AOKP and some kernel. I personally use Franco Kernel but look around and see what you like the most.

where can i find this rom? thanks for quick replies

Check the Dev section.
Goodluck!

Now with AOKP, use to be Slim. Both of them are great.

right now i think AOKP is the best. i used the official CM9 nightlies and there were pretty awesome, but still needs some features that i really need

Official CM9 Nightlies, Franco kernel.
Faster than the speed of light.

I'm using codename and just recently switched to francos 18.4 and now 18.6 kernel. I have zero complaints, the only thing I haven't gotten to work is Google plus hangout video chat but I haven't updated to the latest gapps yet. I bet I will try akop one day since it is so popular (maybe at milestone 4) but I have no reason to. Codename is killer smooth.

I was running ARHD but switched to the most recent CM9 nightly earlier this morning. CM9 is faaaaassst and so far no issues. Oh and I'm using the stock CM9 kernel.

When people say you have to try every from and find one for you, that's completely untrue for the galaxy nexus, once you try AOKP you won't change at least until MIUI is official for me

Definitely liking AOKP Milestone 3. Plenty stable for me, and adds some nice features not included with the stock ROM. Paired with GladOS 1.15 kernel. Butter smooth, ~3+ hours screen on time with the stock GSM battery.

apparently aokp is the boss rom

AOKP and lean kernel+ leantweaks

AOKP and Morfic Trinity kernel... I've been testing alot of kernel and trinity is by far the smoothest and as amazing battery life! And for those who use quadrant as reference ; I average 3700 on ondemand

How is trinity in comparison to lean?

Why is everyone who uses AOKP suggests other kernel? Is the kernel that comes with AOKP not good enough?

I personally got best battery life and smoothness using lean kernel after testing every other kernel. Different results for different people I guess so you'll have to try kernels out yourself and see what you find best

I've just switched to the Glados Kernel found on RootzWiki with AOKP, and it's the best combination I've tried so far I think.

[Q] New member Galaxy Nexus

What's Rom good for me ? now

Axi0m hybrid or wait for Gummys next rom which will be 4.0.4
4.0.4 adds noticeable speed gains. It was just released on AOSP so most roms should be updating soon. Axi0m was using an unofficial 4.0.4 release mixed with official 4.0.3 (aka hybrid). It currently runs the best for me.
Gummy has great battery life but it stutters
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Thank you so much .I'll try

I would go for AOKP 29 with franco r.116 kernel, its a great, fast and energyefficient combo, without stutters
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Welcome.
look around at all the ROMs and make your decision on your own. I don't want to be biased but +1 for AOKP 29 + 116
at least look for a ROM updated to 4.0.4 as it contains crucial fixes for the GN.

GummyNex gets my vote for best ROM. I've been using franco's, GlaDOS,faux & matrix kernels. Im seeing the best results from franco.:thumbup:

AOKP, Gummy, Bugless Beast, Liquid, Codenamed Android, Rootzboat, BAMF, CM9 nightlys and AXI0M are all quality roms, I got nandroids of all of them.

Most stable 4.0.4 ROM?

Whats the most stable 4.0.4 based rom? I love AOKP and ive been running M4. But im looking for more of a newer system based rom. The battery life from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 i believe is a hell of alot better.

Flash the newer build of Aokp its rebased off 4.0.4. It's been out for quite a while

No stability issues with the stock ROM!

BAMF....

Android revolution HD 3.0.0 is awesome... although I think its pretty much the same as stock with a few minor tweaks.

Well you're like one of the only ones with issues. And the OP asked for a stable ROM , not a lame-not ROM. I'm personally running CM myself , just threw a suggestion let him test the waters and pick the best one that works for him.

Official CM 9, is bulletproof stable. And has longest lasting battery life out of the dozen ROM's I have tried.
I can't even imagine how awesome RC1 of CM9 will be.

Another vote for stock 4.0.4. Currently using my own build of aosp. Deodexed, rooted+busybox. Quite stable.

I've bounced around to several of the roms mentioned here and I have to say all of them have been pretty stable. I've used several for over a month, others weeks at a time. I'm on MIUI now.
All are pretty stable. The differences are the extra features and speed. Some stagger while others zip along. I'm sure most work well now. Most will have the same common extra features normal in a custom rom. Most of them look and feel the same after you get it setup.
My problem is I'm getting bored. The roms are so stable and perfect that I have no reason to flash and most devs aren't putting out many updates because of this. Only CM9 and AOKP update nightly. Others go for weeks. I'm was running Axi0m from March 4th. I finally got the itch to switch to MIUI.
I'm waiting on Gummy to release a new rom and Team Bamf.

Looks like CM has more popularity then i thought. Ive ran with 4.0.4 AKOP but it seemed problemmatic to me. I also run francos kernel. And always update to the latest nightly.
Maybe ill give Build 31 a shot again. Im tempted to try CM9 now though. Although i thought with 2nd init roms like CM9, atleast thats what they called them when i had it on the droid x. It was feature filled, but battery life was terrible.

AOKP b31- Francos Kernel
I recently bought my Galaxy Nexus. Immediately rooted it and tried a couple of ROMS. I was looking for stability with features.
I finally installed Milestone 4 and found it stable; however, not smooth or fast enough as 4.03. After seeing all comments in the AOKP thread I tried B31. Have been using it for 3 days with Francos Kernel Milestone 2.
I love the features, stability and smoothness with which the ROM works and have had no FCs or reboots at all.
In my view-If you want stability with a host of features then, nothing better than AOKP B31 with Francos kernel.
All the best with the upgrade.

Bluetooth Problems
Did CM9 and/or AOKP get the bluetooth problems ironed out that I read was introduced by 4.0.4? That's one feature that has to work for me.

Using Liquid Smooth Rom 1.25 - Pretty stable and fast, a lot of neat features ...
Flashed imoseyon leanKernel v3.2.1 but my phone was heating up (Didn't even touch the processor speed or voltage ) now using Franco Kernel (Battery life not good) - Give it a try, maybe the above mentioned kernels might work for you ....
Now going to try Trinity .....

Liquid or Aokp?

I want smoothness and customiziability(I know its not a word lol). I don't have a g-nex yet but will buy one this month,hopefully. So I just wanted to know ahead of time

I have had the best experience with liquid rom. They just recently updated it too.

I can speak for AOKP as a great rom stable / great features / power saver / nice performance..
As for liquid.. I was about to try it but meh they wont support spanish
Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3

+1 on that
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Why don´t you try both when you got your Gnex and see which one you like better?
btw, i would recommend Slim ICS (3.7) which has almost all the features of AOKP but is way faster.
There are a lot of nice Roms there, so just give them a try. No need to think about it when u haven´t got your phone yet

I have just bought my new GN and i can tell you for sure that you have to try every rom for yourself. I mean, I tried stock one (4.0.4), AOKP Milestone 5 and Foxhound 0.5. For example, I was not satisfied with battery usage of AOKP: in fact, I tried Foxhound and I am really satisfied. So, try whatever you want, it's free-of-charge man!

AOKP have one big problem - data and net drop.... Liquid hazen`t this problem....

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3

I must say AOKP. Been using it on and off since build 28 and it's the most feature-complete ROM I have ever seen.
I'm considering either PARANOIDANDROID when the next jawdropping release hits XDA or Cyanogenmod 9. I tried Liquidsmooth, but since it reminded me so much of AOKP, I chose to stay with AOKP.

thanks everyone for their opinions it means a lot

What ROM are you currently using?

With so many ROM's available, I'm curious as to which one is getting the most love.
I haven't listed all ROM's. I've gone through Development forum and the Galaxy Nexus Index and picked what I think might be the most appropriate based on replies/posts in the individual ROM's thread as well as when the ROM was last updated.
If you could also post below why you are using the ROM you voted for that would be great.
If you are using a ROM not listed in the poll, please mention it below also.

AOKP
Not only it is super fast and smooth with Franco Kernel, but also it has tons and tons of customization in this ROM that I love. Also the look on my friends face when I show them my unicorn and swagger toggle is priceless
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel

I am loving AffinitySeries from Android Developer Alliance. It hasn't been updated for almost 2 months but it doesn't need one. I have been running it for a month and a half and have never had an issue. It is solid, fast and has just enough customizations. I am running it with Franco's kernel and Dustin's Cobalt theme and haven't found a combination yet that tops it.
As if having a great ROM wasn't enough, ADA is also a very pleasant and professional group. The devs are active in their threads and will answer questions promptly and without condescension.
Allons-y

Xenon HD
Give it a try it is super stable and has also a ton of customizations! Updates are on a weekly basis or faster if there is a severe bug!

codename (android)
the best rom for me, combine with zenbook series kernel make this rom even better. codename android like combination of aokp and cynogenmod but stable and fast...
sorry for mt bad english
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

100% codename... but PA is way to cool too...
I just keep changin between these two.

Codename Android. So good rom that I haven't even bothered trying any others. Have used Trinity kernel with it but now testing lean.

MIUI
Lots of options, but mainly because its just different. Both my gf and a close friend have the gnex so it seems like I'm surrounded by aosp devices.

Hands down Paranoidandroid. With every update comes brand new features, not to mention smoothness and speed improvements. After using this rom initially back on my Droid Incredible 2 I immediately rooted and flashed this on day 1 of owning my Gnex, there is no way I can go back to using anything else, this rom has more customizations and options than anything I have ever used in the 3 1/2 yrs I've been using android.
To top that off PA is typically updated once and sometimes twice in a week, besides CM10 nighties I can't think of a rom that gets that much attention and brings brand new options with every update! The fact that Maguro, Toro and Toroplus are all overseen is the other thing that makes it so amazing, most developers build roms for maguro and us over in toro and toroplus land have to wait quite awhile to get our port if it ever happens.
Bottomline, this rom is AMAZING!

Rasbean and lean because well its just so smooth

Loving Sourcery! I would actually run rasbean if I could change the navbar like you can with aokp/cna/Sourcery. I have to have a power button on my navbar, mainly because of worries about wearing out the physical power button.
