I'm stuck between cm and purity. Honestly I've been on cm since I bought the phone. Always ended up switching back. I tried out psx but did like how blew features it had. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 General] Vap0rX:
PSX - Pure Speed X + Faux123/Semaphore/Neo11 kernels. Rock solid performance and stability. Ultra smooth as well.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Aashrey99:
I'd recommend this too.

I'm on PSX 6 + Semaphore. Great combo!

Replied with Pure Speed
[Nexus 4 General] Larrondo:
Purity was the first ROM I flashed. It was really stable and nice, a good community, and new releases came with a smart-flash version that could be dirty flashed over the last release easily. Eventually, I began pining for more customization so I tried SLIM and that's where I've been since-- still very stable and nice but there's a bit more options.

So I am on PA latest and Faux kernel

I want to try a new rom. My biggest thing I need is Faux sound and PA PIE. I do not like the pie in slimbean or lmt launcher. I like PA pie option to swipe up to left for quick tiles and right to get notifications. I like the menu button which slimrom does not have. What rom can I try that has the couple of features I want (does one exist, I am sooooo picky with PIE)!!!!!!????????

Thanks so much!

[Nexus 4 General] Svardskampe:

Nah, I don't understand either. People here who are not "into flashing roms" or stock is "good enough" do not belong here.

yeah my point exactly,why have android,especially nexus,and dont mess with it
[Nexus 4 General] wiswis:
Hey guys, what's the ROM with the best overall battery life?
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
Have never understood this logic really. Not everyone has to root a Nexus, just 'cause. I'll go out on a limb and guess that most professional developers (i.e. application developers, Google coders, et al) run their Android phone unrooted. Root isn't required.

That said, yes I'm rooted, and no I'm not currently stock, although I spent much of the past 6 weeks on unrooted stock and enjoyed it.
[Nexus 4 General] Sherrillface:
Liquid smooth 2.8 with mplus build 7 kernel 4.2.2 but blows away any of the ROMs I've tried and excellent battery life even with lte on all the time
[Nexus 4 General] monkor:
I used to root because my HTC Sensation was slow as balls and Sense got boring. Now I have a Nexus and it runs incredibly well without any bugs and looks great. For lack of a better quote, "It just works." Do you have any idea how refreshing that is coming from a phone full of them?

I'm sure in the future I'll start rooting when I get bored or want a feature, but for now I'm just sitting back in amazement. Never owned a phone this smooth before. I also want to wait until KitKat comes out next month, so I only have to do minimal updating once I'm on a ROM.
[Nexus 4 General] Svardskampe:
Try Xprivacy and Halo for features you can have with root access and/or paranoid android rom. You'll be sold immediately.
[Nexus 4 General] Snyper0012:
Purity User here with neo kernel :) fastest + most customizable rom and kernel. try getting 8500 on quadrant with another kernel :)
[Nexus 4 General] monkor:
Halo I'm familiar with, but XPrivacy? PA I had on my sensation and boy did it have a lot of features.
[Nexus 4 General] Svardskampe:
Xprivacy is like the evolution of Pdroid. It can block permissions per app, and even more detailed than regular apps that do this. (Like blocking specific details from Phone details, only block the IMEI for example). Also features crowd sourcing for the pro license, which automatically blocks the permissions an app doesn't need from a repository maintained by "the crowd". Don't want your torch app to search your contacts? disable the permission.

You only need root for that to work, not a specific custom rom. Look for the Xposed thread here on XDA, and Xprivacy is just a module.

Also it isn't too much of a hassle to update PA. Simply download the update over goomanager, or even the OTA app nowadays (can't confirm whether that works as I have never used it) and you're good to go. Maybe an extra button to press in TWRP to flash, but alright...

Also for root apps; Adaway. Get lost off those friggin ads in apps. They drain your battery a lot more and consume lots of data.

Couldn't be happier then with stock rooted 4.3. Everything is running perfect and for once I do not feel the need to flash something new every day.

Just patiently waiting for 4.4 which I will probably continue to run stock as well.....

I am also not convinced that a custom rom or kernel gives better battery life then stock in my 4 years of experience with Android devices.

[Nexus 4 General] gtanner00:
I'm wondering if I can ask for a ROM recommendation for an alternative to slimbean which I am running currently. I am looking for something fast without too many customizations. The one thing I really like about slim is how the pie controls will appear direct above where you swipe up on the bottom of the screen as opposed to always in the center as with PA's implementation.

I would like to switch to another ROM with the same feel preferably built on JSS for better kernel support (slim is JWR) of anyone has recommendations for someone who doesn't want to continually use the trial and error method for choosing one please let me know. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] EternalAndroid:

Hi everyone,

Even though the Nexus 4 isn't exactly my first Android smartphone, I must say that I enjoy it a lot, as it is kind of perfect to me : 4.7" is the ideal size to manipulate the phone with 1 hand, it responds quickly, is nice... the only "con" I found is battery life, that was somewhat "short".

This is why I decided to go to a Custom ROM and found "XDA" and new world opened to me... But, fortunately, there are lots of resources to help a nerd like me to find his way out :)

I wanted to be able to have an interface that matched my tastes. I could achieve that with several apps and launchers... but that implied the installation of a lot of things and it turned out that they all had some glitches at some point or another.

So I decided to go for a custom ROM... and after a lot of reading everywhere, I thought that SlimBeans fitted my needs (it offered everything I was looking for + the access to the different options is sleek and easy to my... I am a nerd, so things have to be simple :) + people report to get some enhanced battery life using it.

Another ROM that really seemed interesting to me was "Cataclysm"... It had a lot of settings for energy savings !

So here I go : unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, did a clean wipe (factory reset + cache + dalvik), installed my SlimBean ROM and : first try, first success :) Played a little with it and found it amazing !

So I went for Cataclysm also : BUMMER : no PIE :(

I also was interested in Liquid Smooth : tried that one also : it is impressively fast, but is stuck on 4.2.2 :( Devs promise a 4.3 port, but I guess this will be released when Google releases it's 4.4 :(

So here I am with SlimBean and I think I'll keep it... and install the "Franco Kernel" which seems to commonly be considered as one of the best (maybe with it's custom brother : Linaro).

OF COURSE : after all those installs, I did a clean reinstall of the Stock ROM and then reinstalled the custom ROM I've chosen :)

Regards.

Hi Kindatired,

Well, I can even install "PIE Control" :)

I tried several things to get my interface to be like the one I was dreaming of (well, so to speak... my dreams lie elsewhere :)

But after each try, I found out that it did NOT fit my needs for a reason or another, but all related to a glitch in the way they function :(

Hi Shengovind,

Does Vanir have a PIE ?

OK OK don't flame me... I'll do my work and search for the answer to that question myself :) [EDIT : Homework done : it HAS a Pie ;)]

Hi GalaxyS,

Thanks for your welcoming.

It is simply amazing to see how many people are here and willing to help.

I appreciate it and I'll try to give my NERDish contributions :)

Vanir has pie, halo,.. and more with crazy speed... :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] gtanner00:
I tried LMT but despite being loaded with features it didn't have the one I wanted or at least I fond think it does.

I want pie to be smaller and be accessible anywhere among the bottom of the screen rather than always centered. I have small hands but love the larger screen

(Even wish it was larger) but like to access pie b anywhere without reaching across. The only way I could accomplish this was to set it to all three sides which had an option foot

"Bottom unentered"

I think this is a feature of cm pie correct?

I ended up using gravity box on xposed framework instead but it is not as sensitive as I would like and has much less tweakability options

Noe with the new cm code change for kernels I don't want to install anything cm based because I run custom kernels

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Try out Franco and then some others like faux or matr1x for comparison

Both of those were hours ahead of Franco in screen on time. You can try matr1x out on slim using the jss to jwr kernel zip. Search for it.

Anything with an mpdecision alternative is better for battery
[Nexus 4 General] NexusPenguin:
Hi Shengovind,

Took Vanir and installed it.

It's really nice and there are a bunch of things that I like : it's really FAST and things are organized in a way that matches my logic...

BUT : for me, it lacks several options that are implemented in most of other custom ROM I've tried.

The first thing concerns the "QuickSettings". 3 problems here : 1°) a limited choice of tiles you can add ; 2°) if I'm not mistaken, there's no option to tweak the appearence (like choose a black background for the tiles) ; 3°) the way to re-arrange the tiles is simply too difficult !

The second thing concerns the NAV Bar : like many other custom ROMS, you can add 2 other buttons to the stock 3 that already exist. And of course, you can change each button and resize the NAVBar. But if you want to change the icon that appears in the NAV Bar, you have to get your own picture. Several other custom ROMS allow you to select "System icons"... and to me, that's pretty handy :) [other opinions may differ... so no flaming for that : I just say what I do not find to my liking, not saying it's a bug or error...]

Just those things made me give it up... and I think I'll stick to SlimBeans. Not that it is any better, but it simply fits my needs more than Vanir...

Now, I'm really awaiting Liquid Smooth 2.10 to be released because it looked really promising to me.

Regards.
