[MENTION=5165039]Setting.Out[/MENTION] - I just flashed your modded Omni 4.4.4 and there's no root in it?

EDIT: I ended up reverting back to Build 12 4.4.3 xD Is it safe to flash Guru Kernel on top of it?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
The Omni roms have problems with root, but this is a rom issue, not a mod issue.. Simply flashing su will solve it.. and any Guru should work..
[Nexus S General] teoserio:
I can confirm this. Every time i was updating omni i've got the need to flash again SU for regaining root.
[Nexus S General] khimois:
[MENTION=5165039]Setting.Out[/MENTION] - Ah, I thought it's included since it's already mod. :p Anyway thanks. :D

By the way, is there anybody having an issue sending message? 'cause I can't send any message but I can received. I can also receive and make calls.
[Nexus S General] varefaz:
What do you think to fix this rom?

C-ROM
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I have on a previous occasion attempted a few fixes for v7.1.. It will require more than I can offer to fix it right now, as I am not fully set up to do complete builds..
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I don't know if you're on the latest 4.4.4 build, if not I would suggest it, but I didn't have any messaging issues with either build.. ??

As far as included kernels go, 4.4.3 has been converted to AOSP in the modded version to take the Slim kernel, and 4.4.4 is still CM and has Guru v0.9.2 included..
[Nexus S General] Rangemster:
No problem here. ;)

Question

I'll just recommend you all to use latest JellyBam (Kitkat version) there is. It has all the best features and it's speed is very good considering all the options it gives...

Also if I can I'd like to promote my own game for the nexus S

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.osom.night

Feel free to remove this comment if it's against rules.
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
You are welcomed to promote your app, I would recomend its own thread in the android app section.. The rules only dictate about paid app promotion if there isn't a free version as well.. :)

I do remember using Bam rom, it stopped updating in March at v2.0 rc3, and all the links are broken currently..
[Nexus S General] g33k0 b3lk0w:
I think I might have a zip myself, I mostly recommend it cause it doesn't have that new theme engine but the old one that works faster and doesnt crash. It also has a pretty much any additional option you can imagine except for the newest ones like heads up. I could upload it if anyone is interested
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
New script *stable*

This is a branch off of what I was working on before, tested, retested and has proven to be stable.. I had to go back to basics and forget claims that certain scripts would increase performance ( when they didn't ) and test each one, one by one, and together to make sure it worked on our phone.. This is the result..

DOWNLOAD

I recommend flashing on a CLEAN installed rom.. ( must have been booted up once )

I recommend flashing using TWRP.. ( I haven't tried on CWM )

I don't recomment using ANY other mods/tweaks...

If using a modded rom (by me), don't worry, it will work...

ENJOY!!
[Nexus S General] g33k0 b3lk0w:
can you explain, for which rom is this script?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Mainly KitKat, but older roms should work..
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Script v1.1

When I was testing all this, I was manually adding the scripts and permissions.. Needless to say mistakes happen and I missed a couple things on the updater script and had a file in the wrong directory.. I have fixed these issues and added new scripts.. :)

Enjoy

v1.1 Download

See OP for further details..
[Nexus S General] smit.sanghavi:
You should remove links for v1.0 then. If someone doesn't read properly and flashes it then he can face issues. Also, whenever you get time, update the kernel info in Post #4.

I'm currently running SlimKat Build 5. I'll flash this script package this weekend. Good job! :good:
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I'll fix v1 and update the link.. ;)

I'll update the kernels as well..

Are you that eager to add those 1.5" to your screen? So at the end is always a matter of size [emoji23]
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
The war has taken me hostage, but I'll leave the thread open and check in.. ;)

Size is actually a drawback for me, I'm after POWER!!.. ;)
[Nexus S General] teoserio:
This is why i bought the xiaomi mi2s.. . Power whit 4" about screen.

[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I never had an issue with Omni's rotation??.. Cyanfox and Resurrection Remix had them...
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
FIXED!!!

Script stable v1 is fixed and the link updated..
[Nexus S General] smit.sanghavi:
Tried flashing v1.1 using Philz touch v6.19.3. Got (Status 7) error while fixing permissions command

Flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0 and everything went ahead smoothly. I'm hoping for an increase in performance. Will report back on this soon.
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I find it varies a bit from ROM to ROM.. But generally I was getting 500-1000 pts more in Antutu..
[Nexus S General] smit.sanghavi:
I won't be using any benchmarking software. I prefer real-world performance than benchmarks. ;)
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
It's hard to say what feels faster.. Lol, but when I restore my phone records and messaging it takes less than half the time, and apps open faster as well..
[Nexus S General] smit.sanghavi:
Got errors after executing the command 'build' in terminal

Check the attached log file (especially line 64 because there is an extra /).

EDIT: Installed BusyBox (Just like that), manually mounted /system as r/w and ran the script. No errors now.
[Nexus S General] khimois:
Aw! Thanks for all the help and congrats on your new phone!
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
If you run the 'build' script multiple times, even with errors, there is a chance it added more than one tweak..

What rom?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
CM m9
[Nexus S General] xexux:
Is there a kernel for KK which has Voodoo sound and color patch? and is also stable? Marmite 10.6 has these features but it has this annoying playstore crashes, so right now i am using Slim kernel along with AOSP KK, but its missing these voodoo patches.

I kinda miss CM 10.1 as it had color preset which had an option for natural colors, its not present in recent CM versions for Crespo. I want KK to have these features :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Have you tried Devil (its not kk but fully compatible, but breaks play store on the Aosp rom) on CM Roms it is great and has the features you want..
[Nexus S General] mathuaerknedam:
I found Marmite 10.3 to be more stable than 10.6, but the last week I've been on

Devil and it's even better.

Which kernel that supports swap? I want to use ROEHSOFT RAM Expander v3.19.

If its not a big problem, would you just post the links to the exact cm and scripts and kernel that you used that were fastest, ty in advance :D

[Nexus S General] Sixfall:
Devil kernel? Which version? Is it on the first page?
[Nexus S General] xexux:
I am on cm11 m10 (rom). marmite 10.6 works better for me than Devil Kernel.

I wanted to play a certain 720p video file which had higher bitrate and encode settings, in devil kernel, MXplayer simply refuses to play it with H/W decoder. while in Marmite it played fine but with slight flickering at the bottom.

The latest kernel in CM11 m10 outperformed it comparing to prev two and playback was butter smooth. The only problem with CM11 m10 kernel is that available ram is low compared to marmite and devil.

i want to get the best of both worlds i-e 400+ ram and butter smooth playback. any idea which kernel should i try?

On a slight different note, what settings are best for gamma and color calibration in Nexus S in cm11? I liked having presets (i-e Natural, warm, cool, etc) in CM 10.1 as it was easier to select the options rather than inputting values yourself.

Right now my gamma calibration is as follows:

Red: 43

Green: 45

Blue: 50

Any idea which setting should i use to get close to natural preset in cm 10.1?
[Nexus S General] g33k0 b3lk0w:
Setting.Out if you could just put links to everything in your fastest combination of cm, kernel and mods. Thanks in advance :D
[Nexus S General] hendraone007:

Does the NS really hit over 9000 on Antutu v5.1.. ?

Does anyone have problem with MTP? I cant select it from settings>storage>usb connection, it is there but when i have my nexus s connected with PC, the setting doesnt stick. and strange thing is, MTP is working fine in latest TWRP. any ideas what might have been the issue? I have tried all the combinations with USB debugging enabled, powering on, off, reinstalled all drivers according to WUG's guide, but this thing has become really annoying for me.
[Nexus S General] smit.sanghavi:
Have you enabled fast charge? MTP doesn't work with that enabled...

I know how to debloat it myself but don't know how to package it afterwards xD
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:

[Nexus S General] xexux:
CM kernel didnt support MTP, may be thats why i was having problem. switched to marmite 10.6 and it was working without a hassle.

How did the first N5X rom work for you?.. Did you see the CrDroid?
[Nexus S General] g33k0 b3lk0w:
I tried last itteration of N5X rom and it's great, just not as great as your version of omni rom xD I'll try this one too, never heard of CrDroid, is it another rom?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
CrDroid is another highly customizable rom... There was a version once that was briefly supported on the device, but I think that was 4.2 or 4.3.. This one is a 4.4.4 version.. I'll debloat it just so you have another rom to try out.. :)

BTW, that N5X rom was so slow to download.. :) I will have it uploaded tomorrow morning for you.. It is nearly midnight here and I am off to bed.. :)

To debloat:

Unzip the rom

delete the data folder (use this folder first if you need to check which apps to delete in the updater script)

open the updater script and edit out the extra app permissions

delete the chinese keyboard and it's latinime lib file

replace the keyboard with a normal AOSP or Google and it's corresponding latinime lib file

Rezip the rom

[Nexus S General] g33k0 b3lk0w:
Thanks I tried both roms for a day of usage, must say that the crdroid is much faster with less bugs, NX5 was better in last version. I tried both of them with stock kernels and they're almost unusable like that. Then I flashed Marmite 10.6 and damn it really gets them going. Still NX5 had some bugs after flasihng marmite kernel and crdroid was flawless. Will test them both bit more and put a review after. Thanks for your help :D

I flashed ThinkingBridge (SB4), Devil Kernel (3.0.71) and script posted by Setting.out (version 3.2) and i cant see my usb storage on my nexus s. When i turn USB "ON" nothing happens. Anyone who can help? Thanks. :)

I can still access my phone via recovery. Other ROMs generally works. I suspect that issue is somewhere in software itself. Nor cable, nor windows.

Resolved: USB debugging was not enabled by default by ROM. My bad. :)

I found Devil Kernel 3.0.100. Im still not sure which script to use though. 3.0 is for KK, 3.1 and 3.2 are for JB 4.1 and up. Then there are stable 1.0 (unstested on JB) and stable 1.1...

SlimKat 9.0 (4.4.4) with Devil 3.0.100 and Stable script 1.1 is quite good, but i miss customization and "awesome feeling" of TB. :)

CM11 saves the day

After being fed up with the abandonment by the custom ROM community of Nexus S 4G (crespo4g) for so long, I flashed mine with CM11 NIGHTLY for Nexus S (crespo) by editing the build update script. Now it's smoother and faster than any of the ROMs I've flashed before. I just use it as an internet device with Google Hangouts.
