Gray and red may not be two colors that one would think go together, but it surprisingly looks pretty good. If you have a Galaxy Nexus and are running the Android Open Kang Project’s Milestone 4 build then you might benefit from checking this one out. Big shout out to Zathus over at RootzWiki for going with something out of the ordinary and new. 

If you love covering up your Galaxy Nexus and making sure it’s nice and safe, then you may have seen our review of the Ringke Slim case. So far it’s our favorite out of all of the cases we have tried for the G-Nex, but now, it just got a whole lot better. Anyone using an extended battery might have learned that the slim case was not the right fit, so they have released a design specifically for people rocking the extra battery power.

Orders are available now and it will only run you a $20 bill. Not bad for the feeling of extra security for your Nexus device. Still using a case to keep your devices safe?

Order here.

Note: Photo above is the Slim case from our previous review, not the extended version.

Custom ROMs are great for having a ton of extra features and abilities, but what about when you want to change the look of your entire handset. That’s where custom themes take over. This particular one called Glowing Green, comes from developer Kevin3328 and it will make your Galaxy Nexus stand out bright green in a sea of blues.

Turning all system controls and apps into a nice bright shade of green will be perfect for those people who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day throughout the year. And with the greenest of all the holidays coming up, now would be a good time to flash it. Below we have installation instructions and the zip files for you to download and install. 

Users of CyanogenMod on the Galaxy Nexus now have another awesome zip that they can flash to change the look and feel of their device. It’s called Reloaded Status Bar and if you enjoy having all of your system toggles and music controls right in your status bar, then you are going to love this one. As you can see in the photo above, it doesn’t look like their is a single system toggle you can’t have in the notification bar. Worried about room for your notifications? Thankfully, there is a separate tab for all of your notifications. 

We have been following Peter Alfonso’s work ever since the beginning, so whenever we see him pump out new ROMs, we like to give them some spotlight. This release is Bugless Beast for the Galaxy Nexus. Downloads for the ROM have been available for a bit now, but with him constantly updating it and there even being nightlies, we figured we should point everyone to the newest and best download that’s available. 

If you owned an HTC Thunderbolt at any point during the last year, rooted it, and tossed on a custom ROM, there is a good chance that it was one of Team BAMF’s. They basically took over that whole scene from the get-go and never let up. So now that they have finally released their first ROM for the Galaxy Nexus, you should probably think about giving it a look even if you have become attached to one of the other 2-dozen available.

In this ROM titled “Paradigm,” you will find an AOSP 4.0.3 base with some of 4.0.4 thrown in. They tossed out all of the “useless” tweaks and mods, but left you with enough to add to the stock experience. You will still find customizable quick controls, an LTE widget, custom clock, customizable lock screen apps, and many of the rest of the “must haves” in Nexus ROMS. Again, this should be a good one. 

Last night, magic happened. The first CyanogenMod 9 nightlies began to go live starting with all of the Nexus devices including the Galaxy Nexus and XOOM on Verizon. If you haven’t been following any of the kangs that have been floating around for a few weeks, then you are in for a treat. This is “official” when it comes to CM9, so feel free to take this Friday and enjoy yourselves. And don’t forget, that you need both the ROM and Google apps files since CM builds never include them.
