So I just got a G Nexus and im wondering whether I should be using stock JB or one of the custom JB roms. Is there a stable JB rom that is better than stock yet?
AndroidME. Very clean and fast with a good amount of features.

Almost all the custom ROMs are rock solid stable since they work off of the stock codebase to begin with. The very worst that'll happen is that they'll have a feature that doesn't work completely. For example, one of the CM10 kangs has a toggle that crashes when you select it, but it's not in stock so you still get the rest of the features.
Custom ROMs will also have generally better performance and battery life aside from any features they have. AndroidMe, Revolution HD, CM10 kangs, Xenon HD, the list goes on. Try em out!
If you give the devs time, they will add more tweaks,etc into the custom rooms....stuff that is not available on the stock

I've been using the stock ICS ROM and I am very impressed with the battery, coming from my X10.
How does Jj's ROM compare? Do the kernels make a difference,, as I was just going to keep the stock kernel I believe.
Thanks, I'd really like to get an idea of the differences.
I am rooting the fire for my niece. What is the best, most stable Rom right now. Don't want get to have to deal with any problems. Just a stable experience

Try GEDErom or AlienDroid. No problems for me. There is also Hashcode's but haven't tried those.

Kindle Fire with AlienDroid primary and Modaco secondary
It comes down to personal preference. I tried all the JB ROMs and last night went back to CM7 for the awesome battery life and stable performance. Sooner or later I'll go back to JB because of OTG support.
One suggestion would be just try out as many as you can and answer your own question.
The ICS ROMS are much more stable than any JB ROM. GedeROM is my favourite ICS ROM.
You could of course try a modified stock ROM, like MoDaCo which is also very stable.

Is KF powerful enough to run JB?

Yes. I have been running JB since hashcode first produced a fire rom. I currently use twa_priv's rendition. I do not experience any stability problems except those I cause myself by messing with the system.

Which CM7 one do you recommend?

That also depends on preference. I'm currently running the barebones CM7 with intersect raven's kernal. I like it because it has been stripped of almost all the apps and runs smoothly. The Hellfire CM7 has more visual color to it. I recently flashed the Cm7 stockish from goo manager (the ROM was updated on 11-04-12) but the SoD was very frequent
I'm looking to root/rom my OneX shortly. I normally try out loads of different roms and settle on the one I have installed when I get bored of faffing around anymore, but this time I would like to just go for the one/two that i'm after.
Would like the most stable rom that closely resembles the Nexus 4 / JB 4.2. Are the roms there yet? or are they still missing features or buggy?
Which rom would best match what im after?

I guess you could flash ARHD and then use ROM Cleaner to get rid of Sense.
Check the threads out

This is what you want
ROM cleaner does not get rid of sense at all. Sense is not only launcher or lockscreen, it's the whole framework. To remove it you need to flash AOSP ROM.
Also, OP wanted Android 4.2.
The closest to absolutely stock Android you'll get is pabx's AOSP ROM. It is like it's pulled straight from n4 with no extra mods or tweaks.

If you want tweaks go for ICJ above.

Just thought I'd let you guys know I went ICJ on a whim, at install time. Thoroughly pleased. Great recommendation guys. Really appreciate it.

I'd been using ICS for several months, but a few days ago I decided to try JB (chilly's CM10) to see if it was stable enough. So far so good.
Since we don't have a proper Jelly Bean kernel for the Incredible 2, I'm guessing we don't get Project Butter. Is that right? As far as I can tell, the UI responsiveness in 4.1.2 JB is about the same as 4.0.4 ICS. It's not bad, but I don't really notice an improvement. Am I right about not having Project Butter, or do I have it but not notice it?
My kernel version is 2.6.35.14-ae-15, which I think is an aeroevan Gingerbread kernel.

here is are a few links to 4.2.2 ROM's with the hacked chinese 3.0 kernal. I've been on Evervlov for the past couple weeks and its pretty stable. I just flashed.
DKStunna108 new 10.1 build with the 3.0 kernal

Drews thread for his 4.2.2. Its a modified version of 10.1 with his 3.0 kernal

You will need to flash gapps from Here
Oh, interesting! I didn't know devs had already started releasing ROMs based on that Chinese kernel. Still, didn't HTC release that kernel for ICS rather than JB, and if so wouldn't that still mean no Project Butter?
I guess what I'm wondering is how much Project Butter depends on having a kernel that's been tuned for Jelly Bean, updated drivers, etc. If the 3.0.16 Chinese kernel allows Project Butter to work, that's pretty cool!
Ugh, OK project butter has nothing to do with the kernel
It comes with jellybean
And that 3.0 kernel both with chilly's roms and ever evervolv is one that preludrew hacked up or ported and its an aosp, no one has built any ROMs with the Chinese kernel yet.
Bry is building a flash able zip with the new kernel as we speak and even then it's just going to
Be the kernel no over clock or fast charge yet

Hey guys. I just got a Nitro HD and have got TRWP installed.
I've tried pac-man 4.3, and now AOKP 4.2.2
I've noticed these two jelly bean roms, run great, and have meh battery life.
Whenever I launch a game however, and close the game, my phone will be running at 20-30fps really crappily.
Could someone suggest a good rom that won't do this? I just want to play my darn hill climb game
Also I could use recommendation for the best baseband to use? Currently on V10f baseband.
My battery life is terrible and when I downgraded to 4.2 I put Wind Kernel on and it doesn't seem to help, nor show voltage control. What apps works?
Also my Camera doesn't work at all. I always get "Cannot connect to camera"
If someone could help me out, I've be very grateful. I miss my S3 now D:
From my experience of su640 it's always bad experience with custom ROMs if they are not on lg stock.
For me best bet was always lg 4.1.2

I didn't know there was an official 4.1.2. In Canada, the P930 stopped at 4.04.
For a custom rom and good battery life, try Avatar with Wind 2.5 kernel and PurePerformance. I set my governors to Smatassv2 for CPU and Noop for i/o.
I can't comment on the gaming abilities of this rom since I don't game.
4.3 was just released for this rom this month, so there are no really optimized kernels. If you want a more stable rom look for builds on 4.2 branch (cm 10.2) . And like audit13 said windkernel is the best to install as well.

I thought cm10.1 was based on 4.2.2 and cm10.2 was 4.3.
I use Avatar but the themes don't seem to work with the Wind kernel. Not a big deal for me since I like a very plain and uncluttered interface.
