FIX For Slow Boot Times

Will release the update tomorrow. But i have a fix for those running current or previous builds of NSCollab with delayed boot times, it does require formating your SDCard. Even with the current NSCollab 1.0.12 on my phone, my nexus s now boots in less than 20 seconds.

1. Reboot Recovery

2. select & confirm " - wipe data/factory reset"

3. select " - mounts and storage"

4. select & confirm " - format sdcard"

5. select " - mount USB storage"

6. connect your phone to your pc; copy "NSCollab-1.0.XX.zip" over to the root of your sdcard; eject the sdcard

7. select " - unmount"

8. select " - ***** Go Back *****"

9. select " - advanced"

10. select " Reboot recovery"

11. wait for phone to reboot to recovery

12. select " - install zip from sdcard"

13. select & confirm "NSCollab-1.0.XX.zip"

14. After the rom installs, reboot your phone. After your phone boots up for the first time, perform a reboot and you will notice the night and day difference.

hey guys, still wondering if someone can tell me if this rom is any faster than normal cm7 not figuring in the kernel (since i would flash a diff one)... also, why does it say in the initial post to turn surface dithering off??? thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Eizig:
Yeah, this is really annoying.

Maybe I'll try NSCollab again, I really enjoyed it except this bug.

I'll hide the 2G/3G button this time...

Hope it will be fixed soon..!
[Nexus S Android Development] yamanote:
What's the best way to update from 1.0.09? Wipe cache only or factory data reset+format boot/system/data/cache or what? Or can I just flash over the current installation in clockwork?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] lfmmoura:
You should be able to flash 1.0.12 directly on top of 1.0.09. If you run into any problems, then try reflashing it with a wipe data/factory reset.
[Nexus S Android Development] yamanote:
Thanks, will try that now.

Cheers
[Nexus S Android Development] yamanote:
Turns out I was at 1.0.08.

What I did was create a backup, wipe cache and flash the 1.0.12 zip all in clockwork.

Works perfectly fine. Updated rom and kernel and all my apps are still there.

Just one thing- isn't the kernel update supposed to improve boot time? My phone still takes around 2 minutes to boot (same as before). Do I need to format my sdcard (USB storage) or something?

Cheers,
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Please try to transfer you applications from internal to do sdcard.Use application manager move all if possible to the sd.
[Nexus S Android Development] lfmmoura:
Have you rebooted a few times, or are you talking about the first boot? Cause the first boot after wiping the Dalvik cache (which happens at a full wipe) usually takes a long time. After that, it should be faster.

Mine certainly boots faster than previous builds, but not faster than stock. I think CM7 and/or Netarchy were slower before this fix. But it's not a huge difference anyway.
[Nexus S Android Development] yamanote:
I'll try that, thanks.

First boot took ~10 minutes and later boots take ~2 minutes (ie same as before) I've already rebooted several times and the times are consistent.

Not a big deal, just wondering why my phone doesn't boot faster despite the new kernel.

Just one more question: is it possible to revert back to launcher2.apk (non-dark apk ie the launcher in previous versions)

Edit: found the stock gblauncher in cyanogenmod forum (op of this post posted the link lol)

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Format your SD card, reboot to recovery and format cache. You boot time should be no more than 30 secs. If you still have an issue wipe data and reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] suhas_sm:
Does titanium backup app from Sdcard aswell?
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
Bro, would you please include the "DSP MANAGER" in next update????

thx a lot
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
lol already done, will be released asap.
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
lol thx alot dude!!!! you are the best:D
[Nexus S Android Development] suhas_sm:
Are u kidding? 30 seconds? Omg! How many if u have ur boot up time less than two minutes?
[Nexus S Android Development] sweetpiggy:
i don't know why,

but if you move all yours apps on sd..... your nexus will boot faster! (for me, about 200 apps, all on sd, boot in 35 sec. ..... whitout:

Format your SD card, reboot to recovery and format cache. You boot time should be no more than 30 secs. If you still have an issue wipe data and reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] suhas_sm:
Hmmm. I m giving it a try this weekend. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Haha! I already suggested that to you. Hmmmm...whatever :p Hope it boots well for you.

-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
[Nexus S Android Development] sombody:
Hope you could include netarchy 1.3.0.1 with BLN on you next release. Looking forward for it.
[Nexus S Android Development] serrov91:
HI there! I've been using NSColla .12 for a week.. the only bug I've encountered is te camera's flash.. it doesn't work at all..

I still can use the flash as a flashlight from the notification power control drawer though.
[Nexus S Android Development] byronsa:
mine works just fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] serrov91:
Im trying to wipe and flash it all over again.. thought it would be a ROM issue. It's weird because everything is working fine except this, thanks for your info though =)

EDIT: Wiped cache, dalvik, fixed permissions and flashed .12 again.. I still have the flash issue

So to be precise: In the stock camera app, the flash won't work in automatic mode nor in activated mode. I tried to use a third party camera application (Vignette) to see if it was either a hardware or a software issue, the flash actually works with third party camera applications. Does anybody has this issue? Thanks =)
[Nexus S Android Development] the1theycalldave:
i have been on this rom for a while now and always update when available but since iv updated to 1.0.12 it doesn’t seem to have updated. i dont get the dark launcher
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Have been testing various kernel options, boot times are at about 23 seconds now. Honity seems to be the most stable and compatible with the most recent builds of cm, and runs extremely smooth at stock speeds. Anyone with lenghty boot times care to test the next build?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
i can test if you want, but it doesn't matter so much for me if 30 or not i never close my phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:
i have the same problem

edit: doesn't work in automatic mode, it's ok in activated mode!...
[Nexus S Android Development] serrov91:
Nice to know I'm not the only one.. I just hope it's gonna be fixed in the next NSC version, i was thinking this might be the dark theme camera app issue..
[Nexus S Android Development] tankmaster90:

[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
What launcher do u suggest with this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
Stock worked best for me.others were laggy
[Nexus S Android Development] Tonypsycho:
GO Launcher EX
[Nexus S Android Development] lfmmoura:
ADW.EX works fine here. Ironically, for me it works better on top of NSCollab, which has the stock browser, than it does on top of CM7 which has the regular ADW as its main browser. Maybe ADW and ADW.EX conflict when being used in parallel.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Here is the latest build of NSCollab, it features the SuperAosp kernel w/ BLN support. Will release a Netarchy version as well in the next build.

[03/28] 1.0.13

[system] CM 7 Nightly #32

[kernel] SuperAosp #24 [bln support]
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
Nice, waiting on netarchy :D
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
uploading now...
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
The most recent CM Nightly's w/ Netarchy kernel has had some minor issues w/ superuser & root privileges on my phones. Will do further testing before releasing.
[Nexus S Android Development] mattdub1:
im confused about what kernel this is in the newest version??? where is it pulled from or who makes the kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] BraydenJames:
For what it's worth I've been running NSCollab 1.0.12 with Netarchy's 1.3.0.1(W/BLN) for a few days without a single SU issue. But obviously that's different than nightly #31.
[Nexus S Android Development] swa2k4:
Same here. Haven't had any issues with this combo and BLN working flawlessly. Keep up the good work Frank. Everyone I show your NSCollab loves the stability and battery life of which things you choose to incorporate!
[Nexus S Android Development] suboxide:
am i right to think the theme manager is gone or do i miss something can't seem to find it
[Nexus S Android Development] Eizig:
Just installed the 1.0.13 one.

I still can't use BLN,

"Your phone is not (officially) supported by BLN. The kernel on this devices does not support BLN."

and I still can put the 2G/3G switcher if I want to. Thought it will be removed untill a fix ?

That's all, great except these things !

PS : Also, the "dock" at the bottom of my screen (with the phone, dialer and navigator) isn't transparent anymore... Any idea ?
[Nexus S Android Development] BraydenJames:
If you look back at the OP there's a link at the bottom to download a flash-able zip for the Theme Manager so you can still use it.
[Nexus S Android Development] RickROM:
Just flashed . . . no problems so far . . . Where can we find a link to download this kernel separately? I like it so far, but I'd like to easily flash back to it if I install Netarchy or Honity.
[Nexus S Android Development] LovellKid:
Updated without a hitch, I just want to say thanks for integrating this into ROM Manager, makes updating a go. Been on this for a while and cant see myself switching.. Thanks again.
[Nexus S Android Development] sombody:
NS13 has been working fine for me with 1 random reboot for the day. I got lazy and decided not to do any wipe... has anyone else noticing their homescreen to be lagging when backing out from an app. At times, when I backout to the homescreen, I just see my wallpaper and it takes like ~3 seconds for the widgets and shortcuts to load.

Anyone experiencing something similar? Just trying to figure out whether its the rom or me being to lazy to wipe.
[Nexus S Android Development] Eizig:
Yep, same here..!
[Nexus S Android Development] blackerwater:
Love this Rom Frank thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:

[Nexus S Android Development] suhas_sm:
Can you tell the score by keeping it on performance instead of on demand and run the test for few times.
[Nexus S Android Development] imneo1:
Same delay with 1.0.13
[Nexus S Android Development] blackdem0n:
after 3 tests my score is 3075 (cpu 1200mhz: performance mode)
[Nexus S Android Development] :
BLN work fine but i wont use it.1.0.12 were fine more fluent.i installed 1.0.13 because of cm7 nighlty lastest.But dsp manager works fine with voodoo sound improvement.Should be good with all builds.i dont know what it has superaosp 4.0 kernel.But netarcy was fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] daffyno:
i will wait next release with netarchy.

1.0.12 works too much fine :cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] lfmmoura:
Guys,

How does this kernel compare to Netarchy? I'm asking this because I'm currently on 12 and everything is running really smooth.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] toriaa:
I just got a unfortunate reboot... now it's in a boot loop :( I'll try the #13 again... I had no such problems with the 1.0.12 version

edit: not sure what the problem was, but after a hard restart (taking out my battery) everything is running smooth again...
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
It's a kernel that borrows features of supercurio's kernel and netarchy's kernel from what I read on his page... I've been running super aosp (rom and kernel) for a few days now, running great, no problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Format your sdcard wipe / data , install rom. Guarantee it will fix your problem of delayed boot times
[Nexus S Android Development] suhas_sm:
Should we copy paste contents back after a format? Or should everything be afresh :( cost lots of App data appear to be SD card and not sure if titanium back them :(
[Nexus S Android Development] lfmmoura:
Guys,

For me, 12 had higher Quadrant results than 13... about 10% difference. Not that Quadrant matters much, but just thought you should know.

Anyone else noticed this?
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Copying your data back to SDCard should be fine.
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Expect 1.0.14 w/ RC3 Final to be released w/ Netarchy Kernel by tonight.

YYYAAAYYY, although ima be going down the pub tonight.... hmm fail flashing maybe? XD

Will be waiting tonight to download...
[Nexus S Android Development] :
how about dsp manager.its sets me free from other music players like mixing etc.EQ is necessary. :) thanks .
[Nexus S Android Development] sikorski:
NSCollab 1.0.13 has DSP Manager
[Nexus S Android Development] :
i know that and i'm using it but other builds hasnt so i guess its about superaosp kernel not netarchy etc. etc.
[Nexus S Android Development] icase81:
This ROM is fabulous. I tried a bunch of different ones, and I didn't notice much of a difference in speed, but the stability is paramount in it. A lot of little quirks aren't present that are in the Stock 2.3.3. Keep up the good work!

Hi frank, Thank you so much for you time and hard work you put into this rom.

#1 do you accept Donations? If so, where can we send it? I'm sure a lot of us would support.

#2 I just would like to know your reasoning behind why you choose CFS vs BFS. I'm just learning the differences and curious to see why you chose one over the other

Hey frank amazing mix and fast updating on roms I really appreciate it. One quick note I see in rc3 version of 14 it seems colors are not saving from nets kernel. Not sure if its just me but they keep reverting to those bland colors on reboot.
[Nexus S Android Development] sam_htc_touch:
Hi Frank,

I noticed that you had mentioned Wipe Data/Cache Recommended if upgrading from NSCollab1.0.xx and hence I did Wipe Data etc..However, after installing the latest 1.0.14, I am unable to use Titanium Backup or Superuser or Terminal ..Titanium Backup is stuck at Asking for root rights..

SuperUser just remains as a blank/black screen

and Terminal Emulator remains at su in blue colour after pressing enter..

What do you reckon could be the issue and how do I fix it..

(One mistake I did is to not take a nandroid backup :( ) Only took a Titanium Backup (and also created an update.zip from it)

Tried using a Restore Backup from ROM Manager as well (even though its 10 days old, but I can live with that)- However even that is not working, giving an error message : Activity Manager and Restore Backups (in application ROM Manager) is not responding (Force Close / Wait )

Any suggestions.. desperately needed!!

Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] sam_htc_touch:
Reverting to 1.0.12 ..Dont seem to be getting any luck with Su and/or root etc in 14..:(
[Nexus S Android Development] frank707:
Wipe Cache. Try this kernel also. Reason i delayed a release w/ Netarchy was because of SU errors. This should fix any superuser problems.
[Nexus S Android Development] RonnieRuff:

Frank,

Can I ask why you tried the SuperAOSP kernel and why going back to netarchy even though I'm a big netarchy fan I'm curious.

Also can you point me in the direction of the SuperAOSP kernel in case I want to try it out again? Thanks again.
[Nexus S Android Development] swa2k4:
Flashed the latest NSCollab 1015 and it works great but the only problem I am still getting is the super long boot times. I had read up earlier to format the SD Card and Wipe and flash this time and did that to no avail. Still getting the same 120 second boot times. It would be awesome to cut out 90 seconds and get it under 30 as someone had got earlier! I actually have moved all my apps (90 or so only 5 weren't there already) to the Internal Memory and have none on the SD Card.

Either way I don't mind if it has to stay like that... I was using BLN on Netarchy 1301 and NSCollab 1012 before and overall experience was great. Now on the new NSCollab 1015 it is running on instant response status with no lag and super speedy browsing. Battery Life was great once got 26 hours on NSCollab 1012 but I am hoping this one will do same or better. RC3 with this latest Netarchy combo is a stable and performance WINNER. BLN working perfect as well and loving it.

Thanks Frank!

Great ROM for people who just want to stay on top of their updated CM7 and Netarchy Kernels that are stable enough/good battery life for daily use while incorporating useful and necessary tools.

Never ran a Quadrant on 1.0.12 or any other version, out of curiosity just installed and ran - got 1238.

Then I went into CyanogenMod Settings and under Performance, checked Enable Surface Dithering (which should be left unchecked to increase performance!), however, after rerunning Quadrant , got a better score! 1482!

Dont think we should make out much from this test?
[Nexus S Android Development] kevin_ngckk:
Although the mark is better in 1.0.12, i feel a big different between these two version( maybe its the work of i format the sd card and sd txt before install the last version. I never do it before.)
