is there a way to change an app's permissions?
[Nexus S Android Development] alen1901:
With root explorer. In system/app longpress on app, permissions, and tick checkbox which you need.

[Nexus S Android Development] vroomr4:
thanks for the quick response. after all these years..i'm finally purchasing a copy..hah. :)

edit: ah wrong permissions. haha. I meant like controlling what the app has permissions to. ie contact info, sms, calling, internet access..etc
[Nexus S Android Development] alen1901:
Oh, i dont think you can change that... you would need to know how to build an app

This is probably the best rom that i've used that saves on the battery. Only few things that bug me is that I'd like to get rid of the top google search box and if possible to change the touch capacity search key to multitasking.

I hate holding the home key for 5 secs in order to use the multitask. Its pretty lame imo. Other than that, great work!
[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:
i believe thre is a flashable zip if you search the development forum for the search key but i think you lose the search key permanently like even in market app and stuff like that and to remove that search bar you should install apex launcher found on the forums
[Nexus S Android Development] rip_noob:
Check permission denied in play store.

Btw this is by far the fastest rom I have installed.
[Nexus S Android Development] colocynth:
+1

I hate that too. But I think it is not a multitask. It is to call recent apps.

I install the widget "MoreRecent" on my home screen to get the same result. :D

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

In other roms, users may hide the search bar. But the hiding is meaningless, since the space is not used, just left blank.

Is the apex launcher smart enought to use the space when remove the search bar?
[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:
Yes in apex launcher you can use that 5'th row on your homescreen but i believe you must install it as a system app

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

question....any idea why the rom starts to lag after a few days of usage? and any fix on the facebook sync bug (when you select sync with existing contacts it syncs all of your contacts from facebook)?
[Nexus S Android Development] colocynth:
thx for the info. may try the launcher later.

I haven't used the rom. so no idea for your quesiton.

Using CyberGR v9 :D

I flash roms therefore i am!
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
This is something I had never thought on. Now I'm trying the Airkernel and seems to work properly. Next I would try is the steve.garon kernel.

This rom is just awesome, and really smooth. I think that just a few of modifications would make it better. For exemple, the option to remove the google search bar in the home screen. Seeing google bar stuck in my screen is an arrow in the knee :D

Another feature that would be great is the "resize any widget" option.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
If someone uploads apex launcher apk I'll create a flashable zip as system app.
[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:
it is on the forums but it's still in beta .... it will be available for purchase once it's final
[Nexus S Android Development] LKNim:
There is two versions, one is beta.
[Nexus S Android Development] LKNim:
What you need is Apex launcher.

That's just launcher features.
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Thank you man, I'm going to try. I put it in system/app with rw-r-r, it's rebooting :)

Talking about the kernel, who developes the one in this rom? It's very smooth, but in my opinion need BLN also on missed calls and at least 1100Mhz OC to be perfect (for the usage I do).
[Nexus S Android Development] colocynth:
Is this working in any ICS rom? Iam using CyberGR's V9
[Nexus S Android Development] LKNim:
Yes, it works. I'm using CyberGR's V9 too;)
[Nexus S Android Development] dinos3:
Go to settings -> all apps and disable google search
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
So I'll lose the google functions. All i wanted is to remove only the "widget" of the google search bar. Apex launcher just worked for me, not that bad, but the option in tweaks would be great so to don't change laucher :D
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
Is the 1.3 a custom setting or default for that kernel?

found thanks

What carrier are you, will it work via ATT?

Where can i grab that because i tried installing my speedy 7 and my phone starting weezing like it was on its last leg, THANK GOD i took a BU before it swapped kerns.

thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:
you can find it on the forums i think someone posted a link on this very thread...1.3 is a custom option you can use via NS Tools i'm on Vodafone Romania but i doubt it's carrier based

does anyone know a way to close background apps that take up battery like for good withoug having to use programs like android booster to close apps? like on iphone where you hold down the only button, the running apps show up and you close then and they stay closed?
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
found it thanks, trying it now

Also has anyone gotten skype vid chat to work?

I tried skyping my buddy the other night (iphone user) and everytime i call him it hangs up on him and if he calls me it will work for like 5 seconds but we both see his camera view then it crashes.

any tips or another good multi platform vid chat (i like skype tho cause my sis in GA uses it).

thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Someone can post matr1x voltage for the oc?
[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:
I also agree!
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
tried mattrix kernel but now restoring my phone. phone would not boot, just kept flashing the google logo. Did i possibly do something wrong, i wiped the caches pre install
[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:
if you used dalvik wiper you did something wrong....i had same problem....you have ti flash pixel lite, pixel mod pack, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (no flashable zip) install matrix
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
just did wipes in clockwork.

So you have to install the packs before the kernel? Is this due to the BLN and such not being present?

Im not a BLN fan honestly so maybe this kernel is not for me.

thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it. :)

actually what do you mean no flashable zip? I just realized that the dalvich part is moved in this rom which is why i guess i was getting errors when wiping it.

Is there a special way to wipe cahces in this rom?

thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Herewith a copy of Apex that should flash as a system app, albeit from my office desk I'm a little restricted to how I could edit this zip.

Why you not build for nexus s 4g?:)
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:

thank god i can tether (but my service sucks ) and i have like 3 test connections off the network

so just side load this app and you can use it to wipe cache? thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] carlito00w:
up pls

any suggestion?
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
I'm afraid that you cannot fix it, it's developer field. Maybe I'm wrong
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
You can change in android policy.jar ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
Where in apex can you wipe the caches? Downloaded it and can not seem to locate it. Unless Im being selfish and the download was meant for someone else.

in which case aboooooooooooo :(

thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
You need to wipe cache in cwm
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
okay i did that earlier. I think i unintentionally hijacked your Apex launcher reply thinking it was for a discussion i was having with another guy about flashing the matrix kernel

It was an addon of the aosp+ rom (now codename). I found in my sd card and tought if it would work with this rom:D

Thank you for the try merlin699 ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Apologies - have just downloaded it and I can of course see the lib files in there. I'll have a check through this to see if any of the libs affect third party apps needing camera access with the rest of the 4.0.4 base. If all is cool its a candidate for inclusion.
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Would be great! :) Thank you man!
[Nexus S Android Development] gsrdemon:
After using this rom for 1 day, I rolled back to apex. Not sure how this is bench marked as no 1. It has lot of lag.

I wants to know if the sound of the rom is enough heavy to listen it with a big headset ???

I come to cybergr's rom but the new release had forgoten the sound of previous ones.

Any advice? Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:
hey wildestpixel any way to implement part of the samsung touchwiz ui into the rom like the slide right on name in contacts to call and slide left to send text and the gestures from the optimus ui turn to mute calls or snooze alarms or tap left or right to move writing cursor and change pics and songs?

Awesome rom, very fast compared to stock and miui ics. Thanks!

I do have one compain though, battery life is as bad as stock ics.
[Nexus S Android Development] rguz:
Indeed Fully Touched mod was a whole lot slower Pixel Rom experience for me. Did a full wipe and re-flashed Lite Touch with Air Kernel. 100/1000 cfq, on demand and my phone slept like a baby overnight without any wakelocks. Everything was just smoother, faster and I would certainly take it over the convenience the mod has to give. Thank you for this ROM!
[Nexus S Android Development] jhealy:
I can't download any apps due to an error. Any ideas?
[Nexus S Android Development] pikerumx:
this happen to me (in a few roms and pixel too ) and i do this to repair that :), frist go to app settings

1- clear data of the market

if that not work

2- downgrade the market app (then let the app update by self) are a option to do that in the apps settings.

--

a few times flash new gapps work but that problem is for a incompatibility data in the market (maybe the data in sd this i not know ) of other roms etc. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] tevil:
happened to me, i just had to let it sit for a while to complete updating itself then i was fine.

Put air kernel on last night and so far loving it.

[Nexus S Android Development] fratilitau:

anyone try installing brainmasters adfree and deepidle tweaks/fix on this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Yes, I've installed Adfree. Works great. I've not tried the other files.

By the way, if someone want to remove those AD, here's the file.
[Nexus S Android Development] Nexus.S:
i tried installing both at the same time and got stuck in a bootloop. luckily from past mistakes i learned to do a back up before installing anything..
[Nexus S Android Development] stuff:
I was running this rom for a dew days. I had air kernel and overclocked to like 1.4ghz. It would run great but battery was going too quickly. So I lowered to 1.1ghz. Then the phone froze and rebooted and would never boot back up (was stuck in a loop at the air-kernel bootanimation). Not sure wtf happened but it sucked lol
[Nexus S Android Development] gsrdemon:
thank you. i will try flashing the air kernel and apex launcher

Let me try lite. but lite is missing lot of tweaks which fully touched version was having. i will try lite with air kernel and report back.
[Nexus S Android Development] foxmolder1985:
Lite, reboot, mod touch (blue or white) is the way. Worked for me, it's really the fastest ICS ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] stuff:
I just reflashed this from scratch.

What kernel/CPU settings you guys using? (Like governor, cpu speed etc)
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Air Kernel 3.6, no-op scheduler, lazy governer at 110% oc min 100 Max 1100 screen off Max frequency enabled.

If i flashed from the store should i uninstall and do it from recovery instead for some reason?

[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
If you have wiped you won't get them back unless entering Market for the first time they should automatically download (if they were Market sourced).

You should make titanium backups and restore those.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
That would be the Kernel and governors, of which there are enough to choose from out there. Its not the Rom that's going to affect that.
[Nexus S Android Development] LionAR10:
My phone hasn't crashed in 24 hours on this ROM. Wow.
[Nexus S Android Development] deejaylobo:
Geez, tweaks are unnecessary. There are heaps of those around. Apply them yourself or flash a ROM that has them. As the OP stated, this ROM will be stock rooted. If this ROM is better on your phone than other so called "stock rooted", there's a reason for that. Thanks again for this. It's just what I needed!
[Nexus S Android Development] Emama:
This is not related to this rom, I find it every rom I tried

I thought this was because of custom rom before using this one.

The News and Weather ( the stock one) always FC when I want to see the weather chart.

I can only see the first time after flashing the rom. Even I don't touch it and leave it intact the next time after reboot it FC and cannot be fixed.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
I find the FC's in News & Weather to be connectivity related. Slightest glitch in 3G and bang. At home on wifi or in the office no problem. Moving on the tube or train and FC.
[Nexus S Android Development] deejaylobo:
Does anyone know if there is a way to apply the Facebook sync fix? Or of a flashable zip?

[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
I've just updated the original post (well second post in fact) with the stock insecure kernel and also a flashable zip cleanup routine so that should you wish to go back from SG, Trinity or Glados kernels to stock kernel you can do so whilst removing the excess laid down by those kernels - i.e. all of the extra modules and init.d scripts.
[Nexus S Android Development] deejaylobo:

Just wanted to say thanks for this ROM. Paired with SimpleKernel, I am at 3 days and counting without a single reboot. Excellent combo for sure.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dadi68:
Dear developer, one question

Is there any way to disable the transparency of the notification menu without flashing the mod pack?
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Within /Res/drawables.xml of SystemUI.apk the values of stock notifaction can be replaced.
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
Its a bind to create the java / smali to do it as there's no source for 4.0.4 in the public domain. Its possible in light touch to use evilisto's mod for IML74K but not the perfect solution.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dadi68:
So, after the rom flashing, I must change a value (transparency for example) in the xml from 1 to 0 ? :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] wildestpixel:
A little more than that. If I have time I'll make you a flash able zip.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dadi68:
