I just picked up the UK galaxy nexus and am in love! I love this phone! Coming from its predecessor, the nexus s, I'm amazed at the jump in overall performance and data speeds. Everything is buttery smooth, especially its GPS locking (something that lacked on the nexus s).
However, being a frequent flasher of new goodies in the development section, it has led me to ask what roms are worth installing. Stock feels impressively stable and quick. Battery life seems promising at this point but further testing would have to be done to be completely sure. Is there anything missing from the new roms today that stock just doesn't hold up to?
Any input is welcomed! Thanks.

You should take a look at aokp m5. Great customizing options, good performance and stable as Stock rom. I use it with Lean Kernel and battery life is also very good.
I also tried Gummy rom which was very good too but has less options than aokp.

Start off with aokp, its the go to rom. Then maybe paradigm next if you're not happy.
What's aokp got that has the edge over others (ie stock)
Is there an app for led control? Free flow has weird permissions that it asks for so I'm hesitant to use that.

Chill out man. I did read it and didn't see anything that stood out. That's why I asked, maybe I missed something.
And for your information, a lot of people using it doesn't mean its safe...

Uh. Yeah it does. It's been around for a LONG time and a lot of people using a GN uses that app. The app is developed by a professional app development group, why would they make malicious apps?
You're asking for a app to customize your LED. In order for that to happen, the app must have all those permissions to know when to light your LED in that specific color that you set.
Paranoid people these days.

Not naive at all. As long as a app has popularity around the Android community then I'm fine with it. If it's a new app with no ratings or not listed on any websites, I'll look into it some more.
If you're being this paranoid then you should be paranoid about choosing a ROM and kernel because it may contain malicious code in it to steal all your info
AOKP m5+ Franco kernel all the way

It is being absolutely naive. Your reasons for trusting an app is completely base on public perception. Just because the census likes the app doesn't prove its safe.
That's just ridiculous. Please stop hijacking my thread.

Look at the permissions. They go with the app, it all makes sense. You want a app to perform checks on your phone. If that action is there, then it'll light up the LED in that particular color. It's obvious that you want a app to do a lot, in order to accomplish that you'll have to give permissions to that app.
If it's such a problem then don't install it. But if you want to customize your LED you WILL need to give access. And since you're flashing ROMs and all that, you're giving apps ROOT access. Are you going to question a app requesting root now? what about kernels and ROMs?
Someone uploads a radio, and so forth. When you flash ROMs, Kernels, etc it's a risk taker. Same thing with apps. Same thing with computers in general, same thing with life. Life is filled with risks and possible malicious attacks.
What's the fun in it when you're paranoid about every single little thing? Nothing. It's quite obvious that Light Flow LED is a app that ISN'T MALICIOUS as well as Google incorporated security measures to make sure apps being uploaded to the play store aren't malicious.
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2012/02/android-and-security.html
Not to mention Android is built on LINUX. There are viruses/malicious stuff on Linux but it's rare. Most malicious stuff come from third-party markets / downloaded APKs from unknown sources. Not from the Play Store, if it is on there then it will surely be removed.
If you're worried about permissions and all that of a particular party taking youre data? .. then that brings up the case of Google taking all your data for research and the whole debate of "privacy and Google."

It's not a opinion. It's actually a fact. I even included a blog post from Google itself in regards to a sandbox with apps.
No, there is no way you can control your LED without giving it massive amounts of permissions. It's like saying you want a contractor to do several fixes around the house but yet you won't give them permission to be in your house to do the fix.
It's impossible for a app to control your LED and have it function properly because in order for the LED to come up. It needs permission to CHECK the state of your phone to do the LED actions. Otherwise, the LED would just be popping up randomly for no reason or LED wouldn't come up at all.
I don't get how this concept is hard to grasp. Maybe when CM incorporates "disabling permissions from a app" will make you happier. This was in CM7.

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

Thanks again for the responses guys. Tried my first few ROMs last night... JellyBomb... LabRats... Nice ROMs, but they are too "modded" and touched for my taste...
What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!

Hi all.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 for few days, and i installed a JB rom on it, and there are some things i really love !
So my questions are these :
-Is there any mod, or anything to activate like on the s2/3 when you are in the messaging app, you just put your phone to your ear, and it call the contact that you are texting with ?
-Is there anyway to get the samsung's keyboard on the galaxy nexus ?
-Maybe is there any possibility to get the lockscreen ?
-And is there any mod or something to get the messaging app ?
My device is the GSM Galaxy Nexus (Maguro), running Cataclysm ROM (4.3)
I can change my rom to get these mods.
Thanks four your replys guys, and i hope you understand my english.

Searching for these would be your best bet. If you can't find them, they likely haven't been ported. Good chance the lockscreen is a no. There may be alternatives on the market to get the features you want.

So you have an S2 and a Gnex?
So basically you want some Touchwiz on your Pure Google experience...
-No, that's a Touchwiz feature.
-I believe you can sideload the Samsung keyboard apk to your Gnex and install it.
-No, that is also a Touchwiz feature and probably hard as hell to get working/ported.
-Possibly if you sideload the Messaging apk file.

Okay, so I've had i317 for about 4 months now, its a great phone. I would just love to see an ics 4.0.4 rom, be it stock or aosp,, aokp, etc for this device. The reason being is that there are alot of apps I used to use, such as UMA and a few others I cannot remember as of right now. Forgive me if this isn't the correct area to post the question lol. But can anyone possibly help me with my issue I'm having? A. ort or something would be ideal if possible.
On a side note: I have some prior knowledge with developing roms and getting them to work fully and such, like betas alphas and what not. just haven't gave much thought as to post on the forum untill now. So I'm not completely of the noob calibur so to speak.
Lastly, my final question, would anyone be interested in deving up a 100% pure custom 4.3 rom that is completely Pokemon themed right down to the contacts and dialer. I will include more detail upon request, also one that isn't 10.1 based or cm in general. The reason I say non cm based is because volume+ sound boost breaks the speaker and crackles pretty badly, and i am partialy deaf so the apk is much needed. Any help would be be very appreciated and id be eternally greatful.

Okay, so I've had i317 for about 4 months now, its a great phone. I would just love to see an ics 4.0.4 rom, be it stock or aosp,, aokp, etc for this device. The reason being is that there are alot of apps I used to use, such as UMA and a few others I cannot remember as of right now. Forgive me if this isn't the correct area to post the question lol. But can anyone possibly help me with my issue I'm having? A. ort or something would be ideal if possible.
On a side note: I have some prior knowledge with developing roms and getting them to work fully and such, like betas alphas and what not. just haven't gave much thought as to post on the forum untill now. So I'm not completely of the noob calibur so to speak.

It's not going to happen. The note 2 was shipped with 4.1.1 (or higher) so there is no 4.0 source for devs to work with.
Also, since pretty much every AOSP rom uses the CM Theme Manager, it's not that common to see themed roms (there are exceptions, but they tend to be lightly themed). Either find a CM theme to your liking or learn to theme your rom.
Sorry my friend...
You aren't the only one wanting it...
I'd even take a nice CM6 ROM for this device...
But as mentioned... It's just a dream... g

Okay, well shoot. Could you at least tell me that the possibility to get an apk to adapt and work on a newer rom is possible? I ask this because the main reason for me asking a dream question is simply that I love the ultimate mobile armor apk. it is the best privacy apk ever thought of. It was removed for reasons unknown. Back when I had my S3 and I717, it worked on both. Sadly it will not stick on the rooms I run currently. (Cleanrom 5.0, lionrom 2.1, etc.) Could the scripts and such be altered somehow for it to be compatible? On the S3 I always ran cm10 and its stick. Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions that are helpful and or leading to an apk exactly similar to ultimate mobile armour would be greatly appreciated.

Apk alteration is very possible ...
The trick is finding a dev to work it out ...and since apps are owned by their respective creators ...you would need permission from him/her to use or modify the code...
And I've always said it ...
A few emails and pm's go a long way..
Hit up the dev and see what you can learn ...g

Ive looked and searched and I've found nothing from the devs of this apk. Its been completely stricken from the web. What are my other options here as far as these apk Modding concerns go? I've found nothing for secure mobile sadly.
I see...
That being said ...it appears the app has been killed off for legal reasons ??
And lookout mobile is inferior how ??
Most of these security apps are monitored via 3rd party in addition to device activity ...
So it stands to reason that if your service for the apk is dead....it won't work anyway..
Best advice...pick an alternate and move forward....
Lookout and AVG are both exceptional ...and many others are available ..
Norton or Mccaffe possibly too...
Happy hunting ...and sorry I couldn't be of more help...g

To run S-Pen features you got to install Touchwiz Roms, not AOSB, AOSP or others from Android Original Development. Last don't support the stylus and it's possibilities.

So there are no AOSP ROM's or Any Mod's which can support any of S-Pen features?? I wanted to try one of those but without S-Pen functionality its kind of No No.

S-Pen features need Samsung Touchwiz UI which AOSPs don't have, so: NO WAY

Can't as it is closed Samsung source so it can't be added to open source projects

People will never understand that AOSP Android =/= Samsung TW Android. If you wanted Samsung's S Pen features, you'll have to go for a stock Samsung ROM. AOSP wasn't designed with Samsung's proprietary features in mind.
It's so hard to explain it to people who refuse to understand.

Care to share which apps you used? I used to use AOKP, but then switched to Ditto Note 3 because I wanted the Samsung S Pen suite, HDMI out and a camera that actually works properly.
