[Q] What is your favorite Rom and kernel?

So I havent loaded a custom rom since the droid x and the CDMA nexus is my next baby.
I am just now getting interested in the roms again, but kernels are a little new to me... since i came from the droid x, you know.
I was gonna wait for CM9 to come, but im gonna jump ship before, so whats your favorite?

GummyNex is mine, it really comes to down to preference. I've used most of the roms on here and rootzwiki. You have some great options out there. Each rom is gonna offer you some good customization options. As for kernels I like the lean kernel or franco kernel.

cool thanks!! im not sure about how the kernels work and i just saw a ton more of roms on rootzwiki. I am thinking liquid or codename android.
Do you think i should try out different kernels and is there a method to installing them?
Wipe data/ cache, fresh after rom install or before... etc
Also, When i do wipe data cache, am i losing everything i downloaded? I did that and i feel like i erased everything...

Im using aokp 19 with Morfic trinity inferno kernel and it's been great. Lots of customization options, quick, smooth, solid battery life.

AOKP and Franco for me!

AOKP and Franco have worked wonders for me. I'm getting stellar battery life and wonderful speeds.

Another vote for aokp and franco here.

AOKP + Franco = Smooth performance and Great Battery life. Both have great devs who are constantly working to better their work.

Personal build from aosp + trinity inferno512

recommended rom and kernel

hello everyone tomorrow ill be leaving my htc desire as my main phone and getting a galaxy nexus, after i unlock the boot loader and root the phone, and messed around with it, i will most likely flash a custom rom and kernel, the only thing is im not sure which rom to use untill cm9, any recommendations?
thanks

I'm using gummy and love it. Stable, fast, good battery life, lots of options for customizing. Can't say enough good things about it. Let us know what u go with.

I'm using AOKP with Franco's kernel. Great customization, speed, and stability on both fronts.

I was running CM9 kang until today with trinity kernel from morfic. Batter life was great but I couldn't help myself I had to try the 4.0.4 build. so far so far good but I'm missing some of the customization options from cm9.

I highly HIGHLY recommend using Codename Android. The kernel isn't so much important on this phone as it is with other ones. Codename android comes with its own custom kernel and it works great. Its a great ROM.

+1 I agree with you

AOKP M3 + Franco Kernel. There's a reason that this is the most common setup.

This. Throw in the 4.0.4 radios, and you've got a great combination IMHO.

Kernel not important on the GN? I highly disagree with you. The benefits from using a alternative kernel is endless especially when looking at Franco Kernel.
AOKP + Franco for me.

I know, I know there is probably a thread out there already.

Just traded my razr maxx for a cdma nexus. Obviously I know I'm going to notice a huge difference in battery life. So my question is what rom/kernel combos are providing the best results in battery life, speed, and stability. Feel free to bash me, but, please leave me your opinion ;-)

If your title states there is already a thread... why are you making another one?

Because I cant find the thread im looking for. Xda search sucks.

i like
aokp comes with faux123. its ****in sweet.
i always go back to imoseyons lean kernel
favorite rom is aokp.
oh check your pms

I'm on Liquid ROM 1.25 it's smooth and lasts whole day for me with about 40% left when I go to bed.
Hope this helps.

Liquid with stock kernel?

Why did you trade your max for a Nexus? I have an offer that's why I'm asking.
Development?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

CM9 + GLaDOS 1.28 ... CM9 is super stable with lots of features and it has none of the other bloat and bugs found in other roms out there (i've tried them all crack flashing and always come back to CM9) GLaDOS is simply the best kernel out there right now especially with EzeKeel's new Wheatly governor and vibration control ... best performance, batter life and stability ... if you don't know now you know

aokp b31 with franco r121, near 5 hour screen time and got me through full day too, with 14 left.
nothing surpasses franco kernel, and the best rom with most customizations is aokp. if u wanna go lite, try slimics with franco, also beast

Maxx is great but nexus has development. Ill miss the maxx battery life though. 6 1/2 hours of screen on time yesterday

Ive been running...
AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone build and franco kernel Nightly #378 (Full Version for all features). Then a little tweaking and modding and your phone will be a beast!! Haven't flashed a new rom in almost two months that's how sturdy and bugless this rom is.

Brand New To GNexus...Best ROM/Kernel Combo?

I was looking at the CM9 Nightly with Trinity kernel or stock IMM76I with Trinity kernel (if it works together...waiting for a reply).
I literally haven't used the phone yet besides speed test and then rooting/unlocking/custom recovery so....just curious to hear opinions

Aokp rom and James bond 3.1 kernel. They will give you stability, performance and fantastic battery life.

I had read that AOKP is extremely buggy still....
I know even on the Kindle Fire it is as well.

Imnuts butternutz. Seriously. Lacks customization. But its smoothest I've come across

Not buggy at all

BAMF hands down with its stock kernal

We need a rule for 'best rom/kernel' posts. There is no such thing and there never will be.
Literally like asking, "whose the best comedian?" or "What's the best type of fruit?"
Its all subjective. Just read the description of each rom/kernel and determine which one is the best for your personal needs.
It's pretty to switch up rom/kernel combinations, especially when you first get your phone.

Try GummyNex and Franco kernel.
Also, I highly recommend you stay away from AOKP. Alot of the posts about "this phones laggy etc etc" keep coming from people who are running AOKP. Just avoid it, maybe dab in it.
CM9 is pretty good for me too with franco.

I think the best is liquid smooth and franco

Have you thought about paranoid android? I run it with james bond kernal.. its built upon cm9.. hacked nova/market.. its a tablet hybrid. That means it gives you the function of a tablet while still maintaining the aesthetics of a phone.. its really a great rom. Its in its early stages but is still one of a kind. Check it out in either the cdma or GSM section..
I posted a screen shot of it.

I use franco kernel with stock rom

Stock ftw.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.

You should try black ice with lean kernel - great battery life, nice theme and smooth. I personally had random reboots with liquidsmooth and aokp but otherwise they were great roms.

I ran stock with Trinity kernel for a few hours then flashed Liquid 1.35 with Trinity and have been using it since. Really smooth and fast. Battery seems good thus far. Really enjoying it.
Coming from N1 as a ROM whore, so to speak, I'm sure I'll end up trying every which one.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hey redrum! Nice seeing you here!
I'm not much for changing ROMs on this phone yet since I don't feel there aren't many worth using. I'd like something more reliable than a nightly. I think you remember I did say many times I am no fan of nightlies when I had the N1
The best combo I've tried so far is either LiquidSmooth plus Leankernel or CM9 + franco (or stock cm) kernel. I don't think AOKP is all that fast.
Right now, though, I run stock everything besides CWM. Still unlocked bootloader and rooted, though. Gosh, I miss 4EXT recovery

Ive had mine for a month now and have been running cm 9 the whole time......mainly used franco....which was great...tried glados which didnt like my phone much.....switched to trinity recently....clear winner is trinity...for me. Easily the best performer.....and battery life has been better so far

Best ROM/Kernel combos
ROMS: AOKP & GummyNex
Kernels: Lean Kernel & Franco Kernels
Silky smooth Buttery Blazin' Fastness
Tons of customization

Hey, good to see you here as well!
Yeah, so far I'm highly enjoying Liquid with Trinity. I was going to run stock with Trinity but I just couldn't resist lol.
I'm hoping Max brings 4EXT Touch to the GNexus as well. I posted in his thread in the N1 section. Would love that recovery here.

Best kernel for my stock rom

I have the latest 4.0.4 update from vzw. I flashed it along with the radio. I was just wondering a sweet kernel that will improve the experience. Thought? Tips? Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

should try franco kernel with stock. Gave me around 3-4h screen on and didn't drain battery life when the phone was in sleep.

CMPlus

+1 for Franco. I get 4.5-5.5 hours of screen on time on a daily basis.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP+Franco

Try Franco.Kernel
I'm getting 4:30 to 5 hrs screen-on time with Franco Kernel Milestone 4
It's the best

Imoseyon's lean kernel on rootzwiki has been the best for me. I set it to interactivex, for best performance and battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Pretty subjective topic. You can really use any kernel with similar results.

I flashes Franco but got the whole music not playing bug so I'm using the imoseyon or whatever that is..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I vote for Franco's kernel also.
I also recommend downloading his app from Play, as it supports his efforts and makes flashing the nightly builds easier than it already is.

I've never seen that in the thread.

Franco kernel or GLaDOS kernel.

Trinity Kernel has been my favorite so far.
