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!

Gummynex is nice!!

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

IMM26 BY evilisto is best.

Which rom are you talking about?
The best rom so far is cybergr with air kernel. Great battery and no lag
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

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.
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes

[Q] Advice

I need advice on which build to download of ICS? I had the original Cyanogenmod9 but the music and camera features were too buggy. I am having trouble finding the updated build for it. I also need the latest GAPP files as well. Can you someone help me out?

There's a few different threads on this. You need to READ, your previous two posts in this forum were useless as well, had you read then you wouldn't have needed to post.

There's plenty out there, but one that I don't recommend for now is EaglesBlood. It's a great first build, but it still has its bugs.

Why is that? Eaglesblood was running fine for me. Had it for 3 days but I needed better battery life so I went back to cm7

Some recommendations
You can find a link to the 2/15 ics gapps in this thread:
x0xHELLx0x's ROM Guide - G2X tweaks / mods / apps
On the ICS ROM's I recommend Hellfire Sandwich v1.2. Have been using this as a daily driver for a little while and no problems. Look here:
HellFire Sandwich v 1.2 p999 4.03(Facebook Sync )22512
One other suggestion, please learn to to use the search functions. The links above are very easy to find.
PartzMan2
Phone: rooted G2x
ROM: Hellfire Phoenix v1.2
OC: 1200Mhz

Ya same here, loving the hard work our devs put out to make ics more stable every day. But I just can't get rid of this Hellfire Phoenix rom, its been an unforgettably stable (perfect) rom since the beginning.
Really greatful to doniccq too since he taught xohellox to dev for the g2x, and his eaglesblood rom is equally as great.

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!

[Q] Most stable Android 4.0 ROM for Galaxy 3 to use everyday.

Hello, may I know what is the most stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy 3? I know there are many 4.0 ROMs now, but are still in development stage. MIUI, AOKP or CM9 is the most stable and can be used for daily?

I think MPics

What is MPic?

Yes.
Or you wait for Stabilia.

ICS port for galaxy 3 is still incomplete! I highly recommend you to downgrade to CM7 or Froyo for now
btw, you can discuss here

Well, I am sad to say that even cm7 is not good enough atm for everyday use (to use it as main rom). At least for me

Well you could try kyorarom serenity as its up to date withe the cm9 repo but there are still things not working such as camera and bluetooth

Kyorarom is not very stable. I think the best rom for a daily use is CM7 or Kyrillos ROM v10

There are several good ics roms at xda for G3 which can be used daily but many things in it are not working.
Well I've question that is it technically possible to fix those things?

Hillbeast thinks it will be easy when we get the 3.0 kernel but says its a little bit hard with the kernel we got now so maybe we need to wait for the 3.0 kernel

i think miui v4 rom is very good, use daily, but not enough smooth and have so much defect
my favourite rom is aokp!

miui
yeah miui for G3 is very laggy and most of the thing don't work....

You could try mpics 3.0 haven't tried it yet so I don't know how stable it is

Lightest Rom?

Hi.
My Nexus S is kinda slow now and it cam be embarrassing sometimes.
I only use my phone for Google music, Tunein radio, podcasts, email and basic internet.
I was looking the other day to see what was eating my memory up and I noticed things that I don't use any more like twitter apps and stuff that I will never use like Google play books and play movies.
I am rooted and using a tweaked kernel, but I'm still using stock ROM. I think this weekend that will change.
I'm not interested in overclocking, just a little bit more quickness and stability.
Can anyone recommend a good kernel and ROM combo.
Kernel must have voodoo sound.
Cheers.

If you want blazing fast rom try Metal Dragon Overlord, only drawback it's 4.1.2, if you want 4.2.2. rom try Hellybean or CM10.1 nightlies.
Pretty much every kernel's got voodoo sound so that's nothing to worry about.
Rom&kernel combo? - Metal Dragon Overlord, matr1x kernel.

Hi,
Initially I was looking forward to a 4.2.2. ROM but I have read comments about lag after a week or so of using those ROM's. So I may just stick with a 4.1.2. ROM.
Looking for something that I can flash and forgot, something very mature that I can keep on my phone for the next year without thinking about it or getting reboots. Don't want to be flashing a new version every day.
Cheers.

I have had my eye on Rasbean for many many months. I have heard many good things about it. I think I will try that first.
I already have Thalamus kernel running with my stock ROM. Tbh it isn't blazing fast, but I have never had any reboots at all, unlike my brief flirtation with Marmite many months ago.

This is the closest, or one of the closest, to a stock 4.2.2 ROM you can get and it's light, no bloatware. Also if you're using a 4.2.2 ROM, you these mods as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
It really increases your performance and doesn't affect battery.
