Rom manager under peter Alfonso look for the latest date.

If you are on the 2.3.7 its already on there (wallet)
[Nexus S General] r916:
Did you dload the rooted version or stock? Root comes in odex or deodex
[Nexus S General] r916:
Works fine I'm on matrix 4.5 all is good, fast and smooth.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
The ACS at the beginning of the thread title implies that this is a modded/tweaked 2.3.7, but this is just the stock ota. Yup. It removes root & recovery.

There's a thread somewhere in the general section that shows how to update without losing root. :rolleyes:

You'll need to reroot:

Flash recovery, flash superuser, remove /etc/install-recovery.sh, flash recovery.
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
I didn't lose my root...
[Nexus S General] LancerEVA06:
Whenever you change over to WiFi or boot up with WiFi on and your stat icons are white, just open up Talk... once it connects they'll turn green and you'll be fully connected.
[Nexus S General] jdizzle316:
Ok. I'm stuck guys, please help me find out what I did wrong.

I flashed the deodexed rom and the radio over gpa17. Everything works fine except google wallet, it force closes on me every time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
[Nexus S General] NYYFan325:
Did you wipe data/cache prior to flashing?
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
I've read a couple threads where a simple power off and on has fixed it.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] venumx:
what is force closing ( the actual package ) - if it is the actual com.google.wallet or whatever it is then try going into manage applications and clear data / cache for google wallet
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
For those that have run this rom for a day now how is performance and batter life compared to some of the custom 2.3.5 Tom's? I realize this is stock.
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
My battery life is normal decent as was before
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
Thanks. Are you running stock or custom kernel
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
My battery life is great (will post stats later) uc@800mhz/ j. defender ultimate/ memory booster/ no lwps/ etc.

Edit: performance is great
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
Thanks for input. Are you running a custom kernel
[Nexus S General] jdizzle316:
yes, its the actual com.google.wallet that continuous force closes. thanks for the tip Venumx, I will give this a try when i get off work today. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you again!
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
I'm using Pete's kernel. Was 237 released with a completely different kernel from 235?
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Yes. How's your wifi working?
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
I'm running it with netatchy set to stock speeds though. I only wanted it for voodoo and color hacks not speed hacks. Its good I've been unplugged since 4:30 am its now 9:30 am and I'm at about 68 with wifi on
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
I use wifi 90% of the day, I'm good there. Are you referring to radio wise?
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
I just asked because when I flashed the update without the new stock kernel, my wifi didn't work. Are you on stock 2.3.7, or a custom rom?
[Nexus S General] adamw1101:
Anyone have a streaming audio fix?
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
Netarchy but stock speeds. I only have it for voodoo
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Which version of Netarchy are you using? CFS, BFS, 1.4.0, 1.3.7, Stock, or universal?
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
Flashed via CWM 3.1.0.1 (not updated, couldn't handled too many changes at once), went from CM7 on Matrix 6.5, wiped everything, to this rom, added radio and tether fix, then flashed Matrix 7.0.

Everything is running great, didn't lose root, and all apps and data backed up without having to reload Titanium (wierd, but very cool), so smooth transition

and Wallet is humming with money to spend!!;)
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
jealous! This stupid wifi thing is really starting piss me off! :mad: lol! i'm trying many different kernels. Maybe I'll just have to manually do it from recovery instead of trusting ROM manager. Which sucks, considering I did pay for the Premium version.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Pete's rooted stock 237 & Pete's kernel. This is the first time I'm enjoying stock.
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
1.4 cfs I got it from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1071500
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
For those of you having problems, mine is so smooth. I downloaded to phone, no Rom Manager, wiped everything 3 times - factory reset, cache, and dalvich,

then flashed the cfs deox rom, the radio, the tether fix, booted.

I signed in, all the apps came back without using App Backup Restore or Titanium. I then decided to try Matrix, used Recovery, wiped dalvich and other cache, flashed, rebooted, and smooth as can be,running at 1.2.

I tried everything, it works, no lag, no hiccups or burps, so maybe this new kernel makes it run vs the other, or the extra wipes. Just putting this out there, nothing is worse then trying something new and improved and being

worse than what you had while trying to figure out how to fix it!!!
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
Thanks for the info. I'm back on CM7 nightly but one thing I noticed on 2.3.7 was that there was absolutely no lag... like when I tap an app icon in CM7 the screen goes black and it's a couple seconds before the app shows up.

But with 2.3.7 it was instantaneous... the new app zooms in with everything already in place as soon as I touch the icon. Smooth & fast!! So is that your experience, a very noticeable diff in startup lag between CM7 (or even stock 2.3.4 for that matter) & 2.3.7?

The funny thing is I didn't even really notice the lag much until I tried 2.3.7, lol... if it weren't for the Facebook sync thing I'd probably go ahead & ditch CM7 to go back to root! (w/ custom kernel for Voodoo colors, screen looks like hell on stock). Anyway it's def the most enjoyable stock experience I've ever had on an Android device...
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
I had never noticed that...I just tried it with 2.3.7 then I flashed my 2.3.5 backup (gotta have something I.C.E.) and tried it ..there's a little lag in 2.3.5 but none in 2.3.7. I use netarchy set at sstock speeds only use it for voodoo audio and color
[Nexus S General] r916:
Anyone having call quality issues? My gf said my voice sounds muffled when on the charger she can't hear me at all?
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
I think it increased the sound levels. Try holding it father away.
[Nexus S General] r916:
Tried on speaker phone and she still was saying she can't hear me
[Nexus S General] LancerEVA06:
Alright this has been bothering me for a while now. Why does everyone say stock colors look like crap compared to Voodoo?

I have VERY good eyes, and VERY sensitive to colors. Meaning, I could put 2 identical phones, hardware and software wise, next to eachother and notice very miniscule color/temp variations. In either case the main difference I see is Voodoo leans towards a cooler color temperature, while stock leans towards a warmer temperature. Also, with Voodoo, I see the colors get brighter, and "overexpose".

Sorry for the OT, but just bugging me awhile now.
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
You must not have your hacks set right. I didn't notice a major difference until I put my phone next to a store model and it was a very noticeable difference. Stock looks washed out and light mine were solid and rich and darker
[Nexus S General] ipatella:
What settings are you using on the Voodoo app?
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
Maybe it's just a matter of personal preference. Also each phone itself is different. I screwed up my first NS4G and had to buy another one. I put the exact same settings into the second one (running same ROM & kernel) and it was WAY too dark.

But yeah for me at least the stock colors on my particular phone look washed out, pale, and too yellow. And maybe the stock is even more "correct" but to me I love those deep rich colors and darker darks on the AMOLED and like to at least have the option of setting it that way.
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
What is the best kernel to use with 2.3.7?
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
Whatever. Matrix, trinity. Check the dev stickies. Check my sig for one that's stock @ 1.2, tiny undervolt, no nonsense.
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
What is the best car to drive? What's the best football team?

Rather than ask such an open-ended & subjective question across multiple forums, why not read up a bit more on the features of each, various people's feedback, etc. and give several of them a try... with NS4G it's very simple to flash a new kernel, give it a spin, then reflash to something else if it doesn't work out...
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Help

Ok I did post this in another forum, but I figured it is better posted here (seeing as this question is for the new update). Sorry for the double post, but I do believe it is better suited here. I've been having some issues with the new update & getting everything to work correctly. Gotten most worked out, but here is what remains:

Ok, maybe it's my paren't router, cuz it connected to mine just fine. However, the native USB & Hotspot do not work. I thought once your phone is rooted & you get a custom kernel the tethering & hotspot become available? I have to use pdanet to get the USB tethering working. Yes I flashed pete's "fix" but it even says it's for 2.3.5. Any who, here's my set up: Stock rooted deodexed 2.3.7, kernel: Matr1x 7.0, flashed the ke1 update. Maybe I really just need to completely start over, lol! Thanks for all the help so far people! I really appreciate it! But yes any idea why the native usb tethering & wifi hotspot aren't working?

Getting a Status 7 Error/Installation aborted.

Here's a summary of the error message:

"assert failed: apply_patch_check ("system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk"")

I'm assuming it probably has something to do with the ROM I'm running (TSL), but wanted to see if anyone else had this trouble.
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
dscatto,

I'm running the exact setup, wifi is working. It used to have a tether option in Apps Menu, but now you have to go into settings to turn it on.

I also added the Crespo4GTETHERFIX after the others. This was thru Clockwork, rebooted and everything is perfect.

I tried to copy the link, couldn't, sorry, so look for it, found it either in these forums or xda. That is the exact name. Then turn on in Wireless & Network Settings.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Yes, you have to be on stock grj90. Most of the files in the update are patches to the existing binaries, not full files. Patching a file that is not what it expects could have bad results, so it checks them first.

In the NFL the Superbowl Champions are usually considered the best football team! :-P

edit: Silly me, this was a facetious rhetorical question wasn't it? Dang and I thought I finally had the right answer to a question on here. :-(
[Nexus S General] LancerEVA06:
When you say "washed out" what exactly do you mean? A dull appearance? Because when I use that term, I take it to mean over-exposed, washing out definition. I have tried every combination of Voodoo color settings and the colors just get too bright and don't "blend" well, unless I lower the brightness. However I may have just gotten a BA NS4G... the store displays screen is like a stock EVO compared to my NS. Plus I have EXCELLENT signal (WiFi/CDMA) where my EVO and other phones have half, if not less.
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
What I mean by washed out is they have a faded look. I also have very good radio but my colors were crap. My voodoo settings are set so beautifully ill post my settings so you can see
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
Try this

For color profiles select voodoo profile

Then for RGB multipliers put:

Red-2300875360

Green-2300875360

Blue-2709919680

For v1 gamma hacks

Red=(-50)

Green=(-53)

Blue=(-53)

( v1 colors are all negatives)
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Care to share your settings?
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
I really don't know much about stock NS4G but the simple act of rooting won't give you tethering. Nor will installing a custom kernel; the kernel is responsible for very low-level stuff like scheduling CPU time, loading & providing access to hw drivers etc.

Now if you install CM7 you'll have native tethering built-in. I'm not sure about Pete's fix as I haven't used it. Another option besides PDANet is "wireless tether for root users" from the Market which is free but only creates "ad-hoc" hotspots, which unfortunately many Android devices can't connect to although it should be fine for laptops.
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
I've been using pdanet for years and I love it.

Anybody found for facebook contact sync fix?
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
Anyone have the new kernel by itself yet?
[Nexus S General] Jorge330823:
Pete should have it check with him
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
I'm good, I am on stock 2.3.7 but lost wifi tether after playing with pete's nightly and restoring to a backup. I flashed a copy of pete's kernel from 2.3.5 and it works again. No ill effects yet either...
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
It's downloadable via rom manager
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
yea. I figured as much, but it was worth a try. Guess I'll just wait until the dev updates the ROM. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] raiderep:
I'm guessing the paid version? Didn't see it on free one...
[Nexus S General] s12512:
cant get this to work. i put the right rom on there but the install keeps getting aborted! Bummer!:(
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
Search for "facebook sync" in the parent forum (include all sub-forums) and you'll find numerous discussions on it; if you just want to sync photos there are other apps for that but if you want other details like phone #s it doesn't sound like there's many good options.

So the short answer is, "no"... although I can't imagine that someone sufficiently knowledgeable in Android source couldn't figure out where it was disabled and change it back (since it was revoked in 2.3.3, so it would just involve diff'ing it vs. 2.3.2), so I imagine it's probably more of a case that no one is really looking much into it...

However you have piqued my curiosity so maybe I'll have a look myself!...

Hey guys,

Complete n00b here, just need some help getting my phone rooted again after the 2.3.7 update. I had 2.3.5 rooted using the 1 click root program, a friend of mine was using my phone and accepted the OTA 2.3.7 update. I believe my boot loader is still unlocked but I lost my root. Being that I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff, can someone walk me through how to re-root my phone without losing data? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
I maybe wrong but if you reroot you start from scratch again. You can back up everything apps wise and google should backup your contacts and whatnot. What data are you concerned about loosing?
[Nexus S General] BlackHawkA4:
If you were rooted and updated and lost root all you need to do is reroot. Your bootloader is still unlocked so you won't have to wipe there.

You will, however, need to reflash cwm via fastboot and flash SU via cwm. Then you'll be rerooted and nothing will change and your phone isn't going to wipe itself like it did when you unlocked the bootloader.
[Nexus S General] B6S4:
Done and Done.

Thanks again for the help, everything is working perfectly :)
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Any solution for the facebook synchronization.?
[Nexus S General] chikilin1389:
No
[Nexus S General] pitcherj:
You can at least sync your contact pictures (which is really all I cared about) using SyncMyPix.

You can find it on the Market.
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
I use syncmypix, download pics, sync contacts in google then remove the app.

I'm a bit confused with some of the comments here. I see people say that they're running Pete's GPA17 which is what I'm running. But where I'm confused is where they're saying that they flashed his Odexed Rom and this update. Isn't the GPA17 the Odexed rom?

Basically I want this update but I'm running Pete's GPA17, but don't want to wipe my data. Is there an easy way.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
You have to wipe data to make that jump.
[Nexus S General] djorijun:
I have to wipe data, then run the update? Or wipe data, run GPA17 then run the update? And apparently there's a new radio? Sorry I've been out of town for 2 weeks and am completely out of it.
[Nexus S General] belvedere:
personally if I were flashing this, I'd do a backup first, then wipe, and then flash the GWK update.

you could flash the standalone radio on the GPA17 ROM. it won't effect the current ROM you're on.

I don't have my panties in a wad to use Google Wallet (2.3.7) so patiently waiting for android.kernel.org to come back online and dev's can update their ROMs :)

Im on Stock 2.3.4

I just got my Nexus S 4G and its complete stock and i say that certain system updates broke the wifi tether that i use natively with the phone. What is the best course of action i should take to update my phone and have all the 4G signal fixes and gps and everything fixed and having my phone updated to the latest version im new to this?????
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
All this can be found very easily by searching and doing a little research on this very site. But seeing as I currently have nothing else going on, I'll help you out a bit and give a semi-brief rundown. You really should do research before attempting this, tho.

DISCLAIMER!:

The odds are pretty low that you'll do any permanent damage to your phone, but don't blame me if something does happen to go wrong, turning your phone into a vegetable. Also this only allows you to tether via 3G.

That being said, off we go:

FIRST: You need to root and get clockworkmod installed. THIS should get you started.

NOTE: This will erase EVERYTHING. INCLUDING YOUR SD CARD.

So make a backup on your PC of anything you want to keep.

SECOND: Once CWM is installed,

MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM VIA CLOCKWORK MOD!

I can't stress this enough. If something goes wacko, you've got something to fall back on.

THIRD: Once you're rooted, CWM is installed and your nandroid backup is complete. Download THIS 2.3.7 update and THIS tether fix. Then put both on your SD card partition. (The Nexus S doesn't have an actual SD card, but the OS sees it as one). Once it's there, power off then power back on by holding the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons simultaneously. This will put you into the bootloader screen. (NOTE: You navigate using the VOLUME keys and the POWER key as select. This goes for CWM too) Press vol down and select "RECOVERY", then press the power button. This will take you into CWM. You should see a bunch of blue options. Once there, select "clear cache", then goto "advanced" and select "clear Dalvik cache". Once this is complete, go back to the main menu and select "install zip from SD card", then select "choose zip from SD card" and point it to the 2.3.7 update zip you placed on the card earlier. Once it's done installing, do the exact same thing for the CRESPO4GTETHERFIX.zip. Once complete, "clear cache" and "clear Dalvik cache" once again and reboot. You should now be running 2.3.7 with the ability to tether.

First boot after this procedure takes a little while, so don't get worried. Also once you're up and running and fully charged, go back into CWM and "wipe battery stats".
[Nexus S General] weswilliams55:
Thanks man ill try it right now and let u know how it went. Thanks again!!
[Nexus S General] tiffstylz:
its says abort every time i try and im using stock,
[Nexus S General] silencecloak:
Do a full wipe and reflash
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Weird. Is it an error 7? I only got that error when I was running a non-stock build. Once I restored to a stock build, it went off without a hitch.

It's possible you have to be running 2.3.5 first. Anyone know if this is definitely the case?
[Nexus S General] superhtchd2:
i just returned to stock, went back to 2.3.4 .. been about a hour now with no OTA update, tried manual update but still nothing.. whats the best way to get to 2.3.5 so i can flash 2.3.7??
[Nexus S General] method2madness:
Yea. I think it's probably best you just start with a clean 2.3.5 build. HERE is the stock and pre-rooted 2.3.5 ROM. Just make sure you do a "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM before installing the new ROM.
[Nexus S General] tiffstylz:
i was on 2.3.4
[Nexus S General] tiffstylz:
finally got the update.
[Nexus S General] Frizzanko:

MyTouch 3g 32B HBOOT-1.33.0013 Radio-2.22.28.25

Arrived w/1.6

OTA to Froyo

Rooted w/SuperOneClick

Froyo to GingerYoshi 1.5 Using Clockwork Recovery

Installed Aman_Ra Recovery through Terminal App

From a cold boot to fully loaded it runs crisp, fast and responsive, I really like this ROM. After a little while though I start to have issues.

-While in the middle of texting or browsing through pictures in the Gallery, the screen goes blank and kicks me to the Home Screen.

-Android Market and Swype Keyboard constantly give me "needs to close" messages.

-After any of the above happens and any time there after, when I am kicked to or manualy return to the home screen the phone hangs for a few seconds before loading any of the Home Screen icons.

Restarting the Phone helps for a little while but then the quirks creep back up.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Perhaps should I use a different ROM? I dont really have time to flash and reflash over and over as this phone is in full time use. I am looking for stability. The phone is used to the full; texting, calls, music, videos, apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kanttii:
Those symptoms usually appear for me when I'm using JIT. Turn it off and do a full reboot: power off, battery out, battery back and boot up.

Could you list your YoshiMod/CM settings here? Like compcache, CM heap size, CPU config etc.
