Hello!

I flashed CyanogenMod 7 ROM successfully.

But only one problem I cannot install apps from android browser and there is no Market app with this ROM.

Actually what happens in when I try to install any app from android market place using browser it says your app will be installed shortly but nothing happens even after waiting long time.

Also the google apps mod provided in the first post is not working and I am unable to setup sync it asks for exchange account & server settings rather than google account as in stock rom. I am not sure how to setup google account using this ROM?

Thank you!
[Nexus S General] saryu:
guys..

i try to flash with cyanogen mod 7.

i think i succeed, but now it hasn't finish its first boot (already 30-40 minute since i reboot), keeps displaying cyanogen mod 7 animation over and over again..

is this normal ? about how long is it until i can enter my phone ? saw some guide says it took around 10-20 minute, but this is already doubled the time >"<..

thanks..
[Nexus S General] floomat:
i've got a really bad reboot issue...

i was calling and was not able to activate the screen while the call was active.

then i pressed the power button 2-3 times (i thought maybe screen off-issue)

and then it just reboots and got really hot..

i'm running cm7-#35 with netarchy 1.2.3 CFS, phone was on AC-Loading while calling.

will this happen again? does this happened to someone else?
[Nexus S General] ViLANDER:
Friday I'm in love. Flashing #35 now. :)

That's not normal. Try to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery. Then reflash the .zip file.
[Nexus S General] saryu:
and how exactly to do that ? it's still repeating the animation over and over again, i can't press anything =.=... is removing the battery okay ?im afraid i will damage my nexus s even further
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
its okay to pull the battery, everyone does it, everyone gets bootloops once in a while
[Nexus S General] saryu:
okay, now i wipe the data and cache partition and dalvik cache. what next ? re-install zip from sdcard ? or i just reboot ?
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
Reboot, if that not do the trick :

Clear cache

Clear davik

Install rom again

Fix permission under advanced.

Is this the first time you installed the rom? If so, did you do a factory reset before you installed the rom?
[Nexus S General] tmhung:
waiting for 2.3.3 update from Cyanogen ^^ , #35 work so good with me . Battery more better than build <35 ^^
[Nexus S General] mrRobinson:
i can't download 35, link seems to have some error. anyone have a mirror?
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
You need to do a full wipe/factory reset and reflash CM7 and gapps. That's really the only thing you can do. Especially if this is the first time you have flashed CM7
[Nexus S General] saryu:
yay. i'm now ready to ride CM7 nightly. thanks for all lovely users answering my question :).
[Nexus S General] Lootes:
What exactly does fixing permissions do?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
on 35 this morning my phone went into a bootloop shortly after picking it up. going back to 30....
[Nexus S General] floomat:
newest nightly broken the camera app. fc instantly when trying to start. someone else same issue? maybe someone know how to fix this :-)
[Nexus S General] Gilg@mesh:
no problem here, try clear cache and dalvik cache then install the ROM again.
[Nexus S General] :
hmmm no reboots and no camera issues here
[Nexus S General] kid1da:
Has anyone had browser issues? I moved flash to the USB but I surf a few sites and then the browser just hangs.
[Nexus S General] floomat:
Mh tried wiping dalvic and deleted cache of camera app. didn't helped. I'll wait till next nightly maybe it'll work again on it. :-) thanks anyway
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
it's possible I have an app that is causing it, I suspect a honeycomb clock I am running...also a "cure all" is to do a factory reset (complete wipe)--if it is not the clock. The reboots happened when I was in airplane mode with the wifi on...hmmm

just putting it out there
[Nexus S General] ViLANDER:
Meh! The playlists are still disappearing in build #35. That's really annoying.
[Nexus S General] shields398:
would you say build 30 is the most stable you've tried? 33 n 35 seem to lag on homescreens

cheers
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Odd, well you can always just nandroid to your last "stable version" and try flashing 35 over that. I'm only flashing even number builds, seems like all the odd ones have issues :p
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I had a bunch of problems when I updated to 35, did a wipe/ reinstall, nothing helped. I went back to my 34 nandroid.

Quick question, with a factory data reset will that erase the SD partition? I back up all my important stuff to dropbox anyways, I was just curious if that was wiped also since technically it is not an external disk.

Probably going to skip tonight's nightly since it's the wife's bday today, but when I do update again, I am thinking of doing a full factory reset to fix the couple bugs I have.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
yes i feel 30 has been the best thus far

the only nandroid I have is my original stock build. anything else is a waste of time and space.

why nandroid back to 30 if I can just flash it???

if I lose data...I have the "google" back up my data checked. so if I do a complete wipe, once I log in, google starts downloading my apps from the market. the only thing I will loose is apps that I have installed from "outside sources" and they are saved on my sd card anyways.

nandroid takes up huge spaces and is too slow imo;)
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
When Google backs up everything does it save all you app settings (log ins, info entered, etc), does it also back up things like SMS, call log, etc?
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
I dont think so, not the app data. You need an app like titanium backup.
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I currently use Titanium Backup Premium for apps and data, MyBackup Pro for SMS, call log, etc. Then I also make a nandroid everytime I update just incase. I only keep a couple nandroids and delete the rest though
[Nexus S General] Red Fox:
I'm with ya on that. Current build 35, has a mind of its own! Reboots + started to vibrate uncontolably for no reason. Battery pulled, crazy ROM.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
My 35 is fine, I actualy got a boot loop with 34 and made the jump to 35. So far, so good...
[Nexus S General] sheek360:
whats everyones thoughts on the stock cm7 kernel vs the bionix? im running the bionix kernel and it seems a hair slower @ 1.2ghz vs the cm7 kernel @ stock speed (cant overclock the stock cm7 kernel from what i understand.)
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
So will 36 have 2.3.3?
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
Why does it take forever to charge? And why can't my phone hit 100%? It was weird.

I left my phone charging, it took forever to hit 100% and then I check it a few minutes later and it's at 98%? Then it didn't want to go higher than 98%

My battery life hasn't been so great, compared to my old Nexus One.

I guess I'll mess with different kernels and setcpu profiles.
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
this has been discussed many times in the general and q&a section. try using the "SEARCH" button.
[Nexus S General] rb9228:
#35 has been solid for me today. Even with Trinity Vmax v1.2, I didn't experience any reboots and/or FCs (although I can only squeeze out 1400 MHz without it getting all squirrelly)
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
I have had boot loops on 35
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
anyone else having problems with not being able to change your background? its stuck on the honeybread default background for me.
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
I'm getting some random fc vibration. Weird.

Sent from CM7 Nexus S
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
Thanks for the info!:rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] rb9228:
No issues here. I'm able to change my background without any problems.
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
damn this is annoying. getting a force close on com.android.phone every single time i reboot. I have done 5 factory wipes in the past day. this is ridiculous. may have to go back to stock and wait for RC
[Nexus S General] mak213:
...This is nightly builds...not beta not release canidate not final to be exact its actually still alpha...just nightly updated you will have problems if its annoying then dont be a "alpha tester"
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
Exactly, I expect some bugs and deal with it to have the cutting edge ROM and all the features.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I'm not sure why it takes so long but to get full charge from 0% takes me about 3-4 hours.

Once the phone is fully charged it cycles between 4.176 volts (which is max) and something less than that (I forgot the number but Roger Podactor discusses this in one of the threads in the NS General Section). If you look at your volts with the phone plugged in it will read less than 4.176V. Once you disconnect the charge, voltage will be close to 4.176v even though the battery will say 95-98%. It's some type of built in fail safe.

Battery life of course is dependent on many variable. personally speaking, battery life with NS is about 10-20% better than it was with the N1
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
Thanks! That answered all of my questions!

If I used a different charger, would it maybe speed up the charging process? Or would it not make a difference because of the phone?
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I could be wrong but I think its more the battery than the charger. Perhaps when Seido releases their NS batteries it might speed up the charge but it's hard to say until we get feedback on them.
[Nexus S General] timcity:
anyone else not getting the screen off animation even with it toggled on?
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
36 UP......
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
I'm on it.
[Nexus S General] tmhung:
Build 36 downloading ...

....
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
so far seems very snappy/smooth even more so than previous builds

still 2.3.2 for anybody wondering
[Nexus S General] Araf:
Build #36 is just pop up...
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
Perfect timing. Thought I was going to skip tonight's update with it being the wife's bday today, but right when she got a call from her sister I got my alert that it was ready to be downloaded.

Installing now... hopefully I don't have as many problems as on build 35. If so I'll just go back to 34 again :)
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
Flashing Build 36 now.
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Hopefully less problems than 35.

Sent from CM7 Nexus S
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Does 36 have any commits?
[Nexus S General] serialtoon:
Is there a reason why Cyanogen decided to use ADW versus the stock launcher? Not a fan of ADW. I have Launcher Pro Plus but i hate how sluggish the drawer opening is.
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
So far build 36 seems to be working great for me. Still can't send email from the gmail app though
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
36 is running great so far.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Ive always wondered this. Roms is so smooth but IMO adw ruins the experiences not smooth at all... i uninstall it.

I also use launcher pro if you have 3d drawer set turn it off much smoother
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Stock launcher is limited in functionality so the goal was to bring the end user a more robust home screen experience. ADW is also open source so the one included in CM is a little different than the market version. In LPP have you adjusted the opening screen speed in settings? I use ADW Ex but never had any issues with the speed of LPP
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I use ADW Ex and its quite buttery. The good thing about Android is there are a vast selection of home screen replacements to choose from.
[Nexus S General] serialtoon:
I have changed all the speed settings in LPP but in the end they are sluggish. For me, ADW is the same way where the app drawer is annoyingly sluggish. The stock Gingerbread launcher is smooth as can be and on top of that, i love the animation of the 3D drawer. LPP has this feature but it is beyond broken ever since he re-wrote the application.
[Nexus S General] sufibravo:
+1 for ADW Launcher EX, tons of customization options and most of them are smooth!
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
I hope I don't get the same mysterious reboot loop in 36. 35 was kind of random, never happened in 34.
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Two Words. Open Source.
[Nexus S General] Araf:
+1
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
I find that the stock launcher seems to be a big sluggish, choppy frame-rate, but the app drawer from the stock launcher is gloriously smooth. :D

my personal vote goes to zeam, clean, fast, smooth, hardly ever FC's on me.
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
Added a new theme: Onyx.

Will be great for the battery life :).
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
Loving it!!!!
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Is there any widget like LPP's friend widget? Colorize is nice, but I want to see both FB/Twitter updates in one window, and Pure Messenger is ugly no matter how I try to skin it.
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
36 does feel a bit "snappier". Prepare the sd card allot faster when booted up.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Onyx looks really nice. I'm currently stuck on Honeybread but I have yours loaded up on the sd card as my next theme to try. thanks.
[Nexus S General] G1_Lucky:
Theme Time!

Guys I'm looking for 1 or 2 GOOD graphic designers for a HUGE android theme for the Nexus S! If interested send me a PM

Lets do it! :)
[Nexus S General] sheek360:
Im on 36 and its not an option in the themes section. Can't search via market because its still broken. Where can I her your theme?

Anyone know of any hood build.prop mods for the ns?
[Nexus S General] G1_Lucky:
I believe you have to download it and then flash it, I think? lol
[Nexus S General] aam6906:
the link is in his signature
[Nexus S General] aam6906:
hey anyone else have the problem that if you turn nfc off and try to turn it back on it wont let you and says an error has occured? just remembered its been happening for the last few builds now
[Nexus S General] gundamboy:
I just flashed update 37 and no signal on my provider.
[Nexus S General] dudekiller:
is there a way to add the circle battery to my phone... perhaps a zip that universal if such a thing exist
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Thanks for the tip on Zeam, might be the quickest launcher. Only complaint is I can't reduce the number of scrollable docks. Still probably a replacement for LPP for awhile.
[Nexus S General] floomat:
camera is still broken on 36 for me. someone knows how to fix without full wipe? hope so :D it just instantly fc when I try to start it. I tried wiping dalvic and cache. didn't help :-(
[Nexus S General] :
theme looks pimp

hmmm my camera still works, sounds like you might need a full wipe :(
[Nexus S General] Marcski:
full wipe might be your only option, 36 works great here, incl camera

also on netarchy 1.2.3 @1,3Ghz by the way
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
Just reboot it happens.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
anyone else have major battery drop. Woke up this morning to take phone out of standby but realized battery was dead:confused:

Could have also been on bootloop thing during night idk

i had this..had to reboot to fix
[Nexus S General] simms22:
clear the data/cache in main phone settings, applications, manage applications, all, camera... :)
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
I haven't had good battery life since I got this phone :(
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
odd... the other day i got 5 hours of screen time at 40% bright, 1d 13h of battery. :D
[Nexus S General] floomat:
nothing left to clear there :D but don't work either...
[Nexus S General] thejron:
Anyone having screen timeout problems? Mine won't time out and when I hit the power button to shut it off it comes right back on about 2 seconds later. :confused:
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I'm not having that problem, but I am having reboot problems now. And every time my phone reboots all of my widgets are removed from WidgetLocker...
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Same, but the Widgets on adw ex get messed up
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I'm glad LauncherPro + widgets don't get messed up. I only have 2 widgets on WidgetLocker, but I have several more on my home screens
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
Try this if you haven't yet.

Charge phone to full

While plugged in boot into recovery

Clear battery stats

Reboot

Then unplug and drain

Has also a crappy battery, until i did this. Better than before at least.
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
What??

What kernel are you running? What are your settings in setcpu?

I'll try that!
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Try draining your battery until your phone dies. While the phone is off, plug the charger in and charge until it's 100%. Turn phone go into recovery and clear battery stats. That should help.
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
Did you guys notice a difference in the battery life after doing that? As in it reporting a slightly slower drain?
[Nexus S General] Mr.Kakarot:
I would do a full wipe... I been running every nightly since 19, and I never had any camera, gmail, issues etc.... I did have a small wifi/2g service issue with 2 roms, but overall... they are all pretty fast and smooth for me.

Did you fix permissions with rom manager?
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
I'm going to try that today, thanks man!
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
No such thing on a smart phone with the screen and CPU's these things have these days. I've had a G1, Nexus One, several Samsung Galaxy S variations. Now the NS. G1 had the best battery life by far, though the strength of the battery was the same or close. difference? Screen, CPU.

I've heard people say they get this or that after conditioning their battery. 1 day with moderate use? Not what I consider moderate use.

I've cycled, conditioned and everything else with all my phones. It helps, but I've never gone an entire day since the Nexus One. Never. I would consider my usage heavy. I'm usually plugged in by lunch.

So conditioning as described here has value, it isn't going to be huge unless you're battery has been conditioned on the other end. Meaning you've been charging well before 50% is gone, never letting the battery either drain completely, or charge fully.

That's about all you can do though until the battery tech catches up with the hardware. Right now, it's an enormous disparity. The batteries are a couple of years behind if not more.
[Nexus S General] bratfink:
Battery life is getting quite bad on the latest nightlies. Youl see what i mean if you switch over to something like modaco's. The older nightlies were much better though...
[Nexus S General] ajftl:
lol ..****..thanks
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Yeah, quit the download and start again. Sometimes I get awful dl connection and quitting and starting again does the trick
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i do the same
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Build 8 is cherry.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Good intel, thanks.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
Reboots still...

I can't find the f#cken app that's causing it.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Morfic posted a kernel a little bit ago that works with CM7. It's his 1.4ghz kernel. Good news is that everything works, BT included (except its having some issues with root access). The bad news is you have to do a full wipe to get it to work.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Sweet. Are the root issues bad? What are we dealing with here? I'll try it out myself in the morning.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
The normal stuff like root explorer, titanium, adfree. Most resolve itself by uninstalling or clearing data but scripter, gscript and adfree aren't working at all.

It's really not that big of an issue

UPDATE: Spoke to soon, my phone rebooted and is now in a bootloop. Nandroiding back
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i can confirm the kernel is working with the latest xm7 nightly. no wipe! i did wipe dalvik though. reflashed the rom and gapps, then flashed the kernel.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
this is with cm7 nightly #8 and the latest trinity14b cm7 kernel...

Is the Torch still an issue?
[Nexus S General] ph0rce:
I picked up a Nexus S a couple of days ago after having had a Desire for the past six months & immediately unlocked & rooted it but left the official ROM on there. I had CM7 on my Desire since it was released & am about to flash it onto my S but I've got a couple of quick questions first, if anyone can help me out;

-I'll get the stupid one out of the way first, the Desire didn't have a forward facing camera but the S does, I assume that when I flash CM7 it will keep the option to take photos / videos using the front & back cameras?

-When I wipe the phone before I flash, will it wipe the USB storage too, I know the Desire didn't but that was because the USB was actually a micro SD but the S has this onboard?

-Are there any current Nexus S features which are not yet implemented in CM7?

Thanks! :)
[Nexus S General] td0s:
I'm not having fun with nightly #8 and MOrfics kernel 14b - I am stuck at the bootloader (atomic bomb) screen
[Nexus S General] dingdonghei:
When I flashed 7 I got gallery fcs so I installed gallery 3d from market. when I installed 8 today, native gallery was missing, and the one I installed from the market wad acting up. I couldn't uninstall it, so I removed it with root explorer. Now I need three native apk I think. Anyone who would care to extract it?
[Nexus S General] Alexkidd85:
Me too!! What are the right step to do?

Thanks

Edit:

@Simms22

You is driving me crazy! :D What is the "trinity CM7 kernel?

Where did you get? In his thread does not exist. Only the regular version. the 1.4b.

How did you complete the quadrant in 3d??????????????
[Nexus S General] drewstiff:
WhatwhatWHAAAAT? Ever since lockscreen controls were added (CM6 or was it earlier?) I have disabled them because I use Spotify and incorrectly assumed they were just for the default Music app!

No need for the Spotify widget anymore then :o)
[Nexus S General] dingdonghei:
I know. And that's a blessing. It's really ugly.. :)
[Nexus S General] deeren:
the kernel is not in his first page. this is the new kernel everybody is talking about:

[Nexus S General] hah2110:
Is there a feature list of what exists in the latest CM7 nightly? What about bugs. If coming from a fresh wipe, are there any bugs? How is battery life?
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
You make some damn good points. I have to agree. I consider myself moderate to heavy and I get no where near some peoples ridiculous claims of multiple hours of web surfing and etc with tons of battery still left over. If i use my phone, I can see the battery drain 1% in about 2-3 mins
[Nexus S General] Araf:
+1

I am a heavy user with this phone and I agree with you, especially when you mentioned batt tech is couple of years behind the software and handset.
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
I agree that battery technology needs to catch up. I used blackberries before and they actually had excellent battery life.

Then I got my nexus one and battery life decreased, but it wasn't too bad. I usually got about 17 or 18 hours before I hit 15% sometimes I would get 24 hours with average use. With heavy usage I would get maybe 15 or 16 hours.

With my nexus s it has decreased quite a bit. It's not horrible but on average I'm getting around 12 hours. I think it's getting better though.

People can't expect great battery life out of smart phones yet though. Hopefully soon we'll have phones that can last 2 days with heavy usage. Haha.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Yes someone needs to introduce dual core batteries :) The screen on this phone, like most, is probably the number one offender of battery use, next to the radio. There are setting in CM that allow you to optimize or better said help optimize it.

If it makes you feel better, my typical day includes 2-3 hours of phone calls, K-9 always on, GPS + BT always on, 30+ minutes of gaming and if I can make it 8-9 hours it's a miracle.
[Nexus S General] FaithCry:
OG's kernel for CM7, dont use set CPU, no secrets here. :P
