Nexus S: Cyanogenmod 7.2 or Stock

Alright the situation is i got a newish phone and plan on giving my nexus S to my parents, right now its running the nightly. I want to be sure they have something stable. So i am looking at either switching it to Cyanogenmod 7.2 or the stock rom. I have heard that they have released 4.1 stock rom for Nexus S, I have not seen it if anyone has a link please comment with it.
My parents are not tech savy but they need a better phone. So Stock or Cyanogen?

The JB Android 4.1 update is very stable. Set them up with that by following the steps given in our nexus s forums. Good luck!

I would recommend Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Stock. Should be totally sufficient + they get to have Google Now

I recommend on CM9.0 RC-2, which is stable and up to date
h ttp://get.cm/?device=crespo&type=RC

I would use a cym 9 rc2 because everything pretty much works and its really fast with the matr1x kernel. It also has great battery life with just enough customization.

I would use the Stock Stock JB Update or the cm9 RC2, but not cm7.2

definitely stock JB. You can download for Widgetsoid 2.x for notification toggles and a battery % widget, and they're set! JB is really feature rich and awesome!

For 4.1 JB I was looking around for a guide for Nexus S 4.1 rooted. My version is I9020XXJK8. I gave seen a few guides but not that many links for the actual zip of JB 4.1. Also how do you update CWM?

Try this. If you have JB then just do the bottom part (superuser, clockworkmod, etc.)

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?

[Q] G2x Rom??

Hello, I would like to know what custom rom would be best for the LG G2x. I am currently using Hellfire Sandwich 1.9. I want to know what you guys/gals think is a really good stable/smooth rom for the G2x.
thanks

I run cm7. Seems to have the least bugs/problems. I just like to use all the cool things my device has in it.

If Faux52 gives you problems (It did for me), try Trinity ELP.

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:

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.

Sick of Lag

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)

@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.

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.

[Q] Help with OSE 4.3.1 and KT747 Kernel

Hey all, after some searching, I have to do 2 things: 1) admit some ignorance, 2) get some help.
Currently I am running OSE 4.3.1 with 3.4.66cm kernel. I REALLY want to put the KT747 kernel in. So is this even possible? I have tried several times, following instructions to the letter, and it just hangs on the KT boot image forever. Oh, the ignorance is knowing if this is ASOP or TW. Thanks for any and all help.

Are you flashing the correct kernel build, 4.3 jellybean aosp? And what is the build date of the OSE ROM? It could be a compatibility issue. Are you doing any wipes when flashing the kernel?

I am on OSE build 10/21, and I tried the KT747-AOSP-JB-MR2-3.4-VZW-10-11-2013, then the KT747-AOSP-JB-MR2-3.4-VZW-11-04-2013.
both of them got to KT boot image and just hung there. I have the KT747 in another ROM (4.1.2) and love to have in with ROM, perfect marriage I think
"Are you doing any wipes when flashing the kernel?"
Yep, even tried a full data wipe, cache, & Delvick withou any luck.
