If you dont have any older rom images stored on /sdcard somewhere then that is not an option.

Next plan is to get into fastboot mode.

1. Pull your battery then put it back in.

2. hold volume up and down then press power. Hold it till you get to the bootloader.

3. Hook up your phone to your computer via usb cable

4. Download a 4.1 based rom. Example CyanogenMod 10.

5. Get the android SDK and install the android-tools. (will take some research on Google on your end)

6. on your computer you will need to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23530250&postcount=3 You should be able to skip the cwm.img step as you already have that installed.

sorry, in my post I stated that I cant connect my phone to my pc (toolkit wont recognize it, and phone doesnt show up in "my computer/" I also dont know what drivers to install with toolkit because there is no 4.2 option for TORO

would it be easier to just factory reset back to stock or something? if possible???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ba_hamilton:
You are correct. It must be something else that I have done to improve my battery all of a sudden. Turning off daydream was just the last thing I remember doing.

So... now that I'm learning to live with 4.2 and TWRP (Which I like a great deal from the looks of it BTW) how can I get this ROM to enter deep sleep?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Regarding diminished signal strength in 4.2, see tiny's post on rootz: http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/36893-Poor-signal-in-Android-4.2-on-LTE-GNex?#entry1036947

So, looks like there is no change in signal from 4.1 to 4.2, just a change in signal bar scales! Phew.

A factory reset is only going to reload MMuzzys rom. Your old ROM is still there in a backup and the only way to restore it is to do what I said above (that I know of). If you want to reflash the original OEM factory image then you will still need to have your PC find the phone as you will need to fastboot flash it as well: (Link to factory Toro image) https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysid

In Windows you need to go download the driver for it so you can talk to it in fastboot mode. I use Fedora Linux and I dont have this issue.

Try going here to see if any of the information can help: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/1...extended-batteries-day-one-thoughts-and-more/

You could always cheat and download this tool to install the drivers you need: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/18/galaxy-nexus-simple-root-tool-receives-load-of-new-features/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Also, stumbled across this on rootz: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/33355/why-is-the-hdr-button-missing

" It turns out that HDR isn't done by the camera app itself, it's a scene mode that needs to be supported by the operating system implementation and/or drivers.

The camera app will remove the HDR button if:

You're not on API level 17 (Android 4.2) or above, or;

Camera.Parameters.getSupportedSceneModes() returns null or a list that doesn't contain the string "hdr"

So in short, the HDR mode is implemented by the operating system's camera driver itself and can't be added to the standard camera app without delving into the OS source.... The camera app is backward compatible with 4.1 but like I said it will remove the HDR button from the screen if it fails either of the two tests above. The camera app just requests HDR mode from the operating system if it's available, I didn't source dive the C++ parts to see whether it was in the OS or the driver, but it's certainly not part of the camera/gallery application nor the Java parts of Android. –*Gaz "

Mmuzzy - think you might be able to track down Camera.Parameters.getSupportedSceneModes in the source code?

Not to try and hog the thread... but I wanted to make sure that deep sleep not working wasn't to be expected with this build.

The biggest mistake all the above has done that I can tell is that you DID NOT POUND A FEW BREWSKIES! It is mandatory to pund a COLD ONE before flashing anything! MAn LAw!!! :laugh:

first guy, CWM aint happening cause you don't have the latest recovery flashed. Find it, flash it. batta bing batta BAng!

second guy, you need the drivers on the computer for the device (your phone) to show up on the tool kit, the instructions are clearly written in the toolkit. choose the latest AOSP available, (16) then install drivers (1). Good Luck!

Third guy, your probably the second guy....Good Luck and refer to pounding the brewskies before commenting again. I gotta finish watching my Laker game now, I'm out. Good Luck! :good: (you can do it)

Fantastic ROM. Just flashed it on my wife's Gnex.

I have a question for all of you! Does anyone know where I can find a pure black and white theme to flash into this ROM??

I have been searching all over creation.. Might be too early for 4.2 themes :/

Thank you!

did u make backup after or before u updated? because from my experience i had to make another backup after i updated in order fort he updated CWM to find them

im not sure if i saw u had but u wouldnt happen to have a transparent google search bar mod do u? where all u see is the google and mic on top i hate the grey one and i hate the white border on the other launchers lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
should i not use the superwipe option to wipe between different 4.2 roms?

i tried to restore a different and so md5 sum matched. just curious if anyone else has done this..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Me again,

I took a bit of a break today to get away from the navbutton mods/requests and back to adding/fixing features that I missed having. One of those things was the style of the permanent Google Search bar - I don't like the look of it in Jellybean so I've reverted it back to the ICS style with just a white-frame border.

ICS Styled Google Search w/NO Home Screen Rotation

ICS Styled Google Search w/Home Screen Rotation

The second version is my personal theme that I think compliments my minimal navbuttons well. I've removed the hotseat divider/track, replaced the giant app drawer icon, and shrunk the hotseat icons by about 20% to give the whole homescreen a little more breathing room.

Kmagameguy's Launcher Theme

--edit--

Roscoe, nice to see you taking a break from refreshing Pete's Bugless Beast page over on Rootz! I think this is what you're looking for - just finished putting it together.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd0070:
So I got the drivers installed and serial numbers show up in mskip's gnex toolkit (both fastboot if its in fastboot and adb mode if its in recovery) so im assuming the drivers are working! However, my phone wont show up in windows explorer. Any recommendations for how I can get my phone to boot anything at all? Perhaps option 9: download, extract, and flash google factory stock rom?

(I tried the sdk but it wont work cuz it says i dont have java even though i do).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt5oh:
Just got this rom up and running..

Everything is smooth and quick. Loving 4.2.1

How can I make the search bar up top have more functionality be transparent or all black?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
think this will work on other 4.2 roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milly7:
If twrp allows you to mount SD card then you should fast boot flash "twrp.IMG" or whatever the latest version is named via fast boot and then reboot recovery, mount SD card, load ROM flash... Could be wrong though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Can't hurt to try - just backup Launcher2.apk in /system/app/ before you flash. I would imagine it works on any AOSP 4.2 ROM,those shouldn't touch the launcher application since it's pretty independent of the rest of the system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd0070:
I'm in TWRP and it wont let me check the box to mount sd card? would flashing google factory stock rom not work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milly7:
Thanks kmagameguy..... I always make my search bar transparent on any launcher (no white border), as I think it looks better, depending upon the wallpaper (which may not be the case with your set up).

On a side note, I just set up a build environment (on a mac) and I am syncing repo for the first time, yay :D.

I figure I have been around long enough to at least know how to build from source, so I am following the directions on the google website.

Consider this my request for help in advance! lol... (Hint, hint Mmuzzy, craig, and anyone else if I get stuck :confused:)

i flashed the invisio and the launcher theme, neither worked. i have the ics searchbar, the small arrow pointing up for my app drawer and the same keys on the bottom for back home and recent
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd0070:
at this point im fine with that. will I still be rooted and unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajasur:
Do you know of any black and white theme's for 4.2 ROMS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You downloaded the invisible search bar theme (and which other one?), and you ended up with the kmagameguy theme after the flash? That doesn't make sense - I just flashed the invisoSearch-signed zip and it worked as advertised on this ROM. Are you on Mmuzzy's build or a different ROM?

--edit--

Not aware of any this time - it'd probably be a little difficult to do as apktool is really hit or miss right now until it gets updated to work properly with 4.2 resources. I've been lucky enough to patch mine with a fixed aapt executable and the framework-res pulled from the ROM, but it'll wreck itself when trying to compile some of the newer 4.2 sources. (I think one app had an hdpi-ldrt-something-or-other folder that apktool freaked out about.) Can you point me in the direction of an example black-out theme that you liked on a previous ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milly7:
Don't know where you are flashing it from. Will most likely leave you bone stock at whatever version it is. Will most likely have to unlock bootloader, reroot, etc. Real pita but I have been there done that. You will learn and be able to help others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j0hnnyth3f0x:
This one? It's the tablet ui from apex launcher. Gets rid of the dock too and puts the app drawer up next to the search bar.

There is a theme developer named Nitroz I just found out about and he created a theme called “ black exodus" for AOKP that looks good.

Just want to say thanks been using this for about a week as my daily and so far and have no issues except the occasional re-boot not sure what causes it but coming from a previous thunderbolt user its barely noticeable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Thanks! And you shouldn't be getting reboots, that's strange. Barring some strange hardware issue it should be really stable. If you did a dirty flash you might want to do a backup, flash clean, and see if things behave better.

No dirty flash went from stuck wiped and installed fresh yea im going to get around to re-flashing shortly and post an update with results but still very happy with the rom seems solid and stable

Verizon wireless test fix

What is the "verizon wireless" test fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Sounds good. Grab the newest build if you haven't already. ;)

The text fix was to address some users having T-CDMA 64 show up in the pulldown and lock screen rather than Verizon Wireless (happens on many AOSP roms). The fix addresses this issue when the ROM is built rather than a post fix which seemed to introduce other issues such as the roaming indicator showing, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samuelhadams:
- build.prop market compatibility fix

- GAPPs version/location fixes

Can you explain these?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Sure. I updated the fingerprint in the build.prop to reflect the latest OTA which should prevent apps not showing up in Play or other funkiness. I also commented with original values in case there are things affected that I couldn't replicate when I tested it so it can be reversed. The Google apps that are integrated just needed some tweaking as far as how they were installed which could possible have prevented them from being updated although they seemed to be ok. I also took My Verizon out altogether even though the Verizon SSO was left intact. This seemed like a better balance to me and allowed the Verizon apps to be installed and used without a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] culmor30:
I've had the same problem with every AOSP JB rom. I made a tasker profile which seems to solve it, but I'd still like an actual solution.

Sorry about the external link. Was having trouble uploading here from my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Are you running the updated ROM? The question that I had asked was if it happened with a clean flash before apps were restored. If not, then it might be an app. I don't have this issue so I can't replicate the condition.

Screen Drain on Battery

I rarely have my screen on, and when I do, it is on automatic; however, when I look at battery life, it seems to be at 60-70% of the drain on the battery. Was wondering if anyone else was having this issue. If it is rom related, kernel related, or other. Also, I have the extended battery, but it rarely makes it more than 12 hrs.

Thanks.

BTW - I have had absolutely no other issues with this rom. Love it. Thanks for all your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Not unless you have gremlins now, you should be fine to dirty flash. I did a clean flash on this build for no other reason than to see what it would be like from scratch. However, others have dirty flashed with good results.

Thank you. :)

Keep in mind that it's percentages of total battery drain which can look large if it's the thing relative to everything else causing drain. I would expect the screen to be on the list. Even if the battery was off charge for 2 minutes and you looked the screen will be a relatively high number.

If you came from another ROM I'd give it a couple days to 'stabilize' and see what kind of battery life you're getting. Obviously screen on time and poor signal areas as well as apps that keep the phone awake will affect the life but we're getting great reports of battery life from people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dtraini7:
For some reason, when I updated to todays update (thats weird) through rom manager, my phone doesnt seem to notice all of my pictures and ringtones on my "sd card" (i know we dont have one, i am not dumb). I can go through solid explorer and look at everything that is on my "sd card", but the gallery app doesnt show my photos and the sound settings dont show the ringtones that i have downloaded. has anyone else had this problem??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I haven't heard from anyone else about it. Maybe a clean flash would help. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
I've been through a few roms now. One of them abandoned my sdcard folder and made a sdcard0 folder. It seems to be a symlink though because the same content is in both locations. So this might not be your exact problem but it might be a clue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
It isn't that sdcard was abandoned and sdcard0 was used instead. It isn't a mistake but a change in naming conventions for Jelly Bean I believe. This isn't an issue, it's normal. I think you'll find all 4.1.1 ROMs have sdcard0. That's my understanding anyway.

EDIT: This is from a file in Jelly Bean called init.tuna.rc showing how symlinks are being setup from the old locations to the new one.

-snip-

import init.tuna.usb.rc

on early-init

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0

mkdir /storage 0050 system sdcard_r

mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0000 system system

# for backwards compatibility

symlink /storage/sdcard0 /sdcard

symlink /storage/sdcard0 /mnt/sdcard

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
You the man. 0 looks like a jelly bean... ftw? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I only knew to go there because I already had the WTH is this sdcard0 all about moment. ;)

UPDATE: I'm seeing the missing media thing in at least three threads. I don't know what the pattern is yet but it doesn't seem to even be isolated to AOSP since I saw someone post about it in CM10. I would be curious to know if either a fix permissions or a clean flash fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
I was randomly surfing this site and found this... Worth a look for the .nomedia just in case. I had forgotten about this "feature"

http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?t=601747
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
If anyone with media not showing up can use a file manager like Root Explorer to see if there is a .nomedia file in their media folder? I can't imagine why it would be in there for no reason but I'm seeing no pattern on ROM or usage. It's pretty random in a few threads so it's worth a shot I guess.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
You can either do a factory restore or use the toolkit to push the new file to your phone. Then, you can boot cwm without installing it and flash the ROM. Again, twrp would not work for me....

Thanks MMuzzy great job!:good:

Sent you a couple brews.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Mainly the reason I do it is to get a nice timely upgrade when we get new point releases since Verizon take forever. It's not that different from the OTA 4.2.1 you'll get. If I ever get a separate machine to do builds I'll set up for more phones.

A lot of times it's the location services keeping things awake so if you haven't try getting a GPS lock after a reboot. Also see if things like currents aren't set to background sync

I'd get something like Better Battery Stats to get a better idea of whats going on with the drain. Same answer as above about apps with background sync and getting a location loc, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LauraSakura:
Maybe one of your apps has an issue with 4.2? Is daydream enabled?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
No, not at all.

The thing with GPS though is it should only be using battery when location is actively requested by an app. There should be no downside to leaving it on in most cases (from my own experience at least. YMMV, of course)

Google's Wifi Tether app does not work at all, keeps giving me errors. I changed the setup method to Netd (master), and that got rid of the errors, but none of my devices can see the signal; it's as if there is no signal being broadcast.

You have ebay installed?

Don't know if it's common but when I had the ebay mobile app installed it wouldn't allow my phone to go into deep sleep at all. Was using 16-18% per hour on LTE. Uninstalled and it went down to 6-8% per hour. Just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:

Which is a good point. Even if it isn't the ebay app specifically, apps can be a little over active and cause things like that. Thank you.
