Hello, im thinking about flashing a new rom on my phone but just wanted to get some input on which is the fastest / stable rom for galaxy nexus LTE version.. any input would be great thanks
I'm using the latest ARHD and love it. I haven't tried anything else so can't compare but I have no reason to flash anything different considering this is pretty perfect.

I'm running GummyNex 0.2.9. It has great support (updated every night that I've been running it so far) and includes a few minor tweaks that add to the experience. Probably my favorite thing about it is that it includes an OC/UV kernel (that is kept updated, as well), so it makes installation of everything even easier.
I'm running zygotes 1.9 . Tried gummynex and arhd both excellent roms as well. Bench marked highest with zygotes so I am sticking with this for now. If you want stability #1 I'd say arhd.

Which ROM is has great battery life and is the most stable/fast. I do like mods too and stuff I just don't know which to flash to get the SMOOTHEST and fastest experience plus better battery life. I'm on a 4.0.2 right now I should probably go to a 4.0.3?

Personally, I'd go with ARHD. I've used it on my Transformer, and once I finally get around to flashing my device, that'll be the first (and most likely) only rom I put on it. Mike does a great job with his ROM's, and I haven't found one (especially on my Transformer) that I like more.
That's just my opinion. As usual, YMMV, but it's what I'd use.

This is what I'm about to flash. Looked through all the roms on xda and rootwiki and this seems to be the best

can't go wrong with Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast 4.0.3. His roms are always stable, he has a lot of experience. His roms are also on Rom Manager, which makes it easy too. He also has 4.0.2 & 4.0.1 builds
Galaxy Nexus Bugless Beast 4.0.3 cdma
What's the best overall? I'm on arhd and its pretty good just want to really know what's best. Arhd needs a 4.0.3.

The best IMO is Zygot3 v2.0 its really smooth and great on battery life. 2nd runner up is Android Revolution HD v2.1.2. I chose Zygot3 because battery, life the T9 dialer, notification toggles, advanced power menu and modded launcher that has a settings button.
I was using RootzBoat v4 from and it was great. I got the urge and flashed a CM9 kang.
IMO the CM9 kang is iffy. Works well but getting issues where apps just randomly close. Maybe a memory issue. It comes with notification toggles and the CM9 T9 dialer which is sweet.
Rootzboat was pretty smooth. I have a backup of it. I had a battery percentage mod and CM9 T9 Dialer. No notification toggles though.
Widgetsoid toggles are flaky. They work better in CM9.
Honestly just backup your current from and start going hog wild. Almost all rooms work with 100% functionality except MIUI. Some are just more stable then others.

I installed Android Revolution HD yesterday and I'm liking it, I'm noticing a bit less lag when scrolling between screens than I was on stock. I'm also seeing a little better battery life, I'm guessing 10-12 hours, where I was seeing 5-8 hours before. This ROM is worth checking out as there aren't a ton of options at the moment. This should hold me over until CM9!
Which is the best out there right now.
Cm10
AOKP
AOSP
Paranoidandroid
Miui

they all seem to bacily be the same to me...meaning they almost look and act alike..EXCEPT the paranoidandroid.. This lets me change the look so that its like running TABLET JB on my phone....Everything fits inside...almost like having a 4.5" tablet or mini computer monitor in my hand....great if you want EVERYTHING to fit in the screen....controls apps the same way.. you can chose which ones to run say in Phone mode or Tablet mode.....AOKP has a few nick nacks to play with as well....i havent tried miui yet, But i will....IM not sure dude, just have to play with each one and see what you like best...ONE thing ill tell you is this... DOWNLOAD and install ROOT UNINSTALLER, and Debload the rom a little...it does MIRACALS for batt life!!! trust me in this one!

Best thing to do is to download, flash, and test drive each to make your opinion. Because each users experiance will vary from one to the next. So all in all it's how you use the phone. Sure it's alot of time and redownloading but in the end, ya may find what you like.

If you go CM10, don't go past the 9/17 nightly because all the ones past that are buggy. I get way better battery on CM10 than I ever did on stock ICS. Not sure why/how.
Is the el26 kernel still the norm for flashing jb roms? Its been awhile since i've flashed anything. Blu Kuban has been good to me. I figured I'd just make a nandroid and try some jb on this phone. Would restoring apps via titanium backup from ICS be okay going to JB? I guess I can always restore my nandroid at anytime anyways.

I've been flashing on FI03, no issues as of yet. Always safe to make a backup first.. haven't used Titianium lately, but i believe it is working correctly with JB since there are only a few changes between the two.
Cm10 9/20 is great
been using cm10s nightlys and everything is flawless except the battery doesn't report correctly. drops pretty quick if you leave your data on. im on the 9/20 build as a dd and i love it. definitely recommend a try
I am currently running AOSP JB on the CWM recovery and kernel that the ROM came with, I should be able to wipe and flash the Paranoidandroid ROM with no problems right?
I've been wondering about the differences between AOSP, CM10, and AOKP(JB). I've tried them all and they all run pretty much identical as in smoothness, quickness. The only difference I can see are the different settings you get with CM10 and AOKP (things like changing how toggles look, notification bar look, etc). But as far as battery life, signal, speeds.. I can't tell if there is anything different.
So my question is that do the different ROMs try to do anything in terms of increasing battery life or speed? (Battery Life is probably the most important factor for me) I don't really do any personalizations other than those already available on AOSP (alpha6.) So is it worthwhile to run any other ROM as my daily driver? Do they provide better battery life? Although I've ran all three, I obviously didn't use them identically so I can't say for sure they have the same battery life.
I've tried searching but I couldn't really find anything on this or maybe I didn't understand it. I'm kinda new to this. Been playing with these roms for 3-4 weeks now and I'm definitely liking JB over ICS.
mp6 these roms all have a similar base at the moment so yes they perform very similar. The best rom is the one that works best for you. I recently installed Codename yesterday and like it a lot so far. Working on tweaking it for better battery life at the moment. Getting rid of beautiful widgets and switching to inverted gapps seems to have helped so far today.
hi im new to all this rooting and flashing roms and right now i have cm10 installed and running smoothly but i want to get android 4.2 and i want to know what the best and most stable rom out there is the last time i flashed the rom i used goomanager and did it only using my phone so if possible a rom that i can find in goomanager and also can i also have touchwiz installed i liked that about the stock s3 and the rom i have right now doesnt have touchwiz...thank you
I have used root box slim and task and I keep jumping back to tasks 4.2 ROM. You gotta try them yourself every phone seems to work different and you won't know until u try..
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
More or less you just have to research about each different rom and see which you think fits you best. Read the threads and comments, bugs, fixes, updates, etc. Watch and read reviews and pick one you think does what you need it to.
OK is it better to get the nightly builds or stable builds... I don't want a lot of crashes

If you don't want a lot of bugs and such i would go with the stable builds.
You wld have to read the change logs to see.. But I would stick to stable.

Task650 4.2.1 ROM is by far the best out there, he is one of the best developers on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684&nocache=1
To reiterate, your best bet is to test a few for yourself. I personally am a huge fan of Task650s AOKP 4.2.1. It is perfectly stable and full of options to suit your needs.
i would also recommend tasks aokp 4.2.1 really smooth daily driver
i have the same question, what rom can you recommend? battery life is a big factor for me. thanks.
Task's is good yet I really enjoyed vanilla rootbox as well. I'm not a huge fan of the look of AOKP in general but either would be a nice place to start. If you do decide to go back to a 4.1.2 ROM all your files are stored in a directory called "0" so you will need to use a file explorer to move them back to the main folder.
task's 4.2.1 for sure
For me, toss up between Root box and LiquidSmooth
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
For me rootbox
SGSlll AT&T
My advice is try them out.
No one phone is alike and no one user is alike
Battery and performance rely more on the user than the kernel/ROM
Don't expect the battery to last days if your screen is going to be on A LOT..expect a couple hours of juice..
And don't expect maximum performance with out a modified kernel and trying to conserve battery.
I'm on RootBox with KT kernel all balanced out...
Try your own OC/Voltage setting to what you'll be happy with
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No ROM is best because no 4.2 has working bluetooth Lol but yeah I think out of the available options, Task's for sure.
i think i have a bug or addiction to flashing new roms i am all new to the android scene and i have had my phone for about a month and all i do is swap rom every other day. Iv'e got the bug man!! the best rom i have found that works for me is the Wicked rom Port from T-Mobile i had 1d and 5hours use on a full battery the other day i also like the galaxymod rom too but cant get reception i did at first then lost it on the second day
those are my 2 favorites if you like TW based roms..
A search would have answered this. Thread closed

I have no idea why but when 4.2.2-based ROMs came out, my phone started to run like garbage. Slowdowns, lag, memory leaks, you name it, it happened. And it seemed to have started with 4.2.2. I don't ever remember this being a problem with 4.1.2-based ROMs.
So I ask... has anyone else experienced these issues? Does your phone run like garbage on 4.2.2-based ROMs?
I've been thinking of going back to a 4.1.2-based ROM just to try and get back some of the speed that my phone used to have. There are times I want to throw this thing against the wall because lately trying to get it to do anything without seriously bad lag is like trying to pull teeth.
You people overreact to everything. If its so bad, and you knew it was going to be bad, then why in the world did y'all upgrade to 4.2.2?
Try UDKs ROM, works fine for me
I'm thinking that 4.2.2 may be too heavy for the hardware of the Galaxy Nexus. 4.1.2 never was this slow and laggy on this phone.

considering my phone runs just fine 4.2.2 on stock rom, its prolly the rom you're running.
I think 4.2.2 runs great. Compare it to the original 4.0 ics firmware it blows it out of the water.

Does it not even lag after running it for a few days without reboot? That is the issue many people are seeing and 4.2.2 is smoother than ICS for the most part except the recents may sometimes lag worse on 4.2.2. The worse part of ICS was the unlock lag with auto brightness on.

4.2.2 is running super smooth for me. I dont know what all these people having issues is all about. It all depends on what ROM you use, and also could be the recovery you use. If your using an old recovery, it may not be wiping stuff right before flashing. A lot of factors go into a phone running crappy. Dont blame it all on 4.2.2.

This issue only happens on custom roms because its an issue with stock though maybe less noticeable there.
But as far as the OPs comments, if you're annoyed by 4.2.2 so much then switch back to 4.1.2 if you like it better.

I got the OTA yesterday for my VZW GNex and it's running great. So far, it's a better experience than 4.1 for me. Battery life seems the same (in a good way) and the UI is acting smoother than before.

Not really. Try not to reboot your 4.2.2-based rom for 2-3 days and you'll see the real smoothness (Sometimes it take couple of hours sometimes couple of days to reproduce the issue). I've tested 6 roms so far including non-rooted, slimmed stock - Low fps scrolling issue appears on every single one, clean install and always updated twrp recovery.
I think android 4.2.2 is an interesting project and it works not that bad. However there are some annoying bugs there. I don't use WIFi tethering or BT and I know how to deal with scrolling lag so it doesn't bother me that much. I can patiently wait for fix but problems exist and full wipe will not solve them.
my only issue is the battery drain lol thats all
I've got a epic 4g touch and I'm running cm10.1 wild for the night 4.2.2 and it works perfectly! Way faster than before.

I use WiFi tethering and Bluetooth on Rasbean/Trinity 4.2.2 and don't have any issues even after 2-3 days. Only issue I had initially was major lag in recents after a couple days. Rebooted and haven't had that problem since, even after several days uptime.

There is already a thread about the lag problem on roms based on 4.2.2 update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178962 and I confirm the lag.after 2-3 days ui starts to lag.everything gets better if you flash ak kernel diamond ed plus download clean master app by ksmobile from play store and you open it/go to history and clean cache once a day.The second thing that i found is that if you change the wallpaper when the lag start it goes away.hope this helps.good luck! Also the problem was reported to google

4.0 < 4.2 < 4.2.1 < 4.1 < 4.2.2 < 4.1.2.
4.1.2 has been the smoothest version of stock in all the time I've been using Android. If 4.2.2 seems that bad, try running Lagfix once.
I've been on cm 10.1 nightlies (4.2.2) for awhile now and no lags/slowdowns whatsoever. Aside from the SOD when I first tried it (fixed now), it has been just as smooth if not smoother than 4.1.2
Sv: Anyone else's phone run like garbage on 4.2.2?

Cm10.1 is not bad indeed (I am running it now and I'm pretty much enjoying it) but 4.1.2 based roms like cna 3.8.0 or cm10 are by far smoother. If you want to see the difference in smoothness go to application drawer (widget tab) and swipe left or right. On every 4.2.2 based rom swiping there is more or less but still kinda choppy.... On two 4.1.2 roms I mentioned above it's almost perfect. Small thing.

in my case it was franco kernel that caused the super bad performance.
the problem was coming from write performance which caused cpu overloading and locking down the device. this got worse after some time without reboot ~2days.
i did a clean install of sourcery rom with cmw (twrp seems to leave some stuff behind which will cause the lag again?) and so far my device is up for some time without any slowdowns.
maybe you once installed a kernel and use twrp which never got you a clean rom again? hope that helps some of you troubled ones.

You don't really need a special ROM or kernel to do that for the most part. But if you're fishing for suggestions, I prefer stock ROM with Dalvik+Bionic libs and Xposed+GravityBox, with francos kernel so far.
Everyone is going to have their preferences, so be prepared to see a bunch in 3...2...1...
Thanks for reply. I think, as per my usage, I don't have to go in deep. I might use nova launcher and go locker.
