Downloading today's nightly right now. But I was wondering if anyone else with the NS4G has had issues with apps that are dependant on the GPS. At first I thought it was just Facebook. I would open the app and it would hang at loading then eventually the phone would be unresponsive. Eventually it requires a battery pull. Today I tried Endomondo for my run and again the phone acted the same way as when I used Facebook. Google Maps doesn't seem to act that way though. Any ideas, or is this happening to others?

Edit: using 1-10 nightly with speedy 3 kernel.

[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Is this occurring because GPS is off? I usually leave GPS and Network location on all the time so I wouldn't know if that were the issue.

FWIW I just turned off all the location services and Facebook loaded up just fine (same as if they were all on), but I'm already running the 1-11 build.
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
All location services are on. I leave them on all the time as well. This doesn't happen all the time, but it is only with GPS dependant apps. Foursquare as well.

Pete's kernel on his latest build feels pretty amazing
[Nexus S General] cheyne1:
This was happening to me as well and I figured out for me it was speed 3 kernel. I switched to Steve garons and everything works perfectly .
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
Thanks. I will try that. I remember seeing the link earlier. I was wondering if it could be kernel related. Crossing my fingers.

[Nexus S General] DominoDoug:
I'm getting some high Android OS usage currently with this ROM. Anyone else?
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
Been on Garons for most the night and haven't been able to reproduce the issues I had earlier on the Speedy Kernel. Missing my Voodoo colors, but not a deal breaker. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for a great kernel.

Hi guys, i have problem with contacts. I lost them all ( from People app) for a 2nd time in 2 days. I use the latest nightly. The only way to find them is from the call button and sift through contacts where it only shows contacts with phone numbers.
[Nexus S General] :
Latest nighty scores 1.3k on quadrant. I managed to get 4k on trinity kernel oc to 1.4ghz. Im curious if the 1.3k score runs intensive games well.
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
Don't bother with quadrant. It so outdated... I've never seen a game that the NS couldn't run.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
The Talk notification icon is different on Pete's rom, on stock it says "Talk" on it. Anyone noticed ?
[Nexus S General] renna1992:
is there any battery percentage or circle battery mod available?
[Nexus S General] marinierb:
I use this. It works great.

Another new build up. Pete's killing it these days. Must have boring classes...
[Nexus S General] SwollenMonkey:
Downloaded. So far so good. Not sure if just tweaks or any thing different. Will report if find ewt
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
The new update is to fix some battery drain.
[Nexus S General] marinierb:
Any specifics? ie. The auto-rotate bug? The high Android OS usage?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
also if we're on your kernel?
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
Bluetooth related. I dunno the specifics.

Would seem that if you where using my kernel you'd get better battery life as well. Only if you use bluetooth tho.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Smooth update again. As always :D
[Nexus S General] :
is anyone having problems enabling auto-rotate after having disabled it once?
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
github (12/01):

Fix MMS receiving on T-Mobile

maguro: Enable automatic backlight by default

Disable ability for bluetooth module to remain hot

Revert "Battery life > Hot Bluetooth module"

and some smaller optimization

pete' boring his classes, definitely ;)
[Nexus S General] veagles:
No issues with auto rotate here

Does this ROM have init.d support?

Scripts in init.d don't seem to work.
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
No it doesn't. I don't think busybox is installed.
[Nexus S General] petrochemicals:
1/13 is out. It looks to be about 9mb smaller. Not sure what was taken out.

[Nexus S General] veagles:
Installing busybox didn't help

How do I get init.d working?
[Nexus S General] :
Youre faster than his website lol
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
You have to modify the init.rc so it calls init.d at startup. I've a lot of ppl that requested that I add init.d to my kernel but I might just actually create a flashable zip that will do that seperately.
[Nexus S General] veagles:
That would be great! Waiting for you zip. :)

That apk was removed in 01-11..
[Nexus S General] marinierb:
Busybox version

Does this ROM have the latest version of BusyBox? The application Multi Mount SD-Card is complaining that I should update it if I want to get optimal performance.
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
Use the app "Busybox installer" to check

Check the Add-on section of my kernel thread. It has a init.d installer.

Yes, this ROM does not have busybox
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:

[Nexus S General] vansmack:
Don't bother. It will just get moved back here....

Been there, done that.

[13JAN][ROM][AOSP][ICS][INFO]Peter Alfonso's ICS nightlies. Fast, Stable and smooth!

Hi all just reposting the ROM :D. Just one of the best ICS builds I have ever used. Thought i'd share it with you!

All credit to Peter Alfonso. Visit his website : www.peteralfonso.com

Changelog(also in OP but on his site): http://download.peteralfonso.com/changelog

To the mods: Peter has no prob that I posted this thread :)

The rom is in the nightly stage but it has been the most stable ICS rom ever for me. Try it out ;)

What you get:

-Android 4.0.3 (IML74K)

-Rooted

-Galaxy Nexus boot animation

-Stock alike ROM

-Reboot menu

-Screenshot option

-Face Unlock

-Touch to focus (camera)

-Working Google wallet version included

-Deodexed

-Facebook contact sync :D

-Gapps built in

Latest nightly:

13-01-2012 build:

pete's ICS nightly 13-01-2012

Changelog:

13 JAN 2012

Added 180 degrees rotation, 4.0.3 G-apps and etcc (from his twitter)

Screenshots

see by attached thumbnails.

Instructions

-reboot into recovery

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache and dalvik cache

-go to mounts and storage and format /system

-format /boot, /data and cache

-install zip from SDcard>select zip and choose the build and flash. :)

Notes

-if you are switching between builds you only have to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

-if you want to flash a new kernel just wipe dalvik cache and flash the kernel.

-If you have any battery % mod for this rom, can you plz pm me that I can add it to the OP? (some users are asking for the mod, and as I im not a dev I cant make it :( :) )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

THE FOLLOWING IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH WIFI PROBLEMS

ONLY USE IT WHEN YOU CANT CONNECT TO WIFI

For people who cant connect to wifi networks because of their country code (so not US or EU), they can flash the attached zip to make wifi work.

It contains the 2.3.7 wifi driver and it works well with ICS. (just a temporary fix, we hope that google fixes this annoying bug in next OTA)

all credits to avostrik. (he made the zip)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tips

-install root explorer and navigate to: /system/lib/egl and delete the libGLES_android.so and reboot.

deleting that file made the UI much smoother for me.

Add-ons

[Nexus S General] kptnk:
yes i totally agree : very smooth and stable builds. in fact as close as possible of stock, but better, as it should be :).....here nothing useless, only huge performance and effectivness .
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
some questions. is the rom deodexed? and zipaligned?
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
That's what I use. Love it and its really stable.

I can see my kernel in the screenshot :cool:
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Yes I use it :P. nothing smoother than your kernel and latest build :D
[Nexus S General] suksit:
If it's compiled from AOSP then it's already deodexed and zipaligned.
[Nexus S General] kptnk:
yep that's true, but Peter seems to have tweaked a bit stock kernel on latest builds, and it works well too (just simple one without any mods though)
[Nexus S General] mustangboy88:
His thread @ rootzwiki has only 2000 views and 29 comments as I am posting this. Not a popular destination for information. But I agree, it will most likely get moved back. Good luck.

[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
I will keep the thread updated yes. as soon as he releases a new build.
[Nexus S General] asphantix:
maybe a stupid question but how is this different to the stock ota 4.0.3 expect from the features stated above? does it actually perform better or has it a better battery life or some stock bugs fixed?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Its android 4.0.3 build from stable branch. it performs A LOT and when I say a lot it is performs much much better than stock ota. battery life is awesome!! been using it for months now. (sinds he started the nightlies)

My ns is my work phone and i'm in sales so my phone must be super stable. Been on this rom with Eugene's kernel for 3 weeks and absolutely no issues. This rom definitely deserves more attention.

Is that link of Steve Garons kernel and which is better stable or experimental? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427352

Yes that is the link. :). You wont be disappointed about the ROM :D
[Nexus S General] jurica_m:
Which kernel do you recommend? Stable or experimental? Sorry about posts
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
always wondered about this nightly. Been a CM flasher since I started Android. Is it really that much better then some of the CM9 builds? Current build has been very stable, very quick with Steve.Garon kernel.
[Nexus S General] grifforama:
anyone know why I completely lost my google accounts, and the ability to add any, after flashing the latest nightly ????

F.weird.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
The stable build. :) the test kernels are also good. So its up 2 u to decidd
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Just try it. You wont be disappointed. :p
[Nexus S General] jurica_m:
One more question. I would like to have percentage in battery. Is there any thread about this or it's not possible?
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
I'm not experiencing this myself. I wiped cache and dalvik, then flashed the 1-13 nightly without a hitch.
[Nexus S General] vansmack:
That sucks.

We'll start with the obvious:

Did you wipe Cache Partition and Dalvik Cache prior to flashing the new ROM?

That's all I did and I still have my Google accounts.
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
gapps built in? That why its so large?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Gapps built in yes.

[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Actually, auto rotate was working fine for me just after flashing the ROM. Then I booted into CWM and flashed the latest matrix kernel on top of it. Now auto rotate isn't working.

Edit: After a reboot, auto rotate is working again. Strange.
[Nexus S General] tonyrojas2007:
Hey guys. When it says that google wallet now works in this build, does that mean for att versions as well? I tried to start it but it gave me the "wrong country, wrong phone" message.

Thanks :)
[Nexus S General] :
I was also on Matrix kernel. However, after restarting my phone, the problem went away. weird
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
hm wtf, cleared cache and dalvik cache, now i got stuck at google logo. ofcourse no nandroid, i was sure based on replys that the update is flawless
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
1st impressions very good indeed. Seems quick for ICS :D

Flashed icup kernel. Anybody want to tell me if this was a good move. Seems ok so far but I only started phone up about 3 minutes ago.

<<edit>>

Yeah yeah yeah. This rom got it going on :p Nice snappy feel to it. Think I'll be keeping this for a while. So far I haven't seen any aosp roms that aren't laggy and I've flashed a few. Stock builds seem to be best for now, or that's the way it seems to me anyway.
[Nexus S General] vansmack:
The update is flawless, but that doesn't mean that your download was flawless or any of the many other variables that could go wrong when flashing won't go wrong.

Sorry you're having trouble.

Let this be a lesson to the group - always do a backup!
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Yeah, lesson hard learned lol. I've checked md5 of the downloaded .zip with a m8 who did a full install, it was the same. So no idea now. Thank god for TB :]
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Just FYI there is a modified kernel already included in the build but feel free to flash what your heart desires.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Thanks for letting me know about that. Loving your rom man. Thanks.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
If I decided I wanted your own kernel back is the only way to reflash the rom or restore the nandroid I made before flashing this kernel, or is there a 3rd option?
[Nexus S General] SComp23:
Does Petes kernel support BLN/VooDoo?
[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
Not yet.
[Nexus S General] veagles:
No, Its stock kernel
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
I had to go back to GB because the battery life just is not that great for me. However I'm starting to think that maybe it's my battery that needs to be replaced because I've been on the stock GB ROM with Glados 1.12 and I'm already down to 73% after 3.5 hours. Maybe I will just order one on Amazon and see what happens.
[Nexus S General] syntax_gosong:
I hate AOSP standard UI, but I love Peter's ROM.

This is the most Bugless ICS ROM I ever use & I love this.

I've use this since the first time I used ICS ROM permanently.

Even though I've trying many ICS ROMs, I always come back

to this Bugless Beast. Because it's bugless & a beast.

I was wondering, Why there is no custom ROM based on

Pete's ROM?

[Nexus S General] styckx:
Easily the best ICS build yet.

Fast, responsive, not laggy, not a single force close and lord knows I've tried (all with a live wallpaper going). THIS feels like the ICS I've been expecting. Pete rules

Only hiccup, DON"T install Wallet.. You'll get endless dialogs saying it stopped working. But I have no use for it so uninstalling it wasn't exactly a painful thing. :D
[Nexus S General] beetlo:
So uhhh how do you get Google Search back if you disable it?
[Nexus S General] q711179:
Wallet

I cleared data in app manager to stop the persistent message.

Nope that didn't work, had to delete from TT.

Trouble signing into calender, when I put in user email and password it says account already exists but doesn't show my calender.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Ditto.. And calendar isn't under Sync settings.. Minor hiccup for me at least..
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Will be fixed by the time I mention these builds on my website. Thanks for being the guinea pigs! Without you guys I wouldn't notice this stuff.
[Nexus S General] ZeppeMan:
Just do the same like you did before, but instead re-enable it :)
[Nexus S General] q711179:
Couple more things Pete

Market is giving error that "Market has stopped" when I try to download.

Wallet not working either, tried flashing your wallet fix from before but still a no go.

I noticed calender not an option under manage synce, like it is just not there.

Hope all this helps, everything else looking good so far.

Looking forward to seeing this fixed, and I be buying you another beer.;)
[Nexus S General] kmartinez:
He is not called Bugless Pete for nothing... Havent had any fc's.... Really stable... My new daily driver....
[Nexus S General] styckx:
I would try clearing your market data.. I've been in and out and the market countless times downloading stuff since installing this.. Not a single issue with the market.
[Nexus S General] unomedmen1:
I don't know how Pete does it, but this is by far the BEST and most STABLE ICS ROM that I tested so far. Everything is working for me with no lag nor FC's anywhere. I have tried all the ICS ROMS on this site and NONE compare to how smooth this is. Pete, you are the man! A little Christmas present coming your way!

[Nexus S General] jurica_m:
One problem with this ROM and steve.g STABLE kernel. When listen music on headphones, when I am in Music app, song plays but plays with lag. When turn off the screen, song play perfect. Can anybody test playing a music trough Music app? I am going now to flash S.G experimental kernel. Will see then

EDIT: Same problem with experimental kernel. Btw, before flashing your ROM, was wipe data, cache and dalvik. I don't know where is the problem. Everything else functioning fine.

EDIT 2: Just flashed pete's kernel which link is up my post and now songs playing normal. So, problem by me is Steve.gorans kernel. With kernel whic comes with this ROM everything is fine. If someone have this problem, notice us. Regards

With steve kernel, Music lag only with ondemand governor. Hope that will fix that.
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
anyone know battery mod for pete rom?
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
my experience : voodoo and soundfx may conflict, just check out. a clean flash (rom and kernel) should recover.

for me, ur setup works lag-free.
[Nexus S General] jurica_m:
I flashed ROM with full wipe of data, cache and dalvik. After that, turned off the phone, going to recovery, wipe dalvik and flash steve kernel. Its clean install absolutelly. I dont know where is the problem but now flashed again steve garons kernel, open the Music app and lags as usually. Going to Nstools, for governor chose performance and now its fine
[Nexus S General] _yaz_:
u may have right. after tempering a lot, i found a cpu setting where music were lag free. however, i left this kernel as i don't feel it fit for me on my i9023 (see in steve's thread)
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
I searched but I couldn't find one.. :(
[Nexus S General] Apolyxon:
I really do not recommend using performance governor aside from benchmarking. What it does is set the CPU frequency to the highest level causing serious battery drain.

Hi all , good morning :p

Last night I flashed speedy-4 kernel and it is very very effiecient with battery life consumption.

For those with music lag problems. Don't use ondemand with sio they don't seem to play nice. Use ondemand/cfq or lazy/sio combo.

i think its not fair that u put recommendation kernel for this rom

its personal choice

ok ill remove it :)
