What's the best rom for nexus s?

In your opinion what's the best ROM for nexus s and why?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Right now Oxygen 2.3.2 Workds great for me. But CM7 and NSCollab are also 2 very great Roms. In the end you have to test yourself which Rom fits you best..

for whatever reason, anything CM-based has always run clunky for me on this phone. bugless beast is good, but imo oxygen is your best bet.
i run carbon co2 1.1, which actually runs a lot smoother for me than oxygen despite it just being a themed oxygen mod.

there is no best , everyone has his/her own damands and needs
also , every ROM has its own good point and weak point , all depends on what you want
-------------
for the moment , i like MIUI brainmaster , good UI although kills my battery very fast but i have additional one , so i wouldn't worry about it

Have you tried Trinity TEUV kernel?

I use and recommend Oxygen 2.3.2 with latest SG-11UV kernel. Stable, great battery life (with 200-1100 lazy) and 4600+ Quadrant score fast @ the available 1320MHz

I prefer stock rooted with a BLN-supported kernel (using Peter Alfonso's).

well , no completely , i had almost every kernel in dev section flashed and used about a day or so , can't really tell how much good or bad were them during that short of time .
talon , franco , netarchy, lucid , matr1x , trinity , peter alfonso ...etc

Peter's and Trinity are your best bet with battery life and performance =] you should try another ROM
as for me i run smoothly on a CM kang + THERMITE

thanks for advice, I was using stock with talon kernel, battery was pretty good,but since I brought second battery so i no longer worry about it

Hi There,
Generally there's no "Best Rom"... every rom has its pro & cons as well as its own features ... I suggest you to try a couple of them mentioned on this thread, all of them are really valid, result of great work of many and skilled developers.
To me, KelLMSKing MIUI 2.6.2 ( http://goo.gl/oMIiE ) runs really fast on my phone more then CM7.1 with which I had many problems.

The latest Oxygen release to me is the best. Very fast. Rock solid stable. Great battery life.
It dies nit add anything fancy, just keeps the look and feel of stock.

Yesterday I decided to give oxygen another look and to me it takes too many things out of stock. You can't hold press to change the wall papers, the phone icon in the launcher is not as nice looking as stock, the music app is out dated and it won't update to the new one you have to just have 2 music apps and there was a few other things that bugged me also but those were the top 3 I can think of.

[Q] Feedback and Question on best ROM?

Hi guys I have gone from one ROM to another all professing to be the smoothest or most stable but all have left some what of a bitter taste in my mouth. My current ROM seems to be the most stable and have all the basic modcons working AndroidHD v1.0 | ICS
So I’m on a UK I9020 and I’m like preferably ICS over GB and main important points to consider for me would be
Battery Life, Stable, and Fast,
I am a bit of a power user but the ROM don’t have to have to many mods or sparkles just need something that doesn’t reboot at least twice a day and gives me battery life for 12 hours plus with fair use of apps and internet.
Please help at the end of my tether

yeah i'm in the same spot...i have been trying some ics roms and many claim "fast & stable & rock solid & butter smooth" etc
But they dont feel that way to me...i really like ics but i think its still slowish. GB is way faster.
Currently on codenameandroid 1.2.0 with matr1x 15.5 cfs

Come on guys don't all hide now lol, need your applied knowledge. Some one must have some thing they can recommend

try AndroidMe 1.1.0 not a single issue for me ,when on others ics roms i had fcs and reboots.
battery life around 16h with 3h of 3g and 3h screen on with brightness set at 68%.

CM 9 1.1 has been stable and brutally fast, better than stock IMHO. Only thing missing is FB sync.

Only thing thats kept me from CM roms is the worry that apps wont work with them, what sort of uptime do you get?

kangy v10 or AOKP milestone 3, damn good , with Matr1x kernel.
smooth , stable , battery friendly

im using the last cm9 kang with a bare boned(no mods added) trinity kernel, not a single stutter or speed bumbs. fast, stable, and everything works.

Now I'm using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS, well, as far as I can tell, it is quite stable and battery is not draining so fast.
Try some roms with AOSP tags, these roms have less modifications and mods, and maybe have a better better performance.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

just tried a few roms. sorry to say that the stock rom is the best, so far.
Stock is stable, but a bit slow. but the slow problem is same in other custom roms.
I don't have the problem of battery drain.
Downloading 4.0.4 rom ported from NS4G. Hope it fix the speed problem.
Don't want to use 2.3 anymore, though 2.3 is fast and stable

I tried these custom roms -
Mv 2.1.27, 2.1.28(cm9) lots of added features, but less stable than stock
Miui - although I am a Chinese, don't like this Chinese rom.
Slow. Don't know the cause. Rom still in alpha? Or wasting CPU power on beautiful ui?
Unfamiliar ui Is another problem. Not my cup of coffee

No reboots on stock kernel and CPU speed. Overall, I've found all ICS ROMs to be moe robust than gimgerbread, with very little issues.

stable ICS rom?

Hey guys, I bought myself a Nexus S one month ago and I've flashed about 15 different ICS ROMs. Is it just me or are there almost no stable ICS ROMs? All of them had random reboot issues apart from AOKP and CM9. I had no reboots on AOKP but the clock got stuck every 2nd day, so my phone wouldn't wake me in the morning which is even worse. CM9 I liked a lot, but I couldn't phone in the hands free mode (don't know the propper name of it in english) because the mic wasn't loud enough. Currently I'm on ras cream sandwich and it reboots while i'm listening to music which is really frustrating. Oh and before i forget, I always flashed matr1x kernel and used smartass governor, no OC.
Is there any stable ICS ROM apart from CM9 and AOKP? Or can i fix the other bugs?
Thanks in advance!

Your problem is the kernel, not the rom. My phone also reboots while listening to music in the undervolted matrix kernel. Stay with rascream and flash the _thalamus kernel and see how stable it is. That kernel is really stockish and stable. If you don't want to flash you could try to raise your voltages to stock values in nstools. Some phones like undervolting, some not. ;-)
Verstuurd van mijn Nexus S met Tapatalk

hm I didn't know matrix kernel was undervolted, I thought that's only the case with trinity TEUV kernel by default well I'll try another kernel for the time being and see how that goes.

Yeah. Some of our phones can't handle the voltages mathkids kernel supplies outta the box unfortunately. Either adjust them back to the stock ones or search for another kernel. I prefer either thalamus or Simple Kernel. I just recently flashed the latest version of the former and its great. You can try Air kernel if you want a few more governors and whatnot.

Like.. that's what STOCK is all about.
The people that made the phone are the most interested in making a stable ROM, no compromises.

Most stable and fast rom
Try APEX ROM 1.1.2 (latest release), that's what i'm using until aokp milestone 6 comes out. there is no lag, no reboots (just if u OC too much),...

Slim rom with no tweaks is smooth. Try it and u will not regret it.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G

MIUI roms are very stable these days.

Well it differs from phone to phone. My phone is good with Matrix kernel. Might be one of the best custom kernels to run for my phone if not the best. Matrix isn't a compromise for my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G

For several days I'm with Slim ICS and Matr1x and I have no problems with random restarts. No OC and no tweaks!

Try CyberGR ROM
I have installed CyberGR ROM and I have not suffered any reboot. I followed one by one all the steps of the development part and I'm quite happy with it.
Good luck.

Well, if you really want stable, get Stock 4.0.4. I'm on 1100+ hours on uptime without a single reboot... The only thing I've done to the stock 4.0.4 is getting root.

I would also like to know. from my own experience, stock 4.0.4 is best, but can CM9 very be made that stable? I'm running it now with ink kernel and no tweaks and it seems slightly laggy :/ should I flash brainmasters tweak pack?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Bugless Beast hasn't given me any issues. I've rebooted to flash other kernels but the only two kernels that have given consistent performance are Simple(stock with bln) and thalamus. Once I get my new battery, I may see how long I can go without rebooting. But if you want rock solid, go with stock ROM. Hell, my cousin has an EVO 4G and has almost 1200 hours up time. Lol.
Sent by pocket technology.

AOSP+ definitely belongs to this category. Stock with a few useful modifications.

You should try AOKP again
I know you've already used AOKP but you should try/flash it again. I'm sure that the clocking was freezing because of some flashing issue.
Go to this link and download the milestone-5 version (m5) of AOKP. Also, you should use this rom with matr1x v19.5 cfs.
Milestone means that it's stable, so you shouldn't have problems with it. I use this rom and matr1x 19.5 on my daily device and haven't had any problems nor reboots. Great performance and great battery life too. Besides that, the rom is highly customizable.

Apart from stock, Have you tried BuglessBeast? Very stable. No need to flash any custom kernels.

if ur using ra scream use one of the trinity kernels. its super stable, super smooth, and long battery life

im using this black ice rom, in love with it .. shud try

I searched the internet and apparently I'm not the only one with that problem. I tried AOKP twice (i think build 32 or something and m5), always with matr1x kernel. Could this also be a kernel Issue?
I don't know that much about Android, but what I found out in the past days is that my Nexus S can't handle UV. I also get very high Android OS battery usage sometimes but I don't know why. High meaning Android OS once used more battery than display even though i had 2h screen on time. I suspect it's got something to do with titanium backup not restoring apps correctly, but that's just a stab in the dark.
Currently I'm on Apex v1.1.2 with stock kernel. No random reboots so far. I didn't restore apps via titanium backup (which was a pain in the ass). So far Android OS seems to use way less battery than before. But yesterday I had something like SOD when received a call while using TuneIn, so I had to pull the battery and call back. Not what I call stable.
I know that's a lot of text and probably also a bit OT sometimes but I hope some of you will read it , I'm not really a flashoholic and I'm getting sick and tired of switching roms, but I need my phone to be reliable. I'm really tempted to just switch back to stock ROM with stock kernel at the moment...
the things I'd really like to have is bln, notification toggles and stability.

[Q] Could you recommend a good JellyBean ROM for Nexus S

I'm currently running latest stock Android 4.1.2 on my Nexus S. It appears that official Google support has come to an end and therefore there is no point keeping the original software. It also seems to me that current version of Android on Nexus isn't exactly a good example of well optimized software which is the reason why I'm looking for an alternative.
My requirements are speed, stability and possibly better battery life. Extra functionality is not important, I'm happy with 4.1.2 as it is. However I don't want to downgrade to ICS not to mention Gingerbread.
So could you recommend me a good alternative rom for Nexus S, based on your own experience? I'm currently thinking of CyanogenMod because there is plenty of people behind it and its really famous so I guess it should be stable and reliable but I haven't decided yet. What do you think?

I use AOKP with the marmite kernel. Works great.

Same here currently on cm 10 stable with default kernel for weeks now it's been really fast and stable. Was surprised. I had tried cm10 when it came out for our device and it was pretty bad stability and battery wise so I went to aosp roms.... Gave stable a shot and wow it has come a looooooong way in such a short time

Another vote for CM10. I'm currently using the new rasbean, but if 4.1.2 is good with you, I'm not sure anything can beat the stability of the stable version of CM10.

Having tried tons of amazing ROMs on ICS, I feel there were more stable and fluid options than with 4.1... That's not to say 4.1 didn't have great ROMs, I'm just saying that it was harder to find a stable, speedy, efficient 4.1 ROM... If you want to stay with 4.1, then I can only vouch for BAKEDbean 6... I haven't tried as many 4.1's as I did with 4.0... From memory, Slim Bean was pretty good... I just didn't like some of the included options...
Now here's what I can say about 4.2 ROMs... Since you don't mind missing some included features like theme chooser, statusbar tweaks, etc... Then I would highly suggest Rasbean with Matr1x CFS 24.0 (non-cm version)... I always told myself that I would never use a ROM without theme chooser... But after trying this ROM, I've discovered that speed and fluidity is way more important to me than a few extra features... This ROM is amazing... I'm getting much better battery life with this combo than with any 4.1 combo I tried... At the very least, give it a try
*edit* in case you see reviews or read somewhere that it's not a "stable" release... I would ignore that crap because I haven't had a single issue with this ROM other than the phone app fc'ing after some calls which is 4G related... and since you're on crespo, you won't have that problem... Everything works on this ROM!!!

Moved to Q&A section....thank you.

Hey, thanks to all of you guys. I switched to CyanogenMod 10 since many of you have recommended it and it also seemed to me pretty solid and reliable. Nexus S now does seem a little bit faster and more fluid however it's hard to tell after less than a day of using it. I won't go back anyway, those few extra features are really nice. My problem with stock JB was that it suffered from some kind of memory leak... quite often I ended up with literally 0 MB of free ram. The phone also got quite often to a state of total unresponsiveness for few moments without any obvious reason. None of these problem has occured in CM so far however for example during heavy usage, when I go back to home screen, the launcher is really slow (1-2fps) for few seconds. But I guess I can't expect much from 2 year old hardware.
You also mentioned several alternative kernels... what can I expect from that in daily usage?

I have not an ounce of lag on rasbean 4.2.1... I didn't think it would get better than 4.1 but it clearly does... I don't think everyone that recommended cm10 has even tried a 4.2 ROM yet... BTW, cm10.1 will be released soon and I'm sure everyone with update then...
For kernel, use airkernel or matr1x... Think of the kernel as the brain of the phone... It tells the phone what to so with the hardware... So you can tweak things foe better speed or better battery or even attempt to get a good balance between the two...
My last time mentioning it... I would strongly recommend you to backup your current setup and flash the 4.2 ROM with matr1x 24.0... That is all

Well I know what the kernel is (I have been using Linux on my desktop for several years ) I was just curious how one can benefit from using an alternative kernel for Android. You say I can tweak things for better speed or battery life... does it mean that I can for example sacrifice 30% of battery life and exchange it for 30% of performance in gaming? What are the limits of this tweaking?

[Q] Best simple, stable rom?

I have a I9020A (crespo) Nexus S and I can't seem to figure out which ROM to try. I just tried SlimBean because it seemed to suggest it was slim, but it ended up being laggy and almost worse than stock. Doesn't seem so slim to me.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Battery life: Very important
Features: I could care less. If I need a specific feature I could install an app for it.
Smooth and quick: Very important. I want a responsive phone. I hate when I get someone's contact info and I have to wait for the phone to respond for like 5 seconds at the worst possible time. Jerky is OK as long as it is fast and usable.
That's it. What ROMs meet the above criteria?
If I recall correctly Gingerbread seemed to be pretty darn responsive when it was natively on my phone. But after the OTA update to ICS and JellyBeans it seemed to get laggy and slow. Of course I could be mis-remembering or it be related to the amount of stuff I collected on the phone.
Also, is there any rom that doesn't degrade performance so much when the phone fills up with content? Seems like 50% of the phone has to be empty for it to run decently.

try jellyshot

Strawberry ROM. (4.1.2)

I have the exact model as you. I would suggest in this order:
1) ROM: Jelly Shot with Marmite 8.6 CM version (non bigmem)
- Battery life 8.5/10
- Speed 9/10 (felt really smooth, no noticeable lag in ui or apps)
- Stability 8/10 (had one random reboot)
- Overall: 8.5
2) ROM: Rasbeanjelly with Marmite 8.6 CM version (non bigmem)
- In the process of trying this combo
3) ROM: CM 10.1 with stock kernel
- Battery life 7.5/10
- Speed 8/10 (pretty fast but I get the occasional lag once a multiple apps have been in use recently)
- Stability 7/10 (no real stable version of cm out yet, got some random reboots using it and force closes on some stock apps)
- Overall: 7.5
Add those with the free Greenify app and you should like how fast, smooth and long lasting your battery life/phone is.
But you might wanna try Strawberry 4.1.2 like the above poster stated, 4.1.2 has been said to provide much better battery life than most 4.2.2 ROMs and Strawberry is highly praised I've tried it in the past and I would agree it was pretty damn good.

Where can I download the Marmite 8.6 CM version (non bigmem)? The kernel I'm using for JellyShot doesn't seem very good. Still has lag issues while waiting for apps to load up etc.

why non bigmem?

100.1% Google experience with Marmite kernel.

For what you described JellyShot with Marmite CM kernel or Devil kernel or RasbeanJelly with Marmite, they have the best batery life and smoothness and if you dont care about it beyng a 4.2 device try CM10 stable with Marmite or HellyBean 4.1 with the same one and only Marmite

Considering that I spend all day at a computer listening to my Nexus S (Tunein Radio and Google Music) I know how my phone sounds and I know the sound changes when i enable Voodoo. When I enabled Voodoo Sound with bigmem It did not feel as smooth as it did with Helly Bean/Devil Kernel combo which I had been using for months previously.
So when I tried the Jelly Shot bigmem combo which everyone raves about I dropped the bigmem kernel from Jelly Shot and used Devil kernel instead and viola - Voodoo Sound was back again. The ROM still runs super smooth as well, virtually lag free still after a week.
This is just my personal opinion, I may just be dreaming it, it could be the placebo effect who knows. But considering I listen to my phone all day everyday of the working week, what I stated above is what I detected.
For me its the perfect union

Yes I did. Just before Christmas. I was on a early Marmite version, maybe 6 or something lower and using it with stock ROM. I kept on getting random reboots when streaming radio. I then moved over to Helly Bean/Devil Kernel and I did notice that Voodoo was better. So maybe its Marmite in general.
