This is a bit premature; there is no official build yet of ICS for the Nexus S, and so explaining that it's choppy when running a custom, hacked-together build doesn't really mean anything at all to probably 90% of Nexus S owners.
I'm very interested to see how ICS runs on my Nexus S, but the only real way to see it is to have it come from Google; why else would I have a Nexus S, if it weren't to get updates directly from Google? Running a custom, unsupported ROM is completely awesome but makes for a very poor OS/product review.
And then to suggest that it should run fine 'cause Windows can is ridiculous! You've never seen regular ICS actually run on a Nexus S yet, so stop making statements like "It's slow".
- nuclear_eclipse 15y agoI've been running Koush's builds of ICS on my Nexus S, and I honestly feel like it runs faster than Gingerbread/CM7 did before. The biggest factor is that ICS responds so much more quickly/sensitvely to touch movements than Gingerbread or Honeycomb did, and that goes a very long way to making the entire experience feel smoother and more responsive. Between that and the new interaction features in ICS, I'm never going back to Gingerbread on my phone again, and I'll be flashing ICS on my tablet as soon as someone releases a stable build for it. It really is phenomenally better than previous versions of Android, hands down.
