Which ROM is the most stable for the Note 4?

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.

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.

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.

Best daily driver?

I have been running cm11 as my daily driver lately and wanted to try something new. Can any of you recommend some stable and debloated daily drivers?
Any Stock ROM imo (which this whole thread rly is)
Xdabbeb's ROM
Stock. It's the new custom ROM. Just root, debloat and ad block. You can ad some other tweaks using Xposed, but not really necessary.

I'm surprised by the lack of responses to your question. I guess everyone has their own preferences, but I'll give you some insight from my experiences.
Stock Based Rom: XDABEBB. Very clean and very stable. Perfectly debloated. Play Store and QRemote are already baked into the Rom so you don't need to flash GAPPS nor LGAPPs unless you want to add more.
AOSP Based Rom: crDroid. Stable. Fast. AOSP.
I've run Maladus, Rage Rom, AICP, Resurrection Remix (which is awesome), and BeanStalk. They all are great and I recommend trying them all. You really can't go wrong.
Good luck.
Looks like I won't be flashing for a while. Got black lines all over my Screen.

I would like to change the date to be centered and expand the power off screen to include reboot to name a few.
I am looking for a rom that will be very close to stock with a few mods.
Thanks so much!

absolutely. if youre on a aosp based rom, you can even try a dirty flaah(not wiping anything. but make a backup in recovery first, just in case. if your on a stock or cm based rom, you will have wipe data(factory reset) first
edit.. just read, youre on stock. so, in recovery before you flash this rom(+gapps, +supersu), you will have to wipe data(factory reset)(nothing else) first. dont wipe whats in your storage!
You could also try this

Sinless is a stock based ROM with the mods your looking for. I've used it since day one. I'm not really asop guy since there tends to be bugs. But to each their own.
Chroma rom. Contains what you need, nothing more and nothing less. Lightweight and stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-chroma-01-11-2015-t3000003
I would highly recommend Chroma
Using Chroma since a while now. It's solid. Go for it.

Psssh, that's not what I wanted to hear I want people to come back even if there aren't any bugs. Sensor_ind is on the kernel level, try Franco's test kernel. I also updated modified to r14.1 which stops sensor_ind (using Imoseyon's patches)

You can check out this thread, there is a Debloated version of stock with root, etc. Good for using as is, or with xposed modules: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58717681
You could also try one of the popular T-Mobile roms like Firekat (Canadian version) or Dynamic Kat (using AEL kernel). I don't think they are debloated, but they are indeed awesome and you could just debloat them to your liking
If you want to debloat yourself, this link is very useful for explaining what may or may not be important to you and uninstall the rest.

Going through these roms and manually debloating them is becoming such a pain , so i def agree with you regarding that
Figured I may as well give Cyanogenmod a try. Anyone using it now ? It seems to not be listed here but on their website they have it .

Does anyone know if this will work directly with Canadian Note or if I need to flash something else ?

I tried CM12 just the other day. Still isn't stable enough to be a daily driver in my opinion. Had a few force closes and needed to pull the battery in the first day. So I went back to FireKat. Once CM12 gets stable I'll go back to it for sure.

There is a rom in the making which is exactly that. Even though it is still in beta right now, it is silky smooth. It might hit XDA sooner or later, so keep an eye out for it on the development sections.

Thanks buddy, I'll look into this ROM. Do you think that I need to look for custom Kernel to work with this ROM or no need.
I can suggest the combination from my signature. It is very stable. Another very stable and good ROM is DStrikerZ1.
