The blue softkeys seem to break this now. If you flash it when the phone boots you get stuck with the lockscreen and a button saying UI has stopped responding but you can't click ok. Install worked fine without softkeys though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
So while im using the blue sit keys I can't make a legit backup??? Is there another way around this like flash old ones back just for a backup

~Sent from my Galaxy Nexus on Cm9~
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segfaultex:
This only happened when I tried to flash the softkeys. If you just don't flash them it will work fine just won't have blue softkeys. Could also just be me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njd15:
Do not put any invalid characters when you are going to save your backup...just save it as like jan08 and that's it.....don't put extra long names on it...it happened to me too...learned the hard way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
This totally worked I just backed up and flashed changing the title to jan8cm9. thank you prevented a lot of headaches having to load back all my stuff constantly.

I usually do a complete wipe when updating, but is it necessary when. Going from build to next build of the same rom. I am speaking about this rom not all rooms in general. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] da0ne:
Not necessary unless major changes in the build. Normally you can just wipe dalvik cache and flash new update

Face unlock on the 1/8 build does not work for me. Just an FYI. Anyone else observe the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
It hasn't been working for me since 1/3 build... hope there will be a fix soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ad78:
No issues on face unlock here since I started this ROM before new year
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
I can confirm that face unlock works for me, im on the last build I haven't flashed the new one yet.

Works fine for me make sure u flash the gapps again every time u update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
the face lock bug may matter upon if u start off new or flash the rom on top of ur old data.. like mine works, and i assume if i were to wipe data it wont..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abrinton:
Hi everyone- I have been using the 1/3 build with franco.kernel, and I just wanted to say it's an awesome setup. I'm getting extremely good battery life, and it's been very stable. I've been keeping the 4G off, and turning it on only when I need it. The I went all day yesterday and came home with over 50% battery left. To everyone who's working on this, great job!! Thank you!!

On the face unlock issue, I just updated to 1/8 build and got the error Face Unlock couldn't start. I reflashed gapps as noted, that fixed the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trdracer21:
Good to hear!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
Thanks for telling me!

I did not know you had to flash gapps after each update. Now face unlock works fine. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
alright guys! ive asked for it to be done, so i ended up just doing it myself.. x.x heres a flash file to change the battery icon to jazzk mod (cm7)

as always... DO A NANDROID! IM NOT LIABLE IF YOUR BREAK YOUR PHONE, OR IF IT DECIDES TO BECOME SELF AWARE!

heres the file jazzk gnex.zip and pic of it in "action" attached..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njd15:
Thank you...I got my face unlock working again!! Just needed to flash gapps again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xRogerxC:
Really? I've updated this ROM twice. Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and flash the update. No problems at all, and ALL of my Google Apps run fine and the app data is still intact for all of the apps as well :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hilbe:
Do we have any known issues with this ROM? Just curious what I'd have to give up / get used to with an alpha CM build such as this one...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njd15:
Then again I don't really wipe cache partition...I just wipe dalvik cache... I guess I will wipe cache partition on the next update. .....you said it does not delete any of ur apps and or data on the apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] travisjshepherd:
for some reason it wrecked my systemUI. "SystemUI not responding"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Treken:
Did you make a backup before flashing? Also, you flashed from recovery? Did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing? This is strange cause the system ui is exactly the same except for the edited pngs. Pull battery then reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakeh0:
my favorite feature of this new build is that when the softkeys disappear, if you have 4 softkeys there are now 4 dots instead of the previous build where if you had 4 softkeys there were just 3 dots and you had to guess.

great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
Does Google backup/restore work with this ROM or am I stuck with TiBu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Treken:
I've made sure that the zips are up-to-date with winners latest build, see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21175165#post21175165

I flashed all of these battery mods without wiping cach or dalvik. Let me know how this does for you. Also, my previous no percent zip had the softkeys modded blue but this one is only the modded battery icon.

Winner, I made 3 battery mods for your build. One is to remove the battery percentage, one adds the percent beside battery icon(a request by swordrune), and the third one returns the battery back to how you have it in your build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GirLuvsDroid:
That's correct -- wiping cache does not delete any apps or app data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arasky:
It hasn't worked for me at all on the gn. I had no problem with titanium, just remember don't restore any system data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crupp:
I haven't had any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] travisjshepherd:
I did flash from CWR, made a backup beforehand (as always, thanks Droid-life) & when I rebooted I did not have softkeys or status bar, I couldn't even unlock the phone. I'll try the updated zip now.

Reflections Soft Key/Battery % Mod File

I modded the SystemUI.apk from the 1-08 version of CM9 Kang with the blue reflections soft keys (images made by hxdrummerxc) and the percent in battery (the battery percents are from winner00's blue soft keys mod, in which I believe the images are made by Treken). I'm providing a link to a flashable zip download for anyone who wants it.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!

Here's the flashable zip DL link: http://www.box.com/shared/n4mocrpo16jekhglclja
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Decided to try out this ROM and I really love it so far. But for some reason I have no CM settings in the settings menu...only the Trebuchet settings are there. I can access the CM settings by using the app in the app drawer however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GirLuvsDroid:
[Edited -- redundant]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cms5423:
Yes, this is how it is until the ROM progresses more. It will eventually be integrated into the settings menu

Note: This is common to all CM9 builds (unless the kang specifically integrates it into the settings menu, but this would be a mod)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Really? I saw a video that showed the settings in the main menu area and that's why I thought something was wrong. Also, does anyone know how to remove the battery percentage from the battery icon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GirLuvsDroid:
You need to change the images in SystemUI.apk, or find a mod without the battery percentages that was specifically made for CM9 Kang 1-8 version. Any mod you apply to change the batteries will also change the soft keys to whatever version is in that mod.

lte toggle

I thought this change was suppose to add an LTE toggle to the power widget. It didn't for my phone, am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GirLuvsDroid:
It's for the toggles in the pulldown menu. It's one of the options in Cyanogen Mod Settings. I have it, and it works.

Just upgraded from the 1/3 build to this latest one. I was previously having two issues.

1. The voice search key wasn't present on the keyboard in any apps

2. Google calendar would not sync

I did the wipe data / factory reset, then installed this build and finally, I installed the zip of Gapps that is on the first page of this thread. Everything is working correctly now.

Hopefully doing what I did can help people that were having these same issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winner00:
You have to flash gapps everytime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ciggyy:
Is there a changelog for this rom. See you added an update 1/8/12 but what does this consist of? Do you have version number so I know what im upgrading to or wether I should wait for the next update.

Thanks for your hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
I actually went ahead and flashed this before I read your reply, but it did work for me. I still had to use TiBu to restore my non-market apps, of course. So far this ROM seems pretty nice. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to get the lock screen to always display the battery percentage? I could have sworn there was an option for it, but I can't find it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GirLuvsDroid:
Wow, this ROM with the Franco #11 kernel...just wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Treken:
Np!

I can add your mod to my mods page so we can have a one-stop shop for all the mods for this rom.

This has been addressed already. Look here:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anothervictim.:
Same here. Just flashed. Any fix for the calendar sync? I have already reflashed gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GirLuvsDroid:
I'm not sure what you mean? My calendar is syncing flawlessly. I just did another test (added an event on the Google calendar on the PC) and it added to my GNex calendar immediately.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
So my first night on CM9 didn't go so well. I left my phone unplugged to calibrate the battery overnight, but it died because somehow the screen and Wi-Fi were on non-stop even though the screen was off and I had Green Power running. This never happened when I was on stock 4.0.2. Here is a pic:

I wanted the battery to die eventually but not like this. Any ideas why this happened? I am going to see if it happens again tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gwanatu:
I'm not using the newest update but my exchange calendar sync works just fine, as well as Gmail/Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VTHockey11:
Looks to me like you lost your wireless signal overnight, which means the phone was constantly searching for it. I've had a few instances where, in my office, the signal has dropped to zero for 15 or 20 minutes and battery life tanks when that happens. That's all I'm seeing there. Looks like your phone stayed awake because it was looking for a signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djh816:
any way to replace the switch tasks button with the search key? I love the search but I don't like the additional button. The home button hold is what I'm used to anyways. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DSMDev:
I didn't have to flash Gapps when I went from the 12/28 (I think) build to the 1/3 build. I just cleared cache, flashed the 1/3 build and all my data was retained and everything worked with the exception of the voice search key and the calendar. Those had never worked. I had flashed an older version of ICS Gapps so that might have been it.

Why do you need to reflash Gapps each time if you are flashing a new CM9 build? Do you need to clear cache, too? What about clearing data and doing a factory reset?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GirLuvsDroid:
You have to reflash GApps every time because when you flash the ROM, it overwrites everything that was in /system, including the GApps. When loading a new version of the same ROM, unless the dev specifies otherwise, you should be fine just wiping cache and Dalvik cache. If you're coming to this ROM from another ROM, it's best practice to format /system /data/ and /boot, as well as cache and Dalvik cache.

If you find you're experiencing a lot of FCs or other "bugs" that others are not reporting, it's probably time to format all partitions and start new, even if you just went from one version of the ROM to another.

Update Problems

The only problems I've noticed so far with the Jan. 8th update was that now I have two Galleries in my apps menu and for some reason the update uninstalled Google Wallet, which isn't a big deal because it wasn't working anyway with the security issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dethsesh:
Exact same issues with me as well.

I also did not have to reload gapps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gwanatu:
Reflash GApps, that'll fix the issue.

Also just as an update, I'm now on the 1/8 build and exchange calendar sync is working fine for me. Those having issues I suppose just try to remove and re-enter your exchange account info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JDQuackers:
So forgive me if this is a silly question, but can't the GApps be included in the ROM to prevent having to re-flash them every time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipp:
cyanogen got a c&d letter from google for including their proprietary apps. thus why there's a gapps package.

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

winner00, any chance of getting this added to rom manager? at least then it should get rid of the flash gapps every time (it's an option when updating a rom along w/ backing up and wiping)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
rom manager causes problems, the less automated you do things, the less buggy your set up is going to be
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Well I'm not sure if the Galaxy Nexus is properly setup with Rom Manager to flash roms yet. I think it attempts by booting into CWM but fails for some reason.

I wouldn't consider it ready for prime time yet on the Nexus but Rom Manager doesn't make a more buggy or less buggy environment afterwards. The rom will flash the same way it flashes.

The only option it doesn't have, is the option to format /system (which can be handy). Other then that, it is the preferred method of flashing IMO. When using Rom Manager it will also download the latest GAPPS and flash that afterwards automatically too.

That plus it tells you when there is an update available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
i just know that when finding a problem when someone has flashed a rom (or rooted a device) getting rid of the automation usually helps to eliminate issues.

Is anyone else's wifi disconnecting when the screen is off even though its set not to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambit07:
Mine is not. Quick question, anybody else notice bad battery life? Is that a common theme for the gnex on all roms? This is the first rom I've tried and I get around 10 hours of battery with only 3g/wifi with light to moderate use.The stock rom seemed to be similar. Is this what is usual on this phone even without 4g?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDave1022:
I would think you could just flash the latest kang and it should get you back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipp:
i have it working. (using cwm 5.5.0.4) just have to download the rom manually and then install rom from sd card. i might just start manually rebooting into recovery so i can apply the latest zip and also flash gaaps w/out having to reboot after the new rom is applied.

never really had any issues with rom manager on the g1, n1 or now the gnex. only real issue i can think of is that rom manager kept trying to update cwm recovery to a version that didn't work on the n1 but that was easy to disable. the only reason i can see automation messing something up is if someone didn't wipe davlic or rom manager missed checking an updates md5.

Has anyone noticed issues w/ the stock sms app? If I'm in a particular thread, pressing the back button correctly goes back to the message list but then immediately closes out. It looks like the launcher gets completely redrawn at this time but no crash/force close message appears. If you use the sms-specific back button at the top left corner of the app, it goes back to the messages list as it should. I did a search in this thread but didn't come across any reports of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Fine but saying Rom Manager doesn't work right is misleading. It works fine and does most of what you need. If you DO run into a problem you need to manually check some things out but I've never seen Rom Manager boink a phone. Usually its when people use Rom manager and jump from rom to rom without wiping first.

Wifi disconnects for me. I've been trying to download the SD contents for MC3 but when the screen turns off it kicks the download. Also downloading roms... they end up failed. The only way I've found is to set it to Never when Plugged in.. and plug it in for long downloads. Or keep the screen on.

Battery life has been fine for me. Maybe not as good as some of the first ones on 1.0.3 but better then most. I can typically go from 8-midnight with some left over.

Your battery life is that good? Is 4g on or off? I wouldn't be able to get that much out of decent usage, really light maybe, and that's with 4g off.

Thanks for your suggestion but I'm wondering if there's a way to go back to stock color soft keys without having to flash this rom/wiping(I'm coming from another rom now). I would like to flash rom/wipe as last resort to get regular stock soft keys.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
you dont need to wipe, it should overwrite it like it does the kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grenwar:
oh so I just need to find the stock soft keys zip and install? If so could anybody point me in the right direction? I'll also try the search field now for that ;]

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cms5423:
That's what he was saying above: You should be able to just install the cm9kang rom and it should restore the softkeys (he was noting that is also the way to return to the stock rom's kernel)

so if you use a different kernel, install the cm9 rom, then install the kernel you want.

Just remember to do a nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong, but you should not need to wipe, it will save all of your /data because it will not be erasing this part
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grenwar:
I found a stock color zip in the soft key thread in the theme forums but wasn't able to install through recovery, it kept saying installation aborted.

I guess I wasn't clear earlier. Like I said I'm coming from another rom now, not CM9Kang so I would like to flash CM9Kang/Wipe as a last resort. If that's the case, is it ok/safe to reflash the same rom (the one I'm on now)?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sinik420:
if youre coming from another ROM you have to wipe...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grenwar:
yeah I know that. I decided to just reflash the rom I'm currently on, if that doesn't do it then I'll wipe and then reflash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cms5423:
Yes, just flash whatever rom you are on now to reset the softkeys. Why would that be CM9 specific? ha

lol thought this thread was appropriate because I got the blue soft key zip from here to install, just no idea how to uninstall other than wiping and reflashing lol

Have you tried a complete wipe and re-install of the ROM? If so this sounds like a hardware issue that might just be coincidental to me. Just tried it on mine and it's not exhibiting that sort of behavior.

Could be a bad cable or your usb port damaged. Try moving the micro USB cable around when plugged into the phone and see if starts charging at any point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] breakthestatic:
I've seen that before as well, both on the stock rom and CM. Samsung is notorious for having finicky usb ports. Is this the cable that came with the phone or another generic micro usb?

to answer you all:

its a third party heavy gauge gold plated usb cable, and i tried the original cable and it does not happen... bs i guess, i have to use the original even though its only a few feet, i needed the 15 footers for to plug my phone in and reach it :(
