Favorite kernel?

I'm running the stock kernel right now with Android Revolution ROM. Anyone have a kernel on their GNex that they really like?

You're pretty limited as most of the kernel developers have gone on to 4.0.3.

Pretty much what he said. Your only alternative is to use MoDaCo's 4.0.2 ROM allowing 4.0.3 kernels. But I'd just recommend using AOKP, its on 4.0.3 and you can combine that with Franco's kernel. Amazing combination and I recommend it.
I was using ARHD but he never updated to 4.0.3 as he's waiting for the binaries for 4.0.3 on Google's part. I don't fully agree with what he's doing so I moved onto AOKP. AOKP offers a lot more features that are amazing and every update just brings on new features that I really like. So you should check that out

If you want the "leaked" 4.0.3 from somewhere, use one of those rom, but might not be stable. I am using arhd with james bond kernel with 1.35 oc uv, it run like better, no crash, stable like stock. The choice is your, stable or not stable. Most of the rom out there are just diffetent name but 99% are the same.

4.0.3 is not leaked. It's compiled off AOSP source. And it very much stable. AOKP is also not the same as the other ROMs. Unique features such as changing color of the clock, adding PM/AM, smaller PM/AM, center clock, power saver are there. This is what separates this ROM from the rest.

Gotcha, thanks guys. There are are a few things I've been wanting to do with 4.0.3 anyway, so maybe I'll bit the bullet and switch to a different ROM. I looked into AOKP and Franco's kernel and they both sound pretty good.

Just took the plunge - AOKP with Franco's kernel. It is sa-weeeet!

ya i donno where you're getting your information from but running aokp has been the smoothest, most stable rom experience I've had.

Using ARHD 2.1.1. Since it's 4.0.2 you're limited in available kernels since most are being developed for 4.0.3. But with that said I'm using Jame Bond Kernel w/ 1.35 oc and uv.
Only had one fc, other than that it's been very stable.

Another quite popular ROM is Bigxie's 4.0.3 based one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399238).
Along with Franco's kernel, this combination really flies, with great battery life!
I highly recommend it. Franco also has a market app which makes updates more convenient and also offers easy access to options such as overclocking.

Franco's is awesome. He has a handy auto-update app on the market.

Just installed it does this auto-check for you, or do you have to manually open it to check for kernel updates?

You do need to open the app to check for updates.

Most stable 4.0.4 ROM?

Whats the most stable 4.0.4 based rom? I love AOKP and ive been running M4. But im looking for more of a newer system based rom. The battery life from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 i believe is a hell of alot better.

Flash the newer build of Aokp its rebased off 4.0.4. It's been out for quite a while

No stability issues with the stock ROM!

BAMF....

Android revolution HD 3.0.0 is awesome... although I think its pretty much the same as stock with a few minor tweaks.

Well you're like one of the only ones with issues. And the OP asked for a stable ROM , not a lame-not ROM. I'm personally running CM myself , just threw a suggestion let him test the waters and pick the best one that works for him.

MIUI

Official CM 9, is bulletproof stable. And has longest lasting battery life out of the dozen ROM's I have tried.
I can't even imagine how awesome RC1 of CM9 will be.

Another vote for stock 4.0.4. Currently using my own build of aosp. Deodexed, rooted+busybox. Quite stable.

I've bounced around to several of the roms mentioned here and I have to say all of them have been pretty stable. I've used several for over a month, others weeks at a time. I'm on MIUI now.
All are pretty stable. The differences are the extra features and speed. Some stagger while others zip along. I'm sure most work well now. Most will have the same common extra features normal in a custom rom. Most of them look and feel the same after you get it setup.
My problem is I'm getting bored. The roms are so stable and perfect that I have no reason to flash and most devs aren't putting out many updates because of this. Only CM9 and AOKP update nightly. Others go for weeks. I'm was running Axi0m from March 4th. I finally got the itch to switch to MIUI.
I'm waiting on Gummy to release a new rom and Team Bamf.

Looks like CM has more popularity then i thought. Ive ran with 4.0.4 AKOP but it seemed problemmatic to me. I also run francos kernel. And always update to the latest nightly.
Maybe ill give Build 31 a shot again. Im tempted to try CM9 now though. Although i thought with 2nd init roms like CM9, atleast thats what they called them when i had it on the droid x. It was feature filled, but battery life was terrible.

AOKP b31- Francos Kernel
I recently bought my Galaxy Nexus. Immediately rooted it and tried a couple of ROMS. I was looking for stability with features.
I finally installed Milestone 4 and found it stable; however, not smooth or fast enough as 4.03. After seeing all comments in the AOKP thread I tried B31. Have been using it for 3 days with Francos Kernel Milestone 2.
I love the features, stability and smoothness with which the ROM works and have had no FCs or reboots at all.
In my view-If you want stability with a host of features then, nothing better than AOKP B31 with Francos kernel.
All the best with the upgrade.

Bluetooth Problems
Did CM9 and/or AOKP get the bluetooth problems ironed out that I read was introduced by 4.0.4? That's one feature that has to work for me.

Using Liquid Smooth Rom 1.25 - Pretty stable and fast, a lot of neat features ...
Flashed imoseyon leanKernel v3.2.1 but my phone was heating up (Didn't even touch the processor speed or voltage ) now using Franco Kernel (Battery life not good) - Give it a try, maybe the above mentioned kernels might work for you ....
Now going to try Trinity .....

Brand New To GNexus...Best ROM/Kernel Combo?

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.

I use franco kernel with stock rom

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

Best ROM/Kernel combos
ROMS: AOKP & GummyNex
Kernels: Lean Kernel & Franco Kernels
Silky smooth Buttery Blazin' Fastness
Tons of customization

Hey, good to see you here as well!
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.

Surely somebody has a recommendation though right? I'm also curious being that I just got the phone today. Does anyone have a favorite because of maybe battery life or certain features?

AndroidME + Franco Kernel seems to work really well for me in terms of battery life & performance

I guess as of now 'the' best is bigxie Odexed Rom (JRO03C) + Trinity Kernel..... (Simple,Stock,Clean)
Will give a try to MiNCO ROM when its v2 is available...., also need to try BAMF Paradigm v2.0....(good reviews)

I'm loving Android Revolution HD, used it on my amaze and now this, its an amazing ROM, like improved stock, no problems whatsoever! Definitely try em all out though, these developers work really hard and they all do an awesome job!

Which version of Trinity Kernel do you use. I'm concerned about the cpu&gpu overclock.

i used bigxie Odexed Rom (JRO03C) + franco r225 and now i'm on MinCo v1...undoubtedly MinCo is better...

Fastest kernel for 4.2.1 Aokp

Running 4.2.1 AOKP on verizon galaxy nexus (toro) , wondering which stable kernel is recomended for more speed?

does it matter?
I use the Franco kernel but have tried several. I honestly don't think there is a huge difference among most. Overclocking to me is pointless since ultimately it is the ram more than anything else which reflects speed and we are all stuck at 1 gig of ram. This phone is still a beast and more importantly has more customized Roms than any other device.

Give a try to Lean kernel. It serve me well. Battery saving and good performance.

I've tried most of them. I liked Trinity but am on stock kernel again and getting better battery life than with any other. Your call though. All of them seemed okay.

tried most of them it was a tie between trinity and franco for me but i was getting SODs on trinity so ended up sticking with franco.. using r348 atm
