[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
does anyone actually use the airplane mode toggle or the ringer mode toggles on the power menu? i personally never do since i've got widgetsoid in the notification bar (and trying to make a mod that will put them in the notification bar permanently), so i've done a version of the power menu that removes them both. all it has (for now) is four options: power off, reboot, recovery, and bootloader. i'm working on adding screenshot too, but i haven't gotten it working yet.

also trying to perhaps add those options back in if the screen is locked, since you wouldn't be able to access the notification drawer in that case...thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Sure, if you want mix 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 files, you can do that. I haven't checked for sure, but I'd imagine that some our all of those apks were patched in the 4.0.4 update. I like to use all 4.0.4 files and change what is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
quick question for anyone who might have an idea and want to chime in...i've been fiddling around with the code trying to do the following:

- remove airplane mode and ringer toggles, add screenshot to power menu (i think i've got this one close, i've removed the AP mode and ringers just need to get the screenshot option in)

- enable 180 degree rotation

- add notification toggles

these are the three mods that would make this stock ROM the best with no need to even look anywhere else. the problem is that for the last two, i'm not sure which files i should even be looking at...can anyone help me out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamor414:
What is the easiest way to toggle data on and off? Any good widgets?:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cds36:
I use widgetsoid its not bad
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
So do I, but it has quirks that would be fixed if the toggles were in the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
Yea I hear you, I think I'm just going to wait until 4.0.4 source is out, and then all these mods like the t9 dialer will be able to be ported

then again, 4.0.5 is gonna be out soon, will 4.0.4 source ever be released?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
For the 180 deg rotation... the change would be in PhoneWindowManager.smali (or PhoneWindowManager<something>.smali) in the android.policy.jar...

Maybe this CM commit might help you... http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11310

Or you could try comparing it with the android.policy.jar from CM9...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I think there is a setting for 180 degree rotation in bools.xml in framework-res.apk res/values.

Dialer

guys

on the dialer, if you search for a person and dial the work number and if nobody picks up, you want to reach out to that person on the mobile no. However, when you go back to the dialer, you have to again find that person. I wish it stayed locked in that person's name like previous android versions

Anything in the ROM that can help out? Or is anybody using 3rd party dialers? This one isn't great

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam008:
Volume buttons

when I press the power button, it turns off the screen without locking it. However, the volume buttons work even with the screen turned off and accidentally change the vol on my phone. Is it possible to have only the power button working when screen is turned off?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
How did you get this into your notification bar dropdown ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
For a third party dialer try exdialer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cds36:
in the advanced setting for the app i believe there was a check box is you wanted it in notification bar pulldown
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
I think i figured it out !!

Edit : Ha ha, wow... Now I have 4.0.4 and the looks and feel that I want (thats the point right)... Got the drop down like I want it and the lockscreen to where it should be. Ty TY TY !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
What's your security settings for lockscreen? Also, if the clock app is running, power button does not lock... it just turns off the screen

Crossbreed?? this won't work with that... it will work on any "stock" 4.0.4 ROM...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
there appear to be two rotation based settings in there...not sure which one to change though.

<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">false</bool>

<bool name="config_reverseDefaultRotation">false</bool>

i guess i'll do some tinkering...

on a side note: is that where you enabled lock before unlock? i see the setting there, but in mine it's still set to false (even though i have the lock before unlock enabled)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I originally tried the lock before unlock after seeing it there, but it didn't do anything. I had to make a change in android.policy.jar (just changed a 1 to a 2 in ockPatternKeyguardView.smali).

I haven't tried messed with the rotations. I've been trying to figure out how to separate the ringtone and notification volumes, as that is something that I've been missing.

Also for anyone looking for toggles, I've had good luck with Notification Toggle. You can add custom apps and icons, along with the built-in toggles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
any one of these third party apps would be great for toggles, if we could get them to stay glued to the top of the notification bar. if i could do that, i'd even be ok with the extra icon...

the problem (for me, anyway) is the annoying glitch of how they keep moving everything around when you're downloading something...or any notification that constantly updates, for that matter. the updating one and the toggles keep bumping each other back and forth to the top of the ongoing list...

in general, i love widgetsoid - but the occasional instance of where i'm updating apps and trying to click on the notification for a text that comes in (which is damn near impossible with all the bouncing around) makes me want to throw my phone against the wall...

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

for the record, changing the two bools i mentioned earlier to true WORKED for enabling 180 degree rotation (and 270 degree, for that mater...not sure if that was already working) in apps. this is wonderful, since now i can set the phone in my cup holder in the jeep and actually play with the internet radio (since the usb and headphone ports are on the bottom)...

next question: any idea how to make the launcher rotate 180?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Yeah, that's the main reason I recommended Notification Toggle. The author of the app updated it so that it doesn't bounce around anymore during downloads. It will stay at the bottom until the download is finished like a normal notification and then go back to the top.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
i wonder if there's a way to inject one of these third party apps into systemui somehow to get them to stay up there permanently...might make things a bit easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dimsdale:
I don't know the answer, but that's a great idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
isn't this already in there? settings -> security -> automatically lock?

i'm not sure, but i think that does what he's asking...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] photolarry:
Thanks for Rooting , etc

This is bestest option for ROM since its 4.0.4 and based off OTA with minor mods to make it root friendly. Kudos to you for spending the time to do all this for us. I am sure I am not the only one that appreciates your efforts. No more flashing for me until 4.0.5 LOL :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miguel11691:
Took the words right out my mouth.... great rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Profondo_Rosso:
Alright so I searched for this, and couldn't really find exactly what I'm looking for.

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to 4g? Once in awhile I'll reboot, and it'll connect to 4G for a few minutes before switching back to 3G. I never get 4G without a reboot however.

Other than that, this is the best rom I've used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
Could be your area, or you could put on a toggle widget and go from wifi to data network.....

I have been using Widgetsoid and it's awesome and you can set that up in your notification pull down....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davin8r:
Yeah I have the same problem, and it's very frustrating because the volume buttons often get pressed accidentally when I put my phone in my pocket. I have screen lock set to "None" and would like the screen to turn on *only* when power button is pressed (as in stock 4.02). Anybody have a solution? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miguel11691:
Check out the battery I'm getting will the rom and the lean kernel... its on the standard battery...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
yup this is what im getting, but it's about 36 percent because i have that 2150mA battery in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miguel11691:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
Good battery stats bro... I love this phone !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
What's your screen on time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
ok, here's the extended power menu i came up with. it is based off of mwalt2's version that added the correct images for the power menu - i added in the correct text labels for all the options (i.e. when you reboot your phone it says "your phone will reboot" and "rebooting" rather than "your phone will shut down" and "shutting down"). text should be correct for all options, including recovery and bootloader.

this will also include native tethering and lockbeforeunlock...credit is given to both mwalt2 and craigacgomez inside the update script.

quick disclaimer: this is my first ever update.zip. i did test it on my phone and it worked, but i'm not responsible if you mess up your own phone using it. make a nandroid backup before flashing! if one of the experts wants to take a quick look to check my work, please feel free and let me know if you found any errors...

edit: added version without lockbeforeunlock mod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
Thank you sir !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
Fantastic work... looks good... unfortunately, I don't have any way to test it right now... will add it to the OP if others have no problems with it...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
Same here. No problems at all. Nice job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cds36:
Nice work ... can we get it without the lock before unlock tho ? Just dont need a added step to get to main screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
i'll give that a shot, let me see what i can come up with. i might be able to do that rather quickly actually...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:

Mobile Network sleep

Alright guys, I'm new to the G-Nex and I don't know if this is happening or not. When I was on the Evo, there was a setting in the Mobile Network settings that you checked a box to "Enable Mobile Network Always On." I always had this box unchecked, as it saved me lots of battery life due to the bomb shelter type walls where I work (Military, building was built in the 40s), unless I was out driving listening to streamed music, then I would enable mobile network always on. When this box was unchecked, the mobile network would go to sleep after a set time (I think when the phone went to sleep), saving battery life.

Maybe I'm missing something, because, sadly, I was getting better battery life on my Evo (I know, that's sad) than I am on G-Nex. I have tried turning off the mobile network, but then I don't get push notifications, which I did get on the Evo when the mobile network was sleeping. Please help!

"You will need to flash an (open-source) PDroid patch. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357056 for download and more info. Currently only supports Gingerbread (more to come)."

Volume keys

hi there

is there a way to avoid the volume keys from waking up the screen? Somehow, the power button never accidentally gets pressed in my pocket but the volume keys often do and sometimes I take out my phone only to see the volume is silent

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ltredbeard:
my volume keys dont wake up the screen...what mods did you flash?

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

i tried searching this thread and the development forum, but i couldnt find the answer so i decided to ask

what does the lock before unlock mod do.

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HuskerWebhead:
I'm running the APEX ROM 1.0.2, so I assume I need to do a full wipe before flashing this ROM. Is there A GAPPS I need to install post flash, or will any do? Also, if I do the radio/bootloader upgrade and decide to restore from a previous Nandroid backup, will that cause any problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
It lets you have the slide to unlock in combination with pin or pattern lock. This gives you quick access to the camera if you use a secure lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
Well, the 4.0.4 source is up in AOSP... we should see some it merged into major ROMs soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
I am still hopeful that myself or someone else will get the toggles and some other stuff into this rom. It'd be nice to have the option to be pretty much stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
And hopefully you will lend your 404 expertise?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drootz!:
Does the same/original undo method still apply for this new revision to the enhanced power menu options with tethering hack?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
here's one to enable 180 degree (and 270 degree) rotation...

note: this uses a slightly modified version of the framework-res.apk from my enhanced power menu w/ native tethering and lock before unlock. it should work just fine though if you don't have that mod installed, but make a backup first just in case there are issues (and if anyone has any issues, please let me know)...

it should also work fine if you have the enhanced power menu w/o lock before unlock. again though, backup first and let me know if there are problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomyboombotz:
Does any have any info on how to remove the on screen keys in this rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
What on screen keys? Are you talking about the navigation bar (back, home, recent)? If you, you can find a modified 4.0.4 framework-res.apk in the full screen mod thread in the galaxy nexus software forum by me or you can simply add the following to your build.prop and reboot (easier and lets you keep any mods in framework-res.apk).

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Thanks a lot crackers8199. :)

Possible to make this same version without lock-before-unlock mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
You should be able to use it even without lockbeforeunlock...like I said, backup first and let me know if there are any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slackwaresupport:
so.. how are you guys liking this ROM? fast? hows the battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
battery life (for me anyway) on stock kernel is outstanding...recently i even started leaving the 4g radio turned on, since our area is supposed to get 4g soon, and i'm still getting over a full day of charge. sometimes i don't even need to plug it in at night...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slackwaresupport:
are you running anything in the background? i know the google stuff.. facebook? any other mail, etc..??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cds36:
Best Battery life for me with this rom im using leankernel 2.7.2 can easily go the whole day. While aokp and other roms offer more features i just couldn't get my battery life near what im getting now.

I run gps, googles location service, 4g, gmail, calendars, music, google+, tango, chrome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
Does anyone know what the difference between this version of 4.0.4 that we are running now and the new 4.0.4 that is being merged into other roms?

K9 push mail enabled, facebook is installed but notifications turned off. Widgetsoid...nothing really crazy. just the usual stuff. zynga games, draw something, etc...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SwampNutz:
Nice job! I just finished installing the ROM and a few of the tweaks. ZERO issues so far. The real test is the commute to work, I have to travel from Staten Island to NYC via New Jersey Turnpike. I normally get good speeds over LTE while in motion but some areas especially near the tolls can get a bit slow. So far I get better 4G connectivity in my house since the update so there is definitely an improvement and the phone overall feels a bit snappier. I haven't browsed with it yet though, it's late and I'm tired. Should I go for Google Chrome or stick with Dolphin? I don't hear many people talking about Chrome and the last version I tried was the first release and it didn't knock my socks off, I actually had problems with it. Anyway, thanks for this ROM, I'm so sick of device manufacturers and Verizon f'ing me when it comes to device updates. Hopefully I won't have to deal with the spontaneous reboots anymore!

PS have a couple beers on me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SwampNutz:
So far using the stock browser is pretty nice. Just finished browsing a bunch of sites while travelling over the gothals bridge, nj turnpike, and the Lincoln tunnel with no drops in service except in the tunnel for about 30 seconds waiting for 4g to switch to 3g. That last bit was pretty amazing. The 4.0.2 rom would almost never change and when it did I couldn't browse even though I had a signal. Wow everything is so much smoother now. The keyboard isn't laggy any longer! With apps running I can flip around the interface, jump in and out of settings or the notification drop down without things getting choppy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jamor414:
What are the benefits of the native tethering zip as opposed to using something like foxfi or wifitether besides having convenience of built-in-tethering.

More specifically, if you just rooted and used foxfi or wifitether, is it easier for Verizon to detect? Or is using the included ZIP just as detectable as foxfi and wifitether?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
If you root your Gnex, it takes your verizon apps info away..... And you do it this way shown in the op, you won't mess with the verizon apks permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
Huh? Rooting doesn't remove any apps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
I didn't say it removes apps... I said it removes the info and the permissions so the apk doesn't function correctly.

READ !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
No need to get angry...while i still don't understand what you're saying, its no biggie...I don't want to start an argument. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
Just answering your questions. Go read a book they show no emotions back to you and they won't turn green on ya.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Rooting does nothing to "take your verizon apps info away". If you're specifically talking about flashing the native tethering .zip, it deletes 1 apk from /system/app and modifies one file in /system/framework. Rooting is nothing other than adding the superuser.apk to /system/app and the su binary to either /system/bin or system/xbin. There are no permissions involved with getting the tethering to work as google designed it for AOSP with no carrier restrictions. You just remove an apk and modify 2 or 3 lines of an xml that reference the said apk. You can see for yourself by looking at the updater.script inside of the flashable .zip and decompiling the modified framework file to compare with a stock verizon version.

I don't understand what you are trying to convey and you don't sound like you really know what you're talking about, but it's certainly no case to be rude (especially if you don't understand how the native tethering 'hack' even works).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
Dude really... I have been reading this stuff since my mytouch... I know what i'm talking about....

The verizon app that gives you your info for how much data you have used for example, doesn't work when I rooted my gnex so i went back to this. And wow !!! I'm not 12 years old (Like Most of the antsy ones around) and or a noob at this stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
I'm not sure what you did, but the myverizon app (I guess that's what you're talking about?) Works just fine for me and always has. Even on stock immediately after I rooted on the day I got the phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I did not say you were 12. You sounded like you were talking down to crackers. This rom is rooted and myverizon works just fine. I built the new 4.0.4 from source and also have it rooted and myverizon working just fine as well . If it didn't work for you on some other custom rom, it's because things were left out for myverizon to work....not because of root. From what you are typing, it doesn't sound like you know what you are talking about. There's no need to be defensive, no one here is trying to attack you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
