Try out codename 3.0.1

Closed, I would advise you give a few roms a try, there is no such thing as a "best" rom or kernel for anything, a lot of it depends on what you need or want out of a rom, and your personal setup.

[Q] What's your favourite ICS ROM?

Hello NS community! I exchanged my Desire for my fiancee's NS and now I'm flash happy.
I intentionally did not ask what the BEST ROM was to avoid a flame war, so please share what you find to be your FAVOURITE ICS flavour.
Until now I tried CyberGR-MOD v1 but it was very unstable for me so I was unimpressed. Next up on the flash list are CM9 Alpha 18 and Peter Alfonso's ROM.
Suggestions?
Peter Alfonso ICS
Thanks, for now I'm running CM9 Alpha18 and seems to be quite stable.
I just flashed bixies' ROM last night and it seems to be very stable so far.
IMO, the real fun with Nexus S is the kernel, we have many great kernels for you to play with

Do tell!
Currently I'm using Matr1x-cfs_v14.0Matr1x-cfs_v14.0. OCed at 1460 and no FCs, no reboots, no freezes, just buttery smooth performance.
Slightly off-topic, but I have to say I'm terribly impressed withe the Nexus S - it's a very powerful device.

I've read good things about that ROM and I'll be sure to flash that next, if CM9 disappoints.

It has been feeling very smooth, at least in the few hours I've used it. We'll see how it goes.
AOSP+ and Matrix 14 cfs gives me a great combination of performance and battery life. I tried ICUP too and it gives great performance but battery life is better with Matrix.
So is CM9 smooth and stable enough to be used as my everyday ROM? Also, are there any posts or wikis about all the different kernels, guides on flashing and their pros and cons? My last dev device was a Blade and there weren't nearly as many different kernels and options available for that. Oh, and does CM9 come with a kernel..I don't need to flash anything else?

Yes CM9 comes with it's own kernel. It's a mod on the 3.0.8 kernel. CM9 been running on my phone for 6 days now without a single reboot and FC.

What I normally do is:
* do a full wipe (system, data, cache) if you are flashing a different ROM
* flash ROM first, reboot to make sure it runs properly
* flash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache (or also cache, just in case)
Always flash a ROM that says it supports your phone model. Also make sure that if you're using ICS ROM then flash an ICS kernel. On the other hand, if you're using GB ROM then flash a GB kernel.

it means that your phone cant handle the 1.44ghz cpu oc and 240mhz(20%) bus/gpu oc. not many phones can. every phone is different. some can oc high, some not so high, and some not at all. unfortunately, even though its the same phone, they can vary widely in performance.
aokp + matr1x
+1 derek.
AOKP build33 with Matr1x
AOKP B32 with air kernel. Runs quite nice. Although battery lasts only about 12h. On b31 with matr1x kernel I reached 15+h on my i9023 but it got unstable due to liveoc.
I like aokp a lot, but I am not sure about which is the best kernel. I think with the next milestone I will do a systematical test series.

[Q] What is the fastest JB combo ?

What will be the fastest and smoothest rom and kernel combo for Nexus S ?
I don't need features like cm and aokp or anything i just want a fast, stable, smooth ROM.
Actually i switched b/w Stock, AOSP, Paranoid, CM10 Nightly...
but i can't decide which one to stick with... so i decided that i just need fastness and smoothness...
Thanks in advance for the reply guys

You tested all these but didn't notice any difference? Then what does it matter if we suggest you something?
Want fast, smooth and stable? Don't need any extra feature? Then stock. Why look elsewhere.

I'm not saying that i didn't notice any difference but actually i tested all these over a month... so i don't actually remember the best one.. i'm just confused.. also i was looking for the community's opinions... what in your opinion would be the best... well correction stable is not for the matter... FAST AND SMOOTH IS ALL I WANT And so i am looking for a combo which gives me that..
thanks !
Try my rom...
Or any other cm10 rom with bedalus kernel...

If you're just looking for smooth,stable and minimal features: Rasbeanjelly with either trinity kernel or bedalus kernel.
Try stock rooted with marmite kernel or latest aokp with the same kernel.

Rom+Kernel advices.

I want a stable rom and kernel. The camera should be able to take 8MB pics and capture 1080p video. If possible I want JB or ICS.
please help. I have been seeking for rom and kernel for a long time. The developers does not give understandable specs like openly for me...

official CM 7.2 is my recommendation.
ICS and JB are not fully working and since you want a stable one I'd stay away from those.
Alright then I guess I need to tell like '' the most stable ROM and Kernel among the JB and ICS. Guys please help me! Camera should work 1080p

The only way that will work is on Adampk's and Mazout360's CM10.1 Rom Build 7 which is the only rom that has full HWA to make the camera work properly. Downside is that the Radio (Cellular Network) will NOT work. This means no calls, SMS, data, etc. Anything to do with your Mobile Network will not work.

If you want stable and fast then I highly recommended Singh-ui.

can it capture 1080p and is it gb 2.3.7 or what ? also I have kamasha 4.1.1 with stock kernel (which comes with the rom) I guess it is cm 9 so I can hopefully use harsh kernel right ?

You're using the faux DS kernel. Use his regular CM one.

If you have problems with Faux kernels try Trinitys. I could never get Faux's kernels to play nice with my phone and while they ran smoother the random reboots, black screens and having to keep phone from sleeping just killed it for me.
This was oh stock voltage as well.

guys I think the best rom is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420972 that one for me! At least the developer tells the specs of the rom clearly... I just did not understand how to install v6supercharger, it seems hard to do.
I currently have KashaMalaga (jb 4.1.1.) with harsh kernel 1.4 GHZ everything's looking pretty stable except camera ( no 1080p ) well I'll go with that for a while than maybe install above rom and hopefully v6supercharger
I installed Hellfire cm7 GB 2.3.7. with v6 supercharger. All fine but screen sensitivity is really low.

I'm using CM7.2 stable with Wolfscript and Harsh kernel and my phone is flying! Very stable and very fast (after Wolf script), though battery life has taken a hit after running the script. My next flash will be Mazout360's dual-boot CM10.1 unofficial with a GB ROM as my daily (still haven't decided which - they're all so good! )
