Is anyone else having the issue where you plug your phone into your car stereo to charge (not a car charger but the USB port for fruit based devices) and the screen is forced on. Every time I try to turn it off it just turns right back on and it will not time out. This happened on the default kernel and matrix.

i just started trying this rom out. I got mobile networks and wifi working perfectly. i just have a quick question about the app drawer. is there a dedicated onscreen place to launch the drawer? so far from the homescreen ive had to softkey Menu > Applications. Is this the design of Slim or am i missing something? (it's defaulted to zeam launcher and i can't seem to find the ics default launcher) LOVE the ROM otherwise. Thanks so much!

EDIT: nvm, found it -_-
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
Stock ics launcher is in the add on zip. You can add an app drawer shortcut by long pressing an open space on home screen & choosing "applications"

wtf have i been missing?? i'm really liking this ROM right now... thanks krarvind!!!

a few minor gripes but nothing i can't fix on my own... i REALLY disliked the included launcher and quickly installed the stock one... i'm still searching for a launcher i like but it's def not zeam lol... other minor gripe is the location of the notification toggles (under the date) and the way they look (background) along with the limted options to add toggles... unless i missed it, is there a WifiAP toggle?? i use that one a lot for a quicker connect for my tablet :D like i said, most of those things, i can fix... but i can't add a new toggle not included lol... so hopefully that's in an upcoming build or hidden somewhere already!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] vidaljs:
Im totally digging on this ROM...it has everything I was looking for. It all works fine with no issues, except one.

Now maybe Im missing something here but everything is so small compared to all the other ROMs that I flash. I even changed the font to HUGE and it still is small. I've attached some screen shots to show the comparison.

Is there a way to configure the ratio of the screen size?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Dialer Force Closing

When using 160 mdpi (and changing the display text to "huge"), the dialer crashes when trying to make or receive a call. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
dialer only works 182 dpi and higher.. 160 is too small anyway and i will remove it in the next release.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
i haven't looked at it since i changed to stock dpi... but i believe once you change it, you can't go back to the 182dpi that came with it

I am having this exact problem with location services. Also my gps takes 5 to 10 minutes to lock on every time. I have tried multiple clean flashes and I get the same problem. Sucks because I really love this ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:
I guarantee it's not the ROM"s fault my gps locks within seconds and i am sitting in my living room. I have a nexus S. Use GPS aids to test or set the right gps server.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] vidaljs:
If I may give my 2cents on the GPS issue....

I have a Sprint Nexus S 4G And my gps also locks within seconds.

I did a full wipe, reset and used "wipe all" zip for everything else just to make sure I came in clean.

So maybe do the clean sweep and retry it again.

IMO... this ROM is the best available in the 4G section since I've tried all the new ICS ROMS... this has the best stuff that I need.

I came from the HERO using Koush's GB ROM so this ROM has the similar smoothness when its clean and simple or stacked with a bunch of Apps.

take care and good luck

Can anyone recommend a fix for receiving pictures via the stock mms app? When I receive a picture it just says "downloading," yet won't download.

Ok just when I thought I found the perfect ROM, I just found out that none of my gameloft games

Work with this ROM. I restore them as I usually do with T.B. but when I try to start any of them

I get a, "this game isn't compatible with your device. Please request a refund". I was like wtf? These are all games I've played with other ICS ROMS, so why not with Slim? If

Anyone can guide me to the answer it'd be awesome....by the way other than that this ROM is niiiice

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
the MMS issue is not with the mms.apk... it's with the ROM... not trying to be negative here, just stating from experience... when all these ICS ROMs first started hitting the web, some of them had mms issues... not sure what they ended up doing to fix it but you might be able to browse some of the threads like aosp's oICS and check the earlier changelog and see if they mention anything about it... just a suggestion!!

really love this ROM btw... but i need my MMS and not sure if it's just me but GPS has locking issue for me too... keep up the great work!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rift999:
I agree the themed mms from earlier doesn't work either. mms Is a must for me. I think I am going to have to switch Roms until this is figured out but will defiantly be keeping tabs for when resolved.

I second that.... I installed both your new MMS app and GO SMS and sent a MMS to myself... only the GO SMS worked.

The new MMS apk that you gave us me the download box and once pressed it will say downloading but nothing but a error message saying "message not downloaded"

I hope that helps
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] krarvind:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
My Experience....

I have installed this rom (on NS4G Sprint) and everything works flawlessly (3g, 4g, wifi). The only thing that didnt work was receiving mms which was fixed by installing "GoSMS Pro" from the market which is free. You just have to go into the mms setting for GoSMS Pro and check off the box that says "Stock MMS app is uninstalled" or something to that effect. You dont have to uninstall mms.apk, just check it off. It tells the app to handle all incoming and outgoing text & mms. The downloads on the receiving end work flawlessly & automatically. Also check off the option that says "prevent duplicate notifications" so that the stock mms app doesn't notify you as well as GoSMS Pro. I also went through a specific procedure to get this to work this way. I have 2 zip files that I downloaded on XDA from various rom forums. These have been my main ways of wiping EVERYTHING. No stone is left unturned just by installing these 2 zips. They get rid of boot, data, cache, & dalvik. I have never had any issues installing roms because of these. The "Wipe All" zip wipes boot, data, and cache. You can guess what the "dalvik wiper" does....;). So install the Wipe all zip first, then dalvik wiper, then the rom zip, then the 4g patch, and your good to go. No need to do any wiping through Clockwork. Then just install and set up "GoSMS Pro" as stated above and you should be good to go. Hope this long message helps someone. GREAT ROM. My new DD.

Edit*** Just another note, I was coming off of another rom and I restored all my apps with data using titanium backup with no FC's. Just thought I would add that important piece of info. :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cam6489:
Can someone tell me if they got the apps to automatically sync when you first flash this from?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] PRBajista:
I can, and that would be a no. Market did not pick up my previously installed apps. I always try before I restore with Titanium Backup. Its worth the money to buy that app if your flashing new roms.:D

Nice ROM

This is a nice package.

I have it running for the first time along with Matr1x 17.5. Speed is excellent with virtually no lag -- something I always had with the other ROMs.

Hard to tell about battery life at this point, but after calibrating and using 100/800 Wheatley, I am down to about 90% after 3 hours of idle/light usage while in areas of strong wifi or decent 3G signal. A little more decay than I had with some others, but it is early.

I went ahead and am using Go SMS (lite) and will see how that goes.

Has anyone tried this ROM with Nova launcher? What are your opinions on this v. Zeam launcher?

Hi,

My GPS has worked since initial install.... so maybe try a different ROM to test it out. Then do a clean install and try it with Wifi to test it out first.

Google wallet is toast on rooted phones... well there are some work arounds but it not worth the battle. You could flash to the ROM when it last worked before Google decided to leave the rooted community out in the dark... but until they decide, I wouldnt hold my breath.
