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.

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

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.

Hello, im thinking about flashing a new rom on my phone but just wanted to get some input on which is the fastest / stable rom for galaxy nexus LTE version.. any input would be great thanks
I'm using the latest ARHD and love it. I haven't tried anything else so can't compare but I have no reason to flash anything different considering this is pretty perfect.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I'm running GummyNex 0.2.9. It has great support (updated every night that I've been running it so far) and includes a few minor tweaks that add to the experience. Probably my favorite thing about it is that it includes an OC/UV kernel (that is kept updated, as well), so it makes installation of everything even easier.
I'm running zygotes 1.9 . Tried gummynex and arhd both excellent roms as well. Bench marked highest with zygotes so I am sticking with this for now. If you want stability #1 I'd say arhd.

Which ROM is has great battery life and is the most stable/fast. I do like mods too and stuff I just don't know which to flash to get the SMOOTHEST and fastest experience plus better battery life. I'm on a 4.0.2 right now I should probably go to a 4.0.3?
Sent from this GN on 4GLTE!
Personally, I'd go with ARHD. I've used it on my Transformer, and once I finally get around to flashing my device, that'll be the first (and most likely) only rom I put on it. Mike does a great job with his ROM's, and I haven't found one (especially on my Transformer) that I like more.
That's just my opinion. As usual, YMMV, but it's what I'd use.

can't go wrong with Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast 4.0.3. His roms are always stable, he has a lot of experience. His roms are also on Rom Manager, which makes it easy too. He also has 4.0.2 & 4.0.1 builds

The best IMO is Zygot3 v2.0 its really smooth and great on battery life. 2nd runner up is Android Revolution HD v2.1.2. I chose Zygot3 because battery, life the T9 dialer, notification toggles, advanced power menu and modded launcher that has a settings button.
I was using RootzBoat v4 from and it was great. I got the urge and flashed a CM9 kang.
IMO the CM9 kang is iffy. Works well but getting issues where apps just randomly close. Maybe a memory issue. It comes with notification toggles and the CM9 T9 dialer which is sweet.
Rootzboat was pretty smooth. I have a backup of it. I had a battery percentage mod and CM9 T9 Dialer. No notification toggles though.
Widgetsoid toggles are flaky. They work better in CM9.
Honestly just backup your current from and start going hog wild. Almost all rooms work with 100% functionality except MIUI. Some are just more stable then others.

I installed Android Revolution HD yesterday and I'm liking it, I'm noticing a bit less lag when scrolling between screens than I was on stock. I'm also seeing a little better battery life, I'm guessing 10-12 hours, where I was seeing 5-8 hours before. This ROM is worth checking out as there aren't a ton of options at the moment. This should hold me over until CM9!

honestly i think your rom will be the best and most awesome rom ever. Head over here to build it.
I have used ARHD and was very happy with it. I just switched to the Gummy ROM this afternoon and I like it as well.
The problem is no one has enough info from you. Different ROMs have different features. Because of this, "best" is largely opinionated. Read through the [ROM] threads in the development section. Try and get a feel for what features you want then ask around for which one people like the most.
My experience:
ARHD: Pretty much 4.0.2 stock. No visual changes, just performance enhancements. Nice and smooth ROM
Gummy: based on leaked 4.0.3 with major enhancements. Toggles in the drop down menu. Ability to over clock and under volt. I have not ran it very long, but so far really like it.
Hope this helps.

I was on ARHD 2.1.2 for a little while. It ran much better than stock. Then I tried bigxie's ROM and it felt much smoother than ARHD. I'm currently using it with Franco's kernel. While benchmarks don't really tell the whole story, bigxie's ROM with Franco's kernel is quite fast. I get over 3000 on Quandrant (vs 2200 stock, although I think it's an optimization issue) and over 6300 on Antutu (vs. 6000). I like it b/c it looks stock, but adds a few conveniences, like having the power widget in the dropdown notification menu for easy toggling.
From the research I have done AOKP seems to be a winner...I have no experience with it as Im waiting for the price on the gnex to come down before I pull the trigger. But its a very popular among the members I know who have switched to the gnex.
I've always know what AOSP is but what is AOKP. I hear that alot.

Score one for the fellow Fascinate owner! If he can find one of the best ROMs available on the Gnex without even having one, the answer should be even more obvious to Gnex owners. I use the Toro version of AOKP myself and can confirm droidstyle's conclusion
Terminators run on Android
AOKP is simply the best one
Try the Milestone 2, its great!

It's tough to say what is the 'best ROM' as different users want different things from a ROM, but personally, I really rate Bigxie and AOKP.
They are the only two ROMs I'd recommend for GSM Nexus.

Good afternoon, everyone. I've been an XDA member for a while but today switched from another phone to the VZW GNex. I'm looking forward to putting this gorgeous device to the test to see what it can do and eventually try some of the killer ROMs our talented devs have built.
Welcome! You will find many knowledgeable and courteous members here with some even willing to help fix problems and issues. Hopefully you enjoy your time here and your fantastic choice in phones.
Welcome, jellybean is the way you want to go for the ROMs. ICS is as far as I am concerned outdated. Vicious, xenon HD, and aokp are great starters and I would reccomend faux kernel for the fastest and most stable kernel
I just got my Gnex yesterday and I already love it compared to my gs2. But I've noticed a lot of threads and posts on people that just got it in the last few days, crazy.

Hey there, you flash kernels the same way you flash ROMS. Just get a .zip and install it through recovery.
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

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!

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has thoroughly tested both Cyanogenmod 10 and AOKP with Jelly Bean. If you have, what are the performance differences, as well as the default theming, and most importantly, battery life. I'm currently on Bugless Beast which has no modifications, so I'm not really interested in which has more features, because I'm sure they're both full of them. Currently I get around 2 hours of screen on time (CDMA Nexus), which I consider good, so If you've experienced more than that on either of these roms, please let me know. I plan on switching to one of them when I receive some good reviews. Thanks

1) Make a backup of your current ROM
2) Flash either AOKP or CM10
3) Try said ROM out for ~1 week
4) Make backup of that ROM
5) Flash next ROM and try it out
*** NO ONE can tell YOU what ROM is going to run best on YOUR phone. You use your phone different then other people and their experience may not be the same as yours***
This is not meant to be rude, but just the dead honest truth.
Seriously, if you're not into customizing, stock. Stock ROM, stock kernel, just stock. Unless you have Verizon since there's no JB update I don't think
If you really want either of them, here's my "short comparison"
AOKP: AOKP is probably one of the most customizable ROM out there. It has all the settings that I personally care for and use a lot. On top of that, faux kernel helps this ROM run like a boss! Not a smoothest ROM though to be honest. Also not all the features from ICS is in JB yet, so keep that in mind.
CM10: This also has a lot of customization, but not as customizable as AOKP. (That's only by few features though). CM is known for how stable it is. I personally had no issue with CM when running it on my GSM phone. However, there isn't stable version yet.

Yeah, but CM is a bit more stable in my taste. But nothing to write a book about AOKP is very stable, like you said.
You can't judge a rom if it isn't labeled as "stable" by the dev.
I am using AOKP since the
early ICS builds and i am using their JB versions now. They have tons of customization (and much more to come) and although they are considered nightlies (actually they are weeklies or so ) they are pretty stable and fast.
I have always used franco kernel with it and it is just great.
I currently use AOKP build 4 with franco r281, a black wallpaper, black theme and auto brightness. I get 4 hours of on screen time using the extended 2000mah battery. Besides the on screen time the rom is very battery friendly, with no random wakelocks.
