Guys calm down. In every ROM (even the official ones) there is a possibility for problems > boot loop issues, random reboots and etc. Various problems are happening to different people. Thant's why we have community - we can discuss

and solve problems, there's no need to having quarrels. Lirankn you're look like a reasonable man but i think your post was little rude (the post which blazed the fire).
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
So I just tested the 04-04 rom and still no go. Boot looping at the Google logo :(
[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
Pete's post in twitter:

"Nexus S users having bootloop issues and know how to use fastboot, send me an email with your gtalk info if willing to help pete@android.net"

I will try to help in a couple of hours. Anybody familiar with fastboot should try to help Pete on this one.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
I'm familiar with fast boot but I'm away from my laptop a.t.m:(

Wish I could help..

[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Does the new build include a new kernel?

Did Pete put back the 100 MHz slot?

EDIT: Pete has tweeted that the new build has a new kernel (100 MHz is back), and a change in framework.

[Nexus S Android Development] mike.b93:
haha :D yeah i tweetet to ask him for any other changes :) (mike_b1993)

comming from 2 builds earlier i guess no full wipe needed?
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I could set 100 MHz as the minimum.

Are you using live wallpaper?

If so, try changing it to the static one.

I saw some people saying that live wallpaper requires 200 MHz as the minimum CPU frequency.

Yeah, Pete always suggests that no full wipe is required.

Only wipe cache & dalvik-cache.

Anyway, I don't know if Pete has finally listened to my report, but I can now load Voodoo Sound driver as a module using his kernel.

In the previous builds, I always got "Driver loading issue".

But now, it works well like it does in stock kernel.

Great job, Pete.
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
I had 03_29_12 and flashed 04_03_12 (v1), 04_03_12 (v2) and now 04_04_12 each time with only wiping cache and dalvik-cache. You'll keep all your settings and apps this way!

Anyone notice the 04_04_12 build again feels smoother?!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike.b93:
yup very smooth.. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Yes, it feels smoother.

I guess Pete make some changes that affect RAM management.

I noticed that I've got more free RAM in the latest build.

In the previous build, I used to get around 130-135 of free RAM after a fresh boot.

In the latest build, however, I've got around 165-170 of free RAM after a fresh boot.

These are all of course with the same applications I have on my phone.

Bugless Beast is getting better than ever!
[Nexus S Android Development] WildeRNS:
hello, can someone tell, if a bug with green/yellow tint when device power on/off, i mean AMOLED-verion phones?
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
nope..no with Bugless Beast...
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
thats a voodoo colour issue. Pete doesnt have that.
[Nexus S Android Development] WildeRNS:
i know :)

what you mean? Pete apply fix? or voodoo-settings missing? please write detailed.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Sh*t man, I thought I could set the minimum to 100 MHz, but apparently it's stuck at 200.

I guess this would be an issue to the kernel.

EDIT: Pete has just confirmed this: @GlennKaonang I had to remove the code that allowed setting 100, it was causing issues as well
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
its based on a stock rom. No Voodoo colours/settings in the rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] WildeRNS:
i understand, but if i use voodoo control app and change gamma, bug will be present or not? some dev aplly patch to kernelm what fix this bug, this is why I ask.

I'm still on 3/29 build. Any bugs on that ROM as it's rock solid for me using Air Kernel 3.8 with voodoo colors. Honestly Air Kernel is awesome and adjustmenets in colors to punchy settings from this forum brough this screen even more to life. Battery life on that kernel is awesome too.

Should i upgrade to 4/4. I have 100mhz as lowest as that's kernel not rom function and using nstools. Really awesome combination. Just wondering if it's worth for me to reformat everything as upgrades don't really work well as it brakes titanium and few other apps.

thoughts?

yahoo mail sync not working

YAHOO mail sync can not be added to sync on any builds.

I'm assuming it's same issue why facebook sync can not be added as well.

Pete any way to fix this.
[Nexus S Android Development] kokwei:
It crashed on me as well but works well after disabling Developer Options -> Force 2G GPU Acceleration. See if it helps.
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
for those interested, go to pixel rom thread and go to wp's mirror.

you will find Peter's BB rom tweaked to support bigmem mod by morfic.

flash trinity kernel of your preference on it and you have 388mb total RAM!

and of course, with wp's fix, video recording/playback works with no problem...at least so far. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
That one it is still based on the 04-03 build of BB which had the boot issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Thanks. I figured I'd end up having to do this eventually.
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
doesn't matter coz you will need to flash corresponding bigmem supporting kernel like trinity anyway to get the extra ram.

afaik the boot loop only happens with pete's stock kernel from what i've experienced.
[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
Currently flashed the 04042012 nightly over the 03292012 nightly and everything is fine as far as I know! I can't really comment if it's smoother as others say (placebo effect of flashing new ROM != faster) and I don't see a memory increase.

Noteworthy mentions:

Can't set min frequency to 100 MHz

Random Bootloops definitely fixed!

Bummer I can't set it to 100 MHz. Definitely a battery saving technique if allowed.

EDIT: Seems I CAN edit the min frequency via NSTools but not using the built in settings under Developer Options > Performance
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
That's true. However, as tempted as I am to experiment with other kernels, I promised myself to stick with Pete's default one :) . In the past 10 days I spent more time flashing roms and kernels than actually using the phone.

Finally I came to the conclusion that running all those highly customized and tweaked roms/kernels, greatly effects stability which I'm not willing to sacrifice just to get a slightly higher Quadrant score or a blinking notification.

Pets's rom does the job for me and I'll stick with it as long as that's the case ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] saranyan:
Just had a random freeze with the latest nightly. Stock kernel. Screen Was continously on for like thirty minutes.

Very surprising considering that it's Pete s rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
That's exactly why I've stuck to Simple Kernel. It's STOCK with only bln and bld added, so it's just as stable as Pete's.. But no bootloop.
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Strange...latest nightly rock stable and amazing battery life for me

Flashed this ROM for the first time this afternoon, and I've got to say, I love it!

I don't know if it's 4.0.4 (since this is my first 4.0.4 ROM), or it's really the work of Pete's ROM, but it's really smooth and fast, and everything that I've tried so far works very well without problems.

Just one question, and this probably has been asked millions of times before, but what is a good kernel to use with this ROM?

I need a kernel with Voodoo and BLN, and stable. However any other perfomance/battery optimizations are welcome, as long it stays stable.
[Nexus S Android Development] b1337:
check the many kernel threads in this same dev section...
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Yes I know, I already even have some mind, however I would like to see some personal experiencie from users of this ROM...
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I personally use Pete's included kernel.

I only need Voodoo Sound so I just load the driver as a module using the Voodoo Sound Plus app.

If you'd like to have those you mentioned, try SimpleKernel by terryhau.

It's basically stock 4.0.4 with BLN & Voodoo.

Some users of this ROM have been pretty satisfied with this combo.
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
I'm on Pete's 04-04 nightly and everything is smooth and fast,only thing i missing from Pete's kernel is BLN.I tried many kernels out there but none of them is so perfect as Pete's.So for me BLN is the thing that is missing from the perfect "Bugless Beast Experience".
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
What do you mean? Were other kernels unstable for you? Which did you try, if you don't mind me asking?
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
Reboots on Glados,poor battery life on Air and Speedy,Simple kernel is just stock with BLN and slow too,with Matr1x and Steve Garon's i had no problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Well why don't you use Matr1x instead of the stock Pete's kernel? Just curious...

Besides those new Gapps, the full processor options are back in the 04_05 build. Are those the only changes? Runs smooth as ever!
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Can you set the minimum to 100 MHz?

I haven't got the time to download.

Anyway I am hoping to see an advanced settings for Automatic Backlight (like the one in CM where we can actually adjust the brightness levels to our liking).

Using Auto Brightness and Auto-dim Backlight in this ROM has been pretty good, but I sometimes feel the screen is too dim or to bright.

I've tried using Screen Filter app, but it sucks.

After enabling it for some hours then disabling it, I found that Auto Brightness stopped working no matter what I did.

I needed to reboot my phone to get it back to work.

[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
Not likely... it would probably cause other problems and make the overall experience worse and less stable.

Pete's default kernel is becoming really good....but i still consider Thalamus kernel better (IMO) :

Usually posted here : http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=2275

so smooth, Ultra stable, battery friendly
[Nexus S Android Development] y3mita:
But thalamus doesn't have BIGMEM and voodoo support? <most needed tweaks users look for>
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
Nope. It even doesn't have back light mods. Thamalus kernel is for people who want stock, stable, and fast.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Eh ?
[Nexus S Android Development] djjonastybe:
Does pete's bugless rom have lulzactive or bln?
[Nexus S Android Development] kptnk:
Not all users are looking for these tweaks...and i must say (off topic here) that after having use a lot CM9 with Trinity kernels for example, I don't really see the point with all this "Bigmem stuff" ....but all this a matter of personal use, right ?
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
those are kernel dependent. if you flash kernels that support those, yes, pete will work fine with them.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
No, it doesn't.

But you can always flash a custom kernel that have those you want like matr1x & trinity to mention some.
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
more memory never hurts, especially if it doesn't break anything else. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] kptnk:
You'll have these with kernels ; speedy for example has bln and Lulzactiv...

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

right, it doesn't hurt, but if you don't use it, it's still useless...:D....anyway, sorry for the off topic.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Oh, didn't seem like it, I thought you were on Pete's stock. Anyways good to know it's working good for you :) I want to try it, but I don't know if I should wait until Matr1x gets updated to use the new 4.0.4 kernel...

And new builds already, pretty awesome... Considering I already have Pete's ROM installed and want to upgrade to a new build, how do I update while keeping my files/game saves/etc?
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
That question has been answered like 20 times if you take the time to read precious posts... *sigh*

Anyway; only wipe cache and dalvik-cache before installing the new .zip and you'll keep all your settings and apps!

you can disable rotation in the settings. Theres a toggle for it as well if you need to do it quickly.
[Nexus S Android Development] HiGGzZ:
that's for forcing "portait mode" aka 0°... here I would like to keep rotation for 90° and 270°. So when u are in landscape and put ur phone upside down it stays in landscape, just like the stock rom in fact.

Loving this ROM on Nexus S and Xoom :D

Is it possible to do one minor tweak? Cyanogen Alpha lit up the buttons whenever I had new notifications. So it would be like a notification light. Could you implement this as well in the crespo builds?

[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Still on 3/29. I ran it for about 5 days and made a nandroid backup. I went and flashed another kernel and got continuous bootloops even after a battery pull and reboot. It's weird because our phones all act differently with the same setups.

[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
It's not a fix.. It's a hack.. This is a stock rom. Why would he make it compatible with hacked kernels?
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
@uansari1

Bugless Beast is a custom rom. Stock rom is only from Google. And why say no to extra ram? "Biggermem" has no problem regarding stability or performance. There's no harm getting extra ram.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I guess Pete would consider adding extra RAM that will work with his own kernel (without the need of flashing a custom kernel).

I'd love to see it, though.

Extra RAM wouldn't hurt anyone if it's properly supported and available out of the box (like the one I see in Slim ICS)
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Is there any good technical explanation how the bigmem hack is achieved somewhere online ? I've found the commit how it's done, but I'd like to know the details, been looking for it on Google with no results.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I don't know, man.

Perhaps you could try asking KalimochoAz or krarvind or simms.

Anyone have a mirror for the latest bugless beast ?? There is soemthing wrong with the site they are hosted on .. I can not download from there anymore
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
If it's anything like the bigmem hack for the Nexus One, it takes ram allocated for the GPU and reallocates it for the system. Don't know about you guys, but I enjoy gaming on my phone and if that's where the RAM is taken from, I'll be moving to another ROM after sticking to BB for over a year on two phones.
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
Nope, biggermem takes its ram from camcorder. Also what we are requesting is bigmem-fix not bigmem for BB's kernel. That bigmem-fix let's us not have FC in camcorder, video, and YouTube.
