What's odd is I had to specifically set mine to mount to get it to work, while everyone else seems to have to set it to unmount. Anyone have any clue as to why that would be? Seems odd that the fix to the same problem is the exact opposite of the accepted for me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
I just installed v5 and it's running great thanks for the great work now to flash Dreams theme

2452 Quadrant

942 Smart bench

No OC yet
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
Just out of curiosity, what seems to be the stable OC range for these guys? I haven't heard anything on it yet.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
I'm good as gold on 1.4 ghz :)

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Will I still be able to send picture mail tho?

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
1200 seems to be the norm but i'll try up to 1400 for testing purposes. My Epic ran 1400 with a very modest bump to voltage and it was very stable. I did knock it back to 1200 for the everyday drive to avoid any type of heat issues. I'm looking at my gel case and thinking it sure looks like a good insulator.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Ahhhh. My first Nexus S 4G flash.. Just got it today (Moment - > Epic - > Nexus S 4g) and after a lot of reading (before jumping in and doing something stupid) got it rooted no problem, and got this ROM installed no problem.

Never bothered to wipe anything and it's running like clockwork. Thank you!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MichaelMcEntire:
So far I'be been stable are 1.4. I'be read some don't like it though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
You should thank netarchy for his kernel work :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Is there any way to get the default recovery script back? Either this rom or me messing around with rom manager removed it.. I'd rather be safe and keep it and fastboot CWM back on when I need to install stuff.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
Just pull it from the stock rom if you need it again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Got it back. My original backup had a md5 mismatch. Found how to fix it, restored, reflashed ROM. I'm good to go now. Flashing and rooting isn't so bad on this. A little more manual labor than the Epic but same basic concept.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Couple things. I just went back to stock. I edited the root method linked in the op. It may take a little longer but its fool proof. If you have problems following that method, you may want to rethink rooting :) Also, when coming from stock, a wipe is not required. I wasn't sure whether it would be as I haven't been stock since about an hour after getting it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
That's actually the root method and tutorial I used and it couldn't have been easier. :)

Glad to be off the Epic and over in Nexus Land.. :) Just hope there eventually is some organization with the way the dev section is rolled out.. Although it didn't take long to figure out this is the only ROM right now available for the NS4G.

I honestly don't even have a desire for another ROM.. This one is right up my alley. No dev bloat and fast.. What more could you ask for? :)

Thank you!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Thank you :) Believe it or not, people were having issues with that root method, including myself when I just ran through it again. I couldnt get USB to mount to move SU to the sd. So I did it in such a way that you will not have to rename files or worry about USB storage to mount. It mounted the first time I rooted, would not this time.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
I had that issue with not mounting from CWM also. It was easy to get around.. All I did was.

Unlock, reboot, mount, toss SU on.. Reboot to bootloader, push CWM, flash SU.. Done.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
That is basically the edit :) I have people grab Rom Manger also, so they dont have to rename any files after a reboot.

I want to mention that BuglessBeast dev Peter Alfonso posted a thread here at xda. His work is quality and I recommend using his ROMS rather than this one:) you can find his thread here
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
I guess the logical thing to do, for those of us that dont want the extra crap. is to deodex, zipalign and strip one of his ROMS :D I wont change anything, just pull the extras out as Ive done already, deodex and zipalign, and throw in netarchy kernel and imoseyon init.d stuff's.

* accurate battery wont be in it any more, it will be added back to op as an addon
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
I'm just going to stick with this package you put together.. It works.. Then will sit back and *crosses fingers* hopefully watch the development of the NS4G pick up.. Looking through what's available for the other SNS, I have faith the NS4G will be well taken care off in no time.. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Work your magic
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Damn guys, I feel like a tool :/ I really was trying to help the NS4G owners. Not really knowing what I was doing and just learning on the fly, I hope nobody is upset by that.

That being said, I doedexed and zipaligned petes GRJ22 ROM. Its basically the same as v.5, just with his base. I cant tell a difference in performance or anything else really, but I feel better knowing that its right now :) I will update the OP shortly.

*For all intents and purposes, we will call this version Petes_Stripped :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Can you kill spareparts from it? Battery History force closes the app so it's sort of useless atm. (tried clearing data also) :)

You're doing fine.. If not for you I'd be sitting on a stock rooted ROM. Every phone has to start somewhere. :)

edit: Nevermind I see what you're doing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Damn, I just posted it :/ I didnt know it fc's. I just checked it and it isnt the apk. I only use it to set animations to fast. You can use root explorer and delete it.

Anyway, "This will be the last version here. Its basically v.5, its just Petes base, meaning everything is as it should be. Its deodexed and zipaligned. I added in the imoseyon tweaks, netarchy's .12 cfs kernel, and stripped it, same as before."
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Thanks for getting us started here.. Greatly appreciated! Not bad for a non-developer. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Dude. What are you talking about. You have no reason to feel bad. You had this thing out the day after the phone was released. I would like to thank you for that.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Yea, I suppose I see your point. Its not like I had much if any help here...I feel dumb, not knowing how ghetto what I was sharing was. Glad Pete straightened it out, for sure.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Hmm maybe I spoke too soon?

If someone can confirm I'm getting all sorts of launcher issues.. Sluggish, FC's when trying to move a widget or add one randomly. Restoring your original.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Honestly man, there isnt that much of a difference in the latest and v.5. I zipaligned v.5, the only thing that was probably not "right" was the updater script. Im not having any issues at all with the latest (PETES_STRIPPED)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
I'm also experiencing lag with launcher pro and had a reboot
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Yea, apps seem to lag and then fc. Not sure what would cause that. Im gonna try something real quick.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
What were you doing when your phone rebooted? Unlocking it or??
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Adding a widget. It just rebooted again a few minutes ago. Both times when I'm adding a widget
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
I figured it out, and noticed something else. Is your power control widget messed up?

NVM, a reboot fixed that :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Yep. It was blank until I did a hot boot and its fine now
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
NVM, didnt figure it out :/ I dont know what the deal is with it guys.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
No problem. I went and started from scratch with the other threads files after going back to factory stock. All rooted and same kernel you had in this rom. Good to go now. I like the dev section here so far. Nice helpful folks. Thanks again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Well, that didn't work so well...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] humdrum2009:
Confused

So let me get this straight.

T Mobile

Sprint

AT&T

Verizon will all have a nexus s and share 1 dev forum

Thats just crazy:confused:

There will be mass confusion as if there is not already.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Mikey

What's going on w 5.1 bro? ;)

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
What do you mean? Is something wrong?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Why is it my battery will not charge past 95%...? Anyone know... Irritating.. thx
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
Known bug in Gingerbread. It's physically charging all the way but Gingerbread only shows 95-98% depending on individual phone.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G "Lore"
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Really? Damn that blows lol I just wiped 3x and reflashed lol. Thx anyways. Looks like I will have to do some more research on GB. Didnt know this would happen. Oh well as long as it charges. Question though.. It charges to 100% on stock rom but not rooted... Why? thx again
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Did it come out?? Lol. Hows it going w it?

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
If anyone needs a good wiping of the phone, use this zip.

It will wipe format ur data, system, cache, boot, dalvik. Three times it will wipe it. Its awesome, used it on my evo all the time. :)

http://db.tt/9XCIL9g

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Epic did the same thing on Froyo. Wiping bat stats after fully charged would cure it for a bit but would usually fall back into the 96% full habit.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Its in the op. " try this" ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
LAST question I promise.. I didnt see an OP so im asking... I see "Try This" and a v5.1 zip attached vs the one at bottom v5. Whats the difference in the two? Anything major or minor? Just asking since I dont see a changelog. Thx guys
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Not much different. I need people to try it and tell me if they have any issues...

Im gonna attempt to use petes base again, it doesnt seem to want to work for me though...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
I dont mind testing it out for you. I will flash right now and check it out. Thx
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zikronix:
I still have cauklins...and the edify version and another one...but I wasnt sure the partition structure was the same....so im leary to use them
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Same here, I think I would hold off using that stuff for now...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Im realizing that if you have the screen set to rotate and use launcher pro, this phone doesnt like that too much...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
I use adw ex and it rocks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
I realized launcher pro in general doesn't like this phone much. Felt sluggish and laggy overall compared to how it ran on the Epic. Been using Launcher-X Pro to set up an app launcher widget instead.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
I usually do, was just checking out LP. It doesnt work so well on this phone, IMO.

I figured out why petes base wasnt working :/ Another noob mistake on my part. Im uploading it now, will post in a sec...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mzahiri:
The power control widget is blank on my flash.... I downloaded it twice and wiped both times.

Running V .5.1
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
set it and reboot, it will be fine
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Crap. I just got v5.1 setup. By the way - its running great.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
To be honest, they are exactly the same. You could use either and get the same result, I think. I just wanted to give people the choice to use one based on a legit devs work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Cool. I'll use the non legit devs work:)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
so far v5.1 been working well. Better then v5 since on initial boot power control worked without having to reboot again. Will charge then discharge. Will post pics of times and stats when discharged fully. Also if its ok with DEV I can post SS later with benchmarks or is the DEV going to post? Just trying to help the best I can. Thx again
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Also just a FYI I found an easier way to root the Nexus S 4G. Well I did not create it I just found post. I have seen many ways to root and this is BY FAR the easiest method via adb. Took me 15mins. Only thing that took the longest was downloading the ORIG STOCK firmware and basebands. Enjoy and I hope this is cool with admin that im posting. Thx again and let me know what you think. This also work on the latest 2.3.4 updated they rolled out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078213
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Haha, I linked that root method in the op yesterday. It is very easy. 15 minutes is a long time though :P lol, j/k. ..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
lol thats funny because I didnt even see it. My bad. Also took 15mins cuz its been awhile since I used adb lol. Been from EVO to EPIC one click root mainly. Hero was the last adb I did lol.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Feel free to post any screenshots you would like, I will not be posting any. This is a very basic stock-ish ROM with a few tweaks. The high quads are a result of netarchy's awesome kernel, I cannot take any credit for that :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
I have a question for you guys, Im gonna hijack my own thread :P

I know its already been talked about that the NS4G gets pretty poor signal. That being said, I NEVER have more than 1 bar of service. I just got off the phone with sprint and they told me I have a defective device. I am in an excellent coverage area also. Do any of you ever see more than 1 bar of service???
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zikronix:
its an aosp device. dont let bars dictate your signal. All roms are different on how they translate that....its really in the dbm me and my wife have the same dbm

shes rocking an evo results are this

evo stock sense rom: 5 bars

evo cm7: 3 bars

evo cauklin gb: 4 bars

same dbm every time

my nexus

2-3 bars no matter the rom, same dbm as her evo
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
I dont wanna really get into the argument of it being "aosp". I have my own feelings on that subject, they differ from yours...I mainly want to know if I have a defective device, I NEVER have more than one bar of service. Sprint told me it is defective, I dont want to exchange it though for another piece of crap, I like the one I already have :P
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
I'm good over here I get 3 at home and at work 3-4 n at my ma house 2-3 nvr lower than one...

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Hmmm, so I probably should get a new one...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
One bar here but no bad speeds I think is reporting wrong
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
Im good as well. I usually get 1-2 bars at the house (normal for me) but anywhere else usually 3 or more... Have you asked Sprint to refresh the data on their side? Im a Sprint Tech and I know sometimes that helps right after a PRL update. Works most the time but on stock devices... Just a thought.. But the rom itseld bro is sick and works very well no signal issues for me. It could be possible there is some towers down as well... Happens randomly from time to time. Hope this helps.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zikronix:
well you could always go down to the store and see what the dbm and "meter" read on their device vs yours. do you drop calls.

We know that sprint has done "wacky" **** with the evo (reporting 3g when it was really 1x, etc)

My nexus has 3 bars....right now wifes evo 5 bars...same dbm....the signal strength really tells the story you could also download antennas and see if it identifies the tower your on.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
-86 dbm constant 1 bar
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
-76 dbm and i have 3 bars
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Same here

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
2-3 bars 3g, on 4g where I know there is a great signal I get 1 bar and when I activate wi fi hotspot (tethering) it will kick me to 3g, the second I turn it off it goes back to 4g. Anyone else exp this also?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Yes sprint hotspots no go w 4g at the moment. Its a known thing just w sprint hotspot. If u use wifi tether it will let u tether w 4G on.. Hope that helped :)

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Thanks for all the feedback guys. zikronix, I did exactly what you suggested. The rep at best buy has an evo. He had full bars in the store, his dBm was -76. I had 0-1 bar, my dBm was -96. He activated my new Nexus and checked again, exact same thing. He called Sprint and had tech support on the phone, after a few standard BS trouble shooting refreshes and prl updates, they told him that the issue will be looked into. Anyway, I still got the new Nexus.

* is it bad that I can root this thing from memory :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
Thanks yep thats what I did just wanted to make sure that It wasnt just me, I appreciate the confirmation
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Anyone want transparent CM dialer? Works like a champ and tons of extra features...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mquinn24:
Yes please
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
oh ya! 4 real
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
Would love that. I was looking in the framework files, and I can't for the life of me find where to change the status bar pulldown on this phone. I was going to change it to a semi transparent dark pulldown and I'm just lost now. But the phone dialer would be awesome to have, so let us know when it's up for grabbing. Thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Heres the DIALER

The pulldown is another issue all together. There is a friendly disagreement on how to make it transparent. As soon as someone gets it working, please let me know.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Systemui.apk. Its a hex number instead of a picture and it its almost impossible to recompile so let me know if you figure it out. I kanged a semi working one you can kang it from me but transparency isn't happening so far
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
what xml is it? i can try to get it. I know a trick or two...

*are you doing 10 to decompile? I think system.ui depends on framework-res, could be wrong though...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
Thanks for the dialer. Looks awesome on the phone. Had a question though. Has anyone else experienced quicker battery drain this kernel? I hate to flash the stock kernel because then I will loose my voodoo. Any ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
+1

Awesome!

:)

Picture included.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
The file is inside of layout, status bar tracking you have to run the java -jar apktool if framework-res.apk to manually include the framework then your set but for me it fc after any mod.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
whats the status on a transparent pull down menu? im still on V4 because i do not see a need to update yet. running smooth with great battery life.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
I need help editing the apk that controls it I get force closes every time and I'm not new to editing apks my guess is apktool gingerbread issues I'm trying again today
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
what apk are you trying to mod? i believe it will be a xml you need to edit. i tried to use the UOT kitchen but it won't work. i have my whole phone themed the way i want it minus the transparent menu. why don't you guys get with the devs who have already accomplished this on the gsm roms?

we for sure need more rom options such as sense & miui.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Sense will not happen...

I've reached out to some of the established nexus devs. They seem less than excited to help us.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Ok, I lied. I will post a screen of a quadrant run...I got a new Nexus last night, Best buy hooked me up. VERY glad I did. This is PETES_STRIPPED running the netarchy .12 cfs kernel. My old nexus would have never broke 3000 in a quad, so Im stoked about this. This is at 1.4...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
what do you mean they do not want to help us? i thought i heard they were porting their roms to work on cdma? so much for unity on here! :rolleyes:

i hope i purchased the right phone because all the love seems to be towards the evo, evo3d & evo shift.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Which Dev said he was working on porting GSM rom for us?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] atoy74:
How's battery life on PETES_STRIPPED? Just flashed it and then realized I forgot to ask.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Posted PS_v.3 in the OP. Make sure you guys thank Pete HERE for his contribution to the NS4G community.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
This guy (Trismegistos) said he was going to try to have a version of his rom for the NS4G next week. Here is the link and its one of his last few comments on the thread.

Hey Mikey,

Thanks for the custom ROM and kernel!

My battery indicator maxes at 94 with the accurate batt mod installed - is this expected?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
That is normal for this phone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Yup, its suppose to do that. Extends the life of the battery. In theory anyway :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
If you go into applications, development and check the box to keep screen on while plugged in, it will go higher I do believe. It's some kind of safety thing to keep the battery from overheating I think. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
Looking forward to this. You the man!!!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
yea, I may have jumped the gun on that..sorry. Im still working on it.

I think our non dev is slowly becoming a dev. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zephiK:
Agreed. Flashing the wrong rom with odin definitely causes a brick. Zips. Not so much, its recoverable.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
We need to just make a separate section for 4G ROMS at least... this whole "split the community" thing makes no sense. THEY ARE DIFFERENT PHONES!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
If you don't have storage access, power off the phone, and while connected to the computer via usb, reboot.
