Hi, can anyone recommend me some roms which are very responsive and have good UI.
I've tried a few randomly but I can't get any good ones. None are responsive enough. such as TAELs

ROMS are so easy to flash why not try a few and find out.
Trying one of the Energy Roms right now. It's pretty good.

tael's rom is fast, that is if you change the pagepool to 24. read his last few pages.
Maybe you should try one of the stock like roms those are clean and fast but no sense or whatsoever
Yeah the stock, clean and light ROMS are always very responsive! But if you are also looking for a good UI I would definitely go with the Energy ROMS, the 21905 builds are the most responsive.
I'm really liking this energy rom right now
Shame video calling doesn't work, other than that Energy ROMs are awesome
try this...best ROM for me so far >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528217
Hi all
I have a galaxy Tab and Nexus S ..when Nexus S is faster the bowser isnt impressive on both devices..
I yesterdfay installed OVERCOME rom on my Galaxy Tab and..browser is even smoother than IPAD..i mean really really buttery smooth i will try to upload a video..Can any one using Overcome rom confirm me the changes made so that we can have same quality of browser on Nexus S because GOOGLE so far is behaving like a **** to us..
Its a reall wonderful i checked now on galaxy Tab.Specs are same for Nexus S.Please i need positive replies..currently there is no rom which makes browser buttery smooth...Let me tell you Opera is very smooth but in case of OVERCOME rom now stock browser is matchless fastest and smoothest browser i have seen in life...much smooth what apple can offer thats a fact even with FLASh on
Opera is smooth but the interface is not user friendly. It would be great if xda developers can mod nexus s browser
Sent from my NOOB Nexus S with the poor english by using XDA Premium App
opera is s smooth bro but The browser mod i talked about is much buttery than opera...is their anyone from Google team on this thread...such a expensive phone with a pathetic browser...
Can anyone confirm a ROM which includes galaxy S JPu browser...It was a great browser
Let me verify that FLASH is not responsible for LAG...i confirmed this s from my experience of android phones till date.
This is not connected with Flash performance. Problem occurs on many browsers not only stock browser. Only ones that work fine is Opera or firefox (but slower).
O think this is a driver problem - same lag exists in Waze app (free gps application) while not occuring on for example DHD.
cant they make drivers for their flagship device..thats certainly unbelivable

Yeah, the situation is extremely frustrating. I probably would return my Nexus if it was possible at this point. The browser issue can be fixed by using opera (which is everything except perfect), but there are a lot of other ui elements that suffer from this too.
Can't believe nexus has had this good reviews as it has. Also, I can't believe Google's attitude towards this problem, perhaps they can fix it with ice-cream sandwich, but that ain't coming until Q4, a year after the phone's launch.
I find it quite interesting that other android phones, phones with skins, don't suffer the lag issue - or nearly to the extent the nexus suffers. God, it simply isn't acceptable to wait until November-September time frame... iPhone may be limited to the extreme, but at least it works. I loved my Desire from the beginning, should have not sold it.
Please, star the bug report from the link.

There is yet another bug report for the whole UI.

And also a bug report concerning hw-acceleration, marked as solved, but it still has a lot of new reports.

I, personally, and probably many others, would appreciate if users that experience (all?) there problems would star these as issues, or at least the first one.
gee i thought i was the only one who noticed this lag
i come from an iphone, so i know what "buttery smooth" means... the nexus s is NOT "buttery smooth"
the stock browser SUCKS.. can't handle images very well (try scrolling up and down http://www.anandtech.com/ you'll see what i mean)
i use opera because it's the smoothest browser out there... i've tried firefox and stock browser wrappers like dolphin, miren, etc but they all lag in comparison... i use opera with the stock browser's user agent because web developers don't care about opera (browse the internet with stock opera settings and u'll see what i mean)
btw, do you think this will work? [MOD][JVQ] NEW LAGFREE BROWSER for DEODEXED JVQ-ROMS

What I think is interesting is how many people on the forums who say they love this phone because it is "PURE GOOGLE!" as if they did not realize that the issues are not getting fixed in a timely manner. (radio issues, battery issues, browser lag, etc.)
I'm using opera as well. The stock browser is a pile of garbage when there's more than a few images. It's pretty sad.

try browsing websites with multiple images (www.anandtech.com www.futureshop.ca etc...)
if it doesn't lag at all for you (iphone smooth) then i might have to give CM7 nightly and trinity kernel a try too

here you go, i went to both sites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKLTpgYXae0
wow that's impressive! what's your secret?
i can't stand the stock browser lag... and i can't stand the non-webkit opera... i want the best of both worlds (smooth and well supported, respectively)
here's a video i just made:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpuaNanxdEE
this test is repeatable with stock rom, previous netarchy kernels, trinity uv11 kernel... haven't tried cm7 though
now i just might have to cm7 nightly and/or trinity kernel... i have a feeling it has something to do with cm7 nightly

The browser is usually pretty fast after a fresh reboot. Give it a couple of days without a reboot and the browser slows down quite a bit even with cm 7.1 nightly and trinity kernel.
That being said, cm 7.1 does have some performance mods that make it faster than stock.
So is the browser laggy or websites not configured right for mobile view
Happens on my tablet some sites are great and some not so good

Its the browser... opera can handle these websites no problem... so can my iPhone 3gs
I will try cm7 nightly

eww.. i see what youre talking about. im glad that i dont get that! what kind of data speeds do you see, because that will affect it too.
Hey guys im coming from the htc evo 4g. I just got the nexus rooted. What is the best rom or most popular rom in here?
Miui and cm7. I think are the most popular
Sent from my MIUI powered Nexus S 4g using XDA Premium App
AFAIK there are no best rom, only most suitable to one needs. Having said that, Cyanogen, GPA17 and some other are quite popular...you have to try it to find one that suit your needs.
I did try several of them and ended up at stock rooted rom as I need a reliable handset for my day to day usage (phone, message, email, browsing, no games, hardly music or video)...battery is not a problem for me as I always have a second backup ever since I went to Android route.
stock rooted here. Found it to just be the most reliable and best battery. Plus once rooted there are tons of apps that can emulate the tweaks you get with roms. Love ZeamLauncher.
Hm I found stock rooted to be horrible on battery life. ATM I'm on MIUI 1.8.26 and TEUV88 rammstein kernel. Provides me with stability, better battery life, same performance, more customizability, and more functionality built in.
But it's all preference really. I suggest you try out a couple and figure out which you like most.
For fast,responsive, and good battery life, you might want to look into Oxygen 2.2.2. This is what I use and I can confirm that everything needed for a daily phone WORKS.
miui. personal favorite
My personal favorites are MIUI and Oxygen
You can download latest MIUI at www.miui.us and latest Oxygen at http://forum.oxygen.im/viewforum.php?id=7
I've had great experiences with both. Also, the latest Matr1x kernel has been working great on both. Oxygen has been very very stable for me
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Kool man ill give oxygen a try thanks for the info
Hey, I would like to give you my personal experience.
Ive used oxygen, and it really is a beast when it comes to speed and battery.
However, I would recommend brainmasters MIUI. It looks awesome, the speed is awesome and battery usage is ok, not the best out there but ok.
If you want your phone to look very slick and sexy, go for MIUI
MIUI
Never was a fan prior though, was always avid cm7 user and other standard android base ROMS mostly CM7
Gave the new MIUI another chance and never looked back.
I was presently pleased, not only doesn't it look better its more stable and battery performance is allot better than CM7. It also adds allot of features and functionality that other standard aosp NS ROMS don't offer such as better camera, music, faster/smoother browser ...ect
Been using miui for a couple months now and couldn't be more happy don't see myself switching back anytime soon.... probably when icecream is released though

time to update your signature?
I prefer the stock Android Roms. I figure that Google has put a lot of painstaking care into getting the Linux kernel built just right. I tried CyanogenMod, but it seemed to be awfully unstable.
favorite, miui .. very nice and fast ..and highly customizable
SuperOSR - darn fast rom
brainmaster's miui or oxygen 2.2.2
I used zulugen and BM's MIUI.
MIUI is a complete New experience , it has loads of themes and lockscreens etc.
but i dont like the iphone style , so using ADW launcher on it.
I liked MIUI but Netflix video was stutter city, even on Wifi. Switched back to stock and it plays smoothly. Also works fine on Oxygen.
So I wanted to like MIUI (latest version) but there seems to be something going on with a background process that's choking video and causing it not to be smooth...

This. It's a Nexus, enjoy the stocky goodness of it. Otherwise why bother with a Nexus?
Stock Nexus > Custom ROMs > Manufacturer crippled and bloated ROMs
I have tried several roms and have a few that I like. My wife can not find a rom that has a good camera with cool features, fast and good on battery life.
The roms that I have tried
Android_Revolution_HD-4G_5.2.1
CoreDroid_Desire_HD_GB_2.3.3_V7.0_RV
gingerbeast2.1.2
Honeysense HD 6.2
LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.1_GB
Synergy-Ace-RC2
ud-cm7-PNK-Killer.Llama.v2_INSPIRE4G
Any help would be appreciated.
Absolution 3.7 very solid very awesome, but is is not a sense rom. Also Redemption 4.0 but its an alpha version so it may have small issues but so far its been solid for me.

I'll start by only your wife is going to know what she wants so she'll need to continue to test and try ROMs until she finds it. Additionally, Camera apps are available on the market. Many of them have different features and all that jazz. Again, this is something she'll need to try out for herself since only she knows what she wants. Give a search and you'll find some threads about what camera apps people are using.
As for battery life, try using different kernels or radios. Alternatively try using some UV (Killersloth has the best UV scripts in the dev sections) and possibly setting the CPU speed down a touch if its OC'ed.
I'm currently using Absolution 3.7 (final ROM and to be honest there isn't much the Collective can do to make it better). I also use Redemption when I need my ICS fix, its in the Beta phase but minus the already known bugs with ICS its very stable IMHO.
I'm using bindroid 2.5 it has great features and good battery life I've used basically all the roms you have and this Rom is by far my favorite

I am agreed with Bacon....your wife is the one that has to choose. Anyway, I see that you have all versions out of date of the roms. CoreDroid is now V9.4 and things have improved a lot....also ARHD is V7.0.3 and LeeDroid is V5.1.1....
You should try some of them again or all of them. To me CoreDroid is amazing and works beutifully...but nobody will know better that you what is best for you.
Check out my sig for performance and stability.

Have her try IceColdSandwich 6.2. I have been running it for a few days now and battery life seems to do rather well.
Haven't played with all the settings yet but it seems pretty snappy.
Just my thought. Whatever you choose good luck.
This is a matter of she will have to try them and make up her own mind. You will get a different answer every time. Example. I could tell you to use a Sense rom and to stay as far away from MIUI as you can, but then another will say MIUI is cool. See what i mean.
Also please bear in mind this is a Development site, not a Rom site. All the roms here are Betas and will always be betas as they are always a work in progress. Most people don have the time to invest in rooting out the bugs that come with running a custom rom.

My friend wanted me to help him flash a custom rom on his phone. It is currently running stock Touchwiz and is extremely slow.
I don't really have time to test all the different roms on the Android Development board, because I need to give him his phone back in a few days, so I would like to ask which Rom is the fastest yet most stable.

There are many great ROMs which are both fast and stable. What version OS are you wanting, and can your friend live without the use of GPS? Aries Kernel based ROMs are the quickest, however, the SGS4G has an issue with GPS at the moment, which folks are working on. Personally, for fast, solid, and sufficient battery life, I like AOKP 4.0.2 ICS, however, it all depends on how the phone is used. The Devs here have built up to and including 4.3, but pretty sure most if not all over 4.0.2 are Aries based, so they have the GPS issue.
I'm on multilang slim ICS. Stable, light, fast with GPS working.
Try it. See my signature.
