04 Nov ICL23D - Galaxy Nexus boot / recovery / ... http://t.co/AS8QbqIn

From @modacoandroid

Long days and pleasant nights............
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
This is about to get good
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
Sweet!

Now for some awesome events
[Nexus S General] jkearns05:
After running this rom for a day things seemed to get buggy and laggy. Shortly after I shut the phone off and rebooted it. I am currently stuck on the Google loading screen. I can get into fastboot but for some reason my SD is not mounted, nor can I mount it. Any ideas on how to fix this??
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
hope that doesnt happen to me!!..i just flashed it n im lovin it!!...ur makin me nervous..mite flash bacm n wait for official release
[Nexus S General] jkearns05:
Yea this sucks. No phone at the moment. It was awesome while it lasted
[Nexus S General] kalico17:
Does 4g work?
[Nexus S General] darksideauto:
Gotta have 4g to try it. Lol
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
No.
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
let me know if u get it working n what the problem was
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Running great since last night. Not seeing any issues yet.

Can't wait for the fully themed, customized, and rooted official roms! This and miui will have to tide me over until source is released.
[Nexus S General] Nipit:
hey guys, can nexus s 4g work with gsm carriers?
[Nexus S General] kijp15:
Is there anyway to get ICS rotation animation on Gingerbread? I've been playing with ICS rotation and its pretty crazy. :D
[Nexus S General] stevencpoynter:
Really?
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
ffc for gtalk n skype doesnt seem ti b working for me...anyone else have this issue??
[Nexus S General] symond:
how long before we get official update ?? damn cant wait.. and why they didnt made samsung nexus s 4g world phone >?? i hate changing my phone when i have to travel aboard ..
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
hopefully in the next few weeks...galaxy nexus is set for UK release on 11-17 so b a short time after that
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
when i name my folders...the names dont stay..
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Did you flash 3.5? This happened to me when I first flashed the initial version, but folder names are sticking with 3.5

May need to reflash if you're on 3.5
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
3.5 is much snappier. I am very happy with it. I tried going back to my CM7.1 backup but I just could not stay. I had to flash the 3.5 update.
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
I like it, been running the 3G build for a couple of days now. I'm not happy with it as a daily ROM though, too many FC's and having to run old versions of some Google apps seems counter intuitive to me. I appreciate its been done for stability reasons but it still feels wrong to me....

Also my fav game "Cordy" wont boot when running ICS and my daughter is giving me grief about going back to 2.3.6 stock ROM.

What to do........ :-)
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
It got kinda buggy after a day or so...i flashed back..loved it though
[Nexus S General] clj575:
Not sure if this has been mentioned...i didn't look. Vol down + power= screen capture.
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Yeah, that's been in there since the first release. How do you guys execute a screen cap without the ringer volume slider getting in the way?
[Nexus S General] clj575:
It doesn't on mine
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
It won't capture the ringer slider
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Mine did.
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Dude u have the old version u need to update to 3.5
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
You're right, that's an old screenshot from the previous version - I assumed it functioned the same. I did flash 3.5 the other day, but I'm back on Miui for now... Until we have theming and full functionality of ics.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Lol press power first then volume down.. Silly guys
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
I do, silly guy,but then the damn power menu drops down.

I've never had luck using this type of screen cap. Had the same issue with Miui's version. Too bad the CM7 style isn't used and Shootme appears to be dead.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
Where did you get that power widget from?

And when ICS comes out do y'all think some dev will put out a deodexed version of it merely a couple hours after it's debut for the NS4G?
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Your doing it too slow between power and volume
[Nexus S General] darksideauto:
3.6 current
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
Oh whats new in 3.6?
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
The thing I notice was the notification pull down works fully now.
[Nexus S General] :
Interesting comment. I tend to think of XDA as, more or less, a giant sausage fest. (No offense to any ladies reading.) If I may ask? How old is she? What are her impressions of ICS? Does she have any experience with WP7.5 or iOS5? I value her opinion because, obviously, she's different than the normal XDA member.

If this is too personal the mods can certainly delete this comment and carry on.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
I wonder when we are going to get face unlock.
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
Hi there,

She's 10, has an iPhone which was handed down to her by my wife who gets free iPhone's from her employer and is now running a 4S.

She always ask's me if she can borrow my phone to play games rather than use her own so that must be a positive for Android and the NS. As for ICS she loved the new colours/home screen etc but as soon as her fav game didn't boot then it had to go - lol.

I'm holding out now for the official ROM.......
[Nexus S General] :
10 years old. Just amazing. The difference between when I was that age and the world today? I wonder what happens in 20 more years?

Appreciate the reply, she sounds like a great kid.
[Nexus S General] mikerowes69:
STATUS

I been hesitant to jump to ICS with pros and cons up front. I use my Nexus S for Work, personal and development. So work wise it is important my phone stay up and working. I noticed there have been some on going updates but never any edits on the 1st page with a change log. If someone wouldn't mind posting pro's and con's, you know what is working and does not work with the latest update. Thanks alot.

Like PRO'S:

Like CON'S:
[Nexus S General] decalex:
Do you have android sdk installed?

U said it wouldn't boot into recovery? Battery out, hold volume up and power for few seconds, etc.

But do tell if u have sdk set up and u can try to see what the issue is.

. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
[Nexus S General] decalex:
If you're using for work, I definitely wouldn't rely on it as a daily driver.. Just because it is an alpha. The cons for me were obv, no 4G, some buggy UI stuff, occasional reboots. Actually pretty awesome for an sdk based rom, but couldn't hang as a daily driver.

I'm sure we'll get the official relatively soon.. Probably worth the wait.

. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
[Nexus S General] nailbomb3:
I'll have to say, I'm pretty impressed.

cm9 is going to be killer.
[Nexus S General] jaestreetss:
+10. Ics on my ns4g makes me second think about getting the galaxy nexus.....I mean what CANT this phone do? We still surpass ios NO MATTER WHAT.

#TeamAndroid
[Nexus S General] clj575:
I use ics alpha as a daily with no issues receiving calls, text, internet, random reboots etc. Everything you basically need is available... and works.
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
What do you mean by "fully works"? My pull down seemed fine with 3.5 and below. Flashed 3.6 this morning and it seems identical.
[Nexus S General] decalex:
No, not for me-- Depends on use- I use 4G and NFC (google wallet) pretty much daily, so that's one of the dealbreakers at the moment. Both are not working as a limitation of building from the SDK. Generally, my 3G speeds are pretty bad. (due to area), so 4G helps where I get it.

. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
Hw acceleration?
[Nexus S General] theratdude64:
I played with this a while ago before, but decided to give it another shot now that it is showing that the file you download to get root back is no longer necessary. But now when I flash it still doesn't let me gain root access, anything I'm doing wrong? I mainly just want to restore a Titanium backup.

Nm, got it working, found the root and theme.zip. There isn't as much work on this right now as I hoped there would be :( But still AWESOME :) Can't wait to see this more stable.
[Nexus S General] jaestreetss:
I wish face recognition worked.

I tried buying the app *facelock. N it doesn't work ....
[Nexus S General] kijp15:
Search Visidon in the market, its pretty good. I use it and it works quite while.
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
I wanted to try out the lock screen with visidon buy I want to hold off in buying it because it will come in the ice cream update.
[Nexus S General] jaestreetss:
Tried both visidon n facelock.

IMHO they work kind of slow for my taste but the visidon works bettr than f.lock
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
Did you get the paid version or the free?
[Nexus S General] jaestreetss:
Paid version of visidon
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
I have a buddy that has an

22 month old that can use a g1 and an ipad like no one's business. Kids these days.
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
i briefly used 3.2 is 3.6 much more awesome?
[Nexus S General] slacker76:
Has anyone had any luck getting Titanium backup or flash to work on this rom?
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
No

10char
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
It worked for me if I did the backup from the ROM itself
[Nexus S General] theratdude64:
I restored a Titanium Backup successfully, duno bout flash though. I'm back on Gingerbread for now though, not stable enough for my liking :( The Menu key not working on home screen drives me up the wall
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
I don't think the menu key should work ?
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
it does Work
[Nexus S General] tylerwatt12:
Menu key does not work on the launcher because the GN does not have a menu key in the launcher, however. If an application requires a menu key, your dedicated button will work fine. It's not even a bug, just a software difference
[Nexus S General] katmandu421:
From reading the OS review on gizmodo it sounds like we are missing a shortcut to setting in the notification shade. Having that in the final release will help out . For now i just leave a setting shortcut on one of the screens i dont use for anything else. The new folders realy help tidy up my screens, so much that im only using one screen.
[Nexus S General] jpalo:
Why say "full working" in the subject when it clearly is NOT?

Argh!
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
You know folders been there for a while right? And the only thing they did different was adding the way you make then by dragging app on top of another app like iOS 4
[Nexus S General] katmandu421:
Yes but they were ugly and clumsy to manage.
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Mm I don't see how is clumsy but OK , anyways I'm trying this builds so far is workijg good definetely more polished :) love the new keyboard
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
why the thread says that it is a full version if it is not?
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
People need to disregard this thread and rom anyway, since functional, actual aosp roms were released. No reason to run these sdk ports anymore.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Works fantastic I love it
[Nexus S General] shibby80:
works great so far i like it
[Nexus S General] Royvin:
Downloading now, wow hope it works well.
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
wow that is smooth
[Nexus S General] 8notime:
In the time it took you to create this post you could have been registered, downloading, and hitting the thank you button.

On wifi.

FCC is just a grey screen...will post more but all I can say is wow.
[Nexus S General] Royvin:
Yeah I played with it and wow works great now I need sleep lol

Just register on the site they actually have a pretty good site there as well. It's nice to mix it up ya never know what you might find on another site. Hence this rom. Hope ya get to try it out thought buddy. It was pretty nice to get a little sneak peak.
[Nexus S General] faizalmzain:
i can't wait for nexus S version
[Nexus S General] DtownJeff:
Flashed, played with and backed up Beezy's ICS. It is really worth the time to try it. Back on Bugless Beast getting ready for work. Can't wait to show the guys at the office. This is what makes Android so great, along with the devs that work so hard to make roms and keep us all coming back for more. Thank you all.

[Nexus S General] adamw1101:
Can anyone comment on if this is daily driver material.
[Nexus S General] bfroehlich:
http://www.droiddoctors.net/jbeezy/htdocs/ICS/ICS-update-test-works-2.zip

imho, it is fine for a daily driver. it is a little laggy compared to 2.3.7, but that's to be expected. other little quirks too, like my menu button doesn't work on the home screen....
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
It's several member who post they think it a daily driver minus wifi & Bluetooth. Which are two biggie for me.
[Nexus S General] RushAOZ:
So just wifi and Bluetooth don't work? I can make do without those. This is awesome! Battlefield 3 and an ics leak?? Can you say cream dream? Now if only this thing could make me breakfast..

sent from my Touchwiz'd Nexus S 4g
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Wifi works. Didnt pair to anything for bluetooth
[Nexus S General] Royvin:
Yeah wifi seems to be working fine I was to lazy this morning to try syncing the bluetooth with the car will try this afternoon after work but so far yeah this will definately work for a daily until we get the real ICS but its been stable and no force closes yet.. Amazing job.:D
[Nexus S General] adamw1101:
Anyone test the GPS? Also do you flash it like a regular rom if you're on 2.3.7?
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Check out the Vid..
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
GPS worked great. For some this will work as a daily. Regardless of even that it's worth the download, trust.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Its the launcher that makes the menu button not work. I tried the xda icecream launcher included in iceandfire's rom and the menu button works on home screen.
[Nexus S General] formula84:
Can custom GB Kernels be used with this or do you have to stick with the kernel it includes? Does it seem to have hardware accel?

Also what does this mean?

Working

-3G audio doesn't work
[Nexus S General] scott420:
yea wifi doesnt work yet ill wait it out
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Wifi was working for me. Set sleep policy to never.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
I don't think the homescreen is supposed to have menu that button is missing on the new nexus and no lag here. Wi-Fi works here I saw somewhere for those that don't work uncheck wifi connectivity in advanced menu
[Nexus S General] formula84:
Anyone able to get root access? I updated SU from Market and tried updating the Binary but it failed.
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Hmmm... go to college... or stay home and test this ROM... dammit, I'm gonna have to wait like 7 hours to test this thing :D
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
NFC not working so wallet won't work unless I'm missing something. Not a big deal just didn't see it posted anywhere about it.

But so far so good...

I can't seem to gain root access either...that sux...
[Nexus S General] blueluck77:
I can't access youtube videos at work. Is there a specific way to turn on 4G?
[Nexus S General] Rooster85:
Fantastic so far, can't wait to see what's in store with an official update

Sent from my IcecreamSammich Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
Is hardware acceleration working?

Probably the only thing really of worth to me to flash this thing.

Wondering what this means.

Audio isn't under the "not working" list.

Somebody care to share whether audio works?
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
I suppose its "stable" now.

Somebody just made another thread for it.

What I got from it is that NFC and FFC don't work.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
wondering the same thing but audio works just fine for me. Don't know about HA but damn the smoothest rom I've ever had so I imagine yes.
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:
My FFC works fine!
[Nexus S General] superradrudeboy:
This rom is incredibly smooth and great. Only one problem with stock "google voice" kept force closing, however there was an update in the market for it which remedied the problem. Also, it appears there is no root access yet. Others confirmed on android central.
[Nexus S General] bfroehlich:
I have root. Just flash su again and install from the market. Update the binary if needed and you're golden
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
broke root for me . Can't seem to get it back . Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] blueluck77:
So 4G isn't working yet?
[Nexus S General] formula84:
with what app?
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
thanks this fixed my issue. Works now.
[Nexus S General] hp420:
flash this for root:

http://www.mediafire.com/?v8tna418ab9da90
[Nexus S General] lilmexx:
Where is the su.zip to be flashed located? Any links?
[Nexus S General] rrevenge:
it says it has no root access :/ works awesome tho. but it feels like it has some HC flavor to it
[Nexus S General] formula84:
I re flashed SU.zip then updated via the market and opened the app went to update the Binary and got the following as i did the first time....

Checking installed version = legacy

downloads custom busybox and new binary, checks MD5 sum and fails on Gaining root access...

Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Thanks ill give this a shot
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
Alrighty ! That did the trick . Thank you sir !
[Nexus S General] Techno Droid:
can everyone do me a favor and post work arounds and thoughts also on his thread at android central. thanks. i love this rom and cant wait for the final release. lets him out so we could speed things up.

ITS NOT THAT HARD TO REGISTER PPL. IM REGISTERED ON ALL SITES FOR ANDROID. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TOO.:cool:
[Nexus S General] blackroseimmortal09:
Some of the icons like the phone app isn't ICS, the clock in the notification bar is supposed to be blue, and the signal symbol doesn't look right
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
That's what was reported in the other thread.

What app were you using, as I suppose people were just using the stock Camera app to check.

EDIT: I just flashed and checked. It is indeed working.

Flash for root:

http://www.mediafire.com/?v8tna418ab9da90
[Nexus S General] symond:
when will google will release the update for nexus s ??? official update ?? after nov. 10 ??

i hope sprint doesnt get thier butts in this one n dont delay other wise they like thier butt to be kicked in everything
[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
What recovery are you guys using? I can't get it to flash using RZrecovery
[Nexus S General] formula84:
So after flashing this i got root working but Titanium just hangs when trying to do a restore of any app i have... anyone have any ideas, anyone try titanium yet?
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
What recovery is that? Lol.

Use CWM.
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
All updates for the Nexus line come from Google. Sprint won't mess with the ICS deploy for the Nexus S 4G.
[Nexus S General] Caballero777:
if anything just add the Radio files for wimax and such.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
So far it's sick! I already configured it my liking, will likely keep it for a at least a couple of days. Since it has no root access does that mean we have to root again in order to flash a backup or something?
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
Is it just me or is anyone else's sync constantly going. In my notification bar its been showing its syncing all day now...
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Just flash the zip
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
There is root access -

Flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?v8tna418ab9da90
[Nexus S General] rrevenge:
yeah i just rooted it. i like it! but the HC clock font bugs me lol. i tried changing the font to roboto. it changes most of it but the clock lol. can anyone get ahold of the final launcher?
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
Does the NFC work for you guys?

I click on it but it doesn't do anything. Or am I missing something?

Another issue I've noticed is that my sync is constantly going in my notification bar. Is that normal because I don't remember it happening before?
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
Not sure if NFC works. I haven't tried it.

May want to do a search in the AC thread.

EDIT: Just searched and it's been reported that it NFC is not functional, yet.
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
Mine has not been doing that. Check your accounts to see what's syncing.
[Nexus S General] lilmexx:
Same thing here. I have found that if you get the app from the market you can then restore data, but a lot of apps i have are not from the market and I am not having any luck getting data restored.
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:
stock camera app.
[Nexus S General] hp420:
Titanium didn't work for me either. I had to extract all the apks from my backup folder and install them all manually...then for apps like angry birds I copied the data files over with root explorer so I didn't lose my gamesaves ;)
[Nexus S General] hp420:
NFC isn't working

for some reason titanium doesn't either.
[Nexus S General] zeeraf:
okay so just out of curiosity , has anyone tried to use any widgets other that one the ones that came with the rom ??? i used TB to restore my fancy widget but it does wok ... it shows up in the apps but not as a widget
[Nexus S General] snoopy1e11:
I use astro it works
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
Wish I could restore my texts and call logs.

Tried using TB and got FC's on messaging.
[Nexus S General] shabgard:
Its perfect for the daily driver iv been using it for almost 18 hours since last night,

and do yourself a favor dont play with the encryption security option, I had to learn it the hard way.

AUDIO WORKS

3G WORKS

WIFI WORKS

NO NFC

NO BT
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
If you have root use quick boot to boot into recovery.
[Nexus S General] unomedmen1:
Will try this as soon as I get off work lol. Thanks guys for keeping the personal experiences with this port going.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Can someone post the browser.apk please
[Nexus S General] zeeraf:
has anyone been able to use any widgets thats were not included with the rom ??? i used tb to restore my fancy widget , it shows on the apps page but i cant use it as a widget ....... loving this port , works really smooth for me , just miss my weather /clock widget .... any suggestions ???
[Nexus S General] hp420:
yeah, most work for me.

Handcent isn't working...anyone having success with it?
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
I'm having 3G problems. The rom is stable performance wise and wifi works fine. But for whatever reason my apn settings don't show up in settings. I even restored to the stock rooted back up and copied the apn settings from the stock rooted settings and manually put em in and still can't get 3G. I'm using an AT&T Nexus S i9020a. If anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:
All my 3rd party Widgets work like Beautiful Widgets, Facebook, Twitter, and every other widget that worked in Gingerbread.
[Nexus S General] zeeraf:
okay so maybe ill just have to try something other than fancy widget
[Nexus S General] zeeraf:
guess i will have to try beautiful widget then .... or maybe its cause i have the cracked version of fancy widget (v3.2) and the market version is up to 3.4... thanks for the response
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
Try this link. I don't know if I did it correctly.

http://db.tt/AHObckmh
[Nexus S General] Jeremiah239:
No problem, good luck!
[Nexus S General] hp420:
beautiful widgets works for me :)
[Nexus S General] mikel719:
Delete please
[Nexus S General] godiZFICTION:
+Thanks for this

Rom is smooth no FC's over here. Stable for every day use imo. Thanks OP for the links. Too bad with the timing though, using my upgrade tomorrow.
