[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KillerQ:
Hey all,

I have a question - I think I am all set, but I wanted to check....

1) I started with a STOCK, UNROOTED and LOCKED Verizon Galaxy Nexus that was on ICS 4.0.2. I didn't want to wait for the 'official' 4.0.4 update to be pushed, so a few days ago i used a method to update the phone to 4.0.4 IMM76K without rooting and without unlocking. That worked perfectly.

2) I got bored, and wanted to install a custom ROM, so I used Wug's Tool 1.3 to unlock and root the phone. The bootloader is unlocked, however I seemed to have lost root. I expected this, so i used fastboot to push CWM touch beta and then flash an updated SU.zip. That went fine, I now have 4.0.4 unlocked and rooted.. I made a backup via CWM for good measure.

3) I changed my mind about installing a Custom ROM (like M5, or CM) and figured I would just this threads IMM76L rooted image. But then I realized that's pretty much where I already ended up after following through with all the above steps I just mentioned.

4) Is that correct? Or is the zipalign and dodexed stuff not in my current stock, rooted ROM situation. Actually, now that I say that, i am pretty sure those extra goodies are worth it.

I should still flash this thread's ROM for that stuff, eh? One other question, if i DID, i would need to RE-APPLY the radios even though I currently have them - correct?

*Edit* i just installed Franco's newest stable kernel (Milestone3) to this above setup, and it boosted my signal by 2 bars in every room..... just saying.

Thanks a ton in advance,

Matt!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ltredbeard:
Nope, this ROM doesn't include radios, so you would be good to go (assuming you upgraded them when you updated to 4.0.4).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KillerQ:
Thanks....so, those differences between the ROMS do exist as far as tweaks go

, and I should flash now before inset my current one up too much then, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
Cleared caches .... reflashed stock kernel only and that worked for sec.... don't know what's up.

Question about CWM

Hello, I just installed this ROM today and had a question about having cwm flashed via ROM Manager.

I came from the 4.0.2 stock, locked, and unrooted and used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to unlock the bootloader and root. Also, I used the toolkit to flash clockword mod touch recovery. Then I went to the Play store, installed SuperSU, and the paid version of Titanium Backup and ROM Manager. After that, I booted into cwm recovery from within ROM Manager, installed the new IMM76K Radios, rebooted, and then installed this rooted deodexed 4.0.4 ROM without a hitch.

Now all I want to do is make a backup through ROM Manager, but when I click "Backup current ROM", it comes up with a message saying that cwm is not flashed and thus it won't let me backup from within ROM Manager (but I booted into CWM touch and installed the battery mods etc and they all are working fine), so basically it is as if ROM Manager does not see that the phone has the cwm touch recovery installed and wont let me backup, even though with the Power Menu mod and from within ROM Manager itself, I am able to boot into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
through the toolkit only... fastboot then let the tool put ya in recovery then backup from there... i have the same question as well... but i need a computer anytime i need to reboot into recovery....

crash
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TauxiC:
It is my dad's phone and he says he was able to now make a backup using ROM Manager to do it, he said it took about 5min or so and now it shows up in the list when you go to "Manage or restore backups" in ROM manager, so I guess he got it working?

I have a rooted Thunderbolt so today was my first time messing around with the Galaxy Nexus, and it was a little bit different of course, since I always flash my radios by renaming them to pg05img.zip and then booting into the bootloader vs doing it in recovery with the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alephnaut:
Nevermind. I blew away the adblock section of etc/hosts. Ads restored :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisngrod:
I flashed the ROM the second time and let it boot. After the system was stable, I booted back into recovery and flashed the native tethering zip.

Thanks to the dev for posting up your work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Is there an easy to remove the lock before unlock? I just don't like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Flash the version without lock before unlock. It's right above the version with it I believe. :-)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
That worked perfectly. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elegantscorpio:
Quick and Easy

I installed this ROM from IMM30B. Cleared cache and dalvik cache. Installed it via CWM. Working well without any issues.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sangosnip69:
Hi, how have you deodex your rom ( 4.0.4 ) ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I used baksmali and smali to manually do each one. I'm sure one could right a script for it, but I didn't know how :).

java -jar baksmali.jar -x name.odex -o classout

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex

After running those two commands, you just put the classes.dex into the apk. Some of them needed additional arguments in the command (like bluetooth) and I just found them by searching xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brightsideme:
uh help

I have the older 4.0.4, I have to go back to 4.0.2, how do I do that? I am a newb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nam3less:
You shouldn't have to. This rom isn't the Over the Air update.

When IMM76K first leaked, you had to downgrade to 4.0.2 in order to install the radios. You should be able to just flash over your radios and rom (wipe data, cache's, flash this rom and radios).

If you want to be extremely anal about it, then do this:

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/05/01/download-galaxy-nexus-4-0-4-build-imm76k/

I am just assuming you are using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit. If so, read through the toolkit thread. It'll tell you exactly how you can go back to completely stock. Then flash away.

Again, you shouldn't have to do any of that. Just flash away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitewallman:
Thank you!

One quick question about these mods.. Are there any "undo" zips for these if I prefer the simple shutdown menu, or is a system backup/restore my only option?

Thanks again.

Enhanced Power Menu With Native Tethering MD5: f0758cb3b43c0e69d440728eb7ed72fc - Enhanced power menu with correct icons and confirmation text - Includes the native tethering hack - Mod created by crackers8199 - DOWNLOAD-----Mirror

Enhanced Power Menu, Native Tethering, and Lock Before Unlock MD5: fc829b0519a4808ff04b94ae49ded49ad - Same as above - Lock Before Unlock allows use of the slide-to-lock in conjunction with a secure lock. Allows for fast access to camera once unlocked. - DOWNLOAD-----Mirror
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
No I didn't bother making undo .zips. It was too much of a waste of time to do it and upload them and put links in everywhere IMO. .zips are easy to open on any computer system or even your phone.

Open the mod .zip and see what's inside of the system folder. Once you know what .apk's or .jar's are modified, just pull those apk's or jar's from the original IMM76K rom .zip and replace the ones in the mod zip. Then you have your undo zip :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitewallman:
Excellent! Thanks for your work and quick response!

Oh.. do we wipe dalvik and cache when flashing these mods?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsxtypes72:
no
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
can this: Enhanced Power Menu, Native Tethering, and Lock Before Unlock

be ported over to the sprint atock 4.0.4 version?

this has everything i need!

willing to donate!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
Probably, but I don't have a sprint phone to test it with...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
Finally flashed this last night over 30b...only wiped cache and dalvik and running fine so far.

Phone definitely seems faster, and battery seems a bit better. Could be placebo, but very happy so far...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notoriousB:
just got my nexus yesterday and loaded this rom up last night, running great so far, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hki_peter:
This ROM can install and use on Galaxy Nexus GSM phone ?????

What is different on IMM76K kernel ? what is change on it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juanzr1:
Does this ROM include the stock wallpapers? If so, can someone point me to the right direction, I'm having trouble finding them

Edit: found them integrated in launcher 2 apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
When you do a long press screen - Wallpapers - Wallpapers, aren't they the stock 4.0.4 wallpapers for the VZW GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
mwalt2...

Thanks so much for doing this. I have been having all kinds of inherrent problems with my Galaxy Nexus since I purshased it in January. I've tried different ROM's, upraded radios, all to no avail. So now that IMM76K is out, all I want on my phone is the latest kernel, software, and radios from VZW, with just a few nice mods (so I won't miss AOKP for now). Assuming that what you have done here (and in the Radio file thread) is to provide EXACLTY what VZW is pushing OTA, your work fills this need wonderfully. And SO much easier than flashing back to stock and waiting for the OTA update, then re-rooting.

Coming from AOKP, I did a couple of factory resets, and wiped cache, and Devlak cache before flashing this (and the new radios) with CWM. So far my GN is performing flawlessly - not a single bug (that wasn't there before), and I can already tell that the phone is a better phone.

Can't really say that the signal strength is any greater than before, but if the new radios do away with the "one-sided call" issue, I'll be a happy GN owner.

Update... Just read over on the Goggle Support Thread that covers this isse, that the new radios have apparently NOT fixed "one way call" issue that so many of us have. Guess we're back to square one on that issue. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zanktank:
Came from craiggomez's build of IMM30B with the tethering and facebook mods. Did a simple zip install through clockworkmod and it worked well. I also seemed to have retained my tethering and facebook mods but I reflashed tethering anyways. I then flashed radio's and the old battery mod (you keep the battery shaped indicator but it adds a value). I checked the signal strength before IMM76K, after the flash, and finally after the new radios.

One thing that happened that never has before was that dropbox asked me if I wanted to auto-upload photos from my phone whenever connected via usb (not sure if this is a result of the update).

The one issue i'm hoping this update might clear up is the bluetooth lag. When i play audio through bluetooth while watching a movie, it lags roughly a second behind the video. Same with changing songs via bluetooth etc.

Will report back tomorrow with results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
The dropbox feature is because of the updated dropbox app and not the ROM. I don't use bluetooth, so can't be much help there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zanktank:
Yeah I figured it was the app and not the ROM, just didn't remember updating the app. As for the bluetooth, it did not fix it. However, everything else is working perfectly so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rilasis:
Can you please post a link to where you got this battery mod? Having trouble finding it. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zanktank:
This is the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481613

And its called the Percentage Battery Mod With Stock Softkeys. I believe it's link is: http://www.mediafire.com/?a5lxk3f8z8qgo85
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loraque:
Also reading that same thread. There is a remote chance that a factory reset in conjunction with the update (not the radios, I had done that previously for no joy) is required. One of the most recent posters got that spiel from VZ and is trying it. I also flashed this on the wife's Gnex after doing a factory reset from Recovery.

REALLY hoping this issue gets resolved, or I will have to move the wife to a new phone and I might have to go with for support reasons. Practicing my sad face.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CBX133:
Friend of mine is on stock rooted 4.0.2 and has been receiving the update notice. What would be the best way to upgrade to this rom. Or is there a better way you guys know to upgrade to 4.0.4 without having to wipe everything and just re rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
Great success!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robin M:
If he is already rooted, I would simply install this rom with CWM. It is exactly the same as the official OTA update, except it has no radios and it is rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, etc. Then I would install the latest IMM76K radios files (also with CWM) that are referenced in the OP here.

However, I WOULD NOT try to get away without wiping everything. I'd wipe data, cache, and Devlak cache. Otherwise, what's the point? If you don't do that you won't know if there is something else on the phone that is interferring with the VZW changes, so testing the update will be compromised. Also see the post immediately above yours which seems to imply that a "factory reset" is recommended even with the offical OTA verizon update.

Since your friend is rooted, he should simply back up all his non-system apps and app data with Titanium BU before updating the phone. Then restoring everything is not that big a deal.

FWIW, I did exactly as I suggested in this message, including wiping data twice before installing this update. It's too early to tell for sure if the majority of communication errors have been resolved, but I did it six days ago and I have not experieced the one-way-voice issue yet. And signal strength seems to have improved slightly (although still not as good as my Motorola Droid X2).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumperalex:
So what are the chances of getting this rom (read minimal deviation from stock) with linaro implemented?

GNex Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Zero :-). This rom was dumped, not compiled. If IMM76K is on AOSP, then someone could compile it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumperalex:
Well it was surely deodexed, rooted etc ... but i guess if that doesn't require a recompile then my question is: Where is there a mostly stock ROM compiled with linaro mods?? I'm not really looking for a customized rom like most are. Perhaps then AOSP is what I should go for [shrug]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitewallman:
This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.

Would there be any advantages to using a custom kernel such as Franco with stock rooted?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
The kernel should work the same as it does on any custom rom. You may need an app like setcpu to overclock, change the governor, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Those things do require that you build from source. I'd imagine linaro tweaks do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitewallman:
Thanks for such a quick reply and your work on this rom.

have you tried different kernels personally? What's your recommendation?

Part of me says if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brightsideme:
still need help

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/1...the-bootloader-and-return-to-a-factory-state/ I am stuck on the second step. just says device not found on the command screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I just use the stock kernel. Custom ones are nice if you need since of those features, but I believe Samsung and google know how to write a better kernel than anyone here :-).

You need to install the drivers for your phone and restart your computer. The toolkits have drivers in them or you can install pdanet to get them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
Hi guys, i got around to flashing this stock rom again and got it running so smoothly and exactly how i like it setup... but my only issue is that when i went to make a call with the standard phone app i heard on and off loud static and hiss noises that almost blew my eardrum, so it sounds like the calling portion of the app is corrupt. The calls are actually going through its just that i cant hear the other party (i left a test voicemail).

My earpiece/mic is not broken because other phone apps like groove ip are 100% perfect.

Just wondering if anyone has had experience or if im really going to have to reflash alllllll over again -_____-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You can check the md5 of the zip to see of it's OK. You shouldn't have to wipe anything of you're just flashing the same rom over it. Does it happen with every phone call?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
MD5 sums of both the ROM and the mod that I flashed were checked... and yes its every phone call in and out. I tested it by just calling my girl's phone and leaving a voicemail without me talking and the voicemail went through like normal and it was silent, but on my end I hear this nasty cracking sound that obviously covers up anyone on the other line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
That's weird. Have you tried a different rom or maybe even restored to stock using the images from Google to see if the problem persists? There haven't been any other reports and it hasn't happened to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
if anyone wants it, here's my mod to enable 180 degree rotation...i used it on my phone and it worked fine, but standard disclaimer: make a backup first, i'm not responsible if you mess up your phone, etc etc...

this uses the framework-res.apk from my phone, which has native tethering, lock before unlock, and the enhanced power menu installed...so it will work with those mods too (but should still work even if you don't have them installed). as i said, it worked on my phone...if anyone doesn't have those three installed and wants to test it, feel free...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewcam888:
has anyone had any issues with tethering in this rom. i can't get wifi tether or native tether to work. both start without issues but no computers see the signal. i have this rom with battery 1% and power menu mods installed. other people have gotten this working but i dont know about the wifi tether app on this rom. i had started another thread but was not getting any answers. i decided the rom thread would be better because it may be a rom issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewcam888:
I made a blunder. Apparently wifi tether didn't like the space I put in the SSID name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I am having a problem that just surfaced I have been using this ROM since around mid may I think, but now anytime I open up gallery to look at my pics or movies, either all the thumbnails are empty and if i try loading anyone it just sits there and hangs forever.

I tried clearing cache on Gallery and same issue.

I was not sure if I should try clearing data will that wipe out my images/movies?

Any ideas what I should try?

Thanks

Hello, trying to update my SU binary. 3.0.3.2 binary.

I go into superuser, hit update binary, it says OK and says it updated to 3.1. After reboot, it says I no longer have root. I've tried clearing cache/data of superuser, reflashing the su.zip, and tried rooting through the toolkit but still nothing.

How to fix?

*** Well in order to fix it I had to flash the factory image 4.0.4 then re-root and reinstall everything. Seems like it was something wrong with the SU from this as I haven't had an issue since installing the ROM when it dropped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stebomurkn420:
Can we flash this from jellybean you think???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewcam888:
Is the customized backlight settings I see in custom roms easy to get on this stock version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You can try what you want to. I'd recommend wiping everything, but that's just me. I like to avoid problems and with the backup apps, it takes me 5 min to get back to where I was.

It's stock. I'm sure you could try to copy those changes to this rom, but it would probably take some work.

Follow the instructions in another thread in this forum on how to change the memory card (i think its called "upgrade your hd7 to 32gb" or something

you have to buy a new sd card, id recommend that you go for a 32gb rather than the same size
