I am running 6.0.1 currently and I am looking for a good all around ROM. What I am looking for is features to play with, and performance.
I am open for suggestions, basically I am just wanting a new ROM to play around with, but that isn't a downgrade from 6 if possible. I am online periodically and will keep checking back to answer any questions that may arise from my odd question, and I am looking forward to everyones opinions on the matter.

Hey all.
I'm getting my new Fuze tomorrow, unless there's delivery complications. And before I get into any custom ROM goodness, I want to put it through the paces to make sure all the features work before I flash it. My question is, without a subscription to AT&T Navigator, or a data plan, what can I do to test all the hardware that will still leave my phone relatively pristine in case I have to return it?
Use QuickGPS and Google Maps if you're trying to test the GPS not sure what exactly you're trying to test be more specific.
I flashed my phone within 3 days but bookmarked where the stock shipped ROM and Radio are so I can reflash and restore if necessary but it's comin up soon on the 30 day mark.
Use blownfuze.org (username / pass = xda) and try some of those Apps out. If you flash your phone make sure you flash Hard SPL first then go from there. The stickies on the Raph forums are pretty damn useful for all aspects of getting you started with tweaking and flashing when you get comfortable to do that.
Best of luck! If you have specific questions they are probably answered SOMEWHERE on the forum so I would suggest the search button but a forum is for discussions so just keep asking questions if you can't find the info that you're looking for, lot's of people here to help you.
Here are also some great, really great comprehensive list of what you can do:

Good morning folks, as the title says, new to Captivate. Any ROM's that folks would recommend. Currently running 2.2.
I"m going to set this up for my son for Christmas and want it to rock. Using Simple Mobile. Are there any known issues with carriers other than AT&T? Thanks for any input. I appreciate it. Time to root this new toy
get ready for bashing...this is Dev section.,...read the rules before posting...
I would recommend all the roms in dev section, as they all are really good.
Next time ask questions in Q and A section.
read the new user guide and watch the video, then hang your head in shame.
DO NOT POST IN DEVELOPMENT UNLESS YOU ARE DEVELOPING!
People don't like when you ask which ROM is best, this is a general nono in the world of XDA. The best thing to do is just do a lot of reading and make the decision for yourself. This way you will have learned a lot of interesting things, and the devs will be happy as well. Hopefully not too many people completely tear you apart for this thread... If you read enough you will find what you are looking for. Good luck.
honestly though, ive just been using the latest leaked stock roms, rooting, removing bloat, and adding modified kernel and running ext4. been beyond happy
Anything from The Collective is excellent, but thats just my opinion.
Cyanogenmod is probably the most popular, a good choice as well
In before lock...
This is akin to going to a sports forum and asking "which team is the best?". It tends to just start a flamewar.
Granted, I think there are things that do differentiate some ROMs over others, and give them advantages... some people might argue it comes down to preference/priorities though. My priorities were:
- HSUPA (eliminating all I897 "stock" ROMs)
- Simple/stock-ish theme (eliminating a ton of other ROMs)
- Stability/reliability
For that reason, I've been running Apex for a while. Before that I was a fan of DesignGears' Captivate ROMs but he's moved on to other devices.
While there are people running early alpha/beta releases of Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" (ICS) ROMs as daily drivers, the ROMs still are a bit too quirky for my tastes so I'll wait a bit longer.
Well this is the Dev section as others have mentioned...but I know how confusing it is to get lost in this vast sea of roms...so I will tell you what I felt the best ROM...well apex 11.1 is the best in my point of view
I go bake a batch of Christmas cookies and y'all have a field day in Development - moved to general and closed.
Hi! I have been switching between many ROMs in the last weeks, unable to the decide which one I should go for. I see someone have asked this question before, but the posts are pretty old. The rom i am looking for should be fast, battery friendly (if possible) and have some cool and useful functions. Thanks for all help
Well, I'm on AICP and I find it the most feature filled ROM out here
I guess as long as this topic doesn't turn into best ROM thing, it's fine...
Do a nandroid backup....and start flashing and see for yourself. Everyone's taste and needs are different. 12 people could answer you with 12 different answers.
XDA is about experimenting and trying things for ourselves.
Good luck!!
Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
for Simple or minimalistic experience, go for Purity or Slim Kat or Liquid Smooth or VanirAOSP
for feature full experience, go for PAC or Carbon or C or Mahdi or SOKP
All The Best
they really dont allow these kinds of threads on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-rom-kernel-threads-t2477889
if you want to find a good rom for yourself, go to the development sections, read the rom ops, and try them out. thats the only way that youre gonba be able to find the perfect rom for yourself and your needs. as someone else already said, as many people are here as many different rom recommendations youll get. theres no one perfect rom.
As stated above, try out different ROM's and decide yourself. The answer to this question is always subjective. You are the only one who knows what works best for you.

Okay, deferring to the wisdom of the elders on this question. I've been all over the place with ROMs, TW and AOSP, but I'm heading to college in a few weeks and I'm looking to "settle down" with a ROM and ride it out until my upgrade in November. Is there a clear winner out there right now in terms of stability/battery life that still has some cool features? I'm very minimalistic and I don't need to be able to customize every single facet of the UI, but rooted stock is a bit too dull for me! I'm on CleanRom 8.2 atm and it's good but not great, I'm really looking for the ultimate daily driver ROM and kernel, please advise a lowly serf such as myself.
I don't believe the rules of XDA allow a "what is the best ROM" thread, so you may not get a simple answer (and to be honest, people have different priorities in what they want or need from a ROM, so what may be best for them may not be best for you).
That said, perhaps the best approach would be to look through the Android Development and Original Android Development topics and look at both the early posts (the OP, plus a page or two after), and the last page or two to get an sense of the install, the features, and the level of support you might get with each ROM. You will also be able to eliminate ROM's that are no longer supported (eg, I believe Scott is no longer supporting CR, so even though it was/is a great ROM, perhaps not the best to consider).
Also google the ROMs to see if there are any YouTubes showing the install and use of the ROM. There are many good reviews of ROMs and seeing them in action is a big help.
Last, a number of ROMs are being discussed on Google+ so you may want to check out that resource too.
And, it may also be a good idea to actually try the ROMs on your phone. ROMs can act differently on your phone than they might on mine.
Hope this helps!!
My recommendation is read all the rom threads as much a you can and experiment by trying them out. "Best of" rom threads are frowned upon because it generally discourages people to read and learn. I am going to close this and trust you will be able to find what you are looking for with some diligence and have fun trying. Thats what makes this site great!:good:
This must be so insanely obvious that I'm being a total idiot by asking. However, I have searched both this site and the rest of the Internet 30 ways to Sunday and haven't even come close to an answer. I have several favorite apps that I use. But my Nexus 7 (first gen) is running like a freaking turtle, so I'm thinking about rooting it and flashing a new ROM so that it is once again functional, at least for reading and the occasional exercise video. But if Overdrive, Nook, Taptu, Feedly, Kindle, Google Books, Pocket and Food Planner Pro don't generally run on non-stock Android, then it would really be a waste of my time. I expect there may be a certain amount of "It depends" in the answer, but is there a way to find out without cluttering up the forums?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. All your apps should run on a custom rom. But you won't know for sure until you try it. You have a Nexus device so it's very easy to go back to stock if you need to. Also see you device's specific forum. You can ask any further questions here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7
