no wonder i cannot use it properly..need to fresh install i suppose...thanks bro! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] rds_sp:
on i9023

I have been using this rom since yesterday and it can be used as your daily rom with no problem. It is really stable and everything seems to working but I not had need to tether these days.

The only problem you will notice is sometimes the rom seems sluggish and touch unresponsive but not a big deal. As I stated it happens only sometimes and in 10s everything come back to normal.

Camcorder is crashing but it is not a deal breaker for me. Normal camera and panorama are working fine.

So if you are hungry for some ice cream sandwich and don't want to wait Google release the official version you can play with this rom.

Cheers

Correct me if Im wrong, but the NS doesnt support UMS, only MTP (via windows) or PTP (via Linux).

Also, on v2, I had the WiFi disabled, and when trying to make a call, it soft rebooted (boot screen), and then crashed. Funny thing was, the call was made, and completed before I pulled the battery to reset.

Otherwise, amazing ROM, I love the way it feels.

ICS collab

I wish those 3 guys that building ICS can put together one rom...you know like a ICS collab ,that way we can have a full complete rom.... what do you guys think of that?

Every time I set up face unlock when I go to try it out after setting it up it says it couldn't find my face.
[Nexus S Android Development] Hostile89:
The Galaxy Nexus does not support UMS. ICS including the Nexus S will support UMS.
[Nexus S Android Development] KBanause:
Wrong.

The NXS does have a dedicated partition for the "sdcard". Therefore it supports UMS. And my does give me the option to activate usb mass storage when I plug it to the PC and it is working.
[Nexus S Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
those with NS4G how did you get your data working since there is no option to update profile?
[Nexus S Android Development] KBanause:
Great idea.
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
Wifi still working great. Still no reboots. This is with the V2 kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] KBanause:
you mean "kernel" ;)

Speed definitively must be fixed. With Oxygen 2.3.2 (Gingerbread 2.3.7 based) I get nearly 3000 points), now just 1400.
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
Yes, I do. I keep doing that... lol :)
[Nexus S Android Development] nickmv:
Is anyone else noticing that while 3g works, data speeds are absolutely atrocious?

Ive been testing this since yesterday morning, and 3g download speeds were topping out around 50k/sec MAX. Usually it was more like 8-10k/sec. Wifi is no issue, but I'm def noticing poor speeds.
[Nexus S Android Development] crzycrkr:
My data has been working fine. Haven't needed to update profile
[Nexus S Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
were you already using your nexus when you flashed the new rom? I have been using a different phone and think that has to do with it. I am going back to CM7 and then going to update profile and get it programmed then go to ICS

NS4G v2 Reboot fix, Only need to flash ROAMING FIX

For the NS4G v2 I have found the issue with the reboots is in the framework-res.apk, that is why if you flash the roaming fix for v1 it is solved. I have edited your original post to show you what i did that worked great. Tested without a data wipe from v1 and with a data wipe and worked both times. WiFi patch is not needed and without it the signal indicator works properly. Also I strike out Franco kernel install as v2 Kernel works fine for now and includes 2 patches that are not available for other custom kernels yet.

1) boot into recovery

2) Not Needed | <strike> wipe data/factory reset</strike>

3) wipe cache partition

4) wipe dalvik-cache

5) flash ICS V2 rom.

6) Not Needed | <strike>flash the WIFI Fix</strike>

7) flash the Roaming Indicator (THIS IS THE ONLY FIX NEEDED)

8) Not Needed | <strike>flash Franco ICS kernel </strike>

9) reboot and done!
[Nexus S Android Development] adaimespechip:
This is my point ^

Maybe stating issues with stability and battery life was unfair.. For what it is, both are VERY good.

My issue is the sluggishness overall, it isn't as snappy as 2.3.6 as i've used previously, and quadrant scores are pretty dreadful. I was just wondering if there was a different kernel out there right now that could address this, rather than waiting for the next update ect..
[Nexus S Android Development] damnmisur:

[Nexus S Android Development] eizonuts:
To everybody who wants to use tethering on this ROM, try downloading barnacle wifi from the market. Tethering works fine with the app :) Enjoy. Fyi I'm using the glados 1.5 kernel with this ROM. Cheers!!
[Nexus S Android Development] zeeraf:
i have a NS4G ...so i was on v1 with no issues and decided to try v2 again , flashed using the instructions in the op but now i have lost root access ....
[Nexus S Android Development] kgbcapthowdy:
what program are you guys using for overclocking?
[Nexus S Android Development] phillevy:
I have one major problem that is threatening to spoil the party - V2 fails to link phone numbers with the corresponding contact name when I receive calls/sms and I just get a number displayed often with "unknown" attached to it.
[Nexus S Android Development] crzycrkr:
Finally! I can confirm that this works!
[Nexus S Android Development] ciwek90:
you need to fresh install v2...wipe everything...and flash it....usb mass storage mode and nfc will be fixed...good luck! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Azure465:
Is it supposed to look like this when listening to music? Controls and album art look misplaced

(Screenshots work great though :D)
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
That's how mine looks.... I like it that way, actually :)
[Nexus S Android Development] sakisds:
Actually I am having the same problem and I did flash after wiping everything. ADB works fine and I rarely use mass storage mode but it would be nice to have it working.
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
So reflashing V2 will fix the USB Mass Storage issue? Does it work past the first connection?
[Nexus S Android Development] ciwek90:
you already wipe everything and flash v2? and still mass storage mode not working? hmm..weird..mine is working after fresh install v2...oh well... :confused:

yup..reflashing v2 after wipe everything from v1...mine works like that :)
[Nexus S Android Development] adaimespechip:
Yup mine looks the same unfortunately :-(

Today was a strange day, I thought everything was running fine until I received an MMS. It doesn't let me download it at all. I've tried handcent and gosms but nothing allows me to. Is there a fix for this?
[Nexus S Android Development] Hostile89:
Download and run Busybox Installer from the market.

[Nexus S Android Development] mad_vtak:
Correct me if i am wrong, but root explorer is not working correct?
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
Well... I'm nervous to reflash since everything I need is working and everybody else seems to be having trouble... but in the spirit of testing this out, I"ll do it.

Also, I tried to connect to bluetooth, it connected, but I couldn't transfer any files. Anybody else?

Oh, and I reran quadrants with the performance setting in NSTools for the CPU, and I got a lower score :confused: Lol.
[Nexus S Android Development] mad_vtak:
I cant wait to see CM implementations again. One thing i do miss is battery percentage in the lock screen and in the top bar.
[Nexus S Android Development] daandman:
In spare parts uncheck compatibility mode for older apps & check gpu rendering, restart & it should be ok.
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
You are correct, well, it works, but you can't use it - too small.

Download Root Browser from the market, it's free and works the same as Root Explorer, but with ads.
[Nexus S Android Development] adaimespechip:
Read the post above mine. We are speaking about LOCK SCREEN controls. The Music apps works fine in itself, but it's not rendering correctly on the lock screen.
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
Let your screen turn off and then get into the lock screen when music is on... you're just looking at the music app, which looks fine. It's when it's on lock screen.
[Nexus S Android Development] nickmv:
My 3g speeds are really slow on this rom. I cant speak for the other ones, but I'm getting on avg, 10-20k/sec, instead of 500. Wifi speeds are fine though.

Anyone else?
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
Just tried this and I still have a tiny screen in the lower left corner for Root Explorer...
[Nexus S Android Development] hyakuman:
My money is that's how the lock screen music controls were designed, i.e., it's rendering properly. Seems fine to me, anyway.
[Nexus S Android Development] crzycrkr:
NS4G? No fix yet I think
[Nexus S Android Development] Ahmun_Ra:
Is it just me or i don't seam to have spare parts? Using the NS V2
[Nexus S Android Development] NYYFan325:
I noticed that too. Its leaps and bounds better compared to SDK builds however. I couldn't use the SDK builds for more then a day. I plan on keeping this unless major issues arise. I'm sure those minor things will be fixed in the coming days/weeks
[Nexus S Android Development] fineazbro:
i bet he gonna release tonight..:eek:
[Nexus S Android Development] Eunidas:
Wow, a rom build on the source. Cant wait to try it. Downloading now. Hope it has HW acceleration
[Nexus S Android Development] intheb0x:
if you are coming from a SDK port, no need to wipe it down, just wipe dalvik and cache.

everything updated fine for me, no issues

even the data monitor is working.
[Nexus S Android Development] bfroehlich:
I felt the same, but it seems a little too coincidental...
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Yeah a little laggy... I think there might be some app problems until they are all ICS compatible. Tweetcaster looks screwed up

Nevermind, I see there is in fact a build for crespo4g. Awesome. Will add impressions in a bit! :)

[Nexus S Android Development] kevinngck1:
This is amazing!! Really faster than the sdk port build. Nice work!!

All things work for me expect the wifi therthing:(

I really need it. Plz include it into this rom. Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] DirtyShroomz:
Works great so far even face unlock works just make sure you hold it away a little less than arms length so it captures everything
[Nexus S Android Development] mobile_sensei:
Great!

I can confirm Facebook works for me as well. Also camera, wifi (with patch) ROM Manager, ROM Toolbox, & Tweetdeck work great. Side load apps fine from SD Card.

To those who are mentioning lag, remember it will get faster & battery life will increase once your caches have a chance to build back up. I'm liking this a lot. I ran Beezy's SDK port for a few days, went back to Bugless Beast due to many apps force closing not being able to access settings in Superuser, which is not a problem with this ROM by the way. Great work OP, can't wait for your refinements & to get USB working. Thanks again!
[Nexus S Android Development] intheb0x:
thats because the updates in market arent compatible.

atleast i think thats the problem..

the maps and so on in the source are up to date.

i cant update any g apps either, new music says its not properly signed.

no big deal,
[Nexus S Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
U mad bro?

But really, my eyes hurt from seeing this post and i didnt even finish reading it. -_____-

does Super user work ? do i need to flash it etc?

So go download it. Free in the market.

Also, brainmaster's tweaked version of this ROM has it.

Anybody have a mirror for V2 on the NS4G ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Azure465:
I don't think so. The whole album art isn't showing. The top part is cut off.
[Nexus S Android Development] intheb0x:
I've been holding off going to v2 for the random reboot issues, im willing to try your method, but can't find the roaming indicator fix?

Perhaps you can provide a link?

Thanks for the info!

Anyone else have the problem where when they try to use spare parts to turn off compatibility mode the spare parts app itself has the size issue as well? I know that the checkbox for turning it off is at the very bottom but when I click it and restart nothing happens and the same problem occurs.

Does multitasking just not work, I have twitter update tweets every hour and I never get the notification for new tweets, anyway to fix this?
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
A little update...

I reflashed V2, here is how I did it. I'm only listing this because I've done it twice now, and both times have worked as expected and ICS is running as it should with this ROM.

Boot into recovery.

- Wipe User Data

- Wipe Cache Partition

- Wipe Dalvic Cache

- Flash Zip

- Boot Phone

- Sign into Google and finish setup

- Boot into recovery

- Flash ERI patch

- Boot Phone

- Enable WiFi

Good to go. However... I still can't get it to use USB Mass Storage. Other than that, it works as it should.
[Nexus S Android Development] rentaric:
Blame the app not the ROM, cause "multitasking" (if that even could be a possible cause for that problem) is working.
[Nexus S Android Development] crzycrkr:
did you then go into settings and enable hardware acceleration? Working for everyone else
[Nexus S Android Development] Darrien13:
Oh just asking because it was working on other roms
[Nexus S Android Development] crzycrkr:
For the NS4G, correct? The eri patch is the key to getting V2 working

look for the ICS thread in the NS4G section. Its in the first post. These directions seem to be working for everyone

[Nexus S Android Development] Darrien13:
1.What does hardware acceleration do for your phone? Is it good and should I enable it?

2.how can you disable the haptic feedback on the keyboard? I turned off the vibrate on touch is the sound settings and it still continues
[Nexus S Android Development] hyakuman:
For those of you who are having the "tiny UI" issue in some apps, 9 times out of 10 it is a result of having "Force GPU rendering" enabled in ICS's developer options (of the system menu). Turn this off if you want maximum compatibility.
[Nexus S Android Development] merlin699:
this is what I get:

think this is meant to be so...
[Nexus S Android Development] mad_vtak:
Unchecked compatibilty mode under spare parts and force GPU rendering under dev options rebooting now.
[Nexus S Android Development] hyakuman:
1. Hardware acceleration means that the phone's GPU is also used to render 2D images (not just 3D graphics of before). It brings about a massive performance increase in rendering pages in the browser and other general UI elements. It is enabled by default and is controlled individually by apps at the API level (and cannot be changed otherwise). You can enable "Force GPU rendering" which will try to force-implement hardware acceleration on apps that have not been upgraded to use the proper API, but this does cause rendering issues on some legacy apps.

2. Haptic feedback for the keyboard is controlled by Android keyboard settings in the "Language & input" section. Uncheck it there and it should be gone.
[Nexus S Android Development] mad_vtak:
Nope that didnt work. One moment while i upload screen shots.

Edit: here are the ScreenShots
[Nexus S Android Development] hyakuman:
I'm sure that's Google's "artistic" conception. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Darrien13:
So is forcing gpu rendering recommended for a faster experience or what?
[Nexus S Android Development] hyakuman:
If it is FCing, then that really has nothing to do with Spare Parts and GPU rendering. You might want to try completely uninstalling and reinstalling Root Explorer.
[Nexus S Android Development] mad_vtak:
Mmkay trying that now....
[Nexus S Android Development] hyakuman:
I would say keep it checked until you run into any rendering problems! Hardware rending will always give a faster experience if it works properly.
[Nexus S Android Development] mad_vtak:
What version of Root Explorer are you using?

I uninstalled and installed and granted access when superuser came up. still getting the same thing.

I am running 2.10.1

Wow thanks it worked ...

Also can you please tell me what Busybox is and what is it used for.

Installed busybox and fixing permissions in ROM Manager worked ..

but when ever I open Busybox it asks me to install on system/xbin. have done 3 times till now ... Do we need to do this everytime ???
[Nexus S Android Development] maniac2403:
busybox gives you a bunch of other linux commands not normally in /system/bin. It allows other apps to use busy box to make changes to your file system. For e.g. Titanium backup requires busybox for doing it's thing.

The busybox app should be run just once and installed. after that you can remove it or keep it for future updates. Busybox will be installed and other apps can now use it.
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Busybox runs in the background.

You should not need to open it or re-install it everytime.

meh didnt work. Oh well. Thanks anyways.

For those who can't make UMS work after wiping and reflashing:

Are you using another kernel? I thought since the sources of this ROM's kernel aren't out other ICS kernels can't implement the fixes, right?
[Nexus S Android Development] kbboykin:
Yes, I used this method to go from V1 to V2 on my NS4G and no issues. Connected to my home WiFi and no reboots. What does not work is USB Mass Storage, connects and immediately disconnects. Bluetooth seems to be working.

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

I followed the earlier similar method, but did not wipe user data and can confirm that all works except as you point out USB Mass Storage doesn't. It just connects and immediately disconnects.
