[Q] Galaxy Nexus CM9

I am currently using a Sensation, however I will likely be purchasing a GNEX in the next week or two. I have become accustomed to flashing different ROMs on my Sensation so I wanted to know if a stable (not nightly) version of CM9 was currently available for this device. I checked on the CM site and its a bit hard to determine what is nightly vs stable, so I figured I would ask around here. Thanks in advance, and I hope to be joining the discussions on this forum soon!

no phones have a non-nightly version. NO RC1 version has came out for CM9 regardless of what phone it is.
aokp is really stable + more features than cm9.

Cm9 is stable and fast.

Pretty much what he said. Go through the roms features and change log and you can answer that question on your own.

CM9 newest nightly is always the best f it is newer than RC!
on ZTE Blade I flash always the newest nightly of CM7...
Does GN CM9 Nightly (newest) use the Android 2.3 Gingerbread CM7 music player? If I remember fine then it is using that..

Please, use CM9 AND DONT USR AOKP! We don't need another thread about someone complaining about something not working or horrible battery drain...etc...etc. CM9 is leaps and bounds faster and more stable.

I disagree, AOKP is very stable. It has many features. Don't take what people says. Its about personal preference

I came from the Sensation and while Vorbeth did a nice job with Opensensation, the nightly CM9 I'm running is VERY excellent. The only bugs I saw when I skimmed thru the thread were with people trying to run custom kernels.
And to be honest, the stock ROM was kicking ass too. There's nothing like having a phone that's truly open to unlock and have fun with. Plus, there are no bugs with certain components usually found in phones with sense or touchwiz. Bluetooth, camera, video recording and HD playback WORK exactly the way they're supposed to.
From this point forward, I will only buy a nexus device. I'm not trying to convince you, just giving my honest opinion.

Who actually likes the stock ROM

Hey guys, new here, been lurking for a long time...
Just wondering, I've rooted but decided to keep stock ROM. I'd like to wait untill JB comes along before I try any other ROMS. I actually quite enjoy stock. Do most people prefer that, or do you guys try different ROMS the first chance you get? What do you think the ratio is here?

Samsung did a great job on Stock.. I'm sure the bait is those smart features. I miss them the most, and otherwise it's stable and its fast even without jellybean.

I love the stock based roms! I like trying all the flavors out there, but thus far these are my faves.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

The stock ROMs are great (those smart features are great). However, there is so.etching about the elegance of vanilla android that is so addictive. The jb ROMs are really fast and quite stable with great battery life.

I love the stock ROM. I'm playing with a cm10 nightly right now,and after about 5 hours of use I'm headed back to stock,lol. AOSP is great but TW has so many features & its 100% stable, so that makes it hard for anything not as stable to compete w/ it IMO.

I love stock

I'm not gonna mess with ROMs since no rom is as stable as stock. I don't like touchwiz tho

I like stock for stability and smart features. That doesn't mean I'm using the garbage touchwiz interface though.

What exactly are you disappointed about? Try the latest official builds of cm10 or aokp. Not a nightly or a kang.. an official build.

Try Paranoid, it looks pretty wild!

SHHHH!!!! You're not allowed to say that!
I've done the same as you. The only change I've made to stock is run nova launcher to make it a bit more purdy and personalized.
Minco is pretty nice since it's really close to stock but faster, but in the end I'd rather just run stock for peace of mind (not that Minco was unstable).

Stock based roms perform the best in my opinion. Although Bamf Paradigm and Wasabi Miui run well for me, if I run them with trinity 1344 kernel.
IMO It seems like CM and AOKP stay in the nighties phase for way too long, and bugs and stability issues take too long to fix. This has been the case on most phones I have owned. They are great innovative roms though. I find it rare when a Rom with loads and loads of features runs as good as stock based roms do. I love having features, but performance, stability and battery life are above all features for me. I can just find mods myself anyways and add them as I need.

If stock is what works best for you, run stock, there's nothing wrong with that.

Why do you want people to change your mind?

The last ROM flashed was team baked black ROM it was OK but the force issues became very annoying .I was just asking am I doing something wrong when flashing ? I don't seem to get the same user experience from using jelly bean.There is only one feature I've used that isn't stock is fast reply which I think is brilliant and will definitely be in 4.2

Fast reply, I don't even know what that is but anyway, Android comes down to user preference, if you enjoy stock, then rock it dude, I've tried only a handful of roms here but stock gives the most solid performance 9 out of ten times. granted I'm running Slimbean now, but I like to flash every two weeks and this rom is pretty great aside from bootup time XD.

i just hit 260h with no reboots. custom built from src, JRO03R, maguro. rock stable so far. gcc 4.7.0.
just saying, stock can be rock stable, and still be fast and responsive, if you're willing to tweak it and spend time testing it.

I've tweaked till the cows come home but I think Google have totally cracked it to be honest and early reports about 4.2 seem to suggest they've went one more step in terms of speed and look .The quick reply feature is in cm10 when you receive a SMS you get a pop up window at anytime so you can instantly reply ,must be enabled tho .

ICS Update

When is the update for the DINC2 comming out anyone hear anything?
Sent from my Droid Razr Maxx using Tapatalk 2

We have a thread about this, but it's admittedly long and off-topic.
In short, it's not looking good. HTC said we'd get the update in August, but it appears Verizon is holding it back. Our sister phone, the Incredible S, has been updated to ICS and even has kernel source available. On the Incredible 2 all we've got is a leaked testing build courtesy of nitsuj17. At this point, I doubt we'll see an official OTA at all, but HTC and Verizon haven't yet said they won't.
You can try a custom ROM for ICS or Jelly Bean, but without 3.0 kernel source we won't get ROMs that are fully optimized for our device (battery life, drivers, etc). I personally use Aeroevan's unofficial port of CyanogenMod 9. It mostly works, but the battery life is poor and text occasionally looks garbled (requiring a reboot). He also has a very unofficial port of CyanogenMod 10, but that's an unofficial port of a custom ROM that's still in alpha, with a hacked up Gingerbread kernel. If you use that one, don't be surprised if there are problems.

****ing Dix.

Thanks for the reply. I waited for the update but just bit the bullet and got the RAZR Maxx. Ive been thinking about using a custom rom but with previous experience i don't want to sacrifice battery life or worse having it not work at all.

CyanogenMod 7.2 is very stable and has great battery life. It's still Gingerbread, but IMO it's a much better Gingerbread experience than HTC and Verizon provide. It's available as an official download from the CyanogenMod website.
For what it's worth, CyanogenMod is by far the most popular custom ROM for Android devices.

I've been using UKB for the last week or so, and the battery life is pretty much the same as it was before I rooted.

Never tried ukb but I'm not a fan of sense. I'm running cm7 mrom. Very stable and good battery life. Cm9 and 10 are nice but battery life is understandably bad. Not sure what other non sense roms are out there.

I'm not trusting Verizon with updates anymore... besides, I can get a ROM that will be better than the update at any time instead of waiting 8 months for Verizon to push the update.

Do us a favor and let us know where that Rom is? Our developers do an absolutely amazing job with the Inc2, no doubt about that. But they will all admit that their jobs would be many times easier and the end product better if we had an actual OTA ICS update with source released.

I've been using CM roms since my droid eris days.since having the Dinc2 been with cm7.2 and am now using MROM 1-0.2012
Am happy with this rom as stability is my number one factor when considering a custom rom. And it has some eye candy but still is smooth and fast. I am pretty vanilla with my phone i just want it to make calls, reliable sms and mms, and take good pictures. All the play stuff I do on my tablet.
Anyways my question is what are the biggest advantages/drawbacks to running and ICS or Jelly bean rom like paranoid android. Again call quality/stability and camera functionality are my number main concerns.

Well for one, no FFC as with most JB roms i've seen posted. I haven't had any issues with the call quality, it's pretty awesome. When I first flashed it i did however have an issue (that stopped on it's own) when someone would call me and the answer option would pop up, i had slide, i'd slide it answer but it would decline it. but it stopped. the pictures are fine, there are other roms with better camera quality though. i just like it for the customization of the apps mainly

Did you CM10 users changed to the Stock JB Update?

I am having a hard time deciding if I want to go back to TW with stock JB. So far I am really happy with CM10 except for minor bugs here and there but what about you guys, Have you changed from CM10 to JB?
How do you like it?
Is it as fast and snappy'?
I miss the stock camera, the email layout, some gestures (txt to talk, Facebook integrated with contacts) and other lil' things here and there but that is about it.
Let me know.

I switched back. Its nice, smooth and snappy, but I do miss the vanilla aosp that cm10 delivers.....

I like both will use TouchWiz JB when need complete stock everything working 100% and then go to AOSP/AOKP when I want to have more fun with themes and such.

Yep I switched. I had been using all of the JB Leaks and had strangely poor performance but recently was able to attribute that to the "media server" taking up a disproportionate amount of CPU time and I was able to fix that. Everything's good.

I tried out the stock OTA and then switched right back. IMO nothing beats this stable CM 10.0 build.

Except having a camera that can save to SD card, ammirite!!!
Kidding aside, I switched back from CM to stock just a few days before the JB update and am glad I did. I've always used CM ROMs with previous phones, but this was the first time that there were simply too many things that should just work right that simply were not working right. The stock JB is definitely snappy, camera is great, GPS works instantaneously (was another gripe I was having with CM).

I was wondering how people would compare stock android camera vs the galaxy s3 camera. To me it seems like you would be losing features if you switched to a AOSP based rom, atlease until they are based on 4.2.

Correct, the stock camera has a lot more features, at least a lot more that comes with the CM10 rom

I thought about it but i have always been a sucker for AOKP and CM10 since the my touch 4g, the reason I bought this phone was the fact that Samsung is usually dev friendly and usually has aosp ROMs available

Touch wiz may be bloated.... But the features are awesome. The motion and sharing options are way ahead of stock Android. IMO not since HTC Hero has a "skin" actually added something good to android.
We can have most of the best features and still have tw options with jb roms. I don't see a benefit to running aosp on the s3.
