Not had it either but it's probably worth removing it. It's a good feature in theory, taking a screenshot of an issue to inform Google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Any issues with Apex kernel interns of GPS lockablility? I'm on Kang v15 and with the stock kernel GPS locks pretty quickly and accurately. With Apex (preferred and favorite) it seems as though GPS doesn't lock ever and it's a very broad range 2,000+ meters.

Obviously, this is with Wi-Fi off, because I get an instant lock.

What MOD or App is needed for the flashlight in the notification toggles?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schrickm5:
Am on 68% battery after 20hrs , screen on time 1hr 29min. This is with the kernel that came with the ROM 7.2. Best battery life I have had, now and on a par with my SGS2. If I get 5hrs screen on time I will be happy as a pig in pooh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikey:
sweet :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axial_pro:
I just installed this last night as an upgrade to v5.

My testing current draw went from ~11ma to ~70ma. Using the same kernel in both circumstances with the same installed apps. Kernel is Apex v4.

Lost 23% in six hours.

Any thoughts?

For anybody who uses my theme, Build 8 will be supported from release whenever Bigxie decides to release it :) Sorry for hijaking your from Bigxie, just thought I'd let users know :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Build 8 will be out soon I'm sure ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manager77:
bigxie#8 with Nitroz black theme?...OMG...good news!

Bigxie can you make build#8 to accept all file types for inbound bluetooth file transfers?...and download any file type with browser?

can you take a look :http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14740-romaosp403-codename-android-100-fully-open-sourcehot/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schrickm5:
I had a similar problem, I did a fresh installation with a wipe from #6 to #7.2.

I skipped #7 because of the idle issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Emilius:
OMG this is best ROM ever. Smooth, fast, excellent battery life. Thank you a million.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G-Bus:
Suggestion; Being able to control the timing on the Notification LED.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Use Light Flow - can do it all in there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
It's not working yet, but I hope to get it fixed soon, along with the 2G/3G toggle.

I haven't faced this issue (GPS has been rock solid for me, regardless of kernel). Anyone else?

I've done some additional undervolting in build 8, this time to the GPU, so we can squeeze some additional longevity from the battery.

I haven't faced this issue (GPS has been rock solid for me, regardless of kernel). Anyone else? Hi bigxie,with Roman v14 The GPS locks in 5 seconds in the living room of my house to yours Rom must go on the roof of my house and even there locks after 1 minute, as well is fantastic Rom go is even better I look forward to new v8,keep up the good work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stuu.f:
First ROM ive used on my 4 day old Nexus, & I must say i have no reason to try another at the moment! Great Job!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denk:
Hi Bigxie!

Great Rom, been using it since the early builds!

Could you please have a look at A2DP Bitpool value and if it is anything less than 53, could you please change to to 53? A2DP sounds a bit tinny...

Thanks.

Denk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Sure, I will look into that.

OP updated with build 8!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
Downloading now..... Hurray!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atiasdudi:
Build 8 is here YEAH!

Thanks Bigxie!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
great job! Love the new navigation bar options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
Uh oh...updated from 7-2, wiped cache and dalvik. Once installed the only changes I made were to add search and menu in the navigation bar, and after about five minutes I had a random reboot. First one I've ever had with the Gnex.

Just thought I'd let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddmmh:
Thanks bigxie. Finally a fix for those random bugs. Ill test it out, this rom is now perfect!

v8

Removed "feature" that took screenshots of errors and emailed them to yourself (bugmailer.sh)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Donated a little something bud, good work ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
Now I just tried going into the gallery, it froze, and caused another random reboot. Perhaps I will re - install. No one else with any issues so far?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
The GPU UV :( -- please try a different kernel

I must say, you are the first person to have issues with it though (I've had many people test this the last few days).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castemic:
What do you suggest me? Update or not?

In case what kernel can i use?

I personally prefer stock dialer. Any way to return to stock one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bakedbread:
i just did a cache/dalvik wipe coming from 7-2 and flashed build 8

having some weird issues too - market crashes and some apps say they arent installed anymore (like whatsapp)

also noticed the T9 dialer wasnt working (i had previously flashed the MOD and it worked but noticed you included it by default in build 8)

im in the processing of restoring my old image, backing up SMS/settings, then wiping everything and flashing build 8 new to see if its okay

thanks for all your work though bigxie! you make some really awesome additions to each build so its worth the upgrade

**edit - im most likely going to flash franco's kernel afterwards too , so hopefully everything works (had no problems with that combination on 7-2)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atiasdudi:
I know I've already thanked you for v8 but, i must do it again lol

just injected a modified SystemUI.apk with battery images - this rom is just perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winrris:
Bigxie great job mate! Your rom is the best at the moment. The only thing I'm missing is audio fix - speaker isn't loud. Can you do something with it so we dont have to use apps like volume+ or any other equalizers?

Cheers

If anybody is having GPU related instability (such as reboot from entering Gallery, playing games/video), please try the following kernel (if you'd like to stay on Apex):

http://minus.com/mbfeZaQdUv#2

It seems there are indeed phones that cannot handle my voltages (though I had not found any the last 3 days :( )

Also added this to the OP. I'm curious to see how many phones this affects, as this sample (users of my ROM) is much larger than I had while testing. Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience. I will adjust accordingly in my next build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
I installed the new kernel posted above, but am still having the same issues. I will go back to the stock kernel for now. Any other info I could provide that might help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
does the search function have the long-press shortcut feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
yes it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsuresh:
I tried to reproduce the reboot problems but so far none, running smooth like 7.2 with franco #11. so far so good. Thanks bigxie.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
I rolled back to Apex v5, and things seem ok so far. It was working fine before on 7-2 as well, so I will stick with this for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bakedbread:
i did a full wipe and flash for Build 8 - but had one random reboot initially (using Franco #11 kernel)

Also another problem i encountered was trying to download an .apk file from my Gmail kept giving me an error "Cannot download .apk" - didnt have this issue on 7-2

=/ gonna stick with 7-2 for now because it was running perfectly - i was more curious on the new softkey customizations (which is awesome, but ill wait a bit)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d-iivil:
Softkeys are not properly scaled and aligned when using lower dpi value (I'm using 270 and soft keys are aligned to the left). This is with the latest release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carblanco:
Same here, lot of random reboots.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
Try going back to Apex v5 kernel. Everything seems stable for me now, and deep sleep is working according to CPU spy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Also wondering if you guys with reboot issues have custom voltages saved in setcpu/performance settings/cpu master/whatever?

Since there were some changes to the userspace undervolting in this kernel, those may need to be wiped and redone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pego71:
You are BigBigBigxie, this is the best rom of galaxy nexus ,an update, many news, thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I just upgraded to v8. I wiped data and cache and also wipe dalvik cache. When I tried to use Google Wallet it said that I need to enabled NFC. Normally it's checked, but this time it's unchecked. When I tried to check it, it won't let me. Anyone have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loganno:
I am in full agreement
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Damn, I've narrowed this down to the kernel as well.

It has too many issues, I will have to rebuilt it. Imoseyon's 3.0.16 kernel works with NFC just fine, so I will repack the ROM with that one and upload in a few.

Sorry about that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denk:
A2DP Bitpool set to 53

Thanks for that Bigxie, would be good if you could put it in changelog in the first post.

Donation is coming!

Thanks again for your hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G-Bus:
Since I installed this rom I keep getting random forecloses and I wiped data and everything before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I also forgot to say this ROM is awesome. Thanks Bigxie for the hard work and quick reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
trying this rom for now.

am i blind or is there no music.apk?

well, i see there is one in the rom package... but not in my running rom after installing O.o

btw i got the best quadrant score with this (2900) and the worst antutu score :D (5008) [both running at 1400mhz]

UI runs very smooth, smoothest seen yet [@1200mhz]

lets see the battery life :-)

ps: hm... i really dont have a music app installed.. can someone help me? didnt change anything to the zip package before installing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Updated the OP with new links/MD5SUM.

All I changed was the included kernel, so if you're already on a custom kernel and have no issues (random reboots or nfc) pay it no heed.

If you're having issues, please try the new link. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikey:
Awesome rom :)

You are really trying to confuse my right thumb with the nav set-up lol

Settings on the right side, yikes for right handers lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bram77:
Just flashed nr. 8. I love the extended soft keys. But as mentioned before, the market is not working. It force closes. Clearing the market cache and data does not help. I'm also missing apps I had installed. BE Weather for instance.

No random reboots for me so far (franco #11).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
didnt have any fc yet, no reboot. all stable with great bat for now, great smoothness

running at imo 1.5.1 kernel without oc, just UV like the values mentioned in OP

just dont have music player :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
I didn't change any voltages when I originally installed 8 and had the reboot issues.

Also, the kernel that you've now packed in the OP, are there many differences between it, and Apex v5? I'm using v5 now, and having no issues, but if there are other benefits to this kernel, such as battery savings, I'd be interested in trying it. If not, I'll probably stick with v5.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
How did you guys install this ROM? Over a previous build? Remember to install gapps immediately afterwards? My gapps installs Music to /data/ so you may need to clear the application's data to get it to show up.

Imoseyon's kernel is 3.0.16, has a lot of technical fixes and should perform well. His default voltages are higher, but you can lower them to mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bram77:
Problem solved. A reflash of gapps was required after upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
i full wiped anything (data, cache, dalvic, etc.)

after this, install rom.zip

after this, install gapps.zip

after this, install kernel.zip

reboot

no music.apk shown up ;-)

ps: i am confused. its not in the /data, not even in /system/app...how can i install it manually? all other gapps work fine and have been installed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikey:
Thats because Music is not in his gapps.

Download it from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5tdXNpYyJd

Watch your language
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
thx dude! was nearly thinking i lost my head somewhere :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Both Videos.apk and GoogleMusic.apk are in the gapps, they just install to the /data/ partition.

However, if you do the data and cache wipe after installing the rom and gapps, well, they'll get uninstalled...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
thats what i always do after installing :) but np, next time i know for your rom :P

runs really great. i am impressed

is there any possibilty in your rom to display battery in %? dont wanna install 1000 mods
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] froesei:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
Just flashed build 8 and it seems like the speed of the rotation animation has been sped up? I dont mean the delay before it rotates, but rather the actual speed of the animation.

I could be crazy, but I didn't see it in the changelog. I think its a bit too fast if it has been changed. I prefer the default speed for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denk:
The navigation buttons are misaligned at 240 dpi....

How can this be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] constantschange:
Been following this ROM for a while. I've been using Mike's ROM for...well, for a long time. Before the GN I was using ARHD on my Inspire. Anyway, this ROM sounds pretty awesome, so gonna give it a try. Will edit if I come across any bugs or anything, but from what I read, ROM seems to be working pretty damn well. I'm excited!

For those coming from ARHD, any noticeable differences? Mike's is pretty solid, but would like to try 4.0.3 for a while.

EDIT: Everything went smoothly, and ROM seems a lot faster than others. Loving it so far. Awesome work man. I did have one question tho. After flashing ROM, there was a msg in recovery that said random offset 0x26b. Can anyone shed any light on what this means? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
You will like this Rom. Everything works well with perfect upgrades above stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
You can ignore it. It's something that pops up after flashing 4.0.3 roms. I think it's some kind of security check feature in recovery or something. But regardless of reason, if you see it, it means that the flashing is done.

Edit: It's something that Google implemented in ICS. Called "Address space layout randomization". So you will always see this whenever you flash an ICS rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 350d:
Following this rom from 6. +1

hope vibrate on dialing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjchung:
Fantastic work as always, bigxie!

Something very minor but strange though: all of my widgets disappeared from the homescreen after flashing. Not a huge deal, since I only had a handful up there. But I'm curious to know as to why it happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CakraMas:
Here are screenshots of mine, :). Using this ROM combine with Franco's Kernel. It took more than 30 hours to reach 5% battery, :).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Don't downgrade! Just use this GApps instead. :)

Seriously though, you can't downgrade without fully wiping the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
I don't know if it's my imagination, but this feels a lot snappier than 4.0.2.

Yep.. This is better in every way that 4.0.2.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, I'm not too familiar with kernels. The post mentions that the GPU is overclocked to 384MHz; is there any way to revert this to stock? I'd like to get as much battery life out of it as I can while still maintaining good performance. Does the overclock only apply when the GPU is under heavy use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deezid:
Try Franco's kernel. It isn,'t oc'ed but makes your phone even faster!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Correct, always safer to do that when flashing a new kernel. I actually wipe before & after I flash it. Just a habit. :)

Many games (asphalt, riptide, nfs hot pursuit etc...) are unplayable because of this bug. Had the same problem with ARHD 2.1.0, which was fixed in 2.1.1

Try Quadrant (only the test with the rotating globe -> from ~60fps to 5fps... WTF?)

There's definitely something wrong with the 3D and the GPS driver or libraries... ;)

Everything else is not far from perfect :)

imoseyon 1.5.1 exp2 kernel is amazing! it is perfect with bigxie #8. Idle battery drain seems to be a lot better then anything I've compared so far(1%/8h standby battery drain-interactiveX governor set to 180MHZ-1200MHz).

Pretty much the best performance I've ever had on any device as of yet.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aircon2000:
I installed the first Build 8 that was posted and haven't had a single problem. It's transformed the phone for me. I was ready to chuck it out the window out of the box!

Can someone explain why using different kernels is of any benefit, or link me to somewhere that explains it please?

I'm not even sure I understand what a kernel is, actually.

When I check CPU spy, it only shows use of 350MHz and 700MHz...is that weird, or am I just not doing anything that requires more ooomph?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
It's actually there, but Franco has put the defaults to 700MHz-1200MHz. So if the user doesn't use setcpu to change the min to 350, of course it won't activate it =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
By default it's disabled as it's been giving issues. Some phones can take it other can't so the default profile is 700-1200 (which does me fine)

Quick question: If I have some moded contacts&phone apks from previous 7-2 version, can I push them to v8 without any issues or do I need to mod them again? (just some changed graphics, nothing much, but PITA to redo).

Just changed some pngs in systemui.apk but apparently the navbar doesn't re-size correctly in 240dpi. Is it just me ? Can anybody else try to switch to 240dpi to see if the buttons align correctly or not?

I have tried enabling and disabling the search button in settings but to no avail.

@bigxie

This rom starts to look better and better after the last couple of updates.

Few things I would like to see (if they don't interfere with the "stock" principle).

1) Color picker for the navigation bar (like in AOKP) where you could change the colors of the navigation bar icons

2) Somekinds of Power Saver features, f.ex when user puts screen_off you could choose what happens to data (drop to 2G / turn data off etc) etc

3) Nice "own" name for the rom :-D
