thoughts on best rom

I know this question will cause some debate but what would you say is the best rom for the galaxy nexus?

ARHD

What does that mean??

You didn't see a rom in the dec section that might be abbreviated ARHD? Or any of the other "what's the best rom" threads, for that matter?

How about AOKP? Try that abbreviation
Terminators run on Android

I'm using rootzboat. I'm really good.

Definitely Android Revolution HD (ARHD). I tried others but none were as sweet as ARHD.

I used android revolution but was tired of being on 4.0.2 as the developer was waiting for Google to drop 4.0.3 binaries.
And Franco's kernel was for 4.0.3 only. So I started using Aokp and I simply love it. Aokp + Franco Kernel is a amazing mix for performance and battery.
Aokp also adds new features such as power saver to help with battery and with various status bar tweaks.
Aokp +, Franco kernel.... Nothing gets any better. Also Aokp pushes updates every other day so you can expect goodies every 3-5 days.

Always use Paul O'Brien Modaco roms. They simply work and let you get on with customising your phone.

RootzBoat is by far my favorite. I like how it stay's true to AOSP and just adds little extras. Nothing too fancy and feels smooth.

I haven't installed one yet...I'm looking at Android Revolution and AOKP right now, but leaning toward the latter because I'd love to give Franco's a shot. Problem is I'm kind of thinking I should just wait for 4.0.3 to drop and go from there. I'd like to get it the day it drops, if possible.
Right now I'm just using stock rooted+unlocked with the 4.0.3 radio firmware. I'd love to install some graphical mods (mainly a status bar battery mod) but can't on Stock =(

I used arhd since getting the phone. But wanted 4.0.3. So switched to aokp. But for some reason had delays when unlocking the phone. And sometimes when typing. Tried wiping etc. No joy
So I am now using eagles blood with Franco kernal and can't fault it at all. Fb sync and the lock screen and great features.
For a perfect from I would want the power saver and UI mods of aokp. With the cm9 launcher mods. And the eb lock screen. Someone want to make it for me!

Haven't tried any others, but Axiom is great. Wait for 2.4 update for VZW services fix though.

AOKP looks cool. They have the HC quick settings menu and a slew of options. Pretty slick.
RootzBoat has a good rom too with lots of options. I just hate how they label everything RootzBoat (wallpaper, carrier id, etc). I'm also using AOSP CM9 Kangs too. They're all fun. I typically flip between them when one has a few feature that I like.
RootzBoat has a Centered clock option, notification LED color options, and a 4-way lockscreen... but no notification toggles.
I get awesome battery on my CM9 Kang. BIG difference between it and RootzBoat.
I also noticed that MIUI was updated yesterday to a pretty usable state. I haven't personally tried it, and there are some bugs still, but it should be useable now.

AOKP rocks! But I cant wait to see how CM9 develops. They have to add something special to make me leave AOKP.

Me too I've tried other 4.0.3 but to me they just don't compare to the constant smoothness of ARHD

I agree! This rom + franco's kernel waaayyy better than ARHD..... Love the quick toggles and being able to customize without having to flash or "bake" roms....

Another aokp here...it rocks!

Theme Chooser flashable zip and odexing tool.

Yeah I'm looking for a Theme Chooser flashable zip for JB, and Odexing tool for JB as well.
I saw BAMF Paradigm has the theme chooser but I really don't like that ROM, I want to theme any JB ROM that's AOSP. For that I need a zip.
As for Odexing, I found an apk that is supposed to do that but it never does, I just get stuck at the boot screen forever after using it (ICS & JB)
So if anyone can help wit this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks all

As far as I know, can't be done. The theme choose requires modifications to the framework as well, its not just an APK that's flashable. At least that is how it was explained to me back in the CM7 days

Framework, and apps.
I however, like our rom

Well I almost do, if 2.1.1 would be released I think I might switch but as is I'm running CM9 & Jelly belly 6.0.1
I ran BAMF Paradigm for about a week but the screen kept turning itself on randomly thereby draining my battery.

The OdexMe app only works on stock based roms. Not on AOSP, CM or AOKP roms.

BAMF is an awesome ROM. The problem with the screen waking is possibly superSU granting an app root access. Its usually a toast pop up saying that an interactive shell has been granted. At least it was for me. You can turn the notification off in the superSU settings. Use BAMF and donate to the adrynalyne retirement fund

Never tried Perfect Android, nor Are You Jellin, but Black Bean is basically AOKP nightly (Which I am currently using, and I recommend it btw ) with inverted apps (Backgrounds are perfectly black, which can save battery on out Gnex). Since Black Bean is basically AOKP nightly, you get all the customization that AOKP nightly brings right now, which isn't a lot compared to Milestone AOKP. I found it very stable, however there was a lot of complains about Black Bean rebooting, even with clean install...

Opinions on 4.2

Does anyone truly like it? I find the extra page for toggles to be an annoyance to get to, and requires extra time. It just looks nice. The lock-screen also defeats all purpose of having a lock screen, and removes useful shortcuts (I know these can be added in through some cm or aokp builds but still). I didn't think it was possible for a new android version to really take a step back in terms of functionality but 4.2 really did. Scrolling isn't nearly as good as it was in 4.1 as well. But this is all my opinion, I'm interested to hear what you guys think. I'm looking to drop back to 4.1, and I'm hoping key lime pie gets rid of lock-screen widgets

Yes I like it. And a few milliseconds don't hurt. I don't think android took steps back, it took 3+ steps ahead.

I like it.. Looks pretty good.
Although, I do agree somewhat with the lockscreen. When I had messages as one of the pages on the lockscreen, I wish I could just text them from there. But instead, you press it and it goes to the messaging app instead.

Agreed. With lockscreen and toggles. If I remember correctly though, pure AOSP that ships on nexus devices prior to 4.2 didn't have toggles. That's a luxury that was only afforded to root users. So really it was a step forward.
In my opinion though, they should have implemented CM's toggles and called it good.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I love it, So much smoother at least when it comes to cm10 vs cm10.1 depends on the ROM you are using, Baked Black Bean its amazing and there are quite a few new 4.2 ROMs out in the last couple weeks

I dunno, I'm using the first aokp build that came out and its stuttering like crazy, especially the xda app

I love 4.2 on my phone, i just flashed it but my only concern is battery life and how that will ruin my fresh clean battery.
Also i dislike the lockscreen options and wished you could turn those off!

Root box is the only 4.2 ROM that I think has good battery life ! After flashing and trying out other ROMs I stick with root box. I only needed one time charger all day long .

I'm getting 3.5 or so screen time consistently with black bean. I'm actually getting better battery life than ICS out the box and with the same installed apps. Smooth performance too. I'm liking 4.2 so far. I do miss the TW calendar and music player. They seemed to work the best for me. Tethering is also been hit or miss. Nothing a big deal breaker for me though.

I was using Sniper's Baked BlackBean ROM and I loved it but the only thing that's preventing me to stay with it is the limited 4G speed so I went back to Kobridge's Stock ROM.

In response to people who dislike the newly implemented toggles page: just swipe your notification bar with two fingers and voilà, straight to toggles.
Don't thank me, I figured it out from a review video myself (QBKing77 I believe, but I could be wrong). But should save you that extra second you were complaining about...

I think it is nice but, something they could have included in the original Jelly Bean instead of making a separate Jelly Bean version.

Does tethering always work for free on Cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 Wild for the night?

Whats the difference in 4.2.2 & 4.1.2 ?

[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]I got my Kid the Nexus 7 tablet. I noticed the developer options were gone after the update. What sucked was, we changed the Animation Scales and could not go back in there to change back. (Q) If the Note 2 gets 4.2.2 are the developing options still going to be there? What else will change? Anything really kool coming to our Note2?

The Dev options are there. Just tap build number 7 times as stated.
Also 4.2.2 is barely different from 4.2.1
But the jump from 4.1 to 4.2 was significant.
Biggest difference is notification bar has the new quick launch feature. Which is like a separate menu for quick toggles. And the lock screen has widgets. I believe that was new.
The camera is different

If you go into the original development section the 4.2.2 ROMs are in there. Its all preference though. Sky note is nice, for a stock Samsung feel. I like stock android though, so I prefer aosp ROMs. I never used multi window, and don't use the spen apps so I'm not missing anything from the touch wiz based ROMs.
