Hey all, kind of a noob question i guess but i am confused. i thought the version of CM7 i flashed was based on android 2.3.4 but to my surprise it was 2.3.3. kind of a big deal to me as i use the video calling feature.
i went here: download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=crespo and downloaded update-cm-7.0.3-NS-signed.zip thinking it was the latest and greatest.
does anyone know if there is a STABLE cm7 out that is based off of 2.3.4. this is for a regular nexus s running on rogers
tia!
edit: after browsing around it looks like 7.1 RC is the latest? i cant find if this is compatible with the nexus s. can someone please confirm so i dont brick my device
okay so i went for it and all is good, running on android 2.3.4 now. however, my google talk still doesnt allow me to video/voice call anyone?
anyone know whats going on?

Hello everyone
I am new to the Android world and loving it! I've been wanting to get a Android phone for some time, and took the plunge last week and purchased a Nexus S through Rogers in Canada - Model I9020A Build GR154.
This phone is amazing stock, but naturally I want to experiment with custom ROM's and get all the functionality and performance tweaks I can.
I apologize for the newb questions, but if someone could enlighten me on what they think some of the best custom roms compatible with my device are, and their personal experience with said roms. My main "wants" in a rom are. Sound improvements (voodoo), video chat on gtalk, greater battery longevity. CM7, Amethyst Nexus 2.2, and Infinity 1.1.0 all interest me. Anyone on GR154 using any of these roms? I'm not clear if any of said roms will work properly on my device.
Again I apologize for the newb questions, any help, advice, recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same NS (I9020a on Rogers). Any of these should work:

The above post is pretty comprehensive and is updated frequently. If you plan on doing alot of flashing, it's a good one to keep bookmarked. I've tested most of them and I haven't had any problems yet.
Happy flashing!
Excellent. Thank you very much!

I'm running 2.3.3 (CM 7.0.3) with netarchy kernel and stock modem (KB2) on my I9020A and it's been great!
Since there isn't much info on I9020As I didn't have the balls to try 2.3.4 or KB3 or the modem after that.
Does anybody know if 2.3.4 roms are working on I9020As? I thought they didn't work but the post above implies otherwise...
And the new modems? Do they run ok with 850mhz?
Cheers!

The new modem that comes with 2.3.4 causes the infamous search button behaviour. Other than that the 2.3.4 flash is pretty stable on the 9020a
Equally new to all of this, with the exact same phone and build.
Where would I find a root and flash tutorial thats up to date and easy as hell? Lol

The tutorial I found the most straightforward and helpful was created by theunlockr.com here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/
The only thing to note is that you can ignore section "VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image". Once you flash Clockworkmod Recovery it stays on the I9020a. The "install-recovery.sh" file does not exist on the I9020a. As far as I know this is unique to the I9020a, but I could be wrong.
I am far from an expert, but I hope this helps!

Agreed. I have been running stock rooted 2.3.4 since it became available and I haven't experienced any issues at all, even Google Talk Video has been working flawlessly over wifi (haven't tried GTalk on 3G yet).
I haven't experienced any unusual search button behaviour either, but I hardly use it.
I'm running CM7.1 RC1 but my talk does not have video chat on it. Where do I get the latest gapps and does anybody know a good kernel to run with CM7.1 RC1?
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip i think this is the newest GAPPS with talk enabled, you should also try a CM7 nightly and the trinity kernel, i have no problems with this setup.
I tried that gapps already and it did not give me video chat.

Try this.

They are dated so use the latest one.

Make sure you enable video chat in gtalk. Its not turned on by default
I rooted my skyrocket and flashed CM7 Alpha Version 3 ROM.
I wasn't able to receive calls, or txt messages.
Also, does anyone know if I can uninstall ADW.Launcher From CM7? I want a pure google based ROM. I like Pure google, but dont wanna slap down the price for a unlocked nexus...
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
Flash the new version alpha 4 with da_g new cm7 v4 kernel and that should solve your problem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I had to flash DaG's kernel even with the latest update to CM7. My WiFi wasn't working before I did.
You will also need to restore backed up APN settings for data and LTE to work. I tried entering them manually (as outlined in the OP for the ROM) and it didn't work.
There isn't a vanilla Android ROM for this phone yet, at least not to my knowledge. You could try making one I suppose, but that is no easy task (nor is it risk-free!).
Good luck!
Hi guys,
I have a SGS2 running ICS and i cant download Steam from the app market (cant post a link as i dont have enough posts, but its Steam as in Valve Corp for PC gaming etc).
Its saying my device isnt compatible?! Can someone post a download for the APK?
Would really appreciate it.
Regards Matt.
Well are you sure that the new Steam app is available for Android 4 ICS? there's a lot of apps not compatible with ICS yet, so maybe that's exactly why you can't install it.
The app is new as well and they're currently in a closed Beta fase, so it's normal that it may not work on ICS.
I didnt think of that. But then a lot of apps i cant download on the market because of this "incompatibility" issue i google the apk and manage to download them and they work fine.
Also this is the latest review left: "nextjonas on January 28, 2012 (Samsung Nexus S with version 1.0)
Received my invite yesterday
And it's really great so far. Everything I ever wanted from Valve! However, the RAM usage can peak at 100MB. This usage even killed other running processes like whatsapp service :O though nice app & looking forward for coming features =)"
Im assuming his device is running ICS 4.0? Also i think the picture of the device running steam mobile in the market is a Nexus S
Regards
Have you tried uninstalling+reboot and reinstalling+reboot and then try to open the app?
I've just installed Steam from the market on my SGS2 with AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 and it opened smoothly and fast, i just can't log in because i don't have an account... so this means that it IS compatible with ICS. Maybe your ROM has some issues with that? is it stable with other apps?
Yeah all my other apps work fine. Il give AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 a try and see how it goes. Before i do tho is it stable?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Moving to Q&A
Yes, AndyX's v3.1 is stable but of course has some issues like any other ICS. He's now working on the LP6 version (latest leaked official samsung stock rom), the one it's based in now is the LP2 but it works well.
I'm waiting for his LP6 version though, meanwhile i'm testing other roms but so far Andy's is the one i liked the most.
Installed on sandvolds ics for desire ok for me, doubt it is an ics issue.
Just need an invite now...
Just installed AndyX ICS ROM v3.1 and its brilliant!! thanks for recommending it to me, also managed to install all of the apps i previously couldn't!

Sorry you should have read our next posts on the thread, it turned out to be compatible and be a ROM uncompatibility problem so i guess it's all good now to him.
Btw, AndyX v4.0 is out read the latest posts on the thread from Adesirello though because there's a little issue that will be fixed soon.

The new 4.1 youtube update killed youtube for a lot of gingerbread users, as im still using a gingerbread rom and i updated not knowing it would break it. I have looked all over for an old version of the youtube but can not seem to find one that works and I do no remember the version for gingerbread! im currently using the GB Hellfire rom if anyone could please post a link to the apk or pull one from the rom that would be awesome! Thanks!
Currently running Youtube v4.1.23 on my GB ROM (Temasek 135.1 Final Build) and things are working just fine. Possibly un-install and reinstall the app?
I'm also running version 4.1.23 on rooted stock GB (2.3.4) without any issues

i thought the same thing, turn out you just have to uninstall the update, the old youtube we like is the one by default. no need to look for the apk
