I just wiped cache and dalvik-cache and then straightly flashing the latest build over 03-29.

My phone boots normally, and hasn't got any issues till now.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
I was running the 03-29 version with Matr1x 18.5. I did a cache/dalvik wipe and installed the new 04-03 build, but after that the phone got stock in a boot loop.

I had to pull the battery, go back to CW recovery and flash the Matr1x kernel again in order to make it work. I guess that once you change the kernel, you can't go back without a full wipe.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
My guess is on the init.d scripts inside /system folder that matr1x kernel has.

I never flash any custom kernel and everytime there's an update, I only wiped cache and dalvik-cache, just like Pete suggested, and no problems were found.

What you could try next time is actually either flashing matr1x before booting up, or wiping cache & dalvik-cache + system, flash the ROM, and try to boot your phone with the default kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
flashed again with Simple Kernel. All is well.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I was wondering why there are some users having issues with booting the phone while running the default kernel.

Do you guys have i9020?

Mine is i9023 and I have never run into this problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Its got to do with the clock speed Peter said. Hes gonna make a change to his. Been chatting with him on twitter.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
What's weird is that I haven't got into this problem, not even once.

But even Pete himself stated that he has this issue, right?

Another kernel problem for me is that I'm not able to load Voodoo driver as a module, using the Voodoo Sound Plus app.

With the stock kernel, like in the previous build where it runs with the stock kernel, it loads fine.

If you don't mind, could you tell Pete about this?

I mentioned him in Twitter several times, but he's never replied me.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Doesnt really say he had the issue, but he seems to working to sort it out
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
I saw him saying he has the issue though:

@peteralfonso its seems to bootloop for a few times but always eventually started for me. 3-29 build was stock kernel

@peteralfonso mine will boot while plugged in, it just loops 5 or so times
[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
Mine flashed fine. I wiped /system, /data, /boot and /cache. I noticed the new kernel has 200/1000 with ondemand as default.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Hmmm wonder if he already updated the build?

[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
Just updated since less than one minute :)
[Nexus S Android Development] sean1984:
new build still wont boot for me without flashing a different kernel....anybody else able to boot with petes included kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
todays build booting fine here. with pete's kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] sean1984:
its weird it just stays at google logo ive tried other roms and kernels and they boot fine and i tried the newest nightly with air kernel and it boots fine...trying to figure out what it could be:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Hmm weird. did he reupload todays nightly or something???

Running todays nightly fine here.. (with his kernel)

did a full wipe..
[Nexus S Android Development] y3mita:
Pete said he was going to fix kernel
[Nexus S Android Development] thedauntlessone:
The newest build boots up no problem for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Yeah still no luck for me. Had to boot with Simple kernel

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
Those having booting problems, have you tried a full wipe? the changes he made needs a full wipe.

EDIT: can you confirm that booting problems concern only S-Amoled (i9020) phones?
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
9020a here.

Not sure why some would require a full wipe and others not?

[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
BB latest release does not boot on my GF NexusS neither. Going back to 29-03 release for now...

She has a i9020a with samoled.
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
I decided to start fresh with the latest build and stick to Pete's kernel. I was running the latest Matr1x (without OC) and had lots of instability and performance problems. I just had a crash freeze while I was playing a game and the phone rang. Everything froze with the ringtone stuck in a loop.

I pulled the battery, rebooted made a backup and now I'm downloading Pete's latest build. No more highly modified kernels for me.

UPDATE:

Unfortunately I have to report that even the latest ROM still gets stuck at boot on the Google logo. This time I did a data/factory, cache, dvalik wipe, but it didn't help.

i9020a for the record.
[Nexus S Android Development] sean1984:
i have same model and it doesnt boot

i have flashed the latest build and doesnt boot on my i9020a
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
I did use the latest one (from about 2hrs ago). Just for fun I wiped and re-flashed it again, and left it alone for few minutes when it finally booted after several "loops".

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but this time I had the phone charging since I was running low on battery.

UPDATE:

After setting up my Google account I tried to reboot and again it gets stuck at the Google logo looping over and over.
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
I downloaded the build after his last tweet. Still no go. Get stuck in a boot loop at the Google logo.
[Nexus S Android Development] rguz:
What kernel do you guys recommend for the 3-29 build? Or should I keep it stock? Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Stock is fine. It's 4.0.4 stock so its still fast.
[Nexus S Android Development] AeroEchelon:
Currently I'm on the 0329 nightly and experience weird power ons/reboots. Sometimes when I reboot, it will flash to the Google logo and idle for a minute or so, then it would appear to reboot again then at the Google logo and continue with the booting process.

What I am trying to get is that my phone decides to boot at some times and decide to fail, crash and reboot the rebooting process. Anyone else experience the same?

Stock kernel! You want to keep it Bugless don't you? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] xtracrispy:
I used Steve's last kernel and it's been 100% solid, uptime several days now with the only reboots being me trying to mod stuff.
[Nexus S Android Development] antrobi3:
Everything's working fine here,just flashed the 2. 04-03 ver. over the 1., Pete's stock kernel 200-1300 mhz,i9023.
[Nexus S Android Development] rguz:
Thanks! But I do have to flash a kernel that supports voodoo colors if I want to get rid of the yellowish tinge on the screen right?
[Nexus S Android Development] Abdsyafii:
Running smooth at my 9023 using default kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
Simple Kernel. It's based on 4.0.4, but has BLN/BLD baked in, AND it remedies the bootloop issue. I've been running the older version for months and it's rock solid with this ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Hmm, as I had thought before, looks like those having bootlooping issues have different model than me.

Mine is i9023 and Pete's kernel has never given me booting problems.

Could any other i9023 owners confirm the same?
[Nexus S Android Development] r3act:
i9023 here and never had any issues with the stock kernel, always using 200/1000 ondemand which Pete now set as default in the updated kernel last night...
[Nexus S Android Development] willbeh:
First venture outside of stock ICS. Manage to boot on first try. Going through what's different compare to stock.

Nexus S i9023
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
100 MHz slot shouldn't be deleted :(

I've been running Bugless Beast since the February build with 100/1000 and has never run into any problems, let alone bootlooping.
[Nexus S Android Development] mejobloggs:
Is there a 'long press back button to kill app' option?
[Nexus S Android Development] willbeh:
I have issue for the Google Play on the web. It is not listing my Nexus S. I can installed apps on my phone but not from the web. Anyone having the same issue?
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:

how did you find the version for today ?? When I go to peter's site the latest I see is form 3th of april ?
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Sweet. That one should have to bootloops fixed. I tested about 20 kernel for Pete yesterday, I hope it paid off! Those that where having bootloops, let me know if this works...
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
downloading now. Will let you know if it boots alright. Fingers crossed :D
[Nexus S Android Development] steve.garon:
Was it bootlooping before?
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Oh yeah. Only way I could get past the Google screen was to flash simple kernel. Thats including last evenings build.
[Nexus S Android Development] phone_user:
http://wonderly.com/bb/CRESPO/ROM/ICECREAMSANDWICH/

I can't tell about that cuz I don't have NS anymore.

Maybe you temporarily build SG kernel again for these cases? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] keb00:
X2

I installed a moments ago, and did see it that version...

What changes was made...
[Nexus S Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
Well, no dice. stuck at the Google. :(

Not sure if running Simple kernel messes up anything or not, but I wiped cache & dalvik, but still loops.
[Nexus S Android Development] dark79:
Bootloop on clean install on my i9020T

EDIT: Downloading the 4-04 file posted on previous page. Will report back.

Last time I installed it I also lost signal and couldn't even get bluetooth to work..

I think that you left behind ... double check
[Nexus S Android Development] malson:
Not everyone needs supertuning ROM. I prefer stability rather than the quantity of settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] Valantin:
sorry for my bad eng, Google translate sucks, the Italian language is too complicated for him

Spero che le modifiche fatte al post precedente lo rendano più comprensibile.

credo che come powerwidgetnotification si trova in quasi tutte le rom, anche altre feature sono molto apprezzate e sarebbe interessante trovarle in questa ottima rom.

I hope the changes make the post more comprehensible.

I think mod like powerwidgetnotification, findable in most ROM, don't make a rom identical to other, but it is a added value.

Sorry for my bad eng
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
I've never said they're ****, but they on the same debatable side to be included as other tweaks like T9 dialer and so on and so on.

If you want stock experience (like myself), here's a stock kernel with only BLN & Voodoo added : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420542
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
... and remember, there are features that must added on the kernel level and there are which can be added later. bln & voodoo belong to the first class. that's why we always beg the devs ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] rrohanjs:
hows the battery life compared to other roms
[Nexus S Android Development] aLNG:
Battery life depends on many thing. This rom is just like other roms. I used this rom and not even bother to change to others.this is my battery life for light usage
[Nexus S Android Development] _yaz_:
i've faced a weird thing w/090212. when set conservative/100/800 in devel/proc and set it to "set on boot" my i9023 goes to a bootloop :( then there's no other way than removing batt and fact.def. when do the same w/nstools there's no problem. i guess it's a boot up problem in pete's kernel. has anyone tested pete's "cpu tool" as it is ?
[Nexus S Android Development] ranasrule:
any battery mods that wont break notification power widget available for this rom ?
[Nexus S Android Development] nexus_junkie:
100% agreed, the cleanest pete + statusbar toggles enough!! :)

Moreover thankfully Pete said changing the toggles into ICS style :)

On stock kernel, I was at 85% after 12 hours with 1h screen time. Very impressive.
[Nexus S Android Development] uansari1:
I like the stock kernel as well.. Just need bln and bld and it'd be perfect. Till then, I'm satisfied with the Speedy kernel.

[Nexus S Android Development] nexus_junkie:
The best ROM, IMO :) the cleanest, simple and "Bugless"!
[Nexus S Android Development] BuglessPete:
This is actually a bug in the stock kernel as well (I did some testing). Once I add the new notification toggles this is my next thing to tackle. Sucks when you have to fix things that some Samsung dev broke.

BTW, I do not check forums to often so for an immediate response or anything else, feel free to hit me up on twitter @peteralfonso

I flashed the Crespo version on my NS but there were no extended power menu or toggles available in the rom. It didn't have more options under Settings than the stock rom. I did a full wipe of the phone before flashing this rom but not sure what I did wrong.

Please Help

Great Rom, Purest form - keep up the updates! I am experiencing rapid battery drain on my Nexus S (GSM) - do you have any suggestions. I really like this rom and don't want to change. Thanks

but to just come in and start tossing insults? :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Android Development] al_madd:
So??nobody ask you to flash it...If you have problems...Ask..not insult..

If does not like this ROM..Choose other...better for you...
[Nexus S Android Development] Lirankn:
I'm allowed to have my own opinion, and from my experience with this rom it really doesn't live up to its name..
[Nexus S Android Development] thegtfusion:
Yeah okay then move to another rom then :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Lirankn:
If you keep giving everyone the same advice, people will actually look for other roms and the developer won't get as much followers..

Once the developer sees that people are unsatisfied with their product they will either say "**** it I give up" or will actually try to solve the problems and make it better for people.

The main reason people create roms is cause they want people to enjoy them, by criticizing them I only help
[Nexus S Android Development] jjhrrsn:
Insulting a dev that donates his time is not something anyone will side with you on. You can have your opinion, learn how to provide proper feedback
[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
So is 4/4 still causing boot loops?
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Still bootlooping on mine. 9020T. That's with or without USB plugged in.

Edit: perhaps it's the international NS having problems. Would narrowing it down help Pete?

Let's see, if you've flashed the latest one 04/04, did it work without bootlooping and what handset do you have? Looks like the SLCD 9023 is fine, from reading some of your comments.

[Nexus S Android Development] Lirankn:
Do you think it's fun to flash a rom, see it's not working, wipe data/cache then flash another one, install things on it and get used to it, then see that the developer of the previous rom uploaded a new version that he claims actually works this time. So you wipe data again, flash it and surprise it's not working again.

We spend time on those things too you know.. In the end it's the customer that matters and you need to make sure they enjoy the product so they will keep using it.
[Nexus S Android Development] jjhrrsn:
Everything is flash at your own risk. You aren't a customer you are getting it for free, make a backup.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Agreed, but when they are doing it as a hobby, it's different. You wouldn't have such a rant at a mate who brought you a beer with the cap still on. It's a tiny issue, flash thalamus' kernel (or any other stock like one) and it is Bugless. Consider it (the other kernel) a bottle opener.

I can see why so many people leave xda. Some of these threads man. Anyway. I'm wasting space.

Either way Im sure Pete will get this sorted.

your not a "customer" there is no money being exchanged your time involved is not benefiting anyone but yourself...reporting bugs is one thing but if you are unhappy with this rom take the suggestions on fixing it or flash another rom or go back to stock and deal with the people you did pay

yes I know what trolling is :)
[Nexus S Android Development] y3mita:
Would you be able to post thalamus settings? As frequencies, governors? How much can you customize by using tools such as NSTOOLs SETCPU?

Would you compare thalamus to trinity's kernels?

I probably would've asked if you used thalamus kernel in the past and if you could provide some feedback.

Thanks for your time reading this post.
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
Do you know why you're getting called "troll"? It's because you're disrespectful to the rom dev not because you hate this rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
Not at all. Thalamus' kernel is optimised stock. Not voodoo, bln, etc etc. It's simple, optimised ondemand, 100/1000 with deadline. Stock voltages. And it's never crashed or rebooted on me. been using them since my HTC Desire days.
[Nexus S Android Development] kong:
Everything stock with updated codebase, 1 GHz, deadline/ondemand, no OC, no mods, etc. No need to use NSTools too :D

That's the reason it's super stable ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Lirankn:
How was I being disrespectful to the developer?? If anything I was disrespectful to the rom itself..

If I was a troll I'd say "blaah this developer is gay whats up with him creating **** roms like that lolool" But all I said was that the rom itself does not live up to its BUGLESS name..
[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
I had the boot loop issue on my i9020a with last night's build. I'm downloading the new 04-04 rom and will report back.

[Nexus S Android Development] jjhrrsn:

[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
There must be a reason 4/4 is not on Pete's site. Maybe it's still not ready for release?
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
Hmm.. I think that it is disrespectful to the developer. You really don't have to say " BUGLESS pete my ass.. This should be renamed BUGGY pete..".
[Nexus S Android Development] Lirankn:
The name of the ROM is BuglessPete.. I also said "THIS" which implied I was talking about the ROM not the developer..
[Nexus S Android Development] rasengan82:
Come on guys, enough! Is there a way to pull logs from a boot loop? Pete removed 100MHZ slot last night and I think he wants to remove the 1300MHZ slot. What I don't get is why it used to work in the 4.0.3 builds.
[Nexus S Android Development] ljordan2:
The name of the rom is Bugless Beast. And let's stop fighting over this. The best thing I can say is try using a different rom. Maybe this rom just isn't the right rom for you.
[Nexus S Android Development] glennkaonang:
Let's just ignore those who don't help in terms of development.

This thread is under the development sub-forum, and I guess we could provide some feedbacks and report bugs so the dev could take care of them.

Back to the topic, I was actually quite disappointed with Pete's decision of removing 100 MHz slot.

I use 100/1000 on my i9023 with no single issues since the February build.

And as it can be seen here, 200 MHz still doesn't help i9020a users, am I right?

I'm sure there's something wrong other than the CPU frequency that affects only you guys with i9020a.
[Nexus S Android Development] rickbosch:
I have the i9020t and that doesn't boot either.
