Stability and performance - JellyBelly, about battery, I can't say, and if my phone can survive from morning til night, it's good enough for me....

if u looking for something really stable, fast and smooth, try Jelly Belly 1.5.1
been running it sine release and never had an issue with it, plus u will get toggles, hold back to kill, volume rocker....
fully charge battery is giving me around 4hrs of screen on with constant use of 3g.
rom has no support any more.

SlimBean
Dude... I cant believe I actually need to say this... but apparently I do.
THE best rom out there is: SlimBean.
Krarvind is simplyl a genius. He stripped everything out, all the bloated crap, and left a really good rom.
Battery life is insane. I leave my wifi, 3g, blue tooth, everything I can open and chowing battery, and I only need to charge my phone 2-3 times a week.
I have been using slim roms since my college at work told me about it when ics came out, and as my friend Ori, likes to put it, its pure awesome sauce.
And now with the jb update, it really is as smooth as butter and runs incredibly.
I was considering getting an upgrade on my phone to the galaxy nexus, but with slim rom it would simply be pointless.
I would deff say my phones overall speed has increased x2 with SlimBean.
Its still in early stages granted, he just released it last week I think, so he doesnt have all the normal features, but it will come.
Seriously, if you are looking for the best rom for nexus s, look no further:

I second that, with latest thalamus kernel it's perfect for me

Maybe a bit off topic here but if you are gaming a lot, stay away from any JB rom atm.

I got to say, have a go with CM10 Euroskank, sorry I am new here so can't post links but it's in Dev section.
The OP said he doesn't need many features, so in general I agree with Slim Bean BUT .... the ROM I mentioned is so smooth and is continually updated as CM10 evolves. Plus I reckon the features will prove to be handy. Who doesn't like to customise their device eh?

[Q] franco kernel, matrix kernel, ???????

Hi to you all,
Have you done any benchmark quadrant type with modified kernel?
For my part in stock kernel I was running about 5050, which is very promising when the capabilities of the beast!
I look forward to the first kernel in flashable zip Franco associable with a rom type aokp
This association did wonders on my old galaxy nexus!
sorry for my broken english, I'm french

you can flash Franco Kernel via Bootloader mode. works amazing so far

Not massive on bechmarks and a big fan of Franco.
I cant tell any day to day difference in the performance between any of the kernels currently out however Matrix is giving me more batter life, (more screen on time) than the others.

ok, i wait and see when franco kernel will done !!!

I just flashed franco kernel myself with paranoid android. Going to see how it runs for a few days.
For those who have used matrix and franco extensively care to share your thoughts, pros/cons for each?

However, if you put any trust in Quadrant scores you could use them to prove that dancing naked for 5 minutes in your garden affects device performance

I am using Trinity. Love it so far.
Tried faux123, found it undesirable with current my settings.
Didn't want to commit to non-stock ROM for franco. Would love to try it though.

I'm on xylon ROM and matrix 3.0 kernel
My n4 battery life last so long that even my wife asked me to root her phone and make it last all day like mine....

Yes sir, franco also uses stock rom.

I have gotten the best battery from matr1x compared to Franco. I got 2 1/2 hr on stock, 3 hr 40 min on Franco and 4hr 40 min on Matr1x I'm still running stock otherwise but I think I'm gonna try experimenting with Roms tonight. Any suggestions I want to stay as close to a stock look as possible but I'm willing to bend for battery.

I'm craving better battery life. Help!

Currently on stock ROM running the matrix kernel. I can't get more than 2.5hrs of screen on time which I think is pathetic. With my galaxy note 2 I can get 5-6hrs screen on time with same usage.
Any other kernel I should try to improve battery life? I see some people here getting over 4hrs screen on time and I don't see how it's possible on this phone.

Pretty good battery life with Franco kernel. What's your screen brightness and mind if you post a screenshot of your Battery in Settings?

Switch to the CM 10.1 nighties. Getting double what I did on stock, no joke.
Some of my recent battery stats can be found here.

Here are my fine tuned settings, been working on these for a while to get this thing to last haha. BTW: buy Faux123 prj app, its fantastic. Well here goes 486/1.13 on intellidemand, snake charmer on, mpdecision off, -100mv universal UV, CPU eco mode on, GPU at 400 on demand, io at fiops 2048.

Hmmm that's weird. Isn't it a pure stock ROM just like stock? Wonder why it's so much better.
Any issues with this ROM? What kernel are you using?

Yep CM10 nightly is where its at. Running faux kernel. Check this out. This is with very heavy CPU usage as well.

Stock everything as far as CM goes. Location services running. No stability or other issues experienced yet, just a slew of other features I don't know how I went without.

Is it as fast as stock? I love how fast the phone is stock and wouldn't want to change that.

You should look at Franco kernel thread... 5-6 hours are no problem .
I use 100% brightness and have now 2h screen on time and 44% battery left.

Kernel glitches

Which kernels besides stock and semaphore don't have the glitch were from time to time the notification bar drops down as soon as you wake up the phone? I want to something new but I know franco and matrix kernel had that problem in the past.

I had no idea this even happens, I'm currently on Franco's M2, but have used lots of versions of Trinity, and have used Matrix once... never had this happen. Are you sure it's not a rom glitch?

You won't be able to run Antutu with my settings. It heats up too fast. In my opinion Antutu sucks. It really does. I can get 14690 in quadrant with my settings. What good is it to have a benchmarking program if you have to underclock to run it? Pfft I'll pass on Antutu...annnnd...you're welcome lol!

What rom are you running?
Some of the developers include tweaks in their roms that clash with the kernel cause benchmarks to blow, but it doesn't affect if not actually improve real world performance.
For example, unknownforce had included some tweaks in ForceRom but once he removed them people's benchmarks back to normal. It's not the kernel, running Ktoonez's on my own modded stock gets me 14500 quadrants and 25k+ antutu.
Same goes for all the Blue Kuban users, Ruje included some tweaks implemented into his rom and those interfere with how the kernel runs the benchmarks - this "interference" isn't bad, it's just messes up the way the benchmarks run.
Plus - Antutu itself is very stressful on the CPU shooting up the temp to 70 degrees in about five seconds, so that can also be an issue.
