Ok i have not put anything new on my phone in a month.I have cauks older Rom.I have not even updated it.
I was reading the development section and i am lost in reading.So going to 1 for the first time and not having tons of issues that i get stuck with which Rom seems to be doing the best in the ICS rom section?
I understand ill get different views from people who love 1 person but i really just want to best Rom going on right now.

I like Calks (2) Roms...Either One and and right now Im runnin Mijjah 74's Goodness at the Moment...Ive run all three... All three Roms work exceptionally Well..
probably Calkulin but...
i agree about the three of those being good bets. i've heard and read the most positive things about Calukin's stuff. It's not uncommon for other ROMs to be based on his work.
That being said, I'm also on Mijjah's Blend ICS (the Goodness). The earlier versions had a few more hiccups (mainly GPS). I'm on ver 2.5.1 and have not ran into any issues yet. GPS, check. Notification sounds, check. Notification LED indicator... oh, OK. 1 minor issue so far.
The test builds of CM9 is working pretty well, battery life is kinda bad though and for some reason it doesn't play audio through my car dock.
Sigh, back to Gingerbread I go...
Depends on your personal preference... If you wish to remain on Touchwiz, try one of the above suggestions.
For AOSP, there's CM9, AOKP, and Codename. All are smooth and filled with customizable options.
Personally, I'm in love with Codename(over General atm)

AOKP is badass for sure, TCP did a great job. Much better than the others imo. Havent tried Codename yet but i hear its slightly better due to more customizing

These ICS roms have tons of bugs. Nothing really major aside from complete incompatibility with my bt car kit.
But still, they are far from being a daily driver.
If I had to choose, I'd probably pick aospmod rom.

False, the FC leaks ones are 99% bug free.
CM9, Codename and AOKP all have their share of serious bugs.

I've been running Codename for a week, and haven't experienced a single serious bug. It's almost as solid for me as the GB Touchwiz roms were.
OP, it really depends on what you want. If you want Touchwiz, then I'd definitely go with one of Calk's roms. If you want AOSP, then I'd recommend Codename, followed by CM9, then AOKP.

I think 99% might be an overestimate. Some lucky folk have had that experience, a great many other people are getting only a "few" bugs, but fundamental ones, like borked contacts and failing notifications, etc.

What do you mean by 99% bug free? One percent of phone functions are broken? Out of what, a thousand?
I'd agree. And that one percent is almost always a deal breaker.

I said serious bugs. I don't ever use my video camera, so it's not a serious bug for me. It may be to the OP, and if so, then I would recommend that they stay on a rom where the video camera works.

I don't know of any rom on any phone that works 100%. Even official Samsung releases don't work 100%.
I keep running back to gingerbread. I kept telling myself that I will try ics when its an official release. I get the itch to flash something and always go back to what works. I was running for a day, a rom from someone, but had to Odin back to EL29 because there was something I wanted to do but couldn't because of a snafu. I personally prefer stability over the newest bells and whistles.

Same here. I keep telling myself it would be the same, buggy enough not to be useful as a daily driver, but the flashaholic in me takes over.
So, hours are usually wasted.
Yeah i think ill just update cauks non ics rom for a bit yet and let the bugs play out.
I've been running Agat63's tFCXX series (currently on tFC18 0.1.1) since FC06; they're as smooth as ICS roms get, IMHO. A nice light "frosting" of the AOSP ICS look (courtesy of tiffany84), choice between stock and rogue-repacked (w/ CWM recovery) kernels, otherwise generally fairly close to the "stock" leaks except where Agat can convince himself he's not adding bugs/instability beyond what is naturally going to be in a leaked pre-release with build.prop tweaks, bloatware trimming, and such. Plus he's incredibly responsive to his users' requests and very open to providing them options.
FC06/FC07 was _just_ good enough to be a DD for me (but _barely_). FC15 and now FC18 have been nearly flawless in my experience. Of course, YMMV but I find _very_ little to complain about. Just my experience - the one thing I've learned from reading a LOT in ICS related threads is that everybody's phone behaves a little bit differently, everyone uses their phone a little bit differently, and everyone wants something a little bit different -- my recommendation would be to nandroid and start testing the roms ppl mention in this thread until you find one that works well for you (or decide ICS isn't done enough for you yet and you want to stay on GB a little bit longer).

My recommendation would be to wait until an official ICS release.
There's really not that much new ICS has to offer over GB. Not for this phone anyway.

For tw roms, yes ics is very similar to gb. But there's a world of difference between gb aosp and ics aosp. Like cm7 << cm9. Agreed that there's still bugs to be worked out for any ics roms, but some really good work has been done by our devs without having e4gt ics source released.
OP, if you do try ics roms right now, its a really good idea to be very cautious using any ics recovery. There is a real risk with bricking your phone, especially with aosp roms.

Which do you prefer and why. I Basically want the pro's and con's. I know CM10 is not meant for our phones, heck even CM9 for that matter. So im curious... whats your flavor.
How long have you been using JB (either one) and what's your battery like. Or how did you make it better.
What modem works for you and why.
Let's see some screenshots of your battery.
Its not that its not meant for our phones but not officially supported
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Correct. But it does work better on other phones. But you are correct thanks for correcting me.
I am a big CM fan and after using the alphas I strayed and lived on the Unofficial CM9 nightlies for a while. I found those very smooth, but had sub-par battery.
After jumping back to GB for a month or so, I have played with both CM10 and JB AOSP. As expected, CM10 has more customization options while AOSP is very lean. Performance is very similar between the two as there has been a lot of collaboration between the devs and functionality is continually improving VERY fast with each update.
That being said, the only thing I miss on either ROM is bluetooth for media. Everything else that I use is working without issue. Some have reported LOS, but I have not experienced it with a clean data wipe and fresh install. I am still holding on to the EL29 modem, but considering trying a couple of the newer releases.
As for my preference, I am using JB AOSP as my DD at this point because I have experienced VERY good battery life with practical use CM10 seemed to drain a little faster, but it is coming along quite nicely IMO. Moving from Calks GB 3.0 to the JB ROMS lately has not been a dramatic transition in terms of battery and that is saying something.
I hope that is what you were looking for. Either way, IMO you can't go wrong test driving both and seeing which one does it for you.
Edit 1 (AOSP Alpha 5): Bluetooth media has been working since Alpha 4 and it is very stable. With Alpha 5, the screen transition from portrait to landscape (and back) is more responsive as it has been a little slow in the previous builds. This is a very nice build. The battery issue seems to be that the phone does not charge completely but shows 99-100% when disconnecting from the charger. Sbrissen has noted a potential battery fix on Alpha 5. I have not had it long enough to report anything at this point.

I've been waiting for a post like this since Sbrissen released the ROM. Think I shall finally give it a go and see how it runs.
cm10 ftw.
after using cm you'll find it hard to go back to anything else! (unless its aokp)
there is just endless customization options..
cm10 may have more features for me aosp is a lil better far as battery and smoothness i ran both for a lil over a day aosp is the winner
Check out SB's AOSP Alpha 3. All the reviews say it is coming along nicely (almost Beta)
I tried it back when it was private, and it was amazing (other than LOS, which he seemed to have fixed)
So I'm installing it again now.
CM10 vs. AOSP
Well, for me CM does the trick. And when I got the EpTouch and found out it was not supported by CM, I was heartbroken. The Epic Touch is such a wonderful device with its screen, and CPU power; granted there are a number of devices currently better than this phone.
I think CM is a better choice just for how well they support development. I have never had an AOSP ROM before, but I enjoyed being able to boot into recovery from hitting the power button. I even enjoyed playing with a few of the CM settings in the phone.
AOSP is just pure, 100% Android, and is great if that is what you want. But, I still want a little suprises here and there.
Cm is very stable for the epic. They are quite close to official I would say.

Use el26 cwm and wipe everything. To go back just use one click.
Well I was running the AOSP build and loved it with the exception that WiFi tether won't work. Can anyone confirm it works on cm10 before I go through the trouble of flashing?
From what I read, Wifi tether is not working on Jellybean right now and have been running CM10 Alpha 4 for over 12 hours now. Let your Rom settle. It takes time to set your accounts back up with syncing and will drain your battery the first cycle. The first battery cycle had 3 hours. I left it off and let it charge over night. I have now had it off the charger for an hour and half and am still at 87%. A huge increase since first cycle. In that same time I have a 1% Time without Cell signal (LOS).... I had this on GB, just b/c I have one tower about 3 miles away that I'm anchored to. If you haven't already I would recommend flashing the new FH13 modem as well.

Well, from what i read from your reply is, I dont know what im talking about , yada yada yada.... If you read a little closer it says wifi tether is not working on the AOSP build. I clearly asked above if someone could verify that it is indeed working on the CM10 build. Is that what you are trying to say? Cause no one here said they are having problems with syncing or other accounts.
Cm10 alpha 4 is running great, I was running el29 modem but I had some issues with Los, after I upgraded to fh13 I have not experienced any more Los. also turning off location services gets better battery in deep sleep.

CM10 alpha 4 is not working well for me with LOS issues. I keep getting LOS atleast 4-5 times a day needing a reboot... going to try ASOP.
So i know this has been discussed before, but i was out of the game for a while i got an evo 4g lte but because there is not 4g in salt lake y decided to go back to epic 4g touch and i would like to know your opinion so i can root my phone and use a good rom ( i love google now) so if there is an good rom with this feature let me know THANK YOU in advance

AOKP
Think it all comes down to what you want, I typically run one for a while, try another till I find a good home.. So far... I've ran CM10, Super Galaxy 1.8, AOKP. I'm on Super Galaxy 1.8 currently.. but i'll be swapping out and trying MIUI and giving CM10 or AOKP a shot. They are quickly fixing things with both of those for JB. But flash one, give it a shot.. See what you think!

It's no prob. Just spend some time looking at them.. read some of the post (later ones in the thread) to see what issues/problems are being tracked and fixed. Best thing is.. you can always flash another if ya don't like it (I currently have 3 on my SD card lol)
If you are looking for an all around good battery life and super stable setup. Both the Gingerbread Blazer ROM and ICS Blazer Rom are great. I got 5 days on one charge once with the GB Blazer ROM.
Well I was using Caulkins' but recently tried The Universe and Blu Kuban. And I really really like Blu Kuban.
I've been using Phantoms CM10 and I love it, JB is the way to go
CM10 nightlies.. if I could only figure out how to get the mounts changed because I don't use an external sd card..
I agree on the cm10 latest nightly but make sure to flash 5.3 first or it may give you sdcard errors.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
For daily use CM9 beta 1. I don t think CM10 is quite polished enough although its fun to try out and see whats will be ready soon. For touchwiz roms my recent favorite is Coalition black
No-Name was what I ran the longest.
About to switch to nightlies from the 5.3 alpha CM10 from Phantomphreak53. I loved the theme in No-Name, and battery life was fair. I got to say though, the CM10 is the coolest thing I seen on this phone since I tried Hybrid Paranoidandroid ICS. Tempted to try the JB version. I got two batteries and on CM10, I get 4 hours on one and 5 on the other. On No-Name I got 10-14 hours on the bigger battery, with 2-3 hours screen time.
No google Now on No-Name.
Google Now works good in CM10. The 5.2 has SD cards backwards, and it gets flopped in 5.3. 5.3 has more bugs. google search gets an update after installing the ROM (that doesn't happen in 5.2) and using the keyboard and typing in chrome or built-in browser is causing FCs. I think it may be from taking the search update, just haven't tested this yet. The Apollo app in 5.2 kept adding the same songs to the list every reboot. I moved the music from external to internal SD and that fixed the issue. Bluetooth pairing was instant in 5.2, but I had to remove and repair every time in 5.3. When playing music, in 5.3, turning the screen on will cause audio to cut out for a split second. Those are things I was having issues with. I like the ROM so much still, I can't bring myself to dump it. It is fast and smooth in most areas, and Phantomphreak53 will work this till it is smooth and stable, just look at his other work. Top notch Dev. there! I use my phone twice as much now with JB. May be part of why I only get 5 hours on battery.
ICS ROMs I really like:
Agats
BluKuban
PhantomHacker
For some reason or another always came back to Agats.
The day I became paranoid [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867283] I fell in love and have yet to leave. Keep in mind this is JellyBean based and still being worked on. However, I have yet to run into any real problems besides battery life, but there are some things you can do to help that and eventually it will be better. Nothing beats controlling individual app DPI settings, as wells as themes, and so on [at least for me].
cm9 beta 1. awesome battery/stability/daily driver.
I use CM10 nightlies with little issues. If you have a problem with superuser, just download SuperSU in it's place.
I just flashed Clean Blue (ICS): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910714
Awesome because it gives a pure ICS feel/theme over TouchWiz. Been great so far!

Hi there,
I recently purchased a used Galaxy Nexus from eBay after having seen the good spec and for the low price. I have a few questions before I receive the phone and I'd like to know what ROM would be the best to use, I have seen a stable Cyanogenmod is this the best? Also, I have seen some questions around issues on battery life, has anyone using this ROM had any problems and if so what advice could you give?
I have previously owned the Orange SF 1 and 2 and was not satisfied with battery life after having changed the ROM etc. and I don't want to have those issues with this phone. So, I appreciate any help I can get with my questions, thanks!!
Every single rom I've used has pretty much been the same with battery. The battery on the galaxy nexus isn't the best. That's how it was built. No rom is going to magically make it better. Any difference in battery you get will be minimal and depend more on how you use your phone. I suggest try out some ROM and kernel combinations and see what works for you. There are plenty to chose from and honestly, they are all good. You aren't going to get one single answer from everyone here.

Thanks for your reply. All right, does the battery for you last on a day to day basis? I don't want to mess about with ROMs too much, I am looking for that one ROM that would be most stable and I won't have to change. What is the stock Android like on the Nexus, also I have seen "PARANOIDANDROID" to be very popular so is that good, what do you use? Thanks again!

I am not one to answer these questions. I work at a desk all day with a charger in my phone pretty much the whole day so battery has never been an issue. But if you arent doing a lot to your phone all day like streaming music and movies and gaming then you should be fine. As for your other question, I have been on a different ROM every week since 4.3 came out. lol. All of them are nice and smooth and good ROMs. If you like a lot of features, go with Paranoid Android. If you like minimal stock go with Cyanogenmod or any other AOSP ROM. Stock isnt all that bad either though. Its like I said, try some out and find what you like. As long as you know what you are doing, you shouldnt have any problems flashing a bunch of stuff. Thats the fun part anyway.

I cant think of any unstable ROMs that we have. The good thing about the Galaxy Nexus is that the developers dont have to do any workarounds to get things working. Its a completely unlocked phone with all the tools for developing available for them. So all the ROMs that are made pretty much have everything working in it.
EDIT: Oh, and just make sure you use the ROM that is made for your device. If you have the unlocked GSM version, you need ROMs made for "Maguro".

Thanks a lot for all your help! Since, I have installed Cyanogenmod and stuck to Android 4.2, as ParanoidAndroid wasn't for me. I have also used the Touchwiz UI and it looks great. The battery life I am happy with it even though it does go down a little more than average, but it's fine for me. Thanks again, great phone!
im my defense this is clearly the WORST rom availible today with touchwis all the mk4 roms are horrible for many severe reasons such as the batterylife sucks no matter what anyone says the rom crashes and lags and restarts randomly the wifi is horrible. im never gonna go back to 4.3 mk4 EVER again because of those issues. theres one MAJOR screwup with all mk4 roms when you go to flash wifi patch you better never plan on going to aosp because that patch currupts your phone making wifi work. when you flash any aosp rom it doesnt load instead gives bootloop. now since i downloaded the worlds worst rom and installed on to my phone it was cool at first but i realised all the bugs and was discusted. now i have to go back and Return to stock and START over again! Not a happy person at all
Go ahead and point out my flaws or tell me than i dont have a clue what im talking about but i dont care because i know i do and i see problems lots of them. this is worst than carbonroms 4.4.2 release where the home button didnt work and play store wasnt there. this rom tops in my book.
when i get back to unrooted and root again im STICKING with AOSP forever as theyre the best rom availible. on SBRISSEN's cyanogenmod 4.4.2 nightly releases theres a DAY AND NIGHT diffrence with batterylife. the aosp batterylife is substancially better than TW the TW rom overheats the phone and causes it to crash wheres the AOSP rom doesnt overheat the phone doesnt cause it to crash and gives amazing batterylife..
BETTER YET! the aosp camera is better than TW camera all day! if your not satisfied with aosp or tw camera use my personaly FAVORITE called camera fv-5 the most amazing DSLR look alike camera app.
Thankyou for taking the time to look at my review. just a little heads up before you screw up your phone. i cant wait to see what this stirs up!
Sincerely

I haven't tried none of the 4.3 Roms but I took the update and I know that sucks. I flashed the cm nightlys many times and I still get wierd issues while everyone else is fine. So now am back on 4.1.2 thinking about ordering a N5

i tried this rom and everything worked just fine; even did the wifi/odin fix. went back to cm11 cuz i like the true aosp experience. not sure why you had so many issues; maybe a bad d/l??
Please don't write anymore reviews. Your spelling and grammar are terrible and distract from any point you try to make.
Regarding the rom, I'll agree than it seems every MK4 I've used has a random reboot here and there. Seeing that this happens on all the MK4 roms in my experience, I'm going to say it is not a fault of any developer, but one of the base by either Sprint or samsung.
Your other issues are yours alone. For battery, I posted in that thread picture showing 38 hours with 5 hours screen time on version 1.2..I'm not sure how that can be seen as horrible. I've also flashed aosp roms and have gone back to TW with zero issue. So, while your experience may have not been good, please state this review is only "your experience" and not "clearly the worst rom avaliable"..based on the amount of posts and praise in that thread, I'd say that a lot of users don't seem to think it's as clear as you think.

Cool story bro. I haven't had any issues of random reboots or over heating, etc. I do know that you don't know what you're talking about by reading the horrible grammar you're trying to spew.
Btw when can I try this bad ass rom you are going to produce for us since you know everything else you've ran runs like complete crap

Man this should be called "Why I should have a dumb phone". People who can't read or write should not even be flashing Roms. Maybe instead of throwing a temper tantrum and trashing peoples hard work why don't you just ask for help. Or shut up and keep your lack of knowledge to yourself.
Now if you like help on learning what YOU did wrong and fix it I can help. You just need to edit your post to something reasonable and list your issues. Oh and apologize for trashing others work.
