[Q] Which Android version you use ? Post it here

Now that ICS is officially out, which android version you use with your nexus s device ?

i got ICS stock, with stock kernel...running fine, not like ginger but good enough for daily use

Manually upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 from GB 2.3.6 . Only battery issue so far and another thing, there is a strange lag when pressing call button from contacts app - sometimes it takes up to 7-8 seconds before call starts.

Nexus S (I9023) ICS 4.0.3 (CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 18 + Matr1x v13)

I'm using Stock ICS 4.0.3 and Stock Kernel... don't really like custom rooms filled with stuff i don't use and custom launchers that most of the times get laggy ...
In the future i might change to MIUI 4.

ICS 4.0.3 completely stock and unrooted.
A little laggy at times and battery life isn't quite as good as it was with GB but, browser aside which is ****, reasonably happy with it.

No official ICS for NS4G, so back and fourth between oICS and cm7 nightly.

Considering the Nexus S shipped with Gingerbread... that's quite a feat.

not official OTA for my 9020a, but running near stock with kustom kream rom. love it. runs pretty smooth for me

Running on stock ICS with eugene373's Kernel 3.x

Stock ICS 4.0.3, GlaDOS v2.5 ;-)

Stock GB 2.3.6 !!

Sph33r 4.0.3 with GLaDOS 2.5 kernel.

Oh so no one uses Froyo on their Nexus S?

Stock ICS, Stock kernel.
Actually reading negative reviews about ICS surprising me, on my device it is very smooth no lags at all, battery life is excellent it is lasting for 19 hours at least with normal use and 3g is always on.
my device is I9020T.

Stock, rooted 2.3.7
Every ICS ROM I've tried has problems. Either crashes, battery life issues, or other annoyances that drive me insane enough to not want to use ICS yet.
Right now I'm in Android heaven with 2.3.7 and ADW EX. Always smooth as butter and ZERO problems.

CM9 kang by @gearheadbread on Twitter. His builds are really nice.

Stock 4.0.3 unrooted.
I am extremely happy with ICS and have not had any problems with it. Don't think I would ever go back to gingerbread.

List of Stock ICS Roms?

Maybe I'm blind, but there used to be a list with all roms available...cant find it anymore!
anyway, can someone provide some stable Stock ICS Roms (not only here on xda). Currently I'm on an older ROM from trip, but he stopped supporting it so I want to switch. Still I cant find any good stock ICS rom for the sensation in the internet. All of Trip's ROMs are well built, but not perfectly finished: Video playback lag, poor battery life, etc...isnt there a fully working Stock ICS rom out there? please no "senseless"-crap
I tried tripndroid OS and tripnmiui
thanks !

Here's the stock ICS release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941

thx, but mabye you misunderstood or I made a mistake: I want plain ICS (AOSP), no Sense UI. The ROM you posted however, has Sense 3.6
maybe I will give it a try anyway

Which rom to flash for ICS without Touchwiz?

I upgraded my skyrocket to ICS but I am not happy with having the same old Samsung Touchwiz on top of ICS. It really kills the ICS feel... I would like to get plain vanilla ICS on my phone without the Samsung Touchwiz interface. Which rom should I flash on my phone and what are the steps? Any help is appreciated....

Aokp milestone 6. Cm9 is okay but with the rom control settings you can personalize even more.

Good clean rom (ICS or JellyBean)

Heey xda people.
In a few days I am receiving my One S.
I have seen the stock ROM and by my opinion it is full with bloat-ware.
I would like to flash it with a good clean-andorid (ICS or Jellybean) rom.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations ? I would be happy to hear that.
Thnx in advance.

TD 7.1.0 all day everyday.
Everything works, fast and smooth and good battery life. What more do you need?

MIUI Sense based... All MIUI functionality whit some Sense applications (like camera and gallery)...very good Rom.
Sent whit HTC ONE S

If you're into sense
1. Venom sense ( this rom offered tweaks to your liking and customized icons...mostly everything, but still 100% sense)
2. Miui Sense (fast as ASOP, but you get sense camera and gallery and 100% customizable. You can changed anything to your liking). Update are every fridays...(Rebecca Black) LOL
3.Axioms S-less ( a strip down version of sense to get ASOP feeling)
JellyBean
MIUI Jellybean
CM10 by xkonni

however you have the list here.

Or get the latest CM10 nightlies from here. http://get.cm/?device=ville&type=nightly

I am selling my Sensation which rom do you think is most stable

Right now i have flashed ViperS 5.0.0 do you think that is stable enough? What would you recommend. The most important thing is stable.

You should probably revert back to compete stock.

Complete stock sucks and is slow lol. I would feel bad sending someone that.... Any other suggestions. Plus i advertised the phone as rooted with a custom rom on ebay.
edit: I think i might go with ViperS 3.1.4

ARHD 7.3, all as stock, but faster and smoother. Plus install Sultan latest Sense kernel.

WiFi doesn't seem to work on my sensation with the sultan kernel. Just go with the provided kernel. The rom I would reccomend is the ViperS sense 5.0 rom. Its very stable, and you get jelly bean with it too. I also would reccommend a tweaking tool for the SebastionFM kernel (the stock one in the ROM). Its pretty neat because you can customise alot of it.

Maybe on yours, mine is working flawlessly.
The best way is to go as close to stock as he can, all other roms are not quite good as it. I tried almost all of them and I always come back to ARHD.
