[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
I still can't get Spare Parts to report battery history.. this is becoming a big issue for me lately since my battery has gotten so much worse for some reason :(

Tris - any chance you could look in to this please? I don't want to give up this ROM at all :(

Also - I can't find zoom anywhere in the camera app??
[Nexus S Android Development] tanclo:
I am surprised today - my battery is sucked! from 100! to 78% in 2 hours. Minimal use too.

I like this ROM a lot, but ... :-(
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
Agreed, battery life is really my only major issue wit this ROM, everything else is so great!
[Nexus S Android Development] tanclo:
I'm going to flash the Netarchy 1.37-cfs kernel and hope for improvement.
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
Any reports on how this went? I'm at the office and not able to download the kernel for now..
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
I highly recommend all to use Trinity UV11 Kernel, that will be a big battery improvement
[Nexus S Android Development] tanclo:
Not well. Perhaps Trinity is better.. which version should we try? there are Oxygen and CM7 versions right?

SwiftKeyX'd from MIUI-powered Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] buenso80:
You should flash anykernel as oxygen ver. is for oxygen and cm7 ver. is for cm7 ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
With trinity I have problems after boot and reboot. Sometimes background has changed, USB isnt mounted or reboot twice....
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Which kernel version? 180720011 anykernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
Yes. The bootloop I also saw in the trinity thread.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
so guys,

use this: http://t.co/IcFmp1m

it is the latest trinity kernel. i have tested it and no bootloops are sdcard issues. it has realy great batterylife...
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
Your link is trinity 18072011 and with this kernel I had the problems. I just flashed netarchy, was stable here.
[Nexus S Android Development] Mlinarek:
I have loaded Trinity 19072011 and I'm still getting the issues, mainly the sd card will disappear, until I reboot. I haven't noticed a pattern, so am not sure when it exactly disappears.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
try this one:

trinityuv-dlt
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
This is just an addon, isnt it? In the zip is no folder kernel. So I have to flash UV11 and this patch over it?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
No the kernel is the boot.img it is a complete kernel zip :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
O.o.... Booted five times and USB was mounted every time.... after sixth boot my phone turned in bootloop. I had luck to reboot in recovery to flash netarchy....
[Nexus S Android Development] Mlinarek:
I installed this, sd card missing on first reboot, every reboot after that seems to be fine. I'll test this out today and get back to you.
[Nexus S Android Development] Mlinarek:
I have done multiple restarts, and with moderate usage, some gaming, browsing, messaging and listening to music, the sd card has not disappeared.

Also this is the best battery usage I have seen yet on my phone. While idle I hardly lost any battery, usually by midday I'm looking at 30~44% today 63%
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
Since yesterday night I run on Matr1x Kernel. No problems so far, very fast, BLN is working and battery from 92% to 84% after 5 hours. Gtalk, latitude and sync in background.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
with trinity?
[Nexus S Android Development] Mlinarek:
Yes with the Trinity uv kernel link you provided
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
ok , nice it works
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Do you have uv enabled or running default 1.2ghz?
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
Default
[Nexus S Android Development] Mlinarek:
I have gone back to netarchy it is a little more responsive, and Trinity UV crashed when I tried to uninstall a number of apps and then some of my widgets wouldn't load.
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
Ah bummer :( I was thinking about switching to trinity after your last post about better battery life, but stability is definitely more important to me.

All I want from my phone is to last 1 full day under heavy use, is that too much to ask for?? :D
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
On the Nexus S... YES :). Morfic made a Trinity for zulu, let's see how it works. I will post a link to it this evening
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
Looking forward to it, thanks for your continued efforts with this ROM trismegistos!
[Nexus S Android Development] jdevera:
Any update on that special trinity? Would really like to try it out, ROM is mostly stable just that the battery is draining too fast.

Thanks for the hard work

Sent from my nexi S
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
The problem with the Trinity kernel is that mounting sdcard does not work :(. I now tested jame bond for a few days and got the same good battery results as with trinity... Just try it :)
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
What's the default in kernel in this ROM? Lately I'm seeing some random reboots, haven't even changed the kernel yet.. :(

Also - any plans on upgrading to 2.3.5?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
i checked the 2.3.5 commits and there is nothing important committed for the nexus s only for the 4g so i don't think i will merge useless code :).
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
i tested the zulu trinity kernel for a week now and found no issues and great battery life.

if you whant to try it, you can get it here.

TUV11-Zulu-Any-21072011.zip

make sure you delete the /etc/init.d/99nexusinit file before flashing the new kernel if you come from netarchys kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] apogiffa:
I couldn't delete that file (via Astro) but flashed the kernel anyway. Should that be a problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
You must remount the Filesystem rw first? Should be an available option in your filebrowser. Which one are you using?
[Nexus S Android Development] apogiffa:
I'm using the Astro File Manager and I can't find the function there. Under the TUV11-kernel I couldn't access the SD-card, so I flashed my nandroid backup. How exactely can I remount the Filesystem?
[Nexus S Android Development] milesman:
Is there a way to get the stock lock screen animation back to this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] orrman:
Set your windows animation back to normal other than fast in spare parts.. that should solve it.

Great rom, although with the kernel morfic made (uv11) i suffered from random reboots so rolled back to netarchy 1.3.5 (default for zulu 1.3.1)..

Any future updates planned? Its been a while..

Great work thank you!

[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
hi all,

i must tell you that i don not have anymore my nexus s so further development is hard to do for me. since a friend has a nexus s, too i will think about making releases again but i can not promise about that :(

br, thomas
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
What phone do you have now? It was nice having you around though!

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
desire s my nexus is lost....btw perhaps you have a way to tell rootzwiki that there is now a desire s custom rom.. and they could open a desire s section. i tried twice to send an email via the forum but no reaktion on it.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Oh ok, that's no good losing your Nexus. I will have a chat to RootzWiki for you.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Why is RootzWiki so popular all of a sudden?
[Nexus S Android Development] Eizig:
Hi trismegistos,

Just read on the ZuluGen topic that you got a new Nexus S, will you be able to update ZuluZulu as well ?

That would be great !! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
update to what? :). 2.3.5 there are now changes for the normal nexus s...the new kernel i post as sepperate update zip today :)
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
I suggest all to test the newest Zulu-TUV11 Kernel from morfic. (thx a lot Morfic)

TUV11-zulu-12082011.zip
[Nexus S Android Development] milesman:
can you please fix link?

thanks ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
fixed :-).....
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
Hi trismegistos, glad to see you're back!! :)

I've been using zuluzulu 1.3.1 for a while now, but for the last 3 weeks or so I'm seeing random reboots.. the phone just shuts off and reboots at anytime - I could be on a phone call or the phone could just be laying there doing nothing. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I even recently tried switching kernels to Matrix but it made no difference, I'm still getting the random reboots.

Should I try just reflashing the ROM again? Any ideas will be much appreciated, thank you :)
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
In that case you need to raise the voltages lol
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Hmm, you didn't change anything? Are you sure that you are running the default rom kernel as you got random reboots first time? Reboots are mainly because of to less Voltage. You can clear caches first and do a fixpermissons on Top just to be safe :).
[Nexus S Android Development] novagol:
i really like this rom from what i've read in the description and would like to try it out, but the links in the first post for downloading it don't work, also it would be nice if the screenshots would be fixed as well :)
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Dl link fixed
[Nexus S Android Development] digitalsmoke:
I would suggest using a Compact version of the status bar (if possible) to free up more real estate :-). ZULUGEN/ZULUZULU rocks. thanks for all your hard work.
[Nexus S Android Development] novagol:
tnx, i've googled a bit before you fixed it and found (and flashed) the same version posted at rootzwiki. now that you've updated the links here i found out that this xda version is around 0,5mb smaller and the only difference that i've noticed is that the battery icon is the cm7 like, and the one on the rootzwiki has the honeycomb style... i don't know if there's anything else, hope i'm not missing out on something :)

otherwise, awsome rom, just the perfect combo of what i want out of the many choices that are available!

EDIT: also the link that points to the new kernel is also broken in the 1st post, this one posted here works fine however :)
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
I didn't change anything at all really, it just started happening on the default kernel. Then I switched to Matrix and it was still happening. For the last 2 days, I've been on the latest Trinity UV that you posted and so far so good - no reboots yet but I'll wait and watch.

I'll also clear all caches and fix permissions, thanks!

Even with the reboots, this is still by far my favorite ROM :D
[Nexus S Android Development] digitalsmoke:
For some reason I can't get the circular battery mod to work. When I flash it, it still shows the regular vertical bar.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
building new version now without launcherpro and several tweaks for stock launcher...

the themed launcherpro is now donwload able in post 1

new in this version:

- transparent dock

- transparent dialer and contacts

- smoother switching between screens

- simtoolkit included

online in about 2 hours.
[Nexus S Android Development] dan13l:
Sounds great. Will definitely be giving this a go once it's online.
[Nexus S Android Development] bolabola118:
What is that calender widget called in one of your screenshots?

Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
that is the calendar widget which is part of launcherpro paid version. there ist also a facebook, twitter, bookmark and contact widget in launcherpro.
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
Thumbe up :D im waiting the new build
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
i f*cked up the last build. i will fix this tomorrow. the last stable version (09a) is online again.
[Nexus S Android Development] shubu000:
hey just tried the rom

it's very quick as you said, but i think you should make it clear that it doesn't have Gapps on it, it was a little bit of a surprise when i tried it.. nothing i can't recover though, but yeah, maybe make it a little more clear on the first post?
[Nexus S Android Development] ahdee:
Thanks! seems very nice and great job with none current issue!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] fighter_foo:
Ok, it can boot successfully after full wipe.

Perhaps you could include that in your instructions in 1st post?

I installed the gapps from the 1st post via cwm but still gmail and other gapps are not there. Anything i did wrong?

None of my previously install apps are syncing down as well.

Also, will your rom be available via ROM manager?

Thanks a lot for your hardwork.

Cheers :)
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
new build is comming today. including the stocklauncher tweaks, stk.apk and most recent google apps.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Let me know if you get stk working, I've never had much luck with it personally :(

Also, as for ROM Manager, Koush has almost finished his next project which is free hosting for ROM Devs with auto submission to RM to boot :D

[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:

thx for the hint regarding rom manager!
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:

[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:
lol it is... the troubled **** one. its like there already in the stomach but it wont go out :D

sorry to ask you for such stk.apk request :(
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:

netarchy-nexus-1.3.0.9-cfs-2.3.4-universal-signed.zip

for those who wants to flash the 1.3.09 builds of netarchy kernel, take the netarchy-nexus-1.3.0.9-cfs-2.3.4-universal-signed.zip.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ariozo:
Anyone have try or have had with this one on I9023 GRI40?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
yes, myself :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
thanks, already did that!

but however I still don't know what does a custom kernel does as I'm really really new to the Android dev scene.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Just go to uot kitchen and add it to the framework-res.apk.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
try this :)

[Nexus S Android Development] arash64a:
this rom is perfect, but i cant read arabic letters on it :-( !

how can i fix this problem ?

tnx
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Hey i just flashed this rom, Its stuck on the boot animation. Also how's the battery life on this rom??

Update: Installed the Rom, Hung twice, Had reboots and had to do battery pulls. Really loved the Rom but...
[Nexus S Android Development] Erkan75:
Looks like you didn't do a full wipe of your phone before flashing!?
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
I did a full wipe, still got all these problems :(
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Strange, tried to flash an other kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] richrach:
I want to replace the torch app to MIUI torch app.

how can I do it? I can't uninstall your torch..

also the kernel link is down.
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Which other kernel should i flash?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Newest trinity or matrix
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
Hi trismegistos,

Just checking in to see if you were planning on pushing out an update with the latest 2.3.6

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
Will take a look in the changes
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
Thank you!
[Nexus S Android Development] nevarDeath:
Been using 1.2.9 for months on my nexus a and love it! Just rooted and installed 1.3.1 on my wife's nexus and can't believer how fast it is!

My one problem it's when I go to "settings > power widget" on hers, I get an fc everytime. Any ideas on how to fix that?
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
FYI I'm using 1.3.1 and that doesn't happen to me. You might try reflashing the ROM over itself.

I have a few issues on mine though that I can't get rid of:

Random periodic reboots

Hitting the Home button kills LauncherPro and it restarts, this one happens about 50% of the times I hit Home.

Still can't get any battery stats

Despite these, this is still my favorite ROM to date :)
[Nexus S Android Development] apogiffa:
An update would be awesome, this ROM is fast, stable and has great battery life with netarchy kernel 1.3.7.
[Nexus S Android Development] Gold_Bishop:
Agree+

Any chance?

Thanks in advance

GB
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Yeah, update will be appreciated :D
[Nexus S Android Development] the7thson:
+1 from my side :)
[Nexus S Android Development] macanazo:
Don't hold your breath guys. Zulugen hasnt had an update in about 3 months. This is probably dead too. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
[Nexus S Android Development] Gold_Bishop:
Ok. Sad to hear that.

Any suggestion of where to move from here? I liked the simplicity of ZuluZulu.

[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Try oxygen. Its very stable and simple.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
there are several performance tweaks implemented in a custom kernel. also you can overclock the cpu of your phone to make it faster (only do that if you know what you are doing :) and you must set the overclocking with an extra application like setcpu) and most kernels are undervolted, so the phone uses less battery power.
[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:
and dont forget to download voodoo color & sound (improve color and sound as it names tells so :rolleyes:) from the market. those apps only work with a supported custom kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
voodoo control app is included in the release which comes today ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:
super sweet!! :cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
nANDROID-NS-RC-1.0.0 is uploading....

see changelog in the second post for details...

STK.apk is not yet included. after playing arround with some pre-compiled libs, the phone freezes every time...:(..i still try to figure that out oder the weekend.
[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:
no worries with the stk.apk, just take your time boss. appreciate your hard work.

ready to download the RC1.0.0 as soon as it uploaded.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
uploading finished
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
Might not touch overclocking yet though I'm familiar with overclocking a computer but I'll explore my phone slowly.

Is the cpu undervolted in this kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
It doesn't work on the i9023 right? Only limited to the i9020? :(
[Nexus S Android Development] Alexkidd85:
Great!! It's time to backup all then! :P
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
yes it is ..
[Nexus S Android Development] Alexkidd85:
Yes dude, only i9020 (samoled display) :(
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
Hmm, just saw an update for your rom, so i just flash it over 0.9? Do i need to wipe anything?

Ouch, sad thing! so much so for a slcd display :(
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
yes, that is really annoying
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
you do not need a wipe. download the new gaaps in post 1 and flash them right after you flashed the new rom. if you using launcherpro, make a titanium backup of it or re-install it after flashing. launcherpro is not longer part of the rom since rc-1.0.0. and if you are using a custom kernel flash them after you flashed the rom, too
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
hmm, okay. will follow your set of instructions.
[Nexus S Android Development] Alexkidd85:
I mean that i9020 is samoled version and voodoo kernel (voodoo colors) works only on this phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
Flashed and ready to use!

was thinking if i should stick to launcher pro or the default gb launcher, any advices?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
i use launcherpro since a long time. there are more nice customizations in the swipe-screens-animations and the dock and in the pro version i like the widgets.
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
swipe screens animations meaning? i off any forms of animations to conserve battery actually.
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
please check the download link...i cant download 1.0RC:(

edit: ok now :)
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
have to flash kernel before or after first reboot (after rom flash)?
[Nexus S Android Development] dan13l:
I did the rom, Gapps, the kernel all in one instance of recovery. You should be ok to boot, then flash the rom after, but I'd clear your cache if you do that.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Flashed 1.0, new Gapps, Netarchy bfs kernel and everything is running smoothly.

However, I cannot download the PayPal app from the market. I took a look at your build.prop and I think the problem is in there. Many banking apps will not show up if your build fingerprint is not "official"

Perhaps you should consider spoofing it so that all our market apps show up?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
you should FIRST install the rom, after that gapps and kernel..
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
i will check that....
[Nexus S Android Development] dan13l:
That's what I said, ROM, then GAPPS, then Kernel. Or are you saying you'd advise ROM (then boot) then GAPPS and Kernel?

I certainly can't see any adverse effects :)
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
you can flash without reboot. flash the rom and directly the kernel..
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
where is Notification control toggles ?
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
is that this rom does not include the nfc service?? i cant find it at the network setting..:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] Stanlehh:
to be added later i guess.
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
since you can not use it till yet, i decided to implement it in the next release in a few days..
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
nono thats the right way :)
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
noop..i dont use this function :D im curious that it disappear :rolleyes:

THANKS A LOT DUDE:D
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
in a few days...wanted first build the final rc 1 stable release... control widget is next feature
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
i can not add facebook account....

is it only a my problem?

is there Notification control toggles?
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
have you installed the facebook app??
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
of course...from mybackup...

edit: reinstalled from market...all works
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
last thing i did for today is uploaded the ROM including the Custom Kernel. for those how flashed rc-1.0.0 already, no need to wipe again.

for all new users they do not need to flash the kernel sepperatly
[Nexus S Android Development] king23adrianc:
Is there Facebook contact sync??
[Nexus S Android Development] trismegistos:
yes if you install facebook app they get synced
[Nexus S Android Development] Ariozo:
Just flashed this one, been on CM along time and this one is realy sweet and smooth. Great work on this one..
[Nexus S Android Development] king23adrianc:
Is there power control widget on mainscreen?? Just like the one in cm7 which includes data and 3g/2g?
