Hi, All NS4G User! Kwiboo.ICS.V3 or Koush.Alpha10

Please tell us which one you are using now and How is it?
I'm using Koush A10, have to say I love it. I did see any bug so far(2 days)
I was using Kwiboo 1.5, i was really good too.(However USB and camcorder was work.)
Compare to to Kwiboo's rom koush's one seems like a little laggy.
So tell me which one you using?

Kwiboo rom is the fastest but aosp rom has the most features and the only one to have home screen landscape mode but koush rom is the first I tried with the most working features idk if one is better than the other

Both are nice. I had the fewest problems with Koush.
The speed is just not there though. After a full bug-free day with Koush I went back to 2.3.7 because it's just so much faster. I'm not encouraged about ICS on this device.

Netiher, tried them both and I must say they are good but they don't even touch AOSP's ICS rom. Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364221
This has been rock solid so far only thing I can see that is missing is 4G.

It does that to me too and I'm guessing the stock browser dosent have the proper files in order to download, so in that case it won't download anything. But I've been using xscope to to download roms, kernels, etc.. for now.

there's really no comparing any ics build with aosp's. . .
i'm so thankful for it. seemed like gsm nexus s was getting all the ics love

Yeah didn't work for me but I'm not to concerned.Still like this one the best for my use. I know everyone has different opinions and that's whats cool.

Neither
I was on oICS, liked it better than the 2 that the OP mentioned, but now I'm on Brainmasters build for NS4G, & for my phone, it's the best. Out of the box it's faster & smoother than the other builds, even with custom kernels & overclocking.

Can you tell us which files are missing from the browser??
I could have sworn the problem was in permissions or a lib file.
I could download some files, but not others. For instance, I could download MathKids v11 kernel, but not 11.5. Crazy.

I'm on BM v6 (Koush a11) here, with franco's 26/11 kernel. It's blazing fast.

Bm v6 is based on AOSP's ICS rom not Koush's. I do agree its blazing fast and good battery life!

Another vote for AOSP's v13. It's great, smooth and cant wait for v14.

See my sig for my setup; it's been working great for me.

He has a couple versions, one of which is based on Koush I believe.

How does AOSP's ICS ROM compare to a 2.3 ROM like CM7? In my testing of Koush's and another ICS ROM, I couldn't believe how sluggish my NS4G was.

Sweet and obnoxious username choice all at the same time.

I think he means the dev, asop. But yeah, asop's for me atleast has been the snappiest.
Follow the leader @corythug

Friends, I am a lot more confused as which ROM is better... Didn't wanted to test myself was waitin for someone to do it for lazy folks like me... however, the anxiety of ICS can't be kept in back drop any longer... while I type this response I taking backup of data on NS... will try kwiboo's ROM - as it was the first post for ICS port I read... However, I see inclination of couple folks for AOSP ROM... I'll wait for a couple of hrs, if there is one more vote for AOSP I'll try it...

I've tried every ics versions kwiboo and koush's
Brainmaster 's. V6 with kwiboo 's v3 is the best.
Thanks

Hello ,

I am talking about ICS Roms and you can also post benchmarks to help me deside.

Now istalling GummyNex 0.7.7 I Will tell you what I think of it. Achter installimg of course. But it should have a lot of tweaks hand stuff!!

I think KANGY11 is the best. I've tried many but that one beats everthing. Try it with Glados 2.9 and you will have a excellent batterylife!

for me Apex by Bigxie is Da Bomb

CyberGRv7 ICS Rom is MINT!!

I'd say CyberGR's v7 as well, have it on my own nexus, works like a charm
15½ hours on battery , still 74% battery left.

I'm agree. I use CyberGR V7. It's a great ROM. I've tested some another, but I have great battery/perf/functions with CyberGR.

I really like CyberGR v7. Has been pretty stable (I have not experienced any reboots or FCs), really fast and good battery life.

Have you upgraded to Apex 1.0.2 yet? I tried, but after flashing my wifi worked great but 3G would not connect.

It's hard to say "this ROM is best!" for anyone, it depends what your looking for in a ROM. If battery life is your main concern, I'd second CyberGR v7.
Performance? Personally I like Codename Android with matr1x kernel (mainly because of 1.46Ghz OC.)

Bugless petes for best of everything!

Damn. Figured out what happened here. I checked my APN. Set it and it works great now.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I'd give my vote to CyanogenMod 9 (v3.4 atm). Get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035. I used to use MIUI but switched to CM when ICS came out and have still not found a reason to search any further.

I've gone from CyberGR v7 to Oodie's MIUI and now on nuhetri v2.3.0.
I think MIUI is still a bit laggy, but it's coming through fast.
Nuhetri is working pretty good for me. A would still need to check battery life on it, but it's pretty fast!

Nuhetri or cna v1.4.0 ! I have cna atm with air kernel 3.3 overclocked to 1400mhz. soooo smooth! And batterylife is pretty good

IMM26 BY evilisto is best.

Which rom are you talking about?
The best rom so far is cybergr with air kernel. Great battery and no lag
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Hard to say which ROM is the best because they all have their pluses and minuses. Same can be said for kernels; each kernel will perform differently according to which ROM you choose. I'd suggest reading through the ROM ops and selecting the one you like based on features and theme. Once you've found a ROM you like, flash several different kernels to find one that is most compatible (also doesn't hurt to read kernel ops as well for feature details). This process, although a little more time consuming, will likely give you better results than relying on the objective opinion of others. Also, bedalas compiled some awesome reference guides on on room and kernel performance that's a must read for anyone looking to get the most out of their device.

[ROM][2.3.7] Stock Samsung GingerBread ROM - in progress

Let me make it simple.
Stock GingerBread for Galaxy 3​

Hi all !!
I'am back here and would like to create a more or less stock samsung ics rom !!
I have downloaded the stock Samsung galaxy S2 ics rom.
My aims in making it:
-Stock Samsung theme
-Porting TouchWiz (if possible!)
-Providing both odexed & deodexed versions.
Something more ??
Post your views of what can be added!!
This ROM can be a base ROM for other custom builds !!
Firstly, which ICS build should i take to build this ??
Serenity by hilleast
(or)
Rubelsollie's AOKP/CM9
(or)
icsforg3's AOSP
(or)
any other build which i forgot ???? (sorry if forgot mention your build !!:silly
On the other hand, i really cannot download the full git repository with a 60 kb/s connection. Also, i'm a noob in building things from sources !! That's why i'm using other dev's build to make this !!!
Your comments are awaited the most !!
I strongly believe that we'll get a fully working ics from our beloved, hard working dev's !!! :victory::highfive:

Serenity at top because it is active on forum!
Sent from my GT-I5801 using xda app-developers app

you can give it a go, but i'm not sure if its possible without fully working fimg gpu drivers

also i;ve tried aokp and serenity both. they're both good. but AOKP has fixed phone.apk while in serenity it crashes which was fixed.

I suggest: AOKP build 2 (camera works) or AOKP build 4 (camera doesn't work but there is a theme chooser)

Thanks for your replies !!
Currently AOKP build 2 and Serenity looks good.
So, which one should i finalize ??

Serenity is based on CM9 RC1 so camera, phone.apk and much more stuff doesn't work. A lot of people can't use serenity as daily rom. AOKP build 2 is 4.0.3 and "not working list" is the same as ICS forg3 build 4.

I think AOKP rom! That is the best rom! ....already has build 3 and build 4!
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda app-developers app

I think Serinity is better.

I dont really like AOKP but i would use Serenity providing you fix the phone.apk from crashing

I think that not working camera eliminates serenity. Serenity brings only theme chooser, but this rom will have stock samsung theme as default i think, so TC is useless. A lot of people want working camera, even without preview. On serenity it's impossible without kernel 3.0. So i suggest AOKP build 2.

I think you have to try MPICS 3.0. Quite stable and fast ROM:cyclops:

in hungary it is said that "for who the priest for who the clergyman's wife"

I think that icsforg3's AOSP is the best. Phone.apk and Camera are working. Try build 4 update 1.
It's true that in this ROM theme chooser doesn't work. For me this ROm can be used daily.
BTW Good luck with your project

AOKP is based on AOSP by ICS4G3...

Yep, and has a lot of tweaks, it's smooth, no Fc's.... perfect for a daily usage.

@OP
I'd suggest to go for Hillbeasts Serenity as he might solve some more thingys in future....he's looking towards JB

Well it's great that you are trying to port the ICS rom but personally i would suggest to try the GB rom. But yeah, it your choice so good luck! :good:

It is good to see another Samsung interface lover
I don't think you will be able to port stock touchwiz4 for our mobile. I think it can only work on arm v7 phones
But on xda there might be someone else who has tried to get it to work on arm v6 too

lots of recommendations... Thanks for that !....i have to finalize it soon so that i can ask the dev to make use of his work!!

your question is somewhat synonymous to
"what is the best rom"
hmmmmm

well i think cm9 is better as it very smooth but as of now miui V4 is based on cm9 only so it is also gud but the UI is better in cm9 now choice is urs

I have faceed this very problem chosing between CM9 and MIUI. If you are into looks then you should try MIUI. You can get a lot of themes and customization(even the status bar) but it's not much of a battery saving ROM.
If you are looking for better performance and battery efficiency then try CM9. It is in alpha stage currently but soon a stable beta will be released.
