Thanks! I have tried a few of his dailies but couldn't ever get them to flash on my NS4G. I see that he has made some changed and the ICUP version should load on NS and NS4G now. Gonna flash!
[Nexus S General] Erickomen27:
Thanks! I Found It Just Before You Posted Haha I Should Have Waited :p
[Nexus S General] aversusb:
C'mon Pete...We need another release!
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
why? This release is already flawless :)
[Nexus S General] aversusb:
I would like to use Google Wallet. But yes, other than that...It is rock solid!
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
google wallet and mms doesn't work for me on this rom... i don't use google wallet so not a big deal... but the mms is something i "could" use more if i had it!
[Nexus S General] ragnarokx:
Some improvements for lag would be good. The latest CM9 kangs are definitely faster.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
just the same...right now flashing back pete from cm9 kang
[Nexus S General] ragnarokx:
Really? I don't remember this ROM being practically lag-free like yesterday's CM9 kang. Guess I'll have to flash Peter's again to compare, but might as well wait for the next update at this point.
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
Thought I should share this with all of ya. We all know that ICS auto brightness settings blows. Its way too dark. But! Not anymore :)

Pete's just taking a break for the holidays he'll release another build soon & it should be better smoother & faster
[Nexus S General] navillos:
Does anyone know how to change the 3g to an H in systemui.apk?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i do but not off the top of my head and i'm not near my computer to look at the exact files!! if you can wait a day or two, i can answer... i'm sure someone will beat me to it tho lol
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
pete's ics 19/12 + eugene's kernel 30/12 = smooth, fast w/low consumption

i hope pete releases a fast and stable kernel instead of the slow and laggy stock kernel
[Nexus S General] itlnstln:
This. I had been running the nightlies stock but decided to check out Eugene's kernel last night. Big difference. Now, I can't wait for Pete to build his own kernel.
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
eugene is developing his own rom now
[Nexus S General] Eunidas:
Can't wait for the latest update

I was very happy with 2212. But then i found AndroidME. That rom is blazing fast and butter smooth coupled with eugene's kernel. Heck i didnt even replaced the stock launcher. I am sure pete will step up his game.

Eagerly waiting for his next update..
[Nexus S General] LordLugard:
Are you referring to the NS4G ROM by beezer, with face unlock? Heard about that one but not really in the mood to register on yet another site..just to download.

Also awaiting Pete's update with some of the minimal new features. I know he keeps it Vanilla as possible.
[Nexus S General] itlnstln:
This. I wish he would make a Bugless Beast for the Xoom.
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
yep. a bare-bone Vanilla w/BLN&voodoo. that's what I need (too).
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
that's coming.. don't know when but its coming.. he recently opened up his Xoom... :)

I would love a GPA20 bugless beast vanilla experience.. :)

[Nexus S General] aversusb:
change log?

Flash over with cache/dalvik wipe or full?
[Nexus S General] :
I also want a change log.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Pete doesn't usually post change logs for the nightlies. You can follow his changes on his GitHub.
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
Pretty much never a change log from Pete. If it isn't on the main page of his site.

Downloading new nightlies now
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
the changelog is on his site but i can't remember what was on the old changelog from the new one, if it indeed was updated b/c it's not separated by release :/
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
We got Facebook sync :)
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Nice! So FB Sync and MMS are working properly now, has anyone tried Wallet?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
wait, are those things confirmed?? i'll switch from the aosp rom i'm running right if they are... Pete's rom is by far the most stable i've used so far... all the other roms i've used seem to have random reboots :(
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
I haven't flashed it yet myself, I'm just stating what other users are reporting.
[Nexus S General] syntax_gosong:
I also need the changelog. Can someone provide us?
[Nexus S General] SComp23:
Name changed from 12-21 to 1-2
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Pete's changelog is here- http://download.peteralfonso.com/changelog

But it has not been updated for this build yet, as he doesn't always update his changlogs for nightlies. You can follow his changes on his GitHub here- https://github.com/peteralfonso
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
MMS is working on this build... i didn't do a full wipe... just the basic wipes and installed this... working smooth as expected but no Facebook sync... not sure where that was mentioned but it def doesn't work... MMS was working on the other rom i was using... gonna go back to that one b/c it was way more customized for my liking :)
[Nexus S General] ehac1680:
I can confirm that MMS and Facebook Sync are working. Also that Google Wallet still is NOT working.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Facebook Sync is working fine for me.

Yes, yes, and yes.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
dammit... i didn't feel like doing a full wipe but the facebook sync is very tempting lol... i really dislike using "friendcaster" to sync everything...

so in "Accounts & Sync" it lets you select "Facebook" to add to programs that sync?? this is the way i was trying to sync it...
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
You have to have sync enabled in the Facebook app.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
let me try again... brb...
[Nexus S General] ehac1680:
Does anyone know of a way to fix the auto brightness from being so dark other than installing a 3rd party app?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
sorry i feel like a newb but i cannot figure out where to enable sync on the Facebook app... and it's definitely not sticking when i try to add the account under "Accounts & Sync" :(
[Nexus S General] ehac1680:
1) Accounts & Sync ==> Add Account

2) Select Facebook and login

3) Select Sync option and click the sync button

4)Return to Accounts and Sync and you will see Facebook
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
thanks for posting the pictures... definitely helps showing me where to look for this... i have to flash pete's rom again as i already went back to the other rom lol... brb...
[Nexus S General] dan96815:
What do you think is the best Kernel for this ROM?

Thanks,,
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
ok... i tried it... the facebook sync doesn't load the pictures for me... not sure if it's an ICS issue b/c it loads on my sisters MT4G running GB... the "friendcaster" app syncs that stuff just fine with the exception of non-hq pictures... i guess i just have to deal with this for now!!

still having an issue with "gmail" closing after installing this rom... been happening since the first nightly... uninstalling through Titanium Backup and re-installing it seems to work just fine tho...
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
Try Matr1x kernel v 13.5 with 200 min 1200 Max governor Lag Free its fast like flash!!! ;p
[Nexus S General] Serious_Beans:
Eugene's Speedy 2 kernel FOR SURE! Best kernel I've used for ICS so far.
[Nexus S General] danielrod:
+1!!! Speedy 2 is great
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
pete updated the ROM!

[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
how fast is the last update 2-1-2012 compared to other roms? (packed with eugene's kernel speedy 2)
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
Can anyone comment on whether a full wipe is necessary to enable FB sync? I'd be coming from the most recent 12-22 ROM.
[Nexus S General] Tahde:
+1 on this.

Curious to know how this is running for everyone that flashed this. Everything working (MMS fix)? When I was running this ROM, I used GoSMS for the meantime.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Im gonna flash yesterdays build with speedy-3 kernel.. :)

EDIT: Now flashed it, flashed the speedy-3 kernel and installed the trebuchet launcher. nothing smoother possible. :D
[Nexus S General] Tahde:
After I just got mines tweaked to my perfection. DAMN! lol. Ok....going in! :D
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
what tweaks did you set?? plz share :P. is there a battery % MOD for this?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
impatient grasshopper... i flashed from aosp's oICSv43 to the newest nightly w/o doing a full wipe and facebook sync worked for me... so it's pretty safe to say just do the cache/dalvic wipe and you're fine to flash the newest nightly!!
[Nexus S General] Tahde:
Had everything set to how I needed it with another ROM. Then I read your post. lol. Loading up Petes ROM now.

Havent seen a % mod yet. But I havent looked either. I'm sure someone has done something.
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
i couldn't see anything but some cosmetics. mms does not work well, yet. did i miss anything ?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i confirmed last night that the latest nightly (01-02-12) DOES support MMS & Facebook sync now!!
[Nexus S General] mobile_pc:
Peter Alfonso dislikes "Statusbar Widgets"? :(
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
yes, i can send but can't receive. just like in any other except for 19/12.
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
Lol, not normally, but I noticed my comment was at the bottom of the page and thought it'd be overlooked. Anyway, I did try with the cache and dalvik wipe, but fb sync didn't work. So I just did a fresh install. All works now, though I don't think fb sync pulls contact pics in.. Thanks.
[Nexus S General] mobile_pc:
Oh, Peter's handsome!
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
both ways worked for me just fine... i got pics from several phones when i tested it!

yeah, i don't think the pics get sync'd either which is why i switched back to another rom for now... this one is the most stable but the least customized option... i want options :)
[Nexus S General] joeminati:
Quick Question. Does the newest ICS 4G rom have the Wifi Tether which blocks Sprint knowing if your using the service or not?
[Nexus S General] tehgeekguy:
No, and it probably never will. Just download the app and install it yourself.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
not sure how true this b/c i'm still a newb myself... but someone said once you're rooted, you don't have to worry about your carrier seeing you tethering... in other words, if you're installing roms and such, you are rooted and can tether away!! :)

i have tethered several times since rooting my phone and i see nothing on my bill showing i've been using it... so i guess it's true about the rooted thing b/c i don't use any additional program on my phone to tether!

hope that helps!
[Nexus S General] tehgeekguy:
Yeah, I'm not sure how true that is... I'm fairly certain they could tell, even if you're rooted. It's still the same kind of data that's being transferred; however, I always say be careful and don't go crazy and you SHOULD be ok. I'll admit I don't tether very much since I have a wifi connection just about everywhere I go... the few times I do tether, it's nothing huge.

The thing that's different about Koush's new app is that it basically sets up the phone as a proxy server, and you need to install a client on your computer that will work with that, atleast from my understanding of his explanation.

Anyways, back on topic, the latest nightly from 1/2/2012 for the NS is running great here! Battery life is good... went through about 15% in 12 hours with light/moderate use.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
How do you guys get such good battery life on PA's or any ICS. I have 18% left and have been off the charger for 10.5 hours. That good? Screen used 30% and OS 18%.
[Nexus S General] tehgeekguy:
It's all based on your usage. I didn't use mine a whole lot today, browsing reddit for a few minutes here and there, a handful of phone calls ~5 minutes each, maybe 10 text messages back and forth, and just some light miscellaneous use. Also, I should've stated before that I'm using Netarchy's latest kernel (1.0.3).
[Nexus S General] ehac1680:
What I've noticed with ICS contacts is that if a contact has a picture associated with them in google contacts or on the phone then it uses that instead of the FB picture. If there is no picture on a contact then it will use and keep in sync the FB picture. However, if you go to a contact and edit the contact scroll to the bottom it will show the FB picture for that contact and if you click the picture and select use this picture it will then sync just fine with FB. At least that's what is happening on my phone.
[Nexus S General] xd4d3v:
Anyone has a complete changelog of this version? not sure how to get it from github
[Nexus S General] tehgeekguy:
Nope, Pete only posts changes he feels are noteworthy. Github isn't too terrible, just go to https://github.com/peteralfonso and checkout the right-hand side where it has public activity.
[Nexus S General] aversusb:
I just flashed 1/2/12 ROM and then added Eugene's Speedy 3. Very smooth. Will have to wait for a few battery cycles to comment on battery.

Noticed the FB sync option as well as MMS working.

Tested Wallet. APK will load and then just stop.
[Nexus S General] xd4d3v:
pls remove.
[Nexus S General] AshsToAshs:
crespo4g_12-22-1 is PERFECT!

With petes past ICS nightlys i would have problems with MMS or calendar or gallery. In crespo4g_12-22-1 everything works! And he threw facebook sync in! Im loving it!!!

Thanks pete!
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
I'm not seeing any fb pictures at all when I go to edit a contact with a fb account joined there.
[Nexus S General] Nantaphan:
his build is aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeSOM !! :)
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
strange. receiving worked only w/19/12 for me. maybe i do need a full wipe ... :-\
[Nexus S General] ehiggins:
My calendar still doesn't have the little carrots that you click to expand an events details
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
I couldn't download anything with wimax in the browser.
[Nexus S General] radioguinea:
Before I try the latest build, does Google Wallet work if you install from the Market? If not, is there ANY build that works? Thanks!
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Google Wallet from the Market does not work on this ROM yet. I haven't tried to install it any other way yet.
[Nexus S General] radioguinea:
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll have to pass. I'm currently using a kang from rootzwiki and so far its running good. I just wanted something with a tad bit better battery life!
[Nexus S General] vansmack:
This is correct. Neither the Market version nor nauckwj's "Google Wallet 1.1-R41V8 for ICS 4.0.3" work on the 1-2-12 nightly. Force closes.

Otherwise, brilliant ROM. MMS working and I'm getting FB contact sync with photos (of course, I do a full wipe every time).

Nice work Pete.
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
just confirmed:

full wipe + p'ics0102 = mms received empty (no pics)

wipe cache/dalvik + p'ics1912 = mms complete !

so it is on my crespo. any idea how to make mms to work on later builds ?
[Nexus S General] ehiggins:
Try updating your profile to get your mms working mine works on the new build
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
K so im trying this newer ROM and i noticed peter still has the same tick sound when clicking on stuff its not the real IC sound effect and sounds really dull ..anyways here is the actual sound file i pulled of my stock IC ROM

sounds much better

just delete "effect_tick" in system/media/audio/ui

and replace with this one and reboot

make sure you extract before moving had to compress to upload
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
what do u mean by this ? what profile should i update ? i started from the factory defaults :-o

sms/mms is a weak point of i9023. when i got mine it took a time to learn how to make them work flawless as the factory defaults were/are wrong. i have always problems when changing providers (say, going abroad). i must refresh the settings by hand every time.

however, i don't think it is the problem now. as mms works in one release but not in the other (w/the same setting !) it must be a rom issue.
[Nexus S General] SwollenMonkey:
Always come back to Pete's roms. :)

Anyone able to get the new nightly to install? I've downloaded 4 times now and it has failed on everyone.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Users on RootzWiki report that it is working. Wallet is working now.

Some users downloaded it while it was still uploading, resulting in a corrupt download. Try clearing your download cache and download again.
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
Agree...I think you may have downloaded them before they were completely uploaded. I am running it now just fine. I tried downloading it earlier and noticed it downloading faster than usual so I just waited til he tweeted they were all uploaded.

Running great here
[Nexus S General] baolongn:
How is this rom...? I'm on stock and want more speed without sacrificing too much
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
The last nightly was my jump to ICS. And downloaded today's and am completely happy with the results. I loved BB on GB that I didn't want to change, but pretty glad I did now. I am using Matrix 14.0 right now for my kernel. Can't wait til Pete builds his kernel.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] aversusb:
I did read that Pete recommends that you do a full wipe to to the latest update. That is the way to get FB sync to work.

Are y'all running with the existing kernel or flash someone elses? The combo on BB 1/2/2012 and Eugene's 3.1.6 ANY KERNEL has been amazing for me.
[Nexus S General] tonystark0213:
Everything is running great for me with the newest nightly. Wallet installed and opened normally. It showed my previous balance and everything. MMS is working (it's been working since the 12/22 nightly). Facebook sync works fine as well.
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
Is this normal usage percentages for ICS? My battery is taking a beating. Going to reset my battery stats in the morning and see what happens

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] aversusb:

reboot into recovery and fix permissions. That stopped the high battery and/or awake time for mine
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
Will try that. Will see what happens. Thanks for the advice.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
nope, nope, nope ... mms does not work on my i9023, yet :'( i guess it was just fixed for 4g.

everything else seem to work fine. it is the first rom where wallet kicked in at the first attempt. no trick, no hack just pop-in ... w/a msg "not in your country or not for ur carrier" :P

remember, pete suggested to wipe data for perfect synch !
[Nexus S General] Zorrich:
If that doesn't work, turn off auto-rotate in the display settings. Appears to be a bug with that in ICS.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
It seems smoother than the rest. The only thing that is a bit of a disappointment is the multitasking feature. Takes a long second to open up if you have used a lot of apps during the day.

I wonder if Wallet actually works when you go to check out, without having done a full wipe that is.... I just wiped my caches and updated.
[Nexus S General] antibox:
Installed the 1-5-12 update. Google wallet initiated correctly. I have yet to test it at a store. Today at lunch I will give it a try and report back.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
It initiated for me on cm 9 a while back to but would not make a purchase. People look at you like wtf is this dude doing?
[Nexus S General] antibox:
Yeah. I had that happen a couple times, and I'm looking at my phone like why tf are you making me look stupid, just work!:o That's why I don't trust that its "working" yet.

On a side note wallet initiated a new account and gave me the $10 credit again, which is cool except that I had like $18 balance on there before. I had to call The Money Network to sort it all out and get the old account synced with the phone.
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
Why am I being asked to activate my phone on this build ?
[Nexus S General] antibox:
IDK but it has been on all PA ICS builds. I have had no problem getting through that step though and everything else seemed setup as expected.
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
Nope. Never happened to me before. Even on his earlier builds.

Now it's telling me that I cannot activate....

**EDIT. I'm in. That was odd
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
Did you do a full wipe before this install? I always hit skip at that screen.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] aversusb:
Don't have any hard evidence to back this up but when asked to activate your phone, it simply dials into Sprint's network and checks the ESN. It might update your profile on the network allowing you to skip that step when getting your phone back up and running.

It always activates when I do a complete wipe and fix permissions.

I did have a first last night jumping to BB1/5. When I got the phone up and running my apps that I had downloaded on BB1/2 began to auto load back onto my BB1/5 build. I guess that this is part of the Google backup process you can opt into or out of?

I also turning off "auto rotate" and my Android OS has dropped significantly in battery %
[Nexus S General] joeminati:
That a funny. I did a full wipe before and after the 1.5.2011 (latest) rom and the Facebook sync does not sync the pictures from Facebook. And if so, whenever expanded....the pics look pixelated.

Any advice ?
