Okay, this is not a "what rom is best" thread. I just came back to the nexus 5, and i have been away from "the game" a year!
I only want alittle information about the different kind of roms thats allready out there.
What rom are you using, and why?
What rom do you think fits me if i like custom themes,softkeys etc? I hate circle battery.. and i love "bug free" roms.. all roms will have some bugs evantually.. but whats the most stable way to go? Stock rom with xposed? PA, or maybe CM?
is there still these soft-reboots ? i needa rom wich doesn't have those reboots, and a rom that has great theming potential.
So, let the game begin Tell me what rom you think fits me, and tell me what rom you are using and why.
This will help me and maybe others that struggle to choose a rom, alittle easier.
You can see what we're running by reading the "what are you running on your n5" thread in general.
All bugs are available in the op of ROM threats. They're mostly all stable. Soft reboots are generally a user issue. Configure your phone right and you're good.
You can theme any ROM using xposed. Otherwise look for ROMs with theme engine built in.

I'm coming from the Vibrant forums, and am looking for the best rom to flash onto my friends Captivate. Which rom in your opinion is the best for day to day use? Also are there any roms that still utilize the Touchwiz launcher?
Assonance is the best.
Sent using smoke signals.
Do you know of any roms that contain the Touchwiz launcher?
I'm pretty sure DG has kept a modified version of the TW Launcher in his latest Perception build. And considering it's a DesignGears Rom, you know it's pretty solid.
I'm personally using Auxura at the moment. My next step is going Phoenix (same dev) or Perception.
Alright thanks for the reply. Do you know if Odining back to stock is absolutely necessary? In the Vibrant forums it's totally optional and only precautionary, but it seems like nearly every Dev has it listed as a MUST DO in this forum.
Follow the more rational conventional wisdom

It's paranoid and unnecessary unless you know/suspect that the ROMs use kernels with conflicting filesystems. Just wipe /data and /cache.
Ok guys we all know that best rom threads dont work, Best bet is to try them each over time and make your own mind up.
Perfect Android is a redistribution of the Android Open Source Project and Google software code that I have lightly modified to make as a daily driver for myself that I'm sharing with the community. This project doesn't have and won't focus on adding a ton of features and mods but instead focus on stability, and reliability so yes basically this is a stock like rom but not just stock my only efforts will be to make it run better, and be more polished, and complete.

If you have an error or something pops up I ask that before you post about it please make sure that you are running the ROM as provided. I cannot troubleshoot anything that is related to using other kernels, mods, or themes.
This ROM is basically like a stock rom of jelly bean so there is not a need for screen shots ........
Always remember that XDA started out as a great place and will remain a great place as long as we are great to each other anything used in this ROM is available upon request and feel free to use this as a base rom for any other project my ROM is un-branded just give me some mention .......
WANT TO CUSTOMIZE THIS ROM READ THIS:
Like the ROM and want to add or remove anything or customize for yourself use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 DSIXDA's Kitchen. Its a great kitchen for customizing prebuilt ROMs

Google - I used their apps
AOSP - of course
Probably gonna add a changelog here
AOSP 4.2 ROM so quickly? That will be interesting
Can you have some screenshots?
yep its uploaded
it looks just like stock I built it to be at least as good as what you get from google if everything is working correctly that is when I will begin modifying but for now it looks like the stock ROM so I didn't think screenshots would be needed
first of all you have to give us changelog, then i'll flash it, because now i don't know exactly what are the differences between Your rom and stock, so is it worth flash it?

Its solely up to you guys if you want to flash it as this is an expensive hobby for me I'm just sharing what I do with the community so is it worth it, for me yeah, for you I really don't care, I hope I'm not coming off as an ass but I have to draw a line somewhere. I not making any claims with this ROM I just sharing it if you use it fine if not fine, I don't get into the whole screenshots large claims huge changelog thing I just post and share I also maintain this ROM for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus which it has done just fine so if you want you can do a search here and see what and where I come from .......
I'm very happy when see any new rom in N7 development, because nexus need fresh look from developers, so i was thinking that You could push some new tweaks into ours devices. Almost all roms here are just "cleaned" or "minimalistic" or "performanced" in real these rom are almost stock with the same user experience. So do not get angry when I want to know if there will be something more here...
Does it work with twrp?
After flash with twrp, I see the information is Android 4.2 JOP40C. I dont know whether it is flashed or not?
I will happily try your rom to see how it compares to CleanRom, give my feedback tomorrow

I'm not getting angry with you in fact I agree however, regardless of how you feel about those roms someone still put that effort into them. Honestly for me the N7 is a new device and before I go making claims that my ROM can start your car and end world hunger I want to make sure that it at least meets stock standards. AOSP has done a lot of work to somewhat remove google entries in their code so it has taken me a few days to re-build AOSP code to work correctly with G-APPS and other Google code I do NOT claim to be an over the top developer I just do this as a pastime I have certain things that I do not like and thats why I have started making my own ROMs so that I always get what I want. Now I can tell you this and I know this as a fact THIS IS NOT A WINZIP KITCHEN ROM IT IS BUILT FROM SOURCE it took hella work to get it up to a win zip ROM and thats where we're at so far lol. When I learn all the changes to the 4.2 coding I will start to add small feature to my ROM.

This ROM doesn't include busybox. I think jakdillard should install busybox by default .

Hello all,
Been out of the game for a while, but with the S3, and the horrible OTA update that killed the S3, I'm back.
Did the root & recovery via this method: LINK
Now, I am looking for a ROM, thinking of just going with pure stock, without bloatware BS. What is the favorite, stable ROM out these days? (Just reading up on all of them now, just looking for overall favorites these days.)
If by stock, you mean TW, then there's no 4.2.1. If you mean AOSP (truly not bloated at all), it's currently in 4.2.2. So I'm confused on what you want. I can't comment in TW ROMs, because I strongly prefer AOSP, but if you want AOSP, I'd go with LiquidSmooth personally. SlimROM is also great, as is Paranoid Android.

Because of the question. The fact is that while we can recommend you a ROM we can't guarantee that you will get the same experience that we did. Which is why moderators encourage us to try the ROMs out ourselves.
"Thread closed as "Best" rom for one user is not necessarily the "Best" for another.
Users are encouraged to read and determine what is best for them by reading the knowledge shared via posting.
These threads always spiral into arguments about one rom over another, and thus, trolling ensues.
Please do not post "Best Rom" threads." or even favorite

I never expected any guarantee. As its the General section and it even says 'tips'... I figured asking what people like, currently, would be a good way to look for a ROM so I can read the info and the user feedback in the ROM thread.
Kinda sad users can't get other users opinions for ROMs.
Oh well.

My advice to you for AOSP is to test the ROM based on what you're looking for in a ROM. Also after reading your post since you are not asking for help in choosing a ROM I don't think they close this thread only if you flat out ask us to help you pick a ROM.
My wife wants me to root her phone and install a custom ROM that is issue free. She doesnt need the latest greatest but something super stable. I dont own an SG3, so I dont want to sit here and read forever just for one time. So any and all help is appreciated.

A stock based rom. Just so you know if you don't want to do the reading it takes to find a stable rom nobody will help you.
No I know. I have been around here for sometime now as you can see. But I was wondering if there was any hybrid ROMs out there what are somewhat updated, away from stock bases but still stable. There are ROMs out there that are stable that are well known across the board for the phone. Kinda the goto ROM
Also gotta check if ur wife has the 4.3 OTA. TW custom roms the most atable from wat i read. But if u want an AOSP type then i suggest a 4.3 type rom.. Thats saying if ur wife did not take the 4.3OTA

Well I would tell you to flash a stock based rom that has aosp theme and sounds because from my experience with any aosp rom is to unstable for my daily driver. But if your wife isn't as picky as me I think unofficial cyanogen mod 10.2 was stable.
My DD is/was liquidsmooth 2.37 or 2.10 both aosp 4.3 roms. From my experience

As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to do their own research and make their own determinations as to what is best or most stable for them.
Please interact and study what is being offered in the development threads to arrive to your answer.
Thread closed.
I just bought a new Nexus 5. I love all the extra features custom ROMs come with, and I bought this phone because it has the best ROMs
How good are the various custom ROMs in terms of stability and battery life at present? Should I switch to a ROM rightaway or is it better to wait for better/more stable builds (the ROMs I'm considering are still in beta)?
Imho the best rom is purity for n5, stable and rock solid. For kernels there are a lot but i personally use faux

Hello,
Please read the stickies before creating a new topic. ROM Comparison threads are not allowed here. You can head over to the development section and try the various AWESOME roms which have been developed and settle on the one which suits you the best!
I would reccomend you to stay stock for at least a few weeks so that you feel the stock experience for a while and then jump on to a custom rom as you will now have something to compare the custom rom with and the awesome feeling when you jump from stock to custom!
Almost all the custom roms which are there in the development section are stable enough to be used as a daily driver...
Just a friendly reminder that this thread is about the stability about custom ROMs, not which ROM's the best/better than...
Discussions about stability are ok, but please don't slide into "best ROM" discussions, or else I have to close this thread
Stock works very well. I would recommend you unlock the bootloader right away, then run stock for awhile. Rooted stock with xposed+ gravity box will get you just about anything a custom Rom will have.

The phone is already unlocked/rooted/running CWM. That's the first thing I did when I unboxed it. And I'm already looking into the xposed modules that would fit my requirements.

When you say "stable enough", does that mean there are still some minor issues I might encounter? Also, how would the battery life be compared to stock?

Yes there are... I'm on AICP and I get SODs once every 2-3 days... Because of the various CM patches and other stuffs, it sometimes breaks Tethering (although it is fixed by the dev the very next day)... Some other patch broke the lockscreen wallpaper on other rom...
I hope you know what I'm trying to say... These are just minor issues which occur when you flash custom roms and are ironed out by the dev within days... but they seem negligible when you get the awesome experience in using a custom rom...
What seems stable to one person may not to the next. And vice versa. We all use our phones different ways for different things. The only real way to know is read through the rom threads, starting from the last page and going backwards for latest comments and/or flash them and find out for yourself.
Thanks to nandroid backups and restores....going back to our good setup is easy if you don't like something.

I would stay stock for now and test out all of the custom kernels and see which has the greatest impact on impoving your current battery life. As said before in other threads what works for one Nexus 5 may not be the same on another one. As for the rom I prefer using stock+xposed. The modules I use are: gravitybox, xHaloFloatingWindow (with Floatifications from the play store) and greenify.
The custom dishes by our chefs are all great! Those who have to ask should stay stock for a while!
Stay stock . There has been no need for custom roms for a while. Kk is great. Kernels are another matter. I'd concentrate on finding a good kernel. All the features you want on a rom can be got with Xposed framework and modules, ie gravity box
Sent by mobile telephone.
The N5 has been out for a while, alot of awesome dev's has made roms. At this point, a custom rom is a must for the N5!
I would recommend PA for a stock experience or PAC for a all in one rom.
Thank you for the suggestions everyone.
I've had this phone for just a couple of days, so I won't rush into a custom ROM. Gravitybox and other xposed modules have most of the features and customisations I wanted, so I'll stick to stock for a while, and explore stock KK thoroughly. I might try out a few custom kernels though.
