CM7 question on Nexsus S - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Quick questions. 1. Just got my Nexsus S Saturday; coming from iPhone 4, and I have managed to root and installed CM 7 build 150 nightly and want to know. Do I have to do a complete wipe every time a new nightly comes out? Or can I just update? I have done the backup of my ROM the very first time and have actually backed up my ROM twice just be safe.
Other question maybe someone knows is, anyone using the Nexsus S on AT&T? Want to know if adjusting the build.prop files to speed up the download and upload speeds works? Reason is my I phone's download up load are much faster than the Nexsus S. Would like to at least match the speeds to my iPhone. Thanks.

Between nightlys you don't have to wipe. If they are changing the kernel (or you're experience other problems) wiping cache and dalvik cache might be necessary (in case of "other problems" fixing permissions in cwm recovery might also help).

I've used all of the data tweaks, and honestly, it hasn't made it anywhere near iPhone speeds for me. That could just be my area, though.

Have you flashed another radio, or just done the build.prop tweaks?

I just installed the KD1 radio on my Nexus S and now my upload speed is uncapped. not as good as my iPhone 4, but now I am getting 1.9 - 2.8 download and upload .83-.99.
This is without any mod to the build.prop file. Don't if i should try it.
I might have take back my Nexus S back to Best Buy since I am getting the bug where the find button goes crazy without touching it.

What do you get on your iPhone 4?
You can always add the build.prop very easily. Once you change that file and save it a back up is created automatically.

On my iPhone 4 I normally get from 2.0 - 3.0 and sometimes as much as 3.3 download. Upload is always 1.2 and 1.5 unless I'm at home which is around .80.
Which radio are you using? Also what settings you end up using for the build.prop file? Did you just add them at the end if the file and rebooted twice? Will test out once I see what settings you used and radio.
I'm having a really bad issue with the search key going off in its own. Now it does more since i changed over the KD1 radio.

Did that search button go crazy in unrooted form? I posted the build.prop setting for you in the radio thread. I'm using radio kb4.

It did a few times when I had it stock.
OK thanks will check the radio thread must of missed it. I thought you had KB3? Also I went ahead installed the KB3 Radio and wow. Overall getting 2.8 down but the upload is low in the .30. this is of course without adding anything to the build.prop file.

[ROM][SENSE] [2.3.3] Namit1994's Gingerbread Sense v1 SFM1.2 Base

What's up guys. I ported SFM 1.2 over to our 32B devices.
Requirements:
1. Any SPL
2. 96MB+ Swap
3. EXT4 sdcard partition
4. cMTD 175
How to Install:
1. Download Every file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0mexmgvmz1vm6
2. Flash cMTD Setup and reboot
3. Flash GingerSense ROM
4. Flash farmarito's gingerbread kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/0SJ77OM4HA
5. Flash cMTD Patch
Notes:
1. Setup will take FOREVER. Do not use your phone once it boots up, let it sit for about 20 minutes.
2. In /data/tweaks you will find a bunch of settings. To make it faster, edit Minfree file and type in yes and reboot
3. In /data/tweaks edit swappiness to change the swap value. It is high, set to 85, change to anything between 1-100 if you want and then reboot. You might experience slowness or more speed. To change those settings to default, go to recovery and wipe data.
is it fully working?
like camera and BT

Followed your instructions EXACTLY and just got a boot screen cycle. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I got it working ok(followed the op) But it's like a slide show at the mow...wi-fi works ok..but only 16MB free for apps
I will re-boot and leave it over night to let it settle.
thanks for your work dude..
Well I left it all night and it's still about the same..
When I use a program i.e settings I get a black screen then the settings show but I can't get back to home.
I will do a new flash later with a new mem card.
thks for your work dude...
Looks great, but fails a lot and is very slow. wifi does not work and I have the farmatito's kernel. What a pitty!
Hey guys sorry to say that I won' be developing for 32B anymore.... It's sad but I got a HTC Flyer. However, I will ghost around here once in a while and try to participate in any development projects. As for GingerSense, I think Rushness can take it over.

Wind Users and MIUI!

Hello fellow Wind Mobile users,
Is anyone here using MIUI? If so, would you be kind enough to post your /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file?
Also, does mms AND data work for you guys? I'm having a hard time getting it working..
I can get you the cm 7 one if you want. Mms working great here. Data too. Almost 6mbps dl and 2 up.

Works for me
I'm using version 1.11.4 miui port by Whitehawkx and data works great! Only issue i have is it keeps going in to airplane mode randomly and staying there only fix is reboot. Very annoying. But do tell if you can get data to work on the optimized one available on these forums!

Yeah I've seen T-Mobile users using that one no problem. But then for some reason Wind users are having difficulty with it. I think there might be an internal setting making it specific to T-Mobile users. Not 100% sure though.

Yeah I was looking at those a long time ago. Thing is, I had it set up and working fine on Weapon G2X, but then as soon as I go to MIUI it doesn't work.

Basically what I did was flash Weapon G2X, grab the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file, install MIUI, replace the apns-conf.xml file with the one from Weapon G2X, reboot, reset to factory defaults, then when I rebooted it had the apns setup.

For Canadian Wind Mobile users on the latest MIUI version, if your APN exists but no data connection, please set the authentication of your APN to "None" explicitly to have a try.

Just bought skyrocket what to do?

Just bought a used skyrocket only problem is the battery door got Lil scratches (already order new one on eBay for 5 bucks) but got it for a sweet 200! So people its already rooted (he said he used super one click) stock recovery and on 2.3.6 is it hard to install roms on here and any good ones?

im using skymod 5.1. uses Apex launcher and is fairly stable...thing is you never know with ROMs based on leaked code if it's the dev or just bugged ICS code.
ill i really want is an experience that's just pure Android, no UI BS...just pure. I miss my Nexus One for that exact reason.
Here's all the ROMS for skyrocket: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383464
I'm running ICS RC7.4 Speed though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087
Yes so many ICS roms yet they ain't stable for DD right? Also feel so dumb and totally forgot the the rocket has nfc. So far reading no ics rom has that working correct? I'm assuming that one we get a official release of ICS then nfc should work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
1) nfc works
2) many people use it as a dd, no fcs or instabilities, just a few tiny bugs, that may or may not annoy (shutdown/reboot anyone?)

As well as the ROMS this "all in one location" helped me it links how to Root (different methods) one click works best for me, talks about kernals, ODIN return to stock, and much more.
As always READ READ READ. I read for about 2 months. Was rooted, downloaded an app that borked my modem. Knew exactly where to go to return to stock......
OK have to look at it ICS some more just loving alien#6 to much with faux kernel!
But anybody recommended a ICS that's pretty stable and has nfc working?

You have to set the apn manually and its missing a lot of unessisary apps maybe hold off until the release of 3.0.3 but its up to you. What have been the issues with the rom you are using? Either way ill upload the odin stuff and a more stable release of rage tonight hopefully

Sprint's been doing something to the tower closest to my house and I've been permaroamig at my house going on 3 weeks now. Sprint told me it might be a while before they fix the problem. I've been missing calls and they only go through when I force my phone to roam. It sucks because it only happens at my house. lol its happening to my dad's completelt stock shift too so I know its not an issue with my phone. Both of our phones work fine as soon as we switch towers.

Before updating your radios do this:
1) Update profile, reboot phone.
2) Update PRL, reboot phone.
3) If you are not using cellular radio 1.08.01.0111 here is the link:

If your talking about the ones on THIS thread. There is a video in the OP on how to. But if you don't have time, or don't want watch ( although I would suggest you do ) , there are written instructions in the OP. It's always a good idea to read the OP a least once, just in case.
