usually cm9 or cm9 kangs as my rom.
now the kernel is the tricky part. its almost always Trinity, but i can use 3 or 4(or more) different versions of trinity in a day. teuv is usually my while-im-at-work kernel, but i can be using t11, t132, or t144 at any given point in the day. sometimes all of them in a day. t144 is usually the kernel i like to use when im playing around. what i like about them is that they work as intended. they are all bare bone kernels(ics versions) therefore dont contain any mods that we've all gotten used to. but that also means that the trinity kernels dont contain any introduced bugs either(that many kernels wrestle with). i know ive not really explained anything, it is what it is

I'm using kangs8 ics with eugene kernel speedy5. my favourite combo so far!

I'm using HAKA's KANGY v8 atm, pretty nice I have to say, occasional bug whilst flashing, but probably down to TWRP than anything.
I'm normally running Eugene's speedy kernel, fast, smooth and stable, the right balance of them all. Quite like the Matr1x as well.

I'm using Peter Alfonso's ICS with his stock kernel,no problems so far,the best ics rom out there !

Peter Alfonso is the way to go! to me he had the best GB rom and his ICS nightlies are nothing short
http://download.peteralfonso.com/

I'm using the latest CM9 kang + trinity t11 and it's smooth for me.

I'm using the Virtuous Quattro ICS RC2 ROM
Advanced Info shows kernel version as:

The only issue I have come across which is quite annoying is most videos are extremely laggy- this is irritating because its how I overcome my commute to and from work. For example the opening video sequence for Asphalt 6 HD is extremely laggy but the game plays flawlessly! I have a coupe of avi files on my device as well and they have the same problem. Sound is fine...
Apart from this everything so far functions flawlessly.

I've been using KANGY8 and SPEEDY5 up to now its been the smoothest with no reboots. Rom is butter smooth and that kernal is just crazy stable and fast. Best so far and I've flashed so many rom and kernal combinations.

I'm using AOSP+ rom with Steve Garon's kernel. I actually downclocked to 800Mhz and it gives me better battery life and it is smooth enough.

AOSP+ with Speedy-5, it's awesome.

I tried the new cm9 with matrix 14.5 and it was not stable for me. Then I tried the new gummy nexus and that rebooted every time as well lol.
AKOP 19 with any kernel or cm9 rc0 with glados have been my best combos

Hi, currently my i9023 is installed with stock ICS (ROM and kernel) and frankly, I'm quite satisfied with the performance. The battery performance is, I think, comparable with that of the stock gingerbread.
But now I'm looking for custom kernel to make battery performance even better. Do you guys have any experience what is the most suitable kernel for stock ICS, especially in battery performance area? With so many options to choose for (matr1x, kangs, eugene, and the list goes on and on... ), sometimes it can get confusing ....

One problem with stock ROMs: features limited, otherwise, they are great in terms of stability.
For me, i'm balancing between codenameandroid and MIUI(miui.us versions).

Was using CNA before for 2 months, but always thought that stock is more smoother. Don't mind that much for features and got fed up with constant updating.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I used stock non rooted for some time and I liked the smoothness. The thing I missed was BLN and some other options. Also the battery life with moderate use is less good then some custom roms. Now flashing strawberry rom =)
I'm rocking CM10 w/ Marmite right now since they merged in 4.1.2 asap.. As soon as AOKP Build #5 is released I'm jumping back on the Unicorn saddle w/ Marmite though.. Love me some unicorns!

With rascarlos roms (Rascream before & Rasbean now) i always have 2 days. With very hard use...when i do corrections to my theme and flashing 10-20 times a day...have all day of battery.
On the road with my NexusS...
I'm going to try that as i too have rasbean jelly 10/10 build on my ns4g w/ marmite kernel 4.8.7. This combo plays very nice as well. I've had no reboots and the battery life gets me to about 24 - 32 hours of life. Going to see if i can actually beat that with Trinity kernel.
TNS11-JB-ALPHA12 is this the t11 kernel you use?

Well for the 4.8.7 version, the scheduler is CFQ and i use On Demand 200min/ 1000max. I use NS Tools to put the On Demand Sampling rate at 120000 to save battery. This works for me.

cm10 is said to be better? smoother? faster?
Well, it's a bit different stock rom is really smooth. I think cm10 stable is as smooth as well providing you use cm default kernel. Just try it yourself, it's nice.
However, if you're into looking for new things you may as well try cm10.1 nightlies. I'm amazed by how well it runs. Super fast and looking nice. Just disable lockscreen widgets(if you dont like them like me) and you're good to go

I'm using Helly Bean 4.2.1 right now and i'm not noticing any bug yet. The kernel that comes with it even performs good enough so you don't need to flash a custom kernel.
If you want your phone as bug-free as possible, i suggest flashing MDO 11.10 for now, then flash a CM 10.1 based rom when Cyanogenmod team already released a stable version.
Flash cm 10 stable version!! HUUUGGEE battery life, and perfect as daily driver!

Using CM10.1 nightly as daily driver, and I haven't experienced any bugs, other that the tilt sometimes stop working (reboot gets it to work again)
You can read more about it here (and se what issues other people have experienced) - Remember CM10.1 is only nightly's so far, so always look on the last page of the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058536
CM10.1 is a lot smooter than cm10,
For some reason, i keep going back to CM every time I try something else. There are always something that is buggin me with the other roms.
I have used CM9, CM10 and CM10.1 (nightlies) on my i9023 - CM9 was last one stable for me - worked like a charm. Both CM10 and CM10.1 crashes few time a day (all at default setting) - would not recommend for someone, who need to make sure phone is working - oftentimes can't answer calls, when some other application is running.
Using cm10.1 had some reboots only when tried to overclock. Otherwise it just works without any crashes. You should try to install after full wipe.

brought new nexus 4 and have issue

yesterday i brought new nexus 4 after trading my galaxy s3
i rooted my nexus installed recovery
flashed franko kernel
and installed paranoid rom
now the phone heats up too much even on normal whatsapp chatting
i tried to underclock it from setcpu but still heating is there
later i thought may b my phone doesnt handle paranoid or franco kernal
then i flashed modaco rom
but unfortunately swipe to wake doesnt work
i have still not tested the heating problem
can anyone guide me on setcpu setting or which rom / kernal to try
i am more interested in swipe to wake function
I have similar issues with a lot of Franco releases, some apps like fun run make the phone super hot. I use Motleys kernel, overall way snappier, and battery life is just as good. It's in android original development. As far as rom I use cm10 kang one by trailblazers that's built from linaro tool chain with bionic commits, it is faster than stock cm10 for sure. Try it, both kernel and ROM are built on linaro, good combo.

Super Stable Nexus S Rom?

Hi everybody,
i'm looking for a super stable and long lasting.
I found a lot of topic about "best rom", but they are plenty of little different request like gaming, music playng ecc.
I don't have any of these request, i just require a rom that will stand on without crashing the maximum numbers of hours. Actually my maximum is around 400h with cyanogenmod, i wondering if others rom could do better times.
Thanks for your attention!
CM10?
I used CM 10 to achieve my record.
I wonder if there were others roms with better result (even GB ones)
For gingerbread try oxygen rom it was the most stable rom for me and I came back to it a few days ago I haven't rebooted in the past few days with no slow downs and it still smooth

I have bad luck with slim bean, i tried it before and i had at least one crash/day, even with a clean install.
Another vote for Jellyshot with Marmite here.
+1 for CM10 with Marmite 8.5 kernel. I've been testing all roms... And probably the best tweaked rom i found was CM10 stable one...
+1 for CM10 and +1 for BlackBean6
Gesendet von meinem Nexus S mit Tapatalk 2
Jellyshot or Slimbean gets my vote
metal dragon overlord is the most stable i've tried
paired with matr1x and it should last you a looong time
I recommend:
Rasbeanjelly 11-6-12 Paired with the _thalamus kernel
Guide based on my usage
I've used a lot of roms in my persuit for perfection.. An addiction to flash really, but I have compiled a small list of the roms I've tried. I don't have a favorite, but I have found that once you initially set up your phone, most of the "features" don't really matter. I hope this helps, and doesn't stir too much controversy as I mean no disrespect to any developer(s) as all the roms have their good points.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An4M6zvBOQ1KdExJMDlCZlRwem9zS29Ma1VHRWhCLXc#gid=0
On a side note, I do prefer the Devil kernel, and Marmite 8.5 (smartassv2+row)
**Updated and easier to read**
Been running rasbean for months. Even stable when OCd with morfics kernel and super smooth as well.

i'm on xenonhd and its very stable. its just the launcher that sometimes makes problems, and the homescreen is rotating to landscape if device is turned, which i have not found any way to turn off. but you can remove the google-search bar on top which is nice.
i guess another launcher would solve the problem, but i'm not aware of a launcher which is basically stock, just with the option to turn off the google search bar (and no landscape mode for homescreens). any hints?
Yeah check out nova and apex launcher.
I vote for oxygen rom if you want gingerbread.
I have been using jellyshot 3.5 w/ air kernel lately and it is great

I've tried CM, AOSPA, PAC and finally SlimBean and combined with TabletUI, Xposed framework and Holo launcher the latter one is what I like most!
Eeehhhh. I use PAC-Man. It's not the most stable thing in the world, with it's occasional fast rebooting. But, I have never seen a ROM with as many customization options as this. Throw your favorite CM theme, and your favorite icon pack for Apex or Nova launcher, maybe play around with the transparency levels and colors on your Navbar and status bar, and then... Then you have a thing of beauty right there. I like it, even though it has it's quirks.
