I really have to agree with this, Apex may not get tonnes of updates but it doesn't really need them. It works perfectly fine has very little bugs, none that I encounter on a day to day bases (aside from the t9 dialer that you replace if it bugs you)

Sure it may not have all the pretty new fancy features that something like AOKP might have but that also breads instability and I'd rather have stability and a few nice features than 900 features 90% of people would never use.

That being said I'd also like that "Hide the software buttons" feature in because I keep sliding over them in games :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
AOKP is actually missing a few features that this ROM has. It may be one of the most active ROMs, but it doesn't have everything I want.

If there's another, more active ROM with the same features and stability that Apex has I'd be willing to give it a shot.

One of the big things Apex has that other ROMs don't is it brings back the Menu key the old way, not the new triple-dot button jammed all the way to one side. There's still a lot of older apps that use the menu key and honestly I have no idea why Google thought it was a good idea to get rid of it. :/

The only remaining features that Apex doesn't have that I'd really like to see:

Focus loss ducking when playing music. Having the music just go silent while the notification sound plays is annoying. CM7 did this and I miss it--and unfortunately, CM9 is barely better than stock ICS, so it's not close yet.

Quiet hours settings. CM7 also had this, and I was able to tell my phone to quit making notification and ringer sounds between 12:30AM and 8:30AM. It was nice to not have to manually enable silent mode.

Smarter volume control. On CM7 on my old Nexus S, when I plugged in my headset to make a call, it wasn't thunderously loud unless I turned it down to the lowest setting. It used the media volume as the headset call volume, which was great, so I could keep the call volume loud for when I used the phone without a headset.

anybody could upload the t9 apex dialer patch? Looks like the multiupload one is dead link. Tw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lupipe:
Did someone noticed distortion during panorama capture?can someone confirm that distortion is not visible on photo,visible only during capture?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
Lol...you should know that almost every custom rom has that old menu button. Like it would be a apex feature...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jorge787:
Didn't realize I had Dl'ed it back when I first flashed. Duh!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
No it doesn't. Every custom ROM has the triple-dot menu button shoved to one side (or the other side, or both sides in AOKP's case).

Apex puts the menu key next to the others and centers the four keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
So does pretty much every other custom rom. Do your research first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
Yep aokp and several other do as well.

Bigxie could u also implement individual soft bar key color customization? xD. So we could change the home button to white while making the back button blue and the multi task red or any color we wish xD thanks for the hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
That must be recent, because when I had those ROMs flashed, all they did was make the triple-dot persistent and could be put on either side or both sides of the soft keys.

I use Tasker for the first of those, and automating several other regular settings changes I use, it works nicely.

I suspect you could also use it to automate the headset volume change although I've not tried that.

i'm a flashaholic so i will change rom if this is the case, even tho i have no problems at all with 1.0.2.

keep updating this thread like 5-10 times a day hoping to see something new from bigxie :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3ddyz:
Stop nagging for updates guys, it won't make things go any faster...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jorge787:
So what exactly do people feel entitled to when they flash a custom ROM? Then we complain when developers become dickheads and rude.

There's nothing to fix, at least on my end, other than T9 dialer. And that was fixed by flashing stock dialer.

Can't live without flashing daily? Move to a ROM with nightlies and be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FishFan319:
@OP

I rarely post, but I had to log in to say this.

Op: this is the single greatest rom I've ever used. Simple, fast, with those key add ons that you can't live without. ZERO kinks, no problems, great battery.

I've used the nexus one for two years and tried everything, the sensation as well on ARHD. This is perfect, even at two months old.

Thank you.

He bought the new iPad :D

I think he don´t have time for developping :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SL:
People feel they are entitle to a quick service and new roms every week.

They do not care about the life of the developer nordo they care if the rom works great and there is nothing to fix.

This is reality. They just want their new rom!

May be someone can change the name of the rom to March 21 to keep those yahooooo happy? LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
Yay!

[ROM][GSM][AOSP] Apexv1.0.2+: Custom Batteries, Network ADB, + MORE (3/22/12)

For realz, still rockin' this ROM. AOKP comes out with updates and changes all the time and I keep coming back here. Simple, works, no surprises, just the right amount of customization. Black wallpaper ftw btw

I suffice my inner flashoholic with kernels on this ROM!

Have been using kang rom for a week or 2, love all the features of it, but is not that fast.

returned to bigxie tonight, holly crap, i had forgotten how fast it is, it dont have many of the smart features others have, but they dont have this speed.

Thx for an amazing rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlareHeart:
Apparently 4.0.4 finally hit AOSP. So there may be an update pending!

Bigxie, if you read this, I'm sure you will update whenever you update, it's not urgent, so take your time and continue your streak of awesome!

4.0.4 is now on AOSP, hopefully Bigxie releases an update with it soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woosie:
I second about the 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
I'm syncing up tonight. Hopefully, I can make progress getting Apex updated to 4.0.4 this weekend.

I realize it's been almost 2 months without an update. Sorry, I've been busy/lacking motivation. Gapps update errors are due to older apps having different signatures, I guess. The plan is with the update, to switch over to the "official" gapps maintained by goo-inside.me

This will probably require a full wipe though. Anyways, I'll drop by the thread later when some progress has been made. Fortunately, from what I've been discussing with some other devs, it doesn't seem to be TOO much work. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Many thanks to everyone still sticking around :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FishFan319:
Glad to. Again, this is the closest to a perfect rom that I've ever seen. I'd take the FB sync fix and flashlight torch. But never a hotboot, never a crash, and godlike speed, you're a winner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
I don't use facebook so I'm not concerned about that, but I second everything this poster said. I've used a lot of ROMs, but none, not even stock ICS, come close to the speed and stability of Apex. :)

Granted, once a full-featured release candidate of CM9 comes out I'll probably switch, but we'll see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceo.mtcl:
thanks for the update! I am a great fan of your rom. Switched to aokp for a while. Will switch back if you update it to 4.0.4 :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
assuming this is a dead ROM (and i genuinely dont mean that in an accusing way !) does anyone have any thoughts about other ROMs that are similar in functionality and stability ?

Huge thanks to the Dev for supplying the ROM - its done me very well over the last few months - but my urges for flashing are taking over again :)

(maybe i should rephrase that last sentence :p)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr9722:
This Rom is most defiantly not dead. Google released the factory images for 4.0.4 yesterday so the dev is most likely preparing an update as we speak. Hold fire for the next 24-48 hours - an update will be out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrenW:
The Dev's response to the update to 4.0.4 and some timings for a new release are about 10 posts above yours so it's definitely not dead!

Do you have to reboot to make this work? Even with renaming it (and clearing the existing notification), the notification was still coming back.

I'm rebooting now to see if that clears it.

UPDATE2: Tried rebooting into CWM and clearing the system cache and it is STILL coming up with the system update notification.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
I'm concerned about this as well. It's not the 4.0.4 radio image--I already flashed XXLA2 and I'm not experiencing signal drops on the existing version of Apex ROM. It has to be something either in the kernel or the ROM itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robkoehler:
I personally don't like 4.0.4. Keep the base at 4.0.3!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
Someone's come up with a way of testing to see if any particular phone has the signal dropout under 4.0.4 and a fix if it does:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
Since it has to do with sleeping I suspect the issue may be with the stock 4.0.4 kernel. A lot of the custom ROMs use custom kernels which may not have the bug.

I know it has nothing to do with the radio image, and I did not experience any signal drop when the phone sleeps on CM9 nightlies (unfortunately for me, the nightlies are still missing too many features to be a daily driver).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeyerA:
Hi, I just moved to Apex since I had signal drops on the latest CM nightly.

I like the AOKP weather status in the notification bar; you also got this in your screenshots. Can anybody tell me how to get this to this ROM? Is this an apk from the market? Thanks guys...

Some people may of.

But, your right, its a 'love' project and people need to realise that. There's other roms out there if you want to use them, no ones forcing you to use Apex. If you like it, show a little respect for the guy that spends ALOT of his own personal time doing this.

I posted something a while ago about a bit of an incentive for bigxie but there wasn't much of a response unfortunately.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daz.g:
Been running this rom from the beginning and not had a single crash , black screen or hangup. Its still as quick and reliable as when I first installed it. Bigxie seems to be a dev who wants to make his rom perfectly reliable which can only be a good thing.some devs are more keen to push every new mod and let the users do the bug testing - if that's what you want use another rom. Personally I'll keep this rom until any of the other roms offer a significant array of new features or bigxie offers a new update. From experience if he does update it it'll be fully working and reliable and surely that's what everyone wants?

Hello,

looks like I bricked my phone trying to update to V3

Was running V1, downloaded both files but when I plugged it to my Mac to transfer them, the phone started to bootloop

Rebooted in recovery, wiped Data/Cache and Dalvik but Nand restore of 2 different backups failed at data restore

Because of the lack of USB storage, I can't mount it from CWM to transfer the file and MTP won't work from CWM either =(

Can you please let me know how to push the files to the handset from CWM ? I know there are ADB commands to use but I don't know them

Thanks for your help

Hi, Sorry if this issue has already been identified. But I've noticed this is both the v2 and v3 ROMs.

Basically when I have a incoming call, the ringtone plays briefly and then goes quiet. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
boot your phone to CWM and open a command line

push your rom to the sdcard with:

adb push romname.zip /sdcard

if this doesnt work, do adb remount first

after this you can install the rom from CWM as usual :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rahan95:
Thank you very much !

Files are transfered OK according to the command line but when I reboot to CWN and navigate to SDCARD, they're not there. Could it be another path is needed for the GN ?
