Cant wait for a custom kernel from pete. I just want BLN not all the other crap that makes my phone crash and reboot every 5 minutes.
[Nexus S General] The111:
+1

I would love to try BLN... sounds nice. But not worth it to me to flash one of those "other" many-featured kernels where I am reading so many reports of random reboots.
[Nexus S General] Kindatired:
Using Glados 2.2 on Petes rom and haven't had one reboot or glitch. You shouldn't be worried.

Sent from a Nexus S powered by Pete Alfonso's ICS and Glados 2.2
[Nexus S General] The111:
Thanks. I think I'll give it a few days with Pete's kernel, then swap to glados and compare.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
+1

2.3 is up now and i'm gonna read a bit and perhaps flash that one over this 12/22 nightly!!

i have to admit that with previous roms i was flashing, i was sorta afraid to update with the newer version for fear of something going wrong (which it typically did)... granted those were pre-NS ICS OTA release so they did great for what they were... but Pete's rom is ROCK SOLID even with stock kernal or glados, like i'm running!!
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
I'm terribly sorry...but is this the "superbitchfest" thread? Seem to have taken a wrong turn looking for info about Pete's ROM.....

has anyone tried Mathkid's 13.0 with latest nightly? Opinions? Problems? Just looking for some user input.

Thanks! : )
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
Face unlock works pretty good on my NS4G... i think it's the lighting i took the original picture in... in any case, please do NOT remove this feature even if it's mostly useless lol... i only say useless, not because of our low-res camera... i say useless b/c have you ever tried unlocking your phone with this feature while driving?? just don't do it lol

[Nexus S General] Zorrich:
Eugene posted a kernel that is pretty much stock with the exception of BLN and voodoo colors. BLN is not listed on the change log, but I am using it now through nstools and I can confirm it works. Highly recommend this kernel.
[Nexus S General] The111:
Thanks, but it looks like it's for NS and not NS4G. I'll keep my eyes open though...

Is anyone else having a problem with the "Android System" destroying battery life? My battery info shows my device has stayed awake all day and spare parts won't help of course.
[Nexus S General] Bruce lee roy:
What kernal are you using?
[Nexus S General] bearsblack:
I'm running Pete's 12-22 with glados 2.2 and no reboots or crashes or fcs or anything bad to report. Been running smooth as glass for 2 days now.

[Nexus S General] TheBurgh:
Sorry to say that Mathkid's kernel was to unstable for my ns4g. I have been on Glados 2.3 for the past couple of hours and it is running smooth.
[Nexus S General] zstuart:
I'm coming off of Pete's bugless, I just flashed the 12/20 nightly. What do you suggest I use?

Edit: I did reboot the system, uncheck force 2d rendering, and force close facebook and now it seems to not be awake 24/7. Which one do you think kept it on?
[Nexus S General] hubonst:
Love the rom, but Yes battery life is not good.
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
The battery bug with the OS eating battery like hungry hungry hippo its not Pete's or any other ics rom makers fault its Google they know about it that's why they stopped the OTA going out & Google is looking into why the battery goes empty in a few hours so when the nexus s 4g gets the ota Google would iron out the bug & we shall be good
[Nexus S General] hubonst:
I know it's not related to Pete's, hoping Google gets it straightened out soon.
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
I had a feeling that the battery life was better with 20/12 than with 22/12. Flashed back 20/12 to check it.

[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
I love this rom. Can't wait until it gets voodoo

TO EVERYONE. ITS BEST TO RUN PETES STOCK ROM WITH THIS. BECSUSE HIS ROMS ARE NOT INTENDED TO HAVE CUSTOM KERNALS.

My best description of how it feels to run this: This is the smoothest experience ever. Its like licking a clean cold glass window that is wet in the middle of a grassy meadow on top of a skyscraper in the middle of a big city on a hot day laying on a mattress with nude woman jerking you off and you dont have the slightest bit of self-consciousnes. Looking down seeing Ferraris driving by homeless models posing for H&M. With a daytime moon in full. Sipping on a 7-11 iced coffee, All while listing to Moby- porcelain

[Nexus S General] oakleyrdc:
I can't get mms to work on Petes latest nightly. Was there a fix for that?
[Nexus S General] styckx:
I just finally loaded ADW Ex on this. Holy crap. I expected it to perform badly against the native ICS launcher. It is smoother and runs more cleanly than the native launcher. So weird. ADW Ex feels more default on ICS then the actual default launcher.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Peter is aware of the mms bug we're both tied up, but we are both looking for a resolution to it. Its possible a market mms app will still work tho
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
Haha maybe

Nexus S + CM9 kangs = Awesomeness ;)
[Nexus S General] dwielunski:
I use Google voice for texts, and when someone sends an MMS I get it through Gmail. Strange but it works.
[Nexus S General] dwielunski:
The ICS browser is much much smoother.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
nope handcent doesn't work either hopefully we get it soon.
[Nexus S General] Tahde:
LOL. I was just going to try that and report back. I had everything working on 12/20 including MMS. Last night I flashed 12/22 and went back to 12/20 as I liked how that ran better (for me atleast). I now see that I cant get MMS to me, weird. Other than that. Everything is flawless. :D

I can check a couple apps from the market as well to see if any works and report back.

Update. GOSMS works for receiving MMS. Not sure if anyone else has tried that or I missed it working for someone in this thread. If so, my apologies.
[Nexus S General] funcrusher:
Gosms works. you have to manually click 'download' but it does so successfully.
[Nexus S General] Tahde:
Yup. This is something I can deal with until there is a fix. First time using another program instead of stock. lol.
[Nexus S General] ragnarokx:
I'm getting a loud burst of static for about half a second after my notification sound goes off. This happens will all notifications, but doesn't happen when selecting a sound in settings - only when I get a text, etc.

I'm on the 12-22 nightly, no custom kernel.
[Nexus S General] marjaN_:
can you tell which nightly is the best atm and what doesn't work?

thx anyway!
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
12/22 seems to be working great on my phone... The only issue I have is every time I restart my phone I have to reinstall my calendar... Calendar wasn't even syncing on earlier builds so I had to manually remove/install it anyways...
[Nexus S General] SComp23:
Problem with mine is that the "Awake" bar is solid blue, it never goes to sleep.
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
Smoothly
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i think i saw you over in the aosp thread... did you run oICSv43? if so, what did you think? i was tempted to try it but Pete's rom has been amazing with the exception of a few things i have to reinstall/fix myself... and of course sms isn't there (but i rarely use it anyways)...
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
I like Pete's. Its practically stock but its much smoother.

With Aosp it felt really buggy because not it force closed but because I get a green flick when the screen goes off.

I say try both. You might like either better.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i was on aosp's up to v36... after that i found Pete's and i can honestly say that i haven't had ONE SINGLE FC or random reboot on Pete's rom... so i'm doing a complete return to stock and wiping my phone of everything and starting over with Pete's 12/22 + Glados 2.3 like i currently have... that has been the most stable and usable for my phone so far!!

thanks for your response!
[Nexus S General] h46it:
styckx,

Tried the methods in the link you gave me, but i've still having problems. I have no idea what is going on...i'm so confused. I'm going to keep trying to figure this out. :'(
[Nexus S General] fwald:
Is everyone using Pete's ROM getting the Face Unlock option, or just some of us?

I have downloaded and installed the 22-Dec nightly three separate times, and I still don't have the option for Face Unlock under System Settings/Security/Screen Lock

This is a minor thing--hell, I don't even particularly care to use Face Unlock--but it's driving me nuts, and makes me wonder if there're other things wrong with my installation.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
I have it.. Seriously, you aren't missing anything.. There is a reason Google didn't include it.. It works like 1% of the time and you'll spend at least 5 minutes ****ing with the camera position and trying to face a light source just so the camera can even detect you to activate face unlock. It's a waste of time on this phone, you'll end up entering in your pin 99 out of 100 times.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i completely wiped my phone, returned to stock and then flashed 12/22 again with glados 2.3 kernal and i have face unlock... tho, i've never had an issue with face unlock on other flashes...

and while on the subject... face unlock works really good on my NS4G... most people are probably taking a picture in either too much light or not enough light... it can't be too bright/dark or the phone won't recognize your face in most cases... i can demo this for someone if they want showing most of the time my phone unlocks with face unlock!?! in other words, it seems to be a bug on the user end and not the camera/app

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

this was mentioned in the aosp thread and it's something i've noticed with that rom and this one...

my internet seems to have slowed down quite a bit while surfing on 3G... is this something with ICS/kernal/etc... if so, how do i fix this?? i used "propmodder" that came with the aosp build of ICS to uncap the speeds... but when i swapped it to this rom, it just FC's... i know it's holiday, so not in a rush to get this resolved... just thought i'd bring it up!!

[Nexus S General] joenathane:
:confused:Could someone explain who Peter Alfonso is and why there seem to be so many excited about his attention on the 4G?
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
He is a great dev here and has done really good work. Always makes the most stable and smoothes roms can't wait for his ics rom :)
[Nexus S General] mercado79:
his roms always seemed to get just about the best battery life and smoothest operation. not sure what the magic elixir was. in fact, after some bugginess in recent gb kernels, i went back to his kernel and was once again pleasantly surprised. flashed over cm174. no problems to speak of. great battery life as expected.

i never stayed with his rom because i like having some of the cm mods (toggle notification widget for example... and theme engine). either way, i trust his work and fully recommend it. too bad that he was pushed out of the nexus s 4g dev forum.

his website is peteralfonso.com or follow him on twitter.

oh, one last fyi... like many other devs, he's a student and so he sometimes goes quiet for a few days, even weeks at a time, but he rarely leaves any outstanding bugs just sitting there. updates come only when "needed".
[Nexus S General] borrowedchief:
Ugh. That pic. Right before I go to bed. No bueno

ALREADY!?!? The man is a god, I swear. I came to the NS4G from my HeroC and now that AOSP is on the NS4G ICS bandwagon, (I switched from GPA19->oICS36 two days ago and am flashing oICS40 now) I think Pete has got some serious competition. AOSP is legendary if you're coming from the HeroC scene, and Pete develops the only ROMs that even come close in terms of stability, speed, battery life, and general user experience. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Stable, Stable, Stable. I've almost never had a problem with any of Pete's builds. Few, if any users can say that about custom ROMS.
[Nexus S General] Paul627g:
Pete should put together a good build... I'm looking forward to this and even other ROMs like Oxygen to be updated to 4.0.3. Both are from quality devs.

On the same build as well. I cant tell the difference at all. I've been really putting my phone to the test and I'm very satisfied with the results of the battery thus far.
[Nexus S General] fwald:
I get that. That's not the point. The point is, why is the install bad, and what else might be wrong?

I saw this thread about the proper way to fully wipe (ew, sounds like something for a 2-year old).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1408308

I have been wiping data and dalvik, but not formatting system and boot. Does Pete's zip format system and boot automatically?
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
just do a factory data reset in cwm is all
[Nexus S General] aversusb:
Was a happy user of Bugless GB. Jumped over to AOSP's ROMs but wanted to come back and give Pete's a try. AOSP's latest was getting too modded for my liking. I love fast clean stock. I'm on the 12/22 nightly with stock kernel. Runs snappy as expected. But I do have the OS battery thing going on. Is there a pseudo fix for this ATM? What is the kernel of choice? Stock? Glados? Matrix? Franco's kernels were awesome on Pete's GB. Did Franco take a holiday from dev past 4.0.3?
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
Franco has a HTC sensation I read some where.
[Nexus S General] fwald:
If you read the referenced thread, a factory reset does NOT format /sytem and /boot.

[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
Was using 22/12 with eugene's rom, it was very good. Decided to try GlaDOS 2.4 bfs to get BLD, and it is working very well too, quite fast.
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
as i had several small issues with these nightlies i made some tests w/ 19/12 - 22/12 and w/some kernels

- whichever rom i install there is always a "random offset ..." note indicating really some random issue as the offset number referred is always different. what does it mean?

- sms/mms worx fine w/19/12 but not w/the others

- calendar does not work w/19/12 but it does w/the others

- except for the very first install of 19/12 soundfx is incomplete (broken???) as bass boost and 3D cannot be tuned anymore

- switching between apps is rather laggy. e.g. news reader screen is often lost when switching to and from the browser. i know google reader is quite "old" but i use it every day, and this "laggyness" seems to be a general issue. 19/12 seems to be the less laggy.

- magnifying screens by double tap is even more laggy. on some sites it takes lots of (hopeless) attempts. where is the tappy magnifier hidden ?

- memory management seems to be the most economic w/glados 2.4 cfs but sometimes it produces terrific lag on switching apps

at the moment, i'm on 19/12 with pete's kernel as it seems to be the optimal choice. not the best in all aspects but optimal. some apps (calendar, soundfx, ...) i recovered from different titanium backups, so each app is fully functional.

what is your experience with the issues above ?
