I can't answer that, I bought mine with 4.0.1, and it was the Canadian version (yakjuux) that doesn't automatically update. So mine didn't even upgrade to 4.0.4 before Google I/O, so I had to manually change it to yakju and install 4.0.4. I didn't even wait for the OTA before trying JellyBean.

So, were you rooted before getting the 4.1.1 OTA? If you were, you already have your answer.

If not, you might have to do some searching on that yourself as that isn't even close to the intention of this thread, and I don't have an answer for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I really wish I had a second Galaxy Nexus now just to use to try custom ROMs, as I want to be able to test ROMs, but have my Daily Driver.

There are so many I want to try after taking a closer look at the ROMs on the spreadsheet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Just noticed someone REALLY broke it 12 hours ago, had to revert it.

Sorry if anyones changes got lost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baonguyen312:
great! thanh you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I'm currently trying to manually merge any useful additions that were done in the last 12 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] potsykate:
Thanks for that,I was going to ask that exact question to see if there was a comparison chart, thanks for the hard work in compiling one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vikasmohamed:
did you get the update while in india or abroad?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diempi:
Hot!

Thank you great idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lamashat:
is there suppose to be scrolling for this? if so its not working for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeLopez:
can you add a line for the type of browser a rom may come with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Spreadsheet is still doing very well, besides having to revert it every few days since people randomly break it.

I just gave BAMF a quick try, but I don't like the notification toggles, so I'm going to give XenonHD a try for a while.

Thanks everyone for the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You should put Ascent on the list. Great performance. Runs smooth.

Thank you so much for starting this! Such a good idea. I will update it when I notice something.

Really helpful! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haxor:
Guys I am on stock jelly bean and I just rooted my nexus bcoz some root app so after root will I get OTA update ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
If you have a custom recovery like clockworkmod installed it should block an OTA from installing on your phone. You would have to install a packaged rom that includes the build or update you are looking for I believe. If you are worried about receiving an OTA you can always freeze (do not delete) the system file associated with looking for updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wargasm009:
Very well done and thorough...Saves me alotta time trying them...thanks OP!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Yeah, that was my whole intention, and it has really taken off.

And now that it's been going for a while, I'm seeing other ROM's I didn't even know about that I may give a try. I think I'm going to have to purchase the pro version of ROM Toolbox or Titanium Backup to make restoring my apps faster between roms.

I'm currently on XenonHD V8 (08-05-12) and I'm really liking the customizable notification toggles (compared to CM10's) and the Digital Clock Widget. These two features have allowed me to get rid of Widgetsoid completely. And the with Apex Launcher included it has made me start using it instead of Stock.

I'm also VERY tempted to give ParanoidAndroid a try, it looks so nice, I just don't want to do all the customizations yet. I may wait for a stable CM 10.0 release.

I'm definitely not regretting purchasing a used Galaxy Nexus (For $250) instead of renewing my Telus contract early for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. I'll probably just do what I did for my last two phones (Galaxy Nexus and Atrix 4G), watch kijiji for someone selling theirs to get an iPhone, and then low-ball them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Be careful when using titanium or others. Apps can get corrupted when restoring them. I don't use restore apps at all anymore.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I definitely understand the risks involved. I always to a nandroid, and separately backup my SMS and Call log, and the last few times I backed up with both Rom Toolbox and Titanium. And if something still gets corrupted and I can't recover, I can handle that.

I do use this phone as my daily driver, and pop my SIM in my Atrix 4G while switching ROMs.

But with all the info on the spreadsheet now, I don't spend very long on some ROMs before trying the next one. For example decided to give BAMF a try, but I really don't like the Quick Settings notification toggles. I didn't even get far enough to install Gapps before I moved on to XenonHD.

But now they are recommending a wipe if I go from XenonHD 8 to XenonHD 9, so I will have to use Titanium again.

Thanks for the warning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Well restoring apps from a backup will probably not mess your system up, but it may cause the restored app to not work properly. You would just have to uninstall the app and reinstall from the market if that happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Yeah, I guess that may or may not have happened before, but that is tolerable if needed.

The reason I'm considering purchasing the pro versions is to make me able to restore apps and data with a single click. ROM Toolbox Free doesn't even allow you to do it manually per app, and Titanium Free lets you do it, but you have to manually click "Install" for each App.

A lot of people have recommended I purchase Rom Toolbox, but up until now I have never paid for an app, I can always find a free version (usually ad supported) or get by without it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gilligan156:
Is there any rhyme or reason to the color coding across the top? I'm currently using EuroSkank JellyBro and it's color-coded red. o_O

Also, I keep seeing in comments "crackflash", what does that mean? O_o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Well, since anyone can edit the sheet, anyone can put the colors there and may confuse some.

Originally all 3 of the fairly clean CM10 based ones in blue were together, as they are the closest things to an "Official" CM10 nightly. Besides that there isn't anything that I've done.

When it gets down to it, the spreadsheet is to help users decide which ROMs to try for themselves, when there are a lot to choose from. Different users have different expectations for features and what they want or don't want included in a ROM, and what mods they can even easily do to a ROM.

I have no idea what you mean by "crackflash", maybe you can be specific in where you are seeing this. Maybe you are talking about a cracked flash player, but I have no idea. It maybe has something to do with the recent removal of flash being able to be installed on Android devices from the play store. I just install the apk separately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] udmbrian:
so whats the bets rom for battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
That is the Million Dollar Question......

A lot of ROM developers put in their own tweaks, it might be a good idea for me to add a line to the sheet to say what battery life optimizations have been made, but it is very tough to say, and there are so many factors to consider. It is also heavily dependent on your apps and settings, whether you use wifi, screen timeout settings, push notifications, etc.

The only way to know for sure is to just try to select the ROMs that have the features you want and give them a try.

But Battery Life is something that is going to be very different for every person.

Most of the ROMs I've tried give me about the same battery life with my usage. The most significant changes you will see with battery life are optimizing your own usage and settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Different kernels will effect battery life too. I usually flash something other than the stock kernel when using roms.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
I had some reboots with XD. Also the lockscreen targets menu was placed in the wrong place for me.

Other than that, it is a very nice rom. Rasjellybean and cm10 also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I updated the first post with my personal experiences, with everything I have tried.

And since I'm using an exchange server that requires a pin or password for work emails, I can't even use the lock screen anyway.

After seeing some of the updates on a few of the ROMs, I'm interested to spend a few hours just giving a few others a try. XenonHD definitely made my expectations high for other ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Rasjellybean with trinity kernel is quite a nice rom. That's what I am running now. I always need to fix permissions and color with trinity though, but it makes the device superfast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Bump...what are you guys all running now?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
AOKP Build 1. May change to Codename Android just for more customization features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StrizzMatik:
JBSourcery v2. Hands down the best JB ROM for customizing, it's not even close. Then probs CNA, XenonHD and CM10/Jellybro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasonhunterx:
Codename is the ishh I finally settled down with a rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I'm still running XenonHD 8, but I may give a bunch a try today to see what I think. I just don't know if AOKP is for me, since it sounds like it has the same "Quick Settings" as BAMF and I wasn't a fan myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
It's not the same I don't think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Aokp is quite nice. I am running it on my tab 2, it isn't too bad on nexus either, but I wouldn't call it perfect yet. Aokp has an option to use bamf style toggles or regular toggles.

Bamf is one of my favorites, I don't like the toggles either though. Giving the new miui a try again now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
AOKP build 1 has all the features that I need :)

Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP nightly with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I'm starting to get very frustrated, because I have to keep reverting the spreadsheet because people feel the need to delete the ROM's that are of no use to them, or that they feel shouldn't be on the sheet.

And every time I revert, anyone else's changes get lost between the versions. I knew this would be an issue, but I'm getting tired of reverting it every few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fayosi:
Sh*t i changed something by accident.

I'm really sorry :( What should I do

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

It was an accident.. I Messed up the A10 and A11:crying::crying:

EDIT: I reverted back the spreadsheet..I thought I had messed everything up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
It's fine, and I understand a lot of people don't know what they are doing, but you just have to log in with a Google account, and you can revert to al older version before you started editing. I just don't check it every day, so sometimes it is broken for a while if someone breaks it and didn't revert themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rapydax:
Great now the document is ruined:mad:, hopefully someone saved it before it got screwed.

I also wonder if the huge amount of CNA rom is actually true. How come so many people use it over AOKP or CM10?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I personally like aokp over cm10 and cm10 based ROMs. But that is just my opinion. I haven't used CNs ROMs. I think its the same team that made ultimate droid ROMs back in the day. Bamf is my all around favorite so far because of its stability and features. AndroidME is another good one. There are a lot of superb ROMs for this device.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I see someone else has reverted it, it is definitely starting to get VERY busy. I may spend some time on it when I get a chance to try some ROMs again.

I agree that some people aren't being honest with the amount of users of a ROM. I'm tempted to reset some to zero, but overall you can't control how honest people are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
My favorite rom is xenon hd. It's super smooth and fast. It doesn't come with the vzw client, but I load it from a recovery using a vzw zip file. I've tried almost every rom out there and keep coming back to xenon.

Been testing the new radios FF02 and they run pretty smoothly.

Has anyone had any success with the vzw login client baked into the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trekfan422991:
Favorite is PA with trinity kernel

It has a toggle in the extended power menu that makes the nav bar disappear
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elnovio:
Sorry if I missed something, but I cannot find the Customized Backlight Levels for AOKP as it is listed in the spreadsheet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrackBurglar:
Excellent Work, Man!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Thess523:
You should try the new AffinitySERIES ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elnovio:
Thanks, and where do I find the customizable autobrightness there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Is the sheet perma locked now? If so, I can understand why since people kept totally demolishing it, deleting entire rom columns, and putting in the wrong information for roms (defacing). :rolleyes:

Id still like to continue keeping the AOKP column updated though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Paranoid Android 2.1.3 gives you the best of both worlds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyg4merz:
I think u have to try paranoid and miui. Using miui now and stuck for 4weeks already with it. Never use aokp again since JB because of the awesomeness of MIUI :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
I have both MIUI and AOKP as nands, and switch back and forth when I get bored of the other. Tried Paranoid and most of the others, but AOKP better suits my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kong:
No love for MIUI? :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyg4merz:
Everyone liking is different. I loved the way paranoid hybrid mode on all apps and miui for the design. Used to love aokp customization but now I prefer appearance over personalization :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
When you say hybrid mode on all apps, do you mean Tablet Mode? If so, AOKP has that.

I'm the same way... I love to customize the appearance of my phone. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I have no idea how the permissions got changed, I haven't had a chance to try any new ROMs for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Thank you for fixing it! There were, at one time, roughly 4 to 5 roms listed before AOKP, but for some unknown reason someone deleted them. Unfortunately I didn't have a backup of that one saved to my hard drive. I've had to re-upload a backup from my hard drive quite a few times because someone totally screwed up the entire thing beyond repair.

Not sure why people feel the need to delete entire rows of rom columns, or just remove or put in wrong bits of rom information. Regardless of which rom people use, the chart is there for the community. Defacing it doesn't help. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Hybrid mode is completely different than tablet mode. Go to a paranoid android thread and read the OP. It's awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Ah... thanks! Will do. :)

BAMF doesn't make the list?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
+1 BAMF is one of the best

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
It was on there. Someone deleted it along with about 5 other roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
That's not nice. I guess we could restore them from the history...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Easier to just redo them.

I sat here at my computer yesterday while someone added "Discontinued" to the AOKP column and then deleted all the information in it. Someone, or some people, have been working hard at deleting the entire thing over the last 2 nights. I just keep restoring it.

I think it's time to make the sheet to where you have to log in to edit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namzad:
Fast Charge

This spreadsheet is a fantastic idea. Thanks!

Fast Charge is a feature I love.

I'm not sure if this is a function of the Rom, or the kernel. In any case, i have added "Fast Charge" as a row to the list.

I'd appreciate your feedback as to which Roms have this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Firewalker1980:
Maybe add a column for Team EOS ROM (v3) ? Seems to be getting quite popular :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
I've now passed on ownership of the document to RoseTyler as she has been keeping the document clean for a while now. I've also removed the ability for anyone to edit, as it is probably no longer necessary. Anyone can still view it, but users need to edit.

It would be awesome if we could get this kind of information to stay up to date on the XDA Wiki, but a Google Doc is WAAAAY easier to edit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Thank you so much!!

People will need to log in to their Google accounts and then request access. I think they can then edit the document (this will be a trial by error thing until I get a better handle on the permissions). This way if someone choose to delete entire columns or attempt to destroy the sheet I can at least remove their access as every edit is logged with their email address.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joegrind:
Just requested access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Not sure if I got you or not yet, but if not pretty please be patient. I have to do all of the requests manually. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
I joined the spreadsheet while logged into Google, before access was restricted. I appear to have kept that access.

Sent from my 4.1.2 toro Bugless Beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
I made sure those who had already been manually added by HwyXingFrog kept their access before the sheet went private. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimHTP:
I requested access this weekend under jimmyhitech@gmail.com, would you add me please? Not trying to edit, just view!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Alright, so now I think we've got the settings properly done on the spreadsheet, to allow anonymous viewing, and have to request permission to edit.

And, I now have a second Galaxy Nexus (used to be on Fido, bought for $230), so now I can have one dedicated to trying out ROMs and hopefully update the spreadsheet with my findings as it's been over 2 months since I've tried a ROM. I just finished rooting it and am downloading some of the 4.1.2 roms. I will only be testing 4.1.2 ROMS right now.

I'm also thinking I might root my Nexus 7, and basically copy over our current google doc to a new one to put on the Nexus 7 sheet, we will probably copy the collaborators too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Apparently some people either thought I was kidding, or they did not take me seriously. When I added " If you screw up the sheet, you lose your editing access." to the spreadsheet, I was not joking.

So far a ton of people have lost their editing privileges (every change you make is logged in the revision history along with your email address that shows exactly what changes you made. These changes are public, anyone can see them and anyone can see your email address attached to those changes. They are also emailed to me).

The sheet is for the benefit of the entire Galaxy Nexus community. Please, stop messing up the sheet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Thanks again for keeping up the Spreadsheet RoseTyler.

I do like that now it only shows the 4.1.2 ROMs, as anything before might be considered out-of-date.

Now with 4.2 starting to roll out today OTA to Galaxy Nexus devices. 4.2 will probably be the new standard for all our popular ROMs.

I'm even considering putting one of my Galaxy Nexus phones back to stock to give a clean stock 4.2 a try. 4.2 is the only reason I haven't modified my Nexus 7 yet, I'm waiting for the OTA for 4.2 to give a try. I really want to see how changing users works now that it is officially supported.

It seems they are pulling features from CM and other ROMs into stock. I'm very excited to see new roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pappiloo:
How about adding another sheet for the ROM names with columns for Stability (Crashes) non-responsive Apps and Random reboots.

Then users can grade that as A, B or C.

You can tabulate the list later, removing duplicate entrirs from same user
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Looks like someone decided to remove all the colors, I know they might have been a bit overkill before, but it just doesn't look right in all white.

I will leave it up to RoseTyler to revert.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
I changed them. A few were screaming about the bright canary yellow lol. Rather than listen to the complaints I just got rid of them all.

Edit: I even considered changing the background to black with white text (which is a hell of a lot easier to read), but then you wouldn't be able to see the links. Meh.

Sometimes you just can't please everyone. :(

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

That's kind of what the official forum threads for each ROM are for. It's up to the individual user to do the research. We just provide very basic info about each ROMs options. ;)

Grading wouldn't work. Remember the top row that use to be there for "+1 if this is your daily driver"? You would not believe how many people I sat and watched raise the numbers to one rom (sometimes by 20) and then turn right around and lower the numbers for another. This is the thing I want to get away from, which is why we don't need anything other than rom news in the lower section. I had to delete nasty comments from those as well. Just too much of a headache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Originally I had only added the color to decipher similar roms (mainly different nightly sources of CM10 before they started officially doing them). Then people started adding their own colors, so it can be a bit much, and the colors I used originally were very minimal.

I was only using them to make certain parts easier to see, but a different color for every column isn't really necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
Perhaps someone deleted the original colors.. when I found the chart there was none, so I added in the pink background and purple text. Took all of a day before others followed suit hehe.

Right now I just want the chart design to stay as is. I'll always make small changes to enhance the look (or edit things to be easier to understand for the novice user) in some form or fashion. It's something I enjoy. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Ok, just updated the Google Doc. Paranoid Android is now android 4.2.

A lot of features are gone temporarily, but it still has more options than stock for me. And it runs pretty nicely.

I wonder when the rest will be updated to 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HwyXingFrog:
Alright, just read up on Paranoid Android's future plans:

https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/RgFcFZP3E2v

They will be releasing AOSP based 4.2 roms for Nexus devices (since their 4 developers all use Nexus devices).

So, since I want to use 4.2, I will probably be using Paranoid from now on. They just give me the features I want, even though they don't yet, I prefer to have 4.2 than previous CM10 features.

I will definitely be keeping a close eye on new Paranoid Android releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoseTyler:
I didn't change any of the info you added, but I did make it a bit cleaner (added notes). Line 21, however, is a bit unclear for PA. Most are getting line 21 confused with the Rom Manager app from the Play store.

Line 14 is for the rom manager apps (apps used to download and/or install roms). Line 21 is a baked in Rom Manager such as JBSourcery Tools or AOKP ROM Control (neither of which download or install roms). The baked in rom managers give you one centralized location within the phones settings for the majority of the roms features. I didn't want to name it Tools because then people would get it confused with kernel tools. At any rate, there's a note on it. :cool:
