This is a typical NOOB question and I know that we are not supposed to compare ROMs but I wanted to know which ROM is the closes it gets to a pure android experience, as if I was using nexus 4. Nothing extra.
Just look for a pure AOSP rom.

Closest would be Cyanogen's rom the rest are super tweaked, even cm is but it's the least that's for sure.

Another super NOOB question. Do all custom ROMs have trebuchet or some other third party launcher and not the default launcher in nexus phones?
I guess what I am looking for is something like a port of the Nexus 4 or close to it.
Closest would be Cyanogen's rom

We don't have a Nexus port.

This questions is geared more towards my friends in MIUI land. I had asked it once before at miui-dev.com and miuiandroid.com. However, I did not notice any responses and now with the site down I probably would not have received any feedback unless I posted here.
My question is regarding the new TouchWiz 4.0; it is my understanding that the MIUI rom is based off of a modified version of TouchWiz and now with v4.0 coming out I wanted to know what the possibilities were for new functions to be updated, changed, or new features perhaps added?
Thanks for the read and any comments.

Miui is based off the 2.3.3 nexus s (aosp) not touchwiz. Touchwiz is on ****ty Samsung phones

Well, yes, but the Nexus S has its own set of problems... At least it is AOSP, not TouchWiz.
MIUI is based on AOSP / CM7, but borrows design concepts from Touchwiz, iOS and Sense a little.

Hey I did some searches and couldn't turn up any solid answers to my questions but is it possible and likely we would get a port of the sense rom to galaxy nexus or is there a reason i don't see a stable version in CDMA Development?
Its possible but unlikely. Most people buy nexus devices to get away from skins.

If it is ported it's likely to be broken.

I don't really see the point of porting Sense to a Nexus device. I mean, since it wasn't originally to this device, it will be buggy and probably never run smoothly. Sense is very beautiful, in my opinion, but it's bloated beyond usage.
On a completely unrelated note, my favorite two ROMs for the Galaxy Nexus are AOKP for its customizability, and CM9 for being, well, CM9.
True that, thanks for all your imput! I guess also since sense is HTC it would also work easier if it wasn't a samsung...I just thought it would be interesting if you could have the launcher and widgets minus the bloatware apps.

I like simplicity at its best.
I can recommend buying Beautiful Widgets!
For those saying a sense port would never work on a nexus or would run buggy check out the nexus s 4g dev section.
I just switched to a gnex but I believe if they did it on the ns4g it would never be impossible to do it here

No camcorder, no Bluetooth. Read the thread, it's buggy.

Just asking is there a jb Rom with tounchwiz in the Rom?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sorry, gotta say it, but Tounchwiz?
TOUCHWIZ.
You won't find it anywhere.
Most people who are on the Nexus cannot stand OEM skins.
Also, no JB with Touchwiz ROMs except maybe on the SGS3 but I'm not even sure, I doubt it.
Thanks for that helpful information .

Nexus devices are then only ones with Jelly Bean. Even the S3 doesn't have it yet.

This might resemble what you want.

I recommend you get a Galaxy S3 if you like TouchWiz. Nexus devices use pure Android OS without the bloats.
This custom TW Launcher only work for Gingerbread for now, but you can follow its progress to see if it gets support for new version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
Also you can download Cyanogenmod TouchWiz theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz&feature=search_result
sense, touchwiz, motoblur all unnecessary junk. Wish more manufacturers would use vanilla android, but that's why I got a nexus.

Thats true!
i find it ironic that ppl with touchwiz devices cant wait to flash aosp roms..and you a nexus user wants touchwiz. well to each their own.
i think there is a s3 add on that gives makes your phone like the s3 with touchwiz..you might wanna give that a try
Hey guys i have looked and looked and i just cant seem to find a rom the is vanilla android... not cm or aokp. But like the nexus expeirence on galaxy s4 and s3. Sorry if i didnt look hard enough haha but i just dont want all the mods and tweaks the custom roms bring. Thanks in advance! :silly:

You try the Gummy rom in the original development thread? There is no pure aosp rom at this time that I know of.

So I'm looking for a ROM with as little extra features and modifications as possible, since my girlfriend like the way my phone and tablet are set up* and has asked me to try and replicate it as close as possible on her phone.
What would be the nearest to this on the Optimus G?
* Stock Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 with Xposed and root.

Paranoid android? Reportedly featureless like a stock aosp. Haven't tried it yet though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51405891
Cyanogenmod Definetly. Or Vanir AOSP.
Your first stop should be cyanogemod. But since, your girlfriend wants to set it up closest to tablet revisions, you should go for Paranoid Android. I havent seen official PA downloads for Optimus G but there are 4.2/4.4 based projects floating in dev
PA seems to have begun over from scratch, so this might be a good choice. Thanks!
