I have a crespo nexus s with stock jb 4.1.1 and I find its performance a bit laggy in some occasions, so I decided to try some custom ROM and I would like some help.
What I want
First of all it has to be as stable as possible because this is my daily driver.
I also want it to be as lightweight and fast as possible. Ram usage has to be minimal and I want it to be responsive enough so that I don't have to wait for the dialer to start every single time I want to make a call. I don't care about benchmark performance, just snappy navigation and performance in common tasks and web browsing.
Battery life should be at least on par with the stock ROM.
I want the features of the stock ROM in terms of apps.
I don't care about customization or extra features.
I want it to be jb based, or at least ICS.
What ROM do you think would suit me? I checked out cm, codename and slimbean. How do they compare?

I think if you want nearly stock, out of the three you looked at, slimbean is for you. Cna and cm are indeed awesome, but are packed with extras.

Rasbean, or stock with Marmite Kernel and Brainmasters tweaks!

I'd have to say first pick for you would be RasBean, secondly SlimRom and if you want another option and like dark colors then I would say BlackBean. Depending how much kernel control I would say Marmite or Matrix.
Personally I keep falling back on BlackBean and Marmite.
Hope this helps!
Flashed Rasbean with trinity kernel @ 1.44Ghz. It's like having a new phone. Thanks!

Good choice!
Ok I know it's about preference but I am looking for the fastest JB rom, that will still save the battery. The reason I am asking this because it would be a lot easier for me to ask then to try out ever single rom.
So what is your guy's opinion?

Everyone's phone is different and has different conditions like signal and how much you use it/what you use it for. I personally like AOKP since I'm an AOKP dev but the battery life for me isn't the best so far so I'm running Liquid Smooth.
There are 12 or 13 different JB roms out there and you will likely get 12-13 different answers to this question.
Paranoid Android is my current JB rom and the speed and battery are fantastic.
I understand guys. I have had paranoid android but I wasn't able to the feel the fast on the rom. Any others known to be good?

I'm on paranoid n it feels pretty damn fast to me. I'm thinking of trying other JB ROMs out

The answer is in your post its all about preference so make a backup and flash away.

Lmao, I'm gonna try that. My girl would love that ****. Btw TC, between the CM Nightlies, CM10 M2, and LiquidSmooth, I'm gonna have to give the edge to LiquidSmooth. That rom flies!

I second your thoughts
Liquidsmooth. Amazingly fast and the battery life on this baby is really good for me. Have had no problems whatsoever with it. ParanoidAndroid is pretty fast for me as well.
Lol thanks for the input. Liquid smooth it is.

I'm running AOKP right now and love it. I tried Paranoid Android and CleanRom, but AOKP has been the best for me in terms of battery life and performance.

'Fastest' is all about perception. If 2 roms share the same base (AOSP or TW), kernel and build.prop / init.d, theoretically they should be the same speed.
Personally all these are plenty fast enough, the difference is in stability and what doesn't work.
Paranoid is unique since you can customize your phone to be in tablet mode. For me, the choice is no longer whats fastest or best battery life because each one is almost the same.

there no sd card swap mod for aosp yet is there? thats what im waiting for.
I know its standard to protocol to answer these type of questions with read and flash em and decide which is best. Problem is that its not for me, its for my girlfriend who is not very tech savey to say the least. She is complaining of battery life so I was wondering if there was a rom that was/is perfectly stable with good battery life. Performance isn't an issue as neither is eye candy or tweaks. She is pretty much out of the box type of person. She left ios because of the bigger screen and other functions ios doesnt have, but for the most part she is typical iphone user. I just want her to get better battery life.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated
Try paranoid android 2.54 with stock kernel, gives me the most battery on screen usage with 4-5 hours and 14 hours standby.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.
I have tried most ROMs including cm10, kingkang ROM, etc

Would you say aosp Roms are more battery. Efficient than sense?
Also for each Rom do we have to also flash the kernal seperately using the all in one tool kit by hasoon?
CleanROM has the best battery life for me. It's also extremely stable.

You need a rooted sense ROM. Debloated. Root it so you can flash a kernel that has some has undervolt applied like elemental 2.0.

Yeah sense ROMs for me were okay for battery but the PA 2.54 has actually proven to be better for me at least. Try them all and see what works best for reliability and such, I spent 3-4 weeks discovering what I liked most

Cleanrom with 2.40 or 2.41 radio/ril and beastmode kernel.
CM, AOSP, and other non sense roms seem to be having battery issues. Random steep drops in battery level.

I think the kernel is what allows the better battery life, not too sure though.

From what I've seen on the dev forums, it seems like the majority of people have not had a lot of luck with battery life while using CM10 (just my perception, though. I'm on CleanRom). I definitely think a good kernel will go a long way (especially if you underclock things), but the ROM will play a part if a lot of software has to be running all the time to support ROM features.
Kernal has more to do with battery life hence the reason people are not getting amazing battery life on aosp roms for our phone right now. Kernal is still a WIP. I am hoping we see jelly bean sense roms soon, might give the best of both worlds.

Hey guys, I've recently bought a AT&T HTC One X. This is my first smartphone, and it is fully stocked, locked bootloader and no root, android 4.0.4 and software version 2.20.502.7, really like the phone. However, I am not really impressed with the battery life. I would usually charge it over night for around 8 hours, take it off in the morning at around 08:00, take it to school, casually check facebook/gmail, maybe watch one or two videos and by the time I get home at around 15:30, the battery would be at around 15%. I was wondering whether this is normal and if there is any point of my rooting the device and flashing any custom roms?
I have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, decreased my screen brightness to around 25%, no live wallpapers, disabled auto syncing, wifi and mobile data mobile switched on only when I use it, only have a weather/clock widget and a couple of games. So I have been researching about rooting and customer roms for about a month now, and found out that some members have amazing battery life times with Cleanroms and custom kernels, so I was wondering whether the latest 5.1 Cleanrom with a Beastmode kernel 4.4 would cause any damage to my phone and whether any of you guys are using it?
Thanks for your time!

It isn't necessary to spam all the battery threads with the same question. One thread is enough.

Spam? I am new to this which means I don't necessary know how the whole system works, therefore I am trying to find the best answer I can. Sorry to see that's bothering some people.
Irritate the ones that have to go through these threads an your Chances diminish greatly.
Tis a sad day when being new allows for this spamming in ones mind.

I use viper and it is giving me a good battery life. I don't know about aokp/cm. I think you should try everything and then you will chose whatever is good for your needs.

cm10 has nice battery life ..m using dark jelly S v20 the battery is really good works almost a day for me with me almost connected for 14-16hrs of wifi connectivity and listening music and of course auto sync always on ! u should try all once before proceeding further
Energy ROM and of course.. other stock based ROMs have the best power management available, you know, engineered by HTC

For me, cm10 gives better battery life than stock Sense. I think it depends on how you use your phone.
I'm using Baked too, but for me battery life is just great! Actually on 57% with 8h 27m and almost 1.5h screen...

Of course rooting for battery is a good idea. Undervolted & underclocked kernels, delete bloatware that's constantly running, etc. And as far as best battery life, baked has been very kind to my phone.
A typical day for me (7am on phone for 2-3 hours reading the news before work, music to/from work, light usage on breaks, then hotspot at home for internet, and all the calls/texts in between and countless downloads) will leave me with 20-30% battery when I go to bed around midnight

Hello all, I am wanting to get a good battery life on my mobile. So if I use a marmite kernel with stock jb will I get a better battery life or marmite kernel with rasbeanjelly will give better battery life.
What combo among the two I mentioned you all suggest for good battery life.
Thank you for reading.

I think that kernels have very little impact on power consumption (except if they running undervolted, downclocked or are broken in some way). More important thing is the ROM and apps that you use on daily base.
Best battery consuming ROM from my exp is CM10 stable with stock kernel, but maybe with 15-20 mins of screen time more than stock at most. Best tip for conserving power on NS and JB is to switch off 3G, Google Now and Location service when you don't need it.

Thanks for replying. But isn't people facing issues with cm10?

Perhaps with 10.1, but 10 stable, or the latest 20122012 nightly was pretty stable. I had one issue only with it - auto brightness was somewhat jerky... That's only battery wise.
Fastest ROM for me is MDO by knzo, RasbeanJelly mod which I am using right now. 3 and a half hours of screen time is same as 3 hours and 15 minutes. Either way I need to charge it at the end of the day.
