[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Bugless Beast is good, but a little outdated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!!)

I'm on latest jellyshot with marmite kernel and everything seems pretty fast and stable.I certainly suggest it.

4.2 performance

Can some users comment on the performance of the 4.2 ROM's out there. How to they compare to EOS3.
Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

Running CM-nightly on MZ601, I can not see any difference in performance between EOS and CM.

have tried all 4.2 roms. cm and eos are nearly same. Orca is smoother with slightly more bugs.

To quite honest with you I thought Eos 4 was a flop compared to Eos 3. That was until I installed "Elemental X" kernel. Now it has the performance that it desperately needed, even with animation added!!!

I'm on dreamcwli's My Android with Elemental X 0.7 and it gives the best performance that I've ever had on my Xoom.
Haven't tried Orca as I thought it would be too bloated, surprised to hear its running so well, good, the more roms the better.
But generally a near stock ROM is fine for me on my tab

You cannot change the system partition.
Ensure that you are using the appropriate Gapps for the ROM and not just the standard ones

I am using EOS4 190 nightly with Elemental X 0.8 and it works very well. The newer Elemental X kernals seem a little laggier to me.

Yeah I think I had tried one of the first nightlies for 10.1 back in January and noticed a lot of lag, but April nightlies seem just as fast as 10.0 pretty much. YMMV.
The navbar still drives me nuts but I'm working on that.

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

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.
