The "snappyness" of it all is really impressive. It feels like it's running much faster even underclocked. I wish I knew more about this stuff so that I could roll my own or add some options I like, like the notification toggle widgets.

Speaking of which, I stumbled across these instructions today that apparently do something similar using the free Widgetsoid app. I haven't tried it yet, but if it works, then this is the main thing I was missing. Well, that and theme support.

BLN works fine for me with Pete's kernel.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Yea. I figured it did for most people. Not sure why it's not working for me, but no biggie. I'm about to try out the matr1x kernel anyway. :)
[Nexus S General] Paleryder:
Quick question,in CPU settings are we supposed to have the restore CPU settings on reboot box ticked? I've been running 800 mhz flawlessly and want to keep it that way :)
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Yes. If you're not having any problems (and you shouldnt be), then check that bad boy! :)

I keep mine at 800mhz all day, every day.

I tried using this rom and it's super fast, but when I installed Launcher Pro, when hitting the app button, it was really slow and choppy. Is there a way to fix that?
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
I think that's a problem with launcher pro itself.
[Nexus S General] KaLiBLeeK:
If you go into the "advanced" portion of LauncherPro's settings, there's an option to change the opening speed of the app drawer. I think it's set to "5" by default. If you bump it down to "0" it should open up a lot smoother.
[Nexus S General] leechy:
thanks for the tip! been hearing nothing but good about the speed and battery life of this rom, so i want to give it another chance. ive never had to adjust that setting in LP on any other rom though - always been smooth as silk...wonder why for this one?

How have you guys gotten widgetsoid to work in the status bar? I have it set up in there but it doesn't toggle. I have to have the pop-up enabled or it just doesn't work.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
I'm using Launcher Pro and the only issue I had, was it was freezing for a good 20 seconds after unlocking from a cold boot. Going in and turning off Google backup rectified this.

But other than that, I have no problems with LP and this ROM. It's quite snappy. In fact, I tried Launcher Pro, Go Launcher EX and ADW EX and LP runs the best out of the three. Perhaps you have your voltages set a bit too low? Just a thought.

The ONE issue I am having with this ROM however, is the brightness wants to reset to 100% after every reboot. When I go to settings, the slider is right where I last set it, but I have to touch it to bring the brightness down to match the slider. Any ideas on that one?

This is by far the best NS4G ROM currently out (Yes, I've tried them all) and I thank the developer muchly! :D

I have not had any problems with GPS ( I work for UPS so I use it often) but try an app from the marker called GPS status. You can clear the cache with it and re-download the GPS info.

This ROM is amazing and fast, only thing needs fixing is the Google Services issue that's been happening for the past 2 months. (not a ROM problem just saying)

keep getting logged out of my Google services while on 3g only.
[Nexus S General] jta462:
M2M, me too. I've flashed everything. Always come back to Bugless. display has done this on most stock roms for me. on Kushs it didn't but cm did. So I have no clue. I'm pretty sure Pete is busy but it probably would hurt to send logcat or ask him.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Awesome. Glad it wasn't just me. And yes, I will definitely shoot him a message. :)

EDIT: Come to think of it, it's probably just a coincidence, but this didn't seem to start until I after i flashed a new bootimage through CWM (A script someone compiled that installed the new boot image via "install zip from sd card"). I've since changed it again, via the old fashioned way (manually placing the bootimage file in the system/media directory), but the problem persists. Again it's probably not related, but worth mentioning.
[Nexus S General] oakleyrdc:
This rom is great. Best one so far. Quick question though. How do I change the picture of the korn cover when I'm on the phone?
[Nexus S General] dwielunski:
Well, it is certainly slower when I do that, but it's noticeably choppier than the exact same animation in the stock launcher of GPA17, regarded of the speed, and even if I overclock.

(That is, the Launcher Pro "open drawer" animation with 3d drawer enabled skips a couple of frames right at the end.)
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Should be alot faster, I edited it :)

I would appreciate the help when you find time. Never had this happen before.
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
OK I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899934 and came up with my own fix using their idea...I took the same build prop line they are working with from cm7 nightlies and swapped it into my build prop with root explorer.

The line you need to change:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/sojus/crespo4g:2.3.5/GRJ90/138666:user/release-keys

I changed it to cm7 nightlies fingerprint as last time I tested it I found my apps no problem, so change the above line to this:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/sojus/crespo4g:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

I'm not sure what the long term effects of doing this will be but if you are not worried about getting updates for that one app then simply switch that line back after installing the app. Hope this works for you and anyone else with that same issue, it did for me ;)
[Nexus S General] autoprime:
great rom! ive tried pretty much all the roms out there.. and kept going back to stock. this rom is better than stock!! using the default kernel too.. thats a first as well. i'd normally always flash netarchy's kernel. ive noticed quadrant scores have dropped but that's just a number. performance seems on par.. if not better.

anyway to build tun support into the kernel for openvpn support?
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Doing this will make the system think it's on the old build, therefore it will always think it needs to download the OTA update to update your phone. I would recommend emailing the developer of the app and telling him that his app has dissapeared from the market upon the 2.3.5 update for the Nexus S 4G.

I just checked my kernel config and it is included in my kernel, let me know if there is anything else I need to add
[Nexus S General] autoprime:
you are correct.. i should have checked first. :)

all i needed to do was add the liblzo.so and openvpn files from the CM7 rom.. stick them in the correct folders.. set the correct permissions and thats it. then all you need to do is download the OpenVPN Settings app from the market(http://bit.ly/oLHkxi) and openvpn is all set up.

maybe you want to add the needed files to your build.. idk.. but if so here are the 2 files. http://localhostr.com/files/R5XjEbx/Archive.zip

liblzo.so goes in /system/lib and openvpn goes in /system/xbin.
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Thanks for the information! I have added it to my "to do" list.
[Nexus S General] Highway 55:
I am not able to change the notification ringtone in gmail. This has happened before in other roms, but I was able to uninstall and reinstall from the market and that fixed it. Now I have no option to uninstall gmail. Its not a big deal just an fyi.
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
I did email the dev of the app and he supplied my with the link I put in my post. I simply used the cm7 line because thats a 2.3.5 rom that my app showed in and it never tried to update while I was using it. Also I was trying to suggest switching back after installing the app. Not trying to muck up your thread pete, just trying to help is all :)

edit: The app dev also suggested an app called Market Enabler but it did nothing for me with this issue...

Did you by chance install the color mod for this? I had it for a bit; up until I got a phone call and there was a teddy bear full of stick pins as the background. Everything else was okay but I really wasn't digging the phone dialer background.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Ahh. I'll bet that's it! Although I installed the color mod and my call background is a running man looking thing. Maybe the modder changed it after the version I have?
[Nexus S General] oakleyrdc:
I did. My bad. Wrong forum.
[Nexus S General] cdbillups:
If you're interested, I took the stock phone.apk and dropped it in the color mod. The dialer screen was really the only thing I didn't like about the mod.

[Nexus S General] cdbillups:
I use 7zip on my machine. I downloaded gpa17 rom and extracted it out. Then I used 7zip to browse through the color mod until I found the phone.apk. Then I dragged the phone.apk file from the extracted gpa17 rom into 7zip and replaced the phone.apk in the color mod. I copied my modified color mod over to my phone and booted into Clockwork. I reflashed gpa17 and then flashed my modified color mod.
[Nexus S General] fergie716:
for those that don't like the dialer in the colormod try flashing this: Phone.apk

If that doesn't work, unzip the ColorMod theme, delete phone.apk from /system/app and re-zip the rest of the mod

Just an FYI- I set aside a few hours to re-work the theme tonight and I will make sure I make one with stock dialer lol

EPic 4g Camera ui??

Hey Pete, thank you for this awesome ROM. I am going to stay with this and use it everyday. I love how fast it is and the stock look. I was wondering, is there a way for me to get the Epic 4g's camera ui on the Nexus? I found the .apk, but either I didn't do it right or it isn't compatible with the phone. I really like the different camera filters on it and it looks a lot better than any camera app i have tried. How would I go about doing this, or is it impossible? Thanks ahead of time.
[Nexus S General] jeffreynothing43:
Cool...thanks. I know this is off subject of the thread but thank you regardless. And this ROM is great. Good stuff all around.
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
I don't know about the Epic camera, but the MIUI camera has a host of features the stock doesn't have and is generally better. Also it doesn't replace your stock app, so you can choose which one you want to use. I use it daily and have no issues.

DOWNLOAD ME
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
In order to use the Epic's camera app, we would also need to use Samsung's camera firmware. This would be a really cool breakthrough as both devices have identical camera hardware, but the Epic (and other Galaxy S phones) use Samsungs camera firmware and not the AOSP firmware. Photos taken on my Epic are clearly of better quality when compared to photos taken with my Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] dmora01:
I have been using this rom since the beginning and I love it but I have one problem, the browser, is way to slow to scroll at the point to make me force close it, is very frustrating bc I used to have the evo with a older hardware and used to work fine. Is any way to fix it, replace the .apk app or do something, I started to use opera mini but I feel using a wm 6.5.
[Nexus S General] mattman_916:
Thanks for the reply. Yeah my Girl Friend has the Epic and I love her camera! I have tried Miui's Camera but its still nothing like the Epic's. Oh well, I will just have to dream lol

I am 95% sure I updated just fine from the 8-19-11 build, but how can I tell for sure? Is there somewhere I can confirm a version or build number on the phone?

Sorry if this has been asked. I searched for relevant terms but could not find anything.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
The camera in the galaxy s and the nexus is different. The nexus s camera does not have the HD encoding chip. It is a completely different model.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Correct, but I was under the impression that this only affects Nexus S's ability to record HD video.
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
Just wanted to say that this ROM is incredibly smooth. I have used cyanogenmod and moved over to Oxygen. I was always curious about this ROM and peeked at it. I miss the power widget from the other ROMs but that is about it. The fluidity of this makes up for it.

Dropped calls

Can anyone provide any real world experience with dropped calls on GPA17 vs. stock. I have two phones and it was only when I was doing some conference calls two weeks ago with the NS4G that I experienced two dropped calls in the middle. Up to that point I hadn't been on a 10 min+ call, so it wasn't a problem. I have been meaning to install this ROM but if anyone has any insight on this, it would be helpful.

When the Kitchen asked for the two files to upload I used the two in the latest GPA17. Can someone tell me why this didn't work and what I can do to get the rotary lock screen working?

Even though this has nothing to do with the Rom from BP - KE1 is the radio that is included with 2.3.7 (google wallet) update. You can flash it from Pete's other site in NS4G development and have it work with just about anything. It's a baseband update, not a Rom. :)
