i have a custom 4.2.1 rom installed.
while its not notably faster than stock 4.1.1, it sure isnt slower. maybe you can improve it with another kernel?

I recommend (4.1.2 because 4.1.1 have some bugs):
- STOCK 4.1.2 - 100.1% Google experience
- kwbr Nexus S 1.0 :: Stock :: JB 4.1.2 :: JZO54K
4.2 ROMs are not the best for speed even with some "famous" kernel.. but I think that in the near future this situation will change.. a lot of users says the same when 4.1 was released...
sorry for very bad english..

is this flshable via CWM recovery ??

I'm very happy with the combination of the latest SlimBean and Marmite 7.3 (non-CM version, using it at 1096 Mhz, with the new row scheduler and smartassv2). You should definitely try this out before you go back to stock. I think it is a lot smoother than the stock rom, not to mention all the great features you get. It's also very stable, haven't had a single reboot, altough I use OC.
Plus what's the point having a nexus device and not running the latest software?

Custom ROM like jelly shot 2.8 with marmite kernel 7.3 over clocked to 1.3 GHz but I don't see the difference with a stock 1ghz

you can't just say custom and expect to get away with it
all custom roms aren't the same, some get good performance, some get bad performance, some get horrible performance and some get great performance. it all depends on the rom

jellyshot is the custom rom i m using

When you say "faster" what do you mean by that?
For me Jellyshot, Rasbeanjelly, and SmokeHolo ROMs are faster in UI, but slower when using 3rd party apps, specially games.; while on CM10.1, Baked BB7, Helly_Bean, and PA2.99, UI is a bit slower (stutters occasionally) but 3rd party apps are noticeably snappier.

faster in sense of playing games no lags

[Q] Custom Kernel

Hi my skyrocket is currently running 4.0.3 ics leaked rom, and I was wondering if i could flash custom kernel on ics rom, or would I have to stock gingerbread to use custom kernel. I just do not want to get bricked etc. Thank you.
It depends on the ROM, if it's SKY ICS or some other modded Samsung rom, then you pretty much have to stick with stock, or do some research because I don't really know what Kernels are available for it. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in...
If it's AOSP based (CM9, AOKP, Chimaira, etc), then the only other option I know of is InstigatorX's kernel, which seems to work quite well. Pick a stable version, since the latest has issues with the camera. The stock kernel for CM9 is also quite good, but the CPU governors added in Instigators are great for saving battery.

You can flash cymbaline. Don't try to flash instigator's cm9 kernal you aren't using an aosp rom. Cymbaline fits your deal nicely. You'll dig it.

Stock GB with custom kernel?

Hello,
I am using hep's ics rom.
Can I flash stock GB rom and then root it, flash custom recovery and install a custom kernel like franko's kernel over stock gb rom?
Any idea how would be the performance then?
Thanks..

You don't need to do all this stuff, there are a lot of modded stock Roms (custom kernel & rooted) available in Android Development thread, just search.

I am looking for battery life as good as stock ROM..
What should I go with?
1. Stock GB
2. Resurrection Rom
3. Oxygen GB
??
I used CyanogenMod 7 nightlies and I think that the battery life was longer. Now I use CyanogenMod 10.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
oxygen gb for sure
Just try ressurection rom. It's really having a great battery life with very less tweaks and of course the best camera.

Yep, some people say they don't notice it. I did, moved back to 4.1.2, forever happy.
For me it is faster than 4.1.2. I'm using Hellybean w/ devil kernel.

And your signature says Something else
I switched from 4.2.2 back to Cyanogen 9 and it's running just as fast and reliably as Gingerbread.
I am in 4.2.2, with Jelly Shot crespo ROM and Marmit kernel - so smoth and fast. Except Gingerbread, the battery consumption is also better.
4.2.2 is better !!!
Running on a smooth CM 10.1 with Air Kernel. Fly's most of the time with a few hiccups here and there

My Nexus S also can't handle the awesomeness of android4.2.2
Me Gusta!
Carbon is nearly as smooth as Jellyshot (really hard to match them) but is so fast and virtually bug free (I haven't encountered any yet).. On benchmarks it tests higher for me than any other 4.2 rom (not that this means too much). And is still full of features... And best of all it is great with battery life.. I installed it on less than 50% (granted not heavy useage) but I got more than twenty hours (six of those I was asleep).. I am charging it up and will see how it does on screen time..
On full charge (Devil Kernel {ondemand/deadline 1000/100) over 48 hours!!! semi-light usage
Check out GamerzROM, based on CM 10.1 and it's awesomely fast...
Im not quite sure, CARBON ROM is pretty snappy, its up there with AOKP
I find helly bean pretty smooth...smother than ICS at least!
Do you guys think carbon is smoother than helly bean?

I find it smoother, the initial release, the nightlies are a bit buggy and not as fast.. Jellyshot is the smoothest rom, but not as fast as Carbon, but it's boot time is faster..

I have an updated list of Roms, all based on my testing and are not meant to be disrespectful to developers as all Roms have their own merit based on each user...
(Each rom is tested on stock kernel and Devil kernel using Antutu for benchmarks)

Nearly, it tests on antutu within a couple hundred point difference with Devil kernel, but is nearly identical stock...
I think that the new JellyShot 4.5 is faster than the Carbon, I tested both with marmite 7.3 because the >8 versions eats too much battery

Use Fly on mod or v6 supercharger...also why are you using 2.3.4?? Y not 2.3.6 which is much better in performance dude..use XWKTN the latest and stablest with Gloun kernel or call recording kernel by wilfred clement
I think juice defender ultimate isn't working anymore for most users. But I've experienced it for the 1st time a month ago & it "really" defended the drowning battery juice. Still using it & suggest the same for ya(for battery performance,obviously)...

First of all fly on mod works on a custom kernel only..and about stock rom i think u have unrooted phone and then again rooted it and then you tried to flash gloun kernel via stock recovery which is wrong..you need a rooted Stock rom and CWM!!! I use stock rooted rom at daily basis i use XWKTN latest german firmware with all language support..Gloun kernel most works only on deodexed stock rooted rom..

ROM Question

What ROMS are everyone using? I have a GT-P5113 stock rooted with TWRP recovery running 4.2.2 and all I keep seeing is 4.4.2 roms that are AOSP. Can anyone out there recommend a good fast and clean 4.2.2 or 4.3 touchwiz rom for the Tab 2 10.1?
For me the best stock rom I ever used was Zap Blaster 2.1
Its 4.1.2 but its fast and tweaked for speed
4.2 stock roms are by far slower
You should really try it.
