I'm right there with you guys. While shopping at the mall I happen to stop by tmo kiosk to see if they had the N6 to play with. They did.... It was nothing short of amazng.

Right now 3/4 lines on my parents Verizon acct are going month to month. With one line not being done until October of 15'. I have a good friend who works at tmo and I'm gonna see if they will buy out that last line and then I'll switch to Tmo.

I can't wait anymore.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Oh I can wait, with FML that is.

However so far I haven't been able to see/touch/feel or grab an N6 locally here :)

Hopefully that will change shortly. But my GNex will always have a purpose even if I move on to another daily device, hence the vested interest in this ROM, or assisting anyone else with theirs, whatever it may be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Have you tried out Smitty's new lollipop beta kernel? It makes this ROM run lightning fast, no lag, great battery (at least with the settings I'm using). Really all that's left is to get the camera and ambient display working properly and this ROM will be perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rester555:
I fortunately have been saving money since I got the Galaxy Nexus in 2011. My galaxy nexus will become a "land line". It was good while it lasted. One thing for sure through this experience, I hate Verizon, but paying $60 a month for unlimited data on their network beats everything else out there imho....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
Exactly this. I have unlimited data, unlimited messaging, and a more than adequate number of minutes at even less than that (discount through work). Big red is a necessary evil for me, but bring on the n6, pocket bursting profile and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfick3:
Is this kernel out there for folks to try out? I've been looking around and can only find a kernel by bsmitty83 for Jelly Bean. Thanks for your time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfick3:
Thank you kind sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Nope, not yet. Short story is I wan on the next to last build and the last build, but only for a short eval time, but for IT work I do, need the camera, more for Video conferencing apps than actual pics, so believe me when the cam issues are solved; I'll go in whole hog and flash a custom kernel as well then remain on lollipop.

When I drop for an N6 eventually hopefully etc. I will finally retire my OG Droid from the nightstand dock where it has served faithfully as a player and alarm clock, and the GNex will fulfill that role plus more, maybe not... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meth0dGSX:
Did you guys build this 12/6 version from source? or am i missing it on the first page somewhere? i suppose i will just wait for the official update and hope he bakes in that new kernel along with gapps. patiently waiting here lol.

I've read through this thread, but currently what is the major bugs with 5.0 on the GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
1. Non-Functioning Camera

2. Ambient Display does not work properly

3. Flashlight button in quicksettings does not work

Honestly, I've been using the newest build since it's release on the 6th and it's absolutely daily driver worthy if you can deal with the above 3 things not properly working quite yet. Also, Bsmitty83 has a fully functioning tweakable kernel that works with this rom and makes it butter smooth.

P.S. Anyone else can chime in if I missed any major bugs, the above 3 are really the only ones I've noticed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Is there a walk-through on installing this rom? Sometimes there's special instructions. Please take note, I ran 4.4.4, then I did a completely downgrade to Recovery and ROM to where I'm running Android 4.2.2 CM10.1.2, which I currently am on now. Or can I just download the zip and flash it like I normally do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
All the info you need is in the OP on the first page, remember to have the latest recovery flashed if anything goes wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Only recovery I could find reference too was this...

KitKat/TWRP Stable: fml-twrp-2.7.1.0-20140705-toro.img (8.58 MB)

...is this the latest I should use before flashing 5.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/toro

The latest is 2.8.1.0 but 2.8.0.0 works fine as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
I believe the latest recovery is 2.8.1.0 for gnex. You can get it on the twrp website at... http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Last question, is the smitty kernel this one?

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-dirtyv-6-9-14-t2613655
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
That's the right thread but the newest beta kernel for lollipop can be found on one of the last pages of the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Got it, thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Unless someone who knows better can correct me, I believe that it should never be necessary to downgrade the recovery. I'm pretty sure I could flash an ICS rom if I wanted with the latest TWRP and everything would go fine, because backwards compatibility is maintained. I.e. good rule of thumb is always update your recovery to the latest if you're making a big version number leap in either direction. You'd probably be more likely to mess things up by downgrading because you could overshoot and end up with a version that is too old to support the older ROM that you're downgrading to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Everything went fine. Testing battery life now today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheYoz:
Another issue is MMS doesn't work. This ROM is great and I can live without the 3 you listed, but if you like to group message friends and send pictures and what not, you won't be able to with this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
MMS works fine for me, I tested it on both 4G and WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheYoz:
Really? Mine fails to send for some reason? I'm on the 12/6 build of FML and am using the Bsmitty kernel. Any idea of what will be causing MMS not to work for me? I've reflashed multiple times as well.

What messenger are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urphonesux:
I found that I could not send MMS through hangouts until I turned off wifi. I have since turned it back on and it appears to still be working. I am also using Bsmitty's beta (2) kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheYoz:
Thanks for the tip... didn't seem to work for me. I've tried hangouts 2.5, new lolli messenger and stock messenger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EAK128:
You are not alone, didn't work for me either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheYoz:
Back to 4.4.4 for me until the MMS issue is solved. Great ROM though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Are you not able to uninstall apps with Titanitum Backup? I used SuperSU to give TB root permission, but when I uninstall stuff like Search or the old Gingerbread Music app it doesn't do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Dude, please read through the thread, this has been discussed, you have to disable the Superuser in settings and download SuperSU from the Play Store to get Tibackup to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there seems to be a bug where if the phone is off and you plug it in to charge, the charging icon stays on constantly. And at random times when you unplug the phone it won't disappear and you can't turn the phone on until you pull the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirty_Jerz:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
I'm not reading through 270-some odd pages. I don't have time for that. I have a duaghter and a wife and a job. Thank you though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirty_Jerz:
Hence the 'search this thread' tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Dude, I'm not trying to be rude but this is a development forum, I have had to help you out twice now on things that could have easily been searched or even just by reading the OP and a few pages back. I don't mind helping people but I am not a big fan of spoon-feeding info to people that is already easily available. Again, not trying to be rude, just take a little time to scan a few pages back and read the main post at the beginning before asking questions. If you do not have the time for that then maybe XDA is not the place for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
You make valid points all the way around, but you tend to take it too seriously in-my-opinion. Don't ruffle your feathers over nothing. I understand where you're coming from, but on the other hand if you don't like helping people where the information is readily available, but I don't know where because of my ignorance, then just don't help me next time. I'd rather you not help me, then come back after you've helped me like you're doing now and ***** about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
"***** about it"? Well if you want to show me disrespect I will just report you for breaking the rules of XDA in the future, I am a recognized contributor and really don't appreciate that attitude. I was trying to be nice before but apparently that is not worth my time. Here's the deal, asking questions before searching is a direct violation of XDA stated rules, if you cannot find the time to search then you should not be here but rather with the other noobs on Google+ begging for answers to everything.

In the future, when people try to help you and give you constructive criticism don't disrespect them, it leads to you not having anyone that will bother helping you and possibly you getting a temporary ban from the site.

For the record, I was not "*****ing", I was stating a fact, that I had helped you twice on things that you should have very well been able to locate yourself within a few minutes, I did not complain about helping you those times but after the 3rd question I had to politely explain that you needed to put more effort into what is required of every XDA member, new or old, and that is search before asking.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Here's an update on how things are going.

The big surprise I've been working on is adding the usual FML optimizations. While the camera is a more important thing to fix, I needed a break from just fixing things.

I actually got all the code compiling faster than it took for me to do so on both KitKat and Jellybean, so I feel I've definitely learned a lot. I've also been fighting with dumb compilers a little bit....

Unfortunately, it's not booting just yet.

I've also been super busy with school, it's finals week of course.

So the next FML build may very well be a Christmas present. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Thank you for the update. I've been running the latest build for almost 48 hours. There's definitely a "settling" down period as far as the phone using battery once you get everything the way you want it. Great work on bringing the Lollipop experience to users of a phone that is literally 3 years old.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesAutumn:
Can't wait for the update 5.0 has been freaking amazing on this phone it's simply been the best rom experience i've had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GaNkSTar:
What gapps is everyone using? I tried the ones in the op but play services keeps f/c on me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Post #2598 MW speaks about a PA 5.0 gapps and recommends it, I believe further down a link is given in the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mastertech007:
WOW. Android 5.1 due out possibly end of February 2015.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-5-1-coming-february-2015/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Well, they have been hitting the bugs out since initial release, seems appropriate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Maybe they'll finally give us that cool Material Google Play Music app that they showed off at the I/O Conference earlier this year but never delivered, it may be just me but I am noticing that a lot of the Lollipop apps that Google showed off with all these beautiful fluid transitions are not looking that way when actually having Lollipop on a device, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Lollipop but I expected to see way more out of certain apps after seeing how they were shown off at the Conference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I'm totally with you there, and it isn't the GNex either, looking at the videos of the N6 running said apps and comparing to the conference videos the changes are apparent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Exactly, our device is fully capable of running the same apps on Lollipop the same way as the N4, N5 and N6, the only difference is due to the driver restrictions some things may not be as fast. What I noticed is that a lot of the great looking UI from the I/O Keynote seems to be non existent in this release version of Lollipop, it feels like when I watch the E3 conference and see a video game announcement and then a year later the developers dumbed down the final product. I just hope Google is holding certain things back because they are refining them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
Also personally been a fan of PowerAmp. Some material design skins...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Something I noticed about the Google Play Services FC issue - it only happens after it auto updates itself. Some of the Gapps packages I guess include the most up to date version of play services, so there is no need for it to update but once it does, I get multiple FC's but only when connectivity changes - like when we establish an initial data connection on boot or coming out of airplane mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Hmm, what gapps did you use, I used the PA Gapps Alpha build and the only thing that happened for me is that I got the little exclamation point pyramid icon in my notification bar and when I clicked on it I was taken to Google play services update page, once I updated everything was fine. The only problem I had prior to it updating was that certain gapps would not auto sync.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Yea, I know a lot of people that dig poweramp, I'm one of those basic guys though, I like everything to be as stock google as I can get. Mainly I just really liked the animations and transitions they showed for the Play Music app at the I/O Keynote and none of those are in the Play Music app that I am currently using on stock lollipop, it's just the same Play Music as I've had for like a year now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meticode:
I definitely get what you're saying. Also it seems like when you don't have a bunch of apps install the phone just runs smoother too. But PowerAmp for me is just one of my staples I've grown to love. I'll definitely check out the Google Play Music whenever it comes out though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheYoz:
Shot in the dark here... could this be why your MMS works? I used the recommended minimal set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
Development update:

I've got the DDK 1.9 PVR kernel module building in the kernel like it used to with DDK 1.8. This will make it easier on kernel devs, so they don't have to futs around with recompiling the PVR module and needing to flash an OTA etc etc. Besides, the kernel guys will be able to do more cool stuff with the PVR kernel module than I can. [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] in particular was interested in this.

It also allows disabling modules in the kernel config, which can reduce a bit of overhead and kernel size for those who normally didn't enable them (such as myself).

In terms of performance, I haven't seen any noticeable difference from this, but ya never know!

I've also got a semi-optimized ROM build booting... it's not to the same extent as I did with KitKat, but there is a noticeable improvement already though. In particular, I didn't experience any lag or stuttering at all today in my usage of it (mostly chatting on Hangouts, browsing around the web, the Launcher, Recents, etc.), however whenever this is releasable, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).

I highly recommend using something other than Poweramp due to the 48kHz audio HAL in FML. I had been a huge Poweramp fan for years, but there's something messed up with its audio quality with this HAL. You're better off using an app that plays through the native Android player stuff, such as Play Music or, godforbid, the AOSP Music app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
MW,

Sweet, things are looking somewhat good eh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] REAL6:
Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask, but is it possible to add Bootanimation sound?

I've added a custom bootanimation but the audio file wont work. I don't know if it's because of the rom or the g.Nexus or both and won't support audio during the boot up process.

Rom is running smooth so far for me.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vrahn:
OK I installed. Got root working. Now. Other than Camera not working, MMS, and any other bugs to come, how do you enable screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Christopher8989:
How do get it to run smooth? Mine is buggy and lagging and apps take 3 or more seconds to load. The only tweak was to increase CPU speed to 1500 even then still not so smooth. Things are smoother for awhile after every reboot though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] REAL6:
Mine was a little slow when i first gave it a shot a few weeks back. I wiped everything and flashed it again and it has been running smooth just like lollipop is supposed to. I'm not even kidding. No lag so far. Only problem i have is the cam and google cam from the play store don't work. Camera 360 works perfect. Other then that, no lag from apps so far. The only little lag i have is when it first boots up for maybe 20 or 30 secs but then it stops. Boot up time I'm guessing.

Maybe try and re-flash it? I don't have so many apps on the phone. Hope that helps.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Christopher8989:
OK thanks I'll try re-flashing it. I'll use TWR and use Advance Wipe and select all, include Davik too if it's not there I don't remember..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] REAL6:
No problem, also maybe changing the window, transition and animator animation to .5x perhaps?

No idea if that would help as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jguerdat:
I have the same issue although I haved factory reset, wiped system, cache and Dalvik cache virtually every time. A reboot helps for a while. It doesn't get horrible except when using any browser. Things disappear from the notification area until some time has passed and the system recovers. I have removed a njmber of apps, both downloaded and system, to free memory. I haven't seen memory dip much, if any, below 150 MB free so I can't exactly explain it. Waiting for the next go-round to see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
It's the low-memory killer. Download 3C Toolbox go to OOM values under System Settings and bring them all down - in particular, the foreground apps. The values I'm currently using are:

Empty Applications - 195MB

Content Providers - 128MB

Hidden Applications - 96MB

Secondary Server - 48MB

Visible Applications - 32MB

Foreground Applications - 24MB

They don't have to be exact, as the sliders in 3C Toolbox are pretty difficult to adjust to any specific value, but really anything lower than the default will give you better multitasking performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Guys, flash Smitty's latest Lollipop kernel and you can just adjust the minfrees with trickstermod as well as everything else you would want to modify, the only thing that cannot be changed yet is the GPU frequency, however you a few different options for the GPU governor that do work. I didn't get much lag to begin with on the 12/6 FML build but using Smitty's kernel with my current custom settings my device has zero lag and excellent battery.

Installed the 12/6 (or 12/7?) 5.0.1 ROM a few nights ago. MMS seems to be working for me mostly but I did miss one or 2 messages that the rest of the group got and I didn't. I would sometimes miss a message or 2 on previous Jellybean and KitKat ROMs that were part of group texts tho. I used the recommended GApps for 5.0 in the OP.

My only issues so far are the Camera not functioning (knew that going in) and for some reason the stock email app (NOT Gmail) will not work with my Yahoo accounts and FCs (since Gmail now supports Yahoo accts this is not a big deal.)

The ROM does seem SLIGHTLY laggier for me than the FML KitKat ROMs, before AND after installing the 5.0 kernel posted a few pages back (bsmitty?).

Battery life is a bit improved for me as somehow this ROM has solved a long standing issue that I have had with *backup* wakelock over the course of multiple ROMs from Jellybean to KitKat (CM, FML, and a few others).

The resolution of the *backup* wakelock potentially is a result of flashing all the way back to IMM76K factory (using Skipsoft's program) before upgrading to Lollipop. I normally just flash JDQ39 factory before making a significant version jump. I had tried multiple things, including not checking the Google backup options at setup, prior to this ROM but had not been successful in resolving this wakelock until now.

Love the ROM! Thanks for all the hard work! I am looking forward to future developments and to see how long I can extend the life of a phone I purchased on launch day! (Trying to save my unlimited data plan!)

Tired this last night. I can see the various settings (I tried the presets, too) make a difference but things aren't running much smoother and I woke up to an unresponsive device, blank black screen with backlight on. I have no doubt that changing minfree is helpful but something else is going on. Can't figure out why I'm the only one with this behavior since I've done damn near everything I can to reset things (I haven't wiped out /sdcard with whatever is there that might somehow be affecting things).
