You're asking too much. I'll answer appropriately.
Most stable stock ROM?
Probably xboarder56's Tweaked OTA 2.3.3 1.2.2 ROM or faux123's EaglesBlood 2.3.3 on a stock kernel. faux123's stock kernel is way too buggy.
If you want my opinion though, I believe at this point the CM7 nightlies are very stable and have no problem using them as a daily driver.
Fastest ROM?
That's relative to OCing and tweaks. No "real" answer to that.
If you're on 2.3.3. already, SuperOneClick will not work. You'll need to install the CWM recovery and flash a rooted ROM.
ROM Toolbox works fine.

I've seen the same answer to this question time and time again - Find out for yourself what the "best" rom is.
I tried almost all of them, with almost every available kernel, and I decided Weapon G2x with faux's oc/uv kernel is the best combo FOR ME.
This does not, in any way, infer that it will be the best one for you. Do your research, and find out for yourself.

Oh jeez I thought this was the Q&A section on a forums, where you can post threads to ask questions... I didn't know it was the "do a search" replies section. Seriously don't bother posting at all if you only got "do a search" response, thank you very much.

Dude you really got to try a couple. Its the only way. I have tried a lot of them but now I use cm latest stable. Its stable and fast.
You can try new kernals but really the speed isn't that great to notice maybe in benchmarks but that's it!
For true stable and fully functional and pretty fast I would say x's tweaked ota version. It will use your internal SD card by default and everything works.

The real answer is the rom from LG is stock. Any others modified or tweaked are not STOCK.

Maybe you just need to learn how to read. I didn't see anybody tell you to do a search.
I did see some people share their experience in an area you had a question about, that doesn't have a pat answer. "Best" is subjective. I told you what is best for me. Some other users told you what's best for them. We can't tell you what's best for you. You need to find that out for yourself.

If you want lean, fast and stable my two new roms are an excellent choice.

I am using the Colorized version and it has been great. No need for a task manager with this rom. Try it and tell me what you think.

best rom
I've tried a bunch. As battery life is important to me, I think EaglesBlood is the best. Great battery life and minimal issues. The major issue is loss of data when switching wifi off. A reboot fixes that though. This happens to me so rarely that I dont mind it too much. Anyone have any ides on hhow to improve battery life with MIUI?

If you would understand what you are reading, you would see that I wanted to do a POSITIVE REVIEW on his roms. I am an aspiring writer looking for good stories. Yes, I did swoop in, that's why I like the man. He's not afraid to help and self promote at the same time. So, jboxer, if you read this I'm sorry if I came across disrespectful, it was not my intention. It sucks there are so many people willing to start bs and few to help. We were all noobs at one point, I never forgot that.
Lastly, if you really know how to read, I write for ACS. I have never heard of asc neither. To answer the original question and get back on subject, I run Eaglesblood 2.4 with Dragon kernel 1.5.2. If this forum would let me upload pics, I'd post my antutu benchmark of 6797, JUST in case someone wants to call me out on my signature.

Are you happy with ICS 4.0.1 on the Nexus S?

Are you really happy with ICS on the Nexus S?
I need to say, i have tried any version that someone has created, i hate it.
Why? Because of the new multitasking, you can see 4 apps where you have seen 8 before, there seems to be no GPU acceleration in this view, it's sometimes slow and i just hate it.
The music player is soooo slow, needs around 2-3 seconds just to load if you open him for the first time. Yeah, Android has multitasking...but with only 512MB of the Nexus S this ****ty player will always be closed.
The Gallery app is also damn slow, it is not accurate to touch-points, it has laggy scrolling. The old 3D Gallery was just 1000 times better.
And then the home launcher...it force closes many times in the background, he lags sometimes and isn't working fine at all. Launcher Pro has proofed that fast launchers are REAL.
Other then that, it's OK...slower then GB, but OK...i hope Google will fix some things or i won't buy any further Android device...WP7 all the way (also just 1Ghz and 512MB but soooo fast)...

These are gn ports the official ics rom will be smoking

Seems like your main gripe is with speed and stability which you have no reason to criticize on the current builds of ICS because of one simple reason:
The ICS port these ROMs are built on were not made for the Nexus S.
If you want to criticize, wouldn't it make sense to do so on the finished product and not on a ROM that some stranger threw together and posted on some forum? The ICS ROMs in the dev section are simply that. I'm actually surprised that CM threw their name on Koush's ROM as there is nothing official about it. One only has to look at the kernel to see that (read: they are using the GB kernel for an ICS ROM). That's all you need to look at.

Played with it just for playings sake, but as a daily driver, nope.
I'm a news nut and most sites still use flash a lot, BBC, CNN, MSNBC, e.t.c and no flash on ICS means no videos and such, plus just generally it's laggy, battery draining and just not satisfactory to me at all. Sygic GPS app wouldn't run and gave an error message about lack of hardware acceleration (?), amongst other annoyances.
Yes I know these are not official builds but one can still have an opinion like the OP, regardless.

Well, i hope that they can fix this...but from a developer standpoint (Not Android and Java) i can not see that such HUGE improvements can be done. For example, the gallery app has the same sluggish performance as the one on Honeycomb...

How many times do we have to say that the current ICS roms are made of the GALAXY NEXUS source. So they are ''ports''. the offial update wil be wayy faster with the correct drivers for our device

1. Have you not scrolled the task switcher? I've counted up to 16 apps here and while it takes longer to open than I'd like, it scrolls smoothly for me 99% of the time.
2. FCs and random sluggishness are to be expected in Alpha builds but I haven't had any since updating to Alpha 13 + Franco's December 12 kernel.
3. Most importantly, this is not only Alpha but we don't even have a real ICS kernel yet. Please be patient.

ICS on Nexus S will gradually be faster, it'll take some time. Not too much longer since Google is working on releasing ICS for Nexus S via official OTA. So at least be thankful for that whereas other phones such as RAZR, Rezound, etc will have to wait longer and rely on the manufacturer.
If this is really a problem. Just get a Galaxy Nexus or go back to Gingerbread and work on CM7 kangs.

The devs here are doing a great job, but there's only so much they're capable of without official release kernels from Google. Once the official release comes out, the vast majority of performance and software bugs will be fixed. To see them even working this well at this point is a very good indicator, imo.

I prefer ICS so much, I havent gone back to GB since the SDK builds...
Long days and pleasant nights............

Lol this is funny. They are using gingerbread kernels, it isn't supposed to be speedy and perfect. Even though ''cm9'' works pretty fast with francisco kernel. And who uses stock player? Use poweramp its amazing.

Same here. I'm loving the ics ports and have been running aosp's oICS since it was released.
Seems that many people are just not adept enough to be able to use android. Stick with iOS or W7 if you can't handle an ice cream sandwich.

v26 of oics is very nice....cant wait for the final ICS from google
cant wait for the roms from that!!!

I'm perfectly happy with
ICS in it's current form. No issues here that I didn't cause

I really like the changes that Google made with ICS and I can't wait til we get an official build with the 3.0 kernel. For now I went back to CM7.1 just for the sake of speed and fluidity but as soon as official ICS is available I will likely say good-bye to GB for good.

NS4G: Who has reverted from an ICS ROM back to GB?

Just curious: who here has tried several different ICS ROM/Kernel combos and gone back to GB?
I've tried just about every ICS ROM out there, with a substantial amount of the Kernels, but it's the little things that are starting to bug me, such as my phone freezing up overnight and making me miss my alarm in the morning.

I will never revert to gb. I've been using ics roms since the sdk builds came out and I think the OS has come a long way since then.
Lately, my phone has been running flawlessly with AOKP Milestone 2 4.0.3 with Steve Garon's kernel. Performance has actually exceeded that of any gb aosp rom I've used. Super-smooth, quick, and efficient, zero lag and my OEM battery lasts more than 30hrs.

I too have been on ICS since the SDK dropped, and I really love it. However, I do understand your frustration. I run into bugs and stutters here and there on pretty much every ROM I've tried.
I did revert back to GB (Oxygen 2.3) for a couple days when I was getting annoyed with a few persistent bugs, but swiftly changed back in favor of ICS beauty.
GB seems far more responsive in a lot of places, which i envy. But these ROMs are all still in their early stages and are only going to get better. The official NS4G update hasn't even been released yet.

I'm never going back to gingerbread, ICS is just so stunning, it contains all these high quality animations and graphics. I think you just haven't tried the right rom. Try AOSP+ by android user and flash Eugenes ICUP kernel and tell me what you think. it will sure drop you jaw cuz its so fast.

Why would anyone revert back to an older version of a software is beyond me. ICS is young compared to GB so of course bugs exist, bit there aren't any bugs that make the phone or any feature unusable

I can completely understand if someone needs rock solid functionality or compatibility with older apps. Luckily, my phone is not critical to my life or job, so I can afford to experiment and run bleeding edge software.
Someone who relies on their phone for work or safety is justified for running a proven, stable os. ICS is improving rapidly, but it is good enough for me and many others as-is.

Have you tried AOKP or vhgomez's 2.5.1 with a Eugene icup or Steve Garon kernel? My phone is smooth and quick with either combination. In fact, scrolling, browsing, and switching apps using the Recent Apps feature feels much better than with aosp or NSCollab 2.3.7

I haven't tried those two in particular, no. But unless they're a massive leap forward from AOSP there's no chance at all. ICS seems to occupy more RAM as well.

That's a good point. I have yet to find out how these people post such ridiculous battery times with ICS. I don't recall "Android OS" ever eating up so much of my battery on GB.

I went back to GB but came back to ICS, I love ICS but went back because of random reboots and mainly battery life. Now I am on AOSP+ 2.3 with speedy 5 kernal and i found out that after i turned Skype off,that battery life is great, so i think some of the problems are related to software compatibility issues that shouldn't take that much of time to be solved. In general, i think ICS is smoother specially when it comes to the built in browser, plus the native support for my native language ( I liked this sentence ) . Hope Google will solve all the issues with the next update.

Android OS battery consumption is just a bug and does not accurately reflect actual power usage, per Google engineer Dianne Hackborn. Ram usage is just fine as well as ics manages memory very well. I typically have only 50mb of free ram, but experience zero lag or slowdowns.
As far as battery life, I NEVER reached 30hrs with a gb rom, but I exceed that with 4+ hrs of screen on time with Steve Garon's kernel:

Agreed with the above. ICS is Android in its best flavour so far. The UI elements are so much more polished and I just love the little touches. Its also faster than gingerbread and honeycomb ever were. And they weren't exactly slow to begin with.
I've had no stability issues so far after just over a month I'm happy to report.

I don't have the option to run the stock ROM, because there is not yet one for the NS4G. However, this is what I am most eager to try, so I hope it comes available soon.

stock UCLB3 > any other ROM

With stock ROM I get:
• 2-3 day battery life
• All apps work
• Strongest signal
• 100% working wifi
• fastest overall, zero load time for almost everything
• and finally I don't need to install gapps or anything
With any other ROM I get:
• Possibly 1 day battery life
• Orgasm if I get any signal at all
• Wifi works completely on one in a billion roms, flaky on most
• Bluetooth rarely works
• No fix for any issues on ROMs that don't have major devs working on them
• Some apps don't work, and on a few ROMs some apps even kill the system and make it hot reboot
• Lag like it's a 3-year-old donut phone with the processor speed of a retarded potato with AIDS
• some need gapps, which is annoying to re-install every time you update, which also, you have to do every few days instead of once a year
So my conclusion is that screw custom ROMs. It might just be my device but that's how it plays out. I'll be much more careful to buy a phone that will have real support in the future, like the SGS II, Captivate, and SGS III do/will have.
Oh yeah and about my sig, that is the only ROM that I've gotten close to working 100%. And he's not a gtg, but he's got more support than big devs like that ever did, so if you're a sheep and need to use custom ROMs go with MoM.

I apologize, but I strongly detest the statement. I do respect every bit of what you have said, but I really do think that it is just a matter of personal use.
I have ran Aeon and other amazing custom ROMs and so far the best I have tried was Zeus 6. There are a few kinks, but hey-- it works!
Consequently, though, it's all a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the debloated stock and customize it their own (i.e., build.prop tweaks, etc).
What I am getting at here is that there is no need to bash other custom ROMs. Although you did not point your finger on any specific one, but it really means a lot for people to like the developers' work. It's an Android Device... This is the main reason we got this: open source.

I didn't really say anything bad about any specific ROM. Only specific ROM I mentioned is MoM and it was only to say something good.

With stock ROM I get:
• 2-3 day battery life
• All apps work
• Strongest signal
• 100% working wifi
• fastest overall, zero load time for almost everything
• and finally I don't need to install gapps or anything
With any other ROM I get:
• Possibly 1 day battery life
• Orgasm if I get any signal at all
• Wifi works completely on one in a billion roms, flaky on most
• Bluetooth rarely works
• No fix for any issues on ROMs that don't have major devs working on them
• Some apps don't work, and on a few ROMs some apps even kill the system and make it hot reboot

I get the opposite results of u bro... my lag on stock is sooo bad that I was about to throw my phone on the ground as hard as I could. Ics with some tweaks was awesome, jellybean should be really good if it ever comes. Now on my tablet stock on that is pretty good, with aosp it would fly though.

Trolling like this is unproductive and is intended only to offend those who contribute to this device. My vote is that someone close this thread, and that wayzata start keeping his opinions of devs to himself.

Make sure you zip it up, this is going to be one of those threads, chief haha

Plus, I agree with ryanscool, any time I have to use stock B3, everything is laggy. Personally, I think that Sammy just did such a crappy job on official GB and used halfass or dirty fixes to make it work. So when ppl try to mod, the crappiness comes out...
There are tons of work being done on the Infuse and I was here when ppl said development was dead; you gotta appreciate what's here man.
My advice Way, stay with stock and stop these random threads broskie

I honestly don't see any xda recognized developers replying to your posts. They most likely have better things to do. I'm no dev, and haven't claimed to be. I'm not mad or even remotely upset, but I do think that you're being a troll. It irritates me enough that you're one of the few people that I'll ever choose to ignore on this site - and I must say, for me, that takes a lot, so congratulations on that.
By the way, here's what you've said directly, and it implies plenty to justify people being irritated with your trolling.:

Anyone still using this? I'm using it as a last option because no custom ROMs seem to be working as fully as this. ICS has a ton of bugs, and modified GB ROMs are made by unpopular devs with little bug support.

Custom ROMS

I really do appreciate all the hard work DEVS put into building ROMS. But I really get frustrated with very buggy ROMS or ROMS not stable for daily use being released WITHOUT IT BEING KNOWN. I mean forgive me if I am wrong but how can someone build a stock ROM and make it run worse than stock? I'm not trying to criticize negatively, but am I alone on this? I think everything about a ROM should be posted on the OP. Not just some stuff but everything like "Known issues" "What doesnt work" and "bugs" should be the first thing we see instead having to look for it and being linked to other sites and what not. I am not trying to sound ungrateful but I really depend on ROMS and would start to DEV myself but find myself too busy providing for my family. I donate when I can and appreciate all the work but maybe there should be a category for only "Stable ROMS" and "Daily Drivers"

in my opinion except Lg devides(Because still I have a Lg), usually stock rom better than costum roms... Almost all costum roms have some problem

Agreed. Just run NoSympathys deodexed, zipaligned, debloated stock rom with imo's v0.1 leankernal...runs amazing..on my way to a 15 hr battery

Run synergy and have bugs in every version? No thanks. Tried it before nosympathy and couldnt switch calls, new version came out 2 days later and had no mms over 160 characters along with settings force close. Its a nice rom, but flashing a new version or fix every other day just doesnt make sense to me.

Bad mouthing? Every post i said the rom is nice, just not for me. Explain how that is bad mouthing? I explained my experience with that rom. Am i only allowed to say good things about it? No its called feedback (good or bad). Get off your internet high horse.
Sent from my SCH-I535

I have been running Synergy for many versions now and never had any of the issues that people have reported, like GPS lock issues, etc.
The ROM is incredibly fast, I get great battery, and bug free for me!

Synergy 1.3 in my opinion works the best on my phone. No problems with battery,gps,kernels or even theming.

So you try to prove you aren't bad-mouthing by making a negative comment about me??
Furthermore, feedback is specific and constructive. Bringing up issues from old builds that are no longer relevant helps no one and leads to a false impression of how the ROM is TODAY.

This may or may not be true but again, not at all helpful for anyone.
Again, this is a development forum. Things are sometimes broken, half-finished, and often WIP. If you don't like what the devs release, then don't flash it. Your other option is to wait until a dev releases a milestone or stable release. It's really that simple.

Some of these devs are amazing and put out some truly awesome work, however these guys are doing it mostly as a hobby or maybe for donations...but I'll bet they all must work a fulltime job.
The factory roms have probably been dissected by over a dozen or more Sammy peeps before even getting to Red for their further adjustments. Therefore it seems reasonable that the stock roms would be more stable and less buggy. That's common sense!
The custom roms allow user to get rid of unneeded bloat as well as adding in hacks and such. Not to mention almost unlimited theming possibilities.
Every dev inserts a disclaimer in their thread for a reason...YOU INSTALL THEIR ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK! So live with it...or live with stock.

I've had multiple rooted phones. I know how to recover possible bricks. I don't ***** about small issues that ARE in fact known and stated. If you need your phone working 100%, then why run custom software that's experimental? I'm amazed YOU haven't bricked yet you negative Nancy.
PS if its not stated in the op, then read the ******* thread and stop being lazy as hell and expecting these guys to do everything for you.....:banghead:

You nailed it. Addict was the only person having issues with Synergy rom and whined and complained from the start that it was the roms fault. Funny that no one else had the issues that he was having. He obviously dorked something up/restored system data from an old build/installed a bad app/never checked md5s or something of that nature.
Then he goes and makes a thread about buggy roms when we all know exactly what he is referring to and we all know it was his own doing.
For everyone's information, Synergy is an awesome rom and has been since it was released. I have had zero issues outside of what I thought was a gps issue but that was my own mess up. I think a few had a different gps issue and that was it and that has since been solved.
Stop spreading crap info addict. You jacked your system up somehow and it had nothing to do with Synergy rom.
Edit: like others said if you want a "perfect" rom then stick with stock. I just don't understand what your complaint is about. It's not like stock doesn't work and someone is forcing you to flash roms every night.

Seems the OP got his answer and to prevent further flaming let's just close this.
To the OP, Devs take time away from their family and providing for them to make ROMs out of sheer enjoyment.
They make them for themselves and share them.
It is impossible to find every bug before the ROM is released. Even Samsung can''t do that.
It also takes a lot of time to support a ROM, updating the thread everytime a real bug is found, not just someone who can't flash or mixed in a bad app or data.
You really should try to make your own ROM, release it and support it before making a crappy thread like this.
If you depend on your phone then you should definitely stick to stock and pray there are not bugs unreported there.
Thank you for your cooperation
