wtf? which kernel are you running?

i'm using matrix and my battery drops 2% within 30mins
[Nexus S Android Development] ryuken80:
I use Matrix kernel v 19.5 cfs,and without OC
[Nexus S Android Development] Blackcrx:
Really? I'm using the same kernel. No oc either.
[Nexus S Android Development] ryuken80:
Yeah sure,that screenshot i take it from my nexus unplugged from charger and just standby without data conecction
[Nexus S Android Development] Blackcrx:
Oh. Haha. That changes a lot.

I think this thread died. Too bad this ROM is my daily dricer

Wait for the release of JB binaries , then bigxie will (my opinion) update the rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
Try the Speedy 3 kernel and use nstools to set the governor to ondemand, seems to have done the trick for me, still testing tho. :)

edit: Still happens now and then but not all the time, no one seems to know what is causing this bug:

Edit 2: I just re read dark06 post again, it may not be the same bug, must have been bugging out for a moment, the vid below shows the problem I have:

@ bigxie : Thanks for the rom, will test it over the next few days, so far only issue is the screen on / off flicker, which is present in every ICS rom I have tried to date (I have tried em all...lol)
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
That color distortion is because of Voodoo Color.

I think the solution is to turn up the gamma settings with voodoo control. This behavior has been around for ages and is neither ICS nor ROM related.
[Nexus S Android Development] dark06:
Its ok now i changed the kernel to speedy like contactmc recommended then i raised the rgb values and zeroed the gammas cuz i didnt like the colors.all is well now thanks guys.btw i switched back to smartassv2 since ondemand made my browser flicker if opened or anything with white background does it.its really hard to describe..just open and close the browser and u'll see what i mean.or maybe its just on my side.anyway still loving the rom lol

All of these custom roms have a bug that don't detects any photos or music within folders. Sticking with Official OTA till this issue is fixed on a rom with FB Sync
[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
I had that problem with other roms, gallery works perfect on this one, it had detected all of my old pics. Not sure about music I use power amp.
[Nexus S Android Development] saw81:
problems with i9023???thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
The i9023 does not have voodoo colour as it is slcd. The problem presents itself differently to the oled versions as shown in the YouTube video.

This happens to me with or without voodoo app (sound only) being installed.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
It works just fine. Like I said in the first post, please give it some time to sync all your account info and enumerate the media on the internal storage.
[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
Any ideas about the lock screen flashes bigxie?
[Nexus S Android Development] mobile_sensei:
I have only ran into the bug with one ROM, certainly not ALL of "these" ROMs. Big Xie's build is golden, the difference between a ROM from an established, accomplished Developer & those from inexperienced builders are quite evident in this build. Everything works right out the box, clean build from source with Xie's overlay = performance & reliability that can't be attained from a patched together, hacked, drag N drop ROM.

Thanks for your hard work & a great ROM Andrew!
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
That's too busy, I'm not trying to crowd the notification shade.

How about this? ;)

It will be user toggle-able, purists don't worry.
[Nexus S Android Development] rrohanjs:
it is good but its for gingerbreadish .. i just thought it would be good to have something different .. but its ok if u feel it makes it too busy than alrite .. no problem .. thnx
[Nexus S Android Development] dark06:
Pls do put it bro.this is what i was waiting!:D

Sent from a Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
I'd like to see:

1) Put that notification shade in! Really can't stand not having the GPS and wifi toggles in there on stock ICS.

2) Long-press volume keys to skip tracks while the screen is off.

I'll be happy with these additions. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ZeppeMan:
I'm using this ROM since the release and it's been rock solid, smooth and fast together with Eugene's kernel.

Keep up the good work!
[Nexus S Android Development] dark06:
Does the soon to be implemented toogles have sleep toggle bigxie?it would be nice if it did to lessen the stress on the power button.is it possible if you can make the volume buttons wake up the phone too?i always use this back on cm7.thanks!

Sent from a Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Yes, I also really want long-press volume keys to skip tracks. I don't believe this has been implemented in ICS before, but I think I might be able to (not a promise though!)

Yes, you will have a whole bunch of them to choose from, and sleep is one of the options.

Update:
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
Will the notification shade power menu have an airplane mode button?
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Here's the list to choose from:

sleep, skip song, reverse song, play/pause, 2g/3g, airplane, bt, brightness, gps, lockscreen, mobile data, orientation, screentimeout, sound, sync, wifi, hotspot

You can have 6 visible at any time, with scrolling to see more, and customize the order.

Or you can turn it all off if you don't want them.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Omg omg omg when is the update comingg :D
[Nexus S Android Development] richfish:
What's the bug with the T9 dialer? That's really the only other mod that I'm missing at the moment but don't want to use it if it's seriously buggy.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
It's pretty obscure. If you open the dialer and return home without making a call like 6+ times, it will slow down and eventually crash.
[Nexus S Android Development] richfish:
hmm ok, I think I can live with that, thanks for the answer. Also thanks for the ROM it's exactly what I was after.
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
OP:

Did you reduce the VM heap size from the 128mb default? CM7 allowed us to choose heap size, but stock ROMs don't, and 128mb is really too high for a phone with only 512mb of RAM...
[Nexus S Android Development] mike.b93:
I've never really understood the VM heap size. Can you explain that in 1 or 2 sentences?
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
While in languages like assembly and C you have a stack where things can be stored, in Java the stack doesn't actually contain things. It contains references, which are basically (sort of) like pointers in C. The "things" are put in the "heap," where they're just gathered together and sorted using the references in the stack.
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
So what's a better value for the heap size then? 96? 64? Honestly I don't use my Nexus S enough to feel the difference.

Why would Google choose an unoptimal value? I believe it's 256MB on the GN, with 1GB of RAM so 128 seems right to me.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:

Looks like my update fu**ed up my phone. Google sync is gone. No entry in the settings exept facebook. And it lags like ****. Ill back up my Data and Flash with a Full Wupe.

I'll report back. I guess i messed up something. I go back to CWR instead of TWRP.

edit: Clean install with CWR did the thing :)
[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
Running great so far with speedy 3 kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
The only issues I'm noticing are the weather widget refusing to function. Everything else appears to work fine (so far).

Edit: You need to change some things in your update.zips. Updating from version 1 to version 2 nuked all of my gapps, thus necessitating a re-flash of gapps, which in turn wiped out all of my existing settings in those apps as well as removed my Google account from the phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] HELLienadO:
facebook contacts sync is syncing all contacts instead of only existent contacts, when this option is selected :(

I like very much the extras that the OTA does not have, it is as smooth as other ICS roms based on OTA I've tried before(brainmaster's and other), by that I mean, not as smooth as GB.

Great work, thank you!
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
You need to reflash gapps when you update the ROM. I think it's pretty clearly written in the instructions.

I've only used 'sync all' personally, but I believe the behavior your talking about occurs in every ROM with Facebook sync enabled (as they're all using the same patch).
[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
Agreed, I flashed g apps again as instructed straight after flashing the update and all is well, many thanks bigxie.
[Nexus S Android Development] mobile_pc:
Wow, Nice rom!

battery % MOD?
[Nexus S Android Development] Tordp:
I concur, deep idle is working perfectly in this release with GLaDOS 2.7. I'm going to vacation next week and I've been looking for a stable ICS ROM for my phone. This is the one, many thanks bigxie! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] pistlman:
Maybe we can use these file:

AOSP+BatteryMod.zip

AOSP+CircleBattMod.zip

by nexusbeam rom thread.
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
I know that, but by reflashing gapps, it undoes all of your settings in those apps, and I had to link the device to my Google account again.
[Nexus S Android Development] funcrusher:
I think you have to flash it immediately after flashing the ROM (update).
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Yes, prior to rebooting. I've always done it that way, and have never had to reconnect any accounts or lose any Gapps data.
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
Ah yeah that's what I did wrong. I didn't flash it immediately after the new ROM but allowed the device to boot first.
[Nexus S Android Development] zooq:
Build 2 simply amazing !
[Nexus S Android Development] zooq:
Dear Bigxie,do u recommend force gpu rendering and and limit background processes to 4 on this build?Does it have any significant impact enabling this two options?tq

[Nexus S Android Development] CONTACTMC:
I flashed the ice cream infusion theme earlier this evening, seems to work fine even tho its supposed to be for the 4g rom only.
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
I've noticed that the battery graphs seem to be skewed in ICS. The Music app isn't properly telling me the time it wakelocked the device, the infamous "Android OS" bug is mucking up the data and I seem to be getting slightly worse battery life than I did on CM7, despite similar clocks and undervolting. I suppose I should re-calibrate the battery and see if that helps.
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Is there a way to add more functions to the lock screen? Like phone and text?

Also, the slide circle has one part that's off of the screen. Must be a leftover from the galaxy nexus. Would be good if the circle can be moved higher.

Can we expect an update just like your latest update in maguro rom?:D btw i dont know what to call your rom?:p

[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
I like it the way it is, as Google designed it. I think the lockscreens with 4 shortcuts look sloppy and unprofessional.

Sure, I ran into a couple of setbacks during the ROM release for maguro and toro, so crespo/4g will be delayed a little.

Don't worry about Quadrant, if the phone feels fast, it's all good.

On build #2, Deep Idle was not reporting any time in either TOP=ON or TOP=OFF. This is using netarchy's 1.0.3 kernel. Stock IML74K and the CM9 alpha #20 are reporting time in TOP=OFF using netarchy's kernel.

I haven't tried build #3 yet since I'm on a different ROM right now. What with all the ICS ROMs out right now, it's really unleashed the crackflasher in me. :D

YES VOLUME KEYS TO SKIP TRACKS. Been waiting for that one!

I wonder if there's any way to prevent notifications from playing on the phone speaker when the headset is attached, and also preventing notifications from causing the music to stop for a moment. CM7 had this ability--focus loss ducking. I miss it.

hey

this rom is the best ics rom ive used..its like a GB+ICS combo and its sooo snappy with nova launcher.overclocking didnt work for me but at 1000mhz it has zero lag...BIG THANKS to the developer..

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

is there any way i can change the font?
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
If you want to overclock past 1GHz, you'll need to install a custom kernel. The included one is just a stock kernel. Fonts are located in /system/font so you can replace them with your own using some sort of root explorer tool or flashing an update.zip (though I have not tested this in ICS, it has worked up to GB).

OP updated with build 4. As always, wipe dalvik and cache coming from a previous build. Enjoy!
[Nexus S Android Development] vetvito:
is google wallet working on build 4? I'm still on build 2, and it says not supported on "device or carrier".
[Nexus S Android Development] ragnarokx:
Impressive looking ROM! Downloading now :)
[Nexus S Android Development] pistlman:
I have to wipe dalvik and cache and flash build 4 and then flash again gapp or not needed?
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
Yes, flash the gapps package again or you'll lose all your gapps and your Google account will become unlinked from the device.

OP, I just flashed build #4 and the haptic feedback on the soft keys utterly died. It's almost as if there's no haptic feedback at all.

Edit: Rebooting seems to have cleared the issue. I was worried there for a minute, lol...
[Nexus S Android Development] bigxie:
Yes, always reflash gapps.

Can you give me an example where? I get normal haptic feed back doing things like launching the app drawer, long press on the homescreen, etc.
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
It's weird. When I first booted up the phone after flashing, haptic feedback on the four soft keys (but not on the soft keyboard) was very, very weak. Other haptic (app drawer, long-pressing the homescreen, long-pressing the power button) was fine. It was just the four soft keys under the screen that had a minimal haptic response.

I was going to reboot, but then about ten minutes later the haptic response went back to normal. So I went ahead and rebooted and it stuck. I have no idea why it happened.
[Nexus S Android Development] sperelli:
not able to.

anyone got the right method?
[Nexus S Android Development] synaesthetic:
Love the quad lockscreen, and the volume keys to skip tracks. I noticed another ROM had a feature that I've been wanting since I first started using Android devices, but the quad lockscreen and volume key navigation isn't present in that other ROM.

The feature I'm speaking of is a 30-step volume control for media. AOSP+ apparently has had this, and I've always found Android's default 15-step volume control to be nowhere near granular enough. Stuff is commonly either too loud or too quiet and I've always found myself wanting to be "between" two volume increments.

I'm hoping the 30-step volume mod will make its way to this ROM. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] kikko088:
Fantastic rom, fantastic lockscreen! Can you add miss ed call/SMS on lockscreen icon?
[Nexus S Android Development] brunswick000:
Anyone recommend an alternate kernel for this ROM? I tried it with speedy 4 and it was acting poorly. Screen would not wake after phone call, and some random reboots right off the hop. It should be noted that I had it overclocked to 1100mhz. I love all the options it has so I would kill to make it my daily driver. Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] moriz1:
Matr1x kernel works fine for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] vetvito:
