Hi,
I have played with my Gnex for the Past 4 months (Released Dec 8th in Canada). I have installed many mods, kernels, ROMS (Currently on AOKP MS3 and Francko Kernel MS1). I love the utilities provided by these custom apps, but I keep having stability problems from time to time and its getting a little bit disapoint.
* My Juice Def apps gets killed and settings are reset.
* I only see 50% of the pic when people call me.
* Volume is at max, but cant hear my music because of ambiant noise (to tell yuo hoe low the volume becomes)
* I Dont know how to use he Undervolting and Overvolting of the CPUS, and I dont realy care (Too technical for me)
* Whatever ROM is used, it still sucks my battery. Juice Defender is very good at doubling my battery life.
These are some reasons that I might bo back to STOCK KERNEL and ICS.
For those of you who returned to STOCK, Did you miss all the tweaks ROMS and Kernel gives you? Do you notice a different in speed?
Thanks.
Sounds like you're overall not happy with your experience.
If all of these cool tweaks are making it so you can't regularly use the phone like you like it, just return to stock. Its not worth sacrificing your enjoyment of the phone just to get some cool tweaks.
Problem is.. I dont really remember how its to run a stock phone. :S
same here..i also would like to go back to stock..

Then do it! No one's stopping you. There is no shame in returning to stock lol. Its okay.
I want back to stock for a day and changed my mind.... main reason that I don't like the stock is lack of toggles and overall smoothness. Oooo and you have no idea how often I use search icon on navbar . Also this is my main way of communicating with people. Voice actions are brill testing and calling is very easy with this. Someone will say that I can do that from search bar .... yes but 9 out of 10 times I'll miss tapping the icon ....

Did I return to stock? Well, after successfully compiling my first ROM (AOSP 4.0.3) I found out that my backups were deleted so I had to reflash some stock images from Google. I'm having enough fun playing with the phone on my own...I can be patient to see what improvements other ROMs come up with.

I am running AOKP MS3 and have been flashing the latest Franco kernel. I had the same issues as you and a full wipe and reflash solved all of those issues. Hope this helps you!

1. I use juice defender too and I NEVER saw it getting killed. The settings do reset everytime you flash something even if you don't wipe cache but that's the developer's problem no the roms/kernels. The solution is simple : just backup your settings from JD's status tab and restore it after you flash zips in recovery.
2. Well known issue with m3. there was a fix zip floating around but you should just update. m3 is not anymore stable than the newer aokp builds. b26/27 are very stable but just wait a few days and m4 will be out for sure.
3. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Are you saying you can't hear the music at 100% volume? Does it go away with stock kernel? then it might be franco's volume hack. Try leankernel 2.4 if you want something lean, fast, with GREAT battery life and without all the extra bells and whistles. you need to go to rootzwiki.com to dl leankernel.
4. You don't need to undervolt with gnexus and even if you do, it's completely pointless. It causes instability and the battery savings are negligible.
5. Wipe data and cache and flash leankernel 2.4 and aokp b26 (or m4 when it comes out). You'll lose all your settings but I think this combination will keep you happy for along time.
6. I used JD Ultimate for a long time and after a lot of testing on leankernel 2.4, I find it completely redundant.
I'm back to stock (stock launcher too).
It's because I've never had any real problem with stock in the first place. No battery drain, no dropped calls, no sluggish interface and everything works. Then the most important thing is I LOVE the simplicity feel that stock offers so I've decided to go back to stock.
Nothing against custom ROMs.
This is why after you root its always good to Nandroid your stock rom.
The only thing i like about stock is that i know its not going to fail me and i know i dont have to always mess around with tweaks and other things.. it just does what it was meant to do..
Custom roms seems to always have problems with different kernels or maybe the ROM is just in beta.. or a tweak is causing something else to break..
But we also have some good custom roms base off of stock with nothing too much added.. like Android Revolatuion.. No diss towards other roms tho.. just people dont want to always have to change or fix something

It all comes down to personal choices really.
To me i tried AOKP rom with Franco kernel and it really rocked. But then i went back to stock since 4.0.2 with XXKK6 gives me good battery life and its rock stable.. no issues. i do have to give up a lot of customizations but i can live with it. no problem.
The reason i don't want to install custom roms yet is that i would go crazy with flashing roms and it would be addicting so right now i just want to stay away..i would get bored after trying all new roms.. so right now STOCK.. just want to savour the beautiful Galaxy Nexus as is.
I went back to stock on Sunday. I was checking to see if wallet would work on stock but it didn't. When it booted up stock the first time I was like:
http://troll.me/images/snape-dafuq/dafuq-is-this-****.jpg
When I got my phone it was stock for about 5 minutes. AOKP FTW!
Confused. You can run ROMs with the stock kernel. IMHO, stock kernel> any custom kernel. My experience, custom kernels create different problems.
Kernel enthusiasts tend to be a little... too enthusiastic. They tend to ignore the problems and measurebate about supposed battery life or performance.
My best combination is AOKP ROM for the features and stock kernel with a couple performance tweaks in the developer settings.
Now I just go about using my phone to enhance my life rather than the other way round.
YMMV, and it is your life, of course.

I agree 100%.
I never had any issue with AOKP. But I use stock kernel. Custom kernels are for those who can live with a phone not working 100 % and alarm clock fail to ring in the morning. If you want the best of the best for the Gnex, flash AOKP, and nothing else. And don't mess with performance settings.
And btw. The only ROM that ever randomly rebooted on me, was stock ROM. How is that for a laugh?
Stop using Juice Defender. It sucks or it has some serious bugs on Nexus I don't know. Stock everything I had juice defender on and strange things were happening. Touching screen would do nothing, apps would close on their own. When I took it off everything was fine again. Juice defender was recommended to me by someone else. So oh well, seems he was luckier than me running it. Fast forward a week, I got interested in ROM's, now running AOKP with Fugumod kernel and thought hmm maybe give juice defender another shot. Within 1 day I removed it. AGAIN, apps crashing, touches not being recognized, slowness switching screens. I say Juice defender stinks or has lots of bugs. My battery life is just fine with AOKP and Fugumod. Right now my Nexus is perfection. I can quickly get in and out of apps and there is no slowness or anything. I can't see myself ever going back to stock.
I'm running stock 4.0.4 with no issues.

I'm debating going back to stock.
Came from 4.0.2 stock to AOKP 1-30 milestone + franco.
The new ROM is nice and all, but like every 15-30m I get randomly disconnected from the network and takes 15s to reconnect. It's semi-tolerable but I hate things like this.
why was music app missing from AOKP rom Milestone 3? who do you get it back?
I recently acquired a galaxy nexus. It has a slight purple tint at like under 15%, and a huge one at exactly 0%. Is there a way to adjust the colors so I can get rid of/minimize the effect. Also is there a rom that looks exactly like the stock or something. I am pretty nooby at this. What is the best kernel?
Most kernels allow you to change your color settings, but I suggest you try Franco's App in the Play Store and download either his stable or exp version of his kernel, and then adjust settings in the "color control" settings area.
All of our kernels will allow you to change the color settings and most of them have apps. All of the roms look like stock as well except paranoid android and slim ICS. Kernels are good and bad for everyone and what works for one person will not always work for another. You should try them out to see how your phone responds to them.

Yes, you will have to make a backup.
Then just download the kernel and flash it via ClockworkMod Recovery.
Also, the kernel control apps do cost a small bit.

Is the purple thing fixable via color control? Because at about 15% most purple goes away but if you look at gray under the notification center there's still purple.
Purple tint may be fixable with color control.
You'll have to play with the values, but I'm sure you can get a set-up that suits you.
Secondly, use my sig to get you up to speed on installing all of this if need-be.
Do I flash rom before kernel? Or vice versa?
Rom then Kernel yes.
Download AOKP. I know they have a working color control built in.
Or if you done want to change roms. Download the Franco.Kernel updater app.
It has a wonderful color control that I use all day depending on lighting.
What's the difference between Franco color control and AOKP color control?

They are the same really. But the app has a better layout and it works on ALL roms.
Also if u change the kernel on AOKP it won't work anymore.
I'll tell u how to get the Franco.kernel updater app in a PM. Okay???

If I flash Kernel and Rom, can I still exchange my device if I'm not satisfied?
YES.
But make sure you unroot. Use wug's toolkit to do that.
Guys, I just flashed AOKP and noticed the purple is gone. Should I still flash franco for better battery life?
If so, who's ROM are you using?
Can you please share your experience with those of us who haven't taken the plunge yet?
What's your experience with...
battery life?
smoothness?
stability?
app incompatibilities?
whose kernel are you using?
how do you like Google Now? Does it kick Siri's butt?
would you recommend using now as a daily driver?
Feel free to add anything other experiences. I hope we can get some good info to help those of us who are still on the fence with Jelly Bean.
i'm still with stock, ill stay on it until CM10 starts nightlies. stock so far is very smooth, and great battery life.

I'm using paranoid android's JB version
battery life? Equal to AOKP on ICS (2days standby, 4~5hours screen on time)
smoothness? Perfectly smooth, equal to all the other JB roms I've tried
stability? - No issues yet
app incompatibilities? - No issues yet either
whose kernel are you using? - The standard one for paranoid android (i.e. CM10's), I used to use franco's but the battery drains too fast with no real benefit for JB
how do you like Google Now? Does it kick Siri's butt? - Google now works incredibly well.
would you recommend using now as a daily driver? - Yes

I'm running Paranoid Android v1.9.1a (based on JellyBro CM10, I believe?).
Battery Life: Having a hard time seeing much difference between JB- and ICS-based builds. More on that later.
Smoothness: So. Damn. Smooth. Really, really good. Rapid scrolling through APW FB and Twitter widgets would sort of stutter on ICS builds. No such hiccups now. Similarly, when installing/updating apps in the background, my system used to lag really hard. There's still a little bit of stutter, but so much better now.
Stability: I think I had maybe two random reboots in ~3 weeks. Some of those may have been related to experimental versions of the kernel. Hard to say, as I didn't investigate particularly hard.
App Incompatibilities: Haven't run into anything yet, aside from apps which do not play by the Holo UI rules and require an onscreen menu button. (CM10 commits appear to have baked longpress Multitasking button as Menu, though. Or maybe that is all molesarecoming's doing in ParanoidAndroid. In any case, it's excellent.)
Kernel: imoseyon's leanKernel v4.2.0. Stock voltages and frequencies. Using the InteractiveX governor. There were a few experimental builds for v4.1.x that were hotfixes to get it to even boot in CM10-based ROMs. I have the feeling that the few freak reboots I got were related to the kernel's growing pains.
Google Now vs. Siri: Having never used Siri, I can't really speak to that. Google Now is quite nice though! A real step up from the previous, boring Google Search app. Voice recognition is really good, and the few commands that I've played with (setting alarms, getting directions, etc.) were neat. Voice commands aren't really my cup of tea, though. I already think about my phone too much. If I start talking to it routinely, my girlfriend will probably up and leave me. And I probably wouldn't blame her :]
Daily Driver: Obviously recommended if you're a veteran ROM flasher! And definitely painless enough that I think even a newcomer would be just fine.

I am running Bugless Beast Jelly Bean from Pete Alfonso (Verizon Toro). Currently on the 7/24 build but started with 7/9
1. Battery Life is good. Initially it was shaky, but good after I turned off most of the location based Google Now options.
2. Smoothness - Awesome. Big improvement from ICS
3. Stability - Perfect so far
4. App incompatibilities - So far only one, MyTouchTunes. One normal menu selection does not respond to touch. There is another menu with the same thing so it is not a big problem.
5. Kernel - Stock
6. Google now seems cool, shows off phone really well. Not really sure yet of value, and have not spent enough time with Siri to judge.
7. Highly recommended. Better experience than stock 4.04 all around.

I tried jb the day it came out and went back to cm9 because of app incompatibilities. But apps are being upgraded to the point that it's not that much of an issue now, so I made the move to jb.
Went with bigxie's 4.1.1 ROM because of his reputation for releasing very solid, stable ROMs that just work. It also is already rooted and has busybox and gapps preinstalled, which eliminates more hassle. No complaints or issues whatsoever. Smooth as glass and rock solid.
Installed Nova launcher to give me a few of the conveniences I like, at least until a CM10 release candidate comes out. No issues.
Trinity kernel is still in alpha for jb, but after reading some good reports about it, I went ahead and installed it, too. Working great so far with no hiccups. Very good color control and ability to tweak for superior battery life (two of its strong points).
So at this point I'm very satisfied with this combination and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
I don't use Google Now, or even keep GPS turned on at all. I'm a big believer in internet privacy, and Google doesn't need to know about my daily activities. So can't offer an opinion there.
Tried one of the Roms thinking it wouldn't be ready and I'd have to go back to ICS... how wrong was I. Once you've been to JB you'll never go back to ICS... works perfectly well, no issues.
I'm using Jellybro CM10 Kangs.
In battery I notice no difference.
Very smooth for me, no random crashes, reboots or anything like that, everything works.
Only app I had a problem with is Power amp doesn't work right in the notification bar.
My friend has an i4S, even he agrees Google Now kicks Siri's butt. The voice is more human like, pictures come up, its more of a place to get info rather than a novelty like Siri.
I would strongly recommend the ROM I'm using because it has some of the most important things I missed from ROMs; Notification drawer widget, extra lock screen targets, lock screen weather, lock screen calendar, even theme chooser works now.

Hellz yeah!
I've been running BAMF Paradigm v.2.0 since it was released a few days ago and I absolutely love it. Battery life is well, the GNex typical battery life. I always have spare batteries charged.
I've had no random reboots and confidently use it as my daily driver. I'm using the kernel that is included with the ROM. I've tried a couple others and rolled back to the stock one right away. I was getting problem with deep sleep on any alternate kernel.
I never used ICS on this phone. I rooted and flashed JB from the day I got it, so I really can't speak the the difference in performance, but I run ICS on my HP Touchpad and I know I would not be happy with it on my phone after having used JB.
I would, without hesitation, tell you to make the leap to JB.
I don't think you'll miss ICS in the least.
Xenon HD is pretty good at this moment.

Jelly MIUI JLM First Edition Beta 1.0
So I have yet another one for yall. I finished it up today and it is not too bad. Got everything working that can work in a jelly bean rom. Now dont expect the silky smoothness of Dirty Diablo but it is not gutter trash either. The biggest lag is in the lockscreen. This is a rebuilt rom from miui.us build 2.12.28 which had a few too many bugs. The biggest being an fc in messaging everytime you recieved a sms or mms leaving you with no notification that you had one. I have added in tronits latest and greatest BlackDome 2.1r1 sbc plus crossbreeder and some build.prop tweaks to round out the package. Testing is going on and if all is good than it will be posted over the weekend for yall to enjoy. I will be posting screen shots here soon as I get the chance.
Check these out!!! Battery life and jb miui

a run down of Jelly MIUI JLM
So I have been using this ugly stock miui launcher for one reason. I heard from that the jelly bean miui really sucks some juice. These shots were after a 1 1/2 hours of almost constant use. As you can see in the pictures my signal sucks when I am inside, I am using wifi and this phone is active. At the rate I am going the battery will last about 8 hours for an 3500 mA extended battery. Now that might sound steep but under the same conditions other jb roms can be as little as 4 hours. Now for real world life I would say the average stock battery should run 8 or more hours with normal use and decent signal.
Now there are special feature in the MIUI that are not in the normal MIUI that you might want to know about. First off if you remember DND well that has changed to Firewall and for those new to this here is what it does.
You can setup multiple types of filters for calls and text
You have a white list, black list, plus anti-stranger mode (non address book block)
anti-private mode (privite numbers are filtered)
keyword spam filter. All these settings effect call, sms, and mms
Once the filters are set then you can setup a blocking schedule with a start and stop time or all day
You can also manually turn it off and on
There is built in screen capture by a toggle or keystroke combo
You can lock the screen buttons (home, menu, back, search)
There is a guard mode that requires a password to see gallery, sms, mms, call log and some other things
You also have built in 2way call recording with any kernel
You place the call click on the tools option on the dialer and you have multiple options on of which is record
It also comes with network assistant to monitor data usage
You can set a limit and then it will automatically block data usage when that limit is reached along with notifications when you are close to your limit
A built in backup program which saves all your apps/app data, settings, permissions, sms, mms, call logs the works
MIUI's superuser app call permissions managers it allows root access
but also monitors all the apps permissions such as sms, call, phone state, call monitoring, contacts, call logs, positioning (course and fine position), and phone id
You for each thing you can allow, ask, or deny access for each app
Then you have themes which unlike other roms you can mix and match parts such as
lockscreen, wallpapers, icons, status bar, boot animation, sms app, dialer, fonts
With sounds and wallpapers you can even use your own off the sd card or music player.
Oh yeah lets not forget since it is based off an miui.us build there is the miui.us toolbox
Status bar settings
center clock
hide am/pm
single bars (for non fans of having both 1x and 3x signal bars like in the old donut and cupcake days)
Custom carrier label
custom carrier logo (if you dont want a lable how about a picture)
change colors of
clock
carrier lable
signal bars
wifi icon
battery icon
or set all above to one color
also reset back to white
launcher settings (for stock launcher only)
hide status bar
hide icon text
resize widges (custom widget sizes)
There is a cpu tuner with typical features
abd over wifi
battery calibration tool
android id tool
invoke media scaner option
screen dpi
and this thing call fan-nav that i have not figured out yet
oh and this crazy desktop mode thing for the stock launcher you have to see the video of this it is weird
So talk about a feature packed rom. And if your not a fan of that ios style launcher you can just load on your favorite launcher and still get almost every feature of miui.
All this and more coming soon to a server near you!!
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness
Yeah, this is gonna be rally sweet!
I'm curious was there anything done outside of build.prob tweaks and init.d tweaks? Since you can't so anything with framework I'm not trying to diss the rom of anything. Might as well just port the latest miui

Well power that bad boy up and try this out when I release it. It will be worth doing a side by side comparison.
Oh and here is the pics of yesterdays usage. You must take into account that the cpu was set on 245/998 with ondemand plus I get next to no signal as you will see in the screen shots. This is also a good 3500 mA extended battery. I would say the average user with a stock battery, normal usage, and fair signal should average 8-10 hours with little to no changes on cpu settings or battery management.
The phone was on for 7hrs 45mins with real use for 6hrs and 21mins. Not to shabby for a jelly bean rom with almost continues use
Sometimes I even amaze myself!

Alight guys I have started on the TNN toolbox. It is in general discussion and scheduled to be implemented with every TNN ROM project. The rules of custom ROM development are getting rewritten.
I flashed ParanoidAndroid on my Note 2 and I'm very unimpressed with the battery life. I haven't used this phone on Stock ROM at all but I've heard that the battery life is brilliant (with 4.1.1 if not with 4.1.2 because of some bug).
So to all modders over here, how's your battery life and which ROM are you using? Or is it only with Stock ROMs that we can experience the incredible note 2 battery?
AOSP ROMs aren't optimized for best battery life..
I'm using Phoenix ROM right now, 6-7 hours of screen time.
On AOSP (Carbon ROM) getting 5 hours of screen time
Moderate to heavy use..

they can all use pen as a pointer. no special functions though. just like your finger.

Would recommend you carbon ROM .. And enable the pointer icon from input settings..
And also you can set some spen pen button functions too..
Also if you get GMD Spen app , you get some of the things that's on Samsung ROMs has ..

I've to bump this thread again. I'm experiencing some VERY bad battery life with Neak Kernel + Paranoid Android.
Can someone suggest me some good ROM (pref AOSP) + Kernel combo for good/decent battery life?
I'm facing the same issue with ParanoidAndroid. Initially I found out that my mail client was consuming 40% of it. Now it is lasting 5h.

Well I see no such thing in my Battery stats in my Settings :/. Don't know what's eating up my battery.
I have Paranoid Android and the battery life for me seems pretty much the same as in my stock ROM. But I use a lot of third party apps like Greenify and I always tend to change the network to 2G

What I don't understand is that with aosp I got almost 98percent no wake locks and greenified almost every app besides Whatsapp and yet I can manage only 5hours screen time. Whereas with stock rom such as Alliance 3.0 running perseus with half a dozen wake locks and I still manage to get 6hours or more screen time. I even configured the governor to pegasus and undervolted and underclocked and yet same results. And please don't say to change the kernel to neak or Redpill coz I've tried those configurations and no changes. I'd love it if someone who claims to reach 6+ hours of screen time with aosp to please share with us how you managed that because I've seen a few who make that claim but non willing to share.
