i'm about to try another kernal... i just started the phone with the included kernal... gonna flash air 3.6 now

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

flashed a new kernal and wifi works now!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cyburke:
nope. no new kernel.

edit: new kernel did the trick.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Strange...I have stock kernel.

Can you try a different kernel please?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] crucial929:
Yeah new kernel fixed my wifi also
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] localpagefirst:
NS4G does not boot at all

Help tried 4 times with or with out new kernel
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Strange...let me check my source folder setup and see what is wrong.

Sorry guys.

I guess if you want 1.5.5 just flash a different kernel for the time being.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
you didn't include a boot img -________- i had to flash another rom first
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
no worries... i always flash a new kernal on any ROM i run anyways lol...

while you're at it, if you want check out that clock xml and make the center one transparent so if someone chooses it won't have that black background... i've done this on your previous ROM w/o any ill side effects!!

mine has stock bootanimation... i had a custom one b4 some i'm certain that this one has it b/c it replaced that custom one i had!!

**edit** silly me, i didn't realize you were talking about the boot image and not the animation lol... but either way mine booted fine...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cyburke:
heh... noticed this too.

i am using a trinity kernel - when it first boots, before i slide to unlock, everything is incredible hulk green. after i unlock i have to swipe around, open the camera, etc, before it reverts 'normal' colors.

any ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] localpagefirst:
Ditto

At least for the NS4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
I have boot.img in my file...

Did you guys download from direct link or Codename ROM Utility?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
I wiped data/factory 2x

wipe dalvik

format system

format boot

then installed and it won't boot, says there is no boot img.

I did this 3 times just to make sure.

I had to install 1.4 then 1.5

ns4g
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enosh816:
thanks for your work man, Love this rom. Can't wait to flash this new one. waiting for battery to charge.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
<scratches head> I was confused a few posts ago but now I am totally confused :)

Let me try to figure out what is going on because I have a boot.img in my zip and just downloaded the ROM again and it has a boot.img
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
i downloaded the NS4G file and installed fine... out of curiosity, i opened up the file i downloaded and took this snapshot... i downloaded from the link on this thread, not through CNA Utility!

something i just noticed is the keyboard is cut off at the bottom with the navi buttons turned on... here's an image showing that AND the black background on the centered clock!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] localpagefirst:
Ditto

Thanks Now I know I am not crazy
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DrHax:
I can confirm no Wi-Fi using included kernel. Installed Matr1x 18.0 and Wi-Fi works.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
Also, My apps aren't restoring themselves with sync? My contacts and everything are restored, but the apps aren't reinstalling like they normally do.

Aside from the boot problem and this, seems good!

Wi-fi is working for me on stock kernel. *scratches head*
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
mine took a while... but it started and installed all my apps like normal... try going into the settings for that account and refreshing/syncing manually!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] localpagefirst:
Are you using CWM 5.0.2.3

Are you using CWM 5.0.2.3
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
I believe it's 5.8.0.2 it's the touch recovery.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] localpagefirst:
Thanks

Was trying to figure this out
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Formatting boot does play tricks with wifi.

Thanks. I usually do not format boot.

Pulling ROM for now and fixing it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
glad i got it and can apply the updates to the theme :D

mine works fine other than the few things i mentioned earlier which most were fixable on my end anyways!! the keyboard part i can't fix on my end tho... have a look up at the image i posted a few posts up if you're confused!! just trying to make this better, not complaining!!

---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

line 19 on res\layout\statusbar.xml changes the black background on the centered clock... just to make ur life easier :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
Mine doesnt boot either blah.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
If you need someone to help you test shoot me a PM
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
i'll take this down if the OP wants me to... but since it was originally posted by him, i think it's ok... add this boot.img to the .zip file for 1.5.5 and it should boot fine... it's the one included in the file i downloaded for 1.5.5!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
mine had the boot img file there though.

i flashed m4 and wiped data, cache, dalvik, system and NOT boot, and then flashed this and it works now. But yeah I already had the same file in the zip, same size and all.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
Grrr so the nex4g download was taken down!?

:( was really looking forward to downloading it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
working on a new build now...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
Cool! Not to nag or badger, any eta of new build?

Ps thanks for all your work!!!!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
nice work... i really commend you on this!! i looked into building a ROM and decided that my hardware on my comp would probably take +25hrs to build lol... at least i don't need much for themeing haha...

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

well considering what it takes to build an ICS ROM, i'm sure it won't be an immediate thing... even if he makes the necessary changes/fixes to the files... just building it will take a minimum of about 30mins with a computer that has 16GB RAM and quad-core processors... so do the math if he's not building on something like that... plus testing, plus uploading... i'd say check back tomorrow at the earliest!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Maybe within 1/2 hour if things go well.

Thanks!!!

Takes a monster of a system to build. If you setup .ccache properly then it is pretty quick after first initial build.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
thanks but i'm not good with terminal stuff (or Linux for that matter lol) and finding tutorials online isn't easy... and setting stuff up for me is the hardest part lol... i didn't even setup my APKManager to do themeing haha... my comp is old anyways... maxed out with a while 2GB of RAM lol... the only thing saving this comp right now is the 3.2GHz processor!!

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

can you see about fixing the "navigation button" option? it doesn't automatically appear when i set it... i have to restart systemui for it to show up! this only happens on the initial setup i believe... so it might not be a big deal but some people might get stuck at that part if they don't know to restart systemui
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
still no dice. Enabled disabled, rebooted twice.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
how different is your new build going to be from 1.5.5? Just curious as to I already got it up and running.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] crucial929:
I can't get any screen rotation working ..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
Mine works fine
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] crucial929:
Toggled it and restarted and it started working ... I donno lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
I noticed the same wifi problem. Checked my kernel after install. Noticed it was still matrix 18(instead if going back to stick after the factory reset) . Decided to reflash m18, and poof the wifi was working just fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
This morning I am noticing that my internal storage has doubled... Anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
1.5.5 is back up and all should be fine now.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wheeqo:
Upgrade from 1.4.0 also need full wipe??
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
Do we need to reflash?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
so Gapps is included and we should not format the boot?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] kereams:
Thanks!

If the GApps are baked into the ROM now perhaps you could edit the original post to alleviate any future confusion and repeat of the same question over and over.

Great work by the way! Favorite ROM, best scores and most stable for me!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
I am always going to suggest to do a full wipe.

No need to reflash if you have 1.5.5. working with wifi.

GApps are now included. A very basic version, what can be found in market has been removed from ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
New NS4G link is straight now. So far, everything working well. Wifi is good.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
Is the codename kernel included?

Sent from my IceCreamSammich Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
Anybody else getting random reboots and fc's
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
im just gonna say re download, wipe data, cache, dalvik then format boot and system. Flash the newly downloaded 1.5.5. if you want a custom kernel, flash air 3.6 it works so well with this rom it's my first so far stable setup
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] r_tarandus:
Fixed:

Ringtones not repeating themselves during a call

MMS sending/receiving while WiFi is on!

Not Fixed:

SMS Splitting

Notes:

No random reboots or force closes

WiFi works perfectly with stock AND custom kernels

I obviously spend a lot of time in the Messaging app. It's frustrating that SMS splitting doesn't work. There's the option to turn it on and to add the counter, but it just doesn't work. When approaching 160 chars, it counts down to 0, then you can't insert any more characters.

I've wiped re-flashed it twice now.

Thank you, as ALWAYS, for your continuous hard work! All the added features are always awesome.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
When ever I flash air kernel my system like stops working and my wifi hotspot doesn't work and yeah, any advice?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] r_tarandus:
Go for a different kernel? I've used both SG-NS-ICS and matr1x. Both are awesome.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SurgeonKyle:
I also have the latest air kernel installed, except in my case it works perfectly fine with 1.5.5 no issues at all with my system.

Have you tried doing a proper full wipe then installing 1.5.5 and the kernel?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
Here's what I did I wiped all, I formatted the four things wiped Dalvik did a factory reset and everything then I booted on signed in and ran a restore with titanium back up then I wiped cache and dalvik and I flashed air and everything stopped working
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SurgeonKyle:
Ah, I flashed air before ever first booting into my system and haven't encountered a single problem. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem doing the same thing.

Yup been running the air kernel for a while and I have no issues to report on my end. As for battery life it seems consistent.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ChrisP526:
Thanks man! Downloading and installing now! Been waitin for this a while :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
ok i was doing voodoo with no boot, have you tested the battery life on air compared to the batt life on the CNA kernal?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sevoh:
Sooooooo smmmmoooootttthhhhhh and fast!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Crowsby:
Thanks for the hard work!

I'm bumping into an odd issue with my upgrade. It looks like the space my apps are taking up is getting doubled somehow, or some other file is taking up a bunch of space. I've got about 400MB of apps on my phone, but after finishing my upgrade and restore, it's showing nearly 900MB. Here's what I'm doing; maybe someone can point out what I'm doing wrong?

Running Codename 1.4.0 / Matrix 17.5

1- Perform backup with ClockworkMod

2- Full wipe / Factory Reset

3- Flash Codename 1.5.5 rom

4- Reboot

5- CM > Advanced Recovery > Restore Data Partition

6- Clear Cache / Dalvik

7- Flash Matrix 18.0 (tried BFS/CFS)

And blammo, hit with the "Running out of room" error.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pavanmaverick:
Lockscreen icons...

Quick clarification: In the octalock, do you now see the proper icons of custom apps?

Thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iPrism:
Has anyone ran a benchmark on 1.5.5? If so what score did you get?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
Nobody else is having the issue of an increase of use of internal storage??? I seriously went from something around 380mb to 696mb just moving from 1.4.0 to 1.5.5... I have no clue what could be going on... I certainly didn't add any more apps... Anybody have an explanation? Or what I can do to fix it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Crowsby:
Nope, I've got that going on too. Lookie two posts up :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] stellar:
Try a full wipe? Data/factory reset in CM then wipe dalvik then go to mount and format system and boot, it seems like you weren't doing a full wipe lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enosh816:
I don't think you can do the data restore. It was running fine for me until I did that. try using rom manager or titanium to restore app data.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
Sorry didn't catch that... Sometimes I think tapatalk doesn't refresh as my heart as it should....
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
I just let mine repopulate from the backup on my Google acct.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enosh816:
does it restore the app data when you do that.

I'm going to wait till the new ROM is themed before I go back. I checked it out for a minute and loved it. Might not even need a custom kernel with it.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Crowsby:
Ah, thanks! I was under the impression that 'wipe data/factory reset' hit those partitions too. I'll give that a shot tonight.

Any recommendations for restoring the data? I've always just gone to advanced > restore data partition, and it's been fine in the past. I've looked into Titanium Backup and Restore, but according to the Market it's not compatible with the Nexus S 4g.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
No it does not restore the data. And Did not know that until today ;) lesson learned..?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enosh816:
I wasn't having any luck getting data to restore. I went back to my backup of 1.4 and did a fresh app and data backup on rom toolbox. Hope it works when I do flash 1.5.5 but again I'm waiting till it gets themed. Maybe someone will have a way to restore data NY then.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] stellar:
Personally to restore data I just use titanium backup, it should work fine for the NS4G. I never use the advance data restore though, I think it can cause some problems when you come from a different ROM or build, plus Androiduser recommends a full wipe if your coming to 1.5.5 ;D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Only use Titanium Backup to restore market app data.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
Out of curiosity, what happens if you do apps?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
hopefully soon :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Can cause problems depending on situation. I don't ever use Titanium backup or anything like that. I wipe everything, flash ROM, let market download all my apps and then just enter whatever data apps need. It takes a little bit more time than using a backup/restore program but possibly with a lot less problems.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cyburke:
I would love to do this also but my apps *never restore automagically via the network... any idea why? The only time I've ever witnessed this happen was on my install of ICS to my HP Touchpad. :-/
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
You get your apps & data back. :cool:

System apps are where you can run into trouble. I restore call storage (data only), SMS storage (data only), Bluetooth pairings, and wifi access points (if Google didn't restore them for me). Then I restore all my user apps & data, and then open each Google app so it can reauth. Sometimes I also fix permissions just for kicks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Crowsby:
I tried it again with the "full" full wipe this time around; factory reset, caches, dalvik, system & boot partitions, and it looks like there's still something mysterious eating up a big hunk of space in the internal storage after doing an advance restore > restore data.

Imma give Titanium Backup a shot at it via restoring app data as suggested.

The one odd thing is that toothmkr57 was saying that he just did a restore via Market and ended up missing space as well.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
I'm having a lot of issues with this rom I wiped all and installed and kept getting fore closes and random reboots so I wiped all again and installed, now my hard keys are having issues, this time I'm going to wipe all and not restore system data from titanium will report back
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TransWarp:
I used MyBackup Pro instead of Titanium and also saw internal storage went down. Digging into the file system, it looks like any app that was restored by Market got duplicated with the MyBackup restore in /data/app. I think this is the first time I let Market restore automatically so I can't say this is a new occurrence.

So I have a "com.yelp.android.apk" and "com.yelp.android-1.apk". Deleting the -1.apk causes the app to initially fail. But they work fine after a reboot. No biggie. I just used adb to delete all *-1.apk

This ROM has been running great! Thanks AndroidUser for all your hard work!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Dqm56:
Someone please help! I have down complete wipes 3 different times to get this rom running , on the third time(current) I restored nothing but user apps, whenever I reboot it powers on for a little then it just quits straight to e boot animation and it just loops, can someone please help!!! If I d a battery pull I can get it in but I have constant random reboots almost a boot loop

---------- Post added 16th March 2012 at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was 15th March 2012 at 11:54 PM ----------

Amidst my random reboots I turned off set at boot for processor I was running 200/800 and I got almost a boot loop....... Gonna try air kernel and see if it can handle 200/800
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Moecephus:
Flashed from 1.4 to 1.5.5. No problems I can see as of yet. Did full wipe. Apps fully restored themselves and no boot loops, no FC's, nothing but butter here.

Oh...flashed matrix 18.0 kernel, min 400/max 1460 with performance gov.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
I along with others are having the problem with the market not automatically resotring my apps. I know they are there because when i look on my google dashboard it says i have 68 installed apps, they just don't reinstall themselves. I've tried turning off sync and turning it back on, but that didn't do anything either. Any ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
I have seen this on other new/updated roms as well. I am starting to wonder if the update to play store and the fact that the gapps haven't updated to play store yet has anything to do with it. It seems like Google restore is trying to install the apps but it's failing. All of the error codes I'm getting are from the market not Google.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
I have had not any issues restoring apps from Market. I add my email info in the initial setup screen and once I am in Launcher my apps start downloading. When I add another account info the apps for that account will start downloading too.

Are you guys adding anything to the ROM zip before installing?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jcarlm:
Running as smooth as can be. Not a single problem and this is the best rom I've used yet. Running with matrix 18 lazy 800/200 and screen off wheatly 400/200.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Robertleehadley:
This is my favorite rom hands down. The update is beautifull. Messing with some of the custom hacks you got in here....will report back soon! Thank you so much for making this crappy phone run flawlessly.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
It's crazy how slow the server has become but also cool at the same time that there are so many users.

We would hate to make the free app only be used for ROM updates and then have the paid app for everything else but with the server demands we may just have to do that sooner than we expected.

Trying to work on server now but it is soooo slow...

---

On a side note, there is a Calendar patch on CNA ROM Utility that will resolve issues with exchange server.

Just copied and pasted most of that.

Thanks for all the kind words!

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
If you applied the first Calender patch there was a small issue.

Original cal_1.5.5_patch.zip had a bug in where it deleted more files than needed to be deleted. Download cal_1.5.5_patch.zip again, flash and all should be fixed.

If you did not download cal_1.5.5_patch.zip then just use the new patch with file name cal_1.5.5_patch-2.zip. They are both on the CNA ROM Utility now.

Sorry for the mix up.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Hello Everyone,

Sometime from now till the end of the weekend the CNA ROM Utility will be going through some changes.

The basic version will only allow you to download the ROM, GApps if need be and patches for ROM.

The premium version will have all the above plus all the extra add ons. Everyone who donated will receive a link for the updated version so keep an eye out for the email. It will come to the email address that you used for PayPal.

We are sorry to do this but the costs for servers and devices are starting to add up and some of us are using our personal money to cover the expenses . In the past 36 hours we've gone through .78TB of data and the server is so bogged down right now that it makes it almost impossible to do anything on it.

We are looking for a server that has a Gigabit connection for a decent price so if you can help out with a server that would be great too.

Thanks!
