[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
New build looks good, check out the 2nd post for the changelog. Currently uploading the build and screenshots and will update the 1st post accordingly.

EDIT: Alright, uploaded and good-to-go! I'm heading off to work but I'll try to drop in on the thread for any support during my break. :D

EDIT2: I got a (mobile network) connectivity issue I found that I'm attempting to debug right now, it doesn't happen often and I don't know what triggers it but a reboot seems to fix it until it happens again. So, if you're having a connectivity issue try rebooting to fix it for now.

EDIT3: It looks like there's some changes to AOSP's master (latest) branch that may help not only fix this issue but data connectivity issues as a whole (handoff delays, etc.) I'll be experimenting with them and will post an update if something works out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
New build will be up shortly, mobile network connectivity appears to be much improved! I'm still going to look more into this as I, correct me if I'm wrong, believe it's something not only affecting FML but also other 4.3 ROMs for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro).

EDIT: 1st and 2nd posts updated with new build and changelog for said build, give it a whirl while I get some much needed sleep! I appreciate everybody's interest and feedback, honestly I was just expecting nobody to even look at it and for it to just fall back to the last page of the forum really. I suppose if you set your expectations that low, anything is a win! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modernbummer:
Running this now. So far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christianpeso:
Me as well. MMS works as supposed.Data seems to be working better than regular CM builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Great! Glad to hear everything is working OK, thanks for the feedback. :)

EDIT: Quick update on mobile connectivity here... it looks like what might have been causing the data issue where I had to reboot the other night was tracked down in CM. This is the change proposed to revert a change that was apparently causing issues on the Verizon Galaxy S3 similar to what I described: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/48873/

I'm going to wait to see if this happens again, and if so incorporate that change to see if it fixes it, just in case I might have fixed it with that AOSP merge last night.

EDIT2: Hit the issue again, had to reboot to fix it. I'm going to be reverting that change that supposedly caused this issue and upload a new build with it, however I have to head off to work shortly so it won't be until later tonight unfortunately. Sorry for the inconvenience! If a reboot doesn't fix it a reflash supposedly does, it would only require wiping /system, /cache, and dalvik-cache, so you could leave the /data folder alone to keep your apps and settings and whatnot, just simply reflashing the ROM then (and GApps too, as /system is wiped!).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swarlesbarkely:
Love it so far. An option to center status bar clock would be nice. Also I love custom carrier labels because I hate Verizon haha so I wouldn't mind seeing that available

Also, is there a reason you can't just wipe the two caches when updating? I just ask because most ROMs are that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and will look into adding the centered status bar clock and custom carrier label. I remember those from previous CM versions and liked it as well.

While wiping the two caches would probably work, I just prefer a full /system wipe because if any files are renamed/moved/deleted they'll still have the old crust left behind which could lead to problems. The /system partition shouldn't really have to be messed with anyways; if there is something you customize in there yourself you can let me know and I'll see what I can do about incorporating it.

In short, you can wipe just the 2 caches and flash, however if you run into an issue after doing that I'd prefer that you test it again with a /system wipe as well.

BTW, I just got home from work, very long night... I'm gonna get a build with the hopeful fix for mobile data issues up and then probably call it a night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
New build is up! Check out the changelog and flash away. ;)

I also made a note in the OP of the only wiping the 2 caches thing that swarles mentioned above. :)

EDIT: Yikes, looks like I just ran into yet another issue with mobile data. I'll keep a link in the OP to the build from yesterday in-case others have the same issue while I try to sort it out.

EDIT2: I may have discovered a big reason for why we Verizon Galaxy Nexus users have had mobile data issues with 4.3, I'll do some more investigating and if what I've discovered is correct I will share what I can with the community here. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Here's an update on how development is going:

I tried to see what's going on with the camera but wasn't able to pin down anything definitively yet... my debugging skills are still a little rusty! Something that had been bugging me was that this was using the stock AOSP kernel, so I've worked on getting an "inline-built" kernel like how CM and other ROMs do things, I think I've put that together and the next build will be based on Fancy Kernel like the previous 4.3.x versions of FML were. Who knows, maybe the camera just needed a fresh build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Threw up a new build, check out the changelog for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
downloading now.. her for me Google wallet tap doesn't want to work.. and because of that I always have a location indicator x_X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
I'm too tired to flash right now, are the graphical glitches patched up at all? They might be impossible to fix because of incompatibility with the TI OMAP processor (my thesis)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I haven't improved the graphical glitches from the first build, but honestly it's something I can live with at this point. There are some more important things to address first, in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
I read on the shiny thread that the graphical glitches are at the root of the reboots. Also, fairct has a working camera....food for thought?

Thanks for all your work & good luck with your classes.

P. S. I had directory issues (e.g. custom ringtones weren't available). Also, sms disappear after a data restore from tibu. They show up for a microsecond & then the screen comes up blank.

P. P. S. Gapps link in op needs updating:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
I'm having issue all of a sudden of turning off my phones screen with your latest build.. =/ for right now I have it set for 15 second auto turn off which works.. holding down for power menu and turning on screen works... gonna try stopping cache and see if that helps

EDIT: do now it works without a wipe off cache.. very odd... something u should look into just in case tho
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Thanks for the info. I think Titanium Backup might need some updating for 4.4? Did you have SMS messages backed up to an XML, or just the regular way? Now that I think about it the XML backup might be a pro feature... hmm. I did update the gapps link now, thank you.

I've had this pop up occasionally with all of my 4.3.1 builds as well, and I think I noticed it in the first 4.4 build too but I don't totally remember. It's really random and usually fixes itself in about a minute or so, but I figured it was just something common that happens with all ROMs. I will look into it more as I'm guessing you weren't having this issue with whatever ROM you were using before mine, without people sharing info like you are it can be hard to know what's wrong, so I appreciate all the feedback you've given me thus far. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
not a problem.. I may be moving on with the nexus 5 at the end of the year, but I know there still be a good chunk of people who want to continue on with this mighty phone and we plainly need to get it to a usable daily driver.. that certainly won't happen without feedback
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
I do have the pro version, but did it the normal way. I think you're right on the updating idea. Just weird that my conversations would show for a second & then disappear.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fawxy:
Sorry if this has already been asked, but what happened to the Sprint version you made a thread about earlier?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
New build up, GPS and Camera are fixed and working! :)

That wasn't me, I PM'd the author of that thread asking him if he does get a ROM built to change the name. I don't mind if people use my source code on GitHub, that's why it's there, if they acknowledge me as a contributor even better, but I don't like them using the FML name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
u sure GPS is working? I'm sitting in maps and it not doing crums

EDIT: of course it decides to work after my post.. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I think the...

Build: Changed model number from "AOSP on Toro" to "Galaxy Nexus".

...from the changelog is already showing from your post there, haha. On your Nexus 7 it'd say "Sent from my AOSP on Tilapia using Tapatalk", and I bet had I not made that change it'd say "Sent from my AOSP on Toro using Tapatalk". :p The thing that made me notice it was from using MTP, it would always say "Galaxy Nexus" with Jellybean, and all of a sudden I'm getting "AOSP on Toro" and I'm thinking 'jeez, that's gotta go... so annoying'. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
yes well on my tablet it's a build I did with literally nothing changed from aosp x.x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] II12yanII:
im trying version two and i cant get data to work. wifi works but but not mobile data. is anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brabbit2244:
i am having the same issue. 3g works but if i set preference to lte i get nothing. on a side note with this new version my reboots have stopped!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
dont know why but flashing no matter which way does not work at all on my phone. any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I haven't messed with toggling between LTE and 3G and things like that. The thing with the VZW Galaxy Nexus is that the radios don't actually treat the Android "LTE" mode as LTE, but instead they use the "Global" setting for enabling LTE.

Only thing I can think of is that you aren't using the latest CWM recovery.

So, in other news... adding on to my 4.4 To-Do list is making the "Mobile Networks" screen give the proper choices for enabling LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
Nature always trumps tech.

Have fun, bro. Don't worry, we crackheads will be here when you get back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Thanks for the support guys! I'm going dark in a few hours... :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
Is anyone having issues with the recent whatsapp update? Mine said package file was invalid. I uninstalled, and reinstalled. Same result. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KShion619:
No I haven't as of now, even with my Gear Live paired, id try backing up then resetting to see if the issue persists
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
Hey all, I'm in a dire need for help. In still unable to get my wistful whatsapp back up. I uninstalled, deleted the whatsapp folder from my SD, and tried to reinstall. Still tells me the package file is invalid. I've done this on two sperate builds and to no avail on either. I'm currently on 7/16.

Somebody please point me in the right direction!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thetakerfan:
Are you, or have you ever been, on ART? I dont use whatsapp but I remember it having problems with ART, so might want to look in to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
You are my savior! I never even thought of that, even though I had whatsapp problems back when I switched to art. But subsequent builds worked... then stopped suddenly.

Thank you so much for reminding me of this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Hey guys! I got back to civilization Thursday night but didn't get home until Saturday night. Been catching up on some stuff since then.

My first day in the Boundary Waters I came closer to dying than I ever have in my entire life: we capsized! :eek: We hadn't even been on the water for more than a few hours yet! If we weren't wearing life jackets, we probably wouldn't have survived. My dad lost all his fishing tackle and one of the three fishing poles we brought, as well as various other things like his camera and some flashlights and whatnot. All totaled up it was probably $400 worth of stuff, at least. :( Long story short, we persevered and stayed out there 4 of the 5 days we had originally planned on. I don't think many people would've kept going and not just gotten the hell out of there, not sure if it's because we're tough, stubborn, crazy, or a combination of the three! :laugh: I'm planning on typing out the whole story and submitting it to some websites for the Boundary Waters and stuff like that.

In regards to FML:

I'm going to try and get this kernel issue fixed ASAP. I really don't want to scrap using the updated kernel altogether, so I'm going to try updating it in chunks and having you guys test various kernel builds until we find where it breaks. I'll just upload the boot images instead of a full ROM zip so it's just like, 5MB to download instead of 170MB...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminal13:
Welcome back. You officially have the only ROM with flashing for the galaxy nexus. I've flashed many others, even official cm nightly builds. Must say android L theme is pretty cool. Have you seen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ktetreault14:
Where is this theme you speak of
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminal13:
Well I flashed the cm official nightly and downloaded it from the play store... But you have to have a rom with the theme engine in it. It is pretty cool.......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] auad:
[OFF-TOPIC] - Thank you!

Just a quick post to say a big thanks to MWisBest. You extended the life of my Galaxy Nexus for more than I could expected and I got very happy every time you posted an updated version of this ROM. I finally moved to Nexus 5 and will use my GNexus as GPS only, so I'll not follow this thread anymore, but your work is very appreciated and I wish you the best! Good luck in your life, you touch all of us with your talent!

Go for the world!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Well great. Phone is fried yet again. I'm thinking there must be something wrong with a part in the phone that's causing the whole thing to just fry, so at this point my best bet is to just replace it altogether rather than get another new motherboard which will just fry itself in a month again. Not sure when, or if, that will happen. I'll keep you guys updated. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AquilaDroid:
Now that's a bummer! Never heard of that happening before, hope you get it sorted out. I recently switched my G-Nex to Omni to (finally) get a good LTE connection, and really like it!

From my Nexus 5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dlabadie:
Thank You MWisBest and all on this board. Upgrading to the HTC One M8 today. It's been a fun ride with the GNex, OmniROM & FML!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoJoDaClown:
Well, I'm not going to force you to stay on a GNex, but you can get a refurb for $82 for the next 9 days.

Groupon Deal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
By replace I meant with another Galaxy Nexus, not a different phone altogether.

If ANYBODY has a Galaxy Nexus (Verizon model aka "toro") they're willing to part with for cheap or better yet free, e.x. upgraded to a different phone and don't need theirs, please contact me. There are devs here who have people send them brand new devices to dev for, and in comparison I'm just asking for help getting a 2 years, 10 months old device. :( I don't even care if the screen has a million cracks, as long as it boots and you can see Android on the display that's good enough for me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminal13:
Too bad I don't have another device I'd give you mine.....I'm looking to get a one plus invite to get a one plus(stupid) but I'll be with out a device and my new job kind of demands a smart phone... This thing is mint too.. Been under an armor suit screen protector and carbon outer skin for almost two years. And two additional OEM stock batteries, og packaging, charging brick (no usb cable it broke) and og headphones. Runs like a raped ape. Jus sayin.... And has your work already on it. FML. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Mine is/was pretty mint as well. Pretty nice screen protector on it, an XDA-Developers TPU case from Cruzerlite. Screen doesn't have a single scratch, no burn-in or banding or anything like that either. However, the screen seems to be the most likely cause of this motherboard frying BS I have going on here... both times it died on me the screen scrambled a bit first and then just shut off. With the screen being such a closed off assembly, if something were to get in there somehow it could probably cause some trouble. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminal13:
Could be a short causing an over draw of current through the board.... That sucks. Have you checked swappa, I know these are still fetching like a hundred bucks, but sounds like you may be looking cheaper
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I checked Swappa as well as eBay. Swappa's best price was $80, eBay had some questionable ones with a number of days of bidding left too. I need that $80 for my gas tank to get to school and back soon... even $40 is probably pushing it on what I can afford for the phone right now.

I had another look at my fried motherboards, I noticed there was some sort of bubbling on the TWL6030 chip, which handles quite a bit of the power management last I checked. So yeah, something's frying that in particular.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminal13:
Oh brother... Wish I could help you out better man.. Least I could do after all... Your work has been running my phone for a while now...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
OK so I've determined that $60 in parts will be what I need to get things going again. Somebody was nice enough to send a $30 donation already, and I could probably come up with $10 to $20 myself. If a couple people are willing to donate $5 I'd be good to go, if needed I could repay them whenever my finances get in better shape. :(

Here's a list of all the different parts in the phone and an approximate price on them if I need them or an explanation as to why I wouldn't need them.

- Motherboard: needed, ~$15

- Rear Camera: not needed, an extra was included with the motherboard I got a month ago.

- Front Camera and Sensors: not needed, an extra was included with the motherboard I got a month ago.

- Screen (includes the glass, AMOLED screen, and touch digitizer): needed, ~$40 for a near-flawless screen or ~$30 for a screen with a bit of wear and tear

- Earpiece Speaker: not needed, an extra was included with the motherboard I got a month ago.

- Vibrator+Speakerphone+HeadphoneJack housing thingamajig: needed, ~$10

- MicroUSB+Microphone: needed, ~$5

- SIM Tray+eMMC: not needed, I have a 16GB eMMC and a 32GB eMMC as well, the 16 was in the original motherboard when that fried and the 32 was in the new one when that fried so this part can't be the problem.

- Rear Housing: not needed, however it'd be nice to have which is about ~$8. There's some contacts on there, three of which are for the pogo/dock pins, however these are all in pristine condition and just to be certain I'll be cleaning mine with isopropyl alcohol (92%, I've used this on computer processors to clean off thermal paste, it's fantastic stuff for electronics cleaning!).

- Battery: not needed, I have the official stock battery and the official extended battery and the stock battery was in when the motherboard fried this time and the extended one was in when the original motherboard fried so that can't be the issue.

- Power and Volume Buttons: not needed, how the hell could these fry anything, it's not like they really draw power!

^That's a list of (nearly?) every part by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I've received enough in donations to cover the entire cost of fixing my phone. I cannot thank all of you guys enough.

I've run into quite a few bumps in the road since I began accepting donations. (for those who don't know this, I didn't even accept donations until April of this year, and FML is nearly a year old!) First it was car trouble, I was in quite a bind so I reached out to FML users for help. I was hoping I could maybe get half the cost of the car parts paid with donations, instead it was all covered with the donations. Then I asked if I could just get a few bucks to buy some soda and snacks as that's what helps keep me going when I'm working on FML, and instead I got enough to pay for soda, snacks, some healthier foods as well, and even gas, for the entire month. Then it was my phone dieing the first time, which somebody covered the cost of a new motherboard and new eMMC for me. And recently it was again my phone dieing, this time needing quite a bit more work and money to fix. I just feel so undeserving of all of this! :crying: It's like these past few months life has just crashed down on top of me, and you guys have been there to help pick up the pieces for me...

Right now I'm shopping around to make sure I'm making the best purchases possible on the parts. Well, actually, right now I'm going to bed, as it's 4AM, but tomorrow (er, today?) I'll be looking around for parts, after I thank each donor personally.

I hope that I can put together something special for the one year FML anniversary on the 31st as a thank you of sorts!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AquilaDroid:
Great story which shows how wonderful the XDA community is! What's the difference in cost between the parts and a new phone? That might be a better way to go if possible (and with a few more of us helping out...).

Really appreciate what you're doing on such a limited budget!
