There's an ongoing thread in the rooting/rom subforum that has a list of the current ports available. It's fairly active so you should be able to get a good grasp of what everyone is running currently.

Here is a link to that thread ==> http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...-7-5-jelly-bean-now-resources-discussion.html

For me, I side with Jelly Belly. It is currently in version 2.2 and is extremely stable, which is what I look for in a very experimental/risky rom.

By the way when you flash the gapps is that exactly like flashing the ROM?

Yes. Flash the gapps immediately after flashing the ROM. Do not reboot in between.

I've been rocking Jelly Belly since v1.6, so like 3 days lol. Very solid and smooth rom. Very happy with it.

I have been using Vicious V2 since day one. I have been keeping up with all of the posts regarding jelly belly as well. Beyond some slight speed improvement tweaks, I don't see a reason to start all over and wipe and flash jelly belly. With the trinity jb17 kernel, I have had better battery life and barely a hiccup.

Does Vicious' ROM have screenshotting? I've tried every app I can think of on JoelZ's JB ROM and I only get a black screen.

Sure does. I never heard of a problem with screenshots in any of the JB ROMs.

Every rom does, it's still just volume down + power.

JoelZ's ROM doesn't have the ability to Screenshot at all. Unless he snuck it in the latest and greatest.

What's his JB port named? It sort of astounds me that a dev would take that out lol.

JoelZ's ROM is "You Jelly?", but I finally got it. I'm not used to having to hit them at the same time + hold for a second. DUUUHHH me

Oh that's the BAMF kang-thinger. How is it? I have to add that to my post today.

My best JB Rom so far.

So ive tried You Jelly, Vicious v3 and as of yesterday I've been on Razor's Jelly v2.5.

So far (its only been 12 hours) Razor's is my most stable, least battery draining ROM. Its as close to pure JB as you can get before source comes out.

[ROM] Razor's Jelly V2.5 [Verizon][Jelly Bean 4.1] - [VZW] Galaxy Nexus Development - RootzWiki

Theres no additives or goodies. Just the fixes for GPS, Data, etc but otherwise its as close to AOSP as possible.

Coming from Vicious, I had to do a full data wipe as I just tried a dalvik wipe but got stuck at the google logo. Did a battery pull after 15min, did a full wipe, re-install, and now im flying high. ;-)

Everyone should try this ROM out if you're looking for great battery life with buttery smoothness.

I noticed everyone is rocking a Trinity kernel. Where would I get that? What does a kernel do? I know these are noob questions but hey, I'm a noob

Check my Jelly Bean guide, post 4. Click on Experimental.

A kernel acts as the go between for the hardware and the software. It's the "brain."

Is flashing a kernel like flashing a rom?

In some regards yes, in some regards no. You need only wipe cache/dalvik, no need to wipe data. Past that, yes.
