[Q] New to Nexus S, any ROM recommendations

Just got a used Nexus S (i9020t) coming from a Vibrant. The number of AOSP based ROMS over here is very refreshing. Anyone have a recommendation for a 2.3.5 ROM that is stable, easy on battery, and fast? (Hey, I want all three). I've been running cm7 on my Vibrant, so I'm familiar with that. Is the last nightly stable? What about the Kanged versions? Should I be swapping out kernels?
Basically I'm looking for a solid ROM that I won't have to (or want to) mess with for a while. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try my rom. I just updated it 10 minutes ago. Fast and stable. If you're trying to save battery do an undervolt and lock the max speed to 800mhz.
Edit: ROM is called -=Nexus MV=-

Thanks for the reply and thanks for releasing a ROM. Will definitely check it out.

Try a CyanogenMod 7 kang from Simms22 (you can get them on the CM7 Nightly thread): http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigg...cm-7.1.0-RC1-NS-KANG-signed.09142011-0558.zip
Flash the Google Apps package: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110729-signed.zip
Use the Trinity TUV kernel (it's broken at the moment, use this build from the 11th): http://morfic.euroskank.com/NS/TUV-Any-NS+4G-11092011.zip
CM7 is just... amazing. Use this for speed and very good battery.

I would recommend cm7 miui and Peter Alfonso. All very good roms. In my opinion Pete's rom has the best battery life but try them all and see what u like best. What works good for me may not work for u lol. Just try all the roms people on here said and see what works best for u

Im using CM7 ...but it is very disspointing me because of the battery..
just last for 10 hours..

I've been running Formels MIUI, it's on the devs forum here on the Nexus S, it seems to be stable compared to the stock MIUI and battery is better.
Still, I'm also looking for a Rom that improves the camera, recording still isn't as good as I wanted and sometimes I get the random freeze&reboot....

[Q] BEST ICS ROM FOR NEXUS S(i9020/i9023)

I think KANGY11 is the best. I've tried many but that one beats everthing. Try it with Glados 2.9 and you will have a excellent batterylife!

for me Apex by Bigxie is Da Bomb

CyberGRv7 ICS Rom is MINT!!

I'd say CyberGR's v7 as well, have it on my own nexus, works like a charm
15½ hours on battery , still 74% battery left.

I'm agree. I use CyberGR V7. It's a great ROM. I've tested some another, but I have great battery/perf/functions with CyberGR.

I really like CyberGR v7. Has been pretty stable (I have not experienced any reboots or FCs), really fast and good battery life.

Have you upgraded to Apex 1.0.2 yet? I tried, but after flashing my wifi worked great but 3G would not connect.

It's hard to say "this ROM is best!" for anyone, it depends what your looking for in a ROM. If battery life is your main concern, I'd second CyberGR v7.
Performance? Personally I like Codename Android with matr1x kernel (mainly because of 1.46Ghz OC.)

Bugless petes for best of everything!

Damn. Figured out what happened here. I checked my APN. Set it and it works great now.

I'd give my vote to CyanogenMod 9 (v3.4 atm). Get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035. I used to use MIUI but switched to CM when ICS came out and have still not found a reason to search any further.

I've gone from CyberGR v7 to Oodie's MIUI and now on nuhetri v2.3.0.
I think MIUI is still a bit laggy, but it's coming through fast.
Nuhetri is working pretty good for me. A would still need to check battery life on it, but it's pretty fast!

Nuhetri or cna v1.4.0 ! I have cna atm with air kernel 3.3 overclocked to 1400mhz. soooo smooth! And batterylife is pretty good

IMM26 BY evilisto is best.

Which rom are you talking about?
The best rom so far is cybergr with air kernel. Great battery and no lag

Hard to say which ROM is the best because they all have their pluses and minuses. Same can be said for kernels; each kernel will perform differently according to which ROM you choose. I'd suggest reading through the ROM ops and selecting the one you like based on features and theme. Once you've found a ROM you like, flash several different kernels to find one that is most compatible (also doesn't hurt to read kernel ops as well for feature details). This process, although a little more time consuming, will likely give you better results than relying on the objective opinion of others. Also, bedalas compiled some awesome reference guides on on room and kernel performance that's a must read for anyone looking to get the most out of their device.

[Q] Choosing a ROM

I am very new at all this but off to a good start so far...I think. My Verizon S4 is successfully rooted and it's running the JellyBro EuroSkank ROM. I used GooManager and TWRP 2.5.0.3 to do it all. GooManager shows several other compatible ROMa are available like Carbon for example. My question is how do I know which one is the best in stability and features?
My current one, seems to be very good but is there something even better?

This thread is unnecessary. This will eventually lead to a best Rom thread which is not allowed. The best thing for anyone would be to flash them and see what fits your needs.

Pretty much this. Best thing to do is read the threads of different ROMs and flash a few yourself to see what best fits your needs. No one will know but you.

I'm running beanstown build 20 on my Note 2 and i love it!
I wanted stock android with some of the features that touchwiz offer. Very well put together ROM.

thanks for all answer ,im using stock rom right now :laugh: please give thanks to my post please :victory:

Jellybam
If you have one of it's many supported devices, I highly reccomend Jellybam. Jellybam has many features from many ROMs, and is not disimiliar to PAC-Rom, but I find many more options to customize, like custom notification background, and even custom halo color etc.
Overall, for my P3110, the ROM is quite fast, even without over clock, and the Deva update it quite frequently, plus these updates are stable and most of the time quite major and useful

Just recently picked up the Carbon rom and loving it! I use them for the customization and the fact that they boost performance and battery life

The phone I own is a first gen LG Optimus V. The ROM I use now is MiRaGe CM7.2 ROM. The reasons I rooted and flashed was to get better performance, over clocking, USB Tethering, removel of all bloat ware and useless apps, and to be able to make Nandroid backups of my installed ROM, apps, and settings. Before I did all this, I ran stock Froyo 2.2.1 and was plagued with all sorts of problems the LG Optimus phones were known for. And I was 100% o.k. with voiding my warranty too.:good::laugh:

my device is alcatel currently using experia by shinjarey, long battery life and smooth.

I use original rom

My old HTC Desire used Cyanogen Mod, my current HTC One X and S3 are using Stock Roms still.
My tablet at the moment using Ubuntu Touch, might go for another rom as the Ubuntu Touch is missing some key features I want in the tablet right now as it is a Dev release. Will hopefully go back to Ubuntu Touch in a later release when those features are there.

KERNEL for Android 4.4?

HELLO!
Since there is some nice development going on with android 4.4 (thank you cn.fyodor), i was wondering what KERNEL are you guys using on your Nexus S with android 4.4.
Is there any kernel that works with cn.fyodor's ROM and has more tweaks and stuff available?
Thank you for your participation in this thread
