Fastest most stable rom for the One S right now?

There are so many damn roms and I dont want to spend days testing them all. What is one of the better roms? Right now Im running Jellybam and dont really have many issues at all. What prompted me to come look is that I started up my old Samsung Vibrant and was disappointed at how fast it felt compared to my HTC One S - faster!
So... what do you guys recommend?

I'm using ViperOneS 2.00 and it's perfect to use as a daily driver. You get sense and a lot of tweaks plus new update is in the works

Well i'm using pac man rom latest version and flashed bubbas kernel 2.7 over it and it runs pretty fast. You also get a bunch of tweaks that you can change with the app kernel tuner

I use viper 1.2.1 since I like the sense can with zarboz beast kernel with s2w. Awesome battery life
Make sure to check out my thread if you have WiFi issues

I was just wondering what tweaks you are using in the ROM/kernel?
Are you using kernel tuner?

Using AOKP 4.1.1 JB no real tweaks, has been great for me.

Dark Jelly CM10, works perfectly fine and hasnt caused me any issue.
Viper 1.2.1 with zarboz kernel is also damn good.
The custom JB Sense roms are too limited for my taste atm.

I'm using the recent STOCK AOKP 4.2 (Feb 15th build) It seems very smooth, certainly in comparison to the original firmware.

[ROM REQUESTS] [4.2.2] One S C2

This thread is intended for villec2 users....
Since there are only 3 roms i.e. cyanogenmod 9, 10, 10.1, built for villec2 and others are ported, I am willing to build more roms from source and that's why, give opportunity to villec2 users to choose rom which they love...
@Villec2 users: roam around xda, find roms which you think are good and post the link here, the roms which will be build from source will be according to their demand...
From now own-wards, please don't pm me with requests...

[Q] How well does CM10.1.2 Run?

Considering a Unlocked Nexus S new for a friend on T-Mobile. Saw there is a stable CM10.1.2 release for it and wondering how well it runs being that the phone is 1Ghz and only 512MB ram. My friend is new to smartphones and wont be gaming or doing anything intense. But does it handle browsing and GPS ok?
Thanks

Never heard of cm10.1.2? My nexus s is running 4.2.2 and is really smooth. I never had any problems with 4.2.2 on optimus g even GPS works good for me.

This is just a link to cyanogenmod wiki.. and says nothing about 10.1.2... It's strange that their nightlies (the most current versions available) are only 10.1 and not 10.1.2.. but thanks, you're awesome!!

It runs well out of the box, no bugs whatsoever. The default launcher is great replace it with nova for more customization or with a simpler launcher like smart launcher for more free memory and better multitasking.

10.1.2 fixes a Master Key vulnerability.
http://www.androidauthority.com/cya...cond-master-key-android-vulnerability-243328/

Flashed 10.1.2 yesterday, performance is quite smooth and phone is very responsive. Got a total of 396MB RAM with stock kernel.

I must admit i was a little sceptical it runs wery smoothly. At this moment, only two reboots but blame it on me because i overclocked.

Sent from my GT-N5100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Stable CM 10.1.2 with stock kernel installed after full wipe/full format:
same problems as the nightlies, lags, reboots, slow and painful sometimes... like waiting for nothing in manya apps and getting the message that allows you to kill the app even if you're not multitasking at all.
Unusable and most of all you can't run it for days without rebooting.

[ROM][ALPHA][JB 4.3][3 Sep] Carbon 4.3

Welcome to my latest alpha ROM thread. Today I am sharing one of my latest ports in order to make development easier and faster so the community can have a working and stable ROM for daily use. This was ported under coderzs permission. He owns all the work to his Carbon Android 4.3 Build. Used as a base is Randomblame's JellyTime 4.3 Trainwreck v2 build. The ROM is not under any circumstance advised for daily use at the current stage. I open it for people who just want to take a spin at android 4.3 with a different flavour and developers who are willing to support and contribute to this project. Enjoy
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility of whatever may occur of using this ROM. This ROM is not recommended for daily use, so don't complain for it's quirks. If you use this ROM please be decent enough to leave a detailed bug report for the development to get better.

Don't forget to bug report . I believe it's kind of laggy.

Is stability/performannce improved? Cause trainwreck is nowhere near the needed stage to cook themed versions (roms) of it.

Of whatever bug/performance issue JT sufers, this ROM suffers the same. It's an early Alpha.

Well...I'm sorry to say that It's not stable enough to even test and give feedback.

Hello, I ordered the blaze and should be getting it sometime this week. And I would like to know what's the best 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 ROM with stability and performance along with nice features. Also what mods and what kernel?
So happy to be joining this community!

4.2 and 4.3 development is just getting underway. They run very smooth, it just that some things are still broken, like the camera, bln, and few little things. There are workarounds in the specific threads. Im currently running slimbean 4.3. Beanstalk 4.3 is killer too.

Should I try all star liquid smooth?

Don't start threads like these. There are not any "best" ROMs out there. It all leads to your opinion. Try them all out! And you came in the right time as we got 4.3! Welcome to the community!

Be careful about "best threads", sometimes things can get a little nasty. Anyways, I agree, someones "best" can be another persons worst, looks like you have a lot of testing to do! Welcome to the community!

I see in the CM10 thread this list of bugs:
Known Bugs:
Screen of Death: This is a CM10 bug, many other devices are afflicted, not just the blaze. Many people are working hard to fix this.
UI action sounds may not work at first. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons, the sounds will then work fine. This is a known CM10 bug
BLN is wonky. Working on getting us merged with the stable version native to CM10.
Fixed 20121103+ : WiFi generates a random MAC address with each boot.
Camera: Flash can't be disabled
Camera: Storage location cannot be changed. This isn't really a bug, however if the interest is great enough, I might try and figure out a way to change the system default storage location.
Other things maybe? Discuss in the thread...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are all of these bugs still present in the latest builds?

The latest nightly is 99.8% stable. Occasionally occasional people have occasional problems once in a while. Nothing is 100% usually. I've been running it for many months now. Just user ICS camera from the market and set it to use your sd card for saving pics.

I've since moved on from CM10. Not that it wasn't superb, but I went flash happy
I'm currently running Slimbean 4.3 20130905, and I've gotta say its pretty sweet. Its in beta stages so there will be a few bugs, but honestly the only ones I've come across so far is the camera crashes, the torch crashes, and setting performance tweaks cause a reboot. Other than that its buttery smooth. I HIGHLY recommend it, sir. Its a lightweight build for superior performance, and it delivers through and through. Also flash with the minimal gapps build to keep performance nice and creamy. Slimbeam + minimal gapps = 140mgb. Smaller than your average ROM.
I would never steer a fellow android enthusiast in the wrong direction
Flash it and see. You won't be disappointed. But hey, even if you are, just flash another one!!

To be perfectly honest Liquid Smooth gave me some trouble. Even after doing a completely fresh flash it wasn't stable in the least.
That being said it never hurts to give it a shot. I saw somewhere a kernel you could flash possibly fixing any issues you may have with it. Unfortunately it didn't work for me
Slimbean, CM and beanstalk, in my opinion, are where you'll find ultimate performance and creaminess

Not really, the only thing that still exists is the stock camera doesn't have the option to save to the external SD card. Easily fixable by using a camera from the market, like 'ICS camera'.
