I am currently rooted with unrevoked 3 but I would like to do a full root and just have vanilla Froyo, pure Google phone, no CM6 or any other mods. Is this possible?
chirp....chirp.....
i would like to know too....
anyone.....anyone.......anyone......Ferris?
Im on here quite a bit, and I think the closest you'll get to vanilla is cm. Don't worry though, its a beautiful piece of art.

So is it not possible then? I thought tons of people just rooted and used vanilla Android on their phones. Everyone says CM kills battery life. And truthfully I would like to just experience vanilla Android before I go into any custom roms. So is it impossible?
I've been looking for the same thing...
Try Burnt Droid, see what you think
I thought that was a Sense rom?
You could use CM and then use "Gingerbread Launcher" from the market. That's about as close to bare bones Android as you will get.
I had an HD2 prior to my DHD and I loved how there were so many custom AOSP ROMs for the HD2 along side CM7.
I'm finding it hard to believe that there are so many iterations of Sense ROMs (which I never really liked tbh) and MIUI and then CM7 and some patched CM7s but barely any AOSP ones compiled/tweaked/moded for the DHD.
No one has had the desire to dev a stock AOSP from scratch ROM for the DHD??

Thanks but seems like support for it is no longer available nor is it updated?
Bump - hoping someone starts to make one
So checking out the roms here and touchwiz seems to be the most popular kinda like sense is on desire z but I'm wondering whats some of the more popular stable aosp/aokp roms for the S3? I really prefer the pure android experience and i'll customize it. I'm coming from a G2 with andromadus mimicry and its a nice rom anything comparable or just a more standard experience?
I'm not sure you can directly compare whatever was available under sense with what you'll find on the S3...
watch YouTube reviews of certain roms and make a decision that way or take a day to flash and test the most popular ones.
Hey I upgraded this afternoon from the desire z.
I am in the same boat as you. I am going to get CM10

Well of course there is CM10 but I was wondering about other roms on this device.
I'm browsing the many roms and man there are just too many can anyone chime in and point me in the right direction...hell there's 2 Dev sections!!! Lol
Hiya everyone,
So I just became a Galaxy Nexus owner as of yesterday, and wondering what support is out there for this phone dev side as well whats everyones fav rom? I'm quite happy with the stock AOSP 4.2.1, however I do miss some customization of roms like from CM and AOKP when I was a S2/One X owner.
Wondering if its really worth that much of a change though however to go custom? I used to build on the S2 side of things so if there seems to be a strong community on the Nexus side maybe I'll reboot the old linux box.

You couldn't just look in the development section? And there is no favorite rom for everyone. I use slim but everyone has their own preference. No offense but I'd have expected a Dev to know better.
Try Xylon, custom toggle, custom navbar, custom status bar, custom kernel, custom .... Blablabla
A powerful mix of many CM, AOKP improvements and mainly lag and bug free

I did look through the dev section, hence why I'm asking what people run. I don't feel like sitting at my computer all day downloading and flashing roms. I'm really looking for a decent rom thats up to date with AOSP at 4.2.1
No offense but I like to get involvement from people around me and get to know a new community a little better.
Do try Black Bean AOKP. I found this one a very complete and stable ROM in my starting days with Nexus.

Hmmm, why don't you try building as you used to do on your S II and customize your ROM the way you wish? Actually this is what I settled on after trying so many ROMs on my S II and I am following the same way with my GNex. I feel great and satisfied when I am running my own ROM and I may even bear some bugs in it just because it is mine
This is the only experience I can help you with because this is the only ROM I use
try taking a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802692 it has rom comparisons in terms of features in their google doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AggpxyzXBu--dEZMWnZTUWtMVXBpdHNteW5zTXpRVmc#gid=1

I may just have to do this, as I'm not looking to go down to 4.1.2, and the only 4.2.1 roms I've tried thus far actually haven't gone past the bootscreen logo oddly enough.
rasbean jelly is a wonderful aosp based rom, its always updated to be up to date with the latest aosp, asap. speaking of, it was updated minutes ago http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=maguro
I am using paranoid android and it has quit some customizations

Codename Android here. It's Jb 4.1 and is rock solid for me. Love the stock feel and plenty of customizations. I've tried paranoid android and bugless beast, but always come back to CNA.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
For me 4.2 is a total dissapointment,i'm still running 4.1.2 on CNA 3.8.0,the best i found out there. Tried all the 4.2 roms and all of them had that lockscreen delay that was driving me nuts so I decided remaining on 4.1.2 for a while. Also tried all the 4.1 roms but the best that fits my wishes is CNA with a stock look and tons of customization,along with faux' latest kernel, 23m-sr
Paranoidandroid hands down, no rom on this site is comparable when it comes to speed, smoothness, customizations and battery life all rolled into one, others may have one of those better but none have the combination and NONE have the amount of options.
What I am using currently can be found in my signature below.
If you're looking for a stock ROM that's merely been rooted and deodexed, bigxie's ROMs are solid and popular.
If you want a lean, clean, fast ROM with only the most useful modifications, it would be hard to beat Rascarlo's ROMs.
If you want ROMs with mods galore, some of the most popular ones are CyanogenMod, CodenameAndroid, and ParanoidAndroid. But there are plenty of others with dedicated followers.
I'm using Mmuzzy's AOSP 4.2.1 with kmameguy's MODs. I have the nice CM circle percent battery and other MODs, with the stability of 4.2.1 (as stable as it gets ATM) and probably 15-20 hours on battery. I don't think there are a lot of customizations on any 4.2 ROMs yet, as they're dealing mostly with stability issues. I've tried Factory, Vanir's beta, Xylon, and others... none have been super impressive to leave Mmuzzy's...

I bought the dinc after my commando was smashed by a semi last week. I have a little experience with custom roms and this is my third android based phone. I received the phone yesterday and it will be rooted by me tomorrow. But I wanted to know what roms you guys find to be best also any tweaks that are useful. This phone a three years old and I know you guys have come up with some dos and don't so rather than reinventing the wheel I figured IDE use my first post to list what I'm looking for and see what you recommend.
Stability stability stability! I won't be changing every week once I find one I like that will be it. I can't devote the time to constantly update and tweak it plus this is my daily driver so I need it to work above all else.
Speed I know these guys don't have the fastest processors so if i have to choose between load speed and looking cool or cute animations I choose speed.
Battery life I'm running a 2800 mah slim battery but I spent that money because I don't want to charge it not to waste battery life.
Media I do use my phone extensively to play music, watch, movies, photos,photos,photos, anything that optimizes these features I'm all about trying out.
Also anything I should stay away from do to extensive bugs ect please let me know. I will read all I can about these roms as you suggest them and of course report how they do for me here as well as the phandriod.com site. Thanks in advance for all the knowledge I'm about to get hit with ill try not to ask too many stupid questions
Sense roms or aosp gingerbread like cm 7.2 are the most stable.

Thanks tiny! There are soooo many of them which is good but are there any standouts? What are the major differences between the GB and the aosp? i know on my og evo the aosp roms seemed to save batt but that all i know and i don't really know that. I do like the miui icons tbh but I think I can use those with whatever rom but I like the minimalist if nature of the miui setup.
I have rooted three phones and installed custom roms on them but am really brand new to the android or smart phone game only been messing with droids for 3 months now. Idk just looking for info are there any seance or Gb roms you think I should stay away from.?

This is pretty much the only evo. What was good on that device is good here. Rom names are different. If you want a pure stock sense rom then I recommend cmlusco's rom. CM 7.2 is the best aosp gingerbread rom IMO.
