[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Yeah don't do that. Don't punish yourself by comparing your Android experience with that of iOS. I bought my wife an iPhone 5 as a gift and the user experience just blows anything I've tried with Android out of the water. Of course, you have to keep in mind that Apple's hardware and OS integration really shows in their products and unless Google can learn from that or at least optimize Android to the point where it can work well in whatever hardware you put it in, we can never get the same level of experience. I guess it all boils down to what's important to you. I love to customize my phone and keep it updated that's why I'm sticking with Android. The iPhone just works but at this point, I just can't stand their UI decisions. I can't bring myself to look at the same thing again and again. Also, a lot of things come easier for Android especially since I'm hugely invested in Google services. Perhaps if Apple will add customizations to iOS, I might consider it. And perhaps bigger screen (I'm a huge guy with big fingers). For now though, it's android all the way for me. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LibertyMonger:
My experience with 4.2.1 on my Galaxy nexus was bad at first but it just keeps getting better and better. I will assume the Nexus S is the same. Not all is perfected in 4.2 with Gnex either. We have the same "complaints" but we will get there!

***On a side note, I gave my niece my Nexus S and she has this hot pink theme she can't live without. I was wondering if someone can point me to the right direction to any good pink type themes that will work with 4.2.1? I am impatiently wanting to flash 4.2 to her Nexus S but she goes home today so I have to wait til I can locate a theme for her. Thanks if you can help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Yeah I guess you are all right. It"s kind of senseless to compare iphone 5 and a nexus 2 :) I really enjoy the level of customization but I wish my phone performed just right without having to do crazy **** with it. I guess the price of iphone 5 doesnt come from nothing :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
Using Helly_Bean 4.2.1 12/21 with marmite 7.2.2 OC'd to 1320mhz (ondemand gov., cfs sched., +25mv all freq) and to me it performs like a dual core smartphone. (Well, not iPhone5-ish dual core, but you get the point) Thumbnails load twice as fast and lesser lag on mainstream games as compared to 4.1.2. Battery life is also good. I got 77% battery left, 20hrs on batt.

I'm quite impressed actually.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
I've read through this thread, nice one OP. You're a regular contributor to Nexus S forums and the type of user we all appreciate.

My experience mimics most people's ... 4.1.2 is sweet and I have a nandroid of Slim 3.1 (4.1.2) that I keep returning to. But the Slim 4.2 beta was released a few days ago and I gotta say it's the smoothest 4.2 user experience for me so far & I've tried them all [Rasbean, Articudos, der Teufel, Xylon, TSM etc]

As for features, Slim already has many popular ones from its 4.1 ROM that works well in 4.2. Maybe 'slimming' the package size helps make it work better on our ageing Nexus? Not sure why or how but my need for the latest and greatest is satiated once again, at least until *groan* Key Lime Pie is released and my itch to stay current returns. Hmm that may force me to splurge for the Nexus 4 ... how about you guys?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Sounds like a glowing recommendation of SlimBean. I'll wait until it gets out of beta then I'll give it a shot. Last 4.2.1 I've tried is CM10.1 and sad to say, it still doesn't meet my standards on good user experience. Thanks for contributing to the thread. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
I have been a tester for slim roms, ever since Krarvind began his original work on the Nexus S. Tarak continues the tradition of excellent work with 4.2.1. Even though labeled a "beta", it is quite refined. Do yourself a favor, give it a try ... It is a very capable daily driver, even in beta.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
OK. After the recommendations, I flashed SlimBean 4.2.1 Beta 1 and am still running it now. This makes it my second day and the longest I've stayed with a 4.2 ROM for crespo. I'm running it with the latest matrix kernel (v24.5) and am so far, liking the experience. My guess is that whatever "slimming" they did for the ROM has truly helped my aging device run the new Android version better. Granted, it is still not up to par with my experience using the 4.1 ROM I'm running before, but definitely the experience is better than what I've experienced with CM10.1. My hope is that future iterations will offer more stability and improved performance, as features are something that I am not too concerned about. For now though, I will be running this on my crespo as I have yet to hit a snag or any kind of bug. The Slim Team has really did a good job on this one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
Yeah, I'm not sure how they do the slimming, but it definitely helps our devices. And there's one thing for sure, Tchaari is a great guy, hard worker, and very responsive. I'm really happy that Krarvind started all this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Unfortunately, I ran into the dreaded "black screen" bug on my device while running Slim Bean beta1. This is when from sleep, your screen refuses to wake up or turn on even after pressing the power button (or volume rocker if you had enabled volume rocker wake), but you see the capacitive buttons light up so you know your device is running... it just doesn't want you to see it. :D

Anyway, the ROM is not at fault as I have also encountered the same bugs on other 4.2 ROMs for the crespo. Unfortunately, it happened 3 times in succession, during which I had no choice but to do a battery pull and reboot. Still, I find the ROM quite good and I look forward to future releases which will hopefully address this issue. For now though, I'm back to my ever reliable 4.1.2 vanilla ROM. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
I keep checking cm10.1 from time to time just to see if things are getting better and they really do. I just cant stand that laggy crt animation. It makes the phone look so not classy. Just the opposite a nexus should look like when locking.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

Oh, and Apatal, you may want to check the latest cm10.1 nightly. It really is quite fast and smooth. Just stay with the default cm kernel to remain the smoothness.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
OK I'll give the latest nightly a try. Thanks. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Good luck with that. Havent had an issue with it. Just the crt animation and a slightly slow keyboard.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Speaking of which. Is their a way to disable that animation? Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubnub82:
Its been better than 4.1.2 for me. I'm surprised with how much more smoother it is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Yes, you have to disable window animations in developers options. It will make windows animations go away, as well as the crt animation. Android is a great disappointment for me :) You have to turn someting off to make it look good :D Nonsens:)

Oh I just came back to cm10.1 and to turn off the animations you have to follow 3 steps:

1. turn off "Window animation scale" in Developers options.

2. turn off "Animator duration scale" in Developers options.

3. Reboot your phone because phone needs it to fully disable all animations.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
Try formatting your sd. Then reinstall rom, this time don't respite apps in tb just install from market.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
I hope its going to get only better with new releases :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Well, second day I've been using cm 10.1 and it's great! I turned on all animations back because a lot of nice things disappeared with unwanted crt animation :) i instaled cyandelta to keep my rom up to date. This app is awesome ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Yep. Used that too back in cm10 days. Yeah I've been running stock cm10.1 for a couple of days too. I think it's starting to grow on me. :o
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Yeah. It's really really nice now :) just the glitchy crt, but I can live with that. Hopefully, it's gonna be fixed soon. However, this bug occurs even on galaxy nexus with stock rom so it's basically an android bug. It's not just nexus :) I don't know if you like the new lockscreen which I find useless. If you'd like to remove widgets and camera screen you can use this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...utm_medium=organic&utm_term=lockscreen+policy

Simple and you don't even have to reboot :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Thanks for sharing this, bro. I also don't like the new lockscreen - seems slow and clunky to me, but this app brought back the old one. Cheers! :beer:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
You're welcome bro:) glad that I could help :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Haaaaave you tried slim beam 4.2.1 beta2?

This **** is amaaazing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Yeah I'm tempted. In actually running 4.1.2 vanilla again. CM10.1 felt really clunky after a while. Is this better?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Its doing really good atm. Only 7h of uptime however :p will see how it goes on and how well it handles after a couple of days because now it's a speed demon :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Lol. Actually am running it now. That's how much I value your recommendations. :D

Running well at the moment. I hope I don't run into the black screen of death bug again. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Nice to hear that :) thanks. Well, haven't had any issues yet. Only the mobile data that doesnt directly work. Otherwise it's great. Oh and you also don't need screen policy anymore as it's implemented into interface settings :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Yep. Saw it. Thanks. Unfortunately, the experience still doesn't seem as fluid and natural as the vanilla 4.1.2 AOSP ROM I've been running before this. 4.2 is just too heavy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Yeap, I was about to say that ;p and the battery is superbad now. 6h with 1h of screen on and I'm on 39 % with data on. Daaaamn, no good. I will flash 4.1.2 and compare.

Could you link me with the exact combination of rom and kernel you're using?

I guess you're on i9023 aswell so I can see what smoothness your talking about :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Well, I just came back to cm10 and my phone is just so much faster now. I remember back in the days cm10 used to be slow when in nightlies but this stable version simply rocks. At least for now :p i'll have to wait to see how it works after a few hours because I don't wanna repeat myself just like I did with 4.2.1. At first it seemed good but comparing to this it's a slow piece of software. Not for our phone I guess. Maybe they just need some more time to make it faster, just as they made cm10 fast from slow.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Yep. i9023 user here. OK I'll share my daily driver setup below. No guarantees though. ;)

ROM: kwbr's stock 4.1.2 AOSP

Kernel: matrix v24.5 cfs

Mod: disabled CPU rendering

I'm staying away from Seeder at the moment until there's a final word on whether it actually works or if it has any adverse effect on the device's security. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
Thanks for sharing. I will check that soon as now I'm enjoying cm10 untill it gets laggy again :p

What do you mean by Seeder?

I just enabled that mod and the phone seems faster. But that as well may be a placebo effect. I'll keep it on to tell you if it really helps :) I hope it's not gonna brake my nexus :p

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apatal:
Yeah it's vanilla that's why there's no mods like in CM. Pretty fast though, just because the code is clean, I think. When multitasking, I find that vanilla ROMs always perform better than heavily modded ones. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexususer1:
I can't really notice enough difference in performance to sacrifice some features I already got used to :) I'll stick to cm for a while, if it gets slow, I'll try vanilla again :)

that was the problem ... i have a very long USB and i think i touch him ... :| i was to service and they told me is dead because i start flashing with low voltage ... under 3 V ... They can make with JTAG , for rewrite boot or another thing on motherboard .

Hi guys anyone knows how to compile modules for P3100?

I own a P3100, I want this Tab to run microcom on Terminal Emulator so that I can console/manage Equipments that run Rs232. In order to use microcom, I think I need to attached my Prolific USB to Serial Adapter to ttyUSBx. Furthermore, inorder to attached to ttyUSBx, I need usbserial.ko and pl2303.ko modules.

Although third party apps (Slick USB to Serial) can do this but I would prefer to run it via microcom.

I have successfully run this setup using SGS2 using dorimanx kernel.

Any one knows how to compile kernel, I would be willing to test.

Tried stopped all relevant Google Framework, Google Play services, Play Store App, removing Google accounts, and rebooting the devices for several times but all these do not work

I have scoured the internet looking for cupcake source code, and have found only this: http://netmite.com/android/mydroid/1.5/

I would download from there, but it seems a little immoral to overload their servers like that without permission. And they are not responding to my email asking for permission.

If anyone has cupcake source, would you mind uploading it somewhere? If necessary, I can give you temporary access to my dropbox. That is, if you can tell me why I should trust you :)

My last alternative is to slowly download from the netmite site, in order to not put unnecessary load on their servers :P As in, download it file by file O_o

As soon as I get the source, I will (attempt) to upload it to github. Honestly, I prefer googlecode with SVN, and will probably see if it will fit the quota there. Then this thread will be converted into a reference for where to download cupcake source :)
