I own an epic 4g and I know Modding it is somewhat similar. Gonna install a custom rom and I was wondering what you nexus s 4g owners recommend flashing. Cheers!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Personal opinion so far, having had the NS4G about 24 hours now (coming from an Epic)...
Stick with the stock ROM, just gain root and use the deodexed version if you need to. Use a custom kernel (I'm using Netarchy) with backlight notification support and voodoo. I've heard good things about Matrix, but it caused some issues for me personally.
I figured doing something of the sort would be cool. But there's something wrong with his nexus. My epic outperforms the nexus. Benchmark scores are lower and perform worse. How can this be? Does the nexus s run ext4 stock?

Strange... I don't do benchmarks because they're all bogus, but from a use-perspective my NS4G (not overclocked) performs about the same or perhaps slightly better than my Epic 4G (overclocked to 1.2).
My partitions are EXT4 so it looks like it is by default unless the deodexed stock ROM I am using was just setup that way.

Yes it runs ext4 benchmarks mean nothing. I suggest cm7 or oxygen with netarchys kernel.

Well as far as the benches go I was referring specifically to the gpu tests. My epic runs the corridor bench at 40+. The nexus barely hits 30.

You really have to stay on top of both forums... A lot of stuff in the "Nexus S" dev forum that isn't in the "Nexus S 4G" dev forum says it is for both.

I've just recently noticed this. But benchmarks yield crappier gpu results in the nexus s than the epic. For example the corridor test on my epic oc'd to 1.3ghz rubs at 40+ fps. The lowest its dropped is 35 fps and the highest was 50fps. Meanwhile the nexus s is running 10-15 fps slower. I thought this was just some issue with my buds nexus s but I just youtubed some benches and found the same results. Anyone else notice this? Why? Same hardware and I expected the nexus s to actually do better since its got official gb and the epic doesn't. I'm kind of baffled here.
sent from the Galaxy S Pro
Well I just ran smartbench side by side to the ns4g. Much better result there. I guess the ns4gs gpu drivers are much different somewhere down the road. The "planet" test on quadrant ran at a horrid 11fps while it stays at a constant 56fps on the epic.
sent from the Galaxy S Pro
I've had the same results while comparing benches on my Epic and my Nexus S, but it's only Quadrant. Real world graphics performance is just as good if not better than the Epic's. Other benchmarkkng programs don't seem to have the same discrepancies.

Ok so I've been trolling the fourums here since I had my captivate.. was running cm7 on that and loved it... I passed that phone to my wife n opted for a ns4g. So far love it.... I liked the aosp ics but have now settled back with cm7 and feel stuck in the past... my question is does anyone know if they are working on a ns4g cm9... if so anyone know its current status... I really likes the aosp ics except very buggy... if I missed a thread on this sorry I could not find one...

aosp's ICS is the best of the bunch in my opinion. I've been running it for the past week, without any issues. Perhaps you should try it again with a full wipe (system, boot, etc).
The fact that I've stuck with this for an entire week says something. I usually switch roms every couple of days!

Not entirely true lol.
I tried last month, in theory yes, some changes would ideally be needed as AOKP looks for some different things when building.
And AOKP is only aesthetically further along, they've more random options included, which I suppose is interesting.
This time around CM didn't want to flood the settings with a ton of things people don't use or readily understand.

Stability? This way they have more time to check out and test changes. We don't have to flash on a daily basis, we probably won't have to worry about things suddenly being broken, and can probably more so just look forward to fixes and enhancements that have been tested.
