That's the only gapps I use for any cm AOSP rom out there. Works wonders. Give it a couple of tryies w that gapps and it should settle up. I think google gets confused on the different gapps and stuff from what I've been seeing. That's why I stick to one gapps.

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
I'm on q rom and am having data issues. I enabled the data toggle and it wont turn 3g back on now. I went to settings and made sure mobile data is enabled and can use 4g but when I turn it off it doesn't turn 3g back on like it used to before. I'm also on netarchy's stable cfs kernel fwiw...

Edit : 3g just came back after posting but I'm wondering if it's related to the data toggle or if it was just a fluke...
[Nexus S General] mr.jcarter:
Any other ideas? I've tried 3 different versions of gapps, the on in the OP, the one in the link posted above, and finally latest version available in ROM Manager.

Edit: Ok so my downloaded apps are slowly starting to restore. Still no Gmail or Maps though, should I have to reinstall these manually through the Market?
[Nexus S General] luckylui:
Okay ur making progress bro. Stick w the gapps that's working best outta all three, now from the sound ove it gmail n maps has been removed from the gapps cause it can be downloaded from the market. Sounds like we found a winner :)

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] mr.jcarter:
Thanks bro, think I'm all set now.
[Nexus S General] luckylui:
Anytime man :)

Happy adventures bro!

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Seriously, I like this better than CM kush. Its smoother and not a single fc yet. I got an fc on boot with CM, plus random ones all the time.
[Nexus S General] luckylui:
I've noticed that if you wipe cache and dalvik and flash cm on top of cm it gives you the fc on cm parts but when you don't wipe it wont come up, now if you try again and put cm on top again w no wipe it will dis time give u cm parts fc..? So I've just been completely wiping and flashing and its pretty good. Set up only takes me twenty mins so w.e lol. Ima try this rom out now and see what we got going. As I used kushy on my evo and still do :)

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] mr.jcarter:
Can anybody confirm the gapps.zip in the OP has the News and Weather widget? It on top of the one I got from ROM Manager and no longer have the widget installed.
[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
I flashed the gapps from the OP and I don't have News and Weather widget...
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
Kush.......first and foremost, thanks for an excellent beta. Has anyone else noticed that the battery life is better on this build than the last. My phone seems to be sipping battery.
[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
Yeah my battery is definitely doing better. I actually stayed with the kernel that came with the rom, instead of flashing another, and I'm getting great results right now. Thank you Kush for working your a$$ off and getting this rom where it is right now.
[Nexus S General] ccrosno:
No, the gapps in the op is a stripped version. Only contains the necessary gapps. Bacically market. If you want the full gapps, download the official universal gapps from the cm7 official thread. Dated gapps 030711. This will have all the gapps everyone is asking for.
[Nexus S General] steb0ne:
...but does it have the working GTalk video chat?
[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
Yes it does...
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Hell of a build kush! Much better than any of the other ROMs out there right now. Super stable and good battery life. Couldn't be happier with this one.
[Nexus S General] nickespi:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK! If i had more knowledge and time I would contribute! I give a lot of credit to the Devs who make this a priority! They deserve a lot more than they get!

Got to say I LOVE THE ROM and your Work. Keep it up!! U make my nexus worth having!! So ill deal with all the issues it has =!!
[Nexus S General] kushdeck:
glad things are working out. remember, please use the issue tracker if bugs do surface, as it is easier for me to keep track of things. I should have a new build out for you all in a day or 2 with a couple more fixes. hopefully well have the toggle working ;) thanks for all the support. you all really make it worth my while.

[Nexus S General] decalex:

Was super confused there for a sec :)
[Nexus S General] sal87:
loving this rom thanks for all the hard work!
[Nexus S General] ndroid916:
thank you so much for your effort and hard work, loving your ROM so much, everything works here using Net 1.3.4 uni, HC on theme Chooser is the best.
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
How do you all like your Sprint Nexus-S ? This would be the ROM for me if I get one, like what I am reading here :)

I LOVE my EVO 4G, but...the thick and heavy size of it is getting to me, and with summer the EVO feels like a brick in my shorts pocket. Plus even though I am rooted with the best Sense based ROM = "Myn's RS 5", battery life is still pretty bad.

Would like a thinner lighter phone, might make the switch the the Nexus-S, the EVO-3D looks cool too, but it will also be a heavy brick, not a fan of HTC lately with these thick and bulky phones. Samsung Galaxy S2 with same size scree is super light and razor thin, why is HTC going thicker ?
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
I would definitely recommend this phone. I just came over from an epic 4g and I have no regrets.
[Nexus S General] kwan:
Can't seem to download the rom. It always stops short of the full file
[Nexus S General] Zorachus:
Thanks, does this ROM make the Nexus-S feel faster/smoother than the stock phone out of the box ?
[Nexus S General] decalex:
As a "never again" Samsunger (Moment > Epic --> Evo) , I'm loving this phone. Super light, not to cheapy feeling. Dev community is totally picking up speed.

I still don't fully understand the benefit of the curved screen, but it looks cool :)
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
Yes it is very fast and smooth and smartbench results are better than stock if you use netarchy's stable kernel. The battery life is the same if not better than stock so its a win win IMO. Just came over from an epic myself and I recommend switching to the nexus. By the way, the signal/radio issues are not happening to me fwiw ;)
[Nexus S General] robmiller:
I installed g talk zip and it says I have version 1.3 but it not showing the video part off it. Any suggestions? Is it because I flashed custom kernel?
[Nexus S General] mquinn24:
Flash the 5-26 gapps. It has the new gtalk

Thanks

[Eee Pad Transformer General] peyman_2002:
I haven't contributed much to this forum, therefore, I decided to make this how-to thread for those of you who would like to be able to read PDF files in ebook readers (i.e kindle). I should also mention that the same technique can be used for .doc and other file formats but since most of the books are in .pdf format on the web, I decided to make this thread for those of us who enjoy reading books on our devices but would rather have the ebook version of those books so we can use them in ebook readers.

Advantage of turning pdf files into ebook formats (.epub):

1) you can easily transfer them to your nook or kindle or ipads and read them when you dont have your TF handy!

2)The greatest satisfaction of all for me is when I go to turn pages I would love to see the actual page curling animation! which can not be used with regular pdf readers.

3) ebook readers give you the advantage of selecting night/day which in turn makes it much easier to read at night.

4) A single .pdf book can exceed 30Mb but the same book in ebook format is only 170 Kb! its good for those of us with space limitations.

- first of google or locate on ur device the .pdf file of the book you would like to turn into an ebook.

- now head over to www.epub2go.com (using your mac, linux or pc) make a free account first then

- go ahead and either upload the file or give it's URL on the homepage of epub2go. give it a minute to turn the files into ebook, then it asks you if you'd like to send it to your iphone or just view/save on your computer, choose the latter one. It asks you where you would like to save it, give it a destination and remember it!

-now at this stage I email the .epub file as an attachment to myself (to read on my TF)....at this stage your ebook is ready, if you'd like to read it on your ipad,kindle,nook etc, you would just need to transfer the file to your device and enjoy it! (I know with ipads you can just drag and drop the file in itunes 'books' interface)

-on your TF download FBreader app.

-download the .epub file you emailed yourself and save it. (note: your email client should save the attachments in 'Download' directory in your SD card).

-open up the FBreader app and on the first page tap on 'File tree'

-locate SD card then 'Download' folder... you should see your file listed there.

-ENJOY!!

Hopefully this was helpful :)

Let me know if you got any questions
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Nice job. Added to ultimate thread. Personally I prefer Calibre, as you dont have to register and you don't have to upload anything. It also converts to a massive range of formats:

Input Formats: CBZ, CBR, CBC, CHM, EPUB, FB2, HTML, HTMLZ, LIT, LRF, MOBI, ODT, PDF, PRC, PDB, PML, RB, RTF, SNB, TCR, TXT, TXTZ

Output Formats: EPUB, FB2, OEB, LIT, LRF, MOBI, HTMLZ, PDB, PML, RB, PDF, RTF, SNB, TCR, TXT, TXTZ

Link here if anyone's interested in trying it: http://calibre-ebook.com/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kstarz:
I also prefer calibre, you have got quite a lot of different options while creating ebooks and is very easy to use.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] peyman_2002:
Good to know about the Calibre.

One challenge I have is that I wanna create ebooks that can be read in TF's own MyLibrary app, I would to be able to read the ebooks just like the ebooks that came stock on MyLibrary basically you can see two pages on the screen and you get the actual full page curling effect when you try to flip pages.

I tried reading the ebooks I created on MyLibrary to see if I get the same effect as the books that came stock with the TF but it was unsuccessful.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nook-color:
What specifically is different with Calibre converted ebooks. Is it some feature / function that you're not able to use?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
I've been using ePubBuilder, it supports intelligent chapter splitting, white space cleaning, import from UMD, SND, PDF, TXT and a ton of other format. Add book cover and description at book creation and saves it in a format that makes it easily editable in the future. I'm not sure if its available in English yet, but I saw this language setting in options.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Calibre, hands down.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] peyman_2002:
does the calibre recognizes your TF? when I connect my TF to my PC, calibre won't recognize it even as an SD card.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
MobiPocket Creator is also good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] redshirt72:
Calibre's great, been using it since my old Sony-PRS 500, currently using it with an Android phone, and hope to soon be using it for my Transformer. I've been using Aldiko on my phone and have no complaints, hope it makes the jump to tablet ok, or that Honeycomb has a good native Epub reader.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sr-ha:
I have tried to open an ebook, i made with calibre with "MY Library", but it want not open. If i tab the book in "My Library" the app closes. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] peyman_2002:
That's exactly my problem! I really like the MyLibrary interface.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] p0k3y:
With Calibre, one thing I haven't figured out is to get it to handle the table of content correctly in PDF ebooks. Anyone has any hints?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbaucom:
With calibre you can do internal web publishing, and point your transformer's browser via wifi to your computer and from there download your epub.

I use fbreader as my primary reader. To get fbreader to successfully download the books I always have to install aldiko.

Here's the web page that better details calibre internal web publishing.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] benwade:
I also think that Calibre is the best software there is for preparing files for a phone or tab, but as an aside, Zinio is now avaiable for Android.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
+1 Calibre here. Been using for months for my Kindle :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] burnshroom:
Another +1 Calibre user.

Have thousands of books in Calibre library that transfer easily to the Ipad, Kindle and Android.

Transformer should arrive Tuesday and Calibre will definitely be used.

Another good thing about Calibre is that it is free and is updated CONSTANTLY and is customizable to how you want your epubs to be formatted.

You never know what new feature might drop any day.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shockwave786:
Thanx sooo much this helped me out alot :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunsetbay:
Great thread! I've been reading and rereading.

Question that maybe some of you have already solved(s). Text to Speech apps.

One of the main reasons I wanted the TF is to at sometime not to have to replace my Kindle DX, which I really enjoy. I'm half and half on reading and listening on driving, but it seems the apps are few for this...only found 2 of them.

I'm familiar with years of working with Calibre and Mobipocket and I'm through my learning curve with an SD card to transfer from my computer/e-mail the different formats.

Here's the two apps I found:

ezPDF Reader - I may have to go back to this, couldn't figure out how the TTS works. Yet, I'm not crazy on PDF format for book reading....guess Calibre spoiled me.(s)

Moon+Reader Pro - $4.89 and worked with yesterday. I wouldn't suggest anyone try this yet,had to delete. I've already wrote for a refund and haven't heard back. The book reading part seemed fine and when I did the TTS and got out, my screen started blinking real fast, continuously (never happened before)....I gave it 3-4 minutes to see if it stopped, it didn't.

As soon as I deleted it, everything came back to normal and my screen has remained fine. Pretty sure it only started with the TTS.

Any suggestions on apps for reading and TTS...maybe more will come along in the future. And I did ask Moon+Reader Pro if they do an update, let me know - I'd like to try it again, but can't risk it now.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] peyman_2002:
@sunsetbay:

Try using QuickOffice 4.0, it has a TTS functionality in there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunsetbay:
Thanks, peyman_2002

I'm off to check it out!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluebobx:
The reader that Asus supply seemed pretty okay to me - certainly based on the dramatic increase in the number of O'Reilly Associates store purchases I've made after buying my Transformer!

Getting back on topic - I don't know if it'd be helpful, but I thought I'd better mention that there's a discussion on open source ePub tools in the latest edition (October 2011) of "Linux Magazine" (Linux Pro Magazine in US/Canada). And there's a couple of articles on the magazine's website, the most recent of which is on using LibreOffice as a creation tool (I'd like to have posted the URL, but I'm still in 'n00b' status on xda so I can't), check out linux-magazine.com or linuxpromagazine.com as appropriate.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gremmie:
What are the settings you are using for calibre so it is the correct resolution. I tired the samsung which has the same resolution as the TF but it was still smaller.. and i tried with no changing resolution and it was HUGE :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 91ludesit:
What is the quality like for PDF ebooks that look like they are scans from the original books? It seems like textbook manufacturers are cheap...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] al2x:
I have a calculus textbook in PDF format thats around 330MB large, and right now I read it on Android with eZPDF Viewer (it was free from Amazon a few months back), and it has page turning animations and such, etc.

It does take a few seconds here and there when loading pages that aren't close to each other. Would I benefit from this?

I figured since there's no unofficial discussion thread for free Amazon apps I might as well start one. I know we all don't check Amazon everyday and thought it might be a cool idea. Feel free to talk, review,bash, crap on, praise, and post anything related to the free app of the day. I don't start many threads myself, but if this is posted somewhere else feel free to delete it. Now on to the free app of the day!

Here's the Amazon link for the web and where you can also get the app store to get in on these free apps.

Thanks @jayharper I forgot about this. Duh

Here's a direct link to the Amazon apk, keep in mind if you uninstall the app store none of the free apps will work anymore!

Today's app is Jenga. Dowloaded it on my Nook Color. Kinda neat from a 3D graphics perspective, but, honestly, this sort of game kinda misses the point, IMHO on a computer.

Best free apps so far, I'd say were:

Angry Birds Rio ( which I missed out on)

Pool Break Pro (Awesome!)

Flight Control (surprisingly addictive... for a while)

Plants v. Zombies

Pacman

There are a couple of free apps today. One of them is the very popular, highly rated seekdroid that is typically a dollar. It's been one of the top 10 to 20 paid apps on Amazon since they opened the store. It's probably the best remote lock / location tracking app out there, except for maybe lookout security, but they charge $30/yr for that service. Go get it!

That superbox app doesn't seem too great. I bet a combination of free apps is probably better than that.
