Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not implying in any way that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely.

Great to see this up. I intend to take out a premium membership on your site - provided that you have a server that can be accessed - the free download is on a dodgy server which is blocked by some ISPs.

You realise that that makes no sense, ye? Why would you infer that you may or may not make more updates? You imply it, I infer it.
On topic:
Thanks for the full release, looks good

Great to see it in the kitchen.
Many thanks

the volume for voice calling is really low since i hv installed this rom ! does anyone had that problem ?

Hi paul thanks for your roms. One problem, on your kitchen i unticked task manager. The option still shows up when you hold the back button down, but when you click it it restarts the system. Is there any way of removing the button completely? thanks

I didn't use kitchen options.
But from all ROMs I've been trying. And this is my first time for MCR, I could say it's the best rom ever for my Tab atm.

having issues with thisrom in order to set custom ringtones for google contacts.

I too believe all these custom roms are softer compared to the stock jj3 rom i was on. But id rather all the other improvements than that exta %10 from the speaker.
Awsome work downloading now.
Cant keep up with all these releases lol

Phone.apk / T-Mob Tab
The patch doesn't seem to work. I still get the VM/MWI icon in the status bar. I can't call out on my Tab so there's no 'tricks' I can do that way. Also, I can't remove Phone.apk since that's how I get my 3G/Data connection. I've already mucked around with different Phone.apk's (from my Vibrant) and it breaks data if it's not correct.

I noticed this earlier on 2 seperate call's.
Hope to see it raised if possible on a future release..

Help I may have bricked my Galaxy Tab
Paul or anyone
I just attempted to flash the latest R1 ROM and I am stuck at the "Galaxy Tab Samsung Screen" can anyone tell me what to do. I cannot seem to get it to do anything else. I am using a Galaxy Tab that I purchased in Malaysia. I have the Modaco kernal installed and I had (or think I had) beta 7 installed prior to this.
Update: Somehow I managed to get it back to screen that Odin can access. I am still trying to get it to connect so Odin can see it though.
Odin is now connected. I don't want to do anything though until somebody gives me an idea of what I should do..
Well I probably completely hosed myself now. I went ahead and tried to reinstall the kernal hoping that would get me to the clockwork recovery screen and I could do something. The connection light is yell but It seems to be stuck in the middle now.
<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
Ok, I finally got Odin to work. I was trying to load up a bad file. I am now back at clockwork. I will see if I an flash the rom.
Well I managed to reflash the rom but now I am stuck on the SAMSUNG logo page. It just seems to loop and buzz. I can get it back into the screen for Odin but reinstalling the kernal does not seem to help. It still loops back on Samsung.
Thanks for any help!

Let it fully reboot.You will be fine.
Then you can try MODACO kernel and ROM again

A TON of stuff to put in, this is just about 'getting it up there'!
It's still pretty nice tho.
P
I guess Ill be the first to indulge...installing now, thanks for an easy flashable version of Desire Z sense, appreciate all the hard work in making my G2 the ****!
BTW - does the Desire Z OC kernel module floating around here work for this rom?
Came from Evil's ROM.
No wipe was required, kernel not overclocked, needs patience when flashing and firstboot, but overall seems to be working fine.
The location app, which didn't work correctly in the other Rom I tried, seems to be missing.
a) Where is said kitchen?
b) Can the kitchen include the 1.5GHz kernel and the "interactive" governor SetCPU?
quick question... would I be able to push lights.vision.ko to the appropriate location to get the trackpad to light up for notifications? i MUCH prefer that over the speaker light led
The locations option somehow got missed out of the kitchen!
I've updated it, and will update the prebake next time i'm properly online (visiting family for the weekend now!)

just flashed with BB and is working perfect so far @ 1.497 ghz

Have fun Paul! Don't let anything from twitter tempt you to start deving away from home lol.
Love the Rom man thnx ques it reboots with no signal like original g2 dp i gotta aply the ota again??
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Help... when I first loaded up this rom, the first thing i did was check to make sure the .com button worked... and it did.
Now that everything is done installing, my .com key no longer works, what happened?
Wi-Fi Hotspot
I really like the ROM so far, but I can't seem to get the Wi-Fi Hotspot working. I had success with the hotspot on the G2's version of stock android, but no luck with HTC Sense.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?
EDIT: Tried it again and it works fine. You just can't have the USB cable plugged into a computer and have WiFi Hotspot on. Might have something to do with the tethering.
I have used the FM radio successfully and have paired with a bluetooth headset. Everything seems to work great on this.
I downloade your Rom on setup I can't find English ( united states) option just a bunch of other countries is it not available other than that great Rom real smooth and also will Bacon bits kernel work on your Rom thanks in advance

I can't do Bluetooth device pairing. I can turn it on but can't pair it with bluetooth hands free device.
pls advice if someone else has this problem
Paired OK here?
P
thanks for the universal g2/z rom.
I hope all follow your good example and do the same.
And we can get rid of one of these forums either dz or g2.
Question do DZ owners just need a proper kernel to run a g2 ready rom?
Or can the just flash and go?
How do I install visionary its not letting me do it on astro

[APP] Tuxility - I9000 utility app

Tuxility in the market http://www.appbrain.com/app/tuxility/com.grimmvarg.android.tuxility
News: I have discovered that editing the settings.db is not very usefull and might make your system unstable. I have therefor decided to choose a less generic way of letting users access edit system settings, like wifi sleep time etc.. Should be done in a day or two
The userbase has grown a lot these last days, which means a lot more feedback. No big bugs as of yet, but please post any issues you find, so I can fix them And off course feature requests!
Tuxility
Hey guys!
Im creating an app for the Samsung galaxy s, Ive only been working on it for a few days, but a few features have found there way into it:
- Flashing a kernel without pc, while phone is on. ( ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765724)
- Back up your current kernel
- Phone codes (view battery stats and various tests of hardware)
- Backing up and restoring /efs
- Reboot to Recovery, Download and standard mode
- Cleaning battery stats
Features to come:
- Toggle Mediascanner on/off
- Editing system settings
- Full System information
- Change system Font
- Sensor dump (for fun)
- Improved GUI, with colors and an icon
- Place backups on external_sd if it exists (thanks _renaud_)
- Add tools for calibration of screen/battery etc..
Requirements:
- Root
- A Samsung Galaxy S (all variants) running Android 2.1 and up.
Why am I releasing this?
Well for one to share the kernel-flashing feature (thanks to supercurio for this). Also to get feedback on what works and not. But more importantly to get feedback on what to add or change about feature and code (which is located here, yes I know my github tree is suboptimal ). I'm used to Java but pretty new to android. So any feedback on the code is appreciated
NOTES ABOUT THE KERNEL FLASHING
I hacked together a filechooser to pick the zImage you want to flash. And you can flash only zImages or Tars including zImage.
The filechooser sets /sdcard/download/ as starting DIR so i suggest you unpack your zImage there. Bakups are stored in /sdcard/.tuxility/backup
And the notice of no responsibility
I take no responsibility if my app breaks your phone, (not that it should, but now i said it) and you try this software at your own risk. On a related note, the code and the app is released under GPLv3. I will however, do all i can to help
Logging is on, so have a look in logcat if something is not working and let me know
I hope someone will find this usefull, and find the time to give me som feedback
Known issues:
The settings file seems to be located elsewhere on the galaxy tab. So if anyone with a tab wants to help me out finding this, that would be great
If flashing kernel fails, and log show "not enough space on device" remove any folder in /cache named "2010-*" that contains a zImage. This is fixed irelease 1.2, I thought that /cache was cleaned at boot, but this was not the case.
The way that all this work
The backup features are pretty straight forward, using a system shell I give a cp/cat/tar command wherever it is suitable. For instance /efs needs to be tared to keep uid and permissions.
For reboot i issue the "reboot <mode>" as root
The kernel install uses the procedure from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765724 and copies a binary file to /apps and uses it to install the new kernel image.
All backups are stored in /sdcard/.tuxility/backup
A SMALL WARNING
Just like anyone will tell you, remove all lagfixes when flashing a new kernel if you are not _sure_ that the new kernel you are flashing support your old lagfix, ktnx
CHANGELOG
V1.2
- Huge code cleanup
- Now using flash_image to flash kernel, thanks to koush!
- no more screen distortion after flash
- No forced reboot after flash
- Better execution controll
- Added phone codes
- Removed edit settings.db (this is to risky, no replacement on the sketch board)
- Starting on feature to fetch latest kernel
V1.1
- Install kernel from tar archive
- Finally have an icon
- A bit more restructuring of code
Android Market will not allow me to use sub 1 versions.. :/
V0.21:
- Restructured the menu, for later additions
- Added remove batterystats
- Backup Kernel now sets date in filename
- Improved filechooser, will not install files with a file extension
- Big cleanup of code
GrimmVarg I will follow your work very closely !
Wow, this is good. CWM doesn't backup the kernel, and with this app, one can easily do it. Would be absolutely wonderful if it can be included in the CWM recovery menu.
Thanks and will try it soon.
Is it somewhat like this?

Yes and no, Its the same concept but different features, except the Secret codes list which I havent implement and the wiping of batterystats. I used SGStools my self before I started on Tuxility, its a very usefull app.
I am making tuxility mostly to get all the features that i need in one app, as I feel that most of these utility apps both overlap on features and miss a few essential features, like flashing a new kernel for instance. So my goal is for Tuxility to be a feature full alternative that cover all common needs, and in addition has specialized features for a give rom/kernel.
Thus feature requests are most welcome
Can you publish this to Android Market?. Further updates are easier that way. Thanks for making this.

Install and backup kernel works fine.
Really nice
Just wanted to let you know i used this to flash Supercurio's VooDoo lagfix kernel. Easy and painless!
Thank you for this tool.

Thanks for the super cool all in one app..
looks fantastic - definitely going to give it a whirl!
Just wanted to throw this out there.
This app works on the Galaxy tab as well. trying to view settings causes a FC however backing up the kernal worked

Hopefully, it is everything you need to build the newest BOCA 2.6.35 kernel for my 2.3.7 release.
Here is my ram disk recovery cpio HERE
update #3
the revolution has begun (well a couple days ago)
http://theandroiddoor.weebly.com/
update #2
Contributor 2.3.7 nightly stable test release uploaded
If you are a contributor, and do not have the password, please pm me
How to become a BOCA contributor:
(In no particular order)
Paypal
Device donate/loan/ or help/support of BOCA port to said device
Promote BOCA honestly on alternative websites
Help users anyway you can
Help me anyway u can
Bug fixes
Giving detailed reviews with honest opinion, of course
Be active in the production of BOCA
BTW: I need someone who knows XML well, and wants to try something new
Etc.......
As usual, after a few, when contributors report no bugs, it get released to everyone else.
UPDATE #1
10/3/2011
Well, XDA, bad news
My computer is down, out for the count. I believe it is the motherboard, but it needs further investigation. A nice BOCA users has offered his old motherboard, and I will contact this user, and see.
But, if it is not doable, I am afraid, I must stop making roms, and developing in general, as I cannot afford a new computer.
Sometime tonight, I will release 2.3.7 nightly test port, for contributors.
The UI is not finished, but it is very stable, daily driver status, I believe.
I ask them to not re-release, link, mirror nor distribute.
Why release to them now, and not everyone?
They actually offered help, helped, or donated in some way. They did not demand a thing, without giving something in return. The total hours I have spent these last months developing a rom, is uncountable. Something like 1 cent and hour. Most likely less than that.
There are many reasons I release my work, and yes, one of the perks, other than seeing others happy with and using my hard work, is paypal donations, and I thank every contributor- no matter how they contributed- as a new friend. thank you.

UPDATE 2
Google android source codes have been removed.
Google attacked by hackers, and for security reasons, they pulled their public repositories.
I have no idea when they will open again.
https://twitter.com/#!/warty9
This basically means every android device development (source roms and custom kernels) is in limbo, for now
Until then BOCA developement is on hold, mostly.
No new kernel.
(New kernel hopes were to have recovery that reads internal sdcard, bfg scheduler and voodoo also)
But can't compile without the source code.
HTC G2 kernel will be uploaded later today.
Ill look into a terminal copy paste that mounts your internal sdcard in recovery,
Until then.

Install Instructions
For Coming From Any Rom That isn't BOCA, MIUI or unofficial port based off of CM7 (Teks)
(see below for those instructions)​
As you all know, when switching from rom to rom, something called a safe stock re-partitioned is very much preferred, almost required. Even more so, when jumping from roms with different os bases, example is going from a 2.3 based rom to a 2.3.4 (or reverse).
You need to do this process to kinda bleach out anything that remains of the old rom, as many times these arent properly cleared through a recovery erase, and can leave behind bits and pieces that can, and frequently do, disrupt the next rom you try to run. This is never a good thing, as it can cause anything from a bootloop to mysterious ghost like behaviors. Not to mention many things many not work correctly in your new rom.
Team Overcome has created, or basically repacked a way to do this. Many thanks!!!!
TeamOvercome website HERE
1) Go to Overcomes website, and download a zip called: ROM | 001001-GB-Stock-Safe-v5
(this is the base, non branded 'official' release of Gingerbread from Samsung. Overcome has made a few modifications to this file, and added Odin, modems and Samsung SGT driver installer to the zip)
2) While at the Overcome site, also download a zip called: KERNEL | 002001-Overcome Kernel V3.3.1 (TAR)
(this is a kernel made by AB, with some nice work done to it. But what we need it for is to convert our system to ext4. It will not run BOCA)
3) Unzip the GB-Stock zip, and open it up.
4) Open SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86, and run it. This will reinstall, and clean up any old drivers for your tab.
5) plug in your tab when done, and let you computer fully install you SGT's drivers. Once its finished, unplug your tab.
6) Unplug any USB devices from your computer, & Open Odin3_v1.7, once it opens, plug your tab back in to your computer, in download mode.
Under ID:COM, a yellow window should now state your tabs is connected.
7) Place gt-p1000_mr.pit inside the PIT slot, PDA slot, place: GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar
8) Make sure Re-partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked, press start.
9) Once finished, and your tab has rebooted, press reset in Odin. On your tab, skip through all the setup options, and reboot into download mode.
10) Plug your tab back into your computer, and place: 002001-Overcome_Kernel_v3.3.1.tar into the PDA slot, and press start.
11) Let your tabs sexy robot voice convert your system, once done, boot into recovery, clear everything, go to zip installer, and choose BOCA from your external SD card. Let install, and then reboot.
12) As with ANY rom, please do a full battery calibration with the included apk, ASAP.
13) Enjoy BOCA!!
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
(For when coming from BOCA, MIUI or unofficial port based off of CM7​1) Boot into your current recovery and clear dalvic cache
2) Go to zip installer and choose BOCA from your external SD card
3) Boot into BOCA, and reboot again.
4) As with ANY rom, please do a full battery calibration with the included apk, ASAP.
Sorry maybe I need new glasses but I can't find the link to download the rom from your website.

and I've been up two days straight.
I need sleep, bad
But like I said, feel free to post here, as users like to see both the good and the bad before they decide.
try a reboot into BOCA ll Recovery, and do the cache whipes again.
If that don't work try a fix permissions.
No?
If that doest work, I need to check dip7 new kernel.
Its a new release that came after BOCA. Maybe its not compatable anymore.
If everything fails, u need to restock and try from a different kernel.

[ROM] *UNOFFICIAL* ShinyROM [AOSP 4.4.2] KOT49H (No mods, completely stock!)

ORIGINAL CREDIT TO BALDWINGUY77 OVER ON ROOTZWIKI. CHECK OUT THE ORIGINALi: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36706-ro...a-like-stock-android-442-kot49h/#entry1031982
I'm only port to maguro.
Is a port from original rom no have base maguro only changes for use GSM networks
This ROM is Android Kitkat 4.4.2, build KOT49H. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working. I'll go into detail about those things below, but basically I just want the ROM to make your phone feel stable and shiny and new as if it has just received a new OTA update. That being said, it's clear that the landscape of Nexus devices is changing as new ones are released. Therefore, the other primary goal of this ROM is to keep our Galaxy Nexus as close to the modern Nexus design as possible. This means that I will also add in features that will still be stock, but will also make our phones as close to a current Nexus as possible.
As for how I handle the forum side of things, I'm always open to comments, questions, suggestions, requests, etc. I know that most of those things will often be in the form of criticism, but it's okay, I think I can handle it That being said, I do also have a life and am a college student, so I may not get to come on here ALL the time. I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.2, build KOT49H
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
(De)Odexed
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off
Updated frequently
Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)
Bluetooth streaming
Google account sign-in and auto-restore of apps and settings
Google Wallet
Location Services (pretty fast GPS lock in my area also)
Believe it or not, December is still a month!
Photosphere
Android beam
Photo editing with the new filters
Email
Exchange support
Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)

1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's Superuser Root ZIP, the radios installation ZIP, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. Flash the ROM
OPTIONALS:
11. Root: If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
12. Mod's: If you like any mod you can install zip now
13. Change kernel: U can change aosp stock kernel. Tiny Kernel, Fancy Kernel, Dirty V, Franco Kernel, Mpokang kernel.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!

No GApps "Add-on" Zip
Some people don't like the way ShinyROM includes its own GApps. Flash this zip directly after the ROM and it will strip out most of the included GApps so that you may use the preferred GApps of your choosing. This will leave the core GApps (Store, Services, etc.) as well any others required for basic functionality (Keyboard, Camera, Launcher, Dialer, etc.) since there are none of the AOSP counterparts included.

[ROM] [AOSP](8/9/14) Shiny ROM: OTA-Like, Stock Android [4.4.4] [KTU84P]

Shiny ROM: Android 4.4.4, KTU84P for Galaxy Nexus (Maguro)
Skip right to the downloads (if you dare )
Hello there XDA GNex community! I'll admit this is a pretty spontaneous post; I've been building ROMs from the Android Open Source (Project) for awhile now, but I've never "published" any of them. I myself used to own a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, so I've always built from AOSP to make sure I'm as up to date as possible. Well, that's a little background so let's get going with the overview of the ROM itself:
Overview
This ROM is Android KitKat 4.4.4, build KTU84P. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working.

I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.4, build KTU84P
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off

Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)

Email

Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)
More things that aren't important enough to mention here - check out the changelog for a more comprehensive list
Possible Bugs
It's impossible for me to test for and notice EVERY single possible bug in the operating system, so as of right now I can't say that there are any, although I'm sure you will find some. If you do, report them here!
Other IMPORTANT Information
Root
But wait, nothing in this post said anything about root!!!11!!1!1!!! That's right, my ROM does NOT have root built in! (I don't use any root apps, and it's important to the whole "OTA-like" theme). That being said, the ROM is easily rootable; I made sure of this because I know that many, many of you will use root for many useful purposes. If you want to root the ROM, it's as easy as installing Chainfire's new superuser control app/su with this ZIP file. More detailed information can be found in the "Installation Instructions" section. **NOTE** If you are rooted and upgrading to a new build, you should not have to reflash the rooting flashable ZIP because the ROM will keep root for you.
Updates
Now that the ROM has gotten to this stage, the update policy needs a bit of editing Based on the stats I have access to from the website host and data that I collect myself, it seems like Shiny ROM is currently (as of May 27, 2014) stable for at least 80% of the users who have downloaded it. Based on this, and because the ROM is stock, Nexus-like, it doesn't really make sense to update the ROM as frequently as before. The ROM will still be updated as soon as possible after new versions of Android are released. In between Android versions, I will work on making things 100% stable, although that goal isn't always attainable with older devices and aging hardware support. If we decide to explore other paths for the ROM, you will see many more updates If/when the time comes for me to stop updating Shiny ROM, I will let everyone know in a clear way.
Radios
This ROM will (most likely) work with any maguro radios (so long as you have the appropriate ones for your device/area; however, I of course recommend using the most recent radios doe your device. You can find flashable ZIPs of all radio versions in the download post.
Bootloader
Once again, I'm assuming that this ROM will work with all tuna bootloaders; BUT for optimal experience and performance, use the newest Google-approved bootloader, PRIMEMD04. My ZIP installation package for that bootloader can be downloaded here.
ClockworkMod Recovery
I personally recommend using ClockworkMod Recovery as it has always worked well for me with no quirks. Android 4.2 messed up a few aspects of recoveries because of its multi-user system. ClockworkMod Recovery has been updated to correct some of these issues, and I recommend updating to the most recent version, 6.0.4.7. You can flash either the touch recovery or non-touch recovery image through fastboot OR you can download my flashable recovery update ZIP (touch/non-touch) and flash it in recovery. Check out the installation instructions for more details on this.
Some Other Not-so-important Information
Naming Conventions
All of my ROM ZIP files are automatically generated by my build computer. All builds begin with the prefix ShinyROM_maguro_aosp. That prefix is always followed by the date in mmddyy format (e.g. 112212), a hyphen ("-"), and the time in 24-hour, hhmmss format (e.g. 153945). Finally, all builds end with the "signed" suffix - it just helps me know which packages have finished building and which have not. Hopefully this helps everyone to know which update is newest; I stay away from version numbers because I let Google do all of the version control.
Source
In keeping with the spirit of open-source, all relevant Shiny ROM code can be viewed on Github. I'm not extremely experienced with Github, so bear with me as I learn! Thank you!
File Hosting
I've switched over from using Dev-host to a privately hosted site, graciously and generously given to me by user Goofball. Dev-host is still an amazing service, but it's much more convenient for me to use a privately hosted site, plus I get my own suburl and FTP access! HUGE thanks to Goofball! The private hosting will definitely help me deliver a better experience to you guys as far as downloading goes. You can view all of my uploaded, public files here: http://shinyrom.goofball.org/
Also, if anyone ever wants to mirror for me, please feel free so long as you keep the file name and the file itself intact. As for everyone who downloads from a posted mirror: BE CAREFUL! Always use a virus scanner and be careful with what you are putting on your device!
Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT - Note: You can flash all of these ZIPs in CWM or TWRP*)
*Android 4.4 KitKat builds must be installed using the latest version of your preferred recovery!
ROM
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's SuperSU Root ZIP, radio installation ZIPs, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. If you are updating your radios, flash the radio ZIP
11. If you are updating your bootloader, flash PRIMEMD04-signed.zip
12. Flash the ROM (ShinyROM_maguro_aosp...signed.zip)
13. If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!
**Note: If you are simply upgrading to a new version of the ROM and want to keep root, follow the exact instructions above, and do not format /system. It really is not necessary to format /system at any time (unless specifically noted), as the ROM installer has this function built in.
Mods
1. Download the latest version of the mod(s) you wish to install from the download post.
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. Install the mod(s) you downloaded in step 1.
10. Fix permissions (not really necessary)
11. Reboot and enjoy!
**Note: You can remove all mods you've installed by dirty flashing the latest version of the ROM.
ClockworkMod Recovery (Fastboot method - must have an unlocked bootloader and fastboot in your path)
1. Download either the CWM touch recovery image or non-touch recovery image to your computer and rename it to "recovery.img".
2. Power off your phone.
3. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
4. Plug your phone into your computer using the standard USB cable.
5. Open the command prompt/terminal and navigate to the folder where your "recovery.img" is saved.
6. Type "fastboot devices" to make sure your phone is recognized; a serial number should show up on the screen.
7. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and wait for the process to complete (should be quick).
8. You're done! Use the volume keys to select "Recovery" and boot into your new recovery!
ClockworkMod Recovery (Flashable ZIP method - easier)
If you are updating your recovery before flashing a ROM, these steps should ALL be completed PRIOR to flashing the ROM.
1. Download either the touch recovery flashable ZIP or the non-touch recovery flashable ZIP.
2. Place the ZIP file downloaded in step 1 on your internal storage/sdcard.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Choose "Install update from sdcard"
7. Select "Choose file from sdcard"
8. Find the flashable recovery ZIP file you downloaded and install it
9. Back up to the root menu of recovery
10. Select "advanced"
11. Select "reboot recovery"
12. The phone should boot up into your new recovery!
Credits
As with most ROMs, I only did a small part to get everything together. Also, a note that should be made here is that when I am using someone else's file, I ALWAYS host files on the Shiny ROM server to ensure that I don't put any unnecessary stress on their servers. Any file, however, still belongs to and is accredited to its original creator as listed below:
Willyjay - For providing us with lots of amazing and innovative mods for the ROM!
Inmanster - Another great modder who we are fortunate to have here in the thread. He works in collaboration with Willyjay and his mods for many things, but also does some of his own unique mods!
Chainfire - For their SuperSU app and su binary, as well as the convenient ZIP update package, which was previously used and recommended. Check out their website, http://www.chainfire.eu/
Groupers - My new buddy who helped me out with a GPS issue that popped up in 4.2.
Google - Without their amazing staff and willingness to share the source code of their operating system, I wouldn't have been able to build this ROM! Of course, all of the Google apps are theirs, along with the Play Store and system apps. They really are the true owners of all of this.
Samsung - We all may have some mixed feelings about them, but in the end they gave us the amazing, hackable phone that is the Galaxy Nexus.
XDA - By providing such a great Android community, ROMs like this one are able to easily connect with users and get their work out there
Dev-Host - The file-sharing service with virtually no limits on sharing - kudos to them and their hard work. d-h.st
Koush and the ClockworkMod/ROM Manager Team - They make the best recovery that's been around for longest, and their constant updates allow us to keep making ROMs! Also, Koush's recently released open source Superuser control app is the best available and the one linked to in the thread. Thanks Koush! clockworkmod.com
Kevdliu - Huge thanks to this dev and their amazing quick settings mod!
The CyanogenMod Team - For a working implementation of DSPManager on Android which can be ported to any AOSP-based ROM! Without them and Bigwavedave25, the DSP manager mod would not be available! Be sure to thank them and to check out the CyanogenMod website! Also, for their feature-filled version of the stock Messaging app which is available as a mod for my ROM!
bouchigo - a user who has helped to make the CM10 Messaging app available as a mod for my ROM in conjunction with Willyjay for bringing it to my attention.
Schoat333 - A user who helped out Willyjay with the bubble styled MMS mods. The credit for the screenshots to go along with the mods goes to him!
Yarly - The most experienced admin I've ever had the pleasure of talking with, who taught me some new debugging tricks and answered some of my questions.
Razorloves - Another admin who helped me out with a few problems and answered a lot of my questions!
Tiny4579 - A kernel dev who also took the time to talk with me and answer a few of my questions.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work and sharing that work with others!
DISCLAIMER
Come on guys, it's a Galaxy Nexus, to what extent could it really get messed up? Nonetheless, in case someone flashes this then puts their phone in the microwave or something and tries to blame it on me, I am not directly responsible for anything that occurs, either negative or positive, from flashing this ROM to your phone. Despite that, I am posting in the spirit of the Android community, a community that I have embraced and belonged to for several years, and I would never try to hurt any of your innocent, beautiful phones. Also, none of the original source for Android belongs to me, nor do any of Google's apps. All preinstalled applications are property of Google, Inc. and I make no claim of ownership to them.
Okay that's about it! THE ROM DOWNLOAD LINK AND A SUMMARY OF ALL FILE DOWNLOADS CAN BE FOUND BELOW!

Mods
Before installing any of the packages below, please be sure to check out the mod installation instructions in the OP!
Key
To make mod installation more convenient, all mod links will now be color-coded based on the files they change. The key shows what each color corresponds with:
Red - SystemUI.apk
Blue - framework-res.apk
Purple - SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk
Green - Other
If you install mods that are in the same color group, it is likely that they will overwrite each other. It is OK to overwrite a previously installed mod, but please note that the originally installed mod will no longer be there. If you want to completely revert to stock, flash the "Back to Stock ZIP" mod under the baldwinguy77 mod section. This mod replaces your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files with ones from the stock ROM.
Developer-specific Mods
All of these mods have been provided by some really awesome mod developers who take the time to continue to make updated mods for my newest ROM builds. That being said, they have lives and can't always get the mods out right away, so make sure the date next to their name matches the build you're running! They usually are around the thread and are open to doing custom mods if you ask Be sure to thank them and check out the credits section for more info!
Baldwinguy77 (Updated for 8/9/14 build)
Back to Stock ZIP - Returns you to the stock version of the ROM by removing SystemUI and framework-res mods.
Stock kernel flashable ZIP - Overwrites any custom kernel you have installed with the stock kernel normally packaged with the ROM.
Inmanster (Updated for 3/9/14 build)
36 DPI Nav. Bar - Replaces the stock navigation bar with a smaller (height-wise), 36 DPI version.
Black Dash-style Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with black, dash-style ones.
Blue Stock Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with blue-colored ones.
Carrier Text Replacement - Replaces the carrier text on the lockscreen and pulldown notification shade with "Galaxy Nexus".
Extended Battery Framework Mods - Improve accuracy of battery level reporting for those using extended batteries.
2100 mAh (with Carrier Text Replacement mod)
3050 mAh
3800 mAh
5900 mAh (with No CRT-off Animation mod)
Grey Battery Percentage - Enables display of the current battery percentage in the status bar with grey-colored font.

No CRT-off Animation - Removes the stock, default CRT-like screen off animation.
White Zenyth-style Softkeys - Replaces the stock navigation bar buttons with white, zenyth-style ones.
Universal Mods & Downloads
These mods have been compiled by myself, sometimes in conjunction with the modders above, to always work with any version of the ROM (but not necessarily any device). Therefore, you don't have to worry so much about these being up-to-date because they should always work. If that is ever not the case, simply PM me and we'll get it fixed This section also includes some other Verizon Galaxy Nexus related downloads such as the latest radios and bootloader. You can use these according to the installation instructions in the OP.
Universal Mods
AOSP Web Browser (for Android 4.4) - Installs the AOSP web browser with Chrome bookmark syncing for Android 4.4.
DSP Manager (for Android 4.4) - Installs the DSP Manager app along with the audio libs and configs important to running the service, allowing you to customize the audio equalizer of your device. At the moment, certain apps on Android 4.4 do not work with the modular DSP service.

No GApps "Add-on" Zip
Some people don't like the way ShinyROM includes its own GApps. Flash this zip directly after the ROM and it will strip out most of the included GApps so that you may use the preferred GApps of your choosing. This will leave the core GApps (Store, Services, etc.) as well as any others required for basic functionality (Keyboard, Camera, Launcher, Dialer, etc.) since there are none of the AOSP counterparts included.
This is particularly handy for GApps packages that try to measure the free space and may fail to install if it feels there isn't enough room.
Enjoy!
Finally! Boom!

No worries! I actually love having the GApps included, but a lot of people were fussing about it in Sesme's port thread so I thought I'd help out.
Also if you're interested, on xda here we've got a complete maguro radio thread and CWM thread I maintain:
[REF] [RADIO] [GSM] Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250 Baseband Collection & Discussion
[RECOVERY] [GN] [GSM] ClockworkMod Recovery Official + Nightlies [Flashable Zip]
:good:
Is this rom lagging for anyone? Right after I flash it I can't even pass the Setup Wizard ..
Just awesome man! The port was already the best ROM. Pure stock, and I can tell you, it's blazing fast!

Great work man!
Official build both on toro and maguro now,could you make one for toroplus?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Awesome! Exactly what we need.
Giving this ROM a go.
Nice to see its official now. But on post #1 there are some reference to rootzwiki as xda and I know its probably a copy+paste thing that's why. Just pointing it out

Hey there! I'd love to push out builds for toroplus as well - I think it's safe to say that's next in the pipeline.

Oops! I thought I got all of the necessary edits but I missed the one right at the beginning! *Facepalm* Thank you for pointing that out - it's fixed now
Are those battery Extended Battery Framework zips compatible with maguro? I downloaded them from toro's RootzWiki thread a while ago and they were giving me a bootloop
Also, can I use them with other ROMs?
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus utilizzando Tapatalk
I've read that it's not possibile to flash ROM over a stock 4.3 rom.
Someone can confirm this? Also if I wipe /cache partition and Dalvik cache?
Investigating it seems that zip file contains an update script which only overwrites the entire /system mount point.
So, what are the consequences of updating ROM over a stock 4.3 rom?
