Hello all, I have a Nexus S device.
Before JB I use to flash CM every day and it works great. Now I have installed official JB and I want to speed-up my little machine.
Which ROM/kernel do you recommend?
I need stability and battery life.
Thanks and best regards.

I have this combo too. Everything is smooth and the battery life is very good.

There is no "best" combo and often these types of threads are closed. Why? Every phone runs in a different way. I say pick 1 ROM and kernel, give it 2 days and then switch it up. It is easy to clean install with TB. Example: try Cm10 stable version with latest marmite. Then try it with Matr1x kernel, etc. Then try AOKP with marmite, Matr1x, Trinity, etc. then try another ROM with ....
Find what is best for YOU. We all like different things and all our phones perform different on different combos.
Flash and have fun!
Thanks!
I will try CM10 with marmite.
Best regards.
I'd recommend Paranoid Android with matr1x kernel....lightning fast, very stabile, fully-featured, CM-based, and the best battery life of any combo for me
Everyone has their own preferences, so really it comes down to what you are looking for. Personally I'm running Strawberry (Metal Dragon Overlord or whatever) and Marmite 7.1. I'm not quite ready to test the 4.2 ROMs, but I know people who are running them and loving them.
Hell - people like to go back to Gingerbread!

I've found AOKP with the Marmite 7.1.3 kernel works well for me. Fast, stable, and good battery life.

Me too!
I'm on RasbeanJelly + AirKernel, great combo too.
I'm on CM10 but haven't flashed a different kernel..
Really happy of phone's performance so far but perhaps battery life is improvable..
Since so many of you are happy with Marmite I guess I'll give it a shot..
I'm coming from AOKP JB milestone1 which was the best JB ROM i had tried since to days ago.I now have Jellyshot with marmite kernel and everything is smooth and stable.If you want a JB rom try this.
Could somebody port jellyshot to the ns4g?

Ok people,
I have CM10 and followed your advise.. just flashed Marmite 7.1 kernel
I was expecting to see in kernel version (in phone settings) something like Marmite 7.1 blabla.. instead I see an 3.0.52-bedalus_CM-0347--blablabla..
I know mr Bedalus is the developer of Marmite, but anyway I just wanna make sure and make this stupid question..
Do you see the same blabla kernel version as I do or have I somehow not flashed the kernel right
forgive my noobness :angel:

Sounds like everything is fine. Enjoy. Try other ROM and kernel combinations to find the one you like best. The Nexus S development section is still active, if not more active since 4.2, have fun.

Where can I download RasbeanJelly 4.1.2 since the repos are empty?
blackbeen 6 + matrix 24 is for me the best choice
Good ol' Rasbeanjelly

Hey I am new to Kernels, I am running CM 10.1 Nightly 0124 build. I just flashed Franco's kernel and was wondering what does this give me? Like settings wise I dont see anything different from CM's kernel
You get under the hood improvement mostly. There are extra features such as force fast charge and under volt on the latest test build, but really, franco kernel has been amazing performing kernel.

In my opinion, yes. But you could get a little more into the kernel and change a lot of things, which I don't do since it is already amazing

Franco's kernel gives me great battery life. You can flash and forget if you want and the default configurations will work just fine. Or if you want to delve into the settings more I would recommend purchasing his app. And he just added UV-ing in the latest test builds
Go in franco's kernel thread, new updates and settings!
Franco kernel changelog: http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/appfiles/nightly-changelog
You should find everything you need in here.
Franco kernel is awesome! im on r61 and cm 10.1
Check the paid version of Franco's kernel app for lots of different tuneables for his kernel.

The real question is, why did you flash the kernel if you don't know what it does?
franco kernel
I am running Franco kernel r53 and the best thing it has given me is excellent battery life. I am gong on 1 day 11 hours without a charge and have 3 hours of screen on time. I'm running paranoid android instead of CM so I can't say your results will be the same but I am loving this kernel.
Or is their stable kernels or roms already? Also what exactly is the benefits of roms? Never tried it before only kernels
Roms just give you more features and on 4.2 I used custom kernels because of bad battery life but stock 4.3 kernel is awesome in my opinion. I'm running cn10.2 unofficial because I like extra features (quick toggles,etc). Stock is a very good choice if you don't care about that stuff

Im still running PA 3.99 and i really love the stability and battery life. The later is tremendous. I now wonder if there is a 4.4 ROM out there which is as stable?
is PA 4.1 as stable? what about battery life?

The latest PA last time I check they don't have all the features enabled until a more stable ROM is built then the features would be added.

I'm using 4.1 and I find it more stable than the old PA. I have yet to get a SoD or random reboot.

PACman rom is great, I've used it on all three notes. Has lots of customisation. I'm also waiting on a PA port though, I'm loving what they are doing with kitkat... Almost tempted to get a nexus 5 just so I don't have to wait haha
