Wait, kidding? Which forum? Gravity Box is completely compatible with KK. Almost all of the features! Same thing goes for the Xposed Mods. They work pretty well with Kitkat.
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
Xposed and its module works just fine unless if you want to use it with ART. It is not compatible with ART but works just fine with dalvik runtime.
[Nexus 4 General] spg900ny:
I had just done a fresh AOSP rooted 4.4 KK install, didn't switch to ART. Nothing was working. Xposed was installed, was running fine, modules were shown as enabled, but none of the status bar mods were taking effect, even after a reboot. That's when I noticed all the posts about 4.4 KK not working?
[Nexus 4 General] uchihakurtz:
Have you installed Busybox? Just to make sure.

Btw, with all the custom ROMs available for our device it's really hard choosing the right one for some people without installing it which takes time. How about we make a spreadsheet with a list of ROMs and its features since there are always common features such as Active Notification, Navigation Ring Customization, etc.. and unique features too?

Hello, my contribution.

[Nexus 4 General] spg900ny:
No, I had just followed the directions on the Xposed directions. Did I miss Busybox? Might be obvious to some here, but I have pretty much only done what I needed to do to flash the ROMs themselves, and always just tried to follow the directions.

A matrix of the ROMs and features would be awesome, but I have no idea who'd maintain it and I'm not about to volunteer someone else for that :eek: . Here are the features I'd love in a 4.4 KK ROM for the Nexus 4:

1) Completely customizable notification bar, including battery mods

2) Google Experience

3) LTE

4) DSP Manager (or Beats)

5) Lock screen customization

6) Sound - Notification and ringer split

7) Rotating homescreen (for car dock)

8) Any other customizations that usually came with PA, AOPK, CM are a bonus

Right now, I'm back to CM11 with the LTE hotspot fix. I'm sure at some point I'll just abandon the Google launcher and go back to something that allows home rotation. None of the rotator apps I've tried really work well enough for me, and I don't feel like paying for one unless I can find one I really like. Easier to just change launchers, but then I lose out on the Nexus 5 looking icons and text, which I actually really like.

Seems no one is offering exactly what I'd like to see in a ROM, but I am so grateful that all the devs here work so hard for us. I had a Thunderbolt a few years ago and I'll never go back to a phone that's not supported by a wide range of devs again. What a nightmare that thing was.

Nexus FTW!

CM11, stock CM kernel
[Nexus 4 General] uchihakurtz:
I think BusyBox is a must-have to run Xposed unless it's built-in to the ROM.

Why just one guy? Make it public so everyone can edit it and contribute their finding, as long as they keep it clean though. Here's an example or we can use this if you want: Nexus 4 Custom ROM Feature List

Each ROM should use a different row colour, and features that are categorized should be in different colour to ease navigating around and editing. All bolds and 10 pt.
[Nexus 4 General] TheRebel:
Does CM11 still has lag and stuttering when opening using apps like facebook, twitter etc.? When I was on CM11 (but those were early nightlies), I faced some lags and stuttering. Is it still there?
[Nexus 4 General] abalam:
I hava no lags at all. I use cm in combination with hells core 43
[Nexus 4 General] TheRebel:

Yeah may be that was something related to Stock CM Kernel, coz at that time, I was on CM kernel.

Anyway how's HellsCore kernel working with CM11? Coz I've heard custom kernels no more work with CM11

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

Battery don't vary much with rom. It's about how you use your phone, how many apps are running in background, what kernel you use. So, go choose a rom which have all the features you need. From what I experienced, slim rom doesn't guarantee more battery life. It's all depends on how you manage yiur device.

Edit: Clarification. By slim rom, I didn't mean slim team. It was meant to be debloated/less apps/less features/barebone rom. Peace. :D
[Nexus 4 General] briand.mooreg:

After test of various rom I definitively use Purity rom with Franco kernel r203..

Battery life is good enough for me (last a day). The downside of the double-tap screen on feature may reduce battery life significantly by accidentally tap it. The screen on when notification pop up also reduce battery life. Both are bad features for me.

Velocity is not on XDA and since the ROM is from ctfrommn you know why the same is not on XDA. The official thread for the ROM is

http://www.purespeedx.net/index.php/Thread/216-Velocity/?pageNo=1

This ROM has number of commits from Art aosp master branch !! Secondly it has updated qcom drivers in d ROM !! Dalvik is not at all optimized so if u want to make use of it forget thinking about this as ur choice of ROM !! Infact ctfrommn is thinking of removing dalvik altogether since art is so much more smoother and better in terms of battery life !! Recommended kernel could be moob for performance ( but has a bug which causes it to consume a bit more of juice ) ,ak for mix of performance and battery or hellscore for battery !! This is as easy as setting this ROM up
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
Maybe it's just me but I think all of the nexus roms have the same speed. The only difference is the features included. So how does one characterized a rom as the fastest? Just wondering. :)
[Nexus 4 General] NABENDU1:
Well imo each ROM is cooked differently !! They all have some tweaks/features that make them stand out from others !! If you look each one has tweaked dalvik to good effect but the smoothness in performance differs from ROM to ROM !! The general response of a ROM differs even though they are identical becuas of these underthehood tweaks.Coming to benchmarks though I'm not a fan of it on a previous version I had a score of 24k and one user reported 25k with trinity kk kernel !! I never used antutu as a benchmark but still it can give u a rough idea abt speed . So this sums up how I classify it as the fastest ROM !!

Bdw try it once ull feel d differnece
[Nexus 4 General] arffrhn:
Sure I'll try it later. Tried psx before which was revered as the 'fastest' but still it is the same to me. Hence, the wondering. :)
[Nexus 4 General] andy_rose:

Yup art is default runtime in velocity after clean flash .

I use full pa gapps but banks will also work IMO

I flash supersu zip after ROM anyways . In one of the previous versions the same was not inbuilt.

Currently using Mahdi with mahdis Experimental kernel. Amazing speed and battery life.

I was using psx for long time and one of the beta members when the community moved to separate forum. I missed upon Lotta updates from there. May be I should give velocity a try.

As art is default and we know Cooper doesn't work with Art, how do I go with having customizations. Does CFT included any tweaks...? I mean, I m heading to the thread while I type and tempted to flash. Just getting heads up before that.

Edit. So couldn't resist and downloaded the rom. Thinking to flash moob. What's the bug it has and if I can't stand that bug, would u recommend me to flash any other 4.4.2 kernel or stay velocity stock. I had screen freeze issues with ak n hells
[Nexus 4 General] ylukasy:
I'm using the Nexus 5 experience Rom, it's a perfect Rom, loving it ;)
[Nexus 4 General] NABENDU1:
Probably a gaaps issue . Try uninstalling d same and redownload it from d play store and check if it works !! All gapps are fully compatible with art !!

Moob is an awesome kernel but there is some bad commit in there which makes it lose around 2% battery in idle every hour !!Bedalus is searching for d cause of d drain and till then ull have to live with the battery life !! Still end up getting around 3 hrs 40 mins on moon !! Yup even for me ak sometimes gives screen freezes but battery life and performance of ak is good !! Pure performance you could try arkenstone/venom kernel but battery life will be a bit of compromise !! Try matrix for battery life though I have personally hardly used it !!
[Nexus 4 General] andy_rose:
Nah I use banks minimal gapps and YouTube is not included.

So I did get it from the play store. But I see by the latest comments there that I am not the only one, so I guess it is the apps fault.

[Nexus 4 General] RootNightmareX:
I founded on psx forum a good explanation that using xposed changes the optimized frameworks with non optimized one to support modules.

And I quote:''what xposed does is replace the Roms framework with a modified stock Rom version that allows additional modules to be used. So on top of having to use Dalvik, which is already slower, you have to use a different, non-optimized framework. Of course you guys can use whatever you like.''
