I have an evo and my ns4g and I'm just curious as to why there is such a lack of roms for nexus s 4g. There's tons of roms for evo but very few for ns4g. Dev support Is great quick to fix issues but little variety. Or is there somewhere I'm not looking because I've searched endlessly here and on Google and androidforum but I only find a couple of roms

People who make ROMs for other phones generally want an AOSP experience, which we as Nexus owners have out of the box.
What are you looking for in a ROM that your not finding exactly?
Also take a read here, as this was previously discussed:

I'm not looking for anything in particular its just nice to have an option to change the look on your phone or change this or that like I do with the evo and android kitchen

EVO has sense. Nexus does not. 75% of the roms for the EVO are sense based.

I don't see how this is related to a ROM, it's more a theme thing.

Is there a stable sense rom out for the nexus s 4g?

just download from 4shared.com yhe fancy widget...then use the htc theme
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
No, when the GSM version has a stable version so will we. The same developer is working on it for both.
Btw, this is the development forum. Its not for questions.
There isn't a Sense ROM for the nexus S 4G .. that I've heard of at least.
Here's the thread with most, if not all of the available ROMs as of now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071500
If you don't care about 4G, try out MIUI.
And use the questions and answers section, not development
edit: way beat me to it.
My bad y'all I'm new to this forum thing. I'm using miui now. Lol

I thought the point of this phone was to not have Sense...
Or Touchwiz, or whatever custom UI/framework OEMs put on their phones.
But especially Sense.

First, you break the rule by NOT looking around this forum first before you post.
Second, Nexus Sense is sleeping for 2-3 months since then, but now, it's awaking in progress Nexus Sense 0.3

Debel, enjoy your Fine Nexus with aosp roms or cm. Forget Sense. Like someone said on a similar thread "flashing Sense on a Nexus is like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa". Credit goes to the person who originally wrote that.

I like Sense, it doesn't give me bad performance, and it looks nice.
Please go somewhere else where people want to hear your bull****.
A sense ROM would probably be a refreshing change from the currently overloaded AOSP based ROMs (not complaining).
Mainly one that's based on sense 3.0. I've seen sense 3.0 ROMs in the desire forums and they look really good. It would be nice to see one for the Nexus.

Ok well I came from an E3D to get a nexus sense 3.0 isn't all its cracked up to be its just ok... a couple visual enhancements and it runs a little smoother than sense 2.1 stick with aosp or Miui it brings much more to the table

not saying it isnt. i love my nexus s. im glad i chose this over the arc. i was origanally going to get the arc on contract but then found out they has the nexus s in stock and asked for this one. i een chose this over the galaxy s2 as this is part owend by google and we should be the first to get the update if i am right. but still to trade the E3D for a nexus s is to me a little bit silly if you ask me. the E3D is an amazing phone and HTC are very good at making a fast reliable deice. Same as Samsung and LG.
I knew I would get flamed like I said on other posts

I pre ordered the evo 3d when I had my Nexus, simply put, some people like the nexus and some like the evo. And they are working on a sense 3.0 rom for the 4G atm. Though sense 3.o uses a lot of ram, I don't know how well it will work for the nexus. My girls inc2 ran sense 3.0 well but it was hella buggy...

SK4G is unsupported both by devs and Samsung. Aren't you guys still stuck with Froyo or something? Either way even if you get GB you'll never see anything past GB unless you get CM9, which is highly unlikely.
MT4G has awesome Sense ROM's, a solid MIUI ROM, and a very stable CM7 ROM with CM9 looking within weeks.

What he said
I actually traded my sk4g for a Mytouch and its completely with it. Yes a keyboard its nice but there's no development, and the Mytouch has a bigger screen and typing/swyping is a lot easier that on the sidekick screen.

Getting a Mytouch 4G for a Sidekick 4G is like getting an Audi for Kia (I don't specifically have anything against Kia, but I doubt anyone will argue that a Kia is a better car than an Audi). Don't ask questions. TRADE! Trade and run before your friend realizes their mistake.
I played with a Sidekick 4G for a few minutes and it was a joke. Minus a physical keyboard a Mytouch 4G is better in every way.

Uh wut? Nexus ICS alphas have been floating around for weeks.
The evo is always going to have more roms available at any given time, since there's a ton of devs working on that phone... And more options because of Sense.
First of all the things we have are sdk ports so they don't count. Second I would rather have a rom with half busted stuff than nothing like we do now. Wahh it sucks.

I don't think that someone has a decent working ICS right now.
But come on, don't start a ton of new threads just to aks why there's no ics. I know it's exciting but after all it's just ICS xD
And it's just a max. of 1 month waiting time 'till the ota gets out. I would go so far to say that no one of us will die from waiting
Max one month is a huge overstatement. It will be a miracle on xda street if we get an ota in a month. Mark my words.

Ok I haven't exactly found an answer for this so I'm asking. First Why do people say we won't get a fully functional ICS/JB Rom port if HTC doesn't give us ICS?
The reason I would like to know this is merely because I have a Samsung captivate, it has ICS(fully functional), and Samsung never released ICS for it. I know that its different hardware and manufacturer, but wouldn't the same concept apply to all devices?
If not please explain why the same concept doesn't apply here.
Thanks.

There are some really great ics roms out here and desirehd forum. They just have very minor issues which don't bother me at all. The issue here I noticed is that no matter what the devs give is the users will never be satified and will always complain about something whether this or that or not getting this or that. As far as I'm concerned I have a fully functional ics rom thanks to LC and Exists( hope its spell correctly)lol and a few other devs here.

It doesn't apply here because its hardware is 90% the same as the nexus s and that got ICS source a long time ago. We don't have a similar nexus device like that so it is more difficult .
