Just flashed the new version and it's so smooth. Love the updates, thank you
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
is anyone else having problems with titanium backup?

I'm having trouble restoring my apps. I just encountered the problems yesterday. It will restore one or two then hang. I've tried multiple roms, I've tried the indirect app method recommended in the FAQs, and still nothing. I've even tried deleting my backup and making a new one. any recommendations? Thanks.

Other than that rock solid rom!

first off i have to say , loving the new update .... flashed last night and so far its been great , runs really smooth

as for the titanium back up issuse i dont think its the rom cause ive had that happen to me before , all i do it reboot my phone and go back and it seems to work
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ScientificOne:
I had that issue before, once I was able to get all my programs reinstalled, I ended up deleting the titanium backup folder on the SD card (make sure you back it up just in case), then creating new backups of all the programs. Been working like it's supposed to ever since.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] corythug:
Grabbing the update now, thanks a ton :)

Follow the leader @corythug ;)

bigxie,

Great rom very smooth and fast.

I noticed a bug with the battery bar, when charged completely, it doesn't go all the way to the right. See attach pic.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blu8503:
Common problem

Just so ya know, this is a problem with other ROM's that have the battery bar. not sure if there is a fix big but it is happening elsewhere

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

is that a live wallpaper? either way i want it where can i get it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dpeeps74:
It's a wallpaper included with the rom. It's pretty nice but my phone girlfriend would feel neglected.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blu8503:
wow

Shows how often i change my wallpaper thanks for the heads up they are there. Thanks Bigxie
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Here's my guess, when you see a 100% charge, in a ROM, its really only charging to 96% so maybe the battery bar mod is calibrated to that true charge and not for the cosmetic charge. Just a guess.

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ama761156:
that was my first thought at first also but its too far to be just 4%
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
Honestly the MIUI bar battery is a little gimmicky, I just included the common implementation used in other ROMs since some people had asked for it.

As for the wallpapers, long press an empty spot on your home screen and choose "Apex Wallpapers"
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rimmir:
Change your settings in Titanium Backup to use Busybox and SQLite from ROM. That should help.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
Yeah I've tried rebooting but no luck. I went to a back up. I think I'm just going to manually reinstall from the market, and make a new backup. I emailed the dev but haven't heard anything back yet. Thanks for the suggestions.

From Degobah
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
I'll try that first before I try the manual reinstalls. I appreciate the advice. This is the first time in almost two years I've ever had any problems with titanium backup.

Amazing ROM. Still see weird brightness issues. Could you take what pete has done in his latest ?

Also see red underlines on every word i type ? What is that ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mlin:
I only see the red underlines when I misspell words. If you're using text lingo such as 'wut, thxs, doin,' etc. you get the red lines.

No idea. She's ended up on my phone many times over the past couple years. Got it originally on my hero. It's actually a strange wallpaper because I have to use scrolling and make my home "last" screen
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tyea:
There are so many good roms for the ns4g. Everything works on this, including: rotation, Bluetooth, wallet. As described on the op, it is a compilation of useful add-on features from various roms to a stable AOSP rom. I get the impression the developer put considerable test time in this one. I'm burning out on being a flashaholic and am considering settling with this one. I'll update on my experience with this one over the weekend.

I've had two 'Beyondpod' force closes listening to a podcast via bluetooth and using google maps simultaneously. I also had an episode where I was web surfing from a stationary location with 2 bars 3g signal strength and about 50% battery life. My reception just went bad for about 5 minutes to a non 3g 1x signal, phone got warm, and battery drained to 4%. Maybe a bad battery. Maybe the solar storm. I don't know. I do swap batteries daily.

Saturday, everything is working great. Not much screen use (25 min) this time today + 5 minutes of phone calls, and the battery charge has very little drain . I'm using the stock download configuration. I think not using live wallpaper may be contributing to improved battery life, plus I reduced the frequency of all my automated notifications. I leave all my radios on. I had some of the back light features on, and they may have contributed to some video flicker, because when I unchecked all the back light features, the flicker went away. I used wallet at the store yesterday and the software performed normal. At the moment, I don't feel the need for a fast kernel, even when I see my wife's E4GT perform with a little more speed. I need another heavy use day to decide if I'm going to settle down with this rom.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] oxeneers:
By far the best AOSP ROM for the NS4G with everything working.

Thanks for the hard work, bigxie.

I took the dive and cleared cache and dalvik and reflashed just the rom. All of my gapps don't work now. It says not installed. I hate setting these things up each time I flash a rom. Is there anyway to resolve? Also my dictionary doesn't seem to work anymore. It only has custom words. Going back to v2 for now...

Come on man, the directions in the first post couldn't be any clearer...you just have to read them!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] grifforama:
Can you comment on the dictionary issue ? I am definitely getting this problem as well ? And also auto brightness seems to be erratic ?

I love this ROM. It would be great to see these two things ironed out ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luciferii:
This rom changed my regular Google splash screen to one with a blue progress bar.. how do I change it back???

EDIT: it was the speedy7 kernel and not this rom.. sorry!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bigxie:
The dictionary is in the gapps. If you didn't install the gapps, every word will appear misspelled.

If you didn't install the gapps, you didn't read/follow the directions.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blu8503:
Unbelievable

Seems like this question comes up every now and again, the directions couldn't be any clearer big, great ROM, thank you and keep it up

Since flashing updating to Apex v1.0 I been noticing massive battery drain, on battery usage I saw that Android OS is having really long awake times while using the latest Matrix kernel which I use to get decent to good battery life on bixies previous roms. I tried reflashing Apex v1.0 wiping dalvik cache and the other I forgot what its called and used the default kernel that comes with it and seemed OK for half the day, then did a backup via recovery before flashing the latest matrix kernel again and same problem returned. I reformatted everything and wiped everything clean before restoring via recovery and will see how things go tomorrow. Any ideas what's the problem I'm having?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mvan4310:
well no OS crashes so far. My trebuchet just crashed and had to remove battery to bring back online since touch screen stopped working when it crashed.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] forumsid987:
I had three crashes. I charged briefly for 5 min at the first crash (where the gap in the graph is) them HAVE NOT CHARGED SINCE! Let me repeat, even though the end of the graph looks like it's charging its not! On the second crash my battery went from 60%-9% ...makes no sense? I calibrated my bat right after I flashed. Now my battery is going up to 19% at the moment.

This is so weird.

Bixie if you can explain this you're the man.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] darkgodz:

Fast.

Just a couple of FCs.

No reboots.

Nice work!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] forumsid987:
Yes I'm using this ROM. I just posted a battery mod for it earlier...see my posts earlier in this thread. It's just custom icons, nothing more.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tyea:
Updating my earlier post to this rom, today I had the best battery performance of any rom I've used. I'm using the stock settings as downloaded.

If I get through another day of good user experience, I'm going to settle with this rom for quite a while, until some other rom gets overwhelming praise that tempts me. It will take a lot to lead me to temptation from Bigxie's APEX.

The following morning I was using google Places to find a coffee shop, and Google Maps slowed down. When I closed Maps in frustration,the GPS icon in the top bar would not go away. I had to reboot. I tried search in google maps for coffee shops after reboot and everything seemed to be working fine. I had Bluetooth on during this whole scenario.

I'm still sticking with this rom, but one more GPS foul up is going to turn me away.

However, everything works great on this ROM and I'm even running a non-standard resolution and using Nova Launcher. Thanks Dev!!
