Fastest rom (android 4+) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
One of my friends has this phone and he says me it is really slow. What do you thing are the fastest and slimmest rom? We don't want to overclock but maybe some rooms have some optimisations. That's what we hope.
Thanks a lot guys

Not being funny, but how many times has this question been asked?= too many times! Without appearing rude, perhaps you should search a little through the Q&A threads & read the many answers people have posted to this ( many times asked! ) question!
Even better idea! Go to the devlopment section & download a few for yourself to try!
Try them out! That's the best way. I like codename android 1.4 with Matr1x kernel. Just to give you somewhere to start

You've got to just try them out. I started with gummynex..was good..i tried CyberGR-MOD...stuck to it for few weeks...also liked it..very stable everything working.. now i am using Nuhetri-reloaded v 3.01...it seems to be extremely stable..based on ICS 4.04 an I am using Air Kernel 3.3 and liking it a lot.. i am finding it's been the fastest / smoothest ROM i have tried to date...
go on...be a FLASH WHORE
the NexusMV roms are on the top of my list
My favorite is nuhetri-reloaded-v3.0.1 and for me it was very stable and smooth. I use nuhetri's rom since v2.3.0 without any issue. No lags and no reboots

If you don't trust these numbskulls, go check the forums for your phone and see which one has has the highest views/thread count. Those are usually your best bet for a good (stable) rom.
I tried 3-4 custom roms. Cyber GR is the best. Fast (though not fastest), stable, lots of useful features.

I suggest you try to flash ROMs and Kernels. Best ROM for me might not be the best for you it depends on how you use your phone. All ICS rooms in the dev section are stable since we have the official ICS update. BTW Im using cyberGr stormy 3 v8. Happy flashing...

Quick warning that may help you: on the portal a few days ago there was an article about an issue with offical (leaked) SGS2 kernels that can cause your eMMC to become corrupted. That will irreversibly brick your phone. Just be careful

You should give a try to cyanogenmod 9 (they said its pretty unstable but still)
No CM9. Please try one of the many custom Samsung roms and AOKP roms which are trending at the moment....

Hey. Try resurrection remix. It's in the SGS2 android development section. And I find that the SiyahKernel 3.2.7.2 is the best so far. You can turn on bln. This let's your menu and back keys blink when you have a new message.
You have to download "extweaks" from play store to activate this.

I am running JellyBam 4.1.0 right now. But while I am typing this I am downloading JellyBam 5.1.0 based on JellyBean 4.2.1 I've also tried Omega ROM, RootBox ROM but none of them are close to JellyBam. I think JellyBam is the best ROM for Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100.

Isn't this kind of redundant in the General forum where there isn't any one device? Especially seeing as you're talking about specific ROMs rather than bases (i.e. not something like AOSP, MIUI, TouchWiz, Sense etc.). If I said I was using NexusHD2 JB would that really mean anything or make a difference to your choice?

Your an idiot. I was trying to get a poll or collection of pros and coins about your rom . nothing said here is for me to decide the ROM I want. I chooses based of my own parameters not people decisions. Just thought I could get a page about everyone's ROMs and why they chose it. You don't have to be a douche about it.

ROM suggestions

I've noticed that there isn't much dev going on for the Tf101 wifi so I wanna start adding some stuff to the dev thread and good some boost in here... questions..
1. What style if from would you see?? Aokp/Tw etc
2. What style of Audio mods ?? Sony Walkman/Awesome Beats/King Beatz
3 .Any other suggestions..
I'm ready to work with some participating help if possible
A.R.H.D. 3.6 ICS Custom KingBeatz Audio
Wifi itself, or the model TF101 Wifi ?
There is LOADS of dev work going on for the TF101, a good selection of ROMs to choose from
I've tried quite a few recent roms, the best Antutu benchmark performance after some fine-tuning I got was from Gierdo's CM 10 build of RaymanFX's unofficial Cyanogenmod, which is android 4.1. Right now i'm testing Josteink's unofficial Cyanogenmod which has android 4.2, i'm having a hard time matching it to the performance of the latter.
Katkernel is freaking awesome btw.

I have said it before, and I will say it again.
Benchmarks are kinda pointless IMO. I got the best benchmarks on ICS Megatron. However, JB 4.1 (I used the PA/CM10 hybrid) felt faster even though it got worse benchmarks than Megatron. TeamEOS 4 feels faster than JB 4.1 and gets even lower benchmarks.
One theory I have is that the hardware is using more resources to run the OS so it benchmarks worse, but it feels smooth to me. Not to mention some benchmarks have not been fully optimized for all devices running JB, especially a TF101 running 4.2.
I gave up trying to max out the benchmarks a while ago and just find what feels the best and is most functional for my needs. Currently, that is EOS 4.
Benchmarks are just statistics
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
Very true benchmarks IDC about there useless as long as the device looks puurty and kicks ass with feature were good so far dev selection are only CM10.1 from what I've seen the tf101 in general I don't have a tf101 3g so I don't know how well I would be able to support should be as but I'm open to trying
Liquidsmooth with it's kernel
EOS4 with Kat Kernel
No-Name cm10.1 with Kat Kernel.
My suggestions ^
I heard from my friends that cyanagen mod or something is good
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
I will get rock in on this tonight thanks for the suggestions
I'm currently running no-name CM10.1 with Kat Kernel and it's quite good. No issues yet. Was a little rough at first but smoothed out after the first day or so of use.
I find it runs better now than it did on stock ICS.
Been thinking of trying Liquidsmooth or EOS4. Anybody here tried running those 3? Which did you prefer and why?
Only main reason I would try those others is for more customization options/different look.
AW: ROM suggestions
I'd love atouchwiz rom

I'm using EOS 4 for several weeks. All other JB Roms caused many SODs and RRs. Is anybody testing Gierdos CM 10? I really liked it. But this SODs made me sick. Would be interesting if anybody made better experiences with newer versions. Got a 101G.

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.

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.
