Great ROM for our good old Nexus.

I've detected only 2 problems:

-Quick reply SMS window with defect format,

-Profile settings doesn't work, BLN and vibration config.

I'm on yesterdays nightly, does anyone have the same problems?

Thks
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
can't say sms quick reply, on profile settings everything works except unsecure lockscreen ....i'm on 10 12
[Nexus S Android Development] bishteca:
I did flash the official CM11 just before kitkang. I didn't really have the chance to test a lot, but it started out very very slow and after 20 min or so it appeared to settle and became more responsive. But less responsive than Kitkang overall.

Maybe flashing Devil and stuff, who knows?

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Thanks for the tip! It was getting hot for no reason, that's why... :good:

Eventually, it rebooted by itself and I went testing other settings, now I'm kinda settled with lulzactive + cfq, any restrictions to that?

What's you combination, if you don't mind my asking?

Losing battery quite fast, but I prefer smoothness.

cheers!

Can we do dirty flashing here for the succeeding versions? I mean just doing Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvik + Flash ROM will make up for updates?
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
SmartassV2/row 100/1000

I would recommend formatting system as well, though this requires gapps to be flashed as well...
[Nexus S Android Development] khimois:
Every time there's an update? I mean after I've clean install this then the next update should also be format system?
[Nexus S Android Development] k-kuchen:
Finally flashed it and I'm not disappointed at all. The smoothest the phone has ever been :D

The only downside is.. settings in DevilTools and Performance won't stick after a reboot. The latest DevilTools FC. Any idea?
[Nexus S Android Development] khimois:
What do you mean by that? How do we enable that?
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
It only takes a couple more seconds and is a "cleaner" dirty flash and should have less problems..
[Nexus S Android Development] khimois:
But does format /system remove all my installed apps? So I have to restore them for every update?
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
No.. Wiping data does that..
[Nexus S Android Development] khimois:
Oh, is that so? Thanks then!!!

BTW, if I'm on latest CM 11 Nightly, can I just dirty flash to KitKang?
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Make a back up first.. Might work okay since they are both CM and nearly the same, but you may bootloop or have FC's??
[Nexus S Android Development] khimois:
Okay.. Thank you!!! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Warren_Orange:
Not sure if I'm into Devil with this ROM. Didn't seem as smooth like stock kernel. Widgets seem to take ages to load with devil after a reboot.

I think I will reflash kitkang and leave stock kernel in place.
[Nexus S Android Development] zealouszee:
Hello,

I just flashed the latest build and absolutely loved it..but im facing a strange problem..everytime i open Messaging...the messaging apps opens up and quickly closes with an error "Unfortunately, Messaging has stoped" Anyone else having similiar issue? or any fix?

I have done a cleaned install twice..
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
About to flash the 1212 build. Noticed the 3-4 number contact messaging bug has been fixed in 1211. However, I saw this in the Changelog

does that mean you're removing the preference for forcing overflow buttons? D:
[Nexus S Android Development] killswitch70:
Happened to me too. I wiped data/factory reset, wiped Cache. Formatted System, Data, Cache, Boot in that order. Flashed the latest build, PA Gapps and Devil kernel. Did I missed something?
[Nexus S Android Development] tibs87:
Hey guys

is anyone experiencing MAD battery issues?

i charge it to 100%, boot up, don't do anything or run any apps, two hours laters it's at 70% !!

scheduler : noop

governor: ondemand

tried ART & dalvik for a day each, same battery issues

no oc or anything, no tweaks, just pure kitkang 08th of december version
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
12/12??

I'm on 12/12 CM11 and all works..

I am was trying 10/12 (euroskank) build with another kernel, but I too had terrible battery life, mainly due to google services eating it to death.. Google now never let my phone sleep last night and I had a 40% drop in battery.. f*ing google.. Who really wants a phone that listens at all times to everything you say just incase the word "google" is said..?? is it really that hard to press a button? are we that lazy?.. I know our device set to low ram has this "disabled" but google search still thinks it needs to run ALL the time.. and the rest of the google services are a constant drain too.. add that to Facebook's onslaught of wakelocks and I'm surprised my phone can be unplugged..
[Nexus S Android Development] k-kuchen:
Nope, still at 76% after 12 hours with Devil Kernel

That happened to me, too, when I did a clean install of 12/12. But coming from 12/11 it is fine
[Nexus S Android Development] zealouszee:
Yes I flashed 12/12

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

I didn't get you..are you suggesting I should try installing 12/11 first..and then update to 12/12 without wiping anything right? please correct me if wrong..i really wanna have this rom..

p.s: any issue you faced so far? hows the battery?
[Nexus S Android Development] k-kuchen:
Yes, I was trying out some things and noticed the bug was gone when I did a "dirty flash" coming from the previous nightly.

- flash nightly 12/11, as you normally would

- wipe cache, dalvik cache and /system

- flash nightly 12/12 + GApps and so on

That's how I did it, if I remember correctly.

I don't have any issues so far. The only thing is Devil settings aren't restored after a reboot. I'm trying to figure this one out
[Nexus S Android Development] zealouszee:
thank you so much. I don't much use devils tools so i think i will be fine with it.

thanks again man. i will try it and then respond back soon
[Nexus S Android Development] zealouszee:
I did the way you told and its working fine for me now...great help..thanks mate ..amazing rom
[Nexus S Android Development] bishteca:
As great as this rom is, I decided to go back to Gingerbread 2.3.7. Oxygen is the best rom.

I think the device is too old and can't take the heat as smooth as older os versions.

Maybe kit kat is not polished enough for nexus s.

cheers to everyone that helped me!
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
At least get Jelly Bean or ICS. :) You'll be missing out.

anyway, here's to the next build :)
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
how many onscreen hour can you get with oxygen ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
Hi [MENTION=2581599]FuZZ__[/MENTION]

I cannot send & receive sms,

I've tried with messaging & hangouts.

I'm on KitKang 20131214.
[Nexus S Android Development] Flukzr:
It seems it's a persistent issue since 1212. To fix either flash a previous working version or try to do what [MENTION=5491423]k-kuchen[/MENTION] said a couple of posts above.
[Nexus S Android Development] FuZZ__:
I think that issue had introduced on http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55565/

but already has been addressed http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55789/

So it supposed to be fixed on next build (hopefully)
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
I did dirty flash (wipe cache & dalvik), format system then flash the latest KitKang - 20131215.

And the sms issue was fixed.

I can send & receive sms now
[Nexus S Android Development] FuZZ__:
Thanks for your confirmation :)

It seemed 1215.1510 build didn't fix that to me, I had to drop some cherry picks.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
It's weird,

I'm sure, now I can send & receive sms with both apps: messaging & hangouts with just dirty flash + format system.

Not try yet with clean flash.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
SMS is working fine for me after a dirty flash coming from the 1210 build.
[Nexus S Android Development] kriout:
on 12.14 dirty flashed i'm not able to set build.prop on false for low memory device, i change it but on reboot nothing changed and the file remain edited, i also edited default.prop and every time i reboot it get back to TRUE ...... and it doesn't work on performance menu too ... anyone else ???

i also have some anomal partial wakelock of RILJ ... and cpu works a loooot

everything else works and rom is very smooth with stock kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] Flukzr:
I've really been digging this rom. It's fast and doesn't suffer from severe slowdowns and lag like JB had, after a while.

What I would like to know is why has the option to disable the onscreen menu button disappeared in the latest build ("Always report physical menu key is not present")?

I mean since the NS has hardware buttons including menu, having 2 buttons doing the same thing is kind of superfluous.
[Nexus S Android Development] paydy12:
A clean flash of the last 2 builds did not work.. I had to restore the previous one and then dirty flashed the 14th dated build and it worked for the sms. But now am facing a new problem with my play store. Its not connecting to the internet (3G or Wifi) Rest all the other apps are able to access the internet. I also tried disabling the play store and services and restarting them. Did not work.. Tried flashing the Google Play Store APK alone . This too did not work. Please help.

I finally flashed the gapps once again and it started working..Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
I just clean wipe 20131215 last night, and sms works fine, for both messaging & hangouts.

Here are what I did in CWM v6.0.4.3 :

1. Clean wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & wipe dalvik.

2. Format in Mount and storage :

format /cache

format /boot

format /system

format /data

3. Flash Kitkang 20131215

4. Flash BaNkS Gapps : 12-6 version

5. reboot
[Nexus S Android Development] paydy12:
Battery is pathetic

After so many updates ...My battery is draining really fast...I mean i left it at 75 % charge last night and morning i notice its dead....no usage no calls no alarm..only wifi on but no activity with that...It just drained too fast....Can someone suggest me some remedy for this..(No apps listed in google play have really helped..they just claim, but they actually slow down the phone itself).
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
If you want, you can try looking at the wakelocks using Wakelock Detector so at least you know what's draining the battery. That, or try to use Greenify. Mine's at 79% after 9 hours. I'll see again if I can gauge it.
[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidWolf59:
I'm using Disable Service (you can find it in Google Play). I disabled many location services in "Google Play services", it seems that they are at least one of the reason of battery drain also when Nexus is ... "sleeping".

p.s. I used it in MDO (4.1.2), kitkang and now on CM 11 nightly
[Nexus S Android Development] paydy12:
Thanks, I'll try that tonight and see..(Strange! but there are options in that (Location Services) which mention "low battery usage".)
[Nexus S Android Development] msokey:
hello, did you ever manage to get rid of the status 7 error?

I used to have cm10.2 running fine and have been trying to flash cm11 skanky for crespo

i've tried updating cwm, tried updating twrp, even tried removing <<assert-----semicolon>> code line from the updater script (which resulted in a status 6 error)

someone please tell me what the next logical step is

cheers
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
You're not updating to the latest CWM recovery if you're getting status 7 error. Try the latest Philz recovery and see how that works. It is based on the most up to date CWM.

Current TWRP will not work with KitKat.
[Nexus S Android Development] msokey:
philz_touch_6.01.0-crespo.zip<<<<<<<<<< this is what i used, same problem.... any other ideas?

appreciate the help

hold up hold up hold up

it's working!!!!

i'll investigate a bit more, and i'll pick this back up if there's more problems

thanks a lot

Hi [MENTION=2581599]FuZZ__[/MENTION]

I found bugs in 20131217.0306:

1. I got FC In Setting ⇨ Interface ⇨ Status Bar ⇨ Signal Status Style.

2. There is no clock in status bar, even I have enabled it in Setting ⇨ Interface ⇨ Status Bar ⇨ Show Clock.
[Nexus S Android Development] cahir_cz:
Flashing the latest CWM recovery did the trick for me
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Did a dirty flash of the latest nightly and it strangely deleted a couple of my homescreens. No big deal to add them back, though, and everything else is still running smoothly.

Another thanks to Mr. Fuzz. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
Noticed that this has a build of Calendar which does not seem to connect to the Google account as per the Settings > Accounts. Is it just me?
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Google calendar is syncing and working fine out of the box for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] raiderep:
Same here, it kept failing on me when I tried to sync it up through the app itself.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Did you do a clean install or dirty flash? Also, which GAPPS are you using?
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
Must've been a dirty flash. Used 1119 gapps. Anyway, I clean installed to the latest build, and all is dandy and fine :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Miguun:
Hi FuZZ__, do you know why the Network mode tile does not work, when it works in CM11 (also, why does it have an 4g option?) ?

Thank you :) !
[Nexus S Android Development] gunner49:
Can anyone get Hangouts to make a video call? I get "unfortunately hangouts has stopped". Text works fine though.
[Nexus S Android Development] FuZZ__:
switching mode takes longer but seems to be working as intended.

Hmm, I think you can't have 4G mode on crespo...
[Nexus S Android Development] Miguun:
For me it didn't, I waited some minutes, and it did not switch (on CM11 was instant).

Yes, I know that it does not have 4G, but it has the option to use 4G ( and it should not have).

Thanks again ;) !

[MENTION=1982549]Fuzz_[/MENTION]

Dirty flash always seems to break Calendar support. At least for me, here. :[ I don't know why.

Just flashed 1222 build, and it happened again.

Camera seems to be broken as well on 1222. I wonder if it has been fixed in 1223 build.

EDIT: Videocamera is broken in 1223 build.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
I'm not sure if this is a ROM specific question or not. When I look at Better Battery Stats I see that there are two entries for wifi. "Wifi on" reflects accurately the time that I have turned the wifi on. But "wifi running" is active the entire time the phone is on, even when wifi is turned off. Is this normal?
[Nexus S Android Development] nanny07:
PSA: tap to focus is still broken in the 26/12 build!
[Nexus S Android Development] tibs87:
hey juzz since last update the time in the status bar doesn't show up anymore even though it's checked in the settings..

thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Same here. Panorama preview is fixed now, though.
[Nexus S Android Development] k-kuchen:
Lock your phone and then unlock it. Now it should be there
[Nexus S Android Development] array81:
This ROM is perfect. I have problem only with Clock app. When I start my device I get an message error (clock is close), when I try to start it get the same error.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Clear data for the clock app. That fixed it for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] array81:
Thanks. It works.
[Nexus S Android Development] nanny07:
Btw the ROM is pretty stable, but what I missing more is the brightness slider over the statusbar.

Can I use xposed framework + gravity box with this ROM? I don't think so :\
[Nexus S Android Development] gaojun1208:
thanks for the great work!

one question (20131227 build): the backlight of 4 buttons is always on when there's notification. seems the settings/buttons/backlight doesn't really work.

any suggestion?
[Nexus S Android Development] bishteca:
I can`t really say exactly, but something like at least 22 hours depending on usage.

But hey, guess what? Oxygen was dying on me. Crazy lag issues.

Decided to head back to Kitkang because it IS a great rom, but the battery was really an issue. I didn't install any custom kernel and other blows and whistles, I wanna see how it behaves right out of the factory. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Tap to focus is fixed in the 1229 build.

By the way, this ROM keeps getting subtly smoother and nicer with each build. Many thanks [MENTION=1982549]Fuzz_[/MENTION] !
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
can you check if videocamera is still broken? It was broken since 1223, and I haven't flashed a new build since 1221, to retain it.

EDIT: Videocamera is working, but changing modes seems to FC. restoring back to 1221 in the meantime.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Video camera is working.
[Nexus S Android Development] FuZZ__:
Thanks for your confirmation :)

[Nexus S Android Development] Sky-Net:
Hi

Clean flashed latest (29/12) build and i've found two issues:

- panorama preview. It shows a black screen while recording

- hangouts. Doing a videocall using front camera shows your image rotated 180º

Could anyone confirm this please?

Huge thanks for providing us this excellent rom!

[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Panorama preview is working fine for me. Haven't tried a Hangouts call yet. I've done multiple dirty flashes to get to the current build, though, so that may be different from your clean install.
[Nexus S Android Development] Sky-Net:
Thanks for your input. I'll be doing clean installs of the next releases to see what happens.

Hi everybody. I flashed this rom several times with PA gapps (pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip) but when I boot it up, theres only cyanogenmod setup, no google/gmail setup. All the apps are in the drawer except google search and play store, every other app related to the google account, just closes on launch. Any ideas?

Edit: When trying to open an app (ex: Google+) it opens, closes and this pops up: "Google Play services. Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your de device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."

I am using the pagapps mini modular and having no issues at all... did you do a clean install and which version are you using
[Nexus S Android Development] sinax09:
yes, clean install every time, clear data, clear cache, dalvik, format sys. I just installed titanium backup and regarding memory it says that i have 14.2 GB (2.10 GB free) on media, 1.05 (832 MB free) on Internal, 528 MB (8.19 kB free) on System ROM. Could that be the problem? How do I fix that?

System seems extremely low mine shows 27.3 meg free

Try loading the pagapps mini modular or moving some apps of yours to sdcard

[Nexus S Android Development] provolinoo:
noob question

since cm11 switched to 4.4.2 i'm not able to install it on nexus s (I tested two nexus s i9020 and i9023)

flashing goes fine (cm11 + pa gapps) with no errors (using cwm, full wipe of system, data, cache, dalvik) but on the first boot after the wizard I get black screen

system works, for example I can pull down status bar and go into toggles or system settings but it seems it doesn't load the launcher

the problem persists flashing cm11 only without gapps

the problem is not present with cm11 20131211 and previous builds but starts from 20131212 and following (just tested 20131230, same issue)

any help? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
PA gapps has a launcher built in that can cause an issue.. Sometimes a simple reboot will fix it, if not try installing another launcher or removing the launcher from the gapps package..
[Nexus S Android Development] provolinoo:
sadly the problem persists with rom installation only without gapps package
[Nexus S Android Development] paydy12:
The Best thing is to Install a Launcher like nova and then switch to the stock launcher. Somehow I guess the launcher does not activate/launch on its own. I had this similar problem and then I tried this method.
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
Small bug: SystemUI FCs while switching themes. Theme is applied, but it just FCs for a bit, then gone. Running 20140101 build with stock kernel.
[Nexus S Android Development] kk415kk:
I'm currently still using a late November version of this ROM with very few to no issues but am considering updating to the latest build.

Can someone shine a light on how the battery life is currently with the latest build and any possible bugs? I'm probably just flashing the latest build + PA gapps + Dalvik/Bionic optimizations.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
You don't need the optimizations on the latest build, they are now included.
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Bionic/dalvik is no longer necessary...

Anyone have problems downloading the zips from mobile devices?
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
No problem here.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Downloading the latest build right now. I notice this in the changelog:

[Device]

* S5PC11X: JPEG: add ioctl to export memory configuration

* crespo: optimize JPEG memory configuration

[Hardware]

* samsung: exynos3: libs3cjpeg: read memory configuration from kernel

If I flash a different kernel (Devil) will these changes still work?
[Nexus S Android Development] FuZZ__:
That libs3cjpeg commit already merged http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/56795/

As you see in the commit message, 3rd party kernel still works but I think they also will patching sooner or later.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
So that just steals unused memory from the jpg encoder and makes it available as RAM? Nice!

Something else that popped up in that last couple builds that is a bit annoying: whenever I tap on the upper right hand corner of any of my homescreens (using Trebuchet) it activates voice search. This means that I can't use any widget in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I've searched for a setting to disable this but haven't found it. Any way to disable?
[Nexus S Android Development] FuZZ__:
That's one of a Trebuchet bug I've recognized.

You shouldn't hide search bar via setting for now.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
Thanks. Good to know it wasn't just my phone going crazy!
[Nexus S Android Development] k-kuchen:
Any idea how to hide the privacy protection notification icon? The option to disable it is gone in the latest nightlies.

Google apps not working

Hi...After installing the 20140102 build i am facing a problem with most of the Gapps. The Hangouts is not working, the Play Store is not connecting, the Google Keyboard FCs, the Google Plus doesn't work, and am not able to update the apps....I am using PA GAPPs for 4.4.2. Also the back button is not working.

Please help...am I doing something wrong..I tried clean install and also dirty flashed over a previous version the 20131218 version. From this(1218) version, i am facing these problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
I'm not sure about this, but it might be a memory issue. The PA GAPPS package is really big and pretty much maxes out the internal memory on this phone. My suggestion would be to try the PA mini modular GAPPS. That's what I've been using with no problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] paydy12:
Thanks, I'll try that...Any suggestions on why my Back button is not functioning? Also i Checked on the Latest build there is "FN" buttons settings and it too doesn't mention the back/return button.
