I'm on the ns4g port. Stability is good. Haven't used it long enough to give an opinion on battery life.

Stability and performance - JellyBelly, about battery, I can't say, and if my phone can survive from morning til night, it's good enough for me....

if u looking for something really stable, fast and smooth, try Jelly Belly 1.5.1
been running it sine release and never had an issue with it, plus u will get toggles, hold back to kill, volume rocker....
fully charge battery is giving me around 4hrs of screen on with constant use of 3g.
rom has no support any more.

SlimBean
Dude... I cant believe I actually need to say this... but apparently I do.
THE best rom out there is: SlimBean.
Krarvind is simplyl a genius. He stripped everything out, all the bloated crap, and left a really good rom.
Battery life is insane. I leave my wifi, 3g, blue tooth, everything I can open and chowing battery, and I only need to charge my phone 2-3 times a week.
I have been using slim roms since my college at work told me about it when ics came out, and as my friend Ori, likes to put it, its pure awesome sauce.
And now with the jb update, it really is as smooth as butter and runs incredibly.
I was considering getting an upgrade on my phone to the galaxy nexus, but with slim rom it would simply be pointless.
I would deff say my phones overall speed has increased x2 with SlimBean.
Its still in early stages granted, he just released it last week I think, so he doesnt have all the normal features, but it will come.
Seriously, if you are looking for the best rom for nexus s, look no further:

I second that, with latest thalamus kernel it's perfect for me

Maybe a bit off topic here but if you are gaming a lot, stay away from any JB rom atm.

I got to say, have a go with CM10 Euroskank, sorry I am new here so can't post links but it's in Dev section.
The OP said he doesn't need many features, so in general I agree with Slim Bean BUT .... the ROM I mentioned is so smooth and is continually updated as CM10 evolves. Plus I reckon the features will prove to be handy. Who doesn't like to customise their device eh?

Best kernel for stock rom?

I prefer balanced battery and peformance. Please advice. Thanks

All kernels work differently for different people. Try a bunch and see what works.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-

Franco kernel lets you overclock the gpu to what ever you want (416-750 and anything in between) so with that in mind you can create your own balance of battery vs performnce.
You cant overclock cpu but honestly it isnt needed.
Also with his latest release r25 th whol devive is much more responsive. Touchscreen etc.

i'd say go franco or trinity.

Good battery life kernel?

Currently running the sabre tooth kernel, runs very quick - but device seems to die rather quickly. Any other kernel that people can reccomend for the WiFi nexus7 that offers better battery life with minimal lag? Current ROM is also the sabre tooth latest build.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Try Franco.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29990763

I'm using M-Kernel and I would say that this is a very good kernel in terms of battery life and performance, although this is not geared for performance per se, but this kernel is more of a balance between the two. Other users reportedly are happy with the Omega Kernel, its still relatively new, but the reviews are good. Go try them out.

I like franco and lean kernels. To be honest, I cannot really decide between these two. The best is to try them both. They are very well tuned, so there's absolutely no need to overclock - this is very important to preserve battery.

Anyone able to post a link to the Franco kernel? The one in his thread is not loading the webpage where it is housed.

There's also a thread in one of the subforums that lists most of the current kernels and runs each one through the same tests to rank them by speed and battery life.
M and Franco seem to consistently be the top two for battery, but I wonder if that will change if Clemsyn's is ever updated.

I was wondering the same as I used Clemson's before....was beautiful on 4.1.2...then it just gave up on updates once AOSP 4.2 rolled out.

[Q] Bought it, now what?

Hi everyone,
I posted a few months back whether I should buy a Nex 4 or not. Now that I did, I have another Q.
With my old Galaxy S, i HAD to root and install ROMs cuz it was reaaaally slow. Now, with the Nex 4, it's super fast that I'm not even thinking about ROMing it any time soon. However, I was wondering about rooting it. Does rooting affect the speed? it made my GS faster. Will it do the same for the Nexus?
Thanks.

Just rooting won't actually do anything but installing the right apps will. Of course if you overclock it it will get faster, but personally I underclock it to save battery. I'd say it is definitely worth rooting it. You never know you might feel like installing a ROM later so it can't hurt to root now. Basically everything rooting did to your GS it will do to your N4 but the nexus is already fast.

I'd suggest a kernel change at least. The stock kernel made my phone very hot sometimes and the battery life sucked.

Unlock bootloader, root, start modding and theming, or flash custom rom, have fun, and ignore all the idiot trolls here.

I dont agree. Stock rom and stock kernel. Awesome. Provided that if you have not set sync setting for least times.

Same situation here, from Galaxy S to Nexus 4... well, I've rooted, installed Franko Kernel... and here stops my modding, now enjoying the speed . The only problem is that now every phone I touch, feels slower compared to the nexus

Thanks guys, I'm thinking of a kernel to save a little more battery and at the same time play some heavy duty games.

To each his own.

I rooted my Gnex the first day I got it. Although I plan on staying stock for awhile on the N4 since my favorite custom rom (CM) seems to be a bit glitchly atm.

What I did for an while was run stock-rooted for a bit. I turned ALL animations in Dev Options to .5 and my phone was flying! Quick to menus, opening and closing apps, and saving RAM. Battery life was great considering I'm a stickler when it comes to WiFi and Data toggled. Than I would run either PACman or Paranoid Android. Both were fluid experiences. But nothing beat Stock Rooted speeds.
It just matters what you're looking for. Try ROMs out, there's plenty of them out there! Good luck and happy rooting!

Honestly I thought exactly like you when I first got this phone but I eventually decided to root and install custom ROMs and I like my phone a lot better. I think you should

rom + kernel suggestions for gaming?

I'm an indecisive **** in general that uses data to make some decisions. However, there are so many options on the Nexus 4 that the data is getting me overwhelmed (should have seen my spreadsheet before I deleted it), lol.
So, just wondering what other folks use if you primarily game on your phone?
I will say I keep finding my way back to slim, at the sametime though I don't really feel like it's the one so always end up flashing a couple roms.... Then coming back to slim, rinse and repeat 10 times a day.....

You can use any rom you want for looks and customizations. For kernels you should try Trinity kernel by Morfic. It's great for gaming and everything else.

I have tried Trinity, not sure my phone likes it (fast bin) as it seems to run extremely hot for me.

Carbon + Franco

Personally I use carbonrom and matr1x kernel with overclocked GPU. This combination has run perfectly for me. So much that I have not even thought about flashing anything else for the best part of a month which is very unusual for me
