Re: [ROM] [AOSP] MMuzzyROM for Toro - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - JDQ39

I installed the binary you posted and have no issues with WiFi or GPS lock. In fact it locks faster than it ever has before... But I still can't tether with the native app or 3rd party....

When installing the zip I wiped cache and delvik. Before and after the install..

Is there any way to "patch" FB so that it will sync contacts in MUZZY?

As far as I know the config.xml file is the same as the last build but I had a heck of a time with the notorious non existant mobile data on Toroplus that we've had since 4.2.x. I could have inadvertently left something out. I'll have to check when I get home.

Thanks everyone! I'm at work and I haven't had time to look at the forums too much today. I have some catchup to do tonight. Thanks for understanding.

I'm uploading another build with the gps.conf reverted, which I should have done yesterday, and the binaries are hopefully a bit more squared away. I'm still at a loss on that one but hopefully it all means GPS works better for everyone now.

though at work, jumping in, backup made of 3/1

Flashing 3/5, gapps and blue zenyth keys, rebooting, updates to follow...

UPDATE: so far so good, GPS appears ok, though I'm in a building, will check later.

Ok, outside, sems ok to me, locks within 15-30 sec, will continue to evaluate.

But darn mmuzz, I really notice that the ROM flies, hitting the app drawer, scrolling, and closing is really quick and responsive. someone working here just tossed CM 4.2.2 on his GSIII and I still think mine is faster ... :)

Wait, what? Radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Re: [ROM] [AOSP] MMuzzyROM for Toro - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - JDQ39

The rom doesnt change the radios. Depending on your former build, the change that helped GPS might be different binaries.

Apparently Droid Life has the radios from the recent ota. Might want to verify that though.

*cough*and 3/6*cough* Thanks adb! OP updated.

mWalt2 has the radios in a flashable file in another thread. He pulled them from the OTA. ROMs like this one don't have the radios so they won't change radios when you flash them, as Tiny said.

Here is mWalt2's radio thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176895

I restored my 3.1 build and the GPS locked on instantly. Flashed the new radios and it had a little bit of an issue locking on. Deep sleep seems to be working great though with the new binaries. Will try out 3/6 build later tonight. Waiting for more feed back while I'm out.

Hey mmuzzy I've been unfaithful but I want to come back I'm missing the sweet taste of French Vanilla.

I havent been on a stock aos for a while and I wanted to know what the stock 4.2.2 ota leak was like. I restored a backup of stock 4.1.1 and updated to 4.2.2 ota leak and my gnex is super fast with no issues. The only problems im having is I got use to the extra goodies that French vanilla has. Please forgive me I'm not worthy.

The question I have is do I need or want to flash mwalts pulled radios and tiny's pulled vzw proprietary binaries?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BOY_:
Re: [ROM] [AOSP] MMuzzyROM for Toro - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - JDQ39

The radios aren't necessary but they have that new radio smell. AFAIK, the binaries are all built in.

Go for it, I'm getting supernatural battery and performance with the following setup:

Mmuzzy latest (always)

3/1 gapps

Tiny's latest kernel

Crossbreeder script

Just finished flashing all of the above after 13 hrs I just dropped below 50%. YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Lol. I don't blame you one bit. It's nice to have official ota's. Once you have the updated radios you're always going to have them unless you blow in an older image with radios.

I did a clean flash 3/6 build from 4.2.2 ota leak everything went smooth w/no errors I've only tested GPS as it seemed to be the focus and it found me quick.

I think Adbfreedoom and WillyJay are freaking awesome for updating their mods and fulfilling requests like they do. Big thanks to them.

Tiny half the time i dont know what hes talking about hes on another level. I don't know what your saying but I like the sound of it.

Thanks Mwalt for pulling the radios

Changes a number in an xml file probably. In all honesty, I doubt it does anything. The battery will still be charged when it says 95-100% and be ready to die when it says <2%.

THANKS!

Stock 4.2.2 Kernal

Mmuzzy French Vanilla 3-5

Newest radios flashed.

Hello, LOVE your ROM (came from bugless beast, so long overdue for a new ROM). I have been having different issues, so kept trying the superwipe script and reinstalls. Just clean installed 3-5 build French Vanilla....

The only issue i am having is when turning on "Wireless Tether for Root Users" it asks for SU permissions, they are granted...but upon starting the app, I get 'wifi tether started with errors-see log'.

My problem is, is that there is no log file found (via the popup above) and none of my devices can 'see' my phone in their wifi in settings.

Has anyone else experienced this? I havent changed ROM in a LOOOONG time (as stated above), so was wondering if somehow this app is disabled or something. I searched but found no info on this.

Also my bluetooth worked flawlessly until i reinstalled (clean) as my contacts app kept crashing when trying to use the dialer. Am still testing that on this 3-5 build.

I have yet to say thank you enought to Mmuzzy for this ROM...as I love it...just hoping there is a fix for that app... i dont use it but 'once in a blue moon' but when i try its needed.

THANKS again!! Any help/info is GREATLY appreciated. (Sorry ive been MIA for so long, but didnt want to post until phone worked fine.. (no system errors)).

I will test, but am at a 'loss' of how I can manually fix. (App was restored from market).

Thanks again!

(Bugless Beast is/was WAAAY outdated...he got busy with summertime, and hasnt returned .... yet. :).... but FV is a 'stock' build with some great tweaks... see me on this on for a long while!! (Thanks Mmuzzy!)

Re: [ROM] [AOSP] MMuzzyROM for Toro - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - JDQ39

Updated to the 3/6 build with a clean install. GPS will lock after about 15 seconds or so outside in open sky, but I've noticed another problem. Prior to activating GPS the phone sleeps fine. After activating, getting a lock and then turning it off, no deep sleep. I've tried clearing cache and dalvik cache with no luck. Battery stats show a kernel wake lock caused by the GPS preventing deep sleep. I'm running the AK cylon kernel but otherwise untouched. This hasn't been an issue before. Any ideas?

Update: Switched GPS back on and it hung for about a minute without even network location which is very odd. Then I was able to get a lock. Now when switched on I get a GPS lock almost instantaneously and the phone deep sleeps again. No more wake lock. Not sure what the problem was, but it seems fixed now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
Just flashed Tiny's Kernel a couple days ago. i Didnt to anything other than lower the minimum Frequency to 230MHZ and change to Wheatley Governor. doing just that i have gotten the best battery life i have gotten on ANY ROM/Kernel combo. i am usually about 2hr 15minutes screen on time. i could have gone up to 3hrs easily last night if i wasn't so tired. stock 1850Mah battery.

made one 5 minute wi-fi call, 10 or so text messages, hour of pandora/google music streaming, some video streaming from google videos, then lots of social stuff and forum browsing.

and that brings me to my post about coming here. this is by far the smoothest / most stable ROM i have run in a while. EVERYTHING works as it should....Bluetooth streaming works great, and the range is about 30 feet or so, GPS Locks on like it should, and battery life (with TinyKernel at least) has been nothing short of fantastic.

dirty flash update to 3/6 from 3/5. gps was fine on 3/5, and still working well on 3/6..

one thing that happened on flashing 3/6 is that for some reason the 'use automatic date / time' setting unchecked itself, so when I booted the phone, it was like 12/31/1999.. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is this just a random glitch or does it mean anything in terms of the ROM flash?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
*deep breath* I'm having this happen on too many devices with the posted binaries. Some days I think I should just be a user. ;)

Lets experiment with a couple GPS fixes.

This is the original MWalt2 gps fix that I updated: http://goo.im/devs/mmuzzy/toro/Addons/MMuzzy ROM GPS Fix JOP40C.zip

This is the newer binary flashable for 4.2.2 that klobkelosh put together: http://d-h.st/3Pm

I can't seem to figure out a combination that works well for everyone. The second one with the updates should work all the time for everyone but I still seem to have people with mixed results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Greg Tolan:
Hey MMuzzy, Does the Vanilla 3/1 ROM need to have the 4.2.2 binaries rebuilt/remerged like you did from the 3/5 to 3/6 build of french vanilla? I want to do a clean flash but would rather wait if you are working on something there.

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Probably. I wanted to make sure were squared away first. I thought I was going to update Vanilla tonight but now I'm not sure after having a couple people reporting issues with GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I know ...

well, I turned GPS off then on, and then it was working for the rest of my drive back to my office.

I'll keep these in mind, but prior to the 3/5, 3/6 I was fine all the time. (I was almost going to skip, but the allure of new stuff got to me :) )

I'm going to just stay here for the moment, unless it repeats. When it locks, it is instant.

No worries, it will all work out in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Re: [ROM] [AOSP] MMuzzyROM for Toro - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - JDQ39

For those having GPS issues, have you tried resetting AGPS assistance data in gps status app (download from play store)? It's worth a try.

I'm no gps expert but I know a lot about them and use many different types including high end survey grade units. The long lock is typical when agps data is not used or is faulty, and the gps receiver has to get ephemeris data direct from the satellites. This, often referred to as a cold start, can take 2 to 5 minutes, and may be what people having long lock times are witnessing.

Agps significantly speeds up position acquisition if the data is current and synchronized. In marginal service areas, it may not be optimal. New radios may affect how the data is received. Network maintenance can affect. Old cached agps data can affect too. New drivers can affect how data is used. Lastly, gps configuration could be culprit.

So, short story is if we want to figure this out, it's best diagnosed with a clean flash of the ROM with the newest Verizon provided binaries and the newest radios and no other mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I wish I could give all 8 thanks to this post... and I'm already out which is even worse. Please, anyone having GPS issues read what klobkelosh just posted here.
