I didn' mean to insult anyone using that rom. If you felt insulted, then I'm sorry. That was not my point. I'm just suprised so many people believe this is the fastest.

Sent from my Nexus S 4.1.2
[Nexus S General] jrkeyboard:
I was impressed with slimbean for the month that I used it... but I just installed rasbean jelly this week, and wow! I tried the trinity kernel with it first, but when I flashed marmite, it's unreal how fast it feels
[Nexus S General] klinker:
No comment :laugh:
[Nexus S General] jayjay3333:
That's why threads like this should be locked. 9/10 times it creates arguments as to why one is better than the other. Nadroid, wipe, flash, try. Repeat

We all like different sh@#....
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
Agreed. There is no per say best combination. I'm surprised this thread hasn't got the axe myself.
[Nexus S General] kurigowa:
Discussion allows us to learn from others and gather opinions. While not scientific, this sort of discussion does have value. Doesn't have to end in a pissing contest. Anyway, I use Rasbean w animations turned on and its still one of the fastest Roms available. Marimite 4.8 was a staple but now I'm running Matrix 23.5. Would run Trinity if it had Voodoo support
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
This would be true. However not searching the forums and adding essentially this thread over and over solves nothing. It just makes for a messy forum and makes it harder to find stuff. I'm not so sure it's as much as a pissing match other then some of us basically saying the same thing over and over again. These thread types should be limited and there is not a BEST combo. Everyone phone runs different and we all use them in a different way. Signals from wifi routers and networks vary. What works for one will not work in the EXACT same way for someone else. Same very in opinion with Rasbean. Your comment is a matter of personal opinion and how you use your phone.
[Nexus S General] Demanufacturer:
we need definitive benchmarking for different iterations of android, so its not all observational

as other people have said, you need to burn in the rom for like a month before you can really comment on where it stays fast.. newly flashed roms are generally fast after the initial bootup
[Nexus S General] jiro-kun:
I find this topic interesting. As i like to flash my rom. I also feel that i want to know what combination others think that works well for them. I feel its refreshing and it gives me idea what to test on my free time and see what works best for me. It's not a contest. And i respect every developer and am thankful for them.

I just don't think that this thread is hurting anybody. Unless somebody came talking bad thing about developer's ROM. If you think its annoying to read people opinion, then just don't click the thread and read it. Easy. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Honestly at this point kernel and ROM development has about peaked on this phone.. There is no definitive "faster" anything.. I've owned the phone since launch and on Gingerbread there was some definitive differences between ROMs and Kernels as developers were still figuring out what made this phone tick and how to milk more `umph' out of it. ICS came along and things were starting to get more refined.. Now that we're deep into Jellybean there is really no huge differences in speed among the current batch of ROMs and kernels. I noticed with JB it got kernel devs to almost put an end to chasing high overclocks and focus more on stock clock performance and battery. This phone has been dissected to death and milked for every last CPU cycle. :) I think the last great thing I've seen is bedalus squeezing some more RAM out of it to bring it up to 407MB of usable RAM.

There are so many placebo things that can make one ROM feel faster than another.. Hell, simply disabling vibrate on touch gives a placebo effect that reaction time is faster, when in reality it's the same.
[Nexus S General] Wafflcopterz:
You're all wrong stock Gingerbread is where it's at.
[Nexus S General] lurtis:
Stock gb was really fast on this phone... Till you try scrolling around or zooming in the browser :P
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
Ha! Forgive me, I was not aware you knew it all.
[Nexus S General] AzN MusiQ:
Rasbeanjelly is the fastest Rom in my opinion, but there aren't many Features. Or are there any Mods because I only miss the Feature "Profile"?

Slim Rom is very smooth but there are too many bugs and I hate the Lockscreen Slider.

So I prefer CM10. Very Smooth, long battery life, no bugs, important features.

Now I use with CM10 the CM-Kernel but I'm on Search. Which Kernel do you prefer to CM10?
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
Right now I do believe Marmite is the only kernel supporting CM10 since they made changes to the kernel system.
[Nexus S General] AzN MusiQ:
Air Kernel too.
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
So they made the jump. Cool. I run Marmite so I knew specifically it did.
[Nexus S General] AzN MusiQ:
Is the Marmite Kernel smooth? Batterylife?
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
It is one of the most talked about. I have ran it with RasBean, Blackbean and now currently SlimBean with success. It is the default kernel in both Slim and now Black. I get about 16 hours with moderate use out of it give or take. I am sure I do not use my phone like yours but give it a try. Most say they like it and it is regularly updated and bedalus is a very helpful dev.
[Nexus S General] qaz2453:
can someone please give me a link to resbean jelly rom please!

i reverted to 4.0.4 coz my phone doesn't like JB and i want to try resbean out :)

[Nexus S General] meeok2:
This thread would be even more helpful if you would list the OTHER ROMs you have tried before you state which ROM you think is best/fastest. That way we know what you have tried and what you are comparing it to.
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
I think we are all flash-a-holics. I've ran just about all the ROMS. When we put what prefer I am sure that is an opinion based on running the other ROMS. You really can't have a big opinion if you haven't tried the others.
[Nexus S General] xzilem:
I'm a flash-a-holic, and rasbean + marmite is my final combo for nexus s. It's fast for me and you should try it too. (with animation both at 1x of course)

Still using rasbean on gnex. .
[Nexus S General] treesurf:
Give Strawberry a try. It's based on Rasbean with a few more optimizations. You'll need to use the CM version of Marmite with it.
[Nexus S General] fiumafrizz:
strawberry rocks!!!!!
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
another rasbean+matrix kernel user here, best combo!
[Nexus S General] xzilem:
Ok sure, i'll try, i already give the ns to my brother after i bought gnex. I'm gonna bug him to flash it.
[Nexus S General] gabidiesel:
Rasbeanjelly + Trinity t11....is the best for me....just a one thing....when is fully charge it shows me only 95%...can i fix it?????????...thanks xda
[Nexus S General] AndroidWolf59:
You can also use Strawberry with CM version of Matr1x kernel ;) Oh, just to speak about ROMs, I've tried stock, CM10 and four days ago I gave Strawberry a chance ...
[Nexus S General] ShadowVlican:
after reading this thread, i'm gonna have to give rasbeanjelly a try

http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=crespo

i wonder if it can handle all the apps i run plus the occasional "magic tree" game (which usually causes AOKP to go haywire, system_server process uses high cpu, needs reboot to fix)
[Nexus S General] bdesja1:
me 24

rasbjelly & trinity

seems like everyone is running rasbjelly or whatever you call it. ME too! I learned about it from this forum, actually, and it seems to work pretty good. i'm running one of the recommended (by the developer) trinity kernels as well. only problem i could report is that recently it's starting to react a little slowly to touches and wake-ups (and the sd card is HELLA slow to read at bootup), so perhaps it's time to do a factory reset or install an update (unless there are other suggestions out there). still, not gonna do that until 4.2 is released and a new ROM winner is crowned in that category.
[Nexus S General] ShadowVlican:
follow up:

rasbeanjelly still fails my "magic tree" test... loading and closing magic tree will eventually cause the system_server process to use high cpu indefinitely unless the phone is restarted
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
I would submit that to the developer. It could be useful.
[Nexus S General] ShadowVlican:
i figure it'd be hard to replicate this problem on other devices... it just so happens that my combination of apps causes this

i've been able to reproduce this with other roms and kernel combinations

the problem does not exist when only magic tree is installed (ie: empty phone)

i have a hunch that it's caused by running out of RAM, causing some system processes to crash, and system processes don't like to restart

Hi,

installed Andromadus JB 107 and everything is working fine, apart from the camera which has disappeared.

I've read in the forum it should be part of gallery.apk. Gallery is working fine but the camera is invisible to me. Pressing the hardware camerma button doesn't activate it either.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
So I read today that TomTom is finally available for "some Android devices". Bizzarrely (and somewhat predictably), it's not available for the highest-profile Android phone on the market (the S3). Why is it that this often seems to happen with new apps - i.e. the S3 (and previously S2) are rarely amongst the first devices to be supported? Are the underlying reasons usually technical, marketing-related, ...??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
It might not be the answer you want, but TomTom is quite over-rated.

The google Maps + Navigation combo has become a very mature product and beats every single similar app I have tested.

Except for the curiosity factor, TomTom offers nothing over what we already have.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
It's the lack of off-line routing (and re-routing) that detracts from Google Maps/Nav - especially when you're paying very expensive data roaming charges....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PR_Grim:
I don't see any TomTom app on market. Can you elaborate

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomtom.ukireland
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketrobot:
I always though TOMTOM was the best, in the UK anyway. Google navigation is fine, but it is a real pain when you have no reception (driving round in a forest for 30 minutes). I thought I would buy it on another device and see what happens when I copy it over using Titanium backup. Trouble is I don't seem to have any compatible devices.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuntu:
Maybe you should try Sygic: GPS Navigation

It supports offline maps too, and works best for me in my country,

And some excerpts from news online

"For its part, TomTom hasn't said why its application doesn't support devices with higher resolutions, but it did reassure users that it's "committed to supporting higher resolutions on an ongoing basis." It's not clear when that will happen, though."
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Yeah Sygic is pretty dang good. It even used TomTom maps and traffic data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Every phone sat nav review i have seen puts Tom Tom on the IPhone4 as the best .

CO Pilot second place .Both of course have onboard maps .

Only negative is Tom Tom supplied Apple the maps for IP5 .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lodger:
Not sure what you mean by sideloading,,,

I dug out my old S2 and downloaded and installed using that, i then did a titanium backup copyed the the backup and the map folder to my S3, restored form backup

and bingo..some some reason it what download the maps again which it did fine

and it runs ok now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futaris:
Yep. Backing up via Titanium Backup and copying the .apk over, etc is a way of sideloading.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketrobot:
Yes! Exactly the same here, I don't understand why they don't release it for the S3 it seems to work perfectly.

Hi Guys,

So I just finished flashing Paranoid Android's latest Jelly Bean ROM.

It boots up fine, everything is fine...Apart from the mobile data not working?!

I don't know if it's not working, or if it is just taking long to load, because I've left it for over 10mins and the Mobile Data symbol still hasn't shown on the taskbar!

If anyone could help, that would be awesome! :D

[HTC One X] icke:
Look at your APN if settings are correct for your provider.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
If you can actually turn the mobile data on, and it says disconnected then its not the ROM. It will be your APN settings.

If the data stays at "Turning On" or you cannot turn it on at all then it is your ROM

If you can turn it on but it says disconnected, just google for your APN settings.

same problem

Hi,

Since 3 days i'm rocking the Slim bean 4.1.2 Custom Rom.

Since i started using it i can't use my mobile data anymore.

I have used tripndroid custom rom up until release 25 with working mobile data.

I have also checked my APN settings but they are the same as on the tripndroid rom.

I have enabled mobile data and data roaming so thats not the issue, in the phone info tab it says under status:

type mobile network: UMTS:3

service status: in use

roaming: no roaming

status mobile network: disconnected

Can u help me figure this out ?

I have been trying out JB roms lately and really them but I have a problem with my camera apps, mainly Camera FV-5 & Camera Pro.

The problem is that they load fine but when looking at the screen the preview of what I am going to take the photo of is only about 2/3 size of the screen and then there is a black border for the rest of the screen, I rely on my camera so I have to be able to see the whole screen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh is it possible to have the Galaxy note 2 gallery in these roms?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redclient:
Galaxy S2 i9100.

Bad chip.

Bad Firmware: Stock 4.0.4 with (Stock) Kernel XWLPT.

Rooted with S2Root+Using SuperSU.

Searched forums, only similar thread is for Galaxy Tab. I'm assuming it's not relevant enough for me to follow it directly.

If possible, explain it like I'm 5:

What is the safest way to install a custom ROM? (Ideally, I want to install CM9 and later CM10 when it is more stable). I've seen people saying to flash Siyah kernel first, then do whatever afterwards. How can I do this? Almost a complete noob here, what buttons do I press in Odin and what procedure do I follow to flash a safe kernel then a custom ROM.

NB: USB is a little buggy, on-device flashing preferred for that reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes,, you need to flash a custom kernel.

1. First post your full ROM details

2. Can you confirm that you have ROOT access?

3. If your USB is buggy, you still flash Siyah kernel using mobile Odin, or the temporary CWM recovery. Root access is needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redclient:
Thanks for the really fast reply.

1. Stock 4.0.4 from samsung; Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023

2. 100% have root access. Running Droidwall (which is working) among other things

3. I'm unsure if it's the phone, USB port or drivers which are buggy.

Is it possible to get a definitive procedure to flashing Siyah with mobile Odin? (presuming it's safe to do so). After that, is it safe to just flash the full CM9 ROM with CWM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
The safest way to avoid the emmc bug is to flash a custom kernel. Like siyah or dorimanx. If you have root access, and CWM, you can install one of them. Do you have CWM? well then follow these steps.

-Download a custom kernel. Eg the .ZIP file of the latest version of siyah kernel for S2 from gokhanmoral's site.

-Store it in your internal SD card on your phone.

-Boot into recovery. ( Vol-up + Home + Power button )

-Go to: install zip from SD -> install zip from internal SD

-select the kernel's zip file

-select 'yes'

Let the phone reboot once your done. You should have a custom kernel and no chance of the emmc bug bricking your phone.

The reason I suggest using CWM rather than Odin, is incase you have a faulty usb port, that might pose a problem while installing via Odin.

Hope this helps.
