I was months ago, until I discovered SlimICS. Bugless beast was the bet gb rom, but I don't think it quite made the cut for me on ICS.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Anyone else?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cdbillups:
I've been running this months. Pete's GB ROM was the best and I think his ICS will get there soon. He's recently back from taking some time off. I run this with the Matrix kernel so that I can get the BLN and a few other cpu governors. I think Pete's GB kernel had that stuff built in so once he gets his ICS kernel up and running I'll be using it again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
I've been running it almost exclusively since March. I tried Slim and some other ROM and they were OK, but they had too many customizations for me. Honestly, I like the stock ICS feel and BB gives me extras, mostly notably hotspot.

Now that I got the market issue fixed, it's all good. If I could eke out a bit more battery life, it would be perfect, but it's still all good.

To each his own.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
I've noticed the app drawer is a bit more laggy than stock when you open the first time? I don't get why though since the min CPU on BB is 200MHZ vs 100MHZ on stock ICS...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Is ics better than gingerbread? Or is it just better aesthetically?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Gurujin:
Yes and yes.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
and no....

I'm having slight memory issues on this phone while streaming pandora and doing navigation at the same time. Debating CM 7.2 when it finally goes into "stable".

ICS is definitely way prettier and has plenty of great features. It's just that I can tell a difference in performance on a phone with as little memory as the Nexus S
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] madeincanon:
It does a ton of things better than Gingerbread. And its much more beautiful.

The real question is....why haven't you upgraded to ics yet? :O
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
i have upgraded.....gb always seemed a bit stabler for me but it could just be me......
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Haven't been on XDA in a while. Heard Pete updated his ROM, so I'm going to give it a try. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] grifforama:
The 9th's kernel feels ridiculously fast and smooth. I dont know what Pete does to the kernels but they are frickin amazing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] unomedmen1:
Or just flash : pete_battery_settings-mod.zip over the ROM to get the ICS style toggles back like I did.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
I hate you.

Latest build is amazing with stock kernel. Highly recommend NOT flashing a kernel over stock. Really nice job Pete.:thumbup:

Anyone know why I would be getting less than half speed on wifi? Side by side my Xoom gets 20mbs down but my NS4G only gets 8.5mbs down. Both are running bugless beast.

been awhile since I tried bb... gotta flash this one now
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jinsoku3g:
Where is trinity? Matrix?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
can we get some screenshots please?? i'm mainly interested in how the notification toggles look... i use those nearly every time i look at my phone lol

also, i'd so love to run this rom but i prefer my custom theme... would i be able to run these nightlies and just flash my theme after updating each nightly??
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
So I've been having terrible battery life for quite some time since flashing ICS, thought nothing of. I got home today and my battery was about to die, as usual, I plugged it in rebooted to recovery fixed permissions (force of habit) and after rebooting my battery was at 40%. I've had this happen in the past but I'm wondering how far off my battery was really. When I was running Pete's Gingerbread ROM I would constantly get 18+ hours, no matter the usage. Hopefully this is a turn around point.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Man I wish this was as fast as CM9...this is very stable.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Androidawg:
Here ya go.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
thanks guys... i'm sold... gonna flash this now... well as soon as the server feels like letting me download it, i will flash it :D

and i'm sorta guessing on my question above... since most themes include SystemUI, framework-res, settings, wimaxsettings, and other various apks that work with several ROMs... i'm assuming that i CAN just flash my theme after each nightly... kinda like people flashing the battery mods and such... i hope i'm right b/c i really LOVE my new theme haha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] drofenaz:
I'm unable to download the ROM. I get the error:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] yazeldinho:
I just updated to the 6-3 with a full wipe, and I'm having a horrible time with my radio. Jumping in and out. Also only got 3G Speedtest of 40 dl, but 400+ ul.

Any thoughts? Should I just reflash the modem?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cdbillups:
I haven't experienced that but reflashing the radio might be the way to go. Pete offers those in his download section.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] yazeldinho:
I just reflashed the LC1 radio and still getting the same. 15 dl, 550 ul this time. so strange.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Battery getting destroyed.... 50% after 4 hours....Screen time 1h 14m.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Gurujin:
Just curious. Which kernel, gov, scheduler? I am considering an overhaul, but may be discouraged if this rom not working so good with matr1x 20.0
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] LanceSandino:
yeah I was using BB for the longest time until I was sick of the battery life. I'm not sure if it was a recent update or what (don't really remember) however I know for sure I would get long battery life on gingerbread.

So i moved to cm9 and I still get the samething, only about 8 hours of life. (or less sometimes).

Anyone have similar issues? I know it's not my battery.... already tried changing it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
This is just BB stock kernel with default everything.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
Did you let the rom settle? Did you do a proper clean? What apps/functions are you using? GPS, WiFi, 4G etc.

You should look into an alternative kernel with a conservative governor to try and get your battery life up. You never know what the developer uses. Also, make sure your NFC, Google talk, and notifications for FB and other apps are disabled.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Default settings are Ondemand 1000/200. Do you guys think this ROM is snappier than Stock 4.0.4?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
Me too. I realized that after 6/3 install that it had signed me into Latitude (not sure if it was the ROM or whatever), so I signed out and it got noticably better.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

Other than governors and BLN, any other benefits to the Matrix kernel? Better overall batt life? Downsides? Thx.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cdbillups:
I use Matrix mostly for the Voodoo sounds / color profiles and the governors. I know when Pete gets his kernel for ICS built it'll most likely have the voodoo and governors I want. I also use SetCPU to enable a screen off profile. Currently running smartassV2 at 800/200 and then kicking down to smartassV2 400/200 when the screen is off. I'm also using NSTools to enable Deep Idle. I followed Skunkape's settings from the Matrix thread but changed to the smartassV2 governor instead of his suggested lazy for screen on and Wheatly for screen off. On the Wheatly and lazy governors, when I was listening to music with my screen off it would skip and lock up the phone. No issues after switching to smartassV2. I probably lose a little more battery this way over his settings but the phone is more stable. I think this morning I was at 90% after 2.5 hours off the charger. With a smartphone I figure 4-5% battery loss per hour is acceptable.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] stewa2jm:
My battery life has been really inconsistent. I'll have days where I hardly use my phone for the first half of the work day and when I pull it out at lunch it is down to 60%. Other days it is still above 80% at lunch time and I've used it during that time sending sms, emails, and so forth.

I'm running 6.3.12 and the above was true with previous builds; however, less often. Performance otherwise is as expected.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] stewa2jm:
06.09.12 build is up
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cdbillups:
I should mention that I've learned that smartassv2 has a built in screen off profile so you don't need to set a screen off profile in setcpu.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
I'm the same way. I'm really at a loss on trying to figure it out. Sometimes the phone sits warm in my pocket and I see quick drain. Sometimes I don't. I'm not 100% sure it's the ROM either, maybe an app? It's very frustrating.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] stewa2jm:
Frustrating indeed. Since the 6.9 build it seems to be better. Granted its only been three days. I suppose it could have an app problem. A lot of my apps were updated the last several days.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] skinneejay:
Where are you located? My signal in Chicago has been horrible. It's not the rom sucking the juice out of your battery.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] stewa2jm:
Grand Rapids, MI. I do have signal issues at work. However, the GB build manage it no problem.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Anybody noticed that rebooting or going to recovery using the extended power controls causes one or two bootloops occasionally?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Can anybody reproduce it? I am using stock BuglessBeast (with included kernel).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
I can try, although I'm a newb so what's "extended power controls?" Is that when you long press power, press reboot, and go into either recovery or rebooting? If that's the case, then no, I have not had any boot loops. If it's something else, then let me know and I can give it a shot.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Dunno how to explain but it's not like a full blown bootloop. I notice sometimes (not always) the Google LOGO stays ON for an extended period of time, like a mini hang (eventually boots but takes some time). However if I fully shutdown and then turn on the device, this does not happen.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] reference.phone:
Pete's default kernel issue, give the other kernel try
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Do you guys have the link to the stock 4.0.4 kernel from Google?

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Oh so this is a known issue?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] staticdata:
Just my observations after 3 days of use. No extended boot-up times, no battery issues (currently at 73% after 5hrs 18 mins with moderate use). ROM is very quick, zero lag, and of course all things we expect in Pete's ROMs; (AOKP toggles, built in torch etc and as of the 6/9 build, wifi tethering is included). Important to mention when using a freshly installed ROM I wait several days to install third-party apps (if issues related to the ROM arise they can be easily identified this way). Kernel is Pete's stock running default speeds using On-Demand as the governor. Thank you Pete for an excellent ROM!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
I have been using 6/9 build. Here are some things, good and bad:

Bad: I got your bootloop issue rasengan, happened on a complete shutdown and restart. Booted after 2 mins. As long as nothing bad is happening, I suppose I can deal with it.

I got a complete reboot while on a call (I dialed out int'ly using G-Voice). That's never happened to me before. Very weird.

Good: I have let the battery settle for a couple of days and even did a couple of full drains and charges. I have also been actively managing tasks by swiping them closed after a long press of the home button. Have seen some crazy good batt life, right now I'm down to 74% with 8.5 hours. I should also note that I installed SetCPU to actively control CPU while screen is off (still on Pete's kernel).

Will keep doing more tests.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] alaj0909:
I have been running this rom for two days, no issues to report. Great 4g reception, good battery life, very responsive rom. Best BB to date, in my opinion.

:D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
The ROM itself is really good. I am not comfortable with the bootloop issues with the kernel though. It happens the most when using the "restart/recovery" option from the extended power controls. I'm wondering if Pete is using the stock voltage values for the Nexus S. Anyways, I am waiting for a kernel bug fix release from Pete. Once the kernel is rock solid, I think this ROM will be perfect.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
6/9 with Matrix v20. I could get used to this.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MrDrumngun:
I really wish I could get battery life like that. I'm running BB stock and the most I can ever get is 2.5 hours screen on time and that's only if I'm by Wi-Fi all day with nothing syncing. I don't know how you guys do that.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
Thinking about going with the Matrix kernel to eke out some better batt life. Using 6/9. I have never swapped out kernels though. One question, if I choose to go back to Pete's kernel, do I have do a reinstall of 6/9 (or later) or is there an easier way to do it. I don't see just his kernel in the downloads, so I'm assuming that a full reinstall is necessary, but I figured that I would ask.

Thanks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] The Doctor PhD:
I'm running 6/9 with the latest Matrix (22 bfs). 200/800 OnDemand
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
It's all about deep idle.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Does anyone's GPS signal keep going in and out. I thinks it's the ROM because no matter what Kernel I use it keeps happening. I'm using the latest update 6/9.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Gurujin:
Make a nandroid backup first. Wipe davlik cache, wipe cache, flash Matr1x 22.0 bfs/cfs, reboot. If you don't like kernel, restore to your most recent nandroid backup, easy.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] EVO in OHIO:
Have had that problem in the past. Try one of the GPSFIX apps in the market. (Google Play)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] silverjack:
My battery sucks.... LOL
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
GPS Status & Toolbox from the Play Store. Menu> Tools> Manage A-GPS State> Reset. Then Menu> Tools> Manage A-GPS State> Download.

That has cleared up a lot of similar issues for me on previous phones/ROMs.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
OMG AOSP 4.1.1 BB on the GN seems to ROCK! I cannot wait for the damn binaries to be uploaded on the Google server so Pete can do his magic on the NS4G!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] aversusb:
My Nexus S4G running BB 6/9 has begun rebooting straight into CW Recovery a couple times a day. What do you think could be doing that?

I am running Kernel that comes with BB 6/9 and v5.0.2.0 version of CW Recovery
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joenathane:
Try wiping cache & dalvik cache and fixing permissions as a start, If that doesn't help try reflashing the ROM, if all that doesn't work you may need to wipe data.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] aversusb:
That was mt first troubleshoot efforts. Wipe/fix and reinstall ROM. I did look at NSTools and saw that my governor was on conservative. Don't remember switching it. Maybe my phone doesn't like it. Put on interactive and will see if it fixes the problem.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] aversusb:
Well thought that would work, but woke up late for work this morning because my phone booted into Recovery last night and my alarm didn't go off. I guess it is time for the Nuclear option. Full wipe and reinstall.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] diesburg:
Its the kernel causing these issues I'm pretty sure. I had the exact same issues with rebooting until I flashed matrix kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] aversusb:
Going to try Matrix now. V22 CFS is the safer of the two, if I remember correctly. Going to see if that works. Really don't want to burn my "upgrade" just quit yet.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
I recommend flashing thalamus kernel stable release. it's the best kernel I've flashed so far.

Pete's waiting for the binaries to drop for this device to start building JB ROMs.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] esoh:
He is not focused on it. He used to have the NS4G, but then moved on at the Galaxy Nexus. He's also working at T-mob, so his development is focused on the Galaxy Nexus and is strictly JB at this point. He has mentioned a JB port to our phone at some point I think, but who knows if we'll see it. As far as I'm concerned, the choice is to wait for BB JB for the NS4G, move to another rom (JB or ICS), or be happy with the 6/9 download.

Personally, I'm fine with the 6/9 download and I might upgrade to JB if I think it's worth it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] aversusb:
Well...did a full reinstall of 6/9 and went to MAtrix kernal and even did a GAPPS flash. Went all day without a phantom reboot into recovery. Then just sitting here, I glance over and phone rebooted into recovery by itself.

Could it be a voltage issue? A damaged hardware issue?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fwald:
My experience has been bootloops every time I tried to use the Matrix kernal. Only Peter's kernal has been stable for me.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jziggy101:
There are other ROM releases available by many Developers.

I ran Peter's roms for qute sometime and knew once he had moved to the Galaxy phone that his Crespo4g days would be behind him. I appreciate everything he did and all the time he put into the work. But I decided to move to other roms.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
Oh, ye of little faith.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wamsille:
Bugless Beast 2.3.7 is by far and away my favorite ROM for the Crespo4G. It was smooth and everything just worked. If I had the toggles from CM7.2 on it, I would stick with that until my contract is up. No, seriously. I had fewer force closures on Pete's ROM than any other, and things just worked. (Quickly)

I respect the work he put into the device and the support for Android in general. Yes, developers are going to move on to the newer devices as they are released. You have to expect that, and also respect that when it is a small dev group or a single guy behind the screen building ROMs they will eventually slow down production. Personal lives tend to do that, along with the need to get the basics covered. Food, water and shelter are more important.

If Pete releases a BB version of 4.1.1 for the Crespo4G I'll be happy. But I'm not holding my breath, no should anyone, for that to take place. Be thankful for what we have, appreciative of his hard work and move on.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onemadrssn:
Looks like Pete is leaving it up to anyone else willing to port his JB build to NS4G.

"My entire JellyBean source tree has been pushed to https://github.com/peteralfonso which means devs can now port #BuglessBeast to other devices."
