I am NOT responsible for what you do to your phone. If you understand what you're doing with your phone, feel free to browse the available customization's we have for our Galaxy Nexus. If you have any problems (soft or even hard bricks) with anything linked on this list. Post here or send me a PM and i'll remove it asap. Developers, if you see your work named here something other than what you want. Please PM me the current name of your work and it will be updated with the next update.

*Edit* 2/8/12 Today's update will be the start of what will be a major overhaul for this thread. I will be moving theme's, tweaks and mods that are ROM specific underneath the specific ROM for easier / more organized access to these. The themes / tweaks / mod will still be listed singular, but on post #2 for those of you who like that view. If you find a theme / tweak / mod out of place please let me know asap. Also if you see i'm missing a theme / tweak / mod that works for a specific ROM that I don't have listed under it. Please let me know asap so that I can keep this as organized as possible. I can't do this without support from the community!
2/14/12 Ok, so I promised a new layout for you guys, but here's my problem ... I can't think of a good way to lay this out for you. Listing ROM link, Tweaks, links, Mods, links, Theme's, links seems a little too generic for me. If someone knows HTML enough to help me with dropdown or a way to hide unless clicked. I'll use those. Just message me with the code, and i'll implement it asap. Thanks!

If you have any problems, feel free to join us in our IRC channel specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus

lol just in case

I am coming from a Fascinate where the filesystem the ROM used was important. For instance if I wanted to go from MIUI to ICS and back I had to Odin stock in between the two for both flashes. None of the ROMs in OP mention anything like that so if I just want to sample each one can I just flash at will? Awesome thread and community support by the way...its what made me pick this phone over the DROID RAZR
 
#28 ·
There is only one file system for the Nexus, for now. I'm not sure if different file systems are even in the works for the Nexus. For now, you can flash at will, just remember to wipe as framework and .jar changes are most likely significantly different between ROM's.

Hi all,
New member here.

This is a great post. in the OP I see a list of ROMS and kernels. Are all Kernels compatible with all ROMS? How do you find out which one is with which, if not?

Thank you

One suggestion for the OP. For all the ROMs and Kernels....instead of merely listing the name and link, it would be great if you could include a few bullet points with the main features/attractions/key features not working etc. That will IMO make this post even more informative than it is.
 
#31 ·
I link directly to the developers post. I do this so the developers get the proper view count and thanks needed for their posts and descriptions. I may add main features, but I will not post attractions, as these are primarily opinionated. I try to keep this post as simple and un-biased as possible. The only thing I do, is respect the developers themselves. I post links to their ROM's / Kernels, if i'm asked to take it down. I do so without question. These guys deserve as much respect and non-biased opinions as possible. They do this on their free time, for their own personal pleasure. Not ours, we just get to enjoy the benefits of their work as the end user. That being said, the only thing you may see added at a later date are primary features.

As far as which are compatible with which, you'll need to read the OP from the developer. They'll tell you which version their ROM is and the kernel developers will tell you which version their kernel is compatible for. This is another feature I may add later, but tends to become a lot more work, especially with the amount of kernels and ROM's continuing to pour out.

Thanks for the compliment on the post, it's what makes me continue updating just about daily. I know it's used, and it's appreciated. Thanks again.
