Hello NS community! I exchanged my Desire for my fiancee's NS and now I'm flash happy.
I intentionally did not ask what the BEST ROM was to avoid a flame war, so please share what you find to be your FAVOURITE ICS flavour.
Until now I tried CyberGR-MOD v1 but it was very unstable for me so I was unimpressed. Next up on the flash list are CM9 Alpha 18 and Peter Alfonso's ROM.
Suggestions?
Peter Alfonso ICS
Thanks, for now I'm running CM9 Alpha18 and seems to be quite stable.
I just flashed bixies' ROM last night and it seems to be very stable so far.
IMO, the real fun with Nexus S is the kernel, we have many great kernels for you to play with

Do tell!
Currently I'm using Matr1x-cfs_v14.0Matr1x-cfs_v14.0. OCed at 1460 and no FCs, no reboots, no freezes, just buttery smooth performance.
Slightly off-topic, but I have to say I'm terribly impressed withe the Nexus S - it's a very powerful device.

I've read good things about that ROM and I'll be sure to flash that next, if CM9 disappoints.

It has been feeling very smooth, at least in the few hours I've used it. We'll see how it goes.
AOSP+ and Matrix 14 cfs gives me a great combination of performance and battery life. I tried ICUP too and it gives great performance but battery life is better with Matrix.
So is CM9 smooth and stable enough to be used as my everyday ROM? Also, are there any posts or wikis about all the different kernels, guides on flashing and their pros and cons? My last dev device was a Blade and there weren't nearly as many different kernels and options available for that. Oh, and does CM9 come with a kernel..I don't need to flash anything else?

Yes CM9 comes with it's own kernel. It's a mod on the 3.0.8 kernel. CM9 been running on my phone for 6 days now without a single reboot and FC.

Smooth, clean and reliable, especially paired with Eugene's kernel.

What's the procedure in flashing rom and mixing it with different kernel?
Thanks,

What I normally do is:
* do a full wipe (system, data, cache) if you are flashing a different ROM
* flash ROM first, reboot to make sure it runs properly
* flash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache (or also cache, just in case)
Always flash a ROM that says it supports your phone model. Also make sure that if you're using ICS ROM then flash an ICS kernel. On the other hand, if you're using GB ROM then flash a GB kernel.

Matr1x v14.0 with any rom! Haha
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Hi everyone! I've one of the first ROM came out after the releasing of the kernel for our phone, it's not bad but sometimes seems slow (especially typing).
I was looking for something very fast and stable, I don't care so much about customization or overclocking.
Do you think I should think of came back to stock? Which rom do you suggest?
Thanks for any help!
at this moment , i suggest you KANGY-V8 by HAKA and mathkid95's Matr1x 15.0 CFS with Weathley + SIO , everything's good
Thanks! I'll give them a shot!
Stock gingerbread
I was actually looking for something similar myself(in terms of stability), but i actually do want a little more customizations and tweaks, i was going to try
CyberGR-MOD, would that be a good choice?

probably not , becuase i was using it before
it's good , but however , there some MOD like "search key for recent apps" and some themes from theme section , weren't able to be applied in that ROM ...
if you wanted these MOD, you have to do it yourself ...

Thanks, one last question though, when you were using it was it stable?
I have been using Codename Android Rom(used to be AOSP+)
I must say it one of the best Roms I have tried. I suggest everyone to try it.
I just registered at XDA but I have been following the Scene for a while. I have using this rom for more than a month. I was on nexus beam but its not as fast and stable as Codename android.
this Rom is great because:
1-Great stability
2-no reboots whatsoever
3-very smooth and fast(including typing) I used to have sluggish keyboard on other roms, not this one.
4-Great Battery life
5-AOSP so its built from scrach so its clean and has nice simple mods and tweaks
Check it out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463437
I also suggest using Eugenes speedy Kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401455
the Rom and Kernel above are just sooo compatible. I have the best android experience ever
Good luck

I'm usin pete's bugless beast, never had reboots, freezes or something. It runs very smooth and fast, and battery life is great. I always have 2 days, with little usage even 3 days. I'm using steven garons kernel with default settings and bln on.
Apex 1.0.0 with Speedy 7. No problems at all.

I'm with imsailham except I'm using kernel Icup speed5.
Still not as fast as the good old Oxygen based on Gingerbread but the improvement on ICS makes this ROM the top

Here are some screenshots, too.
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 ???

My wife's phone is100% stock and still has small bugs, freezes, and other issues.. So a 100% stable jellybean is a myth.. Carbon tests faster than Gamerz, but isn't as smooth.. I am using Thinkingbridge and am nearly as fast as Carbon, but haven't had any bugs (yet).. The latest Devil kernel is fast and stable at stock speeds, but I find over volting it when over clocked is better than stock voltages (on my phone).. At stock voltage when over clocked I have had random reboots, but not when over volted... Marmite is also fast, but I haven't found a stable over clocking method for it.. Both deliver good battery life and performance on any compatible rom...

Don't use your Nexus S as if it's a Galaxy Nexus. It's a 2010 phone.

Each ROM is different and reboots are caused by tons of possibilities either kernel or ROM, and overclocking and using tweaks/mods only increase these possibilities...
I've tried Carbon but have had a couple bugs in previous builds.. I'm testing the latest Carbon and it feels nice and no issues thus far
Thinkingbridge is fast and stable and I had no bugs or other issues..
And yes, Devil is my favorite kernel..
Also if you use devil tools or similar app, you can overclock the devil kernel to a fairly stable 1512mhz (live oc 108%). Not recommended for long periods of use!

i mean what is better than gamerz rom and fast and stable FOR LONGGG USE like till key lime pie is out whats the most stable and fast rom and what kernel to use with is
try jellyshot with marmite. i have tried every rom and for me is the fastest and most stable rom
Jellyshot + marmite 7.3 is 100% stable but does not have many mods, carbon + marmite is very fast and has a lot of mods
I was just using the old 4.1.2 Hellybean with a current Devil kernel and the experience was very nice, stable and smooth.. the battery life was also quite good, averaging around 20 hrs with 5 hrs screen time!!

bottom of the page.. Enjoy
I tried countless ROMs, Kernels, Tweaks and Mods, and i have to say that im most satisfied with ThinkingBridge (SB4) and Devil Kernel (3.0.71) plus Final Script (3.1) from "The War Against Obscurity" thread posted by Setting.Out. Its clearly subjective; many people, many opinions. But you surely have to give it a shot!
Hi , i just bought my tablet and it has very much lag , i have zap blaster rom , i had cm10 and was same.
What can i do ?
I have had the stock JB and CM10.1, but both have been very zippy.
Describe your lagginess. When is it lagging?
Did you flash your roms correctly with full wipe?
Was it lagging on the stock rom?
You may need to flash the roms again with FULL WIPE.

I understand what you mean.. You can't comparing it or expect an android tablet to be as smooth as an iPad or a windows 8 tablets.
The best you could do is
1)enable force hardware acceleration in developers settings
2)set maximum background tasks to 1 only
3)download entropy and increase it to 512
4)install a custom kernel and overclock the CPU. Set Governor to interactive. It should feel a bit snappier
Also, doesnt matter how fast you make the tablet, the playstore will always lag while scrolling on landscape so if thats the lag you mean then dont mind it
