Updated to 2.2.2?!?!?! Where? How? joshkoss made mention of this. Something about thanking imnuts for the update...
Okay, I'll calm down... Thanks, in advance...
(Someone have any chocolate for me? That will calm me down... Yeah right!)

EC07:
Browser based apps acutally are working now, not crashing. IE. TDbank and words with friends.
Way better memory managment. Apps not closing as much!
Better battery life by far!!!
Also EC07 can be rooted via superoneclick

So where it at? I been looking but no new posts or threads in xdaprem apo....

Coming Soon

p3droid made it available in the Team BlackHat app over at mydroidworld.
For those who want to know.

EC07 is from TeamBlackHat, if you feel like getting it immediately and having a stock phone, then go for it and spend the $2 for the app to download it. Otherwise, wait another day or two and we'll have deodexed, pre-rooted, and debloated versions for you to flash.
Based on the upgrade to 2.2.2, I'm thinking that this is roughly equivalent to ED05 for the Fascinate.

Okay, okay, okay... Sorry I became a little over excited.
In all reality, I really appreciate all that you, trailblazer, pastorbennett, and joshkoss have done for the Continuum. I will contribute where I can, however, it is you guys that have really done a bunch of work on it. Yes, I can be patient. Thank you again.

May not be tube right place for this question, but is there anyway that we get some cool roms like cm7? Or is that Technically unreasonable?

whether or not the continuum ever gets aosp is one thing...but froyo leaks probably wont help much...froyo and ideally (although unlikely) gb source would
although who knows...i know imnuts took a crack at continuum mtd awhile ago

I've been runnin ec07 for about 2 days without incident, and even though its not a huge upgrade it does feel less buggy and battery seems to have improved dramatically imo....I rooted using soc and so far awsomeness.....one dumb question: what does deodexed mean?
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum

Deodexed is a non optimized rom meaning it can be themed and modded. Odexed is the exact opposite.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App

I am not quite sure what you mean is "not optimized" There is no optimization differences, other than the fact the first boot is faster on odexed roms than deodexed roms xP
But you are right with the theming

problems with orientation
Has anyone been able to make their home screen rotate with the froyo roms? I saw some others mentioning being able to make their's rotate when tilting the phone sideways but mine will not, any suggestions?

gingerbread theme
I also lost the gingerbread theme when i swapped roms to EC07 (joshkoss beta1) will the gingerbread theme for the ec03 beta3 release work on the ec07?

Absolutely not xP

Used it for 2 days. The only bug I get is randomly I can't access text messages. It requires a reboot.

Yea I love this ROM but I guess its not compatible with Ripple Lock Screen yet or something.When I use it my screen takes like 6 seconds to unlock, really strange as this was not happening with 2.2.1.
Other than that, PERFECT

Weird...Ripple Lock works fine for me on 2.2.2. Did you do a fresh install of the app or did you restore a backup?

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.

Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

What do you guys like about this ROM over CM7?
CM7 froze in the middle of the night, then I missed my alarm, so I need to try something else.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

Agree 100% with what you said about the "bloat".

Good to know. .... I use oxy and one other rom , but lately oxy has been my daily driver due to the sheer speed. Battery life isn't as good but I have my phone oc'd to 1.3.

Have you tried running it at 800Mhz? This is my setting while i'm at work, then back to 1Ghz at home. I see no difference in speed IMO

The only things oxygen is missing that I really like is the 4g notification toggle, and incognito mode on the browser.

any one experience "system not responding" seems like my phone locking up more and more lately using the kernel that the rom comes with using stock launcher other than that everything is good

Anyone have an issue with BLN not working?
It worked once, and that was that.
Thanks

My speaker automatically turns on when i pick up a call or when i call someone. Anyone else having this issue?

New user

New user here, I'd just like to say Hi. I'm usually on the Moto Droid forums. Just got my Nexus S 4g today and I LOVE it.
Rooted running CM7 Nightlies.
I just had a few questions
I understand this phone cant do 720p. Is there a hack that can?
Does RenderFX help battery life? if so, which setting?
What are some roms/kernels you suggest?
Also, ill be working on some Themes for the Nexus S, (I'm a theme designer).
I usually make themes that make the phone look like another phone (iPhone, x10, Atrix 4G)
I'd also like to thank XDA for providing such an active user-base.
Think of a theme and ill try to make it, Thanks

Best battery life rom I found was oxygen. I thought I was going crazy because the battery life was so good. Its great plus you can download voodoo and it has netarchy kernel. Plus its aosp more than stock. Miui is most beautiful theme rich rom but battery life sucks. Cm7 was OK for me just kind of buggy. So I stuck with oxygen. Oh and nope...no camera hacks yet. No HD video or zoom. Sorry.
Hope this helps

That's one thing I'm completely unsure of I know I've been in the middle of a call and all of a sudden it announces a turn ahead. Turn data off (settings then wireless and networks and then mobile data click off) and try to get a direction

I got mine on Friday! There will never be 720p video as its a hardware limitation. In order to fit the nfc chip, Google opted to use a smaller camera without an HD encoder.

For my TASTE, I like decks 1.3d since I had the least amount of issues with, none really. The kernel I have had the best luck with is Matr1x 6.0 cfs. I like the fact that it has voodoo if needed, bln and bld now. Since I updated to 6.0 I have had no lockups or reboots period. I don't change the speed or volting just the govenor (sp). They are smooth together. But for what its worth phones might not like the same thing as another.
I have tried just about every rom on xda for the ns4g.
Decks
Miui
Ice and fire
Stock rooted
Oyxgen
Kings
But I don't want to try cm7 as to battery life when I get well over 12hrs of use daily and no nightlys cause it seems like something is always broke. No offense to either or anyone, just what I prefer.

Maybe try again with a different kernel. I wipe cache once, factory reset once and write dalvik 3 times. Install decks 1.3D with matr1x 6.0.

I'm gonna try matrix but I'm kinda in a bind. I need stock nexus s 4g kernel. I flashed netarchy and backed it up then when I went to delete my miui backup I accidentally deleted my completely stock (besides super user) backup and now I have no stock kernel.

Getting some MIUI love this week.

http://miuiandroid.com/2011/09/miui-1-9-23-changelog-preview/
Looks like we're getting some kernel updates. As a recent MIUI convert, all I can say is WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Just imagine that old squirrel song.

I prefer using Platypus or Glitch personally... Voodoo color profiles and the more flexible Governing/UV/OC settings are nice.

Stable Miui is great.

Well, MIUI seems to be stable enough for everyday use EXCEPT for its BATTERY LIFE. If one could get this Straighten out, it would be awesome !!!!

will new kernel fix battery life

I just can't stand MIUI's browser. -_-

I don't see much of a performance improvement (I don't think there should be one, either), though if you do wipes anyway you're going to avoid a lot of slowdowns.
Shame about the new boot animation, though. I kinda dug the colorfulness of the last one. This is a little too bluish, wooshy, scifi looking, like a wonky portal effect from 10 years ago. Reminds me of the unfortunate tastes that gave the mod community a few too many Matrix themes.

You can change the boot animation back to the old one if you want to. The new alpha-5 boot animation caused me to have a seizure so I found the bootanimation.zip file and replaced the new one with the old one lol
Just get the bootanimation.zip file from one of the previous versions of CM9 (/system/media) and replace.

It's crazy what these guys have done.. I don't know if I could even replace my Epic 4G with anything that's out right now.. We have the only qwerty device on Android 4 on the planet.. ICS, Wimax, and an Overclocked hummingbird makes this phone arguably better than the Droid 4..

I don't know if it's just happening to me, but my phone's time is all over the place. The lock screen stays perfect, but the status bar one stays stuck & I have a widget that lags even longer!
