I really appreciate all the dev work that goes into the ROM ecosystem, and I know how much time is involved... but the bugs are killing me. This phone is only 2 years old!
What ROMs are still actively maintained?
CM7 porting for this device has stalled
MIUI porting has stalled
Bugless Beast?
I've had major bugs on all of those that have made me go shop around.
Any hints?
-m
Kfazz's ics port, which is pre-alpha. No call audio yet.
Yep. That's it. Time for a new phone. I'm due for one next month.

I only know cm7 is very stable. Why you ned a rom with daily releases? there are enough roms without big bugs.
HO!NO! CM7 Rom is very active, too.
Steel Droid
CM7
HO!NO!
Ultimate milestone (though it hasn't updated since November)
MIUI
Those are the ones that I know of which are still being developed recently.
Frostmod 1.5
this rom was just released a few days ago and he will be working on it later but its a great rom! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374041
Believe actngrezy is building PE7, no release date, chevycam is building Steel Droid 10-possible March release, & still believe cush still working on new building.

I'm currently running liquid 3.2 and have not had any issues at all, I know this rom is not actively being developed, but if your looking for something stable check it out.

Hum, CM7 still is being developed (there are updates in the source code), it just hasn't been enough for a release yet. You can always build the code yourself, though familiarity with Linux is a must.
Nadlabak / Kabaldan is focusing on bringing ICS to the milestone though, and I must say I support his decision - it's already running quite smoothly! If he keeps up the pace, everything will be up and running withing a few months or so
I'm interested to see which ROM everyone is running, and to see some recommendations.
paranoid android with the latest monty kernel. pure excellence
BAMF Rom pretty decent and its pretty stock with a few tweaks..
CM10. Pretty stable for the most part

I'll play. I came from two HTC devices. I thought CM was the solution to everything. The first thing I did was install every CM rom looking for the best one. None were as good as stock. More features, yes, but not as stable and choppier performance. Turns out CM is the solution to sense because it's really the closest you can get to pure Google on a Sense-based device.
I've made the rounds trying everything else out there the last week or two. The best rom I've run in terms of stability and performance is Pure AOSP. It's what I thought I had been trying to get when I tried the CM roms. It really is pure Google.

i always thought that CM was always buggy and not top performance, but when i finally tried it out on my nexus it wasent to bad. But i do agree that stock is faster in performance, and i really like AOKP which has more features i think, and is better performance, but i think that roms based off of mostly stock with a few features will get you the best performance and battery life.
Glazed ROM, Very fast, I like the ability to use Edge swipe to hide the system bar, turn on /off animations looks awesome with cobalt donate theme.
Glazed JellyBean- fast and stable, no non-working apps or hardware issues.

Nice thing about the stock ROM for the N7 is it doesn't suck (once rooted).
Some tablets have such poor factory ROM's that you're pretty much required to run 2nd party ROM's, but for most users- the stock ROM for the N7 is good enough and will do just fine.
Jr6 ROM, based on android jellybean 4.1.1
I'm stock & rooted on my N7 and my GSM GNex... For the 1st time in as long as I can remember, I don't feel the need for a custom ROM with JB 4.1.1 running so smoothly..
Stock and rooted. I haven't found a reason to try another rom yet.
Stock rooted with Motley's kernel running at 1.6 GHz. I agree with the other guys, I haven't felt the need to run a custom ROM (yet). JB is really smooth and the other ROMs don't seem to provide any other amazing features over the stock ROM. Once all the ROMs get out of alpha/beta I may be tempted to switch.

going ahead and trying the glazed rom and see how it works, seems the most complete or out of beta/alpha stage

I just converted to glazed.. It rocks, and is buttery fast.
Running Team BAMFs ROM. It's stable and smooth.

Wouldn't 2nd party be like HTC sense and Samsung touchwiz?
I'm on Glazed and I love it. The mod app that hyperrunner is making looks awesome

Just stock, but rooted. I never have been one to care about all that crap, unless it was my only option to be most up to date.
I've been using android for a few years and for skinned phones sometimes the stock os or ROMs based off of it has some advantages. For example the galaxy note too have the spen FULLY functional and have all the apps associated with it you need a stock based ROM. But for out nexus 4s cm seems to be the only choice. Many other ROMs are based off of it kernel devs use there commits. Cm is usually first and the most stable with updates and mods. I've had cm on all my phones so just wondering what your views are. Is there any real benefit to using any ROM other than cm? Honestly to me the stability is better than anything else out there.... Thanks
Paranoid Android. The hybrid options are amazing and it is as stable as CM... Even more so for me as I had a hiccup with CM.
Honestly, though, it's not all about stability, but the options, the look, the feel, and trying something different. CM is great, but it's the ROM everyone uses... Like a second stock ROM. It becomes boring...

CM is great if it is available. However, they have been known to drop support for phones (the G2 comes to mind), and they of course don't support every phone. I imagine the Nexus phones will be likely to be well-supported. Of course, CM isn't stable yet on the Nexus 4 - and looking at the track record for the Nexus 7 it could be months before it is.
For me stability is a key feature. I'm not sure I'd call CM completely stable, but it is far more disciplined than most of the alternatives. I'd really only call a release stable if it has been in beta for at least a week or two, and there are no significant changes between the beta and stable versions. I've yet to see CM show that kind of discipline, but you can get the same effect by just holding back on new releases for a few weeks, monitoring the bugs/forums, and then picking a nightly build that looks to have all the issues worked out.
I think the modding community has suffered from the platform diversity. Once upon a time everybody owned an HTC Dream and there was some REALLY good software for it as a result. Now it seems like no two developers own the same phone, and it shows.
This looks like a "What's the best ROM?" thread to me. You also seem to be slagging off the other developers.
The bottom line is everybody has their own opinions, read each respective ROM's thread, flash it and make up your own mind. If you're interest in how many people are using a ROM, sort the forum by the "Stats" column.

Back when I had a galaxy nexus, I really enjoyed paranoid. What are you looking forward to flashing?
ubuntu touch
I'm actually rocking Mahdi 2.9 in my nexus 4, so the next one I'm waiting for is its successor, the euphoria-os. Nice performance, lot of features and no bugs.

Sounds interesting. Will have a look. Ubuntu touch looks fun, too. Use it as your daily driver?
Likely going to go for Stock+Xposed (when ART Support finally rolls out) with a few other mods and a Custom Kernel.
That said, if I would be tempted to go for any Custom ROM, it would be only if they offer a Dark theme version to complement the AMOLED display. That said there might be a few existing workarounds that may exist for stock in due time that do not need flashing a whole new ROM for it.
Stock plus exposed of that ever happens. Otherwise I'll try around. my fav was aokp for a couple years
My own
Paranoid with a dark theme ..... Then miui ..... Then dirtyunicorn etc on down the line with some multi boot in there
AOKP or CM, not quite sure yet. Only using CM on my S4 because AOKP support for the device is dead now.
Sent from my Cyanogenified S4.
Back in Gnex days there was a rom called Sourcery. BEST EVER! More customizations than you could begin to imagine. Fantasy and Steam punk boot animations and themes. Bunches of custom softkey icons. Inverted gapps. And pretty stable, too. Haven't found anything since that even comes close.
Running Paranoid on my Nexus 7 currently. Hyperdrive on my GS4 at present.
Vanir, FTW!!!
Slim,Carbon,AOKP,Vanir,Beanstalk, etc.
I've been dealing with a locked down Note 3 for the past 12 months. Can't wait to get back on ALL these ROMS. ?
I want to run Carbon, badly. Been enjoying it for a year now on my l900
Unless we get a version of the Moto X 2014 Lollipop running for the 6, I will be staying on stock.
And thats only for Moto Display...
Hopefully AOSP Purity! Awesomeness
Quite literally all of them at least once.
Bring the Swagger!
but really can't decide. I'll probably flip between AOKP, PA, and CM. Been running CM on the OPO for a while so I'm used to it. Time to see what the others have now.

I'm not going to lie... This device could actually provide a pretty reasonable use case for Ubuntu Touch. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it.

Sourcery has been a stellar ROM for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately I think the team has gone into "development hibernation", and don't plan on building any more. Hopefully they reemerge.
hoping we get some form of multiwindow like the nexus 5 had.. if so and its stable then whatever rom that will be. otherwise i'd love me some stable AOKP

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the PA team have multi-window earmarked as their next big project. They implemented this card stack multitasking recent apps function last year (long before Lollipop was released), and they're always coming up with new stuff. PA is always one step ahead imo, and they're easily the most progressive development team around right now.
With the announcement that CyanogenMod is dead. Are there any "unofficial" ROMs based on CM or AOSP for our TMO Note 4's in active development? I was running the official CM 12.1 roms for the Note 4 although minimal developemnt in the last year or so it was stable and was still getting the monthly security patches. I just discovered the CM14.1 ROM for the Note 4 over in the Verizon Note 4 forums last week.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/cyanogenmod-14-1-t3495231
Ive been using this one for about a week, few minor issues but nothing stopping me from using it as a daily driver. but it was just announced that development will stop on it due to CM being dead now.
For anyone that was unaware of that ROM there you go. Probably the biggest issue I've found sofar with it is GPS doesn't work. So if you need to be able to use navigation it's not a ROM for you. Cellular based location still works so things like weather based on location. Checking In on social media are OK. Also can't video record in 4k but 1080p and everything else camera wise seems ok
I'm pretty much looking for something providing the plan vanilla android experience with minimal customization. Similar to the official CM ROMs preferability nougat based since I've just had a taste of it.
I am not looking for modified carrier ROMs or highly customized CM or AOSP ROMs. I'd rather customize myself.
Hopefully this thread can become a list of these ROMs in development either on this forum or others that we can all explore.

Would love to see a list as well. Also, what minor issues are you having with that rom? Just about to flash it, coming from CM Remix.
Thus far the only issues I've noticed is no GPS, no 4K recording. 1080p max. The google camera doesn't work. The included camera works as well as that snap camera included in the CMRemix ROM. However you cannot use the flash in the snap cam. The camera will crash and your flash will be stuck on till you reboot. I've noticed more force closures with random apps. Might happen once or twice per day vs using the official CM12.1 ROM where I might have seen something like that once or twice a week. I cant say if that is related to the ROM or individual apps having issues with Android N period since its so new

GPS works fine for me on the 12/25 build. Try that one.
Are you absolutely sure you are getting a GPS lock and not just being located based on WiFi/cell? I'm running the 12/25 build as well and I cannot get a GPS lock using a few of the GPS testing apps in the play store. I didn't even notice the GPS issue since location based on WiFi and cell works pretty good. However when I tried to get turn by turn directions with google maps it wouldn't work that's when I noticed using some of those GPS testing apps.
If it is working for you, what bootloader/radio ROM are you on? I'm using EPJ2 here.
Does anyone know if there is a working port of MIUI 8 for our t mobile note 4. I just recently installed it on my HTC one m8 and I love it and the battery life is amazing. I think it would be amazing if we had a working version on our Note 4
