I'm interested in gathering opinions about which ROM i should try out first. I'm on a bit of a slow connection here so downloading can take a bit and there are quite a few rom's listed so i'm not sure where to start.
I've been thinking of trying out Open Kang. Any thoughts on it? I've primarily used CM in the past but I'm looking for something closer to stock with minor improvements and tweaks.

I'd recommend that!
I've been using it ever since I rooted my phone!
Battery life is quite nice, and in his ROM control you can play around with a whole bunch of settings.
Plus his nightlies are fairly often
I use bigxies rom, now 'apex 1.0' with francos kernel and its stable and fast. I tried open kang but i went back to bigxies. I don't now why, but i like bigxies rom more.
Tranquil ice had horrible battery and reboots for me, miui was sloooowww and buggy; it was v4 btw, now I'm on gummy next .66 outstanding so far

I'm using this one since a while and it works very well. Reminds me a lot on CM.
I'll stay with this one until the CM nightlies are coming.
But I reckon if you want to use something which is closer to stock you shouldn't use this one. However some of the features are really cool. For example the possibility to change the order of the soft buttons.
Like Open Kang but Manhattan IC102 got more custom settings and using that one. Both good stable ROMs with good battery life
Android revolution HD is my fav

Manhattan, AOKP, Apex and gummynex are all very similiar and equally stable. CM and vicious are too buggy for now imho.
I prefer aokp over apex.
I use ARHD 2.1.4
very good and stable. maybe slower in update than others, though
rootzboat v7.1 hands down!
Since you have a nexus, build from source. You'll have the stablest rom then.
I've change rom
To Apex, by bigxie, with OCUV, best battery and speed ever
I have just ordered a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I am going to root and install a new ROM on it as soon as it arrives!
What is the best general ROM? That has above average battery but great performance!

the one that has all the features you want.
seriously, go read through the dev section at the roms listed and find one you want to try.
At the moment, everyone is swarming to AOKP because it is stable and feature-rich. Try it. I bet you won't leave it lol
aokp is awesome when it comes to features and it's relatively fast but the fastest, most stable, and best battery life so far goes to cm9 nightly with francos kernel. just a pleasure to use as an everyday driver

I was going to try a few out I was just wondering is there was one that just stood out!
I'll probably try CM9 nightlies to start with and then probably try miui as I loved that ROM on my N1!

CM9 + GLaDOS 1.28 kernel once you've tried it you will come back to it every time
Beets. Bears. Battlestar Galactica.
AOKP best by far...everything is customizable including the nav bar...you even get the weather on your lockscreen if you want. i recommend pairing it with franco kernel build133 with stock GPU....sooooooooooo smooth

I've tried most of the ROM's and so far imho,
1. Foxhound (it's aokp, just better and no pink unicorn)
2. BAMF (it's stock, has a few glaring missing/standard things, but rock solid. I like it.)
3. AOKP (3 versions b27, milestone and b29 it was buggy, new features broke)
AOKP apparently is better but I haven't tried it and to be honest, I rather wait for Foxhound.

I think it's simply because it's presented better on the forum and the fact it has thousands and thousands of posts. You should try foxhound, i bet you wont leave it. Wait for the next version though because it will probably have most if not all aokp features. (honestly, I thought AOKP rocked too and I do, but it's not the best in my opinion)
Aokp b31. You'll always go back to it.

Aokp. Feature packed, not buggy.
Build 29 yes it had bugs. That's why it's called a build and not milestone. Bugs exist, the Aokp team fixes it almost immediately. No problem there.

Liquidsmooth has a ton of features and a small footprint.
I have tried a bunch of roms, for my use and max battery life I always seem to find myself reflashing Foxhound 0.2.. It is AOKP but better for me.. I'm going to flash Fox 0.5 this morning and try it for the weekend. Fox just needs more themes for it..

Foxhound was my first Rom after rooting then I went to CNA and now I'm on AOKP and both CNA and AOKP are better than foxhound.
I only read feature this feature that yada yada... Im stock 4.0.4, buttery smooth, Rock solid stability, Rock solid reliable, godly battery life, and you can always use that Rock solid plataform and put in the top another launcher e.g Apex wich has lot of extra features, customization theres loads of widgets minimalistic text, etc etc... So I dont see the point on changing your Rock solid stock OS for some random mod OSs.. Thats my point of view.. Upgrade to 4.0.4 vía OTA then unlock bootloader and root and then your imagination and your pocket its your limit
EDIT: just in case you need to change your baseband to fit with your carrier if you are having some kind of signal lost or any other carrier related issue like i did, flash CWM so you can reflash easy, fast and safe all kind of basebands until you find the perfect 1 for you, in my case it was the xxkl1 cuz my Carrier was not working at all with the xxkk6 that came with my IMM76D 4.0.4 upgraded

Don't use cwm to flash radios fast and easy. That is a fast and easy way to hard brick your phone. Use fastboot to flash base bands. If something is not right fastboot wont flash it.
zippity doo da.
No best,just better
I have tried many ROMS from the DEV section and must say FoxHound is the best ROM. It is based on AOKP so it has a lot of great customizable features for your phone.
Which rom do you like best and why?
I'm currently running CM9, Coming from the stock GSM 4.0.1, I think the battery on CM9 is heaps better but what are the others like? Thanks.
I want battery percentage (required) and possibly OC.
Also, If i was to flash AOKP is there any way to backup my homescreen? I've spent a while setting it up and it takes a while to do so. Thanks

Aokp got more features and less stability. I prefer cm coz I can't withstand frequent reboot. Can't stay on aokp more than one day.
I am using Nova launcher. It got backup function.
But I prefer to use ROM manager + cwm to backup the whole ROM before I try sth new and risky.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
How does the battery compare? I'm on AOKP now and I find it very unstable. Once I click unlock it takes like 2 seconds for screen to come on.
I use AOKP M5 on a daily basis and I have been since M4 and its stable as a rock for me. Plus all the features are a great plus
Cm9 is too incomplete.. aokp is too slow. Slim has all the aokp features and its fast
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I too was wondering the sake, I just got my GN yesterday rooted it and first thing I did was flash AOKP because I've heard so much about it coming from a GS2. And so far I found it stable but am curious about CM9 and slim as well. So I too would appreciate some feedback
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've been using AOKP with the tuv A1 kernel. For the most part it has been pretty stable and faster than what I was used to. The only times I have had any issue is with a lockscreen. If I use one, sometimes the phone freezes when trying to unlock. This has been frustrating for me since I am using a Seidio case. I have to remove the phone case to get to the back to pull the battery. The battery cover is a big enough pain in the ass. The case makes it worse. I have since turned off the lockscreen completely and I haven't had a freeze in 2 days.
I was kinda leaning towards slim ICS as well to test the waters on that one.

so make a nandroid backup and go and try the rom.
no one can tell you the ROM is good/bad or whatever, you have to make that conclusion yourself. its like saying, rock music is the best music. some people may agree and some will disagree. will you decide the answer to it without trying it? no... just go try it.
there are WAY too many threads on "whats the best rom?" "which rom to use?" ..... just read the thread and conclude yourself.
AOKP is not slow. CM9 is definitely incomplete hence "nightly"
I have never heard of a slim rom. Wish they would port it to the Sprint GN.
I'm on CM9 but Slim is a good, lightweight, quick ROM. It has some of the features of popular features of AOKP built in. I've run it in the past, and wouldn't hesitate to run it again.
Using slim now, never got a full day out of AOKP, to unstable for me. How does the battery compare? I remember having 50% after one day with data off and 2g on on CM9, and wondering how the battery compares.
you forgot liquidsmooth!
personally, i use aokp m5 and have had no problems...
I am running the latest CM9 Nightly on my Verizon Nexus, and my Wife's Nexus is on AOKP 5.
My personal opinion I prefer CM9, is more low key and not so flashy, but still super fast / smooth, and has a great color control to really make the AMOLED screen pop.
I do like the million options AOKP 5 offers in settings, but CM9 will be getting those eventually. But something about the stripped down clean feel of CM9 appeals to me more.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
CM9 for sure its rock solid and stable and the kernel is superfast and great on battery like you said. Just wait until they put theme manager in again ... it may be there as soon as the next nightly it looks like
AOKP is unstable, I always ditch it and its getting a bit bloated for my liking and i don't find I use much of the features anyway
Slim ICS is good if you dont want any features lol
AOKP not stable and slow? Mmmm disagree from here to heaven...
Been on aokp since m4 now on m5 + Franco, run buttery smooth and great battery /feature rich.. Had not a single problem with it and wouldn't change it for anything
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Never had a single problem with AOKP and I use my phone heavily on a variety of features plus benchmark tests as well.
That was all with a dirty flash from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 builds so I don't understand where the slow or unstable is coming from.
if you stick to the milestone releases with AOKP you are *pretty much* good to go but the in between builds are always buggy ... like the build where AOKP set your bluetooth address to a generic one for and not your actual phones address, for example. I've also had random reboots with AOKP. AOKP uses it's users as the beta testers and gets bug reports from them.
the OP asked for advice and i told him my experience with AOKP, other users mileage may vary but, there is no denying AOKP non milestone releases have new bugs per release. Having said that AOKP is a beast of a rom and Team Kang are pushing the forefront for ICS features.
IMO if the OP wants a smooth rom with stability and more features properly tested and added daily you can not beat the CM9 experience on the Gnex. that is all
peace

Yep, CM9 is moving a long very nicely lately, and the pace has really picked up in the last week or so, some big development updates every other release now. Next update tomorrow or Tuesday will have some really cool features implemented.

I'm going to be flashing an SGS2 for someone I know and I was wondering what a good setup as far as ROM, kernel, recovery, radio is for stability and features.
They upgraded from a LG G2x running CM7.2 Nightlies so they have basic experience with custom ROMs, but they don't know all that extreme technical crap.
I'm thinking about Juggernaut because it has a lot of good tweaks and features or maybe CM7 since they aren't many thing on the non-working list.
Please reply with any helpful suggestions, I'm considering flashing an ICS ROM but I'm not sure if it would be stable enough for daily use.
Thanks
The ICS ROMs are suitable as DDs, so take your pick! Choose any of the T-Mo Leaks!
As of now, the kernels that come with the ICS ROMs are as is, so no worries there.
For Gingerbread, if you choose the Darkside ROM, it has a special kernel, made directly for the ROM, but you can still swap out for a different kernel.
With CM7, you can only use the kernel that's meant for it.
All other Gingerbread ROMs are customizable as you see fit.
I hope that helps!
Whatever ROM you choose, you can always ask more questions in its Thread!
I'd say
Dark side
Beast mod
Juggernaut
Not in any specific order
I'd lay off the ics unless your buddy is gonna update it often

I think I'll go with one of those modified ICS leaks and stay away from the AOSP until it goes into RC quality.
Mostly from CM7 he liked the custom gestures, audio tweaks and such. He really just wants good battery to last a while and has zero tolerance for lag so V6 will come in good use. I'm a port dev so I'll be able to throw in the beats libs and dsp manager.
How is the battery stats on the ICS leak?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
For ICS use [ROM][ICS] :ARKSIDE.EVOLUTION.2:: [BETA2 [UVLC8][WiFi CALLING][5.06.2012]. I run it as my every day ROM and its nothing short of amazing. If you don't want ICS use [ROM] Telus SGH-T989D Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free] with [KERNEL] Synergy v0.10 [CK3+, Autogrouping, OC, UV, BFQ, BLN, OTG] it gets crazy battery life but is getting old.
Also be sure to wipe your phone via [TOOL]:ARKSIDE::SUPER::WIPE[ext4][2.8.2012]

Personally, I'd take an AOSP GB build over leaked TW ICS builds. RC6 CM7 is rock solid stable with no real bugs and tons of customization. Every bit as smooth as TW ICS imo.

But the issue is he wants better than stock battery life and AOSP delivers the exact opposite of that. But I'll see what he wants between all this tomorrow. For most novice users that I flash roms for its about finding a perfect balance between performance, stability, and features. So in simple terms: Noobs always want everything to be perfect and don't understand the concept of how difficult debugging roms is.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
Personally. I wouldn't flash any ICS ROM's just yet. There are a few apps that I use daily that doesn't work with any of the leaked bases.
The GB ROM's that I liked were Darkside, Revenge of Macnut, Juggernaut, and Tuesday.

been using juggernaut5 for over a month now.....had the phone for about 4 hours before i had it rooted and rom'd. juggernaut has been very stable for me and i'm on the verge of trying out one of the ics roms built with the t989 kernel from tmobile-either romchicago or darkside.evolution
OK,
They want stability, performance, and battery life and I've heard about some recent superbricks in ICS for the SGS2 and Galaxy Note. So I think the best option for now is to stay on GB and go with Juggernaut 5 + Beats, DSP, V6 + whatever custom kernel. Final Decision. Or maybe ROMChicago if they feel lucky.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/tibt5/heads_up_superbrick_bug_present_in_ics_leaks_for/
Now since this should be flashed as fast as possible I've been thinking about how Samsung has ODIN and you can make custom images for it, so if I could just package the CWM, System ROM, kernel, and Blaze 4G radio into an ODIN package. Flash it in like 2 minutes, setup V6 and be done with it.
I've been searching for some guides to create packages but most of them only show how to create it as a backup from the current ROM.
personally, i love M&S's roms, especially Bombardier. It goes super will with Synergy kernel v.10, the battery life and performance is amazing!
OK, Let me just say that I'm sorry for this thread but it turns out the actual phone is a stock SGS 4G running Froyo.
I thank you all for your input anyway.

On a closing note, Again I wanna thank everyone for their responses and I review and write guides for ROMs so what I learned here won't go unused. Plus I'm sure someone else I know will want a SGS2 flashed.
This is the ROM I flashed for the SGS 4G in case anyone was wondering.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402966
The phone got stuck in ODIN twice (guide didn't mention to uncheck repartition) and I had to use the one click unbrick to get into download mode again. At first I almost had a heart attack because I thought it need JTAG to fix. So thanks to the devs responsible for that tool.
Development for that phone is almost dead but if there's one thing I liked about the SGS1 series they had some awesome stock ROMs.
The most important lesson I learned is that using ODIN is like playing with fire: It does cool s*** but it can ruin everything.

Hiya everyone,
So I just became a Galaxy Nexus owner as of yesterday, and wondering what support is out there for this phone dev side as well whats everyones fav rom? I'm quite happy with the stock AOSP 4.2.1, however I do miss some customization of roms like from CM and AOKP when I was a S2/One X owner.
Wondering if its really worth that much of a change though however to go custom? I used to build on the S2 side of things so if there seems to be a strong community on the Nexus side maybe I'll reboot the old linux box.

You couldn't just look in the development section? And there is no favorite rom for everyone. I use slim but everyone has their own preference. No offense but I'd have expected a Dev to know better.
Try Xylon, custom toggle, custom navbar, custom status bar, custom kernel, custom .... Blablabla
A powerful mix of many CM, AOKP improvements and mainly lag and bug free

Do try Black Bean AOKP. I found this one a very complete and stable ROM in my starting days with Nexus.

Hmmm, why don't you try building as you used to do on your S II and customize your ROM the way you wish? Actually this is what I settled on after trying so many ROMs on my S II and I am following the same way with my GNex. I feel great and satisfied when I am running my own ROM and I may even bear some bugs in it just because it is mine
This is the only experience I can help you with because this is the only ROM I use

For me 4.2 is a total dissapointment,i'm still running 4.1.2 on CNA 3.8.0,the best i found out there. Tried all the 4.2 roms and all of them had that lockscreen delay that was driving me nuts so I decided remaining on 4.1.2 for a while. Also tried all the 4.1 roms but the best that fits my wishes is CNA with a stock look and tons of customization,along with faux' latest kernel, 23m-sr
Paranoidandroid hands down, no rom on this site is comparable when it comes to speed, smoothness, customizations and battery life all rolled into one, others may have one of those better but none have the combination and NONE have the amount of options.
What I am using currently can be found in my signature below.
If you're looking for a stock ROM that's merely been rooted and deodexed, bigxie's ROMs are solid and popular.
If you want a lean, clean, fast ROM with only the most useful modifications, it would be hard to beat Rascarlo's ROMs.
If you want ROMs with mods galore, some of the most popular ones are CyanogenMod, CodenameAndroid, and ParanoidAndroid. But there are plenty of others with dedicated followers.
I'm using Mmuzzy's AOSP 4.2.1 with kmameguy's MODs. I have the nice CM circle percent battery and other MODs, with the stability of 4.2.1 (as stable as it gets ATM) and probably 15-20 hours on battery. I don't think there are a lot of customizations on any 4.2 ROMs yet, as they're dealing mostly with stability issues. I've tried Factory, Vanir's beta, Xylon, and others... none have been super impressive to leave Mmuzzy's...

I did look through the dev section, hence why I'm asking what people run. I don't feel like sitting at my computer all day downloading and flashing roms. I'm really looking for a decent rom thats up to date with AOSP at 4.2.1
No offense but I like to get involvement from people around me and get to know a new community a little better.

I have tried few of the 4.2.1 roms.... But went back to slim 4.1.2 awaiting their update to 4.2.1.
