[Q] What's your favourite ICS ROM?

Hello NS community! I exchanged my Desire for my fiancee's NS and now I'm flash happy.
I intentionally did not ask what the BEST ROM was to avoid a flame war, so please share what you find to be your FAVOURITE ICS flavour.
Until now I tried CyberGR-MOD v1 but it was very unstable for me so I was unimpressed. Next up on the flash list are CM9 Alpha 18 and Peter Alfonso's ROM.
Suggestions?

Peter Alfonso ICS

Thanks, for now I'm running CM9 Alpha18 and seems to be quite stable.

I just flashed bixies' ROM last night and it seems to be very stable so far.
IMO, the real fun with Nexus S is the kernel, we have many great kernels for you to play with

Do tell!
Currently I'm using Matr1x-cfs_v14.0Matr1x-cfs_v14.0. OCed at 1460 and no FCs, no reboots, no freezes, just buttery smooth performance.
Slightly off-topic, but I have to say I'm terribly impressed withe the Nexus S - it's a very powerful device.

I've read good things about that ROM and I'll be sure to flash that next, if CM9 disappoints.

It has been feeling very smooth, at least in the few hours I've used it. We'll see how it goes.

AOSP+ and Matrix 14 cfs gives me a great combination of performance and battery life. I tried ICUP too and it gives great performance but battery life is better with Matrix.

So is CM9 smooth and stable enough to be used as my everyday ROM? Also, are there any posts or wikis about all the different kernels, guides on flashing and their pros and cons? My last dev device was a Blade and there weren't nearly as many different kernels and options available for that. Oh, and does CM9 come with a kernel..I don't need to flash anything else?

Yes CM9 comes with it's own kernel. It's a mod on the 3.0.8 kernel. CM9 been running on my phone for 6 days now without a single reboot and FC.

What I normally do is:
* do a full wipe (system, data, cache) if you are flashing a different ROM
* flash ROM first, reboot to make sure it runs properly
* flash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache (or also cache, just in case)
Always flash a ROM that says it supports your phone model. Also make sure that if you're using ICS ROM then flash an ICS kernel. On the other hand, if you're using GB ROM then flash a GB kernel.

[Q][KERNEL] Best compromise between stability and performance

Which kernel i have to choose? I tried a lot of them but now I'm a little bit confused
The only features I really need is BLD and Voodoo Sound, I don't need overcklock... which one do you recommend? Thanks in advance
PS I use MIUI if it matters

it means that your phone cant handle the 1.44ghz cpu oc and 240mhz(20%) bus/gpu oc. not many phones can. every phone is different. some can oc high, some not so high, and some not at all. unfortunately, even though its the same phone, they can vary widely in performance.

aokp + matr1x

+1 derek.
AOKP build33 with Matr1x

AOKP B32 with air kernel. Runs quite nice. Although battery lasts only about 12h. On b31 with matr1x kernel I reached 15+h on my i9023 but it got unstable due to liveoc.
I like aokp a lot, but I am not sure about which is the best kernel. I think with the next milestone I will do a systematical test series.

[Q] Kernel in AOKP

Hi everyone,I have a sensation xe.
I flash the Bricked's kernel, because the sweep2wake is very cool.But after i flash the kernels into AOKP, everything goes well expect the wifi.I also try RCMix's kernel, and faux's kernel, but same the result.
How could i use the phone without wifi!
I need to flash a kernel for AOKP with a feature like sweep2wake, and the wifi should be work.Can someone help me?
English is not very well, but i try my best to write these

I believe Faux has an AOSP kernel. The ones you tried are Sense based, which is the problem.

I know Faux put Sweep2Wake in his Sense versions. I am spoiled with it as well, you might shoot him a message or post in the thread and ask if a future release for AOSP will have Sweep2Wake.

suggestion, I'm on aokp since build 32...don't use custom kernels, is better with the stock one...more stable...I use it at 1ghz and is ****in' great! no lags at all, even gaming
there is no sweep2wake kernel for aosp at the moment, just wait

There is no "best" kernel because whats best for you might not be best for someone else, its subjective.
Just try a kernel, use it for a few days, if you like it, stick with it else flash a different one

I had the best result with the Sebastian's kernel, but it does not support to sweep2wake to I using Faux 008b8.

I like using bricked kernel. I did have sebastianfm which is also a good choice

When I was using Sebastian kernel, it made my phone very hot when charging it. I have bricked set to on-demand
