Guys someone recommend me a rom which purely focuses on performance and battery life, Idc about the customization. Just pure Aosp which is updated regularly with fixes.....
[Nexus 4 General] gtanner00:
Purespeed x (PSX) is what many are using right now. It has a lot of speed optimizations and updates. The ROM isn't on xda anymore (the team has their own extensive forum purespeedx.net in order to have more control over the project)

The ROM comesnwoth a special mpdecision kernel which you can choose to use (I use Franco instead )

Also the team is in the middle of a shift towards two versions of the ROM. PSX full (with extra features like quick tile customization etc) and PSX Lite which has very limited features chosen by the team and users.

Can someone explain to me what the main allure of CM11 is? I tried it out for a little bit and it seems less customization oriented than most ROMs on here (Slimkat, DU, etc.)

Not trying to insult the ROM or the team. I'm just wondering what I'm missing.

Basically, why would I pick CM over some tweaked AOSP ROM?

Thanks. Might give it a try again if I overlooked something.
[Nexus 4 General] Adarzh:
Currently I'm using Slimrom; SlimKat to be precise. I tried CM rom for sometime and i liked to use Faux and Francos kerenel. Ever since the CM changes and the unavailability of kernels leads me to Slimrom....Its a nice rom with good battery. I tried many roms since then but I'm always coming back to Slimrom. Not sure why....
[Nexus 4 General] Kindatired:
Maybe this is just me by I always saw CM as a rom that was meant for non-nexus phones to give them the aosp experience. I never saw the point in running CM on a nexus phone.
[Nexus 4 General] nadavar:
Funny,I was trying to figure it out also the last few days as so many people use it.

I don't see why someone would use cm on nexus. Although a lot of commits still come from them and most roms rely on their stuff
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
I would say theme chooser is one of the reason. Some people fancies it quite a bit. I was too but now liking the aosp looks more especially the clean, neat look of rastakat. :D

[Nexus 4 General] AllEyezOnMe:
Guys I need help in choosing a new rom, one wich is stable and is upto date but most of all very customisable.

At the moment on pac wich I've been on for very long but it's still on 4.3 and I really want to try kitkat and can't wait any longer for update so was thinking of omni or mahdi. Are ther any other feature packed Roms with alot of options and customisations than anyone can recommend? Also which is better of the 2 I listed?
[Nexus 4 General] wiswis:
Purity
[Nexus 4 General] cincibluer6:
I used Mahdi on my N7 and it had a few hiccups. Omni was nice too so either would be fine.

For pure customization, Slimkat is certainly up there. Purity doesn't have as much but definitely enough to make things look interesting and it is smooth as can be.

My recommendation is either Slimkat or Purity personally. But if you're trying Omni/omni based, I would definitely look at Dirty Unicorns. That ROM is based off of Omni and is LOADED with features, including HALO, PIE, Appbar ribbon, etc. Not as smooth as their N7 Rom but damn nice. I only went back to slimkat as I didn't need HALO and all that on there anyway.

When my Nexus 4 arrived, I flashed nearly every custom rom on a biweekly basis. Since 4.4 I've only been using stock.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FroyoShark:
Personally, I would go with Hashcode's CM10.1 build, but it's a bit more difficult than just changing launchers. It all depends on how much time you're willing to spend, and if you think you can deal with the bugs in the CM10.1 build.
