[Q] stock 4.2 unrooted rom with photosphere? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been on the 4.1.2 stock rom for a while, and want to get a rom that is as stock as possible for 4.2, but the search have failed.
My requirements:
1. 4.2
2. comes with photosphere
3. unrooted
Is there such ROM?

There will never be a stock 4.2 on Nexus S, Google said 4.1 will be the last official update for it.

Well, not the official. But something that's closest to the galaxy nexus or nexus 4 ROM.

cyanogen 10.1 once its a stable release...

Btw, root only brings advantages, so why would you like a ROM without root?

My suggestion : Flash Jellyshot ROM it's like stock and search for flashable photoshphere there are some flying around. and Root is good for the device. So let it be..

The only way I was able to do it was to Flash to PRIME
All the roms for the TF are stock o.o There is no Honeycomb source, so there aren't any custom built roms.
In other words, the custom roms are actually stock roms, with tweaks. I think if you just used the one-click root method, there's an included option to flash back to stock only.. or am I just not remembering things correctly?
Have you rooted yet? If not then just rooting gets you to a stock rooted rom. If you are rooted and on an older version of stock or another rom you could install the .6 rom and then install the .9 update. That is what I did.
I am 99% stock, just changed the SystemUI for the stock Icons.

Nexus S: Cyanogenmod 7.2 or Stock

Alright the situation is i got a newish phone and plan on giving my nexus S to my parents, right now its running the nightly. I want to be sure they have something stable. So i am looking at either switching it to Cyanogenmod 7.2 or the stock rom. I have heard that they have released 4.1 stock rom for Nexus S, I have not seen it if anyone has a link please comment with it.
My parents are not tech savy but they need a better phone. So Stock or Cyanogen?
The JB Android 4.1 update is very stable. Set them up with that by following the steps given in our nexus s forums. Good luck!

I would recommend Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Stock. Should be totally sufficient + they get to have Google Now
I recommend on CM9.0 RC-2, which is stable and up to date

I would use a cym 9 rc2 because everything pretty much works and its really fast with the matr1x kernel. It also has great battery life with just enough customization.

I would use the Stock Stock JB Update or the cm9 RC2, but not cm7.2
definitely stock JB. You can download for Widgetsoid 2.x for notification toggles and a battery % widget, and they're set! JB is really feature rich and awesome!
For 4.1 JB I was looking around for a guide for Nexus S 4.1 rooted. My version is I9020XXJK8. I gave seen a few guides but not that many links for the actual zip of JB 4.1. Also how do you update CWM?

Try this. If you have JB then just do the bottom part (superuser, clockworkmod, etc.)

Newbie help

Hi!
Iam new to android world using a samsung S i897.
I want to install JB and found the slim rom in this (awesom) forum.
The slim version of android is a part of it? What Im missing? There are features that where left out?
Iam confuse on which are oficial versions and how obtain them and which are mods or custom versions. Exist a ICS official rom for my phone? Is better upgrade to that version or the JB slim rom?
Thanks!!!
None of the Galaxy S series of phones are getting official ICS, let alone JB.
So anything for your phone that's ICS or Jellybean is unofficial.
And you should use Slim JB because its waaay better than stock GB and has no bloat, along with performance boosts. Heck, any custom ROM is better than official versions (aside from the usual bugs when they are in early development).

You may want to look at CyanogenMod 9.. or wait around for a CyanogenMod 10
Google it, I can't post links yet..
You can wait (stable) custom jelly bean version if that appear as it is the most recent android version.

The captivate has good jb ROMs such as hellybean or slim bean as you said. But these guys are right, there will never be any ICS or JB official updates for it because its an outdated phone much like the vibrant or original i9000. The closest you get to stock would be slim bean or slim ICS.

Serch normal JB Rom and flash that. Or ICS if you will not find normal stable JB.
Thanks!!
I will try that.

[Q] Need some advice whether to upgrade P3100 to JB or flashing custom JB rom?

Hi All,
Would need some of your advices and idea whether I need to upgrade my current P3100 running stock ICS 4.0.4 (THL version) to OTA leaked JB with Indian version or the custom JB rom one? I not sure if there are any pro & con between stock ICS and stock OTA JB or custom JB one?
Appreciate for your advice and noted that very few active threads for this device not like other very active like SII, SIII...etc.
Anybody pls?
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda premium
Its really up to you! If you're unhappy with stock and want a load of customization go with aokp
If you want customization go with cm10/9
If you like the stock but you really want to flash something go flash deodexed/debloated stock by romswell
Flash The ota leak is if you're really curious to see what samsung has done!
Edit: I almost forgot flash paranoid android if you want to customize the size color and the behavior of each app selectively!

[Q] Returning from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2

Hello,
I have searched the Razr HD threads with no avail. I have been running CM 10.1, 4.2.2 and would like to return to a 4.1.2 ROM(Nexesque deodexed/zipaligned 9.16.6 (4.1.2) base). 4.2.2 is still a bit buggy for my taste, specifically the camera issues. As I understand, I need to return to the stock kernel prior to flashing a 4.1... ROM via a boot.img file?
Does anyone have the link to the stock Kernel to flash? Also, can I flash this in CWM Recovery? If not, a link to instructions would be great.
This is relatively new to me as ROMs generally have the Kernels built in and flash automatically when installing in Recovery. At least thats how it was with my old HTC INC.
Thanks for your help and assistance.

it was ok for me
I restored to my stock back up, re-wiped, and re-flashed. All is well.
