flashed jb and gapps jb - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120717-signed.zip from clockwork recovery, rebooted waited about 10 mins, just when i was going to give up it booted !!
Got Google?
Do you have a Google Account ?
If you use Gmail, answer Ues
- Yes
- No
Selecting Yes, takes you to 'Select Wi-Fi'
Selecting No, takes you back to Make it Google, options: Get an account, Not now
Selecting Not now takes you to 'Use Google Location': Allow Google's Location service.. and Use my location..
Unticking both takes you back to the Welcome screen
If I press Menu button I get WPS Push Button and Add Network, if I click the 3 digits icon next to Select Wi-Fi I get 'Automatic setup (WPS) - which reports 'Request failed. Please try again in a few minutes'
So can't actually get into any custom settings which is annoying !!
Swiped screen down to reveal time, day and date etc, tapped settings option, nothing displayed
Will try flashing kernel and rebooting

awesome to hear you guys got this booting. jordfaz did you have to do many changes to the kernel to boot?
also if you guys havn't seen, ajrty33 has posted resized LatinIME.apk, Launcher2.apk, and CMWallpapers.apk that are a heck of alot smaller than the ones included. definitely take a look at that if you get a chance to save some space.
loxxy, can you flash the rom after lights formatall and then not flash gapps. try to boot into the rom without flashing gapps first and go into wifi settings and see if you can change the avoid low signal box.

Test build 3
DO NOT FLASH GAPPS
URL:
http://www.mediafire.com/?h2dait0sbehlec2
Working:
Wi-Fi
Google Play Store
Browser
Not working:
Root
Let us know
Please note:
Not finding root binary, need to flash the following under recovery:
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC2-arm-signed.zip
File Manager not installed
These are flags for test build 4
Android keyboard dies all the time if another language is chosen.
I still have the wifi 'poor connection' problems, so that's where I'm stuck.
I'm going to wipe everything and try again, perhaps I forgot something.
Also, google chrome indicated there was something wrong ("unsafe") with the downloaded .zip file.. not important probably.
Can I ask where you found CWM 5.8 for your Hero ? Last verison I've found was 2.5.0.7.
gapps for jb is pretty toxic for hero at the moment when it comes to wi-fi.
With test build 3 you can open Wi-Fi settings, and switch off poor connection avoidance.
Working on build 4 at the moment to fix the rooting issues, then jordfaz and myself will crack on with fixing keyboard language issues

Preface:
The Galaxy Nexus (GT-I9250) is a touchscreen Android smartphone developed by a partnership between Google and Samsung. The phone and operating system were developed collaboratively by engineers from both companies. It is the third generation successor to Google's previous flagship phones: the Nexus One and Nexus S. The Galaxy Nexus has a high-definition (1280 × 720) Super AMOLED display with curved glass, an improved camera and has an unlockable bootloader to allow further development and end-user modification. Nexus devices are the first Android devices to receive updates to the operating system. The name of this smartphone is the result of co-branding between the Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus brands of Android smartphones. The device is known as the Galaxy X in Brazil, however, due to a trademark on the "Nexus" brand.
The Galaxy Nexus was unveiled jointly by Google and Samsung on October 19, 2011 in Hong Kong. It was released in Europe on November 17, 2011.
It is one of the few phones recommended by the Android Open Source Project for building Android from source.
The Galaxy Nexus is no longer available for sale on the Google Play Store as of October 29, 2012 with the announcement of its successor, the LG Nexus 4.

- More secured ADB. (as 4.2.2)
- Fix the Bluetooth audio bugs.
- Better battery performance noticed.
- Performance enhancements.
-System UI lag also gone.
-Camera rotation lag is reduced.
-Dial pad autocomplete, can be enabled from call settings.
-you will notice more ram freeing.

Questions & Answers
Q1) I didn't receive OTA update and i am on unrooted stock firmware?
A Go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Services Framework, clear data, then go to Settings > About phone > System update > Check now. repeat procedure many times.
Q2) Kies program does not recognize my Gnex, i want to update firmware?
A Gnex firmware is not supported by Samsung Kies. it is updated directly from Google.
Q3) Can i make a screen shot on stock firmware?
A Yes you can! user doesn’t need to root the device or employ third-party apps just to take a photo of what's happening on screen. Taking a screenshot is simple, just press the volume down and power buttons together. The device will quickly take a snapshot of the screen and you will find it in your notifications.
Q4) What is Barrel Roll?
A As part of Google's regular antics, it had introduced a "barrel roll" trick for desktop browsers. Type "do a barrel roll" as a search term, and Google would demonstrate the power of modern browsers by flipping everything around on your screen. Your Android device can also do a barrel roll if you speak out the same command. Again, It's great fun to show off.
Q5) How can i uninstall an app. without going to setting?
A Long-pressing on an app within the app drawer pops up a couple of menus along the top of the screen. App Info gives you the boring technical stuff about how much memory it's taking up, or you can fling it off the other way to uninstall it.
Q6) How can i go directly to the quick settings menu?
A expand notification bar by sliding two fingers.
Q7) What is inverted rendering?
A Inverted rendering is a posh way of saying it makes the pages black and turns the text white, so it looks like you're reading the internet from 1997. It also supposedly saves battery, plus is easier on the eyes if you're reading in the dark. It's under the browser's settings tab, within the accessibility area - and there's a contrast slider, too.
Q8) How can i reboot into safe mode?
A Safe mode, the savior of so many Windows PCs! If you are experiencing a problem with your Gnex and you want to determine whether it is being caused by a third-party app, long-press the power button, then long-press the Power off option. Choose OK to reboot in safe mode, which completely disables all third-party apps on your device. If the problem goes away when you’re in safe mode, you should reboot your device and start removing recently installed apps until the problem goes away.
Q9) What does reset app. preferences means?
A Android gives you loads of different options for each installed app, and on the whole this is a very good thing. Sometimes it can be a bad thing, though: you may find your phone playing up because a crucial app has been disabled, or you've changed the notifications for something important like emails. In the apps drawer, you'll find Reset app preferences under the settings. This resets all your apps on a global level, returning actions and data settings to their original levels.
Q10) What is imojis?
A "Emojis" are the Japanese version of emoticons. You can enable emoji support for the default Jelly Bean keyboard by choosing Language & input in the settings app, then going to the settings for the stock Android keyboard. Here, choose Add-on dictionaries and select Emoji for English words. When you next type certain words (there's a complete list here) you'll see its symbol appear in the predictions bar.
Q11) What is the difference between takju and yakju?
A These android builds are almost the same but there are some differences in terms of their android updates. Takju: Mobiles which brought from Google play store in USA and come with a Google wallet pre-installed. In these devices, android update is pushed by Google itself and they are almost first to receive an OTA update. Yakju: Mobiles which brought from Google store but outside of USA, update are also pushed by Google, but this update might delay by some days or weeks. So, do check your android build if your device is running android build other than takju, then change it in takju build to an OTA update first.
Q12) How do i know what is my Gnex android build?
A Download Android System Info application from play store or you can check it from Maps>setting>about.
Q13) I can not see Developer Options in settings?
A Google hide this option, to enable it just go to settings---->about phone, tap 7 times on "build number" and it will be shown in settings.
Q14) how to make apps, data and sdcard backup & restore?
A Refer to post # 286.
Q15) I received 4.3 OTA update, ADB can not recognize my Gnex. What should I do?
A Download and install Android SDK, if you already have it on your PC just update tools and platform-tools. you must have latest ADB version (1.0.31). If you do not want to install Android SDK, download attached file (thx to xaueious).
Q16) How can i make my Gnex feel snappier?
A By speeding up (or disabling) the animated fade-in effects you see when switching between tasks, you’ll see a boost in performance and faster screen transitions. Start by unhiding “Developer options” as described above. Once in “Developer options,” scroll down to the “Window animation scale” and “Transition animation scale” options and set both to .5x. You can even turn each of these off and transitioning between apps and pages will be almost instant. If you ever want to go back, remember the defaults for both of these settings are 1x.
Q17) How can i improve my gaming graphics?
A If you are a hard-core gamer, you probably already know what 4x anti-aliasing is. First, enable Developer Options as described above, then go to Settings and click on Developer Options and enable Force 4x MSAA. Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a technique used to improve image quality. Since the Gnex has a GPU capable of supporting MSAA, this setting should make your graphics look more detailed when you are playing advanced games. Keep in mind this will also cause your GPU to work harder and your device may get hotter and consume more power than normal. It’s also possible that all games may not support this.
Q18) I want to see Jelly Bean on my screen, can i?
A Yes you can, go to settings---->about phone tap quickly 4-5 times on android version, you will see a big Jelly bean, touch and hold it, you will see small flying Jelly beans.
Q19) How can i customize my LED notifications?
A A free app called Light Flow Lite allows you to take control of the colors of your notification LED. It also makes your Gnex flash one color after another. This app allows you to set the notification color for over 250 applications and system events including missed calls, low battery, no signal, voice mail, calendar reminders, Gmail messages, email messages, SMS messages, MMS messages, Twitter notifications and more.
Q20) How can i put my Gnex in fastboot/recovery mode?
A Turn off your phone, press and hold down Volume Up and Down keys + Power button at the same time until fastboot (bootloader) mode (image of an Android with Start) appears then release the keys. Press volume up or down and select recovery by pressing power button. (For stock recovery, when you see an android logo with exclamation mark, press power + volume up to see the recovery menu).
Q21) How can i put my Gnex in download mode (odin mode)?
A Turn off your phone, press and hold down Volume down + Power button at the same time until odin mode appears then release the keys.
Q22) Why google voice search is crashing when i press on mic when i am on a custom rom?
A Update google search from play store.
Q23) My Gnex screen is turning on by itself, what is happening?
A It is caused by an application, usually by live wallpapers, try to find it and delete it, or install an antivirus app., i recommend Dr.Web Anti-virus, scan, delete, wipe cache and dalvik (optional).
Q24) sometimes i lose packet data (3G) when i turn it off then on, i turn off then turn on my Gnex to enable packet data again?
A There is no need to turn your phone off and on to re-enable packet data, just long press on power button, enable airplane mode for 3-5 seconds then disable it.
Q25) I rooted my Gnex, what to do next?
A It is recommended to make a nandroid backup immediately.
Q26) I rooted my Gnex 4.3, made a nandroid backup, but i can not find my backup folder?
A Use a file manager, enable root option, your backup folder is located in data/media/clockworkmod or mnt/shell/emulated/clockwordmod.
Q27) The kernel does not support PGM, is there a solution?
A change the kernel, or install intellicover application.
Q28) Do i need to wipe cache partition when flashing a new rom?
A No, there is no need to wipe cache, because when you wipe data/factory reset, cache is wiped automatically. Some said to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing a new rom to prevent any potential conflict.
Q29) I rooted my Gnex 4.3, flash custom recovery, but when i reboot into recovery, it shows the stock recovery!?
A Every OTA update places two files on device system (that are not there on a non-update stock ROM) that re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY boot. The two files are /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. You need to make sure that these files are either deleted or renamed, or else custom recovery will disappear when you reboot. These files serve no purpose other than re-flashing the stock recovery on every boot. So, by using something like Root Explorer, delete or rename them, and re-flash your custom recovery.
Q30) My Gnex won't start, i can not get into fastboot mode, only i can get into download mode?
A Use odin to flash stock firmware here.
Q31) What is the easiest way to install samsung driver?
A The easiest way is to install Samsung Kies.
Q32) How can i flash stock image on my Gnex?
A See efrant thread.
Q33) What about governors, I/O schedulers.....?
A See droidphile thread.
Q34) How to properly post a kernel bug (LAST_KMSG)?
A See ciprianruse88 thread.
Q35) What is the best kernel for my Gnex?
A There is no something called "best kernel". You must try many kernels and decide what suit your rom and your need.

Rooting:
Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. Rooting is similar to jailbreaking devices running the Apple iOS operating system. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system. Rooting enables all the user-installed applications to run privileged commands that are typically unavailable to the devices in their stock configuration.
Legality: The Free Software Foundation Europe argues that it is legal to root or flash any device. According to the European Directive 1999/44/CE, replacing the original operating system with another does not void the statutory warranty that covers the hardware of the device for two years unless the seller can prove that the modification caused the defect.
On July 26, 2010, the United States announced a new exemption making it officially legal to root a device and run unauthorized third-party applications, as well as the ability to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.
Safety: I Have always said that the person should learn the Android OS before rooting. It is a good idea to have an idea of what rooting is doing and what it will affect. I would say spend your time really learning the OS which is not a small task. Then, if you still feel like it, go ahead and root. While rooting can help you learn many things about your device, it also can reap very bad consequences, such as:
-Bricking your phone (or in an easier way to explain, making your phone a pretty paper weight).
-Corrupting core files.
-Stopping OTA updates from going to your phone.
-Voiding phone warranty.
-Have your phone open to malicious software and applications that can do serious harm to your phone.
As you can see, it can reap very negative things. I have read/seen people who have literally had to buy brand new phones because they tried the latest and greatest rom. Rooting is essentially something that you must take at your own risk & caution. Generally, if you follow exactly the procedure of rooting made by developers, you will be more likely on the safe side.
Root process: See jabakuba thread.
What to do after rooting?: 1) make a nandroid backup via custom recovery 2) backup efs partition (save your IMEI and NV_DATA):
Install "terminal emulator" from play store, open it and type the following (enter after each line):
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/efs.img
Then move efs.img to a safe place on your pc.

Problems can happen:
-Stuck into a Bootloop: Bootloops are mainly caused by system files interfering with each others which cause instability and/or crash at the boot sequence. so what to do??
Pull out battery then reinsert it, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot. If not, format data, system, cache using recovery and restore stock firmware (supposing that you did a nandroid backup before). if you don't have a backup to restore, flash any custom rom from your sdcard after formatting system & data & cache. If you don't have a custom rom in your sdcard, push one from your pc using adb (supposed that you have adb file or sdk on your pc): boot into recovery, connect your phone to the computer open command prompt and write the following command then hit enter (supposing that your rom is placed on D):
Code:
adb push D:\name of rom.zip /data/media/
Or
Code:
adb push D:\name of rom.zip /sdcard/
Then
Code:
adb reboot recovery
once done, go to your phone and install the rom.zip from recovery, reboot.
If none of above methods works, then flash stock image for your Gnex using fastboot commands here.
-Phone-Triangle-computer: If your phone can not boot, can not boot in fastboot or download modes, maybe after a bad flash, and screen shows phone--triangle--computer pic, so it is sort of download mode, use odin to flash stock firmware using this tutorial.
-Nexus is quietly dead: If your phone did not respond to anything, it won't turn on, can not boot into fastboot or download mode, black screen, try "OMAP FLASH", it can save your Gnex.
For 4.2.2 only:
-AOSP Rom incompatibility: After supplying all needed hardware drivers by AOSP, developers has updated AOSPA. So you absolutely need to be up to date regarding Google Bootloaders and Radios, which are not part of the Rom. Or else your device will be incompatible, unable to make calls perhaps and maybe other issues.
Regarding Bootloader, it still the same build for 4.2.2 (primelc03) but the Radio has changed to xxlj1. So you must flash Radio to the latest build using "Fastboot" or through "Recovery":
Fastboot method:(I prefer this)
Unzip "fastboot-radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img.zip" (attached), put unzipped image (in the file) into fastboot folder (attached), enable "usb debugging" option, boot into fastboot mode, connect your device to your PC, open a command prompt into fastboot folder and type:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.img
Hit "enter"
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Hit "enter"
Code:
fastboot reboot
Hit "enter
Recovery method:
Put "cwm-radio-maguro-i9250xxlj1.zip" (attached) into your sdcard. Boot into recovery and flash the zip file.

Battery Conservation Tips:
-Enable Auto Brightness: Brightness can lure a lot of battery if not changed intelligently with time to match the surroundings, Jellybean in this case brought the “Auto Brightness” function which uses the accelerometer within the device to detect the amount of light in the surroundings and then act upon the brightness level according to it. To enable, go to Settings > Device > Display > Brightness, and tick “Automatic Brightness“. And if you want to save more battery drain, set brightness manually at low level depending on the external amount of light.
-Remove Live Wallpapers: Using a live wallpaper is another battery sucking feature. If you turn out to be truly saving battery, make sure not to use any live wallpaper. A wallpaper with a black background uses less power than a wallpaper with a light-colored background.
-Disable Location and GPS services: Keeping GPS ON at all times, decreases your battery life, so its better to disable it while not in use. To disable, go to Settings > Personal > Location access > and switch it off.
-Disable Wi-Fi or Mobile Data when not in use: Try to avoid situations when you keep your Wifi or Mobile Data ON even when the phone is set in standby.
-Manage Sync carefully: Keeping the Sync ON all the time is another reason for decreased battery life. Enable it anytime you want, manage your emails or services and again turn it off. For those who are on work and want real-time push notifications are advised not to follow this tip.
-Turn OFF Haptic Feedback and screen sounds: To save a little more on battery, its better to switch off the screen touch sounds and vibrations. To do so, go to Settings > Device > Sound and untick Dial pad touch tones, Touch sounds. Screen lock sound and Vibrate on touch.
-Turn OFF bluetooth and NFC: Disabling bluetooth and NFC when you are not using it, is another way to save battery juice.
-Follow the method of full charge and full discharge: Don’t put your phone on charging when there is the battery remaining it for another few hours unless it’s very important. Charge it when your battery is about to get totally discharged and when you put it for charging, let it get charged totally.
-Set sleep time: Check the Sleep setting (under Display) and make sure it is set to 1 minute or less.
Keep calls short: This is obvious, but how many times have you heard people on their mobile phone say, "I think my battery’s dying," and then continue their conversation for several minutes? Sometimes, the dying battery is just an excuse to get off the phone (and a good one, at that), but if you really need to conserve the battery, limit your talk time.
-Turn OFF mobile network when not in range: Its very often that you lose the mobile network when you are travelling, so its advisable to turn OFF the mobile network by switching ON Airplane mode. Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks, tick Airplane Mode.
- After each month remove your battery from mobile phone and let it rest for an hour, it will give battery a breath and it will last longer.
-You should not have to turn off your phone to charge it. Most battery chargers deliver more than enough current to power your phone and charge it at the same time. Doing so will not lengthen the charge time, and leaving a phone on allows the user to be aware of its fuel gauge, so that you can remove it when the battery is full.
-When using a car charger, do not charge the battery when the inside temperature of your car is hot. Wait until the car has cooled before you plug in the phone.

Recommendations:
-Too loud wallpapers may sometimes disturb the look of your home screen and make the icons quite invisible, simple or a less-colored wallpapers are always suggested as to be the best choice. But your choice is what matters.
- Use only essential widgets on your home screen - each widget consumes memory and processing power which can slow your down your phone.
- Uninstall apps that you don't use - after awhile your phone can get cluttered as some Apps are designed to always run in the background. If you rarely use an App, then uninstall it to free up memory and CPU resource.
- It is best to avoid task killers such as Advanced Task Killer. Android is designed to automatically pre-load certain applications, even if you don't load them yourself. If it starts to run low on memory, it will smartly unload the oldest running apps automatically. Manually killing tasks will only mean they get loaded in memory again. Task killers can make the phone slow, laggy, or drain battery life more quickly.
- Always use latest CWM or latest TWRP recoveries.
- Disable USB debugging when it is not in use. Leaving USB debugging enabled makes your phone vulnerable (e.g. lock pattern can be reset).
- Avoid putting your Gnex in direct sunlight, it may affect touch screen & your battery performance.
- Learn how to use ADB & FASTBOOT commands instead of using toolkits, the last could not function properly.
- Flash stock firmware using fastboot is preferred than using odin.
- Check rom/kernel.zip md5 before flashing if it is convenient.
- Always update applications, if available, for better performance.
- Make a backup of your data, applications, contacts...always ready to restore from your computer.
- Read, read and read before you mess with your Gnex.
- Always be sure that you are flashing the right thing for your Gnex variant.
- If you do not know what you are doing, so don't do it .

Hello everyone, i see here to collect and post some known and maybe unknown tips and tricks with some important informations, hoping this will be useful for users.
Any more tips, tricks and suggestions from users are always welcomed. And please feel free to make corrections for any wrong or missed information in this post
Questions & Answers
Q I didn't receive OTA update and i am on stock firmware?
A Go to Settings > Apps > All > Google service framework, clear data and force close it, then go to Settings > About phone > System update > Check now. repeat procedure many times.
Q Can i make a screen shot on stock firmware?
A Yes you can! user doesn’t need to root the device or employ third-party apps just to take a photo of what's happening on screen. Taking a screenshot is simple, just press the volume down and power buttons together. The device will quickly take a snapshot of the screen and you will find it in your notifications.
Q What is Barrel Roll?
A As part of Google's regular antics, it had introduced a "barrel roll" trick for desktop browsers. Type "do a barrel roll" as a search term, and Google would demonstrate the power of modern browsers by flipping everything around on your screen. Your Android device can also do a barrel roll if you speak out the same command. Again, It's great fun to show off.
Q How can i uninstall an app. without going to setting?
A Long-pressing on an app within the app drawer pops up a couple of menus along the top of the screen. App Info gives you the boring technical stuff about how much memory it's taking up, or you can fling it off the other way to uninstall it.
Q How can i go directly to the quick settings menu?
A expand notification bar by sliding two fingers.
Q What is inverted rendering?
A Inverted rendering is a posh way of saying it makes the pages black and turns the text white, so it looks like you're reading the internet from 1997. It also supposedly saves battery, plus is easier on the eyes if you're reading in the dark. It's under the browser's settings tab, within the accessibility area - and there's a contrast slider, too.
Q How can i reboot to safe mode?
A safe mode, the saviour of so many Windows PCs! Long-press the power button, then long-press the Power off option. Choose OK to reboot in safe mode, which completely disables all third-party apps on your device.
Q What does reset app. preferences means?
A Android gives you loads of different options for each installed app, and on the whole this is a very good thing. Sometimes it can be a bad thing, though: you may find your phone playing up because a crucial app has been disabled, or you've changed the notifications for something important like emails. In the apps drawer, you'll find Reset app preferences under the settings. This resets all your apps on a global level, returning actions and data settings to their original levels.
Q What is imojis?
A "Emojis" are the Japanese version of emoticons. You can enable emoji support for the default Jelly Bean keyboard by choosing Language & input in the settings app, then going to the settings for the stock Android keyboard. Here, choose Add-on dictionaries and select Emoji for English words. When you next type certain words (there's a complete list here) you'll see its symbol appear in the predictions bar.
Q I can not see Developer Options in settings?
A Google hide this option on JB 4.2.1, to enable it just go to settings---->about phone, tap 7 times on "build number" and it will be shown in settings.
Q I want to see Jelly Bean on my screen, can i?
A Yes you can, go to settings---->about phone tap quickly 4-5 times on android version, you will see a big Jelly bean, touch and hold it, you will see small flying Jelly beans.
Q How can i put my Gnex in fastboot/recovery mode?
A Turn off your phone, press and hold down Volume Up and Down keys + Power button at the same time until fastboot (bootloader) mode (image of an Android with Start) appears then release the keys. Press volume up or down and select recovery by pressing power button.
Q How can i put my Gnex in download mode (odin mode)?
A Turn off your phone, press and hold down Volume down + Power button at the same time until odin mode appears then release the keys.
Q Why google voice search is crashing when i press on mic when i am on a custom rom?
A Update google search from play store.
Q My Gnex screen is turning on by itself, what is happening?
A It is caused by an application, usually by live wallpapers, try to find it and delete it, or install an antivirus app., i recommend this, scan, delete, wipe cache and dalvik (optional).
Q sometimes i lose packet data (3G) when i turn it off then on, i turn off then turn on my Gnex to enable packet data again?
A There is no need to turn your phone off and on to re-enable packet data, just long press on power button, enable airplane mode for 3-5 seconds then turn it off.
Q I rooted my Gnex, what to do next?
A It is recommended to make a nandroid backup immediately.
Q I rooted my Gnex 4.2.1, made a nandroid backup, but i can not find my backup folder?
A Use a file manager, enable root option, your backup folder is located in data/media/clockworkmod or mnt/shell/emulated/clockwordmod.
Q The kernel does not support PGM, is there a solution?
A change the kernel, or install intellicover application.
Q Do i need to wipe cache partition when flashing a new rom?
A No, there is no need to wipe cache, because when you wipe data/factory reset, cache is wiped automatically. Some said to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing a new rom to prevent any potential conflict.
Q I rooted my Gnex 4.2.1, flash custom recovery, but when i reboot into recovery, it shows the stock recovery!?
A Every OTA update places two files on device system (that are not there on a non-update stock ROM) that re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY boot. The two files are /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. You need to make sure that these files are either deleted or renamed, or else custom recovery will disappear when you reboot. These files serve no purpose other than re-flashing the stock recovery on every boot. So, by using something like Root Explorer, delete or rename them, and re-flash your custom recovery.
Q My Gnex won't start, i can not get into fastboot mode, only i can get into download mode?
A Use odin to flash stock firmware here.
Q What is the easiest way to install samsung driver?
A The easiest way is to install Samsung Kies.
Q How can i flash stock image on my Gnex?
A See efrant thread.
Q What about governors, I/O schedulers, TCP congestion?
A See MBQsniper thread.
Q How to properly post a kernel bug (LAST_KMSG)?
A See ciprianruse88 thread.
Q What is the best kernel for my Gnex?
A There is no something called "best kernel". You must try many kernels and decide what suit your rom and your need. But for me AK kernel is the most active kernel in update releases that suit most roms.
Rooting:
Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. Rooting is similar to jailbreaking devices running the Apple iOS operating system. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system. Rooting enables all the user-installed applications to run privileged commands that are typically unavailable to the devices in their stock configuration.
Legality: The Free Software Foundation Europe argues that it is legal to root or flash any device. According to the European Directive 1999/44/CE, replacing the original operating system with another does not void the statutory warranty that covers the hardware of the device for two years unless the seller can prove that the modification caused the defect.
On July 26, 2010, the United States announced a new exemption making it officially legal to root a device and run unauthorized third-party applications, as well as the ability to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.
Safety: I Have always said that the person should learn the Android OS before rooting. It is a good idea to have an idea of what rooting is doing and what it will affect. I would say spend your time really learning the OS which is not a small task. Then, if you still feel like it, go ahead and root. While rooting can help you learn many things about your device, it also can reap very bad consequences, such as:
-Bricking your phone (or in an easier way to explain, making your phone a pretty paper weight).
-Corrupting core files.
-Stopping OTA updates from going to your phone.
-Voiding phone warranty.
-Have your phone open to malicious software and applications that can do serious harm to your phone.
As you can see, it can reap very negative things. I have read/seen people who have literally had to buy brand new phones because they tried the latest and greatest rom. Rooting is essentially something that you must take at your own risk & caution. Generally, if you follow exactly the procedure of rooting made by developers, you will be more likely on the safe side.
Problems can happen:
-Stuck into a Bootloop: Bootloops are mainly caused by system files interfering with each others which cause instability and/or crash at the boot sequence. so what to do? pull out battery then reinsert it, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot. If not, format data, system, cache using recovery and restore stock firmware (supposing that you did a nandroid backup before). if you don't have a backup to restore, flash any custom rom from your sdcard after formatting system & data & cache. If you don't have a custom rom in your sdcard, push one from your pc using adb (supposed that you have adb file or sdk on your pc): boot into recovery, connect your phone to the computer open command prompt and write the following command then hit enter (supposing that your rom is placed on D):
Code:
adb push D:\name of rom.zip /data/media
once done, go to your phone and install the rom.zip from recovery, reboot.
If none of above methods works, then flash stock image for your Gnex using fastboot commands here.
-Nexus is quietly dead: If your phone did not respond to anything, it won't turn on, can not boot into fastboot or download mode, black screen, try "OMAP flash", it can save your Gnex OMAP FLASH.
Battery Conservation Tips:
-Enable Auto Brightness: Brightness can lure a lot of battery if not changed intelligently with time to match the surroundings, Jellybean in this case brought the “Auto Brightness” function which uses the accelerometer within the device to detect the amount of light in the surroundings and then act upon the brightness level according to it. To enable, go to Settings > Device > Display > Brightness, and tick “Automatic Brightness“.
-Remove Live Wallpapers: Using a live wallpaper is another battery sucking feature. If you turn out to be truly saving battery, make sure not to use any live wallpaper.
-Disable Location and GPS services: Keeping GPS ON at all times, decreases your battery life, so its better to disable it while not in use. To disable, go to Settings > Personal > Location access > and switch it off.
-Disable Wi-Fi or Mobile Data when not in use: Try to avoid situations when you keep your Wifi or Mobile Data ON even when the phone is set in standby.
-Manage Sync carefully: Keeping the Sync ON all the time is another reason for decreased battery life. Enable it anytime you want, manage your emails or services and again turn it off. For those who are on work and want real-time push notifications are advised not to follow this tip.
-Turn OFF Haptic Feedback and screen sounds: To save a little more on battery, its better to switch off the screen touch sounds and vibrations. To do so, go to Settings > Device > Sound and untick Dial pad touch tones, Touch sounds. Screen lock sound and Vibrate on touch.
-Turn OFF bluetooth: Disabling bluetooth when you are not using it, is another way to save battery juice.
-Turn OFF mobile network when not in range: Its very often that you lose the mobile network when you are travelling, so its advisable to turn OFF the mobile network by switching ON Airplane mode. Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks, tick Airplane Mode.

Well, generaly it's stable enough for everyday use, but there are some lags.
F.E. - launcher theme reset (affected after system restart)
Haven't tried to disable all kind of animations, but I think it might solve the problem.
Also its' performance is lower than CM10 builds.
Personally I don't like MIUI, so I switched back to Quarx builds.
Works fine except for Cellular Signal, i can't get phone signal, network manual search doesn't work. is any way to solve this? like a baseband patch
This is a support thread for the ROM posted here.

* It is very important to clear factory data/cache after installing the CM7 rom.
* If your stuck on the android boot screen, connect usb and do a logcat to see what it is crashing on.
* The battery_charger has been replaced in this build as a safety backup to get into bootmenu. Anytime the phone is powered off and then plugged in it will boot to bootmenu instead of the charging screen.

I make all wipe data/cache and even Dalvik cache before and after install CM7 - but I stuck on the android boot screen.
But note: I made all wipes from CWM, because stock recovery is not works on my phone (only green robot and yellow triangle and that's all - nothing key works, only pull battery helps).
* If your stuck on the android boot screen, connect usb and do a logcat to see what it is crashing on.

How can I make this (run logcat)?
Thanks for the advices.
Im not sure the clear data/cache works right in CWM. I have not tested it. To access the menu in the stock recovery hit the Home key.
To output a logcat open a command prompt and run "adb logcat"
If you want to output it to a file use "adb logcat > filename.txt"
so there is some querrys:
- torch app does not work as a flashlight, while it stay in status bar and even task killer wont help
- led notification light does not work at all, i guess there is no app for that and original is missing
- it wont unlock sim card, or lock it while it's unlocked. message is "incorrect pin". previously unlocked on other phone sim works fine. pin correct.
- the reboot menu list wont operate with joystick, only touch.
- both cameras wont work in skype, when forced induce crash.
- dev tools options become a force close
- voice dialer started by long press call button opens in wrong screen orientation and does not work. it work if started from all apps.
- superuser does not ask about allowing su permissions, there is no app listed as allowed su perm. while all super su apps works fine as usual.
- yandex maps app issue. rendering map result is quite not what it should be
I did it! Thanks for stock recovery main key (Home) .
And now some my notes (first, I use Russian language and CM7 has it).
- torch app doesn't work - this right for me too;
- about led - not work too;
- about sim - not check this yet;
- the reboot menu OPERATE for me with D-Pad;
- I don't use Skype;
- dev tools work in full for me;
- all correct about voice dialer;
- it's right too;
- don't install yandex maps yet.

was't been working for me too, but first reboot solved it
a lot of apps that uses the hardware gpu does not work properly, i guess this is same as camera driver problem and it can't be resolved till motorola releases it freely(only if)
also i am having issue with call ringtone - it rings for fraction of a second and then goes silent
I missed some egl librarires in the build, copying the attached files to /system/lib/egl should correct some of the graphic issues.

Oh, I think I made a mistake.
I was on a enhanced 2.3.6 on my S5660, with a CWM 5.0.27 but I wanted to try this ROM.
So I downloaded the CWM 6053_1 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../dev-cwm-recovery-upd-20140630-t2799784/page2
And try to flash it from the recovery 5.0.27.
Then rebooted in recovery with power and home key and it seems is in boot loop.
Samsung logo appears, then screen goes white, and then black again, and restarts.
How can I solve?

Also trying to install CWM 5.0.27 again via Odin, it stucks on setup connection.
Oh ****. What else can I try?
---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------
Temporarily solved thanks to one try to get into Download mode (yellow font) and the with Odin everything works.
Now, What i was wrong?
Did I installed a wrong CWM?

what are its bugs? Can I edit pictures in instagram?
The rom is stable. I think the only bug is a little autofocus problem. Probably I will post 1.1 version this weekend and I will post in attachements the CWM 6.0.5.3.

You Installed Cwm for galaxy ace, not gio!
Great, ROM Installed, but no Play Store?
How do I install any APP?
:crying::crying:
Also, little bug, when screen is locked, it says "NO SIM inside", but obviously the SIM is inside.
Could you please post ggapps package for this ROM?
I tried download the small package from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
But it doesnt works.
At leasts I just need the Play Store!
I Just found a Play Store apk for cm11, downloaded and installed but it doesnt works.
Also, ROM it seems really laggy, dont know why...
Going back to my backup of 2.3.6, sorry.
Waiting for a gapps package that works with this Rom.
Failed to go back to 2.3.6, it was stuck on boot logo and nothing else.
So I tried to reinstall again this CM 11.
It seems is working but for me is pretty unusable without Play Store or Gapps.
Could you please help me?
Thx

Thanks.
I was not that lazy, just searched for gapps for CM11 but found other packages that doesnt works.
Anyway, I think I'll stay with my 2.3.6, its just for few weeks until my N4 came back from repair!
first impressions
Just installed this rom and here's what i found at a glance:
Positive:
- rom is stable, snappy and all in all behaves very well
- the folder management for icons is just what i needed
Neutral:
- changing the network signal icon to dB makes it so you can't know when you have data on or not at a glance. i like to know how much radiation i'm exposed to and find the best spot for signal when it's very low, but the text should turn brown or show some arrows or something when data is on. i have seen this however on all other roms, so i don't know if you can change that
- phone should start with 2G mode, no sync, data off, location off - if the user doesn't have any data left, the first time i run the rom it will just cost cost him money for nothing. 3G signal (in Romania at least) is a lot worse than 2G one, so why make the user take extra steps? - 2G/3G mode should also be on quick panel, as well as sound
- the Heart App has a Google Play icon in upper right corner - click on it and it opens lightning browser which "is no longer compatible", i get a link below which is "not available"
- maybe you could include a quick tile icon for turning the display into flashlight (like in CM12)
- no out of the box blank background. however i cound install from PlayStore black backgroud (13KB) and the option appeared. maybe you include this in next build and cut some of the other live wallpapers to reduce size even more
- while booting, until hola screen appears, the display is on maximum brightness - this is an unnecesary power drain
- on first boot there is a some sort of an error message regading hola launcher and the inability to set it as default laucher. "try again" brings again the message, "later" dismisses it
Negative:
- camera fails to focus correctly. best clarity i found for gio was in LeWa port , however that rom is based on CM7 and i don't know if you can just take from there and port it here
- WiFi signal is rather low and sometimes although it finds the network, does not connect to it. Again, the chinese port somehow manages to connect to wifi in 3-4 seconds after i turn wifi on with better signal
- I'm using S2E (as i find it better than link2sd) but moving the Dalvik cache seems to break some system functions. i only tested it with wifi that failed to turn on afterwards, but as this function is very important i moved back the Dalvik, checked only the other boxes in S2E and now it's all good
All in all a solid work, well done !
P.S. You should post a link in the first post to a recommended gapps, as i find the Mardon gapps quite large (about 30MB) and maybe some users just want the Play app (without all that other data sent to Google), which is about 8MB

I appreciate your opinion about this rom. I am a teenager and I want to learn a lot about the custom rom. For me it's a new "territory", In vacation I will try to learn more. I'm also from Romania. Thank you for trying my rom. A good day!
keyboard Caps
great to hear that!
i played around a bit more with the rom and found a small but annoying issue, especially when sending sms: in the preinstalled keyboard app "classic keyboard", instead of Shift that buttons works as Caps Lock, turning all letters to uppercase. Also after . keyboard turns to uppercase as it's supposed to, but forgets to turn to normal case after first letter (i don't use word prediction).
Not only that, but the app has FULL NETWORK ACCESS, which a keyboard app should NOT, as it could send account credentials to the devs. The entire XDA project started as a way to offer a safe alternative to what corporations force on us and their "well known" policies. If you want a lightweight keyboard app with as few permissions as possible and great functions, i recommend the good old Hacker's Keyboard, from PlayStore. It's only 2.4 MB (compared to 1.8) but has no bugs and offers Ctrl and Alt in Landscape.
spor!
gapps problem
Hi,
The ROM is superb! very nice work I only have one big problem...
When I install gapps I get a load of messages "unfortunately xx. has stopped working" with xx being google play services among other things.

I have:
-carry out full wipe
-flash cwm 6.0.5.3.
-reboot to recovery
-Flash ROM
-Restart to OS, play about a bit, restart to recovery
- Flash gapps, flash account.zip
-reboot to OS
Thanks in advance

I have found somewhere on xda a while ago some gapps that work flawlessly with this rom (less than 8 MB).
There's only PlayStore but all the rest you install from there on.
Hope the attachment helps !
Thanks @andrei.nica, I've tried it and still get the same problem. On installing gapps I don't actually see the playstore appear at all. Cyanogen account crashes gives the 'stopped' message, so does whisperpush. But this only happens after installing gapps...
reinstall

Here's how i do: as i'm not a fan of nand backup, i back my contacts (by exporting to SD) and whatever apps on SD (not their data) with apkshare and then from CWM: wipe data/factory reset+ wipe cache partition+wipe system(in mounts&storage)+wipe dalvik cache (in advanced) - install the rom.zip, boot the rom to see how it behaves, then install gapps.zip.
However i have a SD that i've partitioned in 2 as it helps with the number of apps i can install: one fat and one ext2 (i think, about 500MB) - you can do it from CWM or Ubuntu - so that i move apps to second partition using S2E. For this rom however, i've had some errors when selecting also moving Dalvik cache, so I untick last option in S2E.
