[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grossermanitu:
Im so happy that on the most new devices these -in my eyes useless- search button is removed. Ive never understood what the benefit of this button and now search bar is? What Im supposed to search on my phone with this bar. Contacts? - I go to my contact menu and directly call my contact. Web? - I go into the browser and start searching. So why is this search bar so important to put it on the top of every 5 homescreens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
You can't use the space it took up though for Widgets etc so I may enable it again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Access to system wide voice actions.

The only way you can access these is by pressing the mic icon on the search bar. You cannot access system-wide voice actions via any other application's search button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grossermanitu:
Ok. So something like siri for android?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Voice Actions for Android

notice, Android has had this feature for well over a year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grossermanitu:
Ok I still sceptical about siri and Google voice search. But now for me the search bar in ICS makes sense.

But more important: why does nobody knows that this feature of Google exists, since ages?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
because Google suck at marketing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
I thought it was fairly common knowledge. I use it mostly for getting navigation or driving directions, but just searching by voice is handy sometimes as well. Siri's Wolfram Alpha integration is pretty damn cool, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Unless I'm wrong, this is how the Google search widget has always been (besides the fact that they redesigned both the widget and the app it launches) - that is, you click the widget and it opens the search app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
yes that is correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
the search bar would be the very first thing i'll remove from the screen

the easy work around as mentioned about is either to add a widget on screen for google search or just run google search once, then you can keep recalling it from the "quick task switch" key
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I'll just quote myself again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommy96814:
clean wallpaper screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JanetPanic:
That is not unsurmountable though. simply compress the icon space a bit when the trash icon (or other drag context option) is available. ADW does that.

Overall I like the new features of the ICS launcher enough not to replace it, but I do wish I had more options involving the search bar.

Edit: alternatively replace the notification bar with the context option when dragging. You can't interact with the notification bar while dragging anyway, might as well use the space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C64c:
Thanks for that but unfortunately that doesnt give the desired result.

Just leaves a blank space that cant be utilized. Damn!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
So, install ADW?

Haven't you been following the thread? I made that point, like, twice! :rolleyes: That is why I say that it is completely useless to remove the search bar, because that area is required for other functions (removing widgets/shortcuts, app info, uninstall). All that you end up with is a blank space at the top of every home screen that you can't do anything with, because it isn't meant to be user changeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C64c:
I found this thread through a google search. Through personal choice I don't want to change the launcher. One wants to experience the stock one until I get bored of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcusVanSciver:
I stopped, then disabled Google search, how do I get it back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C64c:
Go to the same place you disabled it and Re-Enable it. It'll be located at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcusVanSciver:
Ta. My list is sorted alphabetically so wasn't expecting it at the bottom.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] athani:
You can also search music and words from installed dictionaries from the search bar. So it does have some utility but I agree that the bar should be optional.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] athani:
Edit : Mistaken double post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frenccw:
Am i the only one who loved the search button? It can't be that hard to allow an option to enable/disable it since they are soft buttons now. I understand that a lot of apps don't utilize it but most of the important ones do!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
And not even the crickets were chirping...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] C64c:
I'm a massive fan of the dedicated search button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liverstealerJobs:
This cricket is chirping. So instead of a single search button out of the way of the screen we have an obtrusive search bar across all our home screens? And you can't reclaim that space for use?

I use the long press search button constantly for voice actions like search, starting phone calls, starting texts, etc. To me, that is major design fail. ADW launcher will bring back my screen space but not the search button.

Maybe someone can convince me otherwise?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
Not that hard at all. paulobrian has posted in the dev forum with a UI mod that allows you to enable it. It's also present in the GN MCR, also found in the dev forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cgomega:
Turning "google search" off fixed my biggest complaint (no control over the app/widget) , although theres still the ugly grey bar at the top of the screen.

Also it removed the search from the home button :good:, which was another thing I didnt like, always would bring that up when scrolling webpages.

Now if google search was made like other apps/widgets where I could place it/move it and control it, I would re enable it again.

thanks for the answer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
Install a home replacement launcher. Nova, apex, adw can remove it and keep the stock look

With ICS what is everyone using to figure out what apps aren't letting the phone sleep properly?

Spare Parts isn't working.

I've tried uninstalling about everything and I can't get this phone to sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcgon1979:
This is exactly the post I wanted to make today, glad I searched this one out.

I have few apps installed, and battery is going well for me. I'm a moderate user. I get about 20hours out of a charge.

I notice that even in airplane mode, my phone wakes up 3 or 4 or 5 times during the night for 5 or 10 minutes at a time it seems. What could this be? It's not data as I'm off wifi and in airplane mode. Any ideas?

Thanks all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webvictim:
I've also been experiencing fairly high CPU awake times and was curious as to how I could track it down. Haven't found anything much yet in the way of apps, but I've turned off a lot of unnecessary Google syncing and an hourly sync of my Exchange account and it seems things are better now. I'm still getting awake times 1h30 greater than screen on time though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stigy:
I am seeing high "Keep Awake" times on Android OS Spare Parts force closes when I try to check Partial Wake usage so not 100% sure what this could be.

Wondering if this is the cause of some lower-end battery life we're seeing. My only thought would be LightFlow that is causing this (maybe to wake up for notifications). I thought I read it somewhere, but not sure if it was debunk'd or not.

So recently i have gotten seriously interested in the behind the scenes work that our great devs do here. I want to become a dev. I searched Google for how to compile cm7 for my phone and i got to the wiki. But why? They have a cm7 build for my phone already. What's the point of compiling vs flashing atinm's? What can i do to make it better? Or more personal. I couldn't find any threads on xda about this. Also any guides you would recommend for a wanna be dev ?

Thanks guys

The point is to sync the source and snoop around and see how things work.

Syncing/building is the first step.

For something like this, unless you want to hack CM or AOSP, you should just use the official CM builds that are published.

Please tell us which one you are using now and How is it?

I'm using Koush A10, have to say I love it. I did see any bug so far(2 days)

I was using Kwiboo 1.5, i was really good too.(However USB and camcorder was work.)

Compare to to Kwiboo's rom koush's one seems like a little laggy.

So tell me which one you using?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoopy1e11:
Kwiboo rom is the fastest but aosp rom has the most features and the only one to have home screen landscape mode but koush rom is the first I tried with the most working features idk if one is better than the other
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnythan:
Both are nice. I had the fewest problems with Koush.

The speed is just not there though. After a full bug-free day with Koush I went back to 2.3.7 because it's just so much faster. I'm not encouraged about ICS on this device.

I was on oICS, liked it better than the 2 that the OP mentioned, but now I'm on Brainmasters build for NS4G, & for my phone, it's the best. Out of the box it's faster & smoother than the other builds, even with custom kernels & overclocking. :eek:

Aosp's oICS plus Matrix kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirtivardhan:
I have updated to Kwiboo's ROM tweeked by Brainmaster. NS is overall performance is little sluggish.. Battery perf isn't gr8 either. My phone generally is over-worked (4hrs of call+emails+sms) but under 8hr battery life with a sluggish response isn't very exciting. I was getting similar battery life stock ROM. I have used juicedefender... so pls do not just JD or similar apps. I read a few guys hitting over 18hr mark with their NS batteries... Any suggestions which of the ICS ROM and Kernel combination would give alright perf and a better battery life. I do not expect much in terms on battery life may 12-15hrs, I would be very happy with it... my iphone on a similar usage lasts 15+hrs, but I prefer android.

btw.. I will be installing ICS AOSP on phone today and hope to get a little better perf and battery... I am dropping kwiboo v3 as it has only one vote v/s 3 for AOSP..

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroEchelon:
I've flashed so many ROMs in the past few days including: Koush/CM9 Alpha 11, Koush Kangs, Kiwiboo mixed with Trinity, Franco and GlaDOS kernels.

Let me get this out of the way: I am not looking for best performance in terms of speed; stability (no SODs) then battery performance is what I aim for.

Out of all the ROMs, I still prefer Kiwiboo's over any other as although the other ones say they're complete and working but there are always issues. For example, any time I try using a CM9 ROM, that keyboard notification pops up (don't know why still, sometimes Market downloads don't work, GApps out of date, etc.) Kiwiboo's ROM work's out-of-the-box for a true ICS experience.

Not much to say about kernels other than Franco's and Trinity Kernel are good. (Haven't tested which one is better though for battery life ...) Special thanks to Ezeekel (which most of the tweaks that Trinity and Franco employ are made by him) ... The reason I don't use GlaDOS is because, I know it has a logging system which the Franco kernel doesn't use I believe thus better performace (less CPU usage.)

... only annoyance is that green flash I get when locking the screen, which happens on every single ROM. (I know it's caused by LWP that use GPU acceleration but I love my LWP.)

TL;DR: Kiwiboo v3 + Trinity SEUV best ICS combo so far.

I'm using CM 7.2 and I finally decide to partition my sd card.

I wanna ask how big I should create those partitions. I have 16gb sd card class 2

fat 32 size?

ext3/4 size?

swap size?

and which order I should create?

thx in advice
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
You can create them from cwm simply without problems

sdext 1GB

swap 64MB
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mebitek:
Order is important?

for example fat32 partition 0, ext3 partition 1 and swap partition 2?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
No, go in cwm, advanced, partitions sdcard.

cwm will make all. try to go in cwm so can you see the options

if you want use a different software like minitool partition, you can creat 3 partitions all primary partitions:

1) sdcard in fat32

2) sdext in ext3 or ext4

3) swap

Also, Since you have 16 GB sdcard memory, best sizes should be 1-2 GB sd-ext, remaining FAT32, no swap.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dodgeboy:
Last week, after rebooting my phone, I got a message in the notification tray that said "Damaged SD Card." My SD card was completely non-existent, as far as the phone was concerned. I plugged the phone into my computer and mounted USB storage. The drive showed up, but myy computer told me that the drive needed to be formatted (no data existed). I feared that I had lost all of my data. I decided to go for a hail mary and booted into CWM recovery, mounted the sdcard as USB, and run a "chkdsk /r" on the drive from within windows. It took over 2 hours to complete (32GB card), but all of my data came back! It's been about 5 days, and I haven't noticed any corruption of any kind.

I don't know what caused it initially, but I am sure glad I was able to recover it. I thought I'd post this here in case anyone else ran into the same issue. I know some of this info is posted elsewhere, but most threads involved a data recovery software.
