The number only 3 tiles per row makes it difficult for me to use daily although I loved cm version of 4.1.

Can this number of tiles per row be changed in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Are you talking about the home screen or apps drawer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergini:
I think he's talking about the quick tiles, when you push the notification down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
You can add extra tiles through settings-system. But I haven't included the option to change the layout.

tried someone AK256 vs stock!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nickamina:
The thread has barely been up a day! How could anyone have tested the built-in kernel thoroughly against AK?

If you're interested, test it yourself and let us all know how it compares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m0bstr:
How can I change the app button back to stock??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] un.droid:
looks very promising, will deg try. sentinel, are there any plans implementing PA UI options in future?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ledoweb:
Don't want to break the entusiasm here, but for me Sentinel isn't working very well...when I first rebooted the phone after a full wipe + ROM flashing, the device was extreeeemely laggy and slow, everything was choppy and unresponsive, even the launcher transitions were not smooth. I let it settle for half an hour, and nothing changed, I rebooted twice...always worse. So I decided to install AK, and now things are noticeably better BUT always a bit slow if compared to other roms using Linaro. Even worse, the adviced optimizations in the OP seem to be missing: Chrome is slower and choppier here than in any other rom I've ever tried. Tapatalk v4 is a buttery smooth app, this is the only rom where it lags (transitions are VERY laggy).

Don't get me wrong: I'm reporting my experience only to help you improving this rom, since it would be the best option to suit my needs. But please consider that I'm good enough at Android-Rom-Flashing & Co. to understand that problems are not on my specific phone side. I swear it's gonna be faster soon!

p.s.: bootanimation is broken, it shows the first two frames and then...black. An user flashing this rom for the first time may think the phone just shut off! ;P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dizzy1k:
Yeah bootanimation is broken but try franco latest kernel ... flawless!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nickamina:
You need to replace trebuchet with the one from stock CM10.1

[MENTION=3114651]ledoweb[/MENTION] other than the boot animation thing, I've not experienced any of that :/ running great with Franco currently
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ghelfalath:
Sorry to hear about that.. I had the same problem but not with Sentinel.. I tried at least 3 different ROMs at the time and no good... The only thing that worked was revert it to stock and flash everything back again..

About the bootanimation, you sure are right. Didn't noticed at the first time since it was so fast.. After that i rebooted it 2 or 3 times but didn't even looked while it was at it :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Nice one. I'll look at it for the next version :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix the boot animation for the next build. It should be an easy fix.

As for the speed issue, did you do a completely fresh install? I ask because no-one else I've spoken to has had an issue with anything you've reported.

Not trying to pass the blame, but I want to make sure we are comparing apples with apples.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
I've listed the boot animation issue under "Bugs" in the OP.

Consider it a teething issue :) it will be fixed in the next build. I probably screwed something up when I re-sized the frames.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sym_m:
after i see black screen i think my phone is die but after 1 min its back to live :laugh:

Keep it up one of the best roms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ghelfalath:
I truly didn't notice that while testing.. Shame on me :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dizzy1k:
Sentinel plus Franco is pure awesome!! smooth plus baterry ! That is my daily driver for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamczyk777:
Can some1 say something about battery life? Maybe post some screenshots. PLZ!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kezn715:
i awalys stick with latest ak , and right now i pair with ak 256 :) , for me i am quite statisfied with the battery life and this rom is fast and rock solid...

hope the screenshot , show something , trust me giv this rom a flash and u will like it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamczyk777:
I will give it a flash, maybe i will test 3-4 cycles. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
anyone know why this happen? i see the icons are stacked and so does the bubbles. i haven't changed anything yet..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nickamina:
I can verify this issue. I'm also experiencing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dizzy1k:
same here but i dont want to change them ..so no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ghelfalath:
Didn't change the ring too..

Does it prevent any changes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrMosoani:
how do you reboot to recovery? There's no reboot to recovery under Power menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eugene1991:
Tick "Advanced Reboot Option" in Developer's Settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Is everyone seeing this same thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Drifter_:
I see it to.

My feedback about the ROM is that is better then CM, but need some polish. I'm terms of speed I have lag when press the home button, when I press it the animation is choppy and take about 1 sec to the phone react and go back to the home screen. Besides that the ROM is good and stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dizzy1k:
i had lag with stock kernel, with franco works sooo smooth and fast and every circle i got 3.5+ baterry screen time on! I have soo good baterry drain over night with wi fi on - 2 percent/8h
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Ok I'll check it out for next version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kezn715:
can't wait for the next version :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grantith:
Is it possible to change the navbar height in this rom?

I've been using it for about half a day now, and I'm pretty impressed so far. Everything is super smooth and speedy. Looking forward to see how battery life goes over the next few days. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing this to the Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dizzy1k:
pretty nice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Drifter_:
Stock kernel or AK?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dizzy1k:
franco 378
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kezn715:
after few of rom flashing , i still come back to this rom , juz feel that this rom is much way better :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Thanks for the feedback :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
the new CM10.1 has the animation played with ,, will the new Sentinel rom have animation played with ,, or stock animation ?

[MENTION=246344]sentinel[/MENTION]

Is it possible to have a mod that turns quick tiles from 3 tiles power row to 4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Thanks man, but unfortunately only the center clock works. I still have three tiles per row. Can you please look at it again?

This mod would simply be awesome .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
sorry , this is the right one :P

4 tile + center clock

tell me if its working :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Fantastic. If there was a Power menu tile, then the Rom is prefect in every detail for my needs.

What kernel do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
i dont use this rom now ,,, had a little problem with it ,, but i used to use it with franco kernel

i'm waiting for the next release for this rom :) hope it will be soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Ok, got it. Better delete the first attachment cause, it will confuse the rest.

Is it possible to have a Power Menu quick tile?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Sounds like clutter to me. Easier to just use the power button, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
You are correct. My request, is based in the fact to reduce the pressing of buttons in our nexus. It will make our device live longer. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
any news from the dev about new version ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] karta1993:
Thanks about the rom.

It runs very smooth in my galaxy nexus with old ak cylon 801

Anyway to make the menu button in launcher like the stock one? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
Any chance of getting the "Last App" option in the next update?

And also the option to modify the navigation keys and define long press behaviours? Last app as back button?

Otherwise, a very good ROM. Though I do have some issues with stability, has randomly rebooted on me a couple of times already. And then the phone stopped working all of a sudden (full bars but won't connect).

hi

I´m not able to view certain folders and photos when connecting usb in my pc..

I have done this step "Settings" - "About Tablet" and tap on "Build Number" repeatedly to unlock "Developer Options" "Developer Options" and enable "Android Debugging" but still can´t access the applications.

I´m not understand why this happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Did you come from a non 4.2.2 ROM?

If so, please read the FAQ linked in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brucar:
yes i´m come from a 4.2.2 rom (simply rom)

when I select usb debugging in options developers my phone is not recognized on my computer....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
You said before you could only see some files. Now you're saying you can't connect at all. Please be more specific.

You may have incorrect drivers installed. Also try toggling USB debugging on and off and rebooting the phone and PC.

I need to go to bed now. it's 1:25AM here, but I'll check in in the morning and see how you went.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brucar:
when I select usb debugging options developers in the phone is not recognized on my computer, but when this option is not selected the phone is recognized, but are folders that are in the memory of the phone, which does not appear, for example the last photos and programs which i installed

I try to install the drivers...

thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Can you see your files if you go in to a cm file manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brucar:
Problem solved....i reinstal the drivers and now worked fine.

Thanks for your attention and this great rom !

ahaaaaaaaa ,,, will wait for the final release , which i think it wont be late ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majamee:
I really love your rom, the only huge problem I ran into is, that it basically takes forever to get a GPS fix here in Germany.

Is there any way you can help to improve this behavior because it renders my Google Maps navigation near useless.

If you need somone to test any changes of the GPS behavior of test builds, I am glad to assist :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Download "FasterFix" from the play store. It will probably help you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredrikaw:
I really want to test out your ROM. I haven't found any for a long time now that matches my needs...

Downloading right now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majamee:
Thank you very much for the hint, but unfortunately this seems not to solve the problem. I used the tool, confirmed that it was working by checking the gps.conf with a viewer, but still even after half an hour still "searching for GPS" in Google Maps.

Reboot was also done ;) Any more advise please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pottedplant73:
I'm a little taken aback by the overall speed of this ROM. After using so many crappy GNex ROMs with stability and performance issues (thanks, kangers), it's really refreshing to use something made by someone who knows what they're doing. I haven't tested GPS yet or bothered flashing different kernels, but superficially, this seems like a great ROM. I'd have to say keep up the good work. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Sorry. I don't know. Solar Flare maybe? Are other devices able to get a fix?

Did you dirty flash from another ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majamee:
Thank you very much for further input. It got a little better, but only outside i am able to get a fix at all, have to test it in car.

It was a clean install and directly from the beginning I had problems with GPS, the only change I have made was to install Fancy Kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115590

Nevertheless I will make a fresh install as soon as the update of SentinelROM is available and report ;)

The kernel shouldn't have any negative influence on GPS, does it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
It shouldn't do, but it's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nigne:
What kernel do you guys use?

Skickat från min Galaxy Nexus via Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majamee:
I tried nearly all of them and now I stick with the Fancy Kernel.

It is great! Good battery life, better colors preset for the display, smooth, frequent updates...

(Kernels it tried: Franco, AK, Linaro and I am sure I have forgotten a few more)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
is there any sound modification on this rom , or it has the same sound level on cm10.1 ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sym_m:
Use nexus loader patch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
i'm asking if there is one already installed within the rom ,, cuz i was on cm10.1 , and then flashed this one , the sounds is louder and not clear sometimes , that's why i'm asking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sym_m:
no the rom is like cm10.1 without sound mod

Will you add halo?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Not unless CM add it to their source. It eats battery and causes lag on older devices.

+1 !

been noticing battery drain whenever i use it :( ;)

Indeed, the Halo is a good idea for Android phone, but I prefer the battery life performance more.

Certainly is. I'm going to skip 4.70 because a few devices claimed better performance with 4.60, and pick it up again on 4.80
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
dude , i'm a flashoholic ,, do u understand the urge that u need to flash something , well ur rom wont allow me to flash anything else

Sentinel196,

I'm breaking all of my personal records since the past few days.

As a known and recognised Anonymous Flashaholic, I've not changed my ROM since you've launched this amazing ROM for our maguro devices. That's over a month now!! Even my girlfriend and friends are overwhelmed with this change you made in me!! :)

Once again, Thank You and all your hard work.

You're the man!

Cheers

Haha! Glad I could be of assistance to you and your GF :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smmndchaos:
I have a few questions. I know it said not to restore apps and data from another ROM so I didn't. What about just apps with their data (I really just want to keep game data and whatnot)? I know backing up and restoring system data and stiff like that is bad so I never do. And if I can't backup my apps and restoring them on this ROM, what about backing up what I have on this ROM and restoring them on another? I'd just like to know for future reference, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ghelfalath:
There's no problem as long as don't backup/restore system apps. About user apps and data it's ok I guess.

That's what I do everytime and no worries till now.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
Exactly right. Apps and data are generally OK, but don't restore anything from the system partition.

Basically, always full wipe if you're having problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renuk11:
Dude, go get a life. If you are a flashaholic go to some other thread. Leave this lovely clean thread alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smmndchaos:
Ok that's what I thought and was hoping for, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
The reason I haven't updated is becasue 4.60 has been the most stable. The guys on v4.70 and 4.80 are reporting more bugs than they did on 4.60, and not really any other benefit.

Would you prefer I released buggy updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renuk11:
Nope sentinel. We prefer a stable version. Take your time to make it perfect and the best. And your Rom is just the best. Very smooth. Just wanted to know which custom kernel do you think would work best with your Rom? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
I have no idea. I would think my included kernel would be best, but I don't have a maguro so I can't test myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powers88:
Ive been running this Rom since it was initially released 23/5/13 and I have yet to post a review of my findings so here we go.

The Good:

-Battery life is AMAZING. I know some people get really good battery life regardless but the ~11hrs I get with this is almost double what I have gotten with any other rom. Stock Kernel and cpu settings.

-The Rom is extremely smooth, including the recent apps tab which seems to be a problem with every other rom, even without rebooting for a few days.

Only have a fairly minor bug to report but it can get annoying:

-When battery is low the low battery notification pops up continuously. Although this could have been because my phone was having a hard time recognizing when it was being charged but I thought I would put it out there.

Ideally I would like to see more customization options but only if it does not affect the Roms stability and performance.

Thanks for the great rom Sentinel. Another flashaholic has been cured.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
Anyone know any nav bar dpi mod suitable for this rom?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ghelfalath:

I miss flashing something but I can live without it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] an430:
Keep waiting.................for the next update coming! how many guys is doing same with me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nickamina:
Same. There's been a stable release from CM since this ROM was last updated as well as two high priority exploit patches. As stable as this ROM was, an update at least to bring it up to date with the latest stable CM 10.1.2 source would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ghelfalath:

[MENTION=2450054]Sentinel196[/MENTION] Bud, has Sentinel Rom been discontinued for Maguro?

i've been following the FB page to see updates, and i think all the devices have been updated, and no mention for Maguro. :(

i've been using Sentinel on my previous devices (Sensation, S2), batt life and smoothness is just 2nd to none.

Was pumped to see Sentinel is on Maguro too, but i think this has been discontinued. Can you confirm mate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sentinel196:
I'm compiling the test rom for maguro as we speak.
