I know this question will cause some debate but what would you say is the best rom for the galaxy nexus?
ARHD

What does that mean??
You didn't see a rom in the dec section that might be abbreviated ARHD? Or any of the other "what's the best rom" threads, for that matter?

How about AOKP? Try that abbreviation
Terminators run on Android
I'm using rootzboat. I'm really good.

Definitely Android Revolution HD (ARHD). I tried others but none were as sweet as ARHD.
I used android revolution but was tired of being on 4.0.2 as the developer was waiting for Google to drop 4.0.3 binaries.
And Franco's kernel was for 4.0.3 only. So I started using Aokp and I simply love it. Aokp + Franco Kernel is a amazing mix for performance and battery.
Aokp also adds new features such as power saver to help with battery and with various status bar tweaks.
Aokp +, Franco kernel.... Nothing gets any better. Also Aokp pushes updates every other day so you can expect goodies every 3-5 days.

Always use Paul O'Brien Modaco roms. They simply work and let you get on with customising your phone.

RootzBoat is by far my favorite. I like how it stay's true to AOSP and just adds little extras. Nothing too fancy and feels smooth.
I haven't installed one yet...I'm looking at Android Revolution and AOKP right now, but leaning toward the latter because I'd love to give Franco's a shot. Problem is I'm kind of thinking I should just wait for 4.0.3 to drop and go from there. I'd like to get it the day it drops, if possible.
Right now I'm just using stock rooted+unlocked with the 4.0.3 radio firmware. I'd love to install some graphical mods (mainly a status bar battery mod) but can't on Stock =(

I used arhd since getting the phone. But wanted 4.0.3. So switched to aokp. But for some reason had delays when unlocking the phone. And sometimes when typing. Tried wiping etc. No joy
So I am now using eagles blood with Franco kernal and can't fault it at all. Fb sync and the lock screen and great features.
For a perfect from I would want the power saver and UI mods of aokp. With the cm9 launcher mods. And the eb lock screen. Someone want to make it for me!

Haven't tried any others, but Axiom is great. Wait for 2.4 update for VZW services fix though.
AOKP looks cool. They have the HC quick settings menu and a slew of options. Pretty slick.
RootzBoat has a good rom too with lots of options. I just hate how they label everything RootzBoat (wallpaper, carrier id, etc). I'm also using AOSP CM9 Kangs too. They're all fun. I typically flip between them when one has a few feature that I like.
RootzBoat has a Centered clock option, notification LED color options, and a 4-way lockscreen... but no notification toggles.
I get awesome battery on my CM9 Kang. BIG difference between it and RootzBoat.
I also noticed that MIUI was updated yesterday to a pretty usable state. I haven't personally tried it, and there are some bugs still, but it should be useable now.
AOKP rocks! But I cant wait to see how CM9 develops. They have to add something special to make me leave AOKP.
Me too I've tried other 4.0.3 but to me they just don't compare to the constant smoothness of ARHD

I agree! This rom + franco's kernel waaayyy better than ARHD..... Love the quick toggles and being able to customize without having to flash or "bake" roms....
Another aokp here...it rocks!

Works great. This is what stock should have been. Great work.
Cant remember which ROM im using but its one of the AOSP deodexed ones. Broke my lockscreen widgets and my Google Now (keeps asking for me to turn location access on even though it is on)
Otherwise it works great! Nice work.

But im using a Gsm Gnex? why would i go into a verizon thread??? Thank you mod for fetching this to everyone else with a gnex if you had not made this thread i would have not seen it
Hmm tried it on bigxis deodexed ROM and nothing works system ui force closes
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
It really does work on GSM ROM. But I met a problem that I described in Verizon thread, when I flashed again with this mod after trying another SystemUI.apk which screwed up, nothing could be go back well.
Finally I got this back after I wiped everything and flashed back again to stock deodexed JB 4.2 ROM.
There is only two files,SystemUI.apk and quicksetting.apk, I am very confused about my problem.
Also doesnt play nice with that newest navbar dpi mod for 4.2. Im using the 32dpi and my back button has gone back to normal size, but still confined to within the 32dpi size...if that makes any sense.

It seems that you has the same of my problem.
Try go back to clean stock deodexed rom （Ndroid everything ),reboot system and go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache after flashing this mod, then reboot. It does work.
Nobody has had the same problem as me with Google Now?

Just to say I advised the OP to post this here as hiding it away in the Verizon section was a waste, especially as it appears to be a global mod which people will find helpful

I know bigxie deodexed rom is clean stock. I mean you could try to flash bigxie rom again to initialize system. I faced this problem and fixed by this method.
Does this mod works with an AOKP ROM?

Yeah I'm back on AOKP. Much happier now.
Does AOKP have the CM problem of data loss when handing off between LTE/4G/3G?

Unfortunately I don't have 4g in my area . 3g works fine.
AOKP itself is awesome. The only problem is the developer for Ktoonz and etc. version of the rom don't actually own a sprint GS3. Its pretty much just a build/port without any real support or updates.
Where's the zip for this to work on TW ROMs?

Does anyone truly like it? I find the extra page for toggles to be an annoyance to get to, and requires extra time. It just looks nice. The lock-screen also defeats all purpose of having a lock screen, and removes useful shortcuts (I know these can be added in through some cm or aokp builds but still). I didn't think it was possible for a new android version to really take a step back in terms of functionality but 4.2 really did. Scrolling isn't nearly as good as it was in 4.1 as well. But this is all my opinion, I'm interested to hear what you guys think. I'm looking to drop back to 4.1, and I'm hoping key lime pie gets rid of lock-screen widgets

Yes I like it. And a few milliseconds don't hurt. I don't think android took steps back, it took 3+ steps ahead.

I like it.. Looks pretty good.
Although, I do agree somewhat with the lockscreen. When I had messages as one of the pages on the lockscreen, I wish I could just text them from there. But instead, you press it and it goes to the messaging app instead.
Agreed. With lockscreen and toggles. If I remember correctly though, pure AOSP that ships on nexus devices prior to 4.2 didn't have toggles. That's a luxury that was only afforded to root users. So really it was a step forward.
In my opinion though, they should have implemented CM's toggles and called it good.

I love it, So much smoother at least when it comes to cm10 vs cm10.1 depends on the ROM you are using, Baked Black Bean its amazing and there are quite a few new 4.2 ROMs out in the last couple weeks
I dunno, I'm using the first aokp build that came out and its stuttering like crazy, especially the xda app

I love 4.2 on my phone, i just flashed it but my only concern is battery life and how that will ruin my fresh clean battery.
Also i dislike the lockscreen options and wished you could turn those off!

Root box is the only 4.2 ROM that I think has good battery life ! After flashing and trying out other ROMs I stick with root box. I only needed one time charger all day long .

I'm getting 3.5 or so screen time consistently with black bean. I'm actually getting better battery life than ICS out the box and with the same installed apps. Smooth performance too. I'm liking 4.2 so far. I do miss the TW calendar and music player. They seemed to work the best for me. Tethering is also been hit or miss. Nothing a big deal breaker for me though.

I was using Sniper's Baked BlackBean ROM and I loved it but the only thing that's preventing me to stay with it is the limited 4G speed so I went back to Kobridge's Stock ROM.
In response to people who dislike the newly implemented toggles page: just swipe your notification bar with two fingers and voilà, straight to toggles.
Don't thank me, I figured it out from a review video myself (QBKing77 I believe, but I could be wrong). But should save you that extra second you were complaining about...

I think it is nice but, something they could have included in the original Jelly Bean instead of making a separate Jelly Bean version.
Does tethering always work for free on Cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 Wild for the night?
