Need quick advice

I gave up my nexus for my t989 months ago. Gave my nexus s 4g to my gf. Basically I'm out on he loop and don't know what to flash for her. I just need stability. At its best for this phone whether its gb or ics. I'm tired of her complaining about her phone to me lol. She's having volume issues. Overheating issues.. I just need a quick update on what the latest radio for the nexus s 4g is and what rom provides daily driver stability. Thanks for the input fellas.

hi, I've tried most of the roms here on xda.
I've been running for few months (prior to jelly bean) Codename 2.0 ics 4.04.
never had a issue with this ROM, no overheating or other crap.
but u might want to flash some stock, since ur GF is looking for stability.

I'd say go with CM9 RC1. It's been OEM-stable for me without having to go back to stock and it's definitely faster than any stock rom I've ever used.

Well I don't really care for speed. Just need extreme stability lol all she does is text and play elemental and triple town lol what's the latest radio anyways? The last thing I flashed for her was the June 23 cm7 nightly. Which I assumed would be more than good enough as it was what I used to run for a daily driver. But I never updated the radio. She's on d720sprkl2.

Nexus S: Cyanogenmod 7.2 or Stock

Alright the situation is i got a newish phone and plan on giving my nexus S to my parents, right now its running the nightly. I want to be sure they have something stable. So i am looking at either switching it to Cyanogenmod 7.2 or the stock rom. I have heard that they have released 4.1 stock rom for Nexus S, I have not seen it if anyone has a link please comment with it.
My parents are not tech savy but they need a better phone. So Stock or Cyanogen?

The JB Android 4.1 update is very stable. Set them up with that by following the steps given in our nexus s forums. Good luck!

I would recommend Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Stock. Should be totally sufficient + they get to have Google Now

I recommend on CM9.0 RC-2, which is stable and up to date
h ttp://get.cm/?device=crespo&type=RC

I would use a cym 9 rc2 because everything pretty much works and its really fast with the matr1x kernel. It also has great battery life with just enough customization.

I would use the Stock Stock JB Update or the cm9 RC2, but not cm7.2

definitely stock JB. You can download for Widgetsoid 2.x for notification toggles and a battery % widget, and they're set! JB is really feature rich and awesome!

For 4.1 JB I was looking around for a guide for Nexus S 4.1 rooted. My version is I9020XXJK8. I gave seen a few guides but not that many links for the actual zip of JB 4.1. Also how do you update CWM?

Try this. If you have JB then just do the bottom part (superuser, clockworkmod, etc.)

all you gotta do is watch his thread to see what the status update is on his kernels, also read the thread of the JB ROM your flashing to see what other users are saying
reading and searching are key...

Yeah I'm working on a new one so just hold tight

will wait for matr1x kernel for JB

Cleanrom 4.5 Bluetooth voice doesn't work

I am on cleanrom 4.5 with kinda crap 2.3 and I cannot get voice typing go work ,or voice search to work while using my lg hbs-700 Bluetooth headphones . I have searched and searches three forums and still cannot find anyone else having this problem. And no fixes. Can anyone help? Stock kernal and stock bootanimation

Nobody has any insight? Sweet not even a bad suggestion.. I guess that's what I get for posting in the proper forum. Nobody to flame so no interest.

Might be kernel related. Maybe try a different touch wiz kernel, such as lean kernel for tw.

If it is kernel related, the only kernel to try is Ktoonz. Imo has not updated his kernel because there is no source for the latest updates.
OP, does this issue solely affect CR 4.5? Do you notice the same issue with the JB leak and Beans JB 4.1 build from 11/15?

It did not happen on 4. O just on 4.5 it still ok heard on the kt kernal. I was going to do a fresh install. Now I'm just going to live with it till 5.0 is released.

This seems to be a bug in j1. It occurs on stock deodexed, synergy, and clean ROM 4.5. I am going to Odin back and see if it is because of the deodxed base or if it is the release itself.

Did you try stock JB leak #3, Beans JB build 4, or CleanRom 5? Each of those are based on the latest JB leak #3 VRBLK1.

What is everyones favourite rom combination?

Currently im running cm 10.1.2 stable with marmite cm 8.7 (smartassv2/cfq 100/1000)
with direct inject tweaks
Still dissatified with the performance =/ might end up going back to 4.1.2, been a while

Wait for 4.3 ROMs to come out. I'm peronally using slim 4.3 alpha and quite satisfied with it's performance.

I've tested so much 4.2.2 ROMs for a while but as a result, I also returned to the latest factory image. Now I'm happy with stock 4.1.2 + marmite kernel. That's the first time I could use an uptime session for more than 3 or 4 days. To not support 4.2.* on Nexus S was a smart decision of Google—sorry for the truth, the fewest of us will accept this.
I've also tested this "direct inject" tweaks, but to be serious again: did you really felt the turbo? In my opinion it's a real placebo on our Nexus S.
Maybe I will try 4.3 in the future but I don't really trust the hype today.
4.1.2 + a new kernel, to get more RAM and a lot of great features (like voodoo sound, BLN,...), that's really enough for me. We all forget that new features will also be released in "older" Android versions. A 4.1 from 2012 isn't comparable with a 4.1 from today (e.g. updated Gapps, or features like the new Android Device Manager).

I have tried a ROM, or two, and I agree that 4.1 ROMs run smoother than 4.2.. the battery and performance are nearly the same.. But Slim ROM 4.1.2 is the best balance of features, battery and performance; combined with the newest kernels..

Personally HellyBean 4.1 and 4.2 are my fav...but then again I'm what you call a flashaholick and CM10, BlackBean 6, or Slim 3.1 work great for me, all of them coupled with marmite kernel

I'm happy with stock 4.1.2 + marmite kernel.

exactly what I'm using. After testing all the ROMs I keep coming back to Stock+Marmite (rooted and bloatware free, of course)

Android 4.3 Aosp And Marmite Kernel !!!

4.3 slim bean

Using 4.3 slim bean alpha as well. work much much smoother than 4.2.2. The only issue I have is that when I try to open "developers options" in the setting menu, it causes the app to crash. Besides that I am very happy with it.

Where could I grab the stock 4.1.2 rooted ROM?
