What is the best Custom Rom?

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!

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.

[Q] IUNI-OS Rom on LG Optimus-G E975

I recently discovered this interesting Rom, IUNI-OS
Particularity; it is very similar to MIUI Rom but it is very userfriendly, very fast and very light.
en.iunios.com for Rom features
youtube.com/watch?v=BUKWLlvq8NU and youtube.com/watch?v=G5ZKWOB4T3c for test porting on specific device.
Would it be possible a porting of this beautiful Rom, for our OG?
Thanks.

Does an LG 5.0 OTA update mean faster updates to existing AOSP Roms?

Hi All,
Getting the G3 this week, brand new (Snapdragon version). Can't wait to put a custom AOSP ROM on it. Question though, before this comes out:
I heard the 5.0 OTA Update will be coming out this week and wanted to know if this means we will get much faster development to an AOSP 5.0 Lollipop rom with far less bugs because LG is putting it out theirs first.? I would imagine all the code can be extracted and used and helps elimiate bugs for XDA's amazing developers, and makes the transition a lot smoother, than if the developers were to go from 4.3 or 4.4 straight to 5.0 with no release from LG? Can anyone confirm? I'm very excited
Lastly, which is the best G3 AOSP ROM? Which are you most excited about for Lollipop?
Cheers

LG releasing source code will be a huge boost to developers working on Lollipop AOSP builds. We have some very talented developers working on this and even have some booting ROMs.
As far as "best" ROMs, that question is not allowed on XDA. Best is extremely subjective and such questions tend to cause fights.
The best rom is the one that suits your needs.
The best rom is the one I'm running that week.

[Q] Not able to customize my LG G3

Hello friends,
I am quite new to this forum also new to rooting and using custom ROMs on my G3.
I have my G3 for about 8 months now and have already upgraded to android 5.0 (OTA). I want to customize my G3 as much as I can !!!
I have installed G3 Tweaksbox but its not working, it is giving me an error message "Xposed Framework is missing". I have read on some threads that Xposed has not been finalized yet for Lollipop and it is not advisable to install it. So I cannot go through G3 Tweaksbox for customizing my G3.
The second option was to install a custom ROM. For this, I have already rooted my G3 and already backed up my data. I was about to install BlissPop V3.5 when I came across a thread saying if I install a customize ROM, I will lose some cool features of my G3...like knock code, auto-focus and other specific features of LG.
I know you guys are expert in these things and therefore wanted your help on how to be able to fully customize my G3 without losing those cool features?
Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Roy
There are two types of options in custom ROMs: Stock-based and AOSP/CM based.
Customizability:
Hands-down, AOSP wins the customizability contest. Many of the features you would need to use Xposed for in stock-based are already baked into AOSP.
Camera:
Stock-based lets you use the stock camera, the software and drivers for which are proprietary; it's might quick and accurate, even if it does not allow manual adjustments.
The default AOSP camera is okay. Many of us opt to replace it with a port from another device. The Motorola cam is nice and the M9 cam is fantastic (I'm working on a few tweaks to make it work better with the G3). Point is: the choice is yours.
Knock-on/off:
The knock-on code is an LG feature, so stock-based ROMs only.
Some AOSP ROMs allow you to knock on and knock off, but no pattern detection is incorporated with it.
QRemote:
This has been ported to AOSP and works great. The only thing that isn't there is having it in the pull-down menu.
So, it's a trade-off. There is no perfect ROM, unless you find something that is perfect for you. For me, although I sometimes miss the LG camera, the features and tweaking ability of a good AOSP ROM are a clear win. My suggestion is dump stock altogether, install a cleaned up stock-based ROM and play with it for a while. Then make a backup, wipe and install a good AOSP ROM like CyanideL or BlissPop to get a feel for that. Then stick with what you prefer. Heck, I've restored my Jasmine ROM just for the camera on one occasion!
Thanks epidenimus
Hi epidenimus thanks a lot. I think I will go with a stock based ROM that can still contain the g3 features . Another nice feature is the quick circle case all which I assume will still be there in the stock.
Can you suggest me which custom ROM to go for and where to get it?
Thanks again

I do not use quick circle cases, prefer something that can really protect the device. However, I can tell you that CyanideL (AOSP/CM) does have settings for it baked it, so it may well work in some of the AOSPs.

Would need to know your variant (e.g. LS990, VS985, D851...) in order to point you in the right direction. You may start by looking in the more specific thread for that device, if there is one. Generally, the stock-based ROMs are specific to a variant; AOSP sees more porting to different variants and devices.
Thanks again.....I am using LG D855....international and unlocked
