BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
[Nexus S General] shockem:
Dude, you should thank this guy. He's awesome:)

Going to give A13 a try!
[Nexus S General] nandihno:
excellent finally the ability to remove the search bar.. :D

is this a CM thing or is this AOSP ICS?

and so would beta be started once nexus S gets ICS?

I want to know where i can see the progress
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Maarch,

It is discussed earlier in this thread, but I'm sure its buried by the sheer number of replies. The brief flashing of the greenish screen is caused by the tweaking of the gamma and color settings by the kernel.

Try this -

1. Download Voodoo Control

2. Open it and go down to the SUPER AMOLED HARDWARE CONTROL

-Color profiles select "Original <2.3.3"

-Screen RGB Multipliers select "Reset"

-Screen v1 gamma hack select "Reset to 2.3.3 defaults"

This should get rid of the flash of green before powering off the screen. You can still tweak the colors a bit, but not two screens are identical - some are more tolerant of color/gamma tweaking than others.

The Calendar sync can be fixed by restoring the Calendar app + data from Alpha 12 via Titanium Back Up.

-D

Bluetooth streaming

A13 is very fast. I noticed that Bluetooth streaming is not working in this build. Does anyone have any tips for getting it working until it is available in another build?

Keep up the good work!
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
It is working with Alpha 13 and the default kernel.

Open Bluetooth settings -> push the settings icon next to your headphones address -> check "Media Audio".

If it is still not working: Do you use any 3rd party kernel?
[Nexus S General] fury-fx:
I had the same thing after I installed the rom. I then installed the gapps and after reboot I only had one gallery app.

I am running stock A13. I think this is user error...I just tried it with my headphones and it is streaming nicely. I will try it in the car in a little while and see how it does. That is where I was having problems.

Thank you for the quick response.

just wondering, is it possible to assign the multi-tasking feature to the old menu button instead of having to hold the home button? the menu button is obsolete anyway, so might as well just use it to call up the multi-task panel.
[Nexus S General] GHOST99K:
alpha 13 is pretty good.netflix video plays perfect,preferences gives u options to remove the search bar,auto rotation and resize widgets.still missing the ICS wallpapers and can't connect to google+. is there anyway to change the stock SMS app to a themed ICS black and blue instead of all bright white theme? perhaps WIP still.
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
It was left out of the Alpha 13 package, but KalimochoAz posted an updated Kernel that put it back in:

Yes this only works for SAMOLED devices, which maarch has :D
[Nexus S General] nandihno:
OK so have a13 and many ppl say you can't connect to g+

Well you can connect

When it says can't connect just look at your status bar you will get a triangle meaning you have to give g+ permissions to your google account

So just give it permissions and connect again and it works

If coming from a12 you may need to clear its cache
[Nexus S General] bioan:
Is there any way to invert the buttons ? They are different than on Gingerbread. The Ok button and Install button is on the other side.

The menu button is only obsolete on devices which have the navigation bar activated. ICS behaves in a different way when it is disabled.

[Nexus S General] chabsie:
That fixed it for me, thank you!! *Temporary sigh of relief*

Now if I could fix this superuser problem... Some apps are unable to gain root access, even when I select "Allow" on the superuser popup. Specifically, Droidwall and Titanium backup have had this problem so far. Does anyone know a solution? :confused:

[Nexus S General] Waza_Be:
Totally agree, I forgot command lines.. :-p

But I really don't get why my Xoom mounts perfectly and this Nexus S cannot do it!
[Nexus S General] maarch:
Alright, gonna try later on after work DumbUglyDragon fix for the screen problem when closing ( with new kernel and voodoo app )

Only other problems I had so far ( except that, everything is running smoothly )

is the capacitive button under the screen.

Whenever I have the screen close, if I touch one of them, they will all lit up.

The screen is still close while this happen, they shouldnt do anything normaly.

And once I did that, the only way to close them again is to reopen the screen and then reclose it again. Once again I tried to look through the thread, but with 200+ pages I might have missed it.

If anyone can help me or have the same problem, once again thank you.

*** EDIT : Saw somewhere BLN pro might work, but it seem it dont support alpha 13... so back to square one on that ***

[Nexus S General] marinierb:
Silly question perhaps, but is KalimochoAz the same person as Kali who used to do such wonderful work on CM7 for the Desire?
[Nexus S General] nandihno:
so far its been great alpha 13...lots better than 12...

the phone hasnt rebooted which is good! :D

the only niggly bug that i can find is hotspot not working.

it turns on...but my Galaxy tab 10.1 cant connect to it?!

and yes i changed the password...
[Nexus S General] dls5375:
So here's my theory. Besides the addition of t9, alpha 12 and 13 seem to be the same. The only differences seem to be in the kernel, which imo is much much better. Especially after the voodoo patch. So it makes perfect scense that Kali would release it since its his kernel. My other theory is that koush is superstitious and wanted nothing to do with alpha "13". Came from 11 to 13 wiped cache and dalvik and for me everythings working great! Thanks koush/kali

[Nexus S General] shaunmclane:
LOVING this ROM. Battery seems like a massive improvement (now if I could just stop playing with my phone).

I have two things - one bug, and one request

1) Bug - I've seen this mentioned, but not since 11. When I rotate my screen, I see artifacts the screen leaves from the roation. It looks very cool, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be there.

2) Request - I saw that Madoco was able to get FB contacts sync (including pics) on his GN Rom. Is this something we should expect to see now that it's been done?
[Nexus S General] loudaccord:
I just realized that it's doing this on mine. If the screen is off and you touch one of the buttons at the bottom, they light up. Strange.

[Nexus S General] maarch:
thanks for that, it actually worked for both problem

so if anyone have the capacitive problem and the screen flashing when closing it, try this kernel, work perfectly !

put it with the apha 13 that is smoooth and we got a perfect combination.

just missing my calender, I know how to fix it... but would just be to much work for something I dont use ( except if someone have an easy way to do it since I did not back up calender when I made the switch from alpha 12 to 13 )

13 is even worse than 12! It seems like stability peaked at 11 and is going downhill from there.

This new alpha seemed to add nothing for me and just cause the Android Market to crash. Went back to Alpha 11, yet again. So far that one is great with app stability and battery usage.

For me, if alpha 13 changed anything was for better. I only have force close with the torch app but I had it before as well.

Does anyone else feel that Alpha 11 was best? Just tried 13 and went back to 11...
[Nexus S General] TheColdOne:
I installed it clean twice, and the same issues happen. I notice the same instabilities as 12 (with certain games crashing or severe lagging) plus the market closing as soon as a try to open it, with no error message or anything.

I think I will wait for Alpha 14 or 15 (or beta if they enter those stages by then). I don't notice any issues with Alpha 11, so I see no reason to attempt to fix issues with 12 or 13.

Power down the phone by pulling the battery. Then, press power + volume up and select recovery on the screen that comes up.

I have a similar feeling. A13 did feel a lil faster, but with the bugs I faced, I went back to A11. Lil slower but much more stable!

[Nexus S General] axllent:
Camera image sizes?

Either I haven't found the right thread, or nobody else has noticed, but images taken by the camera are now all 6.6MB whereas they all used to be 1-2MB's (same resolution 2560x1920). It's not related to the Alpha 13 specifically, but may be related to the ROM / ICS.

Anyone know why, and how to "fix it"? I'm simply assuming there is no JPEG compression enabled or something, but other than turning down the resolution, I can't find a solution.
[Nexus S General] shaunmclane:
Maybe give it another try? I flashed the new kernel, and the capacitative button problem went away. They still light up when I have a notification (which I like), but they don't light up when the screen is off and I touch them as they did with the old kernel. If it helps, I did a fresh install (wiped everything) of 13 yesterday, and flashed the kernel today. Best of luck.

[Nexus S General] maniac2403:
I think he is talking about general JPEG compression in ICS vs GB.

In GB, even 5MP pictures are less than 2MB. Even <3MP pictures in ICS come to around 4MB. I am not sure if it is a good thing or bad as of yet.
[Nexus S General] 3Shirts:
I guess we need someone to do a proper pseudo-scientific test. Stand in a park or something, snap a pic with GB, quickly flash ICS then take the exact same pic again and compare the two results.

I know I sure as hell can't be bothered to do that though :D

My experience with 13 has been excellent. Faster and more stable than 12 especially Bluetooth and the only bugs I've seen are the capactive buttons coming on when the screen is off and Torch doesn't work. It doesn't actually enable the flash when you turn it on and force closes when you try to turn it off. Minor issues for an Alpha

[Nexus S General] nickmv:
Wow, I'd been enjoying the stock ICS launcher, but ADW EX has made some serious progress since I used it in 2.3.7.

The full HW accel does wonders. I think I'm gonna start using it again.

And to whoever asked about the non-EX version supporting HW accel - I dont think so, but you might as well get the EX version. It's worth every penny. And it WAS 10 cents up til the other day.

UPDATE: well I said I like it, and I do, but I'm missing the app drawer from the stock launcher. Adding widgets is just like the 2.x system. You just see a list, and no previews, etc.
