just curious but why would you already put money in? Does anyplace even accept it yet?
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
There's a few places that do. I know there's not many locations in my area other than maybe a couple gas stations, McDonald's and CVS.

I'm certainly in no rush to use it, which is why I'm waiting for the ROMs to update. But it's a vicious cycle for now since the android.kernel.org site is apparently down. Can only wait :)
[Nexus S General] jta462:
It gives you ten bucks on Google prepaid. From my understanding 'speed pass' will work. Though I haven't tested.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Google wallet is alive and well. CVS was fully equipped for google's wallet. Few pages back is link for business locations who are paypass equipped.
[Nexus S General] marleynyc:
Anywhere that has "speed pass" will work! I just used it at a best buy and a gas station.
[Nexus S General] xjreyes:
http://www.google.com/wallet/where-it-works.html

Here's a link to show you some places that accept it. Their are more places not listed of course. Yesterday morning I went to buy my mom her birthday gift ( Nexus S 4G ) from best buy using the Google Wallet Bought a Nexus S 4G with my Nexus S 4G lol. But I see it as when the iCrap comes out I hope it comes with NFC so they paypass can be popular and more places will invest in they technology ..and then the iHerd will say their phone had it first again.

** Can't wait for the Kernel site to come back up, I am currently on the Stock one Pete put up, with his kernel and tether fix, quick question, so when GPA is fully running, will it be able to flash over the Stock ROM? **
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
Glad it wasn't just me...the sync icon is stuck for me as well.
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
You will have to do a complete wipe.

I recommend sticking with the final GPA17 if you need something stable. The nightlies are test builds.
[Nexus S General] fleury14:
cream & sugar :D
[Nexus S General] asaetern:
Will the new ota update be worked into the gpa17 rom? Or for now if we want 2.3.7 we just have to flash the stock rooted one?
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
Thanks Pete for taking time to work on this. Looking forward to its completion.
[Nexus S General] ehiggins:
I thought mine was stuck on as well it was just trying to sync picasa so I turned that option off and the icon disappeared

09/23 Nightlie

Do we need to do a full wipe for the 09/23/11 Nightlie?
[Nexus S General] xjreyes:
from nightly to nightly you don't need a full wipe just cache and dalvik cache.
[Nexus S General] vertigosrs:
So is 2.3.7 included in petes 9-23 nightly?
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
No, as far as any ROM goes (from my understanding) none are able to be updated to 2.3.7. The source is android.kernel.org and from what I've read the site was hacked and the sources were all taken down to make sure they weren't tampered with. ETA is unknown but of course we're all patiently waiting.

Ah okay thanks for the answer. I googled it and some people were talkinga bout:

http://php.webtutor.pl/en/2011/09/05/kernel-org-hacked-how-to-get-android-repo/

Not really sure if that's useful? Just thought I'd throw it out there. I can't wait til things are back to normal and the dev's can get the source code again!
[Nexus S General] ehac1680:
Apparently you didn't read the comments on this link? It seems the code had a bug and won't make.
[Nexus S General] vertigosrs:
No I didn't have time to read everything on the page, I was on my lunch break and had to go back to work....just trying to be helpful..
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Just a quick bump :)

Tried a few other roms over the weekend and always preferred this one for the snappiness and battery at 800mhz. Great rom Pete!
[Nexus S General] RushAOZ:
NOOOOOOO!!!!Volume+ doesn't work on this rom :(( it just seriously lowers the speaker volume. Anyone know a way around it?

[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Worked fine for me. Although the speaker isn't all that great and gets a bit distorted above +5.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
V7.5 of Matr1x right?
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Not at the moment. I was using v7.5 on the 2.3.7 ROM I was running, but the ROM was acting really weird. Little things would randomly not work right, so I just restored back to a nandroid I had running GPA17 with matr1x 6.5 kernel for the time being. I don't think it was kernel related tho.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Oh that's weird..
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
That Volume+ is working or that I was having 2.3.7 issues?
[Nexus S General] RushAOZ:
I'm on 7.5 amd it just seriously cripples speaker volume. :( gonna try reinstalling or something.

[Nexus S General] PMDColeslaw:
Anyone else having low mic volume on the 2.3.7 stock rooted? I flashed it a couple days ago and people keep telling me they can barely hear me over the phone now.

I did a full wipe and not running any custom kernels
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
I was experiencing that problem on 2.3.7 stock rooted, as well as GPA17. It turned out that the 'Hi-fi record' setting in Voodoo Control was causing the problem, once I turned it off the problem went away and people were able to hear me clearly again. Hope that helps.
[Nexus S General] PMDColeslaw:
Thats it! I had forgotten that I turned that on the other day. Thanks
[Nexus S General] Alopez_45:
So would anyone know how to port the theme manager over? Thanks. :)
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:

[Nexus S General] asaetern:
What's in the 9/29? I'm on gpa17, I don't have to full wipe to flash this right?
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
I think you can get away with just wiping Dalvik. I'd probably also erase regular Cache myself. But in the long run, you're right, a full wipe shouldn't be required.

I think your first question is referring to "what's new?" and that I don't know. Pete's mid-semester at school and doesn't post as many details but you're free to peruse his github... which apparently explains everything but I barely understand it all :)
[Nexus S General] barnacles10:
Launcher: Hold app in delete zone to prompt for uninstall

Looks to be the main feature change. Dunno when these are compiled, but that was 5 hrs ago.

So no, full wipe is not necessary.

[Nexus S General] shibby80:
does this build have the wallet app
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Good to hear! I'm still running 8/30 and am super happy with it, so I'm a bit hesitant to upgrade. Although, I *do* tend to covet the latest and greatest. :D So I may give it a whirl once there's a little more feedback.

Running 10/2 nightly and all is well, thought wallet might be there though.
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
Put the latest nightly on an hour or two ago and all is well so far. Running Pete's kernel too, thanx again for all you do man :D
[Nexus S General] Shott3r:
Does anyone know how easy it would be to integrate the advanced power menu with the screenshot and reboot options into this?

Or does Pete know that people shouldn't want to be rebooting into recovery to flash things once they install this ROM? :)

Still, as much as I love the responsiveness and rock-solid stability of this ROM, the screenshot option and the drop down widgets have become virtually indispensable to me. If I can figure out a way to add them that will do very nicely.
[Nexus S General] mrfordwrench:
Please add the Theme Engine....Rom is great though.
[Nexus S General] :
2.3.7 is up anyone running it yet? i don't want to be the first :p
[Nexus S General] amd_203:
There's actually a stock ROM with tweaks, including the ones you spoke of (drop down widgets, screenshot and reboot into recovery) that's like this called Oxygen. It's stable and runs great, as I'm using it now. You can find it at " http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=982 " Latest version is Oxygen 2.3 (Gingerbread 2.3.7)
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
I think I am, I'm on the 10-2 nightly but now I see the beta of gpa18 is out...pretty sure they are the same. About phone says 2.3.7

Running as smooth as ever at 800 interactive.
[Nexus S General] silencecloak:

[Nexus S General] beetlo:
Where did the 2.3.7 source come from? kernel.org is still down...
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
he wished it and it came true.

the CM7 source updated to 2.3.7 so I'm assuming there's an alternate and reliable source somewheres.
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
This 2.3.7 is good stuff, thanks for the hard work Pete.
[Nexus S General] pfer10:
Anyone get Google wallet going with the 10/2 GPA17? I flashed one but says the keys aren't capable.
[Nexus S General] onemadrssn:
Android version: 2.3.7

Baseband version: D720SPRKE1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.14+ root@pete #5

Build number: GWK74

Been running it for a few hours doing what I normally do. So far so good. Haven't tried wallet yet.... not sure how to be honest.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
As noted several times within this thread, GPA17 is a hybrid build and doesn't have a working wallet.
[Nexus S General] onemadrssn:
What about GPA18, which was posted earlier today?
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Dunno. Haven't tried 18 yet. You seem to be on GPA18. Give it a whirl and see. Just open the program and see if it allows you to setup an account and doesn't FC in the process.
[Nexus S General] onemadrssn:
I'm guessing bugless didn't include the 2.3.7 Google Apps... Seeing if I can get it somehow else to give it a shot.

EDIT: Should be worth mentioning that I am new to the android world. I am quite experienced in software testing though... just not android phones.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
I'm thinking if Google Wallet isn't included with the build, it's probably not working as of yet. The only modded ROM that I know of (as of right now) that has a working Wallet is a special version of CM7.

EDIT: I've got the gapps along with the google wallet fix, but again I'm not sure if it will work. If you want to try it, I'll upload them and give you a link. Just make a nandroid first.
[Nexus S General] onemadrssn:
Word on the street is Oxygen 2.3 also has working Wallet, for what it's worth.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll wait a few days before trying the apps that way.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Hadn't heard about Oxygen. I'll have to check it out.

And I don't blame you. But here are the files in case someone else wants to give it a go. As long as a nandroid is made before installing these, there's really no danger. I'll probably end up trying GPA18 out tomorrow and will more than likely try installing these myself.

Google Apps containing Wallet

Google Wallet Fix
[Nexus S General] Frizzanko:
i flashed these and was getting force close when i booted it up, i fixed permissions and now it opens but i get "Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys). Please contact Google support.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
!!

Yea. That's kinda what I figured. Thanks for trying tho!
[Nexus S General] Frizzanko:
is that just the rom hash or something?
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Unfortunately, no. It seems Google has an added layer of security that no one, as of yet, has been able to hack to use outside the 2.3.7 ROM.

EDIT: Scratch this. The gapps and wallet fix work fine on GPA18, but you must do a complete wipe and reinstall.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
It's been confirmed working on the latest Cyanogen nighties as well oxygen 2.3 - even for t-mo and att nexuses. It should work on any 2.3.6/2.3.7 ROM. It seems to require a full data wipe, though.
[Nexus S General] Frizzanko:
is this actually 2.3.7 or is it 2.3.5 renamed basically?
[Nexus S General] Shott3r:
Well aware of Oxygen, and ran it for a long time. While it is good, it does not have the same level of responsiveness and stability as GPA. Also, Oxygen removed the theme engine for version 2.3. Makes it barely different from DevNull at this point.

Getting my theme engine fix from the Kang nightlies right now, but aching to return to GPA. Hopefully kernel.org is back up soon, and since Ice Cream Sandwich is dropping in mere weeks, things are going to heat up for the holidays :)
[Nexus S General] chikilin1389:
Well works perfect on mine Google wallet end PetsRoms perfect. At first I had FC then I Get to fix permission and I had something about the system then I download fixthithering and I did a full wipe and GW start working good

[Nexus S General] tsjoe2:
I love how smooth it is from the getgo. Only thing for me is wallet doesn't want to work, nor is it in the app manifest.

Thanks. I'm installing the GPA18 beta as I type this and I'll give it a whirl.

EDIT: Yeap! Working fine after a complete wipe. Thanks. :)

And thanks for the awesome ROM Pete!!
[Nexus S General] :
is google still offering the 10 dollar credit for signing up? if no i'll probably just wait till gpa18 isn't beta and if any bugs are worked out.
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
I flashed with oxygen earlier today and got the credit. It is worth the few minutes it will take.
[Nexus S General] :
i flashed this with cwm and i'm not seeing any changes in my app drawer??

this rom is super snappy!
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
You don't see the Wallet app at the very bottom of the app drawer?
[Nexus S General] :
weird i had to flash it twice to get it to show up. now i'm getting force closes. i'm going to try reflashing it again.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
If you didn't do a complete wipe and a clean install of the ROM, it's probably not going to work.
[Nexus S General] :
i did originally but idk didn't seem to click. now it went through. all setup. i'm stoked! :D
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
What is the difference between this and GWK74DEODEXED?

[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
I have to say that I have been running this beta for only a day and it is amazing on my phone. So fast, so stable. I liked the stock kernel but with Matrix 8 its just outstanding. Great job!

GPA18

Ok, this probably is a dumb question, but is GPA18 the zip that's dated 10/2/11 & does it include a working google wallet

I've been trying to follow all these pages, but there's a LOT of them. So, I just read from when 2.3.7 was being mentioned & it's a little confusing because some say it includes it & others say it's not working. Don't be too harsh on me, lol!

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
GPA18 is 10/2 build. Follow directions in two threads above if you want wallet working on either GPA18 or oxygen 2.3
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Thanks! I was reading his website & it mentioned something about this not being true 2.3.7? Is his latest truely 2.3.7 or just a tweaked 2.3.5?
[Nexus S General] :
just used the google wallet with this. awesome! bought me a free slushie and pizza.

[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
I have never fixed permissions on anything. How do you fix them for Google Wallet after flashing it?
[Nexus S General] fleury14:
fix permissions is an option in rom manager.
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
I tried that and it didn't work for me...flashed v.5 of Google wallet. Just force closes over and over again. Any other ideas?
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
you can run fix permissions in cwm recovery. you can find it under the advance section of the recovery.
[Nexus S General] cdbillups:
For me, I was coming over from one of Pete's deodexed ROMS. I did a full wipe when I loaded GPA18 and then had to do another full wipe when I loaded the gwallet fix file. After that, everything worked fine. So in order, loaded GPA18 with full wipe using Rom Manager, reloaded Rom Manager, flashed gapps wiping dalvik, flashed gwallet fix file with full wipe of cache and data. Everything working fine now.
[Nexus S General] ehiggins:
I did a full wipe, flashed the ROM, flashed v5 wallet fix, fixed permissions and rebooted everything worked fine. I didn't use the gapps.
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
Data reset/Full wipe was required for Wallet to work on my phone running GPA 18. Everything seems great now though.
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
im about to start this process. one question i had, when yall say 'fix permissions' what exactly dose that mean?

[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
I asked this, What is the difference between this and GWK74DEODEXED?

and it was answered, stock rooted vs custom.

I'm running great and don't feel like spending another day recovering (had fits with clockwork last week, don't know why).

Anyway, running Matrix cfs 8.0, and not getting as good of battery performance as I was on CM7 or GWK. Running Lazy Governor or OnDemand.

Do you think going to this rom, beta, would help get the performance back? I don't see a lot of add ons, don't want to go back to CM7

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
What ROM are you on now? Pete's stock/rooted 2.3.7?
[Nexus S General] BigBadBuddy:
I'm currently on Pete's GWK74DEODEXED with Matrix 8 and I'm getting awesome battery life and performance. I'm just finishing a Nandroid so I can try GPA18, just to see how it runs. I'll share my experience when I load it, but I just thought I'd share that good performance and battery are possible with the stock deodexed and Matrix 8.
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
Yes, running Pete's, prefer this to CM7, but battery is just not as strong as it was.

I have Matrix cfs 8.0 at recommended settings, no lag, runs great, no changes from 7.0. Everyone in that thread is loving Lazy Governor, I've always ran OnDemand, but neither performing as well as it did.

So, other phones, roms, battery tweaks were the biggest thing, here I'm not sure, but can't get through the day and have since day 1 - wierd.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Pete's GPA ROMs are quite a bit faster than the stock ROMs and even CM7 ROMs. He's done some optimization that's just incredible. I've noticed better battery life as well. BUT, how much you use the screen really determines the amount of life you get. No ROM is going to give you awesome battery life if you have the screen on 7 hours out of an 8 hour day. IMO GPA18+matr1x kernel is about the best you can get for battery life and performance.
[Nexus S General] BigBadBuddy:
I'd consider myself pretty close to a worst case. I hit the charger once or twice a day, but kind of expect that with my use. I listen to podcasts a lot of the day, and use the phone for business, so when I'm not near my tablet I'm checking email a lot. I think the Lazy governor on Matrix 8 was the biggest improvement for me. I'm hoping GPA18 will be good too.
[Nexus S General] tauzins:
hey, has anyone have any reboot issues? my phone randomly froze then rebooted on me... it was weird...im running newest nightly
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
No rebooting issues for me with 10/5 while using the matr1x kernel, I've been running it all day and have experienced no bugs or issues thus far, as always great work Pete.
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
Thanks for the answers on this. I know sometimes it takes a little for all of it to settle the battery. I had to reload the rom, while at it I recalibrated the battery and upgraded to 8.0. Might've been too much at once. I have dimmed the lights some, running at 1.2, even tried 1.0 (I had been at 1.2 forever), so went back.

I've been running Lazy Governor, supposedly and reportedly better, so might just give it a couple more days of my normal usage to see how it goes, but its not quite there.

I will keep reading and watching comments, I know sometimes there's a little tweak but nothing wierd running that wasn't before. I downloaded Vlingo today, but it was showing running so deleted while trying to figure this out.

Maybe it just needs to settle in . . in a few days, might try GPA18, I was holding off since its Beta in case he does final release (saw he doesn't have the time to work on it like he has). Just wierd everyone else is doing better and mine's going the other way. No other issues whatsover, smooth as silk and happy I'm not considering an Iphone!!!
[Nexus S General] :

[Nexus S General] FAFS:
Quick question does 10/5 have google wallet now or do we still have to flash the zip and if not does

anyone know when google wallet will be on roms other than the stock ROM.thanks in advance and great ROM Pete!
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
10/5 does not have wallet included and I assume it will start to be included in roms once kernel.org is back up. The Google Wallet zip which you can flash is more of a hack which gets around certain perimeters required by the app, such as the extra security features included in 2.3.7.
[Nexus S General] BigBadBuddy:
I just flashed the Google Wallet from another thread, after a full wipe. All good after that.
[Nexus S General] BigBadBuddy:
I have been on this ROM for about 9 hours and everything is very smooth and fast. I came from Pete's stock deodexed 2.3.7 ROM with Matrix 8, and I'm now running the 10/5 nightly with Matrix 8. No problems at all to report and very happy with the performance. Time will tell on the battery, but it sounds like it will be good.
[Nexus S General] renizo:
Its the v.05 google wallet you flashed to make it work.
[Nexus S General] fleury14:
That's the one I used. Just make sure you follow the instructions. Takes maybe 20 minutes to get everything restored.
