You could try our elite lunar kernel. We have aosp, gpe, and sense versions. Feel free to post on that thread if you get hung up.

Hi All,
I just got the galaxy nexus and I'd like to root it and get a custom rom. I'm totally new to android phones (although I have android tablets) and have no clue which custom rom will work best. I know of cyanogenmod. But there seems to be many others and I am wondering what at the moment is the best, most stable, newest build etc custom rom for the phone?
Any help and possibly some download things would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402341
This is smooth among the available ROMs.
Hope it helps.
My advice is simple... Try them all! then pick what is right for you. There are change logs and other info in the roms OP that address things that work and things that have issues. I tried a few and landed on the Gummy rom so far it has suited my needs.

Thanks a lot! Looks like a nice rom. I noticed the android version is 4.03. I have seen/read different articles on 4.04 and 4.05. I'm curious if there are any stable roms with the newest versions around. Might be too early though and I don't want to have a buggy rom.
Hey guys I want to make sure I'm safe when switching from rom to rom, and I am just confused about kernels. I understand that different kernels pertain to certain roms (AOSP, CM, TW, etc..), but what I don't understand is do all roms contain kernels? So will I always be safe switching from one rom to another, or do I need to make sure the roms come with the required kernel and how? So confused .
Thanks for the help.

AOSP has its own kernel and will most likely come with a kernel when you flash a AOSP ROM that goes for CM also. If you are just jumping from one TW to one TW rom you can just use the STOCK kernel. I know the JEDI ROM comes with its own SABER kernel and PERSEUS you have to flash yourself. Both these kernels are TW kernels so do not flash it to a AOSP kernel. This will result in a boot loop.
Thanks! Def appreciated. I was looking at Jelly beer and it said in the OP, make sure you have the correct recovery/kernel so I don't really know where you're supposed to get the CM kernel from. Ill just make sure to read carefully, and always ask first i guess.
Flashing PA 3.1 now, wish me luck!!!

haha yeaaa just read through everything. I have converted to TRWP recovery.
but PA 3.1 should be nice! I use alot of the samsung apps so I keep to the TW roms
I'm having great results with Vanilla RootBox and the SoapKernel
Hey and always just do a backup. That way doesn't matter what happens you can always restore.

Hi guys I have just flashed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705334) however it is not the renovatePLUS version, how do I flash with the PLUS version, need it since it has mods and tweaks which I will need, auto-inverted rotating screen is driving me nuts!
FYI: I downloaded the plus zip but I dont know what to do with it, do I just extract into my phone? Because that did not work.
Also, I saw this guy, username(csec) with this signature (Phone: Renovated Endeavoru, F4, XM-Kernel #296 (Most fantastic combo in my entire experience with HOX)). I want to use have those thing stated, already have Renovate(will flash PLUS once I know how), and there is F4, anyone knows what that is? and finally XM-Kernel #296, which I believe is this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136731), can anyone please confirm is that is a similar one that I can use? Sorry for asking so many question, I finally decided to go deeper with flashing kernels and stuff and I require some professional advice, so please help! Thank you!

It doesnt seem to state on that thread that I have to do it through recovery. But thanks anyway!
For kernels I have one more question. Can I just use the kernel as provided? Of course checking that it is meant for my device 1st. Because there seems to be this confusing thing called repacking...

I RUINED my device before with kernels i didn't know how to use them and obviously i bricked my device so please dont try anything unless u gain experience
Repacking is like making peanut and jam sandwich its like making the kernel work with ur rom if u are using renovate u dont need to repack for XM kernels

If there are no Ramdisc tweaks in the ROM, you don't need to repack the kernel... Mostly kernel repacking isn't needed for Sense roms... So you just have to flash the boot.img from the kernel's zip and then flash the modules from recovery...
AOSP/AOKP Roms need kernel repack each and every time before flashing!

Sense roms these days are a lot so i suggest repacking as it will not do any harm!

Help once more!
Hi, so after researching a little bit more, I decided change my kernel to the XM kernel(original non-repacked), tried it for a few days, noticed that it response quite slowly compared to default kernel, things like slow display of lock screen upon power on, less smooth transition when. Could I have done it wrongly? Other than the slow response everything else seems fine, I noticed one of the features is S2W, I tried that on my buttons and it worked, however fast charge usb and usb mass storage isnt working, is there somewhere I can enable it or do you have an idea where I can find a guide for XM kernels that describes its features and functionality? Sorry for asking so many questions, thank you!
You have rather detailed instruction how to deal with fast charge and USB mass storage in XMister's thread (first one or two posts).
I suggest you install some of the kernel manageent applications:
- trickster MOD
- Set CPU
... There are many. Choose one that fits you (I am personally using Trickster).
There you will be able to play with your governors and scheduler, and thus achieve better performance or battery life. Or both. Check Q&A, there are few very educative threads about it.
You seem to be on a good way. Keep reading.

Hello everyone. I recently rooted my SGS3 and flashed the Dandroid ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121506
It uses a stock kernel, and I would like to use a different Kernel, one that is overclocked with excellent battery life. However, I am not familiar with kernels and how they work. I am not sure which Kernels I am able to use with this particular rom. I do not want to brick my device, I would like some recommendations on a few Kernels that are compatible with this ROM. Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone
This was a very simple question, no one can help ?
So I've been wanting to try out a custom kernel from a different htc one section and I heard they work for aosp but I'm guessing not with sense but it seems like our kernel is always the 3.4.10. How can you tell if a kernel will work? Thanks for your help and I apologize if this has been asked before.
