[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Ya yours is the best of the bunch but there are only a few folks, that comment anyway that get anywhere near that with any rom / Kernel combo. Seems as though as close as they are in specs and physical look they do seem to be different in the way of battery performance. There is a kernel that I use regularly that if you go to the ns forum people regularly get 4-5 hours of onscreen time and I would say I get half that. I am a heavy user so I take it with a grain of salt when comparing others use to mine. ICS, to me, was just not optimized for our phones like gb was. Which makes sense because gb was the latest greatest when this phone was released. Gb on this phone is a totally different experience. It's more like using ics on the gnex or et4g. Smooth, flawless, good battery, etc. Like I mentioned in my other post, this is getting pretty darn close for the short time it has been out but I am going to be pessimistic and say I don't see this ever having the same battery life or responsiveness that gb did. That being said won't keep me from flashing away trying everything under the sun, cause that's what I do. Thanks for this rom as it is one of the very few built from scratch roms for our device and with every update adds performance and stability that others lack.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
GB was optimized after many releases. ICS has only had 2 and in IMO i can't ever go back to GB. I posted a few screen shots of my battery in my sgs and nexus s threads i think. As you said, battery life is all user dependent and whats teh point of having battery last for 2 days or whatever ( slim will do that do as it sleeps fine), phone is there to use, so use it :p.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
My screen just went crazy and I had to reboot. It looked like a television set with static only it had colors. What caused this? And will this be a recurring issue with this ROM? I really hope not, because I really like this one.

I'm guessing this has something to do with screen density settings. I made mine back to default...it was too small upon boot. Either way, has anyone had this issue as a recurring problem?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
So what's the verdict everyone? I can't be the only one that likes this. Let's here it. Good, bad, ugly.

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
appears I'm getting good battery life, still using stock setup, except for beautiful widgets being stupid... not blaming the rom at all
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
still loving it!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
I had the issue a while ago with BW. i un installed, wiped everything including system, reflashed the rom. re downloaded BW from market

seems to have fixed that. I love BW but i was hating it for that time period of few hrs.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
thank you. I figured it was a bad install. ill start over with a clean flash & see what happens.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] genaro12543:
I'm loving this I'm gonna edit my post in a bit with a bit more detailed review :) I still gotta flash the market fix and the 4g download fix and give it a day to test battery

I love the default dpi. It looks really clean

Working 4g notification widget. Wow I can't believe we finally have a working 4g widget for the ns4g

I ran into GPS issues so I flashed matrix 16.0 and its all good

For sure my new daily driver all I would ask for is the touch to focus camera and hold back to kill applications and that's it
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] diesburg:
Can't wait to try this. There's nothing I like more than slim bare min. roms!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
you are making full use of the lower dpi.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FAFS:
Hey what kernal are you using?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Haha, I am on my third test. Glados, no go dropped calls on cfs and bfs. Trinity, super fast and stable like always, good battery but you always give a little to go so fast. Now I am testing matr1x 16.5. Crazy battery so far, fast and stable, not as fast as Trinity on same settings but plenty quick. So really just depends on what's the most important to ya. Best blend right now is matr1x also the fullest featured, governors, bln, bld, live oc,voodoo color, etc etc.

45 mins of on-screen time at 88% w/20 of 4g running.

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
Stock Slim is Eugene's Speedy sources. Very stable for me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FAFS:
Whats your usual set up?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
200/1000 matr1x Lulz - now

200/1000 Trinity Ondemand

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FAFS:
Okay thank you. I ask because I see you around threads everywhere so I figured you now more than I do. I'm going to try that matrix set up now
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
If you use Luzactive try these settings

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FAFS:
Alrighty will do!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
would really like to use this as my daily but the lcd density is too small for my eyes. Any fix for this
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Galaxy Nexus. jk man

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
not a bad thought but even the galaxy nexus will be yesterdays model in a few months. technology changes so quickly :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Yea with the Intel chips coming and the quads its gonna be crazy this year.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
First time I've seen a report of that. Are you on another kernel?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Kernel that came with the Rom...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
Strange, like I said first time I've seen that reported. Let us know if it happens again and what where you doing when it did happen?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
When it happened this time I was sending an MMS. It would be hard for me to get a logcat of it unless I see a pattern. Well, since you haven't seen it, I hope it doesn't happen again. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
not sure what you mean by "after-flash update". replying here in case anyone else can comment; however... i'll pm you (probably more appropriate anyway).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michael.ahdett:
Were you OC'd? If so, by how much? I've had that happen after pushing my device past it's limit.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
Hahaha, this is funny... I don't know why but NSTools started me overclocked to 1447 for some reason. I guess that explains it. If I knew that was going on I wouldn't of even posted the OP about this error. Sorry! Thanks for your help though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
Wait stock Crespo kernel has live oc?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
The kernel in this rom does have live OC...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
yes, i use eugenes sources which has live oc and oc built in. i don't support issues arising via oc/uv etc though :p
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
I don't blame you...sorry about not noticing earlier. I don't know why it started me off overclocked like that. Thanks for this ROM however. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jeffreynothing43:
I have had no luck installing Exchange Mail...I have used the Update add and installed the APK but it won't show up in my apps. What am I doing wrong?

Never mind...I realized I had to install the Email app as well. Sorry.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
did you update OTA app via market, do that and try.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] v3rk:
i can confirm that installing the mail worked after updating the update me app through market. didn't try it before i updated, though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Well guys its was a great ride with this rom but unfortunaltly this will be my last post on any rom for the NS4G. My phone unfortunatly had suffered the well documented "Corrupted SD Card" issue. I tried to install the stock recovery but it wouldnt take no matter which one I tried. Sadly because of this sprint wouldnt give me a replacement because they said "its messed up because its rooted". I tried to tell them the SD card was damaged and that this was widely documented on the web as being a common issue, and they said "it has nothing to do with the sd card, its because its rooted". Jeez I felt like I was talking to a brick wall. So called "techs" couldn't see pass it being rooted and check to see if the device was actually faulty. My SD card wouldnt mount in CWR so that was the end of my ride on the NS4G. Now I am stuck with a blackberry tour 9630 until March 2013 when I will dive back into android. Until then, I'm forced to leave android. At least she died running the latest Slim Rom. You guys have been great. I still have my NS4G and I have a fully functional Asus Transformer. If anyone wants the NS4G for parts or to tinker, let me know and we will work something out. Later guys.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] v3rk:
sucks, man. but you did willingly violate your warranty. . .

i would have just made an insurance claim, saying it was lost (assuming you have insurance).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Didn't have insurance. Not blaming anyone on this site. I knew the risks, and I am one of the very few that got burned. No biggie. When I am up for renewal in 10 months I will be back with whatever is hot at the time. I know the GNex came out but who knows what will be out in 10 months. It might be old news by then.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
how did they know it was rooted?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Im guessing because clockwork was still in there, so when they tried to restore using recovery, clockwork popped up. I couldn't go back to stock recovery because for some reason it would just hang and not install it. My gripe with them is that they blamed it on it being rooted instead of checking the device. I can almost see them saying "Oh its rooted, thats the problem", and they didnt even try to check to see if the phone was damaged. My NS4G stopped playing music I was streaming with winamp. When I tried to wake the device up, it wouldnt wake up. I thought it was the SOD but when I pulled the battery and turned it back on, it wouldnt boot, I tried to restore a Nand and it said, cannot mount SD card. So i knew I was screwed. Looked up on XDA to see if this is common and it is, SD card gets corrupted and the phone becomes a brick essentially.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
obviously money IS a consideration, but just an fyi, months ago, i saw ns4g's on ebay selling for around $130 or even a little less. you might be able to find a good deal... especially if you can sell the blackberry and make a little bit of cash to put towards it. sorry about your dilemma though. good luck!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
you tried to fastboot i assume? google allows you to unlock bootloaders and lock without voiding warranty, but rooting is another issue i know.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jjhrrsn:
So I have tried miui port, cm9kang,gummy,aokp34, buglessbeast, stock ics, and this is by far the best. Thanks for the great rom
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Yea I was able to fast boot but recovery wouldnt push so I was only able to relock the boot loader. I was hoping that was enough but I guess when they saw clockwork it was obvious. As far as eBay and Craigslist, I tried eBay and saw them upwards of 200. Craigslist was around 150 for my area but no pictures and no responses for days from the seller requesting photos. I need a phone asap because I freelance building and repairing PC's and laptops and I have computers that I am trying to return to my clients but no way of contacting them so I couldn't wait any longer. The Bb is coming today. Thankfully a lot of my most used apps were cross platform to the bb. But I will miss the silkyness of slim.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
isn't there a factory image you can fastboot that will put back recovery, but i guess if the partition is messed up it might not stick.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Ya or if you haven't already tried using one click root from your pc try restoring it to stock and then reroot. Just a thought. I flashed a test rom one time that wiped my recovery, among other things, and was not able to even able to boot into the bootloader. One click was able to access the phone, restore the original imagine then I was able to reroot. Obviously if your pc won't see your device then this advice is dumb but maybe worth a try.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joebarkho:
Is it bad that I can't figure out how to install this? All this ota stuff is just screwing with my head.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
Don't bother with OTA it just downloads the rom and notifies you of new versions. Install normally.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
And offers individual apps that where in Add on pack before. And will be doing more soon ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Yea it wasn't even taking recovery in fastboot. Just hung there and I let it sit for like 15 minutes but it wouldn't push the recovery through. I also tried the 1 click restore to stock with no success. Believe me I would NEVER consider getting another phone unless I exhausted every option. Sucks that I lost everything on my SD card. I only had an old backup from December of what was on my SD card. Everything else after that is gone.

what do i download for the spring nexus 4g? so many links

i think i got it...i got crespo4g essentials and base
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
Read the instructions!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
that was not the problem, the problem was that i did not know which essentials i needed for the sprint nexus 4g, i was unaware that it was called crespo4g, as opposed to all the other ones.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
crespo code name for nexus s
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
yea, i simply didnt know that. Thanks. I just flashed it, and is everything supposed to be smaller compared to normal roms? like the whole ui is just smaller..

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
Update....

Well I am trying my last option. Send the NS4G to Samsung for repair. Basic repair is 70 dollars but lets see what they say after they get it in their hands. I basically said that the phones sd card got corrupted, sprint couldn't restore it and

THEY

told me to try to fix it on my own. I tried to repair it on my own following instructions online (didnt mention XDA) (And this would explain clockwork being on there) but I was not successful. Lets see what happens. Fingers crossed. Its under warranty according to them but Ill know if they are willing to repair it given the circumstances of it being rooted. But I will play the innocent victim and hope for the best....lol.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
is there any way to bake the bln stay solid rather than blink..i cannot do it through the app, before son gummy rom it was just solid. also is there a way to increase the timeout of the softkeys for just normal use, right now they go off after a few seconds of non use, can i increase this time? or make them come on whenever i use the touch screen also?

thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
get nstools from the play store

sent from my dark iced, skanky, 50hz t11 infused ns4g
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
Nstools
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
3.5 released
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
hope this doesnt sound gay, but i think i love you :p
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
is there any way you could put a screen timeout widget in the stats bar in one of the next builds?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
you going to build for the toro? :confused:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
no why
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] fisher1991:
Love the rom so far just one question am I able to completely turn off the hard key lights but keep the function? And I noticed when you have the hold power to turn on light when screen off function checked after you let go your lock screen crashes
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
just wanted to say thanks for a great rom. i rarely let my phone go without charging for more than a few hours because using smart phones has turned me into a basket case. i'm forever stressing about whether or not i'll run out of power. however, on saturday, i decided to see what this rom/phone could do. i ran some errands, tried to use the phone as i normally would, a few short phone calls, few texts, browsing online, gps at least twice (though i plugged it in while gps was running in the car...10/15 minutes or so, data and syncing on, connected to wifi while at home. didn't listen to much if any music or podcasts which is something i usually do during the week (during my commute). stock kernel and settings, ondemand at 200/1000. the results were pretty amazing. see the attached screenshot.

1 day, 22 minutes. just over 4 hours screen on. Of course the last 8 hours were overnight while i was asleep, so... 16 hours of actual use. still, it was a great feeling.

a couple things i should point out. i did use the screen filter app for about 15 minutes while reading in bed at night. this explains the dark screenshot too as it was taken as soon as i woke the phone up in the morning. also, there's a weird jump in the graph that happened when i rebooted the phone to install the new twrp recovery. not sure why it did that, but the graph does level out pretty quickly.

p.s. i was running version 3.4
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
you are welcome
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
cuz your rom is pimp
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
sorry for bringing this convo back to this thread, but apparently you've disabled private messages. anyway, i thought to look up the going rate for the nexus s 4g on ebay since i may be picking up a gnex in the next few weeks (depending on how the gs3 announcement goes later this week and how nice the evo lte feels in hand) and so i used the ebay seller tool. you just enter the device you want to sell, the condition, and then they offer you a "price trends" option to help you price it out. here's what came back when i put down a used nexus s 4g:

definitely not the $200 you were seeing. and there were several that were listed for around $100. again, sorry for the off-topic post. hope this is useful to you and anyone else that's thinking of picking up a new phone in the coming days/weeks.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] narddawg314:
I searched "epic" to see if anyone had asked, but I didn't see any posts related.. OP says the i9000 Galaxy S will run this ROM and I wanted to know if that also applied to the Sprint Epic4g?

thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
No support for that device. If it runs the same SoC as i9k then in theory (as in concept, not tested me thinking out loud) You could find a CM7/9 modem + a cm9/ICS kernel+ the /system/usr/keylayout/ all for your phone use i9k framework found in i9k and the base it could work. But as I said that's me thinking out loud and krarvind does not offer any support for your deivce or if it decides to melt etc etc .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cyburke:
I DID READ THE FAQ! :)

Where on the device can I find the "Settings/ASS/OTA app/Apps/" folder?

Already have a root file explorer and have tried looking on the system (not the SDCARD) but can't seem to locate this on the 3.5 build.

Would like to flash the default ICS launcher as I like that better.

Thanks!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
what i did was just flash the add on package over the base and essentials. that includes the stock launcher and the zeam launcher, then just choose stock launcher as default when you press the home button
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cyburke:
gotcha.. i guess what confused me was this from the FAQ:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michael.ahdett:
Press menu at home screen > settings > ASS etc. Think, man.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cyburke:
i didn't think to look within the 'settings' for this as i figured they would be flashable elements.

i do appreciate you directing me to the answer. and not being a jerk about it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Oodie:
I don't know if you got the answer or not , but update me works with a working internet connection . When you go to the OTA App in ASS settings , there may be slight delay to show what's included , because it loads via the internet connection .

After loading the selections choose from them .
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
honestly guys, you should just head to the market and install apex or nova launcher. both look/feel just like the stock launcher with many more options as far as customization. they might even be built off of stock launcher source code.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
FONTS

How do you apply the font packages? I tried flashing the fonts zip but it didn't change anything
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] prbassplayer:
It should allow you to read other languages that use other fonts not change the system font (just to clarify)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] allendj81:
got it thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mkpoto:
I tried changing my kernel to: Matr1x and Air Kernel and still having GPS issues, I tried other roms and GPS works fine, anyone have any suggestions of what I should do?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] michael.ahdett:
Reflash the rom maybe? When I have clear line of sight to the sky I get instant GPS locks. If you're trying indoors you might be expecting too much.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mkpoto:
ive tried that and it doesnt work inside of out, i had another rom installed and it worked perfectly

data issues

has anyone found a fix for the data reconnection that is happening. it seems to me to be across all 4.0.4 roms that I have tried which is at least 3. I seemed to have it ok on the stock that was floating around (but then I had tether issues which lead me here) but its back on this rom. Any help or direction to a post I overlooked is much obliged.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
What problems and what kernel are you using?

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] akabadnews:
Just wanted to say, I've been running this since 10pm last night and I love it.

Especially the smaller dpi. This is exactly what I've been looking for in a ROM, and it still allows me to customize everything I want.

Although I would like the option to change the original battery icon/clock/signal colors from blue to white. But I can do that other ways.

Great ROM. Great work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] magicwands:
The problems i am having relate to the data connection not coming back up after leaving wifi or a weak signal area. The bars will come up either stating 1x or 3g but they will remain greyed out. Switching back and forth from airplane mode does not get it back only a full reboot. I am running kernel version "3.1.10-gf95d155-dirty ar@ar-Lenovo-B570 #4" and my baseband is D720SPRLC1

Thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
i ran into this issue often prior to the 4.0.4 release. kind of figured that bug had been squashed as i haven't seen it since, but... perhaps it is alive and well. did you do a fresh install or was this an in-place update from older versions?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] magicwands:
this was a fresh install with a full wipe. What radio should I be using? I am switiching to Matr1x kernel now and will report back.

thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Sounds like your phone doesn't like that radio. I had ALOT of the same issues until I flashed back to the older radio.
