No, you're not the only one. My phone, NS4G, does the same. Seems like many of the OTA 4.1.1 ROMs do that. Especially, with Goggle Voice I get a lot of FC's & slow responses. I'll be typing a message & the key presses will stop responding & take a while to catch up; & "by a while", I mean I've waited as long as 5 minutes for it to catch up & register what I've typed, or which message I've tapped on. This, for me, seems to be the only really bad app of the bunch. Yes, I've uninstalled & reinstalled it. I've also been getting some bad reception/wifi/3G with the latest baseband...I mean, worse than normal for our phones. I'm talking, sitting within several feet of the wireless router & Air Rave & getting less than perfect wifi & registering -86 or -96dbm at times. It's not always like that, but the signal, for wifi & phone/3g, seems to jump around a lot more than usual & not be as strong at picking up decent reception as it used to when being farther away from the router & Air Rave.

However, it seems to be like this for all of the OTA ROM's I've tried.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
What kernel you using ? I suggest you try this ROM with thalamus kernel which you can find in general section try it out!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Finally found an mms w/auto split. Pulled from another rom. It works a little bit, but mostly fc with the unfortunately messaging has closed. It would be cool to have this for this rom. I'll keep trying.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
Any updates? Need a flash fix :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
There was an AOSP Android Update to 4.1.2.

Are you going to work on a AOSP ROM with this version?

I'm going to look into a build environment setup. I do not have Sprint or 3G so I can only test 1xRTT data so i'm probably not the best to do this.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hlxanthus:
Unfortunitly, until google releases the binaries it makes building problematic.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dscatto:
Wasn't it only released for the N7?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Jbq released this 4 Nexus 7. Adds compatibility for the next Nexus tablet.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

I take that back. After more study, it mentioned the gn also but states something bout new hardware chip. And I'm assuming that this would be 4 new n7 and gn, not our phones? Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
It was released to AOSP so no. Not just for the N7.

Looks like we have to wait for driver updates tho.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Well I guess we skip the R and go straight to K? I mean on this... JZO54K
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
Official drivers have been released for the Nexus S 4G for Android 4.1.2!

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

I'm going to look into building a ROM. I will need testers tho!

I'm downloading 4.1.2 source right now.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
I am comping AOSP for the first time. Using the propitiatory binary blobs that where just released.

As I said I will need testers as I cant test 3G or Wimax!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
I have a working 4.1.2 build.

I need to do some edits but expect a post of an update soon!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
I've ran into a sang.

Hopefully I'll have the update posted later today or tomorrow.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Did Cetenyck change his name?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] gonzo320:
Kinda wondering the same thing, is that you cetenyck?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
Are you asking me if i'm Cetenyck?

If so i'm in no way Cetenyck.

Once I have a working zip i'll make a new thread. May have it up at around midnight PST.

That's cool I guess, but I'll just wait for this rom.

Hi all

I finally have a free day. Been busy with work...yadda yadda yadda. has anybody tried the 4.1.2 rom? What doesn't work with a stock build?

I started a google hang out too if you want to watch all the fun

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] robogoflow:
I don't have a plus account so I can't hangout with you guys... :(

But glad to see you still updating this thread because this was a good ROM.

Did you fix the Google sync issue? Idk if it was in the 6th build but it wouldn't load my apps from the cloud when I first logged in.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Does everyone have WiFi?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
My bad. Google usually syncs wifi with the backup, but backup didn't work here. So used titanium & it didn't like xml. All good so far.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
Working on a fix for google backup.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] thunder2132:
I've done several clean installs, I'm still having two issues. Google Voice opens to a main page rather than to your conversation when you click on a notification (not an issue in any other rom) and the default browser asks for my location whenever it is loaded for the first time after leaving memory.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
1st Post updated with new build.

Please check google backup. I can't test because my phone died and won't turn back on.

Just got off the phone with sprint and it looks like I'll be getting a galaxy nexus tomorrow morning.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Congratulation on getting the G-Nex well deserved for the great work you put in this Rom very good & stable whenever I run it been using CM10 & Rasbean which I'm using now tethering to my Nexus 7!;)

I'm download this later & give it a go
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] robogoflow:
WHAT?!! Sprint can't do that?!!! Don't they know how much you contribute for the ns4g??!!! Woww.

lol jp.. im happy they gave you one.

Hopefully i can do the same. If your one year warrenty is up and you dont have insurance, if you phone breaks are you ass'd out?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
I have insurance but don't have time to wait for shipment. I am a system admin and depend on my phone for email and phone calls while I am out. Thank god for google voice. I would be up a creek with out it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ebs512:
May be a dumb question but aosp doesn't have theme engine/theme chooser support?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
Thanks for breaking it down for me :). Also, thanks a lot for making a .zip file. I haven't done things manually in so long.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Agreed, titanium back up makes it pretty simple though..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
Guys I will have an update.zip file that will be flashable in CWM. I am working on it but I have a full time job and don't get done with that until 5CDT. If you don't know how to flash or find that this is complicated then dont flash.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
No sir it does not. That would have to be CM10, AOKP, and a few others. This has no tweaks baked into it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
will flashing SU in CWM root this as simply as it did ICS? (I flashed the one in the OP)

Just asking before I just go ahead and do it..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
yes...just flash the su.zip file :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
:good: Thanks.. Nothing like seeing the # :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
In my excitement for the ROM and haste to leave work, I flashed the initial file and neglected to flash either a superuser file or a custom recovery. What would be the fastest way to get back root in this situation? ADB push the recovery of choice is what comes to mind first, but I am out and away from a computer at the moment. Any quicker alternatives?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
terminal emulator??
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
Boot to the bootloader and run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then select recover from the bootloader menu and flash su.zip
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
^ This and once booted up install CWM again via ROM Manager to make sure it sticks (Although CWM should warn you about it before exiting)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
he said he's away from a computer lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Ooooh yeah, how about that.. So he did... Yeah that could complicate things huh? :p
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
That's my fall back if I can't get it back before I get home and to a computer. Hopefully I can get it before then.

Also, I noticed the build identifies itself as something other than Samsung Nexus S 4G. This may cause problems with multiple listings in Play Store and certain apps that whitelist phones by name not being installable. The latter is a rare occurrence. Overall minor issue.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jwhistler:
Very eager to hear the impressions of those first adopters who have loaded this ROM. Is it really smooth, like butter? :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iceflow420:
this may seem like a ridiculous questions, seeing has how this is built with the official binaries, but what's working?

I would guess EVERYTHING as no one has said otherwise.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
I didn't see the su.zip on the OP..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
It's noticeably more responsive and smoother than ICS but I wouldn't go and say "Smooth as butter" which is a highly overused term people use to describe their performance on this phone.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
So far everything for me works. Just don't be a dope like me and forget to flash the su.zip.

If anybody needs help with compiling for the NS4G, send me a PM and I'll do the best I can.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Just 4 fun. If you add this to yer build prop, it will make home screen auto rotate. launcher.force_enable_rotation=true. Reboot!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Greefus:
Thank you cteneyck. This ROM is perfect imo. It's like the best of the ICS and JB OTA releases, but much faster, quick reboot menu, and no other useless extras. Amazing.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] calisoldier83:
the new version works flawless, just the way I like it!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:

Hey cteneyck, what do you think if I add this.....

<boolean name="semc_pref_key_character_conversion_visibility" value="true"> to com.android. mms preferences .xml .Which is found in /data/data/com.android.mms shared_prefs. Would that give us the 160 char split we've all been looking for, or is this a waste of time? Haven't tried yet.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
Probably not but you can try.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Yeah, didn't work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Cteneyck announcing he was done with the NS4G got my butt in gear a bit. Yesterday I grabbed some spare PC parts I had laying around and got cracking building a Ubuntu build box to start the process of learning to build AOSP and eventually get rolling on ROM building in general. So, after successfully building AOKP from source, I moved on to what I really wanted to build. Pure AOSP. The good news is, all went successfully. So, I will continue to educate myself and as time progresses move on where cteneyck left off. I plan on keeping my NS4G and want 4.2 on this device even if Google doesn't give it to us so I need to fasttrack myself a bit. :laugh:

Anyway.. I'm thrilled.. A day ago I didn't even have a computer with Ubuntu on it to building it, installing Ubuntu, installing the SDK, downloading gigs of source, *random Googling to solve issues*, compiling to spitting out a fully functional build..

So, thanks Cteneyck, you leaving was the poke I needed to finally get on with it! I'll bug you later to find out how to fix the MMS receiving stuff etc. ;) For now I have a hurricane bearing down on me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Very nice, I did the same a few months ago. But once the 4.1.1 OTA hit I just didn't bother. The most annoying thing about pure AOSP is the lack of Google Apps. Most Gapps around at XDA are very old, some including 4.0.4 stuff. The last time I created my AOSP ROM, I pulled the latest Gapps from the GSM Nexus S. Somebody should do the same for the 4.1.2 AOSP ROMs.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Yeah waiting on hurricane here to in Hampton Roads
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
I just flashed the latest gapps. I prefer not having every single Google app plopped on my device in one shot.. Give me Market and I'm good to go from there. :)

The most annoying thing for me was the lack of detail regarding proprietary binaries during the build process.. Even Googles little `tutorial' glosses right over the fact you need to install them in your source tree.. Luckly Googling around (ironic huh) highlighted that little issue and my build finally booted once I installed them into the source tree. :laugh:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shadowfox993:
If you are going to post the "latest" GAPPS then post the right ones please. The latest GAPPS is GAPPS-JB-20121011. Post the correct ones please. Thankyou
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Does anyone who still reads here know what specifically needs to be done to fix the MMS receive when building from source? It's one of the only things I can't find any information about. I've done great on my own getting my little AOSP build together but the MMS recieve is alluding me. Got my build pre-rooted w/ SU, deodexed build, Android 4.2 keyboard installed as default.. I just need the MMS fixed now. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] lurtis:
No clue but when you figure it out share your build!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
Do a search of the cm gerrit for Robert burns. He contributed for the ns4g. Also search github for Peter Alfonso. Both are awesome at coding and have a fix I believe.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
Thanks.. Never even thought to look at the CM gerrit.. Was a big "duh" moment. :laugh: Saw what needed to be done (very simple) and MMS receive works as intended now.

Getting involved in building my own AOSP ROM has been interesting, and fun. Love the knowledge and education I'm getting out of it. Sadly though there is too much misinformation you need to wallow through to get to the good stuff. Like how to build a OTAPackage of AOSP without it including the recovery.. I saw quite a few "Just delete the recovery folder inside the zip".. Which by all intent and purposes would work but imo is a dirty work around to something that should be done as part of the build process. Took me a bit to find Peter Alfonso's patch which worked perfect and the way I imagined it should be done.. Another bad example I saw was someone saying you pre-root a ROM you built from source by copying the SU binary from the zip file directly to and inside your compiled ROMs zip bin folder.. I KNEW that was wrong, yet this kind of misinformation is out there. Sure it would work but it's such a dumb way of doing something that could be done during the build process with just some reading. Luckily I'm patient and did a lot of reading so I could do it the right way.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
Looks like this will be the Final AOSP ROM for the NS4G!

NS4G AOSP Support has been dropped in 4.2
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jwhistler:
4.1.2 Still The Most Stable

Have tried all the others...including CM10.1 and keep coming back to this ROM. This is still the most stable, reliable ROM out there with excellent battery draw-down.

You'll miss a few of the bells and whistles found in 4.2 ROMs, but you'll not suffer any of the drama.

Thanks again to Cteneyck!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Highway 55:
Agreed! This ROM was my daily for a long time.

However Greeblue's 4.2.1 AOSP build is pretty damn close, if not equal, in performance and battery. As always, YMMV.....
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Bet if Cteneyck could do us a 4.2.1 build, it would be a beast!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] lurtis:
He's gone though. Off too gnex land
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jwhistler:

The link for the latest release is in a post a few pages back from the last page.

Make sure to read the OP thoroughly. This ROM is pure AOSP. It is not rooted, nor does it have photo sphere camera or swipe keyboard. You need to add that stuff yourself. I added trebuchet launcher from CM too.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
Everything seems to be working and very smooth. It will vary on device compared to the Galaxy Nexus. But is much better than ICS and Jelly Bean ROMS floating around. The only thing close to this is the Official CM10 ROM for the NS4G. Minus the tweaks, this seems to be better.

I'm just trying to get my root back so I can mess with these colors and over and under clocking.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
Thanks a lot..

I just checked it out and it's the app. I have the SU app installed, but I guess since I forgot to flash it before I booted the phone up is why I can't access rooted apps right now. For example: the SetCpu isn't working for me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] styckx:
I flashed the OPs AOSP package, the SU zip (3.1.3) and the Gapps package all in one shot and it was rooted fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
Awe man, see that's the thing. I didn't flash the OP. I flashed the .zip that was made for CWM
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rougegoat:
If memory serves the only difference is the cwm version doesn't touch recovery.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] UniqueNate:
I know, but something is wrong with my root permissions. I think it took root away. ROM Manager won't flash CWM. I can't mess with SetCpu. All rooted apps. I mean everything is working but I'm just working on getting the root permissions back.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cteneyck:
Ok I am done working for today. I am going out for a bit and will be back in an hr or two. Just need to get away from the computer for a bit

Just curious how come our screen doesn't dim when pulling down the notification bar, like the Gnex roms.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Suntar:
This isn't a custom rom it is the OTA update without the OTA part. If you want frills wait for AOKP or you can get CM10 from a number of links now. Oh and its been so long since I had a stock rom I forgot what is stock and what isn't anymore...
