[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MrDrumngun:
I just got a new battery today. I'm hoping I have better battery life because I wasn't doing so great on clean wipe's with stock GB or bugless beast GB. I'm loving this ROM so far though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tyea:
I can confirm auto brightness works very well on the 1/13 and 1/15 releases--- especially in dark environments.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MrDrumngun:
I never use auto bright. I got a new battery yesterday and I still drain fast with a fair amount of usage. I think it's because I lose signal at times in a building.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tyea:
I'm using 1/22 release, and experienced a possible bug. The notification pull down screen went into an infinite loop at the top of the screen in the manner of shuddering up and down at about 60Hz. Depressing the power button stopped it. This has happened only once to me.

On a good note, Bluetooth connect and disconnect operations work well, compared to a lot of other roms I've tried.

Automatic brightness seems to fluctuate a little more frequently than previous builds, which is slightly annoying. Portrait to landscape rotation delay seems a little slower too, compared to previous builds.

Overall, I'm pleased as usual with the stability of PA's roms.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] njeske:
The thread for Pete's unmodded ROM is in the general section. But thanks for the info.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Hey all,

I have a new build which fixes a lot of bugs plus new mods but the server I upload them is currently down.

Does anybody know of another server I can upload?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
New build is up.

New add-ons, plus a whole lot of bug fixes.

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I love the new options in settings, but not a fan of the modified Maps.apk. The Navigation integration isn't as nice as the standard version. No biggie though, I just deleted it and installed Maps from the market.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] njeske:
Got it loaded up over v4 with wiping cache and dalvik. So far so good. Thanks for the update!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shadow Death:
I made the switch to this from oICS a few weeks ago. Sad to say there were no updates to it so its not quite as refined as these builds are. So far I've had good experiences with this build and the Matr1x kernels.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mlin:
I'm about to give this a go for the first run. I'll report back with my experience.

Edit: can you include the option to 'long press back button to kill apps' in the next version?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jrkeyboard:
I second this. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge to be able to help you do it... but would love to be able to just flash the notification toggles
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
The notification toggles and battery/status bar mods are modded into the systemui.apk and settings.apk. I took those two apks from Mandaman2k's version of the ROM and put them into a zip here-

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ukq22xiwit2p93d/pete_battery_settings-mod.zip

As always, make a backup and wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the zip.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onemadrssn:
Thank You both!

Thanks to mandaman2k for putting together the mods, and thanks to mattallica76 for putting it into it's own zip instead of a whole ROM. This is exactly what I wanted!!

I think it's a safe assumption that Pete won't touch systemui.apk and settings.apk until they are updated by google in the source, so I assume it will be alright to keep updating pete's nightlies on top of this without needing to reapply the mod zip. Am I correct in this?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
If you were to flash Pete's nightly on top of the mods, you will lose the mods. The mods will have to be flashed on top of the ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] belvedere:
Is there somewhere I need to enable the toggles? I've flashed this zip twice and the battery percent and clock options work but the toggles don't want to show up. Using Pete's 1-22-12 ROM.

edit: never mind, it works.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jrkeyboard:
Agreed! Thanks so much for both of your work!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Glad I was able to help, but the credit should go to mandaman2k and Pete. All I did was drop mandaman2k's modded apk's into a zip.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
The toggles are there when you press the settings button next to the date in the notification tray ..keeps the OEM look with extra function..genius
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Hey,

New build is up with some minor fixes and better stability.

Also added the flashable only mods to the OP, big thanks to mattallica76

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dtuachi:
Thanks for the hard work!

Flashable mods also have the v6 updates of your Rom?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fristuff:
which kernel does this rom come with? and anyone had a better experience with the battery life with other kernels?

also, kind of off topic, but where are people getting good radios to flash?

thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
The kernel that is currently included is pretty close to stock. Battery is great, but it lacks voodoo and over clock capabilities. In time Pete will actually build his own kernel as he does with all his builds, but for now you will need to flash a different kernel if you desire all the extra features.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Looks like Pete just posted a 1-30 build.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
I just added to the OP the link to download the latest 1-30-12 build with mods.

plus also v6 flashable-only mods

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jcrabapple:
Is anyone else missing the calendar app in this rom? I've flashed the last 3 versions and it's always missing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] matthewhorkey:
I have had the best battery life with Mart1x 15.5 cfs. i went for 8hr with usage to 14hr with usage. ill edit with screen shot later today
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Pete is posting another update today with the ICS 4.0.4 changes.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] matthewhorkey:
what does 4.0.4 add
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
if im correct it doesnt really add anything that we dont already have except a new radio and a new kernel but its actually for the ns4g .... the 4.0.3 that everyone has been using i dont think it was released for our device but the devs here got it running for us

if im wrong feel free to correct me
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] matthewhorkey:
thanks, maybe the official update will come out soon then?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zeeraf:
from what ive been reading on here and on androidcentral .... its ah possibility but with any software release , this one was leaked so the official my still be slightly different.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Kurupt1:
1-31nightly still 4.0.3. Super smooth though.

Will the flashable mods still be compatible?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] matthewhorkey:
thats kinda what i thought.

anyone know if the matr1x 15.5 kernel works with the new nightly. i flashed it but it didnt take, still running pete's kernel.... ill try again.

thanks in advanced

Edit: matr1x 15.5 is working.

forgot to shut off wifi and wipe delvik.

i feel like a noob!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Does the Mandaman2k_v6_flashable-mods work with the 4.0.4 build?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onemadrssn:
[I don't know]... so far so good.

Edit: I tested it using Petes 1-31-2012 nightly, which is still 4.0.3 as far as I understand. So the answer regarding 4.0.4 is: I don't know :-P/
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Yes everything should work fine.

I will update the full rom tonight

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tenny:
I just tried and lost the status bar... Pretty clean install but going to do a full wipe now to be sure.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Ok, let me know how it goes.

Thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Actually, as long as you wipe dalvik, turning of wifi isn't necessary.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Tenny:
Yup no status bar. No settings at all even!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] frankie51:
You should update this to the newest 4.04 rom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
He is, see quote above.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] matthewhorkey:
if I leave it on and flash it breaks my wifi. Shows it initializing buy says off. Its weird.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] eddy101918:
I dont know if im doing something wrong or if i have to falsh something else but the toggles on the status bar arent showing up... Can anybody help?:confused:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Touch the settings icon after pulling the notification bar down and the toggles will appear.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] eddy101918:
Hahaha ive been falshing back to EliteMod because i couldnt figure this out.. Thanks mattallica76

yeah, i talked to the dev and he said its something in the kernel that doesnt like the wifi being on. and my cache doesnt like to wpie all the time. my phone is messed up, my usb quite working too. so im just gonna blame the hardware and the radio. lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Hey all

Sorry for the late update I was having some trouble with my internet.

The full rom has been updated to petes last 01-31-12 build.

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] frankie51:
Is this the nightly or the rom. The nightly was 4.03 but the rom was 4.04
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
sorry bad use of words, it is the nightly
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] frankie51:
Would you be able to update your mods to work on the stock 4.04 rom he released?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
If I'm not mistaken if you flash only the mods it should work on the 4.0.4 leak.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] frankie51:
It didn't work I just flashed them ans now don't have a status bar.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
The reason is because the 4.0.4 Rom Pete posted in ODEXED which means not to custom themes or mods the Rom has to be DEODEXED for mods & themes that's why you lost status bar!;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
I updated the OP with the same v6 mods but they now include the T9 dialer.

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It looks like Pete has added some new settings options in the new 2-2-2012 nightly. These changes were likely made in the settings.apk, which means the flashable mods zip will overwrite Pets's new functionalities if we flash it to his current nightly.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] junkshow:
I get bad archive errors with this one. Tried the download a few times.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sookieball:
just a request, can you write up whats included in each V. of the flashable mods.

but DLing now and gonna give it a shot.

edit: just noticed what the OP says, rom WITH MODS INCLUDED> haha my bad.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onemadrssn:
What is the T9 dialer exactly? Is there a screenshot?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] frankie51:
Will the flashable mods work on any deodexed stock rom?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
...its a t9 dialer built into the dialer

It predicts who you're calling either by number or by name using numbers.. remember that?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
Its a smart dial pad where you can quickly get to a contact. Lets say you want to call a girl named Alice. You can dial 2 to get to the people who's names starts A. Etc

Hope that kind of helps. Lol

-Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Also, with the T9 dialer enabled, the dial pad will auto rotate into landscape (the standard dialer will not). This comes in handy for use in my car dock and desk dock.

Never Mind this, the project is not dead.

I've just had a rough week between school and work and this weekend being the super bowl, I hope this week I'll have more time, at least at nights to keep up with the mods and pete's new updates.

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Hey all

Sorry for the lack of updates on the rom and the mods the thing is I've talked with Pete the other day when he posted his build with the CM toggles.

I show'd him my mods and he did like better the toggles I have, so he asked me to do a more clean build of the mods, so that he can pull the changes to his ROM and for those toggles to become official.

So thats what I'm practically doing right now, updating the Toggles for the official rom.

Expect them soon.

Cheers,

P.D. I will still be trying new mods to add on my rom, but always trying to keep it looking the most stock possible.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
yeah I love how they are hidden.. keeps that stock look
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onemadrssn:
Is Pete also going to implement your clock and battery text mods?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
For the moment we are only working on the toggles.

Meanwhile for the battery text I will keep it on my rom, until he adds his own.

Cheers
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mandaman2k:
Hey all,

Sorry for being away for all this time I was working with PA to better integrate the toggles to his ROM and some other fixes.

He is about to release it any time, with all new surprises.

Once the build is out I'll continue my mods based on this new build.

Hope to see you all here.

[Atrix 4G General] Tattered:
I love the android market and all of the free apps, but a large problem with it is that some of the apps do not have a paid version that removes the ads on them.

What is a good ad blocker for the Motorola Atrix?
[Atrix 4G General] mobileweasel:
Adfree works well.
[Atrix 4G General] InverseSandwich:
A better, nicer looking, open source alternative is to use AdAway.

There is also a free version.
[Atrix 4G General] xcalout:
I find, that tweaking /system/etc/hosts file (like here: h**p://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ ) results in quite good ad blocking mechanism (some rom's already do that "out of the box"). You'll need root for that though.

cheers
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
All the suggestions in this thread are good, however make sure you download and install "Airpush Detector".

Sadly more and more App are sneaking in Airpush malware inside their apps and "Airpush Detector" does a solid job finding them.

Finally if you do find a "suspect App" having this malware, please put it in the Market comments that the App has it so we can cut down on this BS...
[Atrix 4G General] bunder9999:
tried it, it didn't do anything for game ads on my atrix. :(

i like the rest of the app though... i was able to uninstall a few of my other root apps in place of it.
[Atrix 4G General] mattbta:
Adfree here. Works well.
[Atrix 4G General] wingmanjd:
That's weird, because it worked for me in a bunch of my apps (Reckless Racing, Pandora, Google Reader, etc). I have a stupid question and I'll ask if you applied the four different types of blocks (Ads, Porn, Casino, Risky)?

[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
I've got a new A500 and I intend to root it soon, but I would like advice on whether to take the current update 7.014.1 being pushed before I go through the rooting process? It currently shows having 3.2 OS version.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Doesn't matter, the only way to root it is by flashing it which wipes it totally clean
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
My concern, being still in the middle of researching just how to root the A500, was whether the update would have a similar effect as, for example, the more major update from 3.0 to 3.2, which, as I understand it totally changes the procedure used to achieve root. But if it won't matter one way or the other, I might as well take the update in the interim. I keep hoping to see a more simple 'one-click' style of root made available before I tackle this task. So far I've found something like 3 different ways to root the tablet between this forum and another. But each is a rather involved process.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I downgraded, rooted, and then flashed the stock ROM without wiping. If going to any other rom, you might need to wipe.
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
Hi, and thank you VERY much for posting such a nice explanation, especially in addition to all the work you have done posting your thread rooting 3.2. I understand, and completely agree with your explanation, as well as your position on taking control of what we bought and paid for. I take even stronger offense with this tablet's bootloader being locked than I do on my phones. This is not a discounted phone with a service plan tied to a cell provider. It has WiFi, but " I " am the only one providing its data (it never leaves my home). There is no justification here that I am 'leasing' a provider's technology . It was a gift, so I can't speak to choosing the vendor. But I like your wheel lug analogy. :)

I've been reading the threads on rooting, and both my Android phones are rooted and ROMed, so I've been around the block a couple times from the rooting aspect. But thus far I have been rather confused as to which route to take with the tablet. I don't want to be limited to using terminal for su access, so I want to 'fully root' the tablet. My goal is to allow apps like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, and others I use on the phones, as well as having Clockworkmod Recovery, or similar recovery capable of working with nandroid backups. But for now I don't have plans to use a custom ROM. So having rooted stock 3.2 would suffice.

Although I do fully understand the need to research these kinds of things before jumping in, I also know that often times information evolves, and lengthy threads which were once considered current info end up not getting updated during that evolution. This can lead to wasted time reading information which can no longer actually be used . So in the spirit of pursuing the most current info, could you recommend which thread I can use to get the best results while rooting this 3.2.1 OS Tablet with the above goals in mind?
[Acer Iconia A500] rdnkchevy:
Used Timmydean's method, it is pretty easy as long as you follow his instructions with in the zip file he has made with all the tools you need inside of hat zip file. You root, install super user and busybox then download Acer recover installer and that will install cwm...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20654298&postcount=129

Good luck and thanks again timmydean for this method.
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
Thanks, that sounds like the way to go. I'll head over to the link you provided. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
I've got a couple of questions about the zip file at that post. I want to download that to my PC, and will be using ADB from there, right? I have the choice of doing so from either Windows XP SP3, or Windows 7 Home Premium. I read in older threads that many of the problems people had were only when they used XP, but were avoided by using Windows 7 (which was exactly opposite of what people experienced rooting the LG Ally), so it seems that in this case it is desirable to use Win7?

I presume I'll need to install a driver so the PC can 'see' the tablet. Is one provided in the tools, or do I need to download that somewhere?
[Acer Iconia A500] rdnkchevy:
I used windows 7. Yes the driver is in the zip file. I unzipped the file to a folder on my desktop and went from there.

In the zip there is a folder called usbpcdriver. Run the set up from within the fooder to get your driver... please read the instructions that say read me..
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
Thanks. I intend to read everything I can get my hands on before I actually start this. ;) I definitely don't want any trouble or, heaven forbid, to brick the tablet. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] rdnkchevy:
pretty easy i think... good luck and let us know when you get rooted
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
I'm not finding any actual instructions on the steps to take for this procedure. The readme file in version 3 zip file only talks about "changes" from whatever the original procedure was.

Where can I get the actual instructions for the entire procedure?

Edit: I just downloaded version 2 of the zip file. In that one there is an additional PDF called "Steps". It is a little more detailed, and says at step 20 that "you should now have 3.2 with a SU shell installed". Does the DotNetDetector step actually ROOT the device? That seems simple enough, but it still has no mention of things like installing ADB and the PC driver. I located the actual thread from which the single post was derived (the target of the URL above, where it is suggested I use TimmyDean's procedure). I am now looking through that entire thread to try to sort out where the instructions are.

AHA! Post 119 of that main thread says "Also the instructions and everything you need are in earlier posts.".

It appears this procedure needs an instruction manual written to consolidate all the gathered information. Having a link to only the download zip files isn't telling me the whole picture. I'll try gleaning the thread and see if I can put together all the steps needed from start to finish to make this work. Looks like ROOT ain't happening tonight.
