hey mwielgosz if you didn't know about the camcorder effects, i believe some files are missing in your build. They are called: LMprec_508.emd and PFFprec_600.emd. Also a folder called video with 6 more mp4's in it.

All these are located in /system/media
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Thank you for this information. You just saved me a bunch of time debugging this. Effects will be fixed by next release.

On another note, nstools is fixed and I'm working with the developer to merge my fixes into his github to allow any rom to include the tools in their build.

been using this since the latest release and im loving it , i was wondering .... on the NS side i see roms that allow facebook sync .... will we be lucky on this end ???
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] apache2:
I've been using this ROM for the last couple of days and it is the best ICS rom for the NS4G I have tried.

Using kernel included.

Battery life: ~15 hours

no FC's,

no MMS problems,

FAST! and smooth :)

GPS locks good and quick, just used GPS in-flight from Denver to Baltimore.

You are on to something with this one
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
Quick, smooth, and efficient rom...just like the old Savaged Zen days! Nice work.

Flashed this last night and there are no negatives to report thus far. I'm a little intrigued by the "Lag Free" governor, but am sticking with the tried and true interactive for the moment.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Definitely check out lag free governor. Dev preference for no-op active scheduler accompanies nicely with lag free.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
Hey Just asking everybody to give this thread 5 Stars!

Nobody is asking me to say this. I just think that it would be cooler to see this thread higher up in the NS4G Section - It deserves a good spot so that people will know about this awesome ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Braneless:
^^^ Yeah, this is definitely worthy of five stars. Crossbones is certainly a notch above all of the other cookie cutter aosp ics roms out there.

It's nice to have something that offers additional features rather than simply seeing the build name change after flashing a new rom. My personal favorites are this and sph33r's aosp. Sph33r is my fallback/goto rom since it's vanilla, but extremely smooth and stable.

I don't post much, but had to say "holy feces", this ROM is the best of all ICS ROM's I've flashed so far....my new daily driver....thanks alot, I appreciate your work!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Agreed. Top notch
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
I literally had my new favorite game open all day - Fieldrunners (it was on of those Google 10cent apps from a couple of weeks ago). Battery is still going strong.

I could only imagine how good battery life would be with a Fresh Battery that wasn't over a year old and has seen 1,000's of rechargings back in the "stock days" !

This Rom should be the Official OTA :-D

Finally, this is a daily runner for me and i'm happy. With the progress it has seen so far, I'm sure the minor "issues" can be fixed by his expertise.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Thanks for all the positive feedback. I know Mike appreciates it as well as I. He has fixed camcorder effects (thanks snandlal), facelock and NStools being baked in. Be looking for an update soon. As always please make us aware of anything else you all find.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone :-) especially how this should be the official OTA. That's a huge compliment!

Once I build and release 0.1.1 is released, all known issues should be fixed. I worked with the NSTools developer to allow his app to be built into any aosp ROM and he has merged my changes into his developer branch on github. Once the changes are confirmed working, he will probably release a new version on the market...but every new release of my rom will contain the latest version of NSTools.

So thanks again. I've been working hard to provide a great rom and will start supporting new devices soon. I need testers for the GSM Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus. I own a Evo4g, but the more testers the better.

You guys rock

Voodoo control from the market although once you change the settings they will revert upon reboot unless you purchase voodoo control plus which has been updated to work with our phones. The free version will work but its not made for this new base.

Sorry to be a noob, but the only app I see called "Voodoo Control" doesn't say anything about graphics/color... just sound.

That the right one? Or am I missing something?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Once testing is done for 0.1.1 you guys will get a release soon. Probably tomorrow if there are no huge issues :)

I tested on the androSensor app and it confirms that there is no barometer on our phone but I was switching batteries and I saw what looked like a barometer. Can confirm or tell me what that is? Thanks

My guess is they're service pins to short the device in some manner. Do us all a favor and take a paperclip and try the 3 possible combos to short it out and see if any of them acquire S-OFF :-p

Have you look at it on the back of your phone. It really looks like a barometer....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] itasoulas:
Hey,

Can someone suggest a descent app for moving apps/data/dalvik to sd-ext? I've been using s2e it did the job but there's an issue with ICS2 Final by jusada and I really like this rom.

I noticed that even apps moved to sd-ext, I could still use widgets which is cool, so any similar program for moving things to sd-ext and is compatible with CM7.2? I think apps2ext is not officialy supported by cyanogen so what's your proposal?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bayint Naung:
I suggest link2sd(search in market) it's free.

And you can move individual app/dex/lib etc to sd partition.(which can be ext[2|3|4] or fat).

It can clear all app caches, list system/user/SD card/link app/ sort with apk size,data....etc.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] itasoulas:
so if I press the move to sd for an individula app it sends it to sd or sd-ext cause I am using that and I think it moves them to sd. Maybe I wrong?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] das.dian24:
I am using link2SD and so far im not having any problems..and i think its better, and much easier to use than a2sdgui.. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bayint Naung:
You might want to read app description.

it can move to SD card in froyo way or linking individual app to sd partition.

s2e or other script link /data/app directory (just like your pc shortcut) to sd partition.

link2sd allows you to control which app to move.

I prefer this way since I don't want some apps on sd partition.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] itasoulas:
I've read instructions but couldn't understand that linking means moving the files to sd-ext. So if I want to place them in sd-ext I choose Link and not move to SD, correct? And would be the same as s2e, right?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
does links2sd works on stock rom and 4 GB EXT ?

11GB norm
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sdotmouse:
you need to "create link". thats all. move one at a time or batch move. then reboot.

Sent from a phone with an app.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Just for clarification:

"Create link" in Link2SD means "move app files, app libraries and app dexes (if any) to sd-ext and create a link in /data/app (or anywhere the app originally came from) to sd-ext."

Linking in Linux/Android is the same as making a shortcut in Windows.

[LG Nitro HD] alton987:
Is there any thing available for this phone yet? I went a a little to crazy with removing apps.
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
If you go to LG's website - the support section - and search for the phone, they have a mobile support tool that is supposed to be able to reflash the phone back to the stock image. For some reason I have not been able to download the app to test it out though??? Please let me know if you have had any luck with it.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
i tried the "lg software updater" a week ago,

it said "this model is not S/W update"

WTF!

no wonder no developers want to touch this phone, once you screwed, you screwed! there is no way of going back! unless lg wake up and put recovery rom on that software!
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
There is a software updater and a support tool. For what you need, the support tool is what you need. Search for LG p930 support tool and you should be able to.find it... If I can actually download it I will see if it works and let you know.
[LG Nitro HD] donharden2002:
I was trying to find info as well. My phone for some reason just went to a blank screen. Pull down works but no buttons. Tried hard rest and same thing. This is my 2nd nitro, 1st lost some settings in the display settings menu and now this. Might be time to just get the sgs2. I was trying to avoid the low res display but might be better with Samsung quality.
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
So the support tool is what we need to reimage the phone... Unluckily the support tool doesn't have our phone in it yet? Go figure... I emailed LG to see if they could tell me when they would have a recovery image for our phone. Hopefully they will have a suitable answer for us - I will keep everyone posted...
[LG Nitro HD] hashhash:
did u try the "volume down" and "power" button combo to see if it still goes to recovery or did u remove/format it aswell ?
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
Talked with LG support and there will be no recovery image coming from them per carrier request. The only way to get the phone re-imaged would be to ship it to their repair center in Fort Worth Tx... The agent did say that the phone would be updated to ice cream sandwich, just didn't have any dates that he could give me - understandable though annoying.

So we will just have to figure it out ourselves... I am probably going to see if I can re-create the recovery.img with a couple changes to the init.rc to see if I can get recovery to actually work.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
this is so stupid!

att rather give you another new phone if you brick it within 30 days instead of letting us fix it ourself??
[LG Nitro HD] gordec:
Since we have download mode now, I wonder if Odin will work like for the galaxy phones.
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
I was wondering about that too... The problem is who is the firs guinea pig who may have a bricked phone? Does anyone have friends at their local AT&T store to insure an easy replacement?
[LG Nitro HD] hashhash:
not sure about At&T but with Bell mobility, if your phone doesnt boot up after purchashing, you have 30 days from the time of the activation to get over the counter replacement. no delays.

[Nexus S General] 91franz:
google stopped the ota

i just wanted to have a confirm of what i 've read in a italian forum.. it seems that google decided to stop the ota because of an excessive usage of the cpu and a battery bug in the ics for nexus s.. is it real??
[Nexus S General] stevencpoynter:
Yes due to high CPU usage and battery drain. Hopefully the CPU usage is contributing to the poor app drawer performance. If not then hopefully it is on the list. The app drawer on my S is TERRIBLE compared to friend's Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus S General] 91franz:
Ok so probably they will release another ota i hope.. the battery goes down in 9 hours:(

Nice can look forward to me rom

Don't understand why they didn't notice in first place

They were probably under pressure to keep their promise to release a from within weeks of the GN release. Hell idk
[Nexus S General] stkiswr:
I have a ns4g and for those that received the ics update on the ns, Google will fix it. I'm sure within a week(s) because they are admitting fault and pulling it so more people aren't disappointed. I on the other hand have an extended battery and would gladly take that ics update lol
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
I dont think this is happening to everyone, I am using 4.0.3 and cpu usage is low and battery is great. Same with 2 friends that installed it. Maybe something related to specific networks or sinals.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Sad to see Google break because of a deadline.. There is no possible way anyone involved in the development and testing of ICS on the Nexus S line didn't notice the problems with it on this phone. This is something I'd expect out of Samsung.. It's ok though, thanks to devs my phone is finally stable enough..

So where is the official statement from Google that the OTA has stopped?
[Nexus S General] AGStumps8807:
There hasn't been one (EDIT: that I've seen). The updates are still live on Google's servers, so until there is official word or the update is pulled, there is no reason to assume the OTA is ending.

Very strange, 4.0.3 is much better for me than 2.3. What we can expect?

This is my battery usage today, it is quite nice, note that there is no drain during inactivity.

[Nexus S General] tmcquake:
I had significant battery drain caused by "Android OS" on the stock kernel, but now I have almost no battery drain when the screen is off after flashing Ezekeel's ICS kernel. Definitely agree that using a custom kernel is a must for better battery life on ICS.

[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
According to this quote from Google community manager Paul Wilcox, Google has just paused the OTA while they monitor feedback..

"If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn't currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback. The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it's available again in your region."

Strange but better

Good question. My wife's is showing 42mb for settings! Isn't that quite high? Although I must say that her battery SEEMS better. She normally has to charge it 2 to 3 times a day. She would lose around 40% battery life overnight in sleep mode. 12 hours so far on one charge. I will get a more detailed breakdown of her usage but it is definitely looking better so far.
