did the same and no problem here.

sync ok and calendar works with widget
[Nexus S General] ragnarokx:
Koush will fix it when he fixes it. Not much to talk about :)

[Nexus S General] NPS_CA:
Thread search is BROKEN - so no flaming please - anyone with a i9020t have working gps? Noted Koush's initial comment but seen those with i9020a's showing it does work.
[Nexus S General] got2best:
I can't get Calender to sync and it says almost every words is spelled wrong . Any fix for this?
[Nexus S General] ragnarokx:
Got a fast lock with accuracy to 5m yesterday on alpha 8 with my i9020T.

[Nexus S General] McDV:
Yes, but I have to admit it's a bit strange to complain about USB-storage not working (which you can work around) but accepting that a basic function is broken. ;) I guess lots of people here tend to use their phones more as a toy than as a phone. :D

On the other hand - we can show our friends how good the antennas of our phones are! ;)
[Nexus S General] joackie27:
Slipped on the THANKS button! LOL! I have an i9020t and running the alpha 8. No problem with GPS.
[Nexus S General] king23adrianc:
what is going on with android os??

it is taking my battery nearly as much as my screen :mad:

anyone experienced that?
[Nexus S General] stiefa00:
GPS works fine for me:

[Nexus S General] ragnarokx:
Functionality is of greater importance than aesthetics in alpha builds ;)
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
I'm sure koush is aware of of the "full signal" bug because a lot of people have mentioned it already. That's the reason why I don't talk about it. And the usb mass storage bug is even mentioned in the first post. So there's no need to talk about that one too... but people like to whine about things in this forum instead if trying to read...
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Hey! Quit hanging out here and get crankin on some sweet Oxygen ICS. I kid, I kid ...
[Nexus S General] Koush:
Ah, I'm on i9020A. Let me look into seeing what I need to do to fix it for i9020T.
[Nexus S General] armandopoli:
9023 compatible?
[Nexus S General] mk86:
I think that the problem witht he camcorder is the same as in kwiboo's release.. It simply does not start recording. but no FC or something like that.
[Nexus S General] :
You mean format just data? from cwm mount and storage section?
[Nexus S General] faizalmzain:
no wifi for me either,

i guess will restore to previous ICS rom.
[Nexus S General] LKNim:
Mine is i9023 and it works;)
[Nexus S General] eiabea:
my i9023 won't boot up, stuck @ Google Logo :(
[Nexus S General] qubz:
9023 formatted everythung bar the sdcard and wiped then no boot
[Nexus S General] LKNim:
In order to get 3G working

I have to replace \system\ect\apns-conf.xml from another rom
[Nexus S General] xanadu:
Same here (i9023)
[Nexus S General] faizalmzain:
report from i9023 user:

- wifi doesn't turn on for me.

- MMS app is missing.

- home button acting weirdly at times.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

i9023 booting fine on me but wifi doesn't work.
[Nexus S General] d_phekt:
Thanks Koush. Tried yours and a few others suggestions and still cant get it to flash. Must be just the i9020T with the issue??
[Nexus S General] d_phekt:
Have you tried flashing the wifi patch from the other ICS thread? Worth a shot.
[Nexus S General] Yoz182:
I9023 : Booting but WIFI doesn't work, I can't login with my google account, can't go to the market ...
[Nexus S General] LKNim:
I can confirm that that doesn't work:p
[Nexus S General] dee000000:
Im on T-Mobile Nexus S and wifi works fine. I had to fastboot flash the boot.img because it wouldnt initiatialy boot but now it works. MMS app is missing and camera shortcut provided on home screen goes no where but app does exist and executes.

adb install -l (drag app)

http://www.multiupload.com/DR4BUAFOKJ

and quit complaining.
[Nexus S General] shubu000:
confirm that i9020T does not boot past the logo, not daring enough right now to flash the boot.img,

look forward to your great work koush :D
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
Where is boot.img ? in the Zip file ?
[Nexus S General] dee000000:
should be right inside the zip.. not inside a folder
[Nexus S General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
ahhhh, so happy i have i9020a...

oh and *subscribed*
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
I would use an Oxygen ICS ROM if there would be one ;)

But until then...
[Nexus S General] McDV:
That's right, but the signal strength has to do with functionality. :-) When I'm in a call and have a bad connection, I'd really like to see if it's me with bad connection or the opposite person.

@KBanause: Should I read 58 pages?! Great if you got the time, I don't get Hartz IV...
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
I'm looking forward to one.
[Nexus S General] luke1500:
Working great, i9023

Great work Koush, thank you.

I can confirm that I do have working Google apps, including Calendar sync, Gmail and Maps with alpha 9. I used "wipe data/factory reset" from Clockworkmod recovery, followed by install of full_crespo-ota-eng.koush.zip and gapps-ics-20111122-4-full.zip.

ICS runs so incredibly smooth, better than Gingerbread on my phone which is a big surprise. The new browser is super fast! I am very happy using this daily.

As standard the (UK English) spell checker will think every word is incorrect. To correct this, edit the Spelling Correction settings from the Languages & Input settings from "Android correction" to the other "Android correction". As a bonus, speech to text works in alpha 9 too!

To echo others, built in USB removable storage is not working nor is the signal indicator, but that is about it.

Phone is i9023, standard kernel.

and only 98 Thanks to Koush? I suggest everyone got back to the original post and show some appreciation for his hard work getting you all a very functional ICS.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19552156&postcount=1
[Nexus S General] ragnarokx:
I see - then I suggest getting a signal strength widget in the meantime that displays dB. I'm sure one can be had for free on the Market.
[Nexus S General] xuser:
Can anyone please confirm if Alpha 9 is able to connect to adhoc network via wifi? Thanks!
[Nexus S General] FloHimself:
@Koush: I think Kwiboo committed the usb driver backports needed?!
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
very smooth rom! :Donly wifi doesnt work (it hangs at turning wifi on)for me on all ics roms i've tried..

that sucks badly..

you guys think I sould get a new nexus s?(i have 2 years warranty)

or should i wait till the official update and when its not working then i exchange it for a new one then?
[Nexus S General] Enhanced:
Uhh, I think it would be unwise to warranty your Nexus S because an alpha ROM's Wifi doesn't work...(wifi works fine for me by the way).

Kinda drastic no?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
no i said, IF it doesnt work with the official update, then I will warranty it ;)
[Nexus S General] Loggerhead87:
I was wondering why it looked so washed out...
[Nexus S General] Enhanced:
No you didn't. You asked 2 questions:

You didn't use the word "if" at all anywhere. They were both questions, none of them were statements.
[Nexus S General] j2eubank:
ahhh... koush got his galaxy nexus.. no more time for this.... :p
[Nexus S General] vinjakanja:
Great rom!! Thx so much!!

Here is my feedback (from i9023):

- No usb mount (need to go to recovery)

- Camera recording is working, but video playing is much laggy!!!

Running alpha 9 (without wipes from alpha 8)
[Nexus S General] Heeter:
Ughh!

I just wish titanium backup would update already!!!

[Nexus S General] brainmaster:
What is wrong with it? It works fine for me.
[Nexus S General] lcchan1:
When I ran TB (or install apk via file manager), I got error (from packaginstaller) - application not installed. Apps installed thru Market OK.
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
TB Does not work in Active mode properly and just hangs. They are working on an update. ATM you have to restore each app one by one.
[Nexus S General] lcchan1:
I cant even do that - when TB restore, I got a error (from packageinstaller) - application not installed.

TB restored used to work in ICS beta version.
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
The SDK Hacked Build was not Beta it was Alpha at best. It's not ASOP.

In TB change your options to Preferences / Migrate System Data and App Processing Mode to Auto, Indirect. That will allow to to restore your SMS/MMS/Calls etc (System data) but not apps.

When you have restore your data, reboot.

Then change TB to App Processing Mode / Classic. You will have to restore apps one by one.

I've tested it on two phones. I'm waiting untill more bugs have been ironed out in this build and TB is update personally :)
[Nexus S General] syntax_gosong:
It seems that this ROM doesn't really run very well.

I experienced a not really smooth feeling while trying this ROM.

But overall, I thanked to Koush who really passionate to built

and compile the stock to us....
[Nexus S General] baolongn:
Can we flash alpha 9 over alpha 8? Or is a wipe needed
[Nexus S General] novagol:
well I got the calendar sync working now after doing a complete wipe of system, data, cache. all of the essential things seem to work now, kudos to koush!

the only drawback that I can see is poor video support from the gallery (I.e. can't change the volume when playing, limited video format support) so I wonder has anyone managed to get diceplayer working - mine starts but when I try to play a video it just closes/crashes
[Nexus S General] mik-:
Hi,

9023 on orange (France) with KF1 radio.

Each ICS rom I tried had the same effect. I have 3g (data) when I boot first time. I lost data connection if I reboot or if I turn wifi on and off. Problem is : I can't find a way to enable data again. So each time I come back to CM 9 and retry with each new alpha.

Am I the only one ?

Mik
[Nexus S General] jaestreetss:
Has anybody tried gtalk video ?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Hi Mik

I have problems with wifi on each ics rom.

It just hangs at "turning wifi on"

I have a i9023 too.
[Nexus S General] netninja:
Alpha 9 is the smoothest most stable of the Koush ICS roms currently. Only issue I find is that the Gmail app is a tad laggy.

Everything works like it should. Nexus S here.
[Nexus S General] AaronMT:
Anyone able to install an updated Google Maps from market without getting a signature failure message? (Sorry search isn't working on the forums this evening).
[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
Anytime your dealing with roms where each upgrade has huge changes you should do a full wipe for OPTIMAL results. May not be needed but if you have issues you will never know if it's the ROM or cause you were too lazy to wipe. Just my two cents.
[Nexus S General] deejaylobo:
Anyone else thinks that vertical scrolling is really sticky/heavy on ICS?
[Nexus S General] rrohanjs:
+1 for sure .. especially sticky after using whatsapp for sometime, scrolling becomes a pain
[Nexus S General] anshulajain:
+1 as well. The real game changer for ICS was the use of GPU acceleration to make the UI faster. By enabling GPU acceleration under developer options the UI slows down by a lot. Back to GB and will wait for CM9 or Adam to release their builds.
[Nexus S General] faizalmzain:
why does it matter if it's flashed successfully?

Remove /system/lib/egl/libGlES_android.so and its fine.

EDIT: I didn't quite understand what you meant with sticky/heavy until now, that's how ICS behaves, just different from Gingerbread. Although deleting that file improves 3D ****, easy to see with quadrant.
[Nexus S General] arika44:
what's the bad side for removing this file?

For those that have purchased Root Explorer, does it work? I see very awkward screen sized.. unable to control.
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
Because my nexus wont boot up even after it flashes successfully.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Turn off compatibility mode in spareparts and reboot.

EDIT: You might need to download spareparts from the market.
[Nexus S General] ssconceptz:
Can anyone confirm working on D720?
[Nexus S General] droidance:
I downloaded Spare Parts but this app also opens like Root Explorer :(
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Do they open in a shrinked screen in the botton left of your screen? Spareparts plus opens fine for me.
[Nexus S General] droidance:
Yes it's shrinked on the bottom left. It's very hard to read anything since texts are maybe font sized 2 or so.
[Nexus S General] chuckenfoot:
Go to settings and turn off hardware acceleration, the do what was listed through spare parts.
[Nexus S General] onasri15:
Get root browser? Same thing happened to me on root explorer so I got that instead. Don't know solution to shrinked screen problem though, I'd like to know too.
[Nexus S General] droidance:
This method worked. Download Spare Parts, uncheck Compatibility Mode, reboot, and it worked :D

something Definately wrong with the SIGNAL bars in the status area.

Theres no way i have FULL signal all day long in my basement, trust me

don't turn off hardware acceleration!! its smoother when its on

Haven't noticed if anyone report this yet so I hope not, there is a small anoying bug when you're out of the music player you can't change the volume. So if music plays in the backgour you can only hadle the ringing volume and it doesn't work when the phone's locked either. I't nothing big but it's anoying ^_^

this is with ALL ICS at the moment (exept DrewGarens, cause i didn´t try his)

[Nexus S General] springah:
lol, the words 'voodoo' and BLN should be banned from all ICS posts..

:confused: what is the problem with BLN?
[Nexus S General] rrohanjs:
1.anyone found out how to turn of background data ?

2. sms blocker app aint working by optinno .. it says UNFORTUNATELY SMS BLOCKER HAS STOPPED .. it use to work with gingerbread .. app issue or rom ?
[Nexus S General] icecoldbong:
imo all third party app complaints should be held back until koush deems the rom (stock ics itself) stable enough to call it beta. this thread almost feels like a non-nexus forum on a day of OTA with everyone freaking out
[Nexus S General] TommyDom:
Just downloaded the ROM. I was not able to unlock unless I had a SIM card installed. FYI.

EDIT: I noticed that I am having to pull all of my non-purchased apps down from Market. Everything I bought is showing up, but nothing else. Id this a mis-match on compatibility to ICS from other Android releases?
[Nexus S General] SS2006:
Nice work!
[Nexus S General] springah:
just not anything the devs cares about right now. too busy getting everything to work properly stock. BLN and Voodoo - in a decent form - will be out after OTA..
[Nexus S General] MultiCulti:
never had any issue with BLN?! ... it´s anyway a Kernel thing, and not a ROM thing ;) same as Vodoo
[Nexus S General] SS2006:
can you try your google talk ^

let me know if it force closes when you try to video or voice chat

I want to see if its a problem with brainmasters mix only
[Nexus S General] MultiCulti:
sorry, this is one of the first APK´s i´m deleting after flashing a ROM :D
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
My Talk crashes when receiving a video call, but then, it used to do that on Gingerbread too. Plus I only have one friend with a video capable phone and ROM, so it's not a feature I really need...
[Nexus S General] Xusko17:
Hi guys! Nice work!!!! I flashed this ROM 2 days ago and it's very stable. But I've a problem...yesterday I was talking with my girlfriend and the mobile rebooted twice...and suddenly I didn't listen her...The first day I hadn't any problem...but since I installed the Alpha 9....yes. When I've wake up this morning (In Spain now it's 9:00 a.m) I've to put the pin code because the mobiles has rebooted.

Do you have any solution please?? Thanks!!!

P.D: Sorry for my English!!!:p
[Nexus S General] art_sn00p:
GT force closes for me too trying to make video or voice chat.
[Nexus S General] droidance:
Anyway to make the latest Google Maps to work? I deleted the old version to install the new version and it doesn't install..

i recently got my nexus s but im kinda confused. Does this work with Sprint Nexsus S ?
[Nexus S General] ahdee:
it works on both i9020 and i9023, but not on 4G.

be reminded that this is not an official build. the op devoted his time to work on the AOSP and let us enjoy it before the official one comes out.
[Nexus S General] sweetpiggy:
same here.... but my charger is not perfect: with GB too, moving the charger cable make a strange charging/no charging... with ICS it freeze my nexy :(

i've to buy a new one :)

go to setting/languace/speech and set 'pico TTS'

same here
[Nexus S General] MultiCulti:
since Koush Alpha 9 and franco´s 11/24 it never happens :D
[Nexus S General] zipredictive:
same here talk fcs

This Rom is awesome smooth and stable...

Minor problems like google talk and calendar sync
[Nexus S General] midafaya:
I had the same problem this morning with brainmaster and franco's 11/23

Pluging the charger freezed the phone.

Didn't happen since I flashed franco's 11/24
[Nexus S General] rrohanjs:
goin back to nexus mv19 .. ics doesnt excite me n too many bugs for me to use it as a daily rom ..

scrolling is laggy, many games crash some apps dnt start ..

will wait for cm or miui to work their magic ..
[Nexus S General] MultiCulti:
Maybe someone is intrested:

My Config:

Koush´s Alpha 9 slightly modded by myself

live_oc 100

DeepIdle ON

screenoff_max_freq ON

gov: lazy

IME and dictionary (german)

calendar sync

SMS/MMS

data usage

Bugs/Issues:

signal strengh shows always FULL

Simi Calendar Widget FC

flash from Camera is sometimes crazy (black areas in picture)

still GB notification sounds

music app from GB (i switched it)

sound volume always just changing the active app loudness

so, for me i use it already as daily ROM and i´m really happy with it, now i don´t need ADW Launcher EX anymore :D
[Nexus S General] deejaylobo:
Another thing I've noticed on both ICS builds is a kind of infinite redirect that happens on some web pages. Usually ends in the page not loading, and when it happens in an app like StumbleUpon it crashes the app.
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
I noticed that too so i took the /system/media/audio folder from the UK Galaxy Nexus dump and made a zip that replaces the existing one with it... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360448

one less bug for you ;)
[Nexus S General] MultiCulti:
yes, i know this, but i actually don´t care about the sounds :D just wrote it, so other know´s this before flashing ;)

AND, i tryied this as well in Alpha 8, but after this, the System Sounds didn´t work anymore!
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
Hopefully next updates include off the hacks and fixes and proper sounds! Ill probably have my galaxy nexus by the time bugs are worked out :D
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
Koush got his Galaxy Nexus yesterday, I think we should expect the development of this ROM to slow down a bit.
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
Not only that. All AOSP Roms run very well and with very little issues. The only thing we need to wait for now is the official release from google...
[Nexus S General] deejaylobo:
The Dialer app is really slow to load, huh?
[Nexus S General] :
Is anyone else getting weird sound when you connect a pair of headphones?
[Nexus S General] midafaya:
Yes, same thing for me, very slow to load.

Gmail is slow to load too.
[Nexus S General] Harshwardhan:
I do not like the ICS dialer, gingerbread dialer looks much better imo.
[Nexus S General] belair56:
For an old man, the best feature is large fonts.
[Nexus S General] zipredictive:
:D earth stopped working...

yesterday I had no problem...

I know I know who cares , its an alpha :)

Do you guys think these problems with apps fcing depends on the early stage of these alpha/beta roms or because those apps were

developed for GB?

I agree dialer is sooo slow!

Ps. damnit why is it so difficult to recognize my face!how does ur face unlock work?
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
I have no face.

That said, I took a photo of my mate and used it to unlock his Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not overly thrilled with Face Unlock anyway.
[Nexus S General] zipredictive:
:D

... so thats why u bought Mrs Clark a Galaxy Nexus .... :)

Edit: Nevermind... I thought ur mate was ur girlfriend... But I have just read "his" Galaxy Nexus... so he s just ur room mate I think
[Nexus S General] jobarr:
Mate = Friend in British English. ;)
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
These apps have to be made to work with ICS. If there are preexisting ones that work now, we just got lucky. Even when ICS drops for our phones it will be awhile before the majority of apps switch over because there will still be very few phones with ICS on them. Most people will still be on GB and some even still on Froyo so I imagine app makers are more interested in keeping those people happy first as we will be the minority for a while.
