[ROM] 08/Aug Gr15 GRJ22: MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Nexus S

paulobrien · Dec 22, 2010

NOTE:

You MUST WIPE YOUR DEVICE before flashing this ROM UNLESS you are upgrading from an earlier release. This is due to the resigning of key components with the AOSP platform key, to facilitate skinning / customising etc.

Features at this time:

Based on the GRJ22 (2.3.4) release
Packaged for ClockworkMod 3.0.0.0+
Rebuilt using the MoDaCo MCR optimisation scripts
Includes MCK custom kernel with TUN and CIFS modules
Incorporates supercurio's EXT4 performance tweak
Full up to date Google experience + additional apps (including new look Market)
HSPA icon differentiation ('H' icon when transferring data via HSPA)
Insecure boot image
su / Superuser.apk root
Support for running scripts from /etc/init.d at startup
Terminfo support (for nano etc)
Busybox
Optional 'allow SIP over non-WiFi connections' in the kitchen
Semi-transparent notification pull-down
Optional 'Spare Parts' app
Optional radio updates (latest update recommended!)
Removed Browser zoom buttons
framework-res and core libraries / apks are signed with the 'platform' certificate from AOSP, aiding those who wish to edit the framework-res / SystemUI.apk to theme. Simply extract, edit, resign with the platform certificate and push the file.
A bunch of other stuff that i've forgotten

Installation is recommended via ClockworkMod recovery, which MUST be version 3.0.0.0 or above. ENSURE YOU HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING!

Downloads

This ROM is now available in the online kitchen! In addition to the kitchen, a prebaked download is available.

Future Updates - READ THIS!

By providing this ROM I am not implying in any way that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).

And finally

Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in download topic at MoDaCo.

Just to re-iterate what i've said in the intial topic, a wipe before install is MANDATORY, the ONLY exception to this is if you are upgrading from my r1 release.

where is the other custom rom?

radinjxu · Dec 22, 2010

Just flashed. Seems to be working well. Thanks for your work and looking forward to future updates. I have a question as well. I was prompted with the software update from google? Should I install, or will this tamper with the functionality of the rom?

Thanks.

Lol i just got stuck in a bootloop by trying to use the zune font from the other thread, luckily just adb in recovery and sorted stuff out

Is there anyway to get the zune font working on this rom tho? I really like it!

CaliLove310 · Dec 23, 2010

If I back up with Rom Manager and wipe before flashing this, will it delete my backup too?

Quick question, with my evo whenever I flashed a custom rom, I would backup my current rom, wipe everything (data and cache) then I'll flash the new rom.

Is this process the same for the Nexus S?

That's what I did and everything seems to be working.

Edit: Home button wasn't working after I flashed the ROM, however a quick reboot fixed the issue.
