Hi there. I'm new to the Nexus S. Bought a second hand one after my first Android phone (galaxy ace) died due to water damage. After a week of reading I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone.
Now here is my question, I am a big fan of PDroid wich currently only runs on gingerbread. I really love the ICS interface but until PDroid can run on ICS I am looking for good deodexed gingerbread Rom. So I would like to ask your opinions on the GB roms.

I tried finding Nexbreed on XDA but the thread was closed due to warez. Did you get it from a different site?
Thanks anyway. Someone else opened a post about GB roms and alot of people are recommending Oxygen so ill have a look there.
I ve downloaded it in Rom Manager. Oxygen is good too but i prefer Nexbreed because for Oxygen you have to wipe cache and i need my cache.
Ah ok.. I never used rommanager because it bricked the galaxy ace. But I'm guessing you can download from within the app. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Rommanager is a great app! I can reflash Cwm from within! So I downloaded nexbreed. I am on ICS 4.0.4 do you know if I their are any issues with downgrading to gb?

Nope just do a full wipe beforehand, ie /system, /data, /boot and then flash it

Bugless Beast and Carbon are both good roms too
Nexbreed is a good one try it out.

So I made a PDroid patch, flashed nexbreed had a little problem with super user (didn't seem to work) just reflashed the one I still had from rooting. Flashed PDroid an all works well! Later I will try the other GB roms you all advised but for now nexbreed is looking really fast and stable. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. And let's hope ICS support for PDroid will be out soon

After trying nexbreed for a few days I am happy with it and want to see what else is out there.. I downloaded oxygen and bugless beast but both where odexed. And for PDroid I need a deodexed Rom. So any suggestions for a deodexed gingerbread Rom would be much appreciated
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Seems my PDroid patcher was a bit off, not sure why but no matter what rom I gave it to patch it said it was not deodexed. After reinstalling a different version of PDroid all was good. So I made a successful patch of blandroid and the Pete Crespo rom. I'll have a look at them tomorrow.

I been looking for a stock untouched Rom for the Nexus S 4G, All the links i found are dead, It can be rooted but no mods. If anyone could help i would really appreciate it.
So you're basically just wanting to go back to stock?

I want a clean base to work on. I just don't want to use someone else's ROM.

He has work in there, its not stock like you think. Everyone will know its based off of it when we see the kernel.
If you want untouched you'll have to compile yourself from source which takes like 50gigs of you hard drive and takes forever to complied then you have to do the same for the kernel.

Or not. You install stock OTA, remove the recovery script if any, flash back CWM/TWRP and SU. Bingo.

I'd say use the Faux kernel with Sky Ice Cream
It gives me the best battery life... about 2 days with moderate use.
And NEVER use ROM Manager. It's BAD. VERY BAD!
Just in case people haven't seen this and are running an ICS rom
-I have only tried this on EB CM9 and HFS... I am almost positive it will not work with aosp as they are not cm9 roms
Updated post with some screen shots that are from my phone there are many different ways you can set it up, I'm still learning how much it can do lol... kinda cool though.

What rom are you running while using this tool? I used to use rom toolbox by jrummy.. but it hasn't worked as well with ICS...
I read in the OP that it works on CM9 roms .. I know that CM Roms are AOSP by nature but not all AOSP Roms are CM9 , correct?
Most specifically, will this work with The newest EaglesBlood AOSP ICS Rom?

No this wont work with the newest Eaglesblood rom. I have tried and you end up losing your status bar.
If people want to pm me what roms they have tried and this worked or failed on so I can add them to the O.P. that'd be great

You must be missing out on hashs amazing kernel. I don't like being a guinea pig because I'm still new to rooting and flashing. I finally set up adb which took me forever

Trying not to beat a dead horse here.... currently running a stable cm7 from last year with launcher ex instead of adw.(rooted) What kind of updates are in the newest cm7 release? Is it worth a flash? The new at&t update, how is that compared to say a custom rom? Looking for a stable,snappy, (with some eye candy) phone. And if I wanted the att update what would I do? Go back to stock?

Flash and see for yourself, as for the at&t update use gizmoe's or flapjaxxx's rooted version in the dev section

I tried Android Revolution HD 6.3.3, which is exactly the same as AT&T's update, plus overclocked @ 1.5GHz. Battery life is good, better than unrooted, though. I recommend it
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Cool. I may change it up a bit. I hate re-flashing so I haven't tried much. But lately either cm7 or the launcher ex has been dog slow. Been waiting to see if they bring cm9 to the inspire.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Man, I sure hope they do. I didn't like CM7, though, because stock Gingerbread is too plain. ICS doesn't need another skin over it.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Well, I flashed latest nightly of cm7. Now I really can't wait for a stable 9. I was hoping for a little improvement in update but haven't seen it. Went back to adw cause launcher ex is soooo slow. Cool though. Anyone seen an unofficial cm9 with the bugs worked out?
Sent from my inspire using xda app-developers app
Try installing Jellytime ROM. Its Android 4.1 jellybean. Its actually an unofficial CM10 build.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
Thought about that. Jb I heard was a little buggy. Same as cm9. That's why I like waiting for an official unless the bugs in the above mentioned are minuscule. Plus do u have to flash anything extra like a kernal? I'm better than noob but far from expert. I like small risks.

My dad's G2X is starting to drop calls now.. I forget what ROM i put on his phone but I think it was tsugi or something.. it was a while agoo.. anyways im gonna try to put on a new ROM and see if it solves the issue.. I need a smooth stable rom, no fancy stuff. hes an old man and doesnt care for that.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cm or something based of cm7, it will be hard to match the stability

CM7 or STOCK 2.3.4 rooted both are very stable and fast.
Yes but what baseband?

Any baseband will work. But on the march 2012 one, the bluetooth calling does not work with CM7, only stock 2.3.4!
You should throw hellfire phoenix, new version came out this week. It's probably the most stable rom I've used (based on 2.3) just change the theme up to something simple that he likes.

I've used Eaglesblood CM7/GB for the last few months or more without almost any issues at all.
Official Cm7 I've used it for months now with trinity no issues and I'm still on the old baseband

I've kept the June 2011 Baseband that came with the phone from Wind and it works great with the latest roms - you just have to flash "For_old_bb.zip" after the installing the rom and gapps. Just as important - you may have to experiment with different kernels as different phones (yes - of the same model P999) respond better with others. I'm using HFP 2.4 with ELP ("ELP-G2x-06022012.zip") on my Wind LG 2x (G2x) after trying to make the rom work for a few days with the base faux kernel (didn't work out so well...). Here's my post on the install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238804&page=24
Good luck!
Eaglesblood I would trust with no hassle.Been using it for months without any problems
