sure, but i dont do anything special. first off i download directly to the phone(rom, gapps, kernel), always. i do not ever use rom manager. then boot into clockwork recovery, flash the rom(usually a cm7 nightly or kang), flash the gapps, then flash the kernel(usually trinity). after, all you do is reboot. notice that i dont wipe anything? the only time that you do have to wipe(data) is when youre on a certain rom then flashing a different rom. i dont wipe dalvik or cache either. i do occasionally, every few days, delete my dalvik cache. but i dont associate it with flashing roms(its usually just a random time that i do,m and helps keep the phone speedy).

Question about kernels and rom.

Installed CM7 for a few days for my Nexus S, loving it, much better experience than what I had when I was using CM7 with i9000.

Question about ROM: I noticed there is a rom Kang Bacon (or something along that line), what's the difference with CM7? Tried that for a few hours, don't see to see any difference.

Question about Kernel: There are a few Kernel out there with a lot of function (much more than what I need), is there a kernel have only BLN and Voodoo? I don't need to have under volt, overclock, not even ext4 enhancement. Or do I really have to config my own kernel for what I want?
[Nexus S General] damngood98:
kang: like a nightly but compiled by someone else, possibly including new commits that would be in the next actual nightly (see op)

bacon: who doesn't like bacon?

would probably try this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949292

fully stable, not a lot of updates because it doesn't need them and isn't looking for the whole cutting edge/experimental thing
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
You could try Matr1x too lol

[Nexus S General] StormCell:
I'm really confused as to the numbering here. The latest nightly I see is Build 57. What is #137 for?
[Nexus S General] cheech87:
57 is for the Sprint NS4G model. All other NS models use the other builds which are now up to 141.
[Nexus S General] uvlight:
Thank you everyone

Thanks for everyone's help. :D

Coming from i9000 CM7, uv & oc usually cause weird things, that's why I am looking for one that doesn't have those.

I am not bashing all the kernel compiler, but I wonder if uv is that important, every custom kernel have that. It may introduce instability to the system while the battery saving does not seem noticeable (at least not noticeable to me), the battery saving people notice may just be placebo effect.

Right now I am settled with Jame Bond kernel, maybe I will try others later when I want oc and other stuff.
[Nexus S General] ellesshoo:
I'm sorry I don't know where to look for this info, probably bc I never needed/wanted to but... is there a way to see if the 3G/2G widget toggle issue (NOT the 2G option in settings) is known to the CM team or is being actively looked into?

And no, I can't submit any kind of log or dump file bc I just recently rescued my phone from the hell that is using that toggle (thinking it was fixed) and I'm not going through that again.

It really is disappointing that it totally FUBARs the NS. 2G is one of, if not the most significant idle time power savers. This isn't a complaint, just a request for info or where to find info. Thanks.
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
I have no issue with my 2g toggle from the notification bar....

sent from my nexus s on a kang from simms
[Nexus S General] ellesshoo:
Really? It switches back to 3g fine? What model do you have, 9020a? What carrier? I was referring to the toggle in the power control widget.

That sounds like good news, the thing is that however the power control widget, or juice defender, or that 2G toggle apk someone on xda made might be working differently. And those can be automated which is nice (like switch to 2g when screen off etc...).

Does the 3g/2g toggle of the power control widget work for you?
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
No that pos doesn't work and now it broke my notification button =[ not only that, but upon reboot to fix the problem I got the dreaded phone fc and had to flash a recocery

Hi. I'm new to the android experience (coming from a win 6.5 Omnia II). So flashing seems to have a little bit more involved on my nexus s.

Now..if you can be so kind to explain the process... I currently have a "rooted" nexus s. What would i do next to flash a rom?

-also on the cyanogenmod mirror website, there seems to be roms organized by devices, i dont see a nexus s there. something im missing?

Depending on your phone model.
[Nexus S General] uvlight:
Nexus is "crespo"

- Since you are rooted, you can flash the recovery to ClockWorkMod (cwm).

- Or you can unlock the bootloader (if not already unlocked) and boot into cwm without flashing the recovery.

- then you can flash CM7 using cwm.

those are the basic steps, you have to find out how to do it since everything is scatter around the web. you can even find how to do that in YouTube.

you could... but some of the trinity kernels wont boot if you do. i havent run into any issues by not wiping them. id save that until an issue comes up.

If you do a wipe then just flash rom + gapps. Then after it boots go back into recovery and flash kernel (with no wipe).

ext4 hack with stock kernel

So for whoever is interested this is the stock boot.img (for nightly build 16) that I modified with supercurio's ext4 hack. I was doing it with gscript but it gets to be a hassle. thanks to kopressed for the inspiration and device id...I was waiting for him to do it again (he built one for aplha2 but he must be busy)

you will see huge gains...+800 on quadrant

kernel remains stock

if you want to "test" it (won't stick on reboot)

fastboot boot boot.img

to make it stick (until next rom flash;))

fastboot flash boot boot.img

I think there is a "gingerbread launcher free" in the market by eugene. Ive never used it before but i think it works pretty well.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Thanks, I will definitely give this a try.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Is the only upside not having to hit the gscript everytime you reboot? I kind of like doing it, it makes me feel special :cool:

EDIT: Why must you force me to think about someone ****ting themselves every time I read your posts :)
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
cool. I am going to try to keep it up to date as I need the speed. The ns is my daily driver so I am hesitant to flash and run kernels as I can't have my phone rebooting during the day...maybe when they get a bit more stable;)

Until then, I really can't live without the ext4 hack. I wish cm would put it in
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
right...just like the gscript hack. I just hated doing it...I like it automatic:D
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
hmm, can't get it to flash. Odd
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
its not flashable. extract it to tools then boot into fastboot and run the code i posted
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Ah, been a while since I had to fastboot anything :)
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I'm trying to do this from a Mac and for some reason not working well. What's the command for doing it through terminal emulator. Thanks
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
You probably already know this but with macs you have to put "./" in front of commands.

./fastboot devices

./fastboot flash ...

depending on what your fasboot file is named it could be:

./fastboot-mac devices

etc.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
made an flashable zip...

Are you using launcher pro? Do you turn on all the fancy graphics?
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
newest nightly is fine.
[Nexus S General] Enhanced:
Just installed CM7 on my Nexus a few hours ago and everything is fine except for this one issue with LauncherPro as shown below:

As you can see, there are graphical glitches with the Bookmarks widget which wasn't present with the stock ROM and with Oxygen.

This is with the latest nightly #143. I've tried reloading the widget, reinstalling LP and even reinstalling the ROM with without avail. I'm also using Netarchy 1.3.7 CFS. I'm also using the Arctic Gray skin but the issue also persist with the stock skin as well.

While it is a small glitch that doesn't affect functionality, it is enough for me to consider going back to the other ROMs if I can't get a fix.

Anyone come across the same problem?
[Nexus S General] Bamdroid:
Try autokiller in the market, and use the presets. Aggressive setting usually doesn't drop below 80 MB of ram. The stock setting of the rom itself is the strict setting you'll see, so you're not tweaking much. (You don't have to manually do anything at all. The autokiller is a tweak of what android OS already does to manage memory. Just choose a preset and that's it).

It could help..
[Nexus S General] sonnysekhon:
I have the same issue and it has nothing to do with the skin (I am the creator of that skin btw :)). I tried just about everything but no luck.

Another option: You can get rid of the widget and use a swipe gesture bookmarks popup for one of your dock icons. That's what I do.
[Nexus S General] Enhanced:
First off, awesome skin. :)

Secondly, I've noticed that the graphical error only affects certain bookmarks and not others (position doesn't matter). Ones for sure is Google Reader at www.google.com/reader/i and Google search at www.google.com. I've bookmarked their Gmail mobile site and their Google+ mobile site and those are fine however. Also, I've noticed that any Wikipedia bookmark will have the glitch as well.

I find it quite odd that it's persistent on only certain sites and that it is selective. I don't want to get rid of the widget as it is so easy to launch sites right from your homescreen. =\

EDIT: Even tried using the Colorize Bookmark widget and same thing happens with the graphics. Guess the common denominator here is CM7. =\ It's unfortunate.

[Nexus S General] eramsey:
I've also been getting lots of random reboots. Several a day. I have tried formatting /system /cache /sdcard /data and flashing

Several different rom/kernel/radio combos with and without oc and uv. It seems that anything built off of cyan is unstable, regardless of what kernel you use (cyan stock, netarchy, trinity) and that sucks because I love cyan. I just can't deal with the constant reboots anymore and I'm starting to get tired of trying to fix mine and my gf's phones (I have two of these to test on. Both exhibiting the same problems although hers seems worse than mine).

For now I have flashed back to a stock 2.3.4 rooted rom with netarchy 1.3.8. Zero random reboots in two days. of course stock is slower and more limiting which sucks.

One other interesting thing, when running any cyan based rom, regardless of which kernel I am using, my phone will not take the 1.4ghz oc regardless of governor. It'll boot and run on 1.4 but stability gets even worse. On this stock 2.3.4 rom / netarchy 1.3.8 combo I have zero problems with 1.4ghz. ZERO random reboots. The stock rom runs slower than the cyan roms but ahh the sweet stability and amazing battery life, even oc'd to 1.4!

Guess I'm just going to have to wait patiently for a stable build, or learn to code/compile android myself.

100 days+ on stock 2.3.4 with my own goodies (root, SU, tun, busybox, etc)

Not had a single reboot, have had two hangs over those 100 days (both were related to one specific app). Nowhere near the once a day hang on CM7 and many reboots.

On the current nightly are people who've had habitual hangs/reboots seeing some stability now. I've been on CM since the G1 and I just needed a solid phone for work/travel and couldn't deal with hangs where Alarm didn't work - phone not responsive during travel, etc.

Would LOVE to go back to CM ; bug reports I put in weren't much help as hangs happened outside any logging tools.

Would love to hear current feedback. 100+ days with no major issues on stock + root - still missing CM though.
