Hi, I would like to port this rom to my captivate. I know it involves more than just flashing a captivate ICS kernel. I haven't dealt with porting Nexus S roms before, could you please inform me on what I need to do, or where I should look for info? Much regards,

Mikel

I just backuped this rom (fully touched), before i flashed an other rom and now when i try to restore it i get md5 sum check error!! :-/

is there a way i can retrieve my data out of the backup and put it in another backup with a correct md5 sum or maybe change the md5 sum of the backup?

help would be apreciated! ;D
[Nexus S Android Development] ferdi7103:
+1...I'm also got this case...when i try to restore my nandroid backupm.got md5 sum error
[Nexus S Android Development] Nexus.S:
For the best battery life using fully touched and air kernel 3.6 what are the best settings using nstools I'm looking for very in depth settings to from each tab.

Also is there a way to turn off data when screen is off that also does help the battery a little.

My apologies for any server slowdown for mods due to me hosting the NS4G Simple Touch variant. That will shortly be fixed as I upload it elsewhere. Those CDMA users, bless their cotton socks are whacking my server.
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Went back to Lite Touch because of this issue. I don't know what's different with Slight Touch (they're both Android 4.0.4 anyway), but I need the screen off shortcut in my search button. I don't want to risk wearing out my power button too much. :D

Don't worry, I tried the Slight Touch and I had no problem whatsoever aside from what I encountered with my Screen Off app. Slight hiccup at the beginning with Android Market/Google Play update and downloading but after that, it's as fast as the Lite version, probably even faster!

Good job, Mr. Pixel.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
I hope to seed shortly ......
[Nexus S Android Development] 4I-I:
my backup didnt have a md5sum file... i used this code and fixed it:

"su

cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/pixel_rom(my backup name)/

md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

reboot recovery"

but after restoring the backup it bootlooped! ill try again later..
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
since last time i've tried this rom, i noticed it has been added one more ''touch''.. the slight one.

anyone in italy tested which one among the three versions fixes mms in the end?!

I've been super satisfied with this ROM, but lately Spotify keeps crashing back to home screen, with no error message.. This is bugging me immensely! Anyone's got a remedy? :cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] EdForce1:
I still have problems with Spotify crashing, wtf?
[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
Also which ICS rom would you recommend to try first for stability and battery life?

Choices:

1. CM9 4.0.3 ?

2. Pixel Rom 1.6 4.0.4 (heard many bugs fixes in .4 fixes). Where did he get 4.0.4 if no one else has it

3. Bugless Beast 4.0.3. Pete had stable roms on EVO so i know his work a bit.

Should i go with whatever kernel is in rom of flash trinity for best stability & battery life. Quite honestly coming from EVO i think any ROM will work for me. lol
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
I use Bugless Beast about two months,no bugs,no lag,no FC and good battery life too,the best rom for everyday use.I use with Matr1x 18 cfs kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
What your battery life on BB in hrs with moderate use and heavy use?

thank you btw
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
I'm a moderate user.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
That's what I like to see.
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
been getting alot of FC with slacker. any tips?
[Nexus S Android Development] xjerlzx:
This is fantastic. Moderate use with 3g passively on.

Lite. With 400-1000 ondemand noop @ matrix 18

battery life comparable with buglessbeast(used for 1month) but speed wise. Bugless is nowhere compared to the smoothness of this rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] xjerlzx:
Go for pixel lite. i used bb before not as smooth with similar battery life
[Nexus S Android Development] K_the_wanderer:
Hi Wildespixel,

Great ROM!

I've been using the fully touched version v1.60 of pixelrom and it is great for battery and stability.

But I have noticed some weird lag - it's on the dialer! When you use the t9 function to call up a contact it comes up with an error and then asks to wait or close the dialer. I just go back to the home screen and the try again after a couple of mins and it works fine...

Its the only bug/lag I'm experiencing... do you have any ideas on this?

Anyone else experience this?

Regards and keep up the good work!
[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
BB had double at 22hrs with 50% so that's half not comparable from what i can see. My aim is ~48hrs to full discharge so looks like BB might fit the bill.

How is CM battery life? I'm sure i'm going to try all of them at some point but need to pick a stable, long lasting one first, preferable with most features.
[Nexus S Android Development] xjerlzx:
My pixel had 3g on whole day. If i were to off it it would produce similar results. I will show u by tomorrow.

Cm battery as far as i know is worst compared to bb and pixel

Battery life on Fully Touched Mod

is pretty abysmal after a few days of trial. Lightly used (40min talk) a few emails/sms will barely give me 10hours of use. All animation turned off and Matr1x at default voltage.

Android OS consistently takes up between 30-40% battery life.

Already on On Demand, noop, 100-1000 MHz with deep idle working. SmartassV2 with Deep idle did not fared better.

BUT over night the phone retained most of its charge, similar to Gingerbread ROMs. Pretty impressive.

In use, battery was better than the 4.0.3 CM based ROMS I've tried (yet eking only out about an hour and a half more of use).

Will do a clean install to slight touch and see what happens.
[Nexus S Android Development] mosheva:
+1...

I also saw on your website a pic with governor option but I can't seem to find it...

and how do I go from blue to white?

and do you recomend on using a kernel with the rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
So, Matrx kernel is fast but drains battery faster than Air Kernel does with the same usage for me. Back to Air Kernel for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Hey Wildestpixel,

Which of your ROMS are you using? Lite, Slight, or Full? I know that your settings are air, 110%, 100-1100, Noop, and lazy. Is that still it?
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Slight Touch for me. Have actually changed max clock now for 880.
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Really, why the change? Is it still fast enough?
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Plenty :) 10chars
[Nexus S Android Development] Soldier Blue:
Light user here. I think this is good, but most ICS roms tend to have good battery life on idle which makes it hard for me to compare. But yeah, I could probably get two days on a charge easy. I lost 2% since taking the screenshot two minutes ago :\
[Nexus S Android Development] mosheva:
For the kernel I received an answer...

also I saw that the rom have BLN, Voodoo, Apex Launcher I cant seems to find them...

hi guys,

i know that for facebook sync to work, then picassa would suffer, is there a way to reverse that?

cos currently my picasa is not working, and i rather have that..

thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Thank you, but I can't clear the data, I can only "force close" the application of download.
[Nexus S Android Development] Rickythemaniac:
Well, the ROM worked great to a start, but after 2 weeks, the ROM started acting weird, 3G constantly dying and random reboots.

I've done a several full wipes but nothing helps so far, I'm going to change back to stock and see if I get the same problems there.

Anyways, thanks for a good ROM.

EDIT:

Does camera FC on every boot for anyone else?
[Nexus S Android Development] shubu000:
you sure?

i think you went to downloads and not download manager, it's the one just above downloads.

i'm looking at it now :)

i went to the wrong one myself last time
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
I was looking under the "D" of "download manager", instead in italian it's named "gestione download".

Thanks to an italian user that gave me the right suggestion. Now it works good.

[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Wait a minute...880? I am guessing you are using SetCPU then? Are all of your other settings still the same? Would you mind listing out your full config then?

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Hey harisn. Which Kernel are you using to get this battery life?

I never can get this kind of lbatter life unless I turn Background sync off and I am somewhat loathe to do that most of the time. I USE my phone a fair amount. But fortunately, I have chargers at home and at work.
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Sorry, I didn't understand :o
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Wait, are you trying to download files from your phone or from your PC?
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
I was under the assumption that you are trying to download files from your PC. If that were the case then I was going to suggest the torrent for this ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Which version were you using? Lite touch, Slight Touch, or Fully Touched? I am just trying to help keep track of which version of this ROM has the most issues and which doesn't.
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Thank you! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Hey,

You are right. I have mine set for your original stats but clocked down to 800 with the OC% at 100. And it runs just fine. I may have to up the clock for games but I don't know yet. I will test that on my train ride today.
[Nexus S Android Development] Rickythemaniac:
Fully Touched :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
I had issues with Fully Touched as well. Backup your apps with Titanium backup and switch to either lite touch or slightly touched. If you miss toggles in the status bar download powerful control from the play store. Lite touch is the most STABLE and longest battery life. Slight touch in my experience has battery life that isn't as good as lite but it is just as stable.
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Hey Wildestpixel,

Would I be correct in assuming that the modifications that make fully touched come from a 4.0.3 based kernel/ROM? Or that they are in some way connected to the 4.0.3 code base? I would love a few of these mods for myself but it seems that they are not really worth the effort/trouble. I am wondering if there are individual versions of these mods available so that we could pick and choose? Breaking down the mod package to its individual peices may tell us which part of the package is causing so much trouble. Also, it could potentially be a bad interaction between the mods and the kernel? I am just postulating various potential problem causes/solutions. I REALLY like this ROM and would like to see these issues ironed out.

Best,

Ballroom Dru
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Fully touched is 4.0.3 based mods as to get those mods working you need pure java rather than Smali or badly reversed classes so they are derived from BB and mandamans AOSP mods.

As there is no 4.0.4 source you have to contend with a bit of a cocktail for it to work but that said with the general tweaks for performance applied the overall result even with the 4.0.3 framework is very good. It holds its ground.
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Interesting. It just feels like when every anyone has problems with this ROM they are also running fully touched. I will don't know. I will do a backup and try fully touched again and see if it behaves or no for me. Maybe there is a conflict between a part of fully touched and one of the apps that people are using?
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
PS: Taking it down to 800mhz is proving worth it for the battery life. With no hit to performance.
[Nexus S Android Development] mosheva:
PLZ give me an answer...:

Looking for Kernel any advice?

also I saw that the rom have BLN, Voodoo, Apex Launcher I cant seems to find them...

Camera touch focus doesn't work for me...

Chrome browser is super slow...

Can I go from BLUE to WHITE without wipe?

(on Full touch)

Please help me...
[Nexus S Android Development] dinos3:
Apex only on slight touch , or download from google play

And camera focus dont work for me

Yes you cam go from blue to white without wipe

I recommend air kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469842
[Nexus S Android Development] mosheva:
and what about BLN, Voodoo and Chrome (slow operation)?
[Nexus S Android Development] dinos3:
I prefere opera mobile , dont using chrome .

And i dont use bln and voodoo ;) , using stock voodoo color of morfic kernel ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Soldier Blue:
It varies. Sometimes I don't touch it for days, other times I use it for hours (but for reading/music/navigation, not phone calls). My phone usage is light, and even though I have unlimited 3G data I'm mostly on wifi.

Like I said, its pretty hard for a light user to judge battery life now because ICS is good on idle in general and now Deep Idle works fine in most roms for me - which it did not with Gingerbread.

---

I also wondered why there would be any major performance difference between lightly touched and fully touched, since the mods didn't seem to have any core functionality but now I know - something to do with the Java VM?
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Air kernel 3.6 blue 65fps

Noop scheduler

Deep idle on

Max frequency with screen off ON

110% OC value

100 min 1100 max

Great speed and good battery.

Cut the max to 800 for better battery life with a very minimal hit to performance.
[Nexus S Android Development] ballroom dru:
Ok, so my fully touched test was going very well today. That is until I shut down, switched to a fully charged battery, and did some playing in NS tools. Two random reboots later my phone settles down, but now all my widgets are gone AND swiftkey keyboard got reset somehow.??????

Hey all...

Long time reader of this thread, first time flasher of Pixel Rom 1.6

I love it. Coming from nuhetri-reloaded 2.3.0, and was happy with performance, but envious of the reviews I have been reading here. I am a convert.

Runs smooth, no fc's and no problems at all. Still judging battery life but I am sure it will be fine. Also appreciated all the good comments regarding kernel. Air Kernel v3.60 runs soooo smooth.

Great bunch of knowledgeable guys in this thread and I tip my hat to Wildestpixel for an awsome ROM.

WOW! Search Touch! Sounds awesome. I'm gonna try it out later. How is it, WP? Still as zoom-zoom as the Lite version? ;)

Do you think the problem with the restart due to the Screen Off app is now fixed?
[Nexus S Android Development] mosheva:
Hi...

I flashed the KERNEL but I can't seems to find the Kernel option in the setting tab...

Download NSTools (Free) or SetCPU (Paid) from the Google Play store. You can change the kernel settings there.
[Nexus S Android Development] ferdi7103:
I just want to inform, that this is great rom,combine with Air Kernel

Just patch V6 Supercharger on Pixel 1.6 Fullytouch, work great and smooth, like butterfly...feeling fly...

This script is very recommended..

Maybe the developer can include on next rom release

Cheers
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
What does your v6 code look like (init.D's) ?
[Nexus S Android Development] ferdi7103:
I just Mod your services.jar instantly with the ICS OOM Priority Charger WebApp,as state on zeppelinrox thread.( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16635544#post16635544 )

Just go to http://android.mimic.ca with your devices browser and follow instructions.

Then I'm receive patch that compatible for your Pixie rom, flash it with Recovery in CWM, continue install scrip manager, and apply V6 Supercharger RC 7, and follow what the scrip running inside

Then I check witch Antutu benchmark,..it significant increase score, before apply V6, score 2677 , after score reach 3340.. its very nice, and smooth

Here is i attach the file.

Check the OP.
[Nexus S Android Development] WarByte:
First to grab it! Thanks! I've been happy as hell with 1.00 also with elderberry as I prefer the odexed releases :) besides the kernel and its changes, would I be missing anything by keeping my current setup? (already read the changes just confirming if there is anything I missed).
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Not too much, compression on a few apks and odexes may be a little different. I would reflash this over the top of what you have.

Thanks very much for this! Lovely and smooth stock ROM with just the right amount of mods, please don't add more! Only thing I don't like is the battery mod, any way to change it? Thanks very much.

EDIT: Don't ever get rid of long press back to kill app! Lol.

Spat out from my Nexus S!
[Nexus S Android Development] Solarian:
I think the only type of modifications that I would be happy to see would be further performance enhancements to make it faster and smoother. More features is totally unnecessary (to me anyway) and just causes more problems.

Great ROM though, I love that it's odexed, everyone else seems to have such a hardon for deodexing roms for some reason, even though it makes things slower.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Sadly there is more to come ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] benrees21:
Odexed is the best. No need to mess around with this ROM too much. I'm all for more performance enhancements but not too many extra mods that clutter it. Thanks.

Spat out from my Nexus S!
[Nexus S Android Development] WarByte:
Well if you ask me (you aren't but I hope this sounds reasonable for everyone) whenever roms are released we hunt the more recent ones because they contain fixes, new things, revamped things and newer is most likely better... performance in many cases, at least personally I think it so, is more related to the kernel and roms themselves offer performance hits or bumps which can be negligible at times specially when based on stock. My point is, there is absolutely nothing I would change from 1.00. It is odexed, outstanding and flawless. People wanting a solid base can stay on 1.00 and be happy with it, or tweak it like I prefer to do. People wanting a solid base plus a few more useful tweaks built in can go on and experiment with newer releases which are most appreciated and always welcome. People wanting some more customization can stay tuned for future releases.

I have myself tested the new release and though I am back on 1.00 I found no issues at all. So what we have here is an solid 4.0.3 rom with different mods for people wanting different things. Newer here is not always better, just different and rock solid like previous releases. Good job!
[Nexus S Android Development] XxSilent22xX:
