[Nexus S General] chinitiw:
Thanks Koush , great job as usual
[Nexus S General] rockb.blues:

[Nexus S General] Windst:
now we just need it for Nexus S 4g
[Nexus S General] MYPaT:
i got stuck at google screen when try to boot up.
[Nexus S General] renna1992:
koush i have one little question: would you recommend using the kernel that comes with the rom or a custom kernel like glados/franco/..?
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
Same here :(

Dont want to sound dumb but what do people mean their home button is not working. Mine goes back to main home screen when pressed and if held the task manager pops up. Should it be doing something else?

Alpha4 released on Rom manager.... any changelog?
[Nexus S General] renna1992:
would be interested too :)
[Nexus S General] Koush:
Alpha 5 released. Lots of fixes. Changelog in main post.
[Nexus S General] faizalmzain:
perhaps camcorder is partially working since i can record and save video when i tried alpha3.

the video saved in mp4 format.
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Yep it seems the issue is the video playback not the recording since they play back fine on rooted stock 2.3.6.
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
Alpha 5, Home button still not working on my I9023 :(
[Nexus S General] Koush:
Just fixed camcorder. Alpha 6 coming up.
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
Is your ROM the best ICS for Nexus S? So many versions now. I'm betting it is because your the writer of ROM Manager :D

Reboot Menu for CM9 Alpha11

This adds the reboot options in power down menu. Works on CM9 Alpha11. No need for Alpha12 since it is built in.

Just install attached zip file with ROM Manager or through recovery.
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
I don't know if it's necessary to include the screenshot function into the power off menu since it's already built into ICS...
[Nexus S General] ijama:
We all miss "crackflasher" day like we used to be before..still waiting for update from CM team..lol

[Nexus S General] shockem:
Thanks for the info, would hit the thanks button but reached the limit lol. I ended up flashing it and it is much much faster. Suprisingly i do not get long lags and stuff. Just works.
[Nexus S General] endursa:
i can't for the love of the universe, get my gallery to sync my picasa foto albums, don't know why :(

[Nexus S General] Zisi911:
same thing happens to me
[Nexus S General] intothevoid:
Has everyone been wiping there devices to factory settings to flash Alpha 12 or just dalvik and cache wipes are enough ? Obviously I am running Alpha 11 right now.

Thanks
[Nexus S General] adclem:
I did a full wipe, but it is not necessary. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache should be good.

Is anyone available to buy apps through Market 3.3.1.2 ?

I can't get past the "checkout"-screen where i confirm the purchase...

I've tried removing my card, but i couldnt readd it through market, so i had to do this via the computer (i can also buy apps through Web Market).

So, can someone buy apps through market? I am using CM9 Alpha 12...

If there is a fix, please tell :)

Download link for Alpha 12

Where is the download link for Alpha 12? Page 1 of this thread has not been updated.

Only links ive found for it are on a chinese site (apps and cm9 alpha 12) which are painfully slow to transfer.
[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
In rom manager where your suppost to download it from.
[Nexus S General] labbbby:
You have to explore Clockwork's site a little:

gtalk force closes

hi koush, kudos for ur awsum work...it works exceptionally well on my 9023 except a small bug...

when sum of my frnds tried to call me in gtalk the talk app get force closes when ever they call..
[Nexus S General] provolinoo:
Basically Alpha 12 is the same of latest kangs without cherry picks
[Nexus S General] maniac2403:
I am facing a similar problem. Went back to Alpha 11. Tried clearing cache, clean wipe, and installing older gapps. Nothing worked
[Nexus S General] ChucCTaylor:
I just updated to Alpha 12 of this ROM and now my WiFi isnt working
[Nexus S General] droidance:
Is there a way to make fix permission work on Terminal Emulator? It used to work on Gingerbread ROMs, but it seems to not work anymore on any of the ICS ROMs (including all SDK, Alpha ROMs).
[Nexus S General] asb123:
Purchase through market.android.com
[Nexus S General] rockstarmode:
Updated to Alpha 12 and everything I tested (other than market purchases) seems to be working:

* wifi

* a2dp bluetooth

* Google account sync (including photos, calendar and G+)

Market gives an error when trying to purchase an app.

Only bug I've noticed other than the market is when playing the screen off animation a brief flash of the screen tinted green is seen just after the animation is done playing.

I did a full wipe when installing alpha 11, then just did a dalvik/cache wipe before going to alpha 12 and the new gapps, then a permissions fix just before the next boot.
[Nexus S General] labbbby:
Did you flash a different Kernel? Wifi should be fine with Kernel packaged in A12...

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

I have that since I flashed AOSP based ICS Rom, was wondering if I was alone...

Seems to me like only green sub pixels stay on during half a second or so. Weird
[Nexus S General] owenjm:
Thanks, and yes, I saw that (post is here for those interested) -- an extra 8Mb per accelerated process apparently on the NS. It's a bit scary if that adds up to a total ~60-70 Mb hit on RAM, though!

In the post, Dianne talks about removing hw accel on the NS for certain processes such as the status bar, phone, system UI to save RAM; I'm wondering if this strategy has already been used in these CM builds, or whether that's an optimisation that's still to be applied?
[Nexus S General] ChucCTaylor:
o yeah i did i flashed francos kernel let me do it again without the kernel, ill let you know
[Nexus S General] labbbby:
From what I saw, there was a Wifi driver update, kernels need to be modified. Franco is working on fixing the Kernel. You can always flash the Kernel at a later time.
[Nexus S General] ChucCTaylor:
yeah it was cause of the kernel, thanks for the heads up
[Nexus S General] intothevoid:
Anyone having an issue with the capacitive buttons staying lit after the screen goes out? I keep having this from time to time. Using Alpha 12 and everything stock. I also notice when sometimes powering the device off there is a flash of something. Looks like the calender with the time like the lock screen.
[Nexus S General] Pentium:
I didn't change the kernal packed in Alpha 12 but still no luck with WiFi, if I flashed the rom without my SIM installed WiFi just works fine!
[Nexus S General] selectormoldy:
I've noticed the buttons stay illuminated sometimes too... does this new kernel have BLN?
[Nexus S General] weidong.yi:
But I can't purchase any apps from market.android.com, as I am in China...
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Just a heads up i don't think NFC works in 12 not sure about older builds but if you're getting annoying micro stutter which pretty much every one should its pretty annoying

its the NFC service think its trying to start up

you cant disable NFC threw settings because its greyed out

just go into titanium and delete nfc service and reboot it will get rig of the micro stutter

[Nexus S General] Sly Bastard:
Yes, it is the kernel. Had this issue with previous versions as it makes Noled not work as well. Am waiting for a franco to update his kernel as nil issue with it.
[Nexus S General] Hellafax:
Just realized Google 'Car Home' isn't available for ICS :( I liked using that in the...uh...car.

Ah well, new version will be coming I'm sure.

Has anyone had issues with Tasker, specifically around the ' KeyGuard Off' action? It will work for a while, and then...stop.

Other Market issue: I'm automatically prompted periodically for Updated apps via the Market app -- but selecting it simply shows what I have installed - nothing about updating an unknown app...

Alpha 12 is excellent - finally feels like a final product. The incoming tweaks by Koush and the CM team will be the awesomesauce that is why we buy Nexus devices :)
[Nexus S General] intothevoid:
Well at least I am not the only one with the issue. Was thinking of doing a factory wipe and reinstalling to see if that resolved it. Feel like 11 was a lot more stable. Phone just restarted after being non-responsive.

everything works for me, did you flash a different kernel? cause when i did that stuff didn't work for me either.
[Nexus S General] kaimyn:
I just installed alpha12 and while the market works on my phone, the web interface won't recognize my device. Is anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus S General] provolinoo:
It's not an issue, it's a feature... it's called BLN :)

Basically it makes capacitive buttons behave like a notification led :D
[Nexus S General] Sly Bastard:
It is actually not as if you use BLN, it is not installed. also cannot turn it off. Irrespective I prefer NoLED and it stops it from working.
[Nexus S General] footballpics.info:
does Alpha 12 has a kernel 3.x?
[Nexus S General] Jimos:
Alpha 12 is such a battary drinker.... hope for next update.
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
Do you have a backup from Titanium? I restored that on mine and it works fine.

Alternatively there are some pretty good third party equivalent apps on the market
[Nexus S General] Abaddon:

[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:

[Nexus S General] intothevoid:
Is that the tags program you are referring to or there is actually a way to remove services from titanium bkp and I am not seeing it.
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
NFC works great for me. I am using the NFC Task Launcher app from the market which triggers various activities and Tasker tasks based on some tags I have on my desk and in my car and it all works great on Alpha 12

[Nexus S General] demo23019:
not sure if NFC works but the process was giving me huge CPU usage spikes every 5 sec or so its annoying.

Go to dev options in settings and show CPU usage. you will always see stuff going on but com.android.nfc3 process takes huge cpu spikes.

Run CPU usage in background and go to app drawer and keeping scrolling once that process starts it lags pretty bad and it starts every 5 sec or so.

oh i removed the actual process got a bluetooth icon next to it and says NFC on titanium. you may have to pull battery after you remove because you will keep getting errors about the process not working

There is a lot of user errors.
[Nexus S General] palmirotheking:
Hi, where is possible to find the download of the alpha 12?

With the alpha 11 I have a problem with the execution of Viber, Copilot and TTS. Moreover, when I try to reproduce recorded videos or not, the reproduction is very slow. Each 2-3 seconds it has a lag.

Someone has the same problems and it has been able to solve them?

I had the same problems also with this kind of rom "[ROM][AOSP] ICS build for Nexus S - v3"

Thx
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
alpha 12 as posted a few pages back. And Koush said to DL from ROM manager anyways.

TTS is an easy fix: system settings -> language and input -> Text to speech output -> pico tts
[Nexus S General] Spittal:
Yeah, SEUV Alpha 3. Never had WiFi problems before when I was running Kwiboo's or Drew Garin's Roms.

Can you recommend a Kernel that will work... that also has Voodoo colour support?
[Nexus S General] Tzorg:
From alpha 12 only the stock kernel that comes with the ROM or Steve Garon's latest kernel have working wifi, this is because a change on the wifi module not compatible with any older kernel.

I guess other kernels will catch up at some point.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:

Massive battery drain. Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] cttttt:
Don't let this stop you! If you're in a fix, you can always go to the Market website and grab all the apps you need.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Try clicking on the graph to see what features in your phone could be contributing to the drain (Is the display on the whole time? Are you getting rough signal? Is WIFI off during times when you ought to have been in range of an AP?).

If you're noticing that even when the display is off, with good signal and Wifi working as it should, you're getting battery drain, try using an app like BetterBatteryStatus ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 ) to identify processes that may be keeping your phone from going to sleep. What you're looking for are programs with high volumes of WakeLocks.

Please report back with what you figure out.

Would it be possible to add an option to long-press to force close an app like CM7? :D
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
Which version do you use? Are you on 3G all the time? Do you have better reception with 2G (if you can switch to it, then you should do it when you don't need 3G)? Are you using any custom kernel?

According to the signal bars you are having a very good 3G connection or you are not using Alpha 12 (where the signal bars are fixed).

Alpha 12 has the best battery life of all ICS ROMs I have already tried. 24% left after 16 hours with at least 2hours music over BT and 2G for at least 10 hours (whith older alphas and other ROMs I would have been at 5%-2%)...

If you still don't get the download, then try a reboot and repeat the process.
[Nexus S General] shaunmclane:
I'm having two issues that I haven't seemed mentioned, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's just me.

1 - Spotify doesn't work. Not a big deal, and I assume it's an ICS thing...not a CM thing.

2 - The People app is painfully slow. It's better on Alpha 12, but even clicking a contact shortcut on the homescreen can take up to 30 seconds before it shows their info. Once one or two load, it seems to work fine, but an hour later, it's back to crawling. Same thing seems to happen in the app itself.

Anyone else having the problem with #2?
[Nexus S General] croques:
:D

No, a wet fish would be good - so long as I can keep it afterwards. Haven't had cod for ages!
