**PEOPLES OPINION: Whats the best fully functional ROM/Set Up Out Right Now?

I was rocking the Cyanogen Mods Nightly for a minute...i wanted the new update so i went back to stock to get the GRJ90 and Baseband update. Got it and im getting a steady 6-7mbps 4G now!!
My question now is....in your opinion...what is the best fully functional ROM out for the UPDATED 2.3.5 Nexus S 4G?
How is the newest nightly running?
Any roms developed for the 2.3.5 update?

I am enjoying buglesspetes nightlys, slim and smooth.

petes rom
Petes rom with petes kernel (or matrix 5.5) has been solid for me. iceandfire seems pretty nice as well (but I havent tested it much) if you like a more themed ROM.

I agree, Pete's roms has good batt life and performance. Also Jonathon Grigg's Carbon4g rom is pretty bada** too.

I too am using bugless Pete, but testing matrix 5.5 with it, also fond of decks for more features. Pete says to use his kernel but I want to play with undervolting.

If you want a clean super fast rom with great battery. Go with Pete.
If you want a very theme-able rom with sprinkles. Go with Ice and Fire. Use go launcher.
Both are great in their own regard.

Its unanimous. Using BP myself with his kernel. Just out of curiosity, what is the newest baseband and prl?

You mean the Crespo ROM, right ?

I've tried them all and BuglessPete with his Kernel is the smoothest with GREAT battery life.....

KushDeck gives you great customizablility, battery life with Matr1x 5.5 isn't great, going to try Pete's Kernel. Really like the theme chooser and ability to change lock screen (add music controls, additional swipe tabs, etc)

No CM7 love?
Surprised no one is rocking straight CM7. What does BP do over top of CM7 to make it more appealing?
Also, do you need to flash back to stock to get the updated baseband?

BuglessPete with the included kernel is the best for smoothness, stability, speed and battery life. It does lack some features found in the CM7-based ROMs though. Stuff like the theming engine, lockscreen edits, reboot menu with screenshot option, etc. If you want all that, go with Kush 1.3.
But let me throw another name into the ring -- the Oxygen ROM, made by the same dev who did OpenSoju, is a stock-look, CM7-based ROM that is very stable, with good battery life. I'd say Oxygen 2.2.1 is just a smidge better than Kush 1.3, but nothing touches Pete for responsiveness/battery life. I go back and forth between Oxygen and Pete these days. Btw, the Oxygen thread is only in the GSM forum, but they link to ROMs for the CDMA crespo as well.

Thanks for the link, I setup a friend with Oxygen 2.1.6 but I am having trouble finding release notes for oxygen 2.2.1 on XDA. I really like OpenSoju and want to try Oxygen 2.2.1 but would like to see a bit about what I'm getting into.
Edit: Does Oxygen 2.2.1 have customizable lockscreen with 4 tabs and Music Player controls? 2.1.6 had Custom Power buttons and theme chooser so I assume those remain.

yeah GPA17 is my choice too.

I know for sure it has the power menu and theming engine. I did not see a lockscreen config in the Oxygen Settings. Granted I did not look that hard for it since I like the stock lockscreen. I have only ever run 2.2.1, have never run 2.1.6, so I can't speak to the differences.

cm nightly + tuv11 latest

I've switched to Pete's ROM (GPA17) a couple weeks ago and haven't looked back. Much more stable, snappy, and better battery life than anything I've tried before (CM7 nightlies). +1 for GPA17

i appreciate everyones input! quick question...petes GPA17...someone clear that up with me? Im just going to flash this newest rom "ete_crespo4g_08-19-11.zip" then run his new "Nexus S 2.6.35.14 Kernel" and see how that runs.

Ok, im running petes latest nightly. Everything seems nice, but im getting lock-ups everyday and its happening with various things. Once i was choosing a new ringer and it froze while playing the ringer. had to pull my battery. Another time when i tried answering a call, it locked up...had to pull the battery. There are other instances but that gives you an idea...just random freezes. Any ideas?

[Q] Whats the best ROM for i9020T

Dear friends,
I have Nexus S on t-mobile ICS 4.0.4, i would like to know which one is the best of best room for my phone.
I want a rom that i can count on and theme.
i have found two of theme here on site..
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483033
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
Which one can i use for my t-mobile i9020t

Well, everyone will like a different ROM. This is mostly a personal question and you will have to test a few before you decide which one you like more.
Bedalus benchmarks might tip the scale:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481856
Now, if you ask me, I really like MIUIXperience since it offers nice theming over MIUI (loving Xperia launcher and other stuff). Haven't had any problems with it (except for some known bugs that the DEV is working on).

koush isnt making roms, not for the nexus s at least. you probably meant cm9, which is not koushes work. plus there are many more roms out in the dev section, some are more popular than the roms that you listed.

Where is Bugless Beast on poll!?
Like stated previously, it is all completely up to you. Just try them all until you find the one you like
I'll tell you about my experiences though with CyberGR v10 (previous ROM) and Bugless Beast (current ROM):
CyberGR was great but there were too may mods I didn't personally need. Also, different applications would lag at times like email, facebook, or even the T9 dialer (sometimes it would up to 5 seconds to pull up my dialer and contacts which was ultra annoying). I tried many different kernels and overclocking options but it still lagged or even rebooted. Thus I decided to change.
I switched to Bugless Beast and I am very happy with it as my daily driver. It is very simple mod and close to stock ICS and I just applied my own additional modifications to suit my needs like the kernel change to support BLN, BLD, and voodoo. This ROM is very snappy, has a great battery life, and everything works as far as I know even with my modifications.

May I ask, how do you edit the image files of a custom rom to remove few applications and change the language files

Stable ICS rom?

Its there a stable, clean ics rom for the g2x? Nothing themed and all that just stock style?

I've been using AOKP for a while now and have no complaints. It looks stock-ish.

They're all pretty stable and they're all pretty much clean until you start customizing stuff. EB is probably the most "clean," though. I don't remember it offering much, if any, options for customization. I'm currently a big fan of HFS, clean not dirty.

No there is no such thing as ics according to lg. I mean there's only 699 threads regarding this...

Well...
I've been using the EaglesBlood ICS ROM and I like that one a lot. The creator said it was supposed to be close to stock but has a few extra features for better performance. There's also supposed to be an update to 4.0.4 today, and I've heard people say that the pre-release is very smooth and snappy. I would wait for the full release though, apparently the pre-release doesn't have working wifi... I would say get the 4.0.3 version until he comes out with the next.
But keep in mind that all ICS ROMs are still not completely stable and you will find some problems. I just find EaglesBlood to work well and HellFire is good too.

As I think you could probably find this out for yourself, by flashing them and creating backups like everyone else around here did, my choice is AOKP.
There's really no way to tell on your phone, though, as each phone is different. However, AOKP Milestone 5 is stable and amazing, with the stock kernel.

Eaglesblood 4.0.4 ASOP
Eaglesblood 4.0.4 ASOP is clean and awesome. The only issue I've run into is some WiFi calling glitches.
Minimal customization and code straight from Google.

Another Eaglesblood 4.0.4 ASOP user here and its worked well for me thus far. If you read through the threads for the different ROM's you'll find their users having similar experiences.
There are some known drawbacks to ICS on the G2x and thats more an LG issue that the Dev's here.
Backup your phone, then try them all out and pick your favorite. Worse case, you roll back to what you have now.

im currently running aokp milestone 5 and ive enjoyed it very much. havent tried out any other custom roms, but the control and customizations you get with aokp makes it a nice rom to try out. flashing process is pretty easy too
it's stable with a few known and documented bugs

ics vs gingerbread?

hey, i have been running an ics rom for a while. Its been super laggy and i havnt had time to flash a new one. My reason for making this post is to ask whether or not the ics roms are stable and fast, or should i just use cm7 if im looking for a fast rom with great features. thankyou in advance.

There are different builds of ICS, like nightly and AOKP. You just gotta try and the different ones and see which ones you like best. Changing ROMs is all about preferences and what you feel comfortable with.

After using Slim for the past few months, I would not go back to a non-ICS ROM (this ROM will probably influence my choice of the next phone I buy, i.e. I will make sure it's available on that device).

While I agree the SlimICS is very quick and runs fairly smoothly, it does lack in other departments. In order to have a slimmer and smother build they had to cut certain things. The main thing I noticed is not all languages are supported.

SlimICS has been the best experience of the ICS roms, or any rom for me. It's very fast, stable, and feature packed. I've had zero problems through the two different builds I've been using for the last week. I highly recommend it.

Thanks guys. I'm currently running cm7 again. But it sounds like I should definitely try the slim rom.

SlimICS is definitely worth the time investment to get it installed and running. I came from Cognition 4.5.x and my phone is running better than it ever has using any previous ROM I've tried (and I tried a lot of them!). Granted, my IMEI paid the ultimate price for using all those different ROMs (EFS folder wiped/corrupted), but I'll have that sorted out soon enough with any luck.
Can't say enough about Slim though, granted I didn't care for the Lightening launcher that's included. I am using the standard ICS launcher, which works fine and is plenty fast for me.

SlimICS or Nostalgia (SlimICS based) - runs faster than S3.
But I'm rooting my S3. So boajuicing comes...

Give AOKP a shot. I'm running it and love it.
Sent from my SGH-I897

I find that the CM9 ROM I use isn't always the fastest but the features pretty much balance it out when compared with Gingerbread.

ICS is fast and sleek, but I'll choose GB KK4 for the meantime until they fix the unsuccessful encryption bug on ICS. Still waiting though :silly:

I've never liked GB but then again, I didn't give it that much of a chance. I was extremely satisfied with di11igaf's Rom [2.2.1] on my Captivate, flashed to stock GB, then flashed immediately back.
Currently running TiramiSlim RC 2.0 [Based on SlimICS 3.9] after being somewhat of a crazy flash-aholic as far as ICS Roms are concerned. It is super-fast & extremely smooth.

clean stock ICS ROM for desire s

Hello, can you recommande good working and stable clean ICS ROM(like Galaxy Nexus stock interface) for daily use that has no htc sense? thx

Try Fallout or AOKP. Both are pretty good, but have some bugs.
Anyway, they won't be as stable and good as we wish until new kernel from HTC will be released.
As far I know, there isn't any absolutely problem-free and bugfree ICS ROM due to that kernel.

Fallout is a great rom indeed, but it's sense.
Try IceColdSandwich, or Tectas Unofficial.

BlindIce is what you want! Almost perfect!

because of my obsessive-compulsive-rom-flashing fetish, I have tried Fallout, Miui, IceColdSandwich, BlindIce and Primo. While Primo and Fallout have sense 4 lite, they are not what you are looking for. Miui is stable and has a good set of features, however, the ICS version of Miui is laggy and slow. Another major drawback is that Miui seems to ape ios in terms of UI and that gets really boring really fast. After all, that is why we are on android no? I have heard that the AOKP stock from Tectas is not as fast as the IceColdSandwich rom (possibly because IceColdSandwich incorporates tweaks from a number of sources including linaro and has the camera working, which I haven't seen any posts confirming this for the AOKP rom). i've tried BlindIce too, and found it a bit too laggy for my taste. So, you are probably best off with IceColdSandwich, which I have found to be the least laggy, less buggy, with most bits and pieces working and regularly updated. All flashing was done with clean install, full wipe/factory reset and no restoring of apps. Yeah, OCD like I mentioned earlier. This is just my opinion, however, I'd love to hear more from others with different experiences.
- tazz

I've tried CM9, tectas' AOKP and IceColdSammy. IceColdSandwich does feel like the smoothest and fastest of those 3. Didnt last long on CM9 and barely a day into it i went back to Reaper (still my favorite ROM). but that was one of the earlier CM9 builds, haven't gone back because every time i think about venturing away from Reaper, i try AOKP first (the latest one from Tectas is probably the most stable one of that series i've tried) then the IceColdSandwich (the latest version 8.3 is, again, the most stable) which is what I'm running now. I think i like the "cleaner", more stock android feel of AOKP. the smoothness of IceColdSandwich on top of that is plus too.
Been away from Reaper just a little over a week now and i might not come back or switch to another (yeah, right) until lowveld (fingers crossed) decides to build an ICS or JB version of Reaper.

ICE_DS by ronks is most probably the closest we can get to our official ICS OTA! With sense 3.6 though, might wanna try it out...
