I gotta quick question regarding these roms and the official release of ics for the nexus s. Other than being less buggy (camera crashing, video playback/codecs, etc.), will there be any other improvements in the day to day usage and performance the device?
[Nexus S Android Development] HeavenlyWinds:
Yes, ota releases have extremely little to no bugs. And nexus devices get optimized releases also. But I'm looking forward to cm9 nightlies.

approximately 2 hours ago i successfully flashed this rom and I would say after 20-30 of having the rom i went to the message app to toy around with the new-and-improved google speech to text and while speaking my phone froze and from since then there hasn't been ANY sound from my phone. i even made a phone call and the person on the other line couldn't hear me :(
[Nexus S Android Development] chalzz:
this is the best rom for me..:D
[Nexus S Android Development] hairyman:
Had held off flashing any ICS until now, however I have to say that after a couple of days of use I am very impressed at the smoothness and stability of the V3 ROM.

As for the signal strength indicator issue; is it broken for everyone or just for some? Has anyone found a workaround? I have read through the thread and couldnt see it resolved anywhere.
[Nexus S Android Development] KBanause:
With this ROM, yes they are broken for everyone. But as stated somewhere in this thread it seems that this ROM won't be continued until the official OTA gets released. So you have to either live with that or you have to get another ROM where they are working...
[Nexus S Android Development] hairyman:
Thanks, at least I know it wasn't something I did! I can live with it.
[Nexus S Android Development] nandihno:
OK very smooth and and no fc

However sorry if it's common knowledge amnew to this ics rom but the wifi signal se very weak

On my gtab 10.1 I get 6Mb with this rom I get like 2mb

I went back to stock 2.3.6 and wifi now works properly

So wondering if I has to do something to boost the signal strength?
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Todays .10 app deals, anyone finding they not Nexus S compatible?

Sims 3 & Apparatus for example. Noticed yesterday NFS Shift was a no go. Is this a ICS thing I wonder?

Anyone else?
[Nexus S Android Development] gruncho:
First, im sorry for my poor English, im a spanish man.

Next: I have the v2 version of this rom. But im not install the v3 version because im waiting for the v4, to solve the problems with video effects.

Do you know when the v4 version will be released?

Thanks so much!

I think v4 will come when the ota drops. I read it somewhere in this thread. ;)

Im losing network like crazy. At least three times a day my signal indicator goes grey and apps complain about no network. It takes at least a minute to come back. Very annoying. Im on Fido (Rogers) in Canada running v3 of this ROM. I didnt have this problem before this ROM.

Also, why doesnt Android keyboard have autocorrect in the browser?
[Nexus S Android Development] gruncho:
But you refers to official rom from google? Or another one?

Trata de usar la version de CM9 le dan mantenimiento semanal y es mucho mejor que esta. A esta version de ICS no le van a dar mas seguimiento. Que tipo de Nexus S tienes ? El Nexus S CDMA o el Nexus S GSM ?
[Nexus S Android Development] gruncho:
Mejor en que sentido? Funciona todo? Es que lo que me gusta de esta es quw es ics puro sin añadidos... y la ultima vez que probe la cm9 la app de wallet se cerraba sola y daba error todo el tiempo.

How is CM9 better? Does everything work?

I like plain ICS, no added stuff...and the last time I used CM the wallet app closed itself, and gave error.

I'm also interested in Cm9 feedback.thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidMilos:
I second that!

Okey sorry, i response in the same language.

Why is better the cm9? Is an android pure ics?

the volume control doesn't work when you're playing music with the screen locked. every single rom i've tried has the same bug. is this something we'll have to wait for OTA to get?

Firstly thanks to Kwiboo for his great work.

Although Kwiboo put his device source on GitHub, it's incomplete and have some problems compared to the ROM he provided.

I made some changes based on Kwiboo's branch to build AOSP successfully and work smoothly.

change list is as below:

1. covert dos format files to unix format files

2. resolve no audio output problem

3. resolve the problem that wifi don't work

4. resolve the problem that camera don't work

Device source code are hosted at GitHub:

netsf/android_device_samsung_crespo

Please enjoy it and feel free to give your feedback.
[Nexus S Android Development] krarvind:
Just as an F.Y.I. I compiled my own from source but used kwiboo's device folder and his kernel folder. everything runs fine. for 2,3,4 you need to compile his kernel or just use his system/modules and system/lib folder. Thanks kwiboo for the efforts.

Qn: Does facelock work on any of the ICS builds ( kwiboo, cm9 etc)?
[Nexus S Android Development] sinik420:
Smh this is how it is supposed to be. It is not a bug or issue or problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] netsf:
I tried Kwiboo's Facklock, just works but not smooth
[Nexus S Android Development] krarvind:
it did? his ICS build didn't even install the apk in my phone, weird. did i miss something?
[Nexus S Android Development] netsf:
Thanks for the information.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Yeah its always worked for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] krarvind:
ok i will try and flash it as a separate zip file and see if that works.

Any update on an MMS fix for V3? I think I've got everything else working now, even got the GPS fixed but no luck on the mms.
[Nexus S Android Development] denverg:
No offense to Kwiboo, because his was my first ICS ROM and he killed it out of the gate. However, he's done with this ROM. So if something is broke, its just going to be broke.

I would suggest moving on to a different ROM, I won't make suggestions, but there are a lot out there now and the development is active.

Please don't take this as trolling, just trying to help.

True true.. kwiboo will return to the game when there are official drivers and etc. Its written in some post wayyy back. :)

In regards to Titanium backup I've read this forum and have had a similar issue, except that mine doesn't hang; it completes the restore and the application even thinks that it is installed but its not. Guess I'm going to have to revert to a manual installation method, unless anyone has suggestions for me?

On the upside this rom is pretty dam good based on initial use, will experiment more and report any other findings.
