I'm currently running a Neapolitan ICS rom that came out a few months ago and I've been having a lot of stability/speed issues with it. Lookign to flash a new ROM but there are so many to choose from.. any suggestion? Most important things to be are stability and speed.. I don't care too much about a fancy feature set.
Thanks in advance
Im running Drew Garens Orca ROM, with matr1x 15.5 and i love it! Very stable

any ics rom now would be better than neapolitan since its using a hacked up gingerbread kernel. so i wouldnt even consider it truly ics since its not using a 3.0.8+ kernel.
I use bixie rom v.1.0.0 with matr1x kernel v.16 - It's really fast stable and smooth. Battery life is also good (just need to tweak some settings).
u can see a review about this combo on nexusshacks website
cheers
I use CyberGr V7. It's awesome.
Stable, Fast, stable and incredible battery. Lot of options and functions.
One word GREAT.
I am currently using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ver. 7.0 Hybrid ICS, it crashes from time to time but for the most part is working fine! I would also remond the CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v2.1 it has less custom features but its only getting better!
PV!
Check out kangs roms (AOKP). There getting lots of positive feedback

Cm9 very fast,stable, you can tweak cpu governors,sounds and colors directly in the rom settings
Cyanogenmod 9 v2.1
Cyanogenmod 9 v2.1 runs very stable on my phone! I would definitely recommend it for stable daily use!
Bigxie Crespo Apex v1.02...brilliant. Was on NexusBeam before which was excellent too, But Bigxie ROm has lots of nice features, facebook sync etc.
Never had a reboot with either unless using a different oc'd kernel, So off the shelf Bigxie Crespo Apex v1.02 it is. rock solid. loving it. Don't like the boot graphic so flashed the stock one and its just perfect
CM9 Kang for the win
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
CM9 Nightly Kang (Build 1 of v2.1)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy-7)
OC 1100/100 (conservative)
I recommend CyberGRv7 ICS rom. It runs beauty on my nexus s!!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

fast stable great menu and awesome colors , i try all the roms and i stay with this for 2 days ...
I tried CNA + Air Kernel.. but battery life was suffering.. currently trying out Pixel Rom 1.6 Fully Touched.. seems decent, is giving decent battery backup.. and i liked the Notification toggles also..
I keep flashing and flashing kernels.
Air
Matrix
Steve Garon
Trinity
Franco

Does anyone use an older dated kernel of any of these on any ICS ROMS and have such stability and good battery life that they are unwilling to upgrade to anything else ?
If so, what is your combination and setup ?
Thanks

I'm quite happy with the stock CM9 kernel. What ROM are you using? Have you tried sticking with it's stock kernel? There's generally a reason the ROM dev chooses the kernel they do.
I have had good results with CM9's stock kernel and the Air kernel for ICS. I had instability with matr1x and trinity.
Im using franco's 1.1 and while it's very bare bones (no bln/bld/voodoo/oc etc) the kernel performs amazingly well and I couldn't be more pleased. I got tired of reboots with other kernels and haven't suffered even a single one yet.

Hey! Im currently running Jellybean-Hydro 4.1 rom with stock clocks. Feels very snappy after tweaking out a bit
What are the fastest CM-Based rom's at the moment?
I remember i really liked the Baked Blackbean rom on ICS, but the latest ported Blackbean-6 werent as snappy as Jellybean-Hydro rom what i am currently using.
I have randomly tried different JB roms but im really interested in CM roms
So go on and suggest me some good roms to flash!
Thanks!
there are only 3 out there basing on CM. In my opinion the best is

hello..ive come from lg g2x forum..there we dont have more of the options for roms and kernels...and coming here is like getting lost in the wolrd of roms and kernels :angel:
i know these kind of topics are never appreciated but some pointer wud be much appreciated...
need just smoothness and speed...thats it..dont care about battery..also i thought nexus s has project butter implemented but it isnt that smooth..
anyway some help please ...
what android version?
oops sorry... cm10.1
Try Marmite for smoothness and stability, or Trinity, but i'm not sure that your phone can handle it (no voltage settings!)..
Marmite is probably the best choice
Marmite is the way to go bro~
It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not
If you are looking for project butter, try some of the 4.1.2 ROMs. The 4.2 ROMs are still maturing and aren't that smooth on Nexus S.
Marmite latest version is a good kernel.

Matr1x kernel overclocked to 1.32 is smooth and stable
thalamus kernel is smooth and snappy, really stable, but less features
The majority of these forums seem to prefer marmite, but I only tried up to 7.1.3, before switching back to matr1x, so I couldn't tell you.
I really think it depends on the rom you are planning to run. Each kernel works/reacts differently with each rom. Usually if you read through the threads for a specific rom you can get a good indication of which kernel works best for it and which setting in each kernel give the best performance. JMHO
which kernel...
which one works better with my nexus s (jellybam 5.1.0)
matr1x vs cm10 vs marmite

I personally prefer Marmite, it works really smooth on my Nexus S, especially when using Jellybean!
AW: [Q] best kernel for nexus s
As you can see everybody preferes a different kernel! I rly like matr1x!
I suggest you try out yourself wich one is best for you! Also try different settings! I use row io scheduler and smartass v2 governor...
i tried almost latest, stable, weekly and nightly roms (like jellyshot final,rbj, gamerz rom,cm10.1 stable, hellybean, slimbean, xenonhd, carbon, PA, thinking bridge, miui, avatar and jellybam
with the different cfs,bfs, vodoo, non vodoo, stable and weekly kernels (like air kernel, matr1x, trinity, devil kernel, marmite, zxenz kernel vta2 kernel) and the best kernel for me (crespo) is marmite 2nd to the best is devil kernel.. and marmite 8.7 bigmem is working best in any rom..
now im testing the thinking bridge latest rom with these kernels.. XD
Not really kernel related, but since I am running marmite v8.7 bigmem, I just ran quadrant & I've only gotten a score of 2046. Other scores were 2033 & 1991, idk how others seem to get such high scores. I've just recently pretty much started fresh due to my phone having problems, so I am in the process of restoring some of my backed up apps.
Quadrant is crap, run antutub instead.
