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

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.
title says it all...
Like I said in the thread
Both are very similar performance wise, and probably battery too since they have the same AOSP base and minimal changes
But I find CNA has more tweaks, it seems JB evolution is missing some things in rom control compared with Ice Cold and other AOKP roms, inclusing official AOKP B1 on my N7
I am sticking with CNA for the moment because there are more tweaks I use
I found with my N7 that roms were only different when it comes to looks, with JB as there is smoothness already
Kernels IMO are the biggest difference with JB, they are the hottest topics in the N7 section

Thanks for your comments
I've tried only Codename yet and noticed one unpleasant distinction: the color rendition is different from the one that I get used to. It's much more greenish and yellowish. It's well-seen when you are browsing web pages or use reading apps. The lower the brightness, the uglier the color tint. I have no ideas on how to influence that

My two cents, for a total of 10 hours running Codename. Previous ROM was the May version of Playground ICS (last one posted on XDA).
Maps run well, email has come in and what I've used works, today will be the "acid" test, I know Nik is going to update the Kernel on it so I've not loaded all my apps just the ones I need to get through the day. Texts work well, and Dogcatcher works. I took a few photos and the camera was a little odd but the pictures look good. I will edit and update as it goes to 24hrs of use.
I think codename is better cause has more features.
My report back, Full Day of work, a few phone calls several emails and me playing with GPS just to play with GPS (never worked well in Playground ICS). 16h 20m on battery and I'm at 27%. no crashes or need to reboot. BTW this is the codename version.

I've been running Codename for a few days now and it's one of the most stable roms that I've used. I did try Evolution for a bit, but I preferred Codename due to the extra features that it has, but you can't go wrong with either. Certainly some tweaks need to be made, but I've never had a crash or performance issues.
I am absolutely loving codename jellybean. its super fast and there are no force closes Thanks a lot Nik
I have flashed both and can't decide which one i like better?! Nether less they are both awesome roms! :good:
I have flashed both, tried each out for a day before I decided on Evolution, even though it has fewer tweeks something was just that more alluring. I am always amazed and greatful at the skill of the coders on XDA. I found both have similar FC problems on certain apps, which should help development and updating, if my common sense works.
No freeze yet. The only thing I have is my widgets disappear after reboot and I reboot because fonts go "fuzzy"

I am running Evolution and whenever I play a video it force restarts the phone after a few seconds. This includes with three different media players, plus the YouTube ad, although games run fine.
EDIT: Also crashes when using the camera (stock and 3rd party) when having the camera on for about 30 seconds. Also, I tried the Codename ROM and the same thing happened.
One more thing; I think the Codename ROM is actually smoother then the Evolution ROM.
Second EDIT: This fixed the video playback;
YouTube/Video playback reboots phone
This could be due to flash
Possible temp fix, go to settings > developer options > Disable HW overlays

does camcorder or video work in paranoidandroid?
i honestly believe the best rom for htc incredible s right now is MIUI v4
ive tried codename, and in terms of just being a really nice rom with only one bug that i have encountered, and being incredibly smooth and fast, nothing else comes close for me.
edit. just noticed the title of thread - in that case code name for me too.
Hi, I just crossed back to Android and am excited to be back but am a little peeved with HTC's Sense overlay. I had the Nexus S a couple of years back (and loved it!) before using iOS and now I just upgraded to the One hoping to have the same experience with my Nexus.
My question is...and I'm hoping its in the right forum...is it possible to root the HTC One and have stock vanilla Android on it? Honestly, I kind of feel that HTC Sense ruins a really a beautifully made phone. It does add a lot of unnecessary functions and tries to link everything and everyone which makes it absolutely confusing.
Also...how obnoxious is that bootup with the Sprint splash screen? Ugh. Brings the premium down a couple of notches.
You can root the one easily using HTC's unlock method. I believe there's a toolkit in the development section. No vanilla android just yet. Although sense isn't really as bad as what it used to be. (But again, I primarily use my phone for social networking.)

The cm team had a build but it's very Alpha, that's is the only A.O.S.P. Rom at the moment. Once that's all peachy I'm sure you will see others pop up.
As far as the boot up sound, after you root, most of the available rooms have disable it.
Sent from my HTCONE
When my One is on vibrate I never here the boot up sound.
Also, could the 4.2.2 keyboard be ported over? I've already been replacing HTC apps with stock apps (gallery, clock, etc).

If you want to keep up with the development of CM 10.1 which is very close to vanilla android, heres the link:

So far they've got most things working except for the camera, IR blaster, Bluetooh and using headphones while you're in a call. Give it a couple of weeks though and we'll have a very stable version available. I'm not a fan of sense at all, so I'm excited to flash over to CM 10.1.

Download some different launchers from the Play store and try them out. You don't even need to root a device to change launchers. Simply download, install and open.

I'd be curious to see if there is some portion of the hardware that works only with the Sense framework.
It would be awesome if a custom ROM can push the camera beyond the stock experience. Does the HTC 'ImageChip' work with custom ROMs like CM?
Plain and simple, I'd highly suggest this rom to anyone looking for a new rom. I've always love super roms (roms that mash together features of more than one rom). I've been running it for a couple days now and am loving every second of it. Many parts of this reminds me of PAC rom, but for some reason I'd pick this over PAC anyday, it just has more feeling for some reason.
The Good:
Full LED control. I was so very disappointed in stock android when I saw what the LED can REALLY do (you can pick almost any color under the sun for battery alerts or notifications that you can set up for per app basis)
AOSB in black (EXACTLY the same as PAC in black)
All CM11 features.
You select how many steps there are in the volume control
Good battery life(Can play a lot of games throughout school and it'll be at around 4% when I get home from school)
Slim Recent Apps
Split view(Even though I don't know what you'd use it for on a phone)
Full nav. bar/ring editing support.
The Bad
No Paranoid Android type control of the UI, which I was kind of hoping for, just a type of it through a preinstalled Xposed app
Outdated Xposed and Kernel tweaker, but since their modified they can't be updated from GPlay store. I ended up uninstalling them from system then reinstalled them from GPlay store, but was kind of irritating that they aren't newest versions.
Poor built in kernel. If you want kernel features at all, you'd have to find a good CAF kernel out there (I'm running Chaos Kernel v11.1)
Long hold back to kill app doesn't seem to work
No ability to have the menu button EVER show up unless you manually add it to nav bar, but then the buttons look weird since it makes all the buttons closer and it plain looks weird for it not to stick to the right or left side.
Doesn't get very dark(I also noticed this in stock, but was hoping that there was some change here, but no luck)
Google Camera's HDR+ makes the app crash (Google camera also doesn't automatically install over built in camera app)
All in all I love this rom, but it is a little rough around the edges. NOTE: I don't know if it's just me or what, but I had problems with supersu, but I'm not sure if it was the rom or me just accidentally messing up stuff
This convinced me to keep the stock version No bugs at all, and all the features that it containes are working.

I come from HTC and decided to get my N5 specifically to avoid bootloader locks and get loads & loads of custom ROMs, after I actually bought it, I completely forgot about that, I haven't even rooted my device yet. Stock rom is perfect.
Well if you ever do want to keep stock, but want some features of a custom room, you can always get the gravity box module for xposed, or get multirom so you cab still have your custom rom; just a suggestion

That's what I'm planning to do. Just rooting for extra features, but keeping it stock. The benefits of custom roms are great, but I'm done with bugs and features not functioning as they should.

As we all know, the AOSP camera and even the Google Camera take horrible pictures on the LG G2 running CM11. I was wanting to hear opinions on what people are finding to be the best solution for a better camera on AOSP ROMs, whether it be the stock LG G2 camera in some form or something else. I've seen a lot of apk's and zip's floating around in the past with mixed reviews. This solution seems to have current active users:

I'd love to see something similar on AOSP. His camera mod is that good that it's become a deal breaker for me. I won't use any ROM that doesn't support xdabbeb's camera mod. I'm currently using his ROM. He's got the mod baked right into the ROM. I do miss that AOSP goodness though. What do you recommend for a really stable ROM? I may set one up and make a Nandroid so I can switch back and forth. My biggest pet peeve about Stock ROMS is the lack of Quick Unlock. It's the little things, haha.

Haha yeah I have to say that the LG ROM's lockscreen drove me up a wall very quickly, and the CM11 lockscreen options have been a huge relief. It's such a shame you kinda have to choose between a stellar camera and the buttery smoothness of AOSP. LG's whole UI is like nails on a chalkboard for me. No matter how much I tried to cover it up with launchers, Google Keyboard, lockscreen customization, etc. it always seemed to be like putting lipstick on a pig.
That being said, I recently updated my CM11 nightlies from 4/11 to 5/10 and the stability difference is night and day. 4/11 had several SoDs per day among other random hickups. 5/10 has been steady as a rock. I should also note that I initially flashed 5/11, and the incallui process just would just crash so that was a bit of an issue to say the least, but 5/10 has been great. I'm fairly certain these nightlies require the 12b radios though so just be mindful of that if you've updated to the 24a radios.
I've also read great things about the stability of JackpotCalvin's CM11 based on the 4.4.2 OTA over here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
But the flashing process is pretty intense, so I think I'll just wait until CM officially releases a build based on the 4.4.2 OTA.
Let me know if you end up trying any of the CM11 ROMs!
