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.

All right, okay. Thanks a lot for your answers, you've helped a lot and I will try different the two ROM's when I get my Galaxy Nexus later today. I am liking Paranoid Android so far but I can see its got quite a few versions, is the latest one 3.97 stable? Sorry for all the questions, I really appreciate you taking time to answer them.

Lol I know that, I was asking if the latest version 3.97 was stable or not. Got my Galaxy Nexus today and its on stock 4.2.2, so going to try a few ROM's later on to get it to 4.3 just wanted to know about the stability of Paranoid Android.

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!
Hello everyone,
first post since I got a Note 2... and I really like this phone... people seem to have a laugh at me since it is on a larger side, but then I have my own laughs when i see them trying to properly view web pages etc...
I have decided to go the custom Rom way, however, I would like some help.
I would like to have a decent ROM which gives good battery life and decent performance....my usage is pretty normal, email, Facebook, browsing, etc, not much games... so the ROM does not need to be performance oriented.
Any tips please on where to start... Tried searching here, but got a bit mixed up...
I like the stock looking TW Roms and would like Snote and the basic stuff such as calendar etc..
also which kernel would be suggested with this ROM.
Any help will be appreciated I know that I will have to try some ROMS to see which is best, however any help will save me a lot of flashing ROMS, kernels etc..... I know that usage is dependant on user patters etc, but some direction will be appreciated.
Many thanks to all...

You must have misunderstood me...
I want opinions on a custom rom (with all the benefits of a custom rom) that gives good battery life... not one which improves battery life...
been flashing many roms so far and all of them are good and yea battery life depends on your usage, before i use aosp rom specially slimbean, the only reason i use aosp because it doesn't have any lag for me, not for games but generaly everything. even i use stock and rooted samsung rom i got lag wheb browsing even just the settings when sliding it down and even the gallery and messaging, it's just a slight lag. but after trying omega v18 rom it doesn't have and im surprise coz i dont have to use aosp rom with some minor bug and now im happy using samsung custom rom with no lag and enjoying all stock features. so battery is not a problem really on our note 2 just pick whatever that gives better performance. but whatever it's your personal taste on what rom do you want.

cheers... will also try the ROM you mentioned... and thanks... it has to be a TW Rom ideally as i like the interface.... plus some of the samsung apps I use, so will to have those....
its normal to be concerned about battery life
amongst stock sammy roms the battery performance is also going downhill unfortunately, MG1 being the worst,
taking cue from tamirda i went for mf2 and the best one i feel was the chinese release, but it has chinese bloat and no play store,
its malaysian version is defintely one for keeps
me6 is also better than mg1
i like to root with cf auto -root and use xposed framework for customisation so i can stay on an odexed rom.....
tamirdas mf2 custom rom v13 will give a good combination of customisations, rooted deodexed experiences and battery life.
i wish someone would make a rom on the chinese mf2
i also love aosp and its looks and features but battery wise -- well im still testing with various kernel/rom combinations on 4.3
If you have a 7105. Then I'd recommend Jedi x17 with the newest saber kernel. Battery for me is better than stock. It also comes with nice eye candy and a lot of built in goodies.

Is anybody working on a custom ROM for the 510 yet? Kind of not necessary given there's no bloat and xposed works well. That being said, part of the reason I wanted to root my tablet is to play with different Roms/kernels.
I will say that mine is lightening fast, was easy to root using Linux, and has NO problems with the screen.
Any Update?

Why are you wanting a custom ROM? I ask because these days you can do many of the same things that were afforded by custom ROMs on the stock ROM using Xposed Framework modules, in particular GravityBox. There are very few options that I've seen in CM, AOKP, etc., that you can't do with those ROMs installed, and you get the benefits of the stock ROM, particularly with GPE.
Anyone who has used both a GPE and a rooted V500 running any AOSP ROM: is there any difference is responsiveness and speed at opening web pages?

Yeah, that's been annoying. Think I have it fixed on latest kernel. At least my test run is working. It used to be forever waiting. Will upload sleekai5.1 soon. I'll check to see if XDA has their uploads fixed yet. Don't really like using github for that.

Because it sounds like fun. I later began tweaking the kernel instead, and adding other things like xposed. This thread is old. I wrote this when I first got the device and was looking for something different to work on. Because I wanted a clean device from which to work.
Other GPE devices can run custom Roms like their non gpe counterparts. This is the only device I'm aware of that actually has issues just loading any ROM you like. It's a shame.

Now I can tell you. The V510 definately opens apps and web pages faster than a V500 (running CM11). Thanks for convincing me to buy one. Selling my V500.

Sure, let me know what you need!
So I'm getting a Pixel this week, and I don't feel like trying a bunch of different Rom's, but I can't pick one or decided if I want to go stock.
What Rom are you using? What is great about it? What Problems have you faced? Why did you choose it? (Also, What Kernel are you using? Stock/Custom?)
A few notes:
I will 100% be rooting/TWRP, so that's no concern, just not sure if I want to go stock or custom (and if custom, which Rom). Right now I'm leaning towards Pure Nexus, as the last OTA Update broke my phone. (My fault, I wanted to see what would happen if I accepted OTA update while rooted/twrp ), but I know with Custom Roms, that won't be an issue!
[UPDATE] I use AppRadio Unchained ReLoaded daily which means BT + HotSpot + Chromcast/ScreenCast + Music and Phone over BT + Tasker etc, so anybody who uses AppRadio Unchained, or the aformentioned things a lot, with stability, I would love to know what Rom you are on. I'm looking for stable AppRadio which has been hard to find with so many moving parts in the equation.
I can't tell you which rom is best, you'll receive lots of differing opinions on the same thing. Only way is to try yourself and find the one that fits you best as that's what these forums are about.
For the time you took to type that, you could at least share your choice and why, I didn't ask "what's best" I asked what did you choose and why did you choose it.

I run Pure Nexus as Beans does great work as I also ran his PN rom on my Nexus 6 and he is good at what he does. I also run the kernel Elemental x both are great together and super fast and buttery smooth. That is the only custom rom I have ever ran on my pixel xl as I never wanted to give up how great it runs to try anything else lol.
That's exactly what I'm leaning towards, hoping I don't have a reason to try anything else
Velocity with build in MVK kernel. Fast stable and the best battery usage for me.
Also a lot features I need to have and a lot I don't use
Did try most of the custom out there, but I am using velocity for about 5 years now starting with Nexus 4, so I always flash back to velocity.

I been using pure Nexus, I like it a lot. Just tried RR that one is good to. U just have to try one.
Nah I am using stock ROM, have basically no interest in trying out them custom ROMs, sometimes I do seek for a few features, but I pass. Stock ROM is stable as ****, smooth as **** too, just flash Franco and be done with it.
Running PureNexus here with ELX kernel and am enjoying it
I'm running invisibleks lineageos builds. The best for me!?
I was on same boat just got my pixel xl ROMs had BT problems decided to read and got pure nexus and elementalx and no BT issues at all fast and great battery with wakelocks disabled. Take my word for it
If you want aptX bluetooth capability then you must use a Lineage OS based ROM (formerly CyanogenMOD). I use Resurrection Remix because it's got the most customization options that I like to use.
If you want systemless root or rootless system (whatever it is) then that's not something I know much about but I think it's default in upcoming Lineage OS based ROM's too. Or already is. Whatever. If it sounds vaguely familiar and something you want then ask someone else. lol
If you want pure Android then go with an AOSP based ROM.
If you want Pixel stuff then stay with stock ROM.
Yeah, I know.
You would think a Pixel ROM is pure Android huh.
It is, kind of/mostly.

Pure nexus didn't has the Bluetooth problem because he is not on the latest update.
It's a Google problem on first connection. After the first fc all is fine.
Pure Nexus and Elemental from the get go. No issues. Both are great with no issues so far. Highly recommend.
PureNexus for me. Tried most Roms out there, but keep coming back to it. Buttery smooth, reliable, great battery and great support as a bonus.
Resurrection Remix for me.
Dirty Unicorns have some RC builds up at devs-base

I decided now that there are several choices, I'm going to flash a custom kernel. I'm going to wait until the Dec. patch is release, so I don't have to mess with it twice (WAY too busy). But, on my Pixel 2xl, I used the Flash kernel always. I didn't try anything else. So, all the kernels for the 3xl, I don't know anything about.
So, what is your go-to and why?
No one?
try them out yourself?
Stock because I don't feel like doing all the flashing and stuff that I used to.

What is good for one person and their usage is not going to be the same for the next person. It's best just to read the features and description of each kernel and decide for yourself.
Stock for now. Have not yet decided to go for it. Really itching tho.
Speed is the most important part for me. Proton kernel is one of I'd try.

Hearing why others chose a kernel, and what it does for him or her can be helpful to those of us not so familiar with some things. And to be honest, I don't understand why no one wants to be helpful at all with this. The pixel 2xl forum has this exact type of thread, and it has a LOT of pages. Apparently no one with a 3 wants to chime in and help those of us not so familiar with all what all these custom kernels can do, outside of what the description says. Sorry, but, just being honest. I went ahead and flashed Kirisakura, so far, it seems a tad faster. And I was able to overclock the CPU. Other than that, I don't know what can be done with it, let alone any of the others.
My $0.02
I have been using ElementalX. I chose to use it because I've used it on other devices before in the past and I know that it can be trusted to be totally stable with no wonkiness. If ever something should come up I am also confidant that Flar would address.
My experience so far has been solid. Reliable, no hiccups or anything, a few extra features and I have gotten slightly improved battery life over stock. I'm going to try the Kirisakura next and see if that gives me even more battery for my usage.

Kirisakura is updated very often and has been my DD. I tried most others but the mix of performance, battery and security with Kirisakura convinced me to stop looking. But, I am pretty basic in my usage so other kernels may suit you better. Good luck!
Also, I am getting 7-8 hrs SOT with Kirisakura. Been very happy!

I'm also on the Kirisakura kernel. He has already present everything, so just flash and go. It's updated regularly and the support is excellent.

I don't need much, don't even need kernel, Im just tempted as everyone else is doing it. My main concern is speed nothing else. By not trying them out I feel like there is something good and I'm missing out on it.
What do I need to do?
Unlock boot loader
Twrp and then flash the kernel right?
Been years since I've done it
I am currently using Kirisakura Bluecross, honestly I really don't see a difference between stock and this one. I don't think my battery is lasting longer and, yes, it seems that you can do a lot with cpu clocking and such, but otherwise, tbh I don't see a difference in my device. I am tempted to try elemental x as I purchased the elemental x kernal manager and it is always bothering me to upgrade my kernal to their most up-to-date. Not sure yet.
But full disclosure: afraid to screw with CPU settings and such as I don't want to overheat or kill my phone, so I probably am not doing as much as I could with the new kernal...

You know what my OCD thing is and has been on all my Samsung phones , with is one of the reasons I've moved to pixel in hope it be gone but it's not?
Clicking on: settings , sms, phone apps. Have then load slowly. I try to tell myself it's normal but it's still pissing me off.
Thus another reason to go back on playing with kernels in hopes they could help.
Clicking on those apps I mentioned and often the window will pop up but the info will apprear later. Like there is a delay. Again my OCD thing.
