By the way Every Android 4.2.2 ROM is Better then Google Stock ROM Android 4.1.2 :laugh:
Benchmark of Stock ROM Android 4.1.2 is Just 1500+ .. So, i am Very disappointed..

I agree that there is no best ROM, I just wish I had the problem of picking a best 4.3 ROM for the NS4G... there are like 3 choices, maybe, and they don't handle data well, if at all.

Benchmark doesn't mean anything. I mean even if the do, there more than a benchmark number to the every day use.
It's also about stability, smoothness, memory management, multi app use.
I truly think 4.2.1 stock is the most stable of all of them. Add a good kernel to it, and it's like google on steroid. Again, we are talking 512ram here, so don't expect too much. People expect different things from their phone. I don't play games at all, but I stream music via bluetooth constanly while I use navigation. Imagine these 2 memory hogs running at the same time and someone is calling you.
4.2 for me personally was a bit buggy. 4.3 is much better, still not as good as 4.1.

Does BlackBean-9 to Nexus S?

Sorry folks, best rom threads get closed, why? because history shows that almost all of them become arguments over what rom is "better" and essentially, that is something that can only be determined by individual users.
Members are expected to read the thread in development to determine what is "best" for them.

What is the most stable and complete JB rom?

All I want is a very stable rom that stays true to android and doesn't break any features. Sorry if this is a basic question.
Quick answer is nine of the JB roms are as stable as the ICS ones, and the most stable are TW roms. You have to try out and decide for yourself I guess.
I like paranoid android.
All JB roms have issues. In waiting until CM10 fix the low audio in video record issue then it would be my daily driver.

+1. I am for the Paranoid Android as well. There are some "very minor' nuances but overall its a rock solid ROM. In some other thread i reported that I needed to settle down on a ROM since i was jumping around too much with flashing different ones. This is the one I settled with.

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.

The most stock rom is greenblue Aosp here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001684
Thanks for all your suggestions. Much appreciated.
I'm currently trying Helly Bean and liking what I'm seeing.
I will stick with this for a week or two and see how it performs.
Happy Easter everyone.

A Stable rom with 4.1/4.2 (P3100) [request]

I currently use with the cyanogenmod 4.1 (Cyano 10) .. but it has many bugs, the tablet turns itself off, sometimes hangs .. That really leaves something to be desired .. then an application if any of you know of some friends rom with android 4.1 or 4.2 and that is stable, please let me know
- Thank you - Translated by google translator.
You can find many in the development forum .. Personally, I'd prefer CyanogenMod roms , it is stable and receive proper updates and continual developments. AOKP is awesome too .. Should give them a try. Sticking to stocks may be useful sometimes, but if so, we wouldn't be here in the first place
Anyway, I think the best thing is that you try almost everything and then decide by your own

Definitelly try Slimbean. You will be amazed how awesome it is. The last build has a little problem with maps aplication but there is a patch in slimbean thread that solves it. Rom is very stabble and smooth and the battery life is uncompareable to other roms i've tried. For P3100 it's the best non stock based rom that you can get I think(it's my on personal opinion).

Cyanogenmod 10.1 has problems with calling and head sets and stuff. Slim bean... I don't know. But pacrom fixes all of that.
Make sure you get the April 29 build and not the may 1st as it has some bugs.

Thank you friend, I'll try this rom, slimbeam, I'm still not a real developer, but I'm improving courses, seeking to make changes between this .. thank you.

What is everyones favourite rom combination?

Currently im running cm 10.1.2 stable with marmite cm 8.7 (smartassv2/cfq 100/1000)
with direct inject tweaks
Still dissatified with the performance =/ might end up going back to 4.1.2, been a while

Wait for 4.3 ROMs to come out. I'm peronally using slim 4.3 alpha and quite satisfied with it's performance.
I've tested so much 4.2.2 ROMs for a while but as a result, I also returned to the latest factory image. Now I'm happy with stock 4.1.2 + marmite kernel. That's the first time I could use an uptime session for more than 3 or 4 days. To not support 4.2.* on Nexus S was a smart decision of Google—sorry for the truth, the fewest of us will accept this.
I've also tested this "direct inject" tweaks, but to be serious again: did you really felt the turbo? In my opinion it's a real placebo on our Nexus S.
Maybe I will try 4.3 in the future but I don't really trust the hype today.
4.1.2 + a new kernel, to get more RAM and a lot of great features (like voodoo sound, BLN,...), that's really enough for me. We all forget that new features will also be released in "older" Android versions. A 4.1 from 2012 isn't comparable with a 4.1 from today (e.g. updated Gapps, or features like the new Android Device Manager).

I have tried a ROM, or two, and I agree that 4.1 ROMs run smoother than 4.2.. the battery and performance are nearly the same.. But Slim ROM 4.1.2 is the best balance of features, battery and performance; combined with the newest kernels..
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Personally HellyBean 4.1 and 4.2 are my fav...but then again I'm what you call a flashaholick and CM10, BlackBean 6, or Slim 3.1 work great for me, all of them coupled with marmite kernel
I'm happy with stock 4.1.2 + marmite kernel.

Using 4.3 slim bean alpha as well. work much much smoother than 4.2.2. The only issue I have is that when I try to open "developers options" in the setting menu, it causes the app to crash. Besides that I am very happy with it.
Where could I grab the stock 4.1.2 rooted ROM?

i would say, if you are rooted and have a custom recovery that supports 4.4.x (Philz Touch recovery), make a nandroid backup with it and try Dokdo project 4.4.2 KitKat for me everything works better then 4.1.2/4.2.2 or 4.3 custom roms/stock and use PA-Gapps Full.
Try it, you can always restore your nandroid backup later if you really don't like it
4.4.2 is actually better for me. I recommend giving it a try.

It's so worth it, trust me.
From the moment i tried 4.4 i knew that i could never get a phone with a lower version.
All the phones i tried it on gets better battery time, runs smoother and overall better than any android version before it.
I have no problems at all on my Nexus S running CM11.
Don't listen to much to everyone complaining about things, try it and make up your own mind!
GL mate!
ok i flash the 4.4.2 ..the rom is super fast..but on browser and some plugin not work and sometimes slow ...so if u dont use browser u can go to 4.4.2 for speed
