[Q] Which Android version you use ? Post it here - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now that ICS is officially out, which android version you use with your nexus s device ?

i got ICS stock, with stock kernel...running fine, not like ginger but good enough for daily use

Manually upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 from GB 2.3.6 . Only battery issue so far and another thing, there is a strange lag when pressing call button from contacts app - sometimes it takes up to 7-8 seconds before call starts.

Nexus S (I9023) ICS 4.0.3 (CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 18 + Matr1x v13)

I'm using Stock ICS 4.0.3 and Stock Kernel... don't really like custom rooms filled with stuff i don't use and custom launchers that most of the times get laggy ...
In the future i might change to MIUI 4.

ICS 4.0.3 completely stock and unrooted.
A little laggy at times and battery life isn't quite as good as it was with GB but, browser aside which is ****, reasonably happy with it.

No official ICS for NS4G, so back and fourth between oICS and cm7 nightly.

Considering the Nexus S shipped with Gingerbread... that's quite a feat.

not official OTA for my 9020a, but running near stock with kustom kream rom. love it. runs pretty smooth for me

Running on stock ICS with eugene373's Kernel 3.x

Stock ICS 4.0.3, GlaDOS v2.5 ;-)

Stock GB 2.3.6 !!

Sph33r 4.0.3 with GLaDOS 2.5 kernel.

Oh so no one uses Froyo on their Nexus S?

Stock ICS, Stock kernel.
Actually reading negative reviews about ICS surprising me, on my device it is very smooth no lags at all, battery life is excellent it is lasting for 19 hours at least with normal use and 3g is always on.
my device is I9020T.

Stock, rooted 2.3.7
Every ICS ROM I've tried has problems. Either crashes, battery life issues, or other annoyances that drive me insane enough to not want to use ICS yet.
Right now I'm in Android heaven with 2.3.7 and ADW EX. Always smooth as butter and ZERO problems.

CM9 kang by @gearheadbread on Twitter. His builds are really nice.

Stock 4.0.3 unrooted.
I am extremely happy with ICS and have not had any problems with it. Don't think I would ever go back to gingerbread.

[Q] Would you be able to use the stock ICS ROM on the Sensation

Would it be possible to use the to use the stock ICS ROM on the Sensation?
Just plain ICS like on the Galaxy Nexus...
Just noob question but I do like the look of my friends Nexus.
Virtuous Quattro is the closest you'll get right now.
Ah okay thank you

ICS Rom for the Sensation 4G
Virtuous Quattro is a great ICS rom for the Sensation but i like OnceICS. It is in version 1.0.7z and it is running Android 4.0.3. The only issues i have is WiFi calling and I have had 1 random reboot.
does any of them support custom kernels yet
On all of the different ICS roms that I have looked at, SebastionFM's kernel is the only hacked kernel that is mentioned. However, it seems to have stability issues, especially on the 4.0.3 builds. So, it is pretty much recommended to keep the kernel stock.
Plus, they run pretty good stock anyways. At least insertCoin does, which is what I have used 98% of the time so far.
Hope I helped
Thank you to all who helped!

pure ics rom

guys!!!! i recently flashed the virtuous quattro alpha3 rom and i absolutely lkoved it...at frist. The camera went all dim and bnarely worked, the wifi was appauling. It said on their xda page that i should install a kernel, i did and then it didnt even let me turn wifi on after that. CAN anybody please tell me an equally good stable ics pure AOSP rom for htc sensation z710e and give me a link? You will be thanked
check out LorD ClockaN's ICS rom. It's ICS but it's based off of Cyanogen. I currently have this flashed and it's really stable. There are problems with Bluetooth and the Camera (which does work. best to install an aftermarket camera app though) but overall, I like it. Before this, I previously had RCMix3d Runny 4.0 flashed and now I WILL NOT go back.

Most stock ... but not quite stock. o.o
Well how about BrainMaster's Stock ICS with his tweaks?

I REALLY enjoyed my Stock ICS + Flavours of ICS + Demo's Framework Fix + Extended Controls. However, Slim is, somehow, even better. If you want stock, go for stock. If you want a quick, feature-rich ROM that acts and looks like stock, practically everything in the dev forum is good

Is GB faster than ICS on Desire S?

Hi guys,
I tried many ICS roms some sense and other non-sense still all are laggy and no ICS rom is comparable with GB roms especially MIUI.GB .. is that true or I'm missing something here? Is it kernel source for Desire S? I don't think so as Virtuous Saga rom is laggy too
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
Virtuous Saga is a leaked ROM, it isn't final and isn't fully polished/tested. Moreover, the kernel and ROM might be running in debug or partial debug mode, dumping lots of data and slowing down the system. The only other stock ICS ROM for testing is the community ROM from chinese OTA, but it doesn't have some of the functionality.
Given proper drivers or kernel adaptation, I don't think there should be any reason for slower ICS performance. One of the causes might be lack of kernel source, and adaptations for older binary drivers that are done to compensate for it. But it's only my opinion, not facts - I can't prove or disprove it.
Hi, have you tried AOKP? I just recently restored my old GB Sense ROM after having used AOKP for the last couple of months, just to see which one feels faster. After just one day I was back on AOKP. :laugh:

My opinion: all ICS ROMs for Desire S are still laggy and baggy in some way I've tried a couple of them and I'm still disappointed We are all hard waiting for HTC to release kernel 3.0 source. After that some problems with speed and stability will be fixed. And after that we'll see is "true" ICS on Desire S faster or not Until now - yes, faster. In my opinion, of course.
I use icecoldsandwitch and like it very much.
Its based on the AOKP rom.
Still a bit laggy but as good as it gets.

Good clean rom (ICS or JellyBean)

Heey xda people.
In a few days I am receiving my One S.
I have seen the stock ROM and by my opinion it is full with bloat-ware.
I would like to flash it with a good clean-andorid (ICS or Jellybean) rom.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations ? I would be happy to hear that.
Thnx in advance.
