Nexus S - Help to upgrade 4.0.3/4 - Nexus S General

I just bought the Nexus S about 4 days ago, and im absolutely loving it, as im new to android, my nexus S is version 2.3 gingerbread, i was thinking about updating it to 4.0.4, because i heard there was alot of issues with 4.0.3 as in battery wise and bugyish performance, had the bugs been fixed on 4.0.3? Also apparently the Nexus S cant run 4.0.4 only the 4gs version can?
if i did update it to 4.0.4, from reading around im assuming that the battery life is better than gingerbread 2.3? and were would i be able to download a safe version of 4.0.4 ?
Cheers,
dinjc.

does it have any bugs? do you know how the battery runs or would it affect/restrict my Nexus S from doing stuff?

it reboots automatic sometimes. mms is still not work.
battery drain is better than 4.0.3, about one day for normal use.
i think it's worth to use. try it

I say go for a custom ROM like mine. 4.0.3 can have GREAT battery life if you mess with the settings a bit. And it is less buggy (I never have reboots now)
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
CM9 Nightly Kang (Build 1 of v2.1)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy-7)
OC 1100/100 (conservative)

I'm personally currently using AOKP (a 4.0.3 ROM) but if you want to go for 4.0.4 I'd recommend either the stock port or irtehun's nuhetri ROM. Plenty of stable and great 4.0.3 ROMs out there though. If you want to stay stock, unrooted or wait for a guaranteed stable version, next month 4.0.5 is supposedly coming (Source: SFR via Android Police), it should fix all the 4.0.3 issues and well, do unknown other stuff

Best ICS Combination

Hello, I've been using CM9 but I find it a bit laggy.
What is the best ICS rom and kernel combination for speed?
Thanks
the latest cm9 kang and the trinity seuv kernel, you wont believe how fast it is.

i still prefer kwiboo's v2 + franco kernel.
i would love the SEUV kernel if USB and Data Limits was working. It was the only missing function.
PS: franco's wifi tethering is broken with the above combination.
After many convinacions I prefer Kwilboo v2 + franco
Cm9 isn't out yet nice joke.

I think the OP is talking about Alpha 11. Anyways, I am sporting Alpha 11 with Franco's kernel and works very well. I haven't seen any lag at all. Make sure you force hw in the developers option.

I hope that the current batch of ICS ROMS do not represent how the real ICS performs, or even comes close for that matter.

Its alpha cm9, but without the cmparts (cm settings) we're used to in CM.. as of now. Soon to change, I'm sure.
. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
I've tried Koush's ROM (now known as CM9 however refuse to call it that since there is nothing CM about it), and Kwiboo's ROM v2 and have to say that Kwiboo's ROM is the most stable and contained most of the features working before any other ICS ROM out there.
Pair Kwiboo's ROM v2 along with franco.kernel and you should have no problems. (I've tried the stock kernal along with the GlaDOS kernal as well.) Also running the franco.kernel with Kwiboo's v2 ROM fixes USB mounting and data usage!

Isn't that was makes CyangenMod, a CyanogenMod? Otherwise it's the same as any other ICS AOSP ROM out there.

just to clarify here a little bit - data usage and data usage limits are 2 separate functions.
data limits works with franco, but data usage has been working stock on v2.
i'm going to flash v3 soon and test out the differences.
IMNO kwiboo has a clear separation between kernel/drivers and AOSP which is probably why signal indicator isn't fixed yet. T__T

I've used the following combinations:
Kwiboo v2 + franco kernel
Brainmaster mix v5
CM9 Alpha 11 (Koush's ROM)
I've found CM9 to be the most stable and quite fast. Franco kernel would probably make it a bit faster but seems a bit unnecessary.
So far everything looks like it works in CM9 Alpha 11, whereas certain things don't work in the others (such as the camcorder in Kwiboo, and BM messes some apps up because of the ad-free hosts).

[INFO] Preferred Setup for Vibrant

I have recently came into the Vibrant community, coming from the MyTouch 4G community, and all I can say is that this phone is so much better, except the 4G portion.
For the past 3 days, I have been flashing over and over, different ROMs, kernels, etc. I just wanted to post the best setup that I believe is the fastest and most stable for this phone:
ROM - CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
KERNEL - 2.6.35.14 EB-Streamline
GPS FIX - Yet Another GPS Fix (YAGF) Version 2
RECOVERY - ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7
BOOTLOADER - Gingerbread Bootloader
If you have a better setup that you have been using, that you believe is faster and more stable, please let me know. Thanks.

ROM- ICS PASSION
Kernel - Streamline - eugene373's

Thats the best i've had.
Not only does it give the best GPS and battery life, its also the newest firmware, which I love the new UI.
I get around a day of battery life on light - medium-wise moderate usage, and GPS works all day long for me, there are infact some issues, it is BETA Like Mute/unmute issue, which I think is the ONLY major issue left.

Is this an actual ICS 4.0.3 ROM, or is it just a modified Gingerbread ROM to look like it? Because I've looked at many other threads for ICS development, and there are very few that operate at a level this one claims. I understand that in the settings it says 4.0.3, but that's easy to spoof. Has anyone actually verified this as an actual 4.0.3 ROM? If so, amazing, I will flash it soon. Thanks

Stable wise - I was using Team Nyx ICS RC5 and it was quite a good ICS rom. I am now trying TAJB V7.1, which is pretty good but has some annoying bugs still it seems, so my recommendation is to upgrade to ICS if you want the stability. I think the JB roms are better on battery though compared to ICS.

If you want a stable ROM, you might want to try CM9 (ICS):

If you want the latest JB, you might want to try CM10 Alpha:

You can try TiramiSlim v2.0. Probably one of the best ICS ROMs.

Try cm9 with devil3 kernel. Very stable and fast. And there is a offical stable version available now! The devil-kernel increases battery live and performance.

Also heres a popular list of roms and kernels
ROMs: CM10 Nightlies, Slimbean, Blackbean, Rasbeanjelly, Strawberry

You need to wipe everything (except sdcard) if you're moving from a different rom (PA)
Just do a nandroid/titanium backup and everything will be fine.

CM10 is your best bet, other ROMs like Rasbeanjelly+Trinity is also good too but it's more likely a gimmick imo.
Definitely start out with CM10. I just recently got into flashing custom ROMs on my Nexus S (was rocking stock for a long time), and CM10 + Marmite kernel (smartassV2, cfq, 200/1000) is my preferred setup.
I've also tried my luck with Slimbean and Strawberry 4.1.2, but both of them always had little annoyances that you simply don't have to worry about with CM10. That being said, the AOSP-based ROMs like Strawberry and Slimbean do run very smoothly. I do plan on trying out AOKP, however, as it has a TON of customization options and appears to be pretty polished overall.
Slim Bean is the best rom for me, but I can customize everything so I have no problem. For most people it's better to use CM10 and the Jelly Bean 4.2 gapps.

Both the ROM and kernel can have an effect on gaming performance. Try testing out another kernel to see if anything improves.
Like I said earlier, I highly recommend Marmite for the Nexus S. It has great performance and battery life.

1. Yes, that's the latest nightly. Should be very stable, as far as I know.
2. DO NOT download that gapps file. The one linked in that article has the old, ugly prototype keyboard and has force closes up the anus. You can search this forum for better packages of the 4.2 Google Apps, but they are all still a little too buggy or incomplete for my tastes.
3. No need to flash a radio. CM will not overwrite your current one.

Hi guys
in my experience, the best combo is:

Kernel AirKernel stable r2
the battery life is very good, there is no lag and with new ADW launcher, homescreen and drawer are very smooth

What version and ROM would you currently put on your Desire Z?

Yes just builds at the moment. But over the past 2 months a lot of the JB builds have gotten to the point where they can be used for daily roms now. Not many 4.0+ stable final builds, mimicry 4.0 is the only one that comes to mind.

Nothing on his site.
There is literally a thread like this popping up EVERY WEEK. Read my post here, and give some ROMs a go.
And it's blatantly obvious that 4.0 is going to be more stable than 4.1 because there are STABLE releases, and 4.1 is going to be more stable than 4.2 because there have been well over 100 test builds of 4.1 whereas 4.2 is up to about 10 - 15 depending on which one you go for.
To reiterate:
For stability = 4.0
For uptodatedness = 4.2
I wouldn't go with 4.1, it's pretty much in limbo at the moment if you apply my above logic.

Jb-20121212 are the ones to use
i like sense4.1,don't like JB UI
I THINK
4.2 AOSP Build 9. Look no further for stability, snappiness as that of near stock Gingerbread CM9.
I'm also using the AOSP 4.2.2 from Fyodor but Build 10. Just about to change to the Jelly Baby v1.1.0 just to give it a try but the Build 10 is THE fastest and snappiest rom I've ever used so far. Battery life is roughly 2 days and multitasking is just flying even without Supercharger.
Just give it a try!
Cheers
I've switched to Gen.Y VisionX R3 running ICS 4.0.3 and found it painfully slow after CM7.2 latest nightly. But the looks and feel much better than CM7 of couse. Which I had a ROM as fast as CM7 and at least half as good looking as Sense roms
AW: What version and ROM would you currently put on your Desire Z?
I flashed ASOP 4.2.2 from Fyodor, and it's very fast and there are no issues I found. Will keep it for daily use.
