Thanks, that is kind of what I thought. Wireless Tether is what I have been using and it worked decently, just when I am starting it up, I sometimes have to load a page on my phone browser to make it work on the computer. It is kind of annoying. It is my girlfriend's phone and she isn't to savvy, so I was hoping for the built in one since it is the easiest. Anyone tried PDANet? I was thinking of buying it for her since she would just have to plug the phone in and have it work.

Why CM7 over stock?

Dumb ? right LOL Wish it was though.

I come from the Moment SPH-M900 (Sprints TURD phone of all turd phones). This thing had to be rooted, modded and tweaked just to operate the way I wanted it to. But this damn phone doesn't seem to need anything and so far no one has put any "reasons" to root and load CM over stock. Other than "The look"

Had mine for a little over a month now and need to know:

In a nutshell why did you root and mod your Nexus S 4G?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
The question is more like...... why not?

FC on FB contacts?

Anyone else getting "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" when trying to view/edit a contact linked to a facebook contact?

I don't have issues when viewing non-fb contacts. I remember someone posting about this in a recent nightly but it doesn't appear to have a resolution.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] formula84:
Funny I get the same issue everytime trying to use the google search widget with all selected I begin typing first three letters (set) then I get that same message you posted. If i change from all to web the search works fine, maybe it is searching through my contacts and crashing on results...interesting.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tazdeviloo7:
It adds some nice features like swipe to dismiss notifications, status bar settings widgets and a really customize-able lock screen. In a nutshell I'd say it makes the phone even more productive and adds some nice small features, especially for the power user. Only qualm would be slower software updates that don't come automatically right from Google. For someone like you who visits XDA, I highly recommend it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
Yup, I just noticed this as well when I tried to check out some contacts.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RealSpArTeN:
root?

so.....just came from rc1 and updated to 7.1.0, but seem to have lost my root. Is there any way I can root it without doing a full wipe?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cojonesx:
I don't think you actually lost root, what makes you think you lost root? This *is* a rooted rom.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RealSpArTeN:
well, i wanted to manually delete some .apk files i left in /system/app/, but i only have read access :(

I'm too annoyed at ADW and there's apparently no elegant way to replace it with stock. Seems strange to me that it wasn't included. Oh well, back to something else.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] josephaoliva:
I'm getting the same thing. It is bugging the heck out of me. Anyone have a fix?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] unomedmen1:
Just pull the launcher2.apk from petes ROM and install it thru es file explorer (what I use). Then uninstall the adw launcher (as I did) and your set.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kgorczyn:
Have the random reboots been fixed? I ditches RC1 because of that...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
Did not work. I just got "Application not installed." I even removed ADWLauncher.apk and renamed Launcher2.apk to ADWLauncher.apk and rebooted. Boot loop.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] unomedmen1:
You must of missed something along the way. I have stock launcher2.apk running perfect with no issues at all. Steps I took:

Install ROM

Downloaded Es File Explorer (preference)

Installed Launcher2.apk thru above app

Rebooted

When Asked which launcher to use I selected Launcher of course

Set as default and rebooted

When up and running I uninstalled ADW and thats it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MrDrumngun:
Just delete the old one with titanium backup. I'm running the music player from ics :)

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
I had the same blank screen issue with the last nightly, but so far no issues with the stable version. With the CM kernel and whatever governor settings it comes as.

Just a question, if it has been answered somewhere before I would like to be pointed in the right direction, but what is the difference between the stock GB launcher and ADW?

I only ran my Nexus stock for a few hours when I bought it, then rooted and flashed CM so my only experience is with ADW/EX.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jholm7:
Yes. Each time I tether, wireless or usb, I connect to the PC but immedeatly lose any 3G data connection. 3G will still be checked as active under mobile networks. If I un- recheck the box it will turn back on for all of 2 seconds before going away.

I've rebooted, wiped dalvik-cache and re-downloaded and re-installed all with the same results.

logcat attached.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fergie716:
IMO your not missing much lol. I prefer ADW Ex over any launcher

But here is the market link for the stock gingerbread launcher

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ebproductions.android.launcher

You can look at the screenshots to get an idea of what it looks like
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mustangboy88:
If you are installing the system apk you need to install it in the system/data directory and set the permissions. It doesn't install like a typical apk like I think he was doing. Your permissions should look like this.

No issues with voice search for me. Try to clear apps settings or reinstall it from the market.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
No issues with voice search for me either.

I was actually just testing it to compare it to the new Siri iphone app.

Works just as well. Especially the speech to text. Pretty sweet how I can speak a message and have it sent to someone. I never knew I could do that before. >_>
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] BrianDigital:
With long periods of Odell my phone will drop connection to Google and will remain that way till reboot
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] BlackHawkA4:
I cleared everything. Reinstalled. Then went to vlingo. Which worked. Unistalled voice. Came back. Tried Google again. Worked. Uninstalled vlingo. Tried again worked. Tried again later. Fcing again. Uninstalled and back with vlingo. Guess it really doesnt make a difference. Could prob wipe and start over to fix it but seeing vlingo works and its not that important ill wait till I'm bored or something.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
you couls also use any other launcher in existence and just theme the dock bar to make it look stock but still use custom icons.

that's how I rock mine.....that way I'm not stuck with some crappy launcher that I have to install a mod just to change a little. :rolleyes:

While the status bar pulldown doesn't work, there is at least a 4G toggle/widget in the market for it that matches the default look of the Power Control widget.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iBowToAndroid:
I used to get this all the time back on stock. Figured out it was my screen-off profile in SetCPU - I'd get the black screen anytime the minimum was set any lower than 400. On CM, I did get it a couple times but not anymore. Minimum for screen off is now set to 200 just in case.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
Yup...same for me. It drops all mobile data when activating wireless/usb tether and wireless hotspot. I can only use a wifi connection for both.

so there was 2 stable releases ??? i have 7.1.0 and see now 7.1.0.1 ... but i cant download it at all
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iBowToAndroid:
I think you have to enable it in settings - long focus
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] alfay13:
Okay...I've tried rebooting, saving the current settings, every combination of settings I could manipulate, aaaaand I'm getting a little frustrated with the icons on my dock. I changed them to match my theme and even tried using a full theme I downloaded from the market and everytime I unlock my phone the icons are gone. If I select the green and white android boxes it still runs the correct apps, but the images are gone. Any ideas?

Haha. Well its happening more frequently apparently...I reset them just before this post, went to the home screen and here it is!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iBowToAndroid:
The icons disappear, or revert back to stock? Have you tried clearing data on your launcher? Re-flashing?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] alfay13:
I just posted a screenshot. I have reflashed and cleared the data for ADW as well. To no avail.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iBowToAndroid:
Is it the ROM version or standalone one?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] LancerEVA06:
I've been keeping my eye on cold and warm reboots. On stock from 5/18-10/10 I had a total of 2 coldreboots, and 1 warm reboot. On CM7.1.0 since 10/10... I've had 5 cold reboots, 2 warm reboots, and 1 cold reboot that froze at the CM splash screen which required a battery pull. I'm not sure if I'll be keeping CM7.

I just need a stable reliable phone. Hell when I was running stock, it wasn't even rooted.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 2wheeler:
Just a heads-up:

The update-cm-7.1.0.1-NS4G does not (at least for me on 2 attempts) run GVoice correctly. (specifically GVoice does not provide the option to select between Sprint# and GVoice via a radio button)

For further clarity this was AFTER also flashing 137nightly + gapps-gb-20110828-signed

Also mirror network for CM only shows update-cm-7.1.0-NS4G-signed.zip (w/o the .1)

After reflashing with this update + 137 + Gapp all is copacetic.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] baldwin69:
i wanted to change the boot animation on this rom but i can't seem to get it to fully work. i tried a flashable version and tried using a different version and putting the bootanimation.zip in /system/media. it plays for about 2 seconds and then goes to a blank screen for about 3 seconds and then it loads to my lockscreen. though i like having a 5 seconds boot process, when it gets to the lockscreen the phone itself isn't actually fully booted anyway. is there something else special i need to do? or did i just manage to have 2 bad zip files? (i'm trying to use the stock animation btw)

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

r u referring to the white signal bars? i have this problem on this rom too (but i had it on the stock rom as well). i've yet to figure out what's causing it. it can be a pain in the butt sometimes when it disconnects me from apps and the internet and all. not a lot of people talk about it though, so i guess it's not a common issue?

You might want to check this out: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=7c7a962fd3ae87e2&hl=en

It is a widely known problem that Google refuses to acknowledge. I believe it was first noticed on a Nexus S because we had Gingerbread first with the icons that go green to white. Now that more roms are Gingerbread aosp and with Cyanogen so widely used a lot more people have noticed it. Sadly most people do not know what the icons going from green to white means so it goes unreported most of the time. I have tried to get Android Central (here) and other Android sites to write an article about this problem so it would force Google into taking some kind of action, or at least make a response but the consensus looks to be that Google doesn't care and we should just except that.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] BlackHawkA4:
Hopefully theyve noticed and it will be fixed in ics.

im constantly getting the sleep of death now...

is there any idea's or methods to help relieve this issue with the phone?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tobiasly:
I consider that a feature, lol.. I hate that GVoice doesn't let me keep my separate GVoice number and still use my Sprint number on my phone. Anytime I wipe + reinstall I hafta go back to voice.google.com and dis-associate them again.

Of course if they'd just allow it to take over my phone # but keep my texting (so I don't hafta use the lame GVoice app for that) I'd be very pleased.

Anyway thanks for the heads up....
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] njeske:
Every time I've activated GVoice on my NS4G, I have the option to skip the first step of integration and proceed to normal activation. It took me a few ROM loads for me to notice that the option to skip was there, but you shouldn't have to set it up and then go to the GVoice website and remove the association.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dpeeps74:
Yeah, read what you're clicking, and skip the integration. Also you don't have to use the google voice app for sms, just change the option in the app to receive text on your phone or in the settings on the google voice site.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
anyone else getting a massive battery drain? I've tried everything I can think of, short of relocking the bootloader, unrooting, and starting all over from scratch.

I know games like words with friends will kill the battery fast, but I can easily drain a 95% battery (wont charge fully like others report) to completely dead in about 90 minutes.

Even the nightlies didn't kill my battery like this!! I may just reinstall the last one with a working accelerometer (131 iirc?)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cojonesx:
if you have the google+ from ice cream it will do this, get rid of it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] N4STYNATE:
I had the same thing. Battery stats reported that "nfc tags" was using 85% of the battery.

I flashed the latest nightly and added the libakm.so file as posted a few pages back to get the accelerometer working.

Now I'm not getting that crazy drain and everything is 100%

So far I'm loving 7.1, except for one issue: Even with the screen locked and off, the bottom buttons (Back, Menu, Search and Home) stay lit up if I have a notification in the notification bar at the top. This is consuming a lot of my battery, especially at night when I'm sleeping and can't clear my notifications.

Anyone figured out a fix for this?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
download bln free from the market and disable it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tobiasly:
That's odd, I could have sworn I looked all over for that option & didn't see it but I'll take a better look next time. Maybe I thought "Skip" meant cancel out of Voice setup altogether.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

I tried that but the GVoice app still kept giving notifications any time I got an SMS. So I'd get two notifications, one from my SMS app & the other for GV. Of course turning off GV notices means I won't get them for voicemails either.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cojonesx:

Is there anyway to the enable microphone key in the android keyboard for dictating text messages without downloading another keyboard?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tobiasly:
I don't use the default keyboard but it won't show up on any keyboard unless you have Google Voice Search installed so first check that...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iBowToAndroid:
No it's not. No phone has true (lens) zoom. If there is zoom, it's software. You can download various apps from the Market that will do it. All it's doing is enlarging the pixels.

Fix for tethering

I'm confused - the microphone is enabled by default, unless you changed it. There's an option for it in the keyboard settings
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] GeezyAF:
So why doesnt CM have it enabled for the crespo?

My aging hero has it in the camera app.

the average user doesn't want to download an app just to zoom.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tobiasly:
The average user doesn't use CM :) I don't ever want a digital zoom feature while the picture is taken because all it does is remove information from the photo.

That said, there appears to be a discussion of this already on CM forums:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24202-camera-zoom-fails/
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] GeezyAF:
Zoom isn't included in stock rom either.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
I used to agree, but on my Evo I consistently got better pictures by using digital zoom versus shooting and cropping. Not sure why. The sensor could be doing some trickery like turning off parts of the sensor or something, I dunno.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tobiasly:
It's probably "resampling" the image to interpolate the missing pixels, which depending on your third party software and usage may or may not be doing the same thing (I apologize if that's obvious to you but figured not everyone may know it)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MakubexX:
Thanks for the tip tobiasly, that was the problem. I didn't have Voice Search installed. :)

It was there by default with the stock ROM but with CyanogenMod you have to install the Google apps manually.
