Pointless thread.
The only think that The update is good for is the source code.
just updated. now ill wait for some ROMs to finally start flashing.
Its been available, only people who will upgrade to it are on stock anyways.
How is it ? I'm running. Firefly 2.2 suckerpunch kernel # 51 and a theme by darky u think its worth for me to flash back to stock and upgrade

If you ask me, not a chance.
basically upgrade if you're bored. its for folks who dont want to flash custom roms more or less. all the customized stuff the devs on here offer is way better than official 2.2
all in all not worth it. still havent found a lagfix yet but have figured out how to root/install cwm
now i wait for the first dev to create a rom i can test
I'm only curious if gps is actually better, but sounds like it's not. Shocking...

There's a whole thread full of posts from people who already upgraded. The title is secret, though, so you might have missed it. It has the words "Official Froyo" in it.

If you haven't tried it, how do you know if it's better or not?
You might want to see this post. Supercurio, who developed SPeedMod, has injected Voodoo Lagfix into the Rogers Froyo Kernel, it will work for AT&T Froyo. I have better speeds and performance than on any custom ROM or SpeedMod. Try it out.

Have you tried getting into LBS test mode and resetting your GPS Data?
*#*#3214789650#*#*
Then select delete GPS Data
Also, first locks on new software take longer the first time. If you do the above, it should help.

Didn't take longer when I flashed Cog or supernova.
I didn't flash KB1 but not surprised there are still issues. GPS data, servers and all that won't fix broken hardware.

Well, maybe just give it a try. It can't hurt.
I guess we're lucky in Canada, haven't seen anyone here with these GPS issues.
You guys act as if these custom roms are without bugs. I have flashed many of them and im back on stock because there is always something wrong. besides its not that hard to remove the bloatware yourself. My gps hasnt ever worked on any custom rom dont know if it will on knew one since it wont let me upgrade. problems with call logs showing incorrectly or problems with txt, bt crashes. I have no problems on stock at all, removed all att stuff and it is the way i want it, I dont even use the themes that come with em only a few i seen that i liked and had to buy seperately to make it complete.

Well put. Custom ROMs are basically skinned stock I9000/2.2 ROMs anyway, with bloatware stripped out, other functionality added, and custom kernels and modems.
The beauty of a stock ROM, rooted, with boatware removed(TiBu) and a voodoo injected kernel is better stability, functionality, and reliability. A lot of people here who use custom ROMs have never had access to a native 2.2 stock ROM, and thereby have nothing to compare it to, yet they are stating that custom ROMs are better than 2.2 stock, but how would they know? They've never tried it. Why not try it out? We already have a working 2.2 kernel with Voodoo Lagfix, and I can't say it enough: for me, better speeds, better reliability, faster performance, etc.
However, I'd like to see what happens when we can start making custom ROMs based on 2.2 rather than I9000 though. Non of this wishy washy kernel/modem compatibility etc. It will be better for everyone.

Andromeda is built on a stock 2.2 Captivate ROM. So is Cog 4.
hey, ive been trying to figure out which custom rom + kernel combination should i use but in every rom i'm reading some or the other complaining about something not working, losing signal, or sudden batttery loss, random reboots
is ther a reliable custom rom out ther ? .. because i dont wanna miss out on an important call or message or e-mail at the right time
i really liked what brainmasters miui and kelmsking have done with their roms but still even though its written stable but users aint feeling it to b stable.
i wud like ur opinions on this, and also if u all could help me find a stable rom like the stock one. i am always travelling so i cant afford to have a buggy phone cuz i wudnt have time to go to my computer to do something about it.
i know i have read it many times ther is no best rom cuz its personal choice, but still i want to knw more about stable roms

What's GPA18? I just got my S a week ago, I downgraded from a HTC Sensation and I'm going to use this for a while until Ice Cream Sandwich comes out, but I'm using OXYGEN's rom right now. Stock kernel it comes with and everything, and it's pretty stable for me, great battery life, sometimes I lose data but that's because of the radio update, but other than that, it's great.
gpa 18 is peter alfonso rom, gpa 18 is still not stable though ..
Hi,
I tried CyanogenMod7 (Nightly Builds and Stable version 7.1.0), MIUI (latest version) and Oxygen 2.3.1.
CM7: This is a great ROM but I got random reboot or asking my PIN code. I only have Google Apps, nothing about G+ 2.0 or GWallet. I got those issue since a while on Nightly Builds.
MIUI: if you like IPhone style, this is a great ROM too. None reboot.
Oxygen: this is also a nice ROM. You need to custom it with Go Launcher, GO Weather, GO SMS, DSP Manager... because this is a little raw but, nothing to say only stable.
Performances are pretty good.
There is also NSCollab ROM which is built off Cyanogen Mod,and its a combination of both stock and Cyanogen which I've found to be more stable probably cause of the kernel I.e Matr1x which is built off the stock kernel
I'm using NSCollab 1.0.50 right now and I haven't had any issue yet
I tried netarchy and Trinity kernels with NSCollab but matr1x seems to be the best with NSCollab, gives me a Quadrant of 3000 at 1Ghz

Brainmasters MIUI is my fav. No reboots no signal loss when installed clean.
Sent from my Google Nexus S 9020a
You could go stock deodexed, zip-aligned and with newest radio. You could play with kernels for BLN, Voodoo, and OC. Stable but with a few goodies.

Just updated to the latest CM7 Nightly, and so far twice today, when I went to hit the sleep button. The screen remains black. I can see a blacklight go on though or something, as the screen changes from when its in sleep. But it remains black.. Is this a known bug? Any suggestions? I would really hate to have to go back to Weapon as I spent all day setting up CM7.
edit: upon further investigation, this appears to be called sleep of death? Are there any known fixes for it?
I had the same problem, happened with every cm7 based rom....i tried posting my problem on this forum for help but no 1 really had any idea what was the issue or how to fix it...as far as I know we're stuck using 2.3.3 roms
Btw do you have a wind optimus 2x or a tmobile g2x? Mine is from wind

Faux123's 0.4.4 kernel has a patch for it. It will work with CM7 nightlies.

Will it only work with the nightlies? I would've preferred to use the stable release or the cm7 eagleblood

i installed his latest CM version along with the CM rom and it happened still. Is there a seperate patch? or is the kernal on its own supposed to fix it?
Thanks for posting that, I was about to test it myself

I think there are 2 different sleeps of death, one of them only happens sometimes, whereas the one we get happens every single time the screen turns off
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
hopefully we can fix this problem together.. It seems Cm7 has better battery life then the other roms so I would hate to go back.
well weapon has been pretty good for me...can't complain really...which CM rom did u try with faux's kernel?
The very latest nightly. Cant remember off hand which one it is.
Also, If I flashed weapon right now (being on CM7 + faux kernel), will I retain the faux kernel? Or will I need to reflash faux's kernel. And even though this kernel says CM7, will it still work with weapon?
I believe the kernel would be flashed over by the stock kernel in weapon, if it doesn't get flashed over then i doubt your phone would be able to boot up, because the kernel shouldn't be compatible with stock 2.3.3
give a shot and try it out, also if you want to over clock on weapon there should be another kernel by faux that u can use, look for it in the development forum
I am going to stay a little longer on CM7, maybe someone can help me with these SOD's.. Then I guess I wil go back to weapon or try out that eagle one. Not sure which is better..
i think the stock eagleblood is very plain and clean....i like weapon because its a little more customized, plus its the only stock rom that has the notification power menu...and from the looks of it, our problem seems very rare so i don't think anyone has or will develop a fix for it

i ended up trying it for myself even though it didn't work for u, and it actually ended up working for me
i'll give u detailed steps for what i did and maybe it'll work for u too
(this is all on CWM recovery)
after backing up i factory reset (wiped data), wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and formatted /system
then i flashed the latest CM7 nightly (195), then i flashed gapps
i wiped cache and dalvik again then i flashed faux's 0.4.4 CM SV kernel
i then pessimistically rebooted and voila for the first time i had a functional CM7 rom....i've put the screen to sleep about 10 times so far and it awoke every time so i think it should be fixed
I hope it works for you. I probally didnt see my first SOD until maybe 50 or 60 sleeps.
well I used to get the SOD on the first sleep so its definitely an improvement for me...i'll let you know if it lasts i guess
First of all, I am a iphone convert (this week) and bought an Infuse. love the phone and android. I am a noob and have a noob question:
I would love to upgrade to gingerbread and don't want to root. I believe I can do that with the stock ROMs. My question is a stock ROM such as ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6] 100% stable with everything working?
I use my phone for business so I can't have calls not come thru or other problems on it.
Any insight is appreciated.

I've installed every single stock leak there is (I hate ugly modded roms). KK3 is NOT the way to go. KK4 was just released and currently it's not rooted and runs beautifully. Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, data and phone are all working great. 9 times out of 10 the rooted versions suck anyways because they use a buggy kernal that wasn't meant for it. There's usually some kind of trade off with rooted roms so if you don't care about rooting, grab KK4 and flash with ODIN.

this is exactly the type of info I was looking for! Thanks! Is absolutely everything working on the KK4? all the apps and everything?

I've been playing with it all day and I have yet to find any issues. All apps work, no shutdowns, no lagging, no dropped wifi, no data switching, no bluetooth problems...nothing. Definately one step closer to "official".
the custom kernel is usually packaged so people have cwm and dont get in a panic not being able to flash out of the rom the same way they flashed it. if i knew how to repack the initramfs id give a shot at making a more stock kernel with cwm. but unfortunately like the rom chefs here i dont have that knowledge. you can absolutely have kk4 rooted without a rogers based kernel, it just means flashing twice. maybe ill fill that gap since flashing the stock kernel back to the phone is too much for many people to figure out. the phone retains root if you flash the stock kernel. what is going on is there is a script in the custom kernel that copies the su file and simlinks it while the phone boots in an insecure state. once root is there it stays unless you flash the rom. after the phone is rooted the kernel has zero effect on root privledges.
Hi guys,
I decided I want to flash an ICS rom to my nexus S.
Question I have though, is what will work for my phone, which is a 9020A (AT&T) and what rom would give me the closest to stock ICS like what OTA ICS would be?
I was thinking cyanogenmod 9 but I have used CM7 and remembered it being sort of a hassle...
I really want the facial unlock feature if possible. I don't know if it's native in ics or what but I want that.
Tell me why you think the rom you suggest is best, please. I want to know what the pros and cons to it are. And links would be really nice!
Thanks!
stock ics
I'm happy with the stock 4.0.3, I tested Peter Alfonso nightlies lately but I was annoyed by his adjusted auto brightness however it seems to be very popular and smooth and fast.
Stock runs great on my i9023 and there are no killer features in any stock like rom yet imho. But I'm using a custom kernel which is imho always better than the stock kernel.
edit: face unlock is useless since it recognizes nothing and is less secure than a pin or a pattern
Im using the same model phone as you are and running cybergr ics v3. Its by far the best rom so far.. try it, he has alot of extra features.. daily rom. In a couple of days v4 is coming out.
I just flashed revolution HD 4.2.3 this morning with speedy 4 kernel and this is definitely the best combination I've used so far.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I still use the DrewGaren ROMS, they are plenty fast and stable, along with the latest Glados Kernel They seem to give me the best results.
Stand corrected. cybergr ics v3 is a really fast ROM, probably the fastest i've ever seen my phone, just need to update it to v2.8 Glados
Face Unlock is a cool feature. Unfortunately, our front camera is too bad to properly recognize faces. If you get lucky - in good light - you might be able to unlock it, but it really is no fun at all.

Looks promising. I will try that if I can't find a way to get stock ICS on the 9020A...
Might even try it anyways. Thanks!
Hey please let us know if you do it! I am new to all this rom rooted thing and need to know which rom will work with my i9020a since I am a bit of a rookie!

Works great. No radio flash needed. Install went smooth aside from a few derps on my part. Rom seems a bit laggy but I think it's just because it's reinstalling everything. other times it's blown me away by how fast it is. Face unlock works pretty well. love the interface. I can't believe it's android, its awesome!
I've tested almost every ICS rom's available and right now KANGY6 with MATRIX v14.5 CFS it's the best combo for me.
i'm getting 3000+ on Quadrant with 1.46Ghz OC
You may try the CYBERGR ROM it's also very stable and fast.

ok, I dun goofed. I think I restored a system app on accident thinking that it would restore my messages or something... but my mobile data quit working when i restored that stuff (multiple restores, but thought i was just restoring user apps not system). any idea how to fix the mobile data without re-flashing?
Edit: Fixed, but lost my conversations in my messaging. Oh well. At least the android gods love me again. Anyways this rom is great, it works perfectly! So smooth!
