I'm still on EuroSkank 10/12 using my script in this thread, Devil kernel, as I can't flash new Roms right now... I have a couple apps disabled, like CM updater, permissions set not to wake my device and when I'm not using 3g/WiFi ect.. I turn them off... Since I'm on vacation, I am on light usage, using only occasional web searches, this forum and Facebook and playing videos for my daughter to keep her calm.. As soon as I used it for navigation and left 3g on, it dropped back down to around 16-19 hrs between charges.. Still no lags, no major bugs.. Still fast and fluid.. I'm also using dalvik...

The new CM based Roms are already optimized so the kk version of the script isn't necessary.. It does help battery life and in the security menu you can set app permissions not to wake your device.. Remember that battery life is horrible on a fresh flash and takes a couple charge cycles to really see how it is..

So are you all guys ready? Setting.Out is near to make his comeback from far far away (it last a week more or less) .. and out there December '13 was really prolific month for beloved NS with a lot of new ROMs and builds.
Remember, you was awared to be prepared. Another great battle against the gloom and blackness is going to be fought!

I land on the 17th sunburnt and smiling, maybe a bit frazzled from 24 hrs stuck on a plane with a cranky 1yr old.. So I will be flashing very soon...

What happened?.. I go on vacation, already dreading just not being able to flash the ROM updates.. Then a rift in the fabric of space and time reveals four new kitkat roms, three that are are totally new to crespo... I am impatiently waiting.. But what to flash first??

"Is my old phone any less Android?
If you drop it, does its screen not crack?
If you tweak it does it not speed up?
If you drain the battery does it not die?
And if you speak of Apple shall we not revenge?"
Our dearly beloved Nexus S's need our help.
It is up to us to better them by mods, tweaks and custom roms!
New phones are the enemy, and we are losing more and more Nexus S users to this temptress..
There is no "best" solution to this problem, so I have a chart to compare roms to better help you to find your "own" solution.
CLICK HERE
We are allowed our opinions,
but XDA doesn't want us to make statements about what is "best"..
Remember to respect XDA and anyone that posts on here.
So the challenge of this thread is to discuss your phone, rom, mod, tweak and anything else without using: BEST / FASTEST or BETTER / FASTER when comparing roms, mods, tweaks, ect...
If you try a rom,kernel,app,mod,tweak, please give your experience with it.
START WITH IT'S NAME AND DEVELOPER (LINKS ARE ALSO WELCOMED)
1. Performance
2. Battery life
3. Bugs or other issues
4. Favorite feature(s)
5. How you had it set up (cpu speeds, ect..)
6. Feel free to add any other relevant information
7. Would you recommend it
Try to only note the: key features, bennifits, problems, solutions, ect.. and not how your phone is now more awesome than mine, because it just isn't.. lol..
GOOD LUCK
( We will se how long this thread lasts until they shut it down?... lol )
And remember, that these are opinions, be curtious, use the thanks button and ALWAYS thank your developers.19Pet Project(s)
I have a tweak package that is a combination of just stuff I found and edited and put together..
I sampled from:
FlyonMod,
Pure Performance,
Operation KillJoy,
Codename LightningBolt,
rPx Ultimate Edition
Fluid Engine
Possibly something else shiny???
This is a combination of init.d and build.prop mods...
Flash in any recovery ( after system has booted at least once) Not compatible with other mods, though Seeder / Crossbreeder may work.. Nothing to turn on / No codes to type.. Just sit back and enjoy!
This is for 4.x.x and 4.4.x roms, it may work on others, you tell me..
KitKat version has modified bionic files and isn't recommended for other roms
**Improved scrolling smoothness
**Better general responsiveness
**Battery improvement
**Internet improvements
Possibly cures cancer (further testing is still needed on the cancer research)
As always, this is not my work, do not complain to the original developers about problems!!
This is a highly modified version of the original design, is in beta, it has been tested, but may have flaws..
Flash at your own risk!!
I am not responcible for any issues that you or your phone have due to flashing this, nor for world hunger..
ENJOY!!

Here is a list of links to "must have" files for your phone or computer.
It includes programs, kernels, mods and apks...
I welcome suggestions on what to add..
-here- (this is all the files I had on my computer at the time I created this link for the NEXUS S, please enjoy)
-here- (this is a init. script that will automatically kill the media server saving battery, but not affecting your ability to use media)
-here- (Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit, for rooting/unlocking/flashing/fixing your phone)
-here- (flashing this will allow you to flash AOSP type kernels on CM roms)
-here- (flashing this will allow you to flash CM type kernels on AOSP roms)
-here- (this is an alternative radio for i9023 boosting some signal strength)
-here- (this .apk is for the latest flash player allowing you to use flash content on the web, may not work for KitKat..)
-here- (this is an .apk for MI file explorer, it not only can check files on your phone, but also cloud providers!!)
-here- (this is a patch for your bionic libs, reported working in 4.3, but is for 4.4 roms for much needed speed increases)
-here- (this is a link to Greenify, it is an apk that hibernates apps for more free ram)
I am not responcible for any issues that you or your phone have due to flashing /installing these, nor for world hunger!
Better Battery Life Tips :
Disable GPS, 3G, Wifi, Sync when not in use
Disable auto sync of Google and / or other accounts
Set brightness level to automatic or minimum
Disable auto rotation
Close / disable useless background apps
Don't over clock your CPU
*Also try Greenify from the app store, for more free ram and battery saving*

I have uploaded all the files for the Nexus S I had left on my computer for you to use, explore and enjoy..

I added a link to the "MUST HAVES" section of the OP8KitKat Kernels
So, KitKat doesn't have many kernel options, but here are a few links and how to install them..
Bedalus Marmite (9.0) (AOSP) (flashable zip) You could also use 9.1, but it lacks selinux...
-here-
Bedalus Marmite (9.0) (CM) (flashable zip) You could also use 9.1, but it lacks selinux...
-here-
DerTeufel1980 Devil (CM) (flashable zip)
-here-
Cyanogenmod (CM) (boot.img)
-here-
Cn.fyodor (AOSP) (boot.img)
-here-
Slim (AOSP) (boot.img)
-here-
Pacorrop (AOSP) (boot.img)
-here-
AOSP and CM based roms may have issues when installing wrong kernel types, if you have major lags, you probably didn't use the correct kernel type and need to flash the CM or AOSP zip in the above "MUST HAVES" section.. Also doing a wipe on dalvik and cache is a good idea to avoid any bugs..
(flashable zip) instructions on how to install..
Put zip in sdcard.
Reboot to recovery
Flash zip
Reboot and enjoy!!
(boot.img) instructions on how to install..
Put boot.img in sdcard.
Open Terminal Emulator, then type..
su
(enter)
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
(enter)
reboot and enjoy!!
