I'm back! - Nexus S General

I know no one cares, but I traded my NS4G and $ for the EVO 3D when it came out. I knew as soon as I turned it on that it was a mistake. Well, I bought another NS4G off barnacles10 and now I'm back over here. The development on the Evo 3D has died considerably and many people jumped shipped. That's not why I left though. There are some things about the 3D that I liked, but I really missed the NS4G. Now, let's hope Sprint gets the Galaxy Nexus. I'll be eligible for an upgrade on Nov. 1st, but I'll be saving my upgrade for the Galaxy Nexus especially since Sprint did away with yearly upgrades.

Welcome back!!!! Pro Avatar by the way lol.

You should check out Pete's Bugless Beast GPA19 if you liked CM7 on th E3D. It's super awesome, wicked fast, and very vanilla.

I thought this was going to be fixxer announcing his return.

Thanks for the suggestion. I love the speed of this ROM. I miss the theme chooser on CM7 though. I'm not going back to CM just yet, but if I can't figure out how to theme the status bar icons like ics, I might have to go back to CM until we get the ICS upgrade for out phone and someone gets us a stock rooted ICS.

I got flamed to death in those forums for calling anyone who said the e3d was better than the gs2 a blatant idiot. Hey man if its true my trolling is justified! Jk but yea evo owners may as well buy an iPhone too. Idiots lol anywho glad to know that my nexus is also better than the 3d. For once I can say I've found the perfect rom for me. I haven't flashed **** ever since cm 7101 came out. Very happy with my nexus.

Still some kinks that they need to work out, but if you can't wait for ICS you can get an early taste of it!

Yeah I really love my ns4g glad to have you back.

I never said the Nexus was better than the 3D. The 3D boots up in seconds with an AOSP ROM on it. The 3D is by far superior hardware, I just got sick of the stale development and the little kid games. When toastcfh gets all the bugs worked out and the 3D gets to RC and nightly stage, I might go back. I haven't decided yet. I do know I have an upgrade tomorrow, but I am saving it for when/if Sprint gets the Galaxy Nexus.

I suggest looking into Jonathan's carbon series ROM. It is essentially a skinned version of oxygen 2.3.1. Made to resemble ICS. Can check it out over at rootzwiki.

Thanks for the suggestion bro. I never thought of doing that. Thanks for offering more detail, but not necessary. Worked flawlessly BTW. Thanks!

I'm new here as well. Traded my evo4g on Craigslist for a ns4g. Awesome phone. Handles 4g alot better than HTC.

His Bugless Beast rom for the OG Droid is legendary in the Android community..he's almost like another Cyanogen apparently.

What makes his involvement so great is that he makes really good roms, put it this way. The Droid 3 is out and people are still rocking the OG Droid with Bugless beast. Yeah he's been here since the beginning but this means he'll be making roms for our NS4Gs
Dude you gotta try his Rom its freaking awesome. It's super fast and has the best battery life. Can't wait to see what additions he has in store in the future

you're already running it ? oh it must be the nightly build

For all those that are unrootable.

So, since you guys cannot root at this moment, I thought, why not make a thread about what exactly you are going to flash the instant you get root? So here it is. Be specific, down to the last mhz and themes...
I know once I get root, I'll flash CM7 with the Synergy theme on the market and the Tiamat kernel...
Have Fun

Patience fellas that's all it takes is patience, soon there will be root for 2.3.3.
I will jump in...
As soon as it happened.. I have 3 guys at work that bug me 2x a day for me to root their phones.
I will start with one and work my way around the store.
I want my kingdom Rom back so bad its been like 2 months from the time I had root and that Rom was just getin good so I know it has to be perfict now
Kush Deck, whatever the latest release is (I don't torture myself keeping up with the thread right now), and the Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC kernel.
Then I will breathe a heady sigh of relief, make a nandroid backup to use as a daily driver, and start looking for the latest and greatest of everything and start my old flashing ways again.
Synergy will be my first choice. I liked all the betas,but then started having heat related reboots, went into sprint and the rest is history including my ability to root...
I was using VR Kingdom so I would definitely try synergy and Kings shooter port.....urghhh I hate not being rooted!

Seeking devs for work on ICS port

Now that cm7 seems close, which means a working AOSP kernel seems closer, any devs wanna work with me to try to port ICS?
All the "real" dev's aren't gonna go anything until ics source comes out. Noone wants ics...because as soon as ics is ported, people are gonna whine about not having cm9.
At the rate our cm7 is going we might actually be part of the cm9 release. Of course this is wishful thinking

We should work more on getting CM7 support official.
ICS is supposed to be similar to Gingerbread API, so if it's official then support should be adopted with the move to CM9.

No I do too. It's just to early right now. Why port an unreleased sdk version of android? And then have all that man power down the drain when cm9 comes out.

^ this. You've got to look beyond. I totally agree here, we're so close with Deca's work on CM7 Kang to have it official, that the resources available to us should be embraced. Once Gingerbread is available, getting CM7 official should be everyone's goal, that is, if you want a fully working ICS rom for our epic in the future, and not a half-assed ICS SDK Port. Yeah, the Nexus SDK Port is a super-nice preview of ICS, but really, they already have official GB, so the port from ICS was much more realistic for them. Not to mention their port didn't have to worry about the Touchwiz Framework or whatever. Anyway, not to be a downer, if you guys round people up, then go for it, best of luck. Just know that if you prioritize what's much more important right now, it will lead to what you want in the end anyway.

Almost there for MIUI. Same goes for CM7. I'll probably finish MIUI by Thanksgiving. Me and bxfxf are working on ICS though too.

Well that's really good to hear. CM7 development should be almost done by now...I'm kind of shocked that we haven't had video recording and video playback fully working after 3 weeks of having source.
Maybe I'm just impatient, or maybe it's because we don't have that many devs working on cm7 to begin with. Either way I just hope the Epic will keep getting worked on...

Anyone that wants to help on the port, the fascinate dev pmed me his port so if you pm me, I can send it to you. Also to people that think this is a waste, we can probl use this rom with ics kernel when we get that
I have had my Epic for a Year now...always enjoyed using the Roms, Kernals and fixes the devs here come out with. If I can be any help bringing ICS to the Epic I will gladdly help.
I'm a programmer, but I've never done anything for android.
I'd like to help someone with something, if ppl think another hand on deck would offset having to show me how to do...pretty much everything first.

Finally after 1.5 yrs I'm rooted what now?

Wow!!! I finally rooted and upset now that I waited so long. I have had my Evo 1.5 yrs now and still looks brand new now its like a new phone with the root I'm running mikg 3.0 its awesome is there anything else I'm missing out in?

Idk.. ..maybe try out ICS? Most are still in alpha but I think jaredthegreat has his in beta. Worth giving it a shot. I'm running it and have no problems whatsoever besides the reported bugs.

Try some apps that only work on Rooted phones. AdFree Android comes to mind, LBE Privacy Guard as well.
Most definitely check out UOT Kitchen as well ( http://uot.dakra.lt ) I think I have flashed more files I made on UOT then ROMS.

Just saying hello...

I just traded my D2G for my brother's Evo 4G (he's on VZW and wants the keyboard). I still use my Inc2 as my primary, but the Evo will be fun to have also. I plan to do something special for you guys in the future, probably a theme for something. Anyway, I'm still trying out ROMs, so if you have any suggestions, let me know. I'm trying Warm 2.3, AOKP (which I have on the inc2 sometimes), and both Virus ROMs, as well as synergy. I was a part of the Inc1 community for a while as well.
Welcome. AOKP is nice, but it personally gave me reboots, and some others as well, just a note.

Make your own, or check out the MIUI Screenshot thread in Android Themes, some people post their backups or themes they've made. I've made an icon theme from a mixture of sets (Aeolus, Illest, Purity, a couple from Faenza) and some I've made. It's really easy once you figure out how to do it.
