I don't feel like I'm worthy of donations just yet but if you really feel strongly about it, send me a PM. I'd rather you save your money, I'm just a newb who is stumbling around in a new landscape. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
It turns out that the Market issues with apps not showing up was caused by my gapps zip. I'm not sure how just yet but I have removed them from the front page.

I'll put a link up for a new gapps soon. In the meantime, there's probably 10 different packages you can use from other roms. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Bruce lee roy:
I'm still on the og version of this rom... Figure if its not broke than why fix it.... and my battery life is amazing. This while I'm reading other threads that claim all ics roms have horrid battery life. ??? ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kartoon33:
I agree. Awesome battery life. But for some reason it shows 95% when fully charged. I already wiped battery stats a couple of times. I also used the gapps from Cyanogenmod 9 and it works great. I'm able to see all the apps in the market and the YouTube widget is scrollable. Great ROM. The gapps link:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] .OmEgA:
The Nexus is designed to do that. its suppose to prolong the battery's actual life.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kartoon33:
Thanks. I did not know that. So it never goes to 100%?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
Nope, unless your custom kernel supports 100% charging. Even then, I believe the battery indicator only displays 100 - I don't think it actually charges to full capacity.

Wired Microphone issue ?

Anyone having trouble with the wired microphone? When I plug in, no audio from the wired mic. Mic works in previous stock firmware.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rokyrakoooon:
download NSTOOLS from market u can see if ur kernel allows u to take ur battery to 100%..mine does.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
GLaDOS 2.4 doesn't support 100% charging, nor did Matr1x 13. Not really sure which ics kernel actually possesses that feature.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Xaelius:
Lol...100% charging by default is just a play on numbers on ANY kernel when it comes to these phones. Its by design and serves a function.

I keep flashing back to this rom.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
Yeah, I really like this ROM too. I don't want all the changes that some of the other ROMs have... just happy with vanilla ICS. It's quick and stable. :)

Has anyone tried an alternate gapps package with this ROM that has a working Market?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] scramble@gmail.com:
gapps_ics_4.0.3_v8 work for me just fine. Still trying to get wallet to work :-(
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
Let's see, I tried:

CM9

Crossbones

GummyNexus

sndlal's ICS

MIUI 4

And probably others that I can't recall. I always wind up going back to sph33r's v2... it's that good.

Currently running v2 with GLaDOS 2.5 and ADW Ex. Smooth, quick, and totally problem-free. Thank you sph33r!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] scramble@gmail.com:
So I'm assuming the problem with MMS has to do with the apns-config.xml and something embedded in the mms apk.. ???? or does it stem deeper than that?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
It's just something that needs changed in mms.apk.. and I have it fixed. I've been testing a build all weekend that has working MMS. I haven't had a chance to do much else though with the holidays.

Hopefully this week, I'll have a new update with a bunch of fixes in it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] scramble@gmail.com:
Nice looking forward to it :-) Excited.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
Me too! I just realized today that I've been running v1 of your ROM all this time so I just updated to v2 with the gapps_ics_4.0.3_v8 that scramble recommended. Market is working fine now. Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
v3 is up now. Nothing earth shattering, just fixes for what was wrong in v2.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] CLZJCasper:
Red borders show up in this version. Am I the only one who got that?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
What kernel are you running? I haven't seen a red border in the past week of testing on the stock setup.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chrisliphart:
I'm loving that more and more ICS roms are getting released, but I'm getting a little burned out by the customizations that some devs are baking into the ICS roms too. Anyone got any updates on how V3 is running for them? I'm downloading, but I'm wondering if there's anything I should be watching for (ie. Navigation freeze-ups, weird lags, bad battery, etc).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
The red border is strict mode getting triggered somehow. I have not run a 3rd party kernel so I haven't seen this. I know how to get rid of it but it has to be done prior to compile. I will have that baked in soon.

I've been running it for a week to test it and it's pretty solid. I haven't tried navigation but gps seems pretty good. It's not laggy in general although I have experienced random episodes of lag here and there, mostly when there's a ton of things open or while downloading.

Since I spend most of my day on wifi, I love the battery life. I never got the battery life I see on this phone on my Evo4g. Of course, wifi is not real world but I don't feel the battery drain to be out of the ordinary when I'm on 3g.

So far, I'm pretty happy with it. There's still a few little nags here and there I'd like to address but I think most of the big problems are gone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] petrochemicals:
V3 is a pretty good build, but I can not get Modern Combat 3 to play on it. Seems that some ICS roms will let it install while others do not.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
Flashed it and getting things set back up again. Looks great so far!

On first boot, you are prompted to select between two options to continue. Select Setup to start the usual Android guided setup.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Thanks for bringing that up, I forgot to mention it. I also forgot I was going to fix that before uploading. Oops!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] y2kdread:
Not sure if this has been addressed or not, but I started WiMax from the toggle widget and I am not seeing a icon showing it is connected.

When I go into the WiMax settings it looks like it is stuck at turning on, but it is connected and getting an IP address.

Any ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Unfortunately I could not test that since I have no 4g. I wonder if it has to do with the wimax download changes. Does the 4g actually work? Is it just the icon that's missing?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] y2kdread:
It does look like it works, the speed is where it should be. Just not icon and the 4G settings looks stuck at "turning on".

It looks like it might have just been a fluke the first time I turned on 4G. Everything seems to be working fine now.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ehiggins:
Anyone have a mirror? I can't get any of the downloads to work on my phone
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
Everything is working great on my phone. WiMax works fine... getting ~15Mbps download speeds. Send and receive MMS works. Google Wallet works.

You did a tremendous job on this build! It has everything I want and none of the nonsense I don't (who needs overclocking with a ROM as responsive as this?) The reboot option was the only feature I was missing and that's in this version.

Let us know if you change your mind regarding donations. It sounds like you built this up for fun but it still took a lot of work and you were generous enough to share it with us. Thank you.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FAFS:
Hey guys how's the battery with this rom?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
How stable is this ROM compared to CM9 a19?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chrisliphart:
Used it all afternoon/evening, and while I can't speak to the battery life (there's low signal in my college), everything else works great. Navigation has zero issues, which I was having problems with on other kernels and roms, Wallet works perfectly (thanks Google for paying for my McDonald's!), and 4G works without a hitch. Good stuff, and it's nice to see a clean ROM that's not trying to be Mini CM9. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
Pretty good, I'd say.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Awesome. Been running CM9 a19 for 4 days now without a single FC and reboot. I think I will try this ROM too. Does this ROM remove Recovery on reboot? Also does tethering work on this ROM? Been using the built in Android ICS tethering from CM9.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
If someone answer that question it'll be all he or she say...

No honest way to answer, you must flash to find out.

This ROM is Vanilla/Stock lightly modded.

CM9 is considered to be heavily modded and the opposite of stock.

Hope this help... :)

Edit: I use both and both are stable.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FAFS:
Wow that is good battery life my phone is never close to that. What kernel do you use?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
Built in tethering - yes

Reboot menu - yes
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] eid3tic:
Face Unlock

Is it just me or did Face Unlock disappear?

Working great otherwise, thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
Eugene's icup Speedy2
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
I've never included face unlock in my rom. It's in some gapps that you can flash but I personally don't include it. I'm not sure I will ever add it since I consider it a gimmick.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Not sure what you mean by remove recovery on reboot. If you're asking if it gives you the reboot options to boot into recovery, yes. If you're asking if flashing it removes recovery, no it does not.

Thanks, I hope to keep this as simple as possible. Luckily that means not a lot more work other than trying to track down some problems. :D

It took a lot of time but I'm learning so much, it's totally worth it! Maybe one day I'll consider myself worth of donations but I don't think we'll have the NS4G when that day comes. :D Thanks for the kind words!

I think I'll start hosting this myself tonight. I have space and bandwidth but the initial rush for v1 when it came out was a bit much. Now that there's several roms and I probably have 5 users, I can handle it. :D I will update the first post once it's uploaded to my server.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
Some roms do not remove the stock recovery, so when you try to boot into cwm, you get the triangle/exclamation/Android dude.

I think he's asking if his cwm will remain intact, to which the answer is "yes".
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Thanks for the reply. I actually downloaded the ROM and checked the /system/etc folder for the install-recovery.sh file and it's not there so i knew it wouldn't override my cwm recovery.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Yep, the stock recovery is removed and it won't mess with your existing one.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Tried the ROM, it's very responsive. I noticed when I started up the phone I had to manually launch the Setup wizard. Any chance on changing the boot animation? Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MissingSpartan:
You can add any boot animation you like by dropping a properly formatted file into /data/local, assuming you're rooted. I use Auntie Dot, as I'm a Halo geek.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] eid3tic:
Mine doesn't seem to work. I tried reflashing the KE1 radio but am still only getting 3G. When I enable 4G, the phone does a scan, but doesn't pick up the network. Any ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chrisliphart:
4G works just fine for me. Only once have I had to go in and turn it off and back on for it to connect. Icon, speed, and everything worked just fine.

I've been running this ROM for 2 full days now, and that one thing is the only hiccup I've hit with it. I'm running the included kernel, and the battery life is incredible compared to oICS with every kernel I tried. On that ROM, the best I expected and hoped for was 10-11 hours. With this one, I'm easily hitting 18-19 hours with the same usage (moderate to low). I'm beyond happy.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] eid3tic:
I'm beginning to think it is just because I have fairly poor coverage in the area surrounding my house. When I got home after going out, I noticed the 4G icon on the status bar before it switched back to 3G, so maybe the phone is just choosing to use a good 3G connection rather than a poor 4G one.

Regarding the battery life, I am beyond pleased as well. I hit 18 hours yesterday with 7% remaining still!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chrisliphart:
Day 3, and this ROM is killer. I'm still astounded at how stable, smooth, and battery efficient it is! The only, and I mean ONLY, thing I would add in is Facebook Sync. I'm not a big fan of Friendcaster, and I've seen it enabled in other ROMs. Little things like that make me wish I knew how to dev, as I hate to ask for something tiny like that when the ROM is otherwise perfect. Is it a possibility?

EDIT:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409270

I think this is the code needed, but it's in the Galaxy Nexus forum. Like I said, I'm not a dev, so I have no idea. In the meantime, I found HaxSync. For a buck, I'll use it so I don't have to use Friendcaster. (I know, I'm one of the weird ones that prefers the Facebook app over Friendcaster!)

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] spanish wonder:
Anybody got a fixes for the red borders??
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
I incorporated the "fix", tested it, and removed it.

Why? Because it's pretty darn crappy. Yes, it syncs your FB contacts but it's like an on/off switch. When you turn on the sync option in the FB app, it dumps every contact from FB into People. Worse, there's no way to tell it not to display contacts without phone numbers so you end up with potentially hundreds of contacts that you may not want.

On top of that, my primary reason for wanting this is to sync pictures of my existing contacts and picture sync doesn't work at all.

No picture sync & no toggles display preferences = no go for me. I made the decision to keep my modifications limited to things that actually work properly and IMO, it does not work. I'm sure someone will fix this soon and then I'll bake it into my ROM.

Hope that makes sense.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
What kernel are you using? I have not tested any of the kernels out there so I haven't experienced this. I'll look into it, it's something to do with strict mode.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chrisliphart:
Makes total sense, and that's the exact reason I want it too; photos for current contacts. Thanks for testing and explaining it, and thanks for keeping it out. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
I for one can give a damned about Facebook sync. i can read the names in my address book and don't need pictures. Matter of fact, i keep my Facebook app frozen until i want to use it. Then I defrost as needed. Usually once a week or so. Don't get the fascination with Facebook. Kind of happy Google blocked it from syncing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
I personally prefer the built in syncing for Google+ but none of my friends are on there. :D

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tamvegas:
The battery life on this rom is amazing. This is with lite use. Been using it for about a week now with no FCs or issues. One thing I've found is that turning off the WiFi when not in use makes a huge difference in battery life.

Thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
I've also been very happy with v3 of this ROM. Everything's been working great; fast and stable. Picked up some McDonalds with Google Wallet this morning. Was using the built in wifi tethering yesterday and it works like a champ. Awesome ROM!

MacDonald's PUT onions on my burger, I understand you didn't claim responsibility if they forgot to include them with an individuals order.

I close my case telling you, that you're responsible for this rant and it's directed towards you not as your username, but as you as a person.

Good Night!!

I don't think you understand how angry I am right now.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
at the time Speedy-4, but I used it with another ROM and it was fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
I can't explain why some people are having this problem but all I've done is follow the instructions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1408308

Then, apply this ROM and then the Superuser update. That's it. I don't bother with alternate kernels because this one does everything I want it to.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chrisliphart:
Yeah, I've got to say, I've seen zero reason to use a different kernel, unless you're looking for BLN. And I've also seen no reason for a new version (unless you're itching to use a different kernel, which again, I see little to no reason for). I keep switching ROMs because, let's face it, many of us are compulsive flashers, only to continually restore my backup of this ROM. Battery life is amazing, zero lag anywhere, and no force closes. What else could you want? This ROM is SOLID. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
Yeah, nothing major but a few tweaks and what not. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sph33r:
There are certain kernels that I believe are overwriting the strict mode override that is baked into the ROM, hence causing this red border. Not sure how to fix that other than don't run their kernel or ask them to look into it.

Any chance of basing the next update on 4.0.4 and the new radio firmware from the latest leaks?

Either way, LOVE this ROM. No silly tweaker BS, just a nice, clean, hassle-free upgrade for my NS4G. Been using it for a bit over a month, and it's pretty much perfect as far as I can tell! THANKS!

Just paste whichever boot animation you want in System / Media (rename or remove the original animation prior to pasting in the new one).

The radio is independent of the rom, just flash whichever version you wish.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
According to the Twitter feeds from Google higher ups they accomplished what they set out to do... Release the Galaxy Nexus international, the Verizon version and ICS OTA for the Nexus S. They said their work is done for the year 2011.

But with these binaries released and source I'm sure we will have a nice share of custom built ROMs from source to enjoy until then.

Basically it sounds like we got shafted until 2012 for an official ICS update for the NS4G unless Santa Claus at Google delivers us a surprise....
