[Q] New to Nexus S, any ROM recommendations

Just got a used Nexus S (i9020t) coming from a Vibrant. The number of AOSP based ROMS over here is very refreshing. Anyone have a recommendation for a 2.3.5 ROM that is stable, easy on battery, and fast? (Hey, I want all three). I've been running cm7 on my Vibrant, so I'm familiar with that. Is the last nightly stable? What about the Kanged versions? Should I be swapping out kernels?
Basically I'm looking for a solid ROM that I won't have to (or want to) mess with for a while. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try my rom. I just updated it 10 minutes ago. Fast and stable. If you're trying to save battery do an undervolt and lock the max speed to 800mhz.
Edit: ROM is called -=Nexus MV=-

Thanks for the reply and thanks for releasing a ROM. Will definitely check it out.

Try a CyanogenMod 7 kang from Simms22 (you can get them on the CM7 Nightly thread): http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigg...cm-7.1.0-RC1-NS-KANG-signed.09142011-0558.zip
Flash the Google Apps package: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110729-signed.zip
Use the Trinity TUV kernel (it's broken at the moment, use this build from the 11th): http://morfic.euroskank.com/NS/TUV-Any-NS+4G-11092011.zip
CM7 is just... amazing. Use this for speed and very good battery.

I would recommend cm7 miui and Peter Alfonso. All very good roms. In my opinion Pete's rom has the best battery life but try them all and see what u like best. What works good for me may not work for u lol. Just try all the roms people on here said and see what works best for u

Im using CM7 ...but it is very disspointing me because of the battery..
just last for 10 hours..

I've been running Formels MIUI, it's on the devs forum here on the Nexus S, it seems to be stable compared to the stock MIUI and battery is better.
Still, I'm also looking for a Rom that improves the camera, recording still isn't as good as I wanted and sometimes I get the random freeze&reboot....

[Solved] Remove thread requested

I have been running Elite Mod and then gummy nex for over a month now I believe but now the flashing junkie inside of me is coming out and I'm urged to see what other development is going on. So what is everybody running these days? I wanna try something new for a while. I was thinking about the ICS MIUI or swamp goblins dianxin port that is similar to it, I love the MIUI look and style. I know that I will in fact end up going back to GummyNex after a while I just wanna check something else out for a bit and calm my flashing urges. Lol. So any opinions?
Edit: Flashed a couple other roms and needed around with them for a bit. Decided none could live up to Gummy so I went back. Lol. Anyways. This thread is now useless. Mods please delete.

Not being funny, but how many times has this question been asked?= too many times! Without appearing rude, perhaps you should search a little through the Q&A threads & read the many answers people have posted to this ( many times asked! ) question!
Even better idea! Go to the devlopment section & download a few for yourself to try!

Try them out! That's the best way. I like codename android 1.4 with Matr1x kernel. Just to give you somewhere to start

Bugless beast

I use evilisto 4.0.4 port

You've got to just try them out. I started with gummynex..was good..i tried CyberGR-MOD...stuck to it for few weeks...also liked it..very stable everything working.. now i am using Nuhetri-reloaded v 3.01...it seems to be extremely stable..based on ICS 4.04 an I am using Air Kernel 3.3 and liking it a lot.. i am finding it's been the fastest / smoothest ROM i have tried to date...
go on...be a FLASH WHORE

the NexusMV roms are on the top of my list

My favorite is nuhetri-reloaded-v3.0.1 and for me it was very stable and smooth. I use nuhetri's rom since v2.3.0 without any issue. No lags and no reboots

If you don't trust these numbskulls, go check the forums for your phone and see which one has has the highest views/thread count. Those are usually your best bet for a good (stable) rom.

I tried 3-4 custom roms. Cyber GR is the best. Fast (though not fastest), stable, lots of useful features.

I suggest you try to flash ROMs and Kernels. Best ROM for me might not be the best for you it depends on how you use your phone. All ICS rooms in the dev section are stable since we have the official ICS update. BTW Im using cyberGr stormy 3 v8. Happy flashing...

You can check bedalus work on ICS ROMs:

I've used CyborGRv7, then Oddie's MIUI's ROM.
Now I am on nuhetri v3.0.1 and it's working flawlessly!! For now, it's option number 1 for me (but I haven't tried much either ).

everyone got their own opinions... it all comes down to ur preference ... personally. i m using aokp milestone 3...
itz feature packed and stable... follow my signature for details ...

I felt the latest cm nightly was the most responsive i have used on a ns4g. Still not where i feel it should be though. They all feel like betas to me still. Was using matrix kernel.

+1 from me too.
nuhetri-reloaded-v3.0.1 is really a nice rom and it's fast
I suggest you combine it with AirKernel 3.4.5

[Q] Kernel Question

Just flashed the matrix kernel and was needing to go back to the stock cm9 v.4 kernel that was built into the ROM itself. Anyone know if that's possible and if so how? Thanks.

Reflashing the ROM might do it.

not true. ive been using cm since a week since cm first came to android with cm3, on many different phones, cm works great with other kernels. since cm7 and cm9, on the nexus s, ive never used cm stock kernel, always used a custom kernel(trinity).

If you don't want to flash all rom, you can flash only cm9 v4 kernel. I am not able to post the link (less 8 message..)

Go to cm9 thread they have posted kernel separately if you still can't find it let me know

[Q] I'm looking for a new ROM but...

...but I have few problem to chose one!!!
Actually I have an old Rom named Pixel ROM 1.72. Do you remember it?
I like this rom because is simple and fast and I'm looking for something like it.
I really like to try a Rom based on Jelly Bean but I fear to severely slow down my terminal,
and I have to use it also for my job...
If anyone have a suggestion...

You should really try the incredible JellyShot v0.5.2. It's JB 4.2.1, the most recent android ever. Google will not officialy release it for Nexus S, but this version is absolutely incredible! No kidding.
Slimbean is ok, but gets buggy along the way.
Bugless Beast is good, but a little outdated
Cyanogen 10 was not good for my battery and I thought it had too many fireworks, I like simple stuff.
Download JellyShot.
Just follow the instructions. I'm using Marmite v 1.7.5 (plain not the CM)
I use the one at column C5, is working great, no lag, no nothing just incredibleness!!
Look in search, it's my first post, so I can't post urls yet...
Cheers from sunny Brasil!

sorry for late response..
the name version v3.1 it's not related to android version is still jb 4.1.2
but as former stated I've tried jellyshot v0.3 and 0.5 now... WOW amazing fast!!!
not so minimal as slim ones but my Nexus seem to be supercharged now..(not related to zeppelinrox scripts!!)
