Best rom for nexus 7 2013? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Im using darkjelly right now, sofar so good, any advise on which is the most stable rom?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Stock is most stable... not sure what your definition of "best" is, but it will definitely change based on what features you want/like/need in a ROM. Try them all out and pick the one that works best for you is my advice.

As railed said, there is no 'best' rom, it depends on what features you want.
Personally I use CM and it's rock solid, but so is pretty much any rom, it's a Nexus device after all :thumbup:

I use CM Kangs with Faux kernel. No issues.

Thanks guys for your insight.

I've been using Slim Bean; no problems so far. I like the non-standard DPI setting (perfect for me) and it has quite a few more customization options than the stock ROM.

Thread Closed.
Here on XDA we prefer not to allow best ROM threads as there is never just one 'best ROM' and which is the best often depends on the user, what they want from their device etc.
This plus best rom threads often spark arguments between users as to which is best.
Thank you

[Poll] [Toro] What ROM are you running as your daily driver?

Like the title says, this isn't about what's "best". It's just to try to get an idea of metrics. As far as I know there's no one tracking how popular any given ROM is, and this won't go a long way to help, but I'm curious.
Please don't check "Yes this is a question" for polls in General. Qs go in Q&A. Edited title.
Thanks

Huh, I'm really surprised there aren't more CyanogenMod users coming through.
I'm running slimbean 3.1 as my daily driver. Its android 4.1.2, but its smooth and everything works! The battery life is excellent as well!

From what I've seen CM is more widely used on manufacture skinned devices. Nexus users don't need CM as much as rest of the android world.

Currently running Jelly Belly 11.1(4.2.1)
Everything is running smoothly and fluidly. Just updated from 11.0 so I'll give it a few days to see how battery life is.

DarkPA 2.54 is my daily driver and will be for a while. I keep trying 4.2+ ROMs and I always end up back here. Tablet UI with inverted colors.....love it lol. :thumbup:
I'm running EOS4 nightlies, and EOS3 nightlies before that with very few problems. Check it out, it's a pretty sweet ROM.
Fitsnugly's CM10.1 has been great as always. Tiny's kernel too.

CM10
I'm using pure AOSP with Trinity Kernel. I can say It's awesome.
It seems like all of the 4.2.1 ROMs are still experiencing issues. Is that even true of vanilla AOSP?
right now liquidsmooth with air kernel, but that's bound to change as i can't leave my phone the way it is anymore.
Sorcery for me excellent amount of customization and battery life is great running the stock kernel packaged with the rom I could go on how awesome this rom is.

There is no such thing as best. My phone and your phone are not identical, even though they may have very been from the same production lot. Nor are the individual circumstances under which two given people use their phones identical. Something that performs extremely well on one phone may very well boot loop on another.
Do some research by reading the applicable dev forum, and then try some different combinations for yourself to see if they work for you under your unique set of circumstances.

I am using Cataclysm ROM with the inbuilt kernel that comes with it and I am completely happy with the battery life.
I could get 2 days out of my device on general usage.
You could try that.

I REALLY doubt you will get the BEST battery performance out of stock.
KERNEL.
there is no best combo, there is only the best combo for you and your device. for me its rasbean jelly rom with trinity kernel. but whats best for me and my device might not be right for you and your device.
I've been using cataclysm with Franco kernel for a while and have been very satisfied.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Agreed, there is no best. I've had good luck with muzzy's aosp room and Trinity kernels. But you might not like that combo. I'm not interested in gaming for instance, so my needs might be different than yours. Try different combos and you'll discover your own best.
Ok.. got it.. thanks everyone

stock rom is the best in my opinion
I think Xylon (014) with the default lean kernel gives good battery life. Tried the ROM with Franco 358 but i went back to lean.
Also, i make site that my most of my apps aren't running in the background and using up the battery... That's what the FAQs from Franco's OP in his thread mentions.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I get over 5 hours screen on time and a flawless smooth ROM with heavy usage with both data and WiFi on with xylon stable and ak purity kernel running Wheatley gov. I just addressed this on the xylon thread. Works well for me and some others.. Have a look its worth the flash to see.

Best I have found is stock.

Check my sig. I can't use any rom other than paranoid. I've tried many different kernels, but i keep going back to Franco.
Whatever combo I use, no more than 2hrs of screen time and 16hrs of standby.

I had great luck with Xylon (latest) with Tiny (latest)
Just flashed Evolution 3.0 and Lean Kernel (latest) and after 2 days I am satisfied.
Good Luck.

For me it's I've been on Muzzy's French Vanilla on stock kernal. However, I've read good things about tiny's kernal too but I haven't tried it myself.
As a noob in the android community, and after trying different roms, i like rasbean the most for different reasons, but on choosing a kernel, for example trinity, there are a lot of options. What's the difference? I really not get it :silly:
for example, TNP1536-512-JB-4.1.2-STABLE67
So this one is max 1536Mhz CPU and max 512 GPU i read on derkernel site
So there's a different setting for graphics (gpu)? I always tought CPU was working between 1536-512 Mhz?
And euh, when i have trinity's app, i can change the settings of this kernel to get this one? (TNP1344-384-JB-4.1.2-STABLE67)
So this is the same kernel but with different settings?
Please make me a little bit smarter

What is the most stable version of AOKP?

Is there a version of AOKP that is comparable to the stability of CM10.0.0? I am looking for a very stable version.

All devices react differently to different ROMs. Nobody can answer this for you because they don't own you specific device. So your best bet would be to just try each one out and see which one works best for your device.
That's true what was said above. Not to mention how even using different apps can affect of your phone works. But overall, if the ROM your looking into has a lot of negative reviews I would stay away from it.

If you want a more direct answer, the 4.1.2 is quite stable. But yes, without trying them out, you'll never know :good:
The 4.1.2 Milestone build was pretty stable back when I used it, but then again performance varies. Good luck
If you have an AT&T Galaxy SIII definitely go with Task650 AOKP JB 4.2.1 he updates his ROM in a regular basis and he is one of the best developers in XDA

you should read the threads and decide yourself reading user reviews and stuff and best option is to try yourself, new phone go start flashing all of them
my opinion - as of now all roms are doing great all are smooth, personal favourites - paranoid android and rasbeanjelly, combine it with ak kernel your phone will fly
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.

What is the best aosp/aokp rom

I have been on cm10.1 and want to change to aosp or aokp just looking for some input on the best ROM thanks

You are on CM and want to change to AOSP?
Check the other thousand best rom threads. Or, make the decision yourself using trial and error or the resource bible.
I use PACman by PapaSmurf as my daily driver and I am very pleased.
+Cool story, bro!
+When I use the "Thanks" button, I use it not only to thank, but also to agree or "+1" and give props, give a thumbs up, and even laugh.
The one that you like....

The one flash and have no complain and loves IS and ALWAYS be the best rawr

I second the pacman rom as far as an aosp rom. It has all the features from all of the big roms, paranoid android, aokp and cyanogenmod. It is, of course, a matter of preference though,, read the op of all the most recently updated roms and decided what you think will be best for you and meet your needs. They all differ in features and performance.
