4.1.2 > 4.2. I sometimes feel sad I went from cm10 to 10.1, because I still don't know why and I'm too lazy to go back.
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Finally! I thought I was the only one who felt this way! I've stuck with 4.1.2 after trying a bevy of 4.2 ROMs, especially when users go gaga over it, saying how smooth and fast and awesome it is. However, everything I've tried just doesn't come close to my experience with 4.1.2, especially with the vanilla AOSP ROM I'm using now. I think in my heart I knew it, I just don't want to acknowledge it: it's time to move on. :o
[Nexus S Android Development] anshumandash:
You are right. While the mind knows, heart doesn't agree. :(

So which phone to upgrade? N4 thread is full of complains about hardware issues and is not yet released in our countries.

[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
I feel you buddy. Although it's available here, prices are just too damn prohibitive. I mean why would I buy a US$350 for US$700, right? If the situation doesn't change, the GNote2 is actually looking very promising, spec-wise. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidWolf59:
Totally agree with you. All around I see many 4.2 ROMs with many users speaking about FCs, strange reboots, battery drain and so on. As I wrote some time ago it was the reason for me to come back to MDO and to tell myself "well, let's stay with it !". Thank you knzo again for your ROM :good: I think I'll go on with my Nexus S knowing all the cons but I think also that for a new smartphone I'll wait till I'll see something special, I can easily live also with an old one ... ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
This is very bad news knzo, that you will not build 4.2 Rom, anyway many thanks for the strawberry, One of my Fav Rom...
[Nexus S Android Development] Ted Mosby:
222 hours without reboot and counting :). I wanna hit at least 500h.
[Nexus S Android Development] leap_ahead:
Haha cool !!!
[Nexus S Android Development] gfinockio:
In a lot of ways, I feel the same way going from 2.3 to 4.1... Gingerbread was stable, fast, great battery life, etc.

I believe my next phone will be whatever Motorola and Google put out, probably Q3 2013.
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
If this phone's gonna die soon I'd probably go for the Sony Xperia Z because it's washable. lol :good:

[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
I did hear about this dust and waterproof phone announced at CES. I guess it should be washable because you have to wash off the dust you put it in just to test if it's really dust resistant. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidWolf59:
Sure you can ! I'm now at 432 hours (18 days) and all is going well, with no reason to wipe anything or having to do with new ROM or kernel or "hurry to reboot cause Nexus is completely freezed" ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Well, I'm probably moving to Microsoft now.

I like the way they tied everything together (desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile).

I won't have time to play around anyway.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
wat

Don't tell me you like Windows 8... :p
[Nexus S Android Development] Ted Mosby:
Wow, why so radical?

WP8 is nice OS but it seriously lacks features. UI is overanimated, for me that means it's slow. I don't need to mention that's way to expensive.

For ex. even the low end Lumia 610 with 7.8 update is nearly 40% more expensive than more powerfull Huawei G300 with ICS (512 RAM vs 256 in Lumia, both 1GHz CPU).
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Specs isn't all though. Animation adds fluidity, if there's hiccup it won't be as noticeable. Animation is used everywhere to calm down the user, such as when something is busy on Android you see the spinning circle instead of nothing happening. This makes you feel less like something is going wrong and more like you just need to wait a second before you can do what you wanted. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] gfinockio:
I went from Windows Mobile to Android back in the day. Windows used to be the hacker's dream - but Microsoft locked things down in the latest versions. I guess it's the lazy man's phone now, really. Not much configuration or tweaking. Mind you, not much app support either... but they do look good.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
Hahaha... very funny knzo... :D
[Nexus S Android Development] AzN MusiQ:
Hmm, why not?

I think I will buy the next iPhone. In Android there are too many features that I don't use. And Windows Phone doesn't look so good. So iPhone, or maybe a Ubuntu Phone.

B2T: Strawberry is awesome. One of the best Roms I ever have. Only the battery could be a little bit better but my nexus is so fast!

[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Actually even thalamus uses a Lumia now and is encouraging me to get one too. What could these developers see on WP that we don't? Probably how "buttery" the UI is out of the box, and the fact that, well, it just works for them. As for me, I couldn't trade the customizability of Android for anything else at the moment. Being able to do what I want with my device gives me a sense of ownership other platforms won't be able to provide, I'm afraid. :)

[Nexus S Android Development] Ted Mosby:
Yeah, I know but I think that I can acomplish certain tasks faster on Android, no matter how choppy it can be. Sometimes I hate that I got a this flash obsession, no matter how good some device on stock Android is, I always know that's some custom sh*t from some developer is better than stock. On WP I just know I would be left to the mercy of Microsoft, maybe that's good but where's the fun in that? :)

I put the 2 apks in system/app, reboot but the Keyboard is still the old one.

I flashed the Latest Keyboard zip, too but it's the same problem here.
[Nexus S Android Development] alen1901:
First use flashable zip. If that is not working, use the ones to manually replace. And put right permissions ofcourse. Then reboot. If that is not working, wipe cache, dalvik, fix perms and see.

Sent from SpeedMachine i9100
[Nexus S Android Development] AzN MusiQ:
Thanks, now it's working :)

but first I was able to change the keyboard settings. There were 2 keyboards, the AOSP and the normal 4.1.2 one. I don't know why ^^ And the AOSP was the standard one. And the apks and the zip only overwrite the 4.1.2 one.

So maybe it worked before too :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Ted Mosby:
Hm, does anyone has issues with File Manager (CM) and Root mode? When i try to set it, FM just force closes. I'm talking about the File Manager which is preloaded in MDO 4.1.2.
[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidWolf59:
De gustibus non est disputandum ... Hope that MDO will not become Microsoft Desperate Obsession ... :p
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Well yeah, I don't know why the surprise.

Yes, it's true that W for mobile phones is still lagging after Android but with time I started to value other things like the ecosystem, integration and out-of-box functionality. I have increasingly less time for customization/flashing and it's not going to get better since I'm moving to Seoul next September.

hello everyone... I installed this rom yesterday and I am very satisfied so far. to my surprise has a feature that did not know, sync contacts with facebook, but the problem is that the pictures has very poor quality, low resolution... is there any chance to improve this situation? thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Actually it did when I jailbroke it but the interface was ugly and far from practical.
[Nexus S Android Development] nijnvy:
I bought and installed Haxsync from the market.. great decision in my opinion..

.. Anyone have a problem with titanium backup converting an app to a system app on this rom. It just hangs, haven't had a problem with default settings on other roms..
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
That used to happen to me. And one day, it worked. I never knew how I fixed it. Might have been a TB update, a kernel switch, or just starting fresh that did it. :S
[Nexus S Android Development] Ted Mosby:
Nobody using File Manager from CM on this ROM?
[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidWolf59:
Nothing to do with Samsung ?! ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] :
knzo what about a github? Your rom seems the best 4.1.2 imho and also 4.2 is a bit of overkill for our old device. Providing your source may make someone continue your work...or may help enthusiasts make their own changes based on your very stable (to my experience) rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
I'd love to help but I have already deleted everything.
[Nexus S Android Development] gfinockio:
Quelle surprise.

Oh well - lots of other ROMs to go and try and use. Old news here. Maybe close the thread?
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Discontinued doesn't mean dead.

For me at the time of this writing it's still the best ROM for Nexus S, even though I may be biased. :D

I won't release a new version but I'll keep providing support.

AW: [DISCONTINUED] Metal Dragon Overlord v11.10

Yes, in my opinion it is the best Nexus S Rom, but in last times I got some freezes and the battery life is not so good like the from CM. I only got 3-3,5 hours when the display on.

But the UI, smoothness and the speed *_*

Here comes the average *censored* XDA user who demands updates in exchange for his loyalty. I've already said I don't think there's anything out there or that I can do in order to make this ROM better. Since updates are not necessarily a good thing, I'd rather not touch it than **** it up. 4.2's brought sluggishness and unneeded features.

The root permissions on CM FM is buggy indeed but I managed to get it working once with a combination of force killing, selecting prompt/root and navigating on the system partition. I don't remember how exactly though.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Place the 2 files included in this zip in /system/app. That will replace the existing file manager by an updated one. Make sure the permissions aren't changed from what they were. chmod 644 I think (just check before replacing).

Edit: Whipped a flashable file that replaces CM FM by the new version + fixes permissions.

Edit 2: Woops, pulled because that's only CM10.1 compatible. Will take CM10 updated FM and repackage.

Edit 3: Flashable version from CM10 20121220 up.

Is the download link still working(zip 100% operational )?

I tried flashing it (downloaded yesterday), but I'm stuck at boot animation (blue android text). I waited up to half an hour and it still didn't boot.

I then tried with a custom kernel on top of it and didn't had more success.

I have a i9023, might it be the issue?

PS: i re-downloaded it and no more luck... Shouldn't be a bad download either.
[Nexus S Android Development] zsparrow:
You flashed the ROM and then flashed gapps before you boot your phone?
[Nexus S Android Development] BenHeng:
In fact i might have flashed 4.2 gapps :banghead:

I'll download proper gapps and report back :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Android Development] zsparrow:
Here's the solution, it works for me: Flash the ROM, boot your device,left your device for around 3mins, turn off your device, boot into recovery, flash your gapps,and then boot your phone. It shall works now ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidWolf59:
This ROM has gapps included, you don't have to download anything but the ROM ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] gfinockio:
Tried my first 4.2 ROM yesterday - actually it was pretty smooth, didn't see any lag, didn't experience any slow down or crashes. But I went back to my backup with this ROM, mostly because I don't have time to setup my phone again right now. This is a solid ROM indeed, and really is a milestone for people to fall back on.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I'm surprised. After flashing some 4.2.1 roms for a while and trying as hard as I could to stick to them, falling back to 4.1.2 felt oh so good. 4.2.1 just isn't up to par performance-wise, guess it has to do with Google letting go of the Nexus S. *shrugs*
[Nexus S Android Development] gfinockio:
I only played around with the ROM for two hours or so, but I didn't seem to find a huge difference in performance compared to what I get with this ROM. Perhaps with more apps installed and running I'd see a slowdown... but I think 4.2 is a possible daily driver. But like I said - I'm happy with my phone's setup currently, so until I find the time to do it all over again, I'll stay here with this old ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Don't get me wrong, the 4.2 roms are perfectly usable, I've been playing with them since December 26th, but I don't think the quick panel, lock screen widgets and camera are worth the performance loss. I will miss the camera the most out of the additions, because it was great not having to unlock your phone to snap a pic, but otherwise 4.2 is no no for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Android Development] AzN MusiQ:
Yeah, I think so, too. The features are very nices, but the widgets for the lockscreen are ugly, the new camera is slow and the quick panel is not as fast as the quick toggles from cm,...

That's very cool that some people are on this rom at least. :)

New is not the same as best :D
