It’s an appreciated change of pace when a team of developers can simply state their goal. Over on the BAMF site, the developers intro the Paradigm ROM with, “When we set out to build this ROM, we wanted to keep the feel as stock as possible while adding as much functionality as possible. The primary concern was always stability and user experience.” That’s what a flasher likes to hear. From my short time with the ROM on my own Galaxy Nexus, I have found it to be a fantastic example of pure AOSP with the perfect mix of customizable options and system optimizations. 

With the added features ranging from custom pulldown bar features and widgets to added wallpapers, you get the sense that this won’t be the ordinary custom ROM with insane theme options or any other bloat. It’s pure and fast Android.

Instructions for installation:

1. Download the BAMF ROM zip and partnered Gapps zip files.
2. Place on your device’s storage.
3. Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
4. Create a nandroid backup.
5. Locate the ROM zip and install.
6. Locate the Gapps zip and install.
7. Wipe data/cache.
8. Reboot.

Custom ROM Friday: BAMF Paradigm for Verizon Galaxy Nexus is a post from: Droid Life

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. 

Download:  ROM | Google Apps

Instructions:

Download the ROM and Google apps files to your phone. Reboot into recovery. Make a backup. Wipe data and cache. Flash the ROM. Flash Google apps. Enjoy.
