There is dozens of this exact thread in the Nexus S forums. A few active and talking right now in this very sub forum. Its all a matter of personal opinion. Do some searches, read some reviews, flash and try and base your decision by your use cause no one uses their phone the same way with the same signals.

You seem new to roms, its probably best for you to start out with this combination:
ROM: Cyanogenmod 10 Nightlies
Kernel: Default CM10 kernel
or
ROM: Rasbeanjelly
Kernel: Trinity kernel
Also heres a popular list of roms and kernels
ROMs: CM10 Nightlies, Slimbean, Blackbean, Rasbeanjelly, Strawberry
Kernels: Marmite, Matrix, Trinity, Air
You can find all of them here.

You need to wipe everything (except sdcard) if you're moving from a different rom (PA)
Just do a nandroid/titanium backup and everything will be fine.
Here's the link to stock, rooted, deodexed 4.1.2 rom: http://d-h.st/t7o
_thalamus 4.1.2 kernel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlc10xyx1...3.0.31-666_rel-9-g76bb0a5-20121016-213036.zip

CM10 is your best bet, other ROMs like Rasbeanjelly+Trinity is also good too but it's more likely a gimmick imo.
Definitely start out with CM10. I just recently got into flashing custom ROMs on my Nexus S (was rocking stock for a long time), and CM10 + Marmite kernel (smartassV2, cfq, 200/1000) is my preferred setup.
I've also tried my luck with Slimbean and Strawberry 4.1.2, but both of them always had little annoyances that you simply don't have to worry about with CM10. That being said, the AOSP-based ROMs like Strawberry and Slimbean do run very smoothly. I do plan on trying out AOKP, however, as it has a TON of customization options and appears to be pretty polished overall.
Slim Bean is the best rom for me, but I can customize everything so I have no problem. For most people it's better to use CM10 and the Jelly Bean 4.2 gapps.

Both the ROM and kernel can have an effect on gaming performance. Try testing out another kernel to see if anything improves.
Like I said earlier, I highly recommend Marmite for the Nexus S. It has great performance and battery life.

Hi, I just rooted my Nexus S (Mobilicity) the first time and I have some question here:
1. Should I just install this CM10 nightly cm-10-20121115-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip (seems to be the latest) ?
2. I found gapps 4.2 here ]highonandroid.com/android-apps/googleapps-4-2-for-android-jelly-bean-roms-gapps/, Can I use this for CM10?
3. Do I need to flash radio for CM10?

1. Yes, that's the latest nightly. Should be very stable, as far as I know.
2. DO NOT download that gapps file. The one linked in that article has the old, ugly prototype keyboard and has force closes up the anus. You can search this forum for better packages of the 4.2 Google Apps, but they are all still a little too buggy or incomplete for my tastes.
3. No need to flash a radio. CM will not overwrite your current one.

Thanks for your advice, I am using CM10 now. cheers!!!
Hi guys
in my experience, the best combo is:
ROM: CodenameAndroid 3.5.0
Kernel AirKernel stable r2
the battery life is very good, there is no lag and with new ADW launcher, homescreen and drawer are very smooth
Updated to 4.3 and I've noticed there is some screen tearing during transitions and animations.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHLLy9gjOpo&feature=youtu.be
Video shows what I mean.
How do i fix this?
Wow, that looks horrible.
The only cause I can think of, is that you/an app somehow disabled vsync (part of project butter).
Are you on stock?

Nope I was trying out the "custom" 4.3 roms.
Go to developer section and force android to use msaa4x also disable HW overposition (don't know the proper translation in english, its the option bellow msaaa4x)
You have to set it up every reboot, it only happens with aosp jss15j, no problem with the earlier 4.3 version
Happens when there is kernel mismatch between the 2 different 4.3 builds JSS15J and JWR66V.
For now just flash stock images instead of using custom ROM
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Which build of 4.3 are you using? the J or V version?
you have to use a kernel corresponding to the correction.
Custom ROMs will most likely follow the J version as it is newer. The V version uses a kernel with over 50 GPU commits.
Currently using Kalo's 4.3 rom, there seems to be no issues on this rom.
But problems start to arise when i flash franco r170

Because franco r170 is for the V build. He is on vacation, I think it ended last night (or today) you have to wait for a JSS15J build or stick with stock.
Faux has a JSS15J build (019) and semaphore has one as well.
Solved permanently using semaphore j variant

Hey guys. Me and my friend here (both have the N4) ave rooted and all. We wanted to install a Custom ROM with a kernel. So by far what is the most stable kernel-ROM combination you got? ROM is a 4.3 recommended and PA is also welcome (but i think it still has bugs but i can live with it). Since they're too much ROMs to try.. I was hoping I woulf do the flashing etc after my exams are over. Peace!

if you want a stable rom you should try cataclysm rom. it looks like a stock rom and there are a lot of features in it(and those feature is unique,in the sense of you can hardly find all of those feature in other roms), Simple,but quite satisfying.
But if you like to customize your phone a lot, this won't be a good choice, you should try Paranoid Android.Hit the thanks!

Thanks for the swift reply bro really appreciate it... If u could tell me another thing, please... I guess I would go with Paranoid Android's latest build. Which kernel do u recommend? Im sick of these dull/washed out colors of this screen aswell... Know any good performance kernel with that color adjuster? I know PA comes with Franco but still it would be nice if you would suggest me one
Sent from my Nexus 4
I think Franco is good. Using another kernel might make the rom unstable. And a wrong kernel could brick your phone

Dude this is a nexus. Any kernel works with any rom as long as you dont use a 4.2 kernel for 4.3 rom for example.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
For me ,the best combination was on CarbonRom 1.8 Stable with Franco Kernel M3. Now I have stock 4.2.2 JDQ39E rom with Franco kernel M3 also ,and I think that performance with stock is even better.
Thanks all. I think i'm gonna take a plunge into PA really appreciate the feedback guys but still if someone can tell me what makes u have the new colors?

You can try PA by stock itself, or like me, although I like QS and Navbar with Option button, but then I still like Stock JWR with Franco's 174.
I'm using this combination to go to my 4 days trip.

Hold your horses, I thought PA works on JSS? The kernel is not compatible. The only JWR is the stock, Cataclysm and those stated in AD section but there isn't much too.

Doesnt matter as long as you dont install a jwr kernel. You can just flash a jss build over a jwr build if you want. Only if you combinate a jwr rom with a jss kernel or vice versa you will have some screen flickering.

Are you sure? Hmmm. I got experiments to conduct when I'm back.
Personally I still prefer Stock and Franco .

It's very unlikely that the ROM mentioned above is actually very stable, the first build for the nexus 4 just came out last week.
A better answer is to use CyanogenMod 10.1.2 Stable from here
Francos kernel is general pretty stable but the stock CM kernel will probably be most stable.

Dude all users of the rom say its very stable. Dont blame me for your lackness.

Okay so I think I should remain stock just for a while right? Cuz i see many roms still being unstable and all. We have XPosed framework so i might be able to do most of the stuff PA can do.. Or just go with Cataclysm rom thanks to all for ur wonderful responses i really appreciate that

I put crDroid (Build 4) in my nexus 4 and change kernel to ak113, ak122, faux019b04m and Enhanced Stock Kernel but other reboot I lost signal...try to reboot..and got boot loop... How to resolve this problem?
You probably flashed a JWR kernel in a JSS rom or viceversa. Try checking with which kernel is crDroid compatible (probably JSS)

Have you flashed 4.3 Bootloader&Radio?

yes: Radio .84 and Bootloader z20i
I do not know well your policy on the UP, but since I have less than 10 posts I can't do anything to ask here, and for me it's important.
I'm curious what everyone thinks the best Recovery is for the Razr M and what are the best kernels as far as functionality, battery life, and speed.
I haven't played around with installing custom kernels and ive been using the CWM recovery on my razr m and im currently running the AOKP custom ROM.
Dead Calm, arghhh kernel
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 4
I think cwm is better than twrp but I am prejudiced by having wiped my extSD in one of the newest versions. See my signature link for an older BETTER version.
I like TWRP 2.6.0 and I had been having great performance with Carbon ROM 1.8 running the arrrghhh kernel. Currently though I'm having issues running arrrghhh kernel with the Carbon ROM 4.3 nightly (runs smooth with the provided kernel) and yes I did use the CM 10.2 version. I'm sure this will sort it's self after a few more updates.
***edit***
as of 8/16/2013 the arrrghhh kernel and carbon rom nightlies now work together properly

When installing a custom kernal, do i have to take any special steps such as wipe dalvic etc..? Or simply just flash zip from cwrm?
Making a backup and wiping cache and dalvik are always a good idea.
