Currently running MIUI 1.99 with Matr1x #5 kernel. Looking to flash a new ROM and/or kernel as it's been awhile. There's so many of each that I don't know where to start. My main priorities are stability and speed.
The only other ROM I've used is Cyanogenmod but I had a lot of issues with random reboots. Have these issues gotten better?
Any ROM suggestions? Thanks
Rooted stock with Matr1x. I recently switched back after months on CM7 doing the nightly flash routine. Don't miss it a single bit.

I don't even remember what the stock rom is like. I got cyanogen almost inmediately after getting my phone. Perhaps I'll try stock... what's the best way to go about doing this? Do i need to unroot my phone?

backup apps with titanium backup + factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik) + flash stock rom.
here you can find a great collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
you DO loose root by flashing a stock rom, but you just have to re-flash superuser (and maybe cwm if needed). I find the stock gingerbread rom very fast and reliable.
Plus, you'll receive the ICS ota when it's ready
(but you'll need to flash the stock recovery)
Wait another 2-3 weeks and flash ice cream sandwich.

Flash deck 1.3. Really fast stable and great battery life. Its just like stock rom with a few extra tweaks. Has some of cm7 mods without the bloat. Has toggle switches on the drop down and some status bar tweaks but very stable and like I said its close to stock. Running it with matrix 9.0. Give it try.

Sorry man its in the nexus s 4g dev section but i cant find it on the GSM dev section. You can always try oxygen rom which is very similar to deck which I was running before I flashed deck. Has the same kind of tweaks more or less. Was also a really good rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285243
give carbon a shot. it's based on oxygen but gives better performance than any rom i've used since getting this phone

Nexus mv paired with franco kernel
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I'd suggest NSCollab and a trinity kernel. This combo worked well for me but I caught the flashing bug since getting this Nexus S and now I'm off to try Nexus MV.
you should try superosr rom (AOSP), very fast and include CM settings as well
I've been trying all NS Roms, and I'll prefer NSCollab because,
-Fast and stable (Near 5000 in quadrant)
-Never had a random reboot
-Extremely stable at 1,2GHz
-Probably the best CM7-based ROM
I don't give a opinion about which kernel u need to use, because they are all awesome, for the highest score in Quadrant, use the Trinity TUV kernel.
But I like the Netarchy or Matr1x kernel more because they are more stable in my eyes. I hope this will give you some more information
U can also wait for ICS (IceCream Sandwich), it will be awesome too.
I'd suggest stock rom + stock kernel.
lower quadrant score but higher performance
Oxygen 2.3 with Matr1x
4097 quadrant at 1,3Ghz.
*UPDATE*
Try the Franco.Kernel, tested it, very stable and high performance.
Greets.
Matr1x all the way bud lmao

There is no other room more stable than stock.
I have used 1.2 kernels and different roms and the only place that you can see a difference is on Quadrant test, in real life use I don't notice a damn difference from stock speed.
My friend have Bionix 1.2 on his NS and his phone is more faster then my NS
MoDaCo gets the best battery life, the bionix 1.3 beta isn't too stable and to be honest 1.2 isn't my cup of tea, cyanogenmod is in nightlies still but its very stable and its what both my wife and I run, plus there are a few others I haven't tried. For kernels I definitely recommend netarchy 1.2.1 as it has the amazing voodoo sound mod plus its the most stable I've used. Just my two cents.

netarchy 1.2.1 + stock rom works pretty good IMO

Using Bionix 1.3 Beta and also Netarchy 1.2.2
Battery life is better than stock. Unless clearing battery statsstats in cwm make such a massive difference.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I would recommend bionix 1.2 or the 1.3 beta release. I was on 1.2 and its fantastic...really fast and stable. Updated to 1.3 beta with no problems.
Ive tried cyanogen and modacco...both good also but i prefer bionix for now. They all seem well stable and fast tho.

whats the best combo for rom and kernal for the g2x.
im about to install the eagleblood 2.3.3bg (since it has the stock camera) and was looking for a kernal so i could oc it. thanks for the help
also whats best 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 or 2.3.5????
For the most part, rom choice is going to come down to personal preference. As for kernels, faux's is pretty popular. Personally, I'm running eagleblood 2.3.3 and stock kernel.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I am running Triggers 2.3.5 with Fauxs 0.3.5-sv OC to 1.4Ghz and it is awesome. No reboots or issues at all.
There is no kernel made for the ota (2.3.3) roms only 2.2.2 froyo, 2.3.5 cm, eb2.3.5 so basically any rom that is based off the new 2.3.3 ota will not have a oc kernel for it yet LG didn't release source, and best rom kernel combo is definitely cm, and fauxs latest or morfics it a toss up, but honestly the newest nightly runs so nice u wont need one and it has voodoo built in and boot up time is super quick, idk IMO oc kernels are not needed with this phone it is already sick quick I get 3100 quadrant with cm stock kernel, now if u want to save battery life grab a UV kernel
blondie or brunette?? LOL its all up to ur taste for roms and kernels! Im having a great time using the rom and kernel on my sig! But all depends on you and your phone... (some phones dont like oc/uv), the only way to know is to flash, flash flash and flash (watch out not to become a flashaholic...)
Any rooted 2.3.3 ROM, with the Stock Kernel, and LG Camera App.

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

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.

Hi everyone! I've one of the first ROM came out after the releasing of the kernel for our phone, it's not bad but sometimes seems slow (especially typing).
I was looking for something very fast and stable, I don't care so much about customization or overclocking.
Do you think I should think of came back to stock? Which rom do you suggest?
Thanks for any help!
at this moment , i suggest you KANGY-V8 by HAKA and mathkid95's Matr1x 15.0 CFS with Weathley + SIO , everything's good
Thanks! I'll give them a shot!
Stock gingerbread
I was actually looking for something similar myself(in terms of stability), but i actually do want a little more customizations and tweaks, i was going to try
CyberGR-MOD, would that be a good choice?

probably not , becuase i was using it before
it's good , but however , there some MOD like "search key for recent apps" and some themes from theme section , weren't able to be applied in that ROM ...
if you wanted these MOD, you have to do it yourself ...

Thanks, one last question though, when you were using it was it stable?
I have been using Codename Android Rom(used to be AOSP+)
I must say it one of the best Roms I have tried. I suggest everyone to try it.
I just registered at XDA but I have been following the Scene for a while. I have using this rom for more than a month. I was on nexus beam but its not as fast and stable as Codename android.
this Rom is great because:
1-Great stability
2-no reboots whatsoever
3-very smooth and fast(including typing) I used to have sluggish keyboard on other roms, not this one.
4-Great Battery life
5-AOSP so its built from scrach so its clean and has nice simple mods and tweaks
Check it out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463437
I also suggest using Eugenes speedy Kernel
