Just Bought A Nexus S On EBay - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What do you think is the better ROM to flash (of the KitKat ROMs).
Omni, CyanFox, SlimKat, or CM11?
Also, do any of the above feature Screen Recording thanks to KitKat's ability to do so, without needing ADB?
Vote in the poll on what you like as well, so I can get an idea even from those who don't want to reply.
EDIT: Meant to post in the General Section; can a mod please move this thread?

I looked at AvatarROM a while ago and it seems to be targeted toward people who want to theme thier device, whereas I like the stock vanilla Android look.

I mainly want a nice amount of features.
But I'm leaning towards CM11 due to the Quick Settings camera.

SlimKat all the way!

@smit.sanghvi I know you are big fan of slim ROMs but there are plenty of ROMs there that are far better then slim ..

Omni and CM11 Best with Devil Kernal..:good:

I think you should prefer Omni because it has higher feature than CM11..

No, omni will possibly be official in future. They already merged needed patches for our device and i9082. But the frameworks patch can't be included in their sources, so I need a native vibration fix first

Had to press thanks
But i would really appreciate some more features... How about a poll for features?
Though i would like halo but know its a pain to implement.
How about multitasking preview from slim? And many more if i can think off. Grear job man... (Especially coming from xt1033 user who is a bit sad due to lack of support from other roms)

Hey about to try this. Might take forever to download on 3G though. Haha. Don't have wifi at home yet. RIP data limit. (though to be honest Boost Mobiles 3G is almost as slow as 2G...)
Just a question, if not already added could you add Nav Bar custom actions such as long pressing home for a Screenshot?

I have successfully cherry-picked multi window plus omniroms app cicrle sidebar, I will compile it when I am at home. The idea is to make a separate build with multi window, because I think our screen is way to small for multi window.

sorry if i misunderstood this rom...
does that mean this is CM11 based on M6 build rom with EXTRA setting...
and that doesnt impact performance/battery?
if im correct, and now im using official M6 build,i can just flash over it and install gapps>kernel...?

OP updated with multi window build. You can launch apps from the implanted App circle sidebar or from the recents panel.
I will always make a build without because I think it is useless on a phone with such a tiny screen as ours.
Can anybody confirm if there are lock screen freezes with this ROM ?

[Q] Paranoid Android Heads UP notification for Cyanogenmod 11

I know, they both have heads up but PA has better designed heads up with gestures like swipe up to remove it but keep it in status bar. I also like that its sticked up to status bar unlike on cyanogenmod where its almost on center of the screen. My question now is, is it possible to get heads up notifications like in PA on CM 11?
In PA it's called hover.
Why not just run PA?

I'm not really here to debate, I'm just asking is it possible to get hover feature on cm 11?
And it really annoyed me on PA that it takes 3 seconds to open recent tabs menu on franco kernel and stock pa kernel, idk why. It's slow
Plus I was active PA user, but when they removed HALO it made me switch to CM

Yes it is. Set up a build environment (Linux Ubuntu or Mint), sync the CM11 sources locally, identify the Hover commits from the PA github repository, cherry-pick them, resolve any conflicts and build.

You don't need to "program". You need to know how to sync repo's, use github and build. Since this is a develoeprs forum, you're in the best place to learn.
If you're not wanting to learn, the quick answer to your original question is "no".

No idea. Have a read / ask in their thread. What are these "CM Features" that are so special?
Is it the ability to take the work of other developers and turn it into financial reward?

I'm used to some of their features which I got used to and I can't use my phone without them anymore. And CM is rom in which is invested over millions and millions of dollars. They are continuously trying to improve it.

Most features of CM are available in other ROMs. And half of CM's features are taken from other ROMs, or is their own implementation/variation of the feature from another ROM.

Can anyone suggest a really cool 5.1.1 Rom for me, currently I a on slimlp and bored with it,I have seen that many other Roms like recursion remix, bliss pop, SOKP are available for this device but I am confused which one to choose, the only thing I do on my device is to check out news and forums and posts on Google plus so the only thing I want to stay with is battery and customization

You need good rom to check out news and forums and posts on Google plus, so this is good choice.

aosp vs los

What is the main difference between Lineage OS based roms vs AOSP based roms. Which one is better? Technically aosp based roms should not come with alot of features but actually roms like Nitrogen OS, AOSP extended, Hyperunicorns, cosmic comes with alot of features. If i want a fluid smooth experience should i use aosp based rom or los based rom

There is no difference between LOS and AOSP , los is just a modded version of AOSP adding more features to your phone than standalone vanilla aosp would....... u want best of both worlds use LOS or MOKEE with custom kernel like boeffla ....... can tweak how u want it to be battery friendly or power .........

HI ,
what i mean in pure AOSP is a rom like what you would get on google phone ......all these so called AOSP roms almost 95% of them are based on LOS ( forked aosp ) with a little tweak here n there ..........closest AOSP rom non based LOS rom would be OMNIROM..........Now your question what was the prime difference between AOSP and LOS ........LOS has more built in security and is more customizable........if u download a pure AOSP rom you would actually see how bare bones those roms are.........hardly any features and settings .........
