Stock cm.If you want some extra features go for Paranoid Android.

Pristine rom

Slim Bean for me. I don't know how close to stock it is, but it seems very light on bloat. I did use Paranoid Android for a few weeks, but found stability going backwards the further it was developed. Maybe PA is good now, but I'm sticking with Slim.

The instructions are here - http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/installation. Make sure you read the page fully, including the warning in bold at the top, and that you understand everything before you start.
The instructions make sense to me, but I'm used to flashing. The instructions are not a full flashing tutorial and they only cover the key points specific to Slim Bean. Steps which would apply for all custom ROMs include....
1. You will need to install a custom recovery on your phone as the instructions cannot be followed using the standard Samsung recovery. This would be true for any custom ROM. There are various options for installing custom recovery. Telling you what to do is outside the scope of the ROM developer and the installation instructions for the ROM. Personally I install Philz kernel onto my stock ROMs in order to gain custom recovery features. Now that I have a custom recovery installed this is not a step I need to repeat every time I want to flash a new ROM. It's also why ROM installation instructions don't bother to mention this - it's assumed as a given.
2. It would be a wise precaution to create a Nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. A custom recovery will let you do this. While recommended, it is not a requirement for a new ROM install so it may or may not get mentioned in the instructions.
3. You will need to download the new ROM and Gapps to the phone. I download to external storage (the micro SD card).
4. Worth repeating - wiping/flashing always carries the (small) risk of something going wrong, which could in the worst case destroy your phone. Less dramatic problems might be boot hangs or boot loops. I've only got into a boot loop once, and that was because I tried to short cut the instructions. Fortunately I dug myself out of that hole by flashing a stock Samsung ROM using PC Odin. The risk is yours if you want to go ahead.
That's the best I can do to help. If anyone else cares to chip in to cover anything I've missed then feel free.

If you want a pure aosp experience use the supernexus rom.
All the others mentioned here are CM based ones, not AoSP

You're right.
Always thought it was, but it seems it only has cherry picks from CM and AOKP.
Still, super nexus is built purely on AOSP code, and technically is 'closest to pure android'.
Thanks for correcting me tough.

Haha. I know that. But the thread is about the ROM that is closest to AOSP, and nothing is closer than AOSP than AOSP itself.

Are the 24a ASOP roms, mostly stable now? Meaning no SODs or random reboots?

Using the 24A drivers/kernel source has eliminated SODs. I have yet to have a reboot running Carbon based on 24A.

Im running the C-ROM (i could not get carbon rom to install- kept doing boot loops)...
The rom is great, has a lot of features, but does not seem to want to stay on LTE very much... it's very flaky... I switch back and forth between the nexus 5 running Slim Kat, and the LG g2 running C-Rom, and the LG g2 will stay on HSPA+, and the Nexus 5 will stay on LTE...
Any reasons for this? both have the same APN (fast.t-mobile.com)...

Yep, stick to the betas bigshotrob22 is posting, my sig is to the latest. Hopefully someday the nightlies will get moved to 24A.

Yes all of those roms are 24a and there are no more SODs. Proximity is stil a little wonky but not as bad as before.

Which ROM is the most stable?

Most of the non AOSP ROMS are stable.

Firekat. Definitely Firekat.

Been running rapture for over a month now and is buttery smooth.
But try a few yourself, and see which one works best for your needs.

this here.
But if you want my opinion it's stock rom.

Rapture rom for me

Stock, though not a rom, is the most stable.
Stability depends on the user phone as well as what the user does with it. Rapture works great on my phone but I have seen complaints of instability. Firekat also work great on my phone, as well as dynamic and all the ports. Yet, I have seen complaints of instability. Now the AOSP based roms are truly unstable because they are in the testing, beta phase considering they are not a native build for our Touchwiz based samsung device. Not every device is made the same so flash and see which loves your phone the best.
Hope that helps.

good news everybody Official AICP nightlies are here
http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=trltetmo

Rapture ran the smoothest for me and would be my go to but I ran into signal issues for some reason. Firekat and infamous I run right now and haven't had any issues yet.

Fire Kat V8 for sure.
Be sure to follow instructions to enhance battery life too and you should be getting about 8 hours of screen time.

I see in the fire Kat OP It seems to be a little confusing as to how to install. Is there a base ROM that flashes before V8?

Mega recommends a clean flash.
Basically just wiping cache, Dalvick, and data in the team win recovery.
But you can flash firekat over anj or ank.
I finally flashed the whole ank update. Bootloader and all.
That's what I flashed firekat v8 on top of:

The additional tweaks in the op2 are tight, and increase battery life a lot, but installing firekat is just like installing any other rom.

AICP is based off of AOSP, all the custom roms that are not TouchWiz are AOSP based roms even CM. AICP (Android Ice Cold Project) is a custom rom with a lot of customization options they are not all added as of yet but they certainly are being added gradually.

Definitely stock

They are all stable for the people using them. Some minor bugs might be there, but might not be noticed by others. So by asking this you will get a list of all the popular ROMs. You need to make a backup, read the development threads to find one that has all the features YOU want and try it. If you find a bug, search that thread to see if a fix or workaraound was posted. You will find much more self satisfaction and knowledge in this path of discovery.

Nexus 6 ROM Recommendations

I'm getting the Nexus 6 from Verzion next week. I'm looking for recommendations for good 5.1 ROMs that can use VoLTE and is good for Verizon. I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 and have only been using TouchWiz ROMs, so I'm unfamiliar with the AOSP ROMs. How are the CM 12.1 Nightlies? Are there any other ROMs I should try besides that?

try any rom, they are all good. but.. stay away from cm!

I used to use CM on my DROID RAZR HD and I loved it.

Numero uno rom in my opinion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3148214

ive been rocking cyanideL as my daily for two or more months now. mainly because it has the best nav bar editor (havent tried new one from bliss). was flashing different roms twice a week before that. thats if you are okay with cm based. other cm based roms with that navbar editor are exodus (the creator of the navbar editor in question) and fusion. thing about cm, be careful about encryption being forced, and compatability with some kernals.
if you go aosp, chroma is good, pure nexus is too. if you want stock based, i like N6Shamu, which has gravitybox as an installation option in the aroma installer. TraSmooth is stock based with a lot of optimizations, and some of the m preview stuff.
another option is the m preview stock based roms. jdx is an m preview stock based rom that is good at keeping up with those previews.
if you are on t mobile and need wifi/lte calling, there are only a handful that have ironed that all out.

Custom ROM and Force Reboots

I have had a DT since launch and I have had a custom ROM on for quite a while and upon using Android N (through crDroid) I found an extreme amount of forced reboots, I was wondering what causes them as I would love to join the ranks of the 1%ers who use android N across all platforms.
Obviously saying "it doesn't work please fix" is not going to get me anywhere so ill throw my pride out the window and accept any and all assistance if yall would be so kind.

crDroid is notorious for that. Try any of the other 7.1 roms that are out there. I installed AOKP 2 days ago and it hasn't rebooted yet. Battery life is awesome too.

ok. Ill try out aokp as that is what I used in 6.0.1 Thanks!

Just to give you an update, I just removed AOKP because whenever I try to make a call through a Bluetooth device (like my car's hands free system), it completely messes up the phone and eventually force reboots. These roms are based on early versions of CM14.1 (we don't even have official CM14.1 builds yet) so some bugs are to be expected, but they're all being updated very regularly so I expect that they will be virtually bug free in a no time. Just keep trying them until you find one that works for you.

Also @calsurferpunk just re-synced his "unofficial" CM14 to RR's builds to hope to get that stability. Previously he was uing crDroids database (or whatever). His unofficial CM14 builds are a hybrid of more bare bones CM and everything-including-the-kitchen sink tweaks of custom ROMs. His builds have the more popular tweaks, like being able to download Moto apps and a couple more, but are not change-everything ROMs.

I really appreciate your assistance with this mate. I remember back when we had mofo and your only option was basically build an image yourself or take whatever one guy was developing. I'm really thankful we have evolved no thanks to the developers like chainfire and all the wonderful people who still care for our 3900mah mini Nexus 6... Or at least close enough
Edit: I will try out CM14.1 Unofficial for a day and see how that goes. I really want to stay away from "kitchen sink" roms because of the restarts. Thanks again for your help
