i installed the alpha3 and alpha 3.1. wiped to factory defaults with twrp 2.6 but i did not format sdcard. now i have the same issue as others reported, fc on aosp keyboard. the back key vibrates but has no function. anything else was not tested cause of polling keyboard force close.
[Nexus S Android Development] DaaT:
Thanks for mentioning the back key issue, forgot to mention it myself.
[Nexus S Android Development] lagloose:
This: http://source.android.com/devices/tuning.html is perhaps something to play around with and do some things for future releases...

@ kb fc....sounds like you flashed the wrong gapps

you need to flash 4.3 gapps....all other will fail

Hi there,

the rom seems unpredictably smooth and bugless so far.

However at this point after 2 days testing,

I discover some weird behaviours:

-after I enter the pin code, Volume+ icon appears in the statusbar: never before. [The 1.8.1.0 ver. works :good:]

-Titanium Backup is unable to remove apps (some of those usually removable)

-NsTools "CPU" page is always grayed on Governor and only Max and min freq options are available, even if I fixed permission.

don't for sure know if i was meant but i did install Slim_Gapps.4.3.alpha.3.x over Slim-crespo-4.3.build.alpha.3.1-UNOFFICIAL-20130805-1307
[Nexus S Android Development] wana7262:
great.... got 36 fps on my own game with this rom
[Nexus S Android Development] torchwolfery:
weird...

everything seems to work relatively well for an alpha but i did notice a couple of small things... One for some reason i cant change wallpaper at all... no matter where i try to change it from.

Two when i try to play videos i get a very small stuttering effect. its not major but considering that videos play totaly smoothly on the 8th slim bean its just something worth noting...
[Nexus S Android Development] chzzz:
Yep. I'm sure i'm installing the 4.3 GAPPS and still keyboard FC and back button not working.

(Slim_Gapps.4.3.alpha.3.x over Slim-crespo-4.3.build.alpha.3.1-UNOFFICIAL-20130805-1307)
[Nexus S Android Development] TechNoir:
I had the same problem. A simple restart cleared it up for me. Right after the restart I noticed I had a lockscreen wallpaper as well as a normal one. Before that I had installed Go Launcher and that was able to show wallpapers no problems, which I took to indicate a Nova Launcher problem rather than with the ROM as a whole. If you want to retreat my steps completely to see if that solves your problem aswell, install GO launcher from the market, set wallpaper using that. Then restart phone and select Nova Launcher. If working correctly, uninstall GO Launcher.

Hello There Friends,

on my side everything is working fine.. i just install it over SlimBeam 4.2.2 Build 7.8 after wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Cheers :D

I can confirm this, I'm looking at the file right in front of me, on my phone, it's "Slim_Gapps.4.3.alpha.3.zip"

Make sure to do a clean install (wipe and format) and don't overclock it... :)
[Nexus S Android Development] paydy12:
Full wipe including, Dalvik Chache and regular chache before installing done. But still having strange restarts once in a while. Also I have kept a SIM lock pw. Sometimes, it doesn't ask for the PW and some times its asks.

Another issue am facing is that the phone switches of when the battery shows 25%. Is there something i need to do with the settings to counter this?

And no overclocking done. did not fiddle with those settings.
[Nexus S Android Development] ppreuss:
I have exactly the same symptoms! And a lot of problems with the RAM, it's just too less with the never builds of Slim.

TomTom is working badly, restarts sometimes if I switch to map...

Others apps close being in background...

All this didn't happen with ROMS < 4.2
[Nexus S Android Development] debaj:
Try disable zRam in advanced/performance/memory management, I too had some strange reboots before I did it, the phone is rock stable since then.

[MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION] 1. does the rom/kernel come with OpenGL 3.0?

2. just want to know, is Build 1 much better than beta 5?

3. Anyone know if GravityBox is compatible with this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
You cannot sideload it. The Slimbean APK is a modified one and cannot be updated from Play Store.

Wait for SlimBean to update the AIO Gapps.

OR

Delete Youtube.apk from Slimcenter and download from Play Store.
[Nexus S Android Development] debaj:
The GPU of the Nexus S does not support OpenGL ES 3.0.
[Nexus S Android Development] Po0yAn:
So I'm back from build 1 to 2.9... and what a great ROM it still is. Miss the new features but everything else is so much better.

Just wanna ask is it possible to use dialer,KB and camera on 2.9?

NeXusS i9020T - ParanoidAndroid 2.+ - Air Kernel r1
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
2.9??? there is a build 8 that's the final 4.2.2 and build one that is current stable 4.3
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
surprisingly though, i received an update from the Play Store for the Youtube update and it was installable

Also, I don't know why the Google Search app that came with the rom can't invert though, as it IS a modified app that IS invertible, right?
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
I'm actually on 4.2.2 Build 8 and Youtube is not updatable here. I thought it would work the same way in 4.3 Build 1.

Don't know about Google Search yet. Will get back to you this weekend after I finally get time to flash 4.3 Build 1.
[Nexus S Android Development] Po0yAn:
Yes and I suggest anyone with ram/lag/stutter/multitasking issues try that and see how snappy NS really is. I've tried all the stable builds of slim for both 4.2 and 4.3 and none hold a candle to v2.9. That is the best experience I had on NS . Smooth with no reboot even after hundreds of hours of up time. Though you miss some android's new features ( which are not much ) and some of slim's great new features it totally worth it to downgrade it to 4.1.2.
[Nexus S Android Development] TsarFlow:
Where did you find a 2.9 ? Never heard of this :o That's what the guy you quoted was asking you...
[Nexus S Android Development] debaj:
I guess he is talking about the 4.1.2 based Slim (current version is 3.1.0)
[Nexus S Android Development] linuxxp:
With the latest version my phone is very slow and laggy. I make Full wipe, but obviously our phone is already old for the latest versions of Android.

The most stable version you've installed so far is Slim Bean 4.2 (but do not remember which was the base: 4.0.4, 4.1 or 4.2). Where can I download older versions? In http://slimroms.net/ have only last, but no Addons.
[Nexus S Android Development] debaj:
My phone runs it very well, even better than any 4.2 based ROMs I tried.
[Nexus S Android Development] linuxxp:
I don't know where is problem but when I install lastest SB for few days the phone is very fast. After that it starts freezing in random apps, appears Andoid OS drain and some other annoyng things.
[Nexus S Android Development] TsarFlow:
Our phone ? I'm on 4.3 and I've never had a smoother phone. I would say YOUR phone is getting old. Don't know what's the problem, but here, and for most users, the latest SB is running well.
[Nexus S Android Development] tricampeao23:
Hi! It's possible add or remove the options which are close of watch? The place I am talking about is the place where is the figure "owner". How can I change these options?

New weekly soon out (1.4) :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Po0yAn:
It runs great for the first days, but 2.9 ran great for a year without any sign of slowing down or losing reliability.

we know that android tends to slow down if you use your device heavily for a certain amount of time ( this being much more noticeable and used to happen alot on devices with limited amount of ram like og droid and ns) and you need a refresh which is the factory reset. Through almost 3 years of using NS and trying tens of Roms and kernels and different combinations, 2.9 with mermite v6 bigmem was the best combo I've ever had for a smooth reliable performance which never needed that refresh(aka factory reset and restoring your apps data).

4.3 build1 for me can't run a set up which contains a widget filled homescreen (3pages with gmail,clock,weather and tasks widgets = 36mb) with a few services like Wechat, Facebook and Google services running in the background. After a few days it constantly needs to close the processes (like the launcher) to free up the ram space for your current task and then redraw the launcher ( which all means lots of slow downs), music doesn't play smoothly in the background and you have constant crashing of apps.

I'm not bashing anyone's hard work of helping us experiencing new builds on our dear NS, which considering some responses I kinda felt I may did and I'm sorry if I caused a misunderstanding. I'm just saying my same settings on 2.9 needs some compromises on build1 to make the phone usable as a daily driver.

I meant no disrespect to team's effort specially tchaari whose work and constant help to Slim's NS users through these couple of years with slim is highly admirable. Being supported by slim team is one of my priorities to get a new device. I like s4 active but I didn't buy it cause I'm not sure if slim gonna support it or not.

All these aside my main question was if I can port new dialer and camera app to the old build which seems didn't get any attention.
[Nexus S Android Development] TsarFlow:
Short answer to this : Use Greenify App and CrossBreeder Tweaks, and tell me what you think about 4.3 after that. I dont OC my phone, using 200-1000 SmartassV2-Row and SD speed increased to 2048, no need to reboot phone after weeks using it.
[Nexus S Android Development] Po0yAn:
Sure I'm gonna try it for the next build! Thnx
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Though I mostly agree with this, he was still asking if you could get the updated system apps in 4.1.2. To which, I imagine there's compatibility issues, and probably would need ROM tweaks or apk tweaks to work, but I could give you an update .zip with what ever apps you care to try...

[Nexus S Android Development] Po0yAn:
Thanks to your help and consideration, but my problem is those compatibility issues you mentioned and the only person who can answer this here is tchaari who is the maker of both builds. We used to install 4.2 clock and photosphere enabled camera on 4.1 builds. So these may possible too
[Nexus S Android Development] tricampeao23:
Thanks a lot!!! Later I reinstall the rom.

I've installed the new build 1. Only thing I've noticed is I don't have ROOT access. Went to SuperSU and it told me the binary needed Update, but failed to install. Also Busybox fails to install. What's happening here? Thanks in advanced
[Nexus S Android Development] asafru:
Regarding root. I had the same issue. Just go to settings - developer options - root access and change to disabled and then back to apps and ADB. This should do the job.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
I have the same issue as you. Chainfire's SuperSU told me that binary needs to be updated. It went to recovery and did something and by mistake deleted the su binary. I Googled a little and managed to re-root using a flashable zip which installed Koush's SuperSU. Now, I had three SuperSU : Chainfire, Koush and Slimbean inbuilt. I proceeded to uninstall Chainfire's SuperSU and everything worked fine.

But, now, root does not work if i uninstall the Koush's SuperSU from the Play Store. It is as if it is ignoring the inbuilt SuperSU manager. How to safely uninstall Koush's SuperSU and use the inbuilt SuperSU now?

P. S. : I'm sorry if this confuses all of you. But, I just wanted to provide maximum possible information. :(

SOLVED Dirty flashed the ROM over the current installation. Works fine now without any hiccups. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] wana7262:
Many reboots... while uninstalling app, connecting as USB storage and using debuging...
[Nexus S Android Development] TsarFlow:
For root, take a look at Slim website... When you download read the intructions guys !!!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] punpanonicus:
SOLVED: This solved my problem. The root was not ON. And that's pretty strange because I've actually found an article that talks about how 4.3 is the death of root in android devices. Still this simple solution he gave, solves it. It's magic. Thanks bro

[Nexus S Android Development] linuxxp:
Hi again gays! After I read your posts I make Full wipe, Instal lastest stable build and then make sdcard wipe. The phone was fast for a couple of hours and then it went laggy.

After that I install Greenify app, flash CrossBreeder tweak and set this: 100-1320 SmartassV2-Row (I can't find how to increase SD speed). Then phone runs much beter, but still far from the required performance. For example: when I trying to go out from call history I must wait 5 seconds at least.

I'm using Slim Roms from the begining and I'm quite pleased. But with the latest versions notice slowdown on my phone. Is there a library with old versions to try?
[Nexus S Android Development] Mawtin:
Of course there is.

But keep note that these roms are not supported anymore

Camera Zoom

Sorry for the possible noob question ... but im pretty new to the nexus s but normaly able to use the search function ...

Got a used Nexus S and decided to go straight to 4.3:

- unlocking bootloader + flashing Slim-4.3.build.1-OFFICAL-885 + minimal gapps

So far so good, everthing seems to work fine: wifi, root, playstore ... no sim till now

ROM looks great!

But .. i am not able to zoom with the camera ?? When i 'pinch to zoom' the faktor stay's with 0.0x and nothing happens ?!

(Btw. i am able to zoom in GMaps, Gallery ...)

Is this normal? Any ideas?

Non-Holo Dark sections

Hi [MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION],

There are a few sections which are not Holo Dark but completely black. They have been like that since 4.2.2 builds (or may be before than that too). Please fix them in upcoming releases. I have attached screenshots to these sections. Do have a look. Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] notbrodie:
Isn't it supposed to be completely black? I thought the whole point was to help save battery on AMOLED devices

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
It should be completely black when TRDS is ON and Holo dark when TRDS is OFF.

Currently it does go down well with other screens. Some are Holo and some are black and there is no uniformity.

You get my point, right?
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
I get your point and I have the same issue as well. But I do use TRDS so it's no concern for me though.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
OK. I hope things get right in the future builds.

I have another small issue. I use the power control widget on the homescreen and similar controls on the Quick Settings.

When I switch on Wi-Fi (or any other option) from Power control widget, the status gets updated in quick settings.

But, this does not happen in the reverse manner i.e. changing the quick settings does not update the state in Power Control Widget.

Anybody noticing similar behavior?

I flashed the new build three times, but I have a problem, that was not in the build 4.2.2.

Sometimes my phone isn`t coming back out of the standby-mode and another problem is, that sometimes the phone can`t call somebody, than I have to reboot my phone than I can call my people.

Poor english I know, I am sorry

thx for any help
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Did you try formatting /system in recovery and then flashing the ROM?

Most of the problems are solved by a clean install.
[Nexus S Android Development] paul279:
Yes, always when i flash a new rom I format the /system

The problems still occure, now i recognized that my display isnt coming back after a phone call. The screen stays black after the call

Any solution? I havent changed anything on the rom and have only the simple google apps installed, feedly, whatsapp and a traffic app named scotty. Nothing more
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
I'm still wondering what could be the issue.

Final advice I can give you : Clean install again and wipe the SD card too. Test for the same problem again without installing any other apps.
[Nexus S Android Development] ppreuss:
I am very unhappy with the recent Slim crespo releases. Since 4.2.2 my Nexus S is slow and not stable at all. The memory is so low that apps get killed sometimes...

Greenify and several other medicines were tried by me without sucess (maybe I am just too stupid to do it right).

There may simply be too many functions inside the 4.3 releases for our device...:(

So I am moving back to v3.1, because despite all the great features, I can't live with the problems :-/
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
is Slim Rom the only rom that has different GApps options which include A-I-O and minimal GApps?
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
upon booting up my phone after finally flashing Build 1, i notice a strange graphical problem(not so big of an issue though), on the "S" of the slim boot bootanimation, i see some slight red and greenish color glowing around the "S". is that supposed to happen?
[Nexus S Android Development] linuxxp:
Hi! I thought the same as you. I installed 4.0.4 Slim Ben B4.2 and saw that it works faster than 4.3. But the pictures in my contacts are pixelated and this makes me nervous. Then I decided to see if colleagues are wrong and installed 4.3 stable B1, Grennify app, CrossBlader tweaks and minimal GAPS. Then in Rom Manager uninstall all unnecessary applications and services. Since then my phone is fast and smooth.

Good Luck!
[Nexus S Android Development] ppreuss:
Thank you for your answer!

How about RAM, this is my main problem, even if I have not many apps installed. When I look at the Ram bar usually only ~40-60MB free.

I keep killing apps, freeing RAM, helps nothing. Maybe there is a secret option? Or is the base system simply to heavy? Right after booting there is never more than 100MB free. So when I start using apps, ususally I am near 0MB, which means that Apps get killed in the background...
