New to roms

[2defmouze]

I think i might try that cm10 link you posted since it seems to be a improved aokp ?

I'd disagree.. if that were true, I would just be using CM10

I find AOKP both has more features and is focused on adding more features often, while the CM10 devs admittedly have to spend more time on making CM compatible with a much larger library of devices than on new features, they also do refine their features nicely, but in the end I think you get more with AOKP.

Ok so is aokp designed with nexus 7 in mind ?

The thread I linked to is for their Nexus 7 build. ROMs can be and are built for multiple devices usually.. Nexus devices are just about the easiest to build for as they are completely unlockable and AOSP supported. We wouldn't link you to a ROM that isn't for your device

EDIT: "Grouper" is the official name of the Nexus 7... that's why you see Grouper in the thread title. Again, please be sure to read the Release the Kraken guide I linked to earlier, read through it at least once and preferably more. If you are new to this stuff it does an excellent job of teaching you some basic concepts and ideas in friendly-speak

I'd have to agree with this, and echo everything else 2def has said. The first thing I flashed on my 7 was the Euroskank build of CM10. I then moved on to an AOKP build. I've now settled on Paranoid Android. Personally, I love the tablet UI in PA. Enough so that I don't want to switch back to AOKP (which I run on my phone). All three of these ROMs, however, I find far better than stock. I don't think you'll be disappointed in any of them.

I just wanted to highlight that it is all personal preference. 2def likes AOKP, while I'd rather have PA. As suggested you really should try a couple and see what works for you.

Thanks AB! Yep like I said, I prefer one thing but others prefer something else, and there are no right answers. Many of us switch ROMs pretty often in fact, lol. Definitely best to try a few things and keep your mind open
