Kang vs cyanogen

So thinking about flashing cyanogen on my Gnex and wondering if anyone has feedback from having flashed both?
I'm currently running AOKP and love the rom, it's stable and fast. I'm more or less wondering if cyanogen is currently as stable?
anyways, thanks for your feedback

I'm planning on sticking with AOKP at least until CM9 gets to an actual release (rather than the nightlies). I test out CM9 every week or so (hooray for Boot Manager!) but so far it just doesn't have the feature set that I've come to rely upon. Right now, AOKP has a much better selection of tweaks and features, and I've found it to be damn near rock solid.

I've been using CyanogenMod since the first release a couple months ago. It's always been just as stable as the kangs but lacks the customisation. I still prefer cm9 though, and anxiously await future updates.

imho, codename is really good as well with a combo of fracos kernel

Third, never had an FC, crash, freeze, or reboot. BAMF is another keeper.
If you're referring to a Kang build of CM9, Kangs are built from the same source, but may contain "cherry picks" or changes that haven't been officially merged yet and the builds aren't official. This can occasionally lead to issues; just something to keep in mind.
CM has a lot of custom features that other ROMs don't (profiles, quiet hours, unrooted operation, highly customizable auto brightness (more levels than are available in other ROMs), more intensive colour customization, etc...) but lack (currently) the visual customization that other ROMs have more of.
Each ROM has it's +'s and -'s, depends what YOU want.

I've been using rob43's mod, adds a lot of features into cm9, so the "best of both worlds", i'd say.

Thanks for all the input guys, I did actually flash it, seemed very responsive and I didn't have a problem with it BUT like it's posted above, the features aren't there yet. So I went back to AOKP M4 and will stick with that for a while longer. CM9 felt smoother so once the features are up i'll probably jump ship

CM9 is currently lacking in the customization department. It's nearly stock.

LIQUIDSMOOTH! Amazing.

If I wanted lack of customization I would stick to stock, which is disappointingly lacking in customization.
AOKP won me over. Got it running on both my phones and love it.

I prefer AOKP
Hi Guys,
just to share with you, my point of view after flashing endlessly all kinds of ROMS, upto 8th July 2012,
AOKP and CM are both AOSP based and very similar.
however i clearly feel AOKP is better in terms of Performace, batterylife and importantly CUSTOMIZATION.
a ROM needs to have a 'CUSTOM' feel. AOKP gives its users so many customization options. Please note that similar customizations can be made on CM aswell though file tweaking.
However my advise to some1 who is flashing their phone constantly in-search of the Perfect ROM, i suggest you stick with AOKP and understand that it is the best now.
AOKP is based on AOSP, raw power. Good customization and smoothness in operation.

me too! Swept me off my feet!

AOKP is the one I keep reverting back to after I setup and try new ROMs and I save a backup of them.
Even tried Jelly Belly and really liked it, but it was way too bare bones for me. I can't live without the customization AOKP offers.
Jelly Bean and AOKP should be a great combo once that projects starts.

Best ROM and kernel which aren't nightlies?

I am no fan of nightlies and only look for stable versions. Currently, I run stock 4.0.4 but am looking into flashing a stable ROM and kernel. I tried AOKP nightly and a franco kernel nightly but want a stable release.
I've heard a lot of good things about AOKP Milestone 4 and Franco's Milestone 2 kernel, but what do you think? I'd like CM9, but there are only nightlies released so far.
What ROM and kernel work best for you that aren't nightly builds, i.e "stables" or "milestones?"

I personally haven't seen ANY problems on the newest AOKP.
I think the buglist on 32 is literally down to 2 things that people have found...
Pressing "reset navbar" causes a SystemUI FC loop.
Fix: Don't press it? All it does is return your navbar back to stock settings. You can do this manually in 5 quick button presses if you really wanted to anyway.
Torch will enable...but not disable...when used from the "power menu" (the menu that pops up when you hold power.
Fix: Remove torch option from power menu...use toggles instead. Or, toggle "off" with the status-bar toggle if you wish.

You see, I don't like nightly builds or builds which are updated every second day.
That's the thing about nightlies. One fix for one bug may break another feature and fixing that might break a third feature. I have had previous experiences with nightlies on my old Nexus One and therefore I want to have a stable release.
I appreciate your input and it's been noted. If many people happen to recommend the nightly builds I might just try them.
I love this phone and have nothing to complain about. It's a huge step up from the N1.

While that may remain true...
And I appreciate the fact that you're a purist...
I'm generally THE bug-finder for AOKP builds.
The devs even seem to take note of my posts...and have PM'ed me a few times asking for logs/details/tests/etc.
Clean flashing (obviously) and I haven't found anything in the last couple days.
Also, while these "builds" are technically "nightlies" in that they're pulled for us at random, it seems...
They also don't occur every night (as you may be well aware) so if the daily flashing drives you away...it'll be more like weekly with AOKP if you want to stay up-to-date.
Gosh.
I never ever recommend a rom to people asking. Generally just tell 'em to "find your zen" on your own...
But I just wanted to emphasize the stability here.
Edit:
Oh, and builds 31/32 are prequels to another Milestone build. So if you don't find something you like by then...Milestone 5 is always a possibility.
I don't know if there will be a 33 first...
But Roman mentioned we're fast-approaching one.

Lol, just that you like everything to "just work" and be completely stable.

Well that's not entirely true, and I guess I somehow worded it wrong. I want a ROM that's stable, kinda lika OTA-stable but anything near a stable OTA is fine by me. The part where it "just works" it not really 100% accurate as I wouldn't choose android as my OS if I wanted stuff to "just work".
Some customization has to be done for me, whether it's homescreen editing or overclocking and whatnot.
Either I worded it wrong or you misunderstood, but I consider the first option since I'm not speaking English natively.

We honestly need to ban "what's the best rom" topics...

I've decided I want to run a nightly now, after spending hours and hours of checking ROMs, and I think it's safe to say I'll choose between either CM9 and AOKP.
Then it comes down to what kernel to use.
I am really sorry for being such a pain in the rear for you guys.

My preferences in order of quality, stability and speed.
LiquidSmooth 1.2 (default imo kernel)
BAMF 1.2
Foxhound 0.4
AOKP m4

Liquidsmooth 1.25 + Trinity - Bomb Proof.
May test out a new rom soon but liquid has everything I need so dont see a reason to switch expect the fact to see what other roms has to offer. Still waiting on CM9 to get few more features.

I only use the stable Rooms/Kernels myself. I been using AOKP build 32 and used Tuna-faux 123 and had no issues or problems. I am noe using the stable version of Franco's Kernel. And again, no issues. I used to always use regular CM but after using AOKP I just keep using it. I know there's all kinds of roms built off of AOKP as others. But I just use the stock versions of ROMS. Like stock CM9 or AOKP and not a ROM built off of it.
There's a lot of great choices out there. Find what works best for you and your device.

AOKP 32 with Latest Stable Lean Kernel with Interactivex governor = Best battery and performance!

Honestly I'm loving AOKP M3 and Leankernel 3.0.0. I had battery issues with francos and stuck with it till about #13, then switched to lean and never looked back. My battery life has improved dramatically and performance is still no problem

With regard to AOKP's stability, I used to stay up to date with it but I think I might just start looking for the milestones, mostly because I think I don't end up using the vast majority of features they introduce with every build. I also got hit with that systemui bug in 32 and ended up just reverting to 31 before the devs posted a workaround because it made the phone unusable. I think I got a little comfy assuming that the beta line was generally stable.
I've been thinking of trying Liquidsmooth when they release the newer 1.3, which based on the chatter in its thread sounds like it will be soon.
As far as kernels go, I think leankernel is the way to go if you're a fan of stable releases. The stable branch probably sees an update about once a week with new features. I don't use franco's kernel mostly because the milestone releases are so far and few between, but apparently he's working with the liquid team for optimizing their rom, so maybe franco M3 and liquid 1.3 will be a nice combo to settle into when those hit.

you'll have to go to rootzwiki for it ... try GLaDOS kernel too while you're there i swear by it (after trying them all)
... at least for me imo CM9 + GLaDOS are my picks i always come back to them every time (so far)

[Discussion]What ROM are you using and why?

This isn't really a question, but a discussion of what ROM you are using and why, that''s why I don't think this should be in the Q&A section.
I've tried a few ROMs, from LiquidSmooth to AOKP and I've tried a few kernels as well, from Glados to Franco and I've made up my mind.
I think AOKP is the best ROM right, and Milestone 5 being the best build of AOKP. It has a good battery life, awesome performance, and a massive amount of settings. I though about mentioning CM9 first, since it also has good battery speed and awesome performance, but it doesn't have all those features I need.
The best kernel to go with AOKP is undoubtedly Franco's kernel and his best build is the Milestone 3. I have tried Imoseyon's kernel, Trinity kernel and Galdos kernel and Franco's is still the best one. Also having Franco's kernel updater app makes everything even better!
Of course, this is all personal, which means this is what I think and you may have a mix that work better for you. I just though I'd share my input. Now, please share your input.

BAMF Paradigm or my own AOSP build. I don't mess with kernels much past what comes with rom (Not to say others shouldn't). I have been using imnut's pbj kernel the last few days, however.
Reasoning: Not so many tweaks that they end up conflicting with each other, time was taken to use proper signing keys, and the modifications are thoroughly tested before release.
I don't tell people what to use, as I let them make up their own mind. Just know I don't use anything I deem poor quality.

Got my nexus one week ago. flashed the most popular Roms here (but cm9) and was kinda disappointed. Coming from a galaxy s2 with roms full of bugs I expected the nexus roms to be stable because of the open nexus. But most of the roms been unstable and buggy for me too.
Now I found a good combination of Rom and kernel:
Bamf and glados kernel.
So far the most stable and battery saving combination for me. Using it since 24 hours and no FC or freezes so far. Think I'll stick with it.
Mods are cool too I just don't like the quick settings look in the notification bar and the not modable power menu. But I can live with that.

It's gonna be real hard for me to adapt with another ROM other than AOKP, if I ever switch to some other ROM ^^

AOKP Milestone 5, but I'm switching to the Paranoid Android. Love the 'hybrid' tablet/phone mix

I'm currently running Liquidsmooth with Imoseyon's kernel. I was planning to try a lot more Roms and kernel combos than I currently have but been a bit too busy lately to test each one thoroughly. I'm happy with Liquidsmooth, it has very few issues and I'm getting 2 days battery life (minimum) with moderate usage.
Next time I get a decent chance I will try out a few more

Aokp franco.
Most of all other roms take features from aokp. Like liquid smooth who renamed rom control to liquid control

I'm using liquid smooth with the provided kernel. USB tethering isn't working but the lightweight and zippy feel of the from beats everything out there. I also have a nandriod of Paranoid Android, miui.us, Imm30b, and aokp just in case they improve enough to be worthy of a couple weeks on my phone. The aokp launcher IMHO hesitates too much.

I tried almost everything we have for now and stick to Modaco ROM because it's the smoothest of all, other roms are greatly customisable like CM9 or AOKP but they all lag here and there and i can't stand it/ The battery life is almost similar in all roms and it depends more on kernel you've chosen. I'm fine with franco milestone3. However I don't use nightlies because every of them gave me a random reboot at least once.

To each their own. I am not asking you to.

I have been rocking Bamf for the last few weeks. Really good with maybe 1 fc. Stock kernel wasn't giving me great battery so testing out Bond kernel right now. Getting slightly better battery results.
Have also tried Liquidsmooth, Modaco, and cm9. All pretty good but not as stable I find.
Have never tried Aokp. Crazy I know.

AOKP vs Cyanogen 9 vs Slim ICS?

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.

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.

Agreed, CM9 has really been picking up speed now that the new build servers are online. Can't wait for the theme chooser implementation in the new builds ...

To all the AOKP Lovers out there

I havent had the sgs3 for too long I am currently running the latest jb mr1-build 5. I tried Jamisons march 15 build and it is just as good. I do love being on the bleeding edge of things but right now I need my phone to be stable and I cant keep switching roms and stuff. So I ask you what is the most stable AOKP rom for this phone in your opinion. I figured I woulf start with JB milestone 1. I would rather not go to ics unless it is dramatically better. I know that The ICS version of AOKP had alot more features for the sgs2 but I think that since this device has JB from the factory offically it should be just as stable. And I am not saying mr1 build 5 is not stable but it keeps freezing and having random reboots and the phone part keeps freezing. Other things I can handle but right now I need my phone for business and cant have it messin with me.
Thanks for your opinions

I'm running Jamison's Mar15 build with ktoonsez KT747 kernel. It's solid for me. No issues so far. Have you tried his LTS build, which is stable build that he put out for those not wanting to flash the nightlies?

Anything from Jamison is going to be stable. I'm running his 3/18 ROM and haven't had any problems.

Thanks for youyr opinions. I was using the latest builds but I kept haveing some issues with the phone dialer part. Nothing really major. Usually I am the guy who is up all night waiting for the latest to come out. But at the moment I need no issues so that is what I am looking for. I found it with AOKP JB milestone 1. It is 4.1 so it reflects what stock is. I find that once a phone gets an update to say 4.1 from 4.0 the AOSP roms get more stable. I dont know if it is true or if it makes sence to anyone it is just something I noticed. So far I havent had any issues with AOKP JB milestone 1. As soon as I can I will go back to the nightlies and 4.2 but for now its 4.1 for me. Again thanks for the input I never really do anything without asking this community. Amazing how much I have come to trust a bunch of people I never met before but I do.

Another good one is the LTS release, pretty darn stable and solid battery. AOKP is definitely my fav custom AOSP

I havent had the sgs3 for too long I am currently running the latest jb mr1-build 5. I tried Jamisons march 15 build and it is just as good. I do love being on the bleeding edge of things but right now I need my phone to be stable and I cant keep switching roms and stuff. So I ask you what is the most stable AOKP rom for this phone in your opinion. I figured I woulf start with JB milestone 1. I would rather not go to ics unless it is dramatically better. I know that The ICS version of AOKP had alot more features for the sgs2 but I think that since this device has JB from the factory offically it should be just as stable. And I am not saying mr1 build 5 is not stable but it keeps freezing and having random reboots and the phone part keeps freezing. Other things I can handle but right now I need my phone for business and cant have it messin with me.
Thanks for your opinions

official build 5. build 6 freezes and drains battery -__-

Weird that you're getting freezes and resets using JB-MR1 Build 5. I've been using it for about a month with no problems at all. Solid as a rock. Build 6, as has been said, is kind of flaky. Although to be fair, it is a known issue for our phone.
US Galaxy S3 variants (d2s) may be unstable due to the new 3.4 based kernel

This is my first experience with AOKP. I had been running stock (rooted) since I got the phone 6 months ago, and I probably wouldn't have moved off of it except I got caught in a freeze/reboot loop and had to do a factory reset. On my Nexus One, I was a big CM 7 fan. But with all the reported issues with CM 10.1 on the GS3, I decided not to even try it.
