[Nexus S Android Development] -Nacho:
Thanks for this Rom!

One problem I found is that the screen brightness goes up and down once in a while when I use the phone for a longer period of time - something with the light sensor?

Would also be neat to have battery percentage in the status bar out of the box.

Other than that it's working great. Thank you!
[Nexus S Android Development] sspikey:
details on this?

I installed first time and got non stop FC's with some chinese characters on it. Wiped everything again reinstalled and flashed gapps and no problems! runs great!
[Nexus S Android Development] dictionary:
Probably just means the brut.al maps. Modified stock
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
FCs because of the updated gapps. kalimochoAZ mentioned it on his thread that it may cause FCs if we dont do a full wipe..

happy day after xmas to all :D

Yea the brut /ownhere maps hack http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007132

This ROM is pretty quick and stable. Had a few sod's using deep idle.. But otherwise on stock CPU settings its really smooth. I still can't get wifi to sleep or get the GPS toggle to switch off.
[Nexus S Android Development] Shawtux:
Great MOD!!

The issues ive found are:

-every so often the brightness would go up and down on its own.

-gps didnt work (at least foursquare said it wasnt enabled when it was)

-once a day it would reboot out of the blue

-ocasional FC (not very often)

due to the fact that the mail app has some issues with exchange calendars and the gps stuff, i went back to mv 11.19 that works like a charm
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
with all the problems people are reporting, it seems ICS Roms are still not ready for prime.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
i think it because they end up using the aosp music player and Google music can be downloaded from market on any country/region i think they decided to leave it out..

I could be wrong..

ICS just came out not even 3months ago, I actually think its at a really good state considering ICS was a big change over gingerbread..

Also I think there's not that many issues a.t.m

I've been using it for awhile and only ran into a handfull of issues and I've tried basicly every rom available for the Nexus S..
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:
Mark- I think it may be worth considering the stock a18 kernel.. It does seem very stable, I've had no reboots on it. Have had a few on GLaDOS..

Depends on what you mean by prime.. Most off us are using these roms as daily drivers/everyday work phones(at least I am)..

if your not a flashaholic I'd recommend waiting for a cm9 beta. But that said these roms are very stable for roms on a source released a few Weeks back(nexus s) most of the issues are teething problems and stuff you'd expect from 'development' or 'alpha' roms.

besides, the issues being pointed out here are to help the devs fix them to have them ready for 'prime'.
[Nexus S Android Development] Paparasee:
Exactly. If no one were to try it and give feedback, everyone will be on alphas forever. It's user tests and feedback that helps development move forward faster.

Mark, why is it that everytime I unlock the screen I get a flash of green? Noticed it in most CM based roms ... both 7 & 9. Does it have anything to do with the rom or with the voodoo?
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
I believe it's the gamma settings of voodoo.

If you go to the voodoo app, adjust the gamma hack to the 2.3.3 defaults and you'll not see the green things again. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] rrohanjs:
hey mark have u eva thot of working on an miui version ? it wud b really interesting with ur touch.

Wipe all and flashed ROM and gapps-v8. First boot cannot sign in to google. 3G data won't work on Wind Mobile.

Cancel sign-in and check mobile data, data roaming IS enabled. Very bad.

Now restored to stock ics.
[Nexus S Android Development] AndiTails:
Had some stability and Black Screen of Deaths.

Have now flashed GLaDOS v2.5 BFS and its very stable, no issues or random reboots.

I'd recommend others do the same and perhaps Mark you should look at BFS again instead of CFS, as you did with your GB ROM? Seems better for it.

Thanks for the sterling work and the Christmas update :)

Camera and Car Home working fine here....
[Nexus S Android Development] ArnoutVos:
In dark and low light circumstances, the brightness goes frequently up and down. This does not happen with Android stock.

[Nexus S Android Development] ancilary:
Hi

Just installed this rom and performance wise its awesome.

If it's possible can you give a patch to disable that input thing which appears on status bar when we type something and to remove Japanese and Chinese input?

And one more thing camera is just closing if I use camera effects..

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] lolokman:
Anyone experienced reboot during phone call?
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
Are you using live O.C? With deep idle active?

What kernal are you using?

There's been reports of this..
[Nexus S Android Development] lolokman:
Yes,using liveoc and deep idle active.

So disabling deep idle will solve the problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
I've seen afew people reporting that 110% live O.C can cause this with deep idle on..

Mine doesn't run into that but its been reported atleast on 10 accounts..

Try disabling deep idle or changing the live o.c %..

Hope it helps.

Hello Mark!

Your rom is great !

Can you add Facebook contact sync in the next update please?

Thank's for your job.
[Nexus S Android Development] frutelaken:
Great, just installed in on the i9023, everything seems to work. Unfortunately I can't test the Exchange issue.

I'm surprised by the Music app though, it says version 4.0.1-eng but it looks like the old Gingerbread one and it lacks the integration in the notifications dropdown and lockscreen.

Root Explorer's view is messed up with forced GPU rendering turned on.

It's very fast and snappy so far, good job :)

Not fixed as in ... not yet ported fully to the Nexus S or Google still having problems at their end or something else?

a real pity though cause it seemed work quite smooth otherwise.

subscribe to that...when you exit an app, gotta wait for the launcher to load...i'd say is the aggressive ram settings...other than that running great ;)

You can always download script manager and v6 turbocharger and set your own custom settings, but I'm sure you already know that :)
[Nexus S Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Can somebody tell me the process name of the default launcher?

I'm working on fixing the status checker so that it reports correctly if the launcher is die-hard, weak, etc...

If it's not hiding inside android.process.acore, then I can fix it good :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Abaddon:

Thanks...I knew it and did it already...I was just trying to point it out to the OP...:D

[Nexus S Android Development] Paparasee:
Mark,

In the Rom thread ICS build for Nexus S - v3Arrow by Kwiboo I asked if anyone has got Exchange working. Got the following reply:

I just tried it and it works without any problem.

Do you think its the apk file alone that has been corrected? Or does it involve other changes too?

On another note ... could you include the option to install apk files from a Data folder as was done with original MV Rom?

Thanks :)

[Nexus S Android Development] cis.snakeman:
Thanks, but what USB drivers should we use ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Soldier Blue:
It's been fine so far, but I don't use my phone much so I can't really say. Some things I noticed:

1. Volume rocker changes phone volume instead of media volume, if I'm playing music in PowerAMP through the widget on the home screen.

2. I got a call and the background noise from the cafeteria was really loud. iirc some Nexus Prime reviews mentioned that as well. I don't see how thats possible when the other Nexus S which called me was running stock GB. But I never had this problem before.

3. Phone crashed and became unresponsive when I plugged usb cable from computer to charge it. Only happened once. I didn't have to pull the battery though, while I was taking off the silicone case to do that it started booting on its own.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Hey what's up guys?

I'm uploading an update when I get home. I tested this build full day yesterday and it seems stable enough. Most of the issues that are present in alpha 9 will be here as well but I've applied some tweaks to have better performance. Thanks to brainmaster! :D

[Nexus S Android Development] josephlck:
Cool

Thanks for the ROM! It's been ages since I last flashed a ROM and it was a real thrill to do it again :)

I was just wondering if it were possible to...

1) just install Google Market, maps and navigation without all the rest?

2) have a switch to toggle 3G in the notification bar (to save battery)

3) display the remaining battery as a percentage

Thanks again!
[Nexus S Android Development] thanr:
Just switched over from AOSP+.

I loving the look and feel, although both Nova and Trebuchet do force-close from time to time.

I flashed the Trebuchet zip and it works perfect, I do have 2 versions installed now tho.

Ez MV, I have a minor issue and if you could look into it that would be great.

Every ICS rom I have flashed Including yours, I get this weird problem when pressing the power button to lock the phone.

What happens is I get the screen off animation as normal, but then I get a bright flash of whatever was displayed on screen before pressing the button, then I get the click sound after that (which should happen when I press the button unless I am nuts??!!)

Please have a look at this youtube vid someone on here posted which will show you the issue we are having, I believe this to be only relating to I9023 but I may be wrong.

Also since changing to [Kernel 3.1.6-ICUP] { NS & NS4G } For ICS OTA 12/31 ( Speedy-2 ) it happens alot less, so may be Kernal related.

Link to vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRub7rhwiZ0&feature=youtu.be

Beside this minor but annoying bug this this rom is tops as per!

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] owenjm:
Both behaviours confirmed on my i9023 also (although I don't have the screen-off sounds enabled so can't comment on that).

Can I suggest adopting Eugene's (unfortunately-named) ICUP kernel instead of GlaDOS as the default for this rom? All recent variants of GlaDOS has given me frequent random reboots; Eugene's kernel has been rock-solid stable without rebooting once, is fast and smooth and has excellent battery life without any noticeable drop in performance. I've been using it for a week now and it's pretty close to perfect.

[Nexus S Android Development] Fidel Cashflow:
Lately this rom has become super unstable for me. I get multiple SODs during the day mostly while listening to music, I had about 5 today. I haven't changed anything recently so it's a bit perplexing. Also is it just me or does the boot animation run for about two minutes and then take the phone another minute after booting to run smoothly?

Welcome back Mark!!! :) .... So missed flashing the MV series :D

Downloaded it at work yesterday, but did not get the time to mod it, as in opening it and filling my apps into the data folder.

About to do that, but before that ... two questions:

a) the first post says Gapps 8.1, but the download file is named gapps_ics_4.0.3_v8.zip, guess that's ok ... right?

b) Been using the Kangy rom for a week now and wanted to know if its ok to just copy all the apps in the \system\apps folder over this one so that I don't need to flash the Gapps OR, is that a problem given that this is CM based?

Thanks as always :)
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:
Thanks for the update Mark, seems smooth so far. although I prefer the stock trebuchet launcher.

Flashed 2.01.12 on top of a nandroid i made for the 2.12.25 with only cache and dalvik wipe. then flashed gapps and have had no issues since..

(wifi, exchange, email, market, calendar.. working)
[Nexus S Android Development] phanitej:
Made us wait for like ages Mark... Got so used to ur ROM that though i subscribed for the thread i keep checking it every now and then for the update :)
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
** sorry to keep you guys waiting.. something came up after after christmas day and had to sort it all out. now that its all good you guys will see more updates. :) have fun on this release :p

a) yeah, you should be fine. ;)

b) i havent tested it but you might have to delete some apps manually if you try to copy the apks over. since when you flash gapps it replaces some apks automatically. i mean you can do it but just double check for double apks. ;)

do you need a flashable zip? the latest alpha came with 2 launchers, stock and cm9 trebuchet. idk which one you prefer :D

btw, you can set it in nova settings to make it look exactly like the stock (i did) but with all the extra features. :p

my bad. :D ill keep it more updated now. ;)

Hi Mark,

I thought that the supercharger script is only usefull on GB but may be I am wrong. Have you noticed an improvement with the supercharger on this ROM please?
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
Welcome back

Your Nvm ROM for gingerbread was the best ROM for my nexus s. It was best in terms of Stability, Speed and Battery Life. All + in my book. I had tried almost all of the ROMs for GB, but none came close to nvm.

Now, i am trying to find the best ROM for ICS, so far, i havent found it. I hope that since you back and working on ICS. I hope to switch to Nvm for good.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Parts of the supercharger works best on gb. I have talked to zeppelinrox and he's figuring out some stuff that's different in ics. In the mean time the settings I have from supercharger will work fine. ;)

Try this out and let me know if it's good. :D

Hi MarkVis. I've prepared a set of comprehensive kernel benchmarks, and I'd love it if you could visit the thread (check my signature for the link.)

If you think what I've prepared is useful could you make a post on the thread please? The idea is for developers who integrate custom kernels have a better idea of how they stack up against each other (to quote mathkid95). Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:
Your last release had nova and trebuchet. If possible try keep it like that going forward, l. I like Nova but i dont think the dev fully supports the Nexus S and i've had issues with dissappearing widgets when i reboot.

Hi, would it be possible to add the Facebook Sync Hack to this ROM. Your was my daily driver and I, like many probably prefer it. Facebook Sync is just one of those little tiny things that would make this ROM even better.

Mark, Am on this since my last post here ... lil more than a day. Nice so far, battery seems to be ok too.

Did not install voodoo, but I guess I'll have to, to remove the green flash that creeps in occasionally.

Another thing I'm missing from the many roms out there ... the customizable power widgets in notification area.

Generally, pretty smooth, battery life seems ok.

The Kangs seems to be getting a lot of attraction too!
[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
OK, this seems to be running great so far on my i9023 with matrix kernel. I did have a reboot yesterday, but I think it was Nova launcher which caused it as I was customizing some desktop icons when I received an incoming call, screen went black and phone rebooted. I have received and made a few calls since then without issue.

Being able to customize the status bar Widgets would be great, its the only thing I miss from my last ics rom.

Thanks again MV!

[Nexus S Android Development] agovinoveritas:
Personally, from the multitude of different ROMs out there. MV's ROM, with his tweaks AND with Nova launcher seem to stand out. If you don't like it, you can always install a different one on top of it.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
I'm thinking about just having both of the launchers that way users could just pick one that they prefer. Nova seems really good for me. :)

Have had 3 reboots so far, two of them mid way through a call. The 1st immediately after 1st install. Thought the first one was a stray one and ignored, but then came 2 during calls.

Why don't you add "Facial detection screen unlock" in your rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] phanitej:
Last time i used the NOVA Launcher was when i started Flashing ICS ROM's and never liked it. Im too used to the SPB Shell 3D, 1) cos of its 3d launcher, 2) cos I Already PAID for it :(

The Nova Launcher with this ROM is awesome. Loving it. And now im actually confused on what to use.. Thanks for the confusion (for all the goodies)

This ROM is Fast and Stable. No FC's and Reboots since installed (6hrs)

Happy that you are back with your ROM.

One more thing, is there any way we can get the Gesture Unlock like the CM.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

I had the missing widgets with Nova & also SPB Shell 3d. Had the same problem on the Stock GB when i bought this. But not a big concern, i dont mind adding the widgets everytime i reboot (which i rarely do)

If it can be fixed, it will be great.
