You have to flash a custom kernel.

Pete has never included any of those MODs since he tries to keep BB as stock as possible.

As for Facebook sync, this ROM doesn't have the feature as it breaks Picasa upload Pete says.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
While waiting for 4.0.4 version of BB, yesterday I tried Brainmaster's new ICS ROM and in the Quadrant bench, I was surprised by the I/O performance compared to stock ICS an BB.

Is that some sort of trick to boost I/O benchmarks or are there any real tweaks that actually increase I/O performance?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Which BM tweak zip did u flash?
[Nexus S Android Development] b1337:
he flashed bm's 4.0.4 rom look what he wrote tweaks are in the first post
[Nexus S Android Development] :

[Nexus S Android Development] :
I think this is a good question. There are numerous methods to improve I/O scores, but I don't know if pete uses any of them for sure.
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
Peter can you implement the BIGMEM feature in your rom ?
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
Overnight (during a 6-hour sleep) my batt dropped from 94 to 61% ?!?!

As you can see I flashed an (older) 1% battery mod, and a searchkey-to-recent mod, but I have never ever even seen this kind of OS-usage on 4.0.3 with the phone idle...

For now I reflashed 03_29_12 with a 1% battery mod based on a 4.0.4 SytemUI and left the search-to-recent mod out. We'll see what happens...
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
That's my usage, I used the phone a bit for messages when I took it off the charger, but when screen was off, you can see it doesn't consume much. Simplekernel 1.11 stock settings.

Btw, JBQ posted kernel sources, so we'll have new kernels soon.
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
Hey, after updating to 3-29, I can't change the cpu frequency anymore. Is this a bug or intended?
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
It's the stock kernel, that's why. If you want to change it, then you'll need to flash another kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
I think I can change the frequency with 3-16 with Pete's stock kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
yes, but read the changelog. The kernel in the 4.0.4 build is Google's stock, not Pete's. That's because the kernel sources weren't released yet. But they have been now, so I am expecting Pete to update his kernel for the next build.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Not to deviate from the actual topic too much, but how do you have such an even flat line at idle? My phone has a steady drop but I still manage 17 hours. I got a new battery and that seems to have helped as I got the phone second hand and the OEM battery was junk.
[Nexus S Android Development] motorator:
Mine is pretty much like that as well, but I find it is only achievable when not using 3G/HSPA+.

If you look at his graph, WiFi is on the whole time.

Do you have WiFi set to Sleep When Screen Off? If you do, switch it to Never.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Yep, it's on "Never", otherwise it uses data. Oh, also for the record, I don't use Google+, since I've found its a major battery hog.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I had pretty much the same problem here.

My phone kept waking up when the screen is off.

Note that this only happened when I wasn't on wifi.

So I tried changing my number from a different carrier, and my phone slept well by then.

It seems that my old carrier has network issues that causes thr data connection to reconnect many times, and that's what keeping my phone waking up.

But sadly I have to stick with it because of many reasons (family, work, etc.)

If you're a person who can't easily change numbers like me, just keep your phone connected to wifi anytime it's available.
[Nexus S Android Development] xd4d3v:
What kernel do you recommend with voodoo and BLN that matches Pete's ROM?
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Hey there, I was thinking of trying this ROM, however is this a Nightlies only rom?

I was looking for something with as little bugs as possible, however I don't want to keep reflashing nightlies, I want something stable to last me at the very least a few weeks.

However, if I can count on flashing any nightly and it being totally stable, then I don't mind it.

What is your opinion guys? Also, how is battery on this ROM?
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Simple Kernel : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420542

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

You don't need to flash every nightly, they're not released that often (pete is busy with school anyway), since mods added are minimal. So if you don't want to flash often and want a stable and fast daily ROM, this is the right place. You can check the changes on http://github.com/peteralfonso and decide yourself if a certain mod/change added in a new nightly is your thing, then flash it, or just skip some. But updating nightlies unless it's a 4.0.3 -> 4.0.4 upgrade can be done with wiping cache & dalvik, so no data loss.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
I recommend Bugless Beast to anyone looking for a close to stock experience with a few tweaks added. I've never had an issue. I think after a few days the battery will be much better. It should get you through a day. On a good day I manage about 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Thanks, that's good to know, I think I will flash this ROM soon. :)

And I'm guaranteed to have a ROM without bugs right? Because this is definitely the most important thing, sometimes I just don't have time to flash new ROMs/versions to see which one doesn't have problems (because of school and such too), and I like to keep it simple and functional

I basically just want to have a fast, bugless, and working ROM with useful tweaks that the stock ROM doesn't have like notification widgets and so on.

P.S.: What should I use for kernel, should I stick with what comes with this ROM, or use something like I'm currently using like Matr1x?
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
This rom is fast and bugless! I used in total like for 3 momths!! (if I sum all the days I had this rom running)

you an flash a different kernel if you want. kernel of your choice of course :)
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
As others have said, this is called Bugless Beast for a reason. I recommend Simple Kernel, as it's also similar to Peter's philosophy.. Simple, stable and minimal mods. Just adds bln/bld.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Yep, btw it's updated from 4.0.4 sources now, Simplekernel 1.20.
[Nexus S Android Development] mikkkg:
Simplekernel is nice but when I change governor via developer options and check set on boot, after a reboot I am back to ondemand. Does anyone have the same experience?
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Think that you set everything via init.d script there, check if it's not a setting for governor there.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Thanks :)

And I forgot to ask something else, can I update the nightlies like maddog said? By just wiping dalvik and cache? Won't it create bugs or anything like that?

Also if I do it that way, I don't have to worry about backing up my apps and data, they all stay on the phone, correct?
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Correct.

My Market actually updated to the latest version although I froze MarketUpdater.apk. So consider yourself lucky :P Try if the same occurs with Nova, no issues with Nova. Apex is buggy as **** IMHO.

[Nexus S Android Development] KrisMurdrum:
So BB went totally weird on me today and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it.

I flashed the 3-29 (the 4.0.4 one) just an hour after Pete announced the second upload of the Crespo build. Fresh after triple full wipe. And fresh install of all apps via Google Back Up.

No probs and fantastic battery life until today where I drained it to death (24 hrs uptime with 6 hrs screen on). Hooked it to the charger and waited five minutes before booting up. But gut stuck on the boot animation. Three times... So I triple full wiped and flashed again and this time I got to "starting applications", again after three failed attempts I was resigned to make another triple full wipe and third flash. This time it booted up and so far all is good...

[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
I forgot to ask, does this ROM have Facebook sync?
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
Thanks for the update. I'll probably wait until next time BB gets updated, too many wipes for me in the last few days ;)

Any major changes in the GApps 4.0.4 compared to 4.0.3?
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
I haven't noticed anything mayor..

[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
yep, i had the same experience. exactly the same. after letting down battery below 20% i tried to switch off but instead, after an unusual long buzz it went on bootloop. for regain it must have been full-wiped.

i used conservative w/my own setting as before, and afaik this governor was buggy even in 4.0.3 stock kernel.

now i'm testing whether it was the kernel (air 3.8) the battery or the rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
I've been using Pete's ROMs for ages, and the only issue I did have was with his kernel in the 4.0.3 builds when it wouldn't boot when plugged into USB or AC. I installed the latest ROM (29-03) and thalamus' kernel (unbeatable for stability and performance) with no problems at all.

It may be the kernel giving you problems, but if you want stock like performance, try thalamus' latest experimental kernel from here (http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=2275).

Also, I only use ondemand, found it better for response, performance and battery life, conservative always felt a touch slow to me.
[Nexus S Android Development] speed145a:
I don't thing he's the mayor...

:cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] :

[Nexus S Android Development] Nexus.S:
Any word on how I can use this rom but use all of brain masters tweaks mods tricks and stuff from his latest rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Anyone know?
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Yes I know. it doesnt have FB sync.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Nope, it doesn't.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
Oh, that is sad to hear... Any chance it will have it in the future?
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Don't think so, it was in before, but it breaks the Google photos sync. Use HaxSync, it's better anyway.
[Nexus S Android Development] Nexus.S:
Just download the app in the market works just as good.
[Nexus S Android Development] KaiZ51:
I know, there's that app, but it's paid, and even though it's cheap, I'm just being a cheapskate and don't feel like buying it lol.

I'm assuming you mean the same app that madd0g mentioned right?
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
I mean it's a price of a coffee and works beautifully.

[Nexus S Android Development] marinierb:
I don't thing he's the mayor, either.
[Nexus S Android Development] chronophase1:
Heavy use with Simple Kernel. I'm happy with this. I could probably get four hours screen on with a few tweaks.
[Nexus S Android Development] waterface:
And then again what do we know? Maybe he is in fact the mayor.

Seriously great work on this Pete. I never really believed posts when a user said they can feel a ROM is "faster" but after coming from the CM9 4.0.4 nightly this BB nightly is A LOT faster and optimized.

Thanks for this!
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Just wait for Pete to cook his optimized 4.0.4 kernel.

He tweeted yesterday that he's going to work on it starting this Monday.

Right now it uses the stock 4.0.4 kernel, but it's already as snappy as the usual Bugless Beast we know.
[Nexus S Android Development] dark06:
Where is the option for touchwake?

•euroskanked with t®inity•

You'll need to install a custom kernel which supports it. Pete's roms and kernels don't include those mods, he keeps it stock as possible.

[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Are you on wifi or 3G?

I had this issue once, and apparently it's my carrier network that was causing it.

It's all OK when I'm connected to wifi.

You may want to try to change your carrier and see if the problem still persists.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Sitting on wifi its doing it. Just sitting on my desk and screen comes on. seems random. can come on seconds after going off or 10min later. Very odd.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
Download better battery stats from xda and use the wakelock function..

You seem to have a wakelock issue..
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
So you mean the screen is turning on randomly?

What I get is your phone's awake time.

If it's the screen, I guess I couldn't help.

My problem was a high awake time when the screen was off.
[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
I'm having issues on the CDMA version. I came here to check out if anybody has the same issues. I've got so far 2 reboots and 2 bootloops. This is pure BuglessBeast stock. On the second bootloop I lost my wallpaper... which worried me a bit.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
I'm on the GSM version and haven't had any issues at all I'm afraid. Although to help, we need to know more about what you were doing when the reboots occurred, so a logcat would be best I think .

It's very strange that you're having issues though, you did do a full wipe right? I think it's probably best between Android versions and I've noticed that it generally solves most issues.
[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
All I was doing was scrolling the XDA app, or opening a lot of apps back and forth from the notification pulldown. I sent the kernel panic logs to Pete already. And yes, this is a FULL wipe install (formatted /system, /data, /cache/ and /boot).

This is the log for the reboot:

It's a good bet we'll have a new build overnight! With his own kernel I'll be able to set minimum Processor freq. to 200 again, then his 4.0.4 build will be super responsive!!!

Furthermore he also tweeted about including 4.0.4 Gapps...

Just coming in from a long time use of the Codename ROM. I just installed this ROM. Feels pretty fast :) for now though, the one thing I miss from the CNA is the option to switch the camera to mute option when on the lock screen.

Is this possible?

[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
I always remove camera_click.ogg, camera_focus.ogg & VideoRecord.ogg from the media/audio/ui/ folder before flashing a new .zip

You can do it afterwards with rootexplorer, or terminal emulator if you know what you're doing.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
gave it a try, not sure if this is something or not.
[Nexus S Android Development] Pipusz:
I think he's talking about the option to toggle the sound settings on lock screen instead of opening the camera. But I might be wrong here.
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
Where you using the phone while it was unplugged?

Looks like it was awake ever since you unplugged it..

Also Bluetooth kept it awake..

Do you have the Bluetooth patch?
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Phone sat mostly unused. I have not flashed a bluetooth patch no. tbh I never used bluetooth much at all. Now that I have a new truck, I use it daily and always leave it on. I'll have a look for the patch and flash it.

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Paparasee:
Yup! That's the one I was looking for :)

My bad for explaining it well enough ... sorry!
[Nexus S Android Development] Dorilife:
Yeah that's the issue there, ICS on Nexus needs a BT patch for it to go into deepsleep..

If you don't get around to the BT patch try turning off BT and see if it goes into deep sleep..

Apps that help you find out these issues are better battery stats and cpuspy.

Good luck and hope you get this sorted out.:D
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
ahh, I thought his rom had the patch baked right in. I assumed, never really looked into it.

Turned off BT, will give it 10min while I look for the patch
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
"BT quick turn on" has been patched since January.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Check the "Partial Wakelocks" option. That's where apps displayed, you've just got a rogue app which is preventing deep sleep.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
nothing over a few seconds awake

Either way the screen coming on issue seems to have sorted itself out this afternoon. Phone rebooted on its on and its been fine since then. Go figure lol.

Is the BT patch in the kernel?

Going back to 4.0.3 I had fantastic stability with over 2 weeks of uptime.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Maybe it's because of BLN blinking being enabled.

I saw some users reporting that the blinking features might cause problems to stability.

I personally haven't got any reboots running the latest build since the day it came out.

I run my phone with the default configuration, though.
[Nexus S Android Development] Bamdroid:
Its the kernel. I've tested BB with and without a custom kernel for 48hrs. Running 1.20, I got a major freeze one time listening to music and a text came in as I was attempting to open up twitter. This was on stock settings of that kernel. On stock BB no issues whatsoever :thumbup:
