[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
It's already like that in landscape mode. It's not practical in portrait mode because you waste space. You want to maximize the space the list takes up, so that you can see more running apps at a time.

So the default behavior is better than the "webOS" style. And you won't ever see me downgrading my ROM :P
[Nexus S Android Development] gregorisvas:
Sorry if it's already answered..Is there any update on the t9 dialer.? The fc's are almost constant :(
[Nexus S Android Development] MaXAiRO:
I don't have any problems with T9 Dialer..

bigxie, eveytime I open the Music app, it asks me to give permission for "sj" and I always select No, thanks. This started happening only after I flashed your Apex v1.0.0 (and 1.0.2 now). Do you know what it is?

And something else, what about fixing the flashlight toggle on notification power widget?
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Bigger problems take longer to fix ;-)

Sj is permission to sync with Google Music. I don't know why it's named that, but it is the correct behavior.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaXAiRO:
Thanks, I understood. I asked you two pages back if you could include two tweaks from CM7 settings (vibrate on call answer and incoming call on background) and you answered that you wouldn't. Is it because you think they re not important or because it's difficult to implement them in the ROM?
[Nexus S Android Development] rokyrakoooon:
LITERALLY BEST ROM IN THE WORLD..BEST BATTERY ,BEST SPEED,NEVER ANY LAG,like OMG ive tested sooooo many roms and this is gonna be my stable buddy for a long long time..
[Nexus S Android Development] veagles:
Hi bigxie, this ROM is awesome.

Can you add this fix for media files showing up in gallery even when they have a ".nomedia" in the directory?

https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/31110/

It should be fine for Nexus S as it doesn't support MTP.
[Nexus S Android Development] apogiffa:
+1, same here
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
I'll watch this and wait for the universal fix. As I support the Galaxy Nexus as well, I don't want to apply the faulty patch.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Looks like the signal loss issue is still present. Switching to airplane mode and back did not fix it; only way is to reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaXAiRO:
bigxie, 2G/3G toggle on notification power widget doesn't seems to work. I have selected from settings 2G/2G+3G and when I click on it to change from 2G to 2G/3G nothing happens and stays 2G only. I managed to make it work only one time.. Is it a known bug?
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Yes, I am *still* looking into it. I will continue to release new versions with additional updates, as they are easier and less time consuming to integrate.

Please read through the OP to see the known bugs prior to submitting a report. Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
I'm getting a videos fc error, always at boot, and occasionally randomly.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaXAiRO:
If you have overclocked the CPU underclock it back to 1000MHz. I have the same problem whenever I overclock.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Phone is not overclocked.
[Nexus S Android Development] xontax:
Wow O_O

[Nexus S Android Development] MaXAiRO:
@moriz1 maybe you didn't flash gapps immediately after ROM update before reboot or you have to fix permissions.

@bigxie KalimochoAz managed to solve the flashlight problem in case you didn't see it.
[Nexus S Android Development] merlin699:
nearly didn't use it today, but I never had this before on any other rom. thanks a lot!!
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Heh, I fixed it by uninstalling the app and downloading the version on marketplace. Everything is good now.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
I've been getting an odd behavior with my Bluetooth speaker phone. Calls are still coming through the phone ear piece, instead of the speaker.
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
No problems here,using with Matr1x 16.0 CFS kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Could it be the dialer? I noticed that the output device in the phone menu effectively have no effect.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Nvm, it's the Bluetooth device that's acting up. Tried another device and it worked as it should.
[Nexus S Android Development] ukicar:
I have a problem ... phone is stuck in the boot animation. I must to take out the battery and back then I was able to re-start the phone. It happens always when starting the phone ... otherwise everything is ok. My setting is

Apex - v1.0.2

deep_idle = off

matrix_v16.0 cfs

deadline sched.

smartass v2

I did a clean install ... formatted all ... After the first boot I installed the kernel Matr1x 16.0 CFS.

... Does anyone know what's the problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] Darrien13:
Hopefully this is the from I've been searching for.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Got the signal loss issue again. It always happen when I enter an area with poor reception. It seems that occasionally, if the phone loses signal, it eventually loses it permanently until a reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] vetvito:
Stock kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Using matrix v16
[Nexus S Android Development] ukicar:
I wipe cache and dalvik and problem disappeared ... over 50 times reset the phone ... not stuck in the boot ... never.

In Italy with Vodafone there is problem with mms i can't send and recive it
[Nexus S Android Development] AskingBen:
I have a problem. Sometimes auto rotation doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? what can I do to solve it?
[Nexus S Android Development] AskingBen:
I had a custom carrier text but I don't want it anymore so I deleted the Text and hit OK. But now there is no text. How can I get my normal carrier text back?

I have notice that some time touch not work, usually when I try to unlock the telefone...anyone have this issue?
[Nexus S Android Development] apogiffa:
yes! although it happens once in two weeks or so. but so far i've had the problem with any other rom, gb and ics based.

apart from that, this rom has all i love in a good rom. it runs fast, stable and smooth with smartassv2 and the matr1x-kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] nastypc:
Thanks

Love this ROM! Tried many, I have to say you have all the goods that I like from the other ROM's all in one package.. Thank you.:D

Inverted Gapps

Hey can Inverted Gapps be used on this rom?

Edit: Nvrmd....flashed and they work just fine! Great rom Bigxie!!
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
I wondering if you could change the toggles style to the one from CyberGR|MOD that's more ICS style. Thank you for your work, good ROM with good battery life on Matr1x kernel.

Edit: Also what about an option to remove the Screenshot button from the power menu since Screenshot is a feature of ICS?
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
I noticed that pressing the menu key at the lock screen unlocked the phone. Is this correct behavior?
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
I think that it is correct behavior. But you should be able to select this feature from somewhere in the customizations menu but it isn't there. Although I belive that is a ROM feature.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
That seems counterintuitive. Why would anyone want this, since all it does is make it very easy to butt dial. The lock screen was implemented to avoid this very issue. I don't think this is correct behavior at all.
[Nexus S Android Development] slonn:
Why is the Apex launcher not built into this rom? It's not a big deal as I have a zipped file of the launcher to flash, but it just seems odd to me.
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
I have to ask the same and also how can I make the apex launcher settings to displayed under the Apex settings replacing the Trebuchet settings :P...
[Nexus S Android Development] MaXAiRO:
Apex ROM's developer, bigxie and Apex Launcher's developer, dennisxl are not related, they just use the same name each for their own purpose. So, there's no reason for bigxie to implement Apex Launcher in his ROM.

And you can't make Apex Launcher settings be displayed under the Apex settings because it depends on the launcher. Only Trebuchet Launcher settings are displayed on Settings app, Nova's and Apex's not.

About the toggles, the notification power widget is currently at a more advanced level since it has more "toggles" like lockscreen on/off, better sound/vibrate/silent mode swap, screen timeout etc. So, the toggles aren't in the same level yet.

dialer hangs

Been using this ROM for a week now and its definately the best ICS ROM experience i had so far along with Matr1x kernel. found only one bug and not sure if anyof you have faced this. some times the dialer hangs when trying to type a number after typing first digit. after waiting for a while (10-15 sec approx) the popup comes asking to wait or quit. if the dialer is opened after quit, it works perfectly. could not reproduce this bug consistently though it occurs frequently repeating it immediately after first occurance could not be determined.
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Very nice and speedy ROM.

Morfic's kernel makes it perfect.
[Nexus S Android Development] kikko088:
I get a lot of problem with touch when i have the screen locked (touch is dead)....whit older rom version no problem....what can i do?

Second little problem sometime the feedback vibration is to weak...with reboot is perfect...anyone has this problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Are u planning an update to 4.0.4 maybe? Will be great bigxie
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
We have to wait for Google to give the source of 4.0.4 and after that we will get an apex based on 4.0.4

That's because bigxie building from AOSP.
[Nexus S Android Development] Icecoldmeat:
Oh yeah forgot that, sorry.

Power Widgets

Hey Bigxie, have you abandoned this rom? Is it possible for you to make the extended power widgets ICS style, similiar to AOKP?

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Apex 1.0.2 updated on the ROM performance table.

NEW SYSTEM: More accurate benchmarking!

Apex is now in the top 5 ROMs for performance!

See: http://goo.gl/jlumJ
[Nexus S Android Development] canclan:
Hey Bixie! I just wanted to drop in a "thanks and great rom!" It is the first ICS rom that has had no random rebooting issues with my Nexus S. Also, the customization options are great!

I am using your rom, steve.garon's SG-NS-ICS kernel, and Nova launcher. The whole setup seems to be just the right combination - fast, stable, and great power usage!

Thanks again!
[Nexus S Android Development] alex15032:
Heard great things about your ROM but download speed is insanely SLOW! 18 kb/s for a 112 mb file... Thats insane! You or someone needs to post mirrors please.
[Nexus S Android Development] gsrdemon:
looking forward for the version based on 4.0.4 base.

tried all ICS ROMs out there, but this is always staying as my daily driver for

1. Incredible snappiness - without OC

2. launcher has no delay

3. additional tweaks, widgets, quadlock and everything out there in ICS

4. Great battery life

except the T9 dialer hang, i could not spot any issue even after using this for close to a month now. Great work by the OP

just perfect with Matrix kernel mix. thanks to nexusshacks.com for suggesting/featuring this.
[Nexus S Android Development] pastikk:
Also for me, same things: all is ok except T9.

I hope there will be an update! (I don't want to use other roms) :D
[Nexus S Android Development] vetvito:
Bigxie can you add the Weather Panel in notification bar?
[Nexus S Android Development] ryuken80:
This is my first ROM custom,and the best for me for daily use

Big thanks to mr.Bigxie for the great ROM ; )

is 2g/3g toggle in notification widgets working for any one?
[Nexus S Android Development] pastikk:

Waiting for 4.0.4 based Apex ROM for Nexus S!
[Nexus S Android Development] merlin699:
yeah, Apex on 4.0.4 would be awesome!!! still the best ROM on 4.0.3
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
I just have a little issue with the pulldown widgets to figure out, as well as catch up on updates with some of the other apps (T9 dialer, trebuchet, MMS, etc) and it should be ready soon :)
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
My hero!

Can't wait to try it.
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Thats nice!!! Also think about to include apex launcher as the default launcher on your ROM. It's a very good launcher that gives more customization that Trebuchet.

Can't wait for your v.1.1.0 :)...
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Haha, looks like this ROM was abandoned!

j/k!

I figured out I was being stupid and overwrote parts of my notification widget commit, which was what was causing all my issues getting 4.0.4 working.

So, if anyone's still interested, here's a test build. I've looked over it for about an hour and can't find anything wrong with it. It's just 1.0.2 on a 4.0.4 base with updated apps.

Download here:

Wipe data and cache coming from 1.0.2, sorry :(

Hopefully someone can give me some feedback :P

EDIT: also, I forgot to apply the "fix" for the dictionary, so predictions won't come up. Here's the temporary fix. the final build will have it included:

[Nexus S Android Development] ZeppeMan:
What is the changelog?

Going to try this rom this weekend :)
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Not too different than what's listed in OP, just updated the base to 4.0.4

Updated Trebuchet for resizeable homescreen grid size, updated messaging for emoji support, updated T9 dialer to fix a memory bug.
[Nexus S Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Ok nice, I used this ROM for a long time untill it got "outdated", I had to move on :p I think with 4.0.4 base it's going to be a great ROM again ^^
[Nexus S Android Development] Tordp:
Nice to have you back bigxie! Haven't used Apex since 4.0.4 arrived. I'll give it a try this weekend, many thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Since a 4.0.4 version is now available, I have added this to the NSUX benchmark

I've been using latest Apex with Air Kernel 4.0 (65fps+blue color):

Lazy, Deep Idle ON, SOMF ON, Deadline, LiveOC 110%, BLN ON, Touchwake ON, default voltages.

Everything is working perfectly, however my transfer speed to USB storage is quite low, around 250-350 kB/s. Don't know if it has something to do with the kernel. I'll flash the ROM one more time, test with default kernel and report back later.

EDIT: Rebooting my computer fixed the transfer speed. Everything is working ok with above settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] Tordp:
After more testing I'm pretty sure scripts in init.d are not executed upon boot. I tested with default kernel and Air kernel 4.0. Tried also to install latest busybox from market but it didn't help. Can someone confirm init.d is working/not working?
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Beta build 6

Fixed: camcorder, opengl texture issues

Added: updated emoji support in messaging, native music app now supports lock screen widget

to-do: fix torch

link: http://goo.im/roms/fabolous/uberNoWarrantyTestBuilds/bigxie_crespo_Apex_v1-1-0_b6.zip

This will probably be the last build I'm posting up for a few days while I work on adding some features, unless we find some other really severe bugs.
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Bigxie great ROM, thank you so much! Beta 6 feels much smoother than beta 4... Fewuture request could you add AOKP style wheater in the notifications panel? I find it very useful. Thank you again for your amazing ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Can you test again with b6? I changed some stuff in the ramdisk, but I'm not sure if it made it in to b4 or not.

Also, if you were having issues getting apps to autorestore, seems like that was an issue with the 4/22 gapps. The 4/29 package should fix that.
[Nexus S Android Development] tycruickshank:
Running beta 6 right now and everything is running very smoothly. I think I'm gonna stick with this rom for a while. Hopefully you'll continue with development haha :)
[Nexus S Android Development] tjackbjorn:

Yeah its enabled. I tried unchecking it and then rechecking it and it still seems to not want to work. I've also restarted and still no luck
[Nexus S Android Development] wsstk:
Very nice rom, I've jumped around for a few days after CM9 killed my battery way to quick. to AOKP kang, and it couldnt stay connected to a tower and always put me into roaming.

THIS is nice! great job. I installed it around 5pm, so i havent had a whole day usage out of it yet, im stoked.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
I have noticed that you need to hold back down a little longer than usual when killing apps for it to work.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] tycruickshank:
Oh yeah this seems to work. Just wasn't holding it down long enough

Edit: I kinda like this because now I don't accidentally quit any applications which would hall end sometimes on other roms
[Nexus S Android Development] tycruickshank:
Here's my battery usage from today. I had a lot of reboots in the beginning as I was trying to dial in Matrix with live over clock so I had to mess with the voltages. I'm not sure what the deal is with the Android core apps taking up so much percentage. I'm just suspecting a weird bug because I didn't have any strange battery drain. I listened to tune in radio for close to 2 hours which is why the screen on time isn't all that great.
[Nexus S Android Development] ryuken80:

With Matrix kernel OC @1.3 the phone is really really fast! The fastest stable combo I've ever had. In v1.0.2 apex wasn't such fast as now even in beta 6. Also the battery life is great too, I lost only 12% in 3 hours while browsing, checking mails and a Skype call for about 20 minutes.

Umm, a stupid question. Is there any way could you add custom lockscreen wallpaper?
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
OOOOHHHHHH!!! Can't belive how great a ICS ROM can be for Nexus S!!! Apex v1.1.1 b3 really make our phones GREAT! Installed it now over v1.1.0 b6 and no problem! Also the new lockscreen is great because we can have any app we want!!! Also very speedy and no need to change kernel to see the real speed of apex!!! GREAT!!!

I just made the rom goes sammy...
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Looks nice!!! Also take a look here, the links are broken so could you add it to your theme and of course please upload it? Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
I dont think we need that anymore as bigxie has already merged it to this rom...

@bigxie, one favor, could you add the volume control? AOKP/CM9 has it. :/ That's the missing feature in this rom...
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
What feature are you referring to? I'm not familiar with "volume control"
[Nexus S Android Development] jimdem:
Fantastic speed and stability. Especially the latest version is superb. Thank you. Keep up the good work ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
This...
[Nexus S Android Development] jimdem:
Why every time I boot my phone, using the latest rom version, it says " Android is upgrading. Starting applications"?
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
If you mean after the update of ROM or kernel update it is because you have cleared dalvik cache and there is nothing of "app data". Try only to boot into recovery clear dalvik and rebbot the phone. You'll se the exact same thing
[Nexus S Android Development] jimdem:
No, it happens every time I boot my phone. Just before the 'enter pin' screen.
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
This is strage. Try to re-flash the kernel. Maybe something went wrong with the update or the kernel change...
[Nexus S Android Development] jimdem:
Ok I managed to solve the issue. Luck patcher caused some issues with corrupt files. I repaired them and everything is fine now ;)
