Great battery life. Only 4% consumption during 7 hours of sleep!

Other ROMs eated 15%, with no differences in installed apps.:)

Haven't tested other kernels on this ROM though.

A bit afraid to break the perfect balance I have now.

[Nexus S Android Development] ravidavi:
This has been reported many, many times ... read around. It's a consequence of 2.3.3, not MoDaCo.

GPS fix problem

I have a GPS fix problem:

I'm having issues ever since the 2.3.3 update with custom kernels and GPS fix times.

With stock GRI40 2.3.3 GPS works fine

With GRI40 and other kernels i tried and also with the r13 GRI54 the GPS fix takes 2-3 minutes every time, even when i have a fix, close and restart GPS app it takes long time to get fix back.

Its like its doing hard fix every time, even when going through tunnel loosing the fix for a few seconds takes 2-3 minutes, usually after tunnel it takes few seconds to get fix back.

Anyone else noticed this?

Swype installer is crashing on me on r13. :( Otherwise no problems. Great rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] rubino90:
Sorry Paul i have One problem My battery Life drain very faster drop down in 8 hour 50% is normal? Before i have the stock rom andrea when flash your rom i wipe data and wipe cache andrea flash the rom it's necessary wipe battery stats? Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] jlevy73:
You can wipe battery stats but it won't help battery life. Try this. Drain your phone until it completely dies. While keeping the phone off, recharge the battery until full. Turn your phone on, delete battery stats and monitor battery life
[Nexus S Android Development] FaithCry:
this also really depends on your settings and your usage... for some people this is considered pretty good! :P

Cant Add Facebook account

Anyone Having trouble adding facebook account under Accounts & Sync (in settings)?

I've installed the rom after wiping everything and, although facebook apps work,

I cannot add facebook account to my account and sync my contacts from facebook.

when I try to add it just ignores my request and return to account page.

this is very important to me!

Thanks,

Guy.
[Nexus S Android Development] AndyCr15:
I think you should have checked what 2.3.3 brings then, as one thing it brings is the removal of Facebook sync.
[Nexus S Android Development] guys234:
Thanks for the reply.

I've now read Google reason for doing it, and although it seems reasonable,

still, It kinda defeats the purpose of being an open platform such as android.

But that's not the issue of this thread, so I won't develop this issue further.

For now, the Rom seems to work great.

Thanks Paul for great Work.
[Nexus S Android Development] rubino90:
i use 2g at all time no background 60-70 sms 3-4 calls 1 hour in wifi is not normal no?
[Nexus S Android Development] heinrich:
Battery life is significantly reduced since I went from 2.3.2 to Paul's 2.3.2. The difference probably lies in that I am now 100% SIP. But I still get 12 hours with moderate use.

What does seem interesting, is that battery stats shows display, not radio or cell standby, as the major battery consumer.
[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Yeah, SIP is a battery sucker alright!

[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
By popular request, i've added a prebake with the 'old colour temperature' option selected (i.e. 'bright').

Paul, when I flash r13, all goes well except google auto restore does not restore my apps. However, r11 does not exhibit this behaviour.
[Nexus S Android Development] sucon:

[Nexus S Android Development] mrmarshall428:
When you say old color temperature, do you mean pre 2.3.3?
[Nexus S Android Development] h46it:
So far so good!

Thanks Paul!
[Nexus S Android Development] shah_jee:
I had the R11 version and ran without any issues. After flashing r13, My back button is unresponsive on many occasions.

Any one else had same problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] stavros86:
Just a report MoDaCo rom R13 runs great with netarchy 1.2.7 oc @ 1.3 Ghz( at 1.4Ghz phone freezes) but it runs even smoother with honity14 @ 1.4Ghz rock stable
[Nexus S Android Development] janjan:
CFS BUILDS OR BFS BUILDS . which one you use? and what about 1.2.5?
[Nexus S Android Development] stavros86:
I used 1.2.7 cfs,when i tried with 1.2.5 bfs phone was not booting
[Nexus S Android Development] janjan:
okay thanks . And you didn't tried 1.2.5 cfs?
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
With Honity? Thats a CM7 kernel. Did it boot with that, and did it really run with out issues?
[Nexus S Android Development] stavros86:
nope i didnt try 1.2.5 cfs i saw on the changelog it had some voodoo updates on 1.2.7 so i tried that

yes i tried with honity 14(a made a nandroid backup and had fingers crossed!) it boots quite fast and im running it 1.4ghz perfectly and faster than netarchy.Tried fpse games and its blazing fast and the menus and everything is overall faster and super smouth.I have tried lots of apps and games and everything works quicker and the phone more responsive no restarts or freezes at all:D
[Nexus S Android Development] alexis_p3300:
I really like performance of honity1.4 with r13 but ext4 looks broken.. anyone noticed?
[Nexus S Android Development] janjan:
Yes its broken

Hi Paul!

Thanks for your work!

I've read that other people have the VPN issue as well. When I try to connect (settings are definitely right), it immediately tells me that the VPN Server hung up.

Using the VPN a lot to be able to make voip calls on 3G, since thats the only way to trick the carrier.

Thanks a lot!

[Nexus S Android Development] paulobrien:
Hmm, strange, I have a VPN I can test with so i'll check it out.

[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:
hi,

how can i remove the netarchy kernel from this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] quattro_rs:
was it the kernel for stock rom or CM7 Compatible
[Nexus S Android Development] kfjunky:
I believe you flashed the Netarchy kernel after you flashed Modaco?

In that case, simply re-flash Modaco from recovery, after wiping cash and Dalvik cash.

Should nandroid just in case too.
[Nexus S Android Development] philbs17:
Hi Paul,

I found out that the display doesn't have a timeout and stays on as long as the phone's getting charged, unless you turn it off with the standby switch. A bug or a feature?

Thanks for your work!

Phil
[Nexus S Android Development] Ferdimage:
not sure if this is included on the rom % battery display?
[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:
ok, thanks..

in my clockworkmod recovery(3.0.0.5) i can't find the option for wipe dalvik cash.

i see only "wipe cache partition"!

it's the same?

Select Advanced in the main menu of recovery and it's there....

Anyone know what would cause Bluetooth to connect but not pair? This is the only rom I have a problem with when it comes to that.

[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I read somewhere that it is 2.3.3 based, so not just this rom. I also get it occasionally on cm7.

[Nexus S Android Development] giodesi1965:
all the time when I used the r13 (always 233) I've never had this problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I dunno then, it only appears sometimes for me, so maybe you never 'triggered' it with r13 or something? It doesn't really bother me though, so I don't notice it too much.
[Nexus S Android Development] giodesi1965:
No always same config and same software..
[Nexus S Android Development] giodesi1965:
with R14 the video is in 3gp.... but with other rom is in m4v (mp4 file)

I have one visual/ problem with my drawer ... I have blurred upper and down icons like in the picture. Any chance to change that ?
[Nexus S Android Development] Vulpix:
That's a problem? I was pretty sure it was supposed looked like that.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kalimdor:
From other topic and user ... i belive to have that before (pics are cleaner and subs are readable)
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I'm running CM7 (same as picture) and my drawer looks blurry like your original one. Nothing wrong with it as far as I know, never even noticed it until now. That said, I'm sure it could be changed somehow.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
The blurry upper and lower part of the drawer was included on the 2.3.3 update.
[Nexus S Android Development] Kishtsang:
I got this problem too when I was running Modaco. I thought it was a little strange. It only shows up when running apps that need data connection. I'm now running Gingercollab 1.09 and I don't have this problem anymore.
[Nexus S Android Development] alexis_p3300:
delete pls
[Nexus S Android Development] generalagony:
Any chance that the Facebook sync that still works on cm7 will be implemented in modaco?
[Nexus S Android Development] MohamadKarbi:
Because of the Arabic language support, I'm stick to this rom (my current rom) and cm7 rc2. I want to try cm7 rc2 but I'm hesitated as I cound understand this is more stable for daily use. Could you plz advise me here?
[Nexus S Android Development] .cruiser:
I've been on this ROM ever since r13 was released and can vouch for the fact that it is very stable for daily use indeed. I am not much of a data user, and I go for 3-4 days without a battery recharge with this.

9023 LCD issue

good day guys

I found one workaround

for LCD screen turn off and non re-wake, issue. on i9023

first install MoDaCo Custom ROM from Paul

and after instal morfic kernel

from here:

I hope it's could help I dont know how about work together

Thanks for the info!

It's working fine on my i9023 too.
[Nexus S Android Development] JackTheGreat:
Same here. Working just fine

Must be the kernal then
[Nexus S Android Development] schizopunk:
The only thing keeping me from switching to this ROM vs. CM7 is the lack of Facebook sync support. Could we get this feature in an update?
[Nexus S Android Development] schizopunk:
My question exactly. I miss that feature so much!
[Nexus S Android Development] gadgetgaz:
One problem is that the option to reboot from the longpress power button menu does not reboot the phone and the dialog box will not disappear so it blocks any user input. The only choice then is to pull the battery. All of the other options work OK and the reboot app works fine too. I have a i9020 amoled phone.

Does anyone else see this?

This is my favourite ROM because of the excellent battery life. All the other ROMs I've tried always have wake locks and waste battery rapidly so thanks very much, Paul.
[Nexus S Android Development] intothevoid:
Check the allow unknown sources check box in settings> Applications. That should solve the problem. Have no issues with it on my phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] gadgetgaz:
Thanks @intothevoid but that made no difference and I don't understand why it would. The reboot app works fine when invoked from the apps list - just not from the extended power menu.
[Nexus S Android Development] kiwi45:
The only thing I'm missing in this rom is bln notifications. Any plans to integrate it?

Sad, but seems to be we've been abandoned..:(

Waiting for 2.3.4 updates!
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Yeah, Paul stated in the OP he cant maintain each ROM for too long, he swaps devices so often! Jealous actually ;)

I don't think it's very likely to get a 2.3.4 version unfortunately.

Yepp! So that makes you my only hope.

Many new roms coming up, but all have their pros and cons.

Though of course school should be prioritized above everything, good luck!

Sorry, totally off topic..:)

My build number is : "MoDaCo Custom ROM r5 for the Samsung Nexus S (GRH78)" the shop flashed it for Hebrew support

I didn't understand if I have to wipe or not? (If yes than what kind of wipe to do ?)

EDIT: Does the kernel have custom colour schemes (because I heard the colours on stock 2.3.3 are awful)
[Nexus S Android Development] pinoy929:
MoDaCo's ROM is the best thing that happened to the Nexus S, imo. I tried 3 other ROMs, and they all had some sort of issue (battery life, random reset, poor connection).

I'm dying for the 2.3.4 upgrade!
[Nexus S Android Development] madfarmer:
Please paul.. I really dont feel like wiping.. Does anyone know a rom i can install without wiping ?
[Nexus S Android Development] pinoy929:
\

It's best to wipe. You dont want floating files that can screw up performance.
[Nexus S Android Development] MohamadKarbi:
I tried many 2.3.4 ROMs just because of vedio support at google talk. However, I found this ROM is best. Maybe because of Arabic, I haven't got a chance to try some good ones. Anyway I'm here again and back to stability. I'm using skype for vedio chat till google issues the the formal Arabic support. I'm also using FOTAkill.apk to stop the software autoupdate...

[Nexus S Android Development] stavros86:
Thank you paul for the upgraded rom!
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
There is no Nexus S (GSM only) 2.3.5 OTA update available yet, which all Modaco roms are based on. There is aosp 2.3.5 source however which is what many roms use instead. I'm sure once there is an official 2.3.5 ota it will be updated, until then 2.3.4 is the latest official one.

[Nexus S Android Development] Xandlinger:
Flashed it over my R1, no issues so far!

And wiping your data/cache shouldn't delete anything on your SD card, otherwise you are doing something wrong.

[Nexus S Android Development] brian6685:
I don't see the h, just 3g for me. It doesn't matter, just saying :)
[Nexus S Android Development] ankitb4u:
Yeah the H seems to be a bit flaky. I think it only comes up when data is being transmitted, I also remember reading it. But, like you said it should not matter. It is fast and durable and everything one should ask for.

Foe now I came back to stock no real reason to root and have a custom rom just yet besides the fact that I can brag about it.

And really brag about the fact that I can follow the guide lol. Where as these people are actually doing the work. So thanks again to them.

On a second note they are really close to a gingerbread rom on galaxy s if it works out. I might just return this not worth dropping 600 bucks.
[Nexus S Android Development] Z51:
I get the H icon almost everywhere im @ :D
[Nexus S Android Development] TheBiles:

Likewise, H is displayed whenever I'm connected to HSPA. (With T-Mobile UK).

Many thanks for the ROM!
[Nexus S Android Development] kyacrash:
rom installed and works great. one issue I've noticed since flashing though, some apps are not available in the market. I'm in the US, so location shouldn't be an issue. Some examples are clockr evolution (regular clockr is available), Mabilo ringtones and Homerun Battle 3D (not the free version).

does this have anything to do with this rom? or the new market? or is it tmobile?
[Nexus S Android Development] sudoash:
I'm thinking this is an issue with 2.3.1 more than anything as it has been raised on the stock ROM here.
[Nexus S Android Development] kyacrash:
thanks, I was worried it was just me!
[Nexus S Android Development] dinan:
Just flashed this rom, feels nice and snappy. 2342 quadrant score (when it decides to finish, but the textures don't load and the FPS seems lower than usual for the 3D tests).

Been using your roms for a long time on my N1, glad to see you cooking for the NS =)
[Nexus S Android Development] petep86:

[Nexus S Android Development] ikon8:
Here's how to get your apps back in the market if you don't want to wait for the apps dev to update it for 2.3.1:

-Plug in phone to USB

adb remount

adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

-Edit the build.prop file with a text editor and comment out the fingerprint and add the following new line so it looks like this:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3/GRH55/79397:user/release-keys
#ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.1/GRH78/85442:user/release-keys

-Save the file and push the updated build.prop back to your phone

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

-Reboot phone and now all your apps will show up in the market again

This changes the fingerprint the Market uses to identify your phone so it knows which apps to show you.
