Me neither....unless I don't get a GPS lock first! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Franco just put out R295, the changelog states "Have Fun ..." Perhaps try the latest kernel for your issue as well?

BTW BB, I used to live in DFB ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I'm thinking this was the problem I was having.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Yep! Gonna auto flash it soon! That's awesome, what part of DFB?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Independence Bay, 10th & Powerline... Flew out of several areas down there...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Haha small world. Powerline and Hillsboro! I noticed you said "flew" are you a pilot by chance? To keep on topic as well ROM running great! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scotty1825:
I'm kinda new to nexus. I want to flash this ROM but I have a couple of questions. What is a clean flash and how do you use mike's super wipe?

Thanks Scotty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Welcome. :)

A good page on flashing on the Nexus: http://www.thesuperusersguide.com/how-to-flash-a-rom.html

Make sure you have the files in the OP post: Superwipe script, the ROM itself, GAPPs (all the Google programs are in it), and if you use Picasa for pictures you probably want the file for Picasa sync too. The superwipe script will make sure you have a clean slate before you flash the ROM, just flash it like you would any other zip file in recovery.

Make sure you nandroid backup in case things go bad. Also, I recommend Titanium Backup or something similar to backup your apps and data.

Reboot into recovery and flash in this order:

1 superwipe

2 rom

3 gapps

4 picasa sync (optional)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
*drops and runs*

Honestly though. Who wouldn't want this little addition in the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scotty1825:
Thanks for the reply. I came from a droid x2 and a lot of the flashing process is the same but some of the terms used through me off. Everything is downloading right now. I should have your ROM up and running in a couple of hours. I'll report back then. Thanks again Scotty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Sounds good. Good luck! It's almost midnight here so a reply might have to wait until morning but I'm sure you'll be fine.

Don't forget the nandroid. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
I want I want!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Me too. ;)

I've wanted to do this for a while now. It isn't really that much extra code and it's one of the mode awkward omissions of AOSP stock ROMs in my opinion. Plus, in my quest to banish MOD listings, my biggest source of grief I think, this will help me get away with it. I'm just going to give it a little bit and I'll probably be uploading an update in the morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigBake88:
Reeboot menu and a battery percentage indicator are def two things I'm surprised Google has still not incorporated into stock AOSP. Thank you for your work! :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
But muzz, I'm spoiled from the mod itself, all the options I love, don't need bootloader though IMO, I can get to that from ADB if need be or by powerup key presses, but hot boot ....

Thinking about it, if your's fixes the duplicate Cell Broadcast thing, I can live with that too .... I've always wondered why Google/OEM's havenet placed a reboot menu option by default, it;s a computer, sometimes you want to just restart it automatically, it's not like we're iThing users and that would be too complicated hehehe ....

On the side, has anyone received a Cell broadcast yet on this ROM? with power mod? No way to really test that AFAIK ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Yep, heli's, all over....

Anyone else have GPS issues last afternoon? I couldn't get a lock for the life of me. Seems to be OK now though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sashin:
Same, I can't get a lock at all. Tried resetting with GPS status and everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dustrho:
Not sure about yesterday, but this morning after a fresh flashing I got my initial GPS lock on in 15-20 seconds.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I can't get a lock either. Not sure why, but haven't been able to get a consistent lock on this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I saw people complaining about GPS on other ROMs yesterday. Sometimes it's out of our control.

EDIT: I'm stuck in a building that's an RF dead zone. I'll try myself as soon as I can.

EDIT2: I made my way to a window and got a lock within about 7 or 8 seconds. Not record setting time but for where I am that's not bad at all

I can understand that. I know it isn't a direct replacement for the MOD but I like the idea of having reboot and reboot to recovery in the ROM without flashing a MOD. I know hot boot can be done pretty quickly using something like the Fast Reboot app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
I'm very much in favor of what you're proposing- the simple reboot options baked in.

ROM Update

October 24, 2014

- Enhanced Power Menu (BB/AOKP)

I was able to dirty flash. I would, however, reflash GAPPs at the same time. As usual with any ROM, clean flash if gremlins appear. :)

Don't use the Power Menu MOD with this update.

Spoiler alert: It doesn't work right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
[clears throat] ahem ... ok, I'm still not sure if the GPS is entirely working ... that is after the poer mod was added, last night and this morning, it took awhile for it to lock on it's own, that without wifi being attached ot a network (I have home an work set in my Gnex), was in the car and it was jumping around Cell towers for quite a bit before it finally got a lock, then after the screen timed out, again it took a bit.

I'm not saying it is the ROM, but it has been inconsistant, and I hadn't seen it like this the first week I used it, which was before I did the power menu mod to it.

As far as the incorporated GPS fix/tweaks, is it like Mwalt's that I used on Vicious V1 ? I was thinking of flashing that fix, because the behaviour is similar to when 4.1.1 came out and we had to tweak GPS to get it to work, but I don't know what the actual tweaks were to begin with on your ROM.

I have no other skins or GPS mods in place, just reporting the experience so it may be reviewed, etc. This only began last afternoon as well, from what I can remember.

Still lovin 4.1.2, believe me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whahn1983:
Just flashed the 10/24 version and GPS is working fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I think the gps.conf in that fix is far outdated at this point. There are definition lines that are ignored this days because the system doesn't use those variables any longer. The currently installed gps.conf file is the one largely being used these days. I'm all ears if someone finds something along those lines improves it though. However, I'm getting locks within seconds here in NH inside by a window. I know better than to assume that means much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Thanks for the info, it could be local, who knows? I've also went into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik and let it boot again.

I'll cruise and evaluate in the meantime ...

It will all be done all over again flash wise if they release 4.2 into AOSP after the 29th .... :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I had that thought as I was playing around with framework files last night. That's ok, though. It keeps us off the streets, right? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szimmerm:
Does Mike's Superwipe leave the virtual SD card alone (like the Superwipe Lite from Android Revolution), or does it wipe everything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
It leaves the SDCARD alone. My stuff has survived dozens of flashes. I guess it's more like hundreds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Yeah ...

I'm thinking local to my work location, something off, but after getting out of that particular area, it locks up great, so ... onwards ...

Can't wait until the 29th, Google sometimes tosses it onto AOSP on the announcement day or just thereafter, whatever Juan fancies ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Yup. I'd be more surprised if they didn't. It should be an interesting day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I've been doing some testing with the GPS lock. I flashed back to stock and got a GPS lock in 15 seconds. But in other places I couldn't get a lock at all. Then, I superwiped, flashed the latest MMuzzy ROM, and GApps. I got a lock in a few seconds. It looks like it is just location and maybe the "mood" my nexus is in. :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
That pretty much sums up my experience with GPS on the Nexus and the HTC Incredible before it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Makes me feel better, I can tell you that ! :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subsonicbug:
Mmuzzy,

I finally have enough posts on XDA to say THANK YOU! (Yes, I'm a n00b)

I've been ROMing and learning with this thread for a couple months now and its been a great experience.

All the updates have served me well, and I've hardly run into any problems.

My only problem ever has been a weird sync/login error with our corporate exchange account at work, but that could be something with our exchange server, and has seemed to go away with the more recent ROMs.

My latest flash-attack was with your 10/21 ROM, and I went all out loading all of the mods listed at the time (power menu, circle battery, wallet, and 4.1.2 Kernel). Started with a superwipe, then went through your install order, and then each mod in order, all within one session in CWM recovery.

Booted up fine and everything is super smooth..

No battery drain or GPS issues, cellular reception seems normal (never been great at my house), never any force closes or app weirdness.

You truly do great , clean, and lean work. Thank you for the commitment to the pure AOSP mission so that users like me can get a sense of what the Google Android team envisioned for the phones.

Really looking forward to what 4.2 might offer, especially pinch zoom on gmail, why has that taken so long anyway!?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
lol! On a side note, I'm trying to figure out if that emoticon looks more like princess leia or kirby.

Thank you! I'm glad the ROM is working so well for you. I'm pretty exciting about what might be in store for us with the upcoming announcement. I think it's safe to say there will be at least a couple goodies to look forward too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
FWIW, the Gmail with pinch to zoom etc was leaked. I've been running it for several days now without issue. Msg me if you want the link. I don't want to crap up this thread too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
So here's a fun question for you: What's up with the oldschool Google Music apk in the GApps? I haven't seen that since before Google Play Music came out. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
It's compiled from AOSP. I just didn't stop it from installing. I guess I should do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
Well, I have a few opinions on that:

1. I think it's hilarious, personally.

2. It's actually kind of nice to have the stock solution to playing "on device" files (i.e. not from the cloud)

My two cents.

On a different note: Why is Android Backup (public class BackupManager) so damned hit or miss? Every time I wipe and reflash a new ROM, I literally never know what I'm going to pull back down from the cloud. I don't like using TiBackup (which is probably just me being anal). Do you know if there's a way to force that backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Argh, not a happy camper today ...

GPS taking 3-4 min to lock on, and when I got back to my office, wifi is showing my signal as poor and not connecting, if I "forget" that one, it then shows full bars and available for connection.

I know it's good, it is showing the same router's guest account (same unit) as full!

downloaded the 10-24, I think I'm going to full wipe and flash that Sat morning if I can live long enough hehehe.

UPDATE: I can't wait, so whilst on the desk charger, wiped and flashed, awaiting first boot now ... we'll see how it goes with your incorporated power menu Muzz ....

UPDATE 2: Frack me silly ... still doing it on wifi. Full bars, and when I enter the password, drops to one and doesn't join up. GPS shows position but lock light blinks, man I'm frustrated .... but going to load up everything else while I sort this out.

UPDATE2: Cripes, decided to reboot the router, killing my co workers for a moment, but that may have did the trick for now on the wifi issue .... Phone has settled down a bit, we'll see about the GPS when I leave to go home, but at least I'm now on the version in which I could update from goo ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I don't have much experience with the automatic app restore other than to confirm it worked for me, I'm afraid. I reflash too often to wait for it all to redownload.

I'm glad to hear rebooting the router helped. Just tell your coworkers it was for science. ;)

How did the Goo.im notification go? It did seem to hash itself a new id when it built so I know that part worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibenjakinov:
Not sure if this might be contributing to your issue, but it works better for me if I flash the ROM ONLY before the first boot and then let everything settle. Then go back to recovery to flash mods, kernel, etc. I usually do the mods one at a time with reboots in between and if I flash a different kernel I'll do it after doing any mods.

I'm not saying it has to be done this way, but it results in the least issues for me and a buttery smooth Android experience!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Don't know myself, I clean flashed the 10-24 from selecting download thru goo, but not thru the updater, look forwards to the next one though.

wifi ok now, but GPS is still being a pain.

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

Not for me, but great advice.

The mod I was referring to was that originally with the 10/16 build, one had to add the power menu mod to get that functionality.

The 10/24 has Muzzy's own power menu incorporated into the ROM itself, so my last clean flash was the ROM, gapps, and boot. I do let everything settle as dalvik is built up then test.

On that, I was looking over the mwalt fix vs the files I have, I can agree on it being older, but at least in terms of the system/etc/gps.conf, seems the older one had an NTP server specified, that is missing in this one.

I backed up and rebooted and tried with the NTP, but nope.

Frustrating this is, because off of Vicious V1 witht eh fix I had solid locks everywhere, so I'm ruling out hardware, just don't know why or what variable may have changed to cause this all of a sudden on my GNex. and I use maps/nav a lot.

After a reboot, a lock in about 2-3 minutes, but if the screen times out, that is lost as you turn on the screen, I'm curious about that as well, in a bid to get better batt life, are we killing that GPS process because the screen goes off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I'm not changing the default behavior of GPS in 4.1.2 in any way though, that's the weird part.

Hey, if you get a chance... try the fix I used to integrate. It looks like it's a bit different now so perhaps they've updated it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I know it's not you Muzz, trust me ...

I got it, I think, I went back and looked at the other threads related to GPS issues, and decided to toss GPS test onboard.

Cleared agps and updated aGPS data thru the app, but also did the disable and re-enable of location services.

Seems to be locking consistantly now, within 30 sec.

I've seen mitch's settings as well, those are nice, and will hold onto it if I encounter further problems.

Brother, what a week! Not looking forward to next week, what with the arctic storm, combining with the hurricane, and a full moon, which means tides high when it comes thru ... yuk. Man, this is going to ruin my daughters Halloween!

Thanks for the ongoing assistance ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Yeah. Tell me about it... this time last year I was shoveling a couple feet of snow so the Trick or Treaters could get to the front door. Who knows what's coming this time. Ugh.

Clearing the AGPS data is usually good for a few days then the data gets old again. If it seems like that gps.conf file from the fix is better than stock again I'll re-add it in. Trust me, I need GPS working too. I haven't lived up here long enough to know my way around completely. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
1% battery indicator

I've got 1% working in the ROM. Now to figure out the style to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Hey .. well I went out the door and damned it reverted again, so I killed google location services and re-started, and it was back.

It's definitely software related in my book, but not your issue, I think depending on what's set, that it's at the google servers again, which occurred in July...

I may yet toss Mike's conf file in there to see, but since I'm back to the one that came in your build, and r/r goole location services seems to do it, it kinda narrows that down eh?

(of course on the flip side, everytime I post "I think I've got it, the darn thing pulls something else on me hehehe, maybe it's cursed for Halloween)

Hmm, of course this could all get resolved in 4.2, but who knows ?

My comment on the current poll, I'd rather see the ROM itself keep the stock, and leave the others to flashable mods, (or that you have the stock batt that can be flashed to revert to it as well) reason being that AOSP is basically a stock build, anyone coming to it may expect that. But opinions can vary ... that's the beauty of being open.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Let me know if you test the 'GPS fix' of mitch's. If it works for you maybe we'll go back to using that as the gps.conf. Thanks.

I do indeed. And I know I'm deviating a smidge by adding the reboot menu and the battery mod. I am being sensitive to the fact that changes such as taking out GAPPs while making downloads smaller and more correct in Googles eyes, gives another step to flashing.

My reasons are:

- GAPPs aren't part of the ROM really, and there's no point in me maintaining them when the package works now

- Reboot/recovery and 1%, I love stock AOSP and the changes to have these are minimal. I haven't added any extra menus, etc. The changes are static and useful.

- MODs are a source of problems. This way I know the framework and systemui I compiled is the one you're using. MODs change things so in effect you're not really running the ROM I compiled completely when you're replacing the framework, etc.

So the changes are things I think are useful, and I think overall are useful to most. And thats the last of it. I have no intention of adding more because I still feel this is 99% stock. I just felt these were usually added after flashing the ROM.

----------

This made it sound like it's happened already. The changes to the battery aren't in the current ROM yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacopimp:
Navigation is not at all working with this ROM. Just says searching for location when opened. All 3 phones I have this ROM on are having the identical issue. Full wipe and flash, still not working.

The GPS is working 100% so I am guessing it is a problem with you GAPPs. In my personal opinion this ROM has been ruined with the removal of the GAPPs and now us having to add it in with all this Verizon crap. I am currently searching for a new ROM, are there any out there that were like this one before it went down the tubes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Well it isn't working for some and obviously it isn't just one phone in your case, but it isn't broken wholesale. I use the ROM and Nav too. I'm going to change the gps.conf and see if it helps.

Ugh. As for GAPPs not being in it, that's the way it's supposed to be for AOSP. Here's the bottom line. I can't win! These is not answer that everyone is going to like. I can't use VZW, why do we have to have VZW apps? In the case of GAPPS, Google has sent out cease and desist orders against CM. That's why we HAVE GAPPs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I'm half and half on this.

But let's just take a look at Google itself, they have been separating their own Apps from the OS for the last year themselves, so that updates can be pushed out to them individually vs awaiting a update to the OS itself, that should be your clue.

As Muzz stated, AOSP itself is supposed to be without GAPPS, in fact in some circumstances, dev's were hit with C&D from Google to remove them.

So removing them from the ROM was not the cause here IMHO. In fact, when you compile the OS from the latest AOSP source, you get just that, android x.x.x without the apps, and you have to add those to it, then wrap it up as a ROM to be flashed.

While I have had issues for the last few days, I believe it's a google server/app location services issue, not hardware, or the ROM itself, I only started having this issue 3 days ago, up until then I was fine with no issues GPS wise and had been running the 10/16 build with Franco kernel (makes me wonder if I should load up 295).

It's simply a hard thing to troubleshoot when there is a problem, because everyone's device is individual, and has a personality, right now, mine hates me hehehe. All we can do is post our experiences, what we are running, what we've done, and hope either Muzz, or someone else has "been there, done that, fixed it by ..." and THAT is something you won't get unless it's open source.

Now since I said I'm half/half, I'd say, Muzz ... not that I haven't checked, but possible something corrupt in the gapps package available? Or I'd look at the google location services toggling off/on bringing it back thing ...

But even saying that, Muzz is using goo, and goo is giving out that same available package to all roms for Gnex, not just his ... so ....

When you live on the forefront, you have to deal with it. I believe each 4.1.2 ROM has it's own quirks ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whahn1983:
Dude.... this ROM is awesome. I've been dirty flashing this ROM for the past 2 months worth of updates with no issues. Please take your negative opinions elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szimmerm:
Muzzy, I just wanted to thank you for the hard work you've put into this ROM. I've been planning on flashing for the past week as soon as I finished with classes. Best of luck to you, and don't let the hyper-vocal, super-negative minority get ya down, the majority appreciates the work you've put in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
Agreed. I'm agreeing with MMuzzy. I think he's doing everything right. Not sure what the GPS issue is...but it's unlikely the ROM is to blame
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BOY_:
mmuzzy, not sure what happened here but you removed the OP? I think most of us agree that you build one of, if not the best rom for the GNEX I can confirm that yesterday I had a nasty delay (30 sec - 1 min) getting GPS to lock the first time I fired up NAV but once it locked on it was rock solid. Definitely not a major issue, anyone who is getting upset needs to find a new hobby.

You are appreciated and we know you do this for fun, we're obviously not paying you for it. Keep up the good word and ignore the disrespectful squeaky wheels. They can easily flash a different ROM, they won't be missed.
