It doesn't really matter but generally, you should.

Is there a stock rooted imm76i rom with no modifications or tweaks anywhere? I haven't seen one that's simply stock and rooted. Any help would be appreciated

Download the stock images. Flash them. Root the phone....

Yeah, I know I could do that. Just simpler to have a rom that I can just flash, so I was asking if one existed.

No, its really simpler to do it the previous way. You'd be done by now if you just did it on your own. Take you 15min tops.
What about this?

Eventually I will be rooting my nexus but I'm wondering what is out right now that is worth rooting?
I know this phone is fairly new so I know there are betas out there
Is there a rom that is pretty solid?

Being that it's a nexus...
The roms are built (primarily) from source. And otherwise cherry-picked from other roms.
As such, they are ALL very stable, that I've seen.
The choice is yours.
Root access adds so much to the device...even without a custom rom.
The ability to back your system up.
Back up user apps to transfer to future devices/restore on your current device in the case of failure of some sort...
Better battery life from custom kernels/tweaks/etc.
Pretty much this

There are loads of good roms, just about every one is non beta. Aokp is the most popular one, paradigm is good, cyan next.
Thanks everyone
Hopefully there is a one click root for the cdma gnex soon

if you're just rooted, you cant switch kernels unless you're also unlocked.

This is incorrect. Of course you can flash whatever kernel you want if you have root. No need for an unlocked bootloader. (This isn't a Motorola device...)

You can flash kernels on the fly, with Android running, so this its correct, you dont need a unlocked bootloader to flash kernels...

Will this work with ics 4.0.4?

galaxy nexus toolkit makes it very easy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
main reason to root.. custom roms of course. Other good reasons are AdAway and DroidWall (good to block apps from using 3g if you have a crappy data allowance like me)

Yep.
ok so i managed to root my phone yaaay...thanks to this great community
one problem tho, it seems that the custom recovery wont stick, when i try and reboot into recovery i get this android with a red yield sign thing
I think custom recovery won't stick on stock rom, it resets itself
read 3rd question http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20310934&postcount=2

Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on Android that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from the Market). Delete the file recovery-from-boot.p from /system. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.

Or use Rom Manager (free) from the market.
It'll remove that file as well.
I got it all working now thank you everyone for the help !
Now to search for the best custom rom

I have MANY reason for rooting a device. At the top of my list is something I didn't see anyone else mention: WiFi Tether, so I dont have to pay my carrier a monthly fee for tethering.

Did you upgrade from 4.0.4 stock? And by stock, do you mean flashing the Google factory images for your device?

I just saw a thread where a guy had FCs for camera/gallery after flashing a custom ROM. By the looks of his logcat, the drivers for the camera got messed up somehow so Android can't start it. Could that be your issue as well?

One of the big things when installing a kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S III is that the kernel being installed had to be built on the same day or earlier as the rom installed or the phone wouldn't boot. Is it the same for this device?

No, you can have stock 4.3 with any kernel you want.
