Some things not right on CM7. What rom are you using?
Call wonks, portrait / landscape issues, lockups, just tired. Need a superuser rom.
What's problem-free with audio boost?
None of those problems here, running CM7 7.0.2.1
Same here. None of those for me on 7.0.2

Flashed 7.0.2 yesterday on my D1, and today flashed back to Simply Stunning 5.2. The 7.0.2 build just doesn't work for me... it's responsive, snappy, and stable....oh, accept that it dumps my homescreen Widgets whenever it rebooted or after prolonged periods of having the screen off (other have this issue as well). I also couldn't manage to get Wireless Tether working on it, even after an uninstall, reinstall, and fresh binaries set up. Other than not having a set of usable homescreens, it seems great though. I'll wait for a new build, and give it another shot...a rare miss from CM.

Big improvements on 7.0.2.1. Most of my previous issues seem to be gone.

I'll have to check it's out then. I, like a lot of others, was really bemused by the lack of stability. Considering it took so long to get CM7 for the Droid, I was expecting the first release to be well tested and really amazing. Hopefully the issues have been hammered out.

Been using formels MIUI. If you do go MIUI i would say go with a home replacement like launcherpro/ADW. Cant stand the normal homescreen of MIUI
Dropped CM7 at 7.0.3.... it just wasn't working out for me on a lot of levels. I found Liquid Gingerbread though, and its been absolutely amazing! None of the occasional bloat that comes with CM7, and it's surprisingly more customizable. I was also averaging a 1013 quadrant score on the stock kernel (800 MHz), vs around 825 with CM7. Most importantly, it doesn't drop 3g, which means I can actually use Wireless Tether! All in all, I think I'll be sticking with Liquid for a while...and did I mention? Not a single FC in the 2 weeks I've been on it!

The CM7 nightlies have finally rid the wonk and the call delay should be fixed in the next nightly.
since a few months I went over to the RoDrIgUeZsTyLe MIUI mod, and by the looks of it right now, I won't be going back.
It's faster and my battery lasts longer.
I've been using cm7 nightly's and get weird lock/unlock issue. Buttons light up, but the screen stays dark.
Rather annoying, I could use a new ROM as well.

this is a bug they are trying to kill. when this happens and i was trying to unlock my device, i just wait a few seconds to let the screen lock itself again which is indicated by the 4 button lights going back off. then press again and the screen should turn on properly this time, swipe to unlock, done.

Where i download liquid ginger rom for nexus
Thanks
I would also like to know where i can get the liquid ginger rom.
Evervolv. I switched to it from cm7 due to the same issues OP is running into.
Call wonks, portrait issues, freezes, no 90 degree... after every update i give it a try and end up back to 6.1.1
From The G Slate
I'd use Blandroid if my power button worked... D:
Tried installing blandroid but rom wouldn't take. It kept installing CM7. Tried rom manager and boot off sd card. Errored out even with signature verification on or off.
Looks like liquid ginger is for the evo.

The Nexus S is quite possibly the best but most frustrating phone I've ever had. I love the hardware and the android OS. I still get random reboots, sometimes sms notifications never show up, and sometimes when I get a phone call the phone becomes unresponsive.
I've been using the latest NSCollab rom for several versions and have never over/under clocked. I clear the dalvik cache after every update and clear data/restore with titanium backup whenever necessary.
I'll feel like I've been doing everything correctly, yet I'm still left with a phone that gives me a lot of grief. What's the problem here? How can I fix this? This is extremely frustrating with no obvious solution.
I had a lot of problems with the nexus s... Now i have a galaxy sii, but i still have the nexus. Using the nscollab, i had a looooot of problems, now the phone are with the stock 2.3.4, in my tests, everything is fine. I will sell it now.

I don't know what kernel that rom uses but that and settings on voltages make the whole difference in stability. Something like stock rom with stock kernel or cm7 with stock or netatchys kernel are always good choices and will give you stability.
Just IMHO

Truth of the matter is that I've yet to come across a ROM that's rock solid. I've tried them all and always had either lots of random reboots, bootloops, or sluggishness.
I went back to stock last Thursday and it's been butter smooth since. No problems or anything of the sort.

The Oxygen ROM is very stable aswell.
i tried several roms, but after all i came back to stock, it is stable and fast.. I do miss many features from cm7, but i guess i can live without it.
currently i'm trying to find a kernel with a battery life as good as stock one... i really miss bln ...
All I'm saying look into your voltage settings. Each phone will work different and you have to play with adjusting them. It also takes some time and patience.

No matter what rom I use I end up going back to stock. I don't even think the net kernel is good enough.

no ROM I've tried has ever compared to stock, especially 2.3.4, when it comes to stability.
I tried Many ROMs but all before 2.3.4 (end of April?) and none was able to run for more than a few days without some kind of reboot/bootloop etc.
2.3.4 has been running flawlessly ever since.
Current uptime is like 1100+ hrs and that too cause i had to remove battery to change SIM card.
Hi,
I have installed NSCollab 1.0.35 on a week and have not problems on my Nexus S.
To resume, i had some endless bootloop and a lot of reboot on long calls.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
My 2 cents:
I'm on NSCollab 1.0.34, Netharky 1.3.4, KB3, OV to 1.2 Ghz, UV with protonvoltage. Gingerbread 2.3.4
I find this combo much faster than the stock one, smooth and pretty stable. Actually I have some reboots when I stress a lot my device, but they are rare.
So I don't want to renounce to Cyanogen features as the stock rom was really slow IMHO and I will give a try to NSCollab 1.0.35 very soon!
No problems in answering, good radio performance, faster than light (quadrant score: 3600) !! I can survive with a couple of reboot in a week!!
Too much porn?

Why don't you people stop confusing CM7 with a stable ROM? CyanogenMod and netarchy kernel are probably the most crappy android software that were ever made.
I suggest you use Oxygen ROM and Jame Bond kernel. No fancy quadrant benchmarks, stock ROM with basic functions like notification power control and text reflow in browser, zipaligned and all that stuff. Delete setcpu, delete juicedefender and other crappy so called battery savers, do not undervolt and do not touch the CPU frequency. Just let the ROM run like it is supposed to, don't fill it with all the bloatware you find on market that is said to increase performance or battery life, all they do is eating system resources.
I have yet to find a better combination like this for the nexus S, I am using the ROM since 3 days now without a single reboot/FC/freeze/bootloop. I am playing order and chaos MMO 2-3 hours and I can go through the full day without problems, the phone is responsive and simply works, no fancy sh*t.
Using the stock, all is fine..

I have to start off by saying, i am new to alot of this. I have flashed CM9 beta and fb15 and love it. However, I was noticing that many people who flash custom roms, also flash custom kernels. Is there a big advantage to flashing a custom kernel like shadow kernel to cm9? what would i notice as an advantage? is there a disadvantage to it? Thank you
There's an advantage in the extra feature that stock kernels do not allow for such as overclocking and undervolting, voodoo color and sound. Depending on what the kernel includes. =] the only disadvantage is the lack of support from stock ROM builders.. meaning any problem you have running an alternative kernel should and shall only be addressed in your kernel's thread.

Well imo its definetly worth it. Bbelos' kernel is pretty close to stock.. and runs decently smooth. His voodoo color defaults make the screen come alive and takes that greenish tint most our samoleds have away/ adjustable via voodoo sound app. Also undervolting it will improve batt life as well as underclocking when you need it. =] all in all I would flash it.

That is correct. You don't need to wipe anything. Just boot into cwm and flash the zip . Tell me how it is, btw, I'm considering it as well.
well, i booted in to cwm and loaded the kernel from the zip file. loaded fine, and then told me to wipe the cache and dalvik. i did that. rebooted the phone and all worked well. only bad thing is the screen is much dimmer and darker. i need to find out how to brighten the screen. it is the difference of watching a plasma tv or going to a DLP tv. Have you heard any solutions out there to adjust the screen?????? other than that, i have not noticed any performance difference yet.

You need to download voodoo sound from the market and spend about half an hour fiddling with the color options.

There isn't a major difference in performance from my experience with overclocking. Spent about an hour fiddling with voodoo color and have it looking amazing. The voodoo sound mods are the main reason I like this kernel. It brings out the true power of the audio processor and its frankly amazing. Audio sounds amazing out of my Denon ahd-2000's.

hmm, no kidding. i will have to try the audio out on my denon amp. Out of curiousity, what do you have your voodoo color set too. I would be interested in seeing how it looks on my epic, if you don't mind sharing your settings...
Hope this is the right place to consult.
I am on CM9 Beta3 with FC09. The reason why I flash a kernel is because I have no 3G connection. I tried to update the profile using the temporary FC09 SDcard ROM from the CM9 blog but it fails me. After flashing the ShadowKernel, it does not seem to work too. I am bothered with the green flash during screen locks.
How can I go back to stock CM9 kernel? Flash the Beta3?

So I have an Evo which I don't use for anything. It has not number on it and I don't need it as a back up. I use it only for listening to music (speaker only) and taking and watching videos. Sometime I may connect it to wifi to download a certain app or to watch something on YouTube. So this thread could be called a survey I guess? But what's the best ROM out here for me to put on the phone in my case? I basically want battery life + performance + louder speaker (the Evo speaker sucks compared to my other phones sadly). I flashed the 4 kornerz (sorry if I misspelled) ROM and flashed the beats audio and the underworld kernel, but noticed a lag after flashing that kernel so I re-flashed the stock kernel.
I have not had time to actually use it and test out how it goes with my usage but I think it'll be alright?
I have also used Energy ROM (kills my batttery too quick) and CM7 (phone speaker isn't loud enough) so what other ROMs would you recommend for me? Or what mods or kernels would work with 4kornerz ROM that would ensure better battery life?

That's exactly the kind of answer I'm looking for thanks =). I thought about trying an ICS build but wasn't too sure if I wanted to because I thought it might have some bugs or be laggy or have not so great battery life or sound quality decreased. But I'm going to test out 4 kornerz for a bit then will try your settings next. Thanks for the reply =).
Wait.. what's the ROM your using lol? When I first read it I thought you were talking about one of the ICS builds but I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm not very familiar with every ROM out here because I barely use the Evo but can you post the link to the ROM? Or at least tell me what's the title of its thread lol? And also your kernel pleeeaseee.

Decks 1.3d is his famous Gingerbread build. Search for it and you can't miss it. The thread title has decks, and. 1.3d in it I believe. It is legendary for being the best AOSP Gingerbread ROM with the best battery life and stability. Coupled with that kernel the above user mentioned, it will give you tremendous battery life! Much better than ICS at this beta phase.

Well I did find it and I will try flashing it as soon as I can. Is the stock kernel that comes with it the one that was recommended to me? Or where can I find the other kernel?
And I'm just kinda starting to get confused. Some people are saying 1.3 and some are saying 1.3d. Which one is better..? Logically thinking I would say 1.3d would be better since it probably just contains little fixes and nothing major updated but those little fixes may be a big problem to me without them so I think ill try out 1.3d unless I am told not to.

if you were having issues with cm7 you may experience the same with Deck's as his is just a custom version of cm7, yet designed to operate on Sprint more effectively.
You say the speaker wasn't loud enough with cm7? Did you adjust the settings in DSP manager?
I have 3 EVO's, 2 operational and on is my 3 year old's "phone," he is an angry bird addict! I have the phone on constant airplane mode and simply turn on wifi when I would like to connect. We are constantly asking him to turn it down so no sound problems here.
I would recommend the cm 7.2 rc1 from the cyanogenmod website, and don't forget gapps.
Again Deck's is based on cm7 though he hasn't updated in a long time and there have been many many improvements to the cm source since he stopped building. Cm7 is also still a work in progress, they are not dropping support for it, though they may bring cm9 to the EVO eventually 7 is the current supported version.
Honestly, I think the advice above is sound, but I still recommended deck 1.3 with Mason v14 kernal without hwa. Or if you want more battery, flash the slightly less stable v15rc G version. G for nonhwa. And then I would clock down to about 850mhz as your Max (don't know the exact value but the performance settings in deck shouldn't be too hard for you to figure out) and then use the wheatley kernel if you're on v15rc or intellidemandx if you're on 14. Smartassv2 would be my recommended governor, but it doesn't play well with media when the screen is off so you take your choice.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Well sound was only a problem to me because I have an Epic 4G which, stock v.s stock, is louder. And I've tried CM7 on my epic and loved it but the sound was a problem the same as on the Evo. But I guess I would give up sound for better battery life lol. I'm going to flash deck's 1.3 right now. But I still can't seem to find the kernels you guys are talking about can someone please post the link to the thread?

One more thing. Not sure if its the ROM or my phone but the power button seems to not work so well. It turns off the screen normally but turning the screen back on is the problem. It doesn't turn on by just pressing it I have to hold it down and then the power menu pops up and the screen turns on.

What ROM and kernel did you flash? Sleepiness is due to kernel undervolting issues... or kernel related at least. Bluetooth would be the same I would gather... sounds like stock kernel for you!
My original EVO loved underclocking, and I could squeeze a few precious hours out of the battery with the right kernel, governor and voltages. My replacement however will not undervolt at all... not even 25 mA... so each evo is different. I am of the opinion that stock is going to give you the best overall performance.

But on the kernel's thread it said for "AOSP ROMs" and I did flash it and it worked. It does say it would also work on ICS tho.

Here is what you want...
CM 7.2
Wipe:
All/factory reset
Cache
dalvik cache

Then flash the ROM, no gapps for you if you don't want.
Mason says it apparently works on GB or ICS, but I don't see how that could actually be possible... though I am not a kernel dev... but your issues do seem to stem from a kernel issue...
I'd imagine using a sense kernel based rom like swagged out stock N would get you the best musical results, since it has a kernel that was specifically built for the EVO, and not something AOSP generic. Maybe throw the zip file in for beat audio, or use poweramp instead.
Swagged out stock N 2.0.9 with universal aggressive lionfish 1.8 is doing REALLY well for me. It uses the go launcher, instead of sense.
haha luckily ICS is based off of a GB Kernel, Tiamat. Mason has two flavors of his popular kernel, the "G" version which CAN be used for Gingerbread AND NON-HWA ICS Roms, and the "I" version which is strictly used for HWA enabled ICS roms.
also jamieg71 has aosp gb build that is being updated more recently if you wanna check that out havent run it personally but if its anything like his ics build it will be great
So I used to be on Dark Unicorn Resurrected 2.5 (ICS) and recently upgraded to JellyBellyG1.1 (JB). Specifically it was this version of the rom without the nav buttons "3b. Dark JellyBellyG1b (Without Navigation Buttons)".
Before on my phone I could play videos from sites like vimeo and pinkbike no problem directly in my browser (Opera Mobile) they also worked on the new Opera Mobile 14 so it's not that. The Youtube app works and watching youtube videos from the browser plays no problem, it seems like it's just videos from other sites.
It seems like the problem is playing .mp4 files since I get an error saying "sorry this video cannot be played". I downloaded MX Player and it does play the videos (if I download them to my SD card first then select it to play via MX Player) that I want but I want to stream videos directly from my browser.
Well it looks like I can't post a url to a sample video because I don't have 10 posts but look for the "redbull uci-dh-world-cup-season-teaser" video. This is the one I'm using as a base to see if I can get other (non YT) videos to work (it does the same with pinkbike and vimeo videos as well). I get the error message above when trying to play it in the browser (note that it also does this in Opera and the stock Browser as well, I'll be trying out Chrome later today to see if that fixes it but I just like Opera as a browser for some reason).
Could it be some sort of codec issue? AFAIK droids should be able to play mp4 container files natively and it definitely did work when I was on Dark Unicorn so I suspect it's something with the Jellybelly codecs or whatever.

The Youtube app works and watching youtube videos from the browser plays no problem, it seems like it's just videos from other sites.
It seems like the problem is playing .mp4 files since I get an error saying "sorry this video cannot be played". I downloaded MX Player and it does play the videos (if I download them to my SD card first then select it to play via MX Player) that I want but I want to stream videos directly from my browser.
Well it looks like I can't post a url to a sample video because I don't have 10 posts but look for the "redbull uci-dh-world-cup-season-teaser" video. This is the one I'm using as a base to see if I can get other (non YT) videos to work (it does the same with pinkbike and vimeo videos as well). I get the error message above when trying to play it in the browser (note that it also does this in Opera and the stock Browser as well, I'll be trying out Chrome later today to see if that fixes it but I just like Opera as a browser for some reason).
Could it be some sort of codec issue? AFAIK droids should be able to play mp4 container files natively and it definitely did work when I was on Dark Unicorn so I suspect it's something with the Jellybelly codecs or whatever.

How about trying a newer ROM. I think you prefer AOKP judging by the two ROMs you mentioned.
Try Cnotes aokp its 4.1.2 I think.

Ha, you would be correct. I never got into Paranoid but I was on AOSP/CM7 before and it was alright but I think AOKP's ROM control layout is more logical and has more cutting edge features. Kind of like Fedora which is more cutting edge and "shiny" vs CentOS which is more stable/long term and for "Enterprises".
I'll try out Cnotes AOKP ROM. But do you think I should go PACman or stick with his AOKP ROM since that's what I like?

Since you said you like tweaks I would say PAC. Because it has pretty much all the tweaks from 3 big roms.
And JellyBelly is a bit old; its Android JB, but 4.1.1, Cnotes AOKP is 4.1.2, and PAC is 4.2.2. lol. The only bug is probably the headset overheating, but even that's not that bad when your phone is plugged in.
Hope I helped!
Okay so it looks like a new ROM solved my problem and I went with PACman, gotta get used to the Paranoid stuff still but it seems pretty straightforward and all the AOKP stuff works. I'm still not sure why it did that with my original install though, maybe it was some electric gremlins messing the original install or something.

Yeah you did. But now I'm having another problem with PACman Glacier. So I flashed 22.3 and it came with the 3.0.7x kernel which I was having a few problems with, I then wiped cache/dalvik and flashed the 3.0.66 coderzs kernel. Now on occasion it will say "Unfortunately system UI has stopped" and take like a minute to reload the launcher, lockscreen, widgets, etc. Is there another kernel I could try? Maybe downgrade further to 3.0.61 and hope it's more stable?
I'm not exactly sure why the above happens and I don't know the exact steps to replicate it but basically from idle/sleep it will do that when I try to turn the device back on. Could it be the governors maybe? I'm using Ondemand and noop (coderzs doesn't have smartassv2 or anything like that).

Well, PAC runs off of .66 and higher kernels so no .61
But older versions may be able to run kernels like that. Try 22.0.1 and under. 19.3 was the best version according to some posts. Try the .61 on that

Are there other standalone kernels that I can try flashing? Or should I try to do some test cases to replicate and submit some logs?

There are yes and no
U can find kernels to flash but doesn't mean it will be 100% compatible
paranoid ROM has no working camera also the aokp rom is actually 4.2.1 but it has a problem where after running it for a few hours it gets super slow and lags till it freezes
I have been testing all job ROMs except codename android or cm10 from 0.0 (which notorious, the link in the resource bible is wrong for codename)
Even though I would love to be on a 4.2.2 ROM for the stability I'm on andromadus cm10 it is rock solid should be official I think

Try Albinomans CM 10.1. It's 4.2.2 and its solid. I've been running it for about a week with no issues.
Its sweet.

Well actually there is an issue basically the only one but its kinda big.
Dropped signal with missed call and sometimes random signal drops. Happens on all the 4.2.2 ROMs.
I am actually now testing the cm10 by 0.0, I was getting system ui fc on andromadus cm10. So far its running perfect and modified a track pad wake zip to work on the ROM.

This is true. I've just been using airplane mode to restore it. Seems to work. Declining calls won't drop... But obviously you need to be near the phone.
I'm surprised though at how good the 4.2.2 ROMs run on this phone, better than a lot of other older ROMs we have. As much as I would love to to be on that ROM I have to stick with something more stable though. I'm just glad I'm still on jb

First post so go easy on me ...
So been also coming across the obvious "signal drop after missed call issue" and the always popular "headphone overheat bug" in all the JB ROMs for Glacier. Been through CM10.1, CM10.2, Carbon, Albinomans etc. and always come across them. It's been verified that it is in the kernel of course. I have a logcat for both that I would love to get to the devs out there working on these ROMS. Not enough posts of course to get them to any dev. Any help is greatly appreciated!

+1 for the logs
Although these are helpful, try googling how to dsmeg or dmeg or something like that
Those commands are like Logs but are more helpful when it comes to kernel issues.

Ah yes I seem to recall reading something about that. Thanks N_otori0us_ I'll do that asap. :good:

Here is a dsmeg kernel log. I think I found it right. HS_MNG seems to handle the headset commands. Though I was using earbuds with a mic and found that it was saying "no mic was found"...don't quote me on that... still new at all this code stuff. Will get the signal drop dsmeg when I experience the bug again. :fingers-crossed:
Regarding signal drop on JB ROMs, I'm currently on coderz carbon ROM 4.3 latest build. The drop happened again after a missed call. Just curious though, has anyone addressed that while signal is dropped, and you try to make a call, it says to "first turn airplane mode off" when clearly it is not in airplane mode. Wondering if this is just an normal android occurance when there is no service, or if this observance could help in any way. I apologize for the noobness...still learning
