Trying to understand
In this release you removed the lulzactive governor control module(one of my favorite parts by the way, it worked really well) and upgraded the kernel. You also widgified the torch and added power button functionality for the camera, battery status tweaks and several other enhancements.
In past updates there were some with many more additions that only increased your versioning by trailing decimal, and others that only receive a patch level...
I really want to understand why you chose to version this release at 3.0 instead of something like 2.1 and am hoping maybe you can shed some light on good rules of thumb to follow for maintaining ROM updates. If I can ever resolve VM heaping issues in Eclipse on this crappy old PC of mine I may actually turn out my own ROM, but to do so and maintain it I would want to know that I am not going to waste my time because of the time it takes my single core 3.1 GHz Intel processor to compile all the source, not to mention the eclipse tweaks I have to perform frequently to avoid the VM heaping issues.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, because I absolutely love the combination of CM9 2.0 with Black Infinitum Theme, I will not be upgrading again until next AOSP release or CM9 implements its own theming finally. More control over how my software looks and Icon packs... That leads me to an entirely new thought and question, has anyone ever attempted to make an app that attempts to decompile apk, modify xml and recompile apk on the fly to have granular control over the SystemUI?
All that to say this, Thanks again to all the effort in bringing us Cyanogen.

Why is support for this device or feedback so.. quiet? I'm not saying in general just specific to cyanogenmod and the nexus s... like even with Cyanogenmod 7.. its been quiet.. and its been like this for the last 3 devices i've had, HTC Sensation, HTC Thunderbolt and now the Nexus S4G. I dont see any change log or input on this build. Its just quiet. Even on the website it is. If someone can appoint me to somewhere were this is actual talk about this device and Cyanogen.. please point me to it.
The feedback in the forum is because there are so many kangs out there that have a lot of features that people like and it seems as though cm instead of leading the way like they did back in the day they are taking their time with their builds. Which is fine because they do what they do but with the absence of nightlies it always seems as though they are catching up because of the kangs that are available almost daily. Peoples attention spans are shorter and shorter and are jumping on builds that are updated more often. No offense to the cm team because without them there would be no kangs or a base for a lot of development but as we see more and more devs we will see more and more roms being developed where for AOSP cm in the past was king.

yeah, build bot, where are you?
stuff is obviously happening, but the forums are quiet so with no build bot, it feels like nothing happens. Is there an IRC channel or anything?
Awesome!
Love it! I am so happy! ICS before a official release! Of course some features are not yet available. But wow! This works great! And now I can be happy until the official CM9 release!

You can adjust the colors in the Nexus S Settings app, these are the settings i'm using

The gamma being forced to all zeros and no lower causes the colors yo get washed out and too bright. Ever since that update I have been ditching the cm kernel for matrix. Its a shame as the cm kernel was great.

So does the advice of not upgrading Gapps w/o full wipe still apply? I'm on a previous version of CM9 (1.1 I think) and Gapps (v10) and wanted to upgrade to 3.0, does that mean I need to re-apply v10 or can I wipe Dalvik+cache and apply both CM9-3.0 and Gapps 11?
Or is even jumping 2 CM9 versions a bad idea?

I've been using V3.0 since it was released, and I have gotten some random reboots with it. I was scrolling through an app that isn't CPU or graphic intensive, and it just turned off and restarted.
CPU:
Min: 100
Max: 1100
Governer: Lulzactive
Kernel: 3.0.19 SG-NS-ICS kernel

This happened to me 5-6 times ion the past week. also i cant attach the bug report its 3.9mb . . also im running stock kernel and no mods

I got my wife a new Nexus S 4g and installed v2.0. This is her first smartphone and she loves it. This ROM is very stable and fast. Great job!
That's supposed to happen when you press power plus both up and down volume keys at the same time. Are you sure you're not accidentally hitting those buttons?
Just wanted to say that I'm loving v3.0. Enabled KSM and set Interactive preset to Fast and everything is super smooth and responsive. And with DSP my headphones have never sounded better! Thanks for all the hard work Brunsra, Kalim and the rest of the CM team!
I do have a case that fits tight and pinches the volume button sometimes. That must be the issue. Thanks !

This is ONLY and early build of CM. Still a lot to be done there, so we can call it ALPHA build but is a daily use, so you can use normally.
We would like to thank Ezekeel for developing the deepidle capability within the kernel. Great work Ezekeel!

I'm gonna to try to answer your questions without flaming you but it's difficult....
1. Face Unlock comes from the Gapps you use, not the ROM.
2. Voodoo features are already included in the ROM. DSP for Voodoo Sound features and the colors can be adjusted in the included settings without installing Voodoo.
3. No one cares how busy you are, Kalim is probably a busy man too.
4. Developer or not, stupid post is stupid post.
5. Stop shouting, you're an idiot.
EDIT: I was not up to the challenge.

Please do a complete wipe/clean prior to installation, even if currently running an ICS ROM. Many changes between builds prior to 4.0.3 and this build.
Cleaning
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Mounts and Storage -> Format /system
- Mounts and Storage -> Format /boot
- Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Launcher is Laggy
- From home screen -> Preferences
- Drawer -> Uncheck "Join with Apps"
