I'll probably flash this once that custom Kernel surfaces. I'm excited for the progress of this ROM as it seems very favorable as opposed to oics and Peter's own builds. Congrats to the OP and the dev for a great new toy for my phone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ditto that! And this ROM is GREAT!

everything is working great. Super smooth rom: D. Only thing not working (not a big deal at all) is face unlock but other than that is so good. Thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ZiggSVO:
I don't know if face unlock will ever work for our phones as the front facing camera isnt "good" enough to actually use that feature.

I believe it was pulled from our version wasnt it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dpeeps74:
After reading about face unlock it seems pretty gimmicky regardless of phone. I saw the option there in the cm9 alpha but didn't bother with it. Slide to unlock is all I need.

Anyone got a GSM Nexus that would be willing to test a GSM version of this ROM on?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xdominic:
what kind of quadrant scores are you guys getting with this ROM?

I've tried it with the stock kernel, MathKid's and GladOS Kernels and consistently scored 900 - 1500 range.

Using Brainmaster's MIUI ROM with the same processor settings, i get upwards of 5000.

I know that quadrant scores should be taken with a large grain of salt, but the OS response seems to match up with the low quadrant scores. . . everything feels a little bit . . . slow?

Wondering if this is a configuration problem on my end, or if these are the same kind of quadrant scores that others are getting?

... sorry jta462, only 4G here, otherwise I would be happy to test.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rjones9902:
was using aosp's latest ics rom and as fine as that is, i find this to be a bit snappier for me. the only thing that i'm having trouble with is i've tried to add glados' kernel 2.1 and 2.3 versions and keep getting reboots on them. is there any custom kernel that will work with this? i kind of miss voodoo control and bln notifcations.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] scott420:
2.1 or 2.3 should work I'm using 2.3..2.2 should even work I had no reboots with them...did u wipe dalvic..of course u did :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] scott420:
Trying to fix permissions in from manager this is what I get
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Hmm. Im Currently running Glados 2.3. 200/1200 interactive. I use twrp for recovery and you might try manually installing. In your current state I'd recommend reflashing ROM, gapps. Boot system. Then boot into recovery wipe cache, dalvik, flash kernel. As long is its a 4.0.3 kernel it should work. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about Rom manager permissions as I use twrp.

Edit - fix permissions work on twrp
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rjones9902:
thanks for the replies gentlemen, but i did wipe davlik cache and i even wiped the cache partition as well just to make sure. and tried this multiple times but to no avail. hell, i even tried to go with matr1x latest ics 4.0.3 kernel and got rebooted.

the one thing i will say is that i'm getting pretty good battery life with the included kernel, so i will stick to that for now.

thanks again, gents, for your replies. this build is my daily and it just purely rocks!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] method2madness:
This is by far the best iteration of NS4G ICS yet. Thanks a million to the OP and especially the Developer. Great job! :)

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] method2madness:
I'm running glados and it seems to be doing just fine. I haven't read the entire thread yet, but is there supposed to be issues with this build and custom kernels?

I flashed this from last night and so far I'm loving it.

However knew issue I'm having is that I can't buy anything from the market.

Whenever I try, I get the message that an error has occurred and to try again later. However, I can download free apps just fine.

I also went into settings>applications>market... and wiped data and cache and force stopped the market app and I still have the issue.

Do anyone know of a fix?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
You are correct. Currently working on this, face lock, and camcorder effects FCing.

Update

Bad News: for 0.0.3

I've spent all night playing with Facelock trying to get it working on our devices.

Issue is, as it seems, is that all of the intent calls in the source code refer to intents that don't exist in the FaceLock.apk AndroidManifest.xml.

I've tried to get the existing version working with the ROM. Without downloading 4.0.1 (or possibly 4.0.2) source code and completely backporting the methods used in those android versions to invoke FaceLock properly, I'm currently only able to do a few things with the app:

* Set it up to recognize my face

* Run the tutorial.

* "Face Unlock" will appear in the "Screen Lock" menu setting.

* Upon locking and unlocking the phone, a black box appears where the camera should load and a message saying "Face Unlock couldn't start is displayed.

* Android reverts to unlock by PIN or Pattern depending on what you chose during setup

There are two options from this point on:

* Attempt to backport the correct intents and methods used to invoke FaceLock from an older ICS revision.

* Wait until Google fixes the FaceLock app so the manifest matches the hardcoded intents in Settings and framework in android 4.0.3.

I spent a long time debugging this tonight and as much as I'd like to see this feature working, it's probably a smarter idea to wait for Google to release an update for the FaceLock app itself. (If they coded their ROM this way, there must be changes coming to the FaceLock app which will fix these force closes once an update is released).

Although....I might poke around and see how much work would need to be done so we can have it working in the meantime.

Good News for 0.0.3: (so far)

* Will have market purchases working

* Downloads through the browser will work while connected to WiMAX

Merry Christmas

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Thanks for your hard work much appreciated just forget face unlock we don't really need it are front camera isn't as good as the gnex that's why Google didn't put it in the ota for the nexus s all the other stuff is more important IMO!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] apacho01:
I agree. Face unlock is cool but let Google fix it. Would much rather have other things working like the market. I've been running your rom several days now and it's one of the best I've tried so far.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] brokentoaster24:
If anyone really wants face unlock, go check the gsm nexus boards. There's a thread with a zip file that works flawlessly. I personally tired it with this ROM
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Thank you for this. I am going to add this FaceLock into the new gapps I am releasing as the AndroidManifest.xml contains the correct intents for android 4.0.3
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] brokentoaster24:
No problem. Tried it a couple times and it really works! Pretty neat. I suggest anyone wanting face unlock that they also use the improve face unlock in the menu after they set everything up, really helps
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sceptor:
Few things I've noticed -

First - after installing gapps I still had to go to market and get google maps. Also navigation isnt installed as an app but i can access it via google maps. The odd thing is it says it cant sign in or is having a registration issue after I installed mapps from the market.

Second - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20701722&posted=1#post20701722 Im having that green/yellow flash with Glados kernal but it seems people are having that with multiple roms.

Third - I guess theres just compatibility issues with alot of apps still because its ICS which is why theres all the force closes etc right?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
First: Maps is not included with gapps which is why you need to download from market. This is how Google set it up.

Second: The green flash is present in all kernels with Voodoo. If you use Voodoo Control app, you can fix this by changing the "Screen v1 gamma hack" to 2.3.3 defaults.

Third: it depends on the app. Personally, I have not experienced any FC with any app I use. Also, I would recommend not transferring apps with Titanium Backup from a GB ROM. New Android version = fresh start with app data
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sceptor:
Thanks for the reply. I used mybackup pro but installed only the apks. Didn't restore any data.

My biggest issue with this rom (and seemingly a lot of ics) is how nany of them are made without the shortcuts available on the drop down menu like wifi or 4g. Going all the way into settings doesn't make sense and is massively inefficient .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sceptor:
Also when I download the Google apps that's the only way to have navigation BC the navigation app doesn't appear on its own when it used to in gingerbread?

I'm using glados kernel waiting for one specific for this rom to come out and have it set to 100 to1400 but my advanced quadrant is showing up in the 1600s which doesn't make sense
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Bradart:
What's the ETA on an update? Can you fix facebook sync? For some reason Voxer isn't acting quite right. When will you have it fixed? Why is the UI so weird? Would you please include the old version of the market? Why don't you have a logo?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Lmao. Bravo sir. Bravo.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Recommended to NOT restore. Including gapps. I'd suggest full complete wipe. Flash from and gapps. And just install apps from market. Maps should add the nav app when it installs.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sceptor:
Ya switch pro works now. Everything else seems good. Thanks for the help. Look forward to updates.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sceptor:
Since im bringing so much humor to this thread (which i dont regret because the answers were helpful either way).

Roms running great, battery life is going to be more dependent on kernel then anything else but would it be possible to get the reboot option to come up when holding down power and also there was a really cool feature with MUIU where if you had the lock screen enabled you could hold the home screen button and it would activate the LED as a flashlight. Pretty nice to have on tap. Similar concept would also be cool for a short cut to the camera.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
This is a absolute BEAST! DO NOT flash a custom kernel over the top of this. It's way fast without it. To answer the above question, BLN, BLD, BLX, no Live OC, no DeepIdle, but trust me this is rrrrreal nice without those. Must try.

Crossbones Kernel Information:

Current version: 0.1.0

Kernel is included in ROM and not available or supported as a flashable zip.

The kernel that's included in the Crossbones is a customized kernel based on Google's latest source (Linux 3.0.8). The idea behind this kernel is to provide a kernel that improves performance and the user experience but keep the stability of the stock kernel.

This kernel has been tested by all members of the team for over 48 hours and everyone has had the same result: nothing but excellent performance. This kernel is not even overclockable (yet) and honestly, doesn't feel like overclocking is needed. Every new feature added to the kernel is tested by all team members to ensure it does not affect stability and only improves the kernel. Our goal with this ROM and kernel is to have better performance and keep the stability of the stock ROM and kernel. Overclocking and undervolting will be added to the kernel eventually so if you're looking to overclock the kernel, flash a kernel that lets you overclock. However, we recommend trying our ROM with our kernel for a day and you'll see how good it is, guaranteed.

Kernel Information:

* Google's/Samsung latest base (3.0.8)

* BFQ I/O Scheduler (Set as default)

* SLQB slab allocator (Set as default)

* LagFree CPU Governor (Set as default and our favorite)

* BLN

* BLX

* BLD

* Voodoo

* CFS Autogroup scheduling enabled

* Other minor things I forgot I as wrote this (I'll try to take notes)

ToDo for next release(s):

* Add smartass V2 governor

* Allow Overclocking

* Undervolt kernel

* Expose voltage table to sysfs to change voltage on the fly

* Update Linux Mainstream

* Other secret stuff we're investigating

Credits:

* Google and Samsung for a great base and device

* Ezeekeel for all his awesome contributions and tweaks used in this kernel

* Paolo Valente and Fabio Checconi for BFQ

* Nick Piggin for SLQB

* supercurio for voodoo

* All the other devs that contribute into this great open source community. If I missed anyone and you feel you deserve credit please let me know

Other:

During our testing, some of us preferred using no-op as the default I/O scheduler while other chose BFQ. We suggest you test and be the judge

Anyone asking these questions should make a nand, wipe, and flash our ROM. If you don't care for it for some reason, restore your nand :)

Easiest way to find out how any two ROMs compare to each other, especially since everybody looks for different things when choosing a ROM.

ICS is new to everyone, so go crazy flashing! Find a ROM you truly love and stick with it!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] petrochemicals:
The camcorder still fc's when choosing effects. Not sure if I am missing it, but do not see NSTools anywhere. There is still a green flash with voodoo colors being on anything below 0 in Screen v1 gamma hack. Screen still has slight flicker when turning off unless window animation scale is set below 1.0.

Google wallet is in the market, and does verify. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
NSTools is built from the nstools github when building a crespo or crespo4g rom. It should appear in the app drawer even without gapps. I'll look into this to be sure...although i did not have this issue, jta said he had a similar problem so I will investigate for next release.

As for the camcorder effects, I have not looked into what is causing the FC. That is another issue slated for fixing in the next release.

The screen flashing green is an issue with the voodoo code, which I did not write. Once a fix is available, the fix will be merged into our code base. Another workaround is to set "Screen v1 gamma hack" to Stock 2.3.3 defaults.

This ROM is now in beta phase. You will see more bug fixes and features added in upcoming releases. I bumped to beta because we considered the ROM and kernel base to be stable enough to come out of alpha. That does not mean that some issues remain or that new ones may pop up. We're not near a stable release...but progress is being made. The beta stage will be the longest stage of this ROMs development to ensure we are as bug free as possible.

Good catch. I tried a few things to get it to install but have the same results.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
I found the issue with NSTools. A fix will be implemented in 0.1.1

Looking into the other missing apps issue. Tags does not want to install, there "no content provider for permission revoke" according to logcat. I'm sure I'll have a fix for this soon as well. If there are any other apps that are not appearing that should be, please let me know and I will fix those as well.

The voodoo issue is the least priority bug as it has a workaround and is basically a small cosmetic defect.

What are people's thoughts on stability and performance?
