Feedback

So, I have been using this build for a few weeks now and have some feedback comments if there is anyone out there that still cares. For the most part I am enjoying this build but I do encounter some bugs from time to time. I don't know if it is a RAM management problem or what.

I know that if I do not kill my Facebook app and its messenger app before I try and open up Candy Crush there will be problems. It will eventually just freeze and push me back to the lock screen.

The other big bug I noticed deals with the notification bar. If I want to pull the bar down to check my notifications and it has been a while since I last pulled it down, my phone will first freeze, then push me to the lock screen. After I unlock it, the notifications bar can be pulled down but will eventually repeat this cycle again. Also note, I am not forcing advanced graphics when it does this.

There have also been 2 occasions where I had to restart my phone because it crashed. Upon restarting it had changed my wallpaper back to the default. I did not see any other changes though. These two occasions occurred after somewhat moderate use when switching between programs, or when trying to go out and then back in to Text Free all the while trying to rotate my phone horizontal.

Batter life at first was horrible, but there were some things running such as location settings that I initially did not realize. Once I turned those off, my batter life, by all appearances, is better than it was when I was running 4.3.1.
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Those are CM bugs that are getting worked on minus the battery life.. But thanks for the feedback, a new version will be coming soon, when the CM bugs are resolved.. ;)
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Coming Soon

Final version is coming...

-4.4.4

-Android L features

-Guru kernel

-Original and modded versions
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Sorry for the delay, I know that it was released a few days ago for the I9000, but I had to have some family time and to test it.. :) This, in my opinion, is the best release of this rom. I haven't had any issues, the battery life is respectable and it is faster / smoother than before.. :)

Here is a taste of its performance..

Check the OP for more details.. :)

Enjoy!!

I don't know if i'm allowed to do this kind of post, in case i'll delete it, but in another thread you stated that your higher antutu score was with C-ROm and Devil kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53599331&postcount=93).

I know that, in real life, antutu score doesn't mean anything, but i was wondering if you still suggest C-Rom or this one.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I'm good with this question, as I always ask myself very similar questions.. C-rom did test better, but wasn't as smooth with apps like Facebook, and had a couple issues like ui problems.. This one is smoother, has less issues, and is about on par if not better with battery life than C-rom.. But to be honest I prefer the last Omni rom, though it tested a bit slower and it's battery life isn't as good, it feels fast and is very smooth.. :)
[Nexus S General] Rubber88:
is 5750 the score without overclocking? it's very high. I got the same result overclocking to 1296 Mhz with JellyShot
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Yes, smartassv2/row 100/1000, using modded version and Devil kernel.. :) The normal version of this rom gets around 5000 with the included Guru kernel... and 5500 with the modded version and the included Guru kernel
[Nexus S General] Fas1h:
I downloaded the modded ROM and chrome is giving me this error.

"CyanAOSP_crespo_mod_07072014.zip is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it."

I know I can recover the file and all, but still I'll appreciate if somebody can shed some light on this message by chrome, I have never seen it before, this was the first time.
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
This is due to Mediafire, not the zip, if you use another browser, it'll be fine.. I'll add a link as well to dev-host..
[Nexus S General] Fas1h:
That's alright. I downloaded the file. I was just wondering if the zip is fine before i attempt flashing it.

Thanks for the quick response.

Issue on backlight dimmer

Just installed your ROM coming from jellybam android 4.2.1 I really feel the difference being on KITKAT its so blazing fast.One thing problem as of now is backlight dimmer sometimes work sometimes not. Upon rebooting device its off and when you use to call then its turning on, maybe theres a setting I can't found. Thanks again for your effort.
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
I need a bit of clarification?.. The screen or buttons?..

Try Devil kernel, it hasn't had any problems for me after nearly a week...
[Nexus S General] Fas1h:
Idk if its just me, but the ROM itself is really really smooth. But games for some reason work better on this other aosp http://xdaforums.com/nexus-s/development/rom-aosp-kitkat-4-4-2-mod-nexus-s-final-t2410844 I made a backup of this, restored that ROM and games are smooth, but ROM itself was waaaaaay better on your rom.

Did you try the nodded version?
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
Hey just resurrected my trusty old nexus s, trying out this rom and its great so far! Waiting for marmite CM version 10. Its good to be back on this board and to see so much activity on this great phone
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
To be honest, I've kept this rom on my phone because I hadn't seen anything I wanted to flash yet.. And I am more and more pleased by the fact that it is nearly as fast and fluid as the day it was first flashed.. I haven't suffered from the typical slow downs a sluggishness that seems to occur after normal usage.. I am really looking forward to see Marmite run on this as well... :)
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
I just downloaded the new marmite, going to install it now!

Are you using ART?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Dalvik, but the kernel still needs fine tuning, it slowed my phone to a crawl.. But if you are free to test it, please do..
[Nexus S General] 123go!:
Yup it did the same to me as well. I had to restore from my backup.
[Nexus S General] leap_ahead:

[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
It shouldn't have torch..?? It wasn't included in the original, I tried to include it when I tested it, but thought I removed it.. The button lights seems to be kernel related, I have no issues on Devil, but you can update Guru without worries.. ;)

Is it normal, if the free ram is 50-100?
[Nexus S General] Rushabh22:
Yes, this is normal but I am using greenify app and hibernated some app that are running in backgrounds ..

So, currently I am getting 130 mb free RAM..;)
[Nexus S General] leap_ahead:
whics app u use?
[Nexus S General] Sixfall:
What do you mean by app? it's always 50-100 when there is no running apps in background.

Ah it's normal, but why it used so much ram than stock jb version? But it still fast, even when i'm playing games. I used that greenify too, even though the max free ram is 50-150. Weird thing is when i have only 30 free, it doesn't lag at all. I still don't understand, why it used so much ram?:confused:
[Nexus S General] leap_ahead:
i have facebook app that need much ram and facebook messenger !! and is more than 50mb free !! for that i ask you..because more app instaled more app run in memory
[Nexus S General] Sixfall:
I only have bbm that is running in background, other else is not running in background. I checked it on greenify, oh and i used marmite kernel.
[Nexus S General] leap_ahead:
I use this port rom for 1 week now and I am happy !!!
[Nexus S General] Fas1h:
Can I ask a nooby question totally unrelated to the ROM? ^_^

Well, I'll do so anyway... On other phones I have used link2sd and scripts for using a partition made on sd card for installing apps. Is something like that possible on nexus s? When the data partition fills up the games start lagging terribly. And with it's internal memory it must be pretty faster read/write as compared to an sd-card so can I use link2sd? Are init.d scripts supported.

I tried enabling init.d with PmR but it kept going back to disable after I rebooted the phone. Is there any other way to increase memory? Apart from that LVM thread, I cant understand a word in that thread.
[Nexus S General] leap_ahead:
pls explain more I have 700mb free from 1gb... and 12gb free from 13gb
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
This already supports init.d and go to settings/apps/downloaded and select the app you want to move and choose the move to SD option.. Not all apps support being moved..
[Nexus S General] Fas1h:
Not that, when you move an app, only a portion of it gets moved to SD, the data, libraries and the bulk still remains on DATA partition. I meant something like this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389501

So the apps get auto installed on that ext partition. Or the int2ext script. Or like in Link2sd you can chose which apps you want to move to the ext partition and which you want to keep in data/system.

Link2sd

[Nexus S General] leap_ahead:
I am seeing in running processes that mms.apk (transaction services) is always running...anyone else have this ?

is needed ?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
The CM mms apk does this across all roms, I was just on Mokee and had the same along with EuroSkank as well.. You can stop this process, but it may interfere with the apps functionality?..

The one that bothers me is when I just open, not even set up a theme, just open the theme engine, I get the themes hijack process that can't be stopped unless you use an app that disables processes (which I do).. :)
[Nexus S General] SludgeFactory:
I like what you have done here however I am having some issues with getting things operational. I installed the special edition of your work because I wanted to give ART a try. After doing a clean install of the ROM, I changed from Dalvik to ART and then started to install my apps back to my phone. I pretty much have everything installed that I want except for a couple apps.

I had to move the apps that I could to the SD card partition due to ART causing them to take up more space.

Anyway, whenever I reboot my phone, power down/turn on, etc. it goes through the optimization process for 13 apps. During my install process it did this for a bunch of the apps I installed like expected; however, it seems that it is still trying to optimize 13 apps whenever I start-up. Any idea why this may be?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
So, your issue is that it says it is optimizing apps on reboot? but no issues on starting?.. It could be related to a script, but when I've used ART it "optimized" a couple times without any scripts.. So, I don't have a good solution..
[Nexus S General] SludgeFactory:
Correct. No issues starting, just that it is optimizing apps whenever I reboot regardless of whether or not new apps have been added.

Could it be a space issue? It seems that my phone is pretty full up on apps. Maybe when it goes to optimize some of the apps there simply isn't enough space for that so it just goes through the motions and never fully optimizes them? Does that even make sense?
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
Even the scripts shouldn't persist in "optimizing".. ?? Realistically you don't need to reboot that often..
[Nexus S General] SludgeFactory:
I normally don't reboot much at all, but I do usually shut my phone off at night. So it is kind of a hassle to go through the optimization process in the morning. I can deal with it, I was just hoping someone maybe new what the reason for this was.
[Nexus S General] Setting.Out:
May I inquire why you shut it off?..
[Nexus S General] SludgeFactory:
Haha, it's just a weird quirk of mine. I like to have it off at night.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

I'm going to try and do some trouble shooting to see what apps cause it to do this. I just wiped and reflashed the ROM and GAPPS. After everything to that point optimized, I no longer experienced the recurring optimization problem. I'll let you know what I find out when I find it out.

Really nice build, probably my last rom until Android 5 or a other phone, but i have two issues after a clean installation.

I have only the choice beetween two notification's ringtones (sncf & plastic) and not really more for calls. In addition, when i selected a music track for my alarm (with mi explorer), the track is defined like default ringtone on the phone, and a random track is played when my alarm ring.

Thanks for your answer,

thanks Setting.Out for making such a great rom.

but there is bug related to theme.when i reboot my device after applying any theme then after rebooting, the default holo theme is working irrespective of what theme is applied before rebooting (although in theme manager, applied theme is selected but default holo theme works ).therefore each time, i have to reset the default theme then my own choice theme after rebooting.
