Did you actually manage to install flash from the market? If so you're close to unique!

atm flash isn't compatible with ICS so it's not being offered in the market. A few peeps have tried sideloading the flash apk from Honecomb but it didn't work.

Adobe say they're not supporting flash for mobile devices any more, Google say flash for ICS is coming; time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
I doubt it's all that unique, just came along with the selection as part of the restore process from Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saltbread:
Hey original poster or anyone who knows the answer to this question :

I am interested in how certain apps perform with and without the force 2D GPU acceleration option in the developer menu on the phone. Could you test and comment on how Netflix, the Comixology app (Comics in Android Marketplace) and the B & N Nook app (using magazines preferably, the books work ok now under 3.2) plz. I'm trying to figure out if that's why those apps have noticeable scrolling lag and general performance issues on my Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
So there is no smart dialer on the GN? Can someone please confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Already confirmed plenty of times. Just as quick way is to use the Google Search and initiate calls from there.

The reason why it doesn't utilize 'smart dialer' or T9 dialing, is because this is patented and not by Google. Other Android handsets that have T9 dialling are paying licensing fees for using this, but Android stays away from as many licensing deals as possible with the intent to keep native Android as open as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Thanks for a concise response, I see that there are quite a few things that I am going to miss from my S2 if I move to stock google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Well, don't worry too much. One of the major benefits of having an Android is the freedom of installing launchers and diallers and whatnot that suit your needs better. There are plenty of T9 diallers on Android market.

But of course I too would love if these things would be in native Android, I kind-of prefer native over customized apps when it comes to OS, but at least the choice is there and I am sure someone will release a dialer app that looks just like native one, but includes T9 dialling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IanCoves:
So it's just software? I'm super keen to find out if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kenneth131:
Sorry iv not had much time to get back to you guys being back at work but so far no gaming issues with the gpu and have tried wind up knight, need for speed and others mentioned on here with no noticeable degradation of graphics that i can see.

Also flash is coming for android 4.0 http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43152/flash-for-android-4-end-2011-no-flash-for-android-5

Hope this settles some of you with regards to the omission of flash initially

Thanks ...I think its a good idea to have one location to look for updates and discuss. Thank you for making this rom for the nexus s! (Just kidding! Too soon?)
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
Too soon, too soon xD

good idea with this thread
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
haha yeah maybe your right that its to soon, but i read that drew (yes THAT drew) is getting out his update soon and miui also said that theyd have ics soon so i figuered better to soon than to late! ;D
[Nexus S General] H2O_c:
i really want a full build!!! hardware acceleration is what i want but can't try in the sdk port ><
[Nexus S General] diamond_vdf:
yeah, good idea mate..

hoping that this thread will not go under in discussions who has stolen the rom from who and so on.. simply updates - no discussion from who and why and how.

actually I run the ics port b12, quite good, only the market update crash-issue is ugly .. let's hope and wait for the devs to get ICS sooner mostly stable :D
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
i was using b12 as well, but then i swiched back to gb miui because of the market, whatsapp, sms (maximaum one page) and all the fcs...

but i fell madly in love with ics and i keep looking for roms for the nexus s all the time! ;D
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
I think drew should just upload now... he can get out the stable version later!

I have to satisfy my lust for ics! ;D

Way to go OP. I was following other threads here and, like many, I find it hard to find an update on what's happening without searching the internet up and down. Those other threads became laughable. Why would anyone send you hate mail for hopefully clarifying things with a consolidated thread. Good to see this.

[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
There will not be a stable ROM until the source is released. Not the source for the Galaxy Nexus but the actual source. That will happen when the OTA is released for your NS most likely. CYANOGEN will wait for real source as will the MIUI team.

You will see some adapted and modded ROMs based on the Galaxy Nexus code. Most likely they will have modified GB kernels I believe.

I would not be surprised to see OTAs for NS right after the Galaxy Nexus hits stores in the US, definitely b4 Christmas.
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
He is on the CM team, not likely

Say what you want about drew but at least he had no problem releasing half busted roms. Now that people are making source roms we are begging for them to at least give us a half busted rom while we wait but no one will ugh! I don't care if just the camera and wifi don't work! That's leaps and bounds above what were used to!
[Nexus S General] xavierdylan:

koushs ics is out! downloading it...

great to see all these ics roms appearing now!! :D
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Yes...and working very well :) no face umlock though and you must update the music app. Also be warned, Koush stated he only tested on i9020a, and wasn't sure about other devices. Sure enough, seems everyone that complained about stuck on boot logo is using i9020t or i9023
[Nexus S General] lio02:
No Wifi

I'm undable to post into dev section and I haven't seen anyone with I9020

reporting this problem: when switching wi-fi ON it just says "Turning wifi on..." and nothing happens.

Device: I9020

Tried with both versions by kwiboo

Koush's version didn't boot at all, stuck @ Google

Anyone able to inform DEVs?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
lio02 have you wiped everything before flashing it?
[Nexus S General] lio02:
yes, absolutely, wiped everything (even flashed Super Sweep.zip :)

WiFi is causing the phone to boot loop with V2 build.
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Drew's version that I'm downloading right now apparently has the on-screen buttons and everything but camcorder works.

We will see for ourselves, but he obviously is bringing something new to the table, we have to give him credit. Whether he built it from scratch or off someone else's build, it would be no different than almost every other rom out there built off cm7 stock or miui. Not trying to start up the arguing again or anything LOL :) just saying.

[Nexus S General] dingdonghei:
Downloading now. Wonder if full wipe is needed when coming off V2. Hmm.
[Nexus S General] navjot94:
Completely agree. People give him **** for using other peoples work, but truth is this isn't much different from any cm based rom. And he did credit breezy. I was a little suspicious earlier because it was taking so long, but I believe him now
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
Im completely happy with v2 so i dont think ill try drews build...

But could you guys maybe give some feedback on how it works? Ill maybe try it if its better/more functional. Although i actually dont miss anything on v2...
[Nexus S General] navjot94:
I just want to try out the onscreen buttons, see how I like them. ; )
[Nexus S General] fr4herm:
Drew's build works absolutely fine on my NS.
[Nexus S General] dingdonghei:
Booting drews build up now. First thing I noticed is the GN boot animation is included. Still looks ****ty, though. Washed up. Also seems like a full wipe is not required. I wiped cache and dalvik, and ICS does its little upgrading routine at first boot.

Other than that the superuser app keeps force closing. Could be because I didnt do a full wipe.

And I have to say the rom seems very fast, the difference from V2 is noticeable. Loving it. It's not up there with the fastest GB roms yet, but thats to be expected.

Looks kinda weird with the on screen buttons though :)

EDIT: Quadrant 3rd run: 1542. I got around 1400 3rd run on V2. Antutu 1st run: 2899 vs 2865 on V2

Can you add the date when you change some informations in the first post?

Ok ill add his new ics and delete b12...

does it have on-screen buttons?

Edit: its available with and without on-screen buttons.

Ive added the date to the thread name! ;) should have thought of that before... thanks for telling me!
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
I ran drew's for a while, I really didn't notice a crap load of difference, but as far as the on screen buttons: I could see how they are going to be brilliant on the galaxy nexus, very nice to have, but for me only take up real estate on the screen. We have buttons already that do the same thing.

Just wanted to ask, on kwiboo's V2 has anyone noticed things getting choppy and unresponsive when typing in landscape mode? Also, is it just me or does the launcher hiccup especially when sliding from apps to Widgets and back again? Just wondering.
[Nexus S General] brrip:
the on screen buttons could be viable if we could reassign the actual buttons below to other functions... perhaps that'll be the future
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
That's a good point too. Btw...trying out Franco's ICS kernel now and makes a big difference! OC to 110. Just have to try it with Drew's, then Mathkid's with Kwiboo's, then ........lol oh boy the fun we have
[Nexus S General] Moystard:
The screen size and resolution is much bigger on the Galaxy Nexus. It does not make sense to me to actually love se some screen estate for a couple of buttons I have on the hardware already.

On a different note, I also experience the choppy experience while in landscape mode

[Nexus S General] suomaf:
I tried drews with screen buttons the whole morning and its pretty ok. I could titanium backup restore my apps. Not too many FC, nothing that a cache wipe cannot remedy. I am now going to try his one without the on screen buttons. I am worried about the burn in effect of the amoled :p or it could be I am just a crack flasher and want to try everything.

[Nexus S General] AardvarkAdventure:
I can vouch for version 1 of kwiboo's ROM on the NS4G. I've heard V2 is good on NS3G.

I honestly flashed it expecting to play with it for an hour or so and go back....but I haven't. ICS is great and the ROM is stable. Battery life seems unaffected, I've had zero reboots...I've run into a couple apps that force close, but that's about it.

If you can live without the things listed as being nonfunctional in kwiboo's thread, give it a shot. You can always just restore what you had, anyway.
[Nexus S General] shinigami13:
Anyone else see an ICS rom for NS4G (or even 3g) with hardware buttons disabled and ICS software buttons enabled? Would be cool to see that?

Edit: Stupid me didn't see the other posts, sorry about the repeat (and even though I've been a long time 'viewer' of XDA had to wait five minutes to fix this).
[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
Not sure why anyone would want this. The Galaxy Nexus is longer than the NS4G so you don't really lose touching real estate when compared to older phones. On the NS4G you lose a bunch of the screen for something that is pretty much already there.
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
I had the same problem! Full wipe and reflashing v2 did the trick for me!
[Nexus S General] shinigami13:
I think it would look cool. I understand it would be a little weird due to screen length differences, but just interesting to see.

Not as of yet, it should come within the next few weeks since the Galaxy Nexus is released now and AOSP released the galaxy nexus ICS source.

If you can't wait, you can always test out the builds that are in the development forum right now. I have been using them as daily roms and they're pretty stable.

I'm going to patiently wait for the OTA to come out, but i have one item of curiosity to see if they improved or not. Does the dialer/contacts applet rotate when in landscape mode? The SDK does not, but I've also noticed that the SDK is not quite the same as ASOP (Try clicking on the android version in the SDK, you get the honeycomb easter egg and not the ICS one) so I'm not trusting it too much.

I think I'll use this thread to vent a bit...

I'm somewhat disappointed to find my self in the exact same position I was in with my last two Android phones: The latest available updates are unofficial and buggy.

I bought a Nexus S 4G specifically because I wanted to avoid this. I guess I just have to accept that the official OS release for my phone will always be delayed unless I purchase a new phone for every major OS release. At least this time I am somewhat assured that an update is actually coming for this particular phone.

What are we waiting for exactly? One would assume that ICS was developed on the Nexus S and was fully working prior to the source code release.

Perhaps they focused on the Galaxy Nexus first and are still polishing up the Nexus S version? If so, I consider that a bit of a slap in the face.

Impatiently yours,

Sim2
