Hello guys,
i have had my Galaxy wonder for a long time. I have installed many roms and mods and am currently running CM10 RC1 (thanks for your work Arco ^^). I have the chance to swap my Wonder for an Optimus Black. I really like the Optimus' bigger (amoled) screen and the long lasting battery (compared to my wonder running cm10). The Optimus has a 1ghz processor but seems to be running faster (without modification on a stock ICS rom). I wonder what your opinions are on this choice? What would you choose and why? Thanks for your opinions guys!

Actually, I'm pretty sure that you would get bias statements, towards the Galaxy W because this is a Galaxy W forum.

There. Specs wise. But now that I read it, its a little wrong, as it gets ICS but its battery killing.

Thanks for your replies guys! I am still not sure about what i should do. Also, if i'd go for the Optimus Black i don't know if it's worth it to put Cyanogenmod on it, or just keep using the stock (stable) rom... I'm going to test the battery life on the Optimus Black and then decide which one is better for me.
simply check the dev section of the optimus black, if it gets less dev then dont go for it, also using the same rom class (e.g. CM9), same governers and i/o sched try to test the battery or the same game on both phones

Hey Guys, came from the Desire Z. Got my rooted and i´m using stock-cm9 at the moment.
there are a lot of roms for the Nexus. i´m a kinda overextended with all these roms
i think cm9 is pretty nice, but there are less customizations in comparison to cm7, that i´m coming from.
i´m looking for a rom that offers a good batterylife and performance.
finnaly, i´d like to know what you use
(small question, cm9 is showing me about 700mb, is that because the rest is reserved for the system)
I prefer AOKP Milestone 5 with Franco kernel for awesome speed and good battery. Only one concern that auto brightness works little bit strange and needs to be tweaked from Display menu.

Currently using AOKP34 with "James Bond 007" kernel. Developer has battery life as priority so see how that goes.

This might have been posted couple times sorry if it was but I need some help from you guys.
My issue:
AOKP - after sometime it just gets slow but awesome battery
Android Revolution - RUNS PERFECT! with Franco Kernel or stock does not matter
however issue is : battery dies to fast...
BAMF - after sometime roms becomes slow same as AOKP
MIUI - well the last version I tried was way to slow...
back in the day when I had GS2 the goal was to go from GB to ICS now I really dont know which rom to choose -_-
help apperciated thanks guys
roms dont really become slow over time
most likely you're installing too much crap with invisible background services. Do a wipe and install only the stuff you actually use, and research carefully before installing new stuff.
Liquid 1.35. Smooth, snappy and awesome battery life

Actually I have exact same setup with Android HD and its not getting slow at all , same amount of apps I mean everything is the same minus the AOKP custom settings any other way to improve battery with franco on Android HD?
You could try gummy. That's what I'm using it's quick and good battery.
This is the best. After trying many.

thanks good thread.
I was just wondering how many other people are already planning to upgrade over to Jellybean once it actually comes out (officially or unofficially). There are a lot of perks with staying stock like stability etc but will miss the functionality and tweakability of custom ROMs.

As soon as there is AOKP for JB - I'm upgrading.
I'll wait a few months to give ample time for all inclusive feedback from the community, and to give the CM team some time to fine tune. But yea, eventually.
As soon as it comes out I'll be swapping! Personally I found the Google images to be perfectly fine to be running as my daily driver and as much as I love my customisations, I won't mind the new features.
Upgrading right away. I don't see a reason why not. Plus it won't take as long for cm to port it over because the code won't be a restart from scratch (compared to gb vs ics)

I personally feel the same as you. I've been using CM9 since I bought my Nexus back in December '11 and I flash nearly every nightly that's released. So keeping with the trend and to stay cutting edge I will upgrade to stock JB until CM10 or whatever it's gonna be called comes out.
Just my 2 cents

As soon as Rascream gets it ill give it a go... I have been in stock, aokp, cm9,eb,paranoid,fh and tried all the kernels franco/trinity /glados/stock with all the roms also got all the apps control for the main kernels trinity/franco/glados and I kept going back to cm9 they do a perfect job and it's a great rom combined with Franco or Linaro franco its a beast getting over 4500 in quadrant at 1600mhz 512mhz gpu and the phone was smooth as the real hell but hey the battery drain at such performance its crazy... so with cpu at 1400 and interactive governor battery was about 15 hours with 4 hours screen, and still buttery smooth... or at least that's what I thought.... until 2 days ago I decided to try a Linaro optimized rom and the name Rascream came up since I'm trying the franco Linaro seemed to be a good idea...
Gentlemans I don't think I'm going back to any other rom after trying this.. he encourage to use it along with trinity Kernel and i gave it the go... now the phone its so smooth that I can't believe it... damn... And the battery over 20 hours with 5 hours screen lol... Well I'd just can't imagine what it will be with jb Linaro optimized and hey I won't ever use non Linaro rom again...
just my opinion and my experience

This. To be honest CM9/MIUI are gonna hold me over till jelly bean starts making its way into the branches. I'm banking on 4.1 being incremental at most anyways so it shouldn't take too long. I really can't see Google revamping again unless they do it for tablet mode only
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
Well, if it offers improvements in areas that one my phone need to be improved, certainly I will make the early transition, however, I will probably wait until there is a custom ROM and Kernel or two available.
As soon as a stock/rooted version for yakju hits either Google's factory image page or XDA, I'll try it out as soon as I can.
As it seems to be JB will be a point update, basically a polished and tweaked ICS , so stability should not be in question, so i guess as soon as it's officialy released there's no reason not to go for it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm sticking with 4.0.1 yakju for the next week and incrementally updating to 4.0.4. I've had to many problems with random rebooting... so testing different theories out first.
If Jellybean addresses the random reboot issue (still haven't found anything concrete on XDA or other about the potential causes) I'll likely give it a shot right away. Worse case scenario I revert back to my .1 backup (or whichever stable version my phone is running on at the time).
I'm thinking of waiting for a CM. CM9.1 anyone?

This is XDA developers of course people here are going to want to upgrade to the newest version

Well as soon as I get the update notification... I'll take it. Why wouldn't you? Its not like there are going to be massive bugs or anything. If there's a serious problem it wouldn't be released.
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!

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!

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

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
