Hi Guys,

quick noob question.

I got my NS (Tmobile) already rooted with CWM and CM7

Am I going to lose any of the rooting when I flash this image?

I just want stock ICS with root and gapps.

It sounds like this image has root but I can't really decipher from the OP.

thanks

Great battery life and decent performance with the bundled kernel. - 1 day, 7h and 26% left.

No reboots, no problems except some browser crashes.

why the build number is ITL41D , why not the latest build?

Hi Iceandfire, thank you for a very stable, fast and nice rom.

Yesterday I forgot my phone at work and it was just laying there for 23.5 hours, and it went from 49% to 42% battery charge. Very nice! This is with GlaDOS 2.4 kernel maxFreq 1200, minFreq 200, lazy governor and deepidle on.

If you're up for the challenge it would be nice if the notification widget could be colored ICS blue. :-)

Keep up the good work, I really appreciate it.
[Nexus S Android Development] yaronyud:
this work nice...

is there any way like cyng 7 to change the status bar???

add or move slot the shortcuts like airplane mode and autorotation and more..

[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
No , not yet, cyanogen mod settings are still under development..

There still trying to bring all these CM7 tweaks over to CM9..:)

What version? I'm using Glados without any issues, I've read afew people having issues with the latest 2.4 but like i said, i haven't ran into any..

Edit- he just released 2.5:p
[Nexus S Android Development] rrohanjs:
hows the battery life and stability of this rom compared to other ics roms ?
[Nexus S Android Development] swaipa:
It's good, read back. The info is already there, no need for asking.
[Nexus S Android Development] MrNago:
Been using this ROM for a few days now.

Very stable, speedy, and with many small additions that make up for an awesome package.

Quick toggles on status bar, capacitive buttons stay on when there's a notification (forgot the name of this tweak), and many more.

Voodoo Pro is working, dunno about the free version.

I recommend this Rom, it deserves to be popular, so try it out and spread the word!
[Nexus S Android Development] R-TEAM:
Hi,

have last days switched from NSCollab 1.0.60/Matrix Kernel to this ROM (UltimateICS V2)

and GlaDOS Kernel 2.4 (now 2.5) .....

Summary :

It is right an VERY stable ROM (+kernel combo :) ) - no reboots or other stability problems.

Have at the beginning reboots with LiveOC 115 - now with 112 it runs stable for days.

Have switched with an full wipe (factoryresets/cache/dalvik/battery-stats)

Runs very smooth and nice and with nearly the same battery usage as before NSCollab 1.0.60/Matrix ....

Have ATM not JET applied the UV settings from my old rom ... wait it is running stable and then doing this ...

Negative :

After flashing the ROM - GApps ZIPs with CWM-Recovery 5.0.2.5 i haved the japanese keyboard setted as default ...???

And an unknow system app with only japanese letters is running ????

(not very secure friendly ..............................)

The most things running flawles - the calender widget is displaying "--loading.." ... strange ....the non google eMail app looks not running flawles ...

Haved no problem to set it to get my mail account - but automatic downloading seems not to work .. have setted to every 15 minutes - have not one time doing this .. manual connecting is most times no problem ....

Thats all things i have found ATM - all summary an nice job done .. good stable ROM with minor flaws on few points ....

Regards

I love this rom, but is there a way to get rid of the wireless, bluetooth, gps, and sound on the pull down notification? I just dont like it at all.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] yaronyud:
yes there is... but you would need to recompile the ROM and just delete the code from the source...

by the way if any1 knows what languages they dev in c,c++,java

i just might be able to help...

Anyone else having problems with the Market? Mine randomly stops working even after a fresh rom install.
[Nexus S Android Development] tclayson:

This is an awesome Rom, very stable, runs just as well as 2.3.

A few bugs I thought I would bring to your attention:

1. Launcher and 'trebuchet' force close a lot, usually during times of heavy use. I assume its a problem with lack of memory, don't know if there's anything you can do about that?

2. Similarly I've had a few problems with System force closing too. Very rare, and all that happens is screen goes black for a second and then everything restarts. I'll try and get you the logcat output if I remember.

3. On locking the screen the lock animation occurs, then the screen flashes up again after the animation. In the flash it has inverted colours. This happens EVERYTIME I lock. On unlocking it sometimes flashes the original unlocked screen, but this time with a green filter before showing the unlock screen. This doesn't seem to be a problem, but just little touches eh?

4. Some of the interface is laggy. I find that after using it for a while the gallery and launcher seem to be a bit slow and unresponsive. nothing drastic, just might be worth looking into.

This is all I've come across so far. The Rom is brilliant. My nexus is relatively new, but still I'm getting 60% battery at the end of the day, with WiFi on, GPS on and in near constant use.

many thanks for your hard work on this i&f.
[Nexus S Android Development] ha9981:
A ROM normally doesn't come with bootloader and kernel right?

Should I upgrade my kernel to something more battery efficient? Which one would be the best and stable?

Also, do I need to update my bootloader? I upgraded from gingerbread to Koush ICS ROM before the official ICS release. So was that only a rom upgrade or bootloader and kernel as well.

I really want to move to the stable ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] reapur:
Right on.

I have the exact same experience.

I would like to add that the auto brightness seems to be broken. I'm out in bright sunlight and it will not go to FULL when set to auto, I have to manually switch it. This happens with both UICS and Koush's CM, so I assume it's ICS in general.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
For the kernel: Use matr1x v13.0 or eugene's kernel.

ROM: im currently on the Latest CM9 kang (29-12 build) and its really smooth and fast. also I got better battery life than on GB..
[Nexus S Android Development] tclayson:
Yeah actually, something I've noticed is that the screen will automatically change brightness even in the same lighting. This happens most in the dark (although it may be that I just notice it the most in the dark). It will go from being bright to being dimmer and back again (not instantly, like its flickering, but just at seemingly random times). I assume this is something to do with the auto brightness?

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

I was under the impression that ROMs came with kernels? I'm so confused with kernels and ROMs anyway (coming from a Milestone with a locked bootloader and no chance of changing the kernel I only had to install the ROMs).

So, given that I was on stock 2.3.6 before flashing Clockwork Mod Recovery and installing this ROM does that mean that I'm actually using the stock 2.3.6 kernel and not the ICS kernel? Surely this must be wrong because with this ROM my capacitive buttons light up when I receive notifications, which they didn't before (and research indicated that I would have to flash a custom kernel in order to get them to do this).

Do all ROMs work with all Kernels? Or will ICS ROMs only work with ICS kernels? Or something else?

Another question (almost finished!). If you install a ROM (eg: Ultimate ICS) and then flash a custom kernel, the next time you install a custom ROM (e.g. updating Ultimate ICS) will you have to reflash the custom kernel? Will you have to wipe data each time?

Thanks.

Just to hop in and report on the update. Most of you who follow me on twitter would be knowing by this time that my nexus s has gone in for repair. Somehow the motherboard was fried. Weird! They told me ill be getting it by tuesday or wednesday. So no ETA on the new update.

Thanks for the excellent ROM.

I don't know if it had been reported before, but the screen flashes for locking and unlocking. Seen the same issue with earlier builds of onecosmic's ics port for the galaxy s.

Also, auto brightness seems to be entirely nonfunctional. Seems to be specific to nexus s and ics as a whole.
[Nexus S Android Development] tclayson:
Mat1x 13.5 kernel doesn't seem to work with this rom for some reason. It worked for a while, but eventually got to the point where my phone was restarting itself every time I did something (opened an app, opened settings, opened launcher etc). Don't know if this is a compatibility issue or a ROM issue or a kernel issue.

Ah I see, brilliant thanks.

Hi,

have found (besides the known [auto brightness make weird things/market+UI-Framework and the launcher close or FC few times/no auto download from my e-Mails/the problem with the calendar i have "fixed" by install and wipe it a second time - now its run flawless ...] ) another problem - with the voodo kernel or the voodo control app.

Have the GlaDOS 2.7 running and the problems are by color settings ...

First the settings self :

If i set an to low value by gama-profile color green then the screen goes after an off/on switch "greenish" ... after an "make brighter" phase from the auto brightnes "brain" the color is going normal ... so maybe an relatet problem ...

The second is the color settings dont get saved - after an reboot the color settings back to default ... maybe an problem with the control app ? (need improving for 4.x ? )

Thats all ... ;)

Hi,

first impression from 3.0 .....

Very dissapointet ... as all launcher icons are gone .... and a couple of other settings too resetet ... i have more than 150 apps installed ... to get it all back on place it takes an good amount of time ...... :(

If i switch to another ROM i know this - but by upgrading the settings should stay :\

Hi,

sorry to come a bit rude in my last post :)

But have in vacation maked the jump from NSCollab (GB) to UltimateICs (ICS) and here i haved enough time to set all to my plesure .... but now it is "again" working time and i have only little time left - and "waste" this time by "again" configure the phone is not things i have expectet ...............(maybe an hint that you loose your launcher icon settings would help to know this before .... ;) )

But its running well ATM - the only thing i notice is the problems with the Voodo color settings - not saved and problems by to dark gama color settings, mostly on green color ...

Thanks for this new version and again sorry for my rude post ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] Beatle405:
Hey IceandFire, I've been using your ROM since you first released it and haven't had too many issues except what's been covered. I have been having one very frusterating issue though. I cannot download anything. I can from the market and Amazon, but when attempting to download from the forum, or any other internet source, it starts and fails constantly. At one point I didn't catch this and within 20 minutes my phone had drained 35% of my battery due to the constart start fail cycle. Any ideas how to fix this?

One example is when going from v2 to v3, I had to download it on my laptop and push it to my phone through usb. Just tried to download v4 and it looks like I'll have to do the same thing, push via usb.
[Nexus S Android Development] iceandfire:
