JB ROM packing hold back to kill? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't seem to find a current custom JB ROM with that much needed feature. Most ICS ROMS have it, but since JB seems smoother overall I'd rather stay with it.

Cm10 has it. As does rasbeanjelly from euroskank website.

slim has it now [2.2]
you have to turn it on...

so does AOKP but it's only used on the navbar (on-screen buttons) back button.

Does it work with capacitive buttons on our nexus?
I think on screen buttons are retarded (nav bar)
Anyways I'll check your guys suggested Roms once I'll get home.
Thx everyone

Like it or not, on-screen buttons are the way of Android going forward. Everyone has their own prefs. Personally, I do like customizable nav bar. Capacitive buttons do burn batt juice, maybe negligible but still use some batt. I have a nav bar power off button, saves the wear on the physical power button by at least half life. Instant recent apps button, no need to hold home button, no remap necessary. Sure it takes up some screen assets on the NS but worth it for me.

I just installed codename android 3.5 and it has hold back to kill feature that works on capacitive buttons...I'm rather happy with that ROM paired with air kernel
Thx everyone for your suggestions

The new codename has "hold back to kill" and a "kill all" button

Slim Bean has it. Let's you customize all of the capacitive buttons too. I missed not being able to search within an app.

Back button issues?

I seem to be having some problems with my back button. It works, but it seems much less responsive than the other buttons. Would this be a hardware issue or software controlling the buttons? I'm running NScollab .23 with netarchy 1.3.2 cfs kernel.

[KERNEL][09 Jul 12] GINGERBREAD s2w [2.6.35.14][smartassv2][sweep2wake]

This is a CyanogenMOD 7 based kernel for Android 2.3 a.k.a GINGERBREAD.
It is made for all the "stability" fans that are still using any Gingerbread AOSP ROM.
I have made this for personal use, then decided to share.
Enjoy!​Features:
- Sweep2wake functionality
- SMARTASSV2 governor (my favourite) set as default
Download: View attachment sweep2wake.zip
md5sum: B16D93A776589947302BF524648A3909
Installation: flash in the Recovery
Issues:
- during the testing it occurred that after swiping to sleep the device is not going to Deep sleep which results in a heavy battery drain. My workaround is to use the free Screen lock and off app for locking the phone properly
- sometimes the touch screen is not responsive after wake. Unlike the ICS version here this problem is solved by pushing the Power button twice​Thanks to:
showp1984 and his source for atmel touchscreen devices
Team CyanogenMOD and especially Nexx
Cyaniarb and his Tiamat kernel​
Cool, thanks!
My mobile
Goes into deep sleep with no problems and screen look responsive
That's great. thanks for share.
Tried it on reaper, it's working but 8 out of the 10 times it's making screen shots instead of going to sleep... Don't know if it's the kernel or reaper?

The same here. Maybe the device thinks we are pressing power + home to make a screenhot.
Edit: If you leave out the back or menu button during swipe then it works, no screenshot is made %)

Hi guys
This is a part of the Reaper features:
Code:
- Added screenshot capability with Power+Home key combo (hold Power, then press Home)
- Added Search Key longpress override: Screenshot, Recent Apps, Power Menu (Reaper Control)
- Added Home Key longpress override: Screenshot, Power Menu (Reaper Control)
Since the s2w code emulates the same signal as pressing the power button (screen_state_off) it is possble that the device confuses both...
The kernel was tested on CM7 which has not these features implemented and works fine.
I have used Reaper some time ago but cannot remember are there any settings to disable the screenshot feature...if there is then your issue will be solved
Well, you should always know the capabilities of the ROM you use...
I just had a look at the settings, but couldn't find anything to disable the feature. But I added the "go to standby" button to the energy widget, so it's not a big problem. For me it's enough to power on the phone with s2w. So thanks for the kernel!

Actually my idea was the same - I have no intentions to upgrade the device soon, so I have to spare my hardware buttons

Works fine for me while set on smartassV2 even after swiping to sleep, the device going to Deep Sleep (tested with CPU Spy v0.4.0)

I assume(sorry if ignorant) that this kernel will replace the new reaper's kernel.
or not?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Well the kernel is not an unlimited are of change. This one is based on the latest CM7 one that is heavily optimized. The only additions are s2w and the governor. No point of adding s2w switch since if someone does not use it he can go with the CM7 default or the Reaper one.
Actually I was considering a revision but there is nothing more to add

What is the best rom(+Kernel?) for

I currently use my Nexus for social networking, Internet browsing and music and want to get the most out of my phone. I need a fast rom with good bat life. I am currently running cm9.1 after running cm10 and 9 and am still not too happy! Thanks in advance!

Currently on 9.1 fresh install, it's okay but bat drain is heavy with barely any app usage..

I've tring some diferent ROMs (all with JB) and I decide to use codename (3.4.1) with marmite (v4.4).
I think that this combo gets very well with battery and it goes fast and smooth. Also, I think that codename is very stable and it has a lot of options to personalize your phone.
I'm running androxide with marmite v.4.5. Great battery life and volume rocker wake was key for me to prevent the broken power button.

What could be better than stock? Seriously. Unless you're looking for more customizable Rom, you won't find better Rom than stock

I was wondering if anyone knows how to have to game run better. I'm using the official JB OTA and Air kernel r1. Any help would really be appreciated.

don't use air, its not very game friendly, also try over clocking. clear ram before starting the game, especially background services, like facebook and things. force stop the app if necessary.

Go Home -> Settings - Manage Apps -> Running, then note down each app that is running.
Then go into the "All" tab, find those apps, and click on Force Close.
Then start Dead Trigger, it ran super smooth on my stock JB after I did the above.
I'm using matrix and FCing apps and it seems to be running better. Before it kept lagging at random moments.

Which ROM is Your Favorite?

First off, this is not "which is the best", this is "which is your favorite". People have their allegiances, I get it, but for those who are new or who want to try a different ROM, a thread here in the Blaze forums would be useful! I also understand there are other threads like this elsewhere in xda, but I want this to be Blaze exclusive!
Ok, so which ROM is your favorite and why? Be descriptive, let our community know!
And most important, this is not a knock on any dev. All you guys do amazing work and without you, we're not here!

My favorite ROM is Thomas.raines ParanoidAndroid! Second ROM I've ever flashed on this Blaze. I love all the features it has from looking like a Phablet to having a tablet UI! One day, I hope it would have the Halo notifications! But of course. We will have to wait for that CM10.1 everyone is waiting for!
Paranoid Android by TR is definitely a favourite. Ran it for a while, but needed stability for work so I went back to CM10 + BlueLightning kernel.
ParanoidAndroid was my second ROM as well and love it. Still love it. If only it had all the sound mods that LiquidSmooth has! The ability to change UI is awesome, the split screen settings menu, and the LZ kernel baked right in are major highlights! Recommend PA to anyone on this forum!

Started on Beastmode's slim bean, have currently been running all the latest Cm10 nightlies. With BlueLightning X2 kernel. Still switch back to slim for a change. Super stable and great battery life on both, can't go wrong.
Props to Racing for AOKP too, along with BlueLightning.
Bugless Beast back in the day on Droid 1! I guess because that was my first Android phone I rooted and the best ROM of the tons I tried!
Not the first time I 'rooted' 'jailbroke' or otherwise gained #su but I LOVED installing new homebrew applications on my PSP handheld gaming system too!
My next favorite ROM? The one developed by someone not trying to sell it to the attention if a kid. Seriously I can't talk professionally about this kind of stuff if I tell my co-worker I'm rooted running CandyCane Super Sweet K.K. for KUSTOM KERNEL on a modified JellyBean android custom ROM called Orange Sherbert Swirl and the amazing Technicolor Steamboat.
Yeah I made all that up just to get my point across! I felt it was necessary lol.

Thanks again guys for awesome roms!

Racing's AOKP. Smooth & stable, no crazy bells & whistles. I like the ROM Control settings. Not interested in split screen phablet stuff, the screen's not big enough for that. Only issus is CPU clock & governor settings not sticking after reboot, but I don't need to reboot that often.

Racings AOKP-NOS injector-Racings Blue lightning X2 Kernel-AC!D Engine V5. I run underclocked at 1.296 most of the time unless i need the extra power. The combo is extremely smooth and stable. Never had a reboot, absolutely no lag, great gaming performance(oc'd GPU included with X2 helps), my average daily battery life is 12-13 hours with 4-4.5 hours screen on time, and almost all settings work as they should besides the built in cpu clock changer which works but doesn't stick after reboot. What more can you ask for?
Edit
Use kernel tuner for changing CPU clocks and governer as well as other great settings.
Edit again...
Forgot to mention I force 2G and disable data 75% of the time because most places I go have WiFi and the area I live in has "light green" coverage meaning there's ****ty 4G signal...Weak Signal=Bad Battery Life. Forcing 2G and disabling data improves battery life noticeably.

Yes, I use a toggle to enable/disable whenever, instead of going through settings. AOKP has a bunch of customizable toggles within the ROM. Good stuff.
The only reason I have been on stock ICS is because instagram was having issues with jb. Or else I would be on a cm variant

I have. While in the option to select your filter the image disappears. Switching filters will bring it back, but only for a second. Workable, but annoying.
My issue was the app crashing when refreshing news feed. You can solve that problem by disabling something under developers settings. Sorry haven't been on jb in a while I can't recall what its called but you will see it. Its an option that is checked by default near the bottom of the page under developer settings
