yeap i agree with that...i used to have a crappy battery with my captivate (or at least i was thinking that)...starting the day at 6 am and always at lunch time i had to charge it...then moved on to nexus s and the same thing is happening no matter what rom i have...the only difference is now the captivate is going through a day and a half with no problems...beeing with my wife...lol...so it all depends on how much ur using ur phone...there is no moderate user with more than 6-8 hours batt...if there is one, thats a light user :p
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I've tried almost all the kernels out there and morfics will get you higher clock speeds and slightly higher benchmarks scores at any speed while netarchys will give you better battery life at any clock speed. That isn't to say however that battery life is terrible on Trinity or that performance is lacking on netarchy. To the contrary. They are two of the best kernels I've used on any device ever. Having to choose between mind blowing performance and amazing battery life or amazing performance and mind blowing battery life is one of the greatest moments of indecision in my life :)

[Nexus S General] floomat:
build 37 failed? :'(
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
yeah, I was sad :(
[Nexus S General] syncro:
Actually the screen drink a lot of battery juice... it is possible to change its sensitivity? (like the older versions of Android)
[Nexus S General] simms22:
if you guys want something to flash, heres a kanged nightly uploaded 3 hours ago http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2769033/update-cm-7.0.0NS-KANG-2-12-signed.zip

thanks @gearheadcustoms on twitter :D
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Still can't figure out how to transfer that file to the public folder. Too complicated for Murph :eek:
[Nexus S General] simms22:
dropbox through the browser, standard view, select folder, select file, press COPY, select folder. optional select rename after its moved :p
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Official Build failed...

37's death makes me a saaaddd panda
[Nexus S General] simms22:
adorable :)
[Nexus S General] sheek360:
Cmon lucky 38!
[Nexus S General] KnightMAREcrow:
Quick question to all, would deleting Dev Tools and/or Spare Parts be detrimental to the system running correctly. I never use or play with either and would like to keep the launcher free of clutter without any third party applications to hide them.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
you should be alright.

i used to delete apps too. but after reflashing every night, i got tired of deleting those apps over and over ;)
[Nexus S General] KnightMAREcrow:
Thanks simms, you have a point though about not wanting to keep deleting over and over again :(
[Nexus S General] sheek360:
Flashing it now. Hopefully its commits are newer than build 36
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
build 37 failure causes panda to go into rage mode
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Yep it includes everything up until the new kernel commits, although none of those have anything to do with the NS.
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
Allot of new commits... maybe that is why it failed. Saw some BCQ scheduler stuff. Who or how do they decided which scheduler to use.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I always hate sounding stupid but my curiosity is getting the better of me; what is a kernel commit?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
in simple terms,

a commit in general is any change that is making it into the final product..
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
I hate you. Now, I'm downloading it. This is not good for my addiction.
[Nexus S General] sheek360:
Lol

Do the stock cm7 kernels have voodoo enabled?

Im loving vmax kernel. That lil bit of extra voltage does wonders for signal strength. Can someone explain the kernals relationship with the baseband? Always wondered.... I always get crappy service with UV kernels... vmax is just what the Dr ordered!
[Nexus S General] tmhung:
Download #38 nowww .
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
And.... :D
[Nexus S General] Araf:
Is there any big different with previous build?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Works fine and dandy here with OG's stock kernel w/mods ;)
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
mmmm... to try or not to try... Do I have the cyanongen dicease :)
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
w00t. #38!
[Nexus S General] Kingken:
Any issue with b38 so far?
[Nexus S General] jumaaneface:
We all have it :)

Try it!
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
I gave in... Installed ;)
[Nexus S General] DanRyb:
For anyone using Google Voice, is it "reloading" the Inbox if you try to use the Back button to get out of it?

I remember last year this was a problem with the Google Voice app itself that was later fixed. I did not have this issue on MoDaCo though, only with CM7 #36 and now on #38 too. Just curious if this is happening to others.
[Nexus S General] tmhung:
1,2ghz with #38 's so nice . Battery is more better than #36
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
How do you know battery is better? It's not even 12 hours since its release?
[Nexus S General] Waza_Be:
As the Nexus S battery life is ridicoulous compared to a similar usage with HTC Hero, HTC Desire Galaxy S, We can say that 12 hours is 66% of a bettery life.

That's enough time to make a good opinion of battery life.
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Actually there is no discernable different in the NS and those phones. Haven't had the Hero, but had the N1 and other HTC phones as well as Galaxy S variations. Same poor battery performance. NS is bad yes, but not measurably different than those you referenced.
[Nexus S General] The Jones:
I think all our mileages vary. I find I get at least 20% more life than with my N1. At least.
[Nexus S General] linkisoc:
From 35 (ish) onwards I've been unable to find car home on the market. I've flashed the new rom, flashed the apps package, signed into my google account then proceeded to download "my" apps. Now car home doesn't appear on the market and isn't available to me and trying to install the version of car home from the 2nd page of this thread into system / apps doesn't work either. I'm in the UK but has anyone experienced this and maybe got a fix ?
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Yeah, battery life hasnt been doing too hot lately.
[Nexus S General] floomat:
so my camera is working again after full wipe and reflash the rom and restore my apps/data, but now i dont get this little gray "on-screen notifications" anymore, for example when you save a new word on HTC_IME, or when you kill all running apps with a task manager. someone else same problem? :D

behind that, 38 is very nice so far! like the new option :)
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
#38 has been solid for me so far!
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Anyone having problems registering for updates in cm setting?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] gadjet:
Damn, my first CM fault?

Diden't try it till now, yes seems like my first problem ...:( been saying "Registering..Please Wait" for over 3 mins now!

I have been using ROM Manager as my tool to check nightly builds anyway, so no great shakes..
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Sigh, still so many issues in CM7 for Nexus S.

Once in a while, I'd get a missed call notification.... while my phone is behind me on a desk/bed etc.. I pick up my house phone to test call my cell. It shows i'm getting a call, no ring though.

I go to the settings/sounds and yep ringtone is set. I check the volume, yep it's set.

Reboot, now it's working fine again.

No longer getting crashes/softreboots..... but now no ring (and i'm using a ringtone in /system/media so that 2.3 bug with ringtone randomly changing is not it).
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I have had the same problem with notifications for a few builds now. A reboot fixes it, but then they will randomly go silent again and I will have to reboot again once I notice it.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Maybe slightly off topic here but I read in an Atrix review that you can tap the left or right portion of the screen to move the cursor one space to the left or right of the screen to help with fixing text errors. This is one thing I miss from the N1, using the trackball to move the cursor with precision. It would be nice if CM could integrate some feature like this to help with text editing.

I think it was an atrix review, could have been the LG 2x, don't remember.
[Nexus S General] mak213:
countless ppl posting "build #XX is good" or "omg build #XX is amazing" its uesless to post these and just a waste of space if your posting something post something useful...
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i agree

+10 agree characters

and yes, it doesnt seem to wanna work
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
and posting this makes you any better?

id rather hear someones personal input on roms/builds than reading ^^^^^^
[Nexus S General] B52:
me too, I had same pro.
[Nexus S General] Gilg@mesh:
if you mean when writing SMS just use the keyboard HTC_IME by Jonas.L, you can find it in the N1 forum, very nice option that replace the trackball, I just miss the LED notifications from the trackball
[Nexus S General] Gilg@mesh:
wrong......
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
Somewhat off topic, but sort of relates to it because I made this for my nightly flashing adventures....

I made an update.zip for myself that removes the adw launcher and replaces it with stock launcher and puts (free version) titanium backup into my system apps so I can restore even without signing into google after a clean wipe. Also puts stock nexus boot animation back. Just giving a heads up if anyone is interested in me sharing it. Would it be illegal or against forum rules to post that?

I'm also going to be making one that removes stock wallpapers and cyanogen wallpapers because I never use them. I'm looking into removing all the stuff I don't use to free up some pace.
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
That sounds a good invention! :)
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Yeah the HTC IME is great and I used it almost exclusively on my N1. I just loaded it up on the NS and the swipe gestures to move the cursor to beginning or end of a word helps but Im still missing a way to precisely control single space cursor movements for text editing.
[Nexus S General] floomat:
so i recognized it on my new nexus s, but its not on my hero, maybe because its a newer version but there is a little "flag" which can be used to move precisely one single space. :)

[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
Seems I'm getting the browser loading stall associated with flash now on any of netarchy or morphics kernels with the last couple of builds. Before putting flash to SD solved the problem and I could then again use any kernel I wanted and at almost any speed. Now they all cause the browser issue and I think I've done everything short of wiping data to fix it.

Anyone else with this issue?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
hey guys, if you are having problems or your battery life isn't great do a factory reset.

when you are flashing things do get "hung" and/or you can have a "bad" flash.

do a complete wipe with a clean install. (no restoring)

If you insist on restoring then have fun with the bugs;)
[Nexus S General] floomat:
what the.... my camera app is broken again after full wipe and reflash and a few reboots.. I know it worked a few hours ago :-( really don't want to wipe and reflash the Rom when I want to take a photo...

I have another problem. sometimes screen rotation just doesn't work anymore and its stuck at landscape..
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Yeah, So can anyone else try unregistering and then try re registering for update notifications? It doesnt want me to.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
39 up.....
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Oi.. spoke to soon. Had another soft reboot-bootloop. Phone got crazy hot. Needed battery pull. sigh.
[Nexus S General] floomat:
haha found out what breaks my stupid camera :D I tried to build a theme for me which can be choose in theme chooser and it was a bit buggy (no picture and no name (@string/theme_name) but theme worked so far maybe it breaks camera because it was built out of cyanbread from cm7 #28) maybe someone knows a workaround :D
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
You can build your own themes with 64-bit ubuntu and cm source
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
Anybody on 39 yet? How is it running?
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
Installing now....
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
its broken here too
[Nexus S General] tmhung:
Build 39 downloading .......
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Build 39 is fine so far
[Nexus S General] myunitisz:
my market keeps on froce closing after the 39 update anyone know how to fix?
[Nexus S General] morfic:
Negate that. Works fine. had not used it since wiping dalvik...
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Clear the cache for it and see if it happens. You can always wipe and reflash if it fails. Mine is working perfectly fine and dandy.
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
Here's a "first aid kit" I made for myself for when nightly installs go wrong and I have to wipe and start from clean slate. Replaces ADW with stock launcher, adds titanium backup, drop box, market and puts stock nexus boot animation back. Comes in handy for me when I want to install apps before using the market or need to pull something from drop box.

[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
im sure some people will find good use for this ;)
[Nexus S General] Gilg@mesh:
Sorry I forgot to mention that you can move the cursor with the volume buttons :-)
[Nexus S General] kyleds:
Anyone else get ridiculously slow browser speed after a while?

New Lockscreen coming in tonight's Nightly.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/2954

EDIT: After a long discussion they seem to have agreed on jazzk's battery % solution. The same is implemented by AdamG for his Oxygen ROM.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
sooo what gives? Car Home no longer shows up in market for me and on market.android.com it shows:
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
I noticed that too.. It also looks like there will be a percentage in the battery? I could of misread it though..

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2789
[Nexus S General] onei0077:
Yea, love when my phones interface changes. Tricks me into thinking its new.
[Nexus S General] monkeydrufy:
sorry guys,

the last nightly (39) is based on android 2.3.3 or 2.3.2?

thanks
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
2.3.2 i believe
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
2.3.2. 10char
[Nexus S General] simms22:
nothing is based on 2.3.3 yet.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Oh hell yeah. That's huge. Thank you for pointing that out.
[Nexus S General] AndyCr15:
Little help please. Is the power toggles in notification bar available as a separate app?

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
No, but you can sort of replicate it with Widgetsoid.
[Nexus S General] morganchristiansson:
com.android.phone is force closing me for the 2nd time after full wipe. Not feeling like doing a wipe again but may have to?

Is there anyway I could help track it down? I have several years of Linux+Java and 1 year of Android dev experience.

Updated to latest #39 nightly and it's still happening.

I reported it on the CM issue tracker (which was obv. the wrong place). code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2819 It has logcat excerpt with stack trace of the force close looping. Seems CDMAPhone.getState() is throwing NullPointerException due to mCT being null.

Any workaround to try or pointers where to look? I really don't want to do a full wipe every 2nd day.

Thx.
[Nexus S General] BobbySteel:
Did you use the 2g/3g switcher? I had fc 's from that. Wipe and reinstall

Sent from my Motorola RAZR via SMS
[Nexus S General] AndyCr15:
Really? I was sure I'd once seen someone link to it? :(
[Nexus S General] moskuito:
Same here.. but don't think this is Rom related, is it?
[Nexus S General] thejron:
Anyone having data issues? I'll have 2-3 bars of 3G and the browser won't load pages and it'll take a few reboots to get it to work correctly.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
restore your backup then reflash the rom. thats what worked for me when i had that happen :D
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
if it counts for anything Word with friends doesnt show up on the phone, so i had to install via market.android.com
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
I have been having this problem for the past 5 nightlies. Seems to only happen after a full titanium restore. So now I only restore the apps and not the data. No problems so far. But I think using the 2g/3g notification widget may be the problem..
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
I know a lot of people here prefer the stock launcher over ADW or other alternatives.

I made a few small mods to the stock Launcher2 because I too love the stock launcher but really miss having the "drop to uninstall" feature of adw. So I added that feature to the stock launcher. I also reduced the number of screens to 3 because I don't need 5 screens... I'm working on a simple setting for setting the number of screens as well.

To install:

adb shell pm uninstall com.android.launcher
adb install "path/to/Launcher2.apk"

OR

adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk
adb install "path/to/Launcher2.apk"

Enjoy (or don't)

EDIT: Oops wrong file.. one sec
[Nexus S General] dudeimgeorge:
alot of problems

yes. 3g to 2g is almost irreversable. reboot needed to get back. facebook, twitter etc, basically anything needing info refresh fails at times. a bunch of other stuff.. blah blah blah alpha rom problems. im sure many will reply "no problems here" its all a buch of random crap.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
Forty!!!!!"
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
#40 is up!!
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
No sense lockscreen or battery... :-(
[Nexus S General] Araf:
is it new feature?
[Nexus S General] dudeimgeorge:
Browser is ****

40 has made search buttons on numerous sites (craigslist, amazon, facebook, google itself) rendered useless. Browser in general is absolutely subpar. UGHHHH. (mind you i always do a clean install, WIPE EVERYTHING. and please dont bother saying yours is perfect. im seriously starting to feel the people who say everything is fine is more annoying then the ones that say the problems.voi

update: also using my wifi (avg speed 9mb/s) is an absolute joke loading websites and voice searches
[Nexus S General] dudekiller:
didnt wipe, browser works fine and wifi is fine as well... build 40

try try again? george?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
on 40, browser is fine here, even did searches in the websites you mentioned.... are you restoring apps? or re-downloading them?
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Someday man, someday. :( I don't think it's committed yet. :(
[Nexus S General] tmhung:
Omg . It have #40 update . ....
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
New rotary unlock screen is snazzy
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
The rotary lockscreen has been on cm7 for awhile now...
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i never noticed it
[Nexus S General] SubyWill:
Everything is running good on #40 so far.

I just want some new features already!!
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I don't care about getting new features right away, there is already so much to love. Work out some bugs with each build, and that is enough to keep me happy. I am loving this ROM
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
Launcher I started to post here is fixed if anyone wants it. Attached
[Nexus S General] crking1980:
Build 40

There is no point of downloading this build. Its the same as 39. There wasn't any merges today
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
there is a point if your an addict
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
unless your ISP gives you a cap on your bandwidth ;)
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
..what ISP is that :o
[Nexus S General] 651stp:
had no signal the night before i went to sleep thinking maybe i just lost it for a sec, but woke up with no signal either. restart fixed it but still. wish that didnt happen :)
[Nexus S General] thomasck:
is there any way to get back the sock menu style?

mine one seems not to be running smoothly..
[Nexus S General] Hawky_:
I also prefer the stock launcher over the ADW laucher. I installed this file, but there seems to be a bug. After opening launcher with the apps, the home button does not work, it does nothing.

How can I remove this launcher? And does anybody have the stock launcher without any modifications?
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Doesn't look like google is fixing this problem anytime soon. :(
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I don't have a cap but I know some people with Comcast in California that is limited to 250gb per month.

No problems with build 40.
[Nexus S General] Gilg@mesh:
is it possible to modify it to be able to hide programs you don't use? that would be nice...and maybe only to use one homescreen?
[Nexus S General] moskuito:
So is anybody else experiencing issues with car home? :confused:
[Nexus S General] sona911:
Me too
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
No issues here. I use Tasker to launch it and disable it. Need this plug in: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mb.locale.cardock

Gmail - Youtube

ver 40#

I have problem to lunch Gmail and youtube. The icon does not exit.

I tried to fix that but no way .

I did wipe / factory rest

wipe cash

I flash google aplication
[Nexus S General] thomasck:
its working just ok here.. after flashing googleapp, u should get a list with what u want to install.. eg, yt, gmail, etc..
[Nexus S General] B52:
Thank's thomasck

I selected gmail and you tube >> but it doesn't exit.

all other stuff ok and sync with gmail to get my contacts.
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
I was having issues last night that turned out to be due to my phone but I had made some changes trying to fix it. I simply forgot to revert them once I realized my phone was actually screwed up.

Here is the fixed one. Also fixed a bug where if you hold to uninstall and then move away, it would still open the package uninstaller.

This one is 100% stock with just the drop to uninstall feature and 3 screens.

Also attached a version with just one screen.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Anyone notice since build 30 or so that SMS delivery notifications are broken? Rather than actually telling you when the recipient received the SMS, it says they've received it as soon as you hit send (which is impossible).
[Nexus S General] boostedfern:
Ya I can't get it to open. It says it's on in the notification bar but that's it
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
you need to download it from the market, but at this time you cant download it from the market on device or online.
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
I am from South Africa. Telkom my ISP got a monopoly and we got a cap of 9 gig. If you hit 9 gig you have to pay to extend it.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i am so sorry :(
[Nexus S General] legojj:
I'm with you buddy, telkom is a rip off...
[Nexus S General] moskuito:
Wonder what is causing the issue.. is it really Rom related? Don't really know..

Anybody, any hint?
[Nexus S General] moskuito:
I got it already, restored it from a titanium old backup... but it stopped working anyway since build 38 or so... just press it, the icon appears up in notification bar but the app itself doesn't really launch... so strange...

And yes, trying to uninstall and search for it in the market gives a no show..!! Even stranger!
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
once it shows up in the market again and you download it from their it should fix the issue, it shows up on my brothers Stock N1 and my other brothers CM7 Evo
[Nexus S General] thomasck:
strange, it worked like i said to me..

try making a short cut (pressing the screen for some secs) to gmail label.. should work..

how can i install? i have tryed with, adb shell pm uninstall com.android.launcher and returns me an error, and when trying with adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk i get the confirmation to delete.. however, i cant type anything..

i just need to plug the mobile in the usb and do it, or there is any another step?
[Nexus S General] mtw4991:
Just want to make sure that you know, CarHome is the dock app; CarHomeLauncher from the Market is the app that will open on your phone;)

Here is the apk, just install like normal app.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
ya i know.

last i checked i read somewhere that the next gaaps update they put out will have it fixed or something along those lines
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Doesn't work for me still. Puts the icon in the taskbar but no interface launches.
