Just tried the latest, overall feels very smooth but with very noticable settings menu/options lags. I changed back to franco's latest kernel and it improves a lot. I general, i still feel the open kang rom is slightly faster. Anyone else have similar obserations?

Thanks for the great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
I searched and found something around post #400 but no real answer...

My Android version number is 4.0.3.0.2.0.1.0. Any indication as to why?

Also, I searched for the GRAY SIGNAL BARS NOT TURNING BLUE, and someone mentioned that it could be a baseband issue. I'm on XXKK6, is that not the latest one? I'll reflash...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I Had that problem with my signal bars that means that there is no connection to Google services. But after flashing v4 everything was fine again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
+1 as to the version number... Hehe this is a build from the far future.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
I'm on version 4 right now as well with no luck... Also on franco kernel... Don't think that has to do with it... Just re-flashed the baseband. Tried removing and re-adding my Google account, fail.. I wonder whats up....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Anyone have any problems with their notification pulldown menu showing certain in apps in grey? Havent had this problem in other roms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
I for one would love at least an add on to remove the search bar and make the grid 5x4. I hate the search bar, just takes up unneeded space. Also battery life after switching to your kernel with the charging fix I'm back up to well over a day of battery life, great rom and kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steveeJ:
thanks for the good work, seems to be pretty stable.

i noticed that it's very important to flash the gapps before booting the first time, cause otherwise calendar sync doesn't work.

but i have some questions for you if you don't mind :)

is it possible to enable setCPU voltage controls for this kernel?

are you planning notification power widget mod?

are you planning a search button mod?

thanks again :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shetlander:
When you flashed the ROM did you format all the caches? Did you flash the gapps that where made for that ROM straight afterwards without a reboot? Did you reinstall programs with Titanium Backup?

I found that if I didnt format all the caches it happened. Also if you reinstal a backup with Titanium it might have put a setting back from a previos version of the apps that is not compatable with the version you install.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

There already is one if you look through the theme and appss. Im using it at the moment and it works on every ROM ive flashed so far. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385425
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
All caches formatted (dalvik and what else?)

Flash ROM then gapps with nothing in between. Then kernel, still nothing.

Leaving titanium backup out of it.

Try opening Talk and signing into your account.

Assuming everything tests well, I should have v5 out later tonight (holiday party first :) )

Great news, looking forward to it! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubino90:
i love it :) i attend for good night
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
Hi, I was planning on flashing this rom and I had a couple of questions. I went through the thread but didn't really understand a couple of things. Do I have to flash the Apex kernel with this or can I leave the one that comes with the rom (assuming the rom comes with one) ? And if I do have to flash it, which one do I do? I see a few options in the second post of the thread and I'm not sure which one would be the best. Thanks in advance to whoever that can help me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
No need to use Apex kernel but you can if you want.

The different Apex kernels are for the different OC values. I'm not sure if they are set at boot or if they are just the maximum values you can set yourself, someone else who has used it can probably confirm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
ok thanks. and if I use the the kernel that comes with the rom is everything still as smooth as everyone is saying?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
You should test it and find out ;) you can always throw on a different kernel if you aren't satisfied
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
okay will do. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leoaudio13:
There is one more thing. The camera in this build has slower focus time and it is not 'shutter delay free'. Has anyone experienced the same probblem ? Some of my friends said the same too. I guess its the app itself , nothing to do with the build,right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jrbourque:
I'm on build 2 still ...never had issues with gapps.. can I update to 4 with a wipe if I don't flash gapps ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stellaryt:
I flashed the rom 3 days...Just find one problem... It can not charge when the device off. [Build 4]

BTW，the T9 Dialer isn't support Chinese...It just can get the phone number or English name with the "smart" way.And of course it's not the rom's problem.

Ur rom is amazing.Thx and Merry X'mas~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
Why having sound when i take a screenshot??thx!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
I think Google did this in response to all the reviews that criticized the camera for often taking blurry pictures.

Hi, yeah, the T9 dialer is a WIP by the CM team. I may re-add it to the ROM later if it gets to be more stable. Currently, there is an issue where if you use it to make predictions repeatedly without actually dialing a number, it will eventually crash (memory leak?)

The charging problem is a kernel issue. It has since been fixed in all my Apex kernels, and in build 5.

That's the way the screenshot feature works :-/

OP is updated with build 5. Facebook sync has been added, though it requires additional tables to be created in the contacts sql database, which means that a full wipe is necessary. Sorry!

Otherwise, additional features include support for 1% battery icons (though by default, they are stock), charging fixed, undervolting for longer battery, init.d scripts for some extra performance/battery, and a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head.

Enjoy! And Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illmatic416:
Hi bigxie, if we don't care for Facebook sync, can we just install over build4 without a full wipe and only wipe cache&dalvik cache? Thanks for this and Happy Holidays!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catbear:
not that I care so much about it, but seems fb sync still doesn't work...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hosmsdos:
How is the performance of this rom... do you experience any lag in app drawer or home screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aras1:
can we install francos kernel ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danbrown162:
New rom so far is smooth as butter.

One request though, can you change the 4G symbol to H+ ?

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catbear:
yes, I'm using Franco's nightly 5. so far I haven't noticed any performance improvement over build4/nightly4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aras1:
sync with facebook works but i don't get the profile pictures from my facebook contacts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sim-1:
Same here..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
Anyone have a problem seeing all their installed apps in the market under my apps? I'm on my phone and can't do a search
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dj_ghosie:
Hi Bigxie,

Is it possible to add the extra build number information in the "about phone" such as "IML74K Bigxie Build 5"?

Great ROM by the way!

Would be best to change the 4G sign back to H+ as it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dantheman_:
Really really not feeling the "4g" icon. Pretty please revert to H.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3ferrei:
Doesn't bother me either way but if I had to choose I would go with H. Or at least make it FG for faux g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenzip:
how can i view the battery percentage in notification menu?

Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tnicko:
You can grab one of the mods in the themes and apps forum.

I've also noticed that the battery percentage on the lock screen stays at 100%. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
Mine moves down, I'm at 89% now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenzip:
Thanks work now! :D

PS.

Also mine percentage in lock screen work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Good morning!

I'll post a SystemUI with the H icon back in a little bit :p

As for Facebook picture sync, it does work, though you may need to coax it a little. The trick I used back in GB still works: go into accounts, click your FB account, uncheck sync contacts, then check it again. This forces it to resync.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
They fb sync trick didn't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tnicko:
Mine is working now after I plugged it in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
That's a great idea, I'll look into adding the 'Mod Version' field into About Phone.

The support for 1% battery mods doesn't mean the older ones will work OOB. You need to extract the battery and charging images out of those mods and add them into my framework-res, then flash the modified file. I just modified the battery and charging XMLs to read all 100 icons.

As for the lock screen battery %, it does show 100% after a reboot because it hasn't gotten the battery value yet. After the first time you unlock it, it will show the correct percentage.

Are you at a place with strong signal/on wifi? Are you doing a sync all, or just sync existing contacts? Did you do a full wipe prior to installing build 5?

Also, I've posted some additional mods in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizzxx7:
I did a full wipe and I'm doing a sync all. I'm also only a few feet away from my wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atiasdudi:
Noob question (first android device lol):

im running v3 with franco's kernel, i want to flash to v5 (without franco now - just to see this Apex kernel)

do i also need a dalvik cache wipe because i use a different kernel now? what is dalvik cache anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kara mustafa:
You need a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elemenopee:
What else does the SystemUI mod do besides reverting back to the H signal icon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danbrown162:
Brilliant,

thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerberos7:
Could you extract the facebook stuff in extras /mods? Plz keep rom clean as posible. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Nothing, just the icon change, due to popular request ;-)

Just don't sync your Facebook account if you don't want to use it. The changes required to support FB sync are minor, but also deeply system embedded, so making it an add on is not an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenzip:
FB sync existing contacts doesn't work for me, so any option I choose FB always sync to all FB friends, the selective sync for only existing contact does not work even if I select twice...help pls

ps.

Sorry for my english! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Antzor:
Are there any plans to allow custom voltage settings for the kernel?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Sorry, the only way it will work is if you do a full wipe, with a fresh install if the Facebook app (don't restore a backup of it).

No, the code is unstable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Thank you so much for this ROM! It's buttery smooth, stable, bug free (I may find something, but it's certainly minor) and overall the best ROM around. If only I could find a battery percentage mod...

I bow to thee :D

EDIT: the battery percentage mod here seems to be working fine on V5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xSunny:
Does this include the menu key in the softkey mods?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
I suggest to everyone to try the Minimalistic Kernel... very stable.

Flash it from here works both on GSM/CDMA.

your Bigxie-rom looks good but it doesnt do a restor of my phonesettings from my google acount .. why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Obviously i am using bigxie rom.

I think its the smoothest kernel out there.. just flash it and if you dont like it return back to apex kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mnemoch:
Seriously? It's a database change. Just don't set up the sync. No data, no cpu, no ram, no storage space used. Where is the downside?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
It's a gapps issue, noted in the first post.

Still looking for a solution...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
bigxie, thanks for the rom, great work. Just wanted to ask you specifically which kernel have you used in build 5? I saw a few Apex kernel links in the 2nd post of the thread. Because I was thinking of trying out a different one and in case I want to go back to the default kernel, that's why I would like to know which one it is. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bxsteez:
Any chance of getting the persistent menu button on the right side mod? Tried the available mods and it just causes errors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thatg:
+1 one thing missing in my life, besides Ferrari supermodels
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
The ROM comes with the 1.2GHz version by default.

Yes, I was trying to build a complete base first, prior to building the mods. I think we're getting close to being finished with the base, so I can turn my attention towards these mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
Awesome. If we had a mod for persistent menu buttons maybe both sides and possibly a search button this rom would be complete for me anyway. Thanks for the update runs super smooth for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Would be sweet if thus could stay as an option. For some reason, I really like the 3 keys by themselves :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enaybee:
double that. I never used "search" hard key on my previous handsets and will not going to use it. Please offer it as an option so that whoever likes it could get it. For me I like your rom as is. Super smooth and stable. Infact I will go as far as to say that I have had better experience with your ROM than ARHD 2.1.2. Even T9 dialer is not misbehaving on me (i am on v4). :)

Good work Bigxie ... keep it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dying4004:
i cant download anything from market in v5. i have been using this rom from v1 to v4 and no other versions had this problem. it shows error "Clockr could not be downloaded due to an error (491). do i need to delete my data and try again? cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Did you wipe everything when upgrading from v4 to v5?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dying4004:
yep i did.

UPDATE: did a re - wipe and reinstalled gapps and now it's working fine.

UPDATE 2 : Its happening again. this time i found out that it happens after a titanium restore. so, there must be 1 software which is causing this. But when i restore v4 there is no problem with market but with v5 i am having this market problem. :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elemenopee:

worked fine on stock and custom 402 roms.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddmmh:
Hi Bigxie,

First off, amazing work on the ROM, it runs flawlessly with one exception.

Ive had this bug ever since ive installed the ROM(v2)

For V5 I did a full wipe and started from vanilla of your V5.

It seems to be an issue with the lock screen but I wouldnt know what it is. Happens probably 4-5 times a day. Generally when I go to unlock the phone. Anyway ive attached the bug report and screenshot to see if you may have an idea why I keep getting these errors? cheers.

EDIT. I just realised all these bug reports were being saved on my memory card. So here they all are together if that helps. 15.2mb zip file hosted on my site

thnx for the reply but i cant set any normal wallpaper. weird
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Audionut11:
omg, I think I found a winner.

So far, every other rom and kernel combination I have tried has had high idle usage. Also had an issue where the os was waking wifi and keeping it on about 10mins after my task had enabled airplane mode.

So far I've only lost 1% of battery an hour in idle and the os isn't overiding my manual airplane mode.

I see how it goes overnight if it wakes wifi up (after the task kicks in). But it's looking really good so far.

Can't say enough thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sim-1:
Bigxie, 2 things mate:

1 - although the battery drain is GONE when the phone is in flight mode, if I leave it with the screen off but with radio and wi-fi on, I noticed an increased consumption than on your V3 version (so far that was the best in that regard).

2 - can you increase the speed of the screen rotation? It takes ages to go from portrait to landscape (and back).

Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xelapr:
Thanks for your hard and excellent work. Is there an option to disable the battery % from the lock screen?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
You guys can try the stock kernel at the very bottom of my first post, as that's the one that was included in v3.

I'll look into speeding up the rotation speed ;-)

I'm back to your signed_Apex_Kernel_v3_IML74K_135 Kernel again, not the stock googlesource kernel.

Process for me

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to post the process that worked for me. I'm not getting any FCs or having any major notable issues.

1) Copy ROM, GApps and any mods onto the internal storage

2) Reboot into recovery

3) Wipe cache, Dalvik, and Data (factory reset)

4) Flash ROM

5) Flash GApps

6) Reboot into ROM for the first time

7) Reboot into Recovery again

8) Flash desired mods

9) Restore APP ONLY using TiBu

10) Clear Market Data

11) Restore App data (for USER APPS ONLY) using TiBu

That was the process that worked for me. No force closes, no data loss, all I needed to do was customize certain settings again, like ring-tones and such.

Also, I was able to use QuickPic to set a custom wallpaper without any issues at all. Hope that helps!

I've been running the stock kernel for a few hours and it definitely consumes less battery than any other. Strongly suggested!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
So do I and I agree...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
Even compared to Franco's kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
I use Franco's kernel and it definitely isn't the best for battery life, but it's definitely the smoothest kernel out there and now with the Voodoo Colour it's hard to turn back!!

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
The stock kernel gave me roughly 35+ hours on my normal use. With the apex kernel in around 24-30. With fancos I'm lucky if I can hit 18+ with the same use and settings. But I do agree Franco's is the smoothest.
