[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoolyMarmot:
I got myself a brand new nexus S and Ive got some questions

Im debating on using a custom ROM or just go stock ICS.

A good reason why people use custom ROMs is because of better battery because of the kernel. so would it be possible to flash a better kernel on stock ICS?

If I am going with Custom,

whats the most Recommended:

way of rooting(1 click or manual, and why)

Custom recovery

best kernel

best ROM

is it possible to save a custom UI(so you could do dual booting through custom UI u made)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You can flash a stock kernel on stock ICS, this is what i have done in the past and it was great. However I will note that the new ROM modifications that increase usable System RAM make a very noticeable difference with no negatives as far as i see. You also get things like notification power toggles, more lockscreen options and so on with a custom ROM.

Anyway, to answer your questions:

1) Best way of rooting: We have a Nexus device so i would not waste time using one clicks. Unlock the bootloader using fastboot, flash a custom recovery and then either flash superuser.zip or a custom ROM. This allows the most versatility when changing ROMs, mainly if you ever decide to flash or restore a stock ROM. The Nexus S allows you to lock the bootloader if you ever need to so warranty issues based on unlocked bootloaders are minimal.

2) ClockWorkMod is generally the most favorable, compatible and least buggy of the lot. TWRP, although good, has a couple of hidden bugs in it and is no longer being developed. Further, CWM now gives you the option between a Touch based recovery and a button based one. This is up to you as they're both essentially the same, but i still prefer the buttons.

3) There is no best kernel, just the best for you. Find the features you want in a kernel first, and then pick a handful and try them all. If you are using a ROM with fixes for the extra RAM (CM9, Slim, etc), you will need a kernel that supports this.

4) Same with kernels. CyanogenMod is generally a good choice. Although on the surface it looks just like stock it is heavily modified. Others have only minor modifications and additions, practically a stock experience with a couple of extra features. Pick a handful with features you want and try each for a couple of days. Feel free to switch kernels from the one that comes with each ROM.

Custom UI? If you mean bootloader or something like that, not really. There have been one or two devs who have tried to make this possible (not specific to the Nexus S) but i don't think their (working?) attempts have taken off. Don't get your hopes up here though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoolyMarmot:
1. Im fairly new to android OS and while I do generally understand what youre saying its best you give me some links. The only root Ive done with a phone so far are 1 clicks :(

4. can you elaborate more of why cyanogenmod is a good rom. I hear about it alot and people recommend it,but why?

also, what ROM do you use yourself?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
It'll all make sense as soon as you do it, I assumed you had a read through some rooting guides for the Nexus S.

The Nexus S uses a little flashing utility called fastboot. fastboot gives us the ability to replace certain parts of our phone with customised versions. For example, you can replace the stock Recovery partition (which only lets you install Google-signed .zip files) with a custom one, such as TWRP or ClockWorkMod (which let you install any correctly-formatted .zip file). To be able to use fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader. On our phones it is possible to lock it again afterward with no trace, but the phones warranty would technically be voided (<-- scare tactics). So basically, you unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then you can freely install a .zip file through the recovery which gives you root privileges. Afterward with this new recovery, feel free to install custom ROMs and the such straight through it.

I personally used Zedomax's guide found here. This does exactly what i stated above and gives you all of the tools to do it, as well as a video. Just follow the video to a T and you'll be fine, it is all pretty simply laid out. I personally use CWM recovery though, not TWRP as it is no longer being developed. I'm pretty sure i explained what each of the steps do above.

CyanogenMod, unlike most other ROMs, have a somewhat large team of developers working together. They add many features to many phones which are often ported to other ROMs, whether it be the concept or the code. It is a great ROM once stable with countless features and they generally do a great job making sure everything is just about perfect, and there is plenty of support and a large userbase. This doesn't mean it's the best, it is just one of the most known.

I personally use Slim ICS daily right now. Largest benefit at the moment is compatibility with CMs bigmem mod, the phone loves the extra RAM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoolyMarmot:
well in that case I dont wanna use cyanogenmod. I was thinking something as close to stock(or just simple) as possible because I plan on using themes and widgets to customize it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoolyMarmot:
1 more question before I root, does it matter which version of OS it has? For example, this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007782

nvm, phone already rooted :)

new question: is it possible to dual boot roms? Ive been reading and they say its possible with using particular apps and an SD card, but the nexus S has no sd slot so...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastdayonearth:
hello xda-ers , wanted to know if there's any feedback or user (noob) friendly changelog for the new cm9 nightly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] danielr410:
Hello people.

I happily got mi i777 from ebay a week ago, I had it unlocked so it can be used here in my country with Galaxy_S Unlock from market and everything went allright. Then I flashed my first rom (ICScrewed) and worked right for around 5 days untill I decided to go for ICS with Phone Bricker, doing good too for about one day.

The problem began when I saw the phone had no signal anymore (made some calls like 15 minutes before that happened). I tought sim card was missplaced so I tried taking it out and placing it again but still no signal. Later I saw that IMEI was gone and baseband showing an "unknow".

So, to sume up, when I get in to "phone status" there is no baseband, no IMEI and no IMEI SV.

I know there's a lot of topics about this, but I decided to create one since nothing have worked for me (even having the backup that Galaxy_S Unlock created when I unlocked the phone).

There's a list of what I've donde:

1. Back to stock UCKH7 with I777UCKH7.pit file and ticking "repartition, "Phone EFS clear" and "Flash lock".

2. Downloading GSII_Repair and follow steps.

3. Downloading kTool and trying to restore EFS folder.

4. With root explorer, erased current EFS folder on the phone and replacing it with EFS folder that Galaxy_S Unlock created.

5. Follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

And ABSOLUTELLY nothin worked for me :( that's why I'm asking for help here.

Sorry for my english.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

I can think of two possibles offhand - one, the sim card is bad - try a replacement (even a pay-as-you-go, or borrow one) just to see what happens. Two, a hardware failure - depending on who you bought it from, you might be able to get a return - or now you know why they sold it.

Sorry I can't help more - but if a different SIM doesn't work, I'll bet it's the hardware (especially if you really cleared back to stock).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] danielr410:
I've tried another SIM and doesn't work either.

I don't think it's a hardware issue since it doesn't show IMEI or Baseband info.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
My HTC Desire was restarted due to low battery long after I restored some backups (app + data) with Titanium Backup. When I booted back into Android, it showed 1MB of free internal space! So thought it might be the 4 downloads I had, so I deleted all of them and Android then said it had 61MB of free internal space.

Then I rebooted but now I only have 216KB free space!!

This is the second time it's happened and I've tried everything including SD Maid and every single app is linked to the SD card's 2nd partition. This didn't happen when Installing apps from the Play store or from Easy Installer; and Avast finds no problems.

It keeps saying "Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped" etc. and the phone is very slow including booting.

I'm not willing to re-flash everything again and manually install each app, especially as the first time re-flashing, Clockwork Recovery said it couldn't mount the SD card, then after formatting, Windows 7 wouldn't recognize it, then neither would (after formatting using gparted)!

I'm only using Link2SD on ICS for HTC Desire 0.4.4.4.1, default HBoot, Clockworkmod Recovery Touch 5.8.0.2, aGPS and default homescreen with no scripts.

Edit: After 30 minutes of booting, I took the battery out. It now won't go past booting (the animated 'X screen') and it takes ages to get past the 'HTC' screen to the boot screen.

Edit 2: I booted into recovery and cleared all caches and fixed permissions and after booting it doesn't say the memory is full! Thanks for your help! :)

What else did it move and is the data on the first partition of the SD card or the second and can I remove the SD card safely?

Sorry I meant I chose the built-in a2sd but I used this app called Link2SD as I have a second partition on my sd card for apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryther:
How have you partitioned your SD? Primary and secondary FAT32 or primary FAT32 and secondary EXT? I've never used Link2SD 'cause i prefer the script way, but i think it works the same way.

If you are using EXT for secondary, i recommend you the 4ext recovery, if you are S-OFF you can install it directly from the phone using the Updater form 4ext.net.

Then I suggest you to do:

A nandroid backup

A backup of your SD data

Repartition you SD using 4ext

Check partition allignment with 4ext

Do a full wipe

Restore your SD's backup

Restore your nandroid backup

Re-install 0.5.1 and select built-in a2sd

In rom use terminal like bortak stated, but say NO to moving appdata (slowed down my phone a lot)

Uninstall Link2SD

This will give you a standard installation for a2sd.

If I were in you, i would format everything (except SD card first partition) and start from scratch with the built-in a2sd method without Link2SD; you'll have to reinstall everything and lose every data (backup with TB if you can), but you are sure to run a rock solid method to "enlarge you space" :P

If you are on double FAT32... well, i cannot help you there :rolleyes:

Bortak, correct me if i ever say stupids things :P i want to help out and you surely are a master in troubleshooting and point to my errors :D

I'm actually running BCM 3.0U0 + 3.0U1 update with m2sd (with apps and dalvik on ext), 100% V6 supercharged and ScrollingCache patched... i have to say, in my opinion, it finally surpassed Sandvold ICS!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
Thanks a lot for the help, I've followed the steps and everything's working now! :D

I used 4ext recovery, which appears to be a lot better than clockworkmod, with more useful options. 4etx said that the partitions weren't aligned (which I previously set in clockworkmod) so I wiped everything and made fresh partitions which were perfectly aligned. I'm using 0.5.2 now with a full format.

I had/have fat32 then ext4.

I've noticed that most apps don't appear to be on the SD card though. Any advice?
