I'm sure it worked on stock ICS ROM & kernel when I updated it in December. If it won't load on Pete's, then something's a bit strange.

Regarding stability, I've never used blinking and didn't have a single issue in 8 months using it on NS and SGS. Even used it with Pete's GB kernel back in August (which had BLN and was rock stable, same as the Pete's GB ROM until ICS release).
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
You are correct it is okay on stock kernel but every other kernel even if it is based on stock will give an error saying modules can not be load. Only exception was cm7.

[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I've tried this as well.

The sound driver won't load on Pete's default kernel.

It loads properly on stock 4.0.3 ROM with the stock kernel, though.
[Nexus S Android Development] mixtapes08:
Awesome kernel... very fast even in stock. Great battery life too..

[Nexus S Android Development] kptnk:
I have just one word for thalamus's work : efficiency.
[Nexus S Android Development] kokwei:
I've been running on Pete's rom for 10 days without a single glitch /reboot / freeze. Underlying kernel is Terry Hau's SimpleKernel as BLN is a necessity for me.

Though battery life feels like stock AOSP, the stability is all worth it.

I recommend this combination if stability is your main priority.
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
Same here.. Been running it for months, and it's been rock stable.
[Nexus S Android Development] kokwei:
I wish that the battery life is better though. It is quite high, compared to the stock BB kernel.

Can I ask you a few questions:

1) What governor are you using?

2) What's your min/max frequency?

I'm on onDemand, 200/1000 mhz, with BLN on

Stability is there, but was wondering if the drain is caused by the min 200 setting.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Try using static wallpaper instead of live wallpaper and set the minimum freq to 100.

As far as I know, you couldn't set the minimum freq to 100 if you use live wallpaper.
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
I'm using the default. My min is set to 100mhz though. I am not using any apps to control bln or governor, etc., as using NS Tools doesn't allow the min to go below 200mhz. Instead I'm using busybox and just edited the appropriate script to adjustable bln/bld settings as per Terry Hau's thread for SimpleKernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
15 hours and I'll throw it on the charger. I haven't really used it too much, but I wanna give it a week to see how the battery looks by then. I've paired it with SG's kernel and it's running pretty darn well.
[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
Ok. I can't even install apps from titatnium cause it tells me no su rights. I have no problems with other modded roms.

I checked for this but i don't have "all" option. I can't use CM9 either as it wont' connect to internet with my APN's but other roms do too. I would like to stick with bugless beast.

Q: Titanium says "no root"!

A: System Setting>Apps>All

Choose SuperUser-thanks to ChainsDD>Clear Data (might have to do a Force stop)

then

choose Titanium Backup>Clear Data

start Titanium (keep in mind just to restore your own apps as described)
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Using Bugless Beast I always re-install the busybox using Busybox Free app by Stericson.

It solves all the no-root problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
Thank you. Makes sense. What's best kernel for battery life and stablility on BB rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
My favorite is actually Pete's default kernel.

It's stable, fast enough even in stock configuration compared to other tweaked custom kernels.

I don't use Ezekeel's MODs so the kernel suits me best.

But I have to find others like Steve Garon's or Netarchy's since they include Voodoo Sound driver.

I use my phone mainly for listening to music, that's why I really depend on Voodoo Sound.
[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
Cool bro. But what if i have PowerAmp app. Is voodoo sounds enhances stock music player or will it also enhance poweramp sounds cause it plays pretty damn well for my taste but if voodo is even better with poweramp then wow????
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Enhances all sound, not app based. Btw this ain't a Voodoo thread.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
What a coincidence, PowerAMP is also my favorite music player.

Yes, Voodoo Sound affects other players as well.

But actually it's a matter of preference though.

Most of my friends prefer DSP Manager + CM 9's Apollo, while I prefer this combination.

Just try it yourself and see if it fits your taste.

Anyway let's just talk about this somewhere else.

We're getting off-topic and it may not be appropriate.

[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
Ok guys. Thank you and sorry about getting off the subject a bit.

It's been a while since new build from pete came out, 16th. Hoping new build comes out soon!
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I personally think there's no need for an update in the immediate future.

The latest build is already perfect, and I mean PERFECT.

What we can hope now is Google releasing the new source code of ICS (4.0.4 or 4.0.5?).

And then let Pete cook the source and finally brings us Bugless Beast again.
[Nexus S Android Development] stewie-droid:
Oh ok. It's my first day running it so i just started testing but i flashed trinity kernel for bettery battery life, voodoo sounds and BLN so i will see how that combo works? Hope it's better. Honeslty i've tryied pixelrom 1.6 and battery life was awesome with stock kernel. Over 14-16hrs easy but it was bit laggy so i wanted to try 4.0.3 with pete's and possibly custom kernel which i'm doing now. Hope it's stable and bugless on custom kernels too.
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
Flashed the latest nightly.. Does tapping the menu button from the lockscreen unlock the phone for anyone else? I never noticed this in prior builds. Any way to disable it?
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Mine is normal.

Tapping the menu button in the lockscreen doesn't do anything.

one question... i can't upload pictures from gallery to picasa or sync picasa :confused:

anyone can help me please?

[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Yeah I know got the same problem on mine. I believe that if you remove all apps the create sync profiles (Facebook, twitter, skype ... ) and reboot your phone, upload and sync to picasa will work. Not sure if its a BuglessBeast specific problem or if its an AOSP problem...

[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Saw this on the General subforum: Nexus S (GSM) android 4.0.4 Official update (with download links !!)

I was wondering, if it is an official update from Google, that means the source code is released as well, right?

I won't flash it until Pete cook it in, though.

I really need Auto-dim backlight that this ROM has.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
That's an update with patches, so it needs the stock ROM. There is no 4.0.4 source yet, to build the ROM from source. I guess it'll take some days, good thing is that the BB is running perfectly (it's almost boring lol, same as it was on GB).

[edit] Source is ppushing out (https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/34534/), so we need to wait a bit for pete to recompile (he said on Twitter, he's busy with school work). So, be patient :]
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
The update is fast. Trying it out, and I'm impressed.

Apparently the source code for 4.0.4 is out already: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!topic/android-building/YoBlTfntDvo

But we've got to wait for Pete, though.

He's been busy with school as quoted from his Twitter 4 hours ago :(

No new #Android stuff for now, school has me quite busy. I did upload a few new pics though: flickr.com/photos/peteral…

EDIT: A good news from Pete https://twitter.com/#!/peteralfonso/status/185134653198446592

Bugless Beast with 4.0.4 source code, hell yeah I'm patiently waiting for it.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Guess what, Peter is at the moment busy merging BB with 4.0.4 source code as seen in his github.

My money is on tomorrow for the update coming.

I guess Pete is thinking about bringing us the newly-merged BB to us first, then he can concentrate on his exam.
[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
Wow, after trying out all of the ROMs here, most recently CM9. I am enjoying this! My favourite feature that is missing from CM9 is the ability to see people photos in SMS in notifications.

I do experience one minor bug however. Everytime I boot up my phone a dialog box appears saying that "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working." Then it works fine after that if I boot it up manually.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
You can just copy the MMS.apk from CM9 and use it. Nothing else is changed elsewhere, then in the MMS.apk, so it works just fine, I've been using it since first appearance in CM9 now.

Thanks for the upload!

I just tried to reflash the calendar, but the OS just ends with a "application not installed."

Titanium doesn't show me as having any calendar currently installed, and unzipping the Pete package I had did indeed show that it is in there... does anyone know why a crespo might refuse to install this one app, and one app only?

Please disregard my calendar issue, I fixed it via wipe. Thanks for making a solid compile, Pete! Its better than ever.

Yeah, full wipe is recommended to make sure, since its a version change.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I feel everything is as smooth as what BB usually brings except that the launcher is ridiculously laggy in the latest build.

Is this due to the stock 4.0.4 kernel being used, instead of Pete's optimized one?

I saw in his Twitter that Pete will include his customized kernel as usual after the source is ready.

Anyone experiences the same thing?
[Nexus S Android Development] alexxdj:
With full wipe we will loose everything on phone?
[Nexus S Android Development] freakness51:

make a backup with titanium so you can restore your apps etc after installing new version...

Brightness mod for pete's 2012-3-29 4.0.4 build

K, here's the brightness mod for GB values. I've added 2 different ones, one (ICS4.0.4_brightnessFIX.zip) has only the first value changed (from 10 to 35):

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>35</item>
<item>35</item>
<item>55</item>
<item>70</item>
<item>70</item>
<item>250</item>
</integer-array>

The other (ICS4.0.4_brightnessFIX+140.zip) is something I personally use, that has the last 70 changed to 140 (to smooth out the 70 to 250 change):

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>35</item>
<item>35</item>
<item>55</item>
<item>70</item>
<item>140</item>
<item>250</item>

Also posted the .zip for restoring to stock. Flash in CWM and only on pete's build.

Well that sounds strange ... yesterday I did a clean install over my stock rom:

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache

- format /sdcard

- format /system

Then I flashed over Pete's rom, it booted fine, and I firstly skipped the google account setup because I wasn't connected to the wifi yet.

The result of this procedure was that no google apps were present on my phone, hence my search for a gapps package.

Now, if you tell me that no gapps are needed, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance :)

I only asked if Peter has in his plans to implement these features, since the rom GB based was pure AOSP (at least until I have used), no additions present in this ICS

I don't think that feature is useless, even powernotificationwidget is present in almost all ROM. means you do not appreciate it?

AFAIK, Gapps aren't included with any AOSP source code. They're released only for a particular ROM image..and in this case the Gapps would be with the 4.0.4 image. Gapps are propeitary and AOSP is Open Source (FOSS).
