Try “Go Launcher EX” It has so many themes and built in widgets already. You can long press the google search bar and drag it to the trash can or X at the top of the screen to remove it.

I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but what exactly are the benefits to installing AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus right now?

After flashing this one, I can no longer video chat in Google+ or messenger. It force closes every time.

Thanks!! This solved the problem. Still wasn’t the cleanest restore possible, but it was better than losing everything. I’m a bit of a Titanium Backup newbie, and I find their GUI rather confusing.

AOKP is awesome. I’m not running it now (running the leaked rooted 4.0.4) but I loved it when I was running it. It is really, really awesome.

Rooted my GNex and flashed AOKP today. First time rooting ever! Went smoothly thanks to numerous tutorials and videos

But one of the things I was looking forward to was getting rid of the Google search bar at the top, and I see no way to do that. I DO like using it, but would rather bring it up via the soft key search button (like my OG Droid used to do). Disabling it in Apps also disables it from being called by that search button.

Any advice? I know Nova Launcher can get rid of it but I’d rather not have to use it.

Also, is there a one-stop place for themes? I’ve found a bunch scattered here, xda and rootz but if there is a consolidated list that I’m not aware of, could someone point me to it?

TIA

100% without a doubt THE BEST ROM on the GNex!

Beware for imitators and know they can copy the features but not the quality!

I’m on beta 5. Thinking about trying aokp but this just runs way to smooth with awesome battery life.

Just use the first option missing apps + data. Not really sure if that option is available on the free version though. The “acore” process errors are when you try to reinstall system data. I had this exact same issue last night

AOKP has been my tried and true rom and kernel. The AOKP roms and kernels have had the best battery life, stability, most options for customizing and themes.

Recommended for sure!

Google told me via email that prepaid for previous users would be back up within two weeks.

Right now, re-adding prepaid cards is disabled. They only allow provisioning of new cards as of right now. Google told me via email it should be back up within two weeks.
