I hate change. So, since I have worked on specializing NY CM7 for just me, then ics coming out, makes it hard for me to want to go to it. I love my setup as well as my performance here on gingerbread. But, I have pulled myself to download oICSv41 as well as the GLaDOS kernel. Is there any big bugs with v41 I should know about..? As well as with GLaDOS. I know of the reboot problem, but it sounds like its just people using set CPU. And if I do have problems ill just go to mathkids trusty matr1x kernel that I've been using since 6.0. Although none of you will provably care I just felt the need to say this, thanks guys
PS. If you have problems like this, post then below, weather it be with phones or not.

I hate change too... I've flashed and tried just about every ICS rom and kernel out right now, but still find myself nandroiding back to my latest GB MIUI setup. Not once did I get excited about ICS coming out... honestly I don't see what all the hype is about. It took a year to get GB to what it is today, so I wonder what ICS will be a year from now.

I feel exactly the same way. I absolutely LOVE my gingerbread the way it is. And about five minutes ago, I flashed back to good ole gb. I wont flash ics until an official ota cones out.

Idk bout you guys but I'm not afraid to try new things, have fun living in the past cavemen lol. But things about ics right know are all known issues that Google already knows about. Bad battery life due to android os keeping the phone awake, home screen lag which gets resolved by using either kernels you mentioned and depending on the from you settle on, incoming mms doesn't work but outgoing does. Other than that, its bad ass and something new.

I tried ICS for a day, straight back to GB for me, it seemed like a step backward for me coming from MV roms.
Matr1x v13.0
(Oc 1300/200 smartassv2 and live Oc 105% raise voltages by 15)
Nexusbeam 4.0.1
Perfect combination. Everything works, no complaints.
Quadrant scores of 3434, which is respectable.
ICS is the way to go!
Hope this helps you decide.
Even though I finally have a decently running ICS ROM.. I'm still disappointed by ICS. I think a lot of it had to do with the very large overhyping it got.. I mean we all thought our phones would be ****ting rainbows and unicorns, and didn't, not even close. It's a cosmetic re-design with annoying hardware accelerated web browsing..
The accelerated web browsing is so poorly implemented one of the first features I'd love to see in a ROM is the ability to turn it off. I'm much rather put up with the occasional "hitching" while scrolling instead of the "Scroll, scroll scroll, wait for it to render and make the blur go away" craptacular experience it is now.

And that's the story with anything new that comes out. Everyone hears about something new and runs with it and praises it to the heavens and back without knowing anything about it (true hands on experience). Its always best to form your own opinion on things and not let hype or anything like that to get in your way of judging something.

It's weird because the render time is insanely long on the OTA. But, when I had installed Kwiboo's or CM9, the browser experience was amazing!

I dunno, i look at GB now and it look ugly and clunky. Stock ICS is running just as fast (or faster) and stable as stock GB did for me. I don't even have the desire to play with custom ROMs and kernels anymore, ICS is so close to perfection for my needs. Unless CM9 offers something really great, I'm sticking with stock ICS.
I've tried pretty much every ICS rom aside from MIUI and gb seems smoother to me. Granted its had more time to be refined and I understand that but the intermittent lag here and there and other little hiccups (the keyboard just closing on its own while I'm typing, some missed key presses) are annoying. I'm currently running IMM76 on my 9020a and its better than the last ones I tried (IMO anyway) but I still find myself debating going back to my gb backup or at least another gb rom... just curious if anyone else felt the same way or I just need to give ICS more time..
Edit: Just wanted to let you guys know after researching everybody's suggestions I finally ended up on the latest Bugless Beast nightly build paired with the Trinity 1200 MHz kernel and have been running smooth as can be. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to answer and give their suggestions

Yeah, used to do that back in December, when ICS came out. I was flashing GB back every 2-3 days but just couldn't stick with it knowing there's something newer. Eventually got over the small lags in ICS and been using it ever since. IMM76D is even better.
I moved to a GNex last week, but I tried every ICS Rom for a while and ended up going back to Deck's GB. It's just smoother and faster. The Nexus S doesn't really have the RAM that ICS wants.

No, I'm running stock 4.0.4 now and the leaked 4.0.4 since the beginning of February. Before I was running stock 4.0.3, I've tried almost all custom ROMs and kernels in the dev section, but I don't need any OC, UV and that stuff.
And I'm rooted and unlocked, of course.
I left gb. Since official ics was released for nexus s. The UI of ics is much better in ics vs gb. Ics is also much faster vs gb. I always use custom roms since I started to enjoy the tweaks of a custom rom vs stock. Stock is boring for me.it doesn't have the pull down lock screen and notification. No toggles shortcut. No voodoo controls which allow me to listen to music while screen is off. No 3way reboot option. No bln that alerts when I received a notification. And much more....

try the ICS 4.0.4 OTA. I just installed it on my dad's I9020T and its buttery smooth.. My dad says it is alot faster than GB. (he knows nothing about root, custom roms and etc..)So if he says its faster (a complete noob) than it is definetely faster....
Slim ICS uses a non ICS launcher so it has the GB feel.
Its smooth and blazing fast.
It got me away from GB so I'd highly recommend it.
Good luck
I have thought about what the switch to GB would be like. I could never take a step backwards when it comes to tech and software. I see a lot if people posting about "ICS BUGS" but I have had little to none (AOKP MATR1X NOVA) when I first switched there was a comfort thing but that passed quick enough.
I won't switch until a new OS roles out. Give my set up a try for a few days and see if it works better for you.

I see no reason to. 4.0.4 is leaps and bounds better than GB. All these quirks I keep hearing about from people I have never experienced. It just seems some people look for things to complain about. But come on. No piece of software is going to be entirely problem free.
Seriously, it's like treacle! I'm about ready to root and install gingerbread.
Dialler takes forever to come up, when I tap the search button it takes many seconds for the keyboard to appear.
No-one else seems to mention this problem?
I have very few apps installed, and certainly no bloatware like task killers, etc.
No, you aren't the only one. Our phone is just a bit too old. All we can do now is bear with it until we upgrade.

Jelly bean is slow as **** for me. I guess most of the people just can't notice that jb's animations and reaction time when touching the screen is just delayed.
I've been frustrated with my nexus not acting fast untill i tried one combination. I'm i9023 user and this combo is just perfect for my phone. No input lag whatsoever, no animation lag, everything is just fast and instantly responsive. Give it a try and tell me what you think.
Cm9.1 stable:
http://get.cm/get/3F6
Air kernel 4.4:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lfonudtw9ngerwf/Air_Kernel_v4.4_65fps+blue.zip
Gapps:
http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip
Use it with apex launcher, because trebuchet may lag when opening app drawer. To avoid dialler lag, i suggest using exdialer, it's downloadable from the market.
Please try that and let me know if I'm the only one who sees the difference
Even the keyboard is just faster than on jb. Scrolling, switching between windows, statusbar is more responsive. Try and tell me what you think.
Sometime I wonder how come poeple say jelly bean is faster than ics. First impressions are good, but after very short time of usage jelly bean is full of slow ****. Every rom based on jb is just slower than this combo.

Nope. No problems here. Phone is fast and stable, although a little struggling with battery life, but like I said before somewhere in these forums, life is full of tradeoffs.
Yes this thing is slow. Its actually kept me from being involved with the phone. I don't add different ROMs or anything anymore because they all feel to heavy for this phone.
I'm just counting down the days until the next Nexus is released.

Xperia ROM
Hi,
For all of you who are not happy with the speed of Nexus S, try using this rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827071&highlight=xperia
I can assure it is definitely much faster than the stock ICS or jellybean ROMs. If you have been using the stock Nexus S ROMS, you will see noticeable difference in the colours. They are much better on this Xperia ROM and does not have that yellow shade. I love the ROM and believe me I have tried almost every ROM available on XDA for for Nexus S.
Though there are 2 issues, for which I haven't found any solution, it blocks the calls coming from unknown numbers and you do not even see a missed call. And you can't use the default screen locks. But apart from these, the ROM is rock solid, never crashes or hangs, everything works fine and it is ultra smooth.
If you think your phone is running slow, I highly recommend this ROM. Everyone should give this ROM at least a try.
Let me know if I helped by clicking Thanks
Mines seems fast but battery life is terrible getting a galaxy nexus next week

I don't really notice a difference speedwise between ICS and JB. They are both a little slower than GB was, but not unbearable. The added features of ICS/JB are well worth it IMO.
Overclocking a little bit can help, although it can hurt battery performance a bit.

Agreed. Current combo keeps up with wife's combo. Don't know what the OP is talking about. See sig for both setups.
I agree with jellybean being kinda slow. However, i dont know if it's just the rom's were installing on our device, cause i kinda remember stock JB being pretty fluid which is kinda making wanna go back to stock again
GB was stale, solid, and best battery life.
I miss having a flashlight app that worked and better battery life.
ICS and JB have been ok up until I started having power button issues last week.
JRO03L update seems to have fixed the majority of freezes, crashes, and power button issue.
After the reality has set in, I would have stick with GB
no problems here. aokp jb build 2 and beladus marmite 4.4 kernel combo is running smooth on mine.

Are you implying that every end-user of android phones should learn to root or install custom roms/kernel to get a DECENT experience? While I'm content to see Google supporting a device almost 2 years after its release (Apple does that as well btw), I'm kind of feeling disgusted about the overall user experience, laggyness, crashes, random reboots and decreased battery life. I wish Google released a FINISHED product/operating system and not leave its customers in a sort of beta-testing fog.
I'd suggest backing up your data and wipe your whole device like a madman. Format.
And start from scratch with the rom of your choice
Might be that time for your ol' precious Nexus S.
I did. And its very worth it :thumbup:
And for the others.. like the previous post..
Jump on the apple train. Yes, There os is stable... but stale

Memory management is the problem...
I think the problem has to do with the way memory is managed in ICS/JB... I still can't find found a recent ROM that will keep the launcher in memory no matter what. That's terrible for user experience! None of the task or memory manager apps in the Google Play Store seem to help either.

My annoyance with laggy 4.X.X finally spilled over the edge and I moved back to stock gingerbread. I am loving it!! Lightning fast, just the way it was when I first got nexus s. I miss some of the jelly bean refinement, but the phone responsiveness in everyday use is much more important to me.
Besides stock 4.x.x, I tried cyanogenmod 9.x.x. Lag is just unacceptable. I figure Google optimized ICS to be thread happy targeting new multi-core devices, pushing our single core nexus s under the bus.
not any laggy in here ! poor you
4.1.2 here. fast and fluid. great battery life too.
BUT I feel your pain and have been very frustrated before, ya just need the right mix of kernal rom and settings.

As for not agreeing, found this nice video, fun begins at 0:45 :
Good video.
It's side by side comparison of
1. Loading the web pages
2. Scrolling down the web pages
3. Opening/closing apps
4. Moving between apps
Scrolling down the web page is the only comparison where ics is ahead. I believe it's only faster while working with large, full size web sites. Also,GB, allows you too scroll before the web site is fully loaded while JB makes you wait longer. I suspect it's a factor in making scrolling choppy

The problem with Androix 4.x is that it eats more RAM than Gingerbread and animations are sometimes laggy on the Nexus S.
I'm running 4.2.1 quite happily on my NS4G. Using the Marmite kernel I have quite a bit of RAM compared to stock kernels. I also limit my background processes as I don't really use any multitasking (2 processes is where I cap it).
Meh, to each their own. I loaded up CM7 stable a few weeks ago and couldn't stand being back on GB, however, my wife is still running 2.3 on her Inspire 4g and I can't get her to even do the OTA for 2.3.5(? maybe .7).
Flash 4.2 and you will feel the real speed.

It'd be slow, the newer version are much more optimized, you can test web browsing with GB vs JB.
If you want to use GB, get an original Galaxy Note and use Odin to flash it back to Gingerbread. That was one of my favorite phone and one of the last phone Samsung made with decent build quality, imo (here come the Samsung fanboys).
If home button lags for you, try a different browser.

First off, going back to GB is just silly. Not only will GB been slower than kit kat, it is also ugly as hell in comparison, with half the functionality, plus many google apps need android 4.0+ to get their full functionality.
Kit kat runs faster than anything else on the nexus 4, especially with ART on. If you get lags/issues, then something else went wrong, most likely in the way you upgraded. I suggest you flash the factory images through fastboot.

To everyone that has lag on Kitkat... have you by chance done a dirty flash?
It was behaving erratic for me too until I started with a clean slate. Backup your data, let the factory image flash do its job and voila, fast Kitkat.

Come on guys, think about it. It would be so fast.
Has someone made a GB ROM for the Nexus 4? I bet it would be wicked fast and smooth compared to other ROMs with higher Android versions. Is there anything that holds it back from getting GB?

Why would you think it would be fast?

GB was not optimized for multi-core CPUs. Would run like garbage.
