What's the best ICS custom rom for speed/stability?

I'm currently running a Neapolitan ICS rom that came out a few months ago and I've been having a lot of stability/speed issues with it. Lookign to flash a new ROM but there are so many to choose from.. any suggestion? Most important things to be are stability and speed.. I don't care too much about a fancy feature set.
Thanks in advance

Im running Drew Garens Orca ROM, with matr1x 15.5 and i love it! Very stable

any ics rom now would be better than neapolitan since its using a hacked up gingerbread kernel. so i wouldnt even consider it truly ics since its not using a 3.0.8+ kernel.

I use bixie rom v.1.0.0 with matr1x kernel v.16 - It's really fast stable and smooth. Battery life is also good (just need to tweak some settings).
u can see a review about this combo on nexusshacks website
cheers

I use CyberGr V7. It's awesome.
Stable, Fast, stable and incredible battery. Lot of options and functions.
One word GREAT.

I am currently using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ver. 7.0 Hybrid ICS, it crashes from time to time but for the most part is working fine! I would also remond the CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v2.1 it has less custom features but its only getting better!
PV!

Check out kangs roms (AOKP). There getting lots of positive feedback

Cm9 very fast,stable, you can tweak cpu governors,sounds and colors directly in the rom settings

Cyanogenmod 9 v2.1
Cyanogenmod 9 v2.1 runs very stable on my phone! I would definitely recommend it for stable daily use!

Bigxie Crespo Apex v1.02...brilliant. Was on NexusBeam before which was excellent too, But Bigxie ROm has lots of nice features, facebook sync etc.
Never had a reboot with either unless using a different oc'd kernel, So off the shelf Bigxie Crespo Apex v1.02 it is. rock solid. loving it. Don't like the boot graphic so flashed the stock one and its just perfect

CM9 Kang for the win
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
CM9 Nightly Kang (Build 1 of v2.1)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy-7)
OC 1100/100 (conservative)

I recommend CyberGRv7 ICS rom. It runs beauty on my nexus s!!

[Q] unhappy with phone performance

First...
hey, i have latest vipers rom 1.3.5 but fell my phone little laggy and somethimes it freeze and he is working with big lags someone has idea why is that ? my kernel version is 3.0.36 bricked !
Second...
Is it possible to restore my phone like when it was purchased from store, very first android firmware and everything, and if i do that is it gonna work better and is it gonna have better performance

No it wont run better. Have you tried other ROM's?
Beamed from my Senny..

no only ordroid but i am thinking of changing current rom i like HTC sense but i also want to try some other.
is there a chance all this to be becouse of kernel, should i change kernel first

Make a Nandroid backup of your current rom and yes, you could try different kernels, but you could also try different roms. If you like the sense based roms try Elegancia (there are different sense versions) or Android Revolution HD. As far as I know the development of Ordroid is finished so you will not see any update on that but the two other mentioned above are updated and they are really good roms. Try them and as you have the backup of Vipers rom you can always revert back to that.

True give other rom a try. Also try out jelly bean. I'm using paranoid Android by Dragun and it's very fast with newest kernel. I came from viper to paranoid Android and I love it. It's a great rom. Try it out too and see what you think. It's been stable and amazing! Tethering works perfectly with Wi-Fi tether and it's not laggy. I've personally really enjoyed the switch. At first I was worried how stable jelly bean would be but it's proven to be smooth fast and really stable. So while trying out different roms do give this a try I think you will like it.

I installed cm10 by bruce it's very good and smooth but,,, he has performance option in settings and there i can over clock and set frequencies of my cpu.
I was reading about Overclocked Kernel v1.5.2 by SebastianFM and faux kernel that they are realy good and fast. i also want to play 3d games so is it better to keep cm10 stock kernel or instal some of them ???

tamcore kernel works with cm10, but you wont get support from the developer.
this kernel has everything

[Q] best kernel for nexus s

hello..ive come from lg g2x forum..there we dont have more of the options for roms and kernels...and coming here is like getting lost in the wolrd of roms and kernels :angel:
i know these kind of topics are never appreciated but some pointer wud be much appreciated...
need just smoothness and speed...thats it..dont care about battery..also i thought nexus s has project butter implemented but it isnt that smooth..
anyway some help please ...

what android version?

oops sorry... cm10.1

Try Marmite for smoothness and stability, or Trinity, but i'm not sure that your phone can handle it (no voltage settings!)..
Marmite is probably the best choice

Marmite is the way to go bro~
It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not

If you are looking for project butter, try some of the 4.1.2 ROMs. The 4.2 ROMs are still maturing and aren't that smooth on Nexus S.
Marmite latest version is a good kernel.
Sent from my Nexus S

Matr1x kernel overclocked to 1.32 is smooth and stable
thalamus kernel is smooth and snappy, really stable, but less features
The majority of these forums seem to prefer marmite, but I only tried up to 7.1.3, before switching back to matr1x, so I couldn't tell you.

I really think it depends on the rom you are planning to run. Each kernel works/reacts differently with each rom. Usually if you read through the threads for a specific rom you can get a good indication of which kernel works best for it and which setting in each kernel give the best performance. JMHO

which kernel...
which one works better with my nexus s (jellybam 5.1.0)
matr1x vs cm10 vs marmite

I personally prefer Marmite, it works really smooth on my Nexus S, especially when using Jellybean!

AW: [Q] best kernel for nexus s
As you can see everybody preferes a different kernel! I rly like matr1x!
I suggest you try out yourself wich one is best for you! Also try different settings! I use row io scheduler and smartass v2 governor...

i tried almost latest, stable, weekly and nightly roms (like jellyshot final,rbj, gamerz rom,cm10.1 stable, hellybean, slimbean, xenonhd, carbon, PA, thinking bridge, miui, avatar and jellybam
with the different cfs,bfs, vodoo, non vodoo, stable and weekly kernels (like air kernel, matr1x, trinity, devil kernel, marmite, zxenz kernel vta2 kernel) and the best kernel for me (crespo) is marmite 2nd to the best is devil kernel.. and marmite 8.7 bigmem is working best in any rom..
now im testing the thinking bridge latest rom with these kernels.. XD

Not really kernel related, but since I am running marmite v8.7 bigmem, I just ran quadrant & I've only gotten a score of 2046. Other scores were 2033 & 1991, idk how others seem to get such high scores. I've just recently pretty much started fresh due to my phone having problems, so I am in the process of restoring some of my backed up apps.

Quadrant is crap, run antutub instead.

[Q] Which rom with good battery vs performance

Which roms would you recommend for the TF300T, at this point I've been using Baked BB-8, but I think there is a lot of times where it lags from wake-up, and the battery life could be better.
I've looked at AOSPA Paranoid Android (4.2.2), CleanRom Inheritance 4.1 (4.2.1), AOKP 4.2.2, etc.
But which to choose...?

Depends on if you want stock-based or custom, if stock I say go for CRI 3.4 (Or 4.1 if you're on the 4.2.1 bootloader), if you want custom definately go for AOSPA, I'm using AOSPA right now flashed with the perfs kernel, and I have to say it's one of the smoothest custom roms I've used, especially with the custimizability to it and the tablet UI, you can't go wrong! But in the end it's all about preference.

I've tried every single one of them, in my opinion assuming you are on the 4.1.1 bootloader, the best stock ROM is BlueAndroid v3.0 Surdu's kernel is smooth and full of options, now AOSP based I was on CM10.1 and it was great, then I tried Paranoid 3.15 and it was also laggy from wake up, so I changed to BB-8 with Perf. Kernel because of all the options and I have to say it's running super awesome, I have it Overclocked to 1.5ghz and it's great. You should try Perf kernel if you haven't it performs very well, I use no frills cpu from the market.

cromi all the way for me but i like stock based

kernel or rom

i have a stupid/newb question... is the performance depends on rom or kernel??

Yes it does.
According to me 1/3 rom 2/3 kernel.

so whats the best kernel for stock ICS rom, in terms of better gaming performance and battery life?

Well, its subjective.
I hate sense, so im not on stock based rom or kernel.
Right now i use aokp jb 4.1 + sultan r45 kernel, and im satisfied with results.
Just try different combos to find what you like. That is the point of custom roms/kernels
