Hi guys I have gone from one ROM to another all professing to be the smoothest or most stable but all have left some what of a bitter taste in my mouth. My current ROM seems to be the most stable and have all the basic modcons working AndroidHD v1.0 | ICS
So I’m on a UK I9020 and I’m like preferably ICS over GB and main important points to consider for me would be
Battery Life, Stable, and Fast,
I am a bit of a power user but the ROM don’t have to have to many mods or sparkles just need something that doesn’t reboot at least twice a day and gives me battery life for 12 hours plus with fair use of apps and internet.
Please help at the end of my tether
yeah i'm in the same spot...i have been trying some ics roms and many claim "fast & stable & rock solid & butter smooth" etc
But they dont feel that way to me...i really like ics but i think its still slowish. GB is way faster.
Currently on codenameandroid 1.2.0 with matr1x 15.5 cfs
Come on guys don't all hide now lol, need your applied knowledge. Some one must have some thing they can recommend
try AndroidMe 1.1.0 not a single issue for me ,when on others ics roms i had fcs and reboots.
battery life around 16h with 3h of 3g and 3h screen on with brightness set at 68%.
CM 9 1.1 has been stable and brutally fast, better than stock IMHO. Only thing missing is FB sync.

Only thing thats kept me from CM roms is the worry that apps wont work with them, what sort of uptime do you get?
kangy v10 or AOKP milestone 3, damn good , with Matr1x kernel.
smooth , stable , battery friendly
im using the last cm9 kang with a bare boned(no mods added) trinity kernel, not a single stutter or speed bumbs. fast, stable, and everything works.
Now I'm using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS, well, as far as I can tell, it is quite stable and battery is not draining so fast.
Try some roms with AOSP tags, these roms have less modifications and mods, and maybe have a better better performance.

just tried a few roms. sorry to say that the stock rom is the best, so far.
Stock is stable, but a bit slow. but the slow problem is same in other custom roms.
I don't have the problem of battery drain.
Downloading 4.0.4 rom ported from NS4G. Hope it fix the speed problem.
Don't want to use 2.3 anymore, though 2.3 is fast and stable
I tried these custom roms -
Mv 2.1.27, 2.1.28(cm9) lots of added features, but less stable than stock
Miui - although I am a Chinese, don't like this Chinese rom.
Slow. Don't know the cause. Rom still in alpha? Or wasting CPU power on beautiful ui?
Unfamiliar ui Is another problem. Not my cup of coffee

No reboots on stock kernel and CPU speed. Overall, I've found all ICS ROMs to be moe robust than gimgerbread, with very little issues.
I am currently running beans custom stock ROM v5 and I haven't ran synergy yet but I was wondering which ROM was better. Before I get Beans v6 I'd like to have some input on which ROM was better based on battery life/other things.

Well I started with bean R2 when I first rooted. Then tried synergy which my buddy had phenomenal battery life with. I however didn't even though I was running less and theoretically should have had better. I gave it a week but didn't see any improvement. Went back to bean but tried his updated 3.1. Was better than synergy In my opinion as far as battery life goes but had some quarks with it. Next day he came out with V5 so I flashed that. Had worse battery life than 3.1 but better than synergy. Meanwhile my buddy was still getting better battery life with his synergy. I decided to go back to the original R2 I had at first. It is the best performing For ME. I would try each and see what you like better. I was on my the boat all day today (again, currently running R2) and got 84% 12 hours. Keep in mind most of that was minimal use of texts and web browsing. Mist was screen off with with setcpu screen off profile (348). Still was nice to have a full day with it turned on even if screen was off and then still have a full battery to use when I got off the river.
For me...bean R2 for the win. I don't mind wiping and trying a promising ROM but I also like having a solid ROM that gets me what I want/need without having to worry about what the next new thing is.

I'm also using beans r6. Everything seems a lot smoother...but my phone does run hot. He has the default CPU set at 1.9 gighz. Sometimes it doesn't clock down with the app. I'm going to try synergy when they release the new version...but its hard not to like beans.

I used both, beans r5 kept rebooting on me but the battery life seemed better than stock. Then i switched to synergy 1.3 and it is an awesome rom. 4x5 homescreen alone is worth the upgrade from bean, but the battery is just a little less than bean r5. I have no tried r6 but i dont think i will because i just flashed CM10 an hour ago and couldint be happier. I forgot how much i miss stock android JB (used to have galaxy nexus). its a lot smoother and better to use and look at obviously. Only thing i dislike about the rom is the hardware buttons back and menu dont turn off they stay on if the screen is on, but its not that bad. I saw Flash CM10 you will be happy!
CM10 is a half working rom at this point, don't know how anybody uses it as a reliable daily driver, as for clocking on Bean's rom, you can control it yourself, just run the cpu bin from a terminal window, or use rom tools or setcpu
I use beans but I use beans 3.1 before the stupid overclocked kernel and before kexec kernel /recovery

the overclock issue is fixed...beans b6 rocks! actually i never had that issue anyways.
I think I'm going to stick with beans r6 I'm loving the jelly bean theme. If your complaining about battery on beans because of the kernel just under clock it or use power saving, your phone will not run hot and you will get better battery life. If you want a higher clock speed use 1512 or 1674 MHz, you may run a little hotter and your battery may drop a little faster than if you were on power saving though.

I have to disagree strongly with the assertion that CM10 is a "half working rom." If you're not one of the people experiencing data connectivity issues, the current bugs are: bluetooth audio, MMS, camera autofocus with stock camera app (for some), and that native wifi tethering only works unsecured (usb & bluetooth tethering work fine.)
I used it as my daily driver from 7/21 on, and the only thing I personally missed was secure wifi tethering. If the above bugs don't affect things that you use, CM10 is much snappier overall than any of the 4.0 based roms.
I actually decided to try Beans again just to see if I missed any touchwiz features (smart stay, direct dial, etc.)
synergy
I'm currently running synergy v1.3, but i liked v1.2 a lot better. Mainly because the grid size was changed so now widgets look a little weird on my phone =/ but other than that i haven't had a problem. Battery life is insanely good. I used bean's rom when it first came out, got me 50gb of dropbox for free which was awesome. The stock apps weren't on the first build though, that's why i switched over to synergy. I think Bean's rom has them back on though. I suggest trying them both and making backups, they're both very good
Yea Im running Beans v6 just upgraded from either 3 or 2, and yea its wicked fast. I guess with Synergy there are more themes but they should work on Beans too. Anyway it is definitely worth a try just backup beforehand :good:

yeah synergy 1.4 just came out late last night, and it is nice with the google now baked in. try it out
They are both good. It's a subjective preference and you won't know which you prefer until you try both.

LOL, all those bugs certainly sound like it is half working (or not working depending on how you look at it).
I tried it for a few days & will definitely agree that's it's way to buggy to be a daily driver at this point.
IMHO, to be a daily driver all the native functions the system came with have to work 100%
Yeah synergy 1.4 is insanely snappy and quick. To a noticeable degree. I love v6 of beans though, but synergy just goes without having to be pushed
But I still use both just to get my flash fix, lol. Beans has more of what I'm looking for (aosp theme) with stock feel.

Just the thread I was looking for! I am currently getting tired of the random bugs with CM10, but I'm wondering if I can just flash Synergy or Beans the way I have been flashing CM10 builds using the Kexec recovery. It looks like Beans does this method, but I just want to confirm before I brick my phone
Synergy
I'm using Synergy atm and I love it so far..... Battery life is amazing....

I think both are great RomS. I personally have synergy installed right now because it was just released. There are some things I like about synergy and some things I like about beans. With beans you can flash different kernels without any problems but when I try to flash different kernels on the synergy1.4 I keep getting bootloop. Beans and synergy both seem to be pretty good on batter but I also use CPU sleeper which might also help.

Yeah. 1.4 isn't compatible with custom kernels, I'm waiting for a possible fix until I flash 1.4 just because Imoseyons lean kernel is amazing on this phone. I've gotten a day and a half on a single charge with 4 he's and 29 minutes in screen time..plus I also use CPU sleeper with the lean kernel you can also have your phone speed charge..and I mean really fast compared to stock.

Hello,
at the moment i am using Jellytime. For now i am happy with this, but i think the battery life could be just better. So which rom from above offers you the best battery lifetime?
im using pacman.. the battery life is good.. i can use the phone the whole day(surfing, internet, texting, music...).. i always plug my phone in before going to bed, and i still have around 10% left

Me too. Battery life is very short using Pacman v18.0, at most 5 hours. The screen is the process that consumes more battery. Maybe it is only a my problem, but with Fallout v.5 I didn't have this problem (but others :laugh.
Well I find the battery life good on pure CM10.
If it wasnt for the graphics glitches when browsing, it'd be a really good ROM!
I have installed Pacman v18.0 about 3 days ago and am very impressed with the ROM. No problem with battery life but one major problem with the phone randomly going into Sim Lock mode. Could be after 5 minutes, could be after 5 hours and sometimes while just using it.
PACman, way to go.
I'm using Andromadus CM10.1 and battery is good...Overall is good except Bluetooth that doesn't work yet...

Mine has about an hours worth of battery...
For now I'm switching to my sense rom
On the latest build (build 10) of Andromadus 10.1 I found that the bluetooth was fixed!
Overall, at this time, I believe that the 3 andromadus ROMs are by far the best Jellybean effords!
Thank GOD I got here...
Could someone help me with rom that includes these features?
1. The official ics look (nexus ics)
2. That includes all apps like the sensed ics got. (fM radio,voice recorder,youtube etc)
3. My wifi doesnt turn on when i use any custom rom It just says "Turning on wifi" for the whole day.
4. The settings tab normal (not the tablet type like pacman got)
....
Thanks

some people prefer to UV their kernels. Some people don't prefer. Some kernels allow UV, some don't. see it all comes down to preference,of course UV also may cause performance to decrease. so it stills come down to preference.

Hmm, when ppl say try it yourself, it simply means that u would have to flash the rom to know what's best for u.
Everyone uses his/her phone differently, so basicly there is no ideal rom that pleases everyone.
Everyone will you give a different opinion in terms of battery/speed/etc. That's why it is a bit pointless in asking what's the "best rom" for the other person when the usage is different.
So no point having second doubt and just flash the phone, try every single rom, i have flash from sense to cm to ics and now back to gb.
Go ahead and experiment the roms for yourself. Today someone might give u a suggestion, the next day a another. that's why it is consider pointless in asking such question as 'which is the best can u recommend me' and much better to try it for yourself instead of being shortchange in case there is another better than that is being suggested.

I'm currently running latest stock Android 4.1.2 on my Nexus S. It appears that official Google support has come to an end and therefore there is no point keeping the original software. It also seems to me that current version of Android on Nexus isn't exactly a good example of well optimized software which is the reason why I'm looking for an alternative.
My requirements are speed, stability and possibly better battery life. Extra functionality is not important, I'm happy with 4.1.2 as it is. However I don't want to downgrade to ICS not to mention Gingerbread.
So could you recommend me a good alternative rom for Nexus S, based on your own experience? I'm currently thinking of CyanogenMod because there is plenty of people behind it and its really famous so I guess it should be stable and reliable but I haven't decided yet. What do you think?
I use AOKP with the marmite kernel. Works great.

Same here currently on cm 10 stable with default kernel for weeks now it's been really fast and stable. Was surprised. I had tried cm10 when it came out for our device and it was pretty bad stability and battery wise so I went to aosp roms....

Another vote for CM10. I'm currently using the new rasbean, but if 4.1.2 is good with you, I'm not sure anything can beat the stability of the stable version of CM10.
Having tried tons of amazing ROMs on ICS, I feel there were more stable and fluid options than with 4.1... That's not to say 4.1 didn't have great ROMs, I'm just saying that it was harder to find a stable, speedy, efficient 4.1 ROM... If you want to stay with 4.1, then I can only vouch for BAKEDbean 6... I haven't tried as many 4.1's as I did with 4.0... From memory, Slim Bean was pretty good... I just didn't like some of the included options...
Now here's what I can say about 4.2 ROMs... Since you don't mind missing some included features like theme chooser, statusbar tweaks, etc... Then I would highly suggest Rasbean with Matr1x CFS 24.0 (non-cm version)... I always told myself that I would never use a ROM without theme chooser... But after trying this ROM, I've discovered that speed and fluidity is way more important to me than a few extra features... This ROM is amazing... I'm getting much better battery life with this combo than with any 4.1 combo I tried... At the very least, give it a try
*edit* in case you see reviews or read somewhere that it's not a "stable" release... I would ignore that crap because I haven't had a single issue with this ROM other than the phone app fc'ing after some calls which is 4G related... and since you're on crespo, you won't have that problem... Everything works on this ROM!!!

Moved to Q&A section....thank you.
Hey, thanks to all of you guys. I switched to CyanogenMod 10 since many of you have recommended it and it also seemed to me pretty solid and reliable. Nexus S now does seem a little bit faster and more fluid however it's hard to tell after less than a day of using it. I won't go back anyway, those few extra features are really nice. My problem with stock JB was that it suffered from some kind of memory leak... quite often I ended up with literally 0 MB of free ram. The phone also got quite often to a state of total unresponsiveness for few moments without any obvious reason. None of these problem has occured in CM so far however for example during heavy usage, when I go back to home screen, the launcher is really slow (1-2fps) for few seconds. But I guess I can't expect much from 2 year old hardware.
You also mentioned several alternative kernels... what can I expect from that in daily usage?

I have not an ounce of lag on rasbean 4.2.1... I didn't think it would get better than 4.1 but it clearly does... I don't think everyone that recommended cm10 has even tried a 4.2 ROM yet... BTW, cm10.1 will be released soon and I'm sure everyone with update then...
For kernel, use airkernel or matr1x... Think of the kernel as the brain of the phone... It tells the phone what to so with the hardware... So you can tweak things foe better speed or better battery or even attempt to get a good balance between the two...
My last time mentioning it... I would strongly recommend you to backup your current setup and flash the 4.2 ROM with matr1x 24.0... That is all

Really it does work that well? Hmm then it is really sad that Google has cut off Nexus S from official updates. I will definitely try 4.2 but I will probably wait for CM 10.1 if you say it will be released soon.

Well I know what the kernel is (I have been using Linux on my desktop for several years ) I was just curious how one can benefit from using an alternative kernel for Android. You say I can tweak things for better speed or battery life... does it mean that I can for example sacrifice 30% of battery life and exchange it for 30% of performance in gaming? What are the limits of this tweaking?
So lately I've been working late and I am allowed to use my phone to listen to music at work. On days that I work late, I am forced to bring my phone charger to work because it doesn't last me all day, not even close. According to my battery page in settings, I've had a screen time of only 40 minutes today, and listened to roughly only 20 minutes of music with a few short texts sent here and there and I'm already down to 74% battery life. I am running the most recent official Liquidsmooth (2.3 release) and have my brightness turned way down, and the CPU turned down to a max of 1124Mhz. I am also running the kernel that comes with the ROM, which I'm almost positive is LeanKernel.
Is it normal to be draining my battery this fast with not even an hour of screen time and barely using it? I even turn off data usage when I don't use my phone because I'm concerned about battery life. Is there anything I can do to improve battery life? I don't even touch the Voltage Settings and Advanced Settings under the Performance section, because I don't want to touch anything I don't know what to do or what settings make the ROM unstable. Anyone who can suggest good settings for more stable battery life, even if it sacrifices performance would be a huge help too! Thank you in advanced

Hear hear. Great rom but something is burning my battery in this rom.

The correct kernel is the AOSP 3.4 Linux version. That being said I just flashed that kernel with 2.2 last night and it seized up my phone. Nandroid now. So that was a bad night.

Thanks! I downloaded and flashed it. No problems here. Just need to find the correct tweaks for better battery life.
Let me know what you find. I'm still on the stock lean kernel for LS
I'm curious as well what these battery tweaks are. I installed liquidsmooth 2.4 over the weekend and have since moved back to my rooted stock primarily because of battery drain. I really like the aosp interface but can't afford to have it rape my battery. I was getting like 6 Hrs only on a charge. With my stock rooted rom I get about 19 Hrs on a full charge.
I am using liquidsmooth 2.4 and have been going for 17hrs today still got 20% left. I have the lean kernel that it flashes with and never had battery issues.

Wow that's impressive. Did you do a clean install of the rom or did you do a upgrade from a previous version? Did you have do any post install tweaks other than the usual (settting screen brightness to low and etc)?

Clean install of the rom. I actually came from hyper drive. No other tweaks done. I leave anything off that I am not using. Don't leave nfc or bluetooth on. Don't use sync for very much.

Today I took it off charge at 6 and I have used 92 minutes of talk time, 50 texts(kinda low), xda, email, Internet, YouTube, and some other forums and I still have 42 percent. Other than text messages I would say I have used the phone moderate to heavy.
