Just got my Nexus (GSM) and there are so many ROMS to choose from!! Anyone have any favorites that I can try? I came from HTC Desire using Richard Trip's Villain ROM.
AOKP is the one with most tweaks, tho many say its kinda laggy, im using it and no lag for me
I've tried them all so far and my 2 favorite are ARHD and AOKP.
Try with these 2 first, aokp for 4.0.3 and arhd for 4.0.2.

He seems to update that ROM every week! I will grab build 28 - that one seems to be the latest. What is the difference between Milestone 4 and a build?
I couldn't stand AOKP! too much customization! hahaha. I'm on codename android
I would have to go with official AOKP all the way! I've got it on both my phones

I didn't like AOKP. Ran slow and ate my battery.
Gummy worked awesome regarding battery life. But Axi0m Hybrid is super fast.
Axi0m is a mix of AOKP and 4.0.4

Bugless Beast is the best IMO if you aren't looking for a bunch of mods. Its rock solid stable, has toggles in the status bar and gives great battery life. Run it with trinity kernel though, best experience I've had so far.

Is Bugless Beast a nightly build? I'm not keen on having to update it every week you see
Liquidsmooth rom + trinity or lean kernel = awesome!!!!

It says nightly, but he releases new builds every week or more, but no need to always upgrade, I just flashed the March 16th build and I don't see any reason to upgrade unless he adds some crazy new features, because it's really great right now.
All roms are updated nearly every week or 2, you don't have to upgrade though, if you want a ROM that has no development then go with one of those roms that hasn't been updated for a month or 2.
Hey Guys! Coming here from my SGS II actually haha. I just like the feel of this phone better!
So I had a few questions to start off with.
This one is solely based on whoever may be reading this's opinion. Which kernel do you feel atm gives you a fair balance of smooth performance and good battery life (and hopefully no heat issues).
The second question is kind of two questions. Does the Toroplus get CM10 nightly's yet? It seems that theres alot of kang's with cherry picks which i guess are coming from toro? And does anyone know if pete plans to give us toroplus users some JB bugless-beast awesomeness?
Thanks for taking the time to read
I'm trying aokp atm and it runs smoothly!

Hey buddy look in cm thread, I believe we have official cm10 night lies and cm 9 weeklies, and I recommended francos kernel

I'm using MinCo which is optimized for Franco Kernel. And obviously Franco Kernel. So far smoothest and most stable ROM I have used.

Hey guys! I sure do appreciate the responses! This seems like a super nice group of people here . If anyone has any other suggestions ill take em and thanks again!! :laugh:
Is customization what you want? Or just smooth and stable rom?
If customization, I would recommend poking around sprint Gnex dev forum. A lot of good and customizable roms there!
If smooth and stable, just stock. Really. Jelly bean is only android version that I wouldn't be disappointed even with Stock rom and kernel.
Overall, I would recommend d you to use stock for awhile and then if you're not happy with it, try popular custom roms.
Have a nice day and welcome!

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 .

i love love love stock Jelly Bean. That is what i run, so i suppose i also can not see past stock JB.
i wouldn't say i'm "disappointed" in any ROMS I've tried, just that i personally have found no need to move away from stock.

I just flashed Pa3+ and for some reason I feel like stock is the smoothest but I really need the themes.
Is there a 100% stock rom but with themes ?
P.s. That's a GSM phone.
These two are the smoothest ROMs I've ever seen. Vanir is more stock, and a bit faster imo. Atom is based on Vanir with some added options. I'm sure if you tried either one you won't be disappointed.
Also I recommend flashing AK Kernel. Vanir + AK is the fastest my phone has ever been.

I think PA has a lot of unique features and I really like what they did with the rom but I agree that stock is way more stable and snappy.

I used to use STOCK for a few days, it really is smooth, but the interesting thing that can make any rom fast as stock is just to optimize it according to your necessities and "trim" it one a week to fix reading speeds of the internal memory. (LagFix from Google Play does the job)
I have actually never tried the stock 4.2.2 ROM, I am always flashing atom, vanir, cm10.1, aokp, xylon, and all that.
vanir is the smoothest for me
Yes, stock rom is the smoothest.
In my opinion Galaxy nexus rom development is boring because all roms look like each other and at the end the stock is the best.
That's one of the reasons why people choose paranoid and their hybrid engine... to get something different! I love their job for bringing real innovations to android.

i use muzzy rom and i think its very smooth. however, i may try vanir to see if it is smoother.
I have used several custom roms and after a while they get so laggy that unlocking the device is a pain.

In my case it's snappy right after reboot but after couple of hours it becomes laggy. You gotta reboot or....change wallpaper to restore smoothness.

Or use 4.1.2. The only thing I miss is the 4.2 keyboard and the fact that cm 10.1 feels more mature and complete.

Im waiting now for Firefox Os and Ubuntu Os
I used stock XXLMI. i want update my phone newest versions but i dont do it cuz this versions isnt stable. one weeks ago i installed a jb rom and in this rom it isnt any music player, i installed a music player but i didnt use it cuz this force closes. What's your suggestion for me ??
Just stick to CM9 till a more stable release for CM10 is out. If you have trouble with permissions, go to recovery and use fix permissions.
Don't get me wrong. That's just my opinion... You can use CM10 if you like. For music player, use Google Play Music.

All the ROM for this device are almost the same, all ics/jb roms are basead on arco's source,which means that there are no significant difference in battery/performance/bugs between them, the only difference is the mods, apps (removed or moded), and a few tweaks.
Pick the rom you like the most, if you want a clean rom and you don't care about those mods just pick CM9 or CM10, I would go for cm10, it's stable enough for daily use.
Edit: If you're a gamer go for cm9, or cm9 basead roms.

Yes, normal stock JB is better than stock ICS but we are talking about an ICS ROM that has RC stage while the JB is only at its alpha stage. The tweaks and 'project butter' smoothness will not be at its... Full power? Just saying. Not bias to any ROM at all. Different people have different opinions.

I used CM10 by Arco with 4.1 to 4.2 JB App Mods...
But its me... And in the end all the options back to you...
Sorry for my bad english...
If you ask me what is the best ROM in W. Then I would say: Nothing.
What's the best for me maybe its not the same for someone else. Maybe someone said: 'Ah CM10 FTW!!!' but then someone else argued: 'No!! CM9 is better blah blah blah'. And someone else said SlimBean 4.2 is da best.. e.t.c. And you know what will happen next.
If you want to ask what is the best ROM, ask it yourself. Try any ROM and Mods that might fit your requirements. (And expectation, of course)
