Hi all,
I'm interested in trying out CM 9.1 seeing that theres a stable build out. I've never used AOSP based ROMS before, only TW simply because I rely on WiFi calling. However, I can overlook that seeing that (correct me if I'm wrong) CM 9.1 has amazing battery life and is rock solid. I'm not quite sure how to go about flashing it. I did a search and didn't find anything. Do I need GAAPS? & what is that ?
Some insight on this would highly be appreciated.
You flash as any other ROM. Coming from TW, clean flash is a must. GAPPS is a collection of google apps you will need to log into your account. Flash it after yiu flashed the ROM. Read up in the CM9 thread for all the info you need.

GAAPS is the google frameword that lets you get access to all the google related apps and sync. You don't need it but you won't get the google stuff.
I've been running CM9.1 for about 3 weeks now and I've been kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It's great, way better battery life and less issues than I had w/ the stock TW build.
Hey,
So I found a MIUI 3.5 ver. ported from the GS3 in the Development Forums with some inexplicable problems with it (home button wont work, Play Store crashes, etc.) which I will address when I reach the 10 post mark, but I was just wondering when a MIUI 3.5 (V5) official version will be released, because even the latest 2.12 for the T989 is glitchy and certain apps crash and doesnt have some of the features and animations I loved in the experimental GS3 port.
So any news from Xiaomi you have heard or developed on?
Thanks, and if anyones wondering I'm running CM10.1 nightlies. :laugh:
Nobody else has these issues, clean flash with infamous wipe scripts. Also follow the op's instructions for flashing (it says flash miui, get past setup screen, then flash 4.1.2 gapps). Do all of this and the only bug you will find is the camera

MIUI v5 is based off 4.2. Look up things before you go telling people to flash older gapps. Not to mention I'm fairly positive (it's been a while) that you don't even flash GApps with MIUI because they have their own versions of apps.

Miui v5 is 4.1 and the 4.2 version of v5 came out 2 weeks ago. I do not include gapps in my ROMs(no one includes them in miui now a days) so 4.1 gapps have to be flashed

now which rom u use and which rom u flash next
Stock ROM+Xposed Framework+Gravity+francos kernel, gives me pretty much all I need and want. That being said, I do plan on installing MultiROM and trying this out.

Stock ROM rooted with xposed framework, root and everything. Seems like it's the most stable ROM, but I'm going to try CM11 for the extra features !

Scrosler's clean rom 2.6. I'll probably flash cleanrom 2.7 when it comes out, as clearnrom suits my needs.

On my Nexus 7 2013? Cyanogenmod 11, because of the extra features. Not sure if this ROM improves battery life compared to stock ROM, but at least it does on my Nexus 5.

+1, and I have Elementalx 2.4 with minumal tweaks.
OmniRom as they are a new team with some good ideas like multi window however currently not implement of their official nightly builds. Also has opendelta which is an ota with a twist. Trying it out so far so good and stable running ART.

Also I'd like to say they seem to have a lot more activity on their gerrit than say PA, which translates to a more enjoyable testing experience (at least for me) due to more changes in nightlies.
Mahdi ROM for nexus 4, will probably stick to this or purity until carbon release their 4.4 ROM

SlimRom 4.4.2. build 2.6 with ElementalX 2.6 kernel.
Everything is working smoothly, the only feature i miss is keyboard arrows buttons in navigation bar when typing.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 d2att....just flashed "[ROM][KERNEL][4.4.2/4.3] Quantum v3.21 & QuantumKernel 1/16". In the about phone settings is the option to update CM nightlies, same as a normal rom from the CM nightly does. This option seems to work as it does bring up available CM nightly roms for download. This Quantum rom is CM based. My question is "should I attempt to install a different CM nightly on this modded rom"? Do you think this option was just left in by mistake by the developer? My instinct tells me not to try it, but I'm not sure if this is an actual update option for the rom. I would ask this in the rom developement section but I am limited by posting rules. Thanks

I don't use Quantum anymore, but I think that's just left in there because it's essentially CM but with tweaks and optimizations. I could be wrong, but if you want Pwn's work, don't use CM's updater.

Thanks for your quick response. That's pretty much what I thought would be the answer, but I did see, in at least one instance, where he advised someone to flash to an earlier CM nightly to try to correct a problem. Thought that maybe that was kind of a standard procedure with CM based roms, & they could continue to be updated with nightlies without losing the tweaks. Thanks again for response!
Hi,

You don't need roms for that, you need kernels try Franco's kernel. Cynogen is the most stable and bug free ROM out there.

Thanks a lot.

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
Get the latest version from here and be sure to select the correct device or you know..... Brick etc...
You can find many kernels on the development section of your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development this is for maguro
You can use others but I prefer using Franco kernel as it is very easy to flash (you can download it's app from play store just type Franco kernels and download it. You can use auto flash option from it)
Remember these things are very tricky,it can make your device unusable if you install it incorrectly so..... Take care
And yeah nightlies are official so you better get them from their website as they are fully tested and it is less likely to go anything wrong with them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ex-samsung-galaxy-nexus-roms-kernels-t1792896 check it out and be sure to
thank that person and yeah it is for maguro

I know that people generally stick to Cyanogenmod due to it's stability, but I think it is overrated due to the fact that they support so many devices. I would prefer ROMs where the devs actually have the device, and focus on the device since they plan to have it for a while.
With that being said, here is my favorite ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omnimetal-linaro-omni-rom-t2550477
I haven't had any issues (like apps that force close) on it, and apps run fine. In fact, I have also switched to ART and it is pretty stable and blazingly fast. My test was its battery life, and it lasted me close to 7 days on standby with groove ip running on it (receiving calls, texts, etc.), and 2 days with active usage with a sim card.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for atleast reply and suggesting me some ROM which is i ever try.. but now i am little confused, for selecting ROM, I made my mind as per last reply ROM from CM11 Nightly and Kernel From Franco but now OMNI i need to learn about that too.
Can anyone have suggestion on that or give me little more light on ROM.
Thanks
Its good to have choices
If you are new to flashing ROMs, usually CM 11 is an excellent choice.
However, to me speed, low RAM consumption and good battery life matters, so here are the reasons why I chose that ROM:
1. Linaro toolchain - Here is a link to explain why it is faster than standard CM:
http://www.androidauthority.com/linaro-android-is-up-to-twice-as-fast-as-stock-android-92831/
2. Dirty_V kernel - For speed, most of us Nexus users feel it is the best. It is an improvement over Franco's kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-dirtyv-t2613655
So, I usually choose a ROM which uses the linaro toolchain. I also got a ton of cool features like notifications, omniswitch, etc. which you can read about in the ROM link from my previous post.
In the end, I am just giving you suggestions. Why don't you try creating a nandroid backup and then flashing many ROMs to see which one you like? Using the nandroid backup, you could always come back to the tried and trusted CM 11 !
Here is a small intro to nandroid backups which may be useful even in the future in case you mess up your phone with a bad update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/NANDroid
Hope this helps! :good:
I'm switch between 2 Roms.
Remix
Vanir
Bothe stable and fast.
CU
Litening
Thanks really ! I'll definatly read and try on of that, but first I'll take nandroid backup and learn how to restore etc.
CM11 is good but some time its response very lately specially when charging.

You might want to try omnirom (google for omnirom download, you want the maguro version).
They push daily updates (I install updates every 1-3 weeks). They closely track AOSP (meaning a new AOSP will be made available ASAP). It's a very stable rom and I'm running it my nexus 4 and a modified version on my Galaxy Nexus. It's been incredibly stable and reliable so far. Oh, and its 4.4.2
No try omnimetal! No try vanir! No try liquidsmooth! No try Xenonhd!. So you need to test everything. These threads are useless and not allowed. Choose one you like. Every rom is stable unless specified otherwise..

Pick the one from the omnirom.org download page. All others are remixes - cool stuff you can get in this forum, but not the most stable experience.
