Yea you cannot restore apps in the ICS Betas...

however what you can do is download from the Market and Restore Data instead. That works like a charm. I got all my apps restored easily that way. Just need to wait for the apps to download. I even was able to restore my SMSs.

[Nexus S Android Development] RobbieCrash:
40 Hours seems a bit much, but I'm getting probably 5 or 7 more hours out of B4 than I was getting out of CM7.1.

However, that may just be because the phone isn't freezing, or constantly having major radio problems and causing radio dumps.

[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
CM7 does not cause radio dumps becuase I have gotten them on MIUI roms as well..while nobody has determined the cause I have had good luck with my current ROM.

That said this ROM has tons of bugs

For a beta it is not bad but stable its not.

Ruff Meister

[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Interesting logic there.
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Not logic, fact. If you search XDA you will see dozens of ROMs that people experience radio dumps with. It is a common issue with the NS and not limited to CM or any particular ROM or kernel.

[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
whether it is isolated to CM7 or not, the fact that a "stable" build of multiple GB roms has had this problem along with numerous other stability issues; this SUPER early build based on SDK has still fixed this incredibly annoying issue. Can't wait for stable. My Nexus S has never run so long without a reboot as it has with ICS.
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Which kernel? Can you share it out?

Beta 5?

I don't mean to be rude or anything but does anyone know when will beta5 be out. Tonite?

ICS is great.. And so is beta4.. Thx a ton for that

Actually I'm enjoying google voice actions more than ever. If only google voice has sentimental analysis and contextual search applied to their voice commands I think it could take Siri head-on.

I tweet, email, set my alarms and write short emails (sans punctuations) with google voice actions. Love it!!

A Few errors I encountered in beta4

1. Mail crashes consistently (a biggie for people who wants to use their exchange account)

2. 3G connection drops intermittently (turning ON and OFF airplane mode got me connected again not sure if it works for everyone)

3. Tried to update Google Maps application (downloads fine but fails while installing with Package file not signed correctly - if the message box is left open phone reboots automatically)

4. Music application crashes intermittently (sometimes when maps is opened)
[Nexus S Android Development] RobbieCrash:
Exactly. CM7.1 crashed all the time, and had constant radio problems. Regardless of if this is an AOSP issue, or a common trait across multiple custom 2.3 ROMs, it's not happening anymore with this one.

Which is why I said this ROM is more stable than CM7.1 was on my phone.

Beta 5 should be out tonight.

Animations in the app drawer don't make an appearance in this beta maybe in the new true port
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
It has not fixed any anything LOL. In order to fix any bug one must first know the root cause. Basic QA fact.

Ruff Meister

Speeding through the cell towers with Android and MATR1X
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Any ROM based on stock and not OC'd UV'd w/o all the tweaks of a custom rom will always be less prone to crashes and bugs.

All that said I have had very few issues with CM, BM'S MIUI, OXYGEN and others. When I hear of people having tons of issues it is usually user error IMHO.

Not really, if the cause of the failure is replaced, the bug is fixed, regardless of whether or not the precise code was identified as the failure. If the problem no longer occurs, the bug is fixed.

[Nexus S Android Development] ciwek90:
When B5 out...do i need to wipe all or just flash it over b4? Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
you can insist everyone who has problems with bugs just isn't as good of a .zip flasher as you but that doesn't make it true. I have been flashing custom roms for a very long time and just because you don't seem to have the problems I have listed doesn't make them non-existent. Look no further than the dev thread and you will see you are in the minority if you don't have pretty regular radio dumps and dim screen bootloops. The FACT is that I, as well as many others are having better stability with this SDK release than with CM7 and any other AOSP based GB rom. I have tried them all and this is the first one for the Nexus S that does not have the radio dump issues.

p.s. and please for the love of God don't say user error anymore. Flashing a zip file after clearing dalvik, cache, and factory reset isn't that complicated.
[Nexus S Android Development] ciwek90:
wipe data,cache and dalvik then flash b5? is that?
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Full wipe
[Nexus S Android Development] droe411:
Miui and a lot of roms are built off cm7. So you can't use miui as a reason that cm7 doesn't cause radio dumps.

[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
If its not why are you having so.many issies LOL?

Fact is flashing a ROM and setting it up to run correctly with many kernels does require trial and error with voltage settings etc.

If you are having good luck with this ROM I am happy for ya.

In readng the thread though this may be due to little working haha...

I have read GPS, BLUETOOTH and many key features do not work properly. This for a user like yourself may indicate stability. For me not so much haha.

[Nexus S Android Development] djsonar:
Fyi this has happened to me before after flashing a number of times. The way it got fixed was by flashing a radio.
[Nexus S Android Development] atrevino19:
For 3g problems just go to setting/location and uncheck all. It worked for me
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
we are clearly defining stable differently. I know how to tweak kernals and go through the trial and error required to make a rom run its best. However nothing has ever been able to get rid of the radio dumps . The Gps and Bluetooth issues are known bugs and ate not what I am talking about when I compare stability. By your logic cm7 can't be considered stable because of the 2g/3g toggle issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
I have flashed all radios available for T-Mobile and the problem never went away until I got away from GB.
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
For me right now stable is 3 weeks w/o a radio dump using the MIUI GER ROM with MATRIX 9.5. I get good battery life, snappy response and no FCs. My GPS and BT work.

I have gotten radio dumps in the past on other ROM and kernel combinations. I will never blame the ROM unless I know the root cause because if I don't I truly have no business blaming the ROM.

Ruff Meister

Speeding through the cell towers with Android and MATR1X
[Nexus S Android Development] niiza:
are you using matr1x with this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] pnnorth:
But you will often blame the kernel without knowing the root cause.
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
When flashing a new ROM it is rare a radio is flashed with it.

Ruff Meister

Speeding through the cell towers with Android and MATR1X
[Nexus S Android Development] niiza:
oops, read your post wrong. are there any kernels that work with this though?
[Nexus S Android Development] RobbieCrash:
So, with a stock CM7.1 flash, no custom kernel, no overclock, nothing changed at all, even using default ADW launcher config, what would you suggest was causing the radio dumps, if not the ROM? I know that my radio doesn't crash without using custom ROMs, and that it doesn't crash with this ROM.

What else could it possibly be?
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
I might blame the ROM/KERNEL combination but to be honest I do not think anyone knows the reason for the radio dumps otherwise it would have been fixed. To say it has been fixed on a ROM that is barely functional at this point may be jumping the gun.

Ruff Meister

Speeding through the cell towers with Android and MATR1X
[Nexus S Android Development] djsonar:
i flash the radio if I start to have radio dumps. Not every time I flash a rom
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
You don't get my point I guess. If your PC's network connection drops is it simply Windows 7 that caused it? Of course not.

[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
I inferred from this post that you did not actually flash the ports. I suppose then you choose to test nothing when flashing new ROMs and read about what's wrong with them instead.

EDIT: And it's not that you post too much, it's the all too common snide and antagonistic remarks that end up in your posts that become tiring. Post away, just say something useful from time to time.
[Nexus S Android Development] RobbieCrash:
If I'm using a stock Windows 7 install, with the built in drivers, and no software or drivers installed, with a NIC I know to be good, on a network I know is not dropping, then yes, I would blame Windows 7. If it happened on the same hardware while using Solaris, or Linux, or Windows XP, then no, I would blame something else. However, when I'm not using anything other than a completely stock CM7.1 installation, the only thing that is on the phone is the CM7.1 ROM; so it has to be the ROM that's the problem. Regardless of which part of the ROM it is, the ROM is the only thing it can be, there's nothing else on the phone, and I know the hardware is good, as is my cellular connection.
[Nexus S Android Development] ciwek90:
can i flash custom rom? like matrix,franco,trinity,etc?
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
A CM install does not flash the radio, gapps. Are there 3rd party apps on your phone? Did you use a backup program to restore apps or settings ?

I have never had a radio dump with CM. I have with others

At this point you believe what you believe
