I'm having horrible lag in my games. Everything else is SUPER fast, which is awesome... But my drag racing and cutting the rope is just slowwww...

Isn't this just a guide on how to create a theme engine compatible theme?
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
was able to get 10 hours on this phone before even getting to 50%. very impressed with the battery life and speed. using GPA18 with stock rom kernel. no background & also turning off data connection when im not using the phone for a while of time.

keep up the great work with this rom!
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
I love Peter's Roms and have used them since I got the NEXUS S4G. I was running the 10/02 from scratch (full wipe) along with Google Wallet fix and everything was fine. I don't know why, but when I flashed the 10/05 the wallet disappeared (no biggie). My real issue is that scrolling through screens is incredibly laggy on the 10/05 nightly. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I nandroided back to 10/02 and it is perfect (scrolling is very smooth).
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Eventually CM's line will be updated and be the same as mine. I'm not sure who the maintainer is for the Nexus S 4G but if he doesn't change it soon I will try to remember too. And I meant no offense, hope you didnt take it that way.

Not EVERY night but when I make changes and get time to compile and upload. Depends lol. You can check my github for changes.
[Nexus S General] 4redstars:
You've got a lot of people excited Pete

Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Honestly Pete, I dont think we really have a maintainer for CM7 for NS4G. Its basically been the same since day 1. A 4g toggle of some sort would be amazing :)

Anyway, about to flash this on my Nexus and call it good. Thanks for posting this for us...
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
No offense taken at all man, love the rom :D
[Nexus S General] pewipo123:
i dont know why im getting such low quadrent scores lately.. only like 1800 - 2100 here vs. sime others 3100+....I dont believe it because I PROMIS YOU, this bad boy is the FASTEST, SNAPPIEST, and boom boom rom ive used on my N4G... it opens and closes apps in a blink!!.. ive had 1 freeze for whatever reason, but other then that, Way to go señor alfonso!
[Nexus S General] warriorforgod:
I seem to be having an issue where my NS4G doesn't show up in my market account after flashing this ROM. Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] ehac1680:
New update is running as good if not better for me.

This rom is great!

I'm so excited to see what else you have in store for us. I've heard (read) nothing but fantastic things about you and your roms!!
[Nexus S General] mntbkr:
Probably because quadrant doesn't know how to handle 2.3.5 . I would not put much weight to those results.
[Nexus S General] pewipo123:
i hear ya...roms blazing fast! quadrent dissagrees but idk!
[Nexus S General] jjhrrsn:
I was getting poopy results too gets hung up on 3/4 IO
[Nexus S General] 4redstars:
i have had an android phone since the Hero on sprint then went to an evo and then the nexus s and have never run quadrant on any custom rom I've ever had, I normally just see if the phone functions well and go by that...

I have rooted my hero, evo and nexus s on my first day of owning and have never run the stock rom unless i had some really crazy things going on or had to bring it in to sprint.

Is there a reason for the importance of quadrant?
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
Hmm.. many people say different things about quadrant, IMO I think it is it is only good when comparing two compeletly stock phones. I dont know if pete put in the Ext4 hack which makes the nexus have a crazy io score, so maybe that's why were arnt seeing such crazy scores. This Rom is fast as is, and I don't need a quadrant score to tell me otherwise :)
[Nexus S General] kalico17:
any chance of Theme Manager making it into your rom?? That and the lockscreen wallpaper are the only reason im sticking with CM7 atm. flashed your rom yesterday tho and was amazed... just cant get use to the stock GB look :/

that green :mad:
[Nexus S General] pfer10:
Not really just a way of showing one's epenis. Just like putting your Honda on a chassis dyno and bragging about those numbers. Take it to the track or it really doesn't mean anything. :D The phone is the same way. In real use if it feels good I would care less if it scored worse than my old HeroC in quadrants.
[Nexus S General] 16vMK1:
Hands down most stable rom I've used on my nexus
[Nexus S General] pewipo123:
i just read alot of people on 800mgz.. im doing it now and its just as fast as other roms on 1400. i DID have it set to ondemand 200-1300 and it was SCREAMIN fast.! only 1 freeze and that was during a download. This rom should be the standard for stock! i love it!..muy rapido amigo!
[Nexus S General] amarrero83:
I come from having Vaelpak on my Evo and have been spoiled with a super fast stable rom with everything working beautifully. I have noticed very little development for the nexus s compared to the EVO. Does this Rom have force roam. Force roam is a must for me. I can theme my own phone but I cant develop yet.
[Nexus S General] ROB281:
Flashed the rom this afternoon running smooth, and stable with the governor set for 200-1200
[Nexus S General] kijp15:
Hey Pete,

Do we need to do a full wipe or just cache and dalvik going from 0806 to 0808?

Thanks Pete! :)

This ron deoxed?
[Nexus S General] Skitzi:
I am currently on GPA17 and can't get a PPTP VPN connection to work between my phone and Windows 7.

I can connect to the PPTP connection from other windows machines so I know everything is set up correctly.

The error I receive on the NS4G is "Server hung up. It is possible that you are behind a firewall that prevents you from connecting to the server. Do you want to try again?".

I am on Sprints 3g network, good reception, and am running adblocker (should not matter). I am connecting to the windows machine via DynDNS (again it works from other Windows machines).

Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Nevermind. It appears to be an issue with Sprint. If I connect to a wireless network the VPN connects just fine. Sprint is blocking PPTP vpn connections?!?!?!

Has anyone flashed a new nightly after doing the wallet fix? Do you have to wipe everything again?

I just had to flash the wallet fix again. I did wipe dalvik when I did it though.

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for the answer.

[Nexus S General] autoprime:
are dialer codes working for you guys? *#*#DATA#*#* etc

not working for me after new rom flash :/

This ROM+matr1x v8.0= Awesomesauce

Today was a light use day, but I still made a few calls, did a little texting, checked email several times and used Opera for about 20 minutes. I still have 77% battery left. :)
[Nexus S General] BigBadBuddy:
Do mind sharing your config? That's pretty impressive battery for this phone. I am a really heavy user, so i'm in tweak mode at the moment.
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
I would have to guess he toggles data on and off because he mentioned "checked email several times" and this can be a significant juice saver. could be interpreting this wrong, but disabling data for anyone ought to save significant battery.

edit: screenshots also show him on wifi ;)
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Certainly.

1.) I run my screen at a little over 1/4 brightness.

2.) My screen times out after 2 minutes.

3.) I have my Wifi policy to "Never" sleep.

4.) My clocks are at 100mhz/800mhz and I use the LAZY governor. Although there's not a huge difference in battery savings between 800mhz and 1ghz. But since you really can't tell much of a difference performance-wise with 800mhz, I use it. It saves a little battery at least.

5.) My voltages are currently set to what mathkid set them in matr1x v8.0. Which are slight undervolts.

6.) Bluetooth stays off

7/) GPS stays on. But is only used when an app requests it. I use Accuweather for my weather app, but have it set to only track my location via WiFi.

8.) Although a lot of people say they're not necessary, I use ES Task Manager and it's accompanying widget to keep track of running programs and close those rogue programs that like to eat up battery.

9.) The only "updating" widgets I run are Facebook 1.5, Accuweather, Google Voice and Yahoo Sportacular. All are set to update every hour or two hours. I run Google talk in the background also. Also worth noting: A lot of people have been reporting issues with Google Wallet eating up battery, but thankfully I've run into no such issue. I don't think too many have had this problem running Pete's ROM.

I can't think of anything else at the moment. But if you think of something else you wanna know, feel free to ask. :)

BTW: I'm now at 45% battery and the phone's been running for 13h 29m 52s since charging. the total screen on time has been 2hours 35min, total time spent awake is 3 hours 21min, phone in use time is 12 minutes 38 seconds and wifi on time is 13 hours 55 minutes and 10 seconds.
[Nexus S General] solodogg:
mine too on the latest...drag racing is not playable.
[Nexus S General] blankit:
Gpa18 was stable at first then started going awire on me
[Nexus S General] BigBadBuddy:
Thanks for sharing. I'm pretty close to that config. I use a couple of GPS profiles with Tasker (a must have app) and use wifi at home and office (a large part of my existence). My CPU setup is identical, including voltages. I had setup Tasker to turn autosync on and off every half hour on my EVO, and I remember it helping, so I'll try that (5 GMail accounts).
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
No problem. Happy to help. There's one other thing I forgot to mention, but I doubt it makes much difference. I'm running one of those $5 china/Korean made batteries you find on ebay. It's labeled a 1500mah, whereas the stock is 1440mah. But I doubt that's really making any difference. Thought I'd mention it anyway. :)
[Nexus S General] Magnumxxxl:
a few problem.

Well my first and main problem is that I am not able to tether 4g only 3g. Wireless tether doesn't work. I also have a question, is it possible to put theme Chooser apk on this tomorrow?
[Nexus S General] jta462:
Wow. . . Tomorrow. . Lmfao. M2M gonna try your method.
[Nexus S General] Magnumxxxl:
Lol i meant to" my keyboard auto corrected to "tomorrow" lol. But is their away to put theme chooser on this?
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
Sorry for the noob question but Im new to the Nexus S 4g...

Do i need to flash a certain kernel or is one already built in?

Second, do i need to flash gapps or is it already built in?

Thanks for your time.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Yes, it comes with a kernel

No gapps needed

Wipe(s) and flash

Good to go
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
lol@tomorrow. And cool. Lemmie know how it works for ya.

Currently at 27 hours with 20% battery left. I'm actually using the phone a bit too. Think I'll see how long I can go before it poops.

EDIT: I finally gave in and plugged the charger in at 11%. Total time on at this point was 30 hours. Not record breaking or anything, but still pretty good :)
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
had a battery calibration question.... i tried to calibrate my battery using the battery calibration app because my bat always says its fully charged at 92-95% , i can never get it to top out at 100%. even after using the app i still have had no luck. is there anything else i can try or do to actually get a 'full' proper 100% charge on my device?
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Not really. Google designed it this way, as it prolongs the battery. You can try bump charging, which will sometimes get you around 99%, but it falls off very quickly.
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
so the 95% fully charge happens to everyones device? not just mine?
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Yeap. Everyone. :)
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
okay well that makes me feel better. i thought something was up with my nexus haha.. i just got this phone last week and wasent sure. thanks for the clarification.

out of curiosity, how dose it make the battery last longer?
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Heat is the number 1 battery killer. Preventing the phone from "trickle" charging to 100% allows the battery to stay cool and happy, thus prolonging it's lifespan.

Release 10/05 with matrix kernel getting jerky with scrolling and stuttering on games, back to 10/02 as that was working quite well. Didn't occur until a day or so of use.
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
Thank you. I posted something about stuttering scrolling a few pages back but no one replied or confirmed it. I am on 10/02 as well. Something was funky with the 10/05 nightlie. I was using a different kernel and experienced the exact same thing.
[Nexus S General] droalex:
I been stuck on the bootscreen for about 10 min and it still hasn't booted. Should I reflash?

4g tether?

So 4g thethering doesn't work with this rom?
[Nexus S General] q711179:
3G with tethering fix.
[Nexus S General] Magnumxxxl:
So that's a no on the 4g tethering? I know the 3g tether works. But I can't tether with 4g. There's not fix or rom that supports it? I just got this phone, I came from the evo. My evo supports 4g hotspots. That's like one of the main reasons why I love android the ability for 4g hotspot in call of duty :), no 4g hotspot then I am returning this phone and getting the epic touch 4g
[Nexus S General] adamw1101:
GPA18
[Nexus S General] fleury14:
4g tethering is not supported by any rom on this phone. The only work around is using the wireless tether app.

Does anyone know a good way to remedy GPS issues? I can't get a good lock and maps keeps saying I'm somewhere 20 miles away.
[Nexus S General] SComp23:
Is this 2.3.7 ROM pretty stable? I'm getting bored with MIUI, not because it's boring, just because I get bored easily.

I've wanted to try this ROM out for a while, and I want Google Wallet.
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
I have had mixed results on the GPA18 10/05 version. The 10/02 has been great and it is still GPA18. Mayb give that a shot - unless of course you have already fixed it. :)

Pays to do some reading and research.

Possible 4G tethering

If you just cant live without 4G tethering on the NS4G here is link to possible fix though I have not tried it myself.

Here is link; http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...-using-android-wifi-tether-3g-4g-2-3-7-a.html

Hey guys I had to go out of town today and needed a net connection and I figured out how to get tethering working with the Samsung Google Nexus S 4G with the 2.3.7 Build GWK74

I thought i would share this with all of you encase you have not figured this out as I have. The free version in the market would not work for me with the new update

1 You need to be rooted for this to work.

2 You will need the wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk Link Here -----> wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk - android-wifi-tether - WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta6 *** BETA *** - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting <----- Place this in your internal phone storage sd card does not matter where its at as long as you can find it.

3 For this to work you have to remove any other tethering programs you might have installed (Not Including the stock android tethering app)

4 After you have made sure you have no other tether apps installed you need to reboot into clock work and clear out you cache

5 Go to Menu> Settings> Applications Check the Unknown Sources Check Box

6 Using your file manager navigate to the APK you downloaded and install it (I use Adao File Manager)

7 Bask in the glory of your new mobile hot spot in either 3G or 4G speeds you can add encryption and change settings by hitting menu while in the app there is no device profile for the Nexus S 4G so I left that to auto and had no problems I also set it to Epic 4G and it also worked there as well.

Please be sure to show your support to the folks who made this wonderful app maybe even donate I did here is there site android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting

matrix kernel fixes the laggy games with GPA17. Haven't tested with GPA18 yet, but for some reason it does work. Pete's kernel worked fine with the stock GWK74 build, so i'm not sure why it's not working well on his own rom.

What do the different governors do? Anybody know where I can find out?
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Google

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
ondemand

Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed. - SetCPU website

conservative

Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery. - SetCPU website

performance

Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking. - SetCPU website

powersave

Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times. - SetCPU website

userspace

A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor. - SetCPU website

Interactive

The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu

at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming

out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire

within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer

fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.

If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the

last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down

to

Here's an odd one. I kept my phone off the charger most of the day (with clients most of the morning and an event all day where I was nowhere near a charger). In the screenshots below, it shows me being on the charger all day. I really don't even buy the time on battery figure, as I hadn't charged the phone in 8 or 9 hours. I wiped everything and came to this ROM from scratch and ran a battery calibration. I'm going to try another wipe and go to the 10/2 build (on 10/5 now). Anyone seen this?
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Yea. That's really odd. I've seen the battery stats reset if you were close to a full charge (in the 92% full range) and plugged into USB. But I've never seen the phone say you were on the charger when clearly you weren't. I'd definitely try the 10/2 build. A couple of people have reported weirdness with 10/5.
[Nexus S General] jta462:
M2M, 10/2 and Matrix 8. Good stuff. Heavy usage and poor signal, Went from 730am to about 1am, when my phone died. I have never had such battery life. I like to let Kernels ride for a day before I test. So this was day two. good stuff.
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Thank you! I'm trying out the smartassV2 one. I'll look that up.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Awesomesauce.

Awesome! I hope Pete is reading these threads and knows how much we really appreciate his work. Mathkid95 and whomever created the LAZY governor(can't remember his name) too! I have tried every single NS4G ROM and kernel and have not found a better combo than GPA18 10/2 and matr1x v8. :)

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

LAZY is better. The dev abandoned smartass2 in favor of LAZY.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Lots of false statements here :)

I take no credit for lazy, it is all ezekeels work. I have merely added it ;)

Ezekeel dropped snappy in order to put in lazy, so smartass2 is still there

Just saying :D
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Ezekeel! That's it! For some reason I couldn't remember his name. And I gave him credit. I just couldn't remember his name. :D And weird. I swear I thought I saw he abandoned smartassv2. But apparently I'm imagining things. I stand corrected. ;)

Thanks for the explanations & the help! I'm still using smartassV2. Seems more responsive than interactive & the games are more responsive as well!

I just did a full wipe and re-flash with GPA18 10/2 build with Matrix 8. So far the *****enness factor is very high. I'm seeing no lag at all after an hour or so @ 800/100, lazy with standard Matrix 8 voltages. I'm going to calibrate the battery tonight and see what my day is like tomorrow without a charge. I'll post back what I get, which looks like it will be good.

yup thought switching to matrix had fixed it, but it just made the lag take longer to appear. but of course it's back again.

anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?

Anyone else having an issue with the ringtone only playing once?
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Yes! I just noticed it yesterday. I thought it was unusual, lol!
[Nexus S General] corndog22cl:
I'm also have the one ring issue. I've also noticed that sometimes my phone will not vibrate when in silent (I confirmed that I have it set to "Always" vibrate). If I cycle the silent mode, it fixes the issue. Very minor issue in the grand scheme of things. The batter life on this ROM is well worth the minor issues. Thanks Pete for an awesome ROM.

BTW - I'm running 10/2 nightly
[Nexus S General] jta462:
Getting FC on adding new contact. 10/2 matrix 8.
[Nexus S General] solodogg:
I did also notice that with petes kernel i cant get a 3g speed test any higher than about .5 meg. On wifi..about 6-7 meg. With matrix, i get 1.5 on 3g and 30-35 on wifi. Seems very odd.
[Nexus S General] cdbillups:
Getting the same thing running 10/5 with matrix 8. Flashing back to Pete's kernel to see if that makes a difference.
[Nexus S General] snoopy1e11:
No issues with adding new contact on 10/5 everything running smoothly so far will report back
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
Some of the ringtones included in this rom aren't looped so they play only once, then go silent.

And I haven't had any issues adding new contacts, I did so just yesterday while running 10/5 and matr1x 8.0.
[Nexus S General] cdbillups:
Found mine was related to FriendCaster syncing my contact photos. Turned that off, removed synced data and everything plays nice now. Not sure if the latest FriendCaster update caused it or what.
