Just got my Nexus (GSM) and there are so many ROMS to choose from!! Anyone have any favorites that I can try? I came from HTC Desire using Richard Trip's Villain ROM.
AOKP is the one with most tweaks, tho many say its kinda laggy, im using it and no lag for me
I've tried them all so far and my 2 favorite are ARHD and AOKP.
Try with these 2 first, aokp for 4.0.3 and arhd for 4.0.2.

He seems to update that ROM every week! I will grab build 28 - that one seems to be the latest. What is the difference between Milestone 4 and a build?
I couldn't stand AOKP! too much customization! hahaha. I'm on codename android
I would have to go with official AOKP all the way! I've got it on both my phones

I didn't like AOKP. Ran slow and ate my battery.
Gummy worked awesome regarding battery life. But Axi0m Hybrid is super fast.
Axi0m is a mix of AOKP and 4.0.4

Bugless Beast is the best IMO if you aren't looking for a bunch of mods. Its rock solid stable, has toggles in the status bar and gives great battery life. Run it with trinity kernel though, best experience I've had so far.

Is Bugless Beast a nightly build? I'm not keen on having to update it every week you see
Liquidsmooth rom + trinity or lean kernel = awesome!!!!

It says nightly, but he releases new builds every week or more, but no need to always upgrade, I just flashed the March 16th build and I don't see any reason to upgrade unless he adds some crazy new features, because it's really great right now.
All roms are updated nearly every week or 2, you don't have to upgrade though, if you want a ROM that has no development then go with one of those roms that hasn't been updated for a month or 2.

What rom do you currently have on your galaxy nexus?
just got a nexus and has kang rom on it. i want to know what the best rom is
battery life and such things.
THANKS BROS
AOKP and lean kernel. Fastest and best battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
AOKP and some kernel. I personally use Franco Kernel but look around and see what you like the most.
where can i find this rom? thanks for quick replies
Check the Dev section.
Goodluck!
Now with AOKP, use to be Slim. Both of them are great.
right now i think AOKP is the best. i used the official CM9 nightlies and there were pretty awesome, but still needs some features that i really need
Official CM9 Nightlies, Franco kernel.
Faster than the speed of light.

I'm using codename and just recently switched to francos 18.4 and now 18.6 kernel. I have zero complaints, the only thing I haven't gotten to work is Google plus hangout video chat but I haven't updated to the latest gapps yet. I bet I will try akop one day since it is so popular (maybe at milestone 4) but I have no reason to. Codename is killer smooth.

I was running ARHD but switched to the most recent CM9 nightly earlier this morning. CM9 is faaaaassst and so far no issues. Oh and I'm using the stock CM9 kernel.

When people say you have to try every from and find one for you, that's completely untrue for the galaxy nexus, once you try AOKP you won't change at least until MIUI is official for me

Definitely liking AOKP Milestone 3. Plenty stable for me, and adds some nice features not included with the stock ROM. Paired with GladOS 1.15 kernel. Butter smooth, ~3+ hours screen on time with the stock GSM battery.
apparently aokp is the boss rom
AOKP and lean kernel+ leantweaks

Why is everyone who uses AOKP suggests other kernel? Is the kernel that comes with AOKP not good enough?

I personally got best battery life and smoothness using lean kernel after testing every other kernel. Different results for different people I guess so you'll have to try kernels out yourself and see what you find best

I've just switched to the Glados Kernel found on RootzWiki with AOKP, and it's the best combination I've tried so far I think.
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 ;-)

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

+1 on that
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Why don´t you try both when you got your Gnex and see which one you like better?
btw, i would recommend Slim ICS (3.7) which has almost all the features of AOKP but is way faster.
There are a lot of nice Roms there, so just give them a try. No need to think about it when u haven´t got your phone yet
I have just bought my new GN and i can tell you for sure that you have to try every rom for yourself. I mean, I tried stock one (4.0.4), AOKP Milestone 5 and Foxhound 0.5. For example, I was not satisfied with battery usage of AOKP: in fact, I tried Foxhound and I am really satisfied. So, try whatever you want, it's free-of-charge man!
AOKP have one big problem - data and net drop.... Liquid hazen`t this problem....

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
I must say AOKP. Been using it on and off since build 28 and it's the most feature-complete ROM I have ever seen.
I'm considering either PARANOIDANDROID when the next jawdropping release hits XDA or Cyanogenmod 9. I tried Liquidsmooth, but since it reminded me so much of AOKP, I chose to stay with AOKP.
thanks everyone for their opinions it means a lot

I'm just curious of what ROM you guys are using as a daily driver for your galaxy nexus
I personally use Black Jelly Bean (based on aokp) because I love the true black theme and the inverted gapps
Also I find it one of the most stable ROM out there and battery is pretty solid too!
I wanna here from you guys!

I have been on paranoid android and I like it so far. Forget which kernel I am running. Under about phone it just says unavailable lol. Good battery life so far. Smooth too. tried aokp, bamf and code name android.
Been looking to switch it up though... anyone have a suggestion for a ROM/kernel combo that has a decent amount of features and customization without sacrificing battery??

Liquid/trinity. Auto sync mobile data and auto brightness on the whole time and I just did 21 hours with 4½ display, will add screenshots from laptop in morning.
I wanted a change so I'm now trying rasbean jelly with trinity kernel. As long as battery holds up the same I'll probably stick with this for a few weeks.

Like the title says, this isn't about what's "best". It's just to try to get an idea of metrics. As far as I know there's no one tracking how popular any given ROM is, and this won't go a long way to help, but I'm curious.
Please don't check "Yes this is a question" for polls in General. Qs go in Q&A. Edited title.

It seems like all of the 4.2.1 ROMs are still experiencing issues. Is that even true of vanilla AOSP?
right now liquidsmooth with air kernel, but that's bound to change as i can't leave my phone the way it is anymore.
