Here is the new Cyanogen boot animation for fla.shX2 ROM
Try this and leave your opinions
Installation:
Just flash it via CWM.

Ahem - this is not cyanogen - so why put this up and annoy the developers of cyanogen.
They are working on cyanogen mod and the last thing they need is people posted stuff like this attachement and therefore falsely make some individuals believe they have the cyanogen mod or allowing individuals to falsely boast they have the cyanogen mod.
Cyanogen will come to us hopefully but if it does not, then it does not - but it does not allow people to use thier unique bootanimation.
Just my opinion and if you dont like it flame away as I will not respond to it.

i dunno y u guys are obsessed with cynogenmod .... tring to look as close to it as possible ... cause i am using fla.sh rom which is quite nice & who cares for cynogen ROM ... so try to flaunt this ROM rather than cynogen !!
I would agree with your comment about fla.sh - Im using X2.2 and it is fast and stable - I dont have the issues with SOD and therefore did not go back to X2.3 which had some build.prop tweaks, a new boot logo but wiped my APN for some reason.
I get extremely good battery life and I like the build. Its an excellent Rom and I have been recommending it to my friends and colleagues who have bought Aces.
I would just like to see an official Cyanogen build for the Ace - having had the pleasure of using it on 2 other android phone over the years.
I general, i think the cm7 bootanimation is pretty nice, using a MIUI bootanimation though

I'm obsessed with CyanogenMOD because it triggers all the power of RAM,It has all cool tweaks, all animations, cool Bootanimation, pure Google experience (cause Made from AOSP Build). All the things that possible for tweaking already tweaked! I'm a CyanogenMOD fan
I hope CyanogenMOD will come to SGA Hope 4 the best! Cheers 4 CyanogenMOD Dev team!
I tried this. Looks cool but I have a very slow boot time. I don't know maybe it's just me.

Hi Devs,
Can Anyone work on porting MIUI rom In wildfire as I saw one of my friends using MIUI rom in his Defy and m very much excited to use it in wildfire.
i want it to but its not possible due to hardware limitations on the wildfire ;[
Not going to happen for several reasons. Its closed source, and, it needs pretty powerful hardware (Which is why even no MDPI Phone has it yet)
humm. i agree with 3xeno. the only possible way i think is to make an miui theme for theme chooser.containig almost all the graphics of miui. but it will also be a hard task, obtaining miui original icons,resizing, theam building etc.

Ya i agree with all but i have seen that in galaxy 3 the MIUI rom was ported sucessfully which is also an LDPI and ARM v6 phone.
Is that a full fledged proper MIUI Port? I somehow doubt it. Anyway, you can see the level of activity at the Wildfire Forums yourself to know that even if porting of MIUI was possible, there would be few who would actually do it.
Besides, Galaxy 3 has a GPU, unlike the Wildfire. (Although I must admit I am surprised to see it working on a non HDPI device, I'll have to dig a bit more on it)
I hv seen it thats y i m saying dat . obviously it is not so easy but if devs can give it a try.
Or else one can develop a MIUI theme for theme chooser.
MIUI Themes for Theme Chooser are available. You can refer them here:

Dont forget though, they are 'just' themes.
What 3xeno said.
You could also try the translated tenscent launcher in the android themes section for the full miui feel, or qq launcher which has an app drawer.
But I don't like them cause they don't have many features and are useless lol, not to mention the laaaag, which is why I'm sticking with real miui for now.

u guessed it right, its not a full port. That guy who's a friend of mine (an IITian) has ported the launcher and 9 lockscreen mode only and that too from SGS. Its called MIUIwiz. He edited the following files (framework.jar, services.jar, android.policy.jar, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk).
If anybody [maybe kevin, man i loved ur gingerblur theme on cm7 ] from ur forum is interested to port the launcher only (which itself is awsum), i can ask akash to give u the source code. but i doubt it will look gud on 125 pixel density.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133407
@3xeno: galaxy3 has FIMG gpu which is samsung's own gpu and they refused us to give the source of FIMG gpu source saying that its their own property. But it has a better pixel density than wildfire.
And Shiv seen the MIUI rom on my defy which is HDPI.

Im so excited.. I just installed MIUI v4-2.3.2 for Wildfire | Beta1. Awsome.. Camera is not working fine. torch app also now working. Everything else is super.. Can't believe, my phone got ICS...
Hey guys i just curious about what people want from a rom.Devs welcome
in my opinion : im good with 3.0 sense without bloatware i want cyanogen high brightness flashlight (i couldnt find any sense roms got this why? ) and an rom addon to overclock and to change governor(like an app or under settings )
that's my thoughts about a dream rom
i think its very important to participate cuz devs can understand what people want from a rom
Thank you !
And im using virtous unity 2.39
The answers to this post will be as different as what people think the best ROM actually is. The best answer is variety. We need some of each.
For me:
Simple but pleasing transitions. (I like 3D cube in MIUI)
All important apps accessible with as few button clicks as possible.
A decent keyboard. (I'll be reviewing my favorite soon) (I did like the HTC one when I used Sense.)
I'm happy with stock speed.
I'm happy with Camera/video camera app. (MIUI)
Easy to change theme for when I fancy a change.
It must include a file manager.
I prefer not to have Sense. I enjoyed it but prefer not to have it at the moment.
As few as possible included apps. (We can install them separately if necessary.)
As soon as you show it to a female - she gives you her number.
A nice and classic boot animation. No fancy stuff.
I enjoy Sense, both 3.0 and 3.5 so any will do. Classic themes.
Classic sounds. I actually like stock very much, but with tweaks and oc.
Both ARHD and Runny1.4 fullfill this, except Runny's boot screen. Although awesome, it's not what i'm looking for.
A Rom for me must be uncluttered, stable, quick, and customisable. ARHD springs to mind lol.

It really is not gonna matter to be honest. As stated above you will get a different answer from everyone. Also I hate to tell you this but these rims are not built for the user. They are built for the Dev and then he decides to share. For far too long people have forgoten what is done here on XDA. This is not a place to come and get a cool 100%working Rom. These roms will always have beta tags as they are all hacked software to see if the Dev can get it to work and then they share for others to learn. This is not a place to make your phone cool. This is a place where you get a Rom you like and then dig in to help fix any problems that come up. And no that doesn't mean by posting "this doesn't work" it means by digging in and finding the bug with all the tools XDA gives you. With the entry of android I think a lot of people have forgotten why we are here and what this site is about.
Thread closed
So, you just rooted your super awesome Android phone, thanks to Rivera82falcon and his awesome guide? You saw my awesome guide for flashing ROMS, and wanted to try it, but didn't know where to begin? Well, you're in the right place.
Also, don't blame me if your phone explodes into a million pieces and one gets stuck in your eye. Nothing you do is my fault. Well, here we go.
STEP ONE: AOSP or Sense?
You probably know what Sense is, but you might not know what AOSP is. It stands for Android Open Source Project. Basically, you are getting a base of stock gingerbread. Now let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages.
AOSP is far faster than most Sense ROMs, and offers more customization as far as themes and kernels. Keep in mind, you can't just install AOSP and put the sense launcher on it. It won't work. With AOSP, you can get Gingerbread, Froyo, or even Ice Cream Sandwich looks for your phone.
Sense, on the other hand, is usually slower, and sometimes offers limited customization when compared to the Theme engines for AOSP. Sense can feel sluggish sometimes, but can be very fast if the ROM is well built. It is not as streamlined as AOSP. On the other hand, you get all the awesome sense apps, like weather, clock, and calendar.
Personally, I switch back and forth between Sense an AOSP. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
STEP TWO: How Much Is Working?
Many people see an awesome looking ROM and it says ALPHA or BETA, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything to people. They flash it and wonder why their radio doesn't work, or why WiFi won't connect. ALPHA ROMs are ROMs that are in the early testing phase and may have key functions broken or missing. Don't go on a vacation with an ALPHA ROM on your phone. Never flash one if you depend on your phone for your job. A BETA ROM is a ROM that is nearing the end of testing. It may still have broken features, but the core functions such as Radio, Data, WiFi, and SMS are often working. Don't flash this ROM if you are expecting a finished product, you will be disappointed. These ROMs are usually fairly slow as well. A vX.x.x ROM (ex: v1.0.1) is released to the public but probably still has some bugs like Bluetooth, MMS, or some other random issues. This ROM still might not be the fastest, but is still easily able to function. Anybody can flash these ROMs. RLSX (ex: RLS1) ROMs are released and are nearly finished. They may have some small bugs or not be fully optimized, but they are nearly perfect. Final ROMs are complete, and you can expect no further changes, usually.
STEP THREE: What Features/Look Does It Have?
Not all Sense and AOSP ROMs are created equal. Many look very different from each other and have very different features. For example, a Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.5 ROM are very different, and CM7 is very different from PoolParty. Read the entire OP and look at any screenshots provided. Make sure you like the look, so you don't waste time flashing it if you hate the look. That said, there is nothing wrong with flashing a ROM just to try it out.

I agree Collinjames, the new Affinity ROM is very nice, battery life is insanely good, and it's nearly bug free. My softkeys stopped lighting up so I went back to 2HD RLS1.1
What about including custom kernals AOSP and Sense?
Skyraider Zeus rom is worthy of the incredible, Incredible 2. No bugs which is the most important thing, has never crashed ever on me, that is incredibly important. I don't ever actually use sense exept for the great camera, lockscreen, and weather. But this rom is a no brainer really.
It gives you every option you could think of and has no downside.
I wish this nice little article was up when I was wasting my time trying out buggy roms.
I just feel puzzle about which rom to choose at that moment, thanks a lot for your guide.
liquid 3.x is a good aosp rom as well
Thanks for the post, I like how you broke down the advantages of each.. this has proven to be very helpful.
While i agree with you aosp choices..i think everyone should at least try miui...most customizable rom I've ever used...and looks great with go launcher or launcher pro.

Yeah, I tried MIUI for a few days. Although I like how customizable it is with all the themes available I found it too buggy. I kept getting lockups and reboots. I hoped the 11.18 release would have helped but it actually made it worse. Also, the lack of an app drawer was very hard to get used to. I'm still not sure I like that concept. I guess it's too iPhone-ish for me.

ok, so since I'm still learning here, when you flash a ROM does the kernel get changed too? Or is this something you have to flash in addition to the ROM?
yes it will change it to which ever kernel the rom
is supplied with. You can find the custom kernel you wish to use an then just flash it after the rom just make sure it's for aosp or sense which ever you choose to run.

im newbie in here..thats why im asking you guys..
Welcome to the forums as well!
Right now I'm trying out AOKP (Build 5) after coming off of CM 10 (M2). Both AOKP and CM10 are pretty rock solid to me - I've never had any issues with either of them. CM10 have higher benchmark scores than AOKP did, but AOKP (to me) has a much better battery life and allows for far more customization (colors, lock screen, menu, toggles, etc). But even though AOKP doesn't score as high, I don't see any "real" performance hit... if any. I've never really trusted benchmarks on how well my phone will perform... I just like having high numbers to show off ;D
Overall, AOKP is doing wonders for me! Running that along side Air Kernel (with my beloved SmartAssV2 governor).
Here's my advice to you:
- Download a ROM you think you'll like; CM10 for example.
- Go into your custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash it.
- Get it setup the way you want to (ie: Add your apps, settings, kernel, etc)
- Make a Nandroid backup (include boot.img to keep your kernel)
- Wipe everything afterwards and flash another ROM! (like AOKP, Codename, etc)
Just keep doing that until you think you know what ROM you wanna use. Then you can just restore that backup you made and you good to go! ^_^

Rasbeanjelly + trinity kernel...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
-Codename android is close to stock with some of the goodies from AOKP and CM10
-AOKP
-Paranoid android if you like messing around with the DPI
Those were my top 3 roms. Feel free to browse and choose a rom in the dev section.
Good luck!
I like MIUI. I recommend downloading different ROMs and trying them out and seeing which one you like. Some are similar to stock but enhanced functionality others are like HTC Sense or TouchWiz with a very different look and feel.
Try a few out.
I personally like the stock experience. Being with Verizon (Toro), we don't get the latest updates 'til probably around 6 months after. In this case, I use BuglessBeast to get the latest with stock experience. Hope that helps!
Read through some ROM posts before flashing. Bugs can pop up in the best of them. I personally like Codename. Just depends on how much customization you want. I agree with the other posts about trying more than one. After all that's half the fun.
My personal favorite is Bamf + diet kernel. There is no bugs what so ever and it is very stock with the customization features that you want.
Xenon HD +Trinity kernel ftw.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I'm running XenonHD form Oct24th. I have tried others and found this ROM working well for me. I did run the XenonHD from 9/29 prior to that. Apparently when I installed a version after 9/29, that one was not behaving well. So I went back to 9/29 until today.
Just finished the install a couple hours ago.
I find the battery life of the XenonHD rom to be very good (for what I do with the phone).
Surely there are many other great ROM's out there and the best ay to find YOUR Rom is to try a few.
Good luck and have fun with your GNex.

Im only partially familiar with roms and flashing(used to flash optimus V until I upgraded to a phone with no devs working on it XD ), I was fairly familiar with a cyanogenmod port for my op-V and liked that.
Anyways more specifically im not familiar with any of the devs or their products and was wondering which rom will give me the most preformace and lowest battery drain?
or is it too soon in the nexus 7's life to determine this kinda thing?
should I just stick with stock for now?
also if you have any words of advice or such so a new nexus 7, I'd love to here em.
just flash every rom out there and decide which ever is the "best" for you then stay with it .
What exactly do you find wrong with the stock rom? My thoughts on custom roms have always been if it isn't broke don't fix it.

Options and features.... for example Cyanogenmod has a ton of features that the original ROM doesn't have. Also speed sometimes dictates switching roms. Alot of custom roms are striped down and are faster also.

Paranoid Android is fast becoming a personal favorite. Tablet UI is how things ought to be. It's very easy to make a backup image, backup apps, and just start flashing. Now's a good time to start, too, as it's early and the selection is fairly limited. It will only grow from here..

I flashed every ROM that was available, that after I backed-up my original stock ROM. It's the only way you'll find which one you like the most. My 2 best options are ParanoidAndroid 3 and CyanogenMod Kangs, but I love the stability and speed of latter. It's all about preferences, just read a lot of comments of what users say and that also can help you.
Update: I love too much the custom ROMS, the customizing and the utilities they add are just fantastic. That's why I never stay with a stock ROM.
CleanROM if you just want a basic ROM like stock without all the bloatware.
ParanoidAndroid if you want a ton of features to play around with. Some are buggy at the moment and performance won't be as good as it would be with CleanROM but I think it's worth it for the features.
