[Q] ROM for Galaxy Nexus VZW - General Questions and Answers

I own a VZW Galaxy Nexus and I am new to the entire ROM/kernel business and so far have only flashed MoDaCo custom ROM (IM776D), AOKP, and LiquidSmooth v 1.35.
I really like Liquid but my main problem is language support (need Hebrew fonts) and problems with Bluetooth. Well, at least these are the only problems I experienced.
I would like a recommendation for a good stable ROM which has the following, by importance:
1. Language support (Hebrew)
2. Smooth, quick UI
3. Customizing ability as in Liquid
4. Improved battery life
Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated and if you have a certain ROM kernel combination that would do the job, please keep in mind that I am an noob.
Thanks

I use CM10.2 and it goes perfectly. If you have many apps of course it is going to consume some battery.
Can I have a comparison between the roms ?
I am running PAC 4.2.2 and it is fast, stable with good battery life.
comparison between major roms

-- cyanogenmod is very simple and very less addons but very very fast,smoth and debloated.
-- pac roms are also fast and based on CM but pack of features like pie,ui changer,halo and many more over all ui is same as CM.
-- sungsonic hd is based on latest stock 4.2.2 and also full of features like multiwindow and more, the soud is like boooooom never heart sound like that on any other rom.. little bit slow than CM due to samsung touchwiz ui but sshd worth it.
you check other roms and there features in tab 2 android development section.
now its on you what you want from your tab.....
If you have a P31xx(7" version), i would definitely recommend Pure Bean HD V2. It's fast, stable and consumes similar battery as Cyanogenmod.
Stock roms are good if you want a bit more functionality and a better looking (but slow) interface.
For a P51xx(10" version) Cyanogenmod would be my recommendation. Despite having a higher resolution, the 10" tab uses the same gpu as the 7" tab and has trouble pushing more pixels. Therefore, you would want to squeeze out as much speed as possible.
Ok
Thanks for all who tried to help me
I finally decided to use PAC-Rom
MoKee Open Source 4.4. It has tons of features including multi window for apps and runs on KitKat.

[DISCUSSION] Stock Motorola ROM 5.1 VS 5.1.1 bases ROM's

Hey guys, you who used stock 5.1 and custom ROMS that are having the latest Android version (5.1.1): what differences do you notice?
As we all know 5.1.1 is the latest version which fixes the memory leak, and Moto is still a version behind on 5.1.1: stock only is Android 5.1.
How would you compare stock to the latest Android version with the latest bugfixes and memory leak fix?
Would it be possible that Moto backported 5.1.1 fixes to stock 5.1?
Can a moderator edit "bases ROM's" to "5.1.1-based custom ROMS? I made a typo

It is more a question of CM12.1 vs Stock ROM.
With the Stock Motorola Lollipop you have (at least in theory) a bug free ROM, it will work in every situation and scenarios.
Where with a custom ROM you will have more experimental features, a more tunable kernel and settings (that can either improve or break a ROM) and, to be honest, more support as they update almost every week where Motorola go very slow.

Yeah that's true. I was just wondering if the 5.1 version still has the memory leak which was resolved in 5.1.1. Also, CM12 based roms don't support notification tickers anymore, not even through Xposed so that's a bit pity too. But they do have features you can't find in stock or Xposed.
Just wondering which ROM gives the best performance, CM12 or optimized stock or just plain AOSP without any tweaks.

I can't say if Motorola fix the Memory issue or not. I can say too that some CM12.1 ROMs did have memory issues even at 5.1.1 but i think all are gone now.
About performance, a custom ROM for sure will bring you that. I'm not a big fan of motorola "optimizations" for our devices, in fact i would say they don't do at all.
It all depends really, you could get stock 5.1 with moggy kernel v12 which is very smooth being a linaro based kernel with other optimizations as well. (I was running that earlier today)
But you could also get a custom ROM such as blisspop. Which is very very poorly developed on our device.
A ROM that the developer uses as a daily driver is likely to be better than stock. However you'll find ROMs such as BlissPop where the developer does not run the ROM on our device and merely syncs with latest sources and uploads the builds without testing them first.
Those ROMs are likely to provide worse performance and definitely less stability than stock. Unless of course you flash a custom kernel over it, but then you've just got a sugar coated turd. And nobody wants a turd.

YEs that is true, also there are some ROMs that are much more experimental then stable.
So a research would be need.
That being said, stock is always the safest bet but a nice custom ROM will be superior if he find one.
I'm personally very happy with Euphoria and the R35 version of the Optimus Kernel.
But you (@Sparubens ) would need to flash all the roms to find the one who fit you better, stock and non stock
It's worth considering the difference in Battery-life of Stock Firmware / ROMs in comparison to non-Stock custom ROMs. That could be an interesting thread.

I did flash almost every ROM here but there always seems to be an issue:
-CM12.1 is stable and fast, but doesn't have 4 tiles per row option in QS Settings and doesn't support notification ticker anymore (Xposed), SaberMod is smooth (Beeto) but there's a bug where you can't access SuperSU without dialing a code
- SlimROM wasn't a good experience when trying it to use as daily driver, sluggish and bad multitasking
- CM12.1 based ROMS like CrDroid and Euphoria I do really like, have some bugs like screen pinning causing reboot (CrDroid) and also no real Xposed support for CrDroid and Euphoria doesn't register all touches on the keyboard and makes my phone a bit hot, otherwise I would be very happy to have it as a daily driver, AICP was running okayish but there's been a bug for over a month that when opening the data quick menu, the percentage is misaligned, and it still hasn't been fixed.
- Stock 5.1 is nice, but it's a version behind 5.1.1 so that's not very nice either. Also heavily lacking in options, but I can use Xposed. Also there are 2 carrier labels on the lockscreen which makes no sense at all..
Also, in custom ROMS the torch doesn't seem to be functioning fully, the light density is not at it fullest. Sadly there seem to be some quirks with every ROM.
I'm ready to make compromises and have a ROM as daily driver which doesn't support notification ticker (basically all of them atm) but then there's also the torch issue sadly which pushes me more back to stock. But then again, nobody knows if stock still has the memory leak and opinions have been very different from person to person about stock 5.1.
Some interesting opinions over here, keep 'em coming!
@lost101 I personally think that there's no custom ROM that can match the battery life of stock, it has been impressive, surely on Lollipop.

That's why we have a lot of roms outthere, everyone can choose what match better with everyone, if you want something without issues choose stock, but don't have the optimizations options, if you prefer the options, choose the one you consider is better, but always have to sacrifice something

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500) | ROM Suggestion

Hi guys, I use Android 5.0.1 stock version on my phone, but it uses too much space.
I want to flash a new custom rom, which is lighter, and better than this. I used CyanogenMod but it only has nightly version, and it was not really stable(it still has camera, snapchat, on call problems).
So I am asking if you can suggest me a stable, lightweight and nicely designed(like touchwiz or cm) ROM.
thank you for your time.

You're not the first person to make this mistake, but this is the wrong forum. This forum is for the Galaxy S 4G, a first generation Galaxy S device that was released in 2010. The forum you're looking for is located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/.
There,, you'll find many, many different opinions on what ROM/kernel combination is best, search and read through the threads. Also, since its a Exynos-based device, Custom ROMs are very difficult to make and most will have at least some bugs.

Help me to choose Best ROM

Hi Friends, I have recently rooted my Nexus 5 and willing to experience Custom ROM's. I have flashed MIUI 7 but is full of bugs. My choice for the best themes MIUI provide but it has so many loop holes. Could you people help me out to choose best ROM best in styles and Themes. Thank you.
The most stable ROM that I like is CyanogenMod. Even CM13 is stable. Make sure you get the "Latest Release"... not the "Nightly Release". Encryption works great. Its fast, slimmed down and pretty customizable.
There is no such thing

Custom Roms + Custom Kernel recommendations for Pixel 2?

I just want something stable with fluid and snappy performance for the phone.
Great battery life would be great as well! Any recommendations? Not sure what roms are good for the long run on this phone. Recommendations are highly appreciated
Kernel recommendations are not necessary if the custom rom comes preloaded with its own kernel.
Bumping. I'll be using the Google Edition of this phone with a verizon sim card. Some suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you fellas.
Bootleggers is good. No issues so far. And it already has a custom kernel.
