Quick question, with my evo whenever I flashed a custom rom, I would backup my current rom, wipe everything (data and cache) then I'll flash the new rom.

Is this process the same for the Nexus S?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Xandlinger:
That's what I did and everything seems to be working.

Edit: Home button wasn't working after I flashed the ROM, however a quick reboot fixed the issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
testing it now
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
If I can find what needs to be patched!

P
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Thank you so much, let me know how it goes!
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
doin backup as we speak :D
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
And thank you for that as well :) You don't know how many don't backup and then are stuck if something doesn't work!!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
When i try to install zip file through colckworkmod it says "installation aborted" without any further details....dosnt work im afraid.

Let me know, if ya got some other files to test!
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm that's odd... and no reason why it was aborted??? :( Ok, real quick, mind just downloading a new one and trying again? Maybe it was a bad one, if not I'll go back to the drawing board. Either way, thank you for testing :)
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
redownloaded, recopied and reflashed, same problem.

Sorry. At your service for testing!
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok, no problem, I'll just try and try again :) What version of this rom are you on? 1,2, or 3, because there's different versions in the op :D I'll make a new one and let you try again when you let me know
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
MoDaCo r3 kitchen version here :)
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ah ok, so you have a custom build! Mind uploading your framework-res.apk for me? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
I believe 'update-script' (as opposed to updater-script) is not included in the Gingerbread based recoveries?

Grab my ROM and use the updater-script as a template!

P
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Where to find?
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, that's what I did, I'll try again though :)

System/framework-res.apk :D
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
here ya go mate:

[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Thanks for testing again man, I really appreciate this :D
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Glad i can help though i know a SH**T about the android system and stuff
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hey, want to tell me what's wrong? :p :D
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Sure! Problem is:

its again not working :P :D
[Nexus S Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, I know that!!!!!! :D
[Nexus S Android Development] monkeydrufy:
sorry guys,

The system ask for an update (for google maps) I click on "yes and reboot" but it shutdown and then it is stuck with an esclamation point near an android

why?
[Nexus S Android Development] CaliLove310:
I've never had to reboot to install an update to an application. Are you sure it's not the update prompt to 2.3.1? That would explain the stock recovery screen (Exclamation point).
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
THis is the total wrong thread for your question and it is NOT google maps but android 2.3.1 .....If you get stuck, then you have just to abort it one time, and then itll never bogus u again!
[Nexus S Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Actually, I aborted it and I still get the stupid OTA nag. I also followed Paul's directions in the other thread he made and am still getting the OTA prompt.
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Are you on r3? That shouldn't happen with r3.

If it does, just select 'install update', then when you get the 'triangle', pull the battery and reboot.

P
[Nexus S Android Development] smelian:
thank you for great rom

i have some problems on the rom

i tried to install some app thats need root like ( Root Explorer and some other ) but why i get FC every time i try to open it

drocap2 working well no fc titaniam back up working good but why some other getting FC

i tried ur rom and pure rom after root still got same problem

thank u
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Worked 100% for me!
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Did u wipe?!?
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
You're not trying to root a pre-rooted ROM are you?

P
[Nexus S Android Development] smelian:
i know your rom is rooted but what i mean some app thats need to have root getting FC like ( Root explorer )

and some app working well like Market-Enabler -drocap2 - titaniam back up

i dont know iff the problem with super user or from my root
[Nexus S Android Development] avetny:
sir how to delete this problem !!!!!!! WaveSecure ???? titanium back up dosn't work.....and i cant delete from Astro....

+we got 6.5 mb on ram because this very helpful programm.... :D

thank you....
[Nexus S Android Development] htcincpa:
I was able to delete WaveSecure with root explorer with no issues. Here's the path to the program. /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
[Nexus S Android Development] avetny:
oooo thank you my friend !!!;)
[Nexus S Android Development] zomgzombies:
no clue what's going on. Maybe it's my phone. i've wiped and started fresh with no apps but oh well. Using the custom right now and it seems fine. maybe it was a sign ha!
[Nexus S Android Development] kalagas:
Maybe try this: uninstall Root Explorer, reboot into Clockwork Recovery, do wipe dalvik and wipe cache, reboot, re-install Root Explorer.

Maybe this will work for you...
[Nexus S Android Development] wooger:
I've just installed r3 with a full wipe, and then restores a few apps with titanium. The engadget app now force closes when started. I tried deleting app data - no change. I tried uninstalling and downloading from the market again - no change.

Can anyone else reproduce this?
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
I use the Engadget app with no issues...

[Nexus S Android Development] stonew5082:
also willing to test the battery mod!
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
i've only had these issues when trying to restore apps via titanium backup. try uninstalling that app and downloading it straight from the market again.

at any rate, so far r3 is running perfect aside from the initial OTA request to 2.3.1 which was quickly resolved.

battery life has been tremendous vs. stock rom. probably the best battery life i've experienced on any android device i've tried.
[Nexus S Android Development] hah2110:
You have to run a fix permissions to fix the FCs.
[Nexus S Android Development] Sndan:
can any body confirm that adb working ?
[Nexus S Android Development] hah2110:
Paul,

One thing I've noticed is that I can't change the network type to wcdma preferred. On stock, the standard *#*# into the menu didn't work. It never did on the galaxy line. It just wouldn't retain the settings. When using anycut though to add a shortcut to "testing", it used to retain until a reboot. On mcr, I can't change the network type at all. It won't retain. why does samsung prohibit this and especially on vanilla android? it is really annoying as I get better battery on wcdma preferred. Any way to resolve this?
[Nexus S Android Development] hah2110:
Also, still having problems finding apps in market like ultimate juice.
[Nexus S Android Development] lazyn00b:
@hah2110:

The first time I tried the *#*#4636#*#* trick to switch to WCDMA only, it wouldn't stick. I tried again after a reboot, and now it stays on WCDMA only even after wiping settings and flashing ROMs.

So I guess my advice is to keep trying :)
[Nexus S Android Development] lazyn00b:
VOIP over 3G success

@paulobrien:

I entered my Gizmo SIP account credentials, and I am happy to report that inbound and outbound internet calls are working very well over 3G! My 3G latency is only about 100 ms here, so that probably helps.

The only bummer (so far) is that internet calls do not hand off between 3G and WiFi or vice-versa. So if you start a call on WiFi, you need to stay near your router or the call will be dropped.

Overall, this is a killer feature, making MoDaCo the undisputed granddaddy of all Nexus S ROMS :D

I'll continue testing and report back if there are any problems.

Request ::: support proxy setting
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
any way to delete it without buying root explorer? i try super manager but wavesecure always comes right back.

Also i hit the "problems?" button in titanium backup and my busybox went from 1.18.1 to 1.16.0

how do i get the 1.18.1 back? Reflashing madaco didn't seem to do it.

edit: also i didn't have wavesecure or titanium backup until i installed this rom.... i think the ti is using busybox from within its own app.... can i get it back to using the 1.18.1?

do i even need it? I just want the easiest way to get all my apps/settings back after a factory wipe.
[Nexus S Android Development] d0ugie:
Yeah, either get in through your CLI with adb shell or download Android Terminal Emulator from the market, then su root, then rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk

If it says it won't delete because it's a read only filesystem you need to remount the root filesystem on the root directory. Know how to do that?

Confused why they'd include this software in the first place.
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
yes it complained about read only filesystem.

i typed what i normally do on a normal nix system

mount -o remount, rw /

and then tried the rm again but it still said read only fs. what did i do wrong?
[Nexus S Android Development] miguelmondo:
+1

I absolutely love the mod to allow SIP calling over 3G! It would be great if it could be further enhanced to automatically switch between WiFi and 3G.

Thanks for your hard work!

Dialer & Battery Usage

I have yet to flash r3, still using r2 but I'm curious if anyone else is seeing the same as I am. When I look at battery usage, dialer is saying 25% and is far the worst abuser of usage. The funny thing is that since I've had this phone and gotten back home to the Netherlands, I haven't called a single person nor have I even opened the dialer more than once or twice.

Is it just me or does this seem a bit high....?

Thanks,

Kyle

enable hspa ??

please can anyone let men know how to get the H icon ???? like shown on the picture ??? please i really want hspa to work on this device, i am pretty sure that i have a hspa in my area but nexus s is only showing me 3g, please can anyone let me know how to enable it ???? please

Thank you in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] CaliLove310:
I believe it only shows up when you actually receive an HSPA signal. For example, in my house downstairs I get full bars 3G and sometimes HSPA but either with no bars or one bar, but coming upstairs my signal changes to HSPA with full bars. You may just not be getting a good enough HSPA signal or none at all.
[Nexus S Android Development] booyakasha:
Yes, I've also read it doesn't play nice with 2.3
[Nexus S Android Development] tern:
Try the following:

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
[Nexus S Android Development] Amin Sabet:
HSPA is 3G. With this ROM, if you have 3G, it should show you an "H". When 2G, it should show "E". At least that's what it does on my phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] mrmarshall428:
Trinity Kernel

Has anyone got the Trinity v2.0 kernel to work with this rom? I've tried it once and got a lot of lag. I saw in the bionix rom thread someone say it was working nicely.
[Nexus S Android Development] arkster:
Alternatively you can use ES File Explorer. The new version has a beta root option in the settings. Enable that and when you try to delete the apk file, it will ask you permission to mount /system.
[Nexus S Android Development] mrRobinson:
yea thanks i got it with one of the apps... though i think if I'd have done the remount with /system instead of / that would have worked too. just didn't think of it at the time.

anyone know when another modaco rom is due? i'm tempted to go to bionix to try the trinity kernel but i do like the stability this rom has given.

[Nexus S Android Development] Lalaca:
Apologies for the somewhat noobish question, but how is one supposed to use the newly included Stk?

Coming from the Galaxy S, where it is visible and readily accessible from the app drawer, the difference is puzzling.

I have tried making direct shortcuts to the various activities of the Stk, but they either don't work or cause FCs of the phone process.
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Hmm, maybe it's not Rom specific. I tried it on CM7 nightly and got the same FC error.
[Nexus S Android Development] hah2110:
It is because there is NO Battery History in Gingerbread. You can't access it in the Testing menu but Spare Parts still has the option. It is pointing to an unavailable resource. It is like making a shortcut on your desktop to a file, then deleting the file but not the shortcut.

What is STK?
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Correct, i've fixed it for the r6 build of Spare Parts.

Stk = SIM Toolkit. I've compiled the AOSP STK app, but my provider doesn't use STK, so i'm unable to test at present...

P
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Be happy to test it for you :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ryan562:
i can't even update adfree manually. it force closes with a system message, " ERROR java.io.EOFException "
