It has nothing to do with the GPS, and I stated that in the OP, so people need to stop crying about me saying the GPS is not working. I have run numerous GPS tests, including the app GPS Test and all works very well. Its the Navigation app. And on my friend's phone that is running CM with him sitting right next to me his Navigation app is working just fine, so its not the google servers either. Only thing it could be is in this separation of the GAPPs, because it worked fine 100% before that.

When launching the app it gets hung up and just says "Waiting For Location". If you touch the screen it automatically closes. If you sit and wait the screen eventually turns off and upon opening the screen the app has closed.

I am just reporting what is wrong and why I think it has happened, I loved this OM, but with the recent updated too many things have been going wrong, and its more than just one phone... People need to lighten up and stop getting all butt hurt and cryoing like babies because I bring this to mmuzzy's attention. He seems to be just fine with me telling him, so the rest of you should really stop crying like little girls who got yelled at on the school yard. Pack up your pink skirts and stop crying because I wasn't sitting around handing out blowjobs like the rest of you are doing.

I appreciate MMuzzy's work, but I just don't sugar coat things. I am telling him what doesn't work on multiple phones, if you can't take it then don't read my posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Ok. Point taken. But I really don't need to be told my ROM has become crap. That doesn't help, at all. If that's all you have to give me to help me make the ROM better, or fix it when it needs it, then just go use another ROM. I don't need that.

EDIT:

- OP fixed, sorry about that.

- New build coming with some changes. hopefully gps.conf (not stock), and a couple that will make some happy, some not... as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Swapped out the GPS.conf with Mikes, will check it out in the AM...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougdirt:
Muzzy,

Thanks for this great rom.

Everything working great for me here. GPS and navigation are fine and dandy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Thanks. :)

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

Having said that, I believe that those who are having problems are having real problems. It's one of those things that isn't an issue for everyone. It's as frustrating for me as it is for them.

I'm trying this out in the new build coming shortly:

ROM Updated

October 26, 2014

- Integrated 4.1.2 GAPPs

- gps.conf updated (convolution)

- 1% Battery Indicator
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
I appreciate all this hard work you're putting in!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Thanks, techspecs. Hopefully we gain ground again this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Yeah I second what techspecs said. This has been an awesome ROM, and I glad to say that all is running buttery smooth in my neck of the woods. Keep up the great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samuelhadams:
I've been running stock 4.1.1 via Verizon OTA since its release. How does 4.1.2 compare?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szimmerm:
Will be flashing tonight, excited to see how it handles. When you say convolution, what do you mean? I'm an EE major with a Signals focus, so I'm curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I'm afraid that just refers to the username of the xda member who posted the GPS conf file tweaks. Sorry its nothing techie. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacopimp:
Mmuzzy. My apologies, I should not have said the rom is crap. I can admit when I am wrong.

I will say though that the GAPPs now sucks though and I am guessing that's not really your fault. I just don't see why the vzw bloatware is in there. Why doest Google just make the apps in the GAPPs able to be downloaded individually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I appreciate that. Thank you.

I think I over did the Verizon files too. I can lose the Backup and My Verizon and keep the back end files that allow them to work when installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aggrophobik:
I have to agree. Part if the reason I love these ROMs is losing the VZW bloat. ;)

Question, was this supposed to be detected by too manager when clicking check for updates?

If so, that didn't occur for me. Just FYI, I am grabbing it thru too though using the DL link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Strange. It seems like it should be. I just checked the fields it wanted in build.prop and they look OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BOY_:
Mmuzzy, wiped dalvik and flashed over and the ROM is perfect. I will say that the circle battery isn't my fav (I like stock) but that's splitting hairs. Everything that matters is bulletproof.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Thanks.I'm on the fence about the circle battery myself... but it gives the battery status better which I do like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
I agree!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Ya I don't like stock how you have to get another app or goto settings for your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artjef:
I am on the latest build and everything is working great as long as I stay away from circle battery :).

As far as some the issues some are having, remember to look up. The issue could be from another source. Yesterday there were issues on the Internet

http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/...oday-including-dropbox-and-google-app-engine/

Most everyone at work could not get to the Google servers from their phones.

As far as GPS issues, when I have had an issue so has my son's G3 and my Garmin.

Not saying there are not problems but consider it might not be the ROM.

Anyway Muzzy, thank you for your work, it is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Great update Muzz. Loving the circle bat and reboot menu. Two things Google should bake in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
agreed

Thanks. I'd love to find a site that helps identify GPS issues easily we could refer to for day like this. This was really helpful info.

My feelings exactly. I'm not really loving the circle battery though. I think it looks a tad out of place. I think I'd like to find a readable percent over stock image look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
The GPS issue appears to be completely external. Last night it took two minutes to get a lock, just now it took six seconds.

I was talking last night to some friends about GPS issues (because I needed it to find their house!). They reported that they too were having GPS issues over the last few weeks on their phones and on the in-car navigation system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm getting a strange issue on the newest build where if I have power widgets in the status bar, its all white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I'm not sure what that is. I'm using TogglePanel and I'm not getting anything like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Alright I'll use that then
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Or try reboot or reinstall of the widget. I'm just not sure what caused it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Well I got another app and still had the problem, gonna reboot and see if it fixes.

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

Just rebooted and the problem is still there. Eh, whatever I give up xD. I'll just stick with the stock toggles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modgadgets:
PM me your number guys I'll add u to what's app nexus group :D

And toggles should change without a reboot Mate if you flashed properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Just PM'd you my number and I dirty flashed so maybe thats why
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Muzz to install the new Gmail I tried deleting the one from system apps yet the original Gmail remains. Where is the other app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
After you delete (using titanium backup or root explorer or something), reboot first. Then install the new apk

Edit: to be clear, it's not like removing a normal app since it's a system app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
I forgot the reboot. Duh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidFlory:
Just a quick comment on gps fixes. My experience from many years of using stand-alone Garmin units is that the time needed to get a fix depends very strongly on how good a guess the unit/system can make about its initial position. If you are getting a fix from the same place you were in when you turned the unit off then it is very quick. If you are at a different location then the farther away from the last fix you are then the longer it takes. Worst case is a totally new fix when the unit has no idea where it is. E.g.: after a factory reset or battery pull.

This may explain some of the divergent experiences of users with MMuzzy's ROM (which works great for me).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGeleff:
Sigh. Looks like my stint of dirty flashing these ROMs will be coming to an end today. Just flashed 10/26 and I'm getting some really laggy performance coming in from the end of September build that I've been running for a while now. Shucks. I hate this part. :[
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
In part, but I haven't seen issues with my Garmin 496, either in the car or the heli during the time I've been having issues with my Gnex.

Part of it getting it's position is from aGPS, which is setting a position based on cell network to begin with.

I clean flashed the 10/26, not a fan of the circle batt, but that's another topic. Seemed to still have issues, I went back to my backup of 10/24, I still don't think it's hardware, but a external thing with Google's app services, though I don't believe the appengine has anything to do with Gmaps or nav access, but I could be wrong.

Funny enough, this experience has really widened my skillset in terms of I haven't been flashing much lately, got those skills back quickly!

Not going anywhere in the next few days to test out, but after storm goes through I expect to be somewhat busy. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bacchus71:
Great work MMuzzy, I like trying out different ROMs, but always come back to yours. Thank you for your efforts!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Explanations like this make a lot of sense. Thank you. When I try to add 'fixes' to the gps.conf I usually feel like I might as well be rubbing my belly and patting my head.

Sorry, man. I'm just trying to find the best mix of included parts to make things as smooth as I can for the most people. I guess this is a bad time to mention another build today, huh? It's really not worth doing from the last one though.

I think we can help you practice flashing and maybe make you happier about the battery indicator in a while. ;)

Thank you. I used to love trying other ROMs but I prefer things on the light side. Plus, I'm too busy messing around with this one... and leaves. ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pennjersey83:
Is there any way I can remove the 1% battery indicator?

1) I'm using an app called Power Toggles which gives me the battery percentage on the left side of my notification bar

2) the 1% battery percentage is way too small

3) I want to be stock as possible

EDIT: Just read back a couple pages seen this already discussed. Perhaps battery indicators should be reserved to mods to give people choices. Either way, the 10-26 ROM is running great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Agreed, and the default battery indicator while charging doesn't show the percentage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
This is the part I've been struggling with. I don't want to maintain MODs and they're a source of problems when people flash them if they've flashed them for older builds or from another ROM, etc. Having said that, I really did miss the reboot and 1% on other ROMs. I was hoping to find a balance that everyone could at least find useful. I guess ultimately the point of the ROM was to be totally stock, but now it's becoming a ROM that I'm not exactly happy with. Looking at the poll it's clear that the choice of what to do isn't clear.

Oh, and I did fix the charging indicator either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protibus:
Mmuzzy, your ROM was the first I flashed on my, then, brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus because I didn't want to wait for VZW to send out their update. I went with yours because it was stock and, as I found out, rock solid and smooth. If I were you I wouldn't stray too far from the great ROM that you have been delivering so far. It is by far one of the best ROMs available and backed and created by a genuine and very responsive dev. Just keep up the great superior work you have been delivering. There are plenty of launchers and mods out there that those who are somewhat dissatisfied can add on to give them what they want. You can't please all of the people all of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szimmerm:
I'd keep the reboot menu at the least. Google really SHOULD bake that in. It's inexcusable that they haven't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
I digg that fact that your ROM is stock because of how smooth it runs. At the end of the day, what matters most is the phone running like it should without all the clutter that comes from way too many mods. I think I speak for those of us that are completely happy with an all stock ROM option, and it makes less of a headache and work for you. If people are looking for mods, there are various custom alternatives that may cater to their desires. This is a great ROM, and I've been digging it from day one. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aggrophobik:
I'd have to agree. If you're not happy with it, it's no longer "you're baby". I hate to say it, but ppl use you're ROM for exactly what you've made it. There's plenty of other options for ppl that want more "non-stock" features.

You're fans will back you & your ROM regardless, if they truly appreciate your work. Just my .02.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
The mod is only in SystemUI.apk. Just take a version from this rom before it was added, put it in /system/app, fix permissions, and you're back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
I wish for magic wands and pink unicorns to be baked in. And it should make coffee. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erasable:
I personally like the battery mod. Saves me from having to flash another zip. Why some sort of 1% battery indicator isn't baked into android I'll never know. Honestly, I think you should just make a rom that you are happy with as a daily driver, and leave it at that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I haven't flashed the "1%" battery mod. So, I'm not sure what is so special about it. I guess I view the battery charge just like fuel in my car...when I get down to a quarter tank, I fill up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Pink unicorns? Someone has already done that. ;)

Pretty much, yeah. I just like having a little more of an idea than something in a range of about 25% of the total for increments.

Here's what I get when I look at the poll. I can either see that we have a wide split across everything I asked or that about 26ish percent of people who responded just wanted plain stock, and the rest would like the 1%. While I like the readability of the circle battery, I don't particularly care for how it sort of stands out.

I've spent some time with some battery images this afternoon and I think I found one that might be a good compromise. It's a slightly wider stock image with the percent on it. I don't think it stands out like the circle battery, it looks stockish, and it had the percent more readable than when they try to stick it on the stock image.

I'll also put a 'return to stock' zip on Goo for the totally standard look which does what mWalt suggested.

ROM Update

October 27, 2014

- A more stock 1% battery indicator

- Fixed charging animation

- Removed My Verizon and VZ Backup Apps

(won't affect usability when installed from Google Play or sideloaded, VZW sign-in libraries still in ROM)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
Perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for. Well done, as always.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I'm glad the first response was positive. I was bracing for it when I saw a response come in. ;)

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I see you re-integrated the GApps. What was the motivation for that change? I'm not complaining, just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I can't say I really wanted to but it seemed to have a recurring negative effect by reverting to a separate install. I'm just not going to go nuts updating that stuff when it's easy enough to do from Play. I'll at least try to keep them current with GAPPs or when I think something really warrants it which affects usability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
Google probably had in mind that the GApps would be installed with the OEM ROM images. I'm wondering of that makes a difference...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Well basically the GAPPs package isn't as complete as it used to be. Things like GMail and Maps aren't in there so when I took out the GAPPs files the ROM seemed incomplete even after flashing GAPPs. That isn't to say the uninstalled apps aren't all in Play though but it gave the ROM a different first impression.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
What is in the current GApps file? Gmail, Play, chrome and drive are really the only Google apps I use. And, of course, the related syncing. I don't nned books, music, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chan1121:
Mmuzy, your rom is great. I just updated to the 10/26 version. I think the reboot option should be stock from android so definitely keep it in the rom. I also love the 1% battery mod. My favorite one I've seen is from cm10. I believe at one point I downloaded it from this thread, but I usually use that one. Is it ok to flash over the circle mod or the 10/27 build if I'm not a fan of the newest battery mod? Or will it change important files and potentially mess something up? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Of your list I think only Play is in there. But when it comes down to it, that's really the important one. GAPPs also does some shuffling of files and changing filenames so things like Google Now work right.

Thanks. I hope everyone realizes how miniscule these changes are. We're talking a few lines of code and some swapped out battery images. The Power Menu change I could practically type out by hand if I had to every time.

Yes, you can use any battery mod that's designed for an AOSP ROM of the same build. Hopefully they only have the necessary changes and there aren't other things in the MOD riding shotgun though. The MOD is really a couple XML files and a bunch of battery images and nothing more, before being compiled into the SystemUI apk that is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I agree about Play. Your clean ROM with Play would get me everything I want. The rest I can get from Play.

I find Google now to be more annoying than useful, but it is still early in its maturity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pennjersey83:
I love Google Now and use it every day. I no longer need a weather widget on my home screen, I can easily see how long my drive to work will be, and I can quickly find out what time my team plays on Sunday. I think Google Now is incredibly useful and great at understanding my voice. I agree it will even get better over time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That's amazing Google for ya. ;D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
I prefer the circle battery. Is there a mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artjef:
I like the new version but I liked the last. I think you should build the ROM in manner that gives you satisfaction and the majority will stay with you. Kinda like returning to your roots. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I put the link to mWalt's circle battery mod back in the op.

Thanks. I guess we'll just have to see what new things 4.2 brings us to decide what I'm going to do from there. Hopefully some of these things will be baked in and we won't have to worry about it. As for the new battery, it looks more stock but I can't focus on the percent without my glasses... so that sucks. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BOY_:
Mmuzzy, apparently 10/26 update was running slow... why you ask? Because 10/27 is absolutely screaming for me! Not sure why there should be so much of a difference but there is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
You wouldn't think it would make a big difference but why argue with results. I'm glad it's working well for you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xolanir:
Thanks for the latest update brother! It's running rock solid and buttery smooth as always. Great job man!:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subsonicbug:
i know this is probably a super noob flasher question.. but how do I do my backup / flash so that I don't have to go back and manually add all my sync'd accounts (corporate exchange, friendcaster, groupme, voxer, tango etc), and go edit my contacts (join contacts that are duplicated).. I've got most of the other backup / flash steps down so that I'm back up and running quickly after a new superwipe and then flash mmuzz update, but those last bits of setting up my phone are always a manual step..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
thank you :)

Hmm. I've always just done them manually. Security-wise, I don't see that as a bad thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subsonicbug:
ok. as long as I'm not the only one running through all those steps after a clean flash.. google restore does a good job with most of the android settings, but its just those remaining ones to get all my accounts sync'd up and 'people' app set up the way I like..

Also I second Boy_'s comment about the quickness of this 10/27 update of the rom.. seems like there is less lag between screen touch and action than ever before.. even things like gallery loading, homescreen rotate, camera launch, and jumping between recent apps has been super snappy..

I will definitely hang out here until I see that you've got a 4.2 build as lean as this! thanks for your awesomeness
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Fantastic. Thank you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artjef:
I understand, I keep running out arm without my glasses :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
So yeah. Oddly enough, adding the GApps back into the mix totally seemed to do the trick. New build is rocking my socks off. Not only that, but the batt indicator is actually really pretty decent... I'm usually a fan of stock everything, but this actually does the trick.

Awesome. Well done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
Has anyone else had a problem with Google play not restoring apps on the 10/27 ROM? I clean flashed to 10/27, but play did not restore any of my apps. So, I clean flashed back to 10/24, and play restored everything. I clean flashed back to 10/27, but still no app restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] margelef:
102812 gapps pulled back out?

I just went to download the 10/27 build only to find that you already have a 10/28 build out there. You've been keeping busy! The 10/28 build is 100MB smaller than the 10/27 build. Does that mean that on the 10/28 the GApps got pulled back out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I did the auto restore by accident and it worked for me. Weird.

I'll check. I missed it if it was missing them. That wasn't 'official'. ;)
