Hi guys,

I am running the IAmTheDarkOne 4.2 build for Nexus S crespo dated 11-2012-14.

The apps below all show an "incompatible" message on both the web and

phone versions of the Play Store.

Attempting to restore the previous versions from Titanium Backup causes

the phone to display a "Restoring... " message permanently and without

success, until I manually reboot the phone.

Could people please tell me if they work on the newer builds of 4.2 and 4.2.1:

vouchercloud

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vouchercloud.android

Invitation Digital e-mailed me to tell me that Vouchercloud is definitely compatible with Android 4.2,

and that the error is probably due to my build being built from AOSP.

I have requested an APK that I can download separately but they have yet to reply.

I have not e-mailed the publishers of the following apps, so if those of you who also own a

Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4/7/10 with official OTAs could test them on those devices as well then that should establish

official and unofficial compatibility with Android 4.2.

You should just make your own rom if you don't like this one. Everyone else is enjoying this and your the only one why isn't. So stop complaining because I think everyone is tired of dealing with your dumb comments.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kitch16:
Anyone got a mirror for the Cyanogenmod GApps? Goo cannot find them :/
[Nexus S Android Development] muller37:
Use these gapps

Cheers!
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
I'm aware of this as I do a fair amount of work on Linux which is why the source is available check my website.

Also fsync being disabled won't crash your phone. fsync would cause you problems if your phone crashed while writing data. I tend not to crash my phone so I have not had issues.
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
Hey,

There was an issue with the build.prop in that release that was causing the play store to work incorrectly. You'd be much better off upgrading to one of the later releases. You shouldn't need to do a wipe or anything.
[Nexus S Android Development] krfoy:
Thanks for response.

I mean disabling fsync crash files in /data, which made my phone unable to boot.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
I don't get this fuss about what OP uses in his PERSONAL kernel.

Every friggin 4.1.x kernel works fine (at least those intended for stock) on 4.2, so just flash what you used before, or another kernel with similar specs.
[Nexus S Android Development] krfoy:
Ok, I just want to say it is dangerous.

Many kernel developers/maintainers here disabled fsync before, including me. And most of them enable it by default nowaday.
[Nexus S Android Development] mik3di3s3l:
ok so these are my results after an actual 8Hour day working...ive done messaging, calls, music(a lot),and pdf reader...this is a very noticeable difference compared to previously using HellyBean. i am using air kernel r3 for CM. i havent had one issue yet on this kernel. thank u for the port! now if this only had volume rocker controls ;)

thx again!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] mik3di3s3l:
sry for the 2x post, please remove
[Nexus S Android Development] ataranea:
hey so im trying to check out the rom, but im getting a "can't open" error during recovery mode. getting a (bad) error. anyone get anything similar to this?

EDIT: FIXED. THERE WAS A SPACE ON THE ZIP FILE.
[Nexus S Android Development] ppamungk:
Using stock kernel, bluetooth audio is stutter and rotate display not working... Using marmite v7.1.3 bluetooth is better but crackling sometime.. Display rotate is working.. Batt drain is still happenning for me.. And no deep sleep for me..
[Nexus S Android Development] drac13:
Flashed latest ROM [11/27]

Everything seems working except calls .... Can recieve calls but no sound on accepting , same on outgoing calls.

[NFC / Bt not tested, GPS fix is OK,no battery drain issue]

No developer menu in settings

Is this an issue with wrong radio?

Nexus S I9020A AT&T , Board: herring
[Nexus S Android Development] sidnoit22:
Just go to the phone setting and then About phone and click on the last button 5-6 times and Developer menu enabled.
[Nexus S Android Development] debaj:
No such issue for me. I9023, stock kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
Very odd about the phone. I've not heard about this issue yet. Is it possible the phone app somehow was corrupted on install or something? Did the phone crash on your at some point?

Developer options is disabled by default in 4.2 go into setting -> about phone then the build number field 7 times and it will enable to developer options

Ah my bad I should have read further this one was answered
[Nexus S Android Development] drac13:
I had that (no sound in call) issue with 4.1.1 also cannot send SMS .

SMS issue is not there but still can't get sound from phone calls, Skype talk etc works fine.

Also how to get email app? Not able to add custom mails

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

Call was working on full_crespo-ota-eng.dark

No errors at flash will try flashing again :)

Good job on the OP dude, it looks so much better now. I'm working today, but saturday I'm trying it for sure!

I installed K9 Mail, I think it is one of the best email clients for Android.
[Nexus S Android Development] drac13:
reflash again ; now call working good [this time i did a reboot before installing gapps]

K9 mail is OK but i still like the stock email app ; any reason for removing it from build?

thanks to all ...:good:
[Nexus S Android Development] Bucci:
I'm testing currently, but:

- exactly like drac13 - I miss email.apk

- BT looks weird - there is not possible to find any device, and also the phone is invisible (in case of visibility)

Even all other things are perfect, battery drain is plus minus the same as for 4.1.2 (knzo metal dragon), it's smooth without bigger lags

(from my point of view, could by used as my daily rom)

Thanks for perfect work
[Nexus S Android Development] muller37:
For stock email extract email.apk and exchange2.apk to your sd card from another rom/gapps and install them via root explorer etc.

They're under system/app after you've unzipped it btw.
[Nexus S Android Development] drac13:
Link for Apk provided by IAmTheDarkOne

http://www.mediafire.com/?j2636e04cp86c8w - Contains Gmail2.apk and Exchange2.apk

[There is already an Exchange2.apk in /system/app folder]

procedure used:

Extracted files to SDCARD

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

cp files to system/app

chmod 644 copiedfiles

adb reboot

tried installing by copying to /system/app [using adb shell] , and reboot ... doesnt work

tried adb install which throws NO CERTIFICATES error :)
[Nexus S Android Development] james300:
can u add adhoc support to this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] jamesyl:
Stock email doesn't support IMAP idle (push email). Pretty big oversight, IMO. K-9 supports push, used it for years without issues.
[Nexus S Android Development] cool_yking:
voodoo sound please... !!!
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Flash any 4.1 kernel with voodoo sound or <insertrandomfeaturehere>.
[Nexus S Android Development] V_tunes:
Hi, iamthedarkone i like use your mod rom, but can u upload the rom to another place, like BOX.com or dropbox etc. Because the mediafiles is not reachable in my country.
[Nexus S Android Development] cool_yking:
:D
[Nexus S Android Development] nero17:
if you dont have root, you got to flash the cwm via adb in "settings>developer options" (activate it through pressing seven times the "build info" in your phone info, then go to the main settings screen and activate it in developer options), then connect yourphone in fastboot mode with your pc, and search on google or xda for rooting or installing cwm.

if you got root permissions,install rom manager from play store and try install the cwm in the options there..dont know if it works xD

don't forget to thanks :good:
[Nexus S Android Development] AlenKing:
best way is fastboot. just download cwm.img ( if you cant find one i can upload it here) and then in your phone go to dev otions and turn on debuging, then download fastboot and drivers for your phone if you dont have one and on your phone go to fastboot mod by presing VOL + AND POWER BUTON TOGETHER AND PLUG YOUR PHOE THRU USB. after that go to your folder where you put fastboot and cwm.image and hold shift and right clik on mous and chose open comand window here and in cmd write this "fastboot flash boot cwm.img" and "fastboot reboot" and that is it ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] bluefirex:
You are my hero! Everything is working now. I wonder why Google didn't release 4.2 for Nexus S because this is the smoothest the Nexus S can get.
[Nexus S Android Development] stojshic:
Because this way they will sell new phones... If they continue to update NS they will sell less N4's... I, for one, will sell my NS just because of the software... When you see there are no new updates, that's first indication that your phone us getting old, and it's time to move on... :)

when I tried it, I had about 170mb *free, but that was with almost no gapps installed...I imagine it would be close to 110-120mb *free with gapps and stuff in the background
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
293MB used with apps running.

Already flashed it, but ty anyway! But I'm a crackflasher, so I wish to try all there is!! Anyways, are there any problems with this ROM? And is root working?

Only build prop needs to be edited for phones name change. For root you can flash superSU from forum around here somewhere. For other bugs look there at thread. :)

wipe all partitions, change recovery, fix perm, wipe dalvik... no matter what i try i get a Status 7, either for perms or symlinks.

Anyone has an other idea?

[Nexus S Android Development] Cuyi02:
How come everything's so small and distant? Can someone tell me if I did something wrong or is this part of the rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] federicolandra:
It' is normal. The OP decided to reduce pixel density so that the lockscreen's clock wouldn't be cut off. If you want to revert to normal dpi, as i did, you should install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tYXJ1dGlhbi5kcGljaGFuZ2VyIl0. However, if you do that, your lockscreen clock will be cut in the middle. Make a decision.
[Nexus S Android Development] Cuyi02:
Thanks. I'll install it. I just can't get used to how weird the homescreen looks :P
[Nexus S Android Development] GianFahmi:
how about the "december" in the calendar? is it missing too from this rom?

Hi,

Does flashing this rom wipe my existing apps and data?

Also, which kernel do u suggest for good battery life!

Thanks a lot .
[Nexus S Android Development] nikolas60:
if you coming from another android 4.2 rom you dont have to wipe and you dont lose your apps and the best kernel for me is matrix kernel

Nexus s doesnt support zoom. In official apps.

Sent from SpeedMachine i9023
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
Well said man. The zoom doesn't work because the Nexus S doesn't have zoom capability and the bluetooth doesn't allow for deep sleep because that's how it is designed. I'd imaging it has something to do with disconnecting and reconnecting to bluetooth everytime the device sleeps (your headset may not reconnect in time to answer calls) That's my theory anyways

Can anyone look in the build.prop? Thanks in advance.

From a Nexus S bathing in Jelly Beans
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
Yes I found that running GPS in all cases included navigation etc all locks in. On the older rom other apps then maps had issues so I'd say yeah it's fixed. If you have issues still let me know and obviously try the gps.conf mods

I added a mediafire link due to popular demand.
