Any annoying bugs on Cm10.1 for N4?
The bugs on the Samsung are due to the difficulty obtaining sources from Samsung. No such problem on the Nexus, and CyanogenMod is as stable as stock and you get the extra features to boot.

ALL of the roms for the Nexus 4 are fast because the phone is fast. I doubt anyone could tell the difference without running benchmarks so you should really just try a few and make a choice based on which feature set you like.

You sir are correct. CM10 on Nexus 4 is the best combination of lightweight and customisable so far that I've seen.

This is borderline a "which is the best ROM" thread and we all know how those turn out. Every ROM I've ever seen claims to be "light and fast" either directly or indirectly..

To the OP.. There are piles and piles of people making ROMs and kernels for this phone. It's one of the most active development communites I've seen in ages. Take advantage of it! No one can pick one for you.. Drop by the development forums, read, read, then read some more.. Pick 5 ROMs that sound up your alley and give them a try.. I'd suggest a ROM a week until you find one you are satisfied with.

Goodluck and enjoy your Nexus!

DONATE TO ME
Best part about coming to a Nexus forum is being confused about what ROM to flash. Always so many great ones to choose from. lol.

So damn true, there are so many ROM's from so many great developers you do really get lost even when going through all of the topics.

So the best bet would be to try it for yourself and flash a few ROM's until you find the one you like.

P.S - this phone is so quick so i doubt really anyone can find a difference in performance between Rom's.

Have fun

Default Re: Fast and Very Light ROM

^ there is a difference but I feel it lies within the individual kernels. I've been testing kernels for about two weeks and find myself always coming back to trinity 97, even with 4.2.2 its smooth and battery life is insane. I've bounced from ROM to ROM and find xylon the smoothest. Once rasbean goes 4.2.2 I'll give it a shot. There are so many Roms and they are all *good. *everyone has their opinions and all the devs here put a lot of work and time in and all deserve the respect they get. As far as a “light" ROM goes slim bean would be the lightest coming in at under 110mb zip file, then you'll need gapps and they have minimal gapps available at around 25mb.

Hence, why these threads are so pointless.
