[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackMamba08:
Have a rooted galaxy nexus running nova launcher.

I think its time for me to pick a ROM. Which ROM delivers the closest stock experience but still being highly customizable?

By closest stock experience I mean smooth UI and stable OS. I read aokp is good but are there different versions, where do I find them etc etc.

I've tried to do as much reading as possible but when I go into the development section of the forum I just see a bunch of numbers and words that don't make sense to me lol

Which rom is the best in terms of what I want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
I use Codename Android, but that's just my preference. I'm using Franco's kernel. I'm also just waiting for milestone four of aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zentyko:
You probably want to go with the normal AOKP (I find the difference to the other ROMs to be minimal, matter of taste I suppose. I stick with AOKP since it's the first one I used, runs great and gets a lof of support), the differnece to the other AOKPs is minimal, mostly optics.

As for which build, if you want to be 100 certain that it's run smooth and without any problems, go Milestone 3.

I would go Build 24 though since it is stable and offers more functions. There is a chance you migth run into a problem or two but nothing big (I'm on 24 as well)

I reccomend the Codename Android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aergern:
If you want as close to stock as possible then give this a shot. It's the v4.0.4 that leaked a few weeks ago. Both the wife and I have been using it since then. It's stable, battery life is decent and it's not cluttered with crap.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackMamba08:
Wow guys, thanks so much for the help.

I decided to go with aokp b24. I have a few questions.

-I am using aokp b24 with nova launcher. I know b25 is coming out soon, and I also like the black exodus theme by nitro as well. I've done HEAVY customization with nova launcher and my widgets such as simple text and minimalistic text that I don't think I;d have the patience through sitting again. So my question is do I have to do a full wipe/factory reset if I upgrade roms?

-I've seen peoples lock screens that have quick apps instead of the stock unlock an camera, they have phone + sms etc etc. With this rom I can select 2 apps, I set them as sms and phone but only the sms one shows up. Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
1.) Apparently roman said you don't need to do a wipe going from 24 to 25, but there is a chance of bugs/things not working properly if you don't wipe. You can save your preferences under Nova Settings --> Backup. And then you can restore once you redownload Nova. Also, you can save your minimalistic text settings under "Backup" as well. That way you can just restore your settings with a simple click. (The restore files will be saved to your SD card, which don't get wiped if you erase data).

2.) Are you sure you selected the "quad" lock screen setting under "Lock screen style"? If so, try to mess around with the "octo" setting and the custom app locations (i.e. 1, 2, etc.).

Also, this thread should be under Q&A. =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackMamba08:
Thanks so much for your reply. A mod can move this thread if it is in the wrong spot, sorry didn't know better.

I just installed aokp b25 and loving it.

Does anybody know any way to make your notification/status bar transparent?

If someone can be kind enough to explain:

What is the reason for flashing the radio hardware?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Well, the radio allows your phone to access and relay signal from carrier towers. From what I have learned, people install different radios in an attempt to boost signal reception and data connectivity in their respective area which in turn impacts battery life. No one radio is best for everyone because various contributing factors can impact your and my cellular reception. These factors include proximity to towers, environmental obstacles (mountains, forest areas), the makeup of the building your are in, number of users connecting to those same towers, etc. The less factors in your surroundings then the less time your phone's radio spends searching for a strong signal. The stronger your connection, the better your battery life should be. For most roms your accurate signal strength is displayed in:

Settings/About Phone/Network/Signal Strength

Edit: Also, the radios that users install is software although it affects the hardware radio of the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelbites:
Thank you so much. I was confused about it till now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
My pleasure, feel free to ask away if you have any other questions/concerns.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyz400:
Can you flash a new radio without being rooted?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Yes but you can only reflash the current or a newer radio. Without s-off you cant downgrade to an older one. However this can only be done with an official signed ruu, which will also update the whole phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeseman04:
Does HTC document what they are changing in the radio releases?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
The most documented info I've ever seen in relation to updated radios is when you read the pdf outlines on Verizonwireless.com for OS updates for Froyo and GB.
[Motorola Photon 4G] thomasmatt25:
FYI, the new Titanium Backup update noe allows to reboot the phone or reboot into recovery. Just a little extra added bonus for those of you who love this great app as much as I do! Nice to be able to boot into recovery right from TB.

From Engadget: "Jelly Bean will be rolling out to Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Xoom devices in mid July, along with the open source code. Developers though, can start playing with the SDK today."

And we haven't got the official ICS :eek:

BTW Jellybean is 4.1, not 5.0
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
I will be enjoying JB on my Xoom, yes! :D

Oh Great, so yet another Android OS upgrade that will be full of bugs, and still be 2nd rate compared to iOS. Google really needs to just give up on Android and let someone else just take over, the devs on this site could probably create a better system anyway. Google stick to the web and putting ads everywhere to make it lag too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eyriiii:
Your nickname suits you :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
What's wrong with that post...Hmm, let me count the reasons.

1. State some bugs that you have found in an Android build by Google, not some skinned up crap from a manufacturer.

2. No, however skilled the developers are, they could not take over the creation of Android. Android is made by hundreds of very smart people worldwide.

3. I've never had any lag on Google's websites. I actually think that the interface is very clean, but I browse ad free.

4 If you think Google/Android sucks why did you buy the phone, why not stick with the iDumbs?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Speaking of Jelly Bean.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Noob03:
Leviathan26,

Since I'm such a noob, please explain this to me....If the people responsible for Android were so smart, then how come it STILL hasn't put out a product from any manufacturer that actually uses the battery properly. I'm not talking about the Maxx which has that huge battery on it, which is the only reason it gets so much life. I'm talking about the actual system that seems like it doesn't use the resources properly. I've seen your post on ALL those tips to save battery life, that is ridiculous to say the least, if they were really that smart BY NOW they could have come out with a product that actually used the system resources properly. Not something where you have to turn off half of a phone's features to actually get some time.

Speaking of the iPhone, I would never own one. It's an Apple product, and as far as I'm concerned I have no use for their products at all. But that doesn't mean that iOS is worse than Android, because at least Apple designed a system that uses what it has in a reasonable manner, and you don't have to take away features from a phone to get reasonable battery life.

Quick Edit: I will agree the Google site itself really don't lag, hell I even use a variation of Chrome as my browser, but they are responsible for a lot of the ads that do make A LOT of other sites lag terribly even on a Chromium based browser.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] goinovr:
All of the Galaxy Nexuses...Nexi...Nexisis...they gave away at I/O today also have JB on them. So Goog either is pushing it out to those select IMEI's or they are pushing it to all of them. Might have to break mine out from my junk drawer and see.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spawns:
To much wine in this thread xD:angel:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] goinovr:
Would it be Google that is responsible for making sites slow with ads or is it the developer of the site? It's kind of like saying Glock is responsible for increases in gun crime.

I will have jelly bean soon!!!! Tryin to pre order the new nexus7 tablet!!!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
I never called you a noob, I just made it clear I disagreed with your post.

Google itself makes great phones, the Galaxy Nexus get 4 hours of screen time and about 14 hours of up time. More up time if it gets less screen time.

It's almost impossible to make Android be like iOS in resource management, iOS was made to run on 4 phones and 4 phones only. Just by scrolling the list of sections on this forum, you can see there are hundreds of Android phones. It can't be like iOS because:

Google makes the software for Nexus device and optimizes it, just like iOS. Then Google releases the source code for the latest operating system exactly as it is, it's up to the manufacturers to port it their respective devices. Because manufacturers only port it and do minor optimization, it can't and won't be like iOS in terms of resource management. besides, the only reason iOS devices are able to stay fast with so many processes going is because when you leave an app, it's immediately written to disc, no processor usage, or RAM usage.Google and Apple spend months on optimizing and clearing out bottlenecks in the software.

If you wanted an Android phone that wasn't buggy, was fast, and was optimized, why didn't you by a GNex?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] goinovr:
$200 is a great price. The specs could be a bit higher but then the price would be as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
Having watched the keynote I can assure you it will be released for phones, as well. The Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S are getting the update mid-July, according to Google I/O today.

Have my Nexus 7 on order :laugh: I'm going to use it alongside my iPad 3 for awhile and see which I find myself gravitating toward. I'm guessing I'll stick with the iPad for a tablet, but might either keep the Nexus 7 for an "at-work" thing so I don't have to carry my iPad back and forth every day or I might give it to my dad. He's using a hacked Nook Color tablet right now on 2.3.6...so this thing would blow his mind.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Phones and tablets are on the same upgrade path now. Google is working to reduce fragmentation and having separate tab and phone OS's was a big no-no. For the foreseeable future, all releases will be for both.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
Actually only the Nexus 7 they gave away had JB on it. The Galaxy Nexuses came with 4.0.4 ICS and the Nexus Q has a proprietary OS. The Galaxy Nex and Nexus S will be getting the updates in mid-july to mid-August...as announced at the keynote.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ssinisterss:
since the kernel will be the same we can always have roms with full hw codecs and features, not like gb to ics. so we should be covered.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DanielMod:
Exactly as my thought,is it correct?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
I was incorrect here ^ At the keynote they mentioned that they were giving out Galaxy Nexuses but they would get the update in Mid-July to Mid-August. Engadget says in their Jelly Bean review that the test device they received at I/O came pre-loaded with Jelly Bean 4.1. Sorry about that everyone!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pulsarvp:
Right now the Razr is the flagship device of Motorola. If they skip Jelly Bean, that will be low blow to their customers. That and the locked bootloader are enough to turn away most of advanced users away forever.

Hey everyone .. I was just thinking back to my Blackberry days (ew) and how much I liked being able to hold down the Volume Down button to initiate Silent/Vib mode. Is there any way to do this? Ideally I would like to be able to do that from the lockscreen too. Any ideas? I only bring it up because I think other people would like this feature too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
Juggernaut ROM has a lockscreen where you can slide the other side for vibration. Also the notification toggles has this also. It really isn't needed outside of that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
If you hold vol down it does go to silent and vibrate..? Not from the lock screen but it does it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thecolorifix:
Guess I'm just in a testy mood today but why do people say things "aren't needed"? Android phones aren't "needed", but we want them, and we want them to function in a certain way, that's why we're on XDA after all right? Kudos for giving the alternative methods but I, like the OP, would much rather be able to use the physical buttons (while in the lock screen especially so I could silence the phone without even looking at it) to turn the phone to vibrate. That way, I can use my lock screen and toggle space that WOULD'VE been taken up by volume controls, to launch other things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
It really isn't needed if you think about it. There are 3 current methods in which you can silence your phone, I think we should focus our want into something much more productive and innovative since if we continue down this path, it's going to contribute to a cycle of redundancy.

I agree that it's the "wants" that makes this place great, but it's not like we're crippled to have only one way to silence our phones after all. One man's inconvenience is another one's convenience. I don't want certain features since it may break other features that I really liked which may result in some sort of compromise. We have different wants and objectives with our own phones, which is great, but don't try to confuse what you're trying to get out of your phone with what I am trying to get out with mine.
