i just put bugless beast on orig droid 2 days ago. what i like about it is that it doesn't do too much and is pretty stable. only overclocks to 800 which is fairly conservative compared to others. I realized this is what i like about modaco on nexus s. it doesn't try to do too much. I'd like to see you take the cpu to 1.2 eventually which will be conservative and maybe add the hosts file from mvps.

here is their latest changelog, compare that to a UD or cyanogen and its pretty tame.

I upgrade from r3 to r8

Some times the device restart it self

Do I have to wipe before installation ?

Or is this commen issue in the Tom
[Nexus S Android Development] englefield:
Seems to be happening to several different people and me. R6 was fine though for me. I would do a complete wipe and fresh flash to test it but I just cba atm :D
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
I sense r9 dropping at any moment :)
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Amen to that :D
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Alright people, there's a new update... a 'r8 refresh'.

This is the debut of 'Appearance Packs', basically graphical changes built into the ROM that affect other installed apps - firstly Tweetdeck. If you select the 'Tweetdeck appearance pack' from the kitchen, your Tweetdeck notification icon will look like the image below. Much more in keeping with Gingerbread than the stock option.

In line with this new option and in light of the interest in my AdFree patch, the default 'extras' prebake now includes the appearance pack and AdFree... no kitchen access required.

Enjoy! :)

P

PS If you reinstall / update Tweetdeck, you have to reboot to reapply the appearance pack.
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
How the Tweetdeck appearance pack works!

The appearance pack consists of the following parts:

Zip binary in /system/bin (thanks freeasbeer)

Script in /system/etc/init.d, called by run-parts at startup

Replacement images in /system/etc/appearance/tweetdeck

How it works is this:

At system startup script is called from /etc/init.d

Script remounts system r/w

Script checks for the Tweetdeck APK in /data/app. If it exists, it moves it to /system/app

Script zips the new images into the relocated Tweetdeck APK

Script remounts system r/o

Now, this might seem a bit strange (particularly the 'move to system' bit), but let me explain why it's done this way.

If you modify an APK, you break the certificate. It becomes invalid. Now, Android checks the integrity of the APKs in /data/app at start, but not in /system/app. So, if you mess with something in /data/app, it'll break. If you mess with something in /system/app, you can get away with it.

The clued up amongst you are probably asking 'why not just re-sign the APK on device in /data/app'? The answer to this is straightforward - if you re-sign the APK with a difference certificate, you break the ability to update the app via the Android Market, which is important.

Simple yet effective huh? ;) For devs, i've included all the required files to see how this works here.

[Nexus S Android Development] Star Shadow:
Hi,

I version r8 of your Rom. Whenever I held down the power button to bring up the power options and chose Reboot, the application would lock up. I couldn't do anything. The menu would stay there, even if I pressed the home key. The screen underneath the menu would change, but the menu would stay there. I would eventually get a popup saying that the application was frozen, I chose force close, but no change. I help the power button again, but nothing. I had to resort to pulling out the battery in order to shut the phone off.

The following is a set of steps I took to put the mod on my phone, just in case there is anything wrong with my method.

1) I unlocked the bootloader

2) put the clockwork recovery on using the guides here at XDA.

3) Did both wipe options in the clockwork menu and even formatted my sdcard to get rid of all the crap on there.

4) Mounted USB Storage using Clockwork.

5) Transfered over your Rom that I downloaded from your website. It was the "r8 (default options, without MoDaCo additions)" version.

6) Unmounted the storage.

7) Installed the Rom by choosing the zip file.

8) Rebooted.

Steps to reproducing the bug.

1) Hold down power button until the power options menu comes up.

2) Press Reboot.

3) Nothing happens and eventually a force close popup will show up. Still nothing happens after that.

I am interested in your Rom, because you have a tweaked kernel without overclocking. My battery would not last that long if I overclocked a Nexus S. :P

Thanks, and please keep up the awesome work you are doing with this Rom!
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
For me, then reboot options then appear as intended! Anyone else?

P
[Nexus S Android Development] Star Shadow:
Just a thought. Would faulty Hardware cause the reboot option to not function right? I'm sorry, but I don't remember what application the popup said was frozen, but I remember that the name seemed like it had to do with rebooting. :) I flashed back the stock rom already. I had a few other quirks. Like after installing stuff from the market, the phone rebooted.
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
No...

[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Hi paul,

Just flashed r8 refreshed....the tweetdeck appearance pack is great. However I'm new to adfree and not sure if I'm doing it right. I'm clicking check daily and the symlink host file option and pressing download. It says I'm good to go and my device should be adfree from now on...but to clear the DNS cache, a reboot might be needed. So I did a reboot then I started astro file manager and found ad at the bottom. What am I doing wrong???:( plz help.

Thanks for another awesome rom!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] Sndan:
mine is stick in a landscape mode in all apps and all areas

any help ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Star Shadow:
I've had this issue with the stock version of Android as well. I fixed it by restarting. Does it stay in Landscape mode after restarting? Mine finally stopped doing it now for some reason. I noticed that it would go into Landscape mode when the battery was low.
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Go to settings - display, make sure auto rotate is checked.
[Nexus S Android Development] Sndan:
it still after restarting and yes it is Checked

... !
[Nexus S Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Paul,

Will you please consider adding DSP Manager to your ROM? It really enhances the music listening experience. It can be found in the CM7 nightlies.

Cheers.

Anyone else having ThinkFree Office force close?
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
I have a different issue with Thinkfree office... i can see it in Manage Application option in settings (around 9.58 MB) but i dont see it in menu!!

Will you please tell me if i have to activate it from somewhere??:confused::confused:

hi Paul

my nexus s somtimes just reoots ...

i have a R8 Rome from your onlune kitchen ...

any ideas? anyone?
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
have you wiped, reflashed r8?

no reboots here..
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
Hrmm weird. I did a fix permissions from rom manager, now when I try to look at battery stats, it fcs again. :(
[Nexus S Android Development] metajames:
Yeah. I'm getting this too. Also happens in r6.
[Nexus S Android Development] Highland3r:
Anyone else getting random "death" of mobile signal?

Randomly the phone seems to loose connection - although the phone does still show it has HSPDA signal in the "about phone" section, no carrier is available.

Another phone on o2 retains connection (as do other colleagues phones at work) so pretty sure its not a carrier issue.

Airplane mode behaves strangely - it appears to enable (i.e plane icon on notification bar) but the check box next to the setting never activates (which has the nice sideffect of requiring a phone reboot to resolve)

Can't remember exactly when this started, however I believe it's been since R8. It's likely I just need to wipe and re-flash, but just wanted to check to ensure others aren't seeing the issue and have a better workaround before going down that route.

Cheers
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Confirmed, will be fixed in r9. :)

[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
I'm on it... ;) thanks!

any foreshadowing on kernel tweaks you might do in the future? I'd love to see you take a stab at 1.2/1.3 on demand with lower voltages to have faster than stock with better batt life...

i was experiencing loss of.connection.as.well but a wipe.and reflash seems to have solved.the issue
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
The adblock app is gone from your rom now and I can't find it in the market. Anyone know where I can find it?

edit: nvm, its called adfree that's why....
[Nexus S Android Development] olaviivalo:
Any idea if SIM Toolkit (STK) is really working and how to gain access to it?

I can see it in all apps list from menu but its not listed when I open apps from drawer. Also It does not to respond to incoming requests. Any ideas?
[Nexus S Android Development] zeiroe:
Paul,

Did you take the SIP calling feature out of your standard MoDaCo tweaks? I am no longer able to make SIP calls over 3G ... :Sad Panda:
[Nexus S Android Development] antz88c:
STK still not showing. Any workaround? Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] schizopunk:
I think I've narrowed down the reboot issue on the phone (for me at least...) it seems to happen when using the Market, more specifically downloading an app. Not sure if there's an easy fix or not.
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Whoops, i'll put it back in next build!

P
[Nexus S Android Development] zeiroe:
WOOT! Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] rimoragl:
i have the same problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] exanteo:
uhm, i have uninstall setcpu, and random reboot happens no more
[Nexus S Android Development] intothevoid:
This issue might be related to something else, there is a thread about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882518

I was experiencing this as well and so far changing to a new sim card (the one that came with the NS) and having T-Mobile reset the data towers seems to be working for me. I say it's not rom related because my wife's NS which is running stock was experiencing the same problem from time to time and it has been ok as well.
[Nexus S Android Development] docsamsom:
Faulty phone function

Hi,

Over the past couple of days I have noticed a fault that seems to crop up every few hours or so. The phone function seems to not work. When I dial someone, it seems like the phone is connected; i.e the time starts ticking away, but the call is not connected. Also , the "connection" is not preceded by a ringing tone. It sorts itself after a reboot. Did not have this prior to r8...running r9 now. Anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus S Android Development] Highland3r:
Touch wood, since wiping/flashing to R9 things have been better. Lasted a day so far without loosing mobile signal - fingers crossed!
[Nexus S Android Development] sonnysekhon:
I have the had the same issue twice now. Now that I recall, it started with r8.
[Nexus S Android Development] docsamsom:
r9 seems a lot buggier than three the previous versions. Have been getting screen freezes and intermittent reboots. Tried wiping and reinstalling....no change.

Anyone else been suffering from the same issues?

Hoping it's gonna be sorted in the next release.
[Nexus S Android Development] tempera:
Paul can you please include the 2.3.2 update in the next rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
As soon as the 2.3.2 update URL becomes available i'll start merging in the changes.

I just got my first reboot. First time I'm on launcher pro and not adw though too. Anyone else with reboots on launcher pro?
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Gotta agree with you on this one!!! the reboots are really painful!! But hopefully it all will be fixed in r10!!:D

EDIT: Plus the phone takes a lot of time to get establish a connection!!
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Yup facing the same problem!!! It acts like the connection takes a long time to get established and you need to wait to hear the ringing tone!!
[Nexus S Android Development] theophane:
Hello,

I've been running this ROM for a week now with no major issues, but still, there is a question I can't answer by myself...

What are the benefits of running this ROM rather than the stock one ?

The phone is still damn laggy, and see no improvements at all compared to the stock ROM.

What benefits are all those "under the hood" improvements supposed to bring ?

Thanks !
[Nexus S Android Development] wargy:
I would like to have that answer too, please :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
r9 has been running super smooth for me after a wipe and reflash.

Great ROM!!! Been running for a few days and it screams without issues. Well, now Google is nagging the **** out of me with the 2.3.2 update.

Re-added 'internet calling without wifi' prebake
[Nexus S Android Development] xrizwan:
I'm still on r2 and still a rookie when it comes to this so how do I update to r10?
[Nexus S Android Development] FaithCry:
back up anything you want with titanium backup

go into clockwork recovery and wipe cache and then factory reset

then go to install the zip file from the sd card

reboot and titanium restore

hope this helps!
[Nexus S Android Development] amjad_2020:
I love this one for now there is no problem

Did you change the Build number to show only GRH78C?
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Whoops, yeah, my bad, i'll fix that next release. :)

P
[Nexus S Android Development] xrizwan:
So r10 is it the same link on the first page I just download that?
[Nexus S Android Development] zeiroe:
The ability that the internet calling without wifi grants is huge. Google Voice forwarding to my Gizmo5 account means free incoming calls. Very tasty. Thank you Paul for reincluding it in your prebake.
[Nexus S Android Development] rborg:
I've read through all the threads and realize I can flash r10 without a wipe since I have r8. I just want to be clear: do I need to then restore all of my apps and settings, or is it like the ota updates in that it just upgrades?

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
many thanx paul! gonna flash r10 now

edit; just flashed..every thing seems to b running smooth!
[Nexus S Android Development] metajames:
Sorry for the noob question...

Is the best policy to wipe, flash and restore for every update or can I just flash r10 on top of r9?
[Nexus S Android Development] rborg:
Wondering the same
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
yes its safe. i just flashed over r9. states this in the OP
[Nexus S Android Development] rborg:
And you dont need to restore your apps. Or settings?
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
nope all those remain intact. wipe cache and dalvik cache and you'll be set. if you get FC's fix perms and that's all i ever do. Only need full factory wipe when going between roms unless he makes some major changes.
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
For those with the 'crash on Market download issue', could you try 'clearing data' in Settings -> Applications for the Market / Vending app?

[Nexus S Android Development] tempera:
Any of u using 1.5 trinity? I keep getting FCs.
[Nexus S Android Development] monkeydrufy:
On market i can only delete cache

on market feedback agent I can delete both data and cache

which one I have to delete?

I have also another issue, often it show crash on "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"

Simply flash a bake without the fingerprint tweak over the top?

[Nexus S Android Development] ravidavi:
Back in thread #441 on page 45, StarShadow pointed out a bug in which the Reboot option (from the power button options menu) causes a system hang.

This is happening to me too, on r10. I select Reboot, and in the background the "Reboot" app launches, but the power buttons option menu stays on the screen. If I press the home key, I can see the Launcher activate in the background, and eventually I get the message "Activity Launcher (in application Launcher) is not responding" with Force close/Wait/Report options.

This inevitably requires a battery pull for me.

The old post on this seems to have fizzled out, and I wanted to see if anyone else had the problem still.

I'm running the prebake r10 (default options, without MoDaCo additions). I'm wondering whether the lack of additions is causing this?

Ravi
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
i use it all the time and don't have this issue. i DO have the additions though.... so you could be correct about that.
[Nexus S Android Development] Star Shadow:
Another person that had the same issues as me. :) I too was running without the additions, so maybe if some others would like to test that image to see if it happens to them? Is there something in the additions that would make the reboot feature work right? I looked at what was in the additions, and it didn't seem like there was any program in there that did anything for reboot, so it might be a build script error that leaves something out. And that is definitely worth checking out. :)

Thanks for confirming my report, ravidavi, it makes me feel a bit better that it is not entirely my phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] intothevoid:
I am having the market issue as well. Flashed it without the fingerprint.
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
reboot option works perfectly fine.for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] Star Shadow:
Are you using the ROM that is labeled "without MoDaCo additions"? That is the one that seems to have reboot issues.
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
my bad im on r10 with additions.
[Nexus S Android Development] intothevoid:
Anyone tried using a different market APK to see if that does anything ? I might try that.
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
im actually using the blue themed market .apk.from.the app section

im still experiencing the same issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] ravidavi:
So it seems like something from the additions is required for the Reboot option to work correctly.

Working under this assumption, we can probably eliminate WaveSecure, ROM Manager, and Titanium Backup as the missing suspects.

I installed Spare Parts from the market, but that didn't make it work either.

So the conclusion would be that something in Development Tools is needed. I don't know what's included in those ... can someone guess as to what it could be?

Ravi
[Nexus S Android Development] intothevoid:
Ah that blows. Was hoping that would work. On CM7 it works fine for some reason, not sure what is different on there. I like MCR though cause its much more snappier performance wise and not any bugs.
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
I agree, great Rom. I always liked Paul's work going back to the N1.

Would be nice to see an overclocked kernel with audioboost :) and battery percentage ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] intothevoid:
Yeah that would be cool.
[Nexus S Android Development] sonnysekhon:
I can help you guys with half of that :), flash in recovery.

Maybe Paul will include it as an addon ;).
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:

[Nexus S Android Development] tempera:
Paul what about the fingerprint not working on the market, some apps not showing. Check last 2 pages, many people having that problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] Star Shadow:
I never would have guessed that reboot would need something with the USB. :P Glad you found the cause, so hopefully this will be fixed in future builds. :) Thanks for looking into it.
