osu!droid stutters very badly if you disable the internal music player (which you'd need to do to play songs with .ogg files)

tap sonic freezes for the first 10 seconds in a song, and then jumps ahead and plays without sound.

touchmix graphics don't line up with the touch detection so you have to tap above the buttons, it's worst in the lower half of the screen.

touchmix fx freezes when you start it, you need to press home and launch it again to unfreeze.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaJunkay:
Am I the only one? I tried so many ROMs, and every single one has same problems

- laggy

- slow

- buggy

- music player lags often

- won't unlock, takes about 3 seconds

- apps are slow

- going through home pages lags

And so many more. I think it's nice Google updated it to JB, but it's either Nexus going old or JB being terrible. I will probably revert to ICS AOKP soon :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:

Re: OP

Im sure its time to wipe like a madman (back up and format SD)

I did this recently, and was so worth it.

There's a bunch of good dev on our ol' phone

I don't get any lag or whatever described in op.

Recent dev on JB roms have been super buttery

Im flashing back and forth from AOKP, CNA, Slim, Paranoid...

..and man all pretty darn smooth,snappy, w- everything working

Im hard pressed to pick a daily driver- all above are very worthy!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaJunkay:
I factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. I have AOKP JB3 + Air Kernel. Yes I tried CM and Paranoid and Stock JB and same problems or similar.

I usually "clean" my SD card, delete folders I don't use every now and then. I will do a full wipe tomorrow.

Fingers crossed, my last chance for JB. Thanks everyone!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avivator:
I had the same issues as you even with full wipes when going from JB ROM to ROM and was seriously considering going back to ICS just because it was unbearable.

However for some reason after updating to CNA 3.6.x my phone's been a lot snappier (could be the any ROM with sprint's OTA added to it) combined with Bedalus it's great.

That's what I recommend Rasbean Rom & Thalamus kernel work like clock work together & always have 140+ MB free ram

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

Try Rasbean Rom & thalamus kernel I've said it so many times on these threads its the fastest & smooth Rom on jellybean I've ever flash
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyn00b:
No, it's not just you...

I wipe between every flash, and every JB ROM I've tried runs like a dog. I recently flashed an old Gingerbread ROM (Bugless Beast) just for the heck of it... and it's SO MUCH faster. The big difference seems to be the amount of RAM available for apps is much higher with Android 2.3 than 4.X.

Also, and I hesitate to even mention this, but I've never noticed ANY performance benefit from running custom kernels. Ever. I know some people swear by them, but it just sounds like "placebo effect" to me. If anybody knows of a JB ROM that actually uses less RAM, let me know and I'll try it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
I plan to upgrade from ICS/AOKP to Slim Bean. Is there any concern of loosing EFS folder ? It happened to me when upgraded a Captivate from ICS to JB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
I have to wonder if this is a case of some folks expecting entirely too much because JB is by far better performing, faster, and snappier than ICS. The thing is though how are you running the phone? Are you cramming it with a bunch of widgets and apps across 6 homescreens and a bunch of other stuff that require running services? Even Gingerbread you had to tread lightly with how much you fed to it or it would start yelling back at you to relax a bit. :)

Remember this is an old phone that by default only has 345MB of RAM or on a custom kernel w/ BIGMEM 396MB of RAM. To put that in perspective of sorts. Would you expect Windows 7 to run smoothly on a desktop w/ a 1GHZ single core Celeron, 512mb on RAM that is shared with an onboard 256mb graphics card? The basics might work rather smooth but start piling on gadgets, additional background services and multitasking it's going to start lagging. Again, even Gingerbread could only handle so much before it would start lagging and redrawing. Even Windows XP would eventually start yelling at you on a system like that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosley:
Totally agree with OP. It sucks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killasmoke:
Yea that's it I'm still on the 9/19 build cuz everything works also I would suggest thalamus kernel that's the one I use & I haven't had any freezing or reboots in about 3 months on any ROM I've used the kernel with but Rasbean ROM is top notch the real McCoy
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yazeldinho:
Format SD?

just for clarification (as I need to do this with slow JB on CM10)...

to format SD, I run Titanium Backup, then backup SD to computer, reboot to recovery, choose format SD, and then reboot, restore Titanium folder from computer, restore from Titanium.

Is that right? Do I need to do anything with partitioning?

Custom kernels are not placebo.

I am not a big benchmark guy but they show improvements over stock. That alone proves it is not just placebo,

But the kernels also include the big mem/high big mem or whatever the heck people call it. Basically the end result is giving the phone around 50+ more mb of useable ram.

Then there is the audio, supercurios voodoo sound work is spectacular. I love the sound so much it is hard to explain.

My only problem with JB was that the phone will run out of battery overnight if the charge was not over 30%, this I find it unacceptable. Everything else worked fine, I removed many System apps so they don't eat too much RAM.

Now, since 1 month+ ago I returned to GPA19 (gingerbread) + Glados kernel (has bigmem) and the phone is flawless and it has 2days battery life (moderate-high use)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
1. Try a kernel with bigmem / high bigmem or whatever buzzwords folks are using.

2. Set background processes to at most 4

3. Install nova launcher. In the settings/labs enable widget image async and widget image cache. Since I mentioned nova I suggest using vertical scrolling as well. Horizontal takes to long to swipe through all the pages and is a waste of time IMHO.

4. Adjust your animation speeds. Ether lower them to .5 or 0 if don't want any. FYI window animation scale less than 1x looses CRT off animation.

Want to stay with stock kernel skip step one obviously.

Jelly bean + nexus s = yes
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexism:
AOKP 4 + AIR have been running great here. I have also used Slim and that runs awesome as well. I come across the "JB is slow on my Nexus" post a few times and can never relate to the poster. Maybe try a custom kernel as stated previously.

One thing re background process limit. I tried switching to 4 but the setting dies not stay after boot. I want trying to fix anything but who couldn't use a little more responsiveness right? Anyone know how to keep this setting from going back to default?

Lags

I have been reading through everyone's comments and replys regarding lags on Nexus S.

I am not a pro user of smart phones and i got confused after reading solutions from different users. Actually I didnt understand anything.:confused:

I am still using the Nexus S, it used to be great when I got the IceCream sanwich update, but now with the Jellybean, alot of lags and errors when trying to download any apps from the store, most of the games i used to play just shut down randomly, the battery life is not like it used to be. The jellybean is great but i am starting to hate it now. Can anyone tell me how can I imporve my phone's preformance in a way that i could be able to understand and implement.

i highly suggest it as the dark theming has also helped with battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wudien:
I have noticed varying lag in all forms on the nexus s, except for stock. Stock is definitely the most crisp and only has a little lag with Google now.

Google now is by far the biggest fail on the nexus as it is a huge resource hog. A light Google search feature should be added.

I suggest getting lbe security master, of which a translated version is here on xda somewhere. It allows you to monitor your resources very well. And it works on JB, don't get the blue LBE as it will boot loop

Currently, black bean 6 has been OK. You can put a picture in your drop down menu, but as I have noticed with LBE, this uses about 10MB more of memory, depending on picture size. This is a lot of extra baggage for a 400MB phone. I still love BB6 however
