[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
I don't know if I'd count on 4.4 being a lifeline to speed. 4.2 runs significantly better than 4.4 on my Nexus One.

That said, I'd limit concurrent processes in your developer settings menu regardless.

I think there's problems with yesterdays CM tree, the ROM I built had so many FCs it was unusable on the crespo4g, so I built for the mako (Nexus 4) from the exact same sources and had the same issues (which I've never had before building CM for the mako).

Trying a build from pure AOSP right now. Will keep you guys posted. PM me if you want the buggy ROM, otherwise I'll toss it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Kdragon75:
I just want to thank you for your effort regardless of how far you get! I was begining to think the cerspo4g development was dead!

I was thinking about trying to get the crespo CM11 to boot on our devices but I know NOTHING about cooking roms. I just couldn't find the time (too many other projects renovating a FG camper, minecraft server, fixing the car, work, family etc..)

Sooo... THANK YOU! :good:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
i'm in to test any build for crespo4g... i won't be able to test data/cell b/c i use this device for listening to music only... would be great to have this on my NS4G though... was looking into making it myself but idk how to do it either lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dwielunski:
Thanks for working on this. I am only using the NS4G as a WiFi device for now, but would love to play around with anything 4.4
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
I'll post it here when I get a working build, right now I'm trying to merge some of cn.fyodor's optimizations from the original Nexus S build. It might end up being pure AOSP as opposed to CM, depends on what I can get to build without errors or other post-build problems. I don't have a ton of time to work on it over the next couple days, but I'll try to do what I can.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
Thanks... Enjoy some turkey today if that's your thing... Personally, I've been using stock for a few months on my N4 and now on my N5 I only rooted to remove some apps and install a custom kernel... I prefer stock to mods now... Mainly because I don't have time to keep up with updating so often... So a stock 4.4 ROM on my NS4G will work for me... I already have the GEL and that runs great for me but I'm still missing the complete 4.4 on it that's why I wanted to flash it lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mrsato:
+1 for full stock

I prefer full stock myself. Google's been giving such sweet goodness lately, it's really the best way to go. Plus if anyone wants to they can customize to their heart's content. I'm very hopefull you'll get this working fully - as stock.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
There's really no such thing as stock when it comes to devices outside of Google's support line. Technically if you want stock its a 4.1.1 factory image from Google. AOSP is close to stock but doesn't include any proprietary Google apps by default. You can remove/add any packages you want via adb and create a "stock" ROM, but you can do that coming from any base be it AOSP, CM, or whatever. Personally, I prefer CyanogenMod. That's why I'm working on getting this build working.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
by "stock" i mean no extra features added...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mrsato:
Right, same here... just not having custom anything - adding gapps is fine, but not custom kernels, themes, etc.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
First build up. It's very broken. beware.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iesous-kurios:
I'm just glad you're still working on it, I thought you had given up on 4.4 for the nexus s 4g :)

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Should we flash any of the stuff from your other 4.4 thread? CMDA fix, or Superuser?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
Nothing except gapps. I'd be impressed if you could get very far with this build though. I made some changes to my source tree, I'll get a new build up tomorrow morning.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iesous-kurios:
I'll give it a go and see what happens on mine. Just got this nexus s 4g from my sister, she had it on Sprint, while visiting her I asked if she had any old Sprint phones she's not using so I can try it out on Ting.

Got two of them now, one for me and one for wife. I have my wife on a stable 4.3 HellyRom, I don't have any problem trying out beta (alpha?) roms on mine though.

I'm going to try it with those two 4.4 tweaks (bionic and dalvik), plus I have a few radios downloaded I can try with it.

I'll let you know how it goes :)

Edit: So far, it's 'booting', but only to the first set up page asking me to set up a cyanogen account, where I'm constantly bombarded with FC's stating the dialer and systemui have crashed, those happen consistently for a minute or so until the phone reboots and starts the process over again.

I'm going to try flashing a version of Googlephone I saw on another thread after flashing ROM/Gapps, see if that does anything.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iesous-kurios:
I've decided I like this phone enough to start trying some dev work on it. Might take me a while to get back in the loop (last thing I did dev work on was my first android phone, the HTC Hero on Sprint... Looooonngg time ago)

Gonna finish setting up a VM with Ubuntu on it tonight and toy around with some building working with what we've got so far to hep get 4.4 running on the Nexus S 4g
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
You have my Github repo? I've merged all the necessary changes for the crespo4g in my device tree here:

https://github.com/jc4gavejc/android_device_samsung_crespo4g/tree/cm-11.0

I'm almost done with another build, I actually had openjdk7 installed before, so switched to oraclejdk6 (the one I should have been using).

That might just make the difference in the fcs. There's no other reason why my build shouldn't be working as perfectly as the ones they have for the crespo. Seriously, they're the same device minus the radios.

Hope stuff goes well for you, it'd be fantastic to have another dev working on this.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
Just built with Oracle's JDK6. Same issues. Gonna try to build for mako and see if its a problem with my source tree.

I wish I wasn't the only person working on this...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] iesous-kurios:
Downloaded now, thanks.

I'm excited to get back too, things will be much easier when I finally get internet installed in our new place, just moved a couple of weeks ago and have been having trouble finding a company with decent speed that serves my area and doesn't charge too much or want a super long contract.

For now I do my research into what I need and download (hopefully) all the necessary files while at school/work, transfer it to my crespo4g via usb cable, then I hang out with wife and Son until it's both of their bedtimes... and then... Dad has time to dork around on the computer for a bit :)

I see what you mean with the devices, it's been pretty frustrating seeing 4.4 roms for the crespo and not having it for the crespo4g

Hopefully more people hear about Ting and start snatching up these old sprint phones, causing more buzz and then hopefully more dev interest in the project.

Are you on 64 or 32 bit? There was a little warning message on the CyanogenMod wiki page:

"Note:

You want to use a 64-bit version of Linux. According to Google, 32-bit Linux environment will only work if you are building older versions prior to Gingerbread (2.3.x)/CyanogenMod 7. However, as of 10.1 CyanogenMod does not build with 64bit host binaries on some systems. You will have to set something like BUILD_HOST_32bit=1 in your environment when building on such 64bit system."

Since it says "as of 10.1", and we are trying essentially 11, perhaps we should try the "BUILD_HOST_32bit=1" ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
I'm on 64 bit. Only way to go really, these days. If you need any help building I'm here! I can't really use my computer when I'm compiling, and I need it for work, so I'm building nightlies, which means I can't really get to issues very quickly. And since I can't even logcat with these builds, its hard to address any issues at all.

Remember to set up the crespo repo in the same directory as the crespo4g, with both the kernel and the devices sources. Otherwise it won't build.

And make sure you're adding the crespo4g to the lunch menu correctly.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
btw, i flashed the build in the OP and it doesn't get beyond the boot animation... phone FC's, then a bunch of other apps right after... i know this was already said... just thought i'd confirm for the newbs :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
I know... I really only put it up in case someone could find a way to logcat, seeing as I can't really debug something with no build errors.

Official nightlies are out for crespo, so I might actually try to do a port of that to crespo4g using my broken ROM as a base. I'm not home at the moment so it'll have to wait until tomorrow.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Setting.Out:
I know you already know this thread -HERE- but can't you use this to see what is different in the two builds? or use it as a port base?..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jc4gavejc:
I tried the working CM11 build, but for me it seemed really really slow. They've done a bunch of kernel and OS optimizations on the Nexus S forum, so I might try using a file diff tool to compare builds and port a more optimized rom. I simply haven't been at my desktop enough in the past few days to work on much of anything. I apologize for that. I haven't given up on NS4G, though I don't know how much my limited expertise will allow me to accomplish.

I just checked and the OTA from Telcel is finally available, has someone installed it yet?

I would like to know if they didn't ruin the phone with bloatware or maybe add their fugly startup logo? The current 4.2 version is totally bloat free and I would prefer to remain that way... Anything else to consider before accepting the update?
[Moto X Q&A] jjuanchow:
I just installed 4.4.2 from Telcel and it remains just as clean as 4.2. :) No problems, so far!

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Dt2462:
re-download the 4.3 rom and plug your phone and use adb through recovery to push the file to your phone
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] blackangst:
4.4 OTA? Not from tmobile.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] toshibasony:
This happened to me too. I put the phone back into bootloader with the power+volume down. I had to run the GoogleEditionRUU. I take it your converted yours into a Google Edition? If you want to run the 4.4 OTA you have to be completely stock GE. You have to have the stock recovery and have your bootloader locked. I am S-Off however and I don't know what your phone conditions are. Anyways, get into bootloader then your computer should recognize it. Then you can run "fastboot oem rebootRUU" to install the RUU.

[General Questions and Answers] C-4Nati:
No matter what kind of phonele I've had, even with different routers at different places, I've never been able to send or receive MMS on WiFi. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Selenia:
Do you use JuiceDefender or similar idiotic programs? Many of them take the unnecessary step of disabling mobile data when on wifi. Guess what Einsteins who developed these programs? MMS uses the mobile data connection and an idle data connection uses no battery at all. Having it on doesn't waste battery, background apps using it does. They take the Dr. Hack'emoff approach of hacking off your mobile data to silence such apps, when there are much more efficient ways of doing this. And guess what I have proven time and time again? Turning it on again and again and again wastes battery. I'll get off my soapbox now, but try disabling any such apps.

Says 13.3.0.2_user_302075320. Installed on Monday Jul, 29th, 2013 5:01 PM

Just got the tablet today and have not updated anything at all. My tablet cant check for updates since before I turned it on I blacklisted the IP addresses from my router that Amazon uses to push updates to Kindles
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
Hurry, update to 13.3.1.0 before a newer update comes (or download the update here and for directions to manually install the update). Don't blacklist those IP's until you root it. Update first.

Once you get root you can configure iptables on the tablet to blacklist it but im testing this. I got root 2 hours ago. Once I get it working I'll post a tut.

But you need to be on version 13.3.1.0
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] EniGmA1987:

If you don't install a superuser app, root will still work, but any app that requests it, gets it, and no notification.

Supersu works with that binary, but you can install superuser and let it update the su binary and it will work as well.

I first did the IP block which was time consuming and left me wondering if I had input everything correctly when I ran across the thread to change the file name. So, I deleted all the code and just changed the file name. That method worked with the HD if I recall correctly.

The only issue I"m having is after setting the /system folder to RW it will change back to RO I guess after I restart it. Not sure, but just checked this morning and it has changed back to RO. Is that the norm?

I can't confirm if changing the filename blocks anything. When using android firewall, allow any application with the custom script until someone can confirm your way. The Android Firewall app isn't an running application, it is a configurer. It configures iptables in the device to block ip's. And yes, I confirmed iptables is working fine. I also did change the file name of otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in etc/security BUT can't confirm this alone does the trick.

And I also added the ip's to etc/hosts file. Someone said that works too but i can't confirm this. Either way I'm sure iptables is working 100%
