Sick of Lag - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I've had it with my phone lagging, I'm running aosp 4.1 JR00L. Is 4.2 any better?
I've been only hearing good things about rasbean and trinity kernal, so can somebody please link me to it because I can't find it in the developer section.
If I don't like rasbean then can I just download cm from their website and flash cm7/cm9 (I don't have to flash any other stuff like gaps, or a new kernal do I?)
I appreciate the help.

here is the link of rasbeanjelly
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=crespo
if you flash cm7 or cm9 you'll have to flash gapps.

How do you flash your roms? And what kernel do you use? Try running bedalus kernel as it has bigmem. This can reduce lag as well.
And you'll definitely like rasbeanjelly with trinity kernel.
Rom: see above link
Trinity Kernel: www.derkernel.com
Bedalus kernel: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AntDDKv-lS6IdEt6NWVkX01vNmpfbEh4MHo4eDRCbXc (choose 6.2 for any rom)

I would try stock 4.1.2 with Matr1x kernel
has been nothing but butter for me with great battery life.

@noloukos thanks for the link but I decided to go slim instead
@kwibis I flash my roms according to this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522827) and normally use the kernal included w/ the rom \
@chappy824 I've tried matr1x numerous times, but things get choppy, my phone seams to not like it.
Anyway, I gave aosp strawberry a run and it was ok but now I have slim a run and it has been very very smooth, I mean 0 lag.
:good:Thanks for the help, but I think slim is the rom for me

Hi,
I'm a slim user also....
make a backup ASAP before u clog it with all ur apps.
And when lag happen(eventually it will), try different kernels since every phone is moody on what kernel it accepts.
Good luck

try apps like goomanager,rom toolbox pro or rom manager they check automatically for updates for your installed rom and all the compatible roms for your device

So does the incorporated one. It is just totally functional yet. It will not just reboot and install. You have to download the update and flash like usual.

Do you just flash over your current set up or do you wipe, then do the whole process again?

You can just flash over top if you are running 2.7 or higher.

Which ROM should I use?

Hey. I'm getting my Nexus S 4g tomorrow and giving up my EVO Shift. Tired of the added bulk with the keyboard. Anyway I'm looking for a ROM that is pure aosp (no cm7) but has facebook sync. Any recommendations?
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
BuglessPete's GPA rom, its the best out there, pure aosp, and has facebook sync. That in combination with the matrix kernel is a killer combo. I've tried other roms and kernels, but these two are what I always go back to.

You might wanna try oxygen also, It's very stable and has minimal features.
i can say , more stock , more stable , more battery life ...
---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------
and , consider another option which is hang out with stock for another moth and wait for update to Android 4.0 ...
Nexus MV has the extra necessary features, and a good battery life.
Lurve it.
Another vote for Oxygen here. It's pretty minimalistic but has some nice features and works well for what I need.
try them all, use the one that YOU enjoy
Bugless Beast, MIUI.us and NSCollab- I highly recommend mathkid95's Matr1x kernel for best battery. Always wipe cache/dalvik 1st!
I recomend MIUI

Pete's Kernel is great. I don't know his ROM.

No custom kernel on stock?

I have never used a stock rom unless I bought a new phone and was working on installing a custom one, so I'm new to stock roms. I have the stock JB rom and I tried to flash air kernel to my device. As I was booting up, it wouldn't go past the Google splash screen. Are custom kernels not supported on stock roms?
Sent from my A500
I've flashed custom kernels on rooted stock plenty of times. It may just be that Air Kernel is having issues with some phones. I know SimpleKernel works, but it's basically stock with BLN and Voodoo. A few people on JellyBelly ROM had issues with Air Kernel too, so it's not just stock that's having issues with it.
OK. Do you know if matr1x kernel works or not?

sorry to bother again lol, but im kinda a newbie at this, do you have a link for the kernels? and also do i install the kernel after the cm7 rom?
I personally run the cm10 nightly build 4 since it finally stable but for ICS I would suggest paranoid android ICS. If u r looking for gingerbread, might I suggest MIUI for 2.3.7, it runs smoothly with no bugs (well for me). Hope that helped

Yeah, you install the kernel after the cm7 rom. What I did was install cm7 and gapps (The Google Play store and all google apps) first and booted to make sure that everything was working. Then I turned off my phone, booted back into Clockworkmod (By holding down volume down and power button) and flashing the kernel zip.
here's the link to trinity kernel:http://goo.gl/XqDn2
And personally, I would stick to Gingerbread for the time being, ICS and CM10 are still pretty buggy. Once the official ICS comes out, we will be getting a stable CM10 build, but until then I would stick to gingergread.
Here's some info I posted in another thread:
helloha1 said:
I first used this to gain root access:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.html . It's a simple one-click process.
Then I followed this guide from step 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715. I personally used CyanogenMod 7.2 http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2856/cm-7.2.0-p999.zip .
Optionally, you can also flash a kernel: Trinity ELP(http://goo.gl/XqDn2) and Faux52 LG (http://faux.androidro.ms/P999-CM-Kernel-052-sv-lg-stable.zip)seem to be the most popular... Instructions to flash the Kernel:
If one of the kernels gives you issues, try flashing the other one.
I'm pretty noobish to this as well, considering i only flashed my phone a couple days ago, but I used this procedure and it didn't give me any problems at all.

Nope, you have to install gapps seperately. It's because of google licensing issues. I'm pretty sure most ROMS are that way.

Before jumping right to Trinity and telling others to do the same, did you bother trying an older release? I used build 48 & 50 for a long time myself.

I didn't because I had already installed trinity at that point, and it is working fine for me so I see no need to install an older faux kernel at this point.

You can install a kernel whenever you want, just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache each time, you don't have to start from scratch. Good for testing issues and just for generally testing new kernels.

[Q] slim bean + marmite

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

You need cm version. It says so in the first cell on the spreadsheet

Help! (cm10)

This is probably the most silly question ever, but... are gapps included in the cm10 zip? (from official cm site)
I feel so stupid that i ask it, but i cant find any answer on that... i am a noob...
I also have 2 more questions.
1) Should I flash the nightly or the stable build?
2) Which way is safer: with rom manager or manually with cwm recovery?

These answers can be found pretty easily.
Gapps not included.
http://goo.im/gapps
1) Depends. Do you want to flash and never really bother again? Stable. Want the latest features all the time? Nightly. Later has more chance of having bugs.
2) Both way work just fine. Recommend doing it manually via CWM though.

So, all I need to do is to flash the gapps after flashing cm10? Seems easy... But... Can i flash 4.2 gapps on cm10 stable rom?
And finally, if something goes wrong and my phone doesn't boot, will it work again after restoring my previous Stock rom?

Yes, that's all you need to do.
I wouldn't recommend flashing 4.2 gapps over CM10 stable.
Yes it will work again if you restore your nandroid backup. The Nexus S is next to impossible to brick. If you have any issue just ask here before going further and people can help you.
