The GPS in beta 9 is listed as working (from what I can see in the first post), but it doesn't work on my GT-i9023.

D/libsecgps( 127): gps_init

E/libsecgps( 127): connectToDaemon: fail in connect() : Connection refused

E/libsecgps( 127): gps_state_init: failed to connect socket /data/gps/secgpsd.socket

Any ideas? Anyone? I need GPS :\

Problem:

Try reflashing, if that doesn't work, redownload the zip and flash again.

Can someone do me a big favor and grab their /data/gps/ folder, zip it up and upload it somewhere? I have nothing but xtra.bin in there, I think I need secgps.conf, secgpsd.socket, idk...

Thanks in advance. :)

Saw a leaked system dump by Paul from Modaco , we are near to a better ICS ROM. I guess ?
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Not necessarily :)

That's just a little bit of additional help possibly, by looking at an actual working (test?) ROM package

from a Galaxy Nexus.

No doubt. I donated a few days ago.
[Nexus S Android Development] LKNim:
This method doesn't work since the problem isn't here, I have figured it out.

In my google account, there are two linked accounts.

xxxxxxxx@gmail.com(I never use its function or to login this)

yyyyy@vista.aero(Always use this)

(x and y are my account names)

In the previous Android version(2.3.7 or earlier), when I login to yyyyy@vista.aero, it will login the xxxxxxxx@gmail.com

But in the ICS, it allows me to login as yyyyy@vista.aero

To solve the problem, what I did is just remove the yyyyy@vista.aero account in my phone manually and login the xxxxxxxx@gmail.com

Then everything go well:D

CAREFUL, ICS removed my smsc number, so i cant send sms even after restoring backup of CM. Cant update it (maybe doing something wrong)

Update: inserted in girlfriends android changed smsc and put sim back. Now works. Haven't tested with ICS rom.

Do you get notifications in the status bar for it?
[Nexus S Android Development] sabaramo:
Is 3G working for anybody not on sprint?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
So I guess I'm the only one that has noticed that this seems like a gingerbread based rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] sabaramo:
You're joking right? Either that or you haven't tried it.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
No I haven't tried it, I've only seen a few videos.

There are a few glaring discrepencies:

-Notification bar, the carrier is in the wrong spot. ICS's carrier label is located on the bottom, not on the top (this is framework)

-Launcher is missing the proper app drawer animations between page, as well as when you reach the limit of the last page. (why would this be changed?)

-Launcher app drawer button is wrong, it's supposed to have a circle around the grid (again, why change this from an SDK port?)

Just making notes, something seems off.

[Nexus S Android Development] :
I have tried it, and it really is ICS. Although it is not based on GB, it is based on the ICS SDK = not the "true" Android 4.0 experience

EDIT:

Was supposed to be an answer to JCopernicus... Damn you, Tapatalk! :P
[Nexus S Android Development] s3ction8:
Please try it then comment. I don't think things like scrollable widgets can just be added to gingerbread. or Full disk encryption for that matter. I do notice things like the font and the notification bar missing some elements but this may be explainable by the fact that it is indeed an emulator port. Someone may be able to better explain this
[Nexus S Android Development] bdpyo:
Thanks, I don't have or want twitter. Lol
[Nexus S Android Development] McDV:
Why not? It's a difference if you port an emulator-build or a phone's one, that actually runs on Galaxy Nexus.

In fact now we have:

1) Fully functional Google-apps

2) The The missing bluetooth-file

3) Maybe even the 4.0-kernel

And finally we surely won't have that mixed-up version anymore! :-)

[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
1) we already had a dump of all the /system/app's from a galaxy nexus from p3droid.

2) the drivers in the dump will be for the galaxy nexus, and for it's hardware

3) the kernel is 3.0.x, and is for the galaxy nexus. there is one floating around from the ebay'd nexus s w/ dev build of ICS on it. but those people never shared it.

What helps from the recent Galaxy nexus dump is all the other files besides /system/apps like the actual framework and UI files that aren't from a sdk.

that's just my guess. I'm not a dev.

Highly doubtful proposition to flash as is.

Nope.
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Correct.

The two (three actually, including Galaxy Nexus) phones are not the same really.

I'm not sure but, there may be some ICS build for the Galaxy S somewhere possibly.

Google should turn it up.

ICS is running great, I have had some random lockups though -- I believe they are related to Titanium Backup...

I can't write a SMS with more than 70 characters (spaces, numbers, etc) it automatically transforms the message to a mms . Why is that?

If someone knows the solution I would appreciate if you share it with me. Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] dskyers:
Let the trolling began
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
That's probably a character encoding issue.

It appears to be taking them as

16-Bit which accepts 70 characters

,

instead of the standard 7-Bit to accept 160 characters. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Android Development] mannas:
Is there any way to change it? Because I'm used to write long messages and people are already pissed of receiving two messages instead of one
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Sorry, am running a different ROM right now, otherwise would have checked to see where it needed the settings updated.

Hopefully, the next update coming some time soon should correct that issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] ademejia:
get this through your heads its a port not a full rom! stop complaining go back to gingerbread.
[Nexus S Android Development] mannas:
thanks anyway. I found a fix. I just changed the language to Portuguese and it lets me write a normal SMS. It isn't the perfect fix because the ui is not prepared for Portuguese language
[Nexus S Android Development] mannas:
It's not about complaining it's about founding the issues in this port so they can be corrected. That's how develop is made
[Nexus S Android Development] daisun:
I don't know if its been posted here yet but an entire Galaxy Nexus system dump is available at MoDaCo. Hopefully it'll help in the development of the ICS port to Nexus S!

The OP should do a better job at keeping the fixes updated like, how the cm7 thread was at one point.

If not someone w/ more time on their hands should take over.

Make a ics bug fixes thread, you know.

For a "play with" ROM it's pretty damn stable and has great battery life imo, I had 1 and a half days on a single charge and I was using it quite frequently.

[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Yeah but until then we can have ICS goodness, well most of ICS's goodness, I won't use this build but it just goes to show what some effort and a good dev can make with just an SDK, I'm pretty impressed since almost all the SDK ports for HC SUCKED, for a SDK port, this ROM is pretty damn stable and too be honest feels slightly better than CM7, like with CM7 I have to add my own tweaks, my custom kernel, but with this ROM, it just works pretty damn good aside from the tiny little bugs that I couldn't care less about.
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Tiny bugs? It has no GPS... don't get me wrong I ran it for 3 days. But corporate mail is unusable, gmail broke to...

Sent from the bowels of Hell by a little green robot. I would include my ROM info but it changes daily! -- Ruffmeister
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
GPS was accurate for me, and locked on pretty fast, I don't use corporate mail and gmail was fine, was using the older version, maybe that's why, market fc'd once in a while and so did other apps, but that happens with CM7 too lol, like it doesn't have MAJOR bugs that I thought it would have, it's pretty much a daily driver, I just don't want to use it too much because I won't be as wow'd by ICS when it's released for the nexus.
[Nexus S Android Development] raviluke:
Thats not gps what you are talking about. Go out in the open where there is no wifi and navigate to an address. It wont work.
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
OOHH Okay, then IDK if that works lol, but I never use that so I guess for me it's pretty much a perfect build, but for others who use those kind of things then I guess this is just a "play around" rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] LKNim:
It works with mobile data, I confirmed this since B2;)
[Nexus S Android Development] pnnorth:
I suspect your work colleagues would be delighted at the prospect of you being unable to access your corporate email ;-)
[Nexus S Android Development] paperecho:
Fuel for the fire here...

I have been using as a daily for a couple of days. Actual gps not working is a bummer as I use my nexus to nav a lot, but other than that its not to bad. Bluetooth not working doesn't matter. If its important enough to actually take a call while on the road then you probably need to pull over anyway. Plus almost every Bluetooth head set I have ever used was garbage in the first place and I have tried the expensive ones. I gladly use this rom over CM7 due to all the bugs CM7 has.

All the custom roms are almost more trouble than what they are worth. Somethings work good on some but other things don't work so well on others. I will be happy when ICS drops so I can just use a rooted stock rom. At least then things will work as they are supposed to and without someone muddling up code.

The fact that Drew has done so well with this port is amazing. Props to him.

This thread amuses me with some of you acting like two year olds and others who do not read through before posting "this doesn't work"
[Nexus S Android Development] niiza:
i wouldnt be concerned, RonnieRuff just likes to annoy =b he's done nothing but complain about this ROM since it came out. if im quoting correctly, he also said he only used the ROM for 3 days. Why even bother complaining about a ROM you dont even use? xD also, no one is expecting this to be a perfect build yet he still keeps complaining about how so many things dont work properly >.< baffles me

I think there needs to be an ignore feature on forums such as this. That way instead of fits of trolling and counter trolling the person with the more apparent maturity could just ignore the other and many issues would never rear their heads.

No you dont have to root. In fact the easiest thing to do would be to put your phone up for sale on ebay. ;)

Ok, now thats out the way

Yes, you need Root. In order to do that take a look at some of the threads that explain how to get root. Do a search, it is easy to find. Put your photos into a 'pictures folder' on the sd card. Or transfer them over to ya PC/Mac just to be on the safe side. Ya wont loose ya apps unless you install a new rom. All root is doing is giving you....erm.....root. Heh. Then you can use titanium and back up.

Now, back to ICS...................
