I might be wrong but this is what i think
The 1st link you posted is managed by the CM developers, the second link is Tripndroid who based his/her/their rom on the base of the CM developers rom. Basically adding and removing tweaks that this person/team likes and dislikes
If your considering rooting and installing a custom rom. I can recommend the 1st link been using their roms for more than a month now and it's very good rom. If there is anything about sense that you like and will miss try the Sense roms. (Viper and ARHD) are the two major ones that i looked into, before settling on CM10.

hi there just adding to the above post. the first rom is developed with an ultimate goal of becoming the official CM rom, and is ready for everyday use soo far from my experience. The second one is Tripndroid, and he adds his own tweaks as far as i know. however i havent used his ROM yet to know for sure.

Hi there, I am running the ROM from the first post and it's brilliant. I have tried the second one and found it had quite a few bugs and was not nearly as finished as the first ROM. I am busy downloading alpha 5 now to try and am sure it will be just as great as the rest of his updates have been.
Thought I would give my info based on user experience of both ROMs. Also depends on what you looking for; quick ROM or fancy looking, awesome features or a stripped out version.

Well thanks guys, i think i'll go for the TeamNDVRu when i receive my phone, but still waiting september to see if it's worth it or not.
And what about the known issues ?
- Occasional soft-reboots with GPS On + Facebook ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2184 )
- WiFi direct doesnt work
- MHL output is rotated incorrectly to portrait in horizontal mode (but workaround added since alpha 8 for hw decoded videos/youtube. Use bsplayer from playstore, almost all videos play with it in correct rotation in hwoverlay)
- No FM radio app in ROM. But Spirit FM works from market (it's commercial!)
- USB storage copies slower than normal
- Some paid apps loses settings/acconts due to this android jellybean problem: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880 Solution is to backup with Titanium Backup and restore to internal memory, not to sd

Some of them will only occur if you have special need for something. (e.g. wifi direct)
Some of them don't occur for everyone. (facebook+gps reboot)
None of them are really a huge concern if you are willing to try jelly bean. And for most of them there is a workaround, fix given in the text you quoted. I have a jelly bean rom installed and I have to say that I don't really feel any negative impact by those known bugs/issues. But do note, that most of these ROMs are not as stable as the 4.0.4 ROMs like ViperX.

I have been using tbaldens ROM and it has been quite good. The ones by trip I have found to be a bit unstable.

[Q] Should I update to JB ?

Hi,
I am on Dk_Zero ICS (a discontinued ROM now, btw) and I would like to now if I should change to another ICS ROM, upgrade to a JB ROM, or stay on this ROM.
What do you think about that ?
Thanks in advance.

Since neither work 100%, from that position I'd say upgrade.

And what would you actually recommends in all ROM, GB and other versions included ?

I like this one as well. Otherwise I'd use CronMod by croniccorey. Both seem to be quite stable

[Q] Rom optimised GPS

I just got a new phone and i'm going to use my old Desire for gps tracking/photography/Video. So i'm looking for a rom that is 100% stable, has good battery life, camera/video works and has no gps problems.
Before this i have been using the cm 10.0 and 10.1 of VJ which doesn't suit my requirements for now.
I have been thinking about downgrading to the original rom gingerbread 2.3. But it looks like that this one isn't availible anymore on the htc development center.
Does anyone has an suggestion which ROM i should use?

as far as i know, skype is compatible with every rom, custom or kitchen...anyway, i suggest you to install 2 specifics roms, depends of what do you need:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482038 if you want to keep updated with the last versions of android (kit kat isn't so stable, nowdays). This is based on android 4.3.1, it's for daily usage, stable, smooth and very good battery drain. Anyway it's not a finished version, so it will be need for updates sometimes (p.s. i have this rom with skype perfectly working)
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795 if you want a complete rom, with no bugs and completely updated, when you flash it that's it, no updates more. This too is stable, smooth and has a very good battery drain, the only difference with the previous rom that i said is that it's based on android 4.1.2 and it need no more updates. (p.p.s before of the 4.3.1, i had this rom, and skype was working as well as on the 4.3.1)
so choose one and enjoy your galaxy wonder

I've used almost all custom roms and with all of them skype crashed when I leave it (not close it). Now I'm using EHNDROIX III because some people said that it's one of the most stable (and REMICS too), but it's slow.
I'll follow your advice, thanks! If I have any problem, I'll post it here.

Anyone else feel JB was still the "best" version for GNEXUS?

Anyone else feel JB was still the "best" version for GNEXUS?
I've been a flash addict since I got the phone. Always going for the experimental, nightly builds and such.
However, I am getting tired of my gnexus lagging, and slowing down randomly. I've always felt 4.1 JB was very responsive and good memory management for my phone. anyone feel the same way?

4.1 has been the only version of Android I've not had any issues with and I'm still running today.
I think people just get to caught up on having/running the latest/greatest Android version, when really our GN was made to run perfectly on JB 4.1.
4.2 was made for N4
4.4 for N5
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Me too. But ATM I have cm11 (4.4) and it's not bad at all.

4.1 you say?
Mine came with 4.2 so will give 4.1 a try. Battery life was not good with stock 4.2 but better with fancy kernel or any of the newer ROM.
I tried CM11, Avatar, Slim, PA, Vanir and others.

I don't think any particular Android version is "made" for a device in particular.
Yes, Jelly Bean originally debuted on the 2012 Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 saw the next major update but that doesn't mean that Android still can't run on any other device provided that the kernel and ROM are optimized for it. Those devices were just test/reference devices for development.
I have cyanogenmod Kitkat on my device and it runs as good (or better) than stock Jelly Bean.
It's like Windows 8. It runs good on some PCS, whereas on others it lags a bit.
Software is software and to the device it's all the same.

I'm also trying this theory ATM, will upgrade to a new phone soon but 4.4 has really been really slow after a while on my Gnex, even after converting to f2fs..
In other news, I now need to post in general discussion until I have enough posts to post in development so here goes.

For those of you still on 4.1, would you mind uploading and sharing the roms you are using?

This is more than enough. Thank you!

i'm running omni on my toroplus now 4.4.4 and i would have to say this is much better than the stock roms (i've ran 4.1/4.2/4.3) and they all work, but i really dig the 4.4 only camera from google and i'm a version junkie...
i did try just stable releases from CM all the way back to 4.1.2 but couldn't get random things working and didn't feel like taking the time...
so far, between working 4g/3g handoff's, more stable wifi, access to the latest apps that need 4.4 (camera is the only one that comes to mind) i'll run omni...still hoping that the awesome kernel guys will get 3.4 working and we can move to android L for some of that awesome battery life

actually, galaxy nexus was "made to run" ICS if you recall correctly
JB debuted with the original nexus 7

Hello! For this phone is better stock 4.3 or say CM 11 (4.4.4)?

True...
But ICS 4.0 was essentially JB 4.1 without Google Now.
Where JB 4.2+ added multiple changes to various app designs:
Camera
Clock
Gallery
Keyboard
Quick tiles
Multi-User Profiles

Um, "Project butter" was introduced with JB 4.1. I know everyone was after that on their ROMs...

The best Android versions for the Galaxy Nexus are definitely 4.1 and 4.3 final releases. The problems with 4.4.x that finally made me ditch it are the unfixed radio issues and subsequent battery drain. I've heard that some roms such as Dirty Unicorns, Omnirom, and Slimkat have this fixed, or at least the radio cutout issue. My favorites though that give me good battery, performance, and features are 4.1.2 LiquidJB and 4.3.1 Vanir, the latter being my daily driver.
This folder includes 4.1.2 gapps and a few other addons (flash rom, gapps, then addons):

Hi GL
The MD5 for 4.2 TransformPack, gapps-jb-20121011 and pa_toro-2.57-20130116 don't match by the way, even after multiple downloads.
