Nexus S 4G

Looks like our devices are finally dead. Time to Upgrade

I'll wait for a (stable) KK ROM before agreeing ;+)

lol, well the Nexus S 4G Developing Forum is pretty much dead except for the avatar rom really. I saw a couple people trying to get a stable 4.3 working but that was weeks ago. as for 4.4 i read that someone said you can use the Crespo version but you have to change a couple things and even with those changes it barely works

Yeah, this is a sad thing... If I had more time I'd try to build something...

I'm using a non stable version of kitkat rite now and I love it. It feels as fast as it was when i first got it two years ago. And when art is finally standard, it will go even faster

I'm attempting to build CM11 for crespo4g right now.
We'll see how this goes.
I'm anticipating I'll run into at least as many issues as are plaguing the crespo. Plus WiMAX hasn't been working on any 4.3 builds, so I doubt we'll have it either. I'll post it here when I'm done, don't think I have enough cred on xda to post on the 4g dev section

CM 10.2 is very active. Getting Nightly updates, but it runs a little slow.
CM10.3, KK, should be better.

My build failed, trying to work from crespo cm11 sources and crespo4g cm10.2 solely for the radios. Anybody wanna try and help me figure this out? I've built for mako, but that's a whole different animal.

I forked CyanogenMod's CM10.2 crespo4g repo, and added a couple changes to update storage for KitKat, but most of the device specific stuff draws from the crespo tree, which is already at version 11.0 in CM's sources. I'm gonna try to start a build right now. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'll also open a thread in the ns4g dev section as soon as I can.
If anyone wants to contribute code/tips/general know-how to this project it would be greatly appreciated. Also since I'm working from the 10.2 codebase, I expect the WiMax issue to carry over. That's something I'm willing to work on when I get it booting.
I also tried a dirty port from this discontinued crespo rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526740. It just bootloops.
Here's my repo. Feel free to fork/make pull requests/etc...

can't help with building it but i can be the first to try it when you're done...

My thoughts would be to edit the bootclass path in the kernel from the nexus s ROM to work for the nexus s 4g, as well as whatever else code is important in the kernel, then get it booting since in order to dirty port a ns ROM to the ns4g all you have to do is swap kernels and then you'll have basic functionality, but that's my two cents, I could be missing something important idk

Just installed adityaxavier's unofficial CM11. Everything is working, including WiFi to 3G switchover (which wouldn't work in any CM10.2 build or Slimbean 4.3 build).
Wimax 4g is not yet working, but that is a minor issue for most.

I hope the Nexus S 4G development won't die out any time soon. This NS4G is my first smartphone, and I use it as a wifi only device. It was a friend's old phone, donated to me. I also have an original Motorola Droid (also from another friend's old phone stash), which I rooted and modded with custom ROMs and stuff. The Droid is now my little brother's first smartphone (also wifi-only). It's been a great learning experience, AND we get useful devices to use too! It's why I love it here at XDA so much.
NOT Dead! Because I found a few "newer", great ROMs to try out still. ROMs I tried and thoughts:
- adityxavier's unofficial CM 11, build 11 --> great, fast, smooth; but I get those errors prompts saying "process com.phone.android stopped working" after boot up. I tried a clean install, as well as a dirty install after factory reset. Still getting those errors.
- jc4gavejc's AOSP 4.4 for Nexus S 4G --> same as above, but also very simplistic, lean, and clean-looking, which I loved. I would've kept this ROM if not for the same error prompts "process com.phone.android stopped working"; or "process com.messaging.android stopped working". I'm beginning to think my phone can't handle 4.4 builds somehow.
- Slim Bean 4.3 --->fast, smooth, stable, minimalistic-looking, with none of the extra features that I'd likely not use anyways. I'm using it now as my stable ROM until I see a working android 4.4 that I can try out again.
- Helly Bean 4.3 -->Also a fast and stable ROM on my crespo4g device. Lots of extra features from Paranoid Android, which I don't really use. My stock battery charging animation disappears with this one. It seems to power on during charging, even after I turn it off.
- Official CM 10.2 --> easiest to install b/c of the cminstaller, but noticeably slower than the above custom ROMs.
Once I have enough posts, and clearance to do so, I'll post these comments, with more details, in their appropriate threads, to help give feedback on the ROMs I tried. Thanks to all the developers that spent time and efforts on these!

Hey man =) firstly i really like to say thanks a lot for the guide. but I have an issue. I tried to port GS3 CM10.2 4.4 rom to HTC one x CM 10.2 RC1 rom. Even i tried your 2nd section I'm still stuck at boot loop. the closest phone is one x+ and it has only aosp 4.4 so i can't use that. by displays GS3 sounded much better and i tried that. I'm still stuck. Was i supposed to use something else instead of another CM kitkat rom? Thanks!

Yeah, this guide will work on 4.3 cm10.2 and any 4.0+ rom( only difference is the priv-app folder). The reason of your issue may be because the device your porting from. I here alot of people port gs3 roms using the nexus 4. Try using the nexus 4.
And remember to use stable roms. Roms that are like in alpha stage my not be able to port saying some apps, permission,etc still relies on unneeded libs.

thank you.I will be try.You are maked a very good work.Thanks again.

hey man. I tried stable rom this time. I used CM 10.1.3 as base (device is endeavoru) and I used crdroid CM11 rom from mako (nexus4) but with or without the fix it doesn't boot I'm always stuck on boot logo. can you give a link for porting which would be best? Thanks a lot!

I am just curious. Are you installing rom via fastboot or recovery?

anyone have 4.4 working on atrix 4g?
Has anyone got 4.4 to boot on atrix i heard you need an updated cwm recovery so i have 6.0.4.7 recovery now so if any new info plz post. Willing to test if anyone has a build

Ok to reword my last post so no confusion. I am not asking for a finished shiny new rom to play with i am offering my device to test the things any dev has on atrix 4g regarding cm11 i also know from reading other posts that the older cwm recovery doesnt play well with cm11 i couldnt even get itvto flash 4.3.1 so had to update to 6.0.4.7 sorry getting off subject but as someone here posted they got it to install but no boot well would the recovery have anythingvto do with that. I want to learn alot more then i know but no pc right now when i do get one i will get more into this so i can contribute my knowledge as well. Thanks in advance to any response

I too am willing to offer my Atrix for testing. But will as soon as we have a stable 3.1.10 kernel.

To correct myself i have cwm 6.0.4.6 not 6.0.4.7 sorry for the mistake
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

even if you manage to build a proper cm11 rom for atrix, there are still kernel issues to be solved. My personal advice is to work on kernel adjustments and tweaks (or whatsoever.)

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a dev. However the problem as I see it is that you're working on a kernel for an older version of android. Why not just go around the problem and try to make it work with the newer version instead? I mean when it works fully it most likely won't work with KitKat right away anyway right?

Its a bug in CM that started around the 20-07 builds, there have been various commits that have supposedly fixed the issue for some moto g's but not others. I'm gonna take a guess and say that slim rom is based (entirely or partly) on CM and because the audio issue still hasn't been fixed for CM it wont be fixed for other roms based of it, your best bet is to flash the AudioFixV3 which changes the audio blobs/files back to the last nightly (20-06 i believe) that didn't have the audio issues. Note that this file was meant for CM so i don't know how it will effect other roms.
AudioFixV3 Link: https://mega.co.nz/#!SJEGUAJS!ex9mS8z3BIXxauA5L3DsGGt-BIbP-vatTTA2aLS5US8

Just be patient, guys, and keep fingers crossed: falcon build is queued as #78606, and the current one is #78517.
So hopefully tonight we'll see the result.

Latest stable slim rom for nexus 2012 grouper

Hi all
I'm currently rooted, using slimkat 4.4.4 on my old trusty nexus 7 2012 wifi edition. I want to update to a new rom, but there are so many to choose from I'm a little confused with features - I wondered which is the bare minimal build like slimroms?
Thanks
