Should I trust CM9 over all other rooms? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

no just using standard cm7 no OCing, just dont get why it keeps freezing at night?
Update to cm7 nightly 26. Nightlies are newer and its possible that it fixed that bug. I'd recommend wiping dalvik,cache,and factory because you're experiencing problems already. You don't want them to carry over.

The RC is just a another nightly with a milestone anyway, not any more or less stable than more recent nightly builds. Actually I would bargain that, discounting breaking stuff trying to add features or fix bugs, the recent nightly builds should be better if bugs are resolved.

Thank u for ur input instead of assuming and talking down at me. With that said
I am the same way and on the mt4g I still have my wife update her cm frequently but she's on the virtuous fusion now. Anyway I love cm and really was seeing if there was any input for me to stray from it and try something new yet it seems we are still to new for choice of roms

Any stock based 2.1 rom will be the most stable and easiest to install. Gingerbread rock or killasense are extremly stable and great battery life with imo 5.2 gb sense kernel. Everything works perfectly on both roms. For me, aosp roms take too much effort to just get gps working. If i would have wanted stock android, i would have bought a different phone. I spend too much time with aosp making it look like sense.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
I really like Sense but fell in love with LiquidSmooth. It's made me a fan of AOSP.
However, I also find it funny that out of like 7 responses there were 6 different ROMs mentioned. Kind of how it goes and just goes to show you that you'll have to try a few before you find one you like. If sense is what you want, try SOAB. AOSP, try Liquid Smooth. Then go from there...chances are you'll go back to one of those two I would think.

If you like Sense it's a great ROM. If you are impartial to Sense or don't like Sense then there is no reason to not run an AOSP ROM that I can think of. The performance and battery life on Sense ROMs don't even compare to that of AOSP ROMs on the TBolt.

codename and nexus beam seem really smooth. right now im on nexus beam and im loving the smoothness, but its based on an old version of cm9 so there is little customization. if you want customization id go with codename
The latest version of Nexus Beam is really nice and extremely smooth.

To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried Codename-- yet-- because I'm already happy with the Nexus Beam ROM.
It has decent WiFi strength & solid battery performance.
I might give the other a try-- if I get bored with Nexus-- but I certainly don't feel like I NEED to do it any time soon.
Codename is prettier than Nexus Beam and also SEEMS faster and smoother, but both are slower than GB. I think whoever programmed ICS put kludge routines in the kernel to induce people to buy faster phones. NOT OUR DEVS! some technicians at Google, I suppose. Hint though -- kernel needs overclocking added.
Notes about 'awake' time between these 2 roms:
Codename build-1 kept 'awake' all the time, Beam pre-final is better, but still on and off for 'awake', longer for 'on' than 'off'. Codename build-2&3 got into deep sleep with no 'awake'. So, in terms of battery performance, recommend to go with Codename build-3, also better than other ics roms.
PS phone condition for the comparison: during the night time, wifi off, data off, airplane mode off.
Trying out code name to see how it runs

No - it's apparently so secret that you don't know about it.
I was kidding about running that ROM at the moment, but it was the Froyo ROM I used the most until we finally got the KJ6 drop and the custom roms that came with it. It was so smooth and looked so good, I couldn't get enough of it.
Just wanted to keep this thread alive by saying that after trying out both recent builds of both roms , nexus beam seems to be better with on screen time but tuks rom was better with off screen time. I need someone else to confirm this

I doubt there's any CM10 based rom more stable than CM10.0 stable. I'm running it right now and so far I haven't encountered any bugs or issues really, except for volume wake being unreliable (likely a kernel issue).

That sounds good I don't use volume wake so I'm good without it, I read somewhere that cm stable wasn't really stable just another nightly but I'm willing to give it a try, I'm so sick of sense at the moment and I'm waiting for the rebuild of viper one s and sense 4+ but in the mean time this will do

+1 on CM10 Stable. Although, the latest Nightly is fine also. Stables are Nightlies to some extent. Maybe just be a "Polished" version of previous nightly. Not 100% sure as I am not on the inside of the building.

Haha I debated on where I should post but I decided general since I'm not really looking for a how to but more just to see what are people are using at the moment, but yea I'm on cm10 stable and its working great but it feels too boring compared to being spoiled on viper one s
