Which ROM + kernel is the best for performance? [GSM]

Hey everyone,
I've been running AOKP + franco's kernel for quite some time now, and it is pretty amazing if I do say so myself . I wanted some change though, and I was wondering in what other GSM ROM have you guys had the best experience in?

there are multiple threads with this discussion, use the search feature please.
the best experience is simply... already what you're using, but if you really want change.. probably bigxie is what you want.

ROM recomendation

This might sound totally noob (and maybe it is, I'm not even sure this goes here), but I come from the Galaxy S, where I had barely half a dozen ICS ROMs to choose from, and I'm a little overwhelmed. I've counted 23 ROMs currently in development in the sticky thread from the Development subforum, and I don't know where to start.
I know, in the end, it comes down to taste, but I would really apreciate if some of you guys with more time to test roms, knowledge and experience would help me (and others) "filter" them.
Wich one do you use? Why?
Thanks for your precious time, and sorry if I screwed up somehow.

I'm currently using insertcoin 6.1, about to flash 6.2 and I have been very pleased with it so far. Very fast and stable. I've tried most of the others and kept coming back to insertcoin. You are right, it does come down to personal preference, so my advice is try as many as you have the patience to and pick the one you like.
I'd recommend insertcoin.

I'm a fan of LeeDroid, always have been back to his days on the Inspire. His roms are always stable and he typically makes a solid kernel with the rom, but due to the crappy source the kernel is taking a little longer

I'll try both when I get home.
Thank you very much!

If you want stock looking but fast go for ARHD.. but if you like customizable at boot try insertcoin... Leedroid I think is the more stable one because he also the one who make the kernel..

I'm using the Revolution HD 6.0.0, together with my own tweaks (optimized RAM, more cache on the filesystem/sdcard, better ipv4/ipv6 traffic, better GPS,...) and the EternityProject kernel (v0.82) repacked for Revolution HD and the ROM Cleaner.
Works great with the ext4-tweak, battery-pack mod, advanced power menu (including 3-dot remover), brightness mod and Rosie-tweak.
You should try that killer combo!

VILLAINROM V2 + FAUX B3 KERNEL.
Very stable and smoothness, no crashes, no reboots, great battery life (22 hours aprox).
The only thing... this rom was not update to the lastest .11 version.

Kernels

Hi guys,
I've noticed a lot of people mentioning kernels in development threads, and I'm wondering what the deal is? I'm using a CM9 mod on the One X, but I haven't done anything to any kernels to my knowledge. Is changing kernels a separate process? If so, is there any advantage to doing this?
My GPS isn't working with my CM9 mod, so is it possible the reason other people aren't experiencing the same is because they're on a different kernel for example?

If u flash a boot.img...u did something about kernel. Its the heart of ur rom. Read fuast123 cars transmition comparison.
LET THEM TALK, ALOUD!! HTC ONE X, THE ONLY ONE. VIPERX + FRANCO KERNEL r12

[Q] settings, ROM's and firmware... help and opinions please

Hi,
I just got a nexus yesterday and have a couple questions. I had CM9 on my Galaxy S before i had this so I thought i was familiar with ICS. But I am finding that a lot of the "settings" I loved on CM9 are not available on my new nexus. Such as unlock screen options, notification toggles, ability to remove the persistent search bar, display battery percentage, wifi hotspot, change # of screeens. Is it possible to get those settings back without installing a new ROM or getting individual apps for each item?
And if I need to install a ROM which ones are good (there seems to be a ton of them)? I would be putting this on my wifes phone also, so I would need a ROM that has practically zero bugs. What about the JellyBean ROMs, how are they? Should i wait and see how the official JellyBean firmware looks?
I know i can read a hundred threads about the ROMs, and I will, but my brain is swimming with info right now and I'm hoping you guys -n- gals can help to get me on the right path. Please give me your opinions if you have a minute.
thanks in advance,

For Jelly Bean it's too early. A lot of the tweaks you're used to from CM9 are not yet available in the ROMs I think, at least not the one I'm using right now (bigxie)... If you need those you'll have to wait for CM10 or for the next AOKP, or find the mods you want and flash them manually, but the risk of something going wrong is higher naturally.
If you don't mind staying with ICS for the moment, I can recommend the AOKP Milestone releases. All the tweaks you've mentioned are in there plus the milestones are super-stable! Prior to JB I was running AOKP M5 and it's great!
I'd also recommend to install Franco's kernel (and buy his app on the market to tweak it even more ) as I find that power consumption is a lot better with his kernel. Of course as usual if you need stability, use the stable releases instead of the nightlies.
Hope this helps

I agree with Gunthy, if you want the bells and whistles, go with AOKP and stick with ICS for a bit. JB has some nice new little tweaks, but you its nothing you cant live without. Besides franco's kernel, I really like imoseyon's leankernel.. i find i get the best battery life with it. I don't think its on XDA so you might have to google it and find it on another forum

what is the best rom for you?

hello everyone..im just a new gnex user here..i want to ask whats the best rom for you guys?

i try to keep my nexus as stock as possible…. i didn't even unlock the bootloader, i love pure google, although i experienced some bugs, for example my whole gallery was deleted from one day to another… all the pictures lost… this was under 4.1.2

welcome to the forums and the nexus. Please for future reference, there are a lot of threads that have been closed due to asking what is the best rom.

im newbie in here..thats why im asking you guys..

Welcome to the forums as well!
Right now I'm trying out AOKP (Build 5) after coming off of CM 10 (M2). Both AOKP and CM10 are pretty rock solid to me - I've never had any issues with either of them. CM10 have higher benchmark scores than AOKP did, but AOKP (to me) has a much better battery life and allows for far more customization (colors, lock screen, menu, toggles, etc). But even though AOKP doesn't score as high, I don't see any "real" performance hit... if any. I've never really trusted benchmarks on how well my phone will perform... I just like having high numbers to show off ;D
Overall, AOKP is doing wonders for me! Running that along side Air Kernel (with my beloved SmartAssV2 governor).
Here's my advice to you:
- Download a ROM you think you'll like; CM10 for example.
- Go into your custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash it.
- Get it setup the way you want to (ie: Add your apps, settings, kernel, etc)
- Make a Nandroid backup (include boot.img to keep your kernel)
- Wipe everything afterwards and flash another ROM! (like AOKP, Codename, etc)
Just keep doing that until you think you know what ROM you wanna use. Then you can just restore that backup you made and you good to go! ^_^

-Codename android is close to stock with some of the goodies from AOKP and CM10
-AOKP
-Paranoid android if you like messing around with the DPI
Those were my top 3 roms. Feel free to browse and choose a rom in the dev section.
Good luck!

I like MIUI. I recommend downloading different ROMs and trying them out and seeing which one you like. Some are similar to stock but enhanced functionality others are like HTC Sense or TouchWiz with a very different look and feel.

Try a few out.
I personally like the stock experience. Being with Verizon (Toro), we don't get the latest updates 'til probably around 6 months after. In this case, I use BuglessBeast to get the latest with stock experience. Hope that helps!

Read through some ROM posts before flashing. Bugs can pop up in the best of them. I personally like Codename. Just depends on how much customization you want. I agree with the other posts about trying more than one. After all that's half the fun.

My personal favorite is Bamf + diet kernel. There is no bugs what so ever and it is very stock with the customization features that you want.

Xenon HD +Trinity kernel ftw.

I'm running XenonHD form Oct24th. I have tried others and found this ROM working well for me. I did run the XenonHD from 9/29 prior to that. Apparently when I installed a version after 9/29, that one was not behaving well. So I went back to 9/29 until today.
Just finished the install a couple hours ago.
I find the battery life of the XenonHD rom to be very good (for what I do with the phone).
Surely there are many other great ROM's out there and the best ay to find YOUR Rom is to try a few.
Good luck and have fun with your GNex.
