ROMS
Android Open Kang Project (AOKP):
XDA: here
RootzWiki: here
by: Romanbb
Notes: Recommended by me. Ensures best stability and amazing performance. Currently on 4.0.3
Codename Android:
XDA: here
by: AndroidUser00110001
Notes: None yet.
Apex v1.0.0: Custom Batteries, Network ADB, + MORE:
XDA: here
by: bigxie
Notes: Taken from original post:
This is a generally stock ROM with mods chosen to add to functionality without detracting from the Ice Cream Sandwich experience that Google
envisioned. I [bigxie] built this ROM from AOSP, merged in mods from CM9, AOKP, GummyNex, RootzBoat, and other ROMS, to create what I feel is a perfect mixture of stock feel and helpful customizations.
I had a lot of fun building, testing, and running this ROM. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

I'm finding it increasingly difficult ti distinguish between which things work with the CDMA/LTE Nexus vs. which work with the GSM Version. Maybe the sections should be broken down by device to make it easier. I would hate to accidently load something that only works on the GSM device and screw up my phone.

hey dude, thank you for your time here. I would like to throw a suggestion at you. You should split these up into GSM and LTE because one person making a mistake and well... it could screw things up for them.
I really don't like the way xda is doing this gsm/lte thing, there needs to be more of a seperation so that there is less clutter and confusion.(I'm talking about the main forum threads being segregated).
In for later
Really confused

I'm so in agreement. Maybe XDA should have a GSM and an CDMA thread.
I have a Droid Razr rooted (so easily to root I might add) which is so cool. "
Everything works to tea. Battery Life is 2 days with heavy power use, nav, phone calls, golf course range finder, internet etc! but also I'm also getting a Galaxy Nexus next Wednesday ( very excited and yes I'm going to have 2 LTE devices) and so far after reading all the root and hack stuff I'm left in the dust, just way too complicated. Being a Noob and reviewing what the GN has to offer I'm thinking why bother with the GN and staying with the Razr. I'm sure I'm pis.ing you'all off as this is a GN forum. I should note that I've rooted many different Androids devices and have jailbroken many different iPhones in the past to get the best they could offer but my head is spinning trying to figure this all out. If it were simple and I knew that my with my "Verizon Galaxy Nexus I'm in the right forum (GSM or CDMA) I may keep my GN and be very happy and happily try to tweek the phone...but as of now I'm kinda confused.
PS... Presently I've had a few Martinis
ON A VERY PERSONAL NOTE:
MY DEEP APPRECIATION FOR ALL THOSE THAT GIVE US VALUABLE AND VERY, VERY COOL WAYS TO MAKE OUR DEVICES GET TO THE SUPERMAN STATUS...
You cool tecknofob_delicious hack fiend_oids I bow down to you, and I always hit the donate button when I have been helped.

I also think GSM and LTE should be split into 2 different forums. I've downloaded an LTE instead of GSm already, thankfully noticed before it was finished downloading.
Another request to split up GSM/CDMA. Or maybe a polite request to the developers to point out in the thread title which they are developing for. Most say, but some do not.
Thanks
Hey everyone,
My name is Mohit Rohatgi, and I consider myself a technology enthusiast who essentially lives on these forums I thought that since I had spare time while I learn to code, I would create this thread throughout many different forums listing the different ROMs, Kernels, Mods, etc available for different phones to make life easier for users who enjoy customizing their phones to the fullest extent.
