CM9 or AOKP. The links are in the development section for your respective device.

Just make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM and try as many as you want. That's what I did with my Sprint GNex a few weekends ago since I wasn't 100% sure what I was looking for. You can always restore back to stock should you not like a ROM for any reason.
I decided on AOKP b37 and Franco Milestone 3 (now running Milestone 4)--this setup has been flawless for me with no crashes or hangs at all. In addition to my stock nandroid backup I also have four backups of other ROMs as well, should I want to try out the different functionality each one offers.

Rascream and liquid smooth are probably the two best roms.
Rascream doesn't have many options but is built from aosp and is the fastest rom out there and liquid has more options and is pretty smooth.

Thanks guys

I searched for a rascream thread here and couldn't find one. Is it called something else?

Tounchwiz

Just asking is there a jb Rom with tounchwiz in the Rom?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sorry, gotta say it, but Tounchwiz?
TOUCHWIZ.
You won't find it anywhere.
Most people who are on the Nexus cannot stand OEM skins.
Also, no JB with Touchwiz ROMs except maybe on the SGS3 but I'm not even sure, I doubt it.
Thanks for that helpful information .

Nexus devices are then only ones with Jelly Bean. Even the S3 doesn't have it yet.

I recommend you get a Galaxy S3 if you like TouchWiz. Nexus devices use pure Android OS without the bloats.
This custom TW Launcher only work for Gingerbread for now, but you can follow its progress to see if it gets support for new version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
Also you can download Cyanogenmod TouchWiz theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz&feature=search_result
sense, touchwiz, motoblur all unnecessary junk. Wish more manufacturers would use vanilla android, but that's why I got a nexus.

Thats true!
i find it ironic that ppl with touchwiz devices cant wait to flash aosp roms..and you a nexus user wants touchwiz. well to each their own.
i think there is a s3 add on that gives makes your phone like the s3 with touchwiz..you might wanna give that a try

AOSP Rom with no mods.

whats the smoothest AOSP JB rom here for the GNex? I'm still in the process of rooting so I havent tried any. I just got the phone last night and my other was the NS4G. I see there are a few here but Im looking for people who have tried several.

Sprint Gnex, please? I like a pure smooth rom.
You're not going to get anything 100% stock considering you need to go to a custom ROM. Poke around the Sprint development section and see what people offer. Those ROMs are your only Jellybean option right now.

look in the bloated roms section :silly:
Just a warning to you, threads like this are no longer allowed on xda. My suggestion is do a little reading through the roms your interested in and then do a little bit of trial and error until you find what your looking for.

CNA by far imo.

I would agree with this. CNA with jellybean has been the most stable jellybean rom I have used for the galaxy nexus.
Best ROM is the ROM that suits YOU. Just try all out and stock with the one that you like. I would recommend starting with something popular, like cm or AOKP.

Most features has to be cna.

Which ROM is the best for you depends on how you use your device.
If you are using a device from Verizon the sticky in it's development section can help you get started.

[Q] What's the best VZW 4.2 Rom?

Hey guys I'm a Nexus retread. Just wondering what the VZ JB 4.2 rom is. Thanks!
Prepare yourself for the flames!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
At least from XDA? mROM 3.2 if you want the closest stock ROM without any mods. (Which I'm personally running)
MMUzzy's Jelly Bean is my next choice, stock feel with some extra additions thrown into the mix.

This is answered the same every time it's asked. Try several and see what works best for YOU. Everyone doesn't want the same features in a ROM. Some want stock and others want customization. Read the forums look at the screen shots and flash whatever peaks your interest. If you don't like it flash something else. Just be sure you make a backup just in case something wonky happens.
As for a suggestion, I am currently on Xylon V11+Zen kernel V12.
