Recommended rom for a friend.

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!

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.

Is Oxygen available for the CDMA? I have looked around the 4G forum but haven't seen it.

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 wish i knew this before. i only use 4g dev forum roms.

CM9 is not supported, so... no miui either?

I'm guessing that since the CM team has dropped support for us that Miui would also have dropped it for us since miui is using the base of CM?
Or is Miui still going to support us?

Maybe yes maybe not. Lets see who out 1st. CM ICS or MIUI ICS.

Its 100% going to be cm.
Miui has always from past used their base to start off with. I'll be surprised if miui is first though. I really would like a stable version of ics on this phone. It can handle it for sure, I tried the latest ics Rom we have
Sent from my T959 using xda premium

I don't think MIUI is using CM as a base. AOSP built by them.
Anyways Atinm said that they'll see if they'll drop the Vibrant its not official yet.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Then you should get ready to be suprised..

I can't say anything for something thats not released yet, but the miui we have now is using a base of cm.
How do I know? The exact same problems that cm7 faced during the beginning the same miui did and the further cm7 got the same happened to miui.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

cm9 is not currently supported and may never officially be, but i feel very confident it will get ported to the vibrant. i imagine it will follow similarly to cm7 on the vibrant. while atinm said he's sick of the vibrant he did mention the possibility of a port.

What you seem to be missing here...is the big picture.....its the vibrant that is dying.

AOKP Rom for the Epic? YES! [AOKP-MS4-CM9-Beta0]

Was wondering if we could get this rom on our epics? Nexus and Galaxy Nexus users claim it is the best rom.

It should be AOKP, not AKOP ... referring to the title. And didn't you post this before ?

Ohhhh' my mistake. Someone posted a thread about getting AOKP to the Epic, only a maintainer was needed. But nobody cared for whatever reason of their own.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Before earthbound left he mentioned he was working on a new ROM for the Epic. Maybe its this.

I'd love to see what this might open up for us. I've heard it's right on par with cm, but a lot farther along already than cm9 in it's current state.

Diversity doesn't hurt...and maybe cm guys would be able to take ideas from them and actually squash some of those annoying ass bugs. And if they can't...well we'd have something to hold us down until they do

Don't worry you'll get cm9 nightlies soon and problems will get fixed

Theoretically, you should be able to throw in the epic cm9 device tree and it should work.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I'd love to see a couple more options to run various versions of ICS on our phones.. AOKP is supposed to be a great rom, so this would be my first choice in addition to the CM9 we have.

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.

:\ i understand

Why would you? This is pretty rock solid now, but if I was the one having to compile and release I think I could come up with some reasons.

[Q] Want to downgrade to 4.1?

Currently running 4.2.1 and very pleased with it. But occasionally need to run an app. that no longer works on 4.2. But it does work on 4.1.
Was thinking I'd like to be able to flash a 4.1 ROM when I want. Is that possible; if so which ROM please, a CM ROM would be great?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Can't, 4.1 was never released on the nexus4.

You're better off contacting that developer and time to upgrade

There will never be a downgrade to a firmware that was never on the device in the first place. The N4 was released with 4.2, and no developer will create a 4.1 ROM for it

Shame, but I had expected that would be the answer
It's the MM Tracker application that is stuck only working on 4.1. Sadly the developer has had some hassle and isn't permitted to update anymore. Something in 4.2 broke it.
Wishing I'd kept my Galaxy Nexus as a backup phone now!
