OK I'm getting pretty interested in cooking my own ROMs. I've seen several tutorials/How To's on XDA.
What I wanna know is which one should someone just getting into ROM cooking for the G Pro use?
I personally prefer custom Stock based ROMs over CM. Does that make a difference?
Is it easier to build CM or Stock based?
Any help\ suggestions would be greatly appreciated ..

I'm no dev but I'd say stock ROMs are harder to make. I don't think anyone can just compile a homemade version of LG's ROMs without proprietary software. It's done by lots and lots of smali modifications. As for AOSP, there was a post on the XDA portal about Builduntu which is a stripped down version of Ubuntu with everything you need to make a ROM. All you need are the sources.

Hi All,
I just got the galaxy nexus and I'd like to root it and get a custom rom. I'm totally new to android phones (although I have android tablets) and have no clue which custom rom will work best. I know of cyanogenmod. But there seems to be many others and I am wondering what at the moment is the best, most stable, newest build etc custom rom for the phone?
Any help and possibly some download things would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402341
This is smooth among the available ROMs.
Hope it helps.
My advice is simple... Try them all! then pick what is right for you. There are change logs and other info in the roms OP that address things that work and things that have issues. I tried a few and landed on the Gummy rom so far it has suited my needs.

Thanks a lot! Looks like a nice rom. I noticed the android version is 4.03. I have seen/read different articles on 4.04 and 4.05. I'm curious if there are any stable roms with the newest versions around. Might be too early though and I don't want to have a buggy rom.
Quick question, since I can't exactly find this with search and haven't seen it in any forums, what happens with some of the stock functions after flashing a Rom?
Specifically, I'm wanting to flash Pac-Rom (all-in-one), but I'm not fond of sacrificing the stock smart screen functions, especially smart stay.
Does anyone know if these functions will still be available? And if not on this Rom, do you know of one that it still will be available on?
Thank you for your non-trollish answers in advance.

None of those functions will be available if you flash any of the AOSP/AOKP/CM roms.
The only way to retain all those special features found on the S4 Tmobile phone is to only
flash those custom roms which are based on the S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware.
You will not only loose those features and functions which you described, but you will
loose many others as well, including wifi calling.
Sometimes it's not easy to tell if a custom rom is AOSP/AOKP/CM because a lot of the
developers fail to make it clear that their roms are AOSP/AOKP/CM in their opening
post which describes the rom and it's features.
If any roms require GAPPS to be downloaded and flashed you can be sure that it's
an AOSP/AOKP/CM type rom.
Good luck!

Really...its all preference ....so start flashing and find out.
Everyone's opinion will be different.

ive been using pro bam 4.3 rom and it has been great. except for battery running out a little fast but am giving it a few days for the rom to settle in!
PA 3.99
I have been messing around with a lot of 4.3 roms and pretty much all of them have the same stability. As for me, I prefer PA (Paranoid Android) 3.99 and PAC Rom but more toward PA 3.99 because it just seem slightly less buggy and bit smoother. Again, to each their own at this point since there is no official 4.3 for this device.

I've been using Hellybean , always you the latest, no issues. Love it.
As others have said its really just a preference thing. I have been trying out a few different ROMs, just to see which ones I like the most, especially 4.3 versions. I have been using [ROM] Unofficial | CyanogenMod 10.2 | Diablo Kernel [09-23-13] from ThdDude for the past day or two and havent had any issues to speak of. I really like that it has the Diablo Kernel compiled. I have noticed though that for some reason when I was trying to Flash 4.3 ROMs with CWM the system would boot but then go black and would have to go into recovery. I finally decided to give TWRP a try and havent experienced any problems flashing 4.3 ROMs. I have actually really been enjoying it and have some real respect for the developers.
stable 4.3 roms
The best I have used is the 9/26 aokp by whitehawkz along with uber kernel. Running 2.6.3.0 twrp. Especially like the active notifications with no problems.
There is no BEST and yet they are all the BEST. Members are expected to research and read through the development threads before altering their device. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM's because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development.
Thread closed.
Have a great day!

Well technically if we can build the 4.4 kernel from source then we could port it. Although I am sure it will require devs to fix the posted source before it can compile properly.
So waiting for an official release will be easier and less problematic. It will mot be very much longer before the official version is out. Two months tops.

Look, I've been out of the rom game for a while but I'm trying to get back in. Sure, theres probably another thread about this but oh well. I just want to know whats the best KK rom (stability wise) available now. I need something with stable LTE & 3G and not many bugs. That's it that's all. Thanks in advance guys, I appreciate it.
PA has been treating me great recently, along with Vanir and the unofficial Gee version of CM11 (NOT the gproj official version).
