Calendar has a new proper api, so those apps are maybe using the undocumented ones, which fail to work on ICS.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ssunyoto:
Sohell, the reason it won't work is because the ROM is custom tailored to the Nexus S. With it being said, the Nexus S has a different camera than the Galaxy S(albeit the same MP), the Nexus S also has some NFC goodness in it. The Nexus S is also a pure Google Experience phone.

There are plenty of Galaxy S Roms out there, you won't be disappointed and be patient, the ICS port for the i9000 might be in the works right now!
[Nexus S Android Development] _bryan_:
Is there any news about Beta5?
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
intrested too ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] vamitrou:
when the OTA is released by google, will i be able to get it if i have this beta allready installed?
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
so you want to get it via OTA?

than you have to go back to stock, unroot etc. i'm i correct?(i had to do that to get ota updates), but i believe the custom ICS roms will be wayy better ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] vamitrou:
but if i don't use the stock how to compare with custom? ;)

but anyway, i'm a virgin right now, and thinking to finally root my nexus, just to try this ice cream. it seems very tasty. have you tried it? does it work well? i have the i9023 model.
[Nexus S Android Development] kptnk:
look at the twitter conv....: drewgaren.com/DrewGaren.com/Home/Home.html
[Nexus S Android Development] brrip:
if you stalk this forum closely enough, chances are you'll have flashed the zip long before it comes to you OTA. I don't think you have to unroot, but you have to go back to stock if you really want OTA.
[Nexus S Android Development] Aljosha89:
We are waiting for beta 5 :D:D
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
very exiteed too!! but we'll have to wait till tonight. he said:

There is not really an eta on beta 5 probably later tonight. the difference between We Scream & SDK port is that they use dif platforms

sooo i hope it comes tonight!

I've tried it on my i9023, everything works exept for wifi :( (thats my phone, on yours may work) the other users have wifi working so i guess try it out yourself!

be sure to make a backup first before you flash it!;)

[Nexus S Android Development] vamitrou:
Hmm, that's bad. I just rooted my phone. Can you throw a hint how to back up and install this ROM? and if you have any guide to rollback in case sth's wrong, it will be awesome.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
how to backup:

reboot into clockworkmod recovery>backup and restore>backup.

how to install ROM:

reboot into clockworkmod:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

flash rom

reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] vamitrou:
Thanks thegtfusion, finally it was easier than i thought!

The wifi works for me, but the phone feels kinda slow in general. and no face unlock :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Zardos66:
I am loving the new gmail google voice widgets.
[Nexus S Android Development] mixtapes08:
does this have super user root access?
[Nexus S Android Development] nthomas51:
Has anyone gotten Titanium to work? It sticks at 0% when trying to restore apps, with or without data.
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Install your apps first, use titanium backup to restore data... this is how I get it work...

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Nexus S Android Development] mixtapes08:
i think you can still have ota update even if your phone is rooted.. no need to lock your bootlooder again. just go back to your stock rom... thats conclusion..
[Nexus S Android Development] nthomas51:
Thanks, I'll try that!

EDIT: Works like a charm
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
i tried to get updates via ota, so i went back to my backed up Stock rom which was rooted. i got the ota updates, but in recovery where the updates install, it was stuck and it didnt install.

so my conclusion was that the root was the problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] D_Rob:
Did you have stock recovery or ClockworkMod? If you are on a stock rom with root you can still update, but you have to have stock recovery.
[Nexus S Android Development] l1zart:
update of the updated update that I updated after I updated the updated update

Here a updated version, hope that at least a few of these bugs are squashed in B5 :)

ICS for Nexus S 3G (NOT 4G!)

MANY THANKS to Beezy for the Beta 1, We couldn't have done it without you ;-)

but that's b4. As you've post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18813779&postcount=1061

yea i have clockworkmod.
[Nexus S Android Development] bdpyo:
anyone else see on Facebook mobile the phone is picked up as a "Defy"?
[Nexus S Android Development] blakrepublic:
So no one is porting this to the HTC evo?
[Nexus S Android Development] Chris Boyer:
I downloaded voodoo from market and do not have kernel that supports it.?????
[Nexus S Android Development] bdpyo:
I would try asking in the forum for HTC Evo...
[Nexus S Android Development] l1zart:
what do you mean? I've stated that it's a buglist on B4. I updated the buglist.

B5 is not finished yet, so....
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It doesn't hurt to post here. As I have stated, I am doing a port to another device and I visit this thread as much as those in my own category. If you plan to port an existing ROM, you usually have to visit the thread for it at some point...
[Nexus S Android Development] Haizum74:
While it doesnt hurt posting here, you are asking a question about a different phone in a Nexus S post. We have Nexus phones not Evo, so the likelihood of anyone answering that is like me asking in the Evo thread if god exists.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Maybe it's only the Plus version that works then. I have the Plus version and it is working. It said something about incompatible kernel but below that it gave the option to enable voodoo sound. You definitely need a custom kernel for voodoo color.

EDIT: "If you don't want or cannot flash a kernel, my commercial app Voodoo Control Plus has the ability to load voodoo sound with only root."
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Sucks battery :(
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
HOooooooly ****tt!!! I got wifi working!!!!! :D. i removed my sim card and then wifi works :D. then i inserted my sim card wifi doesnt work. :S :( :?

whattt causes thiss?
[Nexus S Android Development] thegod2012:
Does anyone know how to change the carrier name at the lock screen and notification bar or is it the same like all other stock rom
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
You cant change the carrier info at the moment but you can add custom text on the lockscreen if you go to settings>security>owner info.
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Wow, that is one way to make things device specific... Or maybe the developers of the ROM know when someone is porting their work... Given the recent rules on religion discussion, though, I don't see it happening. Lol.

The Evo has talks of a port, but I can't remember who said they were working on it. You may also want to check the thread in the G2 forum. A lot of general development talk happens in the guide to porting ICS. Also may want to look in the thread this one is ported from. They are the ones who will know the most about the layout of the ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] opss:
thx for this amazing port! :)

hope b5 comes soon... love it ;)

LOL indeed. Remember guys, this is a SDK ROM. AOSP is what you're waiting for.

That said, this is a very functional and stable ROM, great work giving us a taste of the Ice Cream before it's out!
[Nexus S Android Development] optikalsaint:
I was having problems getting wifi to work with B4 for almost a day, then I reset my router and everything started working again. For those of you that have tried everything and wifi still isn't working, might want to try that.

Third part apps and camera

First of all, congrats for this great rom! :D

Now, the bad things: I'm not very sure it's a bug or what, but it seems that third part apps that use camera won't work, just like they can't connect to camera drivers... Anyone else have noticed this?
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
OK, take it back for it being stable. Its running good, but there are a few fc and wifi/data aren't sticking 100% of the time. It's on / off . As far as the sdk version is concerned, Google did that since they knew we'd port it and wanted to provide an sdk but not what is shipped on the nexus. This is an early ics build that google packaged as the sdk.

is it rooted can I flash back to my old rom? or use my backed up rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] pcDroidski:
Did you do a wipe before installing the ROM?
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
Just a heads-up. You can get root by flashing superuser in CWM. Mount system and flash it.

And the ones who got data to work please tell us how. Cheers! Great build!
[Nexus S Android Development] nicholasbgr:
very excited to try it even though I don't think I'll use it as my daily rom. I'm in the process of backing up my stuff now... Do I need to flash netarchy's kernel or it is included in the last beta? If I do need to flash it, which version?

Thanks!

This happened to me, I was messing with the lock screen settings.

If you choose "Configure lock screen" and have it set to Off, there will be no lock screen at all.

You have to have Not Secured selected to show the ICS lock.

Yes, usually, people on xda have news and do not post them unless 5 or 6 people ask...

So please, go on and keep on asking "Are there news about Beta 5, I can't wait"

So, Drew Garen will suddently work faster and release it in 10 minuts!

Also, as you are bumping the thread every X minuts, that's such a pleasure to read every page and see all the new posts that make it a lot of more readable.

I don't think the settings in Google Music are supposed to apply to other apps. The e.q. and such would be in sound on the main phones settings or in an app like DSP Manager if they were meant to apply to other apps. Don't think it is a bug.

[Nexus S Android Development] Kraenesk:
If i'm correct current builds are a port of a port. True sdk port would be made for our device from the ground up.
[Nexus S Android Development] xjomulkerx:
beta 5 true port

WE Scream are based on build 13.. True SDK are based on Build 14.. wich has most of the features if not all of em from ICS.. FaceUnlock and more.. Just diferent platforms..
