Erm.. Flash AOKP and you won't ever be bothered to switch ROMs.
Some of the devs have nightlies, so no, i haven't had that issue! Always something new with a/multiple new feature/features. Plus with theme manager and the amount of roms supporting it, i can go straight on performance and then easily pick my theme.

When you guys flash new ROMs like crazy are you just counting on TI to restore it all quickly? Seems like everyone warns about TI restoring system settings yet people flash roms like crazy.
? I just use my nandroids. The only time I use titanium is for specific apps to carry over.restoring system settings can be problematic

I'd like to flash Provision, but I don't believe there is support for the i515, yet. I've been wanting to try Liquid Smooth, but AOKP just suites me perfectly...I'm scared to make the switch.

no, it was meant to provide clean android experience without skins and bloatware, and ease of rooting and unlocking bootloader for those who care about it
there's nothing wrong with flashing, but flashing several ROMs daily is kind of stupid, people end up not using their phone as a smartphone, instead it becomes just another toy

Nope, as a "developer phone", it's meant for developers to have a stable and clean platform on which to base and write their apps for

Liquid is basically the same as AOKP feature wise with a few more and the ability to choose between the notification power widget and the AOKP toggles

Simple because our phones are not supposed to have ICS yet. The first ICS leak came FOR TMOBILE about 2 weeks ago until that time we were using AT&T so we now have a compatible version of ICS. The developers are great they made a OS from another phone work on ours, now that they have the correct structure for T-Mobile give them some time they have lives too ya know, Darkside has a good stable rom and constantly improving it. ICS is about 93% fully functional now on our phones, and remember roms cut much of the bloat out that we dont need, etc.otherwise buy a Nexus

Hi Guys,
Soo.. I know this question might of come up like 100's of times BUT, I couldn't find anything for my needs . My question was, as a guy who is starting out on rooting/flashing/roms/themes etc, what do you recommend I use? Which rom and which themes?? (Want a rom with good features, and I am on JB btw)
Would appreciate your opinions...
Thanks!
I suggest you wait until AOKP ROM updates to JB. I had AOKP and it is beyond awesome
I am just rocking stock everything for now though
When will that be updated? Any estimates?

+1 CM10 is very good for starters since all you need to do to change most of the customizable things is change a setting! In other words no flashing themes necessary and since a lot of people use it, there is plenty of support and developers.
So I have flashed many roms on my nexus. The last being xylon. That and purity ak kernel did great for a long time. After awhile with every ROM though it began getting laggy and started having FCS . I decided that I was going to restore my backup. While I was debating what ROM to flash next I couldn't help but notice how stable and snappy my stock backup was. If you can do without customization the stock ROM really is nice. No disrespect to the developers.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm done with custom ROM as well. I've been running stock for over two months and I love how well the device performs overall. No less of data, no crashes, no headaches. I haven't been visiting this website like I used to because I do not need to troubleshoot my phone constantly. Flashing ROM can be an addiction.

I can second that. Flashing is very addictive, I update all major custom roms whenever new build is released but eventually I restore my stock backup. The only feature from custom roms I really miss is t9 dialer. I don't like third party dialers from market. I tried to fix it by myself, never successful though. I like the smoothness of our stock which is unfortunately little affected by deodexing in our beloved custom roms. That's the price of customization / theming.
Yeah, since JB the stock image was always smoother. Plus it's flash and forget, in the custom ROM's you're always wondering what's new.

I agree with having root for blocking adds. Adaway ftw!
I myself am getting sick of flashing roms...something always happens when ya either update the rom or custom kernel.. Love the snappy feel of stock everything is so smooth.
But i have to say stock + root + nova launcher with all animations off for faster the light speed = Beastly. Only reason i cant go back to stock is because my my volume down key doesnt work after breaking when replacing the usb port.
So i cant take screenshots and ive tried all different types of screenshot apps and they all suck. So im loving aokp's option of adding the screenshot button to my navbar it really beats the option having it in the power option because ya can take screenshots of ya toggles if need be etc.
Anyway yeah as soon as i get my hands on the n4 thats when ill be running stock + root + launcher i think.

If you purchased a GNex, and are an XDA member, I guess I can't see the reason why you'd keep the phone stock. Lag, the occasional FC, etc. will still occur even on stock; normal maintenance and a few tweaks minimize these regardless of custom or stock.
Admittedly, there's a good case to be made for slowing down the # of flashes during a day/week/month. Typically, there are two types of flashers: those who flash for aesthetics/customization, and those who flash for noticeable gains in performance, batt. life, features. Fortunately, there are developers on XDA who cater to both groups....some even pleasing both groups @ the same time. More often than not, however, there is a lull between Android releases, which produces more ROMS geared towards customization. This contributes to the "bored" factor, and ultimately, threads such as these.
With no disrespect to the OP, if you're content with stock, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and stock+root on the GNex is more than capable of providing a good Android experience. But, holding this phone, and subscribing to these forums leads one to the assumption that you're @ the very least CURIOUS about opening up the possibilities of this phone's capabilities.
I was wondering ..what is the problem with amking a pure aosp rom? Is it the files or just that cm is more reliable? I wish there was a pure aosp rom.not a fan of cm for a couple of reason one being that it reboots/bootloop every time on my phone with stock or ktoon kernel

Also, does this banned ROM have a smooth handoff between 3G/LTE/WiFi?
I ask because I have flashed several AOSP and AOKP ROMs and they all seemed to struggle for signal strength (thus, draining the phone battery much faster than a TW ROM).

I sort of miss my nexus. Great phone and a lot of ROMs to choose from. I miss how easy it was to switch the housing if you accidentally damaged it or if you wanted to change the color of the housing. I wanted to order another grey housing and make it matte black but I never got the chance or time to do it.
Some recommend to, but I haven't had any issues by not updating my radio.
As for roms, it depends what type of person your girlfriend is. I'd say download the ROMs you mentioned and let her use each one for a day or two and see which one she prefers.
