[Nexus S Android Development] beetlejelly:
Thanks Koush!

I noticed that my "ROM Manager" does not see this update, and when I go to "Download ROM," It only shows the original Alpha 2.
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
I just redownloaded that one (after clearing cache), and it is the same one as before. the one in the 1st post is the new one.
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
And the Japanese IME is OpenWmn.apk in /system/app/
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
its japanese keyboard...remove it :)

cmparts have been implemented some few builds ago. New in my latest compile last night the new official CM7 boot animation was merged. It's nice..

cheers mate
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
new CM7 boot animation is super slick. Love it.
[Nexus S Android Development] Koush:
Feel free to stop into irc.freenode.net #koush to report bugs.
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
do you have to wipe everything if you are just updating to the latest version? thx
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
No, but I do sometimes for that warm fuzzy feeling inside. With titanium backup and launcher pro backup it only takes a few minutes to get everything back to the way it was.

You should wipe cache though.
[Nexus S Android Development] hansmrtn:
Radical.

10char
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
all right, someone please help, lol....

So I did a full reset and flash/wipe just for fun.... and all is great, as was the first experience......

but I CANNOT get gapps to work, I tried it from 3 locations, tried from recovery and it aborts.... and someone said from rom manager, still nothing... do I need premium rom manager?

If someone could kindly explain in detail, so I can keep using this rom, lol

!!

thx
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
Thinks to try:

1) Delete it and download again.

2) If your manually flashing it from recovery, try mounting /system before flashing the .zip.

3) make sure you have the latest recovery... and make sure it is clockwork recovery, and then stock recovery isn't restoring itself.
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
downloaded to the point of it says (6)

down #3 - it is 3.0.0.5

will try #2 still says cant open sdcard/gapps(5).zip (bad)

installation aborted!

thx
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
redownload the gapps, they could have corrupted. or try these http://db.tt/glNYJPu
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
thx man, that worked the first try!! So I thought to myself, he probably just renamed it.... :P

So I tried extracting the 1-6 ones I had just for fun, the all errored.... I think I found the links in this thread, one was on page 22....

then I tried extracting the one you posted, extracted fine.... hence it worked, pretty weird that 3 different downloads were bad, oh well!

thx again

**so far I had 2 force close errors though, one was the task bar, other the market.... maybe I will start fresh!
[Nexus S Android Development] Dynagem:
Just downloaded latest Alpha-2-2. Where is the gingerbread wallpaper 'microbes'?
[Nexus S Android Development] nxt:
"Car Home" doesn't work with the latest January 6 release.

Even going to the Market and installing it, rebooting, etc, it doesn't "exist", even checking in /data/app it's there.
[Nexus S Android Development] nxt:
I see it on mine.
[Nexus S Android Development] mmas0n:
The launcher is not there but my Tasker profile still starts it. Odd.
[Nexus S Android Development] manook:
Just for those with issues flashing gapps etc... try putting the file in the root of sdcard. I get the bad error when I try to flash from any other folder.
[Nexus S Android Development] asci:
Confirmed the same behaviour.

Cyanogen 7 on Nexus S

Just flashed the latest version (Alpha 3) on my Nexus S and so far it's very stable. Great job and looking forward to more updates.
[Nexus S Android Development] defysword:
Torch is still not fixed.....
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
please tell me where you get alpha 3!

:P
[Nexus S Android Development] asci:
Are you referring to alpha2 06/01/2011 attached to the first post?
[Nexus S Android Development] Amin Sabet:
We should keep this thread for the official alphas from koush and leave the discussion of the unofficial builds for the Crackflashers thread. Otherwise getting too confusing.
[Nexus S Android Development] asci:
One more thing on the last version posted in this thread: I'm unable to run quadrant test. It hangs on writing test and it crushes in graphic test too.
[Nexus S Android Development] SS2006:
If I wanna install the newest alpha over craclflssher builds #29

Do I need to wipe or are.they similar Roms

(I know theresno need to flash when going from one nightly To the next)

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] gettons:
I guess so
[Nexus S Android Development] Luxferro:
tesla works fine for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] dudeimgeorge:
these crack flasher builds are the tits!
[Nexus S Android Development] Marmle:
Mine always crashes in the graphics.. Need Quadrant advance and run custon bench and un check 2d and 3d then it runs fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] RinTinTigger:
encountered an odd thing...everytime i install the new market, reboot, the old market is back up o0
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to replace adw launcher on this rom with ex.
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Do you have EX installed? If so go to settings - applications - All - Adw.Launcher - clear defaults. Then when you hit home it will prompt you as to which launcher to use. Choose EX
[Nexus S Android Development] mmas0n:
Just install ADW EX, press home button, select ADW EX as default. Done.

If for some reason after installation you are not prompted to select a default, go to settings > applications > manage applications > all > ADW.Launcher > clear defaults

You can also use the app "Home Switcher" from the Market

EDIT: damn ... too slow. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] asci:
I did a different thing: after installing adw ex I uninstalled adequate with titanium backup. It worked.
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
So uninstalling worked and to everyone answering my question that is not what I meant. I remember when I had my old mytouch that you could remove adw and put another launcher (like ex) into the rom itself but uninstalling works too.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
adb pull adw and push ex;)
[Nexus S Android Development] jroid:
adb pulling just makes a copy of the apk into a specified directory, it doesn't remove it.
[Nexus S Android Development] jonjon68:
Oops. Wrong thread. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:

[Nexus S Android Development] lpasq:
How did you fix? Same bug here.
[Nexus S Android Development] nxt:
I didn't. Car Home still not working.
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
phone would not stop force closing and it can not read my sim. I am going back to stock.
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
so I reflashed and I hope it is fixed. Why is international data roaming checked marked though? (It seems when you uncheck this it causes the phone to do what happened to mine) Sorry for the freak out reaction but I thought my phone was screwed.
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
Sounds like a lot of issues with alpha. Pretty comfortable with stock right now, will wait for a beta before I jump back on CM7. Patience people!
[Nexus S Android Development] ajftl:
I have no issues. I don't know about car home cause I don't use it. ..
[Nexus S Android Development] AndyCr15:
Same here, Alpha 3 seems stable as a stock ROM for me...
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
I have no real issues either, factory reset, wipe cache, flash.... goodness
[Nexus S Android Development] Xandlinger:
Having no issues either. Also using Trinity14.
[Nexus S Android Development] lpasq:
Actually, this alpha3 is more stable for me than the cm6 RCs were back in the day on n1. My only issue is the Car Home which I probably could get solved by pushing it with ADB system mounted or something. Will try that later. Otherwise this is a rock solid alpha that is probably not called a RC or a beta because many douche bells and whistles still coming. For me, the rom is like stock++

...sent from NxS
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
So what did they add to it, since everyone says its like stock? I had the alpha 2 and noticed nothing different. Does this release have cm settings? Dont get me wrong guys, I know CM kicks ass, but if its not soo different from stock than why make the switch?
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
Alpha 3?
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
It's titled Alpha 2 in the OP, Koush just didn't update the name but it's Alpha 3.
[Nexus S Android Development] stonew5082:
Alpha 3 is named 2 because koush forgot to change the number, didn't you read the op? And this wont cause force closes unless you are too dumb to not wipe everything before flashing, so spare us your 'I'm going back to stock crap. Except car home.

Alpha 3 has cm settings, for those who keep asking over and over.
[Nexus S Android Development] AndyCr15:
A quick look at it here -

http://hemorrdroids.net/cyanogenmod-7-0-on-nexus-s/

I probably missed some things, but I waffled on enough as it is!
[Nexus S Android Development] lpasq:
koush... thanks for living up to your pre=NxS release tweet that you'd support the device. as evident by your almost immediate release of cm7a on christmas. while cyanogen was telling us that he had gbread on his g2, you gave us gbread right from your buildbot. cool man! real cool of you. nice that rommanager is fully supporting the NxS for cm builds. really looking forward to the official nightlies pushed through you rommanager.

this current alpha is damn solid!!!

koush = "k"ing d"oush"e
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
That is the issue I did a full wipe before I installed it. After I unchecked international roaming the phone could not see my sim card and I kept getting force closes on android.system (I could still use the phone but the pop up came every 5 seconds)
[Nexus S Android Development] akalias1981:
Really? How did you manage that? I tried both Trinity 13 and 14 and both were unstable to the point of being unusable. What was your process?
[Nexus S Android Development] gundamboy:
same here, no problems so far except some random reboots ( barely ).

:) loving it
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
Anybody got torch to work on cm7 alpha 3
[Nexus S Android Development] bakron1:
Nice job, running version 3 on my NS and it has been very stable so far. Can't wait until the battery percentage feature is integrated.
[Nexus S Android Development] shata:
Thanks man for putting in your hard work to bring CM to Nexus S!
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
is the lockscreen "tv" animation disabled in cm7? Doesnt seem to work for me anymore since I started using cm7 alpha 3
[Nexus S Android Development] Xandlinger:
Mine wasn't working at first, either. But it started working again at what seemed like a random point.
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
was it just random? I really liked that feature.
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
Is there a setting that I need to make sure is on?
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
In CM Settings, theres a setting for "Screen On" and "Screen Off" make sure Screen off is checked, if you want the same effect as you turn the phone screen on.. check screen on as well.
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
did that work for you right away or did it take some time? Because I have both options checked and no dice. ugh! decided to turn it off for a while and turn it back on to see if it kicks in.
[Nexus S Android Development] URPREY:
For those having issues/missing car home, you need to adb push the following files to system/app

CarHomeLauncher.apk http://db.tt/icsimrU

CarHomeGoogle.apk http://db.tt/Rm5HuJO

I used Root Explorer to copy them over and corrected the permissions to rw-r--r-- then rebooted and everything works great with it now
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
CM7 is pretty much very stable! I see some people are using trinity 13/14 kernals, not sure if its stable enough to use with cm7 in order to overclock. Can anyone else report if they're having problems with the screen off animation? maybe a possible fix in the future?
[Nexus S Android Development] Xandlinger:
The screen on effect worked immediately. Hiwever, the screen off took I bit to start working. I was actually complaining to my friends about this issue when it started to work.
[Nexus S Android Development] stonew5082:
ten characters
[Nexus S Android Development] stonew5082:
After unchecking it? Did you input your apn manually? The only issue I've encountered it reboots durring phone calls, if they go on for more than five minutes. Not sure what the deal is there... Everything else is great.

edit: and the reboots during phone calls is not cyanogen specific. as per this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880497
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
I have not had that issue at all (was on the phone 25 minutes yesturday) What is apn?
[Nexus S Android Development] stonew5082:
Access point name. It is how your phone identifies the correct network for data. Thought it may be an issue for you. Go to settings, wireless and networks, then mobile networks, then access point names and compare the info there to settings for your carrier.
[Nexus S Android Development] lpasq:
yeah thanks. the launcher apk seems to not be in the clockwork gapps or cm7a3 (aka cm7a2 jan6) update zips.

fyi... i use this carhome too http://www.appbrain.com/app/car-home-%28beta%29/spinninghead.carhome ...it is a little busy but not bad for a change every so often ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] fineiwill89:
no =[ some one help please?
[Nexus S Android Development] mmas0n:
Use TeslaLED for now. I'm sure they will get Torch working eventually but I imagine it's not exactly high priority.
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
So they got wifi calling working on the mytouch 4g with cm7 on zinx's preview build. Awesome! Any way we can get it on here?
[Nexus S Android Development] JaMaBBo:
I know I'm a noob here and with android, but I seriously can't stop laughing at this. I guess some people just don't know how to read and keep reading to learn. And when you have a question post it in the appropriate forum.
[Nexus S Android Development] defysword:
Oc kernels are not perfect at this stage. Having superuser delay issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] JaMaBBo:
Deleted because it posted twice. No idea why.
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
I would suggest not even rooting if you have never rooted before at least right now. Just stick with stock and wait for the final release of cyanogenmod 7 or another rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
Decided to try out this Rom after being on the unofficial crackflasher nightlies. Have to see this is very smooth and everything seems to be quite stable. Thanks Koush
[Nexus S Android Development] Magikman74:
I've been using Trinity13_v2 on CM7 since nightly build #26 (or so). I've not had any problems whatsoever with the stability. All of my animations work and it's comfortable at that speed. That being said one of the things that has been pointed out is that if you use setCPU (which I do) then you should make sure that your screen off profile is set to 800 since that's what is hardwired into the Nexus S to do. Otherwise it'll cause some hiccups when the two fight over what the frequency should be.

I tried Trinity14_v1 but my Nexus S didn't like it.
[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
JaMaBBo

first go here Android Sdk with fastboot, adb and usb drivers

once you get the sdk up and running visit the next 2 threads in order

Unlock bootloader for Nexus S

Unlock/Lock Nexus S Bootloader

flash clockwork recovery here

Root and Recovery for the Nexus S

now for the rom, i suggest getting clockwork premium from the market, makes flashing (cm7) roms a breeze

also read these ops for help ADB for Dummies

and Basic adb/shell commands for noobs

one more thing of note just to clarify...once you install the sdk to your C:/ drive (I renamed my sdk folder "android") everything for unlocking, rooting and recovery happens in your android/tools folder...so with window 7 go to that folder an "open command prompt here" for xp open cmd and type

cd C:\android\tools

then anything that you want to flash or push needs to be placed in the tools folder

***anything related to android can be "learned" by searching keywords here in xda or google

good luck;)
[Nexus S Android Development] JaMaBBo:
ogdobber,

thanks so much for the info. I have a feeling my eyes are going to hurt reading all the time. But well worth it. I hope to get efficient enough to help others and maybe one day learn to make an app or add something to the community.

So far I love the android system and the Nexus S.

Well thanks again and if I have any question I will be sure to hit you up if you don't mind.

[Nexus S Android Development] ogdobber:
absolutely;)
[Nexus S Android Development] bonstio:
Just installed CM7 Alpha 2 (via Rom Manager). There is a CM Settings menu which, having read this thread, makes me think this is actually Alpha 3.

It works extremely well! Thanks for the hard work.

There is one fatal flaw which is preventing me from using it. The screen won't unlock. When the phone has been locked (i.e. screen off) for more than 5s, the screen won't unlock. The screen remains black. I have to pull the battery to get it to going again.

It's killing me. Everthing else seems to work fine (except the torch, as noted above).

I've tried a few different lock screen options (assuming this is the problem) such as different timeouts, lockscreen type (PIN, gesture etc) nothing seems to work.

Anyone else got this PITA? Any ideas please people?
[Nexus S Android Development] jokinawa:
Do you have SetCPU? If so, make sure SetCPU has 800mhZ in the screen off profile
[Nexus S Android Development] bonstio:
Yes I do... and that does sound like a good possibility so thanks. I'll check it out and report back.

Question though :how on earth did you know / guess / figure this??
[Nexus S Android Development] bonstio:
This seems to have fixed it! Thanks :-D
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
Thanks! Did u notice some real improved speeds using trinity v13? The cm7 is already pretty snappy! And how about battery life?
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
Also, what minimum do you set the setcpu? I set the max to 1300 and screen off to 800, not sure what the min is suppose to be set at. Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] droidmage:
I would leave the min at 100 or maybe move it up to 200 but running it above that will eat thru the battery faster
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
I haven't even tried a kernel yet, does anyone recommend a fast/stable on/settings. Thx
[Nexus S Android Development] AndyCr15:
Others have been saying anything less than 800 causes problems? I'm set to 400 when screen is off and it seems okay though...?
[Nexus S Android Development] JaMaBBo:
You really think so? Looking at some of the features of CM7, it's things I wish I had on the phone to make it that much better.

Anyone else's thoughts if this is a good idea for a first time rooter? So far I have read everything I can and it doesn't seem to bad.

My only question is which is the best root to use. I have read all the stickies with the different roots for win.

Jay
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
Just do it.. just before you flash another ROM, perform a nandroid backup in Clockwork Recovery then flash CM7 then flash gapps. If you want to go back to stock, in ClockWork Recovery (CWM) just nandroid restore back to stock.

It's not that hard.
[Nexus S Android Development] Mr.Kakarot:
I went from a first time root/flash..... then flashed every other day it seemed, just more fun overall, trying new things, roms etc.... I would just do it, I did it to all my phones on the first couple of days of owning them.... and I never really knew what I was doing, lol....

[Nexus S Android Development] voyager_s:
Hello all. Well I flashed the cyanogen rom, and a few surprises.

This is the first time ive ever used cyanogen. I was a little surprised about the lack of most of the Google apps. Also there's no market access.

So anyway, I just wanted to try it out. It seems really fast and smooth overall. But anyway, i went back to my bionix rom. I just really wanna know if i missed few things. I just tried cyanogen briefly. What's up with the market being missing? And also had trouble syncing with Gmail, which was also missing.
[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
You have to flash the Google Apps with the rom. They are separate files.
[Nexus S Android Development] nxt:
Because CyanogenMOD ROMs for Android devices is *THE* most popular ROM, Google sent them a Cease & Desist order because of the Google apps included in the ROMs. Because of that, the ROMs don't include the Google apps, you have to "find" them elsewhere and flash them. Do a Google search and search for gapps-gb.zip
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:

[Nexus S Android Development] shata:
Ya even back in day G1 and mytouch CM rom's you had to flash em separate, nothing new really. And probably why you never liked his rom's cause u never flashed the apps also lol.
[Nexus S Android Development] JaMaBBo:
Just wanted to give a big shout out to everyone for helping out. I have officially unlocked and rooted and flashed a custom rom on my SNS!

I just realized 2 things and wonder if anyone can help. On my lock screen I now have grass, not a fan. Can I change it to something I like?

I also have the blurry mms thing going on and for the life of me I can't remember where I read how to fix it.

I went through this post again all 56 pages and only saw the gapps DL.

Now I'm getting a FC on the phone: Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stop[ed working unexpectedly. Please try again. I FC and it just keeps coming back. HELP!!!

It is almost 5am for me I may have missed something...

I should go to bed. Hope someone can help me on this later. I need my phone.

See you all later and thanks again everyone!

Can anyone share their backup and will that work.

How can restore back the original factory image on my Nexus S.

A quick reply and help will be highly appreciated.

[Nexus S Android Development] jonjon68:
Reflashing can help resolve many issues that can pop up after a ROM flash. It won't hurt. Just backup your apps and settings via a backup utility. I uses Mybackup Pro but most use Titanium.

Might be a good idea to wipe if you did not do that. Data and cache partition, then after the flash go to the advanced menu in recovery and wipe Dalvik cache. I flash gapps before I reboot the phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] yungfresh:
Love the new rom! Along with Trinity 13 this things is blazzing fast! How can I get back the nexus s wallpapers? I mean cm7 is cool but I actually liked a few of the static wallpapers.
[Nexus S Android Development] jonjon68:
There's a zip, I believe in this thread somewhere, that posts the New Market gapps. Works.
