Ultimate ICS v2 and Glados Kernel 2.3, so far no problems, really smooth.
ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363765
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336529
Most likely I'll switch for Cyanogen Mod, once Beta/RC are available, though.

I am on Stock ICS4.0.3 + kernel 3.0.13 = better battery and bluetooth

ICY+S 3.1 with Galdos 2.3
Sent from my Full Android on Crespo using XDA App

NexusBeam v4.1.0 + GLaDOS V2.3

Stock ICS 4.0.3 + Kernel 3.0.13

I am on AOSP+ V1.2|ICS 4.0.3 and GlaDOS 2.4

Stock ICS with GLados 2.3 Stable as hell

PixelRom 1.01 (stock ICS) + kernel 3.1.6 by eugene373
Stable and smooth.

I am on CM9 Alfa 18 with Matr1x v13.
With GladDOS 2.4 I had a lot of reboots, 2.5 seems stable.
But with Matr1x v13 there is less battery drain.

I'm still on :
ROM : CyberGR-Mod ver4.
Kernel : Franco (8 Dec) Kernel
Really smooth & super stable Gingerbread rom with a super kernel of Franco's.
I would wait until ICS is stable enough & many customization on the UI been made.

Cm9 alpha 18 on stock kernel.. Its the best IMO. I've tried GLaDOS too but it had frequent reboots or sod.
Nexus bream will be a close second to cm9

Nexus MV 1.12.09

Fast, stable and a very good battery life.

Stock GB 2.3.7 with stock kernel.
I've tried every ICS ROM around here, including the OTA, but none of them had a good battery life. At least not like GB. I'm getting 2 - 2.5 days with moderate use.

NexusBeam 4.1.0 & GlaDOS 2.5 kernel combination works nice for me , but why this same question always Try some for your own preference, because people have different tastes!

Oics with glados.
Cm9 with matrix.
Or
BrickROM(you need to fix boot.img before flashing, which involves having to decomplie it on a computer and many other time comsouming act ivies to get it up and running. Think of BrickROM like Debian LINIX)

Deep Idle in GlaDOS 2.5 is not working correctly, you can get the 2.6 kernel now.

Still GB?
ROM : Mandaman2k ROM based on Peter Alfonso
Kernel : Matr1x

At the moment i am using Brickmakers MIUI 2.3.3 with Matr1x 16.0

I'm also using GPA 19 ... rock solid.

Now using Bugless Beast by Pete Alfonso, but I'm waiting until nexus Sense has got data! Than I probably will move to Nexus Sense! I'm running on the stock kernel, but Nexus Sense will run on Matr1x 11.5!! Bit old, but newer versions are for ICS.. Nexus Sense is on 2.3.3 at the moment... bit bad, but okay!

I've always gotten good battery life from Pete's roms. I do alot of internet stuff, as well as the normal few calls and texts during the day. I have no problem going an entire 15 hour day without hitting the charger.

Wow, that pretty good battery life. Ill be sure to give it a go. Thanks everyone for there input helped a great deal.

Cyber-GR mod v7 with Matr1x kernel 15.5. Its stable, smooth and fast (at 200-1200 mhz smartass v2). That's my main ROM & Kernel, but I'm always trying out new roms.
The new 4.0.3 MIUI roms werent impressive to me. Not smooth, and fast enough :/.

AOKP Milestone 3 with SG's 2/05 kernel. Pretty rock solid in terms of battery life and stability and overall smoothness .

Best rom for nexus s

hello
what's the best kernel?
what's the best rom ICS for this devise?
Regards

Hard to say which ROM is the best because they all have their pluses and minuses. Same can be said for kernels; each kernel will perform differently according to which ROM you choose. I'd suggest reading through the ROM ops and selecting the one you like based on features and theme. Once you've found a ROM you like, flash several different kernels to find one that is most compatible (also doesn't hurt to read kernel ops as well for feature details). This process, although a little more time consuming, will likely give you better results than relying on the objective opinion of others. Also, bedalas compiled some awesome reference guides on on rom and kernel performance that's a must read for anyone looking to get the most out of their device
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes

ok i understand your point of view
but
wicth do you recomend ?
kernel and rom ?

I prefer cm9, stock kernel.
plenty of other options though.... get experimenting is the advice, find out for yourself which one you like.

till date, CM9 with stock kernel is smoothest Rom. But it not fastest (based on benchmarking scores).

I am running nuhetri's v 3.0.1 with AirKernel (with voodoo colors), and running awesome!!

CM9 and CNA ROM + matr1x kernel
or
Bugleast Beast + Thalamus kernel

Yep. for me CM9 +trinity kernels or Bugless beast with thalamus kernel

Is this cm9 that is the best rom with matrix kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035

Running the 4.0.3 OTA on i9020a (with all the fun radio experimentation to make it work) and AirKernel 3.45. Runs beautifully.

Cm9 + matrix

AOKP / Milestone. And Air Kernel has been the best for me
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Build 28)
Air Kernel (3.45)
OC 800/100 (Lionheart)
Live OC (100 - Noop)

AOKP. Hands down.

I quite liked pixel-rom and cyberg v9 but right now im on nuhetris 3.0.1 because of the battery-life...
I also prefer matr1x kernel! It has the best performance/battery ratio imho!
But as stated before: try for yourself!
sent while eating an ice cream sandwich in the matr1x
I flash roms therefore i am!

As someone mentioned,get experimenting,because you know better than us what suits you the best.Me as flashoholic I tried many and so far for me the best is CM9 and MIUI.Atm I´m running MIUI4 with T132 muenchhausen and it is really great.In the matter of kernel I like Trinity´s T132 muenchhausen and the Matr1x kernels and CM stock ones.CM9 also comes with great kernel which is running pretty smooth.If you like to try GB rom than I would recommend CM7,MIUI 2.3.7c,Oxygen.I runned MIUI with Trinity´s 1,5GHz kernel and it was rocket..But it is on you to decide what suits you the most.Don´t worry and try it is awesome to dicover new roms Happy hunting.

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.
