It is relevant since ATT kernels will work on the TMO and many custom kernels come in ATT and TMO flavors.

I wont direct others to any other thread then ours, it will be to easy for them to just go and think a rom will work then too. I could start linking people to the att forum for their roms, but I won't cause that is there choice to go that route. I hope you understand.

Thank You Saranhai for the image and thread title idea.

This is a ROM guide, it's something that will help stop all the "best rom available" and "what does this rom have" or "what's broken on this rom"?

If someone wants to write it up, I'll check into it, and add it .

AOSP-ISH 4.2 ROMS
TL;DR update to latest recovery if you plan on sticking with 4.2, every time you update your rom you will get a whole new set of sdcard/0. 4.2 way of handling multiple users for the phone.

More thorough of an explanation!!! 4.2. threads require the latest recovery of your choice (CWM or TWRP) to emulate proper layout for your sdcard (internal). It will setup the internal memory as so (at least for me lol)
/storage/sdcard0=internal
/storage/sdcard1=External
the point of it all was for multiple users to be able to use the device without issues. (more for tablets in a family home that people will share). I believe this is correct with all the formality, at least.

Official CyanogenMod CM10.1: Updated Nightly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778217
Well if you don't know what CM 10 is then you're on the wrong forum. Cyanogen is a form of pure Google experience, with goodies. Close to what you would get from a Nexus device, and more.

Things broken at this point, Blue Tooth audio is borked a little. Every nightly might have issues solved, but another may arise... Just the fun of a nightly build. Check the Changelogs here

Liquid Smooth[4.2.2]: Liquid Smooth: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037028
This is another CM pure Google experience. This is Liquid Smooth, they try and keep people up to date as much as possible, and have a great community backing them up and supporting people's questions. Myself included.

Only issues that I know of are the same as 10.1 CyanogenMod. 4.2.2
Look in the Q&A for any help, it has a very detailed feature list of the rom.

Deviant Xone [4.2.2] http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2215834 - Is a LiquidSmooth base, that Itsmikeramsay ran with and did his own thing. Gave it a serious make over with ParanoidAndroid settings and Tablet UI features and such, gave it a new layout in settings. Great rom, that is being worked on strenuously to make it the people's rom and make it extremely Daily Driver status. Currently going to be switching to CM base with as many features as possible.

[AOKP/CM] Vanilla RootBox [4.2.2] http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2117372Thread closed
Extremely good rom, more AOKP then CM but not any better, has ROM Control, Lockscreen Shortcuts (Paranoid), Expanded Desktop, Hardware Keys Remapping, Lockscreen Hardware Keys Remapping, Screen Security Features (Unlock options).

Great rom overall.

Read thread for expected issue.

AOKP by Jamison904 [4.2.2]
This is AOKP. You have clock changes, a custom image notification backdrop, on-screen navigation bar. Has the great Rom Control, that makes it a great custom rom. Jamison took over builds when it was abandoned, make sure to give him a thanks guys.

has the same bugs as Cyan/AOSP 4.2.2 builds for the most part.

[OFFICIAL][4.2.2] PAC-Man ROM Nightly BuildsParanoid Android Settings a very customizable rom, comes with issues as it is so customizable. The issues come with how you set things up OP's attention notice "Attention! Because this is a mashup of CM10.1, AOKP MR1, and AOSPA, there are some settings that might conflict with others because they are duplicate. Please keep that in mind before you begin to wonder if there is a bug in this ROM. Thanks."

This, like Frosty is a rom based UVDLJA JellyBean, many mods like; Ink Effect in lockscreen port from Note II, pop up browser, Google extensions, 4.2 camera, 4.2 keyboard, tethering mod. It also has the Aroma Installer.

Things broken, don't think there are any. The 4.2 Camera is a little buggy, but the other camera is great still.

Based off of the official UVDLJA Jellybean, it has many mods like; Unrestricted tethering mod, 23 toggle mod, headphone shortcut mod, no incremental ringtone, pinch to zoom gmail apk. For me, this was my go to stable rom for a while. It has great battery and speed.
Themes are available in the OP and many that are in the Theme sections will work on this.

Things broken, don't think there are any.

Another great stock rom base UVDLJA Jellybean, almost positive it is not themed at all. Although stock based themes are flashable in the themes section. It's de-bloated and has all the tweaks for build.prop for speed, network speeds, and battery. Has WiFi tether treve_app, and inverted Google talk (dark theme), has GoogleEars, has Long Press Volume To Skip Songs while the screen is off, has AC!D Audio Engine, some Android 4.2 Apps.

Didn't notice many issues with the rom, at least none posted by people. Let me know if there are some.

These ROMs will not have native T-Mobile things ie; Wifi calling, & T-Mobile "bloat". Might have trouble with APN's, or WiFi issues that are kernel related.

It DOES NOT have multi-view it may be incorporated in the future but we will see.

The rom has Multi Window ported from Note II, Long press volume to skip tracks, Wifi Tether app working right out of the box, Pdroid built in. Read the thread before flashing the rom is a port but doesn't seem to be optimized for tmobile. Check kernel and apn's as this was a CDMA rom.

First time checking this out, although I've seen your sig many times :laugh:. Awesome thread. Definitely would have saved me some time if I had checked it out earlier.

Btw, I know you're in the process of updating the OP but just wanted to point out that Hyperdrive is on RLS13. The OP still says RLS8.1. I can imagine how hard it would be to keep up with all those threads. Keep it up bro.
