Damn fine job for a noob. Thanks for all of your efforts. This rom is amazing. I got killer battery life today on a field assignment. That's all battery, 4g 3g 1x no signal in and out, about 10 calls, facebook, a few texts, 12 hours and counting with 25 percent left. using imos 1.9 on ix otherwise stock 404.

Anyone know what version of gapps is included in this ROM?

In installed the ROM (working very well, BTW!) and noted that I then had gmail 4.0.4 - 257829. This ROM was posted around Feb. 5.

Then I saw there was a possibly newer version of gapps available on http://goo-inside.me/gapps/. Specifically: gapps-ics-20120212-signed.zip I believe that would be a Feb. 12 build. There was also a Feb. 7 build.

After installing the gapps-ics-20120212, my gmail version is now 4.0.4 - 255454. So it would seem to have gone down in version number. Why would a seemingly newer gapps have a lower version number?

Can anyone explain if I actually dowgraded? Should I re-flash the ROM?

Thanks!

Just download Widgetsoid, its highly customizeable, I love that tether works flawlessly. Here is my setup, the possibilities are endless.

Sorry forgot to attach image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
The GApps package you are looking at was built from the 4.0.4 ROM...probably from the leaked Nexus S 4G ROM)... but it is almost same as the ones included in this ROM... the GN 4.0.4 ROM has the latest available GApps AFAIK...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Is there setting to have Widgetsoid close the notification window after pressing a selection (like brightness bar or the reboot menu)? I tried setting it up, but it would pop up the window (ie - the reboot, recovery, bootloader, etc. window) behind the notification window so that you have to swipe up before choosing what you want. It's a small thing, but bothered me :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] white2003:
I wish. That bothers me also. Since ICS I only use Widgetsoid for toggle buttons that don't launch apps. I use SwipePad for quick call contacts and apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
sorry if i have missed this, but is there a flashable zip for long press back kill app? if not, could someone build one, id be really grateful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] white2003:
They just fixed this in todays update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
Any idea why when I try to install the mms apk it says it installation failed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] white2003:
Are you on a deodexed ROM? Also did you follow the below steps?

Stop your current Messaging app by going under Settings > Apps > "All" tab.

Find Messaging, open, "Force Stop".

Use Root Explorer or another app to delete or rename MMS.apk located in /system/app.

Then replace it with the MMS.apk from the link above.

That is in the first post in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490910

Edit: Just did this and the above steps worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
****, no. I will now. Thanks

I downloaded their new version and still doesn't work, I wonder if its because were on 4.0.4?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Icey34:
How is the 4G signal on this ROM, anyone willing to reply? Thanks! :) And is it quicker than stock 4.0.4? Not sure what zip aligned and deodoxed means.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
Yeah that's what I'm referring to, thanks for the effort! I'll try that widgetsoid but I'm really going to miss my LTE toggle as it's what I use most :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
4g signal is better than any other rom i have used. This room is stock 404, just deodexed. Google deodex for a good explanation, but think of it as optimized for customization.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] white2003:
That is strange. I am on 4.0.4 with this ROM. Widgetsoid released two updates yesterday. It worked after each update for me. I am on the paid version. Not sure why that would make a difference. Did you try other apps? I have the notification volume and cut the rope in there and they work. My other buttons are toggles.

edit: I just tried the reboot button in my bar and it brings up the options behind. So I guess just some work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crankerchick:
Does anyone know why this ROM doesn't include the stock kernal? Anything else not stock that we don't know about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
I full wiped as well. You must have been .10 before then because im not the only one that stayed.09
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luvtorev:
So by flashing this rom you are also updating the radios that comes with 4.04 correct?

What happens if you flash this and for some reason decide to go back to a nandroid backup, will that bring you back to the old radios?

I just wanted to clarify this. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
Nandroid backups do not include the radio. If you decide to go back, you can separately flash the 4.0.3 or 4.0.2 radios
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FruitBowlMafia:
4.0.4 Radios

Is there anyone who has a flashable zip for only the 4.0.4 Radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tikerz:
Yes.

I'd rather have the stock kernal too man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
Guess I didn't see the kernel properly... and it was quite late... will have an patch and updated zip soon... sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceredics:
Your fine lol just post the stock kernal zip :) we would appreciate it, then we can compare p3s to what Google gave us. I'd rather just have this 100% stock with stock kernal. I think others can +1 that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crankerchick:
Yeah no problem just was wondering where to get the stock kernal to compare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] holmes6:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KERNAL

This article is about Commodore's 8-bit OS software. Kernal is also a common misspelling of kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
Has anyone tried this 4.0.4 from 4.0.3 successfully? If so, what steps did you take?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moonzilla:
stock kernel?

noticed that the OP states "stock kernel". Has the zip actually been updated to use the stock kernel or is the OP not accurate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gharris040604:
Nandroid, wipe and flash away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dw3bb10:
Rooted my GF's GN. Currently on stock 4.0.2 rom, didnt flash anything. Will I have to wipe data in order to flash this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arte Suave:
Anyone have a mirror for this? Im looking at 3 hours to dl right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gharris040604:

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

does the current zip in the OP use the stock kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheami:
Would also like to know this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Still looks like p3 but it runs fine. I haven't been able to find the stock kernel zip anywhere but I am sure once he gets some sleep he will update it. I really don't see much difference from the unrooted stock kernel though. So I am not sure how they differ.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kylebarendrick:
I've really been loving this ROM and have been running it since you first posted it. Thank you for your hard work and responsiveness to people!

Is there any chance you could generate a mod to eliminate the soft keys similar to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
Been watching this thread for a while now, wanting to make sure everything was stable before jumping in. Did the install this morning, everything seems to have gone perfect. no noticeable issues. I'm not near a 4G tower here at home, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to compare/confirm everything works there.

Thanks craigacgomez for the hard work.

I did a nandroid

I booted into CWM

I cleared Dalvik, and cache

I flashed:

- Rooted,De-odexed,Zip-aligned ROM With Stock Insecure Boot Image And New Radios & Bootloader

- Native Tethering Hack

- Enhanced Power Menu With Native Tethering

All good so far!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
I just installed this and it's almost perfect.. Just wish the 4G toggle actually toggled cdma/lte instead of taking me to the screen to manually change it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
That won't work on any 3rd party apps... only apps signed with the system signature (i.e., "android:sharedUserId=android.uid.system") will be able to toggle CDMA/LTE... same thing with GPS... basically the app needs "system" user privileges to allow these toggles...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
It looks like you can do this yourself pretty easily. Decompile framework, edit, recompile, push. Add external buttons.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Any way to get mod to add a soft key for a menu button and a search button in addition to the 3 stock soft keys?

It was an option in another Rom I tried and having a menu button on the bottom just made sense...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] il buono:
Eman what the hell you doing here :p Did you leave the E4GT? sorry for not answering the question though haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilogik:
I'm looking for the exact same thing, if I am not mistaken it was a feature of one of the launchers floating around?

On another note, since installing this ROM my phone rebooted itself 4 times in a 24 hour period. I have never had this problem before, and have not really had a chance to install any 3rd party apps yet so its pretty much bare bones.

Could it be the new radios causing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Ha, I said goodbye to Sprint after 15 years with them. They didn't even try to keep me! My wife kept her Sprint line though so I am still connected.

Made the switch a day ago. Hated the GN the first few hours but it has grown on me now. Think I might stick around...

1thing I noticed about Verizon after 1day and 2 calls to them is they have some of the dumbest reps I have ever spoken to. They make Sprint reps look like geniuses!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] il buono:
15 yrs?! Dang. I'm not really a fan of quadrant scores but when I first got the GN I ran it next to the E4GT just to see and was surprised at the big difference. However, from the daily usage you wouldn't even notice it since it's so smooth.

How's the stock experience of this rom? I have yet to flash it but might give it a try later on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_10:
i may have found an issue.

i came from stock rooted 4.0.2. i wipe both cache and wiped data. everything works fine except gps. i can't get a lock and gps status tool app fc's when i try to reset a-gps. it's done this 3 times.

anyone else having issues with gps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orion2001:
Nope, no issues with GPS. I switched from stock rooted 4.0.2 as well, and everything has been working like a charm. I've used the GPS multiple times with near instant locks onto location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] typo13:
bootloop

This is the second time this happened to me, this time after installing Darth Maul me app. After installing the app it crashed and rebooted my phone and it just boot loops. This happened like a week ago while installing chrome. Trying to restore the latest back up hoping i don't have to do a factory wipe.

Any ideas what could be causing this? I have a bunch of mods but all from this thread so i think there all compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Is there a step Im missing with the Facebook contact sync? I followed it exactly as written in the OP and the option is there now in the app and accounts to sync all or existing contacts but nothing is showing up in my People app. I've waited and unchecked/rechecked in accounts but it still shows 0 contacts linked to fb - dont know what the issue is or if this just doesnt work? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yeah, the GN after a days use seems just as snappy as the E4GT even though we know the E4GT has the better specs...I am definitely most upset with the camera though. Low light pics just come out way grainy...

One thing I was surprised at was how large the icons were for a 720p screen compared to my E4GT running at a 720p resolution. It just seemed like a waste of space especially with the bottom on screen buttons. Changing the density to 241 changed that right up and offers such a better experience on the GN now.

I ran gummy's ROM part of yesterday and it had really cool features but I wanted to run stock for a while while I am testing for my 14 days. I want to make sure the ROM doesn't play a part of my experience w/ Verizon as well as the device itself. If it runs good on stock I know it can only get better...

I am running the tweaker in terminal emulator and choosing option 5. It thenm says it can't create the build.prop file and a bunch of other lines are saying read only at the end of them.

Don't think it is actually taking? Any help please....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
I think the script might have errors, but an easy fix I found was to just open up [your root explorer app] and make sure it has -rw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howetechnical:
Do you mean to make sure the file system is mounted as rw instead of ro, or to change the permissions on the associated folder to rw for all three attributes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
The former. As long as the file system is rw, then the scripts will run. If you run the scripts alone, it is unable to write. Since the script appeared to be unable to get rw, I just opened up my file explorer app before running the shell commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howetechnical:
I'll give that a try, thanks. Though by logging into terminal emulator as su should give it full access, if it's anything like Linux. Maybe in that regard, it doesn't give the su account full rw access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
That's what I thought too, but using terminal emulator gave me the same read only errors as the guy a few posts back was posting about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
Well, the tweaker script calls the script sysrw... another script which remounts system as rw... so it should work fine...

Did you flash the busybox fix (which is a separate zip in the OP)?? it could be a problem with the busybox which was included in the main ROM zip

I will try and put in some more "error" handling...

In the mean time, in the terminal/adb shell (as root),

# sysrw
# mount | grep "/system" | grep "rw"

if you see something like '/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system /system ext4 rw', then the tweaker script should work fine... else, make sure you have the busybox fix, or reboot and try again...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlambeth1:
Thanks for the Busybox fix suggestion. I was having the same problems until I installed the fix. Now, the commands run just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
I had previously flashed the busybox fix, but then I updated busybox through the app. Does this "un-fix" busybox?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjohns63:
The sysrw script is actually the same as sysro

Change the ro to rw in sysrw and it works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howetechnical:
I wish the suggestions worked, but I had already flashed the busybox fix before. I did it again just to make sure, same thing. If I use tweaker utility 1 or 3 (only one's I've tried), I get read only issues and files not found (such as with the resolv.conf file).

I already flashed tweaker, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afguy0127:
Good catch! I made this change, and I didn't get any more errors after I ran the script.

Ok, let me see if I can help. It's fairly easy to do actually. You can make the change either on PC or on the phone. Open up the tweaker.zip file, click on "system", then "xbin", and then open up "sysrw" with a text editor. You'll see a line that says:

#!/system/bin/bash

mount -o remount,ro /system

On that line, simply change "ro" to "rw". The script is forcing the file system to be written as read-only, so no matter what is flashed, it still won't work. After that, save it, and you can close out of everything. Then just re-flash the script, and you should be good. Hope that helps!

Ok, not trying to be a post whore, but since I can finally post in here now, I just wanted to say thanks so much craigacgomez for this rom. I had an OG Droid before this that I never flashed right up until I got my Gnex. Since I discovered it, I've been flashing all kinds of things (already addicted), and I keep coming back to this rom. Thank you very much for all the hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trsneed:
I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work. I dropped my Att unlimited plan of 5 years two days ago and jumped on the Verizon bandwagon, after being harassed for three straight months for daring to use 1.75 gb of data. This ROM is great and I am really glad to have Facebook contacts in my phone again. Google and Facebook need to get over it and provide the vest product for the customer, not just themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenotek:
Same here. I was able to get above 20 up and down, now I get truly pathetic speeds. Also, the hack to get native tethering to work is even slower and usually causes the phone to reboot after I turn it off. On USB tethering I get about maybe 1 Mbit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dimsdale:
Not sure what you mean about the slower speeds. I'm running this ROM plus the 404 radios and I'm getting great speeds on 4G. Easily 20-30Mbit down.

Are you saying you are getting slow tether or slow everything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
Would I be able to grab the dialer from AOKP and push it to this so I can have t9 dialing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] howetechnical:
Grab exDialer from the market. It's free, has skins you can download (i use the dark one), and is amazing. Best dialer I've ever used. Has t9 too.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Thanks, worked great. I didn't know in the previous post that sysrw was the actual name of the file in the zip archive *smacks forehead*. I guess I'm due some slack, my baby is teething and has been draining my energy for days. Hah.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Is a data wipe/factory reset required coming from IMM30B 4.0.4 stock/rooted (the Team Black Hat one)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsxtypes72:
No not if coming from stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Have there been any updates to this ROM since it dropped? Or is it still the initial build?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dboftlp:
This is the initial stable release. There are separate threads for nightly builds were the most updated code is dropped every night, however they may or may not be stable or as stable as those in the OP. Read, research, backup & user beware. It's your responsibility, it's your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
Does anyone know why when I loaded the ROM up, the media/media server was running constantly? I mean from a reboot and cache wipe, it was running the instant the phone was turned on. It was draining my battery. I installed it over my 4.0.2 stock ROM. This is the first ROM I've tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
I don't have that issue I would suggest doing a full wipe and install fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
This is a ROM based on the stock ROM... not a custom built ROM from AOSP... There are and will be no updates to the base ROM until Google/Samsung release a new version... the only changes will be mods which can be applied over the base...

There are no nightlies for 4.0.4 ROMs since the 4.0.4 source is not yet in AOSP...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Noob question

I haven't seen this asked yet so hopefully it can add to an AWESOME thread (thanks Craig!)

New to rooting so three (hopefully) quick questions

1) If I do this, can I go back to completely stock if needed for sending the phone back?

2) I was thinking of using the WugFresh tools and instructions found here http://theunlockr.com/2012/01/26/ho...-nexus-one-click-method-lte-and-gsm-versions/ to root... is that a good method or does anyone suggest a better easier method for the noob?

3) And again... after rooting I was going to use the instructions found here http://theunlockr.com/2011/12/14/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-samsung-galaxy-nexus/ for installing the new ROM... or do you know of a better easier method?

I am an IT worker and very comfortable with tech but totally new to this and I do not come from a coding/dev back ground so I really want to find a smooth step by step to keep from screwing anything up.

Thank you in advance for your replies/suggestions... looking forward to learning and adding some new good stuff to the sig :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsxtypes72:

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vorpals:
I hate to go off-topic, but how did you get those drop-down toggles? Is that an app? part of a non-stock launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
You didn't wipe before installing, did you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
You missed step 3 of the installation instructions... you are pretty close to have a ROM that is going to crash on you every so often...

3. Wipe data/factory reset required if coming from any ROM other than a stock 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gwshearer:
I don't have a photographic memory, but I could have SWORN I did. I had to redownload/install all my apps and everything. Google sign-in and the works.
