What's new in CM9 cam app worth doing this?
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Besides for the power button shutter, nothing. Not really worth it considering the rad camera apps available.

[Nexus S Android Development] xjerlzx:
okay ha has thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Blizk:
Volume music controls, T9 dialer and camera power shutter would be nice to see in your rom. I think those are only things worth rooting.

No bugs or FCs exist.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Power shutter works ? Interesting, I've been checking the github commits and it needs some stuff changed in framework also, but haven't tried without. Thanks for the tip :]
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
The reboot menu does pop up after a long press though. But it works.

Pete listened to my low brightness tip, so I won't need to change the framework in newer builds. :] Finally, levels like on GB.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
when is there coming a new build?
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Some changes have been commited right now, so maybe tonight.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I saw also the kernel is updated.

I wonder if Pete would add usual MODs other kernels have.

I personally think it's just updated in terms of performance, though.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
I doubt it, Pete keeps it very stock, and to be honest I prefer it that way, he's likely fixed the bootlooping when plugged in via USB or AC as well. It's the only thing which bothers me about the rom.

Must be honest, without BB, upgrading to ICS would've almost disappointed me. Hopefully the ota drops soon, because the NS feels like it's struggling, just a touch. Played with a Galaxy Nexus today, such a difference. But I have, albeit dwindling, faith in Google to finally do Nexus owners right.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I also prefer how Pete keeps BB close to stock.

Anyway I personally hope that when the OTA drops, the source code follows soon.

Then, we can have new flavors of BB :D
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
I also love BB the way it is. The only option that misses is to enabke KSM in some kernels.

I love the toggles in statusbar, they're more beautiful than the aokp ones. (If you set the style on icon style in aokp eg the wifi icon is too big (UGLY))
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Ah yeah, guess that's whats fixed in the framework.
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
Changelog please !
[Nexus S Android Development] b1337:
learn how to use the internet please!
[Nexus S Android Development] kokwei:
Could you point me to the place where I could learn to do this myself? Is it as simple as copying the dialer apk (from a CM9 ROM) into /system/app ?

Pete's std kernel is so far rock stable. I try not to flash a custom kernel as much as possible.
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
Thanks for the advice,you're very kind :(

[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Can't get the new build to boot on my device with the default kernel, flashed Thalamus' and it boots fine. It seems the baseband has changed as well to XXKF1, but feels pretty snappy. We shall see.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Mine boots fine with the default kernel.

I found a problem, though.

I'm getting FCs when opening Storage under Settings.

I have tried doing a clean install but the problem persists.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Very strange. Has your baseband changed and can you reboot the phone successfully with the USB plugged in? I may have to redownload it.

edit: I can confirm the FCs when selection Storage.

Back to 16 Feb build. Still the best IMO.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
My baseband is KI1 that came with the stock ICS.

I have never changed the baseband, though.

Yes, I can reboot my phone with the USB plugged in.
[Nexus S Android Development] sean1984:
i had booting problem too with rom until i changed kernel but it didnt change my baseband and i am also getting force close on storage
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
FC on pressing storage confirmed, even after reboots...
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
is it just me? the changelog doesn't look updated for this release..

would aomeone be so kind as to list what changed for this release over previous one?
[Nexus S Android Development] climhz:
just look into his github:

-Allow no media notification to be dismissed

-Increase system partition size

-Settings - Fix Google typo in utility function

-Added/Changed the labels for USB Storage to reflect USB storage instead of SD card

-Remove the no media notification

-Update Market, Maps, Music, Books, & Videos apps

-Fix alignment of add number of toggles in toggle layout.

-Add sanity check for battery capacity range.

-Increase min brightness as per request

-New kernel prebuilt
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
New min brightness sucks. The auto brightness was just fine in Pete's rom. I'm debating to go back to older build now. Beside most of the changelog you've listed don't even affect our phone...
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Noticed the same thing. Most of the roms which are being released are still pretty hit and miss. Back on rooted stock and I'll be honest, it's pretty damn slick with thalamus' kernel. Will be back once issues have been ironed out.

[Nexus S Android Development] climhz:
it's 7pm here, how could my post wake u up? xda notification? :D
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
It's the same level as on GB.
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Nah don't worry, my alarm woke me up...

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

It can't be. I don't remember GB being that bright. In a completely dark room it gets really annoying. It like staring at a car headlights! Beside that is gonna kill the battery when you use it at night since the light level is 3.5x more than previously. I actually went back to previous rom and its much better. It's not good for your eyes to stare at a display too bright while in the dark.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I agree.

I also went back to the previous build because of this.

I was in my bedroom XDA-ing through its app with the lights off, and yeah it blinded my eyes.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
You can check the values yourself: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23233499&postcount=303 . The lowest value is now 35, same as it was on GB and same as it's the 2nd level on ICS. You just think it's "too bright" because you got used to it on ICS.

Regarding battery % or "blindness", you have to think about how much is it worth to you to have a slightly (and that's really ****ing slightly) increased usage vs. total ****ing worthless display on <30 lux (which is a room with little lamp on). I agree that the brightness levels are debatable and unless Google ****ing ships with a ability to train your sensor levels, no one will be happy. But those settings now are same as on GB and I don't remember ppl with pitchforks in 2011 screaming "OMG my eyez".
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
The thing is even if the level are the same in the software, you don't account for the fact the something might have changed at the kernel level. If anything changed in the drivers for the display panel or the light sensor, the software values mean nothing when you compare them to GB. Lowest settings should be low because they should be made when the sensor gets absolutely no light. I think the real problem here is that the second step requires too much lux to kick in.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Sure, but waiting for Google to address it makes no sense either.

And BTW, I compared GB and ICS brightness levels on my ICS NS, while cousin had GB on this NS (didnt receive OTA, I manually flashed it). The 2nd ICS level was the same as 1st on GB (the 35 one).
[Nexus S Android Development] BuglessPete:
New build is up. Storage FC is fixed and bootloop when rebooting phone while plugged in is fixed.
[Nexus S Android Development] alexxdj:
Can we use battery mode form 2 march for this release?
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Love Love Love the latest ROM from pete alfonso..

dalvik-wiper(thanks morfic)

install 15-03-2012 bulild

dalvik -wiper

install matr1x kernel V18 CFS..

very smooth with good battery life....
[Nexus S Android Development] marinierb:
I won't flash the new build because of this change (brightness levels). I love this ROM because it's supposed to have very few mods. I'm disappointed.
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
Sorry to say but disappointed as well.

-edit-

Pete's 03_15_12 fix seems to be good! Keeping this and a nandroid of CM9 in case of any other issues. The brightness is not bothering me, yet!
[Nexus S Android Development] :
For the brightness I use lux from market with 5 on backlight zero point. Perfect balance between day and night.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Except it still blocks the OK on PackageInstaller & is too slow on changing the brightness.
[Nexus S Android Development] veagles:
Going back to a previous build because of the brightness change. :(
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Whats the matter with brightness?
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
The minimum brightness level is increased.

It's now as bright as in GB, which is too bright for me.

I'm still running 3rd March build because I personally can't stand brighter screen.
[Nexus S Android Development] climhz:
i'm okay with old brightness level at low light but it should be brighter at outdoor light
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
That's the max of our screens :]
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I finally am able to edit the arrays.xml inside framework-res.apk to set the minimum brightness value like in the previous build.

It looks better IMO.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
I still can't boot with USB or AC connected with the default kernel, but luckily I have thalamus' to sort that out.

RE: the auto brightness. I live in a super sunny country, so the brighter the better in my opinion. when I'm home I put it on dim anyways, so now when I head out I have no worries about not being able to see what's up on my screen.

Thanks Pete!
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Getting some crazy bad battery life with the overly bright screen now.

Haven't really done anything with the phone since unplugging it this morning.

crespo_03-15-12 and AniDroid_Hardened_B6_45Hz with Ondemandx 100/800.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
TIL : If you leave the screen on, it uses battery.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Looks like a new build is being cooked in.

Apparently the mininum brightness value is reverted.

[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
New MMS.apk commits are nice. :] I'll continue to post the GB values framework on here, for those who are interested in it.

A proper power key camera shutter would still be welcome ;P
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Hello there..

If you all update from one nightly to new one..Did you all do a full wipe or just flash it??

I just flash it for update 14-03 and 15-03..It give me some hiccup...

I must do a full wipe..after that it will be smooth as butter..

Want to avoid full wipe because restore game from titanium backup will cause my game's data lost..such as zenonia and where's my water...
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
if you switch between releases a dalvik cache wipe is enough.. you can also wipe cache if you want.
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
Yup..already did that..but laggy...hmmm....thanks anyway..:)
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
I restored a nandroid of 03_02_12 and flashed 03_15_12 over it, smooth as butter...
[Nexus S Android Development] sean1984:
new build up http://wonderly.com/bb/CRESPO/ROM/ICECREAMSANDWICH/ :D
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Have been running the newest build for some hours now.

So far no problem was found.

The minimum brightness value is reverted to 10 as opposed to 35 in the previous build.

Love to see the split counter in SMS messages.
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
Is that the ONLY change made?! For now I'm sticking with the 'bright' rom cuz I like how my phone looks more vibrant outside and when docked in my car during the day.

I'll just dim it manually when dark with the statusbar toggle...
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I don't know what else.

So far these are all I noticed.

I've checked Pete's github and it seems that these are all the changes.

The commits are all about changes in Mms.apk and reverted minimum brightness value.

You might want to check it yourself.

As for the brightness value, we could actually edit it ourselves.

I edited the framework-res.apk of the previous build because I personally can't stand bright screen.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
I'll post the changed framework, when pete puts a build on his site (those are the only ones I flash).

16 th marcj nightly running extremely smooth with stock kernel :D
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Tried flashing it this morning while plugged into USB and once again, it wouldn't boot. Not a major bug I guess, but on the chance reboot at night, when it's always charging, it will most likely not be great for the phone to bootloop until I can unplug it. Pretty bummed, nothing else comes close to BB for me.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
What kernel are you running with?

Have you tried wiping your phone fully before flashing it?

My phone has never got into any bootloop nor it reboots.

I always flash the ROM while plugged in, either to USB or AC.

It's been really nice ever since I pair Bugless Beast & Steve Garon's kernel.

Just so you know that Steve Garon's kernel is overclocked & undervolted by default.

However my phone survives from random reboots.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Double posted.

Sorry for this.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
I just use the stock kernels of roms mostly, and I always do clean installs. Maybe I'll try again later today.

Any screenshots?

I'm assuming there is no bugs per it's bugless name? lol

I guess its enough to mention it drained only 5% over night (8 h) with notifications every hour
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I'm sorry I can't provide any screenshots here, but if you prefer a stock-like ROM like me, this could be a good choice for your daily driver.

I've been using this ROM since the February build and has never been disappointed.

The battery?

Well I could say that in my normal use (listening to music, messaging, browsing), 1 charge per day for my phone.

[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
There's also other features present in mandaman2k's MOD like 'hold volume to skip tracks' & hacked navigation app.

If you think you need these additional features, you could flash mandaman2k's MOD.
[Nexus S Android Development] ZeppeMan:
True story dude ^^

Also tried those ROMs and they are great, but I keep coming back to Bugless Beast just because it's the smoothest/most fast ROM there is imo.

I'm running this together with T132 Trinity kernel and BM tweaks v3 and it's running great!

Keep up the great work Pete!!

[Nexus S Android Development] schurl85:
does bugless beast support init.d ?? i installed the brainmaster tweaks, but there is no dalvik-cache directory in the cache. matrix does support it, but i think the rom has to support init.d also.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I have his tweaks working properly.

I guess it has something to do with the pre-installed Busybox.

I installed Busybox Free by Stericson from the Play Store.

When I opened the app, it says Busybox is installed but the location couldn't be determined.

So I just chose Busybox 1.19.2 and install it through the app.

I don't know if this is the reason of your problem.

But I think you could give it a try.
[Nexus S Android Development] nibla101:
If you flash the

BRAINMASTER_TWEAKS_STOCK_ICS_BOOT_Busybox_NEXUS_S_ v3.zip

You will get busybox and init.d, just remember to reflash your kernel afterwards.

For me thalamus's kernel is the best : governor used is on demand only, and there absolutly no mod in it : no bln, bld....no voodoo, no nothing like that, but it is the most optimized stock kernel : very smooth, very good battery life and ULTRA STABLE

Try it, with Pete's rom it's terrific !

I agree with you, and i remember thatJonathon Grigg has released a modified version of GB's first thalamus kernel for his Carbon rom you were just talking about on the Oxygen thread, which included Voodoo......so i guess we could ask him to do so with the ics one.....

Anyway he said once that he'll surely release one day a tweated version of Oxygen 3, as for Oxygen 2.....we'll see

Can somebody contact him? Twitter or something? Just voodoo sound. :)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Let's just all respect Pete and talk about this somewhere else.

We're gettimg seriously off topic here.

Anyway, I tweeted to Pete a few days ago requesting him to include Voodoo Sound driver to his default kernel.

Perhaps you guys could also do the same thing.

Pete's kernel with Voodoo Sound integrated, no need to flash anything else besides the ROM.

This would be really convenient for Bugless Beast users.

Who's with me here?

Let's all request to Pete.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
It's a bit moot point of debating stock vs. "with voodoo". If this is included, some of us might ask him about including BLN too, it's a pretty simple thing and has great usability. In fact, i'd even rather see BLN then Voodoo.

Why BLN over Voodoo? Well, you can't include it otherwise, BUT you don't need kernel support for Voodoo. Just buy the app and load it as a module.
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Agreed. And if you dont wanna buy its on blackmart :p
[Nexus S Android Development] Bandis710:
Not true! Even the paid version needs a compatible kernel. Paid version of voodoo sound will not work on pete's kernel nor will it work on thalamus.

Verstuurd van mijn Nexus S met Tapatalk
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
My opinion is Voodoo Sound doesn't compromise stability.

While many people (I'm personally not a fan of BLN) have experienced many stability issues with BLN, especially when enabling the blinking feature.

This is my personal opinion.

I have no intention of debating here.
