I really don't want to diss Pete, he's done a very good job with this ROM, however does anyone know if he's abandoned the development of his ROM?

I'm saying this because I haven't seen him mention any kind of work on Twitter for some time now...

And if he wants to stop development that's totally fine, I understand, and I'm sure others will too, however he should say he has quit so that other people can move on to other ROMs and not be waiting for updates and such that ain't going to happen.
[Nexus S Android Development] b1337:
I'm sure he is just busy, don't see how it really effects u on a daily basis, he doesn't have to say anything really...plenty of other roms out there cut the guy some slack
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Heh. Its pretty much perfect at this point. I'm content with it. No issues on my end. If he's in school, its probably finals time so he's probably been busy with that or, you know, life.
[Nexus S Android Development] tehgeekguy:
He posted this on Twitter a couple weeks ago. I'm sure we'll see some updates over the next few weeks.

Final exams will be over in a week. I'll be able to work on the ROM then and will also be supporting the Sprint Galaxy Nexus soon. #Android

data usage

i'm on the latest nightly - april 9 and i'm noticing that my mobile data usage doesn't update with which apps are using data. the total data usage is working though.

anyone else have this problem? i did a clean install of hte rom too.

edit: nevermind just needed a reboot
[Nexus S Android Development] pmauzao:
Hi,

i'm using the latest nightly - april 9 and i cannot send MMS.

Anyone as the same problem?

I've the APN configuration ok.
[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
Do you just want an update for a sake of an update? What do you want to be updated exactly? People are always asking for updates but what if the end goal is already perfect? What else do you want in this stock/BB rom? I think it is just what I need.

I can send and receive MMS perfectly fine on 3G. I haven't gotten it to work on WiFi however.
[Nexus S Android Development] djwyman:
ok so I am not sure if this has been asked or not but how do I get the toggles to actually show up in the drop down? I figured out how to change the settings for it but not sure how to get it to actually work.

looks like my favorite ROM of all time is no longer under development :-( ...... can anyone recommend a good alternative ?
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Why? Pete does not support nexus s anymore?:eek::eek::eek:
[Nexus S Android Development] :
He had exams recently.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
You guys might want to check Pete's Twitter.

He's seeking for a job at the moment.

He's stated that once he gets a job, he'll continue developing for Android.

In the meantime, if you want an updated alternative, I'd recommend Slim ICS by krarvind.

But if you want the similar ones (stock-like with just few MODs), go for rascarlo's Rascream Sandwich or Androiduser00110001's AOSP+ Neapolitan Flavor.

They're all amazing ROMs.
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
If you're looking for stockish ROMs, try Oxygen or rascream.

If you're looking for customizations, try AOKP or CM.

yep, life is life :p

good roms but not the same as pete's. amof, i can't recall anything which should be improved in pete's last rom. gapps can be updated from other sources, so i'm pretty fine with it.
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Oh..pete should apply at google..but im doubt he have enough time for this kind of dev after that..:p
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I totally agree with this.

The last build can be considered stable already.
[Nexus S Android Development] Highway 55:
+2. Seems people want an update just for the sake of getting an update. I am actually happy that I haven't had to flash anything other than new trinity in the last month.
[Nexus S Android Development] astmacca:
I'm using Pete's last build with Trinity TEUV. Rock solid stable, and its the only ROM i have tried for ages where MMS works properly on my phone. Many thanks to the man and hope he gets a job soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
This is my second time using Apr 09 2012 nightly and this bug has happened to me on multiple locations. Randomly, auto rotate will stop functioning and the only way to fix this is through a reboot. Anyone else experience this problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
yes, crashes i have had on this rom were all induced by the "tricky" kernels i tried

+3 ;)

amof, i haven't found THE kernel for this rom. trinity is a definite candidate but my crespo is very sensitive to cpu/gpu trickin' and trinity is always full of "surprises" (bless to morphic) :p
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Do you use Pocket app?

If so, it might be the cause.

I once had the same experience.

From my observation, Pocket app bypasses rotation lock, meaning that although you disable auto-rotation, the screen still rotates inside Pocket.

The workaround I found is to turn on auto-rotate, open Pocket, rotate the screen to landscape and then back to portrait, then close the app.

It works with me without a reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] willbeh:
I had this issue on BB 09/04/2012 and also the same on CM9 v7. If I disable auto rotate for a long period and try to enable it (from menu and also power widget), it is not working. Have to do a reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] dvdy:
I've also had this issue, mostly on AOKP but it's happened on rascream too. Maybe it's an AOSP problem

[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
Thanks for the replies. I thought I was the only one experiencing this problem.

@glennkaonang Yes, I actually do use the Pocket app and this sounds like a plausible reason for it to stop working. Though I wouldn't think that an app could have control over a system function like this. This seems plausible but I haven't been able to reproduce the bug consistently.

Does anyone know if in 4.0.4 that the auto-rotate high CPU bug has been resolved? As it's safe to enable auto-rotate without extra battery drain as was the case in 4.0.3?
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
I've noticed no difference in battery life with it off compared to on.

A Fantastic ROM for my nexus s.

thanks and thanks Dev. ;-)

[Nexus S Android Development] ranasrule:
lol its like we are stalking the guy.....
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
For me, there's no need for an update unless Google releases the new source code for 4.0.5 or 4.0.6 or whatever.

The latest build is absolutely stable.

No single problem occurs with the default kernel.

It's fast enough, and it handles all the tasks perfectly.

My suggestion would be for Pete to change the status of the latest nightly into stable.

That way less people would ask for an update.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
It really is. I've come back to it and I'm probably not flashing anything else. I've finally found a combo with Matr1x that hasn't given me stability issues. I may see how long I can run the phone without any reboots :D
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Me too. I've been trying some other ROMs but eventually I returned to this one.

I once ran it for more than 250 hours using the default kernel, but then the phone ran out of battery after using GPS navigation for more than 2 hours continuously.
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
hmm ... my crespo can reach 0.4%/h in deep sleep only. u must have done some trickin. i wonder what it was ?

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

+1
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I don't get it. Do you mean my battery life is better than yours?

Just to be clear, this 250 hours are of course achieved with charges.

I just want to show how long my phone lasted without rebooting.

Only Nokia 5110 can last 300 hours on a single charge :D :D

One thing that I do to save some more juice is using Autostarts.

Anyway, yours is awesome.

For me, having the phone last one day from a single charge is great already.

I don't want to tinker much.
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
"ach, so" i thought this 250h was achived by one charge :p

nah, crespo would last for about the same ... if kept in deep sleep only :D my other (not so smart) phone hits 2 weeks on simply but i use it for some calls and sms only.

yep, autostart is an ever must. however, i unistalled a lot of apps i never use. it also helps.

deep sleep <0.5%/h can be easily achieved with some kernels (simple, air, speedy, ...) but i haven't managed it with pete's.

+1

one charge a day is fairly acceptable for me
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Is that minimal drop with data enabled? My drain seems to have dropped a little, but it's a constant 3% an hour most times, but I think I need to keep in mind that I'm using the phone now and then, so it could possibly be less during some points in time. My phone is just bad at battery management I think.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
My advice is don't worry too much about battery life as long as it can last for around 1 day on normal use.

We can always charge the phone when it runs out of juice, but performance & stability? They have to be good out of the box. And this is exactly what I find in Bugless Beast.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Yup. I've basically just stopped caring but then I see people getting like 24hrs from a charge. I probably could with heavy modification, but like you said. This ROM is stable and at the end of the day that's all I really do care about.
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
no, this phone is bad about battery. i've got lots of phones of different types and ability but i haven't met such a week battery support ever. it's a shame for such an excellent phone like crespo. it always shocks me when i see how much it consumes by a simple phone call. i don't know how it goes for others but for me phone call is far the most demanding activity. as if it were recommended for anything but for phone calls :p
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
This probably has been asked a thousand times, but what kernel do you guys recommend? I need Voodoo sound and BLN...

I've been using Matr1x v19.5 for a while, but I noticed after having a few dozens of hours with the turned on (and some use) it starts to slow the phone down a bit.

I'm pretty sure it is a problem with the kernel, because from what I can remember when I used Pete's default kernel it ran fine.

Also, is it normal that when I go to select a video effect (one of those that distort your face) on the camera app, it crashes the Camera app? That is a problem that I'm not sure if it comes from the Matr1x kernel or BB...
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Simple kernel has BLN and Voodoo and is basically stock with those baked in. I personally went back to thalamus' kernel. Matr1x gave me another SoD even with all voltages reverted to the stock NS settings:confused:. As soon as I hit 115+ hours of uptime, the phone just doesn't wake up and I have to pull the battery. I was excited thinking I had solved it by adjusting the voltages, as I had never did that before the last time I flashed it, but sadly the kernel just does not play well with my phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
Video effect works fine on pete's rom.

Latest matrix kernel and pete's rom combo has no problem with video effect, fyi. It must be the version ur using that has problem with video effect.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Maybe I'll try those then... I have just one question, why didn't you stay on Simple Kernel and instead went back to Thalamus Kernel?

Then it's probably to do with the kernel version... I'll either upgrade it to v20 or just go with another kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
I hopped between them but for some reason thalamus' kernel kept locking my phone whenever I listened to music. It never did that before. I don't know what caused it, so I just stuck with simple kernel since it never has given me any issues.

Perhaps others who have tried it can help you.

I don't have any ad-hoc networks here at the moment.

As for the wpa_supplicant, when you take it to other ROMS, you also need to set the correct permissions to get it working properly.

[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
The problem may be with _thalamus' kernel. It's stock-ish, so it's at its best at stock settings. This is the reason your phone is now behaving at 200MHz min freq, and may also be the reason it's weird when you underclock it to 800MHz. This is just my theory though. :)
