I used to have an EVO4G and I tried the MIUI ROM. I wanted to like it, but it was ridiculously laggy, especially on the settings menus and such. Anyone use this as a daily driver on the Nexus S? How does it run? Trying to get some opinions before I flash it, thanks!
It will run well with no problems. I used it a while but prefer the kush deck rom.

Hey guys quick question I've been working with my brother in laws t bolt.
When you flash a radio from hboot is that like fast boot before recovery?
and since he is rooted what rom its solid and should I flash so I don't have to revisit it again I had das bamf 1.63 running but have had a few reboots and gps locking issues

Do you have the Gingerbread Radio currently or froyo. If you have Froyo I would def go with BAMF Stripped its a great rom with great battery life and none of the crappy sense. If you have Gingerbread then go with the GINGERITIS rom which has been running great for me in terms of stability and battery life and ofcourse the uber cool sense 3.0 lockscreen with shortcuts.
And for your Hboot question it is is the white screen with little androids at the bottom . It will tell you if you have S-ON S-OFF and other information such as what radio you are running.

Truthfully, ROM choice is a matter of personal preference and whatever anyone tells you here is just their opinion. All of the ROMs for TB on XDA are in the Development section, so it would do your brother-in-law justice to have him pick what he wants based on the features.
Ill recommend Liquid Gingersense. I used Liquids ROM's throughout the year/s with my Original Droid 1 and they were fantastic and Ive stuck with them ever since. Always very fast and stable and usually its updated quite frequently.
Go for the sense 3 preview from Adrynalene. This thing has the best eye candy I have ever seen. If you are looking for something speedy, any of the stripped ROM's would work or CM.
Try them all

this s on or off in hboot screen is that a seting I need to adj?
Once you have permanent root you should have s-off. I if he suffers from random reboots I suggest he run the stock radio the device was shipped with. I have the stock radio and have never had reboot problems. I've tried both das bamf and CM7.

Started out w Chingeys Perfect Storm. If you want to stay froyo, Stay with V1.4. Or today I switched to DroidTh3ory 3.5.1 if you want to try GingerBread!
Both smooth and solid choices

Hi has anyone flash the new galnet rom yet. Is it stable and usable as a daily rom. I only have the one phone and need it so only want to flash when I know its stable and most if not all of it works.
sent from my armchair with my feet up
Yes. I've made a little review on it in THIS topic. It should be better if you make use of the search function on this forum, there are about 3 topics with this subject.
P.S. There's also a stable version of this ROM starting from today.
Flashed it been testing for a while, all seems good no issues as of yet. Great MIUI rom with ICS framework.
have they fix the call delay issue on stable release?
Still there but I don't know if its just me but it seems better. Where before it would be a few seconds it now seems to be a second or less sometimes I don't even notice it. Been experiencing a lot of fcing with this build though so gone back to 1.11.25 miui.us for now.
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
What changes does the ICS framework bring ?
Not entirely sure I think its to do with memory management. Visually its very similar other than this is a galnet version where as I was used to miui.us. but there are some force close issues enough to irritate me so I gone back to 1.11.25
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Been testingthis rom for a little while now and I must say its brilliant. Has all the miui trimmings but just seems better. My battery seems to last about 30% longer and its quick. Still getting some force closes in the market but it seems to be settling in (if a program can do that). The haptic feedback is really feeble so turned it off but other than that its great, love the ics keyboard too.
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
30%?? wow!! that's a lot for battery life. Is it with data on (3G)?
No I don't I never use mobile data I'm far to tight to pay for it . I do read a fair bit on it and listen to music for a few hours most days and a fair bit of browsing (mostly on xda). On the old miui.us I'd have about 15% battery left at the end of the night with galnet ics its about 40-50%.
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
I think I wait for MIUI 4.0 official release
For me I had to keep setting my signal up
Sent from my DesireS using xda premium
That's explain why i only got max battery life for 24 hour with data 3G always on. Lol....
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
just read some post on galnet miui ics stable version that they have battery drain with data on. so i'll wait for miui stable release then. i heard it is ics....yummy....
Sent from my DesireS using xda premium
By the way...how is it exactly you managed to flash this rom as i'm stuck on bootloop each time?
Flashed this from a previous miui rom. Try installing the latest rom from miui.us then flash this one worked for me
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Already tried that but still stuck on bootloop. No idea why that happen as i can flash other rom very well using the same method.
Sent from my DesireS using xda premium
Do you wipe cache and dalvik cache before you flash.
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Yup. Done that.
Sent from my DesireS using xda premium
Flash galnet weekly, clear cache and dalvik cache, then flash galnet ics.
I was wondering this because I just installed the alpha 20 ics CM9 rom. I'm tired of flashing lol I want a nice stable no lag one.

YOU would know best whats stable enough and lag free enough for YOU. im just quite the opposite. 3 weeks or so ago, i flashed the stock/rooted version of 4.0.3 ics. it was stable, fast, everything worked. i thought i was happy with it and stopped my daily flashing. last night i went back to crackflashing, cm9 kangs. the stock rom was apparently too stable for me. and it wasnt just because of withdrawal from crackflashing. i went back to daily crackflashing because it has become a lifestyle
Lmfao hey like your reply I'd the story of my life. Btw how good is the kang one. I personally think that asop is the best but I need better

the kangs/cm9 are getting better and better every day, almost. i left cm9 because the launcher was starting to bug me, it reloaded way too often. cm9 might have had a memory issue then. but, 2 days and 2 kangs later, not a single issue here. everything works just as it should. and its extremely quick and responsive, even with the trinity teuv undervolted/underclocked(880mhz) kernel that im using(but its gpu is overclocked).
So you would say that the kangs is better? If so, I'm gonna keep this cm9 and then flash in maybe two days.

its not that they are better, its that they are compiled on a daily basis. so they are the latest, and include the latest fixes right away.
Well yeah that makes more sense. Looks like I'll be flashing a lot with this cm9. Thank God for titanium backup pro. Thanks for the responses .

I wouldn't say you should COMPLETELY trust the CM9 ROM over all. If I were you I'd run some more tests on which you like the most at the moment and stick to it, until CM9 is finally complete. I'm using an AOSP+ Neapolitan flavor build, it is incredibly smooth I recommend that. I know as soon as CM9 is finished I'm hopping onto that ROM in a heart beat though
Hey thanks. Do you have a link for that build you mentioned

I spent the enitre day today flashing and reflashing...
guess what i finally ended up going back to stock ICS and matrix kernel..
Try other ROMs out. See what fits you.

Aosp+ rom and matr1x v14.0 kernel is the perfect combination for me.
Fast, stable and cm9 style power menu and nstools is built in to the settings menu.
Couldn't be happier.
Yeah asop is pretty damn nice. But the launcher goes blank for mr a lot.

I'm currently on the Bugless Beast ROM, and it is very stable and pretty much like the name says without bugs, I have yet to have a problem with it.
However I have been thinking of going to MIUI, but I don't know how stable and/or fast it would be compared to my current ROM.
So what is your opinion?
Anyone know?
Almost-stable but..
Too low available memory and low speed makes me use CM9.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
MIUI is not as stable as the ics roms. I sometimes get lag such as the MIUI locker. There is still lots of bug. But it is stable enough for daily use.
But the recent update makes the contacts in small photos. So i switch back to codename android rom.
You can give it a try.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Thanks, I guess I'll just say with BB, I like ROMs fast and as stable as possible.
Although, according to the ICS ROM Benchmarks Nexus S List, there are two MIUI ROMs in the top five. Catalyst MIUI, one of my favorite ROMs, is a bit laggy. Perhaps, because it has Force GPU Rendering and Keep Launcher in Memory checked but then again I haven't tried it with those settings unchecked.
I would give it a try. It is really a beautiful ROM (something different).

I also love MIUI due to its interface
MIUI is still in early development, so the MIUI team does not optimize the rom so much.
That's why MIUI has sudden lag and is buggy.

You could try MIUIXperience! It's a great option for MIUI with several tweaks and themes. Awesome ROM with great battery life and performance.

Currently on 9.1 fresh install, it's okay but bat drain is heavy with barely any app usage..

I've tring some diferent ROMs (all with JB) and I decide to use codename (3.4.1) with marmite (v4.4).
I think that this combo gets very well with battery and it goes fast and smooth. Also, I think that codename is very stable and it has a lot of options to personalize your phone.
I'm running androxide with marmite v.4.5. Great battery life and volume rocker wake was key for me to prevent the broken power button.

What could be better than stock? Seriously. Unless you're looking for more customizable Rom, you won't find better Rom than stock
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Try having air kernel 4,4 on that cm9.1. You just won't regret
