[Nexus S Android Development] abn.geek:

edit : never mind, didn't see those small sentences in the OP. Great work!
[Nexus S Android Development] giodesi1965:
Upgrade 1.03-->1.04 only wipe cache % Dalvik?
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Updating from 1.03 wiping cache is recommended.

Updating from 1.02 wiping data/cache factory reset is recommended.
[Nexus S Android Development] matteb2:
Loved this rom from the beginning, but definitely starting to love it more and more!

Keep the updates coming! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] heroheto:
you got that right. The best of both worlds
[Nexus S Android Development] Xandlinger:
Giving this a try -- never thought I would see sub 100kb/s speeds on MediaFire, interesting. This brings back memories of the dial-up days... oh how painful.

Loving the ROM so far. Ecstatic that I have the stock bootscreen back as well. So far the ROM is running smoothly. Also, flashing this ROM fixed my music issue (horrible distortion at higher speaker levels, but this could have been my fault for going from nightly #40 to #41 without any kind of wiping).

Thanks OP -- looking forward to your future updates.
[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:

[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Go to mounts and storage in recovery. Format boot / system / data / cache. Install rom. Let me know how it works out.
[Nexus S Android Development] majorgoose:
Hi Frank,

Love this ROM, fast stable looking forward to test the battery-life add-on, great job !

Wanted to know if you could add in the next release a built-in battery percentage?
[Nexus S Android Development] jonatansofer:
Thx. Its very good
[Nexus S Android Development] erikwervo:
my request still the same :D sim toolkit please
[Nexus S Android Development] tcvaio:
Pls update what you have found on the test of battery-life. Thank you :)
[Nexus S Android Development] giodesi1965:
But GPS module not work?

The GPS Module turns on , but The satellites are not detected (Aura, Google Navigator)
[Nexus S Android Development] PATLEN:
GPS

with me GPS immediately (aura)
[Nexus S Android Development] dryphi:
Is this only for Nexus S?? I want this for N1. Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] giodesi1965:
yes but in the aura hardware control, the satellites appears?
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
Awesome. Well worth the wait.

Best rom for NS

thanks frank for the folder bug fix.
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
@swa2k4: what's that clock/weather widget?
[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
Thanks again Frank.
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
Can we +/- the number of home pages on using ud launcher?? THanks again frank to build this incredible ns rom for us :d
[Nexus S Android Development] rpcob:
I love your work with this rom. Best by far. However, I'm not crazy about the new launcher. Sure it beats the heck out of the one in cm but it doesn't seem ready. Like addin and dropping screens, what's a hotseat, it shifted everything over and lost my far left screen, it shows up when switching tasks. Though there is the nice feature of landscape mode. Is it possible to offer two downloads? One with the original and one with UD? or just supply the ud as an optional download?

Thanks. I appreciate all your work. Keep it up.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
Who wants the launcher from 1.0.17? I extracted it and used it on 18.

My left most screen got shifted to a part where its out of reach when I updated to 18. that's why I'm using the previous launcher.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
I recommend wiping data. Or even clear data through settings application for the launcher. Not a launcher issue, just not backwards compatible.
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkVis:
I thought of wiping my data but I didn't wanna download all my apps again so I just went for a quick fix :)
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Try just restoring the Launcher2.apk to default settings by go to Settings - Manager Applications - ALL [Tab] - Launcher - Select CLear data
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Thanks Frank.... super job!
[Nexus S Android Development] swa2k4:
SiMi clock widget

The launcher is largely the same as the one from .17 just adds some great options like 4 item dock. but keeps the flawlessness of stock gb launcher I'm sure we'd rather the .18 than the old one moving forward!

[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Does the notification pull down (swipe down on home screen when hiding status bar to open dropdown) in ADW ex work with 1.0.18? It's broken in CM7 final... only works if you put notification bar on bottom of screen... Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
That feature broke when systemui was updated with tablet tweaks. It's a known bug.
[Nexus S Android Development] lolokman:
Has the 2g/3g toggle bug been fixed in the new version?
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
i like the new laucher. more like an enhanced version of stock launcher.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Guess not.But i have no problem with it.Because i open when need 3g than close it when i don't need so its ok for me.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
CM updates will not slow down by any means, nightlies will continue to be released. And so will updates for NSCollab. These updates will be released based based on stability and performance.

The launcher is being actively developed by blackdroid. So much more to come. Hope 1.0.18 is working smoothly for you all.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Was wondering if you tweaked it at all to fix it for your rom... Thanks for the answer.
[Nexus S Android Development] sombody:
Does anyone know how to reduce the number of pages... hopefully there would be an option to set how many homepages one wants.

For me, 3 homescreens are more than enough :)
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
quote +1! :D

m8, how much battery drains new launcher?!!?
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
Very very great in 1.0.18
[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:
best launcher ever:D

thanks frank, nice job!
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
[bug] soft touch menu->notifications does not work
[Nexus S Android Development] star9392:
exlpoerer browsed Chinese language folder still were "?".
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
I want say that, this 1.0.18rom has a excellet battery life and it is better than 1.0.17. But sometime it appearance lag on the home page of the ud launcher.....:(
[Nexus S Android Development] Hawky_:
1.0.18:

The Power Amp music player crashes if I overclock to 1.2 ghz. The nexus reboots immediately after loading a song. If I return back to 1.0 ghz this issue is gone.

This worked fine on 1.0.17 though.
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
I dont have this issue
[Nexus S Android Development] croques:
UDLauncher screens

[bug] There appears to be a mapping problem from the old ADW Launcher screens to the new UD launcher.

My old left-most ADW screen is now at -1 on the new UD (assuming we count screens from left starting zero) I can swipe into part of of the screen but not remove the widget. I have (or had) power Amp there.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
1- New launcher will NOT preserve previous home screens, a wipe is recommended but not required for previous NSCollab users. Users who are updating may have to sort homescreens manually.

2. CM Issue - Notification Bug - Using launcher - menu -"notication.Does not work at the moment. Was broken when tablet tweaks were implemented for CM 7 notification bar. It is a known bug.

[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Not all phones are capable of overclocking @ higher speeds. Kernel updates may bring more stability but overclocking will still vary from user to user

Reset the launcher. Settings - Application - Manage Applications - All (tab) - Launcher - (select) Clear Data
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
+1.

3 are all i need.

@frank:

i don't know if this is a bug or what.

if I move apps to usb storage, reboot the phone will result in those apps disappear in app drawer.

if i move them back to phone, everything works as it should be.
[Nexus S Android Development] senfoo:
sweet!

loving this rom right now!

no issues since release.

stable, fast, good battery life.
[Nexus S Android Development] tankmaster90:
With the new UD launcher, can we still apply themes like darkginger and matted blues?
[Nexus S Android Development] suhas_sm:
Can apply themes from Theme Manager ? :( Launcher crashes after applying cyanbread :(
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
I'll post an update to the optional theme manager download that will include stock launcher.

[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Fix was released for launcher notification pull down in CM 7. Will incorporate in the next release.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] matteb2:
I have a bug where I only receive some of the text messages that people are sending me. Sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't. I haven't messed with anything, other than reinstalling the rom a few times to see if that fixes things...

Could you look into this? It's an incredibly annoying bug.
[Nexus S Android Development] Netconn:
Other then moving the screens over it works great. Faster then .17
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
Question .. when i run CM7 I am using on average approximately 65mb of RAM. With this ROM approximately 95mb. Does not make sense.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
Probably something to do with the strict minfree handler (listed as a tweak in the OP). This frees up more RAM than regular CM7.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:
That's my point it is using more
[Nexus S Android Development] mikechw:
Here is another bug with the new launcher... open the drawer... it doesn't show apps that are installed to the SD card.

Press settings... configure... then rotate the phone... the configure screen will disappear... I have rotation disabled
[Nexus S Android Development] mikechw:
Also.. it is no ways to add widgets to the screen if launcher is configured not to accept long press...
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
confirmed. those two bug happens to me as well.

about the long press disable thingy, i dont think it's a bug.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Apps to SD may be an issue that will require a wipe, if your upgrading from previous build or using any type of back up / restore app. For the various test combinations i have used have not run this issue. I try to test as many rom installs as possible, but i personally never restore backups. So please let me know if this issue continues after a wipe on your device.

The launcher configure settings windows disappears because it does not support display rotation, so regardless of launcher rotation setting, if your display is setup to Auto Rotate ( Settings - Display - Auto-Rotate Screen ) the configure screen may disappear when switching the orientation of the phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] DumbUglyDragon:
Small gripe, but anyone else notice if you load a new theme, you loose the Notification Power Widget until reboot?
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
that happens with cm7 stable as well. it doesn't bother me much though :D
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
Then leave long press enabled? :S

I like the new launcher, the phones doesnt seem as stable but then again i haven't done a full wipe since the first versions of NScollab

Probably gonna do a full wipre when i get home, i'll report back

also, seven home screens?? damn lol, would be nice if blackdroid made a setting to choose how many
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
CM7 #39 is up, and fixed adw launcher bug~
[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:
i've tried the last nightly 1h ago...adw lagging a bit with some live wallpapers

the new launcher of nscollab is the best(imho)
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
I have freezing problem on scolling my homescreen. I am not using live wallpaper:( i dont have this problem on 1.0.17
[Nexus S Android Development] hutzdani:
The new update causes galery to FC from home screen long press to add new wall paper and from the app drawer.

Also fixing permissions causes phone to boot to google splash screen and sit there endlessly unless you reflash back up.

This is the 5th time i had to install any CM7 based rom due to FC's and stuff not working, i fail to see why CM7 is so good its terribly w@nky since it was started. shame really because all these good roms are based on their shoddy work.

back to 1.0.17
[Nexus S Android Development] icase81:
I am back to the stock 2.3.3 build.

I REALLY liked the options NSCollab added, but it was just too unstable for daily use. I would get 2-3 random reboots a day, but since going back to stock last Friday, not a single reboot or crash/FC.

I had it on my wife's Nexus S too, and she was fine from the .17 release till yesterday. All of a sudden her .17 started random rebooting too. There were no new apps installed, or anything changed either. I moved her back to stock 2.3.3 last night.

Hopefully in the future I can revisit NSCollab. Keep on truckin, what you're doing is great, but I can't have my phone hard lock or random reboot in the middle of the night as I use it to receive pages for work that, if missed, are bad juju.
[Nexus S Android Development] kemsiro:
i dont know if this is a bug or not.

if i'm opening an app. pressing home button will sometimes open app drawer. it supposes to take me to home screen.
[Nexus S Android Development] tominater12:
Did you wipe data before you flashed 18?
[Nexus S Android Development] buachaille:
That's very nice of you :confused:

Did you forget that all this "shoddy" work is done for free?
[Nexus S Android Development] slaman:
Long-press home key functionality is an option in the Cyanogen Settings...
[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:
everything work fine for me...0 reboots
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
me2...but sometimes i have freezing problem on scroll the home screen

. i need to reboot manually to fix it :(:(:(:(:(
