use a file manager to navigate to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup - all the .apk files are there.. so worst case you can install them one at a time.. and then use TB to restore the data
[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
titanium free version is working fine.

I tried to connect using VPN but I keep on getting "Failed" it seems VPN not working with this rom
[Nexus S Android Development] PLEEZEFRAGME:
hiho, great rom so far. I love it ATm but i have found an major bug that isnt postet so far.

If i go in to the settings an push on Displaysettings I instantly get an Force Close.

Using an Nexus S I9023 O2 EU german Language if its important.

To all with network problems. Here in the thread is an APN.conf install it via rootexplorer or push-> go to settings an push "restore stock settings" (don´t know if its the right translation but you should get my point)
[Nexus S Android Development] keldrion:
set the language to english (usa) and it works :D
[Nexus S Android Development] bdpyo:
from the home screen, when i hit the menu button there are no actions, is this normal?

also, i didnt really have any problems a littlw lag here and there seemed pretty stable for me just took awhile to boot

i wiped everything, flashed b3 then powered the phone down from recovery, pulled the battery for about 20 seconds and booted it back up.

i couldnt tell how my service was because i have poor service in my.apt and i wanted to keep it but i need my gps and saw some were having issues.
[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
if you need GPS for navigation then you're on the bad side. if you need "GPS" for foursquare check in, latitude etc you can still live with it since you can still use network location eventhough you turn off the GPS.

in my case i can live without GPS since i don't use nexus s for navigation, nexus one is my GPS navigator now.

i can only use nexus s for navigation if i removed the battery cover or else it will take forever to lock location.

[Nexus S Android Development] Akileus:
Worked great for me, some minor bugs but nothing really bad.

ICS looked great,can't wait to have an official NS release.

thanx to all the devs who worked hard to port the SDK, that gave me a perfect idea of what ICS will bring to my NS.

THANKS.

[Nexus S Android Development] navjottomer:

Camera works better than b3 - now you can take *two* shots before it force closes :p

The whole thing is damned impressive... cudos to the guys that did it.

[Nexus S Android Development] McDV:
Great work for that short time! I've already tested and really like it, but without bluetooth and GPS it's not for daily use for me...

The thing I don't understand is:

We know ICS for the SNS is finished. Some time ago there was this beta on ebay, now we know there are several Google-employees using ICS on their Nexus S (one of them has some panorama-photos in his Google+-profile). So this update is really working and existing, Google just keeps it back to let the Galaxy Nexus be the first ICS-device.

Anyway, what we don't have is a leaked system dump of one of this phones! Could it really be possible, that there is no leaked NAND-backup or what ever on the wide, big internet? Or hasn't it be found, yet? :)

That's really disappointing... ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
I've found a solution for my impatience. A ketamin induced coma. See you in 6 weeks.

[Nexus S Android Development] mils69:
I'm the same Melvin. It's annoying b/c the effects are quite nice.
[Nexus S Android Development] DarkSi08:
Been running this for just about 24 hours now. Here is my experience.

The ROM runs great. It's hard to believe this is such an early ROM, based off of the SDK. This is WAY better than the Honeycomb SDK ports that first landed on the Nook Color, etc. Very functional, and very fast, with some lag here and there, as expected. Nothing worse than stock Gingerbread, though.

The only time I consistently see lag is when opening the Clock app, but that's perfectly acceptable.

3G data is iffy. With a perfect signal, it will go away, and come back at random. Reboots and toggling airplane mode don't correct this.

I've gotten VERY few FC's, but I've gotten a few when it matters. I can't send emails from the gallery, Speedtest, etc - it FC's as soon as you enter the email address. This is true both when you choose a contact, or if I type out the full address.

Another consistent FC is on the APN screen. I can go in and create an APN, etc, but it always FC's when I'm done. Not horrible. The camera FC's every once in a while. The camera is significantly quicker than it was with Gingerbread, but not as fast as the Galaxy Nexus, as expected. Other than these three places, the OS has been extremely stable.

Bluetooth may be a dealbreaker for me. I work from home, and I have TONS of meetings every day, so I usually use bluetooth so that I don't have to bother my family while using speakerphone. I'm sure this'll be fixed sooner, rather than later.

SMS, email, games, etc, all work flawlessly.

One other important note for anyone who might consider flashing - Titanium Backup doesn't quite work right. It wouldn't restore apps for me, no matter what I did. It WOULD, however, restore data, so I just had to reinstall the apps, then push the data back down. Not a big deal, just a touch annoying.

One last thing - This ROM did a GREAT job with the marketplace. As soon as I logged into my account, it was pulling down ALL of my marketplace apps. Everything was installed very quickly, and all I had left to do was put Amazon Appstore on there to grab the rest of my apps. The phone seems significantly faster in the app install process, for what it's worth!

I hope this helps anyone who's on the fence about trying this ROM!
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Agree with you.

But I'm back to Cyanogen kang... I'm a hardcore user. I don't enable lwp, animation it anything in kang or ics .. ics is so much slower than kang.. yeah. It is still in beta, it is acceptable too.

For me :

:) :

- the auto rotate (now keeps in memory the on screen picture and rotate it like iPhone UI does),

- apks improvements (keyboard [copy/paste is dope lol], camera, calendar, ...)

- multi task viewer,

-

:( :

- appdrawer (horizontal scroll, Widgets implementation),

- no pinch to zoom? No page delete?

- status bar w/o toogles (when will they put shortcuts to wi-fi, bt, etc like miui does (best for me in term of ergonomy) ?

Otherwise, things are smooth enough to enjoy, new animations, outlooks are good ...

Just my feelings
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
But super heavy ram usage... Urgh... do anyone of you guys check how many ram do this rom use compare with Ginger? :(

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Nexus S Android Development] pooley:):
Ain't check it yet . Run this Rom since only few hours. Can you tell us more about that?

PS: my LS clock font is the gingerbread stock not the ICS one as in the screenshots in OP... any idea?

Sent from my toilets.
[Nexus S Android Development] tarroyo:
I'm EXTREMELY JEALOUS! How many of you devs would be willing to help put ICS on other devices?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Nothing dramatic, I have about 130mb of ram free most of the time.

Browser is closing dues to a lack of ram, this can probably be fixed by allowing apps to use more ram.
[Nexus S Android Development] kewlguru:
I don't seem to having that much luck. Most of the heavy applications (email/pool master :) etc) seem to be restarting. I know that in due time, optimizations will be done and it will be perfect!

But for a beta, its an amazing (no reboots :D) ROM.

Once i catch up to beta 4, i will know...

BTW i don't know if people caught on to this. ADW Launcher EX has a cool new look in ICS. Maybe it looks at this like a HC version. But its worth looking!!
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
The ICS is running at 220mb ram, but GB is running at 100mb for me..

[Nexus S Android Development] faizalmzain:
beta5 already in progress.

pity drew he has been banned from androidcentral for actually bringing nexus 3g port based on beezy ROM.

he clearly stated in his website the ROM base is from beezy ROM for nexus s 4g
[Nexus S Android Development] l1zart:
easy

I've been hanging around here since the first posts...

I see a lot of the same questions passing, maybe it is a good idea to make it easier on ourselfs :)

so my idea is to gather all our info and put it in 1 post.

So first of all of course: the Beta links

Latest Build beta has the number 4, 5 is being developed :)

as far as I know there are 4 mirrors for the beta 4 zip package.

its on every rom. My "SD" (if you will call it like that on our beloved Nexus S) copies season 4 of Big Bang Theory (3.6GB) in 18minutes or so. The upload to the SD is 4.8MB/s

Thats a question i have for quite a while..is it possible to speed that up? Propably should ask in the forum not in the thread^^

BTW Gameloft games work flawelessly for me! my girl is playing sims 3 for about 2 hours now no reeboot or fc or some. PES2011 was running about an hour without any fc

First off: Awesome job by the devs. Really outstanding work.

Now to my question. This is the first time I've ever tried an SDK-port. To those of you who have been around the block a couple of times: how much better can we expect the final product to be? I mean, this port is great and all, but the Android lag is still there. I don't know about you, but I haven't really noticed the much hyped HW acceleration at all.
