possibly for MMS images?
can you SS any changes in the About Phone section?

Nice!
....and that would be the reason that I went with a Nexus device.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the improvements are.

Hm...I just checked and I don't see one available. What part of the country are you in?

OTA updates can take a while to reach every single customer, give it a week.

Had your Nexus S 3D maps when you purchased it? If not they must be there now. Can you plz check and let me know?

Damn, now all we anal-must-be-first types like myself are going to be hitting the System Updates menu all day long looking for it.
Thanks a lot!

That's what she said... ;-)
Place two fingers on the screen, drag up or down to change the view. Test it with a city like NYC. The version of Maps with 3D is ver. 5.0.

awesome, cant wait for mines!

Hey guys noticed Jcases' gingerjane was no longer posted in the forum's considering that since I do have previous permission to use his rom as a base I thought I would post my daily driver. This is plainjane with sense 3.0 weather mms and lockscreen i didnt need all the fancy shmancy stuff i just really like the lockscreen shortcuts and weather.
if you want fancy you can follow my kingdom port thread
its just the VZW leak with :
sense 3 lockscreen
mms
and weather​
Thanks to:
Jcase

Cmo022
The only bug it has right now wich i thnk will be fixed when i update lockscreen parts with Seo's new stuff.. the phone does crash when answering a phone call from the lockscreen (not immediatly but after the phone is disco'd)
Download SMS time fix from market if you have issues with timestamps on the rom
Instructions to install
Ensure you have latest GB radio (refer to Jcase thread for warning please)
place rom on root of SD card
wipe dalvik cache
wipe cache
factory wipe
select rom install
reboot and enjoy

so is this radio safe?

Stock is safe.
Question: what kernel is this rom carrying? I'm back and forth from Froyo to GB because of two issues: BT calls breaking occasionally when I answer, and camera stability. Wondering if you're having issues with either.
And when I say camera stability, I mean being able to shoot 20 pictures and not have it freeze or have to pull the battery. Lol.

oh i see i thought this was something different. it uses the radio that people have been warned not to use. thanks

Just as a follow up...sorry for being abrupt there. It just frustrates the crap outta me seeing people in here asking questions that should be known before they ever rooted their phones. There's times when I think this rooting process has become waaaay too easy for people.

Please refer to OP for statement on radios
for kernel this is carrying imeyosons right now but will carry twisteds modded kernel buoy on device I've had best camera results off that one and I take a lot of pictures

Zarboz, people should be thanking you for another ROM to check out.
This uses the same radio ANY other GB ROMs use. There is no reason to **** on the thread and not any of the other GB ROMs.
Plus... There is NO evidence GB or the radio caused a brick.
Lol.

*Facepalm*
All right smart asses. Jcase pulled his ROM since he knew it was using an alpha radio that bricked phones. Using any gingerbread ROM with a connection to data (I.e. Using the alpha radio) gives you a chance to brick your phone. No one knows why this radio causes issues but it does.
Happy now?
I am not trying to defer people away from this ROM I am as happy as anyone else that we have another toy to play with but people need to now there is a serious risk that cannot be avoided by making sure you flash correctly or don't mess with the wrong thing. It just happens. Again Zarboz thank you for the ROM I just want people to have a heads up about the issues.
And just so everyone knows I am currently using this ROM and don't plan on jumping ship anytime soon.

[FIXED] texting still out?

as you guys probably noticed, sprint texting went down a few days ago. only problem, it hasn't come back for me. I'm running Kush's 1.2x ROM and my PRL is 60675, but I don't see any reason what changed to get rid of texting.
is anyone still having problems? if not, is there any advice anyone can give me to fix the problem?
thanks a lot in advance
EDIT: nvm, it came back....whoops. mods, please feel free to delete this

Ive never had a problem. In NY or in Texas. Either roaming or not. Not a single problem.
Sent from my HTC EVO shift 4G running the latest and greatest cyanogen using the XDA app.

Texting works now. The service was restored at about 3PM EST on Monday.

I am running the same ROM as you, though my PRL is 60679 which is slightly different than yours, and I am not having issues. I haven't updated my PRL since maybe July 6th or so which was my last Sense based ROM (Mikshift g executive).
I have no clue how to update a PRL on a nonsense based ROM though. I assume if you flash to a Sense ROM and update that would work but I have no clue if it would stick after a reflash or not or if a standard PRL comes with a ROM... I just don't know enough about what comes with a ROM and what is sort of hardcoded into your phone.
Anyone know if you can update your PRL on an AOSP ROM or even get into the ##data# settings somehow?
I have seen people mention to go into your messaging app setting and clearing the data/cache when they have mms issues maybe that would work for you or try clearing your dalvik/cache in recovery again.

it's back!
alright, seems like Sprint fixed itself for me, just took a little longer than for everyone else. then the only annoying thing was getting every text I had people send to me for the last few days...

You need to flash a sense ROM to update your PRL and then nandroid back to your AOSP ROM. All should be well...

Massive Security Vulnerability In HTC Android Devices (EVO/3D, Thunderbolt, Others)

Yeah, this was on the portal yesterday (maybe today? I forget) At least we don't have this.

Even if we did have that on our device. You can delete the file so you don't have to worry about it

Yes, but what about the users who wish to be unrooted (or are to oblivious to know out exists?) They are hugely vulnerable.

I think the ones in older Sense devices just logs crashes in apps though, while the one in new Sense devices logs everything, giving the old one less important info, and leaving the new one far more vulnerable.

Isn't this where droidwall or the like comes into play? Removal is always best but blocking those unwanted apps from accessing data should be commonplace.

removed. got force close button had to pull battery to reboot.
good to go.

yep, still use a pencil too sometimes to write notes too
i'll have to check it out, hear alot of good things

I am running SSv5. Will I screw up the rom if I remove it with Titanium??

Shouldn't do anything but protect your private info, my friend. If you're nervous about making the change just make a nandroid first.

I removed it from my wife's stock 2.2 shift and it caused a force close loop which I had to pull the battery to fix. Once the phone rebooted everything was fine though and the logger was uninstalled.

D720SPRKE1 radio is actually D720SPRKH1

Not that it is the biggest deal but i saw HERE that the 2.3.7 (GWK74) baseband (radio) for the NS4G is actually suppoed to be D720SPRKH1 and not D720SPRKE1:
(*) As a note, radio version D720SPRKH1 for Nexus S 4G sometimes erroneously reports version D720SPRKE1. If this is the case for your Nexus S 4G, you can locally modify the version-baseband line in device/samsung/crespo4g/board-info.txt accordingly.
It was seriously driving me crazy why the newer radio seemed to go backward in the incremental version number, now i can sleep, lol...

Cool. Thanks for the info. Is there a way to change this on the phone in say root explorer?
