Thanks guys. I ended up getting an iPhone for about a year. It was a great phone but boring due to having no customization. This is my 2nd day with the Galaxy Nexus and I love it. Android has really come a long way since I last used it.

Hi Geo411m,
Thanks for your effort, just like to confirm that is it a CWM flashable zip?
Thanks~!!

Well, I ran into a few issues at first. It didn't have any APNs, but I reset APNS to default then restarted the phone and all is well now.
So far so good, no real issues now that it's up and running. Thanks!
And yes, it's flashable via CWM.

thanks kitinas.

damn, I'm forced to login/create account with 4shared now? bah..
nevertheless, thanks for sharing

Did you wipe caches after install? This rom was created using the system image directly from google and therefore should work exactly as OTA. Not sure why the apn weren't there on first use.

Stock or AOKP
Receiving my brand new NEXUS tomorrow. Need to make a decision whether to go with stock ROM vs AOKP.
My history has been HyperDroid CM7 on an HD2 so i am on completely new ground. Can any and all give me your top 10 reasons to go either way?...........

In my opinion I feel stock (with a few tweaks) offers more stability. I've seen too many AOSP give lots of FC/crashes and I rather have a working phone then have it crash while outdoors and you have to wait to get home to fix it.

My experience in Stock tells me, you can only be with stock for so long...
...till you get frustrated enough to
first - atleast change the Kernel (go for franco kernel, one of the best out there). that makes things a bit snappier, has much more tweaks under the hood for battery life, wifi et al
Then, second, figure out how many more features are available in ROMs out there instead of stock. Once you find that - it is very difficult to stick to stock. Try APEX which is a very generic rom and keeps best features of most of the ROMs out there.
So basically, take it easy, and enjoy the ride ... (or enjoy the bumps first then figure out a way to sail smooth!)
You wont like the smooth sailing of a beautiful rom and a kernel out there, till you've had it rough enough on stock. I just used the rom in this thread, and my phone went down by atleast 30% in terms of performance.
Its much more sluggish, feels heavier, and a bit jerky through the menus. Even when I have almost no apps installed!
I was much better on a 4.0.3 bigxie Apex rom (extremely stable) and franco kernel - extremely fast! blazing.
Stock cant even hold a candle infront of this combination, and I'm talking about 4.0.4!!

GPS lock on this stock image is a 1000 times better than CM9. wtf??

I've always had 5-10 second lock on CM9; seems like mileage varies for some people for some reason or another.

I just updated the ROM with a much more optimized system. Let me know how it compares to AOSP.

May I know what did you do to optimize the system? Deodex is to make it slower so I'm wondering what are other tweaks you included that make it different than say ARHD 3.0.

I don't know what's in ARHD to compare. I made lots of changes to the build.prop for increased performance and made changes to the system to make android take advantage of the Nexuses GPU for better performance.

awesome stuff man!!!

Thanks, trying it out now.
Question, is it possible we can get a tweak that will allow us to just tap the search button to get the ICS/JB multitask instead of long pressing the home button. I know it could be done in the ICS roms, it was pretty useful.

I was thinking does anyone think we should all get together as a community and compile a list of what's broken? So then Evan can just copy and paste in the OP (Since I know he's busy ). I noticed with the last thread there was a lot of people reporting the same thing. Maybe if it was in the OP it'd save from the clutter. Plus once there's a list things can get crossed out and people will now what changed from version to version. ?

well done sir :good:

[Q] bad perfomance?

Hi there,
I don't know, if it's my imagination, but I think the tegra3 is not powerful enough to play games like "Need for Speed" or "Shadowgun THD". While playing I'm experiencing fps-drops and laggy tracking shots in cutscenes. I've also tested the gaming boost app, which changed nothing in my opinion.
When I look at a friend's Nexus4, everything is buttery smooth. But: 1080p playback with BS-Player also works smooth as hell on my HOX (with MHL to my TV too). So I think, it's a little bit strange, that I can't play properly.
Someone also encountering this gaming-issue or is it just me?

Well the problem is sense is very heavy requires more ram and htc stock kernel doesn't make the most of the phone so if you want to take most out of your phone flash an aosp rom with ncx kernel repacked for it
Sent from my HTC One X using ViperX 3.2.4

Thanks for your answer. But I would miss sense a lot. So is there any chance of a + in performance with a sense rom?

If you are on stock there is not much I can suggest for you to do. With certain games like need for speed, modern combat etc. it is up to the game developer to optimise it for the device. Unfortunately with some of them like Gameloft there games are not properly optimised for the one x.
If you are rooted and on a custom rom though, there are other possibilities.You can go for a non sense rom like Cyanogenmod, stripped down versions of sense like Renovate, or there are even mods which speed up the device like Renovate gaming boost.

A rom without sense makes no sense to me.
I've already tried the gaming boost-app, but didn't notice any effects.

make sure you havnt got powersave mode on.

Try it, and let me know if there's any difference. Sounds like this might be an issue. The zip only cleans the free space and makes it writable again. Over time it becomes unusable, fstrim repairs it. Doesn't do any harm.
It may be another problem, but this is likely.

Damn, sorry about that.... Thanks for the heads up though, I'll update the op with this info until its fixed.

@Haze028
This rom is amazing. I did get the green demigod kernel panic screen on first boot. I replaced the kernel with the boot.img from Houstonn's 4/2/2013 modded Rootbox, and ran it for about 6 hours without a kernel panic. I did the same thing with your AOKP, and have not seen one kernel panic in 4 days, and can run benchmarks just fine. I am back to running this set up for now due to the rotation issue in Liquid, but once this is fixed I will be back.
Also, I did want to report that Torch is not working on Liquid. This is after a fullwipe. I fixed this by swapping the Torch.apk from Rootbox in the zip and reflashing. I tried copying it to System/App while running the rom, but it would not install, it would just delete Torch all together. I had to add it to your zip before flashing for it to work.
Again, thank you for this amazing rom.

It looks so good,thanks.

I haven't yet had a kernel panic, 11 hours in now. Though I had one case, about 3 hours ago, where the screen would not wake up and I had to power it down and reboot. It has been fine since then.

Well, as you know, I can't turn the NFC off. One more thing is that when I used wifi to connect to the Internet, every thing is ok, but when I use 3G+ to surf the Internet, I found that battery indicator reduced very quickly( quicker than normal even it declined 2-3% in a few times).
And in Performance, I set CPU at min: 384 and max:810 but when I checked, I saw that CPU still run at 1026(I already checked "set on boot"). I don't know if it it an error or not.

You should be able to turn off NFC, if it is sitting greyed out when you unchecked it reboot and try again... Works fine for me.
The frequency thing is known.... I've noticed however using fauxclock it stays down at 384 or whatever it is. Fauxclock is a paid app though so i cant include it. Ill look into an alternate app to use which works better and update when i find it
Edit: as for the internet, I haven't noticed yet...switched back to AOKP, testing the linaro tool chain build. Liquid still is full of issues..... Had trouble building, pretty much hack jobed it through as I didn't have too much time to play.

[Q] Help choosing ROM for samsung galaxy w

Greetings, let me briefly explain my ROM related adventures.
I was sick and tired of the stock rom, it was slow and ugly.
I installed a Paranoid Android rom I found but it got stuck in a loop at boot and I was recomended to try another one that wasn't outdated.
I was recomended a PAC rom. It worked just fine, but it consumed a lot of RAM. Never having too much ram to spare the phone was extremely slow when accessing the store and other "heavy" actions.
Recently I installed the bionic cow rom I saw from the samsung galaxy w rom page but it reboots the phone spontaneously, I found in the thread of the rom that it has been discontinued and I should look for another one.
In sum, I need recomendations for a rom that is both light and good looking, any recomendations?
thanks.

Can I trouble you to share links of threads with those ROM's.
I know my share of computers and programming and even a little of Android. I'm a bit "noob" on the topic of Kernels and other boosts alike.
I'm going to try and search for the mentioned threads/roms.
thanks.

Greetings, let me briefly explain my ROM related adventures.
I was sick and tired of the stock rom, it was slow and ugly.
I installed a Paranoid Android rom I found but it got stuck in a loop at boot and I was recomended to try another one that wasn't outdated.
I was recomended a PAC rom. It worked just fine, but it consumed a lot of RAM. Never having too much ram to spare the phone was extremely slow when accessing the store and other "heavy" actions.
Recently I installed the bionic cow rom I saw from the samsung galaxy w rom page but it reboots the phone spontaneously, I found in the thread of the rom that it has been discontinued and I should look for another one.
In sum, I need recomendations for a rom that is both light and good looking, any recomendations?
thanks.

LINKS (if ur lazy enough to look for it! just kidding )
ROM:CyanogenMod 9 Final Release (EOL)
KERNEL: honeyx 7up 3.0.x HurtSky' Kernel V4.1
in flashing, follow the installation instructions carefully to avoid bricking ur device. nandroid back-up & pristine! goodluck!

ROM: Honami UI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378598
Kernel: Madridii 3.0.x (v3 original with371mb ram): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301504
Really nice ROM, runs sweetly and looks good. With Madridii kernel I am getting up to 2 days out of a charge using Smartassv2 as govenor and SIO as scheduler.
Do a pristine install for trouble free installation and useage.

My usage would probably be best described as light to medium: few phone calls, some sms and mms, ebay, email, weather updates, some web browsing and some tunes (inc stream to DLNA devices), but no gaming at all. I don't use Seeder or Greenify.

Please ignore the mobile network signal bar being too short as it has never worked properly for me since CM9 (randomly stops logging data) - but as you can see the phone wasn't in aeroplane mode as it has signal in the status bar and the wifi has been permanently switched on.

I'm going to try this one.
It's not that I'm "lazy" to look for the links, I did look but I end up getting lost in the ROM descriptions since they get really technicall.
My next question would be "how the heck would I install a Kernel", a bit of Googling revealled a thread about it, I'll post it here in case someone else is reading this and looking for information.

about installing the kernel, just read the 1st page of each kernel thread :good:

Feedback
Hey,
I installed CM9 with the kernel like was suggested here. I decided to post some feedback and news about the rom.
So far it's been neat. I'm getting the performance and battery saving like I did when I had the stock rom, but I have the look and feel of the ICS.
here's a screenshot of the battery saving, it lasted the whole weekend... weekend partly spent discovering the wonder of Pudding Monsters, I've gotten more addicted to that game (in that weekend) more than I'm proud to admit.
In spite of that, the battery last for a good 2 days before crashing. This without any battery saving app or greater care.
(I haven't spent as much time online as I used to, that might've also helped a bit)
There is only one annoyance... two actually:
. (as expected) in the camera, the zoom doesn't work. (I was told cameras don't work that well in custom ROM's, as longs as it takes pictures as is I'm happy enough)
. There doesn't seem to be a usb support. Before, when I plugged the phone to the computer there was a popup allowing me to open some usb mode and allowing file transfer between external and internal sd cards. Now it simply turns on usb debugging.
While this works fine on Windows, the OSX doesn't recognize the device. Thus I cannot plug the android to my mac anymore.
Any ideas for the second part?
PS: Just noticed that my tablet also can't be seen on my mac. This means it's not a ROM problem. After searching the usb options I noticed the Samsung has a "mass storage" option which I think may solve my problems. But the same does not go for my tablet.
My tablet is a Sony S unrooted with stock ROM. It only allows usb connection through MTP or PTP modes, neither works with OSX for some reason.

as far as i tested, you can use liquidsmooth or the newest build pacman for sgw :good:
