[MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION] is obviously swamped. Let's be thankful that he's working hard for us and let him be. We're all excited, but let's not post about how we're upset b/c he didn't get us a build. I'd rather he spend time with family than drudge through Android. Be patient, Daniel-San.

Rush, I posted I'm bummed .... not impatient nor upset. Good things

Always having to choose launcher

EDIT: Thanks for the ideas - but I figured out this is not a ROM issue. It seems to be from an app "GPS over BT" which is interfering with my Home/Launcher settings and happens with the base CM11 too.

I just setup the stable 4.4.4 (omni-4.4.4-20140705-toro-FML.zip) with pa-google gapps - modular mini apps. Things seem to work great.

The only (very minor) issue I'm running into is that it won't remember which launcher I want after reboot. Always asking me "google now" or "launcher3" after reboot. Even though I say always. Then it works fine until next reboot.

Any obvious reasons this might happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Personally I just delete Launcher3 upon any fresh install of a rom. You could just freeze the launcher3.apk with titanium backup and then the device would be forced to only use GNL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
I figured out that if you manually delete the GoogleTTS apk from the system/app folder and then install Google TTS engine from the play store, it works and no more force closes.

Video Playback

First off, thank you so much for this ROM! I'm an app developer who still sees a lot of ROM development as being a "black box," happy someone does it but no idea how to do it myself.

I wanted to point at, at least for me on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus running FML 11/16 Android 5.0, I'm having issues with video playback. YouTube and TED don't seem to work, the spinner will keep going for a while until they eventually stop and give some error. Not sure why, because Chrome's video playback sort of works (it often crashes or stops, from what seems to be OutOfMemoryExceptions).

Also, in the interim before the Camera is fixed, does anyone know a Flashlight app that works with the GNex on 5.0? They all seem to ANR (Android Not Responding), then I have to kill them.

Thanks,

Tom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I'm currently using Nexus Flashlight Widget by 45 Studios.

I would think that most flashlight apps would work though, provided you don't try to use the ROM's built-in flashlight toggle. It will lock up the flash (maybe the whole camera), a reboot gets it working again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
New build should be out either Monday or Tuesday. There will be a plethora of fixes and improvements. Sorry about being away from XDA for a while, just been really busy with school and any time I have for FML has been spent on dev stuff rather than the XDA threads!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arigr:
i'm excited..but not sure whether i should say so..oops nvm...but MWisBest....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
By any chance did you get the camera working? Only thing left I've really been holding out for. Either way, thanks for all your hard work thus far.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoxRedEye:
Right on! I'm excited for the new build!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
It's back to where it was with the KitKat beta builds. The issue was actually with this new camera API added in Lollipop, and not DDK 1.9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
I know you're still plenty busy with the actual coding, but if there's much to say about how much the new API adds (or doesn't add) any functionality to our hardware I'd love to read it when you get the chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Looking forward to the changelog and what you've cooked up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I haven't actually implemented support for this newer camera API at all, and I'm not sure if I can. Right now we're just telling Android that we don't support the new camera API and to use the older one instead. Why Android can't just detect that we don't support the new API on its own is what baffles me the most to be honest.

You can read about the newer camera API here: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html#Media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
So I can use the newest camera, just with the old Kit Kat back end? Like how I have the most recent Google camera on LS right now basically?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monochrome83:
I've run into the same issue, however, to expound upon that, it will still let me cast that video to my Chromecast, which is kinda weird. Not sure if that makes a difference dev, but loving the ROM so far, my kids aren't impressed that their play phone has lollipop before it hits anything besides newer Nexi :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlvlawrence:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Well, all at once anyways .... hehehe, I'm awaiting VZ as well, but I think they are going to screw us again and just not sell it, forcing us to get thru the play store. Why google plays with them at all anymore is beyond me, and if it occurs, I'll more than likely leave and go to ATT (which I had back before SP's came out, and Cingular before that)

On another note:

How might these changes assist us all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Totally understandable,I hate paying so much for phones which is why I still daily my gnex (and droid eris until that) as well. I got one retail because I have grandfathered in unlimited data that I can't give up. It's expensive, but either way everyone on this forum gets their money out of a device, that's for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ataris_kid:
Just FYI, the one from T-Mobile works perfectly on VZW as well.. I bit the bullet and tried it this past weekend. Great success! Dear lord I love me some Nexus 6.

I do miss my Galaxy Nexus though.. That phone has been through a lot. :crying:

I hear ya. I jumped on edge back in July and picked up a g3. My girlfriends 2013 moto x just stopped working so I put her on edge as well and got her the new moto x. We're on the 10gb share everything plan and with both phones it's $160 per month. I can't really complain.

I cant afford a new phone and since i was in a family plan i was never given upgrade options, so thank you so so so much for keeping my old pos phone relevant. it means a lot to me <3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] terminal13:
Hate to troll but I thought Verizon screwed up the gnex so badly that Google said screw it, no nexus for you. I would love an n6 but too much dough right now. Almost gave up on my g3 then the Rom wheel started flowing and even a modified stock kernel. [emoji1]

I got the builds done yesterday but ended up getting very sick and throwing up etc. I'm still not feeling particularly fantastic but the builds will be up some time today. Trust me though, the wait will be worth it...

Thanks for the notice, get better soon dude, and I'll be sure to try it out after I get home!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meth0dGSX:
Hope your feeling better MWisBest, thanks again for all your hard work on this aging phone that just keeps on ticking like the energizer bunny. Can anyone give me some tips on completely switching over from CM11 and his recovery to TWRP and this ROM? This is my only phone and i really don't want to mess it up, although it seems fairly simple from the directions in the first post i just don't want to miss anything. Thanks in advance <3

Installed 5.0.1 on my GNEX and I can't send MMS. I even tried the Slim APN zip file.

Suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Um what rom are you running that is 5.0.1 because this one has not released the new update yet and the 11/16 build is 5.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ataris_kid:
He could have built FML himself.. The source tree is now on 5.0.1. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KShion619:
MMS currently doesn't work on any known build of Lollipop on the GNex, including the XenonHD build I tried building

Side note: I'm noticing a LOT more interest in building from source than last years KitKat dilemma, awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Well as far as recovery, you can switch it up by obtaining the latest TWRP from here:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/toro

and flash it in your recovery to switch.

Down the ROM and GApps to the phone first, and after you switch recoveries, you can then follow the OP to flash the ROM, GApps, etc.

Note that I haven't personally tested it on my Galaxy Nexus yet as I'm at work and I only have my Nexus 6 with me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Just out of curiosity, what is the problem you guys are experiencing with MMS? I was able to receive an MMS the one time I tested it out - I really don't use text messaging, so I can't say whether it was just a fluke, but it seems to work on my end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oman0123:
MMS just doesn't work. At least for 99.999999% of people that have tried. ( you would be the .00001%) :).

Once that is fixed it will be all systems go for me........Until big red frees that wonderful whale.

I heard a rumor that it will drop the 13th.

Only a month behind everybody else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DBISGOD:
Running 5.0.1 and the keyboard crash seems resolved and i can now record videos with no problems. Great job. Keep up the amazing work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KShion619:
Is it just me, or is the memory issue fixed? im not running the gapps yet, but memory usage seems really low
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Hmm, I've received MMS's without problems on 5.0 - group text messages from some iphone users actually. I didn't realize it wasn't supposed to work.

In other news, my phone sometimes downloads my Gmail even though I have mobile data turned off. Not that I care terribly, it just seems really odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe the MMS issue people are having is with receiving MMS while on WIFI. I rarely use wifi as I have an unlimited data plan, but that sounds like it might be the issues people are having.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
That's a problem on and off even on 4.4.4 so it makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oman0123:
Don't do this to me. 4.3 Commotio is a champ on every aspect. But 5.0....I don't think I can resist.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
My guess is that it has to do with having two networks connected simultaneously, as I think Verizon only allows MMS to go through mobile data and not Wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jguerdat:
Check out Verizon Messages+. MMs over wifi on any device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urphonesux:
Been running this for the past few hrs and so far have seen no reason for this not to be my daily driver. MMS appears to be working fine using hangouts for messaging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
FML. I ended up getting sicker and have been laying on the couch for the majority of the last 12 or so hours. I now have homework to do for class tomorrow... or uh, today. After class I'll get the new builds up.

BTW, not everything is on my GitHub just yet, and I have a pretty slick GApps package in the works as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urphonesux:
Every so often i hear what I assume is the speakers turning on. Kind of an audible pop.

Any app that uses the camera api (google goggles, flashlight, etc.) won't work. The camera app works fine tho

Interesting. Baking it in... what were the issues that they were having and was hit with the latest version of superSU?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1458:
I got charged a $1

EDIT: I just got off the phone. Said it's a shipping fee. Eh, whatever
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akademix:
Has anybody gotten the battery already? I only say because the shipping method says "pick up in store, ship accessories". There wasn't an option to have a different shipping address.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid_JD:
How does this free battery thing work? I'm not seeing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
guys it's OK to wander off topic but I think we've gone too far overboard..

was messing with the current build and i have to say it's smooth and it feels stable.. of course I am still running into graphical tearing which I feel like is the last issue..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Looks like we emptied out Sprint of its inventory! I don't even see the battery listed for full price either!!

Regarding the fit of the back cover, shouldn't be an issue for me as I have the XDA CruzerLite TPU case. I'm planning on carrying around both batteries as well.

Back on topic here... I have some school stuff to take care of before I can do any dev work, and I'll be starting with a 4.4-compatible TWRP build once I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
also just checked superuser, working.. I'm surprised tho since I thought only supersu works for 4.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stebomurkn420:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
I agree, will be keeping it as a daily driver.. and I have ran into a few freezes but it's way better than before

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

ran into another issue.. trying to install tapatalk pro and it kernel panics and reboots
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Question, has anybody gotten the freezes after unlocking the phone and then nearly immediately opening an app (for me it's usually the Phone app)? The only time I've gotten these freezes is when I unlock the phone and then open the Phone app, then BAM screen freeze. It definitely seems to be better than before at least.

As for the Tapatalk Pro issue, that completely baffles me... is it limited to just the Pro version? Or does the free version have the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
so i just checked to install an app that i paid for, and it worked too.. tapatalk free works to install as well.. i also use PA's gapps as well so maybe that be the issue? x_X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBoss24K:
Update

To chime in with what others are saying, I've also seen some freezing today. My first freeze happened in the first 40 minutes of flashing at around 1am last night - needless to say I was stunned (pun not intended). It's happened 3 more times since then and happens immediately after a button press. I've had it happen using both navigation keys and apps - I think this behavior aligns with the freezing seen prior to the latest release.

I'm reluctant to go back to 4.3 but this freezing is a bear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
I installed golden kernel for 4.3, and haven't had a lock up since. I read someone else did it, so I tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Jeez... I don't understand this at all. I have a few thoughts on what's going on but nothing really definitive. I'll be looking into this even more! I'm basically about to dump as much logging information as I can and mess with the phone until it locks up. Wish me luck :eek:

I do have one bit of good news: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/toro/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-toro.img

This build of TWRP will semi-work with 4.4.

To flash with it:

1. Boot to recovery in your preferred manner.

2. Backup whatever you want.

3. Wipe whatever you want.

4. Reboot to the bootloader. (!!!)

5. Boot into recovery via the bootloader. (!!!)

6. Flash whatever you want.

7. Reboot.

The 2 steps with a "!!!" at the end of them are the key steps, without doing those 2 things flashing will not work whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBoss24K:
Not sure how kosher that is, but I may be willing to give that a try if the issue persists. I already have that kernel on my phone because I was running golden pre-4.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Well that at least narrows it down 100% to the issue being with the kernel, thank you.

I'm now tempted to just cherry-pick my way from a stock kernel to something decent but stable...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
Well, I may have spoken too soon, Right after I wrote that, I was using chrome beta, and upon trying to back out of it (using the back button on the last open tab), the phone locked up. Had to pull battery.

:(. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. Till then, it was rock solid and I was livin large with my kit-kat goodness
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
u know I kinda figured it was the kernel.. oh well.. ya that would be great to grab a stock one and tweak it.. or use cyanogenmod or..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vitokes:
first off love the rom even for being a beta. i kinda made it my official daily. but first off one thing i seam to find weird is that i cant connect to 4g even after a couple restarts. i can connect to 3g no problem. but thats not a big cause i sacrifice 4g for the battery life. speaking off the battery life on this rom today at work was amazing and currently its at 30%. as for freezing the phone has only done it when i enter settings and go into certain ones like data usage and also right after the screen starts glitching out. thats just my input hope it helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
After another crash/lockup hitting back out of gmail. I've looked at the logs and found that it's riddled with security exceptions for animations and going to the home screen.

Is it possible that this only happens when using the new kit-kat launcher thing (sorry, I don't know the name yet). The one with google now to the far left screen?

I'm trying the old style launcher right now to see if there any improvement. I can send stack trace and logcat if anyone wants to review it.

Edit:

After reviewing the log further, I think the security errors I was getting were due to the kernel incompatibility. I've re-flashed the rom (to get the original kernel back), and those errors have stopped.

Loving the rom btw, just hoping I could help out someway. If I do find anything that's actually useful, I'll share. Still gonna run old launcher for a while to see if there's anything different there.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Since it's not messing with anything that would keep the OS from running I don't see what switching them out would harm, just make sure they are the same names in the lollipop systemui as they are in the kit-kat and prior systemui's.
