[Nexus S General] r_tarandus:
I've never even used Gingerbread.

Back then, I used the beautiful webOS (RIP) until Google released ICS, which was when I jumped ship and bought a Nexus S 4G on Sprint. I'll admit that initially there were some crazy instability and lag issues that frustrated me, but I don't know if I could leave my current setup for anything else. It's fast, smooth, and hardly ever causes any problems.

I'm running AOKP's Milestone 1 with bedalus' Marmite kernel. I also flashed a different PRL so I could get a decent 3G connection. I think AOKP's M1 is the perfect compromise: it doesn't have all the lag that comes along with using 4.2 (it's based off the last official 4.1.2), but you're still able to enjoy some of the latest tech in Android.

Edit: For those wanting to give my setup a go, here is AOKP and here is Marmite.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
really? so weird b/c 4.1 was initially smooth for me but drastically slowed over time... 4.0 was faster for me... and 4.2 is faster than 4.0... do you OC at all?
[Nexus S General] polobunny:
Nope. Can't stand a non stable phone, and mine isn't a good overclocker.

Edit: Oh and don't mix up early JB builds for the Nexus S vs latest 4.1.2. There's a world of difference in terms of stability, usability and overall progress. :)
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
not mixing anything up lol... i always have the latest of whatever ROM/OS version... i meant initially by on first install, after the phone settles and you install all your apps back on there, the phone drastically slows down... the only way i could get it semi-functional on 4.1 was having sync/gps off... the second i turned it on, lag city... 4.2 i can leave everything on with the exact same apps, and it runs beautifully... and if i want and extra boost, turn sync off...

also, for OC'ing, did you try raising voltages at all? mine is terribly unstable if i put it at 1320Mhz with stock voltages... but raised, it gets extremely stable and maybe one random reboot a day... sometimes no reboots ever...
[Nexus S General] Morbid65:
Of course JB is better fast and cool :cyclops:
[Nexus S General] polobunny:
Never had these issues with my phone. Sync is on all the time.

My stability tests are extremely, see ridiculously stringent. Something stable should be able to pass the 500 hours mark uptime. I have other things to do than mess with my phone when I need to make that important call or send that important text message. Or when I need to wake up on time, or get that meeting alert.

Totally goes against my crackflasher side though. It's a hard life I live! :p

I have tried, many times (I have a long overclocking record with computers, starting back to the Pentium 2 ages...) but this phone is definitely no good with anything over stock. It's a shame.
[Nexus S General] jayjay3333:
Nexus S is back to 4.1.2 RasBeanJelly Nov 6 2012 build with Trinity TNS12 JB Alpha12 Build JZ054K

Wow. You think the NS is good on 4.2.1 until you clean install this. I appreciate the developer efforts but...

VERY noticeably faster, zero lag...how a NS should run.

Now that I own a Nexus 4, I know what speed on 4.2.1 (and now 4.2.2) should be. I ran my Nexus S hard, crack flashed, under clocked, over clocked, name it. 4.2 just isn't as good as it should be on a NS, and that's why Google dropped it. I now see why.

You don't need to go to GB. 4.1.2 JB :thumbup:

Yes, I was on MDO a week ago too. So smooth and fast, like in a dream. But games I couldn't play with this Rom so I flashed CM10.

[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
Jellybean is way better!!!! The fastest my phone has ever been was on jellybean. The ROM Rasbean Android 4.1.2 with Thalamus Kernel is the best combo for speed, smooth ui & around 150mb free Ram! Right now thou I'm rocking CM10 stable it gives me the best battery ever better than any 2.3, 4.0 ROM I got screen shots with 5:20 hour of screen on time a few others with 4 hour 4:30 hours. Best 2 Roms IMO Right now Rasbean & CM10 stable!
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
Wow I can't believe how popular this thread has gotten
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
I might be going back to stock 2.3.7 now. What's better than stock...the Google way.
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
For some reason you do get way higher scores on quadrant when on gingerbread vs jellybean it has to do with high io score!
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
Let's all just remember that gingerbread was built for our CPU. Yes every version of android is built for a specific CPU architecture in mind. And that is which ever nexus phone it was released with

AW: Jellybean vs Gingerbread

Back to JB :D i am on HellyBean (4.2.2) and its so much faster then GB! My NS feels like a New device. Super smooth and fast with great battery life ( got 2 days with 1h call 2h screen on time on lots of chats with whatsapp and FB messenger. 3g and sync always on ) and much features.

Im using hellybean again since 2 weeks and it has no slowdowns with 70+ apps installed.

You must try it. Best Rom in my opinion :thumbup:

Devil kernel.

[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
If you want a fast & smooth ROM & Kernel then trust me & download Rasbean Jelly & thalamus kernel that's all you need trust me this combo is smooth as butter & you always have lots of free Ram 140mb+ so phone won't slow down!
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
that^^ ... tho i use Matr1x and OC mine to 1320MHz... either way... much faster than GB...
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
I use to flash Matri1x all the time in 2.3 & 4.0. Since jellybean I only really use 2 Roms which are Rasbean & CM 10 & I don't flash any kernel when I'm in CM & if the ROM is AOSP like Rasbean or stock then the only kernel I flash is thalamus.

I can't over OC thalamus kernel but you don't have to its just fast have you tried it? If you haven't tried it do it with Rasbean & use it for a few days see if you like it. That kernel is rock stable so reliable give it a spin! :thumbup:
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
eh... i don't like kernels that don't give me options... i don't have to OC Matr1x... but i do b/c the option is there... also bln/bld and most importantly for me wheatley/noop (gov/sch) that i always use... most kernels stopped adding those options... i'm a bit picky with kernels lol
[Nexus S General] Krazhil:
AW: Jellybean vs Gingerbread

I was running GB, ICS and JB 4.1&4.2 on my NS.

When I bought my NS some weeks later ICS was released.

I tried A LOT of 4.x ROMs and Kernels and configurations on my device.

I don't want to tell you my whole experience with 4.x, so I will make it short.

OC was NEVER stable on my NS.

I had a lot of annoying lags while typing and sometimes opening the app-browser etc. I tried a lot of different keyboards and launchers.

Now I am running GB (CM 7.2) with franco kernel.

Trust me guys... Android 4.x is NOT made for NS. Since I am using GB I am so happy with my NS like on the day I bought it.

It is so much faster and runs stable with OC (1200MHz ondemand).

I dont have any lags on the keyboard anymore (now using Kii Keyboard).

If you don't believe me:

- Backup your apps

- Backup your ROM

- Flash CM 7.2, newest gapps for GB and franco kernel

- Configure your NS and restore some apps (e.g. WhatsApp if you want to write with your contacts while your are testing GB)

If you dont like it you can restore your backup.

The best part is. You don't have to check every day for new updates. ;)

# edit

That's exactly my experience.
[Nexus S General] xanaviarai:
I run cm10.0.0 and it runs perfectly and flawlessly. No special kernel or anything. Google wrote the good stuff for 4.2.1 for this device and it shows. Gingerbread might snap around but its so dated now.
[Nexus S General] redagunners93:
for me gingerbread it's best
[Nexus S General] anshumandash:
GB is an old story. My preferences - I don't want to live in the past. I am running BB8 - 4.2.2 with stock kernel oc to 1200 and it is liquid smooth. So I have no reason to look back.

[Nexus S General] eexit:
I would totally use GB but without Gmail nor some apps I really need: no way!
[Nexus S General] dark'em:
GB is more RAM friendly for older devices, and the batteri seames about @-3 hours better, but with the way that develpoment is for Nexus S, the new features, it's clear that newer is better!
[Nexus S General] onmyouji:
Just use ICS, you can still use your apps and the performance is a lot better than JB.
[Nexus S General] ej8989:
Performance? It's about 3x more laggy than JB. But can give 2x better battery life. That's why google developed project butter, because ICS was just so laggy and stuttery.
[Nexus S General] eexit:
Last night, I finally ended up flashing the CM10 ROM + Marmite 7.3, installed Greenify and my Nexus S has NEVER been as much responsive (with a 4.x ROM)!

I can easily have 5 to 10 apps open and not a lag...

Really good job!

Thanks everybody for the advices.
[Nexus S General] onmyouji:
Well, my experience is clearly different. I'm running Cyanogenmod 9.1 btw.

My Nexus S is running smoother when playing games, compared to stock 4.1
[Nexus S General] dark'em:
Well sure CM9 eaven beyng ICS is smoother than stock JellyBean, it is hevily optimised, Have you at least tryed a deodex stock, or It was a hurd on google imadge..the comparison between stock and CM is not completly fair, try CM 10 stable (not 10.1) and you will see a slight emprovement over CM9, the battery is a tad worse but pleace do not listen to all those who state ICS is smoother, it's just a placebo effect, try CM10 stable without dirtiflashing and then you will see ;)
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
i posted on another thread, i tried a lot of 4.x roms and cant seem to get those 60fps animations(jelly bean animations). They work sometimes, but many times i get microlag/stutter and i just cant figure out why. The only rom that improves this is latest helly bean with oc@1200. Do you guys get 60fps animations all the time?(for example, opening the mms app)

Hey all,

Having some charging issue with my device that will likely necessitate a replacement device. I've been hesitant to make the move given the quality issues of CLNR with Verizon in the early months of the GNex existence.

For those who have recently received replacements, did you encounter much problem? It seemed like the issues were mainly related to the screen or reception issues. I had my Gnex since day 1 and never had any dropped calls or weak/fluctuating 4G signal. I'm hesitant to give it up!!

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
I just got a replacement 2 weeks ago and mine has been great. No issues at all. But every device is different
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Its probably the charger cable,battery the USB port is broke. I suffered similar issues with a CLN HTC incredible. Try switching batteries cables or adapters. If all else fails take it back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigerhawk1:
I had similar issues with my original galaxy nexus after owning it for 8 months. The replacement they shipped me the ear piece on it didn't work. Sent that one back and the one after it I've had for almost 4 months now with no problems. A lot of it is just random bad luck, if I was you I'd send the old one in and hopefully your luck will hold up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
It might be a good time for a refurb, considering VZW just retired the phone.. Is it possible the remaining Gnex stock was pulled for refurbs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crowmallet:
About two weeks ago I got mine replaced by verizon due to my phone having charging issues as well. I went into the store, didn't call before hand.

I had flashed back to stock before i went in. Told the girl there that it wasnt charging right and i have multiple batteries and they all do the same. she went to look up on some database if others were reporting similar issues (there were none). after giving her my phone number and 5 minutes later she said a replacement is on the way and to mail my old one back in the same box (shipping was paid for)

I was very pleased by how quick and painless it all was. She never touched or looked at my phone at all and asked hardly any questions. my phone also had a chip in the screen (about 2 cm at the bottom right, no cracks though)

the replacement phone had a sticker saying "like new" replacement but it was absolutely pristine. absolutely 100% perfect cosmetically and works great as ever (screen colors seemed better than my original one imo).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl323:
Thanks for the heads up. Went ahead with the replacement. Will wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl323:
Just realiezd there's a scratch on the screen of the device I'm sending back... Any advice on what to do? I don't wanna get burn... I heard that VZW can charge an arm and a leg for returns that have damage...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crowmallet:
Nothing to worry about. Mine also had a chip in the bottom right corner (about 1/4 in long and 1/8 in high) as well as light scratches near the top of the screen. Luckily the chip did not develop a crack, but none-the-less, the lady at the VZW store didnt say anything of it even when i pointed it out, and my return was accepted with no charges incurred.
[HTC One X] jhannbernas:
Hi,

I would just like to ask if the 5 holes at the back of HTC One X have the same holes compare to X+ (size, functionality)?

Anyone has an idea?

This is a deodexed version of the SMS apk from CODIS 1.1.1. I modified nothing in it, I just wanted to have the features it provided with a different, deodexed ROM, so I deodexed it.

It has MMS Compression disabled along with color icon (like a mini version of the actual app's icon) for the notification icon, rather than the default flat one.

You'll need to install this manually, overwriting the current Message+PRIME.apk located in /system/app/ (or optionally renaming the current one with a .bak after the ".apk" and then just pasting the modified one from this post) and make sure permissions are correct. Then, Reboot.

Definitely not a bad idea to wipe cache and davlik, either.

I may make a flashable zip at some point, just thought I'd share this as-is for anyone interested.

Thanks to chingy51o for permission to drop this, and team Mik for a great ROM and the changes for this apk in particular.
