Getting a nexus s 4g - Nexus S General

Hello all I have a samsung epic and will be getting a nexus s 4g. I just wantedto introduce my self and say hello to all and hope to learn from all you like I did from a lot of guys on the epic forum. I did have one question tho. Does the nexus play good with Mac? Or is it like the epic to where heimdal won't recognize the phone.? I hope u guys welcome me with open arms and can't wait to hop on this awesome divice. Thanks.

What's up guys! Esteway, you will learn a whole new way to root install recovery etc. Once you get cwm on board just go about flashing as normal. Shabbypenguin made a one click root to make it easier but its almost too easy
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I just made the same switch and am happy with the phone. Rooting is a bit trickier at first but fastboot is quite cool and easy to use. Read the rooting instructions carefully.... I scared myself a few times. You won't need odin or heimdall anymore.

I haven't tried this rom since I'm working on an EC05 theme, but from what I read on the support thread on ppcgeeks, this thing is much improved over i3.
I have some issues with as far as themeing the rom before flashing it and that battery issue is still present(when you plug it up while its off the batt. icon doesn't show it charging even though it is charging)..... other than that its pretty good..... although its exactly like rc10

Rooting Service

I figure to keep people from posting threads after threads saying "please help I bricked my epic" I figured it be easier to have someone do it for them. Since I have plenty of time I figured I do this. If you would like me to root your device simply pm and I will give you instructions on how I will remotely control your pc (if I do it remotely then make sure you have a nonstock usb cable for example a blackberry micro usb) or you can send it to me. If you send via ups etc then you'll be paying for back and forth.*Disclaimer*if anything happens which more than likely WON'T its not my fault BUT will try my best to fix it.
I doubt this will take off but why not put it out there.
* Now know how to root the LG Optimus S, Samsung Transform, and the Evo * spread the word...

Jus throwing this out there since i cant get into development myself yet. If some of the talented devs for the OG epic would wanna try to port this to our phones. I mean we got damn near ever other rom that been comin out so why not this one. Here is a link if someone wants to read up on it like i said jus seeing if anyone is interested in trying to port. From what i read its based of CM10.1 so i dont see why we wouldnt be able to use it. http://www.chameleonos.org/index.php
