[Q] New to Nexus S, any ROM recommendations

Just got a used Nexus S (i9020t) coming from a Vibrant. The number of AOSP based ROMS over here is very refreshing. Anyone have a recommendation for a 2.3.5 ROM that is stable, easy on battery, and fast? (Hey, I want all three). I've been running cm7 on my Vibrant, so I'm familiar with that. Is the last nightly stable? What about the Kanged versions? Should I be swapping out kernels?
Basically I'm looking for a solid ROM that I won't have to (or want to) mess with for a while. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try my rom. I just updated it 10 minutes ago. Fast and stable. If you're trying to save battery do an undervolt and lock the max speed to 800mhz.
Edit: ROM is called -=Nexus MV=-

Thanks for the reply and thanks for releasing a ROM. Will definitely check it out.

Try a CyanogenMod 7 kang from Simms22 (you can get them on the CM7 Nightly thread): http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigg...cm-7.1.0-RC1-NS-KANG-signed.09142011-0558.zip
Flash the Google Apps package: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110729-signed.zip
Use the Trinity TUV kernel (it's broken at the moment, use this build from the 11th): http://morfic.euroskank.com/NS/TUV-Any-NS+4G-11092011.zip
CM7 is just... amazing. Use this for speed and very good battery.

I would recommend cm7 miui and Peter Alfonso. All very good roms. In my opinion Pete's rom has the best battery life but try them all and see what u like best. What works good for me may not work for u lol. Just try all the roms people on here said and see what works best for u

Im using CM7 ...but it is very disspointing me because of the battery..
just last for 10 hours..

I've been running Formels MIUI, it's on the devs forum here on the Nexus S, it seems to be stable compared to the stock MIUI and battery is better.
Still, I'm also looking for a Rom that improves the camera, recording still isn't as good as I wanted and sometimes I get the random freeze&reboot....

MIUI ICS

So there's all this stuff about ICS going on here, and I just discovered this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13939-rom-miui-port-miuius-galnet-miuiandroid-updated-01212012/
It's ICS on MIUI. It's working on my phone, and it's butter smooth.
I love it.
All you have to do is install the galnet MIUI build on the link, and then install the MIUI ICS build right there.
It's beautiful.
Tell me what you guys think!

I'm pretty sure it isn't the real deal, just a very close mod.

That's been out for some time. It's just a Miui Galnet build that they claim has some framework tweaks from ICS. And that link is a port from Legend.
Here's details of the Galnet ICS Miui build:
http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/ics-change-log/
I had ported a version for myself also and it was very smooth but i found no real difference or benefit.
Edit: just noticed your link there mt3g
Also, Many folks just don't know about it here because Galnet builds are banned at XDA

Why are they banned here??? And they dont have a p999 version.

They don't, but the one in the OP is a port to P999 from O2x.

I already posted a thread about this earlier in Q&A, It's BS not ICS. They just altered the version number. That's probably why they're "banned", for making false info, low quality ports. MIUI was fine until I installed the ICS build over it then it got stupid, no vibration on touch, missing sounds and nothing that even remotely resembled ICS. Don't waste your time they are just praying on your eagerness. One more thing; if this was a working ICS build Cyanogen would also have a working build...food for thought.
ALL BS http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/ics-change-log/

Not quite, only an MIUI regular build with pieces of ICS functionality integrated into it. Thanks for sharing though!

[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

Having tried it, I also share this sentiment.
Personally staying on a gb rom until a source gets released.

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.

Dman Took down ZTR. If you search you will find it Just google it.
Sent from my Nook tablet running MiUi 2.2.3 Alpha (GB 2.3.7) Rom useing XDA premium.

Just my opinion... I really love all of Dman's work but I would suggest trying Aeon or emancipation...
I've used both
Both of those roms are still supported, etc.... not to mention with entropy dropping a new kernel (hdmi support etc) the newer roms will probably suit your needs better going forward...
Just my 2 cents...
Here's a link to ZTR http://www.mediafire.com/?te7qg9cthr8hds3

This is true we had to become our own support with ZTR and even had to make our own themes. I will always keep a backup of my ZTR ICS themed ROM . But I am currently on another becuase of the support it gets.

I made it well clear before ztr was released that there would be no support for it due to I build for the note now... hard to support a device you don't build for...that's why it was a final release...

Bigs Rom, very nice build.
I suggest you put AEON v1.3 by Bigfau. Really super excellent Rom and seems like everything is working great, very fast too.

i think official aokp is more stable at least for me, but the best rom is codename (as always)
