BUG:

when i want change contact picture, load faild if i select picture from picasa

Gallery crash random times...
[Nexus S Android Development] RieGo:
i tested it, and it should work. was the same problem with cm a while ago. i didn't make any tests or benchmarks. but there shouldn't be a problem when you delete the file.
[Nexus S Android Development] djsonar:
I backed up the folder first and deleted the file after

It seemes smoother.

Might be placebo
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
Seems much smoother. On another note is Facebook sync not working for anyone? No luck for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
Nope I did this, wiped dalvik cache and rebooted. It runs so much better. Transitions are so much cleaner and smoother.
[Nexus S Android Development] TealLeader:
Facebook isn't working on my device either.

[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
So to test the battery, I left my phone off the charger yesterday with these parameters:

-Wifi on

-Wifi sleep policy set to "never"

-Only Gmail sync

-Battery was at 67%

Went to bed at 3am and woke up at 9:30. When I got up in the morning, to my surprise, the battery was at 65%. Only draining 2% through 6 and a half hours was shocking to me. It could be an anomaly or something so I'll try it again tonight. Anyone else with the same observations?

On another issue, has anyone here observed that "mediaserver" on the battery usage breakdowns is fairly high on the list? Usually it's 3rd after Screen and Android System and I never listen to music or anything. On GB ROMs, this was either never on the chart at all or it was very little. Can anyone think of a fix that may make battery even better?
[Nexus S Android Development] daandman:
Facebook sync was removed from the Nexus S a while ago, apparently (I asked the same question). It's not the ROM, that's Google.
[Nexus S Android Development] derrell1978:
Been running this ROM for three days and I love it. However my 3G speeds have tanked since flashing. Anyone else have slow download speeds. T-Mobile
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
This has been true since 2.3.2 I believe? I posted a link to this in this thread. The Nexus S was the first device to have Facebook sync yanked from it.
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
No worries. Once the source roms start rolling they will fix it.
[Nexus S Android Development] omlet:
can you fix langages?
[Nexus S Android Development] daandman:
Been running beta 4 since it was released & it's been running great, but has been lagging & force-closing like crazy of late. Back to GB I go until beta 5 comes out.
[Nexus S Android Development] ferromax:
After I delete those files, phone stops booting. There isn't even boot animation. Wiping everything doesn't help.

Probably this is not as safe as it seems to be.
[Nexus S Android Development] sirius b:
I moved this file to root folder, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik cache, fixed permissions and rebooted. Got hung up on the first boot so I rebooted again and it's fine for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
Did you delete the wrong file? This is actually nothing new as witnessed by these long threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264519

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17070372#post17070372

While I'm skeptical of any real performance enhancements, I don't believe it's unsafe. I have done it without issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
It usually depends on your current setup. I have seen it go both ways depending on the way everything was configured.
[Nexus S Android Development] RieGo:
I guess you deleted the wrong "files" it's only one file. You can fix it by reflashing the rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] ferromax:
Thanks for the links! Well I'm pretty sure I deleted right files.. Could be because I was deleting them, not copying/renaming.. After reboot button LEDs are lit, black screen, nothing happens, only way to reboot is battery out. Tried several times, - same effect.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Aha! So you don't have to delete egl.cfg! That's my bad then, I deleted both files.

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus S Android Development] anirudh.pullela:
You might've deleted some other files too. I just made another folder inside system/lib/egl and cut and paste the libgles_android.so file into that. Booted fine for me.

Its amazingly smooth now compared to how it was before!

Edit : I hadn't refreshed the page while I was doing all that so didn't see all the other replies. Seems like I overloaded on the topic. Sorry. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] maciejb84:
Weather update isn't working automatically in weather and news. At least when I set it to update every 15 min
[Nexus S Android Development] TonyHoyle:
I got an apparent improvement by pushing the files from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057498

Of course it's all subjective.. I found deleting the GL files made it seem a bit slower.

Edit: OK attempting to make it more objective (these are all low scores for a nexus S, but given the experimental nature of the build that's to be expected):

As shipped... Quadrant score 1354

With libGLES_android removed.. Quadrant score 1334

With extra GL files Quadrant score .. Quadrant score 1344

Soo.. I was wrong - adding the extra files does nothing at all - but deleting files does nothing either, since those numbers are probably close enough to be within experimental error.
[Nexus S Android Development] maciejb84:
A bug?:

Sometimes screen rotate isn't working and only after restart everything is fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kpyto:
I'm reboot my Nexus four time since deleting, anything ok, are you delete the right file?

libGLES_android.so (only one! only this file!) in /system/lib/egl directory.

I'm not noticed the biggest Quadrant scores with and without this file, but the "Black hole" live wallpaper is not "bugging" without the libGLES_android.so, and sometime accidentally stopped with it. There are my observation only.
[Nexus S Android Development] ale.landra91:
OTHERS BUG OF BETA 4:

1) superposition of wifi, g and reception icon on notification bar (also when you turn on the phone wifi is on the reception bars)

2) what do you see through the camera sometimes shine

3) long time lapse video cause force close of camera app, short video not

4) sometimes, once or twice a hour I lose all mobile connection for some seconds

5) sometimes problem of adapting pages on browser so you can t read everything and the display also "shine"

6) no sound when you regolate the alarm volume in settings

7) some minor problems when you have to choose the options for the alarms in the clock app (some button doesn't work)

(8 some lag on homescreen)

9) volume bar sometimes in screen shoot (I think is better to open the volume bars some second after...but I think is a google problem and not of custom rom)
[Nexus S Android Development] Kpyto:
Confirmed, but sometime fixed without restart, just start some landscape application (like Camera) several times.
[Nexus S Android Development] macca118:
Cool, thanks I'll give it a go
[Nexus S Android Development] Kpyto:
:) Maybe this is only our both imagination?
[Nexus S Android Development] Roland27:
beta 5 coming tonight or tomororw?
[Nexus S Android Development] Loggerhead87:
Voice dictation doesn't work within the google docs app, but it works fine with the XDA app.
[Nexus S Android Development] Linus_BE:
DrewGaren said this weekend on his website.
[Nexus S Android Development] Deus_eps_machina:
I wonder if we can somehow get the launcher from the sdk and use it on GB. Is that possible?
[Nexus S Android Development] funkyblue04:
Is this based on a leak or the SDK?
[Nexus S Android Development] Tweakyth13f:
This is based off the SDK and beezy's build for the Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
1 hour to go at work, time to take some screenshots. I like the smaller icons when using dock folders.

Can't wait for beta 5, hopefully tonight.
[Nexus S Android Development] tommi00:
Bugreport:

The settings app FC's if the phone is set to German language and you choose the display settings...

In English it works fine..
[Nexus S Android Development] greenfrogz:
Just to check, is anyone else having problem with nfc in b4? It was working for me in b3, but I can't enable it in b4. Logcat is showing me driver update failed.
[Nexus S Android Development] Tweakyth13f:
NFC didnt work in b3 for me, b4 it works just fine

Still can't get google wallet working in ICS tho, just force closes
[Nexus S Android Development] maciejb84:
same to me, works in b4, not in b3

and i also can't make wallet to work

edit:

also with polish letters in words in sms app, it's converting to mms after 3 sms count
[Nexus S Android Development] greenfrogz:
Thanks for the feedback. That's weird. What model of phone are you guys using? Mine is i9023, could that be a problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] maciejb84:
mine is also 9023
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
What is the day today? I'm in different time zone

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
hehe, it's Friday October 28th here in California. 5:24pm.
[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
Sms thing is a feature, not a bug.

NFC never work on beta 3,but it works on beta 4. Drew clearly stated in changelog.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
guys i'm helpless.. tried all the available radios for my i9023, cant get wifi to work.

it turns on but doesnt list any network (beta4) :(
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
A few page back written the guide. Forgotten. About go into advance and bla bla bla.

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Nexus S Android Development] maciejb84:
but can i disable that converting to mms?
[Nexus S Android Development] Tweakyth13f:
probably not, i mean sending a text that's 3 messages long, might as well write an email at that point anyways, wrapping it into an MMS shouldnt have any adverse affects assuming your sending it to someone who has a phone made in the last two years thats not a complete dumb phone
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
thanks but can you post the link please? i read from 120 to 129 but didnt see it.

but do you mean to disable conectivity checks? i did that and it didnt work :(
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Forgotten. I just remembered on WiFi, switch off something, then it will work.

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Nexus S Android Development] Tweakyth13f:
thats to fix the wifi overlay issue, thegtfusion has been having radio problems since b3

At this point i would just flash back to cm and accept that ICS hates your phone atm, and try beta5 or a later rom build eventually
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Yeppp thats my conclusion too.i really hope that beta 5 workssss fine. For now ics hates my phone yeahh.. :$
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
Anyone using this as a daily?
[Nexus S Android Development] Deus_eps_machina:
I used it as a daily for a dayish...there are a few issues I can't work with like lack of accurate GPS and the lack of voodoo colour controls. Sooooo...went back to GB.

But again...is there a way to grab the SDK launcher for GB Roms?
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Even if there was I'm sure it would be just as buggy as the rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] xsteven77x:
Checking hourly for beta 5!
[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
i'm using it as daily driver since beta3 but then i have nexus one as second phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] djsonar:
I do

I tryed miui, But the browser killed it for me
[Nexus S Android Development] RobbieCrash:
I'm using it as daily, not many issues. Email doesn't work for me (Exchange 2010), problems with the GUI of setting APNs (FC, but the APN gets set), Gmail contacts/Contacts in general weirdness that has been mentioned. But, it's more stable than CM7.1 was on my phone, so I'm not going back.
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
Ditto. It is so nice to not have radio dumps and random boot loops. This rom should be a beast once we have full source code.
[Nexus S Android Development] king23adrianc:
UPDATE: beta 5 soon, still working on true sdk port
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Does anyone know the advantages of a true sdk port over the sdk 13 port?
[Nexus S Android Development] Enhanced:
I wonder if "soon" means today.
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
fingers crossed.
[Nexus S Android Development] king23adrianc:
final build of ICS is based on sdk 14
[Nexus S Android Development] twistedumbrella:
That is going to make it harder because all of the sdk apps look for a minimum setting of 14 and using libs and such ported from 13 won't take as easily.

I am still stuck with no touchscreen on thunderbolt, so I haven't really done a lot with that aspect yet.
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Just installed beta 4. It is very smooth compare to beta 3. yeah, a lot better than beta 3 too.
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
Just searched through the thread for a bit and didn't see anyone saying they got BLN working, even flashing other kernels. So no BLN possible with ICS, is that right?
[Nexus S Android Development] Deus_eps_machina:
That's not what it means, it just means the dev hasn't gotten to that yet. Let him focus on getting a port with full functionality then after custom kernels for BLN and voodoo
[Nexus S Android Development] YourMainDude:
O.o anyone have a wifi mark on there 3G? I'll take a screen show and show it
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
I meant not possible as a user atm, not a developer :) Just curious before I jump over from Brainmaster's MIUI. Good to know.
[Nexus S Android Development] the_trade_place:
Its been noted
[Nexus S Android Development] YourMainDude:
=\ anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] YourMainDude:
Whoops nvm =] sank yu
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
I know, what are the advantages to that...
[Nexus S Android Development] fcuk90:
the battery life on ics is great for me .
[Nexus S Android Development] Ssunyoto:
What I've noticed so far

So far, this port/ROM had surpassed my expectations.

What I've noticed that was missing was:

The feature of the notifications being accessible from lockscreen isn't functional. (i.e. when you get a text and you try to swipe the notification bar from lockscreen, nothing happens) Google has introduced this feature on ICS based on their website.

Nexus Wallpaper is not detecting touch input correctly, only if one finger is placed and then another would a "spark/color" come out, if using only one "tap or finger" nothing happens.

Music control from pull-down screen is missing, this is an another feature that Google has introduced in ICS.

Alright, that's all. Just wondering if anyone noticed!
[Nexus S Android Development] saayedalam:
I don't have any network.

I can't make call or send text. I read that it can be changed by entering my carrier APN but I can't find Sprint APN.

Can anyone please provide the APN or if I am doing this wrong, give me the correct solution. Thank you
[Nexus S Android Development] Deus_eps_machina:
Can someone who knows more than me...

Tell me what this "true SDK port" is? Trying to understand
[Nexus S Android Development] kptnk:
yep i have this too : the 2 icons are superposed, which is ugly....but the most important is that both works.
[Nexus S Android Development] the_trade_place:
Because this is not for sprint 4g. I don't know why people do not read.
[Nexus S Android Development] nostard19:
btw people using ics, have you guys seen any camera quality improvements, as in 720p video capture or maybe fps improvements. I know this an sdk port so it's too much to expect but since nexus s has always been behind in this area, maybe ics will bring this feature "hopefully" when official release comes out.
[Nexus S Android Development] ale.landra91:
someone add this bugs to the list please
[Nexus S Android Development] sohell:
really sorry...

Apologies in advance, I did search, but had no luck...

anyone please explain / link to an explanation why it is not possible to install I9020 roms on an i9000?

Both have similar (identical?) hardware, but I assume three is still something technical that prevents it. Any guides would be appreciated!

Help a noob out :)
[Nexus S Android Development] nazimster:
Everything is working perfectly. Few fc in some applications

Themes customization is not there

Anyone know how to customize the theme . I mean lock background and notication is not showing in home screen short cut

Sorry for my English
[Nexus S Android Development] nazimster:
Need a kernel working on this rom with voodoo sounds
[Nexus S Android Development] RobbieCrash:
Seriously, the 400MB of dumps a day were driving me mental.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
The Voodoo app works for sound without a custom kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
or you can buy Voodoo plus....

It's really cheap
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Going to watch downloaded 4 Mythbusters episode from youtube in this ICS beta 4... will report how is the battery.
[Nexus S Android Development] leifern:
Do yourselves a favour and change the alarm tone from silent to something that will actually wake you up! Was half an hour late to work today... Don't know what Google were thinking when they thought silent alarms were a good idea to have by default :(
[Nexus S Android Development] ciwek90:
hello guys..i really want to flash this fom..but b4 that..i wanna ask...

1) Does this rom already rooted? or rootable or cannot be root? Do i need to root it after flash this rom b4 use root apps?

2) Does this rom can use custom kernel that support bln,voodoo,deepidle,liveoc, etc or the stock kernel already can do that all?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
The alarm tones are so incredible... pi pu pi pu... yeah.. i always check the alarm tone when i set it... i even set alarm on a backup mobile phone
[Nexus S Android Development] Blu3D:
Anyone else having problems with calendar apps? Not the native one, it works just fine, but apps like Jorte and Business Calendar won't sync for me.
