For this week’s Galaxy Nexus ROM of the Week, check out latest LiquidSmooth ROM v3.2.
Based on latest Android 4.4.4, LiquidSmooth ROM has been developing well for the last few weeks that I have been following with a newly-revamped LiquidSmooth settings control, which allows you to tweak every part of your GNex.
Definitely, Galaxy Nexus is still a super-zippy smartphone with a custom ROM like LiquidSmooth which will bring you to the latest Android 4.4.4 along with many ways to customize/tweak your phone.
For customization, LiquidSmooth ROM offers one of the best customization options through its LiquidSmooth settings (in Settings). You will be able to customize everything from your lockscreen, status bar, navigation bar, CPU, and much more.
Navigation custom setttings are my favorite part of the ROM, you have many choices including App circle sidebar, Gesture anywhere (shortcuts using gestures), PIE Controls (two PIE controls on-board), and customization offered for your soft buttons plus navigation rings. By using your navigation options carefully, you will be able to maximize efficiency of your phone while on the go.
For notifications, LiquidSmooth ROM offers Active Display, Driving Mode, HALO, Heads Up notifications, lockscreen nofitications, and some more.
Overall, LiquidSmooth ROM has been around for many years and have proven to be one of the best ROMs for the GNex so definitely give it a go this week(end) and do let me know what you think!

To install, reboot into recovery, make backup ROM, wipe data/factory reset, install ROM, install kernel, install Gapps, install HighOnAndroid Conversion Kit (If you want OnePlus One camera, theme, AudioFX/Screencast apps), and reboot. (If for some reason you end up in a bootloop or get force-closed keyboard error on boot, reboot into CWM recovery, go to Mounts & Storage->format /system.
