root or unroot should be doesnt matter as long as you didnt delete the system files/apps and it is a stock rom.

AFAIK, you need stock kernel for OTA update. so in this case, since it is an OTA files, yeah i think you need stock kernel.

same here. thats why i'm on oxygen 2.3.2 for now. stock rom are just not my type so i never try them on all of my 3 droid phones. i always wait for custom ones cuz you need wipe all, flash and enjoy. haha~~

its either oxygen 3.0 or devnull from adamG first cuz he's always fast. took 1 day at max if see the pattern when i was on Desire. not sure now, maybe he's busy.

actually, most of the major upgrade requires new bootloader and radio. This is Nexus S's first major upgrade, from 2.3/2.3.6/etc so its normal if you guys dont need to update radio and bootloader since its Gingerbread.

I have experience Eclair to Froyo, Froyo to Gingerbread, and now Gingerbread to ICS, all requires both upgrades, or at least the radio to make some hardware features to work such as in ICS case here, for signal to work, and while i was on Desire, for camera HD video to work, and so on.

if you have the OTA, all of that are done automatically actually(sometimes i think), but now since we are doing it manually, those are needed.

haha of course you cant remove the search bar by default. the one that you can remove is the one modified by the dev.

ah yeah forgot that option~~ rarely go there.


all will stay intact unless it is wiped.

OTA usually wont FC since it is official. Google wont do something that burden their user, especially the regular users who knows nothing about flashing/wiping/etc.

but if there is FC on system files, maybe just need factory reset from settings, or if FC from app, reinstalling would help.

wipe is actually needed when flashing custom rom only, since the devs have modified the frameworks and such, so different devs = must wipe!

i'm on Brainmaster ICS. its great but i have a slight delay when opening the app drawer. otherwise its good as stock. but well its just for trying. i'll stick with it until a custom rom appears.

CM9 doesnt seem to interest me at the moment. just thinking bout Oxygen 3.0, 3.0, 3.0 .....

I use Matrix with BM's ics.

of course the stock 4.0.3 one. i never liked MIUI~~

So far, its good. faster than stock IMO on this BM's rom. using stock 1Ghz with smartassV2.

under maintenance maybe~ but usually they tell us...

Me! but not really jump ship. just owning all 3 devices at the same. with that i'll be having 4 Android! 3 Samsungs and 1 HTC.

i just accidently jump ship to Gnex this afternoon. so i'll pass my Nexus S to my sister who is dying to have a smartphone. I'll use SGS2 and Gnex.

So i have a total of 5 droids in my house, with 3 droid coming in 3 months time only. damn i got to stop...

oh well, this Nexus gave me a great 1 month(damn that short) though.

Anyone here wanna buy Galaxy Nexus Digi Ori Set 4 months used? Just asking if any of my fellow friends here wanna jump ship to Nexus.

Can nego some more for friends in this thread.

Well seeing how nexus s was successful. i guess will stay with Gnex for 1-2 more years. regardless any device coming out.

and might get back my nexus s from my sister. lolz but need find replacement for her lah.

got this also.. and my fastboot not detected too.. i heard need to have later recovery. mine was 5.0.2.0. flashing 4.0.4 downwards seems fine. testing it. when 4.1.1 got this error back. wanna fastboot recovery but fastboot not working!!

fyi i've tried every cwm available. and too confirm not only me having this Status 7 problem, I have read all 28+ pages last night. Eventually someone replied I need to be on stock. everything stock. meaning start from scratch. just for info if anyone ever get this prob. mostly will happen on i9023 version.

cuz i was rooted and have cwm already~ but well i was forced to went to stock for my problem so yeah got OTA. now to root and cwm again.

anyway, do you guys use BLN? or if there anything else similar to let use know there are notifications on our phone?

thats for the OTA JB rom only. other roms flashing fine for me.

Well I use NoLED in the mean time. looks like my sis likes it more than bln.

i sold my gnex for 800. haha lucky you didnt trick that guy~ my friend bought nexus s second hand for 500 so 400-500 would be reasonable. if 800 better get gnexus la.

yep already ordered it.

guys, is there any place that repair Nexus S screen in KL area? I ask Samsung it cost about RM400 to fix it.

THe screen is not responsive in the bottom area. On the top its ok.
