Hello ,
I have a Nexus S i 9023 and i have installed many different ROMs but I don't know which is the best . Please inform me about your opinion.
I am talking about ICS Roms and you can also post benchmarks to help me deside.

Now istalling GummyNex 0.7.7 I Will tell you what I think of it. Achter installimg of course. But it should have a lot of tweaks hand stuff!!

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.
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes

Verizon S3 4.2.2

I was wondering if anyone knew of a ROM that is 4.2.2 and is just the basics, I tried Liquid Smooth 2.1 but I hated all the settings that you can change. Anyone that could point me in the right direction please do so.
Thanks!

Cm10.1 is for you.

I still think cm10.1 would be the best bet. Its got some settings but they're just handy, stuff like toggles. Plus 10.1 is Gina have recent fixes and such. And honestly I think he official nightlies are your best bet.

Give Slim Rom build 3 a try. It's really nice and smooth and PURE AOSP. I really liked how smooth and stable it was, I just missed all the touchwiz features so I didn't end up keeping it. Was a very nice ROM though. Give it a shot.
It's very nice if your looking for vanilla Android.

Yeah sorry the predictive texting on swiftkey is overkill sometimes. Lol. The Slim Rom doesn't have any touchwiz features at all. It's pure AOSP. If you want a good touchwiz based Rom try jelly beans. I have also heard that Synergy and clean Rom are some of the nest touchwiz based Roms out there, though i haven't tried them.

I would recommend to use the official ROM. CM 10 can have many bugs.

CM 10.1 or Carbon, carbon has a little more features

Slim Rom is not even close to pure AOSP. There are innumerable features added, which is why I love it.
There's one pure AOSP ROM, and it's maintained by Joelz. Hadn't been updated since mid January, but is supposedly about to be soon.
But I agree, the OP should go with CM10.1.

A Stable rom with 4.1/4.2 (P3100) [request]

I currently use with the cyanogenmod 4.1 (Cyano 10) .. but it has many bugs, the tablet turns itself off, sometimes hangs .. That really leaves something to be desired .. then an application if any of you know of some friends rom with android 4.1 or 4.2 and that is stable, please let me know
- Thank you - Translated by google translator.

You can find many in the development forum .. Personally, I'd prefer CyanogenMod roms , it is stable and receive proper updates and continual developments. AOKP is awesome too .. Should give them a try. Sticking to stocks may be useful sometimes, but if so, we wouldn't be here in the first place
Anyway, I think the best thing is that you try almost everything and then decide by your own
Sent from my GT-P5100 using Tapatalk HD

Definitelly try Slimbean. You will be amazed how awesome it is. The last build has a little problem with maps aplication but there is a patch in slimbean thread that solves it. Rom is very stabble and smooth and the battery life is uncompareable to other roms i've tried. For P3100 it's the best non stock based rom that you can get I think(it's my on personal opinion).

Cyanogenmod 10.1 has problems with calling and head sets and stuff. Slim bean... I don't know. But pacrom fixes all of that.
Make sure you get the April 29 build and not the may 1st as it has some bugs.

Im running PA 4.3 right now and its fine for a DD. The camera can be a bit weird but it works fine 95% of the time. Battery life is amazing running LK. I thought I would have to flash back to TW, but I think im staying with PA for a while.

I figured that would be the one problem if there was any, but that's just how it goes I guess. Thanks for the input. Would you say besides the camera issue, 4.3 is have a noticeable difference that's better than 4.1 and 4.2?

4.3
Any increase in performance?

Sorry guys, this is the first time i've ever run an ASOP rom so I can't tell you about 4.2. I was TW since day one. I was fed up being so far behind in updates that I had to try something. Did my research and decided on PA. The differences I have found are mainly app side. More integration and fluidity between apps and tasks. No reboots or any major bugs have come up. I like the stock android feel. I miss the TW camera but I have a feeling a mod will come around for 4.3.

I'm on PAC man 4.3 and it is so sweet

I use cyanogenmod
this is the best and and the most stable one (although nightly build)...
(http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/56121/cm-11-20140121-NIGHTLY-p3110.zip)
based on android 4.3....
you can also try the unofficial cyanogenmod 11 build based on android 4.4.2...
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525713)
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE FLASHING (especially before the cm11 4.4.2 )

The most I like is CyanogenMod 10.2 because it has Android 4.3.0 and the performance in games is amazing! I could have all Gameloft games, (with foldermount) And lag never comes.
I'll recomend you that rom.
Regards

If you are stock lover and you want maximum tweaks (Audio clarity, Smoothness) then you would love sungsonic HD v7

i was using pacrom 4.4.4 with multi exclusive features but i had a bad sound quality (main problem with cm 11, omni, slimkat and some few others). Due to this I'm only stuck at paranoid 4.4.4 ..great features but i prefer pacrom and cm 11. Any sound quality changes then i get those roms back. any help plzzzz

CM12.1 unofficial ROM by Android Andi
I use this some graphical glitches only no big isssiues

Here is my experience with the roms I have flashed so far:
CM11: My current ROM, not the smoothest, but pretty stable, weekly OTA updates, stagefright fixed
Slimkat: Pretty smooth, minimalistic, fast, stagefright vulnerable, no update since Dec 2014
Omnirom kitkat: Also fast, complicated pull down menu, stagefright vulnerable, no update since May 2015
unofficial CM12.1: few glitches, not very fast,
MIUI: Never again!

@puflynx
Explain about your problem. I too had some audio problems in that rom.
---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
Slimlp is also a good rom.found a bug where it reboots randomly atleast 5 times a day.
Now my current rom is resurrection remix which is pretty fast, no bugs so far.

Hi Andi, I know that this is an old thread but I want to know your opinion about. I use my P3110 mostly for Internet browsing and music listening with Bluetooth speakers. What rom combines the best of both characteristics? I'm using the last release of your CM13 mostly because I like the V4A Mk-mod but seems to be a little laggy to me. Of course must be stable and speedy enough. Thanks in advance.

For me its Paranoid Android version 3.99.. tried many others and always come back to this one
