I'm finally going to root my phone, i was wondering what the best and most stable rom in your own opinion. I'm looking at GummyBear and it seems to be talking to me the most. Any input would be great. Thanks guys
I find that AOKP + Franco gives me the best battery life / smoothness but I would recommend testing the waters to determine what you like most.
honestly every phone is differently. Im currently running cm9 kang with the trinity kernel.
I found that this runs the best on my phone.
When i tried aokp-franco, i literally couldn't use my phone. I have no idea why but it was just super laggy on my phone.
So i recommend you to try out all different roms and kernels to find the best match for your phone
CM9 nightly + Franco kernel is beast on my phone. The thing with CM9 that you may like is the constant updates, improvements, and new features. It is never ending what they come up with, I have been with them through many devices and they never fail to impress.

Just don't make them, they are deleted as soon as they are seen in certain forums on XDA, I'm surprised they are allowed in this section.
It's so subjective it's almost pointless to ask. Like I said to someone a couple of days ago, 99% of the time the threads with 100,000 more posts than others are usually the most popular.
When I got my Nexus a few weeks ago I did what I always do when flashing a ROM/kernel to a new device, I did a bit or research, and selected what I thought to be the 'best'.

thanks, that's what i'm running now, seems to be okay. I've notice the my verizon app doesn't work with it? and did you tweak with the performance @ all?
I'm not using CDMA, but AOKP + franco.kernel is available on both versions.
Tons of additional settings to play with and feels much snappier to use.

An insult, way to go.
223 people have viewed this thread, five have posted, three have suggested ROMs, the three people have all suggested different ROMs... getting my point? It's subjective.
I'm not going to argue with you all day, or even return the insult. Enjoy Gummynex, I'm sure it's a fine ROM.
You are right in saying it is subjective. HOWEVER, for a new user like me, it is nice reading why people think a ROM is good so I may choose one that may fit my needs.

So why not search 'best ROM' threads? Instead of adding to the plethora of threads already made?
Hi i am absolutely new to flashs,mods and so on.
So my question is ... what ROM is probably the best in terms of speed, stability and especially USABILITY for my galaxy nexus GSM ??? and dont really like the stock ones, so maybe someone can suggest a really good custom one ....
pls help me !
kind regards from

I prefer AOKP with Glados Kernel.
It has been said before that there is no "best" ROM, every user has different preferences and requirements in a ROM. Try them all.

Realistically speaking, it is impossible for one to sit down and try every ROM. Because in order to fully experience the ROM you need to have it installed for a couple of days to conclude.
The best way to find the best 'ROM' is to look at the thread and read it's features. Read the first couple of posts, then start reading posts backwards. Like what you see? then try out the ROM.
Ok thanks Buddys ... i just try it out ... Maybe i find one fitting my imagination.
peace to y'all
Well i have tried a lot also spent some bucks getting things trying to get better and after all that i figured that nothing its better than a stock image rooted in the long way Google fix the glitches and bugs and the system its way more stable and reliable

Well its not impossible.. And you're right a few days of having each one installed is necessarily to draw a conclusion. What I meant was try them all that you find appealing. I wouldn't expect anybody to flash one that they didn't like the looks of just to "try them all" lol.

I prefer more customization than stock. I was on stock for months and finally got tired of it recently. I flashed AOKP and have really been enjoying all the extra options like the toggles and the custom batteries and such.

Lol who knows. Someone might take the wrong way and actually download every single one of them and try them if they have the time to do so
No best rom. However, you can use this as a reference point: I am using AOKP b29 with Morfic's Trinity Kernel and all is smooth and great battery life.

I usually start by thinking of the specific options and customization that I want. From there just spend time looking at all of the roms available and if they contain what you want. If you can't find anything that way start flashing until you find what you want.

Not everyone has the leisure to do that because there are so many ROMs and kernel combinations. The chances of testing EVERY single little thing with the same variables such as reception, apps, background data, usage (heavy, moderate, minimum usage), these are just many of the variables that affect battery life.
By the time you complete that task, something newer will be out. It's like asking, "what's the best phone?" are we going to buy every single phone and try it? No.. we're going to look at user feedback and draw our own personal conclusions on which is the best for us because there is no best phone/ROM/kernel... the best one is the one that fits our personality.
No need to be a jerk.
Aopk will do you perfectly from what your saying. Give milestone 4 a flash, stable quick loads of customisable options for you to play with. No Lagg, excellent performance aswell as battery life.
Nothing else springs to mind in terms of stability, other good roms out there and cm9 however it's in builds with no milestone, so less stable.

CM9 is ridiculously stable at the moment; they just have a different definition of "stable". That said, for people who like a plethora of customizations; it's not there yet.
As everybody points out, your choice of ROM is personal, so I'd just start flashing until you find one you love. Find a popular one (AOKP, Gummy, Code name, Tranquilice) and flash it. If you're in love, stick with it, if something bugs you, find another ROM that doesn't have that.
The nice part about Nandroid backups is that there is little risk of flashing something new, and you'll likely know within a few hours whether a given ROM is right for you, and can revert back easily.
For me, once I installed Gummy (Lean kernel), nothing else lasted more than a few hours on my phone. I may flash something else every so often, but I keep coming back. That's ROM love.

Stock is always best. I personally think the extra features in custom roms are worth the slightly less battery life.

Wow... Unless something is lost in translation, it sounds like you really aren't interested in what XDA-Developers is all about. While there are numerous knowledgeable folks here who will happily help others and answer questions, it's not a place to drop in and have people serve up just what you want to know on demand. If the answer to your question were truly a "cut and dried" affair, then you'd likely see some information in the Wiki listing "the best ROM / kernel combination for battery life", and all of the conversations and ROM / kernel experiments and tweaks relating to that topic would be moot. But that's simply not the case. "Best" will differ across users and configurations, depending on usage patterns, installed apps, strength of 3G / 4G / Wi-Fi signals throughout the user's day, etc. Whether or not you, personally, care about the feature sets that custom ROMs offer, most of the folks here do, in fact, care -- and that's why many of us are here. That's why the developers put in countless hours researching, developing, testing and tweaking their ROMs, kernels and utilities.
Finding "the best" will be a different search for each user, based on unique circumstances and interests. That's why it's so great that there are, in fact, so many choices here. But making the best use of the site requires that you be willing to read the discussions, do some searching, and then perhaps ask questions in various discussion threads that will help you find out what you hope to learn. If you're not willing to do that, and if you dismiss 90% of the development effort here as being pointless, I'd suggest that you probably won't find what you're looking for here.
Battery life is what it is on the Galaxy Nexus. I havent really seen THAT big of a difference with all the ROM/Kernel combos I have tried. Its the phone itself. If you have that big of a problem with it, I suggest getting an extended battery or a new phone.
You're right. You should take your questions to those forums. If you think any policies are going to change just because you complain about them you are clearly not the type of member XDA is intended for.
Jesus dude stay stock and quit wasting everyone's time with useless threads.

Nobody tells you that you must try every ROM.
What's the difference of all the ROMs for Nexus:
- Another "ROM developer"
- Different features
- Different look
- Different experience
- Etc..
If you like to complain about the things then put even your thread to Q&A section!! -_-
I am using my modified STOCK Android ROM and battery life is great so stop complaining and use Android phone with stock Android OS or go to use iPhone with the same firmware which almost everyone iPhone user uses..
And also Battery life doesn't just depend of "Kernel", also many other things affects to battery life.
that was a difficult read. so i didn't
My suggestion go with a ROM that is pretty much stock AOSP, and not AOKP in your case. Stick with a ROM like KALO's that is just basically the AOSP Stock ROM with almost no mods, if you worried about battery life.
I mean we could tell you but we'd have to kill you and that's against the XDA rules.

First of all "castom" isn't even a word. It's CUSTOM. Second, it's not really a good idea for noobs to take it upon themselves to blast people like you just did. This is a DEVELOPMENT forum. Just because YOU think a ROM is useless doesn't make it so. And seriously, if a MOD thinks a thread needs to be closed, it's closed. Period. Again, just because YOU think it shouldn't be doesn't make it so. Finally, don't expect to be spoon fed here. It's not tolerated well, and "Tell me the best ROM" threads generally aren't either if I remember correctly. The best way to learn is to read read read. There is a wealth of info here. Most people figure out the best ROM for them by reading and testing.
Chill out and start educating yourself on what this forum is all about.

Every phone is different, even if it is the same model every phone is different. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa. If you can spend a lot of time customizing then you can spend some time figuring out how to get better battery life.

I have a rooted GNEX with CM 10.1 installed.
My phone gets very hot on the back side when I use the internet. Is there a solution to this? Also the battery life is not as good as it was on ICS.
Thanks.
I've been around since cyanogenmod was just another rom along with bugless beast and whatever the hell was running things on eclair/mytouch and ive compiled kernels hundreds of times back when slackware linux 3.5 was out so i feel like im somewhat of a vet and i appreciate the fact that i have a nice little linux device permanently connected to a broadband connection with so much support in a neat little package.
=)!
and yet i never say anything on XDA i just appreciate... unfortunately i cant post in the development forum because i dont say much ;/
big thumbs up to cyanogenmod for taking their work so seriously and being so persistent, you guys must really love what you do, trust me i know the feeling =]
i just got this phone last week and before i did anything i rooted and installed the latest CM with whatever kernel appealed to me in the dev forum and i thought seriously my screen was defective i had no idea it was just a rom/kernel issue so im glad that over with.
i updated to cm22, and the flicker started again when using the 4/20 KT kernel so ill just stick with cm20 +kt420 for now what an unbelievable combo!
and i'm kinda disappointed in AOKP every time i check the AOKP/task thread somebody is always complaining about something that doesn't work... AOKP used to be my favorite. (when the ICS days began atleast.. i loved it on my gnex)
and by the way... to people having problems flashing between kernels, when you flash a kernel, wipe cache/dalvik, then flash the rom again, then gapps, then the new kernel. kernels include more things than just addition lines of code nowadays and thats the simplest way to work around most issues i see people posting about.
that is all!
Somebody is always complaining about things not working? I see every post in my thread and I don't see what you are talking about. 99.9% of the people that post state how well everything works. The people that complain are the ones that don't follow the simple installation instructions. You might need to read through the thread again. Or just try it out for yourself.

We have a large dev community compared to many devices out there. I actually came from a galaxy nexus because I got bored of only aosp roms that were all pretty much the same.
(sorry, had to do it )
Tasks AOKP is by far the best ROM out there for the AT&T S3. I have run it longer than any other ROM i've tried and have had absolutely zero problems with it. I will never use anything else for this phone. Just my personal experience of course.
Whoaa guys ease up on the bashing... OP had only one sentence in his post that was negative everything else was positive.
I think everyone appreciates the hard work and time that devs put into all the different roms/kernels available out there.
Up until the late, I can agree that the 3.4 kernel builds (for any ROM including Tasks) weren't all that great which is why I was using CarbonROM with the BMS kernel (3.0).
But I updated to Tasks 4/23 and everything has been great...super super smooth.
Tasks updated kernel has been smooth. I'm running his newest now, flashes it a few hours ago and love it. The devs for the S3 are wonderful. So many more options than other android phones I've had in the past.

It takes me longer to download a ROM than it does to flash it, restore data and check out all the main features for functionallity..... and you're calling them out by name without trying them?
Gutsy move.
Nothing wrong with AOKP and we have a fantastic aosp community. They seem to be more active then the original development. If anything I'm disappointed with the lack of touchwiz ROMs. All and all. We have a good community and a good group of developers here. /end thread.

This thread sucks, I want the last 5 minutes back
3rd party ROMs are always works in progress. its not like anyone here is hiding the fact that these are all "in development". not all ROMs are "for" everyone, but that's the beauty of it, there's a flavor for everyone.
I personally prefer ROMs that are subtle improvements to the stock experience which give me a more enhanced version of what Samsung intended. BUT, there are times I'll think about getting a nexus 4, so I'll run a aosp/cm/aokp based ROM while scratching that itch. or those days I wished I had a note 2, we've got options with multi window and page buddy fully working.
if you don't like it, don't use it... simple as that. I've never critisized a ROM or developer if I don't "get" their work, that just means its not a good fit for me and I move on.

Huh?
1.) Looks as though you forgot something as simple as reading. Read my post again. If you consider any of that one post as bashing then I think you might need to check the emotional state you are in at the time that you read it.
2.) You're definitely not reading the OP. He pretty much stated that he hasn't even tried the ROM before judging it. That right there speaks for itself.
3.) Please do yourself a favor and grow up a little. Stirring up the pot with the highschool antics doesnt accomplish anything.
4.) Gold stars for you dude. Keep on contributing this wasteful drama here in a development site. That makes a ton of sense.

Theres no such thing due to personal preference and ones needs vs others..its not to hard to spot the popular ones.
There is no such thing. The "best rom" is the one that you like the most, the one that works best with your phone.
All phones behave a bit differently with different roms, all users use them differently. fact.
If you're not willing to take the time to read the threads (the OP and at least the last 10 pages), try at least 2 roms for a day each, then you don't deserve to flash a recovery, imho.
xda is not a community that welcomes the lazy.
now, before you go getting all indignant and offended, realize that these threads get started all the time, usually by users that don't bother to read a sticky or the OP of a thread, or are unwilling to participate in the community in general. then a mod comes along and after several people reiterate the things I've said (with lesser or more degrees of politeness) and shuts it down. by your post/thanks count, I'm hoping you're not one of those.
so? get to flashing! good luck.
(looks like you caught me writing a novel, evolving. )
No bro I've been around just got the note yesterday, and wanted a little input in what roms are out there. Believe me I'm not one of those guys that ask the stupid questions if you feel me. I understand dif people what different things on their phones. Just had the S2 and over at S2 site they all kinds of roms and got familiar with some of devs., and I don't really know any of your guys work over here.

now, before you go getting all indignant and offended, realize that these threads get started all the time, usually by users that don't bother to read a sticky or the OP of a thread, or are unwilling to participate in the community in general. then a mod comes along and after several people reiterate the things I've said (with lesser or more degrees of politeness) and shuts it down. by your post/thanks count, I'm hoping you're not one of those.
so? get to flashing! good luck.
(looks like you caught me writing a novel, evolving. )

No bro I've been around just got the note yesterday, and wanted a little input in what roms are out there. Believe me I'm not one of those guys that ask the stupid questions if you feel me. I understand dif people what different things on their phones. Just had the S2 and over at S2 site they all kinds of roms and got familiar with some of devs., and I don't really know any of your guys work over here.

Devs here are top notch, and we have a good selection to choose from.
Many ROMS will have MA7/MC2 in the title if they are Touchwiz based, these roms are really smooth and a lot of them are themed heavily. I ran digiblur's rom for a while because it was the most stock looking, only the statusbar was changed. I really like the SlimRom and Carbon as far as CM goes, they are both very smooth and have great performance. I am downloading and flashing Liquidsmooth now. Be careful with the CM roms though as 4g has become and issue in the past couple updates. (Because of CM not the devs). They are working on it though so I am sure it will be fixed soon. I am not in a 4g area so I don't really care lol. Anyways like everyone said, the devs are great here and pretty much all the roms are outstanding and will be better than stock!
