I used Wallet this morning to buy a Monster at the convenience store. Seems to work fine here.

@nate735 Did you flash straight from the previous nightly, and did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing?
[Nexus S General] tyea:
I'm using 1/22 release, and experienced a possible bug. The notification pull down screen went into an infinite loop at the top of the screen in the manner of shuddering up and down at about 60Hz. Depressing the power button stopped it. This has happened only once to me.

On a good note, Bluetooth connect and disconnect operations work well, compared to a lot of other roms I've tried.

Automatic brightness seems to fluctuate a little more frequently than previous builds, which is slightly annoying. Portrait to landscape rotation delay seems a little slower too, compared to previous builds.

Overall, I'm pleased as usual with the stability of PA's roms.
[Nexus S General] nate735:
I flashed coming from CM9 which Google Wallltet was working perfectly.

I did a complete wipe (wipe data/Format system/Format boot)

After researching this Secure Element error on Google Wallet. It looks like its a real serious issue. As far as i can tell im locked out of using Google Wallet on my phone till there is a fix.

I dont know why this happend but i had it working perefectly on CM9 yesterday and when i flashed Petes 1/22 rom i lost acess to google wallet. You can read about it here. http://rootzwiki.com/_/articles/secure-element-error-locking-users-out-of-google-wallet-r280

I have since reverted back to stock to see if it will fix the error and i still have the same issue.

Be very careful with this error there is no fix as of now !
[Nexus S General] tyea:
Wallet is working for me.
[Nexus S General] RobbStark:
I'm running the latest nightly (1-22-12) and haven't noticed any problems except for the Calendar app not working. I don't see it listed in the app drawer, and tapping on a pre-existing homescreen shortcut results in a "App isn't installed" pop-up alert. All other core Google apps, including the Market, are working fine.

Anyone else having this problem and/or know of any solutions or workarounds? I've considering flashing a GAPPS collection from another ROM but I don't know if that will cause other conflicts or problems. Is it possible to manually install or flash just the Calendar app?
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Is the Calendar.apk in the system/app directory? If so, make sure the permissions are set correctly and then reboot.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
for those who want a little more options than stock, and the stability and speed of pete's rom I highly recommend the gummynex rom!

I was also on pete's builds till that rom came :D

adios :)
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
yea i would love to try that rom too
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Its wooooorth the try :D using it sincs it came out :)
[Nexus S General] tycruickshank:
I'm getting an error in Google Wallet saying it's not supported in my country. I'm in the US and running latest nightly (1-22-12) with the latest yerbamate kernel. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? I've had this problem on every rom i've tried with Wallet and I always get the same message.

I am able to purchase on this from I did a complete flash and restored my apps from back up wiped both data cache and dalvik.... purchased neutron mp from market which my issue is having stability problems as an apps as I think it uses a lot of resources... anyone else used that for there music play?
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
I haven't tried it myself. I've always used WinAmp and Google Music.

As far as purchasing apps from the Market, I've never had issues with that until recently, it seems I can no longer use my carrier (Sprint) as a billing option. I can still purchase apps with a credit card though.

Edit: Option to use carrier billing is back again. Not sure what happened there.
[Nexus S General] Ludio:
I have the option to use sprint billing and credit... I am using the latest from but with Steve garons 1/14/12 dated stable release. I liked this combination for my device so far
[Nexus S General] DominoDoug:
Has anyone had issues with Exchange accounts on recent builds? It was working flawlessly at first but now is inoperable.
[Nexus S General] godsonbx:
its running well with my matr1x kernel
[Nexus S General] antrobi3:
Pete please include BLN in your kernel,is the only thing missing from your rom,i tried other kernels but it makes your rom laggy and instable.

Does anybody got "force close" o "random reboot"?

i got it with 1/22 version an "default" Pete kernel...
[Nexus S General] hubonst:
I've been using the simplekernel since I can't live without BLN either. I have been experiencing some very laggy performance on the last couple of releases with this kernel. Not sure if it's kernel or rom related. Hoping Pete will get his kernel going soon.
[Nexus S General] antrobi3:
Try Matr1x v15.0 cfs kernel with default settings,it's running great and has good battery life.
[Nexus S General] Deathbyfugu:
Has anyone gotten market purchases to work on the 1/22/12 version?
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Always coming back to Pete's ROM, it's just simple and does what I need it to do.

Running it with ICUP v7 atm.

[Nexus S General] Deathbyfugu:
What version of the Nexus S do you happen to own. Never works on the i9020a for me.
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Sprint NS4G.
[Nexus S General] sean1984:
I have i9020a and it works fine for me. I used to have same problem on previous builds because it was not an updated market version I think thats what pete said.

Have you done a full wipe and flashed latest nightly? My market used to send error message when it was preparing purchase but now works fine. :D
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
try eugene's speedy. a delicate combo, i must say. simple is stripped but not optimized as much as speedy.

i advise you to try this one

just installed this room awhile ago. my first android phone and my first rom.

so far i like, it feels light and very fast.

What do i need to do to make this rom even more faster and make the battery last longer>
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
flash custom kernel then to tweak more performance/power

u can try one of these: Eugene-ICUP, matrix
[Nexus S General] :
Using the latest nightly build with Eugene's Speedy-7 kernel and everything is working great so far! Is a wipe of cache and Dalvik cache followed by flashing the ROM sufficient when a new nightly build is released?
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
Yeap..its enough

That what Pete told in twitter
[Nexus S General] Deathbyfugu:
Thanks I'll do just that when I get a chance. I appreciate the recommendation but wish it wasn't the best course of action lol.
[Nexus S General] johnnski:
is it ok if I use SetCPu with this ROM?
[Nexus S General] sean1984:
yes its ok but you cannot overclock the current kernel included but you can change the governer and the io scheduler i believe. :D
[Nexus S General] kvaju:
This peter alphonso rom is great.
[Nexus S General] antrobi3:
I agree,the best rom so far.

Running great so far with speedy7. Got one dumb question though. How do you close the stock browser windows? I have 7 tabs and can't close any of them. It doesn't start in my home page, it just keeps adding tabs. And I can't get opera to work.

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus S General] nexusphone:
Steve Garon is using this rom. But any kernel which you want works well with pete's rom :)
[Nexus S General] Zorrich:
I second this choice.

Steve Garon's kernel works very nicely with Pete's ROM. I had to flash the stockvoltage file he includes because my phone could not handle the UV, but other than that his kernel has been great. An added bonus is his "cold colors" that look as punchy as voodoo colors, without the green flicker.

Just remember to install busybox should you decide to change the voltages back to stock through his flashable zip (it is not included by default in Pete's ROM).
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
He building a new Rom with the new leaked radio & Android 4.0.4 that's newest version the galaxy nexus is still at 4.0.2 or they got updated to 4.0.3 so the nexus S4G is going to have the latest version on ics!!:)

No data lock ups here. I did however lose auto-rotation on first boot after flashing the new build. It was corrected by a reboot and it hasn't happened since.

I'm on his odexed ics 4.0.4 Rom & its smooth I just changed the governor to ondemand & it looks like Google might of fixed the battery hungry OS bug because before it would be at the top next to screen on time now looks like its not using battery like crazy its near the bottom now
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Yes, I've noticed that the Ondemand and Conservative governors provide better performance than Interactive on all of Petes ICS builds so far.
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
Conservative governor has better performance? This is interesting
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
My theory is that it has to do with the fact that Petes current kernel has a hard coded minimum of 200 Mhz. In my experience on other devices, the Interactive gov does not play well when it can't drop down to 100 Mhz.
[Nexus S General] frankie51:
Does Pete's rom have t9 dialer?
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
No, but this one does and it's based off of Petes, and should be updated this evening to the latest build-

[Nexus S General] DominoDoug:
Is anyone having charging related issues with the latest ROM? I can't get my phone to acknowledge its plugged in.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Pete will probably have it working 100% and faster than Googles OTA by the time Googles OTA ever gets sent out.

Still.. Pete managed to knock out my single biggest gripe right out of the gate.. The laggy, sluggish, just barely hanging on for dear life and expect a FC any second feeling of instability the other builds had. A few bugs I can deal with, not having confidence in the stability is another. Thankfully I don't have to worry about that with this now. :cool:
[Nexus S General] koolkid09:
I had to go back to GB. Mine was still a little laggy, even though I didn't get any force closes. Any recommendations on fixing the lag. It seems it consistent on all ROMS on the NS AND NS4G.
[Nexus S General] Techno Droid:
i was following his tweets and was wondering where it was... then stumbled upon this. cant wait to flash this! i love his roms!!!
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
WO0T!!! just ran Titanium Backup and it installed the calendar version that was on aosp's build and my calendar works!! syncs with google and all... i ran a few test "events" just to see if it synced both ways and it does... the only downside is i have 2 calendars on my app drawer which i'm sure i can delete one of them if i knew how to lol...

really loving this build... VERY SMOOTH!!
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Nope.. I did this just like all previous ROMs.. Factory reset, wiped cache, wiped Dalvik, flashed..
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
btw, this thread title should be updated along with the first post to reflect the availability of this rom!!
[Nexus S General] Techno Droid:
use root explorer to delete it. go to system>app>calender long press and delete. remember to change r/w to r/o at the top before you delete... hope that helps.:rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
thanks but i'm not using root explorer... i just got my phone a few weeks ago and just started playing around with rooting/flashing/etc for the first time ever and i don't wanna pay for an app for fear of losing it right now lol...

but i think i can remove it with Titanium backup! i'll look into it after my texts get restored!
[Nexus S General] koolkid09:
Did the same... Oh well.
[Nexus S General] mandaman2k:
I installed matr1x kernel 12.5 CFS and it took away the lag, and the FC the camera mas giving me.

I'm gonna try GLaDOS 2.1 next to see if there is any difference.

Also I don't know if it is the rom or my screen, but the colors aren't that rich as in other roms.

By the way, all the wait was worth the while, I was only waiting for Pete's ICS, didn't care much about the OTA, BuglessBeast is much better than stock.
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Is anyone having issues with mms not downloading.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
all seems to be working good over here... managed to uninstall the necessary programs with titanium backup... really enjoying the smoothness of this rom!!

I really hope people stop mentioning this dark screen issue because I personally love how dark it is and I don't want someone to fix (break, in my case) this feature!
[Nexus S General] fleury14:
Been holding out for this instead of flashing a lesser version from someone else... Very impressive!

Dumb questions :

I've mistakenly taken screen shots but how do I do it on purpose?

How do I set up facial recognition? Or does that not work?

Thanks again for the hard work!
[Nexus S General] frankie51:
This rom will be perfect once mms is fixed!
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i'm inclined to agree with this!
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
Facial recognition is in the security settings. To take screenshots in ICS, simply hold down power button and vol- at the same time.

Where's the best place to follow this ROM? Is there a thread on Rootzwiki?

18-20 hours. 2.5 screen on time. I think those two statistics show a lot about the battery life

Some additional stats are 30 mins talk, a lot of texts(~100), and 15-20 mins of browser and 30 min google music.
