Hey everyone,
I've been running AOKP + franco's kernel for quite some time now, and it is pretty amazing if I do say so myself . I wanted some change though, and I was wondering in what other GSM ROM have you guys had the best experience in?
there are multiple threads with this discussion, use the search feature please.
the best experience is simply... already what you're using, but if you really want change.. probably bigxie is what you want.

Hi, Community
Guys, I new in the world android, but i decided to buy my firts android and is a Samsung Galaxy Gio.... a friend told me that these phones can be overlock the proccesor and much more.
but needed a rom mod to make all these things with a stock rom will not let me, here's my question which of all these roms are the most stable mod to work well as stock? and please tell me what are the bugs of all those roms mod if you have any?
Thanks guys for help me in the world android
For me the Particle ROM as I do not like custom launchers. I'm really satisfied with TouchWiz.
There is a small issue with Wifi though, it disconnects every once in a while.
Aside from that, stability, performance and battery life is very impressive.
hey there,
I use Particle Rom....impressive battery performance etc...
I also use a custom launcher with it called GOlauncher EX - I love it.
hey there
I've been using CyanogenMod 7.1 RC3 since a while, and for me it works perfectly.
However,I'm not totallly satisfied withthe battery lifetime, except that, it works awesome, I've been able tooverclock it to 883 Mhz.
And if you are satisfied with the TouchWiz UI, you can find a tutorial in CyanogenMod 1.st post, posted by me, it shows you how to put TouchWiz UI on CyanogenMod.
I hope I could help, however if youstill have any questions, PM me anytime I'm usually checking XDA.
I'm using GioPro 1.4 for 1 week almost and i have nothing bad to say about it, except the battery life ... can't get more then 24hours, but i'm playing 2-3 hours and wifi its always on. but it works like a charm. + I use GoLauncher ex and DT app2sd . i have arround 40 apps installed and 178mb free of phone memory
Using a CM 7.1 RC2 modded a few by me. faster and more stable of rc3.
Anyone had score in quadrant like 1800 apart from using CM 7.1 RC2?
Im using gio pro 1.4.& not many bug in this rom.simple & stable

There is no "best rom", what can be best for me...probably cannot be the best for you. So, this can be a redundant thread since everyone can have a different opinion. The best way to do it..try every rom..and the one you feel it fills your daily needs..that's the one
On that note, thread closed.
Hey guys, sorry if this seems trivial, I feel bad for asking this after watching such an epic registration video (which by the way is better than reading all that stupid text and actually kept me interested).
I was deciding whether I should use Android Revolution HD or Codename Android for my phone, or if you think theres some other godly ROM I should be using. I'm trying to keep the phone as stock as possible while getting the tweaks to make the phone amazing.
Thanks~
Its all personal preference and all these devs do great work. Code name android was my go to for the past couple of days, switched over to the latest eclipse with Franco nightly kernel and I don't think I'll be switching back.

Stay stock, get a custom launcher and custom kernel is another route. I am stock imm76i, nova launcher prime and ogdobber's 3.1 kernel that allows uv's. I am a battery mizer so if you want some performance find another kernel.
bow chicka wow wow.
So, I'm messing around with different (AOSP) Rom's and the possible Kernel's.
While one the GNex, I constantly switched between Faux123 and Franco's one.
Which one do you use and prefer ?
Please explain to me (and oters ) why you chose that one.
I will try to keep the first post Updated to give the different aspects of each
Please keep the discussion focused and only give objective opinions.
I use Franco r10. for reason, feaux results permanent reboots when used Domination mod on my hox
Hi,
I just got a nexus yesterday and have a couple questions. I had CM9 on my Galaxy S before i had this so I thought i was familiar with ICS. But I am finding that a lot of the "settings" I loved on CM9 are not available on my new nexus. Such as unlock screen options, notification toggles, ability to remove the persistent search bar, display battery percentage, wifi hotspot, change # of screeens. Is it possible to get those settings back without installing a new ROM or getting individual apps for each item?
And if I need to install a ROM which ones are good (there seems to be a ton of them)? I would be putting this on my wifes phone also, so I would need a ROM that has practically zero bugs. What about the JellyBean ROMs, how are they? Should i wait and see how the official JellyBean firmware looks?
I know i can read a hundred threads about the ROMs, and I will, but my brain is swimming with info right now and I'm hoping you guys -n- gals can help to get me on the right path. Please give me your opinions if you have a minute.
thanks in advance,
For Jelly Bean it's too early. A lot of the tweaks you're used to from CM9 are not yet available in the ROMs I think, at least not the one I'm using right now (bigxie)... If you need those you'll have to wait for CM10 or for the next AOKP, or find the mods you want and flash them manually, but the risk of something going wrong is higher naturally.
If you don't mind staying with ICS for the moment, I can recommend the AOKP Milestone releases. All the tweaks you've mentioned are in there plus the milestones are super-stable! Prior to JB I was running AOKP M5 and it's great!
I'd also recommend to install Franco's kernel (and buy his app on the market to tweak it even more ) as I find that power consumption is a lot better with his kernel. Of course as usual if you need stability, use the stable releases instead of the nightlies.
Hope this helps
I agree with Gunthy, if you want the bells and whistles, go with AOKP and stick with ICS for a bit. JB has some nice new little tweaks, but you its nothing you cant live without. Besides franco's kernel, I really like imoseyon's leankernel.. i find i get the best battery life with it. I don't think its on XDA so you might have to google it and find it on another forum
hello everyone..im just a new gnex user here..i want to ask whats the best rom for you guys?

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! ^_^

-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.

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.
