[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
Been using this as a daily driver for the past couple days. First off it worked for me as a daily. That being said, I had random reboots at least once or twice a day and graphical issues when launching certain apps and rotating. I've tested WiFi, Bluetooth (t505), NFC, 4G, everything works great.

I'm going back to 4.2.2 until the graphics are resolved, but this was pretty stable for 4.4 and ran very smooth.

Do you think this will help out with the graphical issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konjiki7:
From what I'm able to gather it should. I'm not the original founder of this but this is my favorite 4.4 rom. So thought I might pass this on so devs can jump on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Looks interesting for sure, but this is a year old build...

Anybody know why I'm getting a updater binary fail?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sivarticus85:
TWRP is incompatible with flashing this ROM at the moment. Use CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] collinjm01:
Confused

I dont quite understand this... It says Android Jelly Bean 4.4. Android 4.4 is Kit Kat, am I missing something?:confused:

Im not trying to sound noobish, but this is confusing me haha.

I will try this ROM as soon as i get off work! :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calvinistmac:
You're not missing anything, it was just mistyped. 4.4 is definitely Kit Kat, not Jelly Bean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grouper:
Care to expand on this before I wipe my phone to install something that might not do what I need it to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
The only major thing wing with it is in Google now results, you get black boxes covering the screen. I notice this in the stock email app too. But not gmail, which is weird. Haven't noticed it anywhere else.

By the way, I just paid using Google wallet on this ROM with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsems1000:
Does this break root? I thought i read in the OP that it's "easily rootable"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmiet:
The ROM is not rooted but it can be with a simple flash.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Actually the black boxes will pop up and annoy u in any app that uses a web-view interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mlgneo:
yeah that's what gives me headaches but this has been my daily driver for 2 days now and I love it so much. I just got two new 2200 mAh anker batteries I'm set... can't wait to flash the next one!!! *buckles seatbelt* :victory:

p.s. logging in with 2-step verification is a NIGHTMARE with the black box's floating around! just saying :cyclops:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konjiki7:
How would I go about reporting bugs? Should I just posted here or.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JeeperDon:
The Dev apparently doesn't hang out here, so posting issues here would likely not be the fastest way to get it noted. The main thread for this ROM is apparently here over in Rootz...

the more I touch the phone, the more it reboots… really weird. I'm running everything correctly (updated bootloader/cwm/radios, rooted and kernel'd)

Flashed Chainfire's SuperSU zip in CWM but still no dice for root. Do I have to do it with TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Flashing it with CWM worked fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreadnatty08:
I Google'd for the zip as I didn't see it in the OP (here or Rootz, maybe I'm blind). Any chance you could send a link for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilD41:
This is the one I used from CWM and it worked just fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreadnatty08:
Thanks, that worked! Was flashing an outdated one (v1.35) that didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
So when you are getting a call, does anyone else get red dots around the center slider. They used to be white. Is this a design change with KitKat or part of the graphic glitch issue? If that's how its supposed to look, its kind of ugly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
Anyone else try ART with the new gapps? It works with everything except Google plus, titanium backup, gallery, and a few other apps. Afraid to try it with Franco kernel.

edit: This kernel freaking makes ART fly like crazy... apps load in like 2 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1458:
Think as soon as the art works with the gallery and tibu I'll jump to the 4.4 rom. Patiently waiting now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Haven't tried ART. But I think stuff opens faster already due to more free RAM. 4.4 is just awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
Plus updated to work. No change in anything else. Ridiculously fast though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I selected ART out of curiosity. Told me to reboot and I did. After it went through the process of starting all the apps, it started up but kept force closing a lot of stuff. I wasn't expecting much from this. But I thought I'd try anyway.

You need to redefine trolling...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
Um, sir this was from days ago. Why don't you read into it some more and then... don't come back on this. :thumbdown:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnaa64:
I was wondering that too. It looks like a design change but I don't like it either. I noticed that the colors when getting a call and hanging up are more vibrant than they were before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreadnatty08:
Same here. According to Android Police, they say DO NOT enable ART on custom ROMs. It's even causing some stability issues with folks on the Nexus 5, especially root apps. I learned the hard way....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kuronosan:
Works for me just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAreKyleW00t:
I'd just thought posting the latest Changelog would be good.

11/10/13 CHANGES

Added some more missing proprietary files - fixed Google Drive editing and some other behind-the-scenes things

Fixed the mobile data/connectivity issues - no more need to reboot before setting up (I hope!) - also, the mobile networks menu can now be used to manually toggle between network modes

Added more available system languages

ROM is now fully ART compatible - can be turned on from the developer settings menu (please note that ART is still experimental)

*If this is your first install of Android 4.4 KitKat*, PLEASE see the KitKat megapost for IMPORTANT installation information and instructions

*Mods: Due to ART compatibility and the addition of new languages, we're going to have to figure out something the mod situation. Do NOT flash any SystemUI or framework-res mods to this build - I will keep you posted on updates to this

This may have been covered already, but how do you enable ART? I can't find developer settings menu anywhere.

Thanks

Nick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAreKyleW00t:
In developer options, you'll see a "select Runtime" option at the top-ish. Choose ART and your device will reboot. Keep in mind, booting ART the first time will take a VERY long time when optimizing apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slosrtnick:
Thanks, but I can't even find the developer options menu at all. Is it in settings? Or do u need to install a third party app to access the menu?

Nick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1458:
If it's like other roms, go to about phone, and click the phone build multiple times. Should unlock the menu.

Anyone know the status of the new GPU binaries? Found this article and would be very excited for this kernel to happen.

http://rootzwiki.com/news/little-nexus-updated-gpu-binaries-found-galaxy-nexus/

Edited to ask...where the heck are the developers options....Either they are hiding from me, or my brain is just not working on a Monday.

2nd Edit to say obviously on Monday's I can't scroll up....ugh going to be one of those days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnaa64:
I got the same thing. It kept force closing everything and took me a while to get it shutoff and rebooted. It was weird though cuz it had me restart like normal and it "optimized" all the apps. But when I got the force close notifications I restarted again to see if it would fix anything and it went through the "optimizing" apps thing but for only about half of the apps I have. I decided to shut it off and not mess with it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donnieseech:
I'm not having any reboots at all. Just the "fun" graphic tears. But running it with tiny kernel 5.3.1 I'm only averaging a 6.5% battery loss per hour. Not too bad and it seems to stream HD video better than 4.3 imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rushead:
From reading other KK threads it seems you need odexed gapps to use art effectively w/o fcs. Since gapps are included, I assume they're odexed, right?

Sent from a frequent flasher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
They're deodexed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Are you sure?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
Mm-yesssss (Filthy Frank voice). According to Baldwinguy they're deodexed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Then why are there odex files in system/app? I thought deodex meant no odex files. Or do I have it backwards? I didnt flash any gapps after the last update so all those files came with the build. And I dont know when he said they were deodexed, but before the last build, I dont beleive those files were in there. I think he added the odex files to the last build so that it was compatible with ART.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitsua98:
In the latest build, they're odexed so that art is compatible. (So you're right)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnbrightblade:
I was reading an article on android police that you may have trouble if you use TWRP to install 4.4 roms; is that true? Do I really have to download all the stuff and do the whole adb thing and flash over to CWM to install this rom? I have an older version of TWRP (v2.4.4.0) should I update that first and I will be fine? In order to update TWRP, do I need to connect to my computer and flash through ADB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Personally, i dont like TWRP and have never really used it other than to try it out. But if you want to easily get CWM on your phone, download ROM manager from the play store. It has an option to install CWM on your device and you dont need a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
The latest twrp works fine. 2.6.3.1 I believe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Hey guys.

I have since moved on to a G2 but have my trusty GN sitting here. I'm probably going to sell it. It has 4.3 AOKP on it now and I'm finding trouble with the cellular radios switching properly for data. When I travel, I find I have cell service, but no data until I reboot.

I'd love to flash 4.4 but I haven't used it yet and wondering if those were just 4.3 woes or if they were passed on to 4.4. Any issues in this department?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattyboi:):
have you tried reflashing the radios in CWM/TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I believe I have flashed the latest radios. Been a while though. I'll see if they need updating. It seems to be pretty common unless it's been fixed recently.

data/kernel issue

Is there a preferred kernel to use with this rom? I am having mad data issues when the phone goes to sleep and during phone calls....which reminds me....my 4g LTE goes away on phone calls; i though this phone does simultaneous voice and data? Is this a kernel issue?

Other than that, I am new to the g'nex and am effing stoked that dev's have ported over (successfully imo) 4.4 to our phone!!! Good work on this rom! I haven't had any f/c's yet! :victory: :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Try Mpokang 1080p version found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2423338 and then checkout my custom kernel settings thread linked in my signature. ;)

I haven't had a single reboot or freeze as well as data is working perfect after one initial reboot. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevejr47:
Is anyone else having issues with the sunbeam live wallpaper when using ART? When I use dalvik I have no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradg24:
ART is too new for moment so better to flip back to dalvik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pogibry:
Shall do. I'll let you know how it goes :highfive:

So both of those should be just fine for this 4.4 rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilD41:
Do you have 4.3 on the GN or 4.3.1? There were significant issues with the radio control in 4.3 that got worked out in 4.3.1 for Toro. 4.3 never worked for me. As for 4.4. Radio's have worked better than on any version prior. I have the FK01 and FK02 radios for reference.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dfgged:

Audio very, very low after installing ShinyROM 4.4

Is the audio supposed to be very, very low? I can't even boost it using Volume+. I went back to using different ROMs and volume was fine or at least not as bad. I started from scratch again by wiping everything and the audio goes very, very low. What up with that?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
That's basically standard with a Galaxy Nexus; audio was always bad with stock ROMs. Use GravityBox's media tweaks to change it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwortiz:
Enter the Nexus,

It's the ROM. I know the issues with GNex and the audio with stock, but when switching to other ROMs, it doesn't go as low as this new KitKat ROM does. You can barely hear anything at maximum volume. I'll try the GravityBox suggestion. Thanks.

I really enjoy this rom, thanks very much. I feel that I should report that I have been having reboots on build 12/24 when I use the phone app or when I toggle mobile data from quick settings.

If you want a good stock ROM, this is it. Theres really no customization in it. But thats why I use Xposed and Gravity Box. The Google Dialer is built in and works perfectly (I dont know why other ROMs cant do this still). Its stable all around.

Hey guys! I see that my ROM is now 90% bugless - I've always had trouble quantifying that myself, but 90% may be close :P Anyways, just wanted to first say sorry for "neglecting" XDA. It was never intentional and I don't have anything against XDA, but it was more due to time constraints that make it difficult to manage two separate threads. So sorry about that, but I'm going to try to be more active here! If the time comes to start my own thread, Enter the Nexus and I will figure it out :) Thanks for the support, feedback and discussion that you've all been contributing to over here!

As of right now, the latest build is from 1/4/14:

ShinyROM_toro_aosp_010414-133558-signed.zip

MD5: 73a0ae9cabe12179ec20b341f7406f9e

1/4/14 CHANGES

Re-enabled OpenGL ES 2.0 to bring performance back to normal

Enhanced graphics-related stability to reduce/eliminate glitching and unwarranted random reboots

Installation is what you're normally used to; a dirty flash should be fine if you're on a previous version of Shiny ROM, but clean flashes are always recommended, especially if you have strange issues that seem unique to you. Regardless of that, make sure you use the latest version of your preferred recovery! Let me know how the new build runs and enjoy it! Happy new year!

P.S. A new build that enhances data stability a lot is coming very soon. Also, I'm not sure what the aforementioned "lag" is about. I haven't seen any specific complaints about this, nor have I seen general ones from more than a single person. Nothing comes to mind that would bring about unwarranted "lag," although there probably is some inherent lag due to the fact that we're running on outdated graphics drivers.

Lastly, huge thanks to Enter the Nexus for providing and maintaining the thread for me! :)
