I don't know if it's all in my head, but it seems like my phone is snappier, less "jittery", less laggy, etc. with the stock CM7 kernel as opposed to another custom kernel.
Anyone else feel that way since the last few nightly builds?
I wonder what the battery life comparison is.
I feel the same. Stock is God enough. Tried Netarchy 1.3.7 also.

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.

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.
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. ;-)

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?

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.

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.
Okay, I have been reading for quite some time about the different kernels and can't decide what to do. I am stock, rooted, and unlocked. I have been playing with Set CPU and can't tell much of a difference regardless of what settings I use. I have alot of screen time on my phone and am more interested in battery savings as opposed to over clocking. I feel this phone is plenty fast under clocked but not saving any battery that I can tell.
I don't want to use a kernel that had the potential to be great later, I want 1 that is good out of the box. I have downloaded clean kernel and trinity but can't find the stock kernel if those don't work out so well. I also read that to use trinity successfully, you need to download an app.
What is everyone's thoughts? Not trying to start anything, just looking for some comparative feedback without cluttering the kernel threads.

You don't really need the trinity toolbox to tweak trinity kernel. System tuner works well with all TW kernels I've used.
Overall, all of them are great. May just be a matter of preference. Play and see what you prefer.
That said, my personal preference is for Imoseyon's lean kernel, either v.05 or the newer v.07. Very stable. Have to go to www.rootzwiki.com to get it.
It plays well with synergy, cleanrom, and builtin with beans Rom.

I was wondering about his kernel, I used to use it on my Bolt. I will give it a try, thanks for the info!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
No prob.
V0.6 was not battery friendly so I can't recommend that.
Can tweak voltages with v.07. Pretty fun, but did not improve battery life for me. Fun to play with though...
My favorite to date is 0.5. Rock stable and smooth as heck.

The best rom for gaming is GamerzRom v3, you can try it also with marmite kernel.
Carbon, Gamers are reported to by the fastest (I've tryed Carbon with Marmite8.5Cm and it's awesome), the latest stable build of SlimBean is stable to withn great batterey and a kernel based on Marmite, I'm curently on XenonHD v9 with Marmite non CM because I love the built in intd scripts that cantbe changed imediatly (like 3g speed hack for example), but if you're new to Nexus S and the flashing stuf I recomend Carbon as it has a good amount of features without being to intrusive on rom settings that could damadge your experience with IT. hAppy Flashing! :laugh:
Yep, I would recommend Carbon with the Kernel it comes with, or try with Marmite kernel too. Blazing fast, easy to use, lots of features. But in any case just feel free to look into the Dev section and see how many ROMs you can find there. Have fun
I tried all of above roms, they are speedy once you fresh install them. After you install few 10 apps, they become significantly less speedy.
As for gaming they are not much different than any other 4.2.2 rom. Carbon stock kernels gpu performance wasn't great for me, not to mention its was quite unstable (don't know how is with newer releases).
Gamerz rom usually scored on antutu around 1500-1600, which is pretty much the same as Cyanogenmod 10.1, but CM10.1 is almost bug free.
So if i can recommend you a good rom, id say try CM10.1, its speed matches above roms, stability is awesome. And if you want extra juice, flash kernel marmite 8.* over it, and Brainmasters tweaks.
Thanks!
Thanks ppl! I appreciate it! I will Go for Carbon Rom and Marmite Kernel cz almost everyone praises it! as for CM, I will check it out later!
I use rasbeanjelly !!! The best for me
I tried the CM 10.1 RC1 and after 4 days it started to be unbelievably slow... I'm downgrading to CM 9.1 because JB seems to be really slow after a while on my phone....
No wonder..
For Android 4.+ you need to reduce number of apps which always run in memory, like Facebook, Whatsapp, Skype etc. Or use Greenify to make them hibernate when phone is in sleep. Thats the only way which low mem device like ours runs 4.0+ versions normally.

Ok, I'm giving a try to this app.
Thanks!
Try the Greenify app for memory issues, it does wonders.
Rasjellybean + matr1x = performance + rock solid stability at 1320ghz overclock my cousin and I both own a Nexus S and not a single reboot after 2 months. However I left that Rom for hellybean because of all the feature at the cost of stability at high OC, I don't know about you guys but marmite doesn't seem to like my device and gamerz ROM performance isn't that good
