You have a Nexus 3G but you downloaded a Nexus 4G version.

---------- Post added at 04:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------

i'm not sure how to help... i don't have that problem. did you wipe /system, /data, /cache before installing the ROM?

alternatively you could remove the apk from system/app. i removed kwiboo's stock openwnn.apk and pinyinime.apk because i didn't like the multi-input.

keyboards, usually paid version gets it - try smart keyboard (which isn't meant for ICS)

Just wondering when the update is out for the Nexus S, will it wipe our current phone datas, apps and settings in order to run the update or will it simply keep all current settings?

And why are people always saying that when you upgrade your OS, you better do a clean install? Does Android actually need a clean install?

When the update comes from OTA, it will not rewrite your phone.

Though jumping to ICS from Gingerbread might leave artifacts that can affect performance. That's why a clean install is preferred.
[Nexus S General] dhanan:
I just installed it! It runs really smooth. A few apps don't work. I'm having issues with compatibility from the market. Video playback is choppy. It also doesn't handle flushing the RAM very well, so it slows to a crawl if you switch between multiple apps often. It's very stable however. No reboots in a few hours of intensive usage.
[Nexus S General] zeli:
i've been trying all of the ics builds that are out there, all i can say is that these guys are doing an amazing job, but there's a long road still to go to see a stable and everyday ROM. I guess that's why its called alpha and all of that

I've been using kwiboos ROM since V2, it's a bit laggy at times but I never went back to Gingerbread because ICS looks so cool.

Google probably has a window of time they wait in order to let the GN be the exclusive ICS device. I don't think this has anything to do with Verizon as others are saying. it's not like Verizon can keep delaying it so ICS isn't released to the NS. Eventually ICS devices from other manufacturers will be released and Verizon will lose out on any exclusivity they had.
[Nexus S General] btappan:
Hi - would someone mind confirming whether ICS has resolved the issue where if you take a picture in portrait mode, and try to send via MMS, it rotates it 90 degrees counter-clockwise?

This is a known but with the i9020T (rotating the portrait picture). Was hoping ICS might resolve this.

In my opinion the oICSv26 | 4.0.1 (ICS) Made by AOSP is the best ICS rom out right now! And I have tried them all. Everything is butter smooth and everything is working except 4G! If you set up your phone the right way with different developer options and tweaks this will definitely be your daily driver! Depending on which kernel you use makes a huge difference as well cause not every NS4G phone handles each kernel the same way. What might work perfect for my NS4G might make your phone boot loop or constantly reboot! So try different kernels and experiment!

Just thought I would share that!
[Nexus S General] johnsies:
This is amazing. The Android community is insanely talented.

I'd use these kernels full-time if the battery wasn't so rough.

Hurry up, Google.

I've been using eugene373's Mod #3 and it's pretty great. Slower feel than Cyanogen 7.1, but damn near everything works. People complain that there is no USB storage option and only MTP mode, but there is a special tool to copy files over on the Mac (www dot android dot com slash filetransfer) and supposedly Windows 7 supports this out of box.

Market works, Google Apps sync, Gmail, Exchange, Calendar Sync, Bluetooth, pretty much everything I've tried is A-OK, and even better GPS accuracy and lock on than CM7.1. It might not be as speedy as CM7.1 but it sure is beautiful.

Also, the ICS keyboard is the best Android keyboard I have used (I bought Swiftkey and used it for a while). Awesome!

I am currently running on my Nexus S:

- CM 7.1.0.1

- KB1 Radio

- GLaDOS v1.10 Kernel

How do I go about getting the official OTA update of ICS from google ?

Do I have to go back to stock Rom, Radio and Kernel + unroot + relock ?

And if I do, how do I do that ?

Unroot using this method. When I unrooted it worked perfectly. :) use the zip you dowbloaded on xda. Dont use the rom provided there. Choose the correct rom for your model! (In the xda thread)

[Nexus S General] maniac2403:
AFAIK, you just need to go back to stock rom for Google OTA updates, no need to unroot. Official ICS updates from Google will still take months to come. If you want ICS right now, you might be better off installing some ICS rom's already floating around.
