The verizon one has kinda crappy battery life, other than that it is an amazing phone. Which HTC phone did you come from?

You're in the wrong forum. This is the nexus s forum not the galaxy nexus.
But hello anyways. And good bye. Enjoy your phone.

I was just about to say that until I saw your post..
but either way, welcome to the nexus family. I think after I'm done with my nexus I'll be switching to htc. They're phones appeal me; but i will never throw my nexus away

Hi guys, I'm kind of new to Nexus S too.
I have it for a while now, but I'd like to get some feedback on the best ROM's, because I installed the [JB] TSM update 6 the other day and even though I'm very pleased with how fast it is the battery life isn't that awesome..
What JB ROM do you guys use on your nexus, and how is the battery and performance of it?
Thanks in advance!

I am trying Rasbean Jelly at the moment, so far I'm enjoying the speed .
Thanks!

Also to OP, I acknowledge I am very bias, but enjoy the Sense-free interface.

So far I'm very pleased with Rasbean Jelly. My question to you now is:
Which Launcher do you use?
I want to be able to change themes and stuff, but overall I really like the default ICS/JB Launcher. What do you suggest?
Thanks in advance.

You should try Nova Launcher, that's the one I've been using for a while. It has the stock ICS/Jellybean launcher.

It's all depend on taste, there are lots of good launchers like Apex, Nova and Holo. I prefer Holo Launcher as it is one of the lightest and fastest.
-If you are using a CM10 based rom, you can also download CM9 and CM10 themes from the Play Store, check out some from thomassafca, they cost money* but they are well made and get updates. There is a CM10 Sense theme too. Note: each time switching between these themes, you might need to set back to system theme and reboot.
-MiUi rom also have many quality themes downloadable within the rom, it tends to be the best looking rom.
-Go Launcher have themes as well.
-A.I. Type Keyboard have excellent iPhone and Windows keyboard skin you might want to look at.
-You can also check the Nexus S Themes and Apps section.

Thank you guys, I'm going to test both of them and see which one suits me better .
I've been noticing another issue, that kind of bothers me: The phone is charging for alot of time now, and the battery indicator doesn't get up to 100%. I know this usually happens when the battery isn't calibrated, but I've already went back to CWM to Wipe the Battery Stats and even downloaded an app from the market to do so, and it still didn't work. My previous phone was a ZTE Blade and every time I flashed a ROM and wiped the stats it would become perfect, with the device indicating the battery at 100%.
What am I doing wrong here, or what do I need to do?
Cheers!

It normally takes a day or two for the battery to settle in and to fully charge @100% whenever I flash a new ROM.
Or change kernels .... that's helps also.
And to answer ur first question... I'm using:
SlimBean ROM with stable Air Kernel. Its has an all day battery life without issues.
good luck

I didn't know that, and I've just remembered that I flashed a new kernel for the first time, so that must have something to do with it . Thanks mate!
Cheers for all the help

What rom are you on?
I've had this on my stock jellybean rom before. But after switching to a rom with BLX installed you can change the percentage to how much the phone can be charged. The percentage cap at ~97% is made so the battery does not wear out faster.

I'm using Rasbean Jelly, with Trinity Kernel. It does make sense that the battery doesn't get charged to 100%,but that ability to reset the "new 100%" is something I'd like to to do.
How can I change that with this ROM?
Thanks

[Q] CM camera quality and battery life

I have a Galaxy s4 (lte internacional) and i flashed CM last week and have been enjoyin it so far. I have only two concerns about the ROM, first is the battery life, i have found it to be somewhat worse than TW`s, how can i solve it? The camera is the biggest concern I have, i have found it to be worse, what do you guys think? is it really worse? is there a way to solve it?
Are these problems normal in CM?
Sorry for the bad english, im not from US

What version of CM are you on?
To be honest the TW camera is the only reason I still use TW based roms, I feel that it's undoubtedly better.

Unfortunately no The TW camera needs the TW framework to operate...it hasn't even been successfully ported to GE roms yet.

I've never done anything with apps/porting before. But... Any idea if it would be possible to edit the tw camera enough that it still works and and has the same functions but change enough that it will work as a 3rd party app?

Since I did not see a thread for the us nor do I see a development thread I thought I would let you guys know that M1 is released for us.

Happy flashing!

Tried the 6-12 nightly and find that the USB-OTG is not working.

Just personal preference. CM offers minor tweaks that are not available in Stock for some reason. Why don't they have a battery % is beyond my understanding.

battery % is very small reason to jump right now, im fine with battery % under quick settings. I don't find it useful when you have a 4.000mAh battery but that's just a personal preference as you said.

Here are some other things I appreciate in CM versus stock:
Custom tiles with touch and hold functionality
Expanded desktop
Configurable LED notifications
Advanced Power Menu
New Lock Screen options
Built in updater for nightlies

Flashed it on my N7 and N4 and it's stable. I noticed one minor but, it didn't restore my WiFi and wallpaper and start auto downloading apps after I logged in. Someone said that's because of the 0 day PA gapps I used. I've used the same one before and didn't have the issue so I'm not sure who's at fault here.
Haven't noticed any other bugs. No random reboots/app crashes, phone breaking bugs. I love it for all the tiny features. Hold vol buttons to forward, quick toggles, reboot menu etc.

You can get most of that by using xposed and still run stock with nexus updates. I understand running cm on a device that does not get updates like a nexus.

Yeah, but waiting for Google to bug fix anything can take weeks if not months, with CM it can get done within hours/days.

I am using this and and seems great. Haven't had any issues at all other than the exact same MX Player issues that I was having on stock.

As far as i remember CM11 had to be ironed out and not the official rom. In the beggining video playback was broken, then notification bar was flickering then wifi didn't work for some. Look at CM thread in other forums, 137 pages for CM11 in i9100 forum and only 12 pages in Nexus 7 forums. When people starts to feel bored with stock then they will jump to CM11 until PA comes out and then everybody will jump to PA:silly:

Camera is really slow

Hi. Has anyone experienced really slow camera performance with S3 Neo? Like you pressing shutter button in camera app and image is actually being taken 3-8 seconds after that?
I got this issue on CM12 and CM12.1, didn't tried other ROMs yet. I've tried different camera apps, Google Camera, OpenCamera and CM stock one. Each of those apps seems to be affected the same way. It works a bit better after reboot and cleaning camera app cache but I can't do that often. If someone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate. Thanks.
PS: I've tried camera fix from this forum but probably it's for some other issue as my camera stopped worked completely after applying fix and I had to re-flash ROM.

Camera fix is for devices that have a different camera sensor (there are two). So that's indeed not the right file. As for the camera speed, I'm not really sure. Mine is also really slow (cm12,1). I've come to live with it because i rarely use my camera anyway. I've tested some touchwiz based roms, and the camera was faster on those :/

OK, it seems like we're getting somewhere. Could it be CM issue? Maybe some other CM users can write a word about their camera app speed? I really like CM though, stock ROMs are overloaded with tons of software that is never used.

Nikola's CM have some issues with camera timing, and Motion based roms have laggy camera performance
Better to go with stock, because it uses the camera at the maximum performance.

Thanks! I'm currently testing CM based '[ROM][Stable][5.1.1][December 31]Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 - Final version' and it looks better. Need more testing though. Stock is too awful to use, I'd better live with slow camera, but maybe there's a solution.

Nope, Resurrection Remix is slow either, CM's curse. OK, I got it - fast camera OR fast ROM, no exceptions. Too bad, maybe CM13 will fix this?

Camera Quality is Poor
S3 original is better than this..

I've found 'lite' version of original firmware made by guys from 4PDA (link to original thread, sorry it's in russian).
It's 500 MB in archive and almost all Samsung stuff has been removed, so it's as clean and fast as possible. Camera works fine. In case someone else may need it, here's direct link.
Please note that I'm not the author of this firmware, not related to him in any way and not responsible for your flashing experience.

DELETED

I've tried it for two days, it's actually good but it has some minor bugs like the vibration strength too low (for system keys or the keyboard) and the screen rotation always enabled on the lock screen and recents panel, details that will bothers you after a while (at least in my case), but overall it's a good ROM.

PA is super smooth when comparing to other ROM, I can notice it when rotate the phone

Using PA about 2 weeks. So smooth. No problem with rotation. Playing PUBG and Mobile Legend is fine. Batery also fine.

Same here.
Using 1 week now.
Extreme smooth.
Good battery.
Gcams working.
FBE and old cam.
Just very few customisations.
