I thought we could all use a little more development for our device since it's been a little sparse, lately...so I've decided to do a little work :)

I can't take credit for development of any aspects of this rom....it's simply a KANG with an AOSP base from GreenBlue's gen chat thread found here please thank him for his hard work on the rom and wonderful guide!!!!!

I started with greenblue's vanilla aosp and added a few features from around the forum. Then I created a flashable zip of the complete rom with CWM 6.0.1.9, extracted the archive created, borrowed the META-INF from greenblue's rom, and created a flashable zip in ordinary plain file format, which we are all used to seeing.

Installation:
back up current rom
full wipe!!
flash with cwm
custom restore just the data partition (ONLY IF USING A PREVIOUS BUILD OF THIS ROM!!!)
reboot
**even if coming from a previous build of this rom, it would still be a good idea since there are some underlying changes in the system**

features
pre-rooted with supersu
gapps included!
camera sphere fixed (mod found here)
notification customized quick settings app (mod found here)
CM file manager included (I don't know why more devs don't do this...it drives me insane!!)
search button opens in app search instead of google now. to access google now, hold the search button down (mod found here)
Notification toggles app (I like this one because you can add multiple widgets to the notification shade and add a shortcut for any app to the widgets)
matr1x kernel installed (shout-out for mathkid...I'm back! lol)

Changelog:
build 3
kernel updated to matr1x 24.5
zipaligned
common ad hosts blocked (enabling a 3rd party ad blocking app disables/replaces this!!)
network tweaked for speed increase
init.d & sysctl tweaks
build.prop tweaks
Gapps updated (12-12-12)
email and exchange apks included!!!

build 2
voicemail bug, including the return to call bug in the lockscreen.
also fixes the phone apk force close issue when you end a call.
hhis version does not fix the 4g wifi tether bug!
all additional features from the previous version are present.

build 1
initial release

What is/is not working:
you tell me

known issues:
4g wifi tethering

I've not tried since I don't have any wifi devices I can connect to my phone at the moment. If you'd like to test and report back, I would appreciate it :)

Will do

no, it will not flash recovery. as I mentioned in the OP, I borrowed the greenblue meta-inf, so even if the recovery.img that is backed up with cwm were included (which it is not) the updater script file in meta-inf is not programmed to flash the recovery partition ;)

I can confirm that wifi tether does in fact work on 3g. No 4g so cant try but this rom is swift, and installation was smooth as butta. With matrix this rom flies

OK so I just flashed and setup everything to my like and WOW! this ROM is quick. So far everything works (calls, text, picture message, WiFi). Definitely a daily driver IMO. The only thing strange is that the boot animation deletes after first reboot (no biggie at all). Great job man

    Noticed a little strangeness. Full wipe and installed new version. Reinstalled all my apps. There is no email app or corporate option in the accounts section under settings. Also I only have the option to choose from 4 apps on the lock screen widgets. Was more in the last build.

    for the toggles, you can edit them any way you'd like...there's an app in the drawer titled 'notification toggle' you can use for the notification shade toggle, and one titled 'quick settings' to edit the ones like you see in vanilla aosp 4.2 :) this gives you the best of both worlds, I think. there are toggles right in plain sight for regular every day tasks and custom app shortcuts, and then there are more behind the quick settings menu for other tasks you may not perform quite so often. Both menus can be totally customized

    You can also use two fingers to pull down notification to go straight to toggle page. I just learned that yesterday

    Can we expect a crespo version?
    TIA

    no, not from me. first, I don't have a gsm nexus s so I can't test it. second, you guys get every single rom, and if someone feels like throwing the ns4g users a bone we MIGHT get a port. Sorry, this one's just for the ns4g users.

    :good::good: Thumbs up on including CellBroadcastReceiver. People don't realize they are not getting the emergency broadcast alerts. If you every get a strange garbled text message, you can now decode it.
