I'm just happy overall that i got much better battery life compared to stock JB 4.1.1 AND get this..no funky freezing issues, yet(hope i don't jinx it). I'm in the process of recalibrating my battery stats and as of right now, I'm at 6% remaining with a screen-on time of over 5 hours! Whoo hoo! Also, yes... I too am getting an odd bln issue where the softkeys light up when getting a text, dunno if that should be a good or bad thing.

You on Oct. 31st release or 19th?
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Yeah, looks like it. I have some doubts reflashing it will work but I think it was just a random thing.

Acknowledged and replicated, I'll see what I can do.

Custom IOCTL doesn't kill "project butter", that's an inaccurate thing to say. The bionic also shouldn't have a significant impact on battery so I really don't know about having more battery life between those two versions. If it's in fact better, it's because of the kernel.

What do you mean by this? Softkeys lightning up when getting a text is precisely the reason why I want BLN.
[Nexus S Android Development] anthonyp326:
Why when I send a pic thru messaging its sideways?
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
yeah, happens to me sometimes too...even when i was on rooted stock 4.1.1. why is this?

Oct. 19th release. not to be mean or anything, but you could've taken a look below. i would've thought i made it red for a reason, lol
[Nexus S Android Development] waterface:
Whoops. :cyclops:

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Heck yes it's inaccurate. I can't tell any difference, I was wondering if anyone else could.

So you say kernel changes on the 31st Oct. version ("slub tweak, rwsem algorithm, crc32, lwk patches from CM, glibc versions of memcopy and what not") could have impacted battery drain. We're talking small differences, right?

(Does kernel have that big of an impact on battery life anyway?...)
[Nexus S Android Development] Pugaciov:
BLN simply does not work for texts. It does for calls and mail, but not for text.
[Nexus S Android Development] waterface:
I really don't see this, even without having flashed the libsurfaceflinger.so fix from the link in that post a few pages back.

Can you tell me an example operation to perform where this lagginess shows up?
[Nexus S Android Development] nexususer1:
It works for sms as well.
[Nexus S Android Development] Pugaciov:
Yeah I must add: it only works if I'm using stock messaging app. If I use Handcent SMS or Go SMS, it doesn't
[Nexus S Android Development] Pugaciov:
I switched to Matr1x kernel 24.0 and now BLN works with Handcent SMS too.

Thank you for your vanilla rom, because my mom has my Nexus S now, and she doesn't need all the mods we got for our NS.
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
OK, I'll wait for that, it might solve the syncing issue I've been experiencing in a bunch of JRO03L Roms that I've tried - Google photo isn't syncing ( I.e. Google photo folders are not appearing in stock recovery app) and Google+ instant upload function also not working as it should.

Thanks.

Ok, since this ROM have old gapps, and I don't like the fact that my Picasa photos aren't synced, is there any way to implement new music and original gallery? Can I just re-flash some newer gapps, or I would have to do clean install? Thanks....
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Updated sources, rebuilt, included root, latest gapps (packaged by rasengan82) and latest thalamus kernel with BLN.

Now the download method is via torrent, make sure to help seed.

If you don't know what the hell is a torrent, use google and here's a client: http://www.utorrent.com/ or Bitlet.

Probably no need to wipe but backup just in case I'm wrong and there'll be apps conflicting.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
I got 99 percent but a stock ain't one, hit me! :cool:

Does it have a recovery wiping script?
[Nexus S Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Great pack knzo, will seed!
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
You need gapps-b.

[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Nyet, you can flash it over the last one. However, there may be conflicts between applications. Backup beforehand just in case.
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Crap, I forgot the modified liblights. Here's a patch for it (I also put this link in the first post). Next release will have this fixed.
[Nexus S Android Development] technogravy:

[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
I've been monitoring it and it has been seeded without problems so far (there's always >10 people).

Still, I couldn't but chuckle reading that in XDA ("seed please").
[Nexus S Android Development] apatal:
Great update, dev. Sync working flawlessly now. Had to restore my personal dictionary but all in all, excellent and clean. Kudos!
[Nexus S Android Development] sdhanjal15:
Finally got it to download. Wasn't patient enough. THIS AWESOME!!!!got stock going for both my devices. Aosp win
[Nexus S Android Development] Imppy:
Is this faster than androxide?
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
This is a clean AOSP with just Gapps and Superuser (userdebug lunch flag already inserts su - root).

The point is not being faster than everything else but stable and vanilla.
[Nexus S Android Development] siffar:
Ditto. Seeds are zero now. Only 6 peers
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Impossible, I have 2 seed boxes permanently on and I can see 8 seeders in the swarm right now.

But I'll upload it to mediafire or so, it seems that torrent isn't that reliable. Still, it was fun.

How is it that some of you guys have a lot of games/apps installed and still have great battery life? When I newly flashed strawberry with only a couple apps installed/restored, my battery life went over 5 hrs screen on time, now when I have more apps/games installed/restored, I got a little over 3 hrs of screen on use, could google voice search be draining it in the bg? Also, I HAD it clocked up to 1.2 GHz but currently at 1000 MHz. Another thng, what's a better scheduler to use while the screen is on, deadline, noop, or cfq?
[Nexus S Android Development] Basche:
Well it's possible that some apps are constantly running in the background. Personally I like deadline, it's all about personal preference. Also found this informative thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631894

[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Uhh, we have someone new to the "scene" here. Allow me to educate you:

The number of apps/games are irrelephant for battery (unless they lock).

Governors and I/O schedulers are not that important either.

Overclock isn't that significant too (unless you play games a lot).

Task killers / battery savers suck.

90% of the user's complaints come from their own usage and not the ROM/kernel.

So what's important?

Screen time and brightness used (3-5 hours of screen on is good).

Watching out for draining apps (idiots think the correct way to gauge this is through battery % when the phone is idle).

Using the ****ing toggles. Don't need 3G and data? Disable it. NFC? Bluetooth? GPS? Disable it.

Do you want zomgbattery? It's not with X, Y or Z ROM or with SUPERCHARGGEROMFDFGM SKNFDSN mods/tweaks or "Insane battery" application. It's having the screen on less time, playing less games, having less brightness and using kernel with as much stable CPU code as possible. Oh, and keeping an eye out for draining apps (incredibly ****ing rare).

just to match up with what you informatively given me...

Uhh, we have someone new to the "scene" here. Allow me to educate you:

*The number of apps/games are irrelephant for battery (unless they lock).

-ok, gotcha. what do you mean "unless they lock"?

*Governors and I/O schedulers are not that important either.

-noted. using interactive/deadline

*Overclock isn't that significant too (unless you play games a lot).

-from time to time, i use 1 GHz/1.2 GHz and sometimes a lot of gaming, sometimes a little

*Task killers / battery savers suck.

-only have the default system task killer and no JDUltimate this time around compared to the last time i did with 4.1.1 stock

*90% of the user's complaints come from their own usage and not the ROM/kernel.

So what's important?

*Screen time and brightness used (3-5 hours of screen on is good).

-i use a screen time of 30 sec, that fine? brightness, i have it just low enough to the point where the screen doesn't flash green(using the suggested voodoo script that was posted around here)

*Watching out for draining apps (idiots think the correct way to gauge this is through battery % when the phone is idle).

-would i need to kill all the apps running in the bg under the Running tab?

*Using the ****ing toggles. Don't need 3G and data? Disable it. NFC? Bluetooth? GPS? Disable it.

-i don't use these constantly, so they're off most of the time anyway

Try flashing gapps. Or check your settings. And make sure you dont have some battery saving apps.

Hi,

Just wanted to say that this is the best jb rom I have tried. So smooth!

I have a question though. I read somewhere in this thread that if you use the marmite kernel, you should use the cm nightlies one. I have been having the odd random reboot (no changes or overclocking) every once and a while with this kernel so I was wondering what other one would be good to use with this rom, or should i just stick with the kernel that came with the rom.

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Kolero:
This is so true! Last month, I was using too much data on my phone and hit my limit 4 days before my billing cycle was over, so I turned the data off. Using no data extended my battery life considerably. Also, because I was too busy at work to use WiFi or even play games, my screen was rarely on and after 26 hours unplugged, my battery was at at ~70%. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
So where can I find this BBS dump file?
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Dude your battery is fine, let it go. Anyone who gets >= 3 hours of screen on can't have problems with their battery. At least I won't bother to look at that dump. Or any other for what's worth. I have been here long enough to know better than caring about battery complains.

Uploading new version but it will take some time as goo.im is very slow.

Do not download it until it's out of the folder named "uploading (do not download)"...

This version is a bit different from the others as I removed a lot of crap from it, most of you will have a heart attack when you see the app screen.

FOR **** SAKE.
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Reuploading, I removed Trebuchet (CM launcher based on stock) because it was slowish.

I really don't know how people can use CM for Nexus S at the moment. Bloated, laggy, buggy.

That's all I did coming from 10/31 to 11/6 to 11/9 and I haven't encountered any issues yet. I'm also running Marmite 6.7 which, as of right now, is a more stable combo than with 6.6 where I got a random reboot every day or so.

Coupled with marmite 6.7.3 best battery life I've ever had. Expecially in 3g

Knzo , I know you removed some apps, any reason why you removed the E-mail app (not gmail) ? I restored it with a TB version from the last rom, but it was always crashing "Exchange stopped working" :| .

Thanks for the work nonetheless :)

what is the best kernal to flash for this? i am getting random reboots :(
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
Matr1x v24.0 CM has been stable and fast for me since i flashed strawberry 11.09

Overclocked at 1320mhz and did some wifi, temple run, some other games, sms, calls, google search, playstore, etc., no reboots whatsoever.

Marmite 6.7 is quite fast also but when you overclock you get reboots.
[Nexus S Android Development] alexxdj:
i use marmite 6.7 and works fine all day without reboots!
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Ok guys, new version coming today. It'll fix those wlan reboots and I'll put some apps back.

FAQ:

- If you are in Strawberry and you just want to update the ROM, you should only wipe dalvik-cache (not mandatory, I don't wipe).

- Supported kernels are: Marmite CM, Matrix CM and Air CM. Recommended kernel is: Hypothalamus (comes with Strawberry).

P.S. In the expanded statusbar (near power toggles) try clicking the date and time. ;)

Hi,

I'm new to the Nexus world, and decided this looked like the best custom ROM to flash. All is well so far, except I notice that on the drop down notification area, the "clear notification" button is often cut off. It seems that the time is too wide, and pushes it off the right side. Is this a common bug, or have I messed something up?
[Nexus S Android Development] Pugaciov:
I'm having issues with the audio mode power widget button. If I enable and use it changing from an audio mode to another, it automatically mess with the mobile data, turning almost randomly the data on or off.
[Nexus S Android Development] Miguun:
That also happens with me, its and Android bug, not one from this ROM.

It happens because the icon does not have space left because of the date or time (normally when the time has 2 digits in the hour, for example 20h00 the icon is cut off, when it is 1h00 its back to normal).

m1l4droid , will that put notification power buttons back to white?
[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Uploading, reboots are fixed. You can download in 30 minutes (when it's out of the uploading folder).

does this rom has the brightness slider?? ( I mean the old one that you can choose to put under or over the toggles..)

Thanks for fixing things up. If you don't mind a question: is the fix with the kernel or the ROM? I'd actually like to avoid reflashing the ROM because I did a bunch of mods and I'm too lazy to do them all over again. If it's just the kernel then it's no problem.

[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
Will I really have to keep answering these questions until every conceivable scenario is addressed?

Just make a nandroid backup in the recovery and flash it. If it works good, if it doesn't then you need to wipe.

I can be sure anyways. But you shouldn't have problems coming from RBJ.
[Nexus S Android Development] gfinockio:
Hey knzo - probably easier said than done, but don't sweat the little people and their issues. Their questions just show how much they respect your work, in a round-about way.

Keep fighting the good fight. I'm really impressed with your work, and I've only been a Nexus owner for a week now. You are one of the greats.
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
You can go straight to the latest version, whatever version you're coming from as long as it's strawberry. Just wipe dalvik cache.

Edit: xda app fail, 1 page late
[Nexus S Android Development] noobiekins:
No, don't wipe dalvik cache, there is no need as the cache will rebuild whats needed at each start anyways, wiping will make the first boot longer than it should be, 5-10mins instead of 2-3mins

[Nexus S Android Development] knzo:
At a quick glance there's not much information but seems "low-level". Attempt to replicate it if you can but I think it was really a random one. The calling code is untouched (at least since the first Strawberry) so until there are more reports of this or you can replicate it (and so can I) I'll just discard it as irrelevant.

[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
I'm not sure, but since you say "preparing SD card" takes a lot of time, maybe there's something messing with media scanner? try backing up your SD card somewhere, formatting it, and then restore only the files you need. Maybe it will help...

I don't think it does. Rasbean doesn't, and there isn't anything about init.d in changelog of strawberry. You can try this add on, and be sure to install busybox in /xbin instead of /bin

I guess the opposite is true - if you test it with AM/PM on (at, say... 10:30) you'll see it gone.
