[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Well, This is my 1st ROM for the NS. Coming from the Vibrant, SGS4G, and the G2x, TeamWhiskey is bringing Bionix back to the table. With the tragic ending to Sombionix's NS, I have taken over the Nexus S side of the team.

ROM NAME: Pure Bionix

Version: 2.3.7 AOSP

Sources: www.github.com/krylon360

1.5 Special Note: If you want to use Vol to Wake, open Spare Parts, and uncheck and recheck the option.

Features:

Pure Stock Android

Latest GB Version Avail

3G Tweak compiled in

DSP Manager Compiled in (Removed until I can fix the FC's it causes)

File Manager Compiled in

Framework Tweaks

init.d scripts

BLN

More to come in future versions.

Kernel

Currently it comes with the Trinity 1.44 GHz Kernel by Morfic. You can find his sources on his git.

Does not come with a baseband.

You will need to download the latest GAPPS if you want them. They do not come pre-installed.

Instructions:

DO NOT FORMAT YOUR BOOT PARTITION. This ROM builds the boot.img on the fly, so if you format your /boot it will not load. (Thanks thoth77)

WIPE! (Only for this build, just to remove any dragons)

Flash: Pure Bionix

Flash GAPPS

Reboot

Once rebooted, dont touch the phone for about 5 minutes (let the cache build up)

reboot

let sit for another few minutes

then sign in and have fun.

Screen Shots.....

It's Stock...

Short Demo

Once everything is said and done, your reboots should only take 13-15 seconds from the Google Splash Screen, to the lock screen.

Download:

Pure Bionix v1.6.1

Thanks to:

Morfic for his awesome kernel work

TeamWhiskey Dev Team

RootzWiki for their awesome site

Thanks to XDA

The guy who works at T-Mobile that traded me a brand new NS for my G2x.

Cyanogenmod for their awesome work

And anyone else I forgot.
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
Nice! Does this/will this include a Bionix Black theme?
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
This is pure stock theme. Nothing done to the graphics. I am working on merging in the T-Mobile Theme Engine Source though. It's just being a PITA at the moment. :P
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Gonna try this one

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] noobiekins:
looks good, I'm gunna try it, thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] v3rk:
Any plans to release a 4g version?
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Sure, I'll just need to get the proprietary files from someone, then I can work on it.
[Nexus S Android Development] frigid:
I have owned g2x vibrant and gs4g and I have always been a bionix fan putting this on my wifes NS
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
its awesome of you to have revived Bionix :D
[Nexus S Android Development] adclem:
Your GAPPS link is for the full CM7 ROM

Trying this ROM out now.

Thanks,
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
theyre the same.
[Nexus S Android Development] adclem:
The link is for the full version of CM7 ROM. So if you flash it over the Bionix ROM it becomes CM7.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Ahh good looking out. Link fixed.
[Nexus S Android Development] macanazo:
Thank you TeamWhiskey!!! I have a Vibrant with Bionix on it and as soon as I seen this I didn't hesitate to download.
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Or worse LOL. Good catch

Ruff Meister

Speeding through the cell towers with MIUI and MATR1X
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
ha! i missed that too :p
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
yeah, thats what happens when you post links at 6a on no sleep. LOL. It's fixed now though.
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
I see you've fixed it on the other forum too. :D

I managed to discover your ROM there initially and then found it posted here.

Been using it for the past few hours and it is really smooth & hiccup-less.

No reboots or any other issues at all.

Pretty snappy too when opening/closing Apps.

Just one question- could the Launcher be made to load/unload apps-pages faster when the app-drawer is clicked?

Thanks and, great job.
[Nexus S Android Development] Chris Boyer:
Welcome Bionix!!!!! Ran on my Galaxy S 4g. Unfortunately I am stuck like chuck on 4.0. When flashing it goes to boot loader and says no recovery image found. Any thoughts??
[Nexus S Android Development] Kindatired:
Downloaded three times. I have a feeling it might be related to the 3g fix built into the rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
silly question here i know, but i have to ask.. is yours a nexus s or a NS4G?

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

have you tried putting it into airplane mode thenm back? have you tried putting it in 2G only(edge) then back?
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
the 3G fix wouldn't kill the APN. I'll include the APN xml from CM on the next build.
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
I also do not have any apn available after flashing .. Not a big problem though I just enter the values manually .. I thought it was intended that there where no APN's on BIONIX :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] Kindatired:
No, I don't have the 4g. I will try again tonight and enter the apn manually. Just found it odd. Never seen that with a rom before.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Guess you've never owned a G2x. That this is notorious for dropping ALL APN's.
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Odd it is, never had it happen to me when flashing this ROM either.

Always had data up and running as soon as I flashed Pure Bionix-

every version up to latest too, in a few moments after signing-in.

ROM seems to come with 22 APNs by default.

On a closer look -at the apns xml- all are for T-Mobile I think.

The APN Backup & Restore from market should help to restore a previously backed-up

APN list -from a CM rom for eg.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Haha, don't even begin on that one.

It's taken a while for most ROMs to stabilize on that phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] thejron:
180 orientation a possibility?
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
re-downloaded the ROM .. and wiped data/cache/dalvik again .. and flashed v1.5 and g-apps .. now everything works fine.. weird.. but it WORKED!!!

great job krylon360 .. keep ur the good work .. will donate soon :)
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
awesome. Glad to hear it.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Thanks @graphreak, for taking the time out for helping me.

Due to your post, i was about to try Bionix again until i read krylon360's following post.

So i think ill wait till teh version 1.6 is released and definitely give it another try. Thanks for working on an update @krylon360

Just tried SuperOSR and its really good, quite stable and fast.

So far, the best one for me, have been

1). KelLMSKing MIUI

2). NSCollab

3). SuperOSR
[Nexus S Android Development] jumaaneface:
Your rom sucks. It fried my bacon
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Are you serious ?

Did it damage your phone ?
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Guess this ROM is 'sizzzzlingggg' fast enough to burn some. ;)

:D:D
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
HAHA no, JFACE is cool. he's just trololing :P
[Nexus S Android Development] Abdsyafii:
anyone have trouble with camera flash?
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
just how i like my bacon.. crispy :p
[Nexus S Android Development] some_random:
so are you running this rom are you simms?
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
as of 1.5(last night) :)
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
1.6 posted.
[Nexus S Android Development] the_trade_place:
Downloading. Lets hope it boots and trinity doesn't play nice sometimes
[Nexus S Android Development] proxuser:
Wow daily updates. Great support.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
I flahsed both Bionix zip v1.6 and gapps zip

But google apps were not present when it booted up. Not even market was available

so i flashed gapps again. still no google apps

What should i do ?
[Nexus S Android Development] ka24e:
Same issue here, also WiFi will not enable. I checkmark it and it says "Error". Seems to be some bugs in this version for sure.

Just to make sure I compiled 2.3.7 from Google Sources, ./fastboot erased boot, system and userdata. ./fastboot flashed boot.img from pure source, reflashed bionix, same issues as mentioned above.

I flashed Cyanogenmod. Everything works per normal.

Ideas? Or are these just bad bugs?

What I did notice is it is ****ING FAST... lol...
[Nexus S Android Development] proxuser:
First install 1.4 then 1.6 then should wifi work ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
So i am not the only one

I tried to enable Wifi, and it gave an Error message.

Can it be confirmed if there is an issue with the latest 1.6 build ?

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Not even able to make a USB Connection. back up another ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] elinho:
Yo, i dont get my apns when your rom :/, dunno why. So i must add them automaticly, and then the swedish keyboard dictionary.

Fix that and im yours!! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
looking into these issues now.

woke up due to this. lol
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
send me the sweedish dictionary and I'll add it
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
ok, fixed wifi on 1.6.1. did a full wipe..ugh...flashed new build, flashed gapps, booted up, prompted to sign in. verified wifi works, verified USB works, verified market.

uploading now. Will update link and md5 once done, and will post that it's updated.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
ill give it a final try

I hope that all the google apps work in this build

Are the google navigation, maps also included ?
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
link updated.

maps nor gmail are included in any GAPPS package. Navigation is installed with Maps.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Thanks. Ill test it now.

What is the default cpu freq, is it 1.54 or 1 Ghz ?
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
1Gz

10char
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Thanks.............
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
well, haven't heard back, so I'm going back to bed.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Wifi worked

USB connection worked

But none of the Googles apps are there except for Market

even though i ran the gapp.zip file

No Navigation, Maps, Places etc.

How can i take a screen capture of the settings page to post here.

Any free app for that ?

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I dont see Voodoo, BLN settings

One more thing, when i go into "Spare Parts" -> "Battery History".

I get the message , that

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Just tried to go into Market to download NStools.

As soon as i clicked on the search result, it crashed the market app.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Look at your gapps package, none of those apps are included because they are avail in the market.

They haven't been included for a while actually... CM5 is the last I saw them.

Voodoo and BLN settings.. again.. market. The only NON-Source apk I've included is ROMStats.

I'll look into the battery history tomorrow. Something probably didn't compile correctly (even though it compiled without error), but I get the FC as well.

For screenshots.... Hold our power button ;)

for the market issue... Reopen it. Your market updated.

Market update came out last week, GAPPS package is dated 08/28/2011
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
THe market app crashed again when i started the NStools download from it.

I cant get the market to work. Keeps on crashing.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

Tried to download Voodoo from the market.

As soon as the search results came up, the market app crashed when i pressed on the app result.
[Nexus S Android Development] belair56:
All the Google apps that you are looking for, download in market, ie maps, Gmail, streetview.

OOPS little late.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
I tried to take the snapshot from the power button, nice addition though : )

But the FC message was over it.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

I know that, but i was looking for a ROM which included those becuase in UAE, where i am situated, the Google Maps, Navigation etc are not shown in the Search Results and no way to download them to the Phone.

So thats why i needed Google Apps to be pre-installed.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
market works just fine.

This is an isolated issue. I can't keep pushing updates out due to 1 person having an issue. Reflash GAPPS please.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
You wont find any AOSP ROM with GAPPS pre-installed. If you do, they are in violation of Google TOS. Cyanogen received a C&D from Google because of this, hence, GAPPS.zip's began.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
What can i say, it crashes every time, some times on search results, some times when the app is pressed, sometimes when the app is being downloaded.

If the issue if not being recreated by you, then there an issue with my ROM.

Ill just switch to another ROM.

Thanks alot for your time : ) Its really appreciated.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Oh, and FYI, NSTools wont work with the included kernel. None of the features are included in it. Just flash a more recent kernel if you want to use NSTools.
[Nexus S Android Development] belair56:
2 things to try. Fix permissions in recovery, clear app data in applications setting for the apps you are having problems with.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
ok. now, i'm going back to bed. LOL

*thanks belair56
[Nexus S Android Development] belair56:
Your welcome and thanks for your HARD WORK on a great ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
This ROm is not for me, since it does not contain Google apps. The apps are not available for download where i live.
[Nexus S Android Development] 1PATRIK:
Flash gapps?
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Guess you haven't been reading the thread well enough?
[Nexus S Android Development] Kindatired:
I got this rom working properly finally. I just had to add the apns in manually and the strange thing was them market kept FCing until I went into the recovery and mount the sd card manually.

This is without a doubt the fastest and smoothest rom I have used on my nexus s.

Anyone recommend a good kernel to go with this rom. Currently using Glados and its pretty good, just wondering if people are using something else.
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
hey.. my sd card unmounts on boot even when i mount sd in recovery.. know the fix ? thanks..
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Try flashing another kernel.

An older standard morfic kernel, T1544-NS-05102011, is linked in one of the earlier posts.
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
yep.. found ur post when i started having the sd mount issue.. flashed T1544-NS-05102011 .. thanks

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

just when u think this rom cant get any faster.. it keeps getting faster.. great work dev .. only having an issue with the built in kernel.. but fixed it by flashing trinity 1.44ghz.. nonetheless.. keep up the good work

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

any idea why T1544 starts tripping when oc'd to 1.54? or is there a way around and im not aware of it..
[Nexus S Android Development] morfic:
Those 1.5xx GHz kernels don't make good default rom kernels.

Too few phones like them.

When I'll build him his Bionix kernel, I'll pick something easier to digest.

Good News:

WiFi is working

Bad News:

Market keeps crashing.
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
Everything is working great so far, no issues to report...I think, idk if it's the ROM or just something else, but my keyboard lags...idk why. Running morfics latest kernel and 1.6.1.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kindatired:
For those people like me who were having the market force close on them you have to use rom manager to fix permissions. It will clear up the market force closing.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
I'll have the rom auto fix permissions when it flashes on the next build. it will also downgrade the kernel to the T144 which seems to be more stable.
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
1.6.1 feels even more faster with GlaDOS CFS 1.4.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
as per request, I've reduced the minimum display brightness. The way google has it it takes the value from OS/Power.java and adds 10 to it in BrightnessControl.Java. so I reduced it by 10. Looks good to me. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] viper2g1:
So I haven't seen this answered, what is your plan with status bar Widgets? I asked in the first coupe of pages and I understood your answer to be that you are working on it. Would really like to know if you are moving forward with that or not. Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
it's being considered.
[Nexus S Android Development] viper2g1:
Thanks for the reply, great rom so far!
[Nexus S Android Development] cabstrak:
Would you ever consider adding touch to focus feature from cm7? :D

haven't got an answer on this :p
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
I'm trying to keep it separated from CM7. I understand certain features and optimizations are a must, but to many, and well, it becomes another CMKang. If there is a large enough demand for it, I will add it.

As far as the notification power widget, a MOD could be made that will work for the rom until I build in the Theme Engine.

Just take the SystemUI,apk and follow dreamsforgotten's guide in the Apps/Themes section for the NS/NS4G
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
have you fixed the market FC issue as well in the latest build ?
[Nexus S Android Development] morfic:
Touch to focus is a very useful feature.

The aosp "I try to focus on everything" cam is meh.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] dalamchops:
market works fine, but still have mounting issue, and have to flash a kernel to get it to work.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Pastebin these results please

adb shell su

cat init.rc

It's mainly the very bottom I'm looking for.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
K, I'll look into what is involved.

You where told how to. Fix Permissions
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
the touch to focus would be a lot more involved, seeing that the cm camera app(apk) has been thoroughly changed. id imagine some framework has changed also. it even took them a long while to get that into the nexus s, while they put it in other phones much faster.
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
well, I've got 12 hours tomorrow night. LOL
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
12 hours?!? you should use some of that time for yourself.. wouldnt want you burning yourself out. when i flash 1.7, i want it to convince me to leave cm ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
the only 'important' feature i miss coming from CM is using the volume rocker to take pictures in the camera app.. can that be added?
[Nexus S Android Development] Serious_Beans:
I just miss the notification widgets, theme chooser and change songs with volume keys. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] thejron:
Anyone else not able to turn NFC on?

Possible to integrate Google Wallet in rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] xcoley:
Awesome ROM - fast and smooth! Would love to see theme chooser.
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
and Power Control Widget on notification bar :)
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
I still get FC’s on Market :( i did fix permissions, but still the same...

EDIT: I just saw that my language was Hd (United States), after changing it to English (United States) my market works...
[Nexus S Android Development] kptnk:
Krylon your rom is really fast and very very responsive, good job, and thank you ! The only thing which is quite awkward is the opening of the app drawer : it is way too slow in comparison of the overall speed of the rom. Just my opinion though ; of course i miss one or two cm tweaks, but not a big deal.

I use it with Glados 1.5 bfs, and it f****** flies :-) ! (without oc, really not necessary for my use).
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Just downloaded it again and flashed it.

Removed the battery and then booted it. Changed the lang on the Sign in page to English - USA. Let it sit for a while and then rebooted it.

Skipped the login and let it sit on the homepage for a while and then signed in.

The market FC's are gone. Its working fine now.

Finally, got this rom to work.

There is still one FC, when i go to "Spare Parts" -> "Battery History".
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Thanks :)

Yeah, I've made changes to the launcher source, but didnt seem to help. back to the drawing board with it.
[Nexus S Android Development] 651stp:
Changing the song with the long hold volume up key works for me... also those reporting market fc's, fix permissions.I never had fc on market though. And for the Guy who wanted to take pictures with the volume rocker,press menu button and go to advance camera options,the option is there and works flawlessly.

Pure bionix plus Trinity UV (simms version) = pure win man. My battery life has lasted longer than any rom I've used since the nexus s was released. Great job on the rom.my daily driver now, no need to keep switching roms finally :) looking toward to updates!
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
The speed is wonderful.

Now i am waiting for it to pass the night without SOD'ing or any other problem.

If it does, i think this will be my final ROM before trying out new ICS Roms.
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
which ROM are you on? there is no advanced options in camera
[Nexus S Android Development] krylon360:
Some stuff that will be in 1.7 which will be done sometime this week.

OpenGL tweaks

DIM settings reduced to allow lower setting

New kernel

New Bionix Boot Logo

New Bionix Bootanimation by @rascarlo

More speed enhancements to the framework

Possibly Notification toggles from CM. (STILL THINKING ON THIS ONE)

Hopefully Theme Engine

Doing the touch to zoom mod tonight killed my source here at work (Camera FC's), but I've got a mirrored copy at my house prior to the changes I made tonight, so I'll throw that on my ext drive and bring that to work with me on Tuesday night.

Here's a teaser:

[YOUTUBE]rchHuX7kYlw[/YOUTUBE]

Enjoy.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Wonderful. I like the green color on a Black background for the Logo/animation. It cools quite professional, and not cheesy.

Is it possible to increase the Logo Size, the text in Bionix animation looks small. There is still space at the sides, the logo could be expanded in size to give a Bolder Feel. The Logo which appears in the beginning

You listed "New Kernel", may i ask which kernel would you be choosing ?
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
cant waitt.. this ROM is permanent on my phone
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
Wow, sounds great ! If the thememanager makes it, this will definitely be my favourite rom :-) .

Are doubting the notification toggles because it would make this rom too much like CM ?

Just want to end by saying you have done a great job so far ! I still flash other interesting releases because I am a flashaddict, but I allways have BIONIX as a nandroid backup at hand :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
continue to show signs of improvement! :)

So I take it I AM the only one with NFC trouble. Fresh install didn't fix the problem.
