Well, here's a first.

I got my nexus s 4g with the same intention I've had with all my androids..root,flash custom rom,custom kernel, n have perfection on my phone. Well how surprised do u think i was when i got the phone n fell in love with the stock rom. Holy crap is the stock rom basically flawless...lol

Same here bro, same here!

Same, I don't see too much to complain about on stock. It's light, responsive and fairly stable. I'll root it eventually of course though. I'm sure there are too many under-the-hood options that I'll be dying without before long

My only complaint seems to be random data drop outs. Is that a known issue or wtf is going on lol

Same thing for me. Have had the phone since a few days after release and no real urge to root or do anything else.

Nexus s 4g is plagued with all sorts of data issues. Its what the alleged ota is suppose to fix. As far as the stock rom, I almost always run stock with a matrix kernel. I like bln amd voodoo color.

I totally agree with you guys, stock is rock solid on this phone. But voodoo sound and color really add to the hardware aspect of the Nexus S.

Yes but OEM unlock wipes your phone. That's why I did it not long after I got my phone even though I kept it stock for a while.

It looked nice and all but I just wanted to know what is cm7 actually based off of..? Just gingerbread..?
And does anyone know if cm9 willl have all the cm7 settings..? like the ones that literally controlled every tiny thing in the phone? And gave headphones button options and other hardware button options for when playing music? Cuz that was the bestt feature to me lol I loved pausing and changing my music from my headphones instead of having to unlock my phone and change the song or pause it lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

CM7 is based off AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.7
CM9 is ICS 4.0.3
And yes there will be lots of options in CM9 as it nears a release candidate.

It is often a minor setting adjustment. If set too quickly the sensor drains the battery, if set too low..noticeable lag. Don't sweat the small stuff.

He's a new cm dev for epic. He's had an epic a while, but hadn't devved for it. He does linux for a living (manager of red hat I think). So he decided to apply his skills to epic.

He also just gave us a flashable temp BML CWM for CM7 and MTD to allow us to flash the modem deltas...that is awesome in itself.

Wow! I never thought I would see ICS on this phone because of the internal memory limitation. I'm very impressed. Thanks to all of the devs.

Rotation lag is different for each physical phone. The dev phone in the video seems to be less sensitive than my production Epic.

I came across this while Googling earlier. Seems Samsung made their RC's available somehow. Though it won't help us, it makes me wonder if there is a possibility.

whats messed up is vibrant & Captivate has same specs??? SO WTF SAMMY

maybe cuz these phones are gsm ones. and closer to the international one.

These are not official Samsung builds, these are builds by Team ICSSGS. They are basically pure vanilla builds with no additional software or modifications, except for a few to get them to work on the listed devices. Thus no Touchwiz.. IIRC, Team ICSSGS began this project in November and have had these 3 phones with ICS since January.

nvm already been stated.

If your on XDA then you know we have ICS, so who cares? Even better it's cm9. Even better Marcusant keeps kanging other ICS based builds through it.

in what ways would this help or benefit us just curious is all? is it less aggresive TW so that we have more RAM? but seeing how we already have AOSP isn't that much smaller than TW already?

Honestly, I don't think the ram in the epic is enough for CM9, it just barely gets by IMO, so tw? Sorry but no, too bloated. Even the processor has a hard time keeping up with cm9, all that TW bloat would cripple it.
And yes, I still have my epic, and I carry it around everywhere. Just permanently in airplane mode lol.

Paranoid Android has changed the game for me. Huge AOKP fan, but with the screen size and tablet UI functionality built in I'm now back to AOSP.

CM9 - the original is the best. No nonsense, no bull**** - just plain awesomeness.

My vote is CM9

Stock all the way, if you want a phone for using, rather than screwing around.

And the purpose of this thread?
Sighz.....

correct nor cm9 nor aokp can handle feature rich phone like s3

I mean IF I was going to flash one of these it would be aokp, it's just awesome, and suits me well, but none of them are going to take advantage of samsungs features

AOSP=SGS>SGSII>SGSIII feature wise, you lost very few features if flashing sgs to aosp, little more with sgsII, but my opinion is that if you want to flash CM9/AOKP on sgsIII its better getting cheaper phone with less features (note that im big fan of plain android), since you threw some money away-you paid for smart stay, smart alert......, because sgsIII is more software focused than hardware
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Obviously, I bought GS3 because of 4.8inc HD screen and overall GS3 features. CM9 & AOKP cannot support all the GS3 features. So I would just stick to stock rom until I get bored with GS3 features before decide to flash CM9 or AOKP
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

I have used both AOSP and AOKP on my earlier HTC Sensation phone and my vote goes to AOKP there... but for S3, i tried both and atleast at this time, would stick with stock.

I'm relatively sure it fixes the ShiftySonOfA exploit. I can no longer root my device with that method.

So no point installing it? I can live with that.

id just avoid it like the plague, the odds of a developer bothering to work on an exploit if it does close the hole is slim to none nowadays since most of the devs have moved on to better phones by now

Avoid Sprint Official Updates like the plague . Never take an Update form Sprint till your sure what it is. It's one sure fire way to get yourself into ISH.

I didnt do anything to the ota other than cook it up Stock odex. I could deodex it and post that too so its easier for people to get in there and do mods though. Its all what you all want. But a debloated bone stock optimized rom dont sound halfway bad. Even though you guys have ICS and all that good stuff, some users do like Stock optimized ( no tweaks and minor changes ) so.....................
