I just picked up my VZW Galaxy Nexus. I came from an LG Revolution. Wasn't too bad with the custom rom and kernal. So far I have tried a couple of roms and am using the Affinity with Franco kermal. Running great. Any better suggestions on a rom? I have messed with the color controls on the Franco app but still have a slight blueish tint. Any suggestions on that? So many choices, so confusing. Not used to so many options.

Hey a fellow ex lg revo member hey I came from the revo about 4 months ago and I have tested a lot of ROMs but the only one I used constantly day in and day out is Paranoid Android the latest update is 2.13 and I'm loving it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
There sure are a lot more choices with the Gnex than with the Revolution. I am thinking about trying the CNA 3.5 rom.

Here is a shizload of different color options to try. You'll find one that you like I'm sure! :good:

CNA is very nice but I would highly recommend snap black, based off of AOKP

As I am in the process of getting my Nexus Rooted, I can't really decide which ROM to go with. I wan't fast and stable. Im leaning more towards Rev HD but I like the customization and theming options in Open Kang #26.
Which rom are you using and why?
Thanks.
AOKP because it got swagger
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
ARHD because it's stable.
i use ARHD with james bond kernel, it's been 2 months now and still no crash.
Hows your battery life and performance on that combo??

So just got my Gnex about an hour ago, already used the Toolkit to unlock, root, and get recovery. Now, there's SO MANY options out there, im not used to it coming from the G2x, lol. So, I've read up a little about great options, and I seem to want to try AOKP with Franco's kernel. Anyone else want to share their rom+kernel setup?

I have that exact setup you mentioned and it works flawlessly out of the box. Zero issues and zippy.

Best ROM i've ever ran was Stock 4.0.4 IMM76D w/ 007 kernel. Best combo for battery life. If you want to get something different, but still feel somewhat stock-ish...i'd go with Paranoid ROM. Currently running it and it feels just like my Transformer Prime.
I just got mine yesterday and put aokp and Franco on mine(after being struck with a case of the dumb ass) and I love it

Thanks guys, running AOKP+Franco and enjoying every second.

I'm just curious of what ROM you guys are using as a daily driver for your galaxy nexus
I personally use Black Jelly Bean (based on aokp) because I love the true black theme and the inverted gapps
Also I find it one of the most stable ROM out there and battery is pretty solid too!
I wanna here from you guys!

I've tried several but always return to liquid, its the only one I've found that includes all the features I got used to on ICS. Love the theme of black bean but will wait til aokp incorporates more features into JB.

I have been on paranoid android and I like it so far. Forget which kernel I am running. Under about phone it just says unavailable lol. Good battery life so far. Smooth too. tried aokp, bamf and code name android.
Been looking to switch it up though... anyone have a suggestion for a ROM/kernel combo that has a decent amount of features and customization without sacrificing battery??

Liquid/trinity. Auto sync mobile data and auto brightness on the whole time and I just did 21 hours with 4½ display, will add screenshots from laptop in morning.
I wanted a change so I'm now trying rasbean jelly with trinity kernel. As long as battery holds up the same I'll probably stick with this for a few weeks.

I've switched my ROM to official aokp nightly I do like the inverted apps, but I found updates to be to slow so now, I have nightly aokp overclock to 1.4 and still around 4 hours of screen on time!

Yes. Actually I haven't used any of the others lol but I've used all the other ROMs on several other devices and I've always been a fan of cna. Seems to be a great mix between aosp and cm10 without the unnecessary swagger

codename android great rom , plenty of options smooth and good battery life ... would have voted but not listed
Eclipse Rom by Nitroglycerine should be on the list, but either way, I'd vote for it. Not only looks great (black which saves some battery by not lighting up everything) but it has a ton of working features, unlike nearly every other ROM I read about in here. I can't think of any non-working functionality in this ROM.
You can get it here on XDA, (and that other forum), or eclipserom.com -
Need to include cna on the list

Do we really need this thread? There is never a "best" Rom. Everyone has different tastes. Different strokes for different folks. Try them all and make up your own mind.
Hate seeing threads that say one devs work is better than another's. They all work hard at sharing their work...for free.

There are too many ROM's missing from the poll for this to be of any help to anyone.
Like the title says, this isn't about what's "best". It's just to try to get an idea of metrics. As far as I know there's no one tracking how popular any given ROM is, and this won't go a long way to help, but I'm curious.
Please don't check "Yes this is a question" for polls in General. Qs go in Q&A. Edited title.
Thanks

Huh, I'm really surprised there aren't more CyanogenMod users coming through.

From what I've seen CM is more widely used on manufacture skinned devices. Nexus users don't need CM as much as rest of the android world.

DarkPA 2.54 is my daily driver and will be for a while. I keep trying 4.2+ ROMs and I always end up back here. Tablet UI with inverted colors.....love it lol. :thumbup:
I'm running EOS4 nightlies, and EOS3 nightlies before that with very few problems. Check it out, it's a pretty sweet ROM.
Fitsnugly's CM10.1 has been great as always. Tiny's kernel too.

CM10
I'm using pure AOSP with Trinity Kernel. I can say It's awesome.
It seems like all of the 4.2.1 ROMs are still experiencing issues. Is that even true of vanilla AOSP?
right now liquidsmooth with air kernel, but that's bound to change as i can't leave my phone the way it is anymore.
Sorcery for me excellent amount of customization and battery life is great running the stock kernel packaged with the rom I could go on how awesome this rom is.
