CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20131111-0506-crespo from the Carbon-Rom the mirror

Tried the following:

- SlimRom Gapps (AROMA for 4.3 build 2) -> fail

- Paranoid Android Gapps (link from PA thread) -> "Can't install, didn't detect appropriate ROM"

- CM Gapps link suggested from Carbon-Rom site, 4.3 version (20130813)

Devil_kernel_crespo_20130206 download from Devil Kernel thread here

Installed some time ago, when I first started flashing SlimRom (this summer) ClockworkMod 6.0.2.5

Steps I followed:

- Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache,

- Wipe Dalvik cache

- Format /system partition

- Install zip from SD (choose CarbonRom)

- Install zip from SD (choose Devil kernel)

- Install zip from SD (choose gapps)

One of the times I tried I skipped the gapps part (didn't install it at all, just to see if I can get to boot).

All the above had the same result: Boot stuck at Carbon Rom logo for 10 mins+.

True, I will have to give it a try...

Remember that your experiences are appreciated here as well.. :thumbup:

Agreed, I'm on it right now and tryed it with the latest Devil kernel, but right now I have it with Marmite 8.6 C.M....I like another 4.1.2 rom werry much aswell, its BB6 which I tried with Marmite 7.3 at the time, and a couple of days ago with that script that alowed me to put a CM kernel on it, so BB6 with CM Devil Kernel is pretty snapy....by the way does anybody now why are the 4.2 roms deminishing sistem sounds? I'like the S3\S4 sistem sounds, especialy the deep look\unlook sounds, so I noticed that in HellyB 4.1, CM 10 and ather 4.1 roms the UI sounds are louder, with 4.2 they get whashed out. Why is that?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I have thought of a comparison chart,.. A good idea indeed!

Good points on Slim.. The build 4 was not good, but 5 seems to be great.. A lot of ROMs are using the dark feature and Slim pie as well...

My version of Carbon, (my goto ROM) is modified from the start to remove anything I don't want or use.. (Possibly a couple tweaks as well).. The Slim sizer is cool because you can remove an app that you don't use..

Does anyone use live wallpaper anyways?

Do you use daydream?

Those extra files (ROM depending) add up to 10mb of clutter...
[Nexus S General] dark'em:
Well Daydream is always disabled on my phone as it actualy prolongs the charging time, and as to live wallpapers they are cool but I don't want my battery to drayn to fast so I never use them
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I think the problem goes deeper... All sound seems to be quieter... It's like a new hardware update for 4.2.. Though remember you are talking about a ROM that was never intended for use on our phones..

Google stopped support on our phones at 4.1.2

We have the best developers, bringing us these updates, remember to thank them for keeping our awesome phones young..
[Nexus S General] kanishkapd:
same here. i also dont use the live wall paper to preserve battery.

slim version 5 charges up quite fast even without fast charge and having day dream on as well.
[Nexus S General] Me Gusta:
Nothing beats rasbeanjelly 4.1.2!! Maybe cm10 stable does, but those are the two vest Nexus S ROMs. They both have very smooth ui's which can not be said about 4.2.2, or at least not on my device :(

Me Gusta!
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Jelly shot and Rasbean 4.2 are both super smooth, though true, most 4.2's feel a bit laggy and jittery...
[Nexus S General] Me Gusta:
Yeah, I've tried both and they are the best 4.2.2 ROMs, but it just feels different.. so I'll just stay with 4.1.2 :)

Google and Mozilla really seem to be working together on some things, it was apparent on the 2013 I/O Google conference.. I am only speculating, but if Mozilla do start making phones I think they will be Google compatible...

Finally, I´ve got it! I had to use different version of Devil kernel. The version 20130206 was for 4.2.x. I used 20131010, which is for 4.3 and it works! Maybe it will help you. :)

[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I have another tweak package that is a combination of just stuff I found and edited and put together.. :)

I sampled from:

FlyonMod,

Pure Performance,

Operation KillJoy,

Codename LightningBolt,

rPx Ultimate Edition

Fluid Engine

Possibly something else shiny???

This is a combination of init.d / sysctl.prop tweaks, and build.prop mods...

I left out most of the tcp mods as my internet speeds actually suffered.

I left out the modified binaries

I also took out the modified read ahead as it only helps if the system is really over taxed, otherwise it is actually slower.

This is for 4.3.x and 4.4.x roms, it may work on others, you tell me..

**Improved scrolling smoothness

**Better general responsiveness

**Battery improvement

**Internet improvements

Possibly cures cancer (further testing is still needed on the cancer research)

As always, this is not my work, do not complain to the original developers about problems!!

This is a highly modified version of the original design and may have flaws

Flash at your own risk!!

I am not responcible for any issues that you or your phone have due to flashing this, nor for world hunger..

ENJOY!!

If it is fast, bug free, and adopts google's play store, it might make it for cheaper/lesser devices that can't handle a big operating system...

Though I do see fake/ knock off phones here in France all the time running hacked versions of Android and IOS...

I would love an operating system that could do the web, apps, calls/ text, but not need the power of a small city to run... Even the earlier versions of Android, though requiring less weren't faster, smoother, or more battery friendly.. (argue this as you will, but I can get over 24hrs with 5hrs screen time on 4.2)
[Nexus S General] BBuZZ:
Yeah, but it has to face Android, ubuntu touch, windows phone, and the lesser iPhone (wich is dying very quickly...)
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Really, windows?.., I find Microsoft not to be that big of a player in the phone world, and Apple, though expensive as hell, makes a nice product (like a Porche, it's the same car every year, but they boast on how much they tweaked it).. I used to be an Apple user... Ubuntu only has a small following in the computer world period, let alone the Phone world and Android is still the best.. Their numbers are around 900,000,000 active Androids.. Amazing..!!

I didn't really have a point here.. as you age, you ramble on a bit.. lol
[Nexus S General] BBuZZ:
Windows phone and iPhone are just to simple to me....and i was an iPhone user also.. (Jailbreaked it, unlock it, fiddle with it, and in a week got fed up with it, and traded for xperia u, xperia play and nexus s...lol).. But i prefer windows phone over IOS...and Android above all...if ubuntu touch gets stable on our ns, it will be great..saw a vid of ios vs ubuntu touch, and ubuntu rulez..

And is this better after the update and why?
[Nexus S General] dark'em:
Ok so my experience with Nexus S so far is: 4.2 doesent work snappy for me (just a personal opinion not a critic), 4.1 best roms (again for me) are BB6 (with the rom tweak to use CM kernel, most notably Marmite 8.6 CM) and HelyBean (with Marmite 8.6 CM, the last 4.1 Helly is reliced in the same day as the last CM10 stable) and affcours CM10 stable; For 4.0 I only tryed Metal Dragon Overloaded (it'was pretty decent, and the overall feel wasent of a outdated rom plus I love it's default theme). Eaven if I didnt try Gingerbread roms on Nexus S I think that CyanMobileExperience is awesome (it was the rom of choice when I had a Galaxy Gio), and I bet CM7.2 would be great aswel (is it just me or CM7 was the most feature rich OS that CM reliced, the options compaired to stock wore pretty good, but after it with CM9 and the rest tht followed t seames CM made it's roms as close to stock as posible)

I don't know if the experience is different for the ns but on my ns4g the Rasbean builds are smooth and fast. Also Rascarlo really stepped it up between 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. I may be a little biased though, ha.

im not the biggest fan of ports but rasbeanjelly rom and latest marmite are running beautifully

also shoutout to jellyshot aswell!

Those 2 have been the best interms of battery and performance

MinLroid Review

Okay, just had MinLroid 4.2.2 installed, with both stock kernel and Marmite 8.6,.. If you can get past the system ui crashing upon booting, it is a decent rom, but lacks many features I look for, but had pretty good battery life. I found it a bit laggy at times, but it was smooth, I will update my chart (page 1) with it's ratings.. I am on BB6 (Black Bean 6) now and so far, very promising.. I will give a full review after a couple days.. :)

Hi everyone, I used to own a Nexus 4, and decided to downgrade to the Nexus S. Having poor experience with the AOKP ROM on the N4, I'm wondering if there are any major bugs for the AOKP ROM on the S? For example, on the N4, it had a hard time remembering the WIFI, and I had to manually type in the password to my WIFI setup at home, as well as at work. Sometimes I would forget to do this and get charged a lot for data usage.

Long story short, please let me know if anyone has experienced "major" bugs (ie. phone / wifi not working, etc... the big problems) on the AOKP for the Nexus S.

Thanks!

Who wants to try a modified ROM?

I was playing with bb6 and stripped out some apps, ringtones, animations and modified the build, init and touch.. added gapps minus some apps and language files.. It is only 170mb total and after flashing newest marmite, should be smooth, fast and battery friendly..

I would love to see how you like it..

4.1 Rom review

4.1.x Rom review,.. Okay, the first time I "down-graded" to 4.1 I was really hesitant.. Such a loss in features, blah, blah.. I don't miss 4.2.. I know there are great roms that are 4.2, but 4.1 just feels smoother. I have tested both versions and several roms in each version.. According to benchmarks (which aren't accurate) 4.2 is faster, hands down.. but app loads lag, the scrolling shudders the ram get demolished like a pile of cocaine up a junkies nose.. but "faster".. 4.1 is smooth and effortless across the board, it doesn't boast high bench scores, but it just feels faster?? (Remember to check the first page for a comparison chart).. Bb6 is in my opinion a 4.2 killer.. it has all the features and none of the lag. It is very smooth and it's only miss is that it isn't as battery friendly as I would have hoped for ranging around 16hrs of normal use.. I didn't notice any major differences in CM10 to bb6 as far as battery or smoothness.. Cm10 isn't packed with a lot of features, but it is solid.. Hellybean is in the middle, I loved it's alternative recents menu, but it doesn't quite have all the features of bb6, but tons more than Cm10.. All these roms I would recommend a kernel change to an updated version, as it seems to be more battery friendly..
