Hello all,

Anybody have any ideas on adding torch to the lockscreen?

I had another question about 4.2.1, I just loaded 4.2 yesterday, and loaded runandhide05's Launcher2 mod (just allows the stock launcher to rotate to Landscape and I also loaded kmagameguy's stock Blue button and %1 battery mod. So my question is can I do a dirty upgrade to 4.2.1? And will the mods stay? Or should I just do a superwipe? Any advice will be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

You don't need an app. I'm using the built in wireless tethering right now with no issues. Go into settings and click the more/expand by the wireless and Bluetooth. In there you'll see the wireless tether option.

Loving this Rom 4.2.1 - excellent work Muzzy!

How do I make the Google Bar up top clear or transparent?

The one with the Google and Speaker Icon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Thank you. Kmagameguy has some bar variations that should work for you: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34736155&postcount=4362. The message is linked in OP along with a few other nice MODs we've seen over the past few days.

Where did you get the circle battery mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I'd like to make the Google bar just go away. I never use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
You can use Apex or Nova launcher, looks like stock and you can remove the search bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Update installed fine for me over 4.2 but hey muzzy, will another zip like this be uploaded to the OP, would like to go back to the stock power menu that should say "Phone Options" on it - looks like it was removed or modded in the one thats in it now (11-27)?

I know its pretty much the same but I am little OCD when it comes to keeping my stuff stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajasur:
Sorry to be relentless, but does anyone know where I can find a black and white theme to run over this ROM?

I have looked everywhere with no luck. Figured maybe someone in here would know.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt5oh:
I flashed it with the Blue stock buttons, its in this thread a few pages back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Thanks, looks good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I understand that. I'll try to redo the zip soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 24601:
I tried that first. That is the hotspot I was referring to. The SSID shows to my other devices, but I cannot get a connection. The signal bars are grey. :shrugs: Maybe 4.2 just isn't for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You'll probably just have to wait a while. As of right now there's only a handful of working 4.2 ROMs, and even fewer of those that are actually stable like Mmuzzy's. An entire black out theme is a pretty significant undertaking - and a risky one due to how often this ROM gets an updated build. I might look at it, but I'd hate to start a theme and halfway through have to start from scratch because there's a new build released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I would say those who want a torch widget on the lockscreen should add the lockscreen widget mod if it is still working with the new build ...

Personally, from the lockscreen you double swipe and you have the torch toggle, so ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
MMuzzy, I just wanted to come and tell you, your the best man. Just checking around some Android sites and saw 4.2.1 was released yesterday and the only thought in my mind was that I needed to find your thread, and needless to say you are already on top of things. I love the stock, very slightly tweaked builds, that are out days (Sometimes hours) after the latest AOSP source drops. Seriously though, very thankful for what you do!

Publish updates to Rom Manager?

the latest 4.2.1 ROM is fantastic. Any plans to continue publishing the latest rom (4.2.1) to Rom Manager?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
I hope this has not already been covered, but I started out reading the 4.2 rom thread at post 204 trying to find if this is the 4.2 rom I want to flash. Reading users comments etc... but seems like this is the most responsive DEV to peoples problems and concerns.

Just one question I could not find with flashing this rom, and that is, if I am using the latest TWRP recovery, then will I be able to see and go back to my 4.1.2 backups if I need to go back. Thanks, for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Yes. I'll upload it tonight when I get home. I was concentrating on getting the Sprint version done and tried to do at least one mirror on both at the same time. The backend upload to ROM Manager is a bit weird so I just put the ROM on dev-host instead last night.

It's probably an app waking it up for a periodic event like sync. Maybe something like Better Battery Stats can give you some clues on which one it might be.

It's most important to make sure you're on the most recent version of TWRP. Then you want to make sure your backups are where TWRP expects to them under 4.2. It might mean moving them manually to the new location. In other words, not as easily as you'd hope it would be because of the new multi user filesystem.

-------------------

The thread is overwhelming right now and I'm at work so I'm sure I'm missing things that might be addressed to me. If you really need me to answer something important PM me. Thanks everyone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
My point was now I don't need any app for a torch... Anything that I can toss on the OS to some degree, and a basic torch toggle is one, allows me to ditch an app- win. Muzz's thoughts on how far we should take to modding what is essentially AOSP runs parallel to my own.... Google should have done this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Or even better yet... Read the thread, before asking for help. It seems we are at the point where EVERY question has been answered a dozen times. Let's let MMuzzy have more development time and less repetitive question time. This thread is almost ready for a wiki :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
You handled that much better than I did. ;) And I see your point about the torch now. I read quick and thought you were advocating for a mod I saw that let you add just any widget to the lock screen. I agree, it should be Google baked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
Thank you for the answer,(didn't have to rush with it, seeing that you are at work) that makes a lot of since. Don't think it would be much problem moving manually. Thank you again for being such a great DEV and giving us such great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Mmuzzy, do you happen to know a way to modify the camera portion of the gallery apk to prevent it from rotating? I had an SOD after rotation, which is annoying. I've also heard from an app developer that there is some sort of global rotation derp in the 4.2 code. We all hate that 4.2 rotation camera lag. I noticed that the app behaves nicely when rotation is turned off, and pics remain oriented correctly. No biggie for now, since we have rotation lock in the quick settings. But this would be so much better if rotation and hdr worked.

Anyway man, thanks for this Rom. She's running beautifully except for the occasional text scrolling related SOD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Yes he did! hehehe .... I made no comment.

We're good on the torch, though nice find for those who want it. Lately I've been looking at my 70 apps and making the decision: Why is this on my phone? I've got stuff that was there just because ... but I've NEVER opened it more than once or twice, and that's going back to when I was on the OG.

So ... I'm pruning. This is especially much nicer now that you can still keep the apps that you think you might want to re-install later on the "All" list, and totally remove the ones you know your won't. :)

I'm down about 6-7 apps now, the benefit is that my TWRP backups will be smaller hehehe ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidFlory:
Where does the widget with time and weather together come from? Can it be put on the lock screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laur3n.newm4n:
Here's a question that I didn't see in this thread - is there a Car Mode / Car Home / Car Launcher .apk for this ROM, or 4.2 in general?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Going back to the OG, car launcher was a proprietary moto thing, some other manufacturers with skins may or may not have made one.

Either it will be third party, or nothing, not native anymore AFAIK.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** Just a note - Google updated the drive app, you can hit an article on Droid Life on that. Funny thing .... I didn't get an update notification.

Now, going into the play store, didn't see any updates either. Strange. Scroll down, Drive is there, hit it and I see the update button.

Ok, the reason I'm saying all this is that it may or may not be the ROM, and what I did next is something to consider if you have something similar:

Went to settings - apps - all, found google play store - force stopped, cleared it's cache and data, then went back and signed in. Update awaiting for Drive!

Lesson: periodically if dirty flashing, clear out your play store cache and data and let it rebuild. :)

(Of course, it is still funky at times with update notifications, but that's another story .... )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laur3n.newm4n:
If you search for "car home" in the Play Store, you get this as a result: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5jYXJob21lIl0.

It's the car home app from Google - it's just not compatible with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.. I assume because we didn't get the 3 pin connectors that would be used with the car dock. I wonder if I update my build.prop if I can install it..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I'm not aware of a way to keep the app only from rotating. I'm with you there about the delayed rotation being annoying though. As for HDR, everything I'm reading is that it isn't supposed to work on the Nexus. I know HDR is a software thing with white levels but it could have to do with a hardware baked in feature of the N4 that we don't have in the Nexus. No idea, it depends on who you listen to on that one. ;)

Whats the text scrolling SOD? I haven't experienced that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Re: hdr, you prolly missed my post last night where someone figured out it was a Rom specified scene mode that tells camera whether our not to turn on hdr. Was hoping you could find the flag. I'll edit this post with mine from last night in a few.

The text scrolling SOD? Yeah, so I only seem to get sod fire the most part when scrolling, usually quickly, in tapa talk or browser. That's happened on stock, tiny, and Franco kernels and on all builds of this Rom.

Edit: my hdr post: 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?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I stand half corrected, I forgot it was Google ... But you are right, it's not supported.I thought that was because it hasn't been updated for 3.0 / 4.0.

But we have the 3-pin, I suspect that to be programming again.

which kinda sucks - WHY put it in Sammy, and then not use it ???? The accessories for the GNex is another thing they really dropped the ball on.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Do they work ok on this build?

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Be interesting to see Muzz ... but I wonder .. if SW based, WHY did they choose not to implement it on the GNex ... Performance? Speed?

Not knocking it, wouldn't mind trying it out (for newb's - HDR takes a series of pics at differing exposures and tosses them together - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging) but wonder what our milage might be if enabled, and how it plays with other aspects of the Camera/photosphere/gallery ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] warriors0584:
Yeah, they work here. I have been using it since ICS. You just have to put the car home launcher in system/apps and install car home and it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
More or less... The app really hasn't worked 100% since OG. I really do like it, but I find that I don't use it. Ijust set aside one screen just for apps I use in the car and put those apps all in one place.

I wish google would update it and include it in the ROM. I don't think there are any other apps in the play store that are as clean and work as smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
To be honest, I probably won't try. To me it's just an effect like sepia or oversaturation more than a loss of functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdoane:
Yep it's DeskSMS. Every time I refresh the web interface or get a text the screen turns on. Anybody else experiencing this?

Edit: DeskSMS was just updated to fix this. Thanks for your help mmuzzy!

I'm using Tinykernel with this ROM and highly recommend it. I also odexed using the Modaco "Odex Me" app once I had everything set up and recommend that too :good:. Of note, Odex Me didn't work unless I was using Zen kernel, so I had that installed and switched back to Tiny after odexing.

Donation sent (yesterday) to mmuzzy and a smaller donation sent to kmagameguy for the awesome mods. Thank you both for making my Nexus that much greater.

There's no such thing as uninstalling a kernel, you just install the one you want over the one you have. if you want to go back to the stock kernel you have to reinstall it.

I don't know if this is good battery life or not. I have 4% battery left and I'm at 13 hours with 2.5 hours of screen on time. About 40% of the time was spent in deep sleep.

I just can't seem to break 15 hours no matter what I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laur3n.newm4n:
I'm at 32%, 19 hours, with 1.5 hours screen time which accounts for 34% of my battery used. My next biggest battery users are phone idle and Backitude (which is supposed to help update Latitude), both at 14%. I'm running the stock kernel. 66% of my time was deep sleep.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Howie Dub:
Hey mmuzzy. I was wondering if your ROM can be odexed correctly? The reason is I've heard that odexing a ROM makes it smoother so I wanted to see if it would be possible to make your ROM smoother than it already is by odexing it after I flashed all the mods I wanted. I tried odexing your ROM and it appeared to odex the /system/app folder, but it also appears to kill the systemui apk. No force close or anything; it just doesn't come on. I wasn't sure if your ROM and kernel supports init.d, so I flashed a zip that enables init.d support. I used the OdexMe app and tried it on both faux's and franco's kernel as I was pretty sure they supported init.d. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
There are no issues with SMS popup on JB. I've had this since the OG. Mine works just fine on latest build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Here is a good post on the signal strength and how it really hasn't changed with 4.2 but the signal bars have.

http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/36893-Poor-signal-in-Android-4.2-on-LTE-GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmericanCon:
Sweet ROM! It seems really fast...like, really fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amin Sabet:
Some of the mods are incompatible with Odex Me. The ROM itself is fine for odexing. You don't need to flash anything besides the right kernel to enable init d. Just set up your Nexus, flash the Zen kernel (which I verified to work with this ROM and Odex Me), then run Odex Me. If your systemui fails, then one if your mods is incompatible. I'm using one of kmagameguy's mods (four nav buttons plus circle clock), and odexing went fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] know8677:
I have a tough time believing that the signal strength is not lower.

At work, we have a secondary authentication on our wifi meaning that the phone can't re-connect on its own. Since flashing the first 4.2 ROM, my phone will not stay connected to wifi at work for very long. Several times a day, I have to re-login. I NEVER had to do that prior to 4.2.

In addition, in an area where I had a weaker but constant cell signal before, I now have no signal. And that's not based on just the bars, but the fact that I can't open up any pages in a browser and apps can't pull data either.

I've re-flashed the latest 4.1 radios and done a battery and sim card pull as suggested in this thread. They may have made the signal marginally better, but not significantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LauraSakura:
It's interesting because for me the signal bars do appear lower, but the dBm is about the same. I'm in a pretty strong 4g area though. I haven't paid much attention to WiFi so I can't really comment on that. There might be some build.prop tweaks that could help though
