What are you thoughts on this?
Of course 4.2 is newer and better, but is it actually better on our phone in the real world. I feel that gingerbread on this phone was the best an there really wasn't anything smoother or faster FOR THIS DEVICE.
Is there anyone still out there that stopped at the last 2.3 build of Oxygen or Peter Alfonso?

According To Me JB Is Also Smooth. I Am Running JB It Works Great. No Lags Nothing. Big Games Like Modern Combat 4 & Dark Knight Rises Run Smoothly.
JB is not nearly laggy/buggy enough for me to go back to GB, the visual appeal is more than enough reason for me. Not to mention the features.
Gingerbread Rocks For Nexus S
Well i will go for the gingerbread because in GB i get better benchmark than JB!

i don't agree with your statement that '4.2 is better' and that gb runs smoother or faster on this device only, i actually think that 2.3.x was the best android ever made and it all went downhill from there
show me one device where jb / ics works better than gb and i'll buy you a new car
Let the troll rest

U need to distinguish between speed and fluidity. GB browser is really, really bad, menus are complicated and UI is unpolished on *every* device. JB is maybe tad slower, but it is better in every aspect except battery consumption wise...
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
I tried that oxygen rom, and that even without gapps. I got to say, after jelly bean 4.1.2 gingerbread is too slow and too ugly to use it. I rather have little smoother UI and nice looking rom more up to date than old, slow, sluggish, ugly rom. Also gingerbread doesnt have hw acceleration. There you have it.

Just because I can listen to music on a Sony CD Walkman just as well as a MP3 player doesn't mean I should.
It worked just fine but it is older, clunkier and not as well developed as the player today. Tech moves forward, so should we.

Time to move on WP probably. HTC 8S is tingling my mind and is ridicoulosly cheap here because everyone wants android phone now. 8S is very fluid and great battery life...

I got nexus s from craiglist for the time being till my Atrix get cm7. I got a chance to use miui rom. Wow I'm really impressed. I do love stock roms but this one is brilliant. It's completely redesigned interface. Looks like iphone but million times better! Anyone else got a chance to evaluate it ever?

Yep I used it all the time on my Evo, its awesome, its basicly a CM rom, but with different design, in fact, any phone that has official CM7 will almost have MIUI =)!

Oh wow. It's really great then. Can't wait to run this on Atrix. I don't know why Nexus S runs smoother than atrix right now. I understand that nexus s is running on gingerbread but atrix has dual core processor and one gb ram. I run out of ram on nexus s quite easily, that's the only problem I have.

What problems? Miui is a skinned CM7. Granted they have done some additional tweaks but it is still a CM7 base.

The very first day I downloaded it, it locked up over night and I missed my alarm the next morning.
I decided to give it another try, and then ADW launcher crashed about 15 times. BLN doesn't work, even with the new matrix kernel.
MIUI is a gorgeous app. I set it up the exact same as I did with oxygen or cm7, I don't dig the iOS look, but thankfully this is android, so it's customizable.

I like miui alot. But not having 4g is a big no no. I get a cool 1.4mb/sec on 4g. Can't deal with sprints horrendous 3g speeds. If it did have 4g I'd be torn between cm7 and miui. But...

Did you run fix permissions after install?
Sounds like it was due to the kernel you installed.
Roms don't affect BLN only kernels do(its baked into the kernel). Unless you turn notifications off.

Of course they do. Neither is a minimalist rom. No other rom can offer the extra features without it.

For me they were both kernels that came with the roms.
I hated miui for the longest time when I had my Evo, but really grew to enjoy it since early September.
The theming capability and launcher transitions really make that rom a unique android experience (no 4G in Dayton, Ohio, so not missing anything there).
Miui is the ONLY android rom that has significantly departed from the standard layout and configuration and I can appreciate that.
I've had the NS4G for little more than a week and am currently running NScollab (which has been flawless), but will almost certainly flash miui at some point. My only hesitation is that the Nexus is nearly perfect as-is and I don't have much motivation to change anything on it

What? The OP was a hypothetical question - miui doesn't have 4G support since the Chinese have very little 4G coverage... Kinda like sprint in America ha.
I have no use for Wallet, 4G, and little use for voodoo or BLN (although I do utilize the latter somewhat).
I'll really be sold on miui if they can entirely rid the rom of random Chinese characters. Drives me nuts.

I went back to Oxygen with Matr1x.
Everything is working flawlessly.
Bulletproof MIUI appears to have 4g. The icon in the status bar changes from "3G" to "H" on my ROM, and I get speeds of about 4mbps on average. When I lived in SAT, I got speeds of 8mbps on my G1, which makes these speeds kind of sad, but they're still better than some 3G speeds on other devices near SLC (where I live now).
So I just got my nexus 7, and if course I rooted it the first day.I'm currently running Paranoid Android and love it so far. Just want to see if there are any other ones I would be trying.
Thanks in advance.

Trinity kernel thread
Sent from my HTC Incredible S
I've tried them all and I think that Kaos Droid is excellent. I use it with the Touchwiz theme (included) and it looks great. It's stable, fast, smooth and elegant.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'd say Paranoid Android is the rom you should use. Kaos Droid is not that good. I used it for 2 weeks and when I dumped it I understood what I lost.
Codename Android - stable, regular updates, and a decent sized download for a rom that includes a substantial number of extra features.
You will not get a fast rom. The only thing that can make a rom seem fast is sped up animation's or completely disabled wich you can do on any rom. To make anything faster you need to find a good kernel. There are lots of great oms and kernel out here. Have a try yourself and see what you like best.
I prefer paranoid android for the tablet ui. Along with faux kernel or trinity.

If you like Paranoid Android but want the large amount of customization that Codename Android offers, you could also try this ROM, which is a combination of Paranoid and Codename. It looks awesome and I'm planning on flashing this soon.

Hey all,
I was just wondering: how would Gingerbread be on a Nexus 4? Comparing GB and JB on my old phone I think battery life would certainly gain a boost, just like how fluent everything is. Then again I like the JB UI way better, JB has more functions and more apps will be incompatible using GB.
What is your view?

That is impossible unless you're willing to build it and or make sure all drivers work as well and or reverse engineer the drivers to work on GB.
Plus why would you want GB? because of battery? Hell no, JB is much efficient and Android has matured enough.
Why will it never be done? Two words. "Project Butter"

Well, gingerbread isn't ideal to be honest.
However, a port of ICS or JB (4.1) can most likely boost the performance and battery life.
On the nexus 7, 4.1 ran better than 4.2 did. Performance and battery wise.

Correct. It IS heavy, file size-wise and ram-wise, but Touchwiz UX Nature flies. My S3, at least at the homescreen, flies compared to AOSP. It's just smooth. Sadly it's ram-heavy so you'll much easier get a slow phone. My S3 nor N10 have never been slow with AOSP.
Would be much cooler if someone ported a Galaxy Note 10.1 rom. :victory: I remember porting the tab 10 rom to TF101. Fun times.
