That really comes down to a matter of opinion and they are all different. Flash a few to test out and see what you like best.

the one that you like the best is the best rom ...
I was wondering the same thing... is Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4 any good?
There's only little to choose from, so I suggest to just try out each one and see which one you like the best. ICBINB KH1 is probably the best. Beats me. Anyways, good luck!

it all comes down to personal preference.
All of the rom's are great. It would be easy for each of us to tell you, but what we say wouldn't be accurate to what you look for in a rom.
I have tried nearly all of them at this point, and am currently on ICBINB KH1.

Yes? Sure there's a couple GB ROM's, but it's all just different variations of TW. That's why I suggested to try all of them to see what's best for him.

If you're new to flashing, you should just consider a Froyo ROM (Bionix Frost, Black Ice, ICBINB, Audiophile, or just deodexed stock ROMs).
The GB ROMs are definitely better, but they're also quite a bit more difficult to flash.
KH2 deodexed. It works and it is faassssttt.... just CWM version of dr honk's kg4 kernel immediately afterwards to preserve CWM. I wasn't able to enable lagfix on previous builds but this one worked like a charm.

Just a poll to see what you guys are running, I want to see if most everyone has switched to gingerbread.
I'd actually be surprised if that was the case. I'd imagine most are holding out until there's a simpler way to flash it.
I havn't had time to flash a gingerbread ROM, it is a somewhat lengthy process.

im with Modest Mandroid...its the only reason why i have flashed to GB. you always always read if you're not sure/dont know how/cant read/cant spell/cant count/cant follow instructions/feel uncomfortable and so on so forth then dont do it!
I believe i could do it, just dont wanna risk my only phone. The froyo ROMs are so simple to do and theres plenty to choose from so that will hold me over for now

Is MikeyMike working on a 2.3 based rom?
His roms are always the best, and I'd definitely hold out for his rom if one was in the works.
The one that works!
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

Which rom should I flash to my nexus? CM7 or is there a better one? I'm all about speed and flexibility.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Honestly there is no "best" rom. Some like cm7 the best, some like stock the best, some like rom xxx or yyy the best.
You will get 100 different answers if you ask 100 people. The best rom is the one that works best for YOU. Honestly what I would do is (assuming you already flashed cwm recovery) back a backup of your current setup, flash a different rom and try it out. Don't like it? Restore your backup. Try different rom/kernel combinations and see what works best for you and your phone. There is no "best" overall, just whats best for you.
Yea its best to experiment with all of the different roms and kernels then find what you like best.

I'm using Miui 1.7.1/netarchy 1.3.4 cfs and its very snappy.
I'm using MIUI 1.7.1 also but I have Netarchy 1.3.6 on mine overclocked to 1.2gh and my phone is very fast with good battery life.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
there is no best rom, its all about preference. with many roms to flash, you could try and see what works for you. to me, i got hooked on miui 1.7.1 and netarchy kernel.
the beauty about NS is you will find many roms for it, have fun with it
A good indicator is to see: "Nexus S Android Development" forum,
there are the officiale rom thread, you can see the most popular rom there (number of posts per thread).
It's not an answer but an indicator of the popularity.
Thanks to all of you for your input. Looks like i'll try Miui with the netrachy kernal. Let y'all know how it goes.

Hey guys, im .....lucky? enough to have gotten 2.3.6 on my replacement phone and upgraded wifes infuse to to 2.3.6....its horrible....looking for a stable sleek rom to go to from here. Now id love a jb rom with all the bells and whistles but reading up on it its still being mafe which i understand. But with 4 kids work and in the army times limited to flash test glash test ect. Just curious on yall veiws of the many roms i see foating around.
Currently running gb 2.3.6 official obtained from samsung kies.
Looking for a sleek, quick, stable, and eye candy is always amazing to have but gps/bt/stability is the main points. wife gets lost in the house sometimes :/ thanks and dont hit me woth a newb stick i checked before posting but on this horrible gb. Typing this has been a hassle

Many ICS roms are pretty stable and practically everything works.
I would suggest you look into uni-yuma-porn and remICS-UX .. those are my faves.
CM10 is absolutely amazing of course.. you can't beat the jelly beans
Gps works althought it causes a bit of lag when used, which would be a problem if you use it often. It's up to you really, what best fits your personal use

I don't think it matters...but don't hold me to that one issue you may have come across is rainbow recovery (discoloration or static like lines) which indicates you need GB boot loaders. But since you got official GB through Samsung Kies you should already have them (that's how I got mine)...Buuttttt!! Do you have root?

My last phone was rooted ( on froyo from super one click ) but ive been reading that doesnt work well with gb. Any tips on easy rooter?

Try the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081072
If that and superoneclick don't work for you, you may have to flash a pack through Odin that will give you root + cwm

Thanks. Could you provide links for getting the ROMS you recommend? When I go to the Cyanogen site, for example, they don't list the Infuse as a supported phone. So which one do you use to get the CM10?
Looking at the uni-yuma-porn it says to flash the Rom, then flash the GAPPS, but no clue on what GAPPS is or how to flash it.
You won't find it up in the cyanogenmod site. Our phone is not supported officially by them, but it has been developed unofficially. It works just as well as those official devices since it is build from the same repo.
All roms I mentioned are found right here on xda under infuse android development.
Gapps stands for google apps which includes the play store and many other apps such as the setup when you first boot your phone. They are often linked in every Rom that requires you flash them.

I believe the "flash gapps" is just the OP not updated. The early builds of uniporn the gapps had to be flashed separately but I believe they are included now

Just checking up on what everything is.
1. Cyanogen is an android custom firmware. -
2. aokp is an android custom rom base
3. porting simply changing the coding to fit from a similiar device to another
4. All the gb/ics/jb custom.roms.mainly run off altered and tailored versions of these 2.
5. odin used to flash and get a recovery in case of bricking.
6. clockworkmod (cwm) similar used for recovery.
So in essence from base of cyan firmware and aokp rom people make alterations and build platforms ex changing kernels, drivers, and cosmetics.
Hummm.... Believe im getting it..correct me if im wrong

Last time just tried MIUI and I can´t get the UI of ICS, Don´t remember what kind of version tired of MIUI though
Roms with aroma installers give you more options for you to customize the installation. Some frequent options are Gapps, kernels, additional apps and whatever the Chef decides to include.
