Camera works fine at least for usual photos.

No special issue found in the current ROM so far although I didn't use many features to dig for bugs.

Performance? Maybe I have to use more. Not bad. It was quite buggy when first installed CM 10.2, but after several minutes, it went smooth.
[Nexus S General] mrdjibrilo:
Could someone try this? Use the camera app (not focal) and do the following: go to main camera, switch to front camera, then try to switch back to the main camera. I get the gallery has stopped working, anyone else?
[Nexus S General] lionman011:
Anyone know a kernel for 4.3 which will suite the CM 10.2 built ? Тhought to try the Devil kernel from Helly_Bean in the main Android development thread, but first i decided to ask. This stock CM kernel is pretty good, but after i wiped the battery stat when i installed the first built before several days, i still have a lot of battery drain. So i am looking for a proper kernel. Any suggestions (hopefully with links).

Thanks ;)

Yup, me as well.

Not that i use the front camera much so unless i had seen your post i wouldn't have struck that one.
[Nexus S General] mrdjibrilo:
Also another problem but it's been around since I've got the phone and been running stock android. I have earbuds with a mic on them and when I plug them in and play music the music player (both apollo and playerpro) go nuts and just start shuffling songs, I don't know if it's a problem with the microphone or the software. Anyone else have a similar problem?
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
Did you try the devil kernel? I asked in the helly bean thread if there was a way to just download the kernel. Personally I am waiting to see if the dev for Marmite comes up with anything.
[Nexus S General] lagloose:
Yap, change to 10 (a). Don't mess around with other 'turbo' scripts. Report back here if ROM feels smoother for you.

Sound problems

After upgrade, my sounds not playing.

Apollo shows "Unfortunately, Apollo has stopped" and ringtones not plays. :(

Is there anyone with this problem?

10.2 is very fast! I'm surprised! :good:

Nice work guys!
[Nexus S General] lionman011:
If you upgrade from the yesterday built, i think the problem will be with the dalvik cache or the normal cache (maybe not wiped) . If you upgrade from another ROM, please make sure to format/system.

Any luck? I am trying the marmite and deleting that file now, we will see what happens!
[Nexus S General] lionman011:
nah ... the marmite is doing great. I just have to fix my camera for now.
[Nexus S General] doma8108:
Which rom are u using? Maybe the 21/08 works better.. The 22/08 and 23/08 are the less "official" and maybe with more bugs..
[Nexus S General] lionman011:
I am using the today built. Flashed it on work and a whole day testing. I am working in a web developing and optimization (of sites) company. And i everyday test the sites on all the devices in the office ( including my Nexus S) :p The today built is pretty nice, it's pretty smooth and fast. Only have to reflash it + the marmite to get my camera back. That's all.
[Nexus S General] doma8108:
I thought that cause i flashed the 22/08 yesterday and in my opinion wasn't so smooth like the today's version.. So i thought maybe could be a rom problem.. Will u be next to develop roms? ;)
[Nexus S General] lionman011:
The good news is that i got my camera back online :p , the bad news is that i can't develop roms. I am a web designer and SEO optimizer, and i know a little bit of programming. I can test roms and make small changes and recommendations, but not developing :P :angel:

Sorry for bothering you again, but is anyone experiencing frequent launcher redraws?

Weird thing is other bigger, more memory hungry apps do not get killed so violently. For example I reopened facebook after around 6 hours and it opened exactly where I left off - its settings. But each time I leave the launcher it gets killed and redraws..
[Nexus S General] lionman011:
something interesting that i found on nova launcher. If you open the app drawer, go to the widgets tab and start scrolling fast, the nova launcher crashes and clears its defaults. maybe application bug ? I usually dont scroll so fast, but i wanted to test the smoothness and loading speed. Came out not really satisfaing.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem after I update (Using CM Updates in About) from 10.1-20130813 to 10.2 -20130821

First the camera (Gallery stopped working, Unable to connect to camera, etc),

then the Focal (Can't open camera, Unable to connect to camera, etc),

then my GooglePlay (No network connection even though I have WiFi On)

then my Dialer (App isn't installed)

then whenever I will connect my phone to computer and I turn on usb storage feauture, the shortcut of my apps installed in the SDCard wil be gone

then the WiFi icon will not get into blue like before even though I can use the internet.

Please help me... :(

I think only a full wipe can solve this. I did my clean wipe and only restored the apps with Titanium.

EDIT: can anyone please tell me where can I find the option to disable the safety sound feature? I may be too tired to find it and I really find it annoying.

wow this rom really brought life back into my nexus s - cm 10.1.2 was not usable. Now everything (except cam) is working like a charm and surprisingly smooth :)
[Nexus S General] Warren_Orange:
There is a separate thread in the dev section for the devil kernel. You will find the kernel there.

is that for the one from the helly bean 4.3 rom??

I really had problems with CM 10.1. - i really tried everything possible but my phone was nearly unusable. Som10.etimes the performance was so bad, that the phone was not able to display the name of the contact which was calling. Search something on the internet? Well, maybe get a cup of coffee first ^^ Since 10.2. it's not superfast, but besides from some lags, everything is pretty good usable. Are you using devils kernel with 10.2? Is there a increase in performance?

[Nexus S General] ktz985:
much faster

I had the same problems as you had with the older Roms cm10.1, SlimBean and even cm10.0 and Stock Android4.1.2. No contact name when ringing and to browse the web (no matter chrome browser, stock browser or dolphin browser) for example to visit this forum it took minutes to load a site and when the loading was finished and I started to read the browser crashed sometimes. But these performance problems already started since the official stock update to android 4.0.3.

Thanks a lot to the CM developers for cm10.2. It makes my phone useable again. Maybe the TRIM feature of Android4.3 repaired the memory of my over 2.5years old phone?

PS.: The camera is stable enogh for simple photos. Much more stable than before with any other ROM.
[Nexus S General] lionman011:
I totally agree with you mate. It's just like a new device. Truly fast, stable, nice battery life and performance. I have no problem except the Focal. Everything is perfect anyway. Those minor bugs ( like the camera switching) are not so serious and i am glad to say that these last builts are perfect for a daily driver for me.

Ah well this is really nice. I was aware of the new ribbon feature but thought the order and tiles were going to be the same as the Quick Settings ones. But it seems we will have the option to customize them independently. Nice :D
[Nexus S General] mrdjibrilo:
Could you care to explain? I see there are no buttons in my notification bar, I guess this was replaced with the ribbons?
[Nexus S General] andrei1015:
Yes, you have to activate it. Go to Settings > Interface > Notification Drawer. Can't say I like the new feature but I am certain I will get used to it..
[Nexus S General] mrdjibrilo:
Well isn't this ugly, but yeah, I guess I'll get used to it as well
[Nexus S General] andrei1015:
One thing they really should do is make X tiles fit perfectly. As they are now, 4 is too little and 5 is too much and the scrollbar appears. Well, there is no scrollbar per se, but they don't fit..
[Nexus S General] mrdjibrilo:
Yeah, I noticed it as well, I guess it will be sorted out over time, it is a new feature after all
[Nexus S General] nidhoeggr:
Yeah, it's exactly like it was on my phone - but i really began to notice it since 10.1. I also thought of the trim feature, but i'm not sure if it even supports trim. Anyways, it's a lot better now.

That is more a function of the Nexus S having too little RAM than it is a bug. It's a tradeoff between having it redraw often or running out of RAM.

Hi, i've flashed this new CM 10.2 nightly, everything seems to be fine, the only trouble i've found is that i'm not able to disable the BLN backlight notification. I've tried also with NSTools but it doesn't have anymore this option. How can i fix it?

[Nexus S General] lagloose:
add a line:

sys.mem.max_hidden_apps=12

to your system/build.prop at the end and reboot.

Depending on how much widgets/background apps you have installed, try to change this value between 8 and 16 to find out, which works best for you. Use a memory widget to control free RAM. It should only rarely drop below 80Mb. Most of the time there should be free RAM between 90 Mb and 120 Mb.

Is there a difference between doing it this way vs going into developer options and setting maximum background processes??

With the today nightly the backlight option has been added, but if i disable it, when i receive a notification the BLN turns on the same.

[Nexus S General] omartins:
Folks,

Is anyone able to use Focal? In my case, with today's nightly, app launches, sometimes stammering a bit, but after that everything seems OK. Real problems start when I want to really do something. Taking a picture is a matter of luck, sometimes I can, sometimes it gets stuck and force closes. Using panorama is weird because image is distorted and result isn't good. Finally, the worst part comes with picsphere, when it doesn't get stuck, after the second shot image starts to tilt alone and gets impossible to align with the referencial blue dots..

Today's nightly Focal app is behaving a bit better than yesterday's but still not usable.

I'm using standard CM kernel.

Is there any suggestions or is everyone experiencing almost the same and the solution is waiting for more stable versions of Focal, which seems to have great potential!?

RM
[Nexus S General] andrei1015:
I guess they'll completely exclude the stock camera when Focal is ready. Until then...
[Nexus S General] omartins:
Sure, I'm OK with that and makes all the sense. But are you experiencing a better performance from Focal than what I've described in my previous post, or, are you getting approximately the same? By you I mean you and you all :D

I solved the Google+ app problem by re-installing it. Uninstalled it with Titanium and then installed it again from Google Play. It's not inverted :rolleyes: but at least is working.

Yes. As far as I know, properties in /data/local.prop will overwrite the same-named properties in /system/build.prop if it exists, or will be created if the latter does not exist.

And /data/local.prop will be deleted only by data wipe (or factory reset) unless you remove it manually.

And as far as I am aware, the build.prop is initialized during boot, whereas the local.prop after boot. Any idea if this might influence the way the command works?

This service was causing me several battery drain on 29th and 30th nightlies, had to switch back to 28th in order to regain flat horizontal lines on power consumption history.

If you that message, sporadically, with today's nightlie, it might mean something is trying to put that service to sleep. On the other hand, it also means the problem is not solved yet...

RAM usage

Hello all,

I'm now using a rooted rom based on the stock 4.1.2, and was wondering how much RAM does this 4.3 uses on average.

I had previously tried CM 10.1 but found the phone struggled because it had constantly RAM full and switching apps was Slooooow.
