Erm.. Flash AOKP and you won't ever be bothered to switch ROMs.

Some of the devs have nightlies, so no, i haven't had that issue! Always something new with a/multiple new feature/features. Plus with theme manager and the amount of roms supporting it, i can go straight on performance and then easily pick my theme.

When you guys flash new ROMs like crazy are you just counting on TI to restore it all quickly? Seems like everyone warns about TI restoring system settings yet people flash roms like crazy.

? I just use my nandroids. The only time I use titanium is for specific apps to carry over.restoring system settings can be problematic

Learn how to start building your own roms. Why use a rom someone else made?

I thought a phone in the Nexus series was meant for flashing ROMs and stuff?

I'd like to flash Provision, but I don't believe there is support for the i515, yet. I've been wanting to try Liquid Smooth, but AOKP just suites me perfectly...I'm scared to make the switch.

Flash cm nighters, almost every night.

no, it was meant to provide clean android experience without skins and bloatware, and ease of rooting and unlocking bootloader for those who care about it
there's nothing wrong with flashing, but flashing several ROMs daily is kind of stupid, people end up not using their phone as a smartphone, instead it becomes just another toy

Nope, as a "developer phone", it's meant for developers to have a stable and clean platform on which to base and write their apps for

Liquid is basically the same as AOKP feature wise with a few more and the ability to choose between the notification power widget and the AOKP toggles

First time rooting/flashing/rom recommendations?

Hi Guys,
Soo.. I know this question might of come up like 100's of times BUT, I couldn't find anything for my needs . My question was, as a guy who is starting out on rooting/flashing/roms/themes etc, what do you recommend I use? Which rom and which themes?? (Want a rom with good features, and I am on JB btw)
Would appreciate your opinions...
Thanks!

I suggest you wait until AOKP ROM updates to JB. I had AOKP and it is beyond awesome
I am just rocking stock everything for now though

When will that be updated? Any estimates?

The CM10 Kang is also a good option. Lots of added features and more coming each day.

+1 CM10 is very good for starters since all you need to do to change most of the customizable things is change a setting! In other words no flashing themes necessary and since a lot of people use it, there is plenty of support and developers.

Forgot how smooth stock is.

So I have flashed many roms on my nexus. The last being xylon. That and purity ak kernel did great for a long time. After awhile with every ROM though it began getting laggy and started having FCS . I decided that I was going to restore my backup. While I was debating what ROM to flash next I couldn't help but notice how stable and snappy my stock backup was. If you can do without customization the stock ROM really is nice. No disrespect to the developers.

I'm done with custom ROM as well. I've been running stock for over two months and I love how well the device performs overall. No less of data, no crashes, no headaches. I haven't been visiting this website like I used to because I do not need to troubleshoot my phone constantly. Flashing ROM can be an addiction.

I can second that. Flashing is very addictive, I update all major custom roms whenever new build is released but eventually I restore my stock backup. The only feature from custom roms I really miss is t9 dialer. I don't like third party dialers from market. I tried to fix it by myself, never successful though. I like the smoothness of our stock which is unfortunately little affected by deodexing in our beloved custom roms. That's the price of customization / theming.

Yeah, since JB the stock image was always smoother. Plus it's flash and forget, in the custom ROM's you're always wondering what's new.

I agree with having root for blocking adds. Adaway ftw!
I myself am getting sick of flashing roms...something always happens when ya either update the rom or custom kernel.. Love the snappy feel of stock everything is so smooth.
But i have to say stock + root + nova launcher with all animations off for faster the light speed = Beastly. Only reason i cant go back to stock is because my my volume down key doesnt work after breaking when replacing the usb port.
So i cant take screenshots and ive tried all different types of screenshot apps and they all suck. So im loving aokp's option of adding the screenshot button to my navbar it really beats the option having it in the power option because ya can take screenshots of ya toggles if need be etc.
Anyway yeah as soon as i get my hands on the n4 thats when ill be running stock + root + launcher i think.

If you purchased a GNex, and are an XDA member, I guess I can't see the reason why you'd keep the phone stock. Lag, the occasional FC, etc. will still occur even on stock; normal maintenance and a few tweaks minimize these regardless of custom or stock.
Admittedly, there's a good case to be made for slowing down the # of flashes during a day/week/month. Typically, there are two types of flashers: those who flash for aesthetics/customization, and those who flash for noticeable gains in performance, batt. life, features. Fortunately, there are developers on XDA who cater to both groups....some even pleasing both groups @ the same time. More often than not, however, there is a lull between Android releases, which produces more ROMS geared towards customization. This contributes to the "bored" factor, and ultimately, threads such as these.
With no disrespect to the OP, if you're content with stock, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and stock+root on the GNex is more than capable of providing a good Android experience. But, holding this phone, and subscribing to these forums leads one to the assumption that you're @ the very least CURIOUS about opening up the possibilities of this phone's capabilities.

I'm Coming to S4! New Dev!

Hey guys! I have ordered my Galaxy S4 now so I will be a new dev for this device. I originally developed for the Galaxy Note II. And I plan on bringing some awesome ROMs to you guys.
But I have a few questions.
1. Can somebody give me a link to the Stock ROM? And CM10.1 if possible.
2. Is there anything important about this device that I may need to know? Please tell me.
3. What do you guys want in a ROM? Mods/Themes/Ect..
I'm looking forward to developing for you guys!

It's easy to miss CM10.1 becuase the thread for it is in the general section as it's not being maintained by the developer.

Awesome thanks man! I have heard a bunch about the features of the S4 but does all that only come on Stock? Or does Cm10.1 come with those features as well.

You lose all features on AOSP ROMS.

If you like all the new features and options of the Galaxy S4 which are advertised you will
really dislike any of the AOKP/AOSP/CM/MIUI roms.
All the Samsung and Touchwiz features and options are totally missing from those roms.
Those roms are as bare bone as possible. They don't even have wifi calling.
Even the excellent camera/camcorder is replaced with a very degraded camera app which
not only has most of the features and options missing, but the user interface looks like
somekind of home made app which does not even resemble the samsung camera.
But I know you will give the CM10 a try for sure, I did it way too many times in the past many
years and now I cannot think of even one good reason why anyone except for the developers
or people who really like to do a lot of experimentation with their phones flashing or using it.

Leaving a stock theme on your rom is perfect! Then people can theme their own phone because not everyone likes one theme!
About mods, just speed and battery life! Those two are important in my opinion!

I personally love the AOSP feel. As far as theme goes. But when it comes to performance I love stock Touchwiz on my Note II. So thats what I will aim for.
And how is the battery life on this phone? I heard from some people that it is really good and others that it isnt.

Ur ROM ? Why ? Would u recom.?

So I been using cleanrom from the beginning of 4.4.2 update I find it really amazing piece of work and it is really hard for me to change it. I am a bit lazy to check out the new Roms to tell the truth that's the only ROM so far I have tried on that device been addicted as all of us to room flashing in g4 and get bored with that.
Do I would like to ask you to write ur
ROM version
Reason for using that specific ROM
Would u recommend it
If not lazy ur setup with kernel
Any issues u have with that rom and wish to change it.
Mine so far
CleanROM 2.6
Absolutely no issues have not tried so far other Roms bit that is amazing
Absolutely recommend for using as a daily ROM
Ex 2.6 no of no oc close to stock as possible performance if phenomenal
NP issue the only thing I wish to have is continue work of that ROM bit it is stopped so I wish to stay updated (I know its late but....) And try other Roms if better.

That is the beauty of Nexus devices - flashing a new ROM whenever the urge strikes you is a trivial matter, it is pretty hard to brick a Nexus barring hardware issues. Flash em all and see what you like best, or just gut the stock ROM and mod it to meet your needs and preferences.

And you can use multiRom to flash and boot multiple roms
