What ROM/kernel are you using? - G2 General

Since a similar topic has 250+ pages on the Nexus 4 forum, it seems that it is not against the rules to share your personal setup in such thread. So let us get started and see what people like this time around

Atm i'm with cloudystock 2.4 + cloudykernel 1.4, i was testing the 2.5 release but it feels slower than the older version (2.4).

I use bruce's ROM and also bruce kernel. I like G2 UI more than G3 UI and also with G2 ROM you get the max features and stability of G2

Curently on stock 20f and bruce kernel

I've tried three roms so far, and here are my experiences with them. Please note that I respect the hard work of every developer - I am stating my personal experience which might not reflect nor represent the experience of other users.
I tried CloudyG3 1.3 with dorimanx kernels 6.8-7.6. Was a fantastic experience and I felt as if I got a new device. UI was beautiful and I loved the flat look. There were some occasional microstutter and battery life wasn't the best I had experienced (coming from stock unrooted) but the looks and the overall feeling was great.
Then I moved on to Pardus HD Classic 7.7 + dorimanx 7.7-7.8.
That was a fantastic rom, too. Battery life was absolutely extreme with dorimanx 7.8. I have next to no complaints about this comination because it works so good. With G2 Xposed and G2Tweaksbox I was able to get a G3ish look and everything was functioning well.
Yesterday I tried Mahdi 9-20 with its kernel.
That thing is blazing fast. Really. Battery life is on par with Cloudy G3. It is not as visually pleasing as CloudyG3 unless you're a sucker for AOSP. The main downside to it, is the horrible camera. My G2 used to take fantastic pictures, but since I switched, that ability is gone.
I might return to Pardus, but I'll give Mahdi a couple days first =)

Best rom until now cloudyG3 ! no need to change kernel.. !! cloudy kernel is just fine!! battery is good but perfomance is the best...
u can flash also g2 camera so u can have both G3 and G2 camera!
just the best until now... !
and stock roms are way better than aosp!

I'm on cloudy G3 2.0 with cloudy kernel. So far it seems more battery hungry than 1.3. But i need to make a few more charging cycles to decide if i will stay on 2.0 or go back to 1.3. Btw , dirty flashed and 0 problems

AICP on the stock AICP kernel that was tweaked by @Snuzzo, only change from stock is using Intelliactive governor, it is the best combination I have found for a ROM on the VS980.

---

CloudyG3 2.0
Now testing different kernels/voltages/settings to see if I can improve battery life even more

Whats the best rom for data/network signal?
I did some speed test because im suspecting cloudyg3 gets lesser signal than stock.
My speedtest proves me right.
With 15minutes interval and same spot.
What rom can you suggest for data and network signal? Thanks.

Speed tests are not an indication of speed... Your signal strength (not speed) should be irrelevant to the ROM, it is a function of the radios which are independent of the ROM itself, although how its displayed to you via the bars is ROM dependent. There are at least a dozen reasons those tests could be different. To test your signal levels, use a tool like Network Signal Info and look at your dBm level, which should a negative number from -60 to -120 with higher numeric values indicated stronger/better signal (-70 is better than -90).
Although I like Speedtest.net for quick speed tests, it is very inconsistent, if your on the US consider FCC Speed Test as it is more standardized but I do recommend going into settings and disabling Background Tests and device wake-up.
I would try a couple other ROMs as well.
