Opinions folks"

Im Looking for the best latest and most popular rom to try with all the bells and whistles! This would be by popular demand.

Just asking opinions to help spare time of Flashing roms as trial and error , id rather get the better of the bunch now. I know roms are opinionated and by preference but by popular demand whats hot out there?

With all the good tweaks /mods/themed etc...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
All you really have to do is skim through the threads and pick the ones that interest you, instead of creating thread where people will end up fighting over which ROM is best and then a mod has to come and close the thread.

As far as TW ROMs I would check out Jovy23's ROMs....if you want aosp or aokp, there basically the same with a few different options.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
the download for the rom is only 127mb? seems small for a rom with alot of features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] midnightdevil66:
I would try it but the native dark theme often conflicts with the theme I apply making some apps unreadable. I'm sure it's a great rom nevertheless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GavinMazey:
Re: [ROM][JB4.2.2] Elemental X - Toro - v1.0 - 3/26/13

The rom is not inverted until you toggle the eclipse toggle in settings. I have the toggle on and have better bean x blue cm10 theme which inverts many apps. I have not seen any readability issues with this combo yet. Have on other inverted roms though.

Re: [ROM][JB4.2.2] Elemental X - Toro - v1.0 - 3/26/13

It now comes with a native dark holo theme(almost stock) NOT the same as eclipse versions. You CAN however turn on eclipse mode to get the darkness that eclipse had. Give this a shot, like I said before you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

FASEST ROM OUT THERE by far!

Re: [ROM][JB4.2.2] Elemental X - Toro - v1.0 - 3/26/13

No performance settings in ROM settings.

So many different kernels that do little things differently can cause issues and jut down right pita to support all. Seems most people use an app these days anyways. And the apps available just give way more control over kernel than ROMs settings ever have.

I highly recommend to use Trickster Mod app. Free(there is a donate version key) and it gives you all the control you could ever ask for over the kernel variables. even has in depth scheduler settings if u wanna delve into that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Re: [ROM][JB4.2.2] Elemental X - Toro - v1.0 - 3/26/13

This IS possible!!!!!

Isn't there a multi-ROM edited recovery for nexus devices? I know there is on nexus 7

If it's available in Gnex, the only things you would need are a kexec kernel(would need to ask Nitro for that unless is already Built in. Or just install a kernel with the kexec patch) and then the other you put ANOTHER rom running a kernel with kexec patch.

Honestly tho

elemental X has anything someone could

Ask for and list will grow even more. So I say stick with this 1 and enjoy the amazingness the Nitro will bring to it more than he already has this guy is one of Top developers I've ever seen and he will never ever disappoint you

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Txwolf1980:
Re: [ROM][JB4.2.2] Elemental X - Toro - v1.0 - 3/26/13

It's over my head, but (to me) pie would be perfect if it showed everything on top gravity. The commit would have to introduce a new if/then to invert the time and notifications. It would probably require new xml files and pngs to be introduced into the code as well. I just don't know smali/baksmali well enough to do it, though.

Re: [ROM][JB4.2.2] Elemental X - Toro - v1.0 - 3/26/13

Try swapping governors, or the kernel. The Rom I'm on (commotio) came with lean, and it was doing that, even oc'd. Lean is a good kernel. It just hates my phone. I swapped back to tiny, and I'm under at 920, with no issues. Done kernels just don't play nice with some hardware

Go into lock screen settings

Change security to pin

Set a pin

A setting will show up for "lock after this amount of time" and for "power button instantly locks". Set those how u want.

Then go back and change ur security to slider if that's what u want. I just did this and even tho those settings disappear once u choose slider again, whatever u chose sticks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kevin3328:
ROM has just begun.. Not even close to dead.. Nitro works by himself.. I believe his git is in the op.. U will c if he is doing work on his project by looking at it.. Generally speaking if a ROM runs well u r less likely to c a flood of comments questions etc.. The best thing about nitro IMO is the fact that his releases are fairly close to bug free and definitely worth the wait
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Kevbeegs is right on the money.

When a ROM is THIS good and rarely bug filled, and isn't built off a nightly source, its gonna seem like a "slow thread".

Besides having a "new family" and the whole "real life " jazz, Nitro works alone supporting his ROM/work for I believe 6+ devices consistently. It might seem weird not getting an update every other night or week even, but you've gotta remember this isn't a nightly type ROM where you'll get new code built in every day. The builds that do go public are always amazing(LIKE THIS ONE! :D )

You can rest assured that Nitro is almost always tinkering behind the scenes and even if he doesn't post an answer to ya he most likely saw what was said and if was a bug report you can bet he's trying to replicate and squash it.

I like them all really, including stock elemental x Luna kernel. I just enjoy playing with kernels and settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrbigdrawsz:
Nice, But Seems to Be Missing Some Things

I like this Rom, but I'm disappointed that it's missing two important things to me.

1. No transparent Nav & Status bar options (unless I'm missing that somewhere...I hope I am).

2. No option to put the hidden menu buttons on the Nav bar. I usually have them hidden on the left and right leaving the three regular buttons centered. When I go to do that here, it will only give me the option to show it and won't let me put another one on the other side. ANY HELP?

Again, like this Rom, but those two things may be a deal breaker for me to run back to AOKP.:confused:

That's certainly not what I'm asking him to do. But maybe if someone requests it or let's it be known that it's a desirable feature he MAY include it in build 3. Didn't know it was frowned upon to voice an opinion. :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Txwolf1980:
Frowned upon, no. But telling him that you need this feature, it you're leaving probably isn't the best way to phrase it either. The way you said (paraphrase) 'this may be a deal breaker for me, and I might have to go back to aokp, until it's included' smacked of an ultimatum. 'Fix it, it in gone'.

If you'd just left it at 'I'd like these features in the next build', it would've come off a lot better

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stick1300:
Want to know one of the best things I've started doing? Leaving my gps on all the time. Seriously, do it and I can guarantee you won't notice a difference in battery life. The only time it uses battery is when it's actively polling, which should only be for a few seconds at a time (navigation doesn't count, obviously). This is the only thing I've found that helps with gps lock times. It used to take 5 min on average to find a lock (sometimes, up to 10), but that was always at a time that I needed it, so it wasn't really working out. Just try it for a day; you'll see
