Anyone have a link or can host the gapps w/ wallet in them? I checked http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111125.zip and don't see any wallet.apk in the zip, or the other wallet files.

You guys sure this was part of gapps, and not one of the alpha versions of the rom itself?

edit: nevermind, found the version with wallet in it http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip
[Nexus S General] chronikfatigue:
There's no Market installed? What are people doing for downloading apps?

Don't worry, I figured it out. :D

But what about syncing my account to the phone?

Ditto! Market does it when I install the below-mentioned gapps! :p
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
you need the gapps (google apps zip as well), and flash those after flashing rom.

Wow. Quadrant just gave me a score of 1100, CM7 gives me over 3000! I think I might wait a few builds before going ics
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Quadrant means nothing. It hasn't been updated for ages. Also hence "alpha."

ICS build will be smoother than GB anyway because of HW accel. Download a kang version of CM9, it's far more improved than OP. Also bits of CM9 goodies are included in the kang! :)

Is it possible to reduce the battery discharging of the Android OS? Android OS discharges nearly twice Screen does.
[Nexus S General] Alicklee:
my take on this

I am going back to my gingerbread for now.

I wiped data and installed off of ROM Manager and retested before reporting this bug.

the bad so far

ok after using it for a full day and running though 2 batteries. battery life sucks big time.

the rom is some what stable but i still get network drops all the time.

there a lot of apps dont work right. superuser is not working with the latest one so far.

I cant listen to my music from di.fm or sky.fm at 96kbps it just wont play. I have to use lower bite rate to have it run.

the good

voodoo does work with this.

I love the new lock screen and menu ui. the wedgets section is awesome.

most game and apps dont have volume control from home screen or lock screen.

camera does crash ramdomly.

the gfx and ui is awesome I cant wait for the final release or even ics for nexus s.

the gmail app is so much better now.

there is a lot to look forward to but as of now alpha is still a steping stone.

thanks anyways CM guys! :)
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
Is there any more updates coming? Just hoping for more updates soon to fix the remaining major issues like MMS and Wifi?
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
Mate, this is an Alpha ROM. I wouldn't worry about things like battery life. If you can't live with it as it is, run a stable gingerbread ROM until this becomes at least a beta. You could also try Franco's ICS kernel. Some have had good results with that.

I should think so. This is Alpha 11! There are bound to be more Alphas, Betas and stable releases. Don't mean to be captain obvious here but YES there are bugs in an Alpha release and YES things like battery life are likely to be a bit off.

Those are the bits that get fixed last so I wouldn't expect a proper daily driver ROM until at least the Beta stage. Personally I have found this to be the most stable Alpha ROM I've ever tried. I've been using it for a few days and not had any deal-breaking bugs that made me want to ditch it yet.

Great ROM Koush and team
[Nexus S General] art_sn00p:
Can't use GB roms anymore )) ICS is so sweet and smooth even in alfa version
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
I'm the same, can't go back now. GB would feel prehistoric in comparison...
[Nexus S General] MistaJae:
+1

Everything that I used on GB works with this ICS Alpha, so I just can't go back!

Also, I think people should use their phone without changing ROMs & Kernels every 5 mins (I know how hard that is because I have a flashing addiction like many others). I think that after 2 or 3 charge cycles on the same ROM & Kernel setup, battery life improves!

GMail, Youtube, Maps apps are up and running but they are not attached to the Android Market. It means I can not update them.

Already tried to manually install (did not find them on Market) and repair using Titanium.

Any tips?

Hi, I tried but I still can't download from market music app..

I got everything works right now. Franco kernel gives BLN right?

Also I noticed that in ICS, when I receive a SMS, the notification bar should display the sender's display picture (provided I have set it up of course). Yet mine doesnt shows up, any idea? If I were taking a screen shot, the screenshot will be used as thumbnail in the notification bar.

The only thing doesnt work for me at the moment is calendar sync, which I can live with it now :)

[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
How hard would it be to make it so the volume buttons unlock the phone? My power button is broken and I know there are apps on the market that let you do this, but they are horrid, especially on ics. Cm7 has a setting that works flawlessly which is what would be ideal. Let me know if any of you guys have some ideas because I'm tired of gingerbread :(

maps 6 inside?
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
Yup, Maps 6, Market 3.3.12 and Music 4.0.9 along with all the other stuff.

I'm at work so can't test - need someone to try it for me.
[Nexus S General] AndroidUser00110001:
Maybe it is because of your location?

I attached the latest Music from market, you can install it from the SD Card...
[Nexus S General] AndroidUser00110001:
You should remove all apps that can be found from market before installing ROM and GApps. Can cause problems like what is is doing with Maps...
[Nexus S General] RaQHoliday:
Ok, I'm missing something somewhere...

I opened Root Explorer, mounted /system/app as R/W, copied the files above to /system/app, updated the permissions for each of the three to match all other files in the folder, rebooted.

Now Calendar has disappeared from the App Tray, and Wallet keeps force closing when I reboot; when I look in /system/app, all three apk's are still present and have the correct permissions. Where'd I make the mistake?

I'd have pushed them via ADB, but ADB doesn't seem to be working on Alpha 11...
[Nexus S General] AndroidUser00110001:
Gmail and Youtube are the latest so no need to worry about updating them.

Remove maps by doing this, must have adb installed

adb remount

adb shell

su

rm /system/app/Maps.apk

pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

reboot

When you load market you will be able to updgrade
[Nexus S General] zipredictive:
Maps 6 working, Calendar sync working

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
Indeed, for those that wish to be able to install and update via the Market this would be the best solution.

Anyone can do this themselves, it's only a zip file..... :D

ADB via USB doesn't work? I've tried reinstalling the drivers. They used to work with gingerbread..
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
Ok, need a little help.

Everything was fine with this until I tried Franco's kernel. It failed to even boot so I went back to recovery and, using the advanced restore function, restored just the boot area. Now it boots but WiFi doesn't work anymore!

I extracted boot.img from the ROM and flashed that in fastboot but the same is happening. Should I just restore the whole nandroid?
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
I think you should restore the whole nandroid. This is weird, I am using franco's kernel with no problems.
[Nexus S General] frankxanders:
Found a couple bugs. Running the Canadian Nexus s.

"Google wallet has stopped working" message is really persistant. Any time I open wallet , and every few minutes after booting up. Seems to stop after 10 or 15 but still can't actually get wallet to work.

Calendar sync is broken as well. Trying to sync from system account settings does nothing for the ".calendar" process (but sync for everything else is great.) Trying to sync from within calendar causes FC

[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
Fixed it. I did an advanced restore of the System portion too and it's working now. Dunno why Franco's kernel didn't work for me though. It just got stuck at the Google logo and looping that.

I'm happy enough with the one in this ROM for now.

You should have a unknown device in device manager. Double click it -> Update driver -> Browser my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list -> Show all devices -> Have disk -> select the android_winusb.inf in your usb_driver folder in the sdk -> android adb interface -> click yes to the prompt -> install

[Nexus S General] Iananan:
If you have a titanium backup of kwiboo's rom or similar, restoring just the calendar storage app (which seems to be missing from this rom) appears to fix the calendar sync problem. It just has for me anyway.

[Nexus S General] docsamsom:
ICS is definitely a brilliant experience, however I am not sure if this is a daily ROM for me yet. I keep getting FCs on various apps such as Maps. Also, after downloading a few apps the OS has definitely become very sluggish.

Went back to Gingerbread and the responsiveness and stability is really refreshing. Looking forward to coming back once we have gone beyond the alpha stage.

Must say that I really enjoyed playing with ICS and thank the developers for providing us with options to play around until the official updates are out.
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
There was some problem with your installation, have you wiped everything before installing the rom? I am using it for 3 days and had no FCs or slugishness at all.. definetly good for daily use in my opinion.
[Nexus S General] harman2:
I like to know what kernel is recomended
[Nexus S General] Mrcojocaru:
According to engadgets ICS review, the OS is supposed to have a built in screen capture feature. It is supposed to work when you press the power button and volume down. Has anybody got it to work yet?

beamed in from my Nexus S on ICS using my brain
[Nexus S General] navjot94:
Yeah, hold it down for a few seconds
[Nexus S General] Mrcojocaru:
This rom is very stable and quick for me too. I do get a little lag once in a while but not enough to keep me from using it everyday. I love it and I can't even imagine going back to gingerbread.

Try it again buddy. Make sure you do a clean installation the way it says in the instructions.
[Nexus S General] kalinusa:
My 2 cents of experience after 1 day:

- Clean fresh install, I have not reinstalled all my 150 apps from Titanium. i just install only when it comes to my mind to use it.

- No FCs, it is decently fast.

- the Gmail app does not show up in market

- The Maps app cannot update: Package was not signed...

- Gmail: I did notice constant notification at several occasions.

- Apps that do not work:

TANGO -> there is no video from my camera

BUSINESS CALENDAR -> does not detect the available google calendars. Native Calandar works fine.

I only have a few observations. Have not tried much stuff.
[Nexus S General] webblade:
It works cheers.
[Nexus S General] ChucCTaylor:
I have a problem I'm trying to update Google maps to 6.0, I've tried everything the default market update and that didn't work then I tried to install it from one of the apk downloads and then last and I even uninstalled it and tried those steps again. Can I get some help with this? Has it happened to anyone else?
[Nexus S General] docsamsom:


Hi, I did a clean install after a full wipe. Was pretty good to start with...but started slowing down after a few days. Not sure what the problem is...maybe its just my phone. But tried reinstalling as per the developers suggestion...problems recur after a few days.

Will definitely come back in a couple of weeks to try it out again.

Does anyone know why some apps display really small? Is it just because they are not compatible with ics yet?

[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
If you want to fix your maps, delete the maps.apk from /system/app in the gapps.zip file before flashing. (from fresh install of rom)

The gmail doesn't show up cause the market version is currently 2.3.5.2, while the ICS version is 4.0.1

Anyone have a link for the gapps with google wallet......?

[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip

Delete /system/app/maps.apk and google earth from them before flashing so you can just get latest from market.

edit: I wouldn't use the ones in the post above me. I used to, but they are signed different then Koush signs his apps. So you'll run into problems with apps not installing down the road.

edit2: Here's is a mod of gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip where I just stripped out everything but the wallet files, edited the scripts, so you can always use these with CM9 going forward while using latest gapps.. I haven't tested it, since I already have my phone setup. but Should work.

I've anyone tries them, post back if they work.
[Nexus S General] LGIQEXPO:
Normal E-Mail?

I wiped data and installed off of ROM Manager and retested before reporting this bug.

I am curious if this is a known problem or not

The phone is working almost 100% accept a few glitches here and therm but nothing that bad. I am unable to use the regular email app at all or sign into it with any of my emails. Gmail works no problems but the email app opens with two errors, first the "Exchange service has stopped" then the "Email service has stopped.

Also I am wondering if it is normal to get around 1500 in quadrant with this ROM.

Thanks for the help guys :)

overall, UI seems very smooth.

gallery seems broken (doesn't show online pics)

No browser listed in sync's (although it hasn't worked in any ICS roms for me, so it not being there is no big deal for now).

includes old music app (can easily be removed from system/apps though)

camcorder looks as if it is recording, but during attempts to playback, shows 0:00 for length and doesn't play

No USB mass storage

Data usage doesn't show which apps are using data
