Really excited to hear that some network stability improvements have been made in this ROM. I've had so many problems with data just cutting out until i reboot that i've gone back to a 4.2 ROM. Would love to get a working 4.4 ROM on my phone that I can actually use. I must be in a bad area for these data drops because the phone is unusable on anything >4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey guys, a new build is now up! Check out all of the info below:

This build is a very focused one, but I think you all will be pleased with it :) Through a lot of collaboration between RW-1, deVorteX (who wrote almost all of the actual code), the_metalspring and myself, this build includes a lot of new fixes for mobile data instability on toro. Basically, those of you who have had problems with switching between different network types may find that to no longer be the case! Huge, huge, huge thanks to the people mentioned above; thank them before you thank me :) So to prevent getting too detailed, just check out the installation instructions below, download the ROM, and check it out! Enjoy and leave your feedback here as always! :)

Installation Instructions

Download desired ZIP files (ROM, SuperSU*, mods, etc.) and place on internal storage.

Reboot to the latest version of your preferred custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).

Wipe cache.

Wipe dalvik cache.

**OPTIONAL** Wipe data/factory reset (will erase user data like apps and saved games, etc., but may fix strange bugs).

Flash ROM.

**OPTIONAL** Flash other desired ZIPs (SuperSU, mods, etc.).

1/7/14 CHANGES

Enhanced mobile data stability - problems switching between WiFi, 3G, 4G, etc. addressed

Removed some battery-sucking network operations from previous builds
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey everyone! I want to make an announcement about the 1/7/14 build. While it does fix quite a few data issues, it doesn't seem to fix all of them, and it also seems to have the serious side effect of breaking voice calls for some people. The pattern of behavior is that after flashing the build, voice calls work fine; however, upon traveling to some other physical location, voice calls may stop working altogether. A reboot clears up the problem, but clearly it could still be an issue. I don't think this affects everyone, but if you want to be safe, reverting to the 1/4/14 build is probably your best choice. This really seems to only be affecting those who had data switching issues before the 1/7/14 build. Sorry for that inconvenience; a lot of testing was still done for this release, but somehow that slipped through the cracks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonnyrs:
This 1/7 build is working great! You have made my Gnex a new phone again! I was starting to lose interest in it..

Is there a hidden menu, or something I'm missing, to have the screenshot option in the power menu? Would it be too much to ask for a flashable zip that contains it? I for one used it quite a bit here and there, but if it's too much trouble, don't sweat it. I'd do it myself, but I don't know how, or if it's even possible..

Thanks again for your hard work. This ROM has been flawless for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
With this being a stock ROM I don't think its an option. Volume down and power held together do it. And check xsposed framework with gravity box module for extra mods. I think it has the option to add that to power menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonnyrs:
Volume down and power button! That's it! Thanks a bunch. That will work for me!! I appreciate it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that another new build is ready for download - it's minor, but important. Here is the info:

This one adds more mobile data improvements and ensures that the voice call problems that users (only a couple) saw on the last build. Therefore, if you were holding off on the 1/7/14 build because of that possible bug, you should be safe to go ahead and update now if you'd like to :) I have to give a huge thanks to deVorteX again for his top notch help and coding that has led to such huge strides in mobile data improvements for toro. At this point, I think that Shiny ROM for toro (KitKat version) is extremely stable. There will still be more updates with toro-specific things, but this gives me a chance to work on some more fun stuff for Shiny ROM ;) More coming soon! For now, read the installation instructions and grab the new build!

Installation Instructions

Download desired ZIP files (ROM, SuperSU*, mods, etc.) and place on internal storage.

Reboot to the latest version of your preferred custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).

Wipe cache.

Wipe dalvik cache.

**OPTIONAL** Wipe data/factory reset (will erase user data like apps and saved games, etc., but may fix strange bugs).

**OPTIONAL** Flash other desired ZIPs (SuperSU, mods, etc.).

1/12/14 CHANGES

More mobile data improvements especially with 3G->4G switching

Corrected any voice call mishaps that may have existed in the last build
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
Sure thing. Be sure to thank Baldwinguy for building this too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonnyrs:
Oh yeah.. Sure thing! I always give credit where credit is due! This ROM is simply amazing.. Not even gonna lie..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
ROM is near perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kubes069:
Does this ROM have any random lock ups which make u pull the battery?? Or is that something that happens to ALL KitKat roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
I haven't experienced it. It's built on AOSP, so I'm not fairly certain the lock ups would pertain to AOSP-built ROMs.

Simple answer: nope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoxRedEye:
Not that I'm complaining in ANY manner at all; just curious as to why the rom's file size is so big? Just downloaded the latest Shiny build and gonna give it a run. I've yet to try a Shiny build. Looking forward to it. Many thanks to baldwinguy for your hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnstonF:
Possible to use this on gnex international??

If yes can someone guide me to how should I go about it??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
It's the ROM + GApps, that's why it's so large.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoxRedEye:
Thought so. Thanks.

Edit: many thanks to baldwinguy and thee other devs involved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
Nope only VZW. There are probably AOSP Roms on Maguro (try out Gummy) if not go with something like CM, Vanir, or OMNI. You could try to learn to build from source, but just go check for ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miseusegau:
but it would be really nice to have the shiny maguro, it would be fantastic and very successful since we do not have a pure AOSP based kitkat;):D;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
A maguro version will come soon :) The build process for that will actually be really simple, as will the Sprint version if we decide to do a build for that as well, so it's coming. Right now my #1 focus is school and #2 is fixing data for toro, but I think we're almost to an all-encompassing fix. Once toro is stabilized, a lot of new device support for Shiny ROM is coming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miseusegau:
great, now I can not wait ... I hope is soon because I want to try your very shiny .... ? ? ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
Is anyone else's Play Music censoring their songs. I was listening to "Pound Cake" and my sh*t was censored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
Are you listening to the stream or from your library? If its from streaming then don't be surprised if some songs are censored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
Yeah, I'm streaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heXacode:
I don't know if there is a way to turn that off. I only checked the streaming part out for a week and noticed censoring. I'm already paying monthly for Pandora. Have you tried to see if they give options to avoid censoring?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
Yeah, I discovered a *placebo* fix. Might be a fluke, tbh. I believe you can just turn off then on the "block explicit songs in mixes." I listened to a few songs after trying it, and I could hear all of the song.

Also, you PAY FOR PANDORA? Hahahaha You should use the cracked app, practically the same as Pandora One.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _base2:
Does this have the photosphere camera or the aosp camera? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enter The Nexus:
Yes. It does, the Dialer works fully as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotrodwinston:
There is now a xposed module that blocks Pandora ads and allows for unlimited skips.

1/20/14 Build Information

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that there is a new, official build available! :) Check out the information below.

I'm pretty excited for this one because we are getting very close to the end of our search for data reliability. Before I go on, I have to give a huge thanks to:

deVorteX, who has written most of the code for these data fixes and done a huge amount of troubleshooting with the data issues

All of my testing crew, including the official group and others in the thread

​As I think most of you know, I no longer have a Galaxy Nexus that I can use to test these kinds of things, so development could potentially be a lot more challenging. Luckily, I have an awesome group of testers who are always willing to test and good at giving feedback and bug reports, so development is still as easy as ever! :)

The only thing new with this build is the inclusion of more data reliability bug fixes. Toro is an extremely difficult phone to work with in this area for multiple reasons, so any improvement is a big stride. This has been through testing and the results look promising, so I'm excited to see what everyone else thinks. Grab it after reading the installation instructions, and note that there is a download mirror there as our server is being a little slow right now. Other than that, please leave all of your feedback as always! And thank you so, so much for the continued support! :D

Installation Instructions

Download desired ZIP files (ROM, SuperSU*, mods, etc.) and place on internal storage.

Reboot to the latest version of your preferred custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).

Wipe cache.

Wipe dalvik cache.

**OPTIONAL** Wipe data/factory reset (will erase user data like apps and saved games, etc., but may fix strange bugs).

Flash ROM.

**OPTIONAL** Flash other desired ZIPs (SuperSU, mods, etc.).

Reboot.

Enjoy!

*As of 1/20/14, the latest version of SuperSU is v1.91.

1/20/14 CHANGES

Final stage of major data improvements - should see increased reliability across the board for everyone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wpbear:
If upgrading, do we need to re flash gaaps and SU?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Is the data issue you referred to only implied to this ROM only or to Samsung radio?? It must be for this rom only, cause I don't have any data issue with other ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
There seems to be data problems across the board on all post-4.2 ROMs with the GNex. Some people never experience them on any ROM, some people experience them on every ROM. It's very user-/location-specific, so you probably just have been lucky enough to not encounter these issues. There is a lot of in-depth discussion on this topic at the other thread for this ROM.

You should never flash a gapps package with this ROM as they are built-in. As for root, if you used the SuperSU package mentioned in the OP you should not have to reflash it with each ROM upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turd Furguson:
Tip toe carefully
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stormyq:
So far so great. Thanks BWG!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Being testing this latest rom out. So far haven't find any issue yet. Give it more time to see if the battery is good, but the rom is pretty quick and smooth, lightning fast when set animation to "none". Camera, browser, phone..all very responsive. Apps launch very quickly..4g/wifi/signal are all great, will post update after back from the race track.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buhohitr:
Ok, I have big issue with 4g is not working when I switch from WiFi. It came on for a few seconds then quited and I unable to turn it back on, I have no choice but switch back to WiFi. I thought data was stable??? I have no issue like this with other Roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graffixnyc:
Cleaned the thread of the Pandora talk.. Honestly, I'm not sure if it falls into warez for the unlimited skips mod but I guess technically it does since it's taking away revenue from the developer and that's frowned upon here since the unlimited skips usually comes with ad blocking as well. I will ask one of the Sr. Mods where XDA stands on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asilentcivilian:
same happened to me. toggled airplane mode on/off and 4g came back on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevVorteX:
Let me know if these problems re-occur. I saw the same thing once, but only right after flashing. Haven't had a problem since.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asilentcivilian:
will do. thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubber soul:
almost two days now on the latest build and not a single permanent signal drop. I haven't gone nearly this long on any rom based on 4.3 or 4.4 without data problems. big time thanks to the devs putting their time in and (so far) fixing this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asilentcivilian:
Yea still happening to me. Notably if I'm connected to WiFi and then go out of range until it switches to Verizon. I'm shown 4g with a couple bars but if I try to stream Google music I get a message saying I need to be connected to a network. I have to toggle airplane mode on and off to resolve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr_GreenJeans:
I also have issues with data coming off Wi-Fi, also while driving around town the handoff between towers seems be delayed. Example: playing ingress during commute around town, connection goes in and out as I go from portal to portal.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sulla65:
Yep data problems here as well. When I switch from wifi back to data, I get a 4g symbol and bars, but can't access the play store or gmail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotrodwinston:
No data issues here in central Louisiana - has any body with data issues tried a prl update? Dial *22899 let go (might take as much as 5 min ) once data reconnects power down for 5 min and power back on. Only do this while connected to Verizon 4g LTE - and never use *228 as it can mess things up.

Also my wife's phone shuts down on incoming calls while in very low signal (1 bar no data) any ideas why? We are not in such low signal areas normally but she was visiting a friend and I tried to call here and could not reach her even though we had been texting fine - she is now mad cuz I "messed up her phone - again!"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Data problems here too, especially when leaving Wi-Fi, where it just locks and requires an airplane mode toggle or reboot. Just driving around Phoenix the 4g cuts in and out, presumably with every tower change. It comes back, just more slowly than it should, so I can't stream audio or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asilentcivilian:
I did a *22899 , ran a speed test using the FCC speed test app and got 830kbs down. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] harrywang888:
Hi guys, I'm looking for a rom/kernel that has good battery life. Google edition preferable. Any suggestions or reviews? I can't seem to find good google edition roms..it seems to be all just stock/debloated ones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
"Best of" threads are not allowed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ragnar:
XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] longballs:
So I installed the last Power JB rom on my Go and restored apps+data using Mybackup Pro. Now I get an error message saying something about google play services not supported by my device. I get this when trying to opoen Google+ and Hangouts.

Two questions:

1) I've tried factory reset, but the problem persists. Is this equivalent to reinstalling the rom?

2) For some reason I don't have CWM recovery after installing Power JB. I also can't seem to install the recover over again. I've tried CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Locked Bootloader by [MENTION=3834787]atis112[/MENTION]. Do I have to flash stock rom first?

Cheers for any help!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shadowjump:
I've read in different forums that people are having problems with a nano to micro sim adapter with their Note 3.

I've made a short review about a good one that I bought.

http://youtu.be/Co50a5IbxaA

If your interested, check it out. It was extremely easy to install and feels very secure.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Fair enough. Personally I'd recommend just getting your nano sim replaced by your network. It's worth doing, my Note is back from repair due to a sim adaptor stripping out the contacts. Now , if that happens and Knox has been tripped ,forget your warranty repair which they honoured for me.

Go to your network , be safe. Forget sim adaptors.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shadowjump:
My operator doesnt have a mini sim for my plan. Its a 2in1 plan. 2 phone numbers in 1 sim. They only have regular size, which doesnt support 4G and nano size which supports 4G. So no options for me!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
I understand . Once it's in then, leave it alone, wouldn't recommend removing it unless you really need too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beerister:
Rooted De La Vega method (verified root, get # after su, other su required apps, get the grant access warning and they all work, etc)

Installed CWM via the loki method as noted on Cynanogen (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltevzw[/url])

Copied multiple rom's (cyanongen, eclipse, etc..). Reboot to CWM recovery, select install from external card. It gets to verifying the zip file and then says "failed to verify whole-file signature" and bails.

No clue what I'm doing wrong, I can find this error all over via google searches but all seems to be on another device and/or solved by re-downloading your zip.....

My question may sound silly. I have used many PDAs and cellular phones, but I just cannot turn my XDA IIs TOTALLY off. The top right green light keeps blinking, regardless how many times I push the On/Off button. I don't seem to see instruction in this regard from the manual.

Can anyone out there help this ignorant PDA user, please?
[General Topics] TheBrit:
The power button only turns off the display. The blinking green led means that the phone is still active. To stop this you will have to put it into 'flight mode'

I don't think there's actually a way to switch the thing off completely.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dubsylva:
Hi there, it's the first time ever I'm creating a new thread. Pardon me if I mess up. I have two cell phones, one is Nokia 5230 pretty old feature phone which I'm using for the company and my personnal phone, which is a Note 2.

In addition of this, I'm using Sync in my car, obviously.

I'd like to have both phones connected to Sync but that's not possible at the same time. I had an earpiece which did that, but my car doesn't.

Now I'd like to control my Nokia remotely with my Note 2 the same way my Sync controls my Note 2 (place call, answer call, forward the voice). I'd like to use my Nokia only to have a line.

I know computers can do that (I could have my laptop control my Note 2 and getting the voice) so I'm quite sure my Note 2 could do the same with my Nokia 5230. On top of that, I'd really like my Note 2 to get the calls of my Nokia and redirect them to my Sync, this would be heaven!!

I'd like to avoid rooting my Note 2 but I could root it if necessary. I'm not a noob and I did the search to find one prog (Bluetooth remote control (lite) by ShakeJ) which is not working for me. He couldn't connect to my Nokia

If someone has a solution, he/she's my angel!!
