In your opinion what's the best ROM for nexus s and why?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Right now Oxygen 2.3.2 Workds great for me. But CM7 and NSCollab are also 2 very great Roms. In the end you have to test yourself which Rom fits you best..
for whatever reason, anything CM-based has always run clunky for me on this phone. bugless beast is good, but imo oxygen is your best bet.
i run carbon co2 1.1, which actually runs a lot smoother for me than oxygen despite it just being a themed oxygen mod.
there is no best , everyone has his/her own damands and needs
also , every ROM has its own good point and weak point , all depends on what you want
-------------
for the moment , i like MIUI brainmaster , good UI although kills my battery very fast but i have additional one , so i wouldn't worry about it

Have you tried Trinity TEUV kernel?
I use and recommend Oxygen 2.3.2 with latest SG-11UV kernel. Stable, great battery life (with 200-1100 lazy) and 4600+ Quadrant score fast @ the available 1320MHz

I prefer stock rooted with a BLN-supported kernel (using Peter Alfonso's).

well , no completely , i had almost every kernel in dev section flashed and used about a day or so , can't really tell how much good or bad were them during that short of time .
talon , franco , netarchy, lucid , matr1x , trinity , peter alfonso ...etc

Peter's and Trinity are your best bet with battery life and performance =] you should try another ROM
as for me i run smoothly on a CM kang + THERMITE
thanks for advice, I was using stock with talon kernel, battery was pretty good,but since I brought second battery so i no longer worry about it
Hi There,
Generally there's no "Best Rom"... every rom has its pro & cons as well as its own features ... I suggest you to try a couple of them mentioned on this thread, all of them are really valid, result of great work of many and skilled developers.
To me, KelLMSKing MIUI 2.6.2 ( http://goo.gl/oMIiE ) runs really fast on my phone more then CM7.1 with which I had many problems.
The latest Oxygen release to me is the best. Very fast. Rock solid stable. Great battery life.
It dies nit add anything fancy, just keeps the look and feel of stock.

Yesterday I decided to give oxygen another look and to me it takes too many things out of stock. You can't hold press to change the wall papers, the phone icon in the launcher is not as nice looking as stock, the music app is out dated and it won't update to the new one you have to just have 2 music apps and there was a few other things that bugged me also but those were the top 3 I can think of.

Cm7 runs great for me!
I would prefer Oxygen, with the latest GLaDOS kernel. Best combination for me.

Pete's Bugless Beast Gpa19. Why? It's really bugless and beastly.
Works well with his kernal or Matrix.

Hi guys I have gone from one ROM to another all professing to be the smoothest or most stable but all have left some what of a bitter taste in my mouth. My current ROM seems to be the most stable and have all the basic modcons working AndroidHD v1.0 | ICS
So I’m on a UK I9020 and I’m like preferably ICS over GB and main important points to consider for me would be
Battery Life, Stable, and Fast,
I am a bit of a power user but the ROM don’t have to have to many mods or sparkles just need something that doesn’t reboot at least twice a day and gives me battery life for 12 hours plus with fair use of apps and internet.
Please help at the end of my tether
yeah i'm in the same spot...i have been trying some ics roms and many claim "fast & stable & rock solid & butter smooth" etc
But they dont feel that way to me...i really like ics but i think its still slowish. GB is way faster.
Currently on codenameandroid 1.2.0 with matr1x 15.5 cfs
Come on guys don't all hide now lol, need your applied knowledge. Some one must have some thing they can recommend
try AndroidMe 1.1.0 not a single issue for me ,when on others ics roms i had fcs and reboots.
battery life around 16h with 3h of 3g and 3h screen on with brightness set at 68%.
CM 9 1.1 has been stable and brutally fast, better than stock IMHO. Only thing missing is FB sync.

Only thing thats kept me from CM roms is the worry that apps wont work with them, what sort of uptime do you get?
kangy v10 or AOKP milestone 3, damn good , with Matr1x kernel.
smooth , stable , battery friendly
im using the last cm9 kang with a bare boned(no mods added) trinity kernel, not a single stutter or speed bumbs. fast, stable, and everything works.
Now I'm using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS, well, as far as I can tell, it is quite stable and battery is not draining so fast.
Try some roms with AOSP tags, these roms have less modifications and mods, and maybe have a better better performance.

just tried a few roms. sorry to say that the stock rom is the best, so far.
Stock is stable, but a bit slow. but the slow problem is same in other custom roms.
I don't have the problem of battery drain.
Downloading 4.0.4 rom ported from NS4G. Hope it fix the speed problem.
Don't want to use 2.3 anymore, though 2.3 is fast and stable
I tried these custom roms -
Mv 2.1.27, 2.1.28(cm9) lots of added features, but less stable than stock
Miui - although I am a Chinese, don't like this Chinese rom.
Slow. Don't know the cause. Rom still in alpha? Or wasting CPU power on beautiful ui?
Unfamiliar ui Is another problem. Not my cup of coffee

No reboots on stock kernel and CPU speed. Overall, I've found all ICS ROMs to be moe robust than gimgerbread, with very little issues.
Hey guys, so I've been using an old version of OOdie Prime's MIUI for almost a year now. It is version 2.1.20 V2 and the kernel is a 3.1.10-ICUP. The only reason I haven't upgraded is because I ended up uploading too many files at once and I became too lazy to backup and try something else. The note came along and I was going to buy one initially but came to my senses that $900 is better spent elsewhere. So instead I've decided to upgrade my ROM and kernel lol.
I'm a big fan of MIUI. My favourite features are the easy drop slide down menu bar, and the fact that if somebody texts you or google chats you, that bar automatically slides down and you can respond immediately. I like that.
That might be standard in other ROMs now but if I had to pick an MIUI rom based on those features plus battery life, stability and performance what would you recommend? The only thing I don't like about this one is the browser crashes frequently if I'm viewing some sort of video through it. Maybe it's because I sent the underclock to low? I don't know (And I forget how to adjust it anyway).
Gingerbread or Jellybean for sure.
Edit: And to adjust your underclock and overclock, download "No frills CPU" You can change it to whatever you like.
And I would choose Jellybean MIUI over Gingerbread. My opinion.
If your not into gaming then you can run the jb builds but i have noticed that from ICS onward gaming performance suffers!
Loved the gb miui, ics and jb seems too laggish to me (and i dont want to overclock much) :/

Hello,
my Question: Is Someone using MIUI JB on DS? How about the battery life, stabilty and speed?
Sorry for my bad english
Hey!
I have used MIUI JB rom for a week! it's absolutly a very fast rom!
But i had the following issues:
Camera works 100% only on first boot some problems but after using it more than 3 times the issue is gone!
The battery life is terrible.after 8-9 hours sleep the battery drains about 25%! And on normal use it drains after like 2 - 3 hours!
3D games lag sometimes here and there! Temple run works fine and smooth!
And the best about this rom it's stunning fast! i compared the boottime between the iphone 4s (dual core) vs Htc desire s (one core)
Desire s was about 1 second slower. and against the iphone 4 12 seconds faster boot time!
I think you should try the rom first! maybe it works better on you're device if you'r lucky !
Actually the battery life is the most important for me
Which version do you use?

I use ICE DS v.6.0 Rom. It's a stock Htc Sense 3.6 with android version 4.0.4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715
The rom is very Stable! i never had issues with this rom!
Battery is very good! i don't know how much it drains by night!
But after 7 hours studying in school! i looked at my phone and it just drained 4% . didn't use it!
But if you use it the battery drains pretty slow . It has actually a great battery life!
Gaming performance is good! i tested today the new Need For Speed Most Wanted. and it was Lag Free!
No camera issues! It's a very good rom voor daily usage/gaming/long battery life!
No Bugs/Freezes found so far!
This is probably the best rom i have and found so far!
I hope i gave you some good information!
And by the way sorry for my bad english
Don't Forget the thanks button!

are u sure about this??
i have used it for close to a month, but i wasnt very happy with it, though boot times are faster than stock, i found that it has its share of hiccups, i didnt like how the camera functioned, there was a bluish tinge to the photographs, some apps had a lot of lag and games particularly werent very smooth. also the gps didnt work at all so couldnt use the maps, which for me was a big let down as i use maps a lot. i think flashing a custom rom is overrated, unless u r a developer i think its pointless, i am happier with sense 3.6 and ics 4.03 stock rom of htc
the only reason i would ever root my phone again would be if i could find a pure stock android experience otherwise i wouldnt.

Pure stock android? You mean like cyanogenmod, aokp etc.? I'm running flinny's (andromadus) latest CM10 build, and find it extremely stable and far faster than anything with sense. And it's fully working, now the front cam is fixed.
i tried cm7.2 stable build and didnt really like it... cm9 and cm10 for desire s not available as yet, and i dont want to flash a nightly or experimental rom, im not a developer, im a noob,

Which rom offers the best battery lifetime for you? Speed is not the most important for me, I only play plague inc. sometimes. I only want a rom for daily use

I think the best rom that have good battery life is based on usage and configure of owner. I set some cpu governor, limited use 3G and have a battery life about 2 days.
ah, my rom is JellyTime.
I tried official MIUI V4 2.11.5 (ICS) i guess from the miui.com but got force close after installation. The site told that i need to S-OFF my phone is that true?
Unless you think that they are likely to be lying just for the fun of it, it is always best to follow any Devs guidelines when it comes to installing ROMs.
The problem is. I'm already at hboot 2.2x lolz and I don't know how exactly to downgrade and s-off. I read some thread that told me to downgrade using RUU. But dunno it will work or no. Also my device ia S510e Is that any difference with common desire s?

Hi there,
What is the Most Stable Nexus 5 Nougat (Android 7) Custom ROM?
I try to read the latest post messages, but I don't know.
Thanks
Hey
I've been using Nitrogen OS for the past two months and can tell you that it's a stable ROM.
I've been using Fake Nexus for a while now after going through a few of the available Nougat roms and it's my favourite so far. Comes with Google apps pre-installed plus the new Pixel Launcher, the installation method is similar to flashing a stock image instead of a custom ROM as a zip and an upgrade from Android 6.0.1 worked for me without losing my data, like upgrading a nexus 5x from Android 6.0.1 to Android 7.0.
Also after experimenting a bit and getting the kernel settings right (I am using the blu.spark kernel) I got Multirom working correctly and I have CM13 and NetHunter as secondary roms, fully functional with their own kernels.
I'm pretty sure all the Android 7.0 roms use the same AOSP repo for the main build and only a small handful of customisations. It's a mater of personal preference really, all roms I tested seemed equally stable and had the same bugs (camera video issue etc). I chose Fake Nexus because it's the closest to a factory image and the only one I got working with Multirom side by side with android 6.
My advice, if your Nexus 5 is your daily driver don't use an android 7 rom as your primary rom, the video recording bug alone can be a pain.
Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback.
The video recording bug is still present in all rom ?
What settings did you use for Blu spark
Try Pure Nexus
As far as I know the Camera bug is there for all ROMS when using the stock Google Camera app. A few ROMS claim that using a different app works but personally I haven't tested them. My nexus 5 is not my main device (I have a 5x as well) so I don't use it's camera that much. Also I believe the original android 7 port came from Santhosh M as found on this rom here so if he manages to resolve this then it will be implemented in all other ROMS.
About the blu.spark kernel I installed with all default choices through the Aroma installer except the addition of DT2W. I'm also using kernel adiutor for in-ROM customisations but so far I didn't need to change anything from the defaults.
I was thinking about installing Pure Nexus as well but now that I finally have all 3 ROMS I wanted working I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up. When I added Miui from this thread it messed up all secondary ROMS. I could boot into the main ROM which for me is Android 7.0 but all secondary ROMs would get stuck on the google screen and after about a minute the phone would reboot and go straight into recovery. I think it had something to do with the Miui kernel but I never actually managed to figure it out.
So it's October 23rd, is the video and Camera bug still present on all ROMs?
I use this https://plus.google.com/109509643115521921407/posts/1R42n7pzfbP
It may look sketchy because it's not on XDA but I've been using it and believe me, everything works including Google Camera's video recording.
Previously I was on Nitrogen OS and I loved it because of the OTA updates but I don't like to have to find workarounds for my camera needs.
I've tested most of Nougat ROMs for N5:
Santosh, FakeNexus, PureNexus, NitrogenOS, BOKROM and itigr.
The only real daily driver as of today, Oct 23th is FakeNexus.
The others are good, lots of customization, but too many bugs here and there.
FakeNexus is stable, very battery friendly (some of the list above had battery drain issues) and is the easiest to install and configure, but lacks the customizations of the others.
Nitrogen is the one if you want a ROM with many features with that stock feeling, customization options are integrated on Android configuration menu.
PureNexus also has lots of customization, but on a different approach, it's more like AOSP and customization features are on their app.
Fake Nexus all the way. I used it for 1 day it is very stable rom. NO FC, noticeable lags, etc.
But I need to go back to MM stock because of the battery. Battery drain too fast average use only can hold for 5-6 hours.

I've tried most of these ROMs on my phone and have settled on Fake Nexus. It is very similar to what the Google Pixel set up is and I just love it. I've found it to be very stable on my phone.

I haven't noticed the battery drain on the Fake Nexus ROM at all. In fact, I'm staying with the Nougat ROM because it doesn't have the battery drain that I was experiencing on any of the Marshmallow ones.

hmm odd. some ppl on fake nexus thread say the same (battery drain). maybe not all experiencing it. will try again when have free time :laugh:
I agree with the Fake Nexus is the most stable one. I do get 3:45min SOT most of the time from 100% down to 1%. I only get 3->3:15 SOT on stock marshmallow. The phone is aggressively used for online gaming via Data using VPN lol
What about the Octo N ROM? So far I've found it to be really good for me with the elemental x kernel, battery life is great, I love my customization options and the ROM is smooth, I typically use lower CPU frequencies max is like 1574 so I don't worry too much about my phone dying. Here's some screenshots of my setup. I'd like to try the fake ROM tho, it's getting really good reviews and I like that.

Fake Nexus doesn't have root option and if you love customization, you will be out of luck.
how about Euclidean OS?
and which roms is odex?
I was just on Fake Nexus, loved the Stock Google feel with all the Pixel gimmicks, but I just went back to Pure Nexus as I love some customization options and want to use Substratum.. Can't stand all the white ui on 7.1 and substratum wasn't working on it yet
