I've used Stock, Chameleon OS, CM10.2, and CM11. Of those, I like CM11 the best in terms of speed and feel.

I would usually assume stock cm or something with less than stock cm would be faster since I would assume that any extra features are going to be consuming more ram. Then again that's more from my standpoint of using a old PC.

I've upgraded from hashcode's JB to kitkang, not the regular cm, and I feel the system is slower, specially when listening to spotify while downloading torrents, that's why i'm asking.
I've tred three ROMs for the KFHD 7
The three roms I've tried are, in order,
1. [ROM-AOSP] Unofficial CM11.0 KFire HD 7" (KK 4.4_r1.2) [11/25 BETA] - Hashcode
2. [ROM][WIP][PORT][SOME BUGS][Halo]Full ParanoidAndroid Port for KF HD 7 - jb2kred
3. [ROM][PORT][IOAP][4.4.2] Kindle Fire HD 7"[Update 02/06/2014] - BookCase
The most stable, I feel, was Hashcode's. I had almost zero interface issues, but certain games would crash. FYI - Don't buy the games Kami, and Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour. Both crash on opening. Broken Sword 2 crashes at first, but if you keep trying and eventually get a saved game it works. My biggest issue with Hashcode's was that it eventually slowed down to the point of being unusable, particularly the app switcher and home functions. It all started when I began having to press the power button twice to get the device to wake up, which I've come to find out was an issue with the rom. Unfortunately, I can't be certain that it's the new release (cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip) because I switched roms after that happened. If you haven't noticed, Hashcode has released new versions but hasn't updated his original post. If you follow the link to the old version (Goo.im) you'll find the new ones.
I tried the ParanoidAndroid version next. On first install it was incredibly slow and I barely got through the GApps configuration without throwing the tablet. It was still really slow after I finally got to the home screen so I went back into recovery, factory wiped, and reflashed. The same issue, but faster, and slightly usable. Not nearly as snappy as Hashcode's though.
Next up was IOAP. I currently have this rom on my device. It's very quick, but some of the issues that popped up on Hashcode's rom appear on this one - slow app switching, sometimes getting to the home screen is slow. I think he's using Hashcode's "kernel" (I have no idea what that is), so perhaps it's an issue there. The games mentioned before have the same behavior on this rom. One of the more appealing (I think) features of this rom is that it looks quite svelte - clean lines, black and white, bold, custom icons in places. The bootup animation is ugly, but you don't see that very often, obviously. The other features of the rom I don't really use, mostly because I want the tablet to be quick all the time and it seems like the notification system (Halo) interferes with the functioning of the tablet. There are other bugs on the rom that are mentioned in BookCase's post, but I barely noticed them. I really can't decide if this rom is as fast as Hashcode's AOSP build. I'd have to try them side by side. If reflashing HC's rom makes the app switcher and home functions fast again, then I think I'd give the title to that rom, not this one.
If you really want a rom with an extensive notification system - you like to see emails, notifications, even while playing games and you like a robust lock screen notification system, I'd go with BookCase's IOAP build. If you want a rom that's base Cyanogenmod and functions probably the best, I'd go with Hashcode's rom.
My personal favorite is Bookcase's IOAP, its faster than most when Persano's tweaks are added. I think it's the fastest as well

They're a bunch of init.d scripts created by @persano to speed up our Kindle's. He's got tweak packs for all kinds of different ROMs and OS versions of the Amazon stock software. They work quite well.

Omni ROM has been the most stable for me. I've flashed paranoid android, IOAP, and omni ROM. I never really had issues with omni ROM, but the others all seem to have lag that makes me want to throw the tablet. I'm about to try cm.
I'm on cm and for me no issues and runs smooth

Have you already tried CM11? How does it compare to the Omni rom? I am using CM11 and I have lags and stuttering switching apps, scrolling, when going back to the home screen, and when rotating the device. Does the same happen with Omni rom?

yea, paranoid android was the most stable for me with decent speed/load times. omni rom also has an audio issue, the dsp manager crashes constantly.
Thanks! I've been using Pac-Man ROM and it also has an audio issue. I am looking for a stable rom for my Kindle fire hd, so I am gonna give paranoid android a try.

There are a few decent ROM's for the Tate out there. The two I always use are CM and PA. Lately I have been using CM and there is an overclock kernel available for it too. There are many decent ROM's for Tate though.

Make sure you're doing a clean flash. CM 11 is not buggy for me. But repot them to the thread so they can be addressed/compared.

I'm looking for a good stable rom. I don't need the most features, stability and compatibility is more important. Currently I'm running fat and creamy, but I'm seeing a lot of graphical problems. A working camera would be a nice touch too.
Any suggestions?

I'm using jcsullins' cm10 preview and before that, the official CM9 nightlies. I recommend either of them.
Thanks I'm trying the latest cm9 nightly on gooim. Not sure if that is the same but it seems to be working good.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I'd recommend cm10 preview. Been running it for a while and it runs great! Why use cm9 when you can take advantage of cm10 with no side effects?
Well the tablet is mainly for my kids and they likely won't notice the difference. I read something about having to repartition for jelly bean. Is this true with that rom?
On a side note, does anyone have a properly working camera. On the roms I've tried, it kind of works, but the image is stretched so badly it's basically worthless.

When you install cm10, use acmeinstaller3. Might as well do a completely clean install.
Run acmeuninstaller, then in webos and preware download and install 'remove android'.
There are several good how to's here and over at webos nation forum. You can install cm9 using acmeinstaller3.
I would use cm9 official nightly, since your kids will be using it. I recently changed from that to jcsullins' cm10 preview and it's running mostly fine.
The camera on the TP sucks anyway....... It works much better in webos, which is a good os. Tweaked, Imo, webos is the better of the 2, but its lack of apps compared to android kills it.
Feel free to pm if you need some more help.
I lived my nexus 7 on 4.1 but man 4.2 build is so bad. It is almost unusable to me. It is laggy and buggy with freezing all the time. Any suggestions on something very stable, close to stock? How is cyanogenmod? Ideas would be appreciated. Looking to root tomorrow I can't take this any longer.

Ι tried that for a day, it was smooth and all but the battery life while idle was horrible.
Reverted to 4.1.2 stock, is there a way to get rid of the notification to update to 4.2 (without updating ofcourse)...

Strange how peoples experiences differ
I use stock rom 4.2 and never ever have any kind of lag or freezing of any kind - everything works 100% and buttersmooth constantly
I never have to reboot or anything, it just runs for months and not even once have I had any lag or problems
Try a 4.1 rom, CM 10.1 is your best bet, but im not familliar of this device roms.

People have problems with 4.2 if they have old applications that are not updated for 4.2, don't clean their cache, or don't trim their storage.
Any complaints about battery life are due to applications requesting data synch or location. Those wake the Nexus up, and can be turned off.
4.2 is fine for me.

I had similar issues in stock 4.2, tried about 3 others before settling on cm10.1, which runs smooth as can be for me with good battery life.
Seems like the these things are pretty finicky and everyone's handles different ROMs differently.

You do realize not every device is the same. I keep good tabs on my devices. I would know if an application was causing the problem. I've factory reset the device and nothing has changed. Also I've heard from numerous people who have had problems like mine.

I love sparksco's saber mod ROM (4.2.1). It's very smooth and has excellent battery life (10%/hr screen-on time + 10%/day). The supplied kernel is great but I prefer metallice's m-kernel.

That's exactly why I finally decided to root and rom. I did like the 4.2 features so I was shooting for one that incorporated those (dual-sided notification bar, etc.)
Paranoid Android nailed it for me. It feels just like stock 4.2 but is wayyyy smoother, wayyyy less problematic and has a ton of customization options.
I gave cyanogenmod and a couple others a chance first but Paranoid Android definitely has my vote.

This is too funny...
If you have the latest version of jb and it is so bad you can barely use it than you need an RMA.. While it out may have some minor bugs I used it for a long time and loved it... I only switched to paranoid because I love the pie..
It sounds like a hyperbolic exaggeration to me. If not your device is faulty.. or you have some really bad apps messing things up..

just wondering though what is everybodies favorite setup for their tablet?
I like Prime, very smooth yet still has good battery life. It also has features ported from AOKP and CM10.1, but not the battery sucking features. Overall a great ROM. 7080 was scored with quadrant on this ROM.

I am running stock 4.2.2 right now and it is great, but I miss paranoid android and tablet mode. I will probably be going back to paranoid android soon because I can't see the time when I am playing games unlike tablet mode where it is always showing in the nav bar.

I really like the cyanogenmod 10.1 based on 4.2.2 with the battery-friendly franco kernel. VERY fast and smooth and many good features and settings. For the tablet mode like in the paranoid rom I use the xposed framework to manually set the dpi-value for every app.

eactly what are you running on your nexus 7, rom, kernal and launcher and are you rocking any other mods or tweaks with this combination. the device is not brand new most people may have found something that works well for them by now.
ChameleonOS with Chameleon Launcher, and Trinity Kernel have become my Daily Drivers.
No Lag, games play well, videos play well with XBMC and MXPlayer.
Haven't found any need for any tweeks, N7 has been running beautifully.
I'm running this.
I've tried almost every popular ROMs on xda and finally I stick with Purity ROM because
1. It's one of smoothest I've ever tried and it smooth because it's really smooth not by change the way launcher animate and animation speed like in some other ROMs.
2. It's contains only function I want like Pie, Expanded desktop and choose-able status bar show or hide for example.
3. It's can have a really good benchmarks score if you're run it along with some good custom kernels.
4. It's not only fast in benchmarks score but it's also fast in term of real-feel as well.
And for a kernels my choice would be
1. M-Kernel if I want overall performance and best battery life.
2. Faux kernel if I want overall performance (a little bit overall smoother experience).
3. Motley kernel if I want best frame-rate this kernel always give me additional 6-12 fps compare to all the others.
All above is just my personal taste and experience.

I mean all hardware works and all patches applied. Since I have a Nook with the faulty Samsung flash, please keep that in mind too. I'm currently on Marshmallow and while I'm impressed with the technical achievement, I'm not personally happy with the performance.
I ended up doing something similar on my old Nook Color, reverting to CM7 for performance reasons and it extended my ability to use it for another year or so. I'd like to do that again with the Nook HD+.

Then you need to go to CM 10.1.3 stable. It is mature, very fast, stable, and no worry of the trim bug hitting you. You can get it at the Cyanogenmod site. It does for the HD+ what CM 7 did for the NC.

Thank you!
I mean no disrespect to any of the developers who have done a phenomenal thing in porting the Nook HD+ to the latest version of Android, and it works impressively for such older hardware. I will probably try it again later in the future, but for now I just want to reset the device to work the way it did when I first got it and get back to doing my stuff on it.
Edit: This was absolutely the right choice for me. The Nook is now running much cooler to the touch and performance feels much faster.
Can anyone recommend a xposed version to me that works well with CM 10? Also which version of TWRP will be best for that version?
Latest twrp is what I would use. As for xposed, I would get the app, and let it do the dirty work of picking what works for what ROM for you. It will detect which sdk is used, and then default at the latest version available under that sdk.
