Apex v1.1.2

Provided nothing goes terribly wrong, I will update the thread tomorrow for release. Here's the file now.

Changelog:

-additional stock icons and code fixes to lockscreen customization (credit Danesh M/CM9)

-updated kernel to 3.0.31

-updated notification pulldown widget icons

ROM: http://goo.im/roms/fabolous/crespo/bigxie_crespo_Apex_v1-1-2.zip

GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Wipe dalvik/cache if coming from Apex 1.1.x, full wipe otherwise.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
OP updated!

There's a few minor translation fixes for mms, trebuchet, and dialer in the file in the OP. Otherwise, if you were on 1.1.2 from last night, there's no real major change.

Enjoy!
[Nexus S Android Development] Griffiths_Anna:
wow, looks like a good rom..

I'm gonna trying this
[Nexus S Android Development] original21:
Hi,

two things i would like to know.

1. I can flash a custom kernel with this rom (Matr1x 19,5)

2. Is it possible to flash a darker background for all menus (like BM CM9 V3 or Cybergr V11)
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
1. Of course;) You can flash any kernels you want.

2. Well it is possible, but you would have to make the zip file for it yourself.
[Nexus S Android Development] original21:
The reason i asked about the kernel is cos it says that this rom is based on IMM76I which i think is the rom for galaxy nexus. Anyway thanks.

As for the darker background am not a dev so if anyone could make a zip for that it will be greatly appreciated.:)
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
For the darker background mod download this file and flash it under recovery.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kitch16:
:O OMG! It's so fast and responsive :')
[Nexus S Android Development] ChronicX:
Amazing ROM. Smoother than a baby's butt. Very responsive. Perhaps my new daily rom :D!
[Nexus S Android Development] dan96815:
ROM running great so far with eugene373 Kernel!

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Also the T9 dialer mod running great too!!
[Nexus S Android Development] Tordp:
I found out that apparently this problem is common with non-stock ICS ROMs. People running CM9 are reporting the same problem with the control app.
[Nexus S Android Development] dan96815:
I will post some mirrors later :)
[Nexus S Android Development] paindoo:
Smart Dialing

I really like your rom, but would appreciated if you can implement smart dialing feature in the stock dialer. Its hard to scroll for a person and then call :(
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
The T9 dialer can be downloaded at the bottom of the first post.

It's an add on because there's a minor bug that can cause the dialer to crash, but overall it is functional and stable.
[Nexus S Android Development] ca110475:
Awesome ROM. It works great with Eugene373' kernel.

You simply met all my needs with this one.

Thanks a lot Bigxie, will stick on your ROM and look forward for updates :cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] beakerav:
what's the battery life like?

This looks like a very nice ROM

battery longevity is tops for me, so before I take the plunge, can anyone provide some feedback re the battery life please :)

Does this have the signature hack for sms? If not, can it be implemented in a future release?

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Tordp:
I would love to have the MMS app inverted in next update. Maybe also inverted People and Gmail apps?
[Nexus S Android Development] Tordp:
Bigxie can you please check this problem that conflicts between Deep Idle and Bluetooth? It's easily fixed with a change in framework-res.apk:

I'll look into the inverted MMS app as an add on (because I personally do enjoy black backgrounds), but I'd like to keep the default build as close to stock appearance as possible.
[Nexus S Android Development] dark06:

hi bigxie! the rom runs flawless here! :D

just one request..

take a look at this rom and the changelog.

he wrote ''fixed wifi for non eu and us countries'' . can you include the patch in next release?

thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] CrackerTeg:
Great ROM. One thing I noticed was missing, IMO, is high big mem support. Any plans on adding it?
[Nexus S Android Development] shahidwzr:
Where are the Nav bar settings? cant find them

Phenomenal. I've dropped 30% in 12 hours with two twenty minute trips charging in my car dock. Granted, that's cheating a bit but unheard of on other ROMs I have used. By now on other ROMs, I'd have about 40% left with those same two periods of car dock charging.

This feature is a must have for our 512 mb device on ics ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
I hardly use my Nexus S anymore. Can someone link me with the info on highmem and possibly a how-to on adding support?

Thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] motorator:
Most, if not all of the latest kernels that offer bigmem/biggermem/highmen (many names, same thing) include the necessary libraries, so there is no real need to patch in ROM support.
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
See this...

https://github.com/krarvind/samsung_kernel_aries/commit/77fb0b4fbc657d87599fbc40b7f142da35464e88

Or you will need to replace this .so needed...

Very nice. But how do I get these icons?

BTW, beautiful work bigxie!
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:

P.S Im making a touchwizzed theme for cm9 next week, do stay tuned...
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Did you already make an aosp theme? Flashable? Where is it? Enquiring minds... :p
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
Ok, currently which rom you used?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
For this one, Apex 1.1.2.

...but I also feel I could run KangyU.

...also you need to edit your OP for KangU, because it's got the wrong heading (you wrote CyanU)

[/off topic]
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
Lol! Thanks for the heads up... Anyway, if you liked the settings icon pngs, you can just use my ROM... I will make a flashable Touchwizzed Theme for Apex tomorrow, im very sick today... (Got flu and fever)...

Hello, with t9 dialer it's possible to make the call just pressing on the name found?

I see this option in some other rom

Thank you

Is it possible to have a mod having nav bar for nexus s?
[Nexus S Android Development] Eclair~:
After I flashed this ROM (or... after I flashed a different kernel?), my Wifi stopped working. I rarely ask questions, but as I don't feel like flashing another ROM, could anyone point me in the direction of a possible solution?

I assumed flashing different kernels would fix something, but that proved to be pointless, lol.
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Try to flash Experimental Trinity kernels from derkernel.com

I also had this problem with some kernels (different than "stock"). This might be due to the fact that wifi module changed in CM9 few days back and Apex v1.1.2 using CM kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] sykomaniac:
Any plans to add theme Chooser?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Eclair~:
Thank you, that fixed the problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
I'm going to continue to sync with the CM crespo kernel. If people need this feature, they can flash another kernel.

I am quite pleased with the performance of the CM kernel.

Which other ROM?

Anything is possible, but I don't see the purpose.

Yes.

[Nexus S Android Development] stexyn:
I have the same problem.

To resolve it turn off the WiFi before flashing the new kernel
[Nexus S Android Development] raulillo88:
I have a wifi issue too. I come from CM9 and changed manualy path of wifi modules from /system/modules to /system/lib/modules.

Now putting the module in both places doesn't work. How can do it?

[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Try to flash the kernel while the WiFi is turned off as stexyn says. It worked for me.and also try to flash an experimental Trinity kernel as base. Let it boot once and hen try to flash another kernel.

[Nexus S Android Development] original21:
Nice ROM bigxie. Good job.

I was using this ROM today. Even though it scores low on benchmark tools (UI mainly) i find it really fast and smooth using Matr1x V19,5. The 2g/3g toggle news to be fixed.

I really like the darker backgrounds (like Brainmasters' CM9 V3).

Looking forward to new version

When you use the torch, do your apps stop working?

With me they just freeze (for example, in the homescreen, the launcher freezes) !

Does anyone else have this problem?

In logcat I get a lot of these errors after I turn on the Torch.

Thanks for looking into it ;) !!

Most people don't use the phone when they are using the Torch, I noticed this just because whenever the torch was on the launcher would stop working (I thought it was the launcher fault) , but then I tried other apps (running in the background) and they behaved the same, turning off the Torch makes the apps start working again :)!
[Nexus S Android Development] alexdemonumber3:
Thought I had found the rom for me with nexus beam.. I was mistaken. This rom is *****in!!
[Nexus S Android Development] jimdem:
1.1.3 version is super! The new features (brightness control through statusbar etc.) are very handy. Nice job :) The only request i have is to somehow implement NS tool's features (touchwake, bln settings etc.) inside the rom's settings so that we don't need an external app ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Andrew1998:
which is the best kernel for this fantastic rom ?
[Nexus S Android Development] tjackbjorn:
+1 :D
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Are you guys experiencing issues with receiving phone calls (like the phone does a soft reboot)?

We are having such issues on the GN side. I believe the changes I made to the phone are causing them.
[Nexus S Android Development] jimdem:
Yes exactly that. I've just noticed it

Edit: I tried to install phone.apk from 1.1.2 through adb. After a restart, it seemed to be working fine. When the screen was on, i could receive calls but when it was off, it would soft reboot
[Nexus S Android Development] girishverma:
slapped on Air Kernel..sooo reponsive BUT...call comes in..as others have said...Phone Soft reeboots...PLSSS look into this...
[Nexus S Android Development] Andrew1998:

I am finding that with Air Kernel 4.2 the apps are loading up so fast...quite amazing..though i can't use the ROM since the main functionality of receiving calls isn't working....
[Nexus S Android Development] Muvolt:
Hey bigxie, can you consider implementing the cm9 camera mods for the next update? Is it possible?
[Nexus S Android Development] girishverma:
are we gonna have any sort of flashable zip for the incoming call soft rebooting issues?? or am i the only one having such a problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
I'm looking into it. Revert back to 1.1.2 for the time being, or, pull Phone.apk from it.
[Nexus S Android Development] alexdemonumber3:
Rom is smooth as a mofo, but I seem to be somehow missing text message notifications- like its receiving them but not notifying. Any tips? Thanks! Great rom btw!
[Nexus S Android Development] chickelnoodensoup:
I'm seeing the same thing on 1.1.3. I will receive a text message and my phone will vibrate, but no notification will be displayed in the status bar or notification tray.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Yeah, I think the issues in 1.1.3 stem from changes in the notifier service caused when I merged in the quiet hours code.

I'll have to take a real close look (would prefer not to have to revert it entirely).
[Nexus S Android Development] nastypc:
Apex v1.1.2 under apex lockscreen drag the slider to the targets to assign shortcuts -edit shortcut screen click on empty select custom application, which i do then click the save icon in bottom right - lockscreen shortcuts saved. But they don't! am I missing something? Thank you.
[Nexus S Android Development] thuanngotau:
Me too without any change after rebooting computer. USB storage is quite low and then my phone reboot or sometime shutdown that need to pull out the battery. It is strange!?

PROBLEM FIXED: It is for sure because of the Matr1x Kernel v19.5. I flash back the default CM kernel then everything is just fine!!!

[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
I would prefer you using Matr1x or INK... AIR has stability problem on Apex.
[Nexus S Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
I also recommend Matr1x. For me is the best kernel for Apex.

Also try to flash the kernel while the Wi-Fi is off.
[Nexus S Android Development] thuanngotau:
I tried Matr1x 19.5 before and got a problem with USB storage file transfer with PC that while I was trying to copy a large file to the phone (~800MB), it restarted and completely turned off (only pulling out the battery could help to wake it up then). U could try and know it!
[Nexus S Android Development] DaXmax:
Have you tried changing you i/o sheduler...
[Nexus S Android Development] alexfiorani:
Well, my wifi stopped working when I flashed air kernel 4.0 (I was already using this kernel before I decided to try apex rom). when I was still with the apex kernel (cm9 kernel) everything was working.

I just flashed the rom again and haven't flashed anything else. everything is working now.
[Nexus S Android Development] crbandrlb:

Nope but it could cause me to be late for work !

MMS messages are messed up

Both my wife and I have the same phone Nexus S on T-mobile & my son-n-law sent us both a MMS video of my grandson. My phone with apex 1.1.2 had the message but it was missing audio and the video was degraded. The video file size was 77kb. Hers with all stock firmware came thru perfect good video & audio and the video file size was 360kb.

Any ideas anyone?????????????

P.S. we tried forwarding the same file from her phone a couple times but got the same results. I compared all my settings with hers but couldn't find anything.
[Nexus S Android Development] sginkr:
great rom. and i need one little thing more.

i like cm9 but i couldn't use that rom on my phone, because the rom always cause serious problems such as random reboot or all FC.

so i've used stock rom recently.

today i flashed this rom, it looks good. this one has stock rom stability and cm9 convinience. it's an awesome combo.

but i need one little thing more.

cm9 already got the thing. but any other roms don't yet.

i use a app named 'screen off and lock'. it make me possible turn my screen off without a power button.

after 4.0.4 release, it doesn't work properly. sometimes it works good. but another time it doesn't. when i operate the app, the screen went off, and then turn back on.

in the link below somebody has same issue.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508435&page=259

as i know, cm9 solved this problem since 0419 nightly.

could you look into this problem?

thank you very much. and i'm sorry for my bad english.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dadi68:
Scroll down the notification curtain and tap the lock icon on the power widget (this is what you want)
[Nexus S Android Development] sginkr:
/Dadi68

thank you for reply. i've heard about that.

but i don't use that way. i use the app with the gesture fucntion supported by apex launcher especially 'swipe up' gesture. it's so convenient that i don't need any other way.

edit:

i tried that way-the power widget-. and i've noticed the same problem. the screen turns back on occationally, too.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dadi68:
install Screen Off and Lock and then link the program with your swipe up action

its works (for me)
[Nexus S Android Development] sginkr:
i use exactly the same app you said.

it works fine most of the time, but the screen turns back occationally.

only on cm9, it works perfectly.

like i said, since 0419 nightly cm9 solved this problem.

Is the ROM reflash the only solution or someone can provide a flashable zip file?

This mod has been a pleasure to use so far.. it's very smooth, fast and feels solid.
