Best All-Round ROM+Kernel Combination on Jelly Bean? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

What are some of your deadly combinations in terms of JB ROMs and kernels for the GNex?
I've got:
ROM: Jellybro CM10
Kernel: Jame Bond 3.3
Never encountered anything better than this.

Jellybro + Kejar gapps + Franco kernel

+1 Really haven't found something like what I had on ICE (Rascream + Franco). So far I've tried SuperRom, AndroidME, Thunderstick and Bigxies Stock ROM all of them with Trinity Kernel and Franco Kernel.

James Bond 3.3, Air Kernel r177, Franco 223 are all super smooth for me on the latest Modaco JR4.

XenonHD with james bond
Jellin' like a felon

CM10 [jellybro] + kernel of your choice (franco or trinity)

I was using black jelly bean + Franco. Was smooth and fast! Loving the dark theme.
But I just switched to CM10Hybrid ParanoidAndroid 1.8
Using the tablet mode. Its a nice change. Different. Paired it with Trinity 537GPU alpha32. I like! Then I just added the paranoid darkness blue theme. That was the icing on the cake.
I'm new to ROMs. Is trinity the only kernel that has a blue tint to it? I feel like i can't go back to the yellowish stock tint. Lol

MoDaCo latest with Franco kernel..
No bugs, no lag and more importantly no slow downs over time.

Why would the stock ROM have lag? Everyone seems to have this assumption that your average dude who does some Android development in the spare time that his real job affords him will make a better ROM/kernel than Google's highly skilled engineers that do this as their full time job. Stock ROM is awesome. Custom ROMs and kernels aren't needed to reduce lag or anything like that but to use different mods or features that are not part of stock. Everyone will say this and that kernel gives them better battery life but I really don't think undervolting or whatever has much of an effect. It's all about the screen and your connection quality. And of course how often you're waking your phone and using it.

Right now the stock ota with the trinity kernel is amazing!
sent from my Galaxy Nexus running official Jelly Bean!!!!

Running fitsnugly's CM10 jellybro and the kernel that came with it.
It's lovely!

Just run what I'm running... smh, he didn't ask.what everybody was running.

There is no possible way to answer this question. The only way to find what's "best" is to try them for yourself.

Best rom for Galaxy Nexus?

What rom do you currently have on your galaxy nexus?
just got a nexus and has kang rom on it. i want to know what the best rom is
battery life and such things.
THANKS BROS
AOKP and lean kernel. Fastest and best battery life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
AOKP and some kernel. I personally use Franco Kernel but look around and see what you like the most.
where can i find this rom? thanks for quick replies
Check the Dev section.
Goodluck!
Now with AOKP, use to be Slim. Both of them are great.
right now i think AOKP is the best. i used the official CM9 nightlies and there were pretty awesome, but still needs some features that i really need
Official CM9 Nightlies, Franco kernel.
Faster than the speed of light.

I'm using codename and just recently switched to francos 18.4 and now 18.6 kernel. I have zero complaints, the only thing I haven't gotten to work is Google plus hangout video chat but I haven't updated to the latest gapps yet. I bet I will try akop one day since it is so popular (maybe at milestone 4) but I have no reason to. Codename is killer smooth.

I was running ARHD but switched to the most recent CM9 nightly earlier this morning. CM9 is faaaaassst and so far no issues. Oh and I'm using the stock CM9 kernel.

When people say you have to try every from and find one for you, that's completely untrue for the galaxy nexus, once you try AOKP you won't change at least until MIUI is official for me
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Definitely liking AOKP Milestone 3. Plenty stable for me, and adds some nice features not included with the stock ROM. Paired with GladOS 1.15 kernel. Butter smooth, ~3+ hours screen on time with the stock GSM battery.
apparently aokp is the boss rom
AOKP and lean kernel+ leantweaks

AOKP and Morfic Trinity kernel... I've been testing alot of kernel and trinity is by far the smoothest and as amazing battery life! And for those who use quadrant as reference ; I average 3700 on ondemand

Why is everyone who uses AOKP suggests other kernel? Is the kernel that comes with AOKP not good enough?

I personally got best battery life and smoothness using lean kernel after testing every other kernel. Different results for different people I guess so you'll have to try kernels out yourself and see what you find best

I've just switched to the Glados Kernel found on RootzWiki with AOKP, and it's the best combination I've tried so far I think.

I know, I know there is probably a thread out there already.

Just traded my razr maxx for a cdma nexus. Obviously I know I'm going to notice a huge difference in battery life. So my question is what rom/kernel combos are providing the best results in battery life, speed, and stability. Feel free to bash me, but, please leave me your opinion ;-)
If your title states there is already a thread... why are you making another one?

Because I cant find the thread im looking for. Xda search sucks.
i like
aokp comes with faux123. its ****in sweet.
i always go back to imoseyons lean kernel
favorite rom is aokp.
oh check your pms
I'm on Liquid ROM 1.25 it's smooth and lasts whole day for me with about 40% left when I go to bed.
Hope this helps.

Liquid with stock kernel?
Why did you trade your max for a Nexus? I have an offer that's why I'm asking.
Development?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
CM9 + GLaDOS 1.28 ... CM9 is super stable with lots of features and it has none of the other bloat and bugs found in other roms out there (i've tried them all crack flashing and always come back to CM9) GLaDOS is simply the best kernel out there right now especially with EzeKeel's new Wheatly governor and vibration control ... best performance, batter life and stability ... if you don't know now you know
aokp b31 with franco r121, near 5 hour screen time and got me through full day too, with 14 left.
nothing surpasses franco kernel, and the best rom with most customizations is aokp. if u wanna go lite, try slimics with franco, also beast

AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone build and franco kernel Nightly #378 (Full Version for all features). Then a little tweaking and modding and your phone will be a beast!! Haven't flashed a new rom in almost two months that's how sturdy and bugless this rom is.

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.

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.

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

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.

Smoother w/ the stock kernel compared to what other kernels?
I would like some devs to comment on this just to clear up some issues, but I am reading that these JB kernels are basically just shots in the dark and real improvement over stock cannot occur until JB source is released. I would like to see lively discussion about this, with benchmarks, stability reports, and other comparisons between these kernels and stock.

Smoothest Rom
1,
I would say use AOKP milestone 5 with franco kernal which i find the smoothest and has many added features.
2, Apply JellyBean with some new added features added from google,Plus its super smooth though there some apps not working which will be fixed with new updates

Are you a telemarketer by any chance lol you sound like one of those home shopping adverts but seriously CM10 is best, we need to create a poll for top 5 roms or something for an unbiased decision.
Do not open another thread like this.. Thanks.. Tho to answer your question every rom is different.. Not one is the same..
