Anything like ViperRom for the Galaxy Nexus?

There is a ROM for most popular HTC phones called "ViperRom". It is probably the most insane ROM I've ever seen, simply because of the sheer amount of tweaks.
The greatest feature I have seen on it is live, on the go framework tweaking. Load some .pngs into your phone, and use the built in editor to select them and use them as images in your status bar, such as the battery, signal, wifi, or ring mode images. There is no installable theme or .mtz file needed to theme the images; just select them from the tweaks menu.
Is there any ROM that has this ability or can be built to add this ability for the GSM Galaxy Nexus? Because that would be awesome.

nope. just a whole bunch of aosp ROMs that are almost exactly alike

Yup. -_-
Only Roms that give you a new UI experience is:
Paranoid Android
Miui
That is it.

I think JBSourcery has some unique stuff also no? I haven't tried it though.

Ya jbsourcery will let you do a lot of theming on the phone. I'd check it out if I were you

Yeah i kind of noticed that myself. Seems like we need some new different types of ROMs around here. The sense and Firefox ROMs are good examples of what this phone needs more of.

Looks like the closest I'm going to get is JBSourcery. Not quite what I was looking for, but oh well.

Recently I've been thinking of starting a ROM but it seems that life is not letting me I would like to create something different from the rest.

I'm pretty jealous if that's what viperrom shouldve been like! Coming from an evo3d it was just another stock ROM with no bells and whistles

I can't believe the amount of people in here crying about the AOSP roms.
You bought a galaxy NEXUS. Not "sense-box-2230349039" or "blur-spaz-X08" or whatever the hell else you're looking for.
If you got a NEXUS device hoping that you'd be surprised by sense/b2g/windows/Android2.2/MacOS/whatever-else to be available...and working without show-stopping bugs...You have no idea what a NEXUS device is.
Nexus:
Get's updates straight from google (+yakju +takju -toro -toroplus...there's often a middle man) or in simpleton terms...
ANY DEVELOPERS WHO BOUGHT A NEXUS ARE FANS OF ANDROID AND WANT TO BUILD ANDROID. NOT SOME AFTERTHOUGHT SKIN WITH CLOSED/SEMI-CLOSED/"SOON-TO-BE-AVAILABLE" SOURCE.
If you came in to the game just to cry about the lackluster roms you shouldn't own the phone.

You will likely never get a Sense ROM on the Nexus and if you do it will be a port from another device. If you enjoy sense, you should stick with HTC devices. I came from a Sensation that had 1.9 million sense ROMS with few AOSP offerings.
The Nexus is the exact opposite. It's going to give you a 'vanilla' Android experience without the skins that you'll see from other manufacturers.
For me, I love the stability of the 'stock' builds and I can get enough customization through APEX launcher and some creativity.
Here is a great example of how much you can customize this device (and mind you, Black Bear is doing all of this without root): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804627

I guess I just had the wrong idea about the nexus. I kind of thought it was the phone that would have the most development, be it ROMs being ported, built, or whatever. Currently my prepaid Virgin Mobile Optimus V has a wider selection of "different" ROMs than the Nexus does. I guess I was wrong. I was by no means trying to start a fight, however, so I sincerely apologize if anything I said offended you in any way.

Yeah I have seen the forums for sense phones. It's like the Nexus forums, but replace the "AOSP" label before all the ROMs with "Sense". Like I said above, I kind of just thought the nexus was the phone that had the widest variety of development. I'd love to be able to try out sense or touchwiz or motoblur on my phone, even if I am a fan of stock android. I guess this us not the phone for that.

Just curious... International gs3 Rom's

Just curious, will we ever see roms like our international counterpart or could they eventually be ported over? I'm extremely great full for our devs and I hope this doesn't come off as a slight to them. I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm assuming the flood gates will open up as soon as jellybean is released for our device and I would hope so because I hoping to stay with touchwiz roms.

Dev's would have to port them over, yes. So we could but someone would have to work on it. I'm hoping someone will port the sense4all rom when it becomes stable (may take a long time).

No CyanogenMod for Galaxy S4

No!!!!! Say it ain't so! I love CyanogenMod so much this might actually stop me from buying the single most awesome device I have ever waited for. I guess that says a lot about the CyanogenMod Team.

Doesn't mean jack. Someone will end up doing a port of CyanogenMod to the S4, whether or not the CM team gives its "blessing." At this point, there's nothing they can do to stop it.

The question is whether it will be a functional stable port but I am staying optimistic.

True, but I've learned to never underestimate the ingenuity of the Android development community.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Tapatalk 2

They already stated that this post doesnt speak for the whole CM team. Just some of the Samsung maintainers.
We should have all seen this coming with the lack of developer support Samsung has been doing as of late.
Will someone make a port? Most likely. will it be as stable as a CM version? Most likely not. To be honest. The S4 is nothing big compared to the S3. Yes it has a few cool features but those features will be lost on AOSP. Mainly as Samsung will not release the code for it so you will only see those features on a TW rom.

Isn't it a bit early to for a definitive "no" about a CyanogenMod?
Like the phone I read isn't being released 'till the end of April as the earliest estimate.

I am not really hugely disappointed to be honest. I have to say the stock rom on this phone is one of the better ones and I do use it quite often. If any phone can stand alone on stock it is this one in my opinion.

If you want all the stuff to really work you already need a TW based ROM anyways. I don't see Sammy opening up more with sharing code, smells like they are going the other way.

If you already have an s3, why even buy an s4? Huge waste of money for such a minor upgrade. Besides, any feature that is not hardware dependant will be made available on the s3 anyways. And if you want Aosp, those features will most likely not even be available anyways so what's the point?

There will probably be lesser CM support for the international S4 model due to developers frustration with Exynos chips. Us version, however, will be shipped with good fully supported Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and should be fine receiving developers love.
Edit: to sum it up, here is an official CyanogenMod stance on topic from their Google + page. Well put!
CyanogenMod10:59 AM - Public
Setting Device Expectations
Let’s start with the simplest form of this: CyanogenMod does not pre-announce support or lack of support for devices. Ever. Even for the Nexus 4, we did not announce support until a nightly build was available. Further, any announcement regarding the ‘dropping’ of device support will be communicated via this Google+ page, Twitter, Facebook, our blog, or a combination of those; it will not be something buried in a forum post.
This morning, a comment from a CM collaborator on XDA was taken to be as an ‘absolute’ in regards to support of the S4. He offered the opinion of four TeamHacksung maintainers, their frustrations and lack of interest in supporting the S4. What’s seemingly lost on those reading this is that his comments as an individual do not speak for CyanogenMod as an organization.
As for the team’s stance on the S4, there isn’t one at this time, and most definitely won’t be one before the device is sold at retail.

I was about to post a ss of that very post. Oh, here it is anyway. For the unbelievers.

If I wanted a buggy build of Android that delivers less battery life, less stability, and less features than TouchWiz, just so I could say that I'm running stock Android, I'd go with CM. Therefore at the present, this development is of no concern to me. I have ran CM on all of my previous devices including the Evo and Galaxy S2. Worked decently well on the Evo (better than Sense), but lots of issues with the S2. With my S3, absolutely no reason to get away from TouchWiz.

Im split on this really. I like the new features of 4.2..and it irks me that id be on 4.1.2 if i went Sammy, but I do miss the 'everything works' feel of a Sammy rom.

TouchWiz isn't all that bad, IMO.
But I far and away prefer to run AOSP.
Sucks to hear that some members of CyanogenMod aren't happy with the S4, or Samsung in general.
I upgrade phones every year. Why not. But I've learned my lesson. I won't upgrade again until CyanogenMod has matured for a few months for ROM's on any particular phone.
Flashing a new ROM every two-three days hoping to find something fixed, suxes. I'd rather have an awesome ROM than an awesome phone.

That's the thing, I don't have time to screw around with flashing nightlies hoping that whatever problem I have is fixed, and praying that no new problem is introduced. I dealt with this with every phone I've had in the past, and it's not fun. I agree that the new features of 4.2 are nice, but not nice enough to deal with the issues of AOSP. Besides, TouchWiz is fast, fluid, and gets excellent battery life, and has far more features than stock Android. To me, CM is a downgrade and a headache. A phone is a tool, not a project.

--Does this device support ROMs cooked by Android Kitchen?
--Are there any CM ROMs out there?
--I also need ideas for a ROM!
I will begin development soon and i look forward to getting to know all of you guys! Very excited!

Yea we need fixes more than anything first.

Hello! Glad to have another dev for this device! This phone is smoking hot! As for your questions.. Yes it should be all right! But a test will obviously be in order As for Cm roms.. Non yet! Would be nice, but the features on TW are so nice and this phone can run it amazingly. And for my opinion on a rom would be maybe a highly themed/customizable rom. Kinda like chameleon or avatar rom.

All I can say right now is thank goodness for Wanam's Exposed, that app covers so many things all by its lonesome. I'd be rocking Darthstalker but it changes something that keeps me from visiting most sites via tethering, if your familiar with Team Venom Viper rom for the HTC One that was the best rom I ever used as far as the customization and all the addons and such accessible from the hub they add in, I was so spoiled by that rom it's hard to imagine using anything with less feature rich. I'm sure something like that takes a group effort whereas some of you guys work alone but I would donate my left one for Venom on this phone.

Cyanogenmod 4.4 General Discussion.

I have many questions about android 4.4 and I am sure many others do also. I have created this thread as an information database for AOSP 4.4. Also for any information regarding KitKat making its way to T-Mobile Note 3 and how development is coming along.

If its a Q&A shouldn't it be in the Q&A section? Rename it to Android 4.4 General Discussion, it sounds better

Regarding kit Kat making it way to gn3 it will probably be minimum 3 months but more than likely 6+ and probably the one of two point updates we see. I am enthused about 4.4 but not Samsung giving it to us right away. Eager to see Google wallet on our phones though.

Since the Nexus 5 is using the same chipset as the Note 3, getting some things going won't be as difficult. I'd give it 2 months before we see a "stable" enough build. I personally don't considering AOSP builds 100% stable as there seems to be bugs with them, IF it's running on a NON-Nexus device... Just a personal feeling on it though...
But those who do want AOSP, it won't take as long as some may think. Note 3 is the only device that's really really new still, G2's been out a little bit, if I'm not mistaken. But like I said, Nexus 5 uses S 800, like the Note 3. It'll come sooner than some may think....
