[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
My opinion: keep the kernel stock. It's much easier to install a custom kernel than revert to stock. Baking this in is just asking for more problems, imho.

I'm still of the belief that the ROM should stay as stock as possible with mods available, but I'm a purist. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
I don't exactly disagree with sparky about this being stock, but I disagree that it is asking for more problems. I think adding a proven stable tiny kernel fits the mission of what stock should be. My 2 cents...flashing a kernel is so darn easy, it's not really an issue.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Of course, it's more stuff for people to mess with and break, so maybe it is asking for problems...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I think this is hardware to be honest. The normal culprit is something going bad with the pins, etc.

It's a new stack. Google replaced Bluez with Bluedroid so all bets are off with any existing patches.

New stack. Some things broken, some things 'fixed'. Although jury is out on the last part.

Probably. ;)

I'm leaning toward this as being a reason to leave it alone. Kernels are a preference and as much as I like Tiny and his kernel I think it'll probably be just as well to leave it to someone to flash on their own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
+Infinity!

The stock included kernel should be what the ROM stays with, if you want Tiny, or any other feel free to flash at your leisure.

Krikey! I knew you would say that .... :)

That said, though, perhaps it might still function from the zipthemer created update? (IOW, I take the new ROM and update edify in zipthemer and then recreate the update to flash?) Not sure, but you guys are great at that stuff.... I don't tell you how to code, and no one tells me how to fly hehehe ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Apps that don't work...

MaxGo - sdcard error

Weather Channel - data error

Epix - force close

Anyone else having the same issue?

Is this a 4.2 thing? I would test this on my Wife's Nexus 7, but it's wrapped right now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
So unwrap it. You know you want to. :laugh:

In all seriousness, it's most likely a 4.2 thing, especially hearing about a "sdcard error".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Anybody else love that MMuz is humble and open to constructive criticism?

THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!

(Been dying to ask you this and since you opened it up for discussion...)

So you are using the Tiny kernel... this much I know but the big bonus question (sincerely)

Why/what benefits are you seeing from it? I have no doubt that there are benefits, but I am merely one of many MMuzites wondering what you like about it.

I plan to flash it on shortly, assuming there is a benefit I would profit from (hoping for battery life) and very VERY much appreciate your opinion. Also... any settings suggestions for the kernel?

BTW you all... isn't about time we got a fire started around here to make the MMuz a "Recognized Developer"???

.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
A zipthemer package will work fine...if you're ONLY replacing the stock softkeys. If you want the additional search/menu buttons a zipthemer package won't work as they require smali/java edits to function.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makeshiftharmony:
I'm on 4.2 factory rooted and speeds are the same as before. I'm going to try muzzy and I'll report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wartickler:
Wow! Ready for this?

I drive pizza as a second job. I use my phone for navigation and leave the phone plugged in my car charger. The power socket in the car is not energized when the key is not in and turned on. I had 35% battery. I ran in to pick up another delivery and came back out to a fan running in my engine compartment. I unplugged the phone and the fan stopped. I plugged it in and the fan kicked back on. The fan was running on my cell phone battery and the battery was at 10%...!

WTF?!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thesuzukimethod:
fyi: i am running Tiny's kernel on the 12/9 build (dirty flashed over the last november build - so far so good). but i came to this ROM b/c it was a nice clean/stable stock ROM. I like being able to choose from other kernels to replace the stock, but i do like having stock as an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Easily explainable imo

A fluke that was completely unrelated.

(Electric engine fans will often come back on even when the car is shut off if the temp hits the preset level. The temp level will often rise shortly right after the engine is turned off from use coupled with the sudden lack of the liquid cooling system)

Your phone battery...?

Something was running...

PS, if I am wrong... this is going to be very interesting

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] willyjay:
you can back-fill a car's electrical from the power point.....but never heard of a phone running it. wow

edit....kind of like when you lose power at home, and use a generator....all you need to do is plug the generator into any outlet and it will back-fill the other outlets....downside is it will also try to back-fill the city's electrical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Thanks KMA ... I'm not looking to add additional softkeyys, just changing the defaults, so that should be good for me !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artjef:
I would prefer the stock kernel because of choice plus the ease of reverting to stock. I have run with stock for testing and such. And there are a few that run Franco and others.

Looking forward to the possible update today. Plus my wife will enjoy the undivided attention while my phone loads. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
Okay, that's now freaking me out. What car charger are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Nothing but text which isn't important anyway in the big scheme of things. Thanks for thinking of me though. :)

I'm with Veloslave on this one. There are safeguards against this sort of thing. Actually there are electronic components whose very job is to act like a one way valve to prevent it. I'd say it had to do more with a load being sensed and something waking up more than anything.

Also, the voltage on the USB plug to the phone is 5v so that would mean that even if there was a reverse current, it would need to be stepped back up to 12v to power the fan, etc.

When I get home I'm busting out the multimeter!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Dang.....

Well, luck of the draw turned sour on me.

I flashed the Tiny kernel (wipe cache & davlic) and it booted up and ran just fine... didn't really notice any difference in anything. Tried firing up Maps to check the GPS lock and it wouldn't lock at all... the program finally told me sorry but try again later. Tried a few different settings and nothing.

Decided to restore the TWRP backup I did prior to the Tiny and halfway through the restore (full battery, plugged into laptop) the phone rebooted. When it came back up it is giving me a warning pop up that "unfortunately the process com.google.process.Gapps has stopped" and I say OK and it keeps popping up so I cannot get to the next screen... which behind it is...

THE WELCOME SCREEN... damn

I ignore it for a long time and it switches to "The welcome screen is not responding" OK or ignore so I say ignore so it proceeds to the "Got google?" screen until the stupid above gapps thing keeps popping up again... click OK a hundred times and nothing, just keeps coming back. Try reboot.... same thing.

Trying "power & volume up and down boot right now... wish me luck

EDIT # 1

Got to recovery... wiped cache & davlic, flashed Latest MMuz... same problem, going for the superwipe... sigh...

Superwipe, dev & cache, superwipe, install latest MMuz, reboot, get past welcome, recovery, restore backup

Life is good & GPS is happy again too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
You said halfway through the restore it rebooted? Sounds like you need another trip into recovery to try restoring again. All those warnings back up the theory of an incomplete flash. Sounds like where you're heading anyway.

*fingers crossed*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrew025:
It was a total coincidence... Velo explained it very well. Don't waste your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notstevek:
Mmuzzy, you're awesome. No problems here, no crashes, improved battery life. Only thing can someone create a CDMA to CDMA/lte settings toggle? Thanks again for your awesome work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
It doesn't hurt to break out the multimeter though to check. It was probably a Fluke...

Hey, I was going to let it go but since we have some obvious electronics nerds in here too I couldn't let the multimeter pun go wasted.

Thank you. We'll certainly consider it. I'm trying to get out from a 'bit too much off' weekend right now though. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
I love this rom but have had one lingering wish. I thought I might as well throw it out there to ask. Can someone make a mod to unjoin the ringer and notification volumes please? At night I like to silence the notifications but leave the call notification sound. It used to be stock until Google decided they knew better. ;) It's on Sourcery and bamf but I prefer this stock experience overall.

Much obliged if someone can help me out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] factor0815:
Google has apparently done a deal with Broadcom to use their Bluetooth system moving forward. Hopefully they'll figure this all out, but for now, I'll just have to wait it out.

UPDATE:

I've been dealing with some funky behaviour on the changes I made today. It compiles almost completely then psych! I get dumped to the command prompt without any errors. I could revert but I'm being stubborn. I'm still planning on having an update today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Yeah, so, like clockwork - sod with animations set to 0!

Funny, I was about to send an angry tweet then poof! Black screen. Guess I didn't have to send that tweet after all.

Rom update

December 17,2012

- Clear all apps button in recent apps menu (D4rKn3sSyS)

- Screenshot function in Power Menu (CM)

NOTE: Upgraded hard drives this weekend, redid source tree to merge device trees as much as possible. I tried fooling with some volume control functions and it didn't end up being productive. You'll have to indulge me on the screenshot function on the power menu... I can use that one myself. I'm not sure if I just lack motor skills or my arthritis skewed fingers make it harder to do the 2 button screenshot combo but half the time I only turn down the volume. Thanks for understanding.

I'll keep pluggin away at my science projects. ;)

Good night guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlpineM3:
Sick man!

Just flashed your ROM last night and giving you props. Incredibly stable and fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Haha thanks MMuzzy you're always hard working!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrmidnight:
Running this (again) for a few days now. With 4.2.1 can anyone confirm that the cell broadcasting is working? I haven't gotten any messages yet since this upgrade.

Not saying it isn't working, just wondering
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I think those are only for emergencies. Ik not completely sure though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Does anyone notice sometimes the camera aspect is off? Everyone looks really tall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
I've never received a message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I'll take a look later but I haven't noticed anything like this yet.

I haven't received any either but no events have happened at the level that it last went off in 4.2 either. If you see the settings for it in Settings though the ROM has built it from source and it's fully integrated with it but yes, it's hard to confirm without a way to test it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
To be clear, I don't think there is an issue. There simply hasn't been an issue. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcavoya:
While I always cringe when a post starts with "The one thing that would make this a really great ROM is..." I do actually love the Screenshot option in the Power Menu. I've never liked the feeling that I have to "time my button presses" (like jumping rope) to capture the screen.

My odds of a successful screenshot are worse than yours MMuzzy. I only get it about 33% of the time (the other two times I either turn down the volume or pull up the Power Menu anyway).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
I appreciate that you weighed in on that. I hoping to get a few positive responses on that change but it really does help me with the times I need to do screenshots. I do understand that it isn't necessary or welcome for everyone though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
I believe this phone does NOT work with cell broadcasting, even though the software functionality is there. Either VZW towers do not broadcast to this model phone, or the hardware itself doesn't support it. I've been back and forth with VZW on this (I'm a licensed Skywarn spotter / amateur radio operator), and their solution to my question was to sign up for txt message alerts - I already receive that from a NWS system.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

I'll be holding off on flashing this update - I just don't need it when I can hit power+vol down.

And, actually, you don't need to "time your button presses". You just need to make sure you push and hold the power button FIRST, then hold the vol down button. There's no timing involved at all. Kind of like booting into the bootloader - you hold the vol buttons first, then hold the power button. Try it, you'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
No problem on the update. I understand. As for the cellbroadcastreceiver functioning I don't feel like they broadcast often but I have gotten a handful on the phone in my area.

KO1X here by the way. I've had a license since I was 10 and have my GROL from when I worked for the phone company.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcp770:
I'm glad to have the screen shot option. It will prevent capturing my volume slider all the time. Also I love the clear all feature in recents menu. The mass swipe away animation is cool. All in all home run for minimal yet useful features. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poena:
does anyone else feel like the speaker phone is really quiet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SparkyXI:
That's very interesting. If you've received actual emergency broadcast messages on your i515, then there's something wrong with the towers in the Twin Cities here. Per VZW, the GNex isn't a "supported device", however, if the hardware is capable, I should be getting them too. Maybe another phone call to VZW is in order on that.

K0MLS here, and 73 good sir. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcavoya:
Very funny. You got me. I'll bet I sat here for two minutes pressing the power button first, followed by the volume down button, just to watch my volume bar pop-up each time.

What's the definition of insanity?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czonin:
Flashed the 12/11 build last night and my speaker phone doesn't seem to be working when sending calls. When receiving calls and putting it on speaker it works fine but not when sending them. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidFlory:
I just flashed the 12/17 ROM. I am seeing a light gray background on the two buttons at the top of the "one-finger" and "two-finger" pull-down screens. Makes it hard to read the icons. Any one else seeing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcavoya:
Dirty flashed 12/11 this morning. Placed a speaker phone call -- no problem. Then just out of curiosity, I plugged in my headset during the call and everything works as expected. Sorry, not much help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcampbell:
Mine does this now; hit power (hold it) then volume down leads to ... a down volume. No SS. Looking forward to having an easier way to do this =)

Thanks Mmuzzy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcavoya:
Dirty flashed my second GNex a few moments ago. I don't see any issues on either phone with the status bar, notifications screen, or the quick settings screen. Sorry again.

Edit: I just realized that I could take some screenshots now with my new Power Menu option (thanks MMuzzy!).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ba_hamilton:
Nice update. Not necessary but much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnythan:
Does anyone have a link to a quick primer on how to deal with stuff on the SDcard getting moved after flashing to JB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
I use 720 video setting. When I from picture mode to camera mode the aspect is clearly off. Everything is stretched in the preview window. When I take a video the video plays back with the correct aspect.

I do get a force close when I try to use photo sphere. Why would this be the case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Well basically make sure your recovery is update to date, TWRP or CWM. Your data moved from /data/media to /data/media/0. Basically it's in the /0 folder. It affected things like Titanium Backup for me, I simply pointed to the correct location in preferences and it saw all my backups.

That to me is an indicator of something funky. Did you flash a themed camera or a GAPPs or something? Photosphere isn't FC'ing for most people, I just tried it to confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thesuzukimethod:
had the same thing (/0 folder)..

did you move everything back into the main folder, or did you leave it in the /0 folder? it doesnt bother me at all, I just like to keep things clean (but have been rendered a bit hesitant to move things willy nilly harking back to command line arcINFO's pickiness about info folder locations...haha)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
No. I did a clean flash of the rom. The only thing I did was ADB push my old sdcard contents back to my phone after a full wipe, ex. photos, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnythan:
Well you don't want to move everything back. Trust me, that ends badly ;)

I moved my backup folders and flashing folders back, but left the media and app data where it was. It's frustrating though because it seems every time I flash it makes new folders and moves things into deeper levels. It was kind of a nightmare the first time I tried JB and for now I'm just staying away. I was hoping someone else had written something up on the actual right way to deal with it, and what it really does. Cause I messed mine up pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vicw:
I don't know if there is a ROM available for this purpose, but I'm really happy using the Audio Control app, by Matthew Rice. It will split of the ringer and notification volume levels on your device, and it also includes profile scheduling to control your sound requirements, and provides handy widgets. I just created three profiles on my phone, Daytime, Bedtime, and Silence, with the schedules set daily between Daytime and Bedtime. I can use my widget to instantly switch between them, if necessary, especially to completely Silence the phone reliably with one press.

It is a very well done app, with a great UI. I've been using it for several months, and it hasn't failed me yet. It's still working fine with MMuzzy's 4.2.1. I did go back and adjust the volume settings in my profiles due to the changes to the max levels, but that was all I had to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Ah, another arcinfo casualty. Me too. Well not so much anymore...

Mmuzzy, newest build running quite nicely on a dirty flash. The close all apps button is fantastic. I'm indifferent on the screenshot (never had any problems with power-vol down). I thought it would bother me, but it doesn't. Nice work as always!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vicw:
Great ROM, MMuzzy. I've been using it for a couple of days, now, and it has been flawless so far. Thank you for all of your efforts on our behalf, and for your great support.

The only complication I ran into was TWRP issues due to the 4.2.1 file structure changes. TWRP v 2.2.0 was installed with the ROM, and a backup that I created with it was lost in space, and TWRP couldn't see my earlier backups,

I finally was able to update TWRP to v 2.3.2.1 with the Install OpenRecoveryScript option in the GOO app, and everything looks normal again. I finally found the errant backup I had created with v 2.2.0 in /data/media/TWRP/backups/00000000/filename and in /mnt/shell/emulated/TWRP/backups/0000000/filename. I deleted the first file with Root Explorer, and they both are gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidFlory:
I am going to feel really stupid when someone answers this but here goes....

Where is the "kill all apps" button in the 12/17 build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gotsflat4love:
If you hit recents and it shows you all your activity, there should be something there to kill all. Which basically clears them all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidFlory:
I don't see anything. I do have one of kmagameguy's menus installed. Might that overwrite the option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Thinking out loud...

I think I need to take a step back on the MODs here. I feel like I've done too much 'just one more thing' lately. I also think I'm cornering myself into dependency on them. One of the larger ones I'm having doubts about seeing updated again because the maintainer is in a ROM project now.

Most likely that's why. Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlpineM3:
Fellas, just had a deal breaker - Wireless Tether didn't work for me. Any ideas? Always use SVTP and as much as I wanted it to work, it didn't. Thoughts?!?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rearless:
Still Getting Status 7 Error while trying to install

I am using TWRP and I made sure SYSTEM is unmounted in 'mount/unmount partitions' menu in recovery but I still get a Status 7 error everytime I try to install this. I did a manual wipe and a superwipe.

I did a search on this forum and could not see what my issue is.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmuzzy:
Does the built in tether work for you?

Are you sure you didn't get a bad download?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adbFreedom:
That is 100% why as it replaced your systemui.apk with the one from 11/30. Just to be safe you should always expect any MODs with prior build dates attached to be incompatible with the current ROM. If you are unsure just PM the user that made it to see if it is compatible with the current build. All of my MODs will have a build date attached to the post and file name to avoid confusion and I know kma's are in a folder on his mediafire account under a build date also.
