So Far So good...

Loaded this yesterday and so far it has been running great. Initial battery life looks to be an improvement (for me) from 4.02. No issue with Exchange Sync, no issue with Market, no issue with GPS.

12 hours in and so far, only 20 of my 200+ of my contacts have picture 'synced' with my FB account. Any idea how long it should take?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
I just flashed again (properly this time) and I immediately got bugreport prompts. Sorry, this just isn't for me. I love bigxie's work from DX, but this CDMA piece is not buggy (battery + bug reporting).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
You can try forcing them to sync by unchecking sync and rechecking it in accounts settings, under Facebook.

Some extras coming in the next build:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manager77:
WOW!...build #7 is coming.When will you release it? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scramjones496:
sometimes the browser stops loading and if you try to take more than 2 panoramic photos the camera freezes up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pwsfinest:
I wish I could same the same about the speed... for me, it's usable, but there is a noticeable lag when I do just about anything. Getting rid of the live wallpaper has helped a little, but it still seems to be quite slow. It's unfortunate since I really like a lot of the new features.

The one thing I miss the most is being able to uninstall an app by dragging it to home screen and then uninstall...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Now.

Are you using the included launcher. Hold down the app (while in drawer), there's an uninstall button that will pop up (assuming it's not a system app). LWPs are hit and miss, some lag a lot, other don't at all (phase beam).

OP updated with build 2, enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
this rom is great. i have couple of questions if u can:

1. if im coming from build 1 to build 2, do i still need to flash gapps?

3. do i need to reflash the trebuchet launcher remover again since i assume build 2 will reinstall it back?

2. how do i send gpu back to 307mhz or whatever stock was, i dont really see any need to oc gpu.

p.s. u should be recognized dev already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
Build 2 autobrightness does not work no matter what I play with. It also cause the phone not to sleep when it is enabled and the phone chews through battery. Disable it and the phone goes back to normal. Any ideas? In build 1 autobrightness worked just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Yes, you'll always need to reflash gapps. Yes, you'll need to use the remover.

Set the GPU back to stock with the stock kernel mod.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
Flashed the update along with stock launcher and its running good so far I'll let you guys know. This is my favorite rom so far hands down f-a-b-o-l-o-u-s
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
i do want the other features of apex like the uv and stuff, just not the gpu oc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
Don't take my post the wrong way, out of all the 4.0.3 roms I have tried(about all of them) yours had the best battery, at around 7% decrease an hour in standby, with the franco kernel that came down to 5% an hour. With a 4.0.2 verizon modified rom I'm getting on average about 3% loss an hour in standby.

EDIT: Wiped and reinstalled, seems that autobrightness is working now, this rom is a treat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sucker4pa1n:
This is pretty wicked, so far loving it and it's running like a champ. One oddity, though - seems like two notification widgets keep magically reappearing at reboot. I have to re-toggle my widgets to clear it. Aside from that I dig it! And yes... I'm not changing this out. Like a boss.

EDIT-- Apparently either the next few reboots or flashing Apex v5 (which was an accident... apparently v5 is misnamed as v3 in about phone) but whatever, its fixed. Yay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
Fyi the blue soft key mod in winners cm9 thread works its changes the soft key color puts % in the battery as well. Only thing I don't like is it changes the toggle style in the pull down . I preferred what came with this rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfeckert:
The my verizon app isn't working. Any idea why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Because it's not based on Verizon source is my guess. ;)

Anyone that is having problems with auto brightness, not being able to uninstall apps from the app drawer (drag and drop), lag, etc, something with your install isn't right or you most likely (and on accident) restored system data from Titanium Backup. Also, while I haven't experienced issues with restoring apps/data from Google (in fact, I did that with this ROM), I HAVE had issues with that before on previous devices.

The other possibility, if you're running an undervolt kernel, is that underclocking is not a good idea with your particular CPU. One of the reasons why stock voltages are so high is to compensate for the chips that roll off the assembly line that are weak.

I know it's not in the instructions, but this is how I started installing ROMs several months back, and it worked every time on my Vibrant, and every time so far on the GN:

From CWM:

1) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

2) Format System

3) Flash ROM

4) Flash GAPPS

5) Wipe Data/Factory Reset

6) Reboot phone

7) Walk away

8) 10 minutes later come back and set it up.

I'm still on Build 1 played, and I've played with this Rom on the included kernel, and with Franco's and they've both provided speeded results. I haven't really tested battery with either kernel. The only thing weird for me is that my GPS is now slow to lock, but that could be due to other things other than the ROM (like the kernel, particular apps, etc).

Here's the thing to remember about flashing these 4.0.3 ROM's. There's a reason why we don't have an official update yet, and that's because, for whatever reason, it's NOT ready for the LTE GN. It's not going to be perfect yet.

Everything is working great for me, except for slow GPS locks (cold start) but I really don't think that's due to the ROM. I've been trying out a ton of new apps lately and I've seen all kinds of weird things interfere with GPS before. Shoot, for all I know it could be the framework changes I made with MetaMorph. It's the price we pay to play. :D

Again, great work on this ROM! It's the only 4.0.3 ROM I've tried so far, and I've stuck with it because it's so stock. Also, anyone know a good Voice Recorder App? I noticed there wasn't one included. I may restore mine from 4.0.2 and just see how it runs (and there I go talking about doing what I say never to do). ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
No idea why, but for some reason Verizon apps don't work on 4.03.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
As far as I know, Verizon apps are framework-dependent in order to work. It's another reason why the LTE GN is so different from GSM GN. The 4.0.3 builds floating around out here are built off of binaries, not source. The Verizon framework is non-existent, so none of those apps are going to work.

It's kinda funny, the majority of XDA whined and moaned for MONTHS about VZW bloatware being included on the device. Now a lot of people want it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
Getting crappier battery life on v2 on Franco's latest kernal. I noticed my default minimum CPU was 700 I turned it down to 350 on conservative hope it helps cause my battery life was awesome with screen on time on the previous build.

Sent from my GNEX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfeckert:
Ditto on the battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
There was an issue with deep sleep caused by a fix for deep idle on the crespo and crespo4g builds.

I've since fixed it and uploaded a new build in the OP. Please try the new version, thanks! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howarmat:
downloaded and giving it a second chance now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
Would it be too hard to post a flashable patch zip from build 2.1 to 2.2

Thanks

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howarmat:
did i miss why there is no battery % indicator? I know i can flash the CM9 mod to get it but like the other poster i prefer the pulldown mods where they are located now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
if we get % on battery in status bar and this rom is THE best 4.0.3 rom out there. Awesome Job Bigxie.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chad88tc:
Still no deep sleep here. Flashed over 2.1 wiping cache and davlik, no go. Then flashed again wiping data, cache and davlik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
+1 I've found battery mods that work but it always changes something in the system UI I don't want changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chad88tc:
Flashed the factory 4.0.2 images, started fresh, flashed 2.2 and gapps, installed only cpuspy and still cant get deep sleep. Anyone have any ideas, will have to go to another rom I if cant figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I went back to 4.0.2. This ROM is really nice, but the battery life was worse than I realized at first with the so called cpu awake bug...which I'm sure is the reason why we don't have official 4.0.3 yet.

If I didn't need the battery life, I would have stayed with her! Looking forward to giving it a whirl again on down the road. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howarmat:
I do not have any issues with deep sleep but i am not using the kernel that came with this rom. Try a few other kernels and see if you have better luck perhaps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
I'm using the franco kernel and getting great results here is a screenshot from CPU spy.

Also please ensure when you first boot the phone you open and close the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stank0:
I can't really attest to battery life 'coz I've got it plugged in but I'm afraid it won't be stellar since last night I've had it tethered to my laptop and it was actually losing charge instead of the other-preferred way around ;)

BUT! This rom, with combination with franco's kernel, is a BEAST!

Look at my screenshots.

No problems with deep sleep here. Unplugged for approx 3.5hrs, lost 20%. Cpuspy says it was deep sleeping the whole time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chad88tc:
Tried a couple different kernals, with francos or lou's it stays in 700. Won't even get down to 350.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stank0:
Did you set it in performance settings? 'Coz mine came with default

1200/700. I changed it to 1350/350.

Don't know it that'll help you any with the deep sleep issue.

If you got everything set up correctly I'd guess flawed chip. It'll be hard to convince Verizon to replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chad88tc:
It will go to deep sleep completely stock, even on Lou's rom, just not on this rom. Might just have to switch roms for now, but I like the add-ons and speed of this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Circle battery and softkeys mod

Check out the excellent mod created by he_stheone64!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Howie Dub:
Just flashed this ROM and downloaded the My Verizon - Galaxy Nexus app from the Market and it works fine on 2-2. I'd post a link, but I can't post an external link until I have 8 posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
Here is a screenshot of battery usage just before going to bed today. This rom with franco's kernel is killer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
Yea, that 4.0.3 cpu awake thing is a killer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
You had to flash GAPPS again if coming from v1? I didn't and no google accounts in sync anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Yes, you need to flash gapps always, regardless of which build you're coming from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
i think everyone would love the battery 1% mod in the rom, however i hope that you will make the button mod a flashable option because i for one would like to get using the new scheme google has in mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stank0:
I second that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoobDroid90:
I have been looking around the files of the rom. I would like to replace the virtual buttons and highlight, but I can't find the png files. Where are they? Can anyone give some info?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
The themer made one w/o the UI patches too. It's here:

http://www.multiupload.com/3L3NR26S3Q

Also added to the OP.

The reason I'm not making these myself is because I'm not at a point with the ROM where I know that resources in framework and systemui aren't going to change, so I don't want to have to redo all the mod for each version.

Preferable, I'd like to build all these mods in source, and make them user toggleable, but I also have some work on that front.

Should be in systemui and framework-res.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoobDroid90:
I have looked through all the hdpi and xhdpi files and haven't found any ic_sysbar pngs other than the settings one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
systemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoobDroid90:
What are they called? The soft key buttons. I can't find any ic_sysbar files. None for recent, back, Search, or home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoobDroid90:
Also what is the difference between. Hdpi and xhdpi. There are pngs for battery in both. Which I also plan to change the skin of
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
Well I don't know what I did but now I have no deep sleep, and no matter how much I wipe and reinstall I can not get it back. Even if I don't install any apps or kernels.

I installed the % on battery mod, didn't like it and restored a nandroid this morning is when everything went bat****. I am not sure, but I've wiped data/cache/system about 10 times and reinstalled the rom 10 or so times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
you will forever have the gratitude, prayers and hopefully donations of the members here for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Here's a first step. Send your thanks to @xoomdev, since he coded this, I just cherry picked his commit and created the submenu in my settings app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidholic:
Looks great. Will those who prefer the stock look, including the stock soft keys have the ability to continue using that in your next build? I ask because I am one of those that prefers the new ICS layout. One of the reasons I chose your rom over others was because of the stock appearance while also incorporating some nice goodies. Thank you for an excellent rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Yeah, if you leave both boxes unticked, it's the normal layout.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afipanic:
Been running your rom now for awhile bigxie and I must say thanks because battery life is phenomenal, its fast and snappy, I love all the little tweaks you've done. Thank you for sharing this with us and keep up the amazing work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
bigxie, are you planning on sticking with Fab's kernel or trying Imo's?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
I thought bigxie and Fab are the same person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CouttsPhotog:
I flashed this rom last night along with franco's kernel, and wow my battery life is good now! When I was stock I'd need to charge the phone by now (4pm EST), but I'm still above 75%! Amazing rom too, this is exactly what I have been looking for. It's stock with just a few extras (like the screenshot and notification toggles), perfect!

One thing I noticed: enabling the "Force GPU rendering" option in the developer menu seems to make things a lot smoother, and also boosts quadrant scores a ton! My score is now 3058!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
I plan on continuing to include my Apex kernel by default. It's what I test with, and it's what I know the ROM runs well with.

Of course, you are all welcome and encouraged to try different kernels as well :-)

OP updated with build 3!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
Are there any options for getting the battery percentage on the battery image in the status bar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
Please let me know if deep sleep is working again for you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Howie Dub:
This is what I did to add the battery % mod to my phone without having to reflash the ROM. I used the zip by ljwnow found here. Since I didn't like the pngs he used, I used one of the ones found here. Followed pedmond's directions in the GSM thread, post 891, and copied the new pngs in the corresponding folder. Thanks to ljwnow for creating the flashable zip and to pedmond for his expertise :)

EDIT: Forgot to thank mrvirginia for compiling the pngs into one place. Also, just noticed that by flashing the % mod, you lose the search and menu options on the navigation bar. Will try later to add the pngs to the ROM and see if that keeps it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Howie Dub:
Just reflashed the ROM with the new battery % pngs and it works w/o losing the search and menu options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] datboiro:
It's not working for me. I flashed the new ROM update, figuring the kernel update is included, but after sitting for the past 20 mins. it still won't go into deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosms:
will give it a try,looks very nice on the pic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmrfslash:
yep, I'm having the same issue

email syncs just fine, calendar does not...

any ideas?

EDIT: nevermind, everything works great, maybe I needed to give it a few minutes or I was looking at the wrong month/year, either way, user error
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wade-0:
Mine only seems to go into deep sleep when plugged in. Otherwise it spends most of the "idle" time at 350.

The other issue I'm having is with NFC. When I try to enable the check box, it just unchecks itself.

Edit: OK, I guess the deep sleep IS working now... Weird. Last night it wasn't working unless plugged in, but this morning it seems to be working fine. Still no NFC though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
That was an issue with my initial upload yesterday, could you try the link again, I've fixed it since.

Or, you could flash a different kernel (I recommend imoseyon), as that is the only change I made (I made some mistakes with my own Apex kernel which caused the NFC issue).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wade-0:
I'll re-flash the ROM and let you know if it fixes the NFC.

(The links in your OP still point at v5 of your kernel, and I didn't see another thread dedicated to just the kernel anywhere.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CouttsPhotog:
I noticed a bug today: sometimes when I try to adjust my ringer volume, the volume bar freezes and doesn't reflect the volume change for a few seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
Every time I always tried to flash a mod that had the battery percentage I would loose other elements like dropdown widgets and such. I always assumed that since i was overwriting some files that those files had the modification in them so when they are overwritten they disappear. My thought process was that I should be able to take my current files off my phone and add the png files in the correct spot and effectively merge all the mods together. Unfortunately I was never able to get it to work. After every reboot I had the stock battery still. Can you provide some details on how you were able to merge both mods together?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
Doh! I updated my maguro thread to account for the kernel problem, but forgot this one. I am packing imoseyon in with the ROM for the time being while I sort out issues with V6, which is also why I didn't update the 2nd post. Thanks for letting me know.

FWIW, Apex V5 is fully compatible with this ROM as well, and does not have any NFC/reboot issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wade-0:
Yeah, I noticed the the kernel was switched out when I checked the Phone status after flashing and was going to remind you to update your OP before a flame war erupted ;)

The updated ROM allows me to enable NFC, but I can't actually test out the Beam functionality until I get home tonight. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Howie Dub:
This was my step by step process to adding the % mod:

1. Open up the zip with the % mod you like in WinRAR. Press Control-A to select all files in the zip and Control-C to copy. Make sure you only copy the PNG files and nothing else.

2. Open up ROM in WinRAR, navigate to the SystemUI.apk, and open the apk in WinRAR. Opening up SystemUI.apk will open a new WinRAR window. Navigate to SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi folder. Click on one of the files in the folder to make sure you copy into the folder.

3. Press Control-V to paste. A window will pop up; make sure the update mode is "add and replace". The original zip you opened will have a pop up telling you the file was modified and if you want to put them into the archive. Click "yes".

4. Close up WinRAR and you should be good to go.

This is what worked for me, but as always, do at your own risk.

If you copy the PNGs directly into SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi without deleting any files in the folder, it will automatically replace the battery PNGs. The stock battery images are all labeled stat_sys_battery_1, stat_sys_battery_2, etc., so you will only be copying over those files and leaving the rest untouched. I did all this within WinRAR. My guess is that you could take the SystemUI.apk out of the ROM and replace the one in the flashable zip ljwnow created, replace the battery % images, have WinRAR update the zip and it should work. What I ended up doing was following pedmond's directions here and reflashed the ROM. Didn't wipe data, wiped cache, and flashed gapps. That kept the Navigation Bar and the Notification Power Widget mods intact. Haven't noticed anything else missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Howie Dub:
I think there is a conflict/bug with the My Verizon app on build 3. Not sure if I report it here. I kept getting an FC pop up for it on 3 and when I went to open it up, it said it could not open at this time, or something along those lines. I just flashed back to 2-2 and it's working again.

EDIT: Now it's working again on build 3. Thought I'd reflash it to see what happens and sure enough, it's working. Go figure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danchatson:
Stuck on Splash Screen?

Hey bigxie - I've been running Build 2 and downloaded Build 3 along with the GAPPS zip. I followed directions exactly:

...wipe cache and dalvik if coming from build 1 or later

Flash ROM file

Flash my GAPPs file immediately afterwards prior to rebooting.

and upon reboot, I can't seem to get past the animated splash screen. After about 10 minutes I pulled the battery, rebooted into Clockwork, and then did a full data wipe, cache, dalvik and reflashed Build 3. Rebooted and still cant seem to get past animated boot screen. Any idea? thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigxie:
please check the md5sum of your files tk make sure they match mine and are not corrupt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danchatson:
Ok, I'll download again to my PC (instead of direct to phone). Now I have a newbie question...how do I transfer them over to the phone? I normally transfer over once phone is up and just USB connect into mass storage...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
does this have USB HOST MODE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danchatson:
Not entirely sure...using GNex Toolkit right now to reload stock image and will just start over tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 06:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

Ok, so I'm sure there may have been an easier method, but doing the complete reload (using Gnex Toolkit) and then re-flashing. Back up on build 3 and will let you know how it performs!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
Thanks for this. I'll give it a try later. My real goal is to get familiar enough with all the files so I can make my own customization and eventually my own ROM. I'm still trying to figure out the difference between the SystemUI.apk and the Framework apk file. Alot of the instructions I found for modding the battery say to modify the framework file instead. I'm confused on what the differences is. I also don't get why different phones have different drawable-xxx folders. Is the folder path specified in the xml file or does it depend on resolution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfcab123:
Cannot get USB DEBUGGING to work.. as far as yeah it'll turn on.. but can get a device to show up in device manager ... after installing samsung drivers, trying 3 different cables and two different computers, and all ports available, rebooting phone multiple times and rebooting both pc's ... no dice.. any idea ?
