[Q] Best Miui Rom

Hey guys I wanted to get people's opinions on the best Miui Rom currently out there for the Nexus s. Currently I'm using Galnet's latest Rom with ICS framework built in and it has been really smooth and snappy, however lately it has been a RAM hog!
I've tried other ones including, KelLMSKing (I experienced lag when loading apps) and Brainmasters (Didn't include the miui gallery, camera, or music which I really like).
I haven't used Miui.us or the official Miui in a while and I'm not sure if there are any other ones out there. I should probably wait until v4.0 Miui comes out (Apparently next week) but in the meantime I wanted to see which version people are using and why?

another post for such subject ...
well , for me , i am currently running brainmaster's MIUI with Franco kernel , goddamn good!
i have been running over month now without any problem. except short battery life , but that happens to all MIUI , pretty UI needs more power.
by the way ,BM's MIUI , DOES includ MIUI GALLARY ,CAMARA AND MUSIC

+1 I'm using brainmaster's MIUI combined with Franco's Kernel as well and it's been good. I get average battery life and it's decent performance wise. Brainmaster MIUI includes stock Gallery, Camera, and Music like the above poster said, but it also includes stock which I deleted.

Brainmaster's!

[Q] Feedback and Question on best ROM?

Hi guys I have gone from one ROM to another all professing to be the smoothest or most stable but all have left some what of a bitter taste in my mouth. My current ROM seems to be the most stable and have all the basic modcons working AndroidHD v1.0 | ICS
So I’m on a UK I9020 and I’m like preferably ICS over GB and main important points to consider for me would be
Battery Life, Stable, and Fast,
I am a bit of a power user but the ROM don’t have to have to many mods or sparkles just need something that doesn’t reboot at least twice a day and gives me battery life for 12 hours plus with fair use of apps and internet.
Please help at the end of my tether

yeah i'm in the same spot...i have been trying some ics roms and many claim "fast & stable & rock solid & butter smooth" etc
But they dont feel that way to me...i really like ics but i think its still slowish. GB is way faster.
Currently on codenameandroid 1.2.0 with matr1x 15.5 cfs

Come on guys don't all hide now lol, need your applied knowledge. Some one must have some thing they can recommend

try AndroidMe 1.1.0 not a single issue for me ,when on others ics roms i had fcs and reboots.
battery life around 16h with 3h of 3g and 3h screen on with brightness set at 68%.

CM 9 1.1 has been stable and brutally fast, better than stock IMHO. Only thing missing is FB sync.

Only thing thats kept me from CM roms is the worry that apps wont work with them, what sort of uptime do you get?

kangy v10 or AOKP milestone 3, damn good , with Matr1x kernel.
smooth , stable , battery friendly

im using the last cm9 kang with a bare boned(no mods added) trinity kernel, not a single stutter or speed bumbs. fast, stable, and everything works.

Now I'm using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS, well, as far as I can tell, it is quite stable and battery is not draining so fast.
Try some roms with AOSP tags, these roms have less modifications and mods, and maybe have a better better performance.

just tried a few roms. sorry to say that the stock rom is the best, so far.
Stock is stable, but a bit slow. but the slow problem is same in other custom roms.
I don't have the problem of battery drain.
Downloading 4.0.4 rom ported from NS4G. Hope it fix the speed problem.
Don't want to use 2.3 anymore, though 2.3 is fast and stable

I tried these custom roms -
Mv 2.1.27, 2.1.28(cm9) lots of added features, but less stable than stock
Miui - although I am a Chinese, don't like this Chinese rom.
Slow. Don't know the cause. Rom still in alpha? Or wasting CPU power on beautiful ui?
Unfamiliar ui Is another problem. Not my cup of coffee

No reboots on stock kernel and CPU speed. Overall, I've found all ICS ROMs to be moe robust than gimgerbread, with very little issues.

[Q] Someone using MIUI JB on DS?

Hello,
my Question: Is Someone using MIUI JB on DS? How about the battery life, stabilty and speed?
Sorry for my bad english

Hey!
I have used MIUI JB rom for a week! it's absolutly a very fast rom!
But i had the following issues:
Camera works 100% only on first boot some problems but after using it more than 3 times the issue is gone!
The battery life is terrible.after 8-9 hours sleep the battery drains about 25%! And on normal use it drains after like 2 - 3 hours!
3D games lag sometimes here and there! Temple run works fine and smooth!
And the best about this rom it's stunning fast! i compared the boottime between the iphone 4s (dual core) vs Htc desire s (one core)
Desire s was about 1 second slower. and against the iphone 4 12 seconds faster boot time!
I think you should try the rom first! maybe it works better on you're device if you'r lucky !

Actually the battery life is the most important for me
Which version do you use?

I use ICE DS v.6.0 Rom. It's a stock Htc Sense 3.6 with android version 4.0.4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715
The rom is very Stable! i never had issues with this rom!
Battery is very good! i don't know how much it drains by night!
But after 7 hours studying in school! i looked at my phone and it just drained 4% . didn't use it!
But if you use it the battery drains pretty slow . It has actually a great battery life!
Gaming performance is good! i tested today the new Need For Speed Most Wanted. and it was Lag Free!
No camera issues! It's a very good rom voor daily usage/gaming/long battery life!
No Bugs/Freezes found so far!
This is probably the best rom i have and found so far!
I hope i gave you some good information!
And by the way sorry for my bad english
Don't Forget the thanks button!
:good:

are u sure about this??

i have used it for close to a month, but i wasnt very happy with it, though boot times are faster than stock, i found that it has its share of hiccups, i didnt like how the camera functioned, there was a bluish tinge to the photographs, some apps had a lot of lag and games particularly werent very smooth. also the gps didnt work at all so couldnt use the maps, which for me was a big let down as i use maps a lot. i think flashing a custom rom is overrated, unless u r a developer i think its pointless, i am happier with sense 3.6 and ics 4.03 stock rom of htc
the only reason i would ever root my phone again would be if i could find a pure stock android experience otherwise i wouldnt.

Pure stock android? You mean like cyanogenmod, aokp etc.? I'm running flinny's (andromadus) latest CM10 build, and find it extremely stable and far faster than anything with sense. And it's fully working, now the front cam is fixed.

i tried cm7.2 stable build and didnt really like it... cm9 and cm10 for desire s not available as yet, and i dont want to flash a nightly or experimental rom, im not a developer, im a noob,

Ok guy, new question:
Which rom offers the best battery lifetime for you? Speed is not the most important for me, I only play plague inc. sometimes. I only want a rom for daily use

I think the best rom that have good battery life is based on usage and configure of owner. I set some cpu governor, limited use 3G and have a battery life about 2 days.
ah, my rom is JellyTime.

I tried official MIUI V4 2.11.5 (ICS) i guess from the miui.com but got force close after installation. The site told that i need to S-OFF my phone is that true?

Unless you think that they are likely to be lying just for the fun of it, it is always best to follow any Devs guidelines when it comes to installing ROMs.

The problem is. I'm already at hboot 2.2x lolz and I don't know how exactly to downgrade and s-off. I read some thread that told me to downgrade using RUU. But dunno it will work or no. Also my device ia S510e Is that any difference with common desire s?

[Q] What Rom is Smooth For Desire S.

Hey Guys!
What Rom is smooth for Desire S. In Gaming, Multitasking, Internet?

You can try ICE DS or ViperSaga.
Both works good for me.

Reaper is still one of the best. Fully functioning, blisteringly fast and stable
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. ~Wernher Von Braun

Viper or MIUI - both are customable, smooth.

Sabsa Prime is probably the smoothest but it has still some annoyances on the camera and fallout tweaks, nothing big.
Viper is what i'm currently using, really impressed with it so far.. had to install tweaked 9.0 kernel so my wifi would function fully.. had disconnects with default kernel and lower performance on speedtest, same servers.
Haven't tried others that i would use daily to give you feedback on, only experimental JB etc.. i would check at least viper

if u want smoothness and multitasking ,, then cm10 latest build is the best option ,,as smooth as butter,, and a great multitasker,, great gaming ,,
i benchmarked with antutu (default cpu frequency ) i got a score of 3712 ,, btw im using viper saga ATM ,, so i can tell this is also smooth ,, but not a very good multitasker ,,

Speaking of which, amida have you found yourself a nice set of settings for that or are you sticking with default? Default doesn't seem bad as the rom is still pretty smooth for me but i'll take anything i can
Would give people some guideline values to start from besides default if so.
Edit: Bit silly question, the already existing ones should work well enough.. considering stock is already smooth.. can just go from those values.. nvm it m8.

I am not heavy multitasker so I am fine with the defaults
Sent from my HTC Desire S

For me, both Endymion and Reaper work very well.
In Reaper, there are some memory management tweaks- default cm7 and the Supercharger profiles of Balanced, Aggressive and Insane.
For different things you will need different sets to do the best.
eg. For multitasking and internet, you do not need the Aggressive and Insane modes, because they will kill your memory apps faster. But the same setting will be better for Gaming. So kind of different settings, which you can change easily.
Also, for gaming, overclocking will be better, but that is not explicitly required for multitasking or internet, though it is a plus.
You will have to play around the things for some time. And every device and user is a little different. What works for me, may not work for you.
Cheers.

The best rom for gaming is GamerzRom v3, you can try it also with marmite kernel.

Carbon, Gamers are reported to by the fastest (I've tryed Carbon with Marmite8.5Cm and it's awesome), the latest stable build of SlimBean is stable to withn great batterey and a kernel based on Marmite, I'm curently on XenonHD v9 with Marmite non CM because I love the built in intd scripts that cantbe changed imediatly (like 3g speed hack for example), but if you're new to Nexus S and the flashing stuf I recomend Carbon as it has a good amount of features without being to intrusive on rom settings that could damadge your experience with IT. hAppy Flashing! :laugh:

Yep, I would recommend Carbon with the Kernel it comes with, or try with Marmite kernel too. Blazing fast, easy to use, lots of features. But in any case just feel free to look into the Dev section and see how many ROMs you can find there. Have fun

I tried all of above roms, they are speedy once you fresh install them. After you install few 10 apps, they become significantly less speedy.
As for gaming they are not much different than any other 4.2.2 rom. Carbon stock kernels gpu performance wasn't great for me, not to mention its was quite unstable (don't know how is with newer releases).
Gamerz rom usually scored on antutu around 1500-1600, which is pretty much the same as Cyanogenmod 10.1, but CM10.1 is almost bug free.
So if i can recommend you a good rom, id say try CM10.1, its speed matches above roms, stability is awesome. And if you want extra juice, flash kernel marmite 8.* over it, and Brainmasters tweaks.

Thanks!
Thanks ppl! I appreciate it! I will Go for Carbon Rom and Marmite Kernel cz almost everyone praises it! as for CM, I will check it out later!

I use rasbeanjelly !!! The best for me

I tried the CM 10.1 RC1 and after 4 days it started to be unbelievably slow... I'm downgrading to CM 9.1 because JB seems to be really slow after a while on my phone....
No wonder..

For Android 4.+ you need to reduce number of apps which always run in memory, like Facebook, Whatsapp, Skype etc. Or use Greenify to make them hibernate when phone is in sleep. Thats the only way which low mem device like ours runs 4.0+ versions normally.

Ok, I'm giving a try to this app.
Thanks!

Try the Greenify app for memory issues, it does wonders.

Rasjellybean + matr1x = performance + rock solid stability at 1320ghz overclock my cousin and I both own a Nexus S and not a single reboot after 2 months. However I left that Rom for hellybean because of all the feature at the cost of stability at high OC, I don't know about you guys but marmite doesn't seem to like my device and gamerz ROM performance isn't that good
