Buying a new device with better hardware is the only option I'm afraid..
EDIT: or maybe go back to gingerbread..

I'm using slimbean and it doesn't lag or stutter. I'm not over clocked. What ROM are you running?

Gingerbread uses less ram as a system, and is a lot lighter in everything. So there's more ram left for the game

A GB ROM -> 90mb + 5mb gapps, so 95mb to load
A jellybean rom-> 140mb +80mb gapps, so 220mb to load

It might be because I'm a newb, or my kernal is incompatable, but every rom I've tried has bugged out. The worst was ICS, where my home button had no functionality whatsoever. So currently I'm just running Faux's kernal and that's it. Solid, not buggy, no problems so far...

UHF sky ics isn't working right for you, then you are doing something wrong. I compare my phone to my brothers unrooted skyrocket. Mine is faster with the same battery life. Sometimes better battery life depending on the update.

Actually he built it from CM10, and Instigator's worked. I dunno when is last time Sean updated though, so maybe it's not up to date with latest binaries, hence the boot issues that person is having.

[Q] I'm looking for a new ROM but...

...but I have few problem to chose one!!!
Actually I have an old Rom named Pixel ROM 1.72. Do you remember it?
I like this rom because is simple and fast and I'm looking for something like it.
I really like to try a Rom based on Jelly Bean but I fear to severely slow down my terminal,
and I have to use it also for my job...
If anyone have a suggestion...

You should really try the incredible JellyShot v0.5.2. It's JB 4.2.1, the most recent android ever. Google will not officialy release it for Nexus S, but this version is absolutely incredible! No kidding.
Slimbean is ok, but gets buggy along the way.
Bugless Beast is good, but a little outdated
Cyanogen 10 was not good for my battery and I thought it had too many fireworks, I like simple stuff.
Download JellyShot.
Just follow the instructions. I'm using Marmite v 1.7.5 (plain not the CM)
I use the one at column C5, is working great, no lag, no nothing just incredibleness!!
Look in search, it's my first post, so I can't post urls yet...
Cheers from sunny Brasil!
sorry for late response..
the name version v3.1 it's not related to android version is still jb 4.1.2
but as former stated I've tried jellyshot v0.3 and 0.5 now... WOW amazing fast!!!
not so minimal as slim ones but my Nexus seem to be supercharged now..(not related to zeppelinrox scripts!!)

Lightest Rom?

Hi.
My Nexus S is kinda slow now and it cam be embarrassing sometimes.
I only use my phone for Google music, Tunein radio, podcasts, email and basic internet.
I was looking the other day to see what was eating my memory up and I noticed things that I don't use any more like twitter apps and stuff that I will never use like Google play books and play movies.
I am rooted and using a tweaked kernel, but I'm still using stock ROM. I think this weekend that will change.
I'm not interested in overclocking, just a little bit more quickness and stability.
Can anyone recommend a good kernel and ROM combo.
Kernel must have voodoo sound.
Cheers.

If you want blazing fast rom try Metal Dragon Overlord, only drawback it's 4.1.2, if you want 4.2.2. rom try Hellybean or CM10.1 nightlies.
Pretty much every kernel's got voodoo sound so that's nothing to worry about.
Rom&kernel combo? - Metal Dragon Overlord, matr1x kernel.
Hi,
Initially I was looking forward to a 4.2.2. ROM but I have read comments about lag after a week or so of using those ROM's. So I may just stick with a 4.1.2. ROM.
Looking for something that I can flash and forgot, something very mature that I can keep on my phone for the next year without thinking about it or getting reboots. Don't want to be flashing a new version every day.
Cheers.

I have had my eye on Rasbean for many many months. I have heard many good things about it. I think I will try that first.
I already have Thalamus kernel running with my stock ROM. Tbh it isn't blazing fast, but I have never had any reboots at all, unlike my brief flirtation with Marmite many months ago.

This is the closest, or one of the closest, to a stock 4.2.2 ROM you can get and it's light, no bloatware. Also if you're using a 4.2.2 ROM, you these mods as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
It really increases your performance and doesn't affect battery.

[Q] How well does CM10.1.2 Run?

Considering a Unlocked Nexus S new for a friend on T-Mobile. Saw there is a stable CM10.1.2 release for it and wondering how well it runs being that the phone is 1Ghz and only 512MB ram. My friend is new to smartphones and wont be gaming or doing anything intense. But does it handle browsing and GPS ok?
Thanks
Never heard of cm10.1.2? My nexus s is running 4.2.2 and is really smooth. I never had any problems with 4.2.2 on optimus g even GPS works good for me.

It runs well out of the box, no bugs whatsoever. The default launcher is great replace it with nova for more customization or with a simpler launcher like smart launcher for more free memory and better multitasking.

10.1.2 fixes a Master Key vulnerability.
http://www.androidauthority.com/cya...cond-master-key-android-vulnerability-243328/
Flashed 10.1.2 yesterday, performance is quite smooth and phone is very responsive. Got a total of 396MB RAM with stock kernel.
I must admit i was a little sceptical it runs wery smoothly. At this moment, only two reboots but blame it on me because i overclocked.

Stable CM 10.1.2 with stock kernel installed after full wipe/full format:
same problems as the nightlies, lags, reboots, slow and painful sometimes... like waiting for nothing in manya apps and getting the message that allows you to kill the app even if you're not multitasking at all.
Unusable and most of all you can't run it for days without rebooting.
