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.)

Hi!
Iam new to android world using a samsung S i897.
I want to install JB and found the slim rom in this (awesom) forum.
The slim version of android is a part of it? What Im missing? There are features that where left out?
Iam confuse on which are oficial versions and how obtain them and which are mods or custom versions. Exist a ICS official rom for my phone? Is better upgrade to that version or the JB slim rom?
Thanks!!!
None of the Galaxy S series of phones are getting official ICS, let alone JB.
So anything for your phone that's ICS or Jellybean is unofficial.
And you should use Slim JB because its waaay better than stock GB and has no bloat, along with performance boosts. Heck, any custom ROM is better than official versions (aside from the usual bugs when they are in early development).

You may want to look at CyanogenMod 9.. or wait around for a CyanogenMod 10
Google it, I can't post links yet..
You can wait (stable) custom jelly bean version if that appear as it is the most recent android version.

The captivate has good jb ROMs such as hellybean or slim bean as you said. But these guys are right, there will never be any ICS or JB official updates for it because its an outdated phone much like the vibrant or original i9000. The closest you get to stock would be slim bean or slim ICS.

Serch normal JB Rom and flash that. Or ICS if you will not find normal stable JB.
Thanks!!
I will try that.
I saw it was updated today for JB or JB roms.
Anyone pull it so guys on ICS based Rom can get some love?
I'm with ya. Running Google now on stock ics Rom and would love to check out this update. I'm sure we will be flashing the latest update through cwm any second now.

Do they have Google Now that runs on a stock TW Rom, rooted? Google Now will be the one thing I will miss from my GNEX JB Rom.

Like how you can finally add your teams manually also
Google Now error [CM10 on SGS3/Verizon]
On my Samsung Galaxy S III on Verizon, with CM10 nightly, Google Now keeps telling me that I need to turn on Google's location service. But it is on. This notification keeps coming back and I can't get any further with Google Now.
Known issue? Am I missing something??
I went from stock rooted to cm10 and now Beans build 9.. Which is the best right now imo
I'm sure this could be installed as an apk, not flashed correct?
Google now has to be hacked to work on ics. Which is why there are a few bugs currently compared to jb roms. Will probably take a few days for this update to work its way through the team that is porting it over.
Sent from a strange blue box hurtling through time and space.
I am running CM10 because I wanted a taste of jelly bean, but now that jb is being rolled out for the Nexus s 4g I am wondering if it will still do the automatic update from sprint? I would rather use Sprints version of jb for the nexus s 4g. Will the OTA update still be sent to my phone if it is not running the stock rom?
No.

Where can I find this, though? I didn't make a copy of it when I started flashing new roms.

But isn't it possible that Sprint made a better running ROM for this phone that CM did? Can I expect the CM Jelly Bean ROMs to get better for the Nexus S 4g because Sprint released their version?

Your choice: stock rom (sprint ota) vs custom rom (cm10). Custom rom gives you more tweaks, enhancements, better battery life, etc...
A little bit of googling for sprint nexus s 4g ics factory images will take you right to the google page with the factory images. After flashing the 4.0.4 image, the jb ota should arrive. Of course read all instructions before flashing, and you will lose all apps/data

what kernel are you using? I'm running marmite kernel 4.4 currently and I'm pretty happy with its performance and batt life.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Hello, just wondering if i can use marmite with slim bean? Im currently using CM 10 with the default kernel, on a Nexus S (3G? its not the 4G version)
If I can, any helpful links and procedures would be appreciated, for example what steps should be taken when switching roms and kernels.
Thanks!

Hi,
Slim Bean already has the marmite kernel in its ROM.
look here for info and installation
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/installation
The download section will lead you to the Crespo link... not the Crespo4G
Its an awesome ROM
good luck
I just flash slim bean 3.1 and it already had Gapps in the rom. I dont need to flash the gapps addon, do it? I actually wanted to flash the 4.2 gapps, its suppose to be compatible with any rom based on 4.XX and above.
Slimbean has Marmite in it as the default kernel. It runs very well. Was very nice but couldn't stand the very low compatibility rate with apps in the market... Many I sorely missed.
I haven't really noticed issues with app compatibility yet. Drop box wasnt compatible, but I just installed the apk, I have many of my essential apps backup on my drop box and titanium

If you're looking for core Android without Sense, look here...
4.1 - This one has been worked on fro a few months now. It's not updated often, but people seem to like it from the comments.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942239
4.2 - This one is in early stages of development, but it works pretty darn well. It's not clear if the developer is still working on it anymore or not though. So the state that it's in now may be the state it stays in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103459
Both have a few tweaks, but for the most part they are pure Android without the Sense overlay.
You can also use CyanogenMod CM10 and 10.1 ROMs and make them unction exactly like pure Android by not utilizing any of the special features and options.
If you want JellyBean with Sense...see the earlier comments in this thread. You're out of luck and will continue to be out of luck.
Thanks.
