Reliable Stock Coustom Rom - Nextbit Robin

I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs so if I make a mistake please correct me. As we all know, the support for the Nextbit Robin is down. I'm hoping to get a stock custom ROM that has stock Android and has the new Google Pixel vibe, thank you for the comments.

If you just want the 'Google Pixel vibe' just install the Rootless Pixel2 Launcher
If you are looking for basic custom ROM - PA, Omni, LOS are the most stable, actively developed and the most basic ROMs.
If you are looking for feature filled custom ROM - RR, Carbon, Xenon are the ROMs people like. These too are quite stable and actively developed.
I like PA and you can find my view on the ROM in that thread.

If you want a stock theme I would go with carbon rom it's pixel home touch animation is much better than any other ROMs, and still offers some customization. And yes use the pixel 2 rootless launcher it's amazing and you can download the live Google wallpapers too here is my setup on carbon

What's makes Carbon's implementation of the Pixel home button animation better than any other roms? I'm currently using XenonHD and as far as I can tell it looks exactly the game as Carbon's.
I have to agree with you on the Pixel 2 Launcher though, I love it, also paired with the new live wallpapers.

Well xenon hd has a good pixel animation but the other lineage ROMs do not, I don't recommend xenon because in terms of brute performance it score 400 lower in mutli in geekbench and 6000 lower in antutu.

UI performance is excellent on Xenon, benchmarks don't reflect true performance as well.

While I do agree with you, I have experienced more fluid performance on carbon, to achieve the same effect on xenon I have to turn the profile to performance which drains my battery more than it should

[Q] The Best ROM experience ? share pls.

Ok., so Many New ROM's... which make's newbies get confused which is the best.
Best in term's of:
1.stability
2.design
3.compatibility
4.usability
5.user experience
6.support for new updates
7.user friendly
8.no bug's
9.Global mode
10.Battery life.
guy's pls. share your thoughts.... so I/YOU can decide. which is which
Thanks.
If you want sense try This one. It is by far my favorite sense rom as of right now. If you don't want sense OMFGB is the most stable, and fast non-sense rom I have used.
Ok, I'll bite
Best in term's of:
1.stability - Currently running Miui 1.8.19 Very stable. Unity also very stable for me.
2.design - Depends on if you want a Sense based rom or AOSP Rom... Unity for Sense was great. I love Miui for the customization's.
3.compatibility - So far I have been able to use any of the usual apps that I would run with the stock non rooted rom.
4.usability - Miui has been a very usable daily driver for me. MMS works, calls have no issues. Wifi works... Don't use BT so can't say on that.
5.user experience - very good
6.support for new updates - Haven't need to use this yet. But from what I have seen, the support on most of the roms we have available is good.
7.user friendly - I would say that the Sense based roms may be more user friendly to someone that has been using Sense based roms. Miui is pretty simple to get the hang of as well as the other AOSP (Cyanogen and others).
8.no bug's - only bug I have found in Miui, is the soft touch keys don't rotate when going to landscape mode. No biggie as I didn't expect them to.
9.Global mode - Haven't used this yet.
10.Battery life - Battery life has been great with both Unity and Miui. This could be due to the fact of the custom Kernals and being UV'd. Both have easily lasted all day under heavy use. I plug into the charger at night before going to bed, and generally have 40% battery left.
Hope this may help someone out
thanks ...I need more ideas so i can compare ,. keep it coming
I'm running CM7 Nightlies #48
1.stability - extremely stable so far. The only FC I get is when I first boot up ADW EX FC's, but I think it's because I'm impatient
2.design - I love the look of vanilla android. If you don't, or think it's boring, you won't like it. There are boat load of themes, though. And the great thing is all CM7 themes are compatible, regardless of which phone
3.compatibility - I haven't ran into any apps that I can't run
4.usability - very usable. Don't really know how to answer this
5.user experience - excellent, with all the customizable options
6.support for new updates - nightlies, lol
7.user friendly - I would say it is user friendly for anyone who is on XDA. Maybe not your average user, though
8.no bug's - none that I've ran into. Some complain about low volume in calls, but I don't experience that
9.Global mode - haven't tested
10.Battery life - excellent. I can easily get through a day
Edit: I should add that I haven't had a stock rom in god knows how long. So I am very used to little quirks here and there and don't even notice them anymore. Others may

As for omfgb the phone was broken when I tried it. Omgb was pretty much flawless. As of now I'm running the gingersense rooted stock with great results.

I ran OMFGB for a while, it performed well. I really like it because it is slimmed down AOSP but still has some nice features. Didn't seem to have much bugs, but nightlies can always produce bugs for people. OMGB 1.2 is the stable version of it.
Running Miui now because I wanted something different. Its performing well but it doesnt seem as quick OCd at 1.3 as OMFGB was OCd at 1.3 for me. The theme manager and customization in Miui though are awesome. Battery seems good so far.
Grabbed Skyraider Zeus today.....similar to mik Rom mix.....same great stable performance....with a few more features...at least so far lol

Only bug I have ran into is that it wont install certain skins. Not really a big deal but could be a breaker for some people. I tried honeybread, glasssense, and one other cant remember and none of them worked. Carbon fiber one does though.
I VERY highly suggest ANY ROM posted by "newtoroot" he has four great and different ROMs. They each have a few bugs, it just depends on your taste as to if the things bother you. Some people can use it as a daily others can't.
ihftp69, release a preview ROM of his SkyRaider Zeus, and is, afaik completely bug free 2.1 Sense ROM experience with sense 3.0 components.
MIUI has been my daily driver for about 2 weeks now. Everything works (MMS, BT, Wifi, etc) and the themes are awesome. Very consistent with updates and has a great dev team. Haven't seen any FCs from the system apps. Also, battery life is great.

Have to echo this remark. Going on a week with MIUI and have had no issues outside of it resetting yesterday while playing around with the music player it came with. Battery is on par with stock, but having a pretty UI means I play with the phone a lot more .

I really like the OMFGB roms, very stable, everything works and its fast. I also like the MIUI rom. I really love that fact that I can use the torch from the home lock screen by pressing the home key! MIUI also has a great dev community as well. It's really a personal preference, but as far as performance, I like those two the best.
Here is another vote for MIUI. Great stable ROM.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
If you want some sense 3.0 features, the SkyRaider Zeus beat them all in stability and functionality, haven't found any bugs yet. Virtuous Unity came in close 2nd if you can live with the compass being backward, it lag a bit during first startup, overall it doesn't feel as smooth as Zeus even at 1.3Ghz. Gingerbang 1.5 is my number 1 choice if I want something close to stock, very snappy even at stock speed and it gave me the best battery life even after i overclocked to 1.2Ghz.
I switch between GingerSense and MIUI with great results from both. Exchange nuances keep me coming back to Sense-based ROMs, but MIUI in terms of customization taunts me constantly.
Stability has been great on both as well as compatibility.

what is the best rom for you?

hello everyone..im just a new gnex user here..i want to ask whats the best rom for you guys?
i try to keep my nexus as stock as possible…. i didn't even unlock the bootloader, i love pure google, although i experienced some bugs, for example my whole gallery was deleted from one day to another… all the pictures lost… this was under 4.1.2

im newbie in here..thats why im asking you guys..
Welcome to the forums as well!
Right now I'm trying out AOKP (Build 5) after coming off of CM 10 (M2). Both AOKP and CM10 are pretty rock solid to me - I've never had any issues with either of them. CM10 have higher benchmark scores than AOKP did, but AOKP (to me) has a much better battery life and allows for far more customization (colors, lock screen, menu, toggles, etc). But even though AOKP doesn't score as high, I don't see any "real" performance hit... if any. I've never really trusted benchmarks on how well my phone will perform... I just like having high numbers to show off ;D
Overall, AOKP is doing wonders for me! Running that along side Air Kernel (with my beloved SmartAssV2 governor).
Here's my advice to you:
- Download a ROM you think you'll like; CM10 for example.
- Go into your custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash it.
- Get it setup the way you want to (ie: Add your apps, settings, kernel, etc)
- Make a Nandroid backup (include boot.img to keep your kernel)
- Wipe everything afterwards and flash another ROM! (like AOKP, Codename, etc)
Just keep doing that until you think you know what ROM you wanna use. Then you can just restore that backup you made and you good to go! ^_^

Rasbeanjelly + trinity kernel...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
-Codename android is close to stock with some of the goodies from AOKP and CM10
-AOKP
-Paranoid android if you like messing around with the DPI
Those were my top 3 roms. Feel free to browse and choose a rom in the dev section.
Good luck!
I like MIUI. I recommend downloading different ROMs and trying them out and seeing which one you like. Some are similar to stock but enhanced functionality others are like HTC Sense or TouchWiz with a very different look and feel.
Try a few out.
I personally like the stock experience. Being with Verizon (Toro), we don't get the latest updates 'til probably around 6 months after. In this case, I use BuglessBeast to get the latest with stock experience. Hope that helps!
Read through some ROM posts before flashing. Bugs can pop up in the best of them. I personally like Codename. Just depends on how much customization you want. I agree with the other posts about trying more than one. After all that's half the fun.
My personal favorite is Bamf + diet kernel. There is no bugs what so ever and it is very stock with the customization features that you want.
Xenon HD +Trinity kernel ftw.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I'm running XenonHD form Oct24th. I have tried others and found this ROM working well for me. I did run the XenonHD from 9/29 prior to that. Apparently when I installed a version after 9/29, that one was not behaving well. So I went back to 9/29 until today.
Just finished the install a couple hours ago.
I find the battery life of the XenonHD rom to be very good (for what I do with the phone).
Surely there are many other great ROM's out there and the best ay to find YOUR Rom is to try a few.
Good luck and have fun with your GNex.

[Q] Looking for that one ROM for my HTC One X

So I am new to the XDA forum, I am not new to Android. Now however I am in a bit of a spot. Looking for that one ROM which actually works properly without bugs or stability issues. This has proven to be a rather big challenge.
Almost every single ROM I have looked up, either on this forum or other forums, has issues. Most of them are seen as minor, but for my part, the lack of WiFi or USB tethering is not acceptable. Nor are those small bugs which makes apps crash from time to time.
So I am looking for a ROM with offers me the pure Android experience, so no Sense UI, with a few custom tweaks like battery indicator removal and the like. The ROM should be OTA compatible and based on Android 4.2.2.
I have looked all the big ROM's and many of the smaller ones. And like I write earlier, they all seem to have issues that makes renders them a defect product in my eyes. It is my no means easy to create a custom ROM, and all the hard work that developers put in to it, that I will praise :good:
But since I am looking for a complete product that take run my HOX until a new Android phone worth having comes out, stability issues, app craches, sluggishness and so on, are not acceptable.
It is a tall order I realise, but I figures that there is nothing lost by posting this thread. So are there anyone out there who knows an custom ROM?
AOKP and CM both have WiFi tethering and USB tethering working fine. I've been using CM since its alpha days, never had something not working that bothered me (meaning that i don't use MHL or FM radio, both of which don't work iirc. Any AOSP-based rom won't have them working.)

I have downloaded the CM 10.1 M3 release, thought about installing it, it also comes with OTA updates, for some people at least, by the time the stable release version comes out, it should work for all users.
But I could not find any information regarding the possibilities of tweaking the notification bar. Do you have the option of modifying or removing the battery indicator?

I have a beautiful battery widget, which looks much much better then any other, still hoping that the developer will add moving it to the right side for root users. So I want the default one hidden. So another question would be, if you hide it, does it leave an empty space, or do the other right-side indicators re-align to fill that empty space, so to avoid blank space?
They fill the blank space.

I have already looked at Team Venom Viper X ROM. But it comes with Sense UI, and I have no use for it, not anymore. Since Android 4.0 and Holo UI, there is no need for a UI overlay, and if one really wants that, there are plenty of Launchers in Play Store.
And there are also issues with WiFi tethering.

Honestly, you can't go past Slim Bean when it comes to stability and features. It has pretty much as many features as AOKP, but it also has features from CM and some of its own unique features too. If you use Apex launcher with Slim, it's easily one of the fastest and smoothest ROMs around.
I've been using Slim Bean for a week now and i hardly EVER keep a ROM for more than 3 days because i always find small issues. With Slim Bean, performance is great, battery life is phenomenal (i got 60 hours up time with close to 4 hours of screen on time, i can attach screenies if you want), there are no outstanding bugs and it just works like it should.
With CM10.1, i always run into small issues here and there and battery life is not so great. When it comes to Ice Cold Jelly, battery life wasn't so good for me and performance was all over the place and it was rather unstable when i tried it a few versions ago.
So, Slim Bean is the absolute winner for me when it comes to ROMs without Sense. I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you try it out. Krarvind only produces very high quality ROMs.
Got your ROM?

From what I can tell, Slim Bean is running some sort of custom launcher, is that correct? Because like I wrote, I have no interest in that nor any other launcher, I just want want the stock Android Holo UI and a few additional features.
Does Slim Bean support OTA?

Sounds like CM is the way to go. SlimBean is tempting, but it uses a form of launcher other the stock one, and that holds no interest for me.

AOSP vs Stock-Based Firmware - Performance Issues

I've flashed Dirty unicorns, Octo-rom as AOSP ROMs as well as Stock-Based PureNexus.
I've found that on either AOSP ROM there is a distinct stutter when scrolling and lag in some games with 2d sprites. I cannot figure out how to get rid of this but was wondering if anyone else experienced it? The lag is slight on websites with text and pictures, and more noticeable in certain games.
It does not happen on stock firmware or PureNexus. And I've replaced kernels and changed settings in them, messed with scrolling cache etc. It appears in the AOSP ROMs. It's the strangest thing.
I have flashed clean each of these firmwares probably 3 times (literally three times each and tested) with the same stutter results on AOSP ones.
I am now on PN as it doesn't lag but prefer the features of DU.
Anyone else notice this?

I am not using the kernel that comes with any of these roms, and don't think it is related to it. His rom seems to be the only one that is actually smooth like stock. I haven't tried WETA but since it was based on stock I would imagine it's the same. Interesting that nobody else using DU is complaining about this. The stutter in scrolling is sickening, though.

I can try to get a video of this for you this weekend. OctoROM is releasing a new build, which hopefully will be fixed but you never know. Since I'll be reflashing, I'll test out the latest DU and snag a recording of it if still present.
I am assuming the video will pick this up, because I don't have the option to film it physically, only screen record. :good:

In my opinion pure is much faster than stock. App opening, change menus faster.
Pure is one of the rare AOSP roms that is optimized. Many rom devs just take pure aosp and just add features.
But I am now on a different rom because this is just optimized to its fullest
But I was and always will be a speed junkie

Yep, you are the man

Truth is not every rom and every kernel is good for all.
It's just a subjective opinion.
It totally depends on what apps you have installed and use and how you use your phone.
So different. Same with benchmarks or battery life.

Sultans on 1+3 is nice, but if you remove the underclock. There is a lot of stutter with the underclock.
I was pleasantly surprised by Paranoid Android, very very smooth rom. Didn't keep that long though because 'custom camera hal'
Now I have the rom that is equally smooth to paranoid Android, stock oos (beta 29)
I love oos, very very smooth and amazing speed and smoothness.

But oos is buggy and latest oreo betas have network issues also battery is much better on paranoid than oos for oos sucks the last oos i liked was 3.2.8 after that most of the versions are buggy
I've used most of the custom roms out their but I didn't find a complete package like what OOS offers. Customs roms lack one or the other stuff what a complete package like OOS offers.
The last OOS nougat beta is very stable. Oreo is still kinda early for daily use.

But oos betas have the headset mic bug. Quite annoying, if you ask me. That's why I'm stuck on Nitrogen 8.1
You will never get a true answer to this. As each person will give their personal fav rom. Then you will hear the bad parts about other roms.
Each rom runs differently depending on the device, person, location and how it is used. So the only way you will get a good answer is to try some yourself.
