[POLL] What OS are you settling with - Nexus S General

From a previous poll a few of you are going to keep your Nexus S for a year or more. So, what Android OS version (doesn't matter what ROM) or other OS are you settling with?

Jellybean 4.2.2 (more precisely Jellyshot 4.1)

Jelly Bean 4.1.2, CM 10 last nightly. 4.2 is just to much for the Nexus hardware (RAM to be precise) and there doesn't exist single thing which I find interesting to keep it.

Swipe keyboard perhaps?

You can just flash a zip & get the stock android 4.2 swipe keyboard!

I'm running the last official AOKP milestone release- it's using 4.1.2- with the last Matr1x kernel release. I keep most settings at default. It's the best all-around experience (stability, speed, battery) that I've ever had on this phone. I still lurk these forums and am surprised that I don't see more folks running this simple setup. It's like running a smooth stock Android phone, but with a few key extras. It's just the best to "settle" with.

Apparently gingerbread because it is just so smooth and the boot time is much faster since it doesn't have the triple buffer stuff

For use GB i really prefer use ICS! Its beautiful tham GB and still very fast.
Perhaps. Gamerzrom is ama ing fast! 4.2 sure is too much for our 512mb. But dont know why, its like 4.1

Android 4.2...
Jellyshot is performing really well on my phone. But then I'm a ROM flashing addict so i'll be visiting various pastures :laugh:

Jelly Bean 4.2.2 for sure

i hear some ppl saying that 4.1 is better because it's faster on our older hardware, but some of the 4.2 roms/mods/tweaks/kernel combinations are at least just as fast

Anybody sticking with gb for now?

I've tried pretty much every ICS rom aside from MIUI and gb seems smoother to me. Granted its had more time to be refined and I understand that but the intermittent lag here and there and other little hiccups (the keyboard just closing on its own while I'm typing, some missed key presses) are annoying. I'm currently running IMM76 on my 9020a and its better than the last ones I tried (IMO anyway) but I still find myself debating going back to my gb backup or at least another gb rom... just curious if anyone else felt the same way or I just need to give ICS more time..
Edit: Just wanted to let you guys know after researching everybody's suggestions I finally ended up on the latest Bugless Beast nightly build paired with the Trinity 1200 MHz kernel and have been running smooth as can be. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to answer and give their suggestions

Yeah, used to do that back in December, when ICS came out. I was flashing GB back every 2-3 days but just couldn't stick with it knowing there's something newer. Eventually got over the small lags in ICS and been using it ever since. IMM76D is even better.
I moved to a GNex last week, but I tried every ICS Rom for a while and ended up going back to Deck's GB. It's just smoother and faster. The Nexus S doesn't really have the RAM that ICS wants.

No, I'm running stock 4.0.4 now and the leaked 4.0.4 since the beginning of February. Before I was running stock 4.0.3, I've tried almost all custom ROMs and kernels in the dev section, but I don't need any OC, UV and that stuff.
And I'm rooted and unlocked, of course.
I left gb. Since official ics was released for nexus s. The UI of ics is much better in ics vs gb. Ics is also much faster vs gb. I always use custom roms since I started to enjoy the tweaks of a custom rom vs stock. Stock is boring for me.it doesn't have the pull down lock screen and notification. No toggles shortcut. No voodoo controls which allow me to listen to music while screen is off. No 3way reboot option. No bln that alerts when I received a notification. And much more....

try the ICS 4.0.4 OTA. I just installed it on my dad's I9020T and its buttery smooth.. My dad says it is alot faster than GB. (he knows nothing about root, custom roms and etc..)So if he says its faster (a complete noob) than it is definetely faster....
Slim ICS uses a non ICS launcher so it has the GB feel.
Its smooth and blazing fast.
It got me away from GB so I'd highly recommend it.
Good luck
I have thought about what the switch to GB would be like. I could never take a step backwards when it comes to tech and software. I see a lot if people posting about "ICS BUGS" but I have had little to none (AOKP MATR1X NOVA) when I first switched there was a comfort thing but that passed quick enough.
I won't switch until a new OS roles out. Give my set up a try for a few days and see if it works better for you.

I see no reason to. 4.0.4 is leaps and bounds better than GB. All these quirks I keep hearing about from people I have never experienced. It just seems some people look for things to complain about. But come on. No piece of software is going to be entirely problem free.

Should I upgrade to ICS?

Was just wondering.....
Kind of late to be upgrading
But I don't exactly own the phone.
Should I upgrade?
Will there be any issues with the apps / games?
Is there any new good functionality?
And I will be upgrading via Kies cause the phone isn't mine so will I be losing and Calendar Entries?
I know I won't lose contacts or apps....
Just worried about Calendar Entries.
ICS n GB really not much differences,ICS battery life shorter,unless you take the troblesom to do flash.
Better wait for Jelly Bean 4.1
no you should not . i m on ics but if i find enough energy and time i will go back to gb. ics on note is just gb with shorter battery life. paranoid is a good rom with very good hybrid features i liked it but because cm9 doesnt run an app that i have to run i had to quit using it . you can try it.
There are some superb ICS custom roms out there, but I try them out, even trying Stock ICS now, but at the end of the day GB is just so dam fast and battery life is amazing compared, all your miss is swipe to remove a single notification, a few extra Widgets and the odd setting...I suppose GB took a while to get to the good state its in now, perhaps when JellyBean arrives ICS will have evolved into a faster more battery friendly state...
My advise stay with GB
To be frank. I don't see a shorter battery life and I use my device constantly.
Ive usually drained the battery about 5 to 6 hours from a full charge.
I have Facebook, instagram, 4 gmail accounts (on push) and whatsapp.
yup ICS is faster in terms of response.... but also faster in draining battery
I would go back to gb if i could. I had no complaints on gingerbread ive found ics to have a less stable wifi connection and im not overly keen on the changes theyve made to task manager and the settings menu. I see little to no improvement overall and im sure my wifi is less stable i googled it and im not alone.
So keep it on gingerbread sell it in september and get the galaxy note2 running jellybean. Mine will be up for sale soon.

It's unknown, although unlikely that there will be an official release of 4.1. There will certainly be some 4.1 unofficial ROMs made available at some point though (I'm not sure the source is even officially out yet).

When my OTA notice (Samsung ICS touchwiz LPY) came in 1- 2 months back , I OTAed while watching TV. Easy as pie. ICS has been fine, better that GB in most ways but cleaner but minor upgrade, I like the new pen stuff, that I can use Photoshop and ICS apps and my battery life is fine. My only problem is the bug with my Samsung Car Dock, which freezes when I plug it in and have the phone horizontally but again my battery life is so good, I do not charge in the car. While I use the Samsung pen touchwiz stuff and am happy with the official toucheiz ICS, I would jump in a second to a pure ICS if Jelly bean was in since I love any kind of voice recognition stuff ( use vlingo and skyvi now) and the Google Voice/Google Now stuff has been rated as great and a game changer.
So while here at XDA it is all about odin, instructions and roms - which is fine - I can tell you that just straight OTA from Samsung touchwiz/ICS is easy and fine too ( at least for me and many others).
If you feel yourself wanting to get a smoother and faster experience at the cost of battery-life I would.
Just a note of caution though.
DO NOT FLASH STOCK ICS Chances are that at some period you will brick your note unless you flash another kernel (ie. franco kernel), because of the Samsung superbrick (or eMMc) bug.
If you are comfortable flashing custom ROMs I'd highly recommend using Paranoid Android. I am currently using it, and have had few to no issues with it. And with light/moderate usage, it still lasts me a day and a half or two between charges.
OK, updated to ICS via Kies a couple of days ago, and have tried it since. The battery life issue is a deal killer for me, and whatever extra features there are still does not make it better than Gingerbread overall. Can someone please point me to a thread or tutorial for rolling back to stock Gingerbread?

Jellybean slow as hell!

Is it just me or after a few hours of use does TAJB's Jellybean rom become incredible slow and sluggish? I know its still in early development but its only an incremental update from ICS which seems to be stable (for the most part) but sometimes its just goes crazy on JellyBean despite the Project Butter enahncement. Im starting to think that these new versions of Android are startin to push the boundaries for our tired old Galaxy S1's :S
The hardware of the SGS1 is old and outdated its just something we have to come to terms with. After using other phones with official ICS I understand why the SGS hasn't been supported, so I'm guessing its much the same with JB..

+1 :good:
It's the launcher, most likely. I ran into that problem as well.
I'm on iall5tar's GNex ROM 4.1.1 Port and it's smoother than ICS, which was already fairly impressive.
Our i9000's are old, but each software upgrade is just that—an upgrade. JB is better than ICS, and ICS was better than GB. We didn't get the official update because Samsung thought their Touchwiz skinned ICS wouldn't run on our hardware. In reality, it was likely because they didn't want to spend money updating a device they no longer sold. Not because our phones couldn't actually run it.
My phone has no been faster than it is now, with JB. Blame the ROM, not the OS or the hardware.
After coming from slim ics 4.2 I also noticed slowdowns almost everywhere such as app opening, entering settings etc. On the other hand I felt the same with early and not so early ics roms like icssgs, and always went to gb roms after day or two because of slowdowns, lack of toggles etc.
Then I tried slim ics 3.x and never looked back. Same will probably happen with jb, first builds are ummature but when devs look deeper into sources and find differences and optimization for sgs, the phone will be beast
I just hope there will be other option for handling the limited space in internal flash memory than removing datadata altogether, as jb seems to improve touch and animation smoothness there is little Google can do to improve I/O performance.

JB is not the end!
Hey Guys
I am using JB at the Moment, too (TAJB v6). I tested every JB ROM for our SGS from start, and in my opinion, the GNex ports were the fastest and also very stable, but unfortunately, the people want to move forward to CM10! Anyway, JB is definetly not too much for the SGS! Everything feels fast and smooth, exept of the randomly occuring super-launcher-lags. If this happens, just kill the Launcher Task or reboot. I think JB is not the last update for our SGS!
The clue in most cases lies in the term Alpha! You flash Alpha roms you are in effect becoming a tester, so don't grumble....work towards finding solutions and posting relevant feedback and bug reports

this slowness is because v6 is based on pawitp's CM10 build which has datadata deleted and used instead of it slower data/data.

[jRO03C] OFICIAL ANDROID 4.1.1 (JELLY BEAN) GNEX STOCK ROM (16/07/12)
I'm on [jRO03C] OFICIAL ANDROID 4.1.1 (JELLY BEAN) GNEX STOCK ROM (16/07/12) since yesterday and it is still smooth as babyskin. No slowing down trouble.
Only issue is my BLN does not work anymore, probably because of one little setting
Fixed the BLN issue,I had to RTFM Enable pulsating notification light.
Found one other issue, volume during phone call is loud and cannot be changed.

For those with lots of lag I recommend flashing again. I was on CM10 Alpha and it was super slow. Couldn't believe people were saying it was fast. Flashed Slim Beans which was also slow. Figured either people are crazy or it's me. Even read something about older phones having slower memory than newer ones etc.
Flashed Slim Beans a second time and this time there is no comparison. Now it is much faster. In fact it is almost like having a different phone.
I'm on [ROM GNEXUS PORT] jro03c 4.1.1 beta 4 [oficial jelly bean stock rom] and at first it's sluggish as hell...after a while it does begin to work a little bit smoother....but then again, it's nothing compared to other ICS 4.0.3-4.0.4 custom roms out there....it still needs a lot of work.
It has nothing to do with datadata and everything to do with the fact that project butter hasn't even been implemented yet. For example I use slim and it is super fast, it has no datadata.
Also we need a driver update and until we get that no butter for us.
Plus its an alpha build. Give it a break.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
vSync is not working yet. Also all JB releases are currently signed "Alpha" or "Beta", so what do you expect? They are not (yet) made for being used as a daily driver. Thanks to the devs, the development will continue
BTW: I also tried all current JB ROMs but they are still too unstable for me. It's nice to see that the i9000 can run them but actually they are not that stable yet.
yea it`s slow
i`m using JR003C it seems so slow and the network signal is down sometimes..:confused
There is a fix for the slow V6 on teamjellybean.noez.in but this is down for now... Wait for V7 and it will be smooth i think.

4.1 vs 4.2

I`ve read a lot of post that say 4.1 is much smoother and faster then 4.2. I've never tried 4.1 is this true?
Yep but that's my opinion, all the Devs will tell you there's been all sorts of probs with 4.2 and kernel related as well. Certainly faster but just lately 4.21 seems smoother then 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 . I've been using rasbean on my gnex and I lv it. The two fastest for me is bugless and baked!!
But I'll keep with rasbean coz its so smooth and great with Franco's kernel !!!!!

4.1 was pretty smooth and 4.2 lagged and glitches like none other for me. I am currently running 4.2.1 and it seems a lot smoother than 4.1 and gives me a lot of cool new features. Also I noticed if I restart my tablet everyday or every other day it runs buttery smooth.

4.2.1 seems to be smoother
True, 4.1 also has better battery life
Depends on who you ask. I took mine out of the box on 4.1 and waited about a week to install the 4.2 update, and didn't see a difference in smoothness, performance or battery life. Since updating my battery life has increased a bit, but as it wasn't immediate I associate it more with the battery going through several cycles than the update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Personally I find that 4.1 gives me more battery life. Everything else feels very similar. I rolled back to 4.1.2 in order to use directory bind to play and store my large games from USB stick as 4.2 was having issues.
I love 4.2, esspecially the multi-user function.
4.1 was definitely smoother. 4.1.1 is best JB IMHO. 4.1.2 introduced scrolling bug (when you scroll through home screens and it doesn't detect swipe correctly but instead returns to previous screen). 4.2 was a catastrophy, 4.2.1 is slightly better but still 4.1.1 rulez...
I've never upgraded past 4.1.2 which is fast and gives very good battery life. The multiple users added in Jellybean 4.2.1 seems a useless complication with the price of tablets falling so fast. At the new $100 to $150 price range everyone will have their own tablet.
It also depends on the kernel with what settings and what rom you're using. I use PA 2.99b9.5 w/ m-kernel a28. And it is super responsive and great on battery life.

Recommendations for a fast, stable Rom?

My Asus Transformer seems very slow. It lags up all the time, I often lose responsiveness to programs, ect. Right now, I basically just use the tablet+keyboard to type notes during class, but I'd prefer it if it was a little faster.

Android 4.0, I recommend Megatron. I ran that until 4.1 came out.
Android 4.1, I recommend TeamEOS 3 build 81 or MattmanWRX CM10 Paranoid Android hybrid.
Android 4.2, I recommend TeamEOS 4 build 91
I really like cm 10 gierdo's nightly (JB 4.1) with the kat kernel. There's a link around here somewhere for a great, easily flashable, TWRP tablet recovery.
The EOS 4.2 works great, but the tablet UI in 4.1 is so much better. I think google has unofficially "fragmented" these last two jelly bean releases, 4.1 is amazing on tablet, 4.2 is amazing on phone.

If you stick to the "nightly" builds of EOS4 (which actually get released about once a week now) instead of the previews, and use a proven version of the KAT Kernel (85 had issues including lag, but is fixed in 92), EOS4 runs perfectly. Even most of the previews are great, but they come untested and can have issues.

I only started messing with my tf101 recently, and the first rom I used was RaymanFX's cm10, which was great and stable. Later switched to EOS4 latest preview, just for the fun of flashing, and it turned out to be stable, too. Never had any serious issue.
IMO, the latest EOS4 build with the latest KAT kernel is better than anything ASUS ever released, and I had no issues with most of the ASUS stock releases.

I also flashed EOS4 a week ago but I had some issues.
1. Lag when opening recent apps
2. Very big lag when outputting to a TV screen using HDMI
3. Overclocked at 1,6 Ghz I obtained only 2300 benchmark points using Quadrant and 6300 using Antutu
Do you have the same issues?
I am curious what score you have.

1) I only had this issue running KAT kernel version 85. Every other kernel/combo has worked fine for me.
2) Never tried, so I don't know.
3) My Antutu scores are much higher. I can get over 6300 running at 1.2GHz. At 1.6GHz which I normally don't do, I've gotten around 8000. I haven't run Quadrant in a long time, but I know it was much higher than 2300.
