[Q] What ROM should I choose?

Hi, I know there's no such thing as the "best" ROM, it depends entirely on taste and on what you're expecting. So, I'm searching for a 2.3.4, stable, as fast as possible ROM with no particular tweaks if not for increasing speed and memory...should I simply go with a deodexed stock or is there something better speedwise? Thank you in advance!

I would also like to get this tip...Speed increase and more available memory, maybe some tweaks in the notification bar, but besides that I would like to keep my phone pretty much in stock form.

If speed tweaks are all you want with very high stability, check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065392
His ROM (When he reposts it) is very stable and very fast.
Install that with James Bond or Netarchy kernel and you'll have a very fast/stable setup.

Ok, great, thanks!

Thanks for the tip! That ROM seems to be exactly what I want.
Can I add shortcuts or power controls to the pull down notification bar with a separate app, or should they be cooked to the ROM? If I can could somebody point me to the right directionwhere I could find this kind of separate app? Thanks!

If you want something a little more customized, but still pretty stock, you could try the infin1ty ROM. I've been using it for a while now, it is very quick and very stable. The dev is also very involved and posts regular updates about new features and bug reports.

I would suggest you to use SupeASOP v8.0.
I find that rom is the best after i tried different roms.
Cm7 is good but not to my expectation.
I would recommend you to try SupeASOP v8.0 with kernel of Netarchy Nexus - 1.3.0.12-cfs-2.3.4-universal (Universal for non-stock 2.3.4 roms).

Ok, this rom is working great, but I get a force close when I try to make a video chat on talk...audio chat is fine...I saw many users had this problem on nexus s but I haven't understood if it's a rom related problem or a general problem with 2.3.4 on this phone...any suggestions?

I don't know much about your ROM, but there was/is an issue where you have to have your volume all the way down before you start a video chat on talk. Some ROMs have it fixed, some don't. Also, some ROMs have an issue where only the back camera works with video chat.
I know most devs are working on incorporating the fix for talk into their ROMs. If it is a deal breaker for you, take a look around at different ROMs, we are very fortunate to have many active and talented devs working on various ROMs.

[Q] Enable adb logcat on franco's ICS kernel?

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if this has been asked already but I couldn't find a similar thread on search.
I'm using franco's ICS kernel and the USB debugging in ON.
ADB recognize my device and I can 'Run As Android Application' but I get no Logcat at the DDMS tab.
All it shows is:
Code:
?:??: W/?(?): Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory
Kernel developer approved that logcat is disabled on his kernel and currently has no plans of changing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20005555&postcount=455
Also, enabling in insmod shows only partial logcat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/report.php?p=20037182
Anyone has a solution?
Thanks!

Updated OP with new info.

Just a question... This is hybrid ICS / GB kernel that no one will care about any day now when the OTA drops and there is a proper ICS kernel. Why is a logcat so important for this kernel? Just wondering?
Where is my G Nexus?

Can't see how the fact that this is a hybrid kernel has anything to do with my question.
Logcat isn't important for this kernel, it's important to me because i use my phone to develop apps.
I want to use an ICS ROM but most of them use franco's kernel, which has logcat disabled by default, hence this thread.

Why would you develop apps based on an ICS ROM that has at most a 2-3 week shelf life and is flawed at best. If you just must why not use another kernel?
I am just asking because as soon as the OTA drops all of these ROMs and kernels will be obsolete

I'm adding support for HC/ICS so i have to use an ICS ROM.
Regardless, using an ICS for development doesn't mean i develop only for ICS.
I couldn't find any other kernel for ICS, if you know of one, that would be excellent, no special love for franco's one (even though it's a great one).
Thanks

ICS(CM9) and CM7 experiences with froyo/ginger bread kernel

I write this new thread because that`s important new
experiences i think!!!!!!!!
I found out that now you can choose Gingerbread or Froyo Kernel
on your CM9 (versions from 4.february 2012)
I´ve installed CM7 Kang RC1 3 feb.2012 , you can find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470721

First i was on CM7(Froyo Kernel) -- Everything exept. the known issues was working....
Then i Flashed the CM9 kernel wich could be fount in the upper links
and Everythings......... works .......
For me thats new because of in my last experiences with those Roms ,
there were two Versions with different Kernel usage :
CM7/CM9 version for Defy with Froyo kernel
CM7 /CM9version for Defy/Defy+ with Gingerbread Kernel
And now one and the same CM7 can be used on both kernel
And the gingerbread telephone network bug in 2nd boot is fixed!!!!!!!!!!!
3d Gallery works in ICS!!!

@bone101 : Thanks! Exciting report!
Can you specify what hardware you have, Defy green/redlens, Defy+ ?
and also specify what SBF build you use as base before you flash ?
When you write "Froyo kernel" and "Ginger bread Kernel", do you mean: "CM7_Kernel-signed.zip" and "CM9_Kernel-signed.zip" (Fritolays http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20148046&postcount=1624 )
or do you refer to some other Kernel files ???
(I guess the 2 filenames below are the same as the ones fritolays re-packed. I'll update here when i get answer )
CM9-ICS-multiboot kernel_2.3.4.zip = the kernel from CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan.zip
CM7.1-11-kernel_2.2.2.zip = ?

I flashed CM9 over Feb 4 build, it bootloops.

ICS is working very good, but it has very little in common with CyanogenMod.
It is very AOSP-like now.
If you are okay with vanilla Android, then you can use ICS very soon (because camera will be working soon, I think).
If you are like me, and need the functions of CM that make CM so great, than ICS isn't usable at all (for now) for you.

Nope. Just not true. In CM7 everything works just fine AND the excellent configurability of a true Custom Rom is there. That is what I expect from CM.
The ICS Versions for the Defy are very good, but they lack those parts of CM that make it excellent. And that is not the Quarks' fault or Epsylon's fault, it just isn't finished yet.

Noobing.....how install jbx kernel

Hey guys although I am not new to xda developers , I have certain doubt's regarding installing jbx kernel , I read the post by d trail and its little above the levels for an amateur . so p.s. help me in giving a guidance to install the kernel. I am using pacman 4.3 in sys1 and mokee 4.4.2 on sys3, he battery drain is too much in mokee gets down by 10% every hour so I want to try the kernel for power optimization....

Ahh... installing JBX kernel, this is an awesome procedure, thanks to AROMA installer, trust me, haha
Commonly we just use BMM to install the JBX.zip like installing a ROM.zip
But there're some exceptions.. for example: we can not flash JBX on non-kexec ROMs because of ICS kernel...

i think you have already installed BMM.
then take mokee 4.4.2 for example,
1. download the latest version of dtrail's kernal, or Shurikkb's (because it is verified that his kernal have better battery life, you can find in dtrail's post)
2. flash it like a ROM, (boot to BMM recovery, switch to system3, then install package from ..., no wipe, no clean)
3. then enjoy, for details, please read in the post

Issues with JBX 3.0
Hello,
I have another question regarding JBX. I am running the latest version of Gummy (M.1-02-19-14), which comes with JBX kernel already integrated. I have read good things about the latest version of JBX (02/27/14 build) and have been trying to install it over the old kernel. The times I manage to load the rom with the new kernel, I have no signal and the phone appears to be unable to recognize my sim card. I have tried unchecking the exposed framework and 10% battery fix in the installer without avail. Any help with installing this latest version of JBX would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm relatively new here, I have many doubts about the JBX kernel. I do not understand the Aroma installer. Is there any option to dial in specific?
I have experienced some problems. Some sensors stopped working.

Which 5.1 custom ROM is best

Hi folks
I am using ressurection remix v5.4 android 5.1 based custom ROM on my N5 for a couple of days and facing some bugs which are
1. When I change app drawer animation sometimes app icons don't show on the whole page.
2. When screen rotate sometimes notification keys don't appears.
3. Facebook messenger doesn't popup. I can't use when I am using another app.
4. Most of the time when I restart the phone, 'android is optimizing the apps xx of xx' appears.
And some other bugs those I can't remember right now.
So I decided to change the ROM but confused which one to choose.
My need is a stable custom ROM with some beneficial changes and most importantly with no bugs.
I really need your help folks.
Thanks

Cataclysm rom uses stock kernel, you have to download ElemetalX separately. First flash rom and than flash kernel, but you don't have to wipe anyting before kernel flashing.

Thanx dimi3ye....last night I flashed the cm12 nightly caz I downloaded it before and installed the elementalx 2.10 stock/aosp version. Very much satisfied with the kernel as its giving me pretty good standby battery life though I m using the dt2w option and most importantly impressed with the sound gain option.
But still worried about custom ROM because cm12 launcher still has some bugs. So I need to know about cataclysm ROM what are the best picks of the ROM and the stability.

Your curent kernel will be reflashed with kernel that comes with Cataclysm... Read first page on Cataclysm tread for flashing instructions, because latest version is sometimes just update (~ 30mb), and first you have to flash major, big version (~ 550mb) before that update...

Ohhh my friend I m not offended...just chilling.....okay do I have to maintain the sequence of the updates or just have to flash the last update. And does the major file comes with gapps or I have to flash it separately??

Gapps are included in rom. Usually, just flash latest update, if something else is needed, there is a description.

One more advice, don't use twrp 2.8.6.x because it have some issues, use 2.8.5.3 instead...

2.8.5.2 is fine... stable release means that every feature works perfect, beta is also rockstable rom, but new added features might have small issues (usually everything works perfect). I always flash latest whether is stable or beta, never had issues.
