I'm sure many people here have previously owned a Nexus One, Nexus S, Desire, or Galaxy SII. If you did, you probably remember the Oxygen ROM by AdamG. IMHO, it was the fastest and most bug-free Gingerbread ROM for the Nexus S.
I jokingly commented about Adam getting a GN and building Oxygen for it in Thalamus's kernel thread, and he posted the following:
AdamG said:
Ha, I would if I had the money, however cash is tight until next month, I've been considering one for a while.

I wanted to see how many people would be willing to donate (and how much) to get Adam a GN so he can build Oxygen for it. If there is enough interest, I'll approach Adam about getting a fund for donations.
Please donate me, i m much beautiful than him and also need an GN..!!!

I had a port of oxygen on my desire hd for a while and it was by far the fastest rom, I would love it on my gnex

Oxygen was nothing flashy, just probably one of, if not the most stable builds for Nexus s for gb. This would be amazing!

don't know if this is of any use or where AdamG lives but kogan (australia) are selling the gnexus pretty cheap.. i'm sure he'd know of a place to get the phone for cheap and not pay upwards of $500 though.. just so everyone knows, you shouldn't pay any more than $400 for this phone
Oxygen 4.1.1 would be awesome
What has Adam said about it?

I remember it being the most stable and smooth rom for the nexus s loved the minimalism in that rom ... unfortunately i can't donate being a student and living in the middle east with no cc or paypal -_-
Most missed roms were oxygen and hyperdroid when I moved to galaxy Nexus from galaxy s2. I loved the development and I hope we get to breathe some Oxygen on our Nexus Prime.

gb oxygen ran so well on my nexus s 4g that i kept running it long after the release of ics. and devnull ran even better, but lacked compatibility with some apps at the time. i'd lose control if i learned of oxygen team building for our phone.
Use nova Prime. No issues here. Best and smoothest launcher

It was my go to rom for speed and stability on the NS. Kind of like Rasbean on the Gnex
Unless he is going to bring some magic to the Galaxy Nexus that other roms still don't have then I don't think anyone is going to donate to him, Oxygen was good on the NS but there are so many free ROMs on these forums now that are really great, no need to basically pay for one.
Also new nexus is coming out soon, start getting donations for anew nexus lmao. Good luck though

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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.
I just got my Nexus 7 in the mail on Tuesday and I love it and I was thinking about switching Roms on my galaxy nexus and I had jellybean roms on my mind to switch to since I'm so used to it from the Nexus 7 and I wanted to know whats the best one out by far thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Just try them and see which you like. You're going to get responses from someone on every single ROM... There's no perfect or best ROM out there. Its all personal taste.
U right I just wanted to know what is the top preferred one b4 I start running through them all
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I heard good things about Bugless Beast and have been very happy.
Only one I tried and have no reason to switch.

There is no real point in these 'best rom threads', as mentioned before, it's based on opinion. Some will like X rom, some will like Y. Some won't like any... it's just a matter of searching the development sections (AND NOT POSTING THIS THERE!!) and deciding on what you feel you'd like. Some include certain features that others don't. Lets bare that in mind
Thanks,

I'm surprised no one has made any sense roms for the Gnex yet. Is it not as simple as porting over a different phone's rom and adding the on-screen keys?

theres a lot of framework needed for Sense, and it runs deep. If you've had an HTC phone like the Rezound u see how it's impossible to totally strip Sense down to aosp, and vice versa. Since its not supported by HTC, someone would have to basically do it from scratch, I don't think most devs find it worth the time/effort to try it. I did however see Paullie Vicious start work on one a few months ago, but nothing really came of it
We have nexus cuz most of us do not like sense. Plus its too bloated

Why? Because everything is vanilla android? That is the whole point of the nexus. Nobody bought the nexus because they wanted sense ports... they bought it for the clean android android experience.
Sent From My Toro+ via White Tapatalk
I don't know.. I didn't buy the nexus for a aosp experience.
I didn't buy it for sense either.
Now I have a droid incredible I've used sense, but with the amount if memory sense would be great for this phone. I do kinda hate limited by aosp only.. it would be nice to have variety honestly.
There really isn't a reason to have 50+ Roms running around when most include all the same features and optimizations.

You guys answering the OP's question arnt helpful at all.:sly:
OK so there is two ports happening and are in progress and just going into work.
There is a Sense 4.0 port by Nello92 & a team. He has been working on the SOB since the release of the Sense 4.0(March) now u probably wonder, "March??? WTF is taking so long!?!??!"
Well there are 3 things stopping him & the team.
1. SD doesn't work properly.
2. He has a life he needs to live so he does this on his free time
3. He is making this almost from scratch ( using a Nexus S port as base)
Now there is a Sense 3.6 port that has just started(no thread yet) because everyone says they've given up since no one has the answer tot he SD issue.
Nello92 is a stubborn SOB and believes(HELL TO THE YEAHYE!!!) it is possible to fix SD.
So in his eyes, development will continue.
Sense 3.6 is a new concept, so keep your eyes peeled for a thread.

Exactly what i want to say:highfive:
Hahahahaha. Uh no not everyone. People bought the Nexus because the Nexus is a device full of development.
Look at the N1. Continuing development like a BOSS.
People bought the Nexus FOR OPTIONS too. Not for only pure experience.

I know right??? I wanna try out Sense 4. The first Skinned Android ROM that caught my Eyes(& Motoblurr). Touchwiz can die IMO(not offending the Touchwiz lovers, I know u nex users are out there waiting for a proper port).
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Well I mean.. I did buy the nexus because its an upgrade worth getting. Can't technically say but in my eyes the pinnacle of the android devices, similar to the droid incredible. Even though the nexus relay doesn't have a lot of Roms. I guarantee it will go down in history as a great device like the incredible.
So I got this because I knew development was great, a lot of users jumped ship here from the incredible forum. It was free, specs are fantastic, the size fits my hand greatly. I did also buy it because it had jelly bean, well could get jelly bean.. and because I knew aosp is particularly fast. So in a sense yes I did kinda buy it for aosp but not in a literal sense.
I dunno.. I kinda wished there was some new type of OS I guess. You do get tired of the same stuff.
Touchwiz comes to mind..

The only team I know of that have build bots is cyanogenmod and they work their asses off on everything. Everybody else doesn't have some machine that does **** for them. I dare you to say that to a true dev. And so what if the OP doesn't post in a month. He has other crap to deal with.

The answer given is probably correct though; not many gnex owners are interested in sense. Or touchwiz. Or some other bloated ui.
If you feel sense is that important to have, you kind of bought the wrong phone. A quick search would have shown there are no sense ROMs.

Dayuuuum!!!! This was a question on why there are no Sense Roms, and then this turned into an argument.

(Face palm) yes there is.
From my understanding its kinda in a broken state like the port for the incredible. And you have to re root unless its been fixed?
As for cyanogen mod.. I feel they've kinda been stunted. I've used their recent Roms and I'm not at all impressed.

Ordered a nexus today and was checking out the forums over here, little research on what is needed to load up ROMs and what ROMS were out there, so many choose from I can't read them all. What's a few I should check out. I like to be able to them the hell out of the ROMs.
I feel like I hit the ROM mother load, no device I have had has this much developer support. Nice upgrade from the thunderbolt

Welcome, it depends on which device you have. Seeing you had a Tbolt like myself, I'm guessing Verizon. The Verizon galaxy nexus has a lot of support. My honest favorite ROM is one over on Rootzwiki it is basically stock plus emoji and power menu. Very fast very stable.
For a GSM I'm running purity and loving it. Very very stable and fast.

I currently have a HTC One and am thinking about selling it, pocketing most of the money and getting the Galaxy nexus. I really really want a stable AOSP build and the HTC one simply does not have one yet. What are your guy's opinion on making this switch? and how are the ROMS and Kernals for you guys?

Well since the One is better than the Nexus it would be a easy disicion for me. I think since the play store version is released the builds will come in in no time. I think it is only a matter of time before the aosp custom roms will come. The Galaxy Nexus has awesome kernel and ROM support since it is a Nexus phone. Some developers are leaving for the Nexus 4 but this phone is stille alive and there is plenty of development going on.

Read the rom/kernel Dev threads and see the comments. I suggest you wait, new nexus coming out. Meditate before coming back to the light (aka lite) side of the Force.
