[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Guys, some basic rom flashing advice:

1. If you are coming from a different rom to what you are about to flash (ie NSCollab to infin1ty or stock to CM7 etc) then you should ALWAYS wipe! Make sure you wipe all data, as well as dalvik cache as wiping data doesn't do that (it does wipe cache however). This is because of the incompatibilities between ROMs with extra additions and settings store in /data.

2. If you are upgrading from one release of the same rom to a newer version, then you can usually get away with not wiping. However if you experience weird issues, first try wiping dalvik cache and regular cache. Although, if you want the cleanest install possible you can do a full wipe (like when you change ROMs).

Certain issues can be caused when restoring apps with backup applications such as Titanium Backup and My Backup. If you do restore apps with these apps, expect things to go wrong quite easily. Do not complain about such issues, as it is not a ROM thing. Support requests for these types of restores will usually be ignored by most devs.

Hope that helps someone :)

I just flashed this ROM and like it so far, but i don't have the gmail app. How do I get that app? Already tried installing the Google apps package...
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Install from market, no GAPPS package includes gmail. Infin1ty includes GAPPS by default anyway...

Guys, major issues ATM! My server has been mucking up, and I need to get things sorted fast.

Downloads are NOT working! My whole site is down. I am having to reinstall everything to my server, which will take time.

If anyone can offer a decent mirror, please contact me ASAP. This is going to require a fair bit of thought to get this all working again :(

Sorry for this, never managed a VPS before and things have gone haywire :mad:

Edit: appears to be fine for the moment, I will monitor it closely and determine what to do next from there. If anyone has experience with this sort of stuff, please let me know, I would love some help and pointers.

[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Hey jonathon, just noticed that my bluetooths mac address changed prior to flashing your ROM. Idk if it's a ROM issue or just my phone. Please look into it. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Mac address would never change, it's most likely the Bluetooth device name that's changing. When flashing infin1ty, upgrade or first time, the update.zip will replace the build.prop in /system which has its own Bluetooth name section (Android by default). That is most likely the cause, not a rom thing.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
I'm pretty sure its not the name. Coz I connect my phone to my car's bluetooth system all the time and it displays the device name and the address at the same time. Now when I connect my phone to my stereo it shows a different address. I was thinking it couldn't be the rom but that's the only thing I did before this happened. I'll try to restart my phone and connect it to my stereo again when I get off work. I'll post the results later. It could just be my phone. :)

[Nexus S Android Development] doug0365:
Thanks so much for that helpful advise! Being my first rom installed on my nexus S is running smooth.. no problems encountered so far!

Also since it seems I have to flash CWM each time I want to use it is it possible to use Rom manager from the android market on my i9020a nexus S?
[Nexus S Android Development] Graham19:
Did you come from stock? I found that when I was on stock the recovery was always replaced. This is a known function and threads can be found elsewhere in this forum regarding how to stop this.

SinceI flashed Infin1ty, my CWM recovery has not been replaced. I think that the script which does the replacement in stock is not in Infin1ty.
[Nexus S Android Development] RtOaNn:
Yup,mine didn't get replaced as well.

Previously, i was on Modaco & my custom recovery remained.
[Nexus S Android Development] lilnev:
why did you switch from jame bond to netarchy?

1.1.0 is the most stable rom to date for me. no reboots whatsoever.

all roms based on cyanogenmod have random reboots for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
For the custom UV ability Netarchy offers :D it's required for my UV app, which is included in 1.2.1.

Not based on CyanogenMod really, only takes 3 main parts of code from it (status bar controls, infin1ty Settings and power menu options).
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Everyone, I have released an overhauled Proton Voltage Control app for use :D

Thread's here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14041107

Make sure you UNINSTALL the infin1ty included version, as my new version has a different release key (don't ask). I will release an update to infin1ty hopefully on the weekend with this by default, as well as new GAPPS.
[Nexus S Android Development] lilnev:
right, hence this is the best rom for me. no random reboots.
[Nexus S Android Development] voyager_s:
After about 5 days of using the rom, I'm happy to say that no real problems to report.

Everything is running great and very very fast and smooth. I think its safe to say now that this is the fastest rom I've had on my nexus so far.

I've flashed pretty much 90 percent of the roms out there. Axura, bionix and GB collab were real favorites of mine and I have to add infin1ty to the list also.

Its def my day to day rom for sure. My compliments to the dev.

On a side note: I'm still experiencing a little issue with voodoo for some reason. As I said in a previous post, whenever Ive done a new nandroid backup or restore I always seem to end up with all my saved voodoo color and sound settings restored to default. Its not a big issue but a little annoying at times. Can't seem to resolve it so far. Its not an issue I've had with any other Rom before.
[Nexus S Android Development] Graham19:
Jonathon: Are there any other changes planned for the next version apart from those mentioned above?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Depends how much time I have. I need to cut back on android stuff for the next 2 weeks because of exams and whatnot.

I should be able to add in appwidgetpicker in a easy way (apk file) , then I can incorporate its code into the compile later.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
When you say you end up with your saved settings, aren't you essentially going back to that backup time? So any settings should still be present? Or have I understood it wrong...

[Nexus S Android Development] sagarpruthi:
Hey jonathon i wanted to know something. i wanted the rom to be less heavy so is there any way to remove the extra languages that i don't need?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I imagine so, have a look around the update.zip under system and see what you can find. If it's easily removable I may build options into infin1ty settings to remove them.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
John is there any chance you would add some extra stuff from CM7 settings like user agent in browser and text re flow when you pinch to zoom? Status color for notification power widget would also be much appreciated, just so it fits to some themes :D

Oh, what about the touchwiz port you were working on? Any eta? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
User agent is already in the browser, text reflow I would like to add when I get the time to. I will look at changing the colour of the indicators, if not user selectable, and then a blue to match infin1ty :)

Touchwhiz port wise, nothing has happened on that front. I really don't have enough time for it at the moment and after seeing what can go wrong with ports sometimes (sense mishap) I don't really want to be responsible for bricked phones.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Amen to that!
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
Nah, it doesn't brick the phone and it can be easily undone by backing up the efs folder from the system. Anyway, this is just precaution, I doubt it would come down to that. I'm still, at least personally, looking forward to it, especially on the hardware accelerated browser and camera app. Take your time and please don't drop the project, more ROMs is always a step further.

Good luck with the exams!
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Just an update:

My server is now back up and running correctly, there should be no more issues :D Thanks for all the mirrors that people provided, it should be fine now.

If anyone needs file hosting, I would be happy to lend some space and bandwidth, I have heaps now and my server should be able to handle it fine :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ahdee:
something weird happened to my phone yesterday about battery. drained so fast that went down from 72% to 26% with 4 hours!

I had my phone with poweramp turned on for music, then camera on for some snapshot. afterwards i kill the cam app and started to play x construct.

I found that the back of the phone specially the area near the camera and flash was getting warm and won't cool down. then I quit playing and tried to find out the issue. the period of time is around 1/2 an hour and the phone kept warm (38-39C) for the time being and i checked the battery usage was mainly on screen. (43%)

anyone got that battery drain problem as well?

I tried a reboot this morning and will see how it goes today.

forgot to mention that this morning I had my phone battery 1st time charged up to 100% full
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Not supposed to charge to 100%
[Nexus S Android Development] BrokenWall:
Please Jonathon please please please get the music controls into this ROM with the volume buttons for skipping tracks and such. So I can finally switch to a stable ROM as a daily driver
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I will when I get the time. Sorry but I'm really quite busy right now, and I don't have the time to find the code for the volume controls. Definitely on the list when exams are done in 2 weeks time.

1.3.0 is almost ready though, it fixes the missing lockscreen sounds and such, and adds in loads of stock OTA files, such as GMail, Voice, Maps (and streetview), loads of stock media like ringtones and the new Proton Voltage Control app.

I will update to 1.3.4 for Netarchy too :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ahdee:
yes thats a weird part as well.....

I charged it thru my PC's USB
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
I charge at night with the AC cord.... in the car with car charger. Always get 97%. That I'd weird.
[Nexus S Android Development] doug0365:
When I was at stock rom I was able to charge to 100% but with the infinity rom it only charges up to 97% I wonder if that is normal
[Nexus S Android Development] Graham19:
I get the same heating up on my i9023. Seems to be when I do something CPU intensive like play some games or watch a video using rock player.

It is nothing to do with this ROM because it happened to me on stock as well.

Never had a problem with battery drain.
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
It's not normal to charge to 100% on Nexus S.
[Nexus S Android Development] ahdee:
Thanks, but i don't have this problem with the same usage/way of using my i9023 with 1.2, 1.1 ver of this rom though.
[Nexus S Android Development] Graham19:
Have you considered an update to the page 1 instructions advising that a backup of /efs should be made before flashing?
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Can do, I will also make a script to automatically back it up upon flashing :)
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
can u add cool 3d transition effects? :P

is possible to install this theme? i love Vivid theme...:D
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
First up to Jonathon. Second not without T Mobile theme engine not on this ROM
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Infin1ty 1.3.0 is almost done :) I had it ready this morning, then have been busy all day and haven't had time to test. Tested it just then, and some things work, others don't. Appwidgetpicker is working, looks great. Updated apps are all good (now includes gmail by default, as well as maps). The only main issue is that I have to sort out scripts to uninstall Proton and reinstall it as I had to change the app release keys.

I tried adding in bash support, but no luck so far. It's missing a few things, it will have to wait.

I have no more time tonight to get this done, and tomorrow I leave at 6:30 and get back mid afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow night I can release if all goes well.

Can you please update the pics of rom in first page?

I am using stock ROM because i like stability but your rom is convincing me to try it but i would like to see some pics with the new features (Notification control toggles for example)

I´ve searched for a video in youtube to see this rom in action but found nothing :(
[Nexus S Android Development] voyager_s:
well....basically all my saved settings for the voodoo color reset to default. Gamma and rgb and profile also. It seems its not just nandroid backups either.

I've confirmed now that the same thing happens whenever I turn off and reboot the handset. Like I said. This never happens with any other Rom.

Usually whenever I flash backups from other Roms or just reboot the handset from other Roms, all my voodoo settings stay as before with no reset.

Kind of strange heh. But like I said. Its no biggie. Was just wondering if anyone else experienced this and a possible solution.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I am uploading 1.3.0 now, except I need to go to bed soon and wont have the time to fully update the posts. I will try and get it done when I wake up.

Changes include the latest proton voltage control, app widget picker, new apps and updates here and there.

Various parts are already updated, including the changelog.txt link on the third post.

Not too long to wait :)

Edit: there's also lots of stock nexus s sounds now, so there are more ringtones etc. Lockscreen sounds also work once again!
[Nexus S Android Development] treUse:
Will you ever reduce the size of the notification control toggles? Or make it customizable, because right now, they're way too big for my liking.

Thanks for an amazing ROM either way :)

[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
There's a huge thunderstorm going around at the moment. We have pulled the power out of our modem and so my upload stopped (old house, no surge protection).

I will upload some time tomorrow :)

I am going to have to cut back almost entirely on infin1ty development for the next 2 weeks with my exams and stuff. After that I can start major works again. Sorry for anyone who wants features right now, but it ain't gonna happen :P I do have a life outside of phone stuff :)

I have plenty of time to fix bugs and add features this afternoon, I'll even aim to get 0.2.0 up if it's error free! Also I am on break in 2 days time so expect more rapid updates then :)

Just to let everyone know too, I will be uploading the source code for infin1y once I hit version 1.0.0, which will be as soon as I get some coding done (ie. Universal volume or FM Radio). That way any development that I do can be utilized in other projects as well, hopefully boosting our dev numbers for the Nexus S.

Updates have been delayed a bit by a little contacts.apk error (something about a menu checkbox tick PNG file not being public :/ ) stopping the compile of the source. Basically I need to wait for it to compile again and then I can test and see how it goes.

I swear errors pop up every time, I guess its all a learning exercise. Will update soon on progress.

Just something that might interest many of you here, I'm also working on porting the leaked 2.3.3 Galaxy S ROM to our Nexus S as a project. This is great news for the features list because I can then easily pull out these features:

FM Radio

'Bounce' at end of screens (will be optional!)

DLNA and TV Out

Extra codecs

Should be interesting to do as well. This is by no means a replacement for infin1ty, I'm doing it for the community and for more features here ;) 0.2.1 should be up today, unless any more major bugs pop up until then (testing right now).
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Uploading 0.2.1 now, several new features and additions, please check Changelog (post 3) for the complete list. Enjoy! Let me know if there are still any more Market issues to be found.

Planned for the next version are:

Ad blocking hosts file

GPS permissions fix

Whatever else I get done in time ;)

Edit: 0.2.1 also enables Google Books and fixes the FC issues with TweetDeck and other apps.

Edit 2: 0.2.1 is now up! Download from http://www.mediafire.com/?85iqswb1b31a3cv checksums in Changelog (3rd post)

Edit,

Oh, awesome :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Hows 0.2.1 going for everyone? No issues? Any more FC on particular apps like before? Opinions on the graphics :)

I will definitely have a new update with an ad blocking host file by Saturday, and tomorrow is the last day before my break so I can work on more things. If I can figure out how to fix the GPS permissions I'll include that too, its puzzling me.

Just a question for everyone, a concept of mine from a few months ago had a line battery bar in the status bar, similar in a way to what I have since found out is in MIUI. Basically the whole width of the screen is the meter and full is 100%, half is 50% etc. I quite like it personally, should I build my own and add it as an option to settings somewhere?
