I just got my Nexus 7 in the mail on Tuesday and I love it and I was thinking about switching Roms on my galaxy nexus and I had jellybean roms on my mind to switch to since I'm so used to it from the Nexus 7 and I wanted to know whats the best one out by far thanks

Just try them and see which you like. You're going to get responses from someone on every single ROM... There's no perfect or best ROM out there. Its all personal taste.
U right I just wanted to know what is the top preferred one b4 I start running through them all

I heard good things about Bugless Beast and have been very happy.
Only one I tried and have no reason to switch.

There is no real point in these 'best rom threads', as mentioned before, it's based on opinion. Some will like X rom, some will like Y. Some won't like any... it's just a matter of searching the development sections (AND NOT POSTING THIS THERE!!) and deciding on what you feel you'd like. Some include certain features that others don't. Lets bare that in mind
Thanks,

Ordered a nexus today and was checking out the forums over here, little research on what is needed to load up ROMs and what ROMS were out there, so many choose from I can't read them all. What's a few I should check out. I like to be able to them the hell out of the ROMs.
I feel like I hit the ROM mother load, no device I have had has this much developer support. Nice upgrade from the thunderbolt

Welcome, it depends on which device you have. Seeing you had a Tbolt like myself, I'm guessing Verizon. The Verizon galaxy nexus has a lot of support. My honest favorite ROM is one over on Rootzwiki it is basically stock plus emoji and power menu. Very fast very stable.
For a GSM I'm running purity and loving it. Very very stable and fast.

I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?
Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.

hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement
S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.
Transmitted from my SGH-T999.
I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.
Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/

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.

That screen would be really nice though, and a good chunk bigger than the One.

Okay so I love my S4, I also love the community here surrounding the development for the S4. I am currently looking at tablets to get. I am wondering what some suggestions for a good tablet that has community support much like the S4 has. Such as rooting and installing custom Roms onto the tablet.
Thanks everyons

This question belongs in this thread....

It's a whole thread devoted to discussion of other devices, specifically to keep extra threads like this out of the forums.
That said....Samsung Tab 2 or Tab 3. I've got a Tab 2 and love it. It's easily just as customizable at the S4. The new Tab 3s have an even better screen in them and are already getting popular with developers.

I'll second the Nexus 7 (2013) since I've had a good experience with it and the support. I keep my S4 so I can do Samsung things on it and the Nexus to play around with stock android. If you really like Samsung and the touchwiz ui, go for the tab.
