FINALLY :)

Thanks Paul....last thing missin is Powercontrol in Pulldown ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
What is power control in pulldown exactly?

P
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
I've put a test version of a fixed Arabic pack in the kitchen at the MoDaCo post, can you try that if you have access?

[Nexus S Android Development] sona911:
Thx a million for ur help
[Nexus S Android Development] sona911:
I will as soon as i am infront of my pc and let u knw..thx again
[Nexus S Android Development] sonnysekhon:
This is what he is refering to.
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Oh, I see!

Nifty... looks like an arse to implement. I could pull the appropriate code over from CM I imagine...

P
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
I use widgetsoid, which has an option to provide an ongoing notification link. 1 more click I guess.

P
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Can you?^^ would be appreciated ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Not sure... I like to keep MCR pretty stock, and this diverts from that a bit.

It's also very subjective, I don't particularly like it for example. :D

P
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Okay, youre the dev. i Dont mind if you dont want to implement.

:)

its just that i got used to it, and by saving the space for the power control widget i get a long with only 3 homescreens, which i like very much ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] sonnysekhon:
I agree, the ROM is perfect as it is.

I use it with Trinity1.2 and could not ask for more. Quadrant score: 3100 :D.

I use Quicksettings as you can see in the screenshots. It provides plenty more options than the CM power widget including links to the actual settings in settings.apk.

@RinTinTigger: Give it a try, you won't regret it :).
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
All hail to the Hypnotoad

Will do!
[Nexus S Android Development] co0kie:
It lets you turn on/off all your 'control widgets' from the pull down notification area. Its nice!

Btw, just finished reading all the posts on this thread! phew that took like 1.5 hours. Will flash after work! Thanks so much for the contribution your giving!

Hey, it may be a noob question but just to make sure...

when you say ideally i should wipe my device. What is the best 'wipe' method?

Entering recovery >> and wiping? as I know there is the Dalvik wipe and cache wipe so should i wipe all of it ? if so, is there a one single way to wipe everything all together?

thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Recovery data / cache wipe.

[Nexus S Android Development] mrmarshall428:
Sonnysekhon you say your using trinity v1.2, does your bluetooth work?
[Nexus S Android Development] belair56:
Paul, your adfree is working.

Thank you very much.
[Nexus S Android Development] distortedloop:
It's your ROM, what you like counts! ;)

This is actually one of the features I miss from my i9000. Didn't your i9000 have this?
[Nexus S Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Yes.......
[Nexus S Android Development] schizopunk:
Great work! I have two suggestions though.

1. When you unlock the phone, the colors of the sliders are kinda messed up, shows white.

2. A better adblocking system would be to change the "hosts" file in /system/etc/... I've linked to the file.

Keep it up! ;)

AdBlock Hosts (Save Link As...)
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
My only question is if we could somehow get wifi calling working for this :) I know Paul is in the UK and can't test it, but does anyone else or could I help in any way? I would be willing to donate...
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
Not sure if mentioned but reboot function doesn't seem to work...flashed r6 rom twice just to make sure

also like mentioned above unlock colors are messed

Other than that great ROM as usual :)
[Nexus S Android Development] sona911:
Hey it worked. Thanks Paul that is awesome.. this is so helpful so please keep it in the kitchen for all the upcoming versions as well..
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
How is that better exactly? :)

P
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Will check out the sliders.

Did you *redownload* r6 to be sure?

P
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Yes same here... the reboot function doesn't work properly... after selection the reboot option it gives out 3 options - reboot , recovery and bootloader modes. and after selecting reboot... it stays in the same screen.

Please check at your end!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] oaldawe:
thanks alot for adding arabic in kitchen its rally work great

thanks for Ayman Alsanad for his arabic
[Nexus S Android Development] Chicaned_UK:
I'd a) re-download and install over the top b) Try a complete wipe and instal ROM again if 'a' didn't work.

Reboot function works ok my end on r6. I just installed over the top of r5.
[Nexus S Android Development] schizopunk:
Basically instead of needing an external app, its just built in. I used to use AdFree in the market until I found this.
[Nexus S Android Development] nickmv:
Paul, great mod rom, I'm really enjoying it so far. I flashed r5 last night, then just flashed r6 on top of it this morning. I noticed, however, that Bigtincan AdFree still doesn't work for me (java EOFException). Do I need to completely wipe and flash, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Edit: My apologies. I didn't notice that the fix was separate from the r6 ROM. I'm downloading the fix and trying it now.
[Nexus S Android Development] Rosaski:
QUOTE(Paul @ Jan 12 2011, 05:34) *

There is an issue with AdFree in this (and other GB) ROMs it seems.

To fix...

* Uninstall your current installed version of AdFree

* Download this APK file

* Push / copy the file to /system/app/ (you may need to 'adb remount', it will NOT install in the usual way due to a broken signature - which is deliberately left as such to allow future market upgrades)

This is an interim fix that is working for me, I am trying to liaise with the developer and diagnose further. Note that if in the future you apply updates from the Market, they may 'undo' the fix if the issue isn't resolved.

P

PS This should also work on CM7 which has the same problem!

[Nexus S Android Development] docsamsom:
Hi,

Thanks a lot for the brilliant work, Paul.

I have just flashed r6 on my previous r5 without wiping. Everything else seems fine except the new reboot feature.

It does not do anything....does not freeze, as I can press back to Home. I end up restarting the good old method by pressing power and then off.

Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem?
[Nexus S Android Development] sonnysekhon:
I have the same problem. You can use quickboot until we get a fix.
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Excellent update Paul. As stated, the reboot feature is not working but no biggie. Everything else is rock solid and stable. Thanks

[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
but who updates that hosts file with new ad servers?
[Nexus S Android Development] schizopunk:
From my experience using this host file I've yet to see an ad on my phone, inside apps and all. It was just recently updated I think last month as well.
[Nexus S Android Development] giodesi1965:
I have flashed R6 on R5 without wipes: but reboot not work.

The device is still experiencing the reboot, but does not
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Just realised I fixed it in the kitchen but not the prebakes. It'll be fixed in the next release.

P
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
funny i just checked the site and now updated Jan 13. and yes since i put it on there have been zero ads.

I think it would be great if this were in a rom load and just updated whenever the rom is updated. speeds up some things too as a lot of crap is just resolving to 127 now and without the resource hit of an app doing stuff.
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Regarding battery life of r6!!

Well can't complain!! Unplugged the phone around 6:20AM. now after 17 hours 50 minutes, it shows 30%!!! ;)

I will say my usage was moderate to heavy...

1.display taking up 26% of the battery

2.Voice calls 23% or around 32 min

3.constant exchange push... around 3%

4.twitter and facebook...

5.Android OS and System also taking up some good amount!!

But all in all... i am happy with the battery life!!

Thanks Paul!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] tempera:
NY soft key lights do not light up until you touch them. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Any heads up when the r7 is due?? May be this weekend?? :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
x2 I can now go through two full days at work with Paul's roms.
[Nexus S Android Development] hah2110:
for those of you with great battery, are you wiping before flashing?
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
Nope. Ive been flashing over since r2.
[Nexus S Android Development] konman795:
Great ROM, donated a long time ago since I've had my Nexus One and still doing a great job, keep it up!
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
Have any of u had any problems using clockwork recovery on r6? It keeps bringing me to the google boot screen with open padlock but hangs there. I have to pull the batt. Can't get in to recovery at all.
[Nexus S Android Development] englefield:
I had the exact same problem using Modaco rom and bionix trinity kernal on Nexus S. I had to adb push clockwork 3.0.0.0 to the device from bootloader and wipe/reflash the rom. Then everything worked again.
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
thanks. i'll try that next time it happens. i just did some thing else similar that worked; instead of using the "reboot in to recovery" option on the rom manager i used the "install rom from sd card" option and reflashed R6. that seemed to work as i also had to reflash the r6 rom and now clockwork is working normally again...wierd :confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Amazing man... waiting for that result!!! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Flashing over the existing from r4!!!;)
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
can u please share your usage pattern??? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
moderate-to-light usage. i work 8-10 hours shifts as i casually browse the web, regularly check email, text message friends and coworkers a few times, and make calls at home to check on the family. i come to work with battery at 95-98 pct and usually go home at 75-80pct. on my old android phones like the vibrant or mytouch4g, my pct would be down to 20pct or near discharge.
[Nexus S Android Development] monkeydrufy:
similar here

I can go in recovery but when I choice reboot with power button, it doens't reboot and I have to pull the battery

When you wipe does it delete everything? Music, pics, etc?

Yes... It wipes everything :-)

On The Moon... Sent From a Nexus S :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
A factory reset (what this rom requires) does not erase the "SD"/USB storage.
[Nexus S Android Development] allareconnected:
Actually, music & pictures are not erased... however, the "download" folder is erased.

Edit: my files are still in the download folder when I go into it via Astro!

[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
AdFree the included version or AdFree from the market?

P
[Nexus S Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Got it fixed Paul, had to uninstall coz my Google backup automatically installed the market version. Good thing there was a link to the fixed apk in your forum. Thanks for the great ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Downloaded and flashed..r8 is running smooth!!! :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Hi...can u suggest which adfree apk you are talking here about??? It would be a great help. Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] hah2110:
Paul,

Can you fix it so that in testing mode we can change the preferred network type? In all the galaxy phones, the setting change never sticks.
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
r8 is out....and it runs SWEET...only thing missing is the Powercontrol inside the notificationbar ;) ;) ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] nickmv:
The link to the modded/fixed APK is http://www.mediafire.com/?2fp7wkgdyf8dbpf

You CANNOT simply install it like any other app. You're going to have to use the adb push command through a terminal to install the program. I use a Mac and do it through the Terminal app using "~/Desktop/androidsdk/platform-tools/adb push AdFree.MCR.apk /system/app"

You'll need to mount your filesystem as R/W, most easily done by launching Root Explorer on the phone and pressing "Mount R/W".

If this seems too complicated, you might want to just wait til the developer fixes the app on the Market.
[Nexus S Android Development] nickmv:
Just flashed r8 and it's running smoothly and stable! Reboot functions work properly as well. Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Was ok till pushing the apk through adb... but mounting the system to R/W seems a bit too technical plus I don't have root explorer. Let's see what happens!!! Thanks for the tip though!!! :-)
[Nexus S Android Development] Araf:
Hi Paul,

After dnload and flash your ROM via clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 then reboot it, why I always endup stuck at nexus logo?
[Nexus S Android Development] DanRyb:
R8 is superb! All the others were too but this one seems even faster. A power control in the notifications bar would be AWESOME! I haven't even bothered flashing other ROMs, I am simply loving yours Paul!

Another beauty Paul. Had r8 running since this morning and no issues whatsoever.
[Nexus S Android Development] englefield:
Getting some random reboots with R8 and lpro crashes. Didn't get any with R6. Might try total wipe and see if that fixes it...

R8 is going great but would be perfect with the addition of notification toggles such as rotation etc.

R8 is great reboot works fine and also slider is fixed..thanks again

BTW as soon as i can used my friends or setup a paypal ill send a much deserved donation

Paul, can you please fix the reboot issue? my phone keeps rebooting like 2-3 times a day randomly. I never had this with r6 and many other people are having this issue.

If you can fix that, a donation will be coming!
[Nexus S Android Development] co0kie:
Just flashed r8, damn it is FAST and snappy! thank you!

two things I have noticed on r8 in comparison to 2.3.1 stock:

1. Suddenly, i got REAL push from gmail - is this something you did or settings you've changed? How come i didnt have this real push before?

2. adfree still crashes on me when updating hosts files, is there something specific i need to do?

Thanks,
[Nexus S Android Development] englefield:
Aye, same. R6 was fine but R8 a couple of issues with reboots. Damn fast though :D
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Will look at it when I get time. :)

P
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
I've not had a single reboot... but I hear a fix is coming from GOOGLE for a reported reboot issue that also occurs on stock.

Unless you can give me a logcat of just before reboot, there's not a whole lot I can do i'm afraid.

P
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
1. Nope, not changed anything in that regard I don't think other than pulling in the latest googlebits. I've always had real push I think.

2. Did you use the modified APK or the kitchen? The AdFree from the Market still crashes - the dev needs to update it for GB.

P
[Nexus S Android Development] co0kie:
Oh I didnt use the modified APK. I'll download it. I assume its in the download section?
[Nexus S Android Development] wickedsaint:
Well I don't know of its a ROM issue... the stock weather widget stops automatically refreshing after a bit..it happens with location service on/off... anybody facing it??
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
No reboots here was on stock and now using 1.2b kernel from trinity.

You will probably get random reboots if using 1.3-1.4 trinity but that's with any rom not just this

If you're not on a Triny kernel then ...no clue

Nice. So I know your only into stock look/feel, but any chance of a way to change the lock screen to the rotary like in cm? :) anything else you wanna tell me about r9 that I can look forward to?

MCR r8 - Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
No plans to change the lockscreen... you could probably compile up the CM lockscreen for this if you wanted, doesn't really make sense tho. :)

[Nexus S Android Development] tempera:
Can you please put the controls in the notification pull down? Like wifi etc...
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
Yeah I figured that was what you were gonna say lol. Doesn't hurt to ask! :)

MCR r8 - Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] bratfink:
Which lockscreen are you talking about? Which rom is it in?
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
It's in the crackflashers thread. CM7 has the option to change the lockscreen to a rotary type in cm settings.

Hi Paul,

Can you please tell me what is the widget on top (immediately after the status bar), which looks like power control widget??:confused:

And if possible i would be grateful if you can suggest me a solution of getting the weather widget to work/refresh automatically!!! :)

Thanks a ton!!
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
It's the power widget, which Paul no doubt modified to his liking.

The new version of the genie widget does not seem to update. I reverted to the last version by pulling it out of another rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] Amritttt:
I installed skyfire and whenever I open google browser and browse it will keep on prompting to select the default browser even after selecting the google browser its really annoying how do I get rid of it.
