Can someone please help me? I have a sprint ns4g and when the rom boots I can't use the phone itself or 3g, tried adding apn and it force closes.....Love ICS but want to be able to make calls instead of it saying no service:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] oracleicom:
Is anyone else experiencing reboots? This seems to happen to me quite often if I open and transition to too many apps. It's almost as if the Launcher runs out of memory and forces the phone to reboot. Also I'm noticing that my battery is draining a lot more than usual. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nexus S Android Development] irockstar661:
This is working near flawless for me. Now just need someone to inject voodoo and amp up the clocking speed.

same issue, been lurking, trying suggestions all day.

copying over the apn-confs.xml files from a working NSG4 with GB doesn't do anything either.

Restored my old backup for the moment.. definitly not for everyday-use in my opinion. many fc's and network gets lost very often.. i need to turn on and off airplane mode to get ig running again.. :/

but thanks again for your work guys!

I was downloading, then read this. Cancelled the download at 40%.
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
You should try for yourself. It works great for me. User experience varies.
[Nexus S Android Development] nearblack:
yeah, if you're looking for a daily driver, then you're outta luck. But DEFINITELY worth playing around with for a couple hours.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Why did you cancel it?

I haven't even had a single force close with this version.

And I definitely use it as a daily driver.

another new beta will come soon with Apns are now included In ics beta, apps are updated, nfc and Bluetooth is being worked on. Launcher is faster.

Trying to get used to all the new little things that this build brings. The only annoyances besides the Whatsapp not reading the names (maybe a People hub issue) are the system not remembering folder names thus resetting their names to blank and the font size also resetting to Normal (which for us would be a LARGE size by all means.

It shows that it needs a larger screen. Several layouts tend to be overblown.

All in all, excellent chance to test drive this awesome milestone in Android. :-) thanks a lot.

[Nexus S Android Development] apreichner:
For those having issues with APNs, very simple fix that really should be included in the GSM version of this rom.

Push the apns-conf.xml file i provided to /system/etc and reboot. You should have all of the necessary APNs.

If you don't know how to push files with adb, google it, you'll need it for the rest of your Android days.

If you have more troubles with 3G, replace these files in the new rom with ones from a gsm rom.

/system/lib/libril.so

/system/lib/libsecril-client.so

/system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so

Then make sure you have modified the build.prop to remove any ECC values or sprint as the network type and remove wimax references. Also make sure ro.telephony.default_network=0 and not 4.

I don't know how many of these changes are in the OP's download link as I ported the rom over from the NS4G. (^^ is about all you have to do to port a NS4G rom to GSM^^) I have no 3G issues and it is actually pretty stable. I hope this helps somebody.
[Nexus S Android Development] mk86:
have you played a little bit with the settings-menu? there were random fc's the most.. also it is after installing a few apps damn laggy on my nexus s in my opinion.. definitly very cool to see whats coming next, but missing whatsapp syncing, missing bluetooth etc, these small flaws all together are anyoing me very much... :(
[Nexus S Android Development] moviemanjeff1012:

hi guys!

what about this video on engadget http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/ice-cream-sandwich-gets-a-two-minute-tour-courtesy-of-a-lucky-e/?

There's an ICS perfectly running on our nexus S,updated to 3.0 kernel too!
[Nexus S Android Development] l1zart:
old news, Google deleted the os remote.

look at the date ;-)

but tnx anyway :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
That was a leaked dev build that got sold on ebay. it was remotely wiped. There are a few guys that have the kernel from it, but won't share it... not sure if it would boot with the SDK ports, but it would be fun to at least try.
[Nexus S Android Development] touchpro247:
That dump is from the sdk fyi.

If it was from the Galaxy Nexus we would have a lot more things working.
[Nexus S Android Development] l1zart:
hmm then they have it wrong at android central

I've worked on the files provided here and sdcard is now enabled:

I tried to fix the touchscreen by using a custom .idc file but it doesnt work currently.

Best wishes,

Tim
[Nexus S Android Development] touchpro247:
This is what I've done so far.

I have the pointer working without the circle and navigation.

It's still working on a two point system, as you can see in the first pic. It shows the location of my fingers when touching the screen.

You have to keep pressing down on the screen w/ one finger and select with a different one.

Don't worry guys we'll get this port up to speed, as long as everyone keeps contributing.

I have attached my mxt224_ts_input.idc for those who want to work on it more.

I hope this helps!

Update:
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Has anyone put together a boot.img with a stock kernel yet? Anyway, I don't think the problem with the touchscreen resides in the idc files. I have got the system loading the SGX540 libs, and the system complains about an EGL lib that is bad namely a display lib.

[Nexus S Android Development] touchpro247:
I don't think anyone has. My Kitchen won't repack it, I don't have gcc installed. Working w/ windows.
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
Same issue I had with my hc port. No boot images I repacked would boot. What I did was compile an aosp kernel from source and fastboot the zimage. But since then, my Linux partition got corrupted, lost everything and been too busy to set my dev environment back up . If I get some time on Wednesday night ill take a crack at it. I do believe that will really help us

do you guys need a boot.img with the stock kernel? i could have one posted in like 5 mins...

btw i had it booting with the stock 2.3.7 kernel, so i know it works.

No Cell Service on Sprint Nexus S 4G

I just flashed the b3 and while it works really well (it's pretty smooth, almost everything works), I can't get any cell service. When I go to set the APNs, I can add one but it force closes whenever I try to save it.

Also, I'm not getting any WiFi connectivity here at work; I'll try with my home router later.

Nexus S 4G on Sprint.

Yep, it is. I was pretty happy to see this as well.

Why is the Android Market not allowing me to download any applications? I'm not really hearing much about this issue...

I really wanted to use this ROM for a while.

Click and hold down in the wifi area and the networks pop up.
[Nexus S Android Development] irockstar661:
I don't understand any of the problems people are getting. My experience has been great so far with no random reboots no force closes market working properly and 3g service fine (once I changed apn).

Maybe a fresh install for you all.?

[Nexus S Android Development] Deus_eps_machina:
See now that's weird. I tried it on beta 2 and 3 and it didn't work at all. It would backup the apps in 2 and 3 but it wouldn't restore anything (batch or single) from nscolab.

[Nexus S Android Development] Tweakyth13f:
try other radios for your model, see if that helps, i know flashing around different radios helped me get a somewhat reliable cell connection, no reliable 3G as of yet, but its still a beta
[Nexus S Android Development] moviemanjeff1012:
I know its for nexus S 3g but it should work for sprint minus the 4g right? I could care less bout the 4g as it never works near me anyway....just want a version of ICS where I can make a phone call not just use wifi

Yea i flashed kf1 over kd1, but with no luck..
[Nexus S Android Development] nearblack:
any news on a different kernel running this sucker?
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
This particular thread is for the Nexus S GSM (3G) version only.

I highly doubt if this ROM (by DrewGaren) will work on the Sprint Nexus S 4G.

The original ROM -that he has based it on- is for your phone.

Calling this ROM Nexus S 3G does

not

actually mean it will work at 3G speeds

on the Sprint Nexus S 4G at all.
[Nexus S Android Development] raviluke:
Great rom. It is kinda stable but the accelerometer isn't working properly. You cannot play games in landscape which uses the accelerometer, for example car racing games. Also, there are quite a few force closes and the radio isn't stable. Not yet there for daily use, but for now I will stick to my stock gingerbread because an official update coming within a few weeks.
[Nexus S Android Development] Tweakyth13f:
Try every one, see if they all reproduce the same effect, had to test all 8 radios on my phone myself last night to see which was best.

overall, a very nice experience on this rom! Thank you very much to HAKA and those who helped out.
[Nexus S Android Development] Tweakyth13f:
under the menu, select widgets at the top, and than just press and hold a widget and it should go to the home screen.

i'm a huge fan of the grid that comes up when dragging icons and whatnot around

Also, I'm spending WAY to much time in this thread while at work
[Nexus S Android Development] tanclo:
thank you sir.. i got it ..

but a lot of the apps including agenda widgets, doesn't work yet :-(

no problem.. i'm still sticking with this rom. it's simply too nice.

I keep finding more stuff thats new and love it.
[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:

[Nexus S Android Development] nicknowsky:
its buggy, it probably isnt the best bet for a daily ROM, theres gonna be quirks and crap. i mean we're gonna be the absolute FIRST to get the official update in like 2-3 weeks. its not an official build for our device
[Nexus S Android Development] Deus_eps_machina:
Oh no, absolutely, I'm not complaining, just reporting.

Its a pretty good daily if you ask me...FCs we get all the time in other ROMs so the ones we're getting with this port aren't too bad.

I think people need to take it as it is...a preview to what we will have in a few weeks and just that.
[Nexus S Android Development] h46it:
If you guys are wondering how good the battery life in Beta 3 i've taken a screenshot. Seems quite good to me, i've could have had close to 16hrs if i didn't download apps in the morning before work.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
What I really can't wait for is to see what devs are going to do with it. Now that's exciting! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] poid:
tried the feature where you reject a call and send an SMS, didnt work. Has anyone else had success with it? (i could just be retarded).

Battery looks to be OK. It was draining pretty heavily this morning but that was the messaging app keeping it awake trying to download an MMS. Since i FC'ed that its been pretty good, seems about as good as the gingerbread setup i was using before (where i had some battery saving apps going ie turning off the 3G radio).

The radio doesnt seem to use as much power, but i'll ahve to make that assessment over a long time period. 8.5hrs down i'm sitting on 68% battery.
