[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bdubs4200:
well shes running great, i had one random reboot last night, but i also had a crap ton of apps running... any chance of stop app via long press???? also, is there a place for accurate battery mods and center clock? mail center clock... its my favorite status bar tweak :):):):0
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
press and hold home then swipe the app window to clear. And there are a few mods In the themes/apps section.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] plmiller0905:
So will Fergie's Lunar Theme work for this version?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bdubs4200:
ok thank you... i love that swipe to the side feature! i thought i had to press and hold one by one :-/ ill go look for the center clock mod now then... thanks !!

EDIT I cant seem to find a center clock mod for crossbones... only oics... i fear there separate for a reason so im hesitant to flash it..

EDIT2Well the only thing specific to Xbones was lunar which is a theme that goes against everything i love in a theme lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Personally I'm 100% OK with no mods or theme. Love ICS in general. And Crossbones is one stable Beast the way it is.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bdubs4200:
I understand that and respect that 100%... but I like center clock lol it balances the status bar out. I'll see what I can find. Thank you for your hard work dude!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ryanguhr:
Smoothest ICS ROM for me so far. No complaints at all.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Just a friendly FYI for everyone (not just the user I quoted here):

CM has a lot of little tweaks to this and that, especially for the status bar. A lot of other ROMs kang their code and use it in their own ROMs. Personally, I do not care for just kanging code features...I feel it makes my ROM too much like the others. Eventually, there will be some tweaks, but they wont be from CM as I have my own things in mind.

So unless someone makes a mod for this ROM for the status bar, you will not see the clock in the center as an option in my ROM.

Thanks for understanding :)

No problem here just keep up the awesome work. Besides added stuff just means more can fail.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
It should as no major framework changes have happened. I would make a nand, then try flashing. If it doesnt work, restore back.

Please report back and let everyone know what you find :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
I'll add that fergie716 has only updated theme for 0.0.2 vs of this Rom. So definitely backup.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] infernosoft:
Coming from Pete's ics rom, this is way better. Keep up the good work!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
yes, Pete's ROMS are great for Gingerbread (IMO).

This ROM needs to be the example for all ICS Roms - a Daily Driver. I'm a heavy phone user - yeah, I'm sorta fat, but I also heavily use my phone. I find it alarming that this ICS Rom is more stable than Stock - seriously.

Ever since the first ICS Roms started showing up on Android Central and XDA, I always ended up going back to Gingerbread because I missed the speed. This ROM was the first time I could actually tolerate ICS, and then it ended up surpassing my expectations that i'd have for, say, even a Gingerbread ROM.

This one came out of the blue and knocked me on my rear - good thing :-D

Who wants a custom Crossbones boot animation? http://db.tt/yeOcxuEK

Use a file explorer and make sure its set for wrighting privileges. Move into system/media. Enjoy :)

Whoever chose this font is one bad mutha. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
Sweet, Lets do this!

I'm going to try this in a few.:)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Support Crossbones!

Hey all,

If you would like to show some support for Crossbones in your signature, heres a pic for you. Link as an image, not a sigpic so the alpha channel remains

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-...AAACPM/s9AJ9Al5Id4/s400/Crossbones-sigpic.png

Thank's for everyone's support so far. Expect more and more as time goes on :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
Did I do it right?

Just wondering what the difference is between a sig pic ( i know it means to upload the actual file) and linking to the file and what does it mean to keep the "Alpha channel remaining"? sorry. I just like to have a technical understanding.

I flashed the Boot animation on my phone - Looks great. I like how it keeps the Default Nexus Logo operable while adding the Crossbones logo. And yeah, the font is Bada$$

edit: It shows in the preview .. I inserted it as an image.

It does not show in my post yet. I wonder if it is awaiting moderation. Either way, I think I did it correctly.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Oh. Since I tried to click "Thanks" and this site says I'm limited to "8 Thanks per Day"

+1
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Just to clarify, if you upload the image as your "Signature Picture" the background will be white instead of alpha (clear). You want it alpha so it will look nice when blending in with the page :)

Do it however you'd like, I'm just trying to help you make your signature look clean!

Edit: You did do it correctly, it shows :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
thank you. I like having the technical understanding.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Bradart:
Just to be clear, I'm looking for my supplies right now to get the logo fully digitized and arrange the text around the logo so it can be a sigpic, Avatar, boot animation, and wallpaper. Sorry this logo project is taking me so long. I'm, evidently, very bad at handling being busy.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Please tell me if you ever figure how to handle being busy. Because I'd like to know how. Hahaha. No rush at all man. And that's awesome news for the logo. Sounds cool.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
I'm going to start writing a quick review tonight on this rom for my little blog. I was wondering if it's ok to use the same signature that is used in this thread in order to identify it and to have content in my review.

I could just link the image to this thread - or whichever you prefer

Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Bradart:
It's whatever you want, man. I personally don't mind however you decide to handle it. I'll probably care more when the logo isn't made from a sketch I took a photo of on my cell phone and sent to Mike :P
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sceptor:
Roms great man just wish it had the quick options in the pull down. Thanks for the home button tip to kill apps btw.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
thanks much!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jgreene1014:
Not sure if it is me only! (I read most previous pages and did not see) I have no problems downloading from market direct on my phone however when I order from my computer they do not sync or get sent to my phone.

BTW I have tried BB ICS, AOSP ICS, GUMMY ICS and this is one of my favorites!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zhiwlin:
hard button light up during notification...

Just installed. Works great. Noticed that during notification (such as email), the hardware buttons would light up and stay lit. The screen is still off though.

Is this a problem that can drain the battery?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
That's BLN (back light notification) and can be disabled through nstools.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ryanguhr:
Camera seems to not want to load... only bug so far.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Usually on the first go around you need to just close it instead of wait. From there you should be good.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Bradart:
It does it randomly for me. Usually, if I close it either in manage apps or the app switcher, it starts back up fine. It mainly happens when I start it from the lock screen.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jgreene1014:
Not sure if it is me only! (I read most previous pages and did not see an answer or the question) I have no problems downloading applications from market direct on my phone however when I order from my computer they do not sync or get sent to my phone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
I will look into this later on to see if I can reproduce. Is this an issue with other roms?

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jgreene1014:
I am trying to duplicate myself to determine if it is across ROMS or if it was to lake of formatting. BB ICS was working fine, I wiped completely (no formatting) and crossbones gave me the issue. I went back to BB ICS and the issue was still happening. I wiped and then formatted and all seems to be okay for the day so I am about to flash crossbones again. will keep you posted and I will format as well as do a complete wipe!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
I've had the Camera delay "wait" popup on Other roms. I think I had it when I first launched the camera on this ROM, but no more. It works fast now for me. Weird.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] nuformzdesign:
I've spent the last 3 days downloading and flashing every ICS rom I can find for the NS4G, playing around with them for a few hours, and then making a backup and trying something else.

I've found my daily driver with Crossbones, though. This is by far the slickest, speediest, most stable ICS rom I've tried.

The only issue I have seen is when I hit the power button to turn the screen off, it will occasionally flicker back on for a second or 2 by itself and then turn off again. Seems random, but either way it doesn't affect usage so I'm not too worried about it. :)

Great work and its very much appreciated.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Glad your liking Crossbones. OP has a link for some helpful voodoo settings.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zhiwlin:
FWIW, I just tested from my computer via market.android.com website, and it successfully syncs the app to my phone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] randyist:
oh, yeah Definitely works with Crossbones. MANY other Roms, will make the phone's Model invisible in the Phone selection dropdown on the market site.

One example would be my wife's Samsung Replenish with the "Green" ROM or whatever it's called. "Samsung Replenish" does not show up as a device on the market page.

Crossbones worked first shot. Dem bones don't get much better than this.

That made no sense, but I said it!

Nice and smooth like always. It's nice to have a built in kernel that's so good.

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Especially when that kernel was created by one of the Savaged-Zen kernel devs :D

I won't tell you who exactly made that kernel, but the Savaged-Zen team is still around and kicking. One of the other kernel developers released a Galaxy Nexus kernel which I am using in a release of Crossbones ROM for the GN. Of course, support will be limited as I can't debug a phone I don't own, but the point is that us Savaged-Zen guys are still pushing Android stuff out for everyone to play with :)

It's just too bad we are all busy as hell and use different devices these days.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zhiwlin:
need to wipe data for 0.1.2?

From 0.1.1 to 0.1.2, is there a need to wipe data, or only wipe dalvik cache is enough?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] first_adam2k:
Other then SMS and the boot animation is there anything else new?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
Shouldn't, just flash gapps again also. Me personally, I always recommend full wipe.

More awesome juice. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] first_adam2k:
Yep it is a bit smoother then the last rev thanks for an awesome Rom and this is just beta.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] frojoe6969:
Still having issues. Anything sent over 160 char and it has to break into 2 txts its all garble. I thought this was fixed thats why I started to use this rom. This was install as clean install right after root. I dont know if there is something i can do to fix it or if its still broke, Other than that everything is working great
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
You have to go into the MMS app settings and check "SMS Split" Checking "Split Counter" is optional but recommended.

This is how I originally wrote the code for CM 6. The feature is not enabled by default as some networks (AT&T for example) have no problem with long text messages. Sprint, for some reason, needs to have each text properly formatted before the message is sent, which is the purpose for this patch.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] frojoe6969:
It works great, ty for the tip and fast responce

** think i found a bug

immediately after flashing this rom some text messages wouldnt be received on my phone, i checked google voice on my laptop and saw that my friends were indeed texting me but my phone was only receiving a select few, im not sure if this is a stock messenger problem or what but i have full bars of 3g where i live and a 4g signal, after flashing back to gingerbread everything went back to normal
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Your text messages will come through even with your 3g/4G off unless you are texting over Google Voice. Sometimes that integration is squirrely.

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
I had an issue with this. It's google voice integration. Go to the google voice website and remove Sprint from your device, then redo the setup on GV on your phone. You know you did it right if your phone asks you to dial a weird number starting with *28

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Thanks for the video!

I actually just released a version for the GSM Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. Also, the next version of the Crossbones kernel will include overclocking as well, so that's good news as it definitely helps speed things up a bit.

Thanks again!

Hey, just flashed this and it looks good so far, but is there any way to increase the minimum brightness? I like using auto brightness but in this case its a little too dim for my eyes...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mwielgosz:
Cool!

Thank you for this! Im going to post this in a few places.

Right now you would have to stop using auto brightness. I do agree that at times it can be too dim. We'll see what we can do about raising those levels a bit.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] abramme824:
SG-NS-ICS-06-01-2012 kernel, i've tried the speedy ones, going to give matrix a try and glados

do you have the baked in kernel for this ROM all by itself to reflash if/when the others don't work as expected?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jta462:
It will perform as expected. This has been thoroughly tested by many users. Its specifically designed for the ROM and packaged in already. Again I'll recommend the kernel built in and run it for a day or two before flashing any other kernel if you desire. And I'll add to read through kernel OP and thread to be aware of known issues pertaining to a different kernel.

solid rom

This rom is solid! It might not have all the additional features that other roms have, but I've been running this rom since it came out and zero crashes ! One feature I would add is the ability to boot directly to the recovery or boot loader by holding down the power button.
