Just bought a used nexus s 4G. Installing cwm now, what's the best ICS ROM to try out first on the NS4G?

Honestly it depends on what you want.
If your trying everything out to see whats best for you, then I would say
1. Cyanogenmod 9
2.WP7 Android (based on miui)
3. Peter Alfonso
4. oICS (this has crazy amount of dev time by a famous dev, try it. It's what I run, but might switch to CM9, just because it's CM9!. Not without trying out WP7 though
Now, compare my grammar to the guy that posted before me; who do you think knows more about what they're talking about?

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....
Hello ,
I have a Nexus S i 9023 and i have installed many different ROMs but I don't know which is the best . Please inform me about your opinion.
I am talking about ICS Roms and you can also post benchmarks to help me deside.
Now istalling GummyNex 0.7.7 I Will tell you what I think of it. Achter installimg of course. But it should have a lot of tweaks hand stuff!!

I think KANGY11 is the best. I've tried many but that one beats everthing. Try it with Glados 2.9 and you will have a excellent batterylife!

for me Apex by Bigxie is Da Bomb
CyberGRv7 ICS Rom is MINT!!
I'd say CyberGR's v7 as well, have it on my own nexus, works like a charm
15½ hours on battery , still 74% battery left.
I'm agree. I use CyberGR V7. It's a great ROM. I've tested some another, but I have great battery/perf/functions with CyberGR.
I really like CyberGR v7. Has been pretty stable (I have not experienced any reboots or FCs), really fast and good battery life.

Have you upgraded to Apex 1.0.2 yet? I tried, but after flashing my wifi worked great but 3G would not connect.
It's hard to say "this ROM is best!" for anyone, it depends what your looking for in a ROM. If battery life is your main concern, I'd second CyberGR v7.
Performance? Personally I like Codename Android with matr1x kernel (mainly because of 1.46Ghz OC.)
Bugless petes for best of everything!

Damn. Figured out what happened here. I checked my APN. Set it and it works great now.

I'd give my vote to CyanogenMod 9 (v3.4 atm). Get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035. I used to use MIUI but switched to CM when ICS came out and have still not found a reason to search any further.
I've gone from CyberGR v7 to Oodie's MIUI and now on nuhetri v2.3.0.
I think MIUI is still a bit laggy, but it's coming through fast.
Nuhetri is working pretty good for me. A would still need to check battery life on it, but it's pretty fast!
Nuhetri or cna v1.4.0 ! I have cna atm with air kernel 3.3 overclocked to 1400mhz. soooo smooth! And batterylife is pretty good

Which rom are you talking about?
The best rom so far is cybergr with air kernel. Great battery and no lag

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 room and kernel performance that's a must read for anyone looking to get the most out of their device.

Oxygen 2.3.2 is the most stable ROM I've ever used. I moved to CM9 kang a lil time ago but even that isn't as stable.
Check out Carbon Or Nexbreed is good too
Try Brainmaster's MIUI, it's a really nice rom, smooth and stable

Add another vote for Oxygen. Blandroid and Bugless Beast are also stock with a little more out of the box.
I'm usually partial to Peter Alfonso's ROMs, though I'm trying out CM9 at the moment.
You can dowload the 12-17 GB ROM here. I ran it for a long time and really liked it. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but VERY stable.
EDIT: Since you're on the 4G, and I don't know which would be best to flash, I'd just go to his download site and grab the latest. I'd imagine the 4G version is just as good as the 3G one.
Oxygen 2.3.2!
I gave up my nexus for my t989 months ago. Gave my nexus s 4g to my gf. Basically I'm out on he loop and don't know what to flash for her. I just need stability. At its best for this phone whether its gb or ics. I'm tired of her complaining about her phone to me lol. She's having volume issues. Overheating issues.. I just need a quick update on what the latest radio for the nexus s 4g is and what rom provides daily driver stability. Thanks for the input fellas.

hi, I've tried most of the roms here on xda.
I've been running for few months (prior to jelly bean) Codename 2.0 ics 4.04.
never had a issue with this ROM, no overheating or other crap.
but u might want to flash some stock, since ur GF is looking for stability.
I'd say go with CM9 RC1. It's been OEM-stable for me without having to go back to stock and it's definitely faster than any stock rom I've ever used.
Well I don't really care for speed. Just need extreme stability lol all she does is text and play elemental and triple town lol what's the latest radio anyways? The last thing I flashed for her was the June 23 cm7 nightly. Which I assumed would be more than good enough as it was what I used to run for a daily driver. But I never updated the radio. She's on d720sprkl2.

Well, first of all....YOU! Welcome Back, my friend! I sure do hope that hand has healed up nicely with no future problems for you.
So, what do we want for Christmas, eh? I'm probably an easy one but I'm going to say it anyway. I would LOVE to see you resurrect Wildchild ICE into AOKP Wildchild Ice Cream & Jelly Sandwich with possibly another seldom seen launcher installed like perhaps the one for the LG. I HAVE seen that one and it's VERY nice, IMHO.
Oh yeah, and WELCOME BACK!!!:good:
How about cm 10.1?

I also had some phone problems lol.....so I ordered a replacement last week and rooted/full S-Off'd yesterday. So I'm back on the scene
Ideally, a wildchild ice that has great battery like the previous ones, but with cm 10.1 and the latest AOKP. And of course it should work well with scverhagens kernels.
Glad to see you're back!

We-we-we-welcome breaker. I mean... Welcome back!
Any ROM which has awesome battery life and smooth performance is fine by me. Thank you.
I know I'll get flamed for this but the latest Sense that works with JB...
I have been enjoying Virtuous on ICS lately and it's time for a change.
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using xda premium
I wouldn't mind a JB Sense rom, but we'd need a kernel just as good as our AOSP one to match
Maybe you could revive your CM/AOKP hybrid, it was one of my favorite ICS roms
I'd love to see a JB version of WiFi calling.
Oh, a Sense4+ JB ROM would be the *&*^! :fingers-crossed:
Maybe I'm the oddball, but I'd like to see an extremely stable AOSP ROM for Gingerbread. Since the source code has been released, I think that would be a relatively easy ROM to make. I'm still seeing some issues with the ICS and JB ROMs I'm running. I have a tendency of running an ICS/JB ROM for a while, then switching back to GB because of it's stability.
I wanna see Paranoid Android 3+ compiled for our device.

maybe I'll go for paranoid first because that will be the easiest (not necessarily easy, but easiest lol). Then I'll re-tackle WildJelly that was never released from it not being done. WildJelly is basically a Jellybean version of WildchildIcE :fingers-crossed:

Just curious, why do you want a 3.4 kernel in particular?
I just love the sense based Roms specially because of the amazing camera app, it takes wonderful shots; but I didn't find a stable one with satisfactory battery life time uptill now!
I changed the stock gingerbread rom just because it didn't support Arabic I tried all the patches but they never worked.
Anyway, my dream rom for that phone would be a stable sense based JB or Kitkat rom that don't drain the battery in 3 hours ; )
