I'd assume yes. Not sure if there has been a definite yes or no yet.

[Q] Confused by all the ICS ROM Variants

I'm itching to flash my NS4G with ICS and I'm unlocked, rooted, and ready to go.
I want to start out with something as close to a stock installation as possible, and I have read numerous other posts about "stock ICS." But what/where is "stock" ICS?
All the ROM's in the NS 4G Forum seem to have their own level of tweaks and enhancements (and accompanying bugs.)
All I want is something close to pure ICS with, prehaps, a kernel that can be overclocked.
Appreciate the insight of those who know. Thanks!

Stock is probably equivalent to AOSP source, unaltered.

Thanks...but where do I find it? There are at least 4 different ROM's that have the ASOP moniker.

I would suggest Peter Alfonso's build

Before you go any further consider the Slim ICS ROM in the dev section.

I couldn't find Pete's ROM on XDA but found it on his site... would it be pete_crespo4g_ota_01-11-12.zip for the NS4G?

i suggest you: Cyanogenmod 9 NS4G
you will find all the information you need in this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403247

Yes use Pete crespo
But I believe someone ported the OTA ICS update and that's what your looking for.

[Q] PDroid on the Nexus S i9023

Hi there. I'm new to the Nexus S. Bought a second hand one after my first Android phone (galaxy ace) died due to water damage. After a week of reading I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone.
Now here is my question, I am a big fan of PDroid wich currently only runs on gingerbread. I really love the ICS interface but until PDroid can run on ICS I am looking for good deodexed gingerbread Rom. So I would like to ask your opinions on the GB roms.

I tried finding Nexbreed on XDA but the thread was closed due to warez. Did you get it from a different site?
Thanks anyway. Someone else opened a post about GB roms and alot of people are recommending Oxygen so ill have a look there.

I ve downloaded it in Rom Manager. Oxygen is good too but i prefer Nexbreed because for Oxygen you have to wipe cache and i need my cache.

Ah ok.. I never used rommanager because it bricked the galaxy ace. But I'm guessing you can download from within the app. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Rommanager is a great app! I can reflash Cwm from within! So I downloaded nexbreed. I am on ICS 4.0.4 do you know if I their are any issues with downgrading to gb?

Nope just do a full wipe beforehand, ie /system, /data, /boot and then flash it

Bugless Beast and Carbon are both good roms too

Nexbreed is a good one try it out.

Thanks for the input! I'll give it a try tonight.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

So I made a PDroid patch, flashed nexbreed had a little problem with super user (didn't seem to work) just reflashed the one I still had from rooting. Flashed PDroid an all works well! Later I will try the other GB roms you all advised but for now nexbreed is looking really fast and stable. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. And let's hope ICS support for PDroid will be out soon

After trying nexbreed for a few days I am happy with it and want to see what else is out there.. I downloaded oxygen and bugless beast but both where odexed. And for PDroid I need a deodexed Rom. So any suggestions for a deodexed gingerbread Rom would be much appreciated
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Seems my PDroid patcher was a bit off, not sure why but no matter what rom I gave it to patch it said it was not deodexed. After reinstalling a different version of PDroid all was good. So I made a successful patch of blandroid and the Pete Crespo rom. I'll have a look at them tomorrow.

[Q] Android 4.2 Port?

Does anyone know about progress on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean ports for our beloved Nexus S? Will it be possible? I read earlier today that Google is not supporting the Nexus S anymore, so does that mean that the ROMs will be slightly buggier (lacking camera functionality, etc.)?
I'm honestly getting slightly jealous about looking at the Galaxy Nexus forum and all of the new ROMs being produced...

GAPPS is needed before any sort of porting starts.. The gapps package needed to run 4.2 is a far departure from 4.1.2. So.. It's a waiting game for a 4.2 GAPPs package.
For me at least..

Give it some time it just came out.

What's Gonna be the First Custom Rom?

I don't mean like the stock rom rooted, i mean a port of CM or MIUI that's stable. What do you hope to be the first stable custom rom?
Personally, I've used Miui since i had my first Droid X, used it on my Nexus as well. Hoping for it on my S5 some time

I bet it will be a hyperdrive rom ran through safestrap.

I've ported roms myself to my galaxy nexus prior, but obviously with not much known about the S5, i'm not sure I wanna risk self porting. I'm trying to port a CM rom

We aren't going to see any of those ported to the normal vzw s5 because we have a locked bootloader. All we'll see, for now, is touchwiz.

Don't be so sure of that. The S4's is still locked (NON MDK) for almost a year now with no success. There's plenty of good TW based ROMs though, Eclipse being my favorite which he said when he gets an S5 he will create one.

I HOPE SO!!! Loved Hyper on my GS4. Almost went back to it since we didn't have root. SUPER glad we are making progress towards getting ROMS, root & SS. Who is the maker of HD?? Any rumblings around the GS5 HD ROM??

I don't care which one comes out first, as long as it's dark...

Comming from a GT- i9100 using CM I was hoping to see one for the sm-G900v. Any reason why it may not be done?

Bootloader is locked on this device, and likely won't ever get cracked. So no custom recoveries which means no custom kernels and no custom ROMs. There is only safestrap which will only allow you to flash touchwiz based ROMs, so no AOSP based ROMs.

So basically if we want to have any flashing fun we need to get a different phone.
