Im losing network like crazy. At least three times a day my signal indicator goes grey and apps complain about no network. It takes at least a minute to come back. Very annoying. Im on Fido (Rogers) in Canada running v3 of this ROM. I didnt have this problem before this ROM.

Also, why doesnt Android keyboard have autocorrect in the browser?

Trata de usar la version de CM9 le dan mantenimiento semanal y es mucho mejor que esta. A esta version de ICS no le van a dar mas seguimiento. Que tipo de Nexus S tienes ? El Nexus S CDMA o el Nexus S GSM ?

Mejor en que sentido? Funciona todo? Es que lo que me gusta de esta es quw es ics puro sin añadidos... y la ultima vez que probe la cm9 la app de wallet se cerraba sola y daba error todo el tiempo.

Translation:
How is CM9 better? Does everything work?
I like plain ICS, no added stuff...and the last time I used CM the wallet app closed itself, and gave error.



I'm also interested in Cm9 feedback.thanks!

the volume control doesn't work when you're playing music with the screen locked. every single rom i've tried has the same bug. is this something we'll have to wait for OTA to get?

Firstly thanks to Kwiboo for his great work.

Although Kwiboo put his device source on GitHub, it's incomplete and have some problems compared to the ROM he provided.

I made some changes based on Kwiboo's branch to build AOSP successfully and work smoothly.

change list is as below:
1. covert dos format files to unix format files
2. resolve no audio output problem
3. resolve the problem that wifi don't work
4. resolve the problem that camera don't work

Device source code are hosted at GitHub:
netsf/android_device_samsung_crespo

Please enjoy it and feel free to give your feedback.

Just as an F.Y.I. I compiled my own from source but used kwiboo's device folder and his kernel folder. everything runs fine. for 2,3,4 you need to compile his kernel or just use his system/modules and system/lib folder. Thanks kwiboo for the efforts.

Qn: Does facelock work on any of the ICS builds ( kwiboo, cm9 etc)?

    This is a custom build of Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP for the Nexus S.

    I have only tested this on a Nexus S i9020t.

    Working
    - 3G
    - 2D/3D HW acceleration (some glitches)
    - Audio
    - Camera
    - GPS
    - Face Unlock
    - WiFi
    - BT
    - USB (v2)
    - Data usage statistics (v2)
    - Data usage limit (v3)
    - Tethering WiFi and USB (v3)
    - Camcorder (v3)

    Not working
    - Camcorder effects
    - ???

    Kernel
    The kernel is custom build from the aosp source (same as stock 2.3.7) with the following changes:
    - mxt224 patch to make touchscreen work (source patch)
    - pvr-driver backported from aosp tuna kernel (source patch)
    - v2: bcm4329 parameter backport, for tethering (source patch)
    - v2: android usb gadget driver backported from aosp tuna kernel, for usb support
    - v2: xt_qtaguid and xt_quota2 backported from aosp tuna kernel, for data stats
    - v3: fixes for earlier backported drivers (kernel source)

    Other kernels will not work unless they include the patches above

    Notes
    - device config for this build - source code
    - pvr updated to 1.8 from omap-tuna kernel - kernel patch
    - imgtec drivers from maguro - drivers
    - mxt224-patch from syndtr - kernel patch
    - audio and camera library from beezy's ics sdk port
    - gapps from paul's leaked ICL23D dump

    Changes in v2
    - Optimized binaries (user build)
    - wpa_supplicant switched to 0.8, should fix status icon and hopefully more
    - Tethering over wifi and usb
    - USB mass storage
    - Data usage statistics
    - Updated Maps, Music and Google+
    - Updated kernel to support usb, statistics and wifi tethering
    - Note: Camera icon on home screen is not working, remove it and add it again

    Changes in v3
    - Working tethering
    - Data usage limit
    - Camcorder
    - Updated gapps
    - Tweaked device config
    Note: This is most likely going to be the final version of this rom since most of the features is working

    I guess this is why someone asked they be numbered .. I don't think they have been updated

    New version is not done yet, started backporting the xt_qtaguid netfilter

    First post will be updated with version and changelog once the new build is done

    * Nexus S 4G Users *

    NEXUS S 4G ONLY

    If you are a NS4G user, have tried v2 of this ROM, and have had the errors that have been reported in this thread (wifi not working / causing reboots, making phone calls causes reboots, etc) You are welcome to the file I will post below. I called it v1.5 ;) , what it is, is v1 of this ROM with everything patched & fixed (Except the grey wifi icons & USB). No need to flash anything except this one file.
    If you are downgrading from v2 or flashing for the 1st time : Wipe Data, Cache, & Dalvik Cache. I also go into mounts & storage & format system/data/cache/& boot just to be safe. Up to you if you want to take the extra steps or not.
    This is what we will have to run until OP updates to v3, or fixes v2 for the NS4G. I have flashed Franco Kernel with this, & so far it seems stable.
    I am not trying to hijack the OP's thread, just trying to make things simple & clarify for the 4G users, since the thread is so long, contains info for both devices, & has become confusing, especially for someone just coming to the thread for the 1st time. Also, the patch to fix "Roaming Indicator Off" bug on the lockscreen is gone now. This 1.5 file includes that fix also. Just trying to be helpful...
