Spent a lot of time reading these forums before I acted upon what I learned, and it payed off!
I wanted to try out a ROM, so I went with CM7, followed the FAQ in the developers section and 20 minutes later I had flashed CWR 3.x, installed build 26 of CM7, installed gapps, and was up and running. I have a nandroid of my stock build on my PC so I can always revert, and feel like a pro without actually being one. I even set up adb on my PC even though I never used it. Can't say enough about the wealth of information in these forums. While I ventured into random threads for my own amusement, all of the pertinent information was available in stickies, just as it should be. Can't thank everyone enough for their hard work and enthusiasm.

Me and you have a very similar situation, I've done all these things and I'm running CM7 build 27, I have nothing but thanks for the fine folks at XDA

ok, first i am new the forums but not new to the rooting game. I should've researched a little more before i went and jumped on the sprint deal. i just thought that the nexus s 4g had a much larger dev community. What i mean is, when i had my OGD it was the best thing that has ever happened to me, i mean it got soo much love and it was easy to modify. i moved to the DX after that and then jumped the NS4G for sprint. So here's my questions...
1)Can/is there a better radio to flash to improve data speeds other than the update?
2)can i flash some of the NS roms on my NS4G?
3)why is everything thru adb? i mean, why no zips and simple metamorphs?
4)a better comprehensive guide on how to use adb coming from where ive been. lol nowhere near using adb. i need this bad
5)any other kernels im not seeing?
6)will miui ever support 4G?
i just want to know as much as possible bc i have a lil baby girl and ive spent alot of time searching. i cant spent all day so i skim thru. please if there is any others questions that i shouldve asked please guide me in the right direction. lets get me up to speed as well as others. thanks guydes
There is plenty to flash for the ns4g.
The KE5 radio is the latest and by far the best. It came with the 2.3.5 ota.
There are plenty of kernels. Matr1x, netarchy, Trinity, Jame bond, just to name a few.
There are roms that are compatible with all versions of the nexus s. Read the rom descriptions.
I believe MIUI.us supports 4g but don't quote me on that.
The reason you see alot of ADB talk is because the Nexus s is considered a development phone. ADB is a more advanced and more reliable method. Of course you don't have to use ADB for everything. Most everything is made as zip files to be flashed from recovery like every other phone.
How old is your baby girl? I have a 9 month old so I can relate!
There are some really good guides in the development forum I suggest you read to become more familiar with the phone before you do something you regret. Good luck!

I want to run miui but my 3g is incredibly slow here. I need 4g. Are any off you guys good or familiar with adb? See i'm miss that in cyanogenmod, where you could easily go into settings and change the status bar colors and such. Now I see you have to conduct mad science routines just to change it. Hell, anyone have a very good guide to learn this stuff from.

Try this...
That should give you everything you need to root...plus links and such
I use this kernel on my stock rooted NexusS4G. The base 1 @ 1.2, tiny undervolt.
That guide is pretty helpful. I'm already rooted with deodexed stock
2.3.5 I look at that party everyday thinking it will get updated with something I haven't seen. I like the kernel to I think I might flash later after the bears game.

OK, here's a problem. Why can't u flash recovery in fastboot? I typed exactly how its spelled and its in my tools folder. I unrooted earlier today to learn adb. I'm stuck without custom recovery and su. Thoughts, I've searched for 4hours and can't find the answer.

You can flash recovery from fastboot. In fact it is the preferred method!
Make sure the recovery image is in the directory you have adb open from.

Lol Thanks for your answer but maybe you don't understand I'm running miui with stable oc and all..My question wasn't if I could download Rom in our dev section I was asking if rom manager worked with flashing on phones I would like to make something if it doesn't work on our phone .
Example.
I don't know if anyone has an Acer a500 but in the market they have a premium app called Acer recovery. That APP downloads/flashes roms, recovery files, themes, kernels, fixxes, and other needs that is what I would like to do for this device.
Sorry for the confusion.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
rom manager works just fine....even my rom is in there.
Yea I just seen that sorry I'm new to inspire but I'd like to create somthing that has those Roms plus these on xda but I'm sure id get shot down with the quickness since Rom manager seems to rule..

you can create whatever you like, it has been tried before, but the de-facto happens to be rom manager.
i would go out on a limb by saying that 85% of flashing is done via downloading the rom zip to the phone and booting into recovery. its kind of what people have been bred to do at this point. rom manager doesnt work well every time, so creating something unique would be a hard niche to snag
Yea I agree I use Rom manager only for a couple of roms back with the incredible but all ways wanted something else.. that I can grab links from the net. Id like to do an app that would do webhosting with updated regularly updated Roms, kernels, radios, themes you know how it is checking xda and Rom manager for stuff it gets tedious and would be great for a app that gives u everything with a push of the button of course is have to find help for such an app great idea ill start development as soon as I can.

Got to agree with PG. I even tell people that use certain rom's to avoid rom manager as it doesn't always work. As for another app of this sort, the hard part is getting the Dev to update it. Mainly sense you can't just add everything without asking permission from each of the dev for the rom, theme, kernel, ext.
Hi, dont know if this has been asked before, but it's there a way to somehow install another kernel (maybe overclocked) instead of the current kernel? And I like the HTC camera present in Sense ROMs instead of the camera in MIUI (my current ROM) or in Cyanogen ROMs. Can I install the HTC camera over my current one?

Just flash it in recovery like a ROM. Be sure to wipe cache and salvia prior to flashing.

The search button is yours and everyones friend. I can say never once did I started a new thread asking a question that's already been asked. Actually the only thread I've ever started was one thanking the devs and the people making guides on how to do anything with this phone. This is my 1st android and I've flashed a few ROMs and kernels in the few months Ive had it cause of the info I found here. And I've never had any problems. All the info you'll ever need(and some you dont) is on XDA. And if after a relentless search for your question leads to nothing, then by all means ask away. Not tryin to hate, just stating facts
Thanks creglenn. I can never seem to find the right section to post in. il look there.

I'm perfectly capable of running a couple different one click things, registering with certain websites, slicing throats of chickens, etc. to get a custom ROM onto my stock phone. I'm just happy enough with how the phone currently is that until custom ROMs are as easy to install as on other phones it's not worth the effort to me yet. And I know it'll happen eventually with the awesome devs we have around here.

It's perfect, no reason to upgrade. 2.6 uses the 1.85 base which I have had great luck with. 3.0 uses 1.88 which I had problems with in the past. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
