[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
It was a problem with the Nexus S as well. Drove me nuts.

Seems AOSP roms are very aggressive with dimming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwazi:
known issue. Manufacturers tend to be really aggressive with this so you can get better battery life (yea I know.. pointless right?)

Just wait for custom ROMs. Or go download paulobrien's tweak for the automatic brightness settings. (of course, as others have said, you can just turn it off)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashad1:
auto brightness has always sucked on Android, iOS has a customizable auto brightness that adjust to the level you put it on initially, where as on Android there's no option to adjust the default brightness when auto brightness is enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
Not just iOS, even my 3 year old Nokia allows you to adjust the level of auto brightness. Wish this is native to Android. I found my Nexus One too dim on auto brightness too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appelflap:
Edit (deleted): redundant post about paulobriens fix
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
The auto-brightness doesn't just seem too low to me but also buggy. Most of the time it's really dim, but occasionally it will suddenly shoot up to a decent level :confused:

Has anyone tried this app? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nnevod.loggraph&feature=search_result
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
I find it too bright.. the display is perfectly usable on minimum brightness in a normally lit room bit it keeps winding the brightness up, draining the battery. It seems stuck on about 50%.

My Nexus S did the same thing.. Drove me nuts. I had to switch it off and force it to minimum half the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Hopefully the ability to tweak the levels in detail will be ported over from CM7 later. For now, you can use PaulOBrien's kernel where he adjusted it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
Same here, with my Nexus S, too bright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
This is one of the first things I do when flashing a rom on my incredible. They usually have to ramp down the brightness very quickly, probably for battery life. Cm has the tool hopefully it will be loaded soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
It would be nice if google added an option to set the max and min brightness used during auto. You could just raise floor a little.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Problem I've realized is on SAMOLED devices the screen is an absolute battery killer so there's no wonder they are aggressively keeping it dim. I bet if you ran this phone at 100% brightness just sitting idle it'd last like 10 mins :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eiresh:
Help!

Over the course of the past 2 days, I have struggled to get a new rom (Bionix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119986) on my SGS4g. I have soft bricked my phone, but was able to bring my phone back to life through Odin and Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2 [6/28]-corradokng

I can not get into recovery, but can get into download mode. I would really like to use a different rom. But I need help. I have read through many of the forum pages, but I guess I am too noob to follow the directions. :mad:

Is it possible to find a whole collection to just Odin my phone to a differnet rom?

I have looked on youtube for videos, which helped me with my vibrant (with overstock), but now I am just stuck. Yes, I have read the the noob guide, but not sure I understand it all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Try the GB Starter Pack. There's a link in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Also, don't use KF2. That's one of the buggiest ROMs ever. You're better off using Odin to flash RaverX3X's KC1 or any of the GB leaks (KG4 and higher).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
I used to think the rainbow screen was "cool". lols
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eiresh:
I am going to try FBis sugestion first. I will keep trying each suggestin to enforce that I learn through experience.

Thank you all for your response, I will be sure to let you know my results!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eiresh:
WooHoo! success! I followed FBis directions to the tee and it worked.

Thank you so much!

Now my question is, since I rom'ed this for the first time, will I have to go through the same complicated proccess???
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Only if you wanna go in reverse

Mark, Am downloading this now :)

Any idea if Email via Exchange can be setup??? I've tried with different ICS roms and everytime after putting all the required info, the app tries to connect and then exits with FC.
[Nexus S Android Development] foreman31:
This works well, very fast.

I just flashed straight over the top of Brainmasters rom
[Nexus S Android Development] climhz:
i think u shouldn't use aggressive ram settings because the amount of free ram in koush's alpha 11 is smaller than every default CM7 version, so aggressive may kill processes more often and will affect battery life

anyway, flashing now :D
[Nexus S Android Development] lcchan1:
Downloading, will check this ICS (# 7) out tonight.

Is it a must to "format" the /system ?
[Nexus S Android Development] nazimster:

[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Wiping is recommended to achieve optimal performance.

Screenshots will be available soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:
I dont have a problem with wiping data/cache etc.

But my question was with formatting the system, would it be necessary ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Paparasee:
Mark, for some reason I have been unable to add my exchange account to the ICS Roms. I enter my email, password ... then choose "Exchange" ... it starts checking, and then looks at incoming server settings and ... I get a message "Unfortunately, Email has stopped." "OK".

Was advised on another topic to check "Accept all SSL certificates". Did that too but with no luck.

This is the only thing that stops me from moving on to ICS :(
[Nexus S Android Development] BehradGH:

are the volume buttons able to change or skip tracks ?

is the volume issue fixed ?

is FB sync working ?

thank you
[Nexus S Android Development] frutelaken:
I know the Maps.apk v6 is floating around somewhere on the forum. I thought I saw it in the Kang topic in General Section... try to find it and install it that way, or, pulll it from this build and install it that way?

[Nexus S Android Development] Blulmn:
Sorry dude, I didn't have any problems with doing it my side so I assumed it would work for you.

I've still got my Maps and my Navigation after flashing gapps although I use NDrive instead of the stock navigation tools.
[Nexus S Android Development] ahqball:
No need to be sorry, you were only trying to help :)

This is the error I'm getting now when trying to install,
[Nexus S Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I anybody using the latest kick ass kernelizer here?

I need to know if the sysctl tweaks get applied in ICS.

Just run the KAK script, re-run it after it closes, and check with the built in verifier .
[Nexus S Android Development] NicholasQ:
Edit : it may be just an issue with this 10¢ app deal on the market.

I can't seem to purchase apps in the android market place. I'm trying to get the 10¢ app deal that google is having today! Dammit.
[Nexus S Android Development] nicholasbgr:
It's a known issue. I got the same problem with kwiboo's ROM. Until someone manage to fix it you can just buy it using the web version of the Android Market and it will normally download to your phone.

whats up guys? been a while since an update.. compiling the KANG was a little bit of a challenge. :D

anyways,

i will update as soon as everything is sorted out. ;)

ive been using this rom for about a week now and im loving pretty much everything about this rom and ics, but im having a few issues:

1. video playback (are there any fixes for this?)

2. every now and again when i press home from an app, everything on the homescreen (apps and widgets) are gone and it takes a few seconds to repopulate - is there anything i can do to help prevent this?
[Nexus S Android Development] rrohanjs:
suddenly i'm getting randomn reboots .. like 1-2 in a day .. just out of the blue .. dint happen for like 10 days ..
[Nexus S Android Development] kmhil:
That happened 2 me, but just 1 day, now its ok, didnt do anything
[Nexus S Android Development] Fidel Cashflow:
I get random reboots all the time. The repopulating issue on the home screen happens to me all the time. I on occasion lose service and have to restart my phone in order to get service again. But i'll survive.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
reboots are related to the CM9 alpha. its also seen in the latest KANG. not sure yet whats causing that. maybe a logcat will show. :D

when will have a new update for bundle on CM9 alpha 12 & franco.Kernel Dec9? as since the MV 2.11.30 stay for sometimes already.

Hi MarkVis,

Ur Rom is trully good, been using this 4 over d week now

what i loved d most is the gsm signal is showed real up and down, haven't been experienced drop / missing 3G or 2G signal, that's how it suppose 2happened at d most part of my area. hehe unstabled signal.

and none of d other ics rom i'd tried behave like ur rom.

lately i do experience reboot, but i'd tried raised d stock kernel on my max freq by 25, and its not happened again. hopefully.

Right now want to try newest glados kernel, see what would be happen.

I do feel that u should wait n see how's d official ics rom or newest upgrade kangs or d other on ur source are will give more stable or usefull for ur next rom update..

why fixed it if not break.

take ur time,, because this rom u've got here is really best. I always go back to ur rom after tried onother.

but if u done update soon, believe me.. i shall jump right through it as soon as it came out. can't wait. :)

I hope u understand what i tried to say, sorry my bad english.

much appreciated 4 ur support, loved my nexus evenmore now.
[Nexus S Android Development] rrohanjs:
Yesterday was the first time i tried maps with this rom and it cudnt find my location, kept saying temporarily unavailable and tried today also cnt get a fix :(

[Nexus S Android Development] owenjm:
Using the 12.08 KANG, very impressed with the memory usage. I'm consistently getting at least ~150 Mb free RAM with nothing except the launcher running, compared to Koush's Alpha 11 build or 2.11.30, where it was ~110 Mb. Doesn't feel perhaps quite as snappy when scrolling as 2.11.30, but that could be because of the different kernel, etc. Otherwise all working well (with the exception of known issues like market purchases) and quadrant scores are identical to 2.11.30 (~1590 for both ROMs).

Great work and I'm looking forward to seeing some more CM KANGs in the future :)
[Nexus S Android Development] moinsheriff:
I'm on 2.11.39.. Do I need to wipe data too before installing 2.11.30. And do I flash the kang on top of. 30 or I can do it directly from. 29?
[Nexus S Android Development] aLNG:
i think u should do full wipe
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
You can flash them over each other though the kang has no tweaks that I normally add so the responsiveness would be a little different than the kang but the kang has a little more feature to offer.

How was the last paper?

your ROM was really good. I used it for the longest time. I've switched to alpha 13 with Franco 12.12 test and its pretty stable but if you Kang it I'll be the first to try it out. Your ROM still the best overall package.

I Guess that d stock cm9 kang kernel doesn't include ezekeel mod right?
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Probably not. Haven't tested if kalimochoaz has included the mods.
[Nexus S Android Development] copi:
Is it ok to test other kernel on your rom?

I think if your rom is based on kang, so either franco 12/12 test kernel or matrix v12 thats already include ezekeel mod should work.

I'll give some report soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Try other kernels see if it works for you. I tested out Glados earlier and it seemed to break wifi. Not sure if it was just me.
[Nexus S Android Development] Paparasee:
Hey Mark,

Just saw this ROM :) So, how was the exams?

A quick request ... can you include the Data folder as with 1.xx.xx so that I can include the apps to be installed upon first boot?

Thanks,
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Exams were alright. Major classes I think I did great but Idk in my electives. Haha.

I'll try to include it in the next update. Haven't looked in to it, hopefully its just the same implementation like in gb. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] copi:
at last succeded flashing franco test 12/12 kernel, turn out it must be installed before gapps. Otherwise stuck at google logo.

But Nfc is gone.. i tried 28/11 gapps also 14/12 gapps. do you know how to pop that nfc back ? Is it kernel related?

I really dont use that nfc at all, but i'am sure that the nfc missing is d one that makes wallet.apk stop working FC.

Right now i'am just uninstalled the wallet.apk

Its been prox 1 hour trying ur rom, cant seem to judge early, but certainly i'll stick to this rom 4 a while now.

oh and calendar doesnt sync.. maybe u can show me how to resolve it?

Much appreciated
[Nexus S Android Development] baolongn:
Must I wipe data before flashing 12.24 over 11.30?
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:
Its there a reason you took out the aggressive ram tweaks? Isn't that what made your earlier ROM so fast?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
good work thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] frutelaken:
I presume he did that because it has unexpected behavior with the ICS launcher. At least from what I and others reported, the ICS launcher would re-open very slowly and the app drawer would take seconds to repopulate itself.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, Mark :)

Greetz

PS: Thanks for the update, testing it now :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Hmm. Have you flashed the rom from a full wipe? I just used google wallet for my french fries at mcdonalds 10 minutes ago and it worked. No fcs.

No not really but if it gives you problems youre gonna have to.

Youre right ;)

Seems like the aggressive settings made the launcher unstable so i had to take that off for now.

Even without the ram settings the rom should be fast. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] NicholasQ:
Probably asked before but is anybody having issues with google + asking for permission to picasa albums and claiming your password is incorrect? I just hit deny and it constantly pops up. Never goes away.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
That happened to me just now and I just allowed it. Then change the settings in accounts & sync. Disable photos sync. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:
I'll give the ROM a try today and report back.

Have you had a look at the nova launcher? I installed it as a system app and haven't had any launcher redraws the whole experience has smoothened up too. it has resizeable widgets, scrollable docks, and widgets in drawer. I'd love to see it baked in your ROM
[Nexus S Android Development] NicholasQ:
I'd rather just deny it if possible. But the one thing that's bothering me is that is claims my password is wrong and it wants me to reenter that. I already entered my password when first setting up gmail account to the phone so I don't see why it says it's wrong all of a sudden and wants me to reenter it
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
@techno: haven't seen / heard nova launcher. Can you postcards link so I can take a look? :D

@nicholas: have you enabled 2 way authentication recently? If yes you have to give your phone access to google with the authenticator app.
[Nexus S Android Development] NicholasQ:
Um, no I don't believe I have. I'm going to wipe and flash your new update anyway. We'll see if it fixes the problem. thanks. :D

Nice find guys. I'm using it right now and strongly considering it on the next release! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:
Glad we could help, cant wait for the next release..

Trying out your latest ROM, too early to comment, had a problem with the calendar sync, had to re-flash the rom and gapps, its fixed now - probably a bad flash.

@Mark - What kernel combo do you recommend with 2.12.14? currently running stock.. Oh and you may want to edit the thread title from 14 Nov to 14 Dec. ;)

initial thoughts - not much noticeable change from Kalim's a13 performance wise,
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Hmm. I personally use the stock kernel so I can test the stability and all that of the rom.

Yesterday I flashed Glados and wifi broke. Another change has been made to the wifi on the latest kang which needs the kernels to be patched again. Haven't tested out franco and matrix but mathkid said he got wifi working yesterday so it should be good. ;)

Test em out and let us know how it went. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:
Testing with Franco's 12.12 test and this thing flies..

Also added the nova launcher as a system app and its quite smooth so far.

*wifi working
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Good to know technogravy!

I'll probably use franco.kernel again on the next release like the previous one. :D
