Always asked, use 40 if battery is a huge concern. 28 too I think but search this thread and I'll find everyone's opinion

[Nexus S General] simms22:
yea, but 40 and 28 are sooooooo outdated. oh, btw, just caught your sig :D
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Yes I want recent :)
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
i'm trying that, yesterday i return to stock and and i'm trying don't look at the changelog... it's so hard! =o)
[Nexus S General] etoy:
i made a clean install of #111,restored all my usual apps and it looks like battery lasts much more than previous #102 and older nightlies.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
try the latest nightly with the Trinity11 UV kernel. everyone agrees that battery life is improved with it. here you go http://db.tt/l0OlQWc this one isnt the latest trinity11 UV, but it has the best battery life. flash in recovery.
[Nexus S General] Graham19:
How stable are the nightlies? Are there bad bootloops and reboots?

I'm thinking of flashing one over the weekend.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i wish i had some bootloops and reboots.. at least then it would be fun ;)
[Nexus S General] mak213:
LOL! Indeed it would lol now its like eh my phone isnt acting up i could care less to scoure around for any more roms
[Nexus S General] simms22:
speaking of..

DING DING DING...! come and get it while its still hot!

the very latest in BACONY GOODNESS.. the freshest CM7 kang http://t.co/sg23ezK :D
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Did you do any cherry-picking or is this the same as 113?....
[Nexus S General] simms22:
its the same as a nightly. but as of the other day, there was a "GearheadBread" boot animation added to it. but thats the only thing different. if there is a cherry pick, ill usually let everyone know(there occasionally are cherry picks). btw, its @gearheadcustoms compiling them. he has a nexus one and a G2x, but he makes it for the nexus s for me and for me to share(for you) :D
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Very cool.

I was on CM 6 and 7 on my Evo for a long time, before switching to T-Mobile and grabbing a Nexus S back in April. Been on stock since then but I think I'm ready to dive back into the seedy under-belly of nightly flashing. :)
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
I've wiped and.my.battery is just as crappy on stock as on miui and cm. I've gotten.over it, I'm just buying an extended battery. Not much else to do

[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
105 is the best on battery life with the updated nightlies. I have tested every nightly for at least 2 days for battery. Then I've been going back to 105. :)

OJ and I'm addicted to formatting system everytime because sometimes flashing a kernel will leave stuff on the system partition after just flashing over. :) just formatting system I don't have to reset anything back up. Haven't wiped data since I did a factory reset and locked and unlocked bootloader when 2.3.4 came out.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
Hah its so much easier to say this as my rom. And yea but I haven't been.able to judge battery life as I'm flashing every day. Its sad that its easier to find what's wrong with a rom than what's improved. Its like watching someone age, looking back these are.so much better but I didn't notice everything at every nightly.

Useless for me :) thanks.
[Nexus S General] brrip:
just thanks would have sufficed ;)
[Nexus S General] Leonid99:
In #114 , all the applications FC all the time. Reverted back to #113. Anyone else with this problem?
[Nexus S General] Leonid99:
While at it, for some reason, I'm unable to use voice in gtalk. In stock ROM it works, but not in CM7. (The app also looks much nicer, but I can live without it :) ).
[Nexus S General] simms22:
sounds like a bad download. redownload and try again.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
voice and video are both working here :p
[Nexus S General] Graham19:
Which version of gapps should I flash after nightly #114?
[Nexus S General] Leonid99:
No way, ROM Manager verifies the MD5 checksums after the download. And I see people complaining about the FCs in the ROM Manager comments.

[Nexus S General] hah2110:
Agh I finally got SUPERB battery life on the build from 01222011. I'm scared to upgrade since Android battery life is so darn inconsistent and I don't want to lose my good battery life! Argh!
[Nexus S General] cc92260:
I've been running #15 all day and have horrible battery life with very little use. Just 4 phone calls and 20 mins or so of navigation got me about 8.5 hours of battery life.

Previously I was getting between 11 and 14 hours with moderate use. Running CM nightlies since alpha 1.

(flashing on top clearing dalvik)

I'm contemplating restoring to #10.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nexus S General] schizopunk:
Yeah, I started getting bad battery life as well. Hopefully this will resolve soon.
[Nexus S General] G1_Lucky:
If I am running the Trinity kernel 1.5b can I flash #16?
[Nexus S General] TruLuvNvrDies:
where is this theme from? i tried to track it down and i'm not getting any luck. sorry if this is a stupid question.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I believe its the live wallpaper called wpclock
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
You will have to reflash the trinity kernel after flashing #16.
[Nexus S General] G1_Lucky:
Do I aslo have to flash gapps after I flash #16
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
you dont.. but if problems occur, you'll have to re-flash it

i re-flash it.. takes less than 5 seconds
[Nexus S General] dudeimgeorge:
I can confirm number 15 had horrendous battery life let's see how 16 is
[Nexus S General] G1_Lucky:
Guys I'm running 16 and it seems to run smoothly but what exactly have they changed?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Quoted from OP:

You can check CM Settings -> System -> Changelog.. but I doubt its updated with every little change.
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
Can't download 16. Anyone got a mirror?

Edit: nm found one.
[Nexus S General] keveh:
I had just rooted my phone and went straight to #15 and the battery life is shocking.

I unplugged it about an hour ago and it went straight to 94%. It's been unplugged for just over an hour and it's at 86% and I haven't even used it apart from looking at the battery percentage.

Who has the 1.54 and 1.57 kernel?

Sent from my nexus on a kang from simms
[Nexus S General] BrokenWall:
They are the Trinity Kernels from Morfic, though they may not be stable on your phone.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
yup, morfic. yup, trinity. yup, probably wont be stable on your phone. but, maybe they are. some phones run them without any problems. many phones cant oc that high.

Trinity1.544ghz http://db.tt/nFr0Tc3

Trinity1.44ghz http://db.tt/MC3csGx

if you can run 1.544ghz, ill let you try 1.576 :D

btw, they run great with the nightlies. id even say they are made specifically with them in mind. flash them in recovery over any 2.3.4 nightly. no need to wipe anything. but be warned! they survive by drinking the life juice out of your battery. if you want baytery friendly, theres a Trinity1.1ghz undervolted kernel.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
I always have my phone plugged in lol I doubt they'll be stable but its worth a try. 1.4 doesn't always work but why not. Thanks for the links

youre welcone. im around a charger most of the day, so i use them every once in a while. im usually using the 1.1ghz kernel. let me know..

Does the have any newer commits than 115? Do you know?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Nothing has been committed since nightly 115 was built.
[Nexus S General] stiefa00:
I used build #87 (maybe it was 85) for some time. I updated to build #105 by flashing it from sd.

I got a very bad battery life. Compaired to #8x it's about 35% less.

So I tried every new biuld. Now I'm on 114 and the battery is still baf.

I tried wipe cache and dalvik on #114 but no difference after all.

I use the phone like always. No new apps.

I'm wondering if I made a mistake?

In three weeks I travel to canada. With the current bat life this would be painfull because I will have a nice and cheap data plan...I could use it like here.

Any suggestions? Maybe factory reset or downgrading to #8x..... both sucks -.-
[Nexus S General] malstryx:
You will have a cheap data plan in Canada? Which provider? I think all of them are so expensive in Canada
[Nexus S General] umbrae:
Excuse my noobness, but why are people making kangs? I understand it's an official release by someone who uses CM's builds; I just don't see why and how it is different than the official Nightlies.

Latest Kang: http://goo.gl/TYfhH
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
1. It's fun :)

2. Sometimes there might be an extra bit thrown in by the kanger.

3. Sometimes there are commits made that someone wants to try out but they don't want to wait for the build bot to run tonight.

4. Some people simply always prefer to build their software from source themselves whenever possible (you get absolute certainty that what you see is what you get). So some people build it for themselves and then just share it in case anyone else might want it. If you don't want it, just wait for the build bot :)

[Nexus S General] simms22:
yea, you are right. its just dated wrong, just talked to @gearheadcustoms(compiler/uploader)
[Nexus S General] gotjazz:
ah thanks for that - I'm also still on 8x (88 I believe) because people were complaining about battery life after that. I was just about to ask if it's gotten better lately. btw: I do remember people talking about the fact that turning off the battery percentage display helps improve battery life. Apparently so does flashing the stock launcher. You might wanna try that
[Nexus S General] mapin0518:
I actually wondered the same about these "kangs", thanks for answering his question.

I also wonder if having a separate thread (Kanged CM7 nightlies) would make more sense so this thread deals with the official CM7 nightlies so that troubleshooting bugs doesn't get complicated by people having flashed kangs.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
Don't really troubleshoot nightlies as issues aren't reported

Sent from my nexus on a kang from simms
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I understand that idea, but a build that I make and a build that the buildbot makes will be identical.

EDIT: speaking of.... I think I'll make one now :)
[Nexus S General] mapin0518:
Totally honest question here: If it's identical why bother? I suppose I see the fun in personally compiling it and using my compiled version, but I don't see why anyone but me would be interested in using my compiled version, especially if it's identical (or will be identical to the next nightly just a few hours away).

I thought the description above said a kang may sometimes include a little "something extra" from the builder. In that case, then it's not identical?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
sometime there are commits added to cm source that arent included in cm yet, usually they are just waiting approval by 3 members of the cm team before they get added. the person building the kang can go ahead and add these features if they want. its like getting a preview of certain features before they are actually added to cm7.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Also, 1) if there is a commit that you are particularly interested in, you might not want to wait a few hours, and 2) sometimes the buildbot disappears for days (even weeks!) at a time.

Also here is some fresh bacon:

Can you please tell me why you post when the latest nightly is up? AND the changelog, especially when it has absolutely nothing to do with the Nexus S?
[Nexus S General] deeren:
i think what zadnica is doing is great. posting when there is a nightly and the changelog informs us when there is a new nightly and what has been changed. for eg, just reading the post tells me #117 is up and nothing is for the nexus (time saving and informative!!!)

keep it up @zadnica.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
agreed, as im subscribed to this thread and it saves me from having to go the first page and check changelog
[Nexus S General] steve.garon:
I don't mind when ppl post when latest nightly is up and what the changelog is. Altho, both post for #116 and #117 are wrong since there was no code change... This is a bit annoying...

@Zadnica, when posting that a nightly is up, get your facts strait on the changelog because there is a bug on the web page you are looking at. If there are no commits for a nightly, it prints the latest of the previous nightly. This give a false sense that anything has changed in the nightly when actually nothing did...

My 2 cents...
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
So isn't the problem the release site not him? Can't really help when the official site is wrong.

a few recent picture using the flash in the dark. i think its fine. the first 3 were even photographed in macro mode, close up with the flash.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Nice pics. I think people perceive a flash problem when they take pictures in medium to low light, but not darkness. In a truly dark setting the flash does it's job, but when one takes a photo in low light, the small flash doesn't do much and it can seem like the flash is going off early and in ineffective and not performing properly.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
na, even in low light my camera flash is golden. this pic from this evening btw. i do notice that there are actually 2 flashes. a slightly dimmer pre flash, then a brighter flash that is used to take the picture. those having issues, try clearing the camera apps data. main settings, applications, manage applications, all, camera, clear data.

[Nexus S General] Po0yAn:
so still no better battery life after #88, right? i tried nightlys till #109, there is great improvement in speed because of memory read and right improvements, but the battery life is a bummer compared to #88.though i think when the phone is awake and screen is on , there's no difference in battery consumption between #88 and recent builds.

I'm still undecided which one I want most!speed or battery life... :-( I also missed trying nightlys!

[Nexus S General] generalagony:
May be a stupid question but is there any reason the build.prop mod in the radio thread is not being implimented into roms? Is build.prop just a radio file? I have seen huge improvements by making this tweak and I recommend everyone go give it a shot.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i add this to my tmobile nexus s build.prop after ever rom flash, and my download speed nearly doubles..

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=1O

the 2 and the 10 will vary in every location. you can use a 1 instead of 2 in ro.ril.hsxpa=2 and you can use a 12 instead of a 10 in ro.ril.gprsclass=1O. different combos work best in different locations.
[Nexus S General] damngood98:
do you just do those 2? only asking because the radio guide gets a little more in depth
