I know, I know there is probably a thread out there already. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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?

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.

Best rom for Galaxy Nexus?

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
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
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

AOKP and Morfic Trinity kernel... I've been testing alot of kernel and trinity is by far the smoothest and as amazing battery life! And for those who use quadrant as reference ; I average 3700 on ondemand

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.

Help me pick best rom ;/

This might have been posted couple times sorry if it was but I need some help from you guys.
My issue:
AOKP - after sometime it just gets slow but awesome battery
Android Revolution - RUNS PERFECT! with Franco Kernel or stock does not matter
however issue is : battery dies to fast...
BAMF - after sometime roms becomes slow same as AOKP
MIUI - well the last version I tried was way to slow...
back in the day when I had GS2 the goal was to go from GB to ICS now I really dont know which rom to choose -_-
help apperciated thanks guys
roms dont really become slow over time
most likely you're installing too much crap with invisible background services. Do a wipe and install only the stuff you actually use, and research carefully before installing new stuff.
Liquid 1.35. Smooth, snappy and awesome battery life

Actually I have exact same setup with Android HD and its not getting slow at all , same amount of apps I mean everything is the same minus the AOKP custom settings any other way to improve battery with franco on Android HD?
You could try gummy. That's what I'm using it's quick and good battery.
This is the best. After trying many.

I can speak for AOKP as a great rom stable / great features / power saver / nice performance..
As for liquid.. I was about to try it but meh they wont support spanish

+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

[Q] Rom with great battery

Hi all I'm still very new to this whole rooting stuff.
I'm using aokp build 38 this is the 1st Rom I've used
And lately I'm having a much better battery life than stock. But I just want to ask if there's a much better Rom out there that has great performance and battery.
Also could you name the Roms and what are so good about them?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Everyone has a different opinion on this. There is no one rom that gives each phone good battery. Your best bet is to just try them out yourself.
Oh okay. Thanks what would you recommend?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I personally like liquid smooth ROM and Airkernel
I'd recommend the redemption Rom.
The Dev claims that he is only fixing errors created by Google.
Ans he's right. 2 hours screen time v 4 hours is the way to go.
It's also notably faster and doesn't randomly reboot to often.
He does a video changelog for his rom. Which I believe is a characteristic of a dev who is proud of his work.
But whatever you use. Use it for at least a week.
Would be good to also mention what phone model. Gsm,Verizon,sprint.
With these kind of threads, you might as well just ask what everyone's favorite ROM is or what ROM they're currently using. You'll only rarely get a different answer, and there are already threads for all three subjects to begin with.
Guy above me has a point.
But, AOKP B39 and Franco M4 works wonders for me.

Other than possibly in benchmarks, where's the performance difference between AOKP and CM9? I've tried both and currently run AOKP and I didn't notice any difference it performance between the two.
MCR from Paul Obrien over at Modaco. Together with the Franco kernel. Great performance and battery-life

A Couple Questions From A New GNexus Owner

Hey Guys! Coming here from my SGS II actually haha. I just like the feel of this phone better!
So I had a few questions to start off with.
This one is solely based on whoever may be reading this's opinion. Which kernel do you feel atm gives you a fair balance of smooth performance and good battery life (and hopefully no heat issues).
The second question is kind of two questions. Does the Toroplus get CM10 nightly's yet? It seems that theres alot of kang's with cherry picks which i guess are coming from toro? And does anyone know if pete plans to give us toroplus users some JB bugless-beast awesomeness?
Thanks for taking the time to read
I'm trying aokp atm and it runs smoothly!

I'm using MinCo which is optimized for Franco Kernel. And obviously Franco Kernel. So far smoothest and most stable ROM I have used.

Hey guys! I sure do appreciate the responses! This seems like a super nice group of people here . If anyone has any other suggestions ill take em and thanks again!! :laugh:
Is customization what you want? Or just smooth and stable rom?
If customization, I would recommend poking around sprint Gnex dev forum. A lot of good and customizable roms there!
If smooth and stable, just stock. Really. Jelly bean is only android version that I wouldn't be disappointed even with Stock rom and kernel.
Overall, I would recommend d you to use stock for awhile and then if you're not happy with it, try popular custom roms.
Have a nice day and welcome!
