Naah. I was on stock 2.3.7 before this and used to listen to YouTube all the time in bus with screen off.

I'm sorry but converting long sms's to mms's is lame and I can't get the messaging app to send mms's (I've checked the apn settings and they're okay), I'm on Vodafone UK.

Also don't know if it has been reported, long press on a thread in the messaging app is an force close.

People that are not doing a complete wipe before updating to new releases of this port are asking for trouble. If you don't do a full wipe, please don't post bugs.

It takes only a few minutes to backup and restore your apps and data, and you get that warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing that you're running a fresh install.
[Nexus S Android Development] falconrulz:
I did a wipe and Market and Youtube work perfectly :)

Google+ gives random FCs
[Nexus S Android Development] raviluke:
How are you backing apps l and reflashing? Titanium backup?
[Nexus S Android Development] Standfest:
Hey guys, does anybody know whether is it possible to remove google search + mic widget from the launcher?
[Nexus S Android Development] freakness51:
has been told in this thread about a hundred times...

gotta use my backup pro/root or anyone you want

titanium doesn't run

edit.

titanium runs but doesn't work properly and gotta restore apps once at time.

my backup works nicely with apps and with data.
[Nexus S Android Development] svtfmook:
its not a widget, it's part of the launcher, you can try installing a different launcher. however, when i installed adw, there was an app drawer and add to homescreen icons in place of the search bar
[Nexus S Android Development] Standfest:
I also thought that it is part of the launcher. Btw, I like this stock launcher and don't want to install any other. I just don't understand google, why I can't disable that google search on the top of homescreens. I almost never using search, and if I wanted such thing I would put google search widget on homescreen. Annoying :mad:
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
I've noticed that on the ICS launch event and on many hands on, the search widget looks different than in this beta. This gives me hope that it may be removable in the full source release. We'll just have to wait and see. It annoys the **** out of me too. Keep in mind though that it is meant to be for a phone with no buttons. Since our Nexus S has a search key that negates the need for a widget, it is just inconvenient.
[Nexus S Android Development] Revin:
It will be great if there will be possibility of placing more icons on the screen instead of search widget. I don't understand why there is always 4x4 icons no matter how big screen you have. I would prefer 5x4 icons at least. But it is not big deal though...
[Nexus S Android Development] sotiris82:
ok installed beta 9 combo without wiping and market and youtube are working great..in the previous beta both force close..gps is also working very accurate for me(dont really use it a lot)..battery life is good..so overall a very good rom for my preferences..great work..
[Nexus S Android Development] mazook98:
Lol, "listening" to youtube instead of buying music, or even importing or dl'ing any mp3's=ghetto as it gets.

Just sayin.

<<bringing it since 2010>>
[Nexus S Android Development] rentaric:
Google's signature feature is "search", that's why it's popping right into your face when starting your phone.

Some ppl prefer live versions of songs, which you really only find on yt.

ok can anyone confirm this,

Exchange email account, when you create a new email and start typing the address and then there is a list of previous email address that appear, if you choose one of them it close the mail app. If you type the complete email address with the keyboard its ok.

gps is stil not working

[Nexus S Android Development] ciwek90:

[Nexus S Android Development] Harshwardhan:
Yes it does. Am on stock 2.3.6 and youtube is playing with screen off.
[Nexus S Android Development] maduuto:
Is it availbe in german, so multi language?

Does unlock via face recognization work?
[Nexus S Android Development] sotiris82:
they dont work very well..it may have force close(i mean the language)..and no the face unlock doesnt work..actually cant wait for it
[Nexus S Android Development] sickzz:
It is multi-language and yes, german works very well. Just the Display-Settings will Force-Close the Settings Menu.
[Nexus S Android Development] raviluke:
I can confirm that gps is working and very accurate. Only the icon is not appearing, that's all. Oh and flash player on browser ain't working either. Nonetheless very fast rom. This is my daily use rom now

i noticed something.. in the bootloader baseband version shows i9020XXKF1, but when i boot up the phone and i go to about phone it says baseband version: i9023XXKF1.

I have the i9023 model. is is maybe because of that that wifi doesn't work with all the betas? very odd that the to baseband versions arent the same.. bootloader says i9020XXKF1 and about phone>Baseband shows i9023XXKF1. :S
[Nexus S Android Development] danduv:
Has anyone gotten Flash working on their phones in beta 9?
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
That's the same bug when using the ICS version of gmail.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
How are you confirming that GPS is working?
[Nexus S Android Development] rentaric:
This is just a display bug in the bootloader menu. It's there forever.

It does in no way influence your wifi.
[Nexus S Android Development] RobbieCrash:
Yes.

However, consider yourself lucky, many people (myself included) can't even configure their account fully.
[Nexus S Android Development] raviluke:
Google maps, poynt and location services on browser are all working.
[Nexus S Android Development] raviluke:
Flash player isnt working. Camera flash is working.
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
I had a very low battery life.. or is that normal..
[Nexus S Android Development] newspeak:
Unless you are getting a lock showing in the GPS status app all you are seeing is assisted GPS ....I believe the needed file is missing based on a tweet I saw from drew ...cell tower location is not good enough for navigation
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
hmm okay.. then its a riddle why it doesn't work for me but for most people.. :(
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
None of those confirm GPS is working. Try navigating somewhere and see if you lock on to any satellites.
[Nexus S Android Development] AllGamer:
or better yet, use an offline GPS app, and see if it works
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
i already did i have IGO and not a single sat to be found

yea disable your data connection and try getting actual GPS lock it wont happen

Can anyone suggest a good Google Tasks app that works with this port? I was using GTasks while on Gingerbread, but it isn't working now. I can place the GTasks widget on the screen, but opening the app to edit settings causes it to FC. I might just use the regular calendar, but tasks seemed to be quicker for simple things.

I somehow deleted my power widget from B9, and when trying to add it back onto one of the home screens, it seems to be stuck on the top row of the screen where the search bar is, thus it always says "no more room on this home screen"

Is there no market included in b9 or am i insane? I've intalled twice, both with full wipes. Had to switch back to cm just to post this!

Either my download is off or I need to fix permissions.

Will try a new download an fixing permissions and report back.

That said, from my breif, confusing time with b9 I did notice that its crazy fast!

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] LKNim:
Don't know if anyone had point this out.

Actually B9 doesn't fix market problem, it just replace the market 3.2.0 with market 3.1.3 which doesn't have FC on B8 too.

Market 3.1.3/3.1.5/3.1.6 works on both B8 & B9

Market 3.2.0/3.3.11 have FCs on both B8 & B9

[Nexus S Android Development] mk86:
I just have one question: Is here someone that has no issues with this rom? I can wipe the hell out of my nexus s but it's still not useable as a daily rom. Don't get me wrong, i really appreciate the work that those developers does, but saying "Could be used as your daily rom" in the first post is not true in my opinion. It's very laggy and still unstable with a few apps installed on it, tried so hard for days now to get this thing working properly but no chance.. I returned to stock for the moment and I will not try this build again. But anyway, thank you so much guys for letting me take a "first look" on ICS that early!!! :)

My little contribution to this ice cream party. Follow these instructions at your own risk. I am not responsible for your fat fingers.

For those of us, like myself, who liked the launcher that would go into landscape and doesn't have the cut off box around the search area.

Pull launcher2.apk out of we scream beta 7. put it somewhere on your sdcard

Using root explorer into sdcard/

press and hold on the launcher2.apk you pulled from beta 7 and then press copy.

hit back once and go to system/app/

hit the mount r/w button

find your current launcher2.apk press and hold on it. select rename. rename it to launcher2.apk.bak

now press paste.

press and hold on the launcher2.apk you just pasted and press permissions

check these boxes only...

owner read write

group read

others read

leave the rest unchecked and press ok.

now reboot your phone and you will have the launcher that will rotate and have a nicer looking search area. but you will not have the fancy animations the newer version has.

Now there may be an easier way to do this but this is the way I just did it and it worked.

Now who wants to be a guinea pig and try and see if this launcher works on gingerbread....

I have a backup from before I was using ICS.

It was running 2.3.7 MIUI, with Whatsapp working fine.

If you have a backup then you can do the same, or create a backup from your current version and temporary reinstall your phone with a 2.3.x version and of course: whatsapp.

from CWM

- create backup

- restore the 2.3.x version

reboot:

- update whatsapp contact list

- copy /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/wa.db to /sdcard with rootexplorer

go back to CWM

- restore ICS backup

- disable sync contacts whatsapp in config screen for accounts sync

- copy wa.db from /sdcard to /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/wa.db

DONE!
