I've been using SG-NS-ICS_11012012.zip for a while and it's been great. No problems, so I haven't bothered updating.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] louderstill:
oICSv43 and 11-01

first battery cycle saw ~40% OS usage

this second cycle it's 15%

i have not answered or placed a call yet...

still showing 69% at 20 hours

that's about 40 sms and syncing 2 gmail accounts

no games of frivolous apk's

i thot about this but i keep thinking i'm going to can my DSL service...

and i'm not sure it's fast enough anyway

[almost as cheeky as my cell signal :rolleyes:]

Worked for me too. Although my reception is only slightly better when on the opposite side of my house. I think I need to move it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I get full bars through the whole house and even outside in the yard... Then again, my house isn't huge, lol.

As for the strange widget-napping after flash a reboot seems to have restored them. Never seen that before though.

New Experimental Kernel:

SG-NS-ICS_12012012.zip and SG-NS-ICS_12012012_alternate.zip
- Kernel 3.0.17
- Experimenting with GPU Overclock (now at 250Mhz instead of 200Mhz)

Have Fun.

New experimental broke wifi
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] antibox:
Wifi works fine here.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] karnoff:
did you flash the new experimental alternate zip? And did you flash it over the previous kernel with cache and dalvik wipe?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
FYI, My kernel uses the cleaner.sh script and does the wipe dalvik and cache for you automatically.

OP Updated!

New Add-on 13012012
- Adds init.d support to the kernel
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
New to this kernel. Is the 1.13.12 kernel out yet, i didn't see it.? And i see the alternate zip. Is that a must to flash right after the kernel of choice or no?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
Wifi works with init.d support but broke rotate.

~Im here to duckhunt tickertape visions and pick apart the pixels~
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] antibox:
I did a complete reset/data wipe. Flashed Pete's latest release, flashed this experimental kernel, restored my data from nandroid and everything is working as expected so far. I did all these steps in one recovery session. Very good scores in AnTutu - 3700.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
Reboot.

It's an ICS bug .. sometimes you need to reboot to get rotate to work. Go figure...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jesusice:
Using the 12012012.zip and the init.d add on and my auto rotate is working. Haven't tested wifi yet.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
Blam! Working. Thanks Steve. Everything is golden now.

~Im here to duckhunt tickertape visions and pick apart the pixels~
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
Steve, any chance you can add a 1GHz option to your kernel clocks? My phone is extremely unstable at anything above 1ghz, especially undervolted. I would prefer to use your kernel, but 1.1 GHz gives me reboots and 800MHz is too slow.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
Sorry. the 1.1ghz step is the whole point of the kernel. Use a kernel that has liveoc.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chappy824:
Very nice kernel! Plays very nice at top speed. No longer riding the short bus....lol. Damn this is snappy!

OP Updated!

SG-NS-ICS_14012012.zip and SG-NS-ICS_14012012_HIGH_HZ.zip
- Removed GPU OC since it doesn't do anything
- Made init.d support built-in
* Note: You need to have busybox installed for init.d to work. Look for the busbox installer app in the market.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] louderstill:
i got bootloops on 14

tried reflashing it to same result...

complete new download

[i do all my zip files USB...]

reflashed

now it's booting

caughcaugh...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
There was a 10 min window where the zips I uploaded had a bug in the initd scripts which would make the kernel bootloop.

Now they are fixed. Sorry for the trouble.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] louderstill:
nuttin to it

it was my first WTF!!!!!!!

did 12

it was fine

went and got 14 again

fixed...

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
Flashed the new kernel and everything works great cept I have a little message in the lower left corner of the screen that says safe mode. What's up with that?

Note: I rebooted to see if it went away and it didnt.

Edit: I flashed the HZ version so I'm gonna try the other to see if I get the same results

~Im here to duckhunt tickertape visions and pick apart the pixels~
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jesusice:
I've had the safe mode bug randomly before. Rebooting has always fixed it though. What I'd like to know is how I actually enable it if I want. Seems like it could be useful because it won't load any downloaded apps, just the stock system apps. Could he helpful if an app starts giving you problems.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
OK I reflashed the HZ version and all is well now. Flashed it the same way as before. I would also like to know what caused that. Especially through the reboot...

So as of now steve the kernel is working as expected. Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Steve you are one fast worker. It seems it was just the other day i tried your kernel and couldn't overclock it. It looks like you've put out several updates since then. Going in for the download. I will report back soon. :D

NStools app
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Very nice and pretty damned quick. Tried both and they were both so close in speed, I decided to use the one with the better colors as the speed is not so different to be noticeable in everyday use.

Great job! But two questions...

1. I see that i can select screen off max freq. And that is a setting normally reserved for deep idle. However there is no deep idle on/off options. So I am assuming this means the kernel has deep idle built in and always on. Is this correct?

2. Looking though the change log i see where you state busybox it's required for init.d to work. What is init.d support and how does it help?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mayoko185:
Hi I really like this kernel, however I am having one issue. I cant get my phone tobe stable at the 1100mhz clock... Iv tried to inc the voltage in nstools and iv gone as high as 1350 and my phone will still reboot eventually. Thing is if I cap it at 800mhz then everything is perfectly stable (no reboots at default voltage). Id appreciate any help thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
No deep idle in the kernel, do not use screen off max freq.

Init.d is to set options on boot before android is booted.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
That just mean that your phone cannot handle bus overclocking. Nothing I can do for you.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
I just install the busybox installer and installed busybox. I granted su privileges now i assume i need to restart to set the options.

Just want to say again, great job!

Too bad you can't return it to sprint. I can see it now....

You...Excuse me. I would like to return my phone for a replacement.

Sprint... Why, what's the matter with your phone? Did you try a factory reset?

You... You see I've rooted my phone but it still won't overclock correctly. Can I return it for a refurb?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mayoko185:
Haha ill be honest the thought did cross my mind and I do pay $8 for the warranty... so I could go in and lie and say something is wrong with it. But nah otherwise the phone works great and im able to get some pretty decent under volts with the stock freqs so I wouldn't feel right doing that lol.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Acontreras86:
Just return it to stock and say it has horrible spotty service. Tell them that your friend or whoever, has the same phone as you and has better service even though you are side by side with the other ns4g user. Works all the time for me and my brother
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] treyweez11:
Damn this is a nice kernel. I'm using cm9 and I had it on performance and the highest setting no live Oc and I got 3163 on the quad score. I know it doesn't mean anything but matrix didn't even give me that. I just came from the matrix kernel 14.5 so I'm liking this and I'm gonna try it for a couple of days on 200/1100 and see how the battery life is and stuff . Nice work man.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] treyweez11:
And what do they give you?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Acontreras86:
Another ns4g or sometimes even a phone that is similar in price. They offered my brother a photon once
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Great kernel Steve just a suggestion maybe for your next version how about adding a few more governors? Like lag free, interactive X & maybe lion heart or Brazilian wax lol there's like 17 different governors! Again thanks for the kernel your hard work is much appreciated!:)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] billblack:
Is there a WIKI which describes each governor type? I have seen speculation, but not a true answer.

Thanks and I use your kernel on my daily driver!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
Not really. I was thinking on creating a thread or maybe a Google doc describing all the features possible for the kernels. I might do it at some point.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Kernel looks great about to flash it but I doubt it will support the bus clock.... can't I turn it down back to stock with root explorer? After flashing the kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
Nope. You can't change the bus clock.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Look at this thread it gives you the ins & outs on governors & other things!! :)

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
I like the documentation but disagree on most recommendations. They actually recommend smartassV2 which just kills the battery. Their recommendation on IO its not as clear cut as they make it. From their point of view it would seem that SIO is the best CFQ the worst. Yet I can see a difference between de two in my kernel.

Take recommendations with a grain of salt...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] antibox:
What IO do you recommend? What do you use.

BTW your experimental kernel with GPU OC is very fast.

How do you separate GPU OC from CPU/ bus speed?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
For me the best matches are the following:

If you use ondemand, use CFQ.

If you use Lazy, use SIO.

GPU OC does not work. The only thing that is done to provide higher FPS is to hack the refresh rate of the display panel. It's more placebo than anything though. It makes benchmarks score higher but the does not improve the speed of the system. It also makes colors washed out.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] antibox:
Has anyone else noticed erratic screen brightness when on auto?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
this is not kernel related. Its rom related.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blizzake:
Alright. Well I don't need to anyway the kernel runs amazing on my phone... which is odd because trinity makes it completely flip out. Thanks for the work and the prompt responses.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
OP Updated

New Add-on 17012012
- Change boot script to use stock voltage instead of Undervolt. *Requires busybox to be installed

So I modified my init.d installer zip to use stock voltage. That should set voltage to stock for those having problems with undervolted values. You need to flash the add-on after the kernel. Make sure that busybox is installed on your rom or this will not work. Use the "Busybox installer" app to install busybox if it is not installed.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] steve.garon:
OP Updated!

SG-NS-ICS_17012012.zip and SG-NS-ICS_17012012_HIGH_HZ.zip
- New CPU Governors: Lagfree, MinMax, Smartassv2, InteractiveX and Lulzactivev2

New Kernels where added to experimental section. Let me know if the new governors work well.

@beladus: you can benchmark the kernels if you wish but I doubt the results will change. Only the governors where added in this release. Unless you want to benchmark with other governor to see which performs the best :P
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] brianbgrp:
So...many....governors.....

But if that's all that changer I'll stick with 1401 for now. Been on it since it dropped with exc results. And I'm a 100/800 lazy user anyways. Yet to see a reason to use other settings for my use

Meaning running apps like Quadrent or Linpack or Antutu. Gives you a way to quantify a ROM/kernel's performance. They don't really mean anything in real life usage, just a way to compare e-peens ;)

I have a screen freezing after unlock or call problem for months, tried differnt things like changing ROMs, lockscreen apps but none of them worked, my screen was still unresponsive for a while after unlocking screen, then i saw senaia's post about TP Calibration and tried, the problem is gone :) so i wrote this tutorial to help the others.

I take no responsibility for any DAMAGES or BRICKED phone, do it at your own risk

WARNING: This will ERASE all of your data, applications, sd card, messages, contacts etc. so make backups of them.

Here is step by step guide

DONT FORGET TO BACKUP

1. Make a goldcard using tutorial in this thread

2. Unrar attached file to the root of Goldcard

3. Power off phone, boot to bootloader with volume down and power button pressed

4. Wait for while it will search for files

5. Then a screen will show up like

Power => Reflash

Vol-Dn => DIAG

6. Press Volume Down for Diag

7. You will see a screen asking you to put phone on a flat surface, do what it says

8. Once that is done you will see a menu about Clear S58 Data, Ignore it, pull the battery and reboot

9. Repair is done, problem should be solved now :D

This is my first tutorial for XDA, so any suggestions are welcome

Thanks to senaia, he showed how to do :)
[HTC Wildfire S] ivaxona:
IT works, finally!

I can confirm that the tutorial made by mstfkaratas is working.

Thank you, I cannot describe how much i appreciate it, my beer money is on it's way!
[HTC Wildfire S] mstfkaratas:
thanks for beer :)
[HTC Wildfire S] ivaxona:
nevermind

It seems like i got a bit too emotional on this, and my previous post was a little rushed.

The screen freezing gradually comes back in 24 hours. The waiting times become longer and longer. After i did the above steps the lag was gone, but unfortunately it comes back. Especially after i set up to sync with my google account. I also tries to make a new accont, but without success.:mad:
[HTC Wildfire S] Ko_Ka:
I had this issue but admittedly it had just about disappeared when I upgraded to 2.3.5, but still had the odd freeze when receiving a call but not as bad, I did this tutorial and have not had 1 freeze since, may I suggest your problem is hardware (digitizer) Ivaxona?
[HTC Wildfire S] mstfkaratas:
hi ivaxona your problem can be hardware related or an app you installed, i can suggest you install apps one by one and check the problem

i cant help you more than this because i am not an expert :( this solution helped more than 5 phones AFAIK

[HTC Wildfire S] ivaxona:
Hi, thanks for the response, i also thought that it may be a touchscreen problem, but it got me thinking, that how could be this possible, when after a short time it start to work absolutely perfect.

I also tried to create a new google account just for testing so the possibility of a 3rd party application causing the problem is eliminated.

I have to mention though that after i place the first call the performance response time degrades significantly. That's why i think that it could be a radio problem as well.

I have to admit that i just recently purchased this digitizer on ebay, and it looked like a second hand unit so i might jut got screwed up.

As a last try before i try to change the digitizer once again, i'll try to upgrade to 2.3.5 as it was suggested.

I'm still on a stock ROM, i suppose there is no 2.3.5 official ROM so i'll have too ROOT the phone, right?

once again thanks for your help!
