[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wickid_d:
I always do a prl and profile update when I try out a new rom. Call me paranoid, but I never know if one's going to be custom-tailored to a rom or not, so I do it to be on the safe side and it seems to fix any network-type issues. On this, however, whenever I'd do a profile update, it would soft-reboot (back to the logo), as I mentioned before. Kind of sucks, because I never did find out a way to tell if it completed before the reboot or not, before I went back to aokp.

Good luck! :)

i am using recovery 5.0.2.3 and with recovery i install the ROM because i am begginer :( , i have google nexus s
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kijp15:
Haha. I was once that way too when I first started flashing roms. But yes if you have a nexus s your in the wrong thread. If you have a nexus s 4g sprint than this is the place for you. You should also use rom manager to update your recovery as well. Hope this helps. :)

This is the Nexus S (Crespo) version of Apex Rom here.

can you show me a video how to flash??? please

EDIT:

whot can tell me what ROM its stable and GOOD
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Sorry .... when I said "flash", it's the same procedure as when you installed the rom. This rom is fine, but there are others ... it's really up to you. Since you are fairly new at this, I would suggest that you do some reading in the Nexus S development forum for your GSM device.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] martian22:
tnx for helping me.....the apex works fine now at the moment,I am new but quickly catch any thing...:P

i whant to know what ROM its works best on this forum....thanks in advance
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
You're welcome, my friend. When it comes to selecting a rom, there are as many different opinions as there are people ... it all depends on what is important to you. My opinion is that Gingerbread still runs quicker, smoother, and has longer battery life than ICS, and my choices would be Oxygen and CM7.2 which was recently released. Of course there will be many who disagree, because the ICS interface is very nice, and new.

As to my choice for ICS ... in addition to Apex, there is Cross Bones, and of course, CM9 which is getting ready to release an upgraded version as release candidate 1. Equally as important as the rom, is the kernel. I would try out the kernel that comes with each rom, and if you would like to try a quite stable kernel ... give Thalamus' a try. Have some fun, and enjoy your Nexus!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wickid_d:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
No, it's not a rom ... just a kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] martian22:
Aham...i understand, this ics what you give me works realy good but the battery its going fast down....sry for my bat english
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Always best to give a new rom and kernel a few days to settle, in order to achieve maximum results. Looks like you're in good shape for now ... enjoy!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] martian22:
1 more question how to install kernel....like a rom???
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, and install the kernel zip just like a rom. Reboot system and you're good to go.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] martian22:
and this kermel what you are talking about wwhit what helps the nexus s?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Thalamus' kernels are some of the most stable and battery efficient for the Nexus S. Give it a try for a few days, and let us know what you think.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] martian22:
i installed the kernel i don't see any difference...i will test it from now one 1-2 days and i will repost if it works or samthing like this...:P
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] androidforeve:
wmdunn just curious how does that kernel compare to the matrix kernel
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
They are both very good kernels, just depends on personal preference. I like that both Thalamus and Mathkid are actively developing for the Nexus S. Thalamus is more of a purist, fewer extras, but his work is excellent. My taste prefers Matrix ... seems faster and I prefer the color.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] martian22:
I tested the thalamus kernel but...have many problems.....baterry not charge 100% pcu now work on this kernel. Cpu idlee not work......i like the apex simple works very very good.....
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Like I said, Thalamus doesn't include things like blx or CPU idle. You might want to try matrix kernel ... revision 22 is quite good.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] androidforeve:
Thanks guys for the response I read his thread his kernel seems great but you are right almost pure stock and no overclocking which I love

Regarding GPS I haven't tried google navigation yet. But my a GPS locks in 2 second in google maps and whenever location is requested.

FYI - My flashing process is...

*** clean using wipe all zip so your system folder get WIPED

1. Flash the ROM

2. Flash Gapps

3. Don't boot the OS, instead while in recovery select power off

4. Fast boot and boot back into recovery

5. While in recovery do a factory data reset & wipe cache (so folders are formatted)

6. Now boot OS

7. Enjoy

Edit: My home button works fine
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] formula84:
Just tried nav working fine
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] penner42:
Tried installing over AOSP ROM. Gmail would just start and close, no contact sync. Wiped, did a clean install. Flashed ROM, Gapps, Matr1x, booted right up working great. Restored everything with Titanium Backup and it's good to go.

Using ADW Ex not Trebuchet. Want to customize rows/columns on home screens, have a single page drawer, drag and hold to uninstall...

Liking the ROM, though. Too soon to have any idea on stability or battery life.

@bigxie I got a request for a simple percentage battery mod in status bar.

Edit: If anyone is interested I was reading that this ROM's system ui and framework is the same as oICS v43. So you can use any themed mods like 0-100% battery mod made for oICS on this ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] formula84:
Check the theme thread, Shane has a great add on to the ROM...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
tried flashing the t9 dialer on peter alfonso's rom with no success.

inb4 "that's not the rom it's meant for"
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
Yeah, if you're coming from another ROM, you'll have to wipe data and cache. I haven't tried any others, but I'm sure their gapps are different (older/worse/wrong), so that's why you'd get those sync issues.

Just backup your user apps and data with TiBu, wipe and do a clean install, then restore user apps and data.

It's just the stock Google kernel, I suggest using a custom one if you want the flashy stuff.

Concerning battery mods and stuff, I think I'll leave that to the themers. Especially since right now, I don't know if the SystemUI is finalized (i.e. next build it could change, and all these mods would have to be recreated).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
Roger that.. I'll leave that stuff only for now. I read the system ui and framework is same as oICS right now.

Love your ROM Bigxie thanks again.

Thanks for pointing that out formula.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
Did it prompt you to grant the music app permission to your google account? You need to give it permission before it will sync. If you missed it, you can wipe the music app data (or uninstall it and reinstall it from the market).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
I was playing music from my google account earlier, no issues.

But I did get some no data connection messages today. I just thought sprint was working on some RF stuffs. I'm using Eugene speedy 3 kernel. No biggie.

I've been around the block once or twice regarding running roms. So to answer your question bout what I think of this rom. I think it's in the top three. This is my favorite rom, this is where CM9 should be. No dis to burnsra & team I know they're going to the next level shortly.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Really loving this ROM. Not quite as much customization as AOKP, but to me just feels more fluid; quicker -- even with the stock kernel.

I ended up flashing steve.garon's kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427352) because I wanted BLN (honestly, that's all I really use a custom for these days) and so far it's been a great match, performance and battery-wise.

Quadrant scores? Who cares? How does it feel to you? "Man, this ROM is amazing in every way, but this quadrant score just ain't cuttin' it." *flashes different ROM for higher quadrant score* IDGI

This ROM is as smooth as silk for me, everything seems to work and work well. Was running v43 previously for a few weeks which was great until I changed kernels. Decided to give this a shot since I needed a fresh start anyway, happy I did, immediately saw an improvement in performance as well as battery life. Quadrant scores are near 1300 but like someone else said, they aren't everything, I'd rather judge performance with usage instead of a benchmark app. Anyway, thanks to everyone that had a hand in creating this!

I noticed Clock was closing when I tried to get into the alarms. I had restored all data in Titanium Backup. Went into Titanium Backup again, wiped Clock data, and it's all working again. Had to set up my alarms again, but not a problem.

Also, Yahoo! Mail would display a white screen and then exit if I tapped the notification about new mail. It would work fine going into the app from the launcher to check mail. Wiping data in Titanium Backup for Yahoo! Mail also fixed that problem.

If you just have one app misbehaving from a restored backup, give that a try.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
been using this for a day now, seems snappier then most ICS releases...

love the little tweaks and settings u can adjust.

currently prefer this over ocsv43 which i ran for a very long time.

i did a "dirty flash", wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash this rom, then flash gapps, then flash mathkid v14 kernel and boot.

everything is working, no force closes, very snappy, no problems and everything stuck data wise besides my home screens and maps is mia for the count, but gps seems ALLOT better and using telenav it gets my location ASAP.

kinda glad gmaps is gone! lol i get a shared id error when installing from market.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] penner42:
I have Maps... probably restored from my Titanium Backup. Works just fine, so if you can install it that you can get probably use it.

Wallet seems broken. Tried to use it last night for the first time since this ROM. It runs and had my cards... it detects the scanner and starts sending, but the scanner never receives anything.

Edit: Also, a bug in Settings, it seems. If I just boot up, go to settings and tap More... under Wireless & Networks, it works fine. If the phone has been on and running for a while, tapping More... there just goes to a blank screen and sits there. I can get out of it by hitting the home button and close it by holding the home button and flicking it away so I can get back into Settings, but I still can't get into that section.

Still going strong over here, battery life is the best I've had with any ICS rom thus far.
