[Q] Stock vs Custom Rom ... Performance & Battery - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey fellas. Coming from an HTC Sensation with InsertCoin Rom, and the thing flew, and battery life was pretty decent....
Really excited to get my hands on the Nexus... just got a question for you guys who have the experience... I would love to enjoy ICS to its full potential.. however... do I need to flash a custom ROM to take advantage of that? Or is it great out of the box, performance & battery wise?
If you are on a custom ROM, which one do you recommend?
Thanks so much.

I've been enjoying it out of the box. Everything seems very smooth and quick. Great setup.
Haven't even rooted the device yet. Will probably in the next few days.
Hope that helps!

Just Rooted & Booted lol My DHD

Any recommendations for a ROM ? there are so many out there dunno where to start I need good batterylife and CM7 based ROMs are a big NO NO...
Thanks in advanced
arhd 6.1.5
hi m8, using arhd 6.1.5 with no probs, battery life is a big ask as depends on what you are running during the day ie bluetooth, gps, wifi etc, as battery life is different for each user.

Thanks guys I will have a look at screen shots of both ROM's although battery life is a big issue for me so is stability and customization.
Try Galnet MIUI stable. They have an awesome performance and a great battery life (currently running at 1-4 mA in idle.)
If you don't like the iphone-ish UI, try another launcher like Launcher Pro.
I do what i want, because I can.
MIUI is based on CM7, iv'e played with a friends DHD who has CM7 installed its just too bland and stock... Sense is way superior IMO and the Sense camera is 100x better than the CM7 offering + iv'e seen screens of MIUI (looks like iOS lol) Definatly dont want that. BUT Thanks anyway dude.
Virtuous affinity is a fantastic Rom mate I was using the unity series but the guys that worked on this have excelled themselves ! So smooth lots of features its great! I love my phone all over again

I know that this isn't a ROM recommendation but iff you want good battery life checkout the accessories section of the forum and look at the evo 3d/sensation battery MOD
ATM I try the new SmartDroid Rom and I'm absolute happy with it. Battery life is great and it's very smooth.

Another useless post.....i remember answering Q's like this many times before as well. Why pppl do not use search?? (i hope a mod steps in here anyway )
There is no such thing called a perfect ROM. What suits my necessities best does not mean that it lives up to your expectation. The battery n stuffs like this are related to how one uses his/her phone, not on the ROM itself (well a little, maybe).
That being said, try one by one yrself n find out one that suits you based.
Too many threads like this. Its down to personal preference and these threads can start into flaming wars/ trolling. Thread closed.

Best ROM?... You decide which is best for you... err your friend... Go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318 to see them listed.
Enjoy!
Tell us a bit about what kind of experience does your friend need?
Speed? Customization? Stability?
he has the stock rom on his phone... i think he wants a full fixed rom with more smooth and speed than stock! thanks!
ps. what's the way to flash rom on this phone? =)
Well, everything is better than stock, believe me! It's a matter of choice, but more ppl prefer Cyanogen, because it's a who organisation of developers and many hours of hard work behind it, it sure is pretty complete. I'd suggest taht, but he shoudl check out all of the available roms, as danny said, it's a matter of choice.
First of all, you have to decide if you want Sence rom or something else.
The best sence rom is probably RemPuzzleRom, its faster, but it looks nearly the same as stock.
other good option is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458749 i've tried it and it is really fast and stable, looks like vanilla android 2.3.7, there is also stock android launcher.
Cyanogen is also really great rom. Fast, stable and customization is the best.
If you want something on the edge. I'm using CM9 right now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473344 I thing it is pretty usable, but there might be still some bugs.

[Q] What is the best Jellybean ROM? Your opinions plz....

Hello! This question has probably been asked, but I put the title in and it didn't come up in similar threads.....
I just got my SGS3 a couple of weeks ago and I love it so far. I am currently looking for a nice deodexed, debloated Jellybean ROM. I am looking for one that has great battery life, sleek features and preferably everything in working condition with no bugs. Which is the best? Which are you currently using? I ask your opinions please w/ supporting statements as to why you love your ROM. Thanks ahead of time for the answers!

I'm running that Rom as well but I found a lil fault in it. It shows graphics trails on certain apps and almost does a flicker on the swype pad when texting.

Stock or other custom rom

Hi, i just wanted to ask if you guys think if stock or custom roms are better because i dont want to take an hour to format my n7 to answer a simple question So what do you think is the fastest for games (heavy 3d ones) and performance wise? stock or other custom roms. I dont really care for other features, i care for mostly the performance. Thanks and happy easter!

Hi and happy easter too !
Generally customs are not faster than the Google stock. But with customs kernels/ROMs, OverClocking and OverVolting is possible, so you can have better performance.
I'm actually using CM11 Nightlies with the latest ElementalX Kernel. I love CM and other innovative and fiddled customs, because they open a lot of possibilities, like theme or other exclusive features. Personally, i'm not a fan of OC and OV, it reduce battery life, and hardware life because of overheating.
Maybe my choices are not the better one, but it's my choices.
For my part, CM ROMs have in general i've seen a better battery performance than stocks, because they're decrapified.
that's all ;p
If you're looking for the best performance I would suggest Clean ROM latest version with either Elemental X kernel or Glitch kernel. Your N7 will be smoking fast!

Thanks for your answers :victory: I think im going to stick with CleanRom+elementalx :good:

(Q) Help to find the most stable rom

Dear Arc s users,
I had this great phone for 2 years and i did the installation of some roms to try which is the best rom for performance and i remember that the 4.4.4 roms are the best.
Now i have bought an htc one m7 and after 3 months that my Arc s was inutilized, i decided to give it to my sister.
I did the flash of slim rom and the first impression was GREAT! Good performance and stability. But my sister says that the video are not working (YouTube and Facebook) and the app on sd are not working.
I know that there isn't the perfect rom, But i just would like to know what is, at the moment, the stable rom for our phone.
It does not matter if it is gb, jb or kk (my sister doesn't know the difference). I just need a Good rom.
Please could You help me to find the Good one?
Thank you so much and sorry if i do this question, But i love this phone and i would like to see it in use instead to see it on my desktop.
Thank you again.
All Custom Rom is the best , Just try and see what is the best for you

flash the Legacy Xperia ROM build 06/09/14 its nearly bugless, very good for daily use. no battery drains, all important stuff works. (incl. video).
your sis will have fun.
Thanks!
I'm using Carbon and its so smooth and no lag....
i am not saying that this is the best because all the custom rom
can improve your phone
