This isn't really a question, but a discussion of what ROM you are using and why, that''s why I don't think this should be in the Q&A section.
I've tried a few ROMs, from LiquidSmooth to AOKP and I've tried a few kernels as well, from Glados to Franco and I've made up my mind.
I think AOKP is the best ROM right, and Milestone 5 being the best build of AOKP. It has a good battery life, awesome performance, and a massive amount of settings. I though about mentioning CM9 first, since it also has good battery speed and awesome performance, but it doesn't have all those features I need.
The best kernel to go with AOKP is undoubtedly Franco's kernel and his best build is the Milestone 3. I have tried Imoseyon's kernel, Trinity kernel and Galdos kernel and Franco's is still the best one. Also having Franco's kernel updater app makes everything even better!
Of course, this is all personal, which means this is what I think and you may have a mix that work better for you. I just though I'd share my input. Now, please share your input.
BAMF Paradigm or my own AOSP build. I don't mess with kernels much past what comes with rom (Not to say others shouldn't). I have been using imnut's pbj kernel the last few days, however.
Reasoning: Not so many tweaks that they end up conflicting with each other, time was taken to use proper signing keys, and the modifications are thoroughly tested before release.
I don't tell people what to use, as I let them make up their own mind. Just know I don't use anything I deem poor quality.
Got my nexus one week ago. flashed the most popular Roms here (but cm9) and was kinda disappointed. Coming from a galaxy s2 with roms full of bugs I expected the nexus roms to be stable because of the open nexus. But most of the roms been unstable and buggy for me too.
Now I found a good combination of Rom and kernel:
Bamf and glados kernel.
So far the most stable and battery saving combination for me. Using it since 24 hours and no FC or freezes so far. Think I'll stick with it.
Mods are cool too I just don't like the quick settings look in the notification bar and the not modable power menu. But I can live with that.

It's gonna be real hard for me to adapt with another ROM other than AOKP, if I ever switch to some other ROM ^^
AOKP Milestone 5, but I'm switching to the Paranoid Android. Love the 'hybrid' tablet/phone mix
I'm currently running Liquidsmooth with Imoseyon's kernel. I was planning to try a lot more Roms and kernel combos than I currently have but been a bit too busy lately to test each one thoroughly. I'm happy with Liquidsmooth, it has very few issues and I'm getting 2 days battery life (minimum) with moderate usage.
Next time I get a decent chance I will try out a few more
Aokp franco.
Most of all other roms take features from aokp. Like liquid smooth who renamed rom control to liquid control

I tried almost everything we have for now and stick to Modaco ROM because it's the smoothest of all, other roms are greatly customisable like CM9 or AOKP but they all lag here and there and i can't stand it/ The battery life is almost similar in all roms and it depends more on kernel you've chosen. I'm fine with franco milestone3. However I don't use nightlies because every of them gave me a random reboot at least once.

I have been rocking Bamf for the last few weeks. Really good with maybe 1 fc. Stock kernel wasn't giving me great battery so testing out Bond kernel right now. Getting slightly better battery results.
Have also tried Liquidsmooth, Modaco, and cm9. All pretty good but not as stable I find.
Have never tried Aokp. Crazy I know.

I'm interested in gathering opinions about which ROM i should try out first. I'm on a bit of a slow connection here so downloading can take a bit and there are quite a few rom's listed so i'm not sure where to start.
I've been thinking of trying out Open Kang. Any thoughts on it? I've primarily used CM in the past but I'm looking for something closer to stock with minor improvements and tweaks.

I'd recommend that!
I've been using it ever since I rooted my phone!
Battery life is quite nice, and in his ROM control you can play around with a whole bunch of settings.
Plus his nightlies are fairly often
I use bigxies rom, now 'apex 1.0' with francos kernel and its stable and fast. I tried open kang but i went back to bigxies. I don't now why, but i like bigxies rom more.

I'm using this one since a while and it works very well. Reminds me a lot on CM.
I'll stay with this one until the CM nightlies are coming.
But I reckon if you want to use something which is closer to stock you shouldn't use this one. However some of the features are really cool. For example the possibility to change the order of the soft buttons.
Like Open Kang but Manhattan IC102 got more custom settings and using that one. Both good stable ROMs with good battery life

Manhattan, AOKP, Apex and gummynex are all very similiar and equally stable. CM and vicious are too buggy for now imho.
I prefer aokp over apex.

Since you have a nexus, build from source. You'll have the stablest rom then.

At the moment, everyone is swarming to AOKP because it is stable and feature-rich. Try it. I bet you won't leave it lol
aokp is awesome when it comes to features and it's relatively fast but the fastest, most stable, and best battery life so far goes to cm9 nightly with francos kernel. just a pleasure to use as an everyday driver

Foxhound was my first Rom after rooting then I went to CNA and now I'm on AOKP and both CNA and AOKP are better than foxhound.
I only read feature this feature that yada yada... Im stock 4.0.4, buttery smooth, Rock solid stability, Rock solid reliable, godly battery life, and you can always use that Rock solid plataform and put in the top another launcher e.g Apex wich has lot of extra features, customization theres loads of widgets minimalistic text, etc etc... So I dont see the point on changing your Rock solid stock OS for some random mod OSs.. Thats my point of view.. Upgrade to 4.0.4 vía OTA then unlock bootloader and root and then your imagination and your pocket its your limit
EDIT: just in case you need to change your baseband to fit with your carrier if you are having some kind of signal lost or any other carrier related issue like i did, flash CWM so you can reflash easy, fast and safe all kind of basebands until you find the perfect 1 for you, in my case it was the xxkl1 cuz my Carrier was not working at all with the xxkk6 that came with my IMM76D 4.0.4 upgraded

Don't use cwm to flash radios fast and easy. That is a fast and easy way to hard brick your phone. Use fastboot to flash base bands. If something is not right fastboot wont flash it.
zippity doo da.
No best,just better
I have tried many ROMS from the DEV section and must say FoxHound is the best ROM. It is based on AOKP so it has a lot of great customizable features for your phone.
I just finished rooting my Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) and I'm looking for a decent ROM+Kernel combo to flash...
I'm coming from an OG Evo 4G and while there were ALOT of nice ROMS I'd say that about 9 out of 10 were "working fully"...by working fully I mean with no real issues...I understand that one or two things might not work that great but there were alot of ROMs that seemed like they were just pushed out to be the first with the latest "flavor of the month"...
I understand it takes tons of work to make custom ROMs and I appreciate all the hard work, but some folks just seemed like they threw anything together and flashed it...and also offered no support on the issues that popped up...
I can't decide whether to just leave this new phone rooted/stock or flash something...I just don't wanna go through constant FC's and non-working features on a brand new device...
I know most people say "flash it and find out for yourself" but I'm just asking a simple question here...just wanna know if most of these ROMs are solid...
so if there are any recommendations please post em up...
I'm sure there are some ridiculous ROMs for this phone because the phone itself is CRAZY!!
One other question- since I use Sprint do I have to look for ROMs for Sprint devices only or are all the Galaxy Nexus ROMs okay to flash?
Thanks.
So... you should just stay stock rooted.
Looks like the sprint dev section has most of the major players ported.
They are all stable for the most part.
I'm running Franco kernel nightly 152, that's there.
But Doesn't look like the ROM I'm on is ported yet.

Milestone 5 is out.
If you're just looking for a general outline, the big four are Gummy, AOKP M5, Miui, and CM9 alpha.
Of those I'd say AOKP gives you the most customization while miui gives you the least. Most other builds I've seen for the gnex are usually inferior (IMHO) builds of those 4.
I don't notice a huge difference between custom kernels but one major benefit is being able to set the clock speed. I know Franco does that when paired with the $3 app. So you can't go wrong there.
Good luck.

BlackIce Kangorade by travp624 (on RootzWiki or Goo) or CM9 Kang by winner00. A very solid rom!! All the roms are great! For or a kernel that's fast and stays at an extremely low temp I always wind up sticking with Trinity! Great kernels, big selection! 1344/345 or the TUV.. I've flashed around and with these Trinity I always get 4+ on the screen ..
(w/heavy usage!!) You will notice a difference right away and just gets better. Also grab the app (Trinity Toolbox) Has some that aren't available to pubic and it's good to support the devs!! If you have never flashed Kangorade you are missing out! Amazing rom!!!!
Yes, most of the ROMs are quite stable, the exceptions to the rule seem to be clearly labeled as unstable. Yes, you will need to flash Sprint (toroplus) ROMs but you can flash any of the Galaxy Nexus kernels. Most of the mods and themes should probably work too but you'll probably have greater luck trying a CDMA version rather than GSM.
Which rom do you like best and why?
I'm currently running CM9, Coming from the stock GSM 4.0.1, I think the battery on CM9 is heaps better but what are the others like? Thanks.
I want battery percentage (required) and possibly OC.
Also, If i was to flash AOKP is there any way to backup my homescreen? I've spent a while setting it up and it takes a while to do so. Thanks

Aokp got more features and less stability. I prefer cm coz I can't withstand frequent reboot. Can't stay on aokp more than one day.

How does the battery compare? I'm on AOKP now and I find it very unstable. Once I click unlock it takes like 2 seconds for screen to come on.
I use AOKP M5 on a daily basis and I have been since M4 and its stable as a rock for me. Plus all the features are a great plus

I too was wondering the sake, I just got my GN yesterday rooted it and first thing I did was flash AOKP because I've heard so much about it coming from a GS2. And so far I found it stable but am curious about CM9 and slim as well. So I too would appreciate some feedback
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've been using AOKP with the tuv A1 kernel. For the most part it has been pretty stable and faster than what I was used to. The only times I have had any issue is with a lockscreen. If I use one, sometimes the phone freezes when trying to unlock. This has been frustrating for me since I am using a Seidio case. I have to remove the phone case to get to the back to pull the battery. The battery cover is a big enough pain in the ass. The case makes it worse. I have since turned off the lockscreen completely and I haven't had a freeze in 2 days.
I was kinda leaning towards slim ICS as well to test the waters on that one.

so make a nandroid backup and go and try the rom.
no one can tell you the ROM is good/bad or whatever, you have to make that conclusion yourself. its like saying, rock music is the best music. some people may agree and some will disagree. will you decide the answer to it without trying it? no... just go try it.
there are WAY too many threads on "whats the best rom?" "which rom to use?" ..... just read the thread and conclude yourself.
AOKP is not slow. CM9 is definitely incomplete hence "nightly"
I have never heard of a slim rom. Wish they would port it to the Sprint GN.
I'm on CM9 but Slim is a good, lightweight, quick ROM. It has some of the features of popular features of AOKP built in. I've run it in the past, and wouldn't hesitate to run it again.
Using slim now, never got a full day out of AOKP, to unstable for me. How does the battery compare? I remember having 50% after one day with data off and 2g on on CM9, and wondering how the battery compares.
you forgot liquidsmooth!
personally, i use aokp m5 and have had no problems...
I am running the latest CM9 Nightly on my Verizon Nexus, and my Wife's Nexus is on AOKP 5.
My personal opinion I prefer CM9, is more low key and not so flashy, but still super fast / smooth, and has a great color control to really make the AMOLED screen pop.
I do like the million options AOKP 5 offers in settings, but CM9 will be getting those eventually. But something about the stripped down clean feel of CM9 appeals to me more.

CM9 for sure its rock solid and stable and the kernel is superfast and great on battery like you said. Just wait until they put theme manager in again ... it may be there as soon as the next nightly it looks like
AOKP is unstable, I always ditch it and its getting a bit bloated for my liking and i don't find I use much of the features anyway
Slim ICS is good if you dont want any features lol
AOKP not stable and slow? Mmmm disagree from here to heaven...
Been on aokp since m4 now on m5 + Franco, run buttery smooth and great battery /feature rich.. Had not a single problem with it and wouldn't change it for anything
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Never had a single problem with AOKP and I use my phone heavily on a variety of features plus benchmark tests as well.
That was all with a dirty flash from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 builds so I don't understand where the slow or unstable is coming from.
if you stick to the milestone releases with AOKP you are *pretty much* good to go but the in between builds are always buggy ... like the build where AOKP set your bluetooth address to a generic one for and not your actual phones address, for example. I've also had random reboots with AOKP. AOKP uses it's users as the beta testers and gets bug reports from them.
the OP asked for advice and i told him my experience with AOKP, other users mileage may vary but, there is no denying AOKP non milestone releases have new bugs per release. Having said that AOKP is a beast of a rom and Team Kang are pushing the forefront for ICS features.
IMO if the OP wants a smooth rom with stability and more features properly tested and added daily you can not beat the CM9 experience on the Gnex. that is all
peace

lol, I tried to list every ROM I knew of...you can still check other
For me the best Rom is CM9 no Akku Drain, Data Drops ....
I have to say I always keep going back to Gummy. As far as the other major players..
-I actually found Liquid to be sluggish at times mainly the toggles and wifi/data connection. Otherwise its pretty good. Waiting to see what 1.5 brings. Some people are Beta Testing
-CM9 I like it however I seem to have data issues on it. Menu list could be simplified. Battery drain. GPS/Maps
-AOKP, I just constantly get FC's no matter what I do. 5 FC's in 2 min of booting is no bueno. Again, simplified menu needed.
-BAMF was good but I want more customization
-Stock, well, it got boring.
+ Gummy just seems to be a great balance between them all. Performance, stability, and awesome battery life. I am always looking for a new ROM. I do not really have an allegiance; but I have had great luck with Gummy on my Charge, Bionic, and Gnex.
Only thing I wish Team Gummy did more of was being involved on the forums. That was one thing I really liked about DroidTheory. He was personally involved all the time almost daily. I and others just wish the Gummy Dev's chimed in more. I understand people have lives and jobs outside of creating these ROMs; but people want to feel like their devs care and communicate with them. Gummy has A BUNCH of supported devices. Maybe too many?
Still, I feel its the best all around ROM. They really do a good job and take their time.
Again just my 2 cents

I want to say one thing. I don't like the Liquid Smooth rom. It speeds the UI up artificially and that's not what a custom rom should do on its own.

What do you mean artificially?
Simba was moving to slow, so I told him to Mufasa.
Sold off my age old milestone and got a nexus. Right now on Provision rom and franco milestone4 kernel. Disappointed with the battery backup i should say. Screen hogging up almost 70% of the battery juice. Any suggestions for rom/kernel for better battery life?

I would say that you should update to AOKP and make sure you have the right radio for your location. Also, stick with Franco Milestone.
