[IDEA] Nexus S ICS Recent Menu

Our device doesn't have a physical recent menu button as that of ICS standard. Long pressing home button is not convenient some times. I have seen some developers providing mod to use search button for recent menu, but that is not the correct way of solving.
Here is my idea.
What about using home button for recent t menu and adding a fixed home link as the first item in recent menu.
Check the screen shot, some thing similar to that.
Waiting for replies from developers.

While it may be a good idea,
I doubt it will be nice to have on a day to day basis. If a toggle to enable or disable this is made then good. If not i think it won't make much of a difference.
Now we have the recent tasks toggle in status bar itself. so.. it depends. But will be nice to have around

But how will you use voice search

This seems like a hassle to me... It makes it longer and more tedious to get to the home screen. You're trading ease of multitasking for ease of getting home. It gets rid of the problem and makes a new one. The search button recents app is so much faster and easier.
I'm not bashing your idea don't get me wrong . I can see potential.... but it kind of seems redundant to me right now.

Agreed.
Now getting back to home takes two clicks. Also, you have to wait for the Recent Apps list to load (which does take some time.)
All so that we have the search key readily available? That key isn't even used as most apps provide a button on-screen for search.
I'd imagine this would only be useful to people who use Voice Commands a lot.

My recent tab has no wait/load time? Try changing the window animation speed. And yeah, most apps integrated a search button to cope with ICS and for general easy of use. I never use voice commands or the search button... Now I finally have a use for it.

Compared to recent apps GB style there is a period of time where the screenshots have to fill in the cache. On ICS, if you select recent apps, I find there is about a 1-2 second wait. After it's done caching if you access the recent apps list again it's instantaneous.
The GB style recent apps list is always instantaneous since it doesn't have to load the screenshots of all the recent apps.

Really? I can't say I've noticed the wait . Even after a boot it seems to come up right away for me. Anywho back on topic... I just don't see a need for this MOD right now :/...

I definitely do not want to click twice to reach the homescreen.

Is there a way to return to the recent apps list that we had before ICS?

This idea reminds me of WebOS

is there anyone who run Temple RUN without lags

if you r running Temple Run without lags can you share your settings

4.IO schedular
5.OC + min/max speeds
6.other settings may help
please share as much details as you can
Thanks

Slim ICS ROM. latest version, with Matr1x 18.5. I have the default scheduler. set at 200/1000 or 1200 with smartassV2. I use the supercharger script with option 5 and lag nullifier.
Other then that, I keep stuff running in the backround to a minimum. On the kernel, I use CFS, but if you are looking for gaming then try using the BFS version.

I just have unrooted nexus s with android 4.0.4 and it runs temple run with little to no lag also don't store it on SD card... makes it slower for some reason

It only lags if i have 3g or wifi on.weird.
•euroskanked with t®inity•

Check my signature. I have my phone Underclocked and I don't have lag or force closes.
I don't experience them with wifi or data on either. Although if you do it could be receiving data from the server or sending data to post your score or something. That would obviously slow it down.
There is only one thing you need to do to get rid of the lag, you don't have to go through the trouble of flashing a new ROM. Just go to your settings. Make sure it isn't on the SD card, move it to USB storage.
Although if you are switching ROMs and everything I'll give you some extra information. I forced GPU rendering. I have v6Supercharge script, option 5 + Nitrolagnullifier. Min free task killer takes 75 MB of RAM to itself. And I have every start-up tweak enabled.

Had no lags with:

Matr1x Kernel 18.5 was laggy and unstable. (tested with CNA, Slim, Brainmasters)

# Flashed Matr1x 18.5 again. I think I had some unstable configurations. Now it runs stable and smooth.

[REQ] Disable Landscape On-screen buttons

There has to be a way to do this... Is it possible to disable the on-screen buttons in landscape view, so they will only appear in portrait? I love them in portrait, but I can't stand the amount of screen the hog in landscape...

It could be as simple as removing the images for landscape views, or making them really small and transparent so you don't see them. Or it could be complicated so you completely remove them from a landscape view.... There has to be something...
I was in another thread and 'mattmanwrx' said that "Yes, change the dimen.xml navigation bar width to 0". If that helps anyone...

Special abilities of ICS kernels

Semaphore kernel:
Semaphore kernel is most overhead-free and low memoryprint kernel for ICS.
Because it has everything as modules. If you don't enable them from Semaphore Manager , they won't increase memory footprint. Even deep idle statistics.
Max OC step is 1000mhz but you can live overclock it to 1300mhz.
It has bm and normal version.
Glitch Kernel:
Overclock is a keyword for this kernel. It has too much steps for overclocking.
Best part is; when I overclock my phone 1580mhz with glitch kernel, my phone is still cold like 1000mhz.
MNICS kernel has 386mb RAM with 720p recording.
Midnight Kernel (Mnics):
Very daily kernel for average use. You can set up too much things with it's own manager.
Unlike other kernels, midnight kernel supports regular OC but not live OC.
No bm version.
Devil Kernel:
A kernel with lots of features and pretty nice for advenced users. You can set governor settings on NSTOOLS. It has 1400mhz step and live oc. This making it highly overclockable. It has selective oc to prevent live oc on low frequencies.
It has cm color and voodoo color - bm and normal version.
Which is faster?
God knows.
Which has more battery life?
God knows.
Which is best?
All are best depends on your needs.
Which kernel you are using?
Devil kernel for OC to 1600mhz.
I have bunch of android devices because of my family. Lots of kernels on too much devices.
We are so lucky. All of them are one of best kernels on XDA.

Yeah, Glitch kernel have been one of the best kernels for me to oc since cm7. I have heard that they try to port it to Nexus S also.
SGS has good kernels,you're right.

Updated with links.

i also love glitch kernel because in cm7 it give the frequency upto 1800 mhz and in pics it gives up to 1500mhz

MNICS-LR = 386Mb
MNICS = 340Mb
"too much" = "devs should remove some options because there are too much of them" !?
Nice thread idea, thanks

I think you made a mistake. Max OC in Semaphore is 1200.

great stuff, thanks...
gentle suggestion: I think perhaps you are using "too much / too many", when you mean "lots of"? The former is a bad thing, the latter good

That's a problem for some users, but I myself never got bootloops after flashing devil. Since a while, I'm flashing with kernel cleaning script before, but it also works without.

T-Mobile kernel. ***********DO NOT FLASH ON YOUR ATT, SPRINT OR VERIZON PHONE***********
Romanbb said:
Heyo
I've compiled a *very* simple kernel for our phones just to play with
001
- O/C to 1.8ghz by default
- insecure
002
- should boot up to 1.5 by default (read more on this below the log)
- raised max clock to 1.89GHz
- lowered voltage on a many frequencies
- added init.d support (busybox needs to be installed to /system/xbin!)
Also I'd suggest having your OC app (like SetCPU) go ahead and set your clock at whatever you want your max to be. thermald (a service which watches your phones temp and lowers it if it gets too hot) seems to be messing with the clocks until you set one after it's all booted. So if you don't want to OC, just set it to 1512000 in the app and click "Set on boot" option or whatever it may be.
================================================================
More to come as I play with it. Seems pretty stable (and warm!) at 1.8 ghz.
Thanks to faux123 & mdeejay for helping me out with a few things
Flash at your own risk. Make sure you have a NANDROID backup. Flashing the stock kernel via ODIN may not be enough to restore your device. You've been warned

This is exciting. An overclocked kernal and some uv/uc is what will make this great device amazing

I don't really care for OC, since 1.5GHZ is SO MUCH POWER.
But I would love to be able to undervolt it to save some battery power throughout the day.
