It requires a new version of CWM to be compiled for the Nexus S 4G.

Being that the NS4G and NS doesn't have /efs listed in recovery.fstab this has nothing to do with our phones.

Actually I don't see "/efs" on anyone's fstab (which is used to build the format menu from) so this doesn't really effect ANY device.

That function btw is only for displaying what devices should be in the format menu. It doesn't effect any other operation of CWM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
Not that it's a huge deal, but does anyone know a way to get ROM Manager to recognize that i have a ns4G instead of nexus s? I've tried reinstalling and a combo of other methods.. I'm using premium fwiw. But ya, when i check for updates, or Download, it only shows the nexus s nightlies.

. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
Well for some reason there is an int for safe to format locations and the /efs folder which we have on our phones has been added to the list in that commit. Maybe it obeys these locations when flashing from recovery? So in case your zip file tries to flash over the /efs folder it will prevent it from doing so. Just my guess.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] nemith:
Try clearing your cache (hit menu in RomManager). I get the NS4G nightlies (latest build #16) and not NS.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] nemith:
Well I've actually read the code and also contributed to exactly that section (I wrote the sysprop reading stuff so I could add /boot to that list for the nook color). So instead of just guessing I know that this infact does nothing as of right now.

Possibly that patch author is intending on adding code to backup /efs in which case /efs would need to be added to recovery.fstab and this patch would become valid but as of right now it does nothing.

That function is only to build the format menu (storage and mounts) and nothing more.

strongbad:recovery bbennett$ grep -Rn is_safe_to_format *
extendedcommands.c:499:int is_safe_to_format(char* name)
extendedcommands.c:554:	if (is_safe_to_format(v->mount_point)) {
extendedcommands.c:560:	else if (strcmp("ramdisk", v->fs_type) != 0 && strcmp("mtd", v->fs_type) == 0 && is_safe_to_format(v->mount_point))

Lines 554 and 560 are part of a for loop that iterates over all the mounted volumes to build the mount and format menus. It's in function show_partition_menu. Thats the only place safe_to_format is used (and it's only intention)

If you doubt me you can look into the code as well and prove it. Other wise you are really just making stuff up.

Shouldi prank call for buddy
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
Ya, I had tried that before-- but no avail. odd. However, I just the data/data/(rom manager..) databases folder, pulled out the settings.db, and modified my 'device' to say 'crespo4g' (said crespo before). Now it seems to be working.

lol.. and now I'm downloading it to flash manually anyway, because I like more control.. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
So is it safe to wipe dav cache?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jdh10475:
Yeah I'm having the same problem tried clearing cash re-installing etc etc still getting the update for the NS which is like update 99.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
lemme know if u want me to walk u through it.. it only took a couple of mins.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sh4nk:
Thia is probably the wrong thread to post this, so I'm sorry. But I tried the search with no help finding it. I'm looking for cyangenmod 7 for the ns4g, and not for tmobile, but for my sprint ns4g. Thanks for the help guys! As I really want to try it out to see how it runs with it overclocked and see battery life and what all cam be done with it vs stock rom for sprint rooted ns4g.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
Well your in the right thread buddy. :) Go to post one and read. There is a linky to CM7 for the 4G.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] nemith:
See the OP. This is the whole point of this thread is official CM7 for the crespo4g.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sh4nk:
Is it worth it to flasg it from stock rom? Just want to know what I can do vs what I can do on the stock rom. I've only flashed aloysious on my hero long ago...so don't am a n00b to how different roms work...but I know how to flash them just fine lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] digitalslacker:
I had that issue, i just reflashed CWR from within rom manager and it gave me an option to install cwr for Nexus S or Nexus S 4G.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
My advice is to get a spell checker and slow down. I have very little to no idea wtf you are trying to say. lol :) Anyhoo, welcome to the NS4G.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ehac1680:
Just an FYI... another option is to go into Manage Applications and Clear Data on Rom Manager!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
Trust me.. I tried it all :) clearing cache that way, within the application, clearing data thru native and titanium, reinstalling, performing a raindance.. etc etc. Anyway, the replacement database file trick is working fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ehac1680:
Strange! I tried it twice to make sure before I posted. I guess I did fail to mention that I had to flash recovery again before it asked me to choose my phone again.

Oh well at least you got it working.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
No I have no reason to doubt you. I was in fact guessing as I simply glanced at the change. But I'm glad you got the details.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
Did anyone notice a strange behavior with the home key? There are times when it gets stuck and no keys can be pushed for 3 to 5 seconds. It is dimmed for that time while the other keys are of their normal backlight. I'm using Netarchy's universal cfs stable with the BLN app. Something tells me that has something to do with it. Just wondering if anyone else had this experience.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sh4nk:
I was curious what I can do with this rom vs the stock rom. I checked the first page and didn't see anything about features. Just stuff that's changed in the change log. I saw a link for the tmobile version, but not for the 4g. I also checked out the different links and they either try to DL or take me to websites that don't list the features to aid in me want to flash it over the stock rom. I've only flashed one rom before and that was on my hero long ago. Sorry for the n00bness, but I don't see a 4g link, or a 4g link showing what features of the rom. I went to cyanogenmod main site and even there there's only 6 features listed, and I know theres more than that, like the ns4g being faster and other features...I just want to know what I'm missing by not DLing it...and why I should flash it over the stock rom. Help with the 4g link and/or help explaining in general? Because if I'm overlooking the link I'm sorry, I just don't see it or any info I need in the OP.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
A quick google search would have told you this... on the very first link nonetheless

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=What_is_CyanogenMod
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sh4nk:
Ya when I did a google search this thread came up. I appreciate the link tho. So there's camera enhancements, does that mean I can finally zoom while using the camera since you can't on the stock? But it doesn't talk about things such as the kernal to overclock and other features I'm sure people are curious about, plus I've no idea which to DL in OP, that is if I can get all the info needed to make an informed decision ya know?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sh4nk:
Nm I see which to use to DL "latest nightly". But still no info on kernal and other important things.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
On nightly 16 and still my phone will end up in a bootloop with a very dark screen, requiring a battery pull. This happens about once a day.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Not happening to me, maybe an app you have installed is crashing? Do you have an error log?

Btw, the newer builds have a custom kernel, and cannot use netarchy, correct?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
I can't think of an app that would be doing that. Never messed with an error log.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
I think u misunderstood-- error log or a logcat might help in seeing what happened to cause the crash. And if an app was causing a problem, it might not be apparent to you. But yes, I get this occasionally too.

I'm on nightly 16 with netarchy kernel still, and working fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Hmm, I am too, and I've tried flashing the latest CFS and BFS kernels, universal versions, and after flashing, my phone gets stuck at the startup screen (Google with unlock icon)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Just installed #17 (yes I waited up lol) all seems to be working well, no issues or force closes. Is there anyway to get the smartass governor in here?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dgaf98:
Anyone having a problem updating profile or prl? If so is there a fix?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] housry23:
Yes by flashing a custom kernel like Netarchy's.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Sorry what I meant was adding it into the stock kernel. Just flashed my friends phone to cm7 and he has it available
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
the stock kernel doesn't have smart ass in it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
This hasn't been working for me in the stock ROM either... I'm really hoping this didn't mess something up on our phones.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
I'm a little disappointed that there are still no pictures of cats in post #2. Can we please get this fixed.

Thanks. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
I can confirm prl does not want to update on mine ether. I'm not sure if this is sprint or the latest nightly. I was able to update just fine before.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Gotta be sprint. Ive been running the same build for almost a week and could update before. Cant update today.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
I'm aware of that, but what I want to know is why some phones stock kernel (such as my friends ascend I just did yesterday) DOES infact has the smartass governor in it. Is it something that can be added in a future nightly or something to that effect
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mbh87:
Is that phone officially supported by CM? If not then the person working on it probably just tossed in a modded kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Ahh good question and valid point.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
The prl thing, I went through already. I think when I formatted/partitioned through recovery it must have erased a required file. I sent it back in for another and stayed away from that option now. The wimax was fine though. I hope yours is fixable or this is indeed a Sprint thing, good luck.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
I just restored a stock backup and it updates fine. I notice when I try to update now on CM it doesnt even seem to connect. On stock I get full bars updating(airave). I swear I just updated profile and prl on the build Ive been running a day or 2 ago. Either way, I am able to update profile and prl on stock rom.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sunder74:
First of all I did a full wipe and am running the included kernel.

Anyone else experience any random incall audio issues? On occasion during a call I can't hear the person on the other end. Its random and not frequent. Its not a service related/dropped call issue.

That being said its hard to duplicate for the purpose of getting a logcat for debugging and assessment. Just thought I would see if anyone else experienced this.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
That is good that you got it working, I was stupid and erased my backup. I am still on 14 and the prls and profiles do update.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
I think the build im actually running is like 10 or 11ish. But I tried in several different locations and updates would not work. I restored stock backup and updated first try.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
I just restored from 14 to 10 and the prl update works fine. I'm going to flash the next one and narrow it down where it took a dump.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Yea, like I said, I was able to update with this build a day or 2 ago, not today for some reason. Its probably the same as 10 or 11
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
#13 is ok too. Got a successful PRL update on it. So #14 is where something went wrong. I'm going to try the latest. If #17 can't do it I'm reverting back to #13.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
no reason not too. until the 4g toggle gets fixed, nothing worth updating everyday, imo.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
#17 updates PRL fine :)

Some update must have fixed it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
I can update my prl on 17. No issues
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Just to add in as well... PRL update fine for me on #17 as well
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
lol, i bet it was sprint :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
I wouldn't doubt it... I've had issues on stock roms (Even on my moment and my epic) with the PRL failing to update
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
Hehe... anyone feels like flashing back and checking lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
Well in my case stock didn't even work but that was a few weeks ago.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
All the more reason I believe more and more that it is something to do w/ sprint and less to do w/ a particular rom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
I agree. The sprint gurus didn't have a clue, so I swapped.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
I still can't update my profile or prl. Hopefully on Tuesday I will have time to go to sprint and get them to fix it, but I'm getting pretty pissed off. And yes, it still doesn't work on the stock rom...

At least with the latest nightly it is letting me flash custom kernels again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DirtyShroomz:
home button doesnt work :confused:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Device keeps powering off and cant boot with power button. I have to pull battery, then reboot. Running nightly #17 and net's 1.3.4 cfs. Going back to nightly #15
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
Which governor and what's ur over/under clocking?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
Any moment now.. with the next nightly I'm going to use net's kernel over this stock kernel.smh
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
I had that happen this morning after flashing last night. I'm using the stock kernel though, so I don't think thats the issue ... maybe #18 will remedy
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Been running ondemand gov with custom profiles...screen off 400/400, battery 100% 1300/400, battery 50% 1200/400, battery 25% 1000/400. Been running these settings since first nightly and #17 was the first build with issues.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Not just me then. Hopefully next build is more stable.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] decalex:
personally, I'd try taking off the custom profiles to see if that makes a diff. are u using setcpu?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
18 is up
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Been running these settings since first build with no issues until #17. Also had similar settings onmy Evo for a long time with no issues. NYYFan325 had same thing happen on stock kernel...so I don't think it's my settings...and yes I'm running setcpu
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Woooot! :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ilnanny:
Yes...!at work great :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
and just to add to this I don't use setcpu with it and it happened to me (once so far)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
Remember that the Nexus S idles at 800. So anything less then that will probably cause issues.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Hatespawn:
I've had my min set at 200 since the day I got it with no issues. I only once had the yellow boot animation deal but otherwise perfect.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
LMAO! Figures, my bad luck. I wiped cache and dalvik then flashed 18. Prl/profile freezes the phone. Restored back to 14. Verified the function does still work, phew. Going to re-download check sums again and try flashing over without wipes. Wish me luck, please.

Update: worked for me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
18 working fine. I stopped using netarchy kernels about 4 nightlies ago and my performance and battery usage has been fantastic.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
This isn't true. Nexus can ramp down lower than that....no problem.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Paleryder:
Yea run cpu spy. phone doesnt idle at 800 , if yours does your jacked in your settings
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Same here and I've been getting 16+ hours vs 10-14 same usage same. Clock
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jcrabapple:
My phone has been really wonky with CM7. I've been using netarchy's kernel so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. There's just a lot of random lag and hangups and freezes. I'm going to try wiping data, cache, and dalvik and flash #18.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] codyjat:
CM7 18

I have been running since build 6 and haven't had any problems it all.. Now on build 18 and having to flash kernel when I went to build 17 and 18 since it wasn't allowing setcpu to controller the cpu overclock...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] obsanity:
Make sure you are using the universal version of Netarchy's. Otherwise you'll experience just about what you are describing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jdh10475:
I'm on update 14 since it posted and I have been experiencing my phone being unresponsive like its powered down and the power key is not working. The only way to get the phone back up is to pull the battery. This has happened 2 or 3 times and I'm running the stock kernel. I am not using set cpu. I'm about to go to update 18. Thanks to all the devs working on this crespo4g!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jcrabapple:
I was using that one. Data/cache/dalvik wipe and update to 18 seems to have fixed things. Could also be that I'm using stock kernel. Either way, it's a lot smoother.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
K so I'm running on nightly #18 was running fine updated my prl to see if I got issues like others it updated now I have no signal where I used to have 1 to 2 bars
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
PRL update has nothing to do with CM7... it is a Sprint issue, and it is really pissing me off.

For everyone having issues... post more details... such as the exact kernel you are using... if you want a more stable kernel, use CFS instead of BFS, or if CFS isn't stable, you might be better off with BFS. It depends on how you use your phone :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Ohh so this means I'm fu#$ed till sprint does something? And I'm on the kernel that comes with cm7 I found it more snappy and stable than nets
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] derekwilkinson:
Pretty much. I can't even do a PRL or Profile update on the STOCK ROM... UNROOTED... and Sprint has done nothing for me. I am f**king PISSED beyond belief... I've had Sprint for 9 years, and I am sick of it. I will probably switch to Verizon and ditch these horrible data speeds.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
I honestly think it is combination of the phone and Sprint. I would try another phone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Completely agree with you I've been with them for 10 years and won't do **** for me either I think all us customers should do something would the bbb do anything.... I can't even make a damn call I have 3 bars and get busy signal any# I call

-- Sent from my Palm Pre using Forums
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ljmeli:
So the last two days I've suddenly been hit with the busy signal when I try to make a call (it takes dialing the number multiple times before it gets through). I haven't called Sprint yet to see if it's a local issue (Denver) or if it's a phone issue.

Also, I have updated my PRL and profile with out an issue, so I do not think it's that.

PRL: P:01115
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] anaglich:
On the latest build and yet again my phone froze up to the dim CyanogenMod logo where the only option was to pull the battery.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] nemith:
Yeah I have received the same on occasion. Unfortunately i haven't been able to pull any logs or anything when it happens.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kalico17:
i no longer had data when i went back to stock from CM7.

i relocked my phone. took it to sprint. told them the phone works as should, can sync, log into google, download apps from the market, the works. but i couldnt send or receive texts/calls

they swapped my phone out on the spot after abt 10min of him trying to fix it.

theres an issue with going back to stock.

dyin @ everyone complaining about PRL issues tho..

it aint Sprints fault :lol:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattfmartin:
Are you supposed to select install from sd card in recovery, or choose update zip? Because i did that and some BS about error with sd cardand getprop. I originally thought it was a bad d/l so i did the previous nightly. Same thing happened. I just got this phone today. Yes im rooted and superuser and all that good stuff. Does anybody know why im getting this error? Please help I cant stand touchwiz:D

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hill180:
I am using build 19. This is wierd. Some numbers come in as 480-123-1234 and some will come in as +1-480-123-1234. If I call back the +1-480-123-1234 it just drops but if I remove the +1- and only call 480-123-1234, it calls fine. Is this the rom?

cwm 3.0.2.4

Damn it i read the stickies, and they on one of them it said that 3.0.2.4 was the latest. Just installed 3.1.0.1 all is well now. I almost felt like snapping my phone in half. Some of that crap in the stickies should be deleted if there irrelevant and no longer works.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
I'm on stock and I've been having this problem. I have also been missing text messages, had garbled phone calls, and answer the phone to no one there. I can verify at least one other person has had these issues as well but on an EVO. I have ported my number to Google Voice if that helps.

Also, I cannot dial *211 from my phone for customer assistance (the feature code is not valid). Is this just me or the phone?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] gullkilla:
Same here. I too have ported to google voice again this post above said. Google voice problem?
