Hi!
I did a little ROM test.
Test requirements:
dhd rom
stable rom
all important function working
release date or last new version in this year (2012)
the development or the support is not discontinued.
Test process:
full wipe
clean install, themes, mods no installed
after the 1st boot, set up the wifi and add the google account
download benchmark from the market
wait 5 mins and restart
wait 10 mins and run the test
The results see here: http://hotlinx.net/rom-benchmark
Important! This is not a professional test. Only a little help
Wow... Thanks for the effort you put in this comprehensive test. The comparative results are interesting even though somewhat expected I guess.
But from what I've read they're not really a definitive indicator of the rom's overall performance.
Is it true that with little modifications to the rom you can double the test score without extreme overclocking and without any real performance improvements?
Wow this is awesome. Thank you. Gonna try out GB MIUI again. Numbers don't lie!

I didn't change anything (widgets, options, programs cpu etc.). All rom tested in original "virgin" status.
Of course you can change many things, but that's an another test.
It's interesting. I know "feeling" isn't exactly a science but i left cyanogenmod 7.2 to go to ice cold and there was a substantial improvement in speed with ice cold sandwich. So much so that I was willing to give up cyanogenmod which i loved, had all features working perfect, and of coarse 720 camcorder.
I've definitely contemplated going back on numerous occasions so my phone doesn't feel "half baked" with the graphical glitches, camera, some message notifications not showing up, etc. But the speed just feels so good...
Oh yea but the interesting part is it showed a lot lower in the benchmark scores.

My personal experience is the numbers sometimes don't show everything.
Example: MikRunny performance is only medium, but the feeling... very smooth, no lag.. perfect. Feel as fast as a MIUI or CM.

Im a sucker for free ram though. I always preach in the Atrix forum that benchmarks dont mean anything. People hate that.

I've used both of them (before the test) and I could feel the difference. The specific numbers shocked me, but the conclusion doesn't surprise me..
Otherwise, you're right! It's the feeling that matters, not the numbers
Seems like CM 7.2 is on the top.

Love it. I come from a Vibrant so got really used to their work. This rom looks just like stock but runs like a banshee. The only thing you really need to know is coming from stock or any other rom make sure you clear everything to insure you don't introduce any bugs. The Trinity kernel seems rock solid, but if you need to use bluetooth don't install until it gets repaired.
I'm really liking the bionix rom. very smooth and fast. however, I'm one of those guys that thinks quadrant scores don't mean ****.

I love the Bionix NS1 ROM for the Nexus S. It's fast, very responsive and there is NO lag to report of. Paired with the Trinity Kernel, it's smokin fast. I haven't really seen much of a battery hit either, which is surprising. It's worth a shot. Go for it.

How about battery life? Any significant drop?
Battery seems the same as it did at stock. I really haven't seen a huge drop as one might expect. As for quadrant scores I too believe feel is far more important than numbers and with my current setup (Bionix w/Trinity14bv3) this no longer "feels" like a phone. It feels more like a rocket covered in melted butter shooting across teflon.

N1 running CM7 nightly #7. Keep in mind the kernel that comes with the N1 version of CM7 is more optimized than the NS version and is over clocked to 1113mHz. N1 also has no SIM card so non-wifi services.
NS running CM7 nightly #5.
Each phone benchmarked several times. Highest scores below.
Quadrant Pro:
N1: 1527
NS: 2448
Same phone setup as listed above but with Smartbench:
N1:
Productivity Index: 1197
Game Index: 1288
NS:
Productivity Index: 1238
Game Index: 3196
cm7 nightly #8 and trinity14b cm7 kernel
one more. this one is also my highest score yet, getting close to the 4000 mark
Just made the jump to my DHD from my HD2, was cheffing for the HD2 for 18 months so thought i would start again LOL
i have made myself a build, was wondering if anyone would be interested in it if i share
its going to be for the not particularly experimental people who need and want a really stable, stock(ish) CM rom
Froyo CM 6.1.3, uber stable
Really clean, no junk apps at all
Several performance tweaks, quadrant ~ 2300
Standard CM kernel (until i build my own)
thoughts please
G
gosh darnit i have put this in the wrong section, would a MOD mind miving it to the rom development section please
Unable to comply mate as any "ROM coming soon" thread is not allowed. Feel to post your downloadable file on this thread, PMme and "then" I'll send your thread to the right area.
Cheers,
M_T_M
PS: Do not post a thread over in development 'till your ROM is ready to be released, please.
No problem, on thinking about it it is probably better here until I release anyway!
How about cm7 with fixes and all since cn7 looks a helluva lot better than froyo

Yeah man,MrYuiM is right.Gingerbread is a lot better and more nice looking.Froyo AOSP is ugly butt.Plus,I think you should release it anyway;New roms are always welcome around here!

I appreciate you've probably put a lot of work into this for your own use, but all your really proposing is CM 6.1.3 with all the crap removed and some tweaks thrown in, I agree with the latter posters that you'd better serve the community by getting your development prowess behind teamdouche in the push towards CM7 stable than releasing this.
already got my GB rom well underway, just finalizing it really (it will be a direct port of CM7 RC2 at the moment)

Hmm, he might be lightening, we never know. What we really do need is a CM7 ROM with Lee/Mike/Segio's performance and tweaks included. Now that is a ROM from heaven But Lewarne, your work is much appreciated
i shall say nothing other than let my reputation with HD2 roms speak for itself
i wont release it for a while though
Patience is a virtue I'll look at your HD2 ROMS
i have to say though im not that impressed with CM7+2.3.3
i find it quite unstable (tried lots of the rom ports on here) and a little laggy compared to froyo.
eg, im making the same basic rom (same apps, general system tweaks etc)
CM6+froyo - quadrant of 3300 @ 1.5ghz
CM7+gb - quadrant of [email protected] 1.5ghz
Now i know that quadrant is not a good benchmark, and is highly vulnerable to synthetic changes. However, nearly a thousnd points is a lot of variance, so i ran a linpack run on each, taking an average of 5 runs
CM6+froyo - 49 mflops @ 1.5ghz
CM7+gb - 45 mflops @ 1.5ghz
that is again quite a large disparity! visually, i actually prefer froyo as i find GB a bit too dark, and its certainly mature and stable. Even checked out the battery drain on my froyo rom, getting around 10ma or less on idle consistently, and thats with the standard CM kernel !
i dunno, would you guys at least like to try.look at my froyo build? im much more confident in it than i am GB at the moment.......
If u can get one of the recent battery drain fixes for cyanogenmod in ur Rom I certainly would love to try ur Rom, performance tweaks in combination with battery fixes sounds good to me!
Looking forwArd to seeing ur work in action
i was living quite fine with froyo, before flash cm7, some tweaks are really hard to leave. specially long press in search button to open an app and long press in back button to close an app... and beside it, i'm getting 3~5 mAh of battery draining with mad patch in gb and with stock cm6 kernel it is 12~14...
these are the main 'problem' with cm froyo build for me! =oP
i agree with you that cm7 is really unstable when compared to froyo, cm7 has wi-fi problems, gps problem, rotate problems, radio problem... quite annoiyng to be fixing point by poiint.
if you realese your rom, certainly i'll flash, but i think your knowledge would be more appreciated fixing issues from cm7. =o)
I am sure the inspire 4G community would appreciate it as well .

I see where you're coming from, but also remember the drivers for the GPU for gingerbread haven't been released, nor have any of the other drivers I think. Maybe this could affect performance as the old ones are in use?

Hey man! You remember me right!?!? I'm quite happy for you to see you here!
Sorry if this is off-topic! But i'm also thinking of switching to DesireHD from HD2!
I know it's been maybe only 1 week with you, but how do you find it?!
How it is compared to HD2 in terms of build quality?!
To be honest i've been reading a bit in here and i'm not assured about it
It looks DHD have many build issues (without mentioning the expected bad battery issues)!
It looks it have issues with:
-GPS fix!
-camera lens misaligned!
-battery cover and sim cover misplaced or bumping out!
-dust under screen (which means unsealed gaps!)
-died pixels!
-...
It's really freaking me out! If i haven't touchscreen issues with HD2 i wouldn't sincerely think of switching!

Yo just to jump in. I have no problems with any of those, but I haven't really used the GPS and if there is a problem I do what many others do and install the GPS Status Toolbox Build quality for me is perfect and it looks smexy
Any updates mate?
I figured since there are 3 really good ROMs out right now, but I don't have the time to really test them out, I figure I would ask the question here.
Kenneth's Beta #4
vs
Dorian's Red Pill
vs
Sam's Ninja
What are the pros and cons of each that you guys have noticed? I'm looking to jump to one, but don't have all the time in the world. I've left out CherryBlur since it's based off of 4.5.2 and I would like to use themes Nottach has created.

your asking about personal preference which can be dangerous since people want to believe they are always right lol so be wary im using ken's rom and its pretty stock to what was released is really fast nice ui and can be flashed back, all these roms run well so its all a matter of which ui appeals to you if you like the new version of motoblur then thats mostly kens if u want a gingerbread(black and green) thats ninja although im not sure if the dock is on gb yet and im not aware of what red pill looks like but to be straight forward so far the two ive run sams and kens both run great its a ui preference.
I run Cherryblur and its my favorite so far, then I say Kenns since its just a stock ATT rom which is why it has the least amount of bugs.

i created ninja, i cn personally tell you i created it from att stock 100% ninja speed freak is the fastest rom available, prob the most stable too. as it is the one that has the least amount of mods. ninjas goals are too create the most stable base for anyone to modify themselfs. i have one confirm rom comming soon based off ninja speed freak.
kenns and navalynts are also great works. but they have different goals.
once im done working on cm7 and gentop ninja will be compile from source. based off aosp.

Oh. I'm an idiot. I've been gone too long. Getting thrown into this after GB and the rush of ROMs and kernel being created is bogging down on me...I apologize to the community.
I have been using CherryBlur v0.5 with faux123's latest kernel and Mattedblues theme. Battery life seems pretty good, speed is wonderful and everything just works. I haven't tried any of the other ROM's because I have everything setup like I want it and just don't feel like setting up again. I will not run the later CherryBlur ROM's because the themes will not work with them. Right now I believe all of the ROM's should perform pretty similar since they are all based off of the same source(except for CherryBlur v1+).

Anyone notice touchscreen lag or unresponsiveness on any of these ROMs? I just tried out all 3 actually, and all 3 of them have the same issue where my touches don't get registered if I'm using the touchscreen heavily.
Ninja SF all day everyday even on a Sunday. I like what Sam has done with his rom. Plus I like Sam's style! KP's is nice too. Red pill is red duh I know but I hate the color and because of that I haven't tried it.

i tried cherry and ronaldo's mod kens' beta 4.5
cherry is super smooth but it only has three page homescreen
beta 4.5 is a bit lag when going through page to page. but still acceptable.
i like ronaldo's mod kens' beta 4.5 better
K guys
since we are flashing new rom daily lets create a poll which is fastest for us
for me i think cyanogenmod is fast
Oxygen 2.2.1 most definitely
...in bed.
CM7 nightly works great for me after setting the overclocker
#Devnull is the fastest rom out there. no question, it flies. follow by #oxygen 2.1.6
I'm on stock 2.3.5 rooted with the Touchwiz 4 launcher. Love it.
I would vote for MIUI (tried it, loved it), but went back to stock because no way to get to EPST and gvoice acts wonky on it in my experience.
i have tried Cyanogen, MIUI (all three) and Oxygen. Oxygen is without a doubt the fastest!
Oxygen is fast but has severe browser lag (just like stock) - I have changed to NScollab based on cyanogenmod nightlies. No browser lag and fast as hell
Definitely NSCollab with the new Matr1x 5.5 OC'ed kernel. Score's well on all front's & is stable enough to be your daily driver

SuperOSR [formally SuperAOSP] though I would say DevNull 1.1 is blazing fast too. Usually its compromise between speed and features. Everyone has his/her own preferences
Oxygen 2.2.1 is vefy very fast : much faster than 2.1.6
Oxygen is faster than Cyanogen, nscollab and Stock, for sure.
Battery is better in Cyanogen

Try Oxygen with matr1x 5.5 : helped me.
Also, you can increase a bit the minimum cpu speed to 400, but will increase battery consumption 1% per hour in stand by.

i'm kind of dissapointed, i was expecting to see some screenshots of bench scores
come on guys show us some screens
I haven't tried many roms, but it's hard for me to figure out a rom faster than latest NSCollab 1.0.38 with Matr1x kernel 5.5
I say this because my phone runs smooth like butter, fast like hell, good battery life...almost unbeliavable!
But in reality I don't think this survey is correct as I'm confident that fastness and smoothness is only a question of Kernel, not the entire rom!!

I'm new to the Nexsus S. I have installed CM7 build 150 nightly. How did you OC your Nexus S? Also how much of battery does it affect? Thanks.

Go to "cianogenmode" menu, than choose "performance" and you will find it!
It does affect a bit the battery...but not so much!

You didn't included my MIUI Mod, since you are also using it, then you know how fast and smooth it is.

Hey guys when I got Nexus S it's official software update was at 4.1.1 so it didn't make sence to tri GB or ICS roms, it felt like a downgrade, everyone wants the latest stftware, right? But I recently got to thinking that when Galaxy Nexus came out with the first ICS people who had a Nexus S didn't really hurry to upgrade case they knew that they would be getting ICS asswell, but now with 4.2 not being supported ofitially it makes since to change the phone. My point is that eaven if GB and ICS are older the develpoment was more alive, so what are your thoughts? Should I try Gb or ICS? Whats the best experience you had in terms of music, video battery life gameplay (eaven if I never play games on a phone) regardless of the software wersion. I should mention that I'm a flashaholic so it doesent matter what rom I use case I get bored with it pretty fast, I'm always eger to flash something on my phone.
ICS is laggy. GB looks and feels outdated. Jelly bean is your best bet for a complete user experience.
1. Install carbon unofficial rom: http://goo.im/devs/Gingo21/Carbon/Crespo/CARBON-JB-EXP-17AVRIL2013-161548-crespo.zip
2. Install voodoo sound app and configure.
3. Enjoy a lag-free overall user experience (limited to most games) and great battery life (although i experienced the longest battery life on slim 4.2.1 v1.1, but not as fast as carbon)
4. Don't expect your NS to be as fast as a quad core device. But it can be on par with a dual core device in terms of UI and gaming experience.

Yes I know a custom rom isn't going to do wonders, I was just curious about older roms that I didnt try, I'm actually on Carbon, the last nightly, but the unofficial seames to be better than all the nightly's put together, thank you
ICS is generally the most battery friendly (can last days), but laggy.
Difficult to answer
I've been using Carbon ROM with Marmite kernel 8.5(bigmem), the experience has been quite good, much better than these low end devices i have at home. UI is buttery smooth and fluid. Temple Run 2 is a bit slow-ish but i dont mind. Now the main factor, battery! yes its not that great, GB was the best i hear. I think my battery is faulty too, might go for a 2450 mAh battery.

I think he's referring to this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2450mAh-High-Capacity-Gold-Battery-for-SamSung-Nexus-S-I9020-/330840785414
I don't really know if it's legit and/or safe to use.

Tkank you but I read reports on the Gamers thread that it has lots of bugs, Im not searching for pure speed if it means performance or battery life suffer, but thank you for the suggestion

There's only one bug as of right now that i know of, and that's the copy/paste force close, which is hardly a dealbreaker
If you have too many apps, 4.2 will be very laggy and have a pour battery life.
But i dont know how! Gamerz ROM still feeling like im on 4.1! Its fast and the performance is the best for a 4.2!
I have tryed all of those ROM in development thread. This is my favorite .
ICS is good two. Is a little slow than 4.1. But i liked it.
Just try some ROMs for a day or two. You will be pleasured ;/

yup will do, I'm on the flash everything chapter now
just try it
amazing sys
Jellybean is great but using it on the Nexus S is a really bad measuring stick to gauge Jellybean.. If you use the last official 4.1.1 build the Nexus S runs fair if you keep it as a minimalistic smartphone. (defaultish). Still.. It's more than obvious there is some severe limiting of performance due the single core CPU and severely limited amount of RAM.. 4.2.. Eh.. Too much.. I tried keeping my Nexus S active as just an MP3 player but PowerAmp randomly hitches during playback.. I put the phone to bed...
I have to say that generally speaking JB 4.2 is the best system that our Nexus S can run and the best user experience. We all know different usages means different results in battery life, lags, amount if free ram but in any case I feel confident in saying that once you have flashed a 4.2 rom there's no reason to go back to ICS or even to GB. It feels like an overall better experience and performance. Still, I wish the OS were a little more light on the small stock battery but hey, it's a decent tradeoff. Most of the time I'm on 2G data only because that's ok for my kind of usage (mostly emails and twitter) and with that the battery is quite decent.
The only issue that I have seen with the 4.2 roms I have tried is that after a few days (4 or 5) the cached apps are not recalled very quicly when launched. I usually reboot once a week and the problem is gone but in any case I don't feel dissatisfied at all.
I love jelly bean works great
