The Galaxy Nexus Resource Bible

Hi all!

One of the wonderful things about owning a Nexus is all of the development. However, if you are a new user, or any user for that matter, a forum such as ours can become a bit overwhelming. I intend to cleary and neatly layout all of our CURRENT development in a tidy template for all to enjoy. Below you will find all of the development and guides that are available for our phone in a color coded index with links to the corresponding post. If you are a developer or a member that sees a thread you think should be added or removed to / from the op PLEASE PM ME! Posts within the thread may go unnoticed, and we wouldn't want that to happen.

Nice job! Thanks for taking time out to put up this thread.

withbloodskies · Oct 9, 2012

I'm unfortunately stuck under what ROM best suits me now. Either each day or days later I end up switching ROMs and normally a circle of ROMs.
I've tried all the big best ones and just ain't satisfied, well not in a bad way but more or less it gets sluggish or ends up riddled with bugs or something.

JBsourcery, Paranoid Android, CNA many more. Is there a stable decent ROM out there for a music/gamer junkie? If I need a certain I've flashed before is there a certain kernel I need to use?

My favorite kernel for a couple of years now has been Faux and I have been on CM since its early days with CM 4

Last time I ran cm10 official, I got all sorts of issues, cm updater kept force closing, screen flashed constantly at random times and other quirks.
I've ran Cm6 Late to 10 now. Cm is a great developer no doubt, maybe it was just a bad release? Guess I'll retry another cm10 nightlie see how it runs to me.

As far as kernels, I need something with battery life and extra options.

Already needs updating! The problem with these types of threads is that it is a lot of work to keep it current.

Instead of being rude why don't you point it out as asked in the OP?

Didn't mean to be rude. I'm just saying the op would have to go through the forum list daily or at least weekly to keep this up. Great idea, but hard to keep current - and not very useful if its not.

Not really hard, its an old phone most of the development is already done. The only thing new that I see worth adding is aokp build 5

I'd say.. we won't get new life until 4.2 or 5.x. It will happen but until then he is right, I bought this phone during the middle cycle of this phones life. If we had devs interested in porting sense/touchwiz we'd have some new life on our phone until 4.2-5.x.
