ROM/Kernel/Radio Suggestions - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

*originally posted in general, hope mods delete original post*
Hey Everyone,
The Galaxy Nexus is the first smart phone I've owned since the HTC Fuze (hence the username).
Should I stay with stock? Should I check out cyanogen 9 RC1? What would ya'll recommend for a total Android virgin?
Thanks for the suggestions!

Get the stock JellyBean update and you should be good for awhile.

About the ICS stock boot animation

Hi folks,
I just got my galaxy nexus 3 days ago and today I flashed wit one rom which is AOKP.
This rom is really impressive in terms of the performance in browsing and overall.
But I miss the ICS stock boot animation. Could anybody help me to find the boot animation?
And I'm not a developer so I have very little knowledge about how to apply it.
Please let me know how to.
Hope somebody can kindly help me out

Here's the optimized version for deeper blacks and more vibrant colors. Be sure to get the January 8th one. Flashable through CMW (just like you did with AOKP rom). Or you could just unzip the package, and push the bootanimation.zip to /system/media using terminal or root explorer.

Thank you so much I'll try it out now!

I tried this version but it's not smooth towards the end
hi there
I tried this version. It's full screen on my galaxy nexus but it's not smooth towards the end of the animation where the device is getting close to being booted.
I've flashed my galaxy nexus a few hours after the launch of Jelly Bean and whilst Jelly BEan is really good, I hate its bootanimation.
Still prefer the stock ICS one.
Can someone please post the stock standard ICS bootanimation.zip file here please?

Welcome ! If you want a rom with a lot of custom mods , go with AOKP build 30. Its in the development thread . I'm glad you liked your Gnex, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

All the evos! Dang how many did they produce? You must have millions!
Seriously though, I really like the AOKP Builds. Build 30 just released and its based on the newest release 4.0.4. AOKP also has a ton of extra features!

Yeah finally android is trying to be smooth UI with the nexus like the iPhone UI. For roms aokp is pretty much the way to go. At least that's where to start, then move on from there should you chose to do so.
Well actually I had 5 OG Evos and 3 E3D's

I'm in the same boat as you except I got my nexus 5 days ago and I've already starting creating my own ROMs and hacks. I forgot how great android was.

Ya gotta read around here more. We have a WIP build here in our dev section. Good rule of thumb is if you don't really know your way around then its best to stay in your own backyard..ie the att note II forum . Were here to help!

Best advice ever. I recommend lurking a bit here for a few days, maybe a week, to really learn as much as possible. It may seem daunting at first, but it is totally worth it. I'm a recovering flash addict myself, but we do have CM10 in the works and like you, I'm very excited! If you would like, PM me or something and I'll help intro you a bit to XDA.

This is what your looking for - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495
Madmack Dec 13 update is working well running it now

Happy with the development so far?

Hey guys
I have this amazing tablet since a couple of week now..
I think the development has been kind of slow for a "nexus" device
what do you guys think?
Hard to get a lot of development going without a stable platform.
It's been through 3 updates since being shipped.
Remember, the first generation had a month or so head start, as there were a few hundred in the wild and the factory images released 30 or so days in advance of the retail launch.
There's stuff popping up... Just takes a bit of time...
Yeah I guess .. sooner or later roms like AOKP should pop up ..plus the European release just happened

Yeah it's not officially launched in Sweden yet, I had to import which is no problem anyway.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Yep so we might start seeing better development in coming weeks
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Maybe it's not related with a stable platform
the nexus 7 has lots of hardware/software problems (wich have not been solved yet) maybe that's why.
and please dont ask for development, they wont hurry to make a kernel/rom just bec you make this thread
sorry if i look rude :angel: but that's my opinion.
when i get mi nexus 7 2013 in september i wont start making a rom since first hours, i will first try it, enjoy it and when i get bored of the jelly bean 4.3 then i will make a rom.
maybe i am not the only one who thinks like this and that's why there aren't lots of projects so far.
--
and please, you have 4.3 android jelly bean, you want someone to make a port from a higher device? from a higher android version? wich one?
the devices who always have lots of development are for example an older device who gets a port from a higher one. or a good device wich has not many features.
anyway, you may be waiting for AOKP,CM,PA,etc.. just wait the good developers will release them soon.
Learn to do it yourself. Or shut up about it?
There are official CyanogenMod nightlies on CyanogenMods webpage if you want to try something new.

There's no need to be rude. It wasn't a complaint, it was an observation and I personally found some of the responses quite interesting.

The glide is dead. Long live the S4 mini!

Hi all,
Just a quick note to let you all know that my Glide hardware has died a horrible death. Screen flickers, color inversions and eventually a blank screen.
Replaced it with a Galaxy S4 mini which is the same size and an upgrade all around at a reasonable price.
Had fun here and time to move on. I see you guys are in capable hands tough. Take care!

Good for you, also thanks for the previous CM10.1s you brought to us. Quick reminder: don't forget a custom ROM (official CM is available), TouchWiz will instantly bog the phone down.

Don't worry... Had this thing rooted with CM 10.2-M1 on here in less than 6 hours of it showing up at my door!
