Finally ROM based on stock without modifications. Will try this ;)

Anyone tried this ROM with mpokang kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
[MENTION=3532327]Sesme[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vekhez:
Now I know what all those Toro users were talking about, this ROM is amazing, by far my favourite ROM right now, easy. This and Dirty_V, amazing. Add ART to the combination, and you got yourself one hell of a combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marko1103:
I`ve noticed that there is no upload/download indicator on mobile signal or on wi-fi (up and down arrows), don`t know how to explain that better...

anyone else experienced the same bug or it`s just me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aini12aian:
Panorama is not working. But overall everything is! and Fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
this bug is detect for me i work in it..

Work in new build 1/20 base
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noctourniquet:
There are no mods included, the mods are referencing the flashable zips in the 2nd post. The only "mod" is the supersu app is preinstalled. NOTE: Just the supersu app, if you want root you'll have to flash the su binary

Edit: been using this ROM about a day now, no issues. I'm gonna flash the mpokang kernel and I'll report with results probably tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nu_skool:
Thanks for doing this - will test it out tonight. I was searching for a close-to-stock rom and found the rootzwiki thread.

Out of interest what does it involve porting a toro rom over to maguro?

I was going to take a look at compiling AOSP and seeing if I could get it working using a custom kernel but haven't had any time to even try this (and have no experience either).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TnK8iD:
The ROM is amazing thanks a lot i was waiting for a KK stabile rom for our gnex. I just miss some tiles and the message's app. Can i install "message" from another ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I guess you can.

And for the tiles, use GravityBox for KitKat. But then you'll have to let ART go as GravityBox uses Xposed module and Xposed works only on Dalvik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
Have new versión i'm upload to mega....

New version is 100% Shiny ... kernel and all is port 1:1 no use base.

Solved panorama and other bug's.

Take 2 hour's to upload new version.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TnK8iD:
Is up? it shows the 012614 port
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
I'm upload!

He goes slow

It took me an hour to complete upload
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TnK8iD:
ok thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotrodwinston:
I did on toro - I used the mms apk from cm11.

I'll upload it here.

Just install as normal app - no need to push to system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namelesske:
Please send a quick reply when you complete :) I want start download asap, i cancelled the current version. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
New versión is uploaded: 01/20/14: Mega

Changelog:

Use Toro base to port.

Changes to use GSM networks

Use default kernel full aosp by Christian

New gps.conf file (toro is diferent config )

Solved panorama preview

Updated some gapps (youtube, gmail, books and chrome)

Delete CDMA apps and ota updater apps ( Maguro no have ota's )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnakTeKa:
Is this zip porting or compiled from source?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
The original rom is compiled for tuna source aosp toro and maguro use = kernel and only have changes on networks conections 15 files in all zip is changed and 8 app for verizon networks.

No need compile from source to maguro only port to run's on gsm:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
I am very confused

:confused:

Which one is the latest build. Is it 1/20/2014 or 1/26/2014? Shouldn't the newest build be the one with the later date?

Another question about the rom. I am not very familiar with "True 100% Stock" android 4.4 but, can you change the statusbar "Tiles" like on cm11? In other words remove the tiles I don't use such as "User and Airplane Mode" along with some others. I really want to flash this rom but I don't know whether you can customize the statusbar tiles. So that's what's holding me back at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hetalk:
If you're not using art you can use xposed framework and gravitybox module to add/remove those tiles.

If you're using art, you're out of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
Thanks for the quick response. Well I could really care less about art. There really is no significant difference in performance between art and dalvik at the moment, at least from my observations. I will give xposed framework a try, haven't really used it in a while but let see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
Old version base is 01/14/14@01/26/14 use base 01/14 and released 01/26

Last version base is 01/20/14@01/29/14 use base 01/20 and released 01/29

Is full aosp rom if you like some changes use ASOPA Beta4 or other AOSP mod rom ( CM11, Slimkat, AOKP or ONMIROM)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maciek82:
Is it possible to get a kernel from the first ROM to use with the second ROM?

The add-on link to shiny kernel is for toro only.

Btw, thank you for this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garuhhh:
Been using the ROM for the past 12 hours or so, setting up all my apps (200+), and I'm impressed with the snappiness of the ROM. Free RAM also improved, that means less killing of my previously running apps!

I can confirm auto-installing of previously installed apps went fine after logging with gmail account, though was stuck at installing one of my apps, had to restart, then proceeded with using my titanium backups. Everything seems to be working fine so far, except for the panorama issue (still running 1/20/14, will try 1/29/14 later).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namelesske:
There is a small lag with Google Play Music when you lock the screen :( Almost Perfect rom. This is the best KitKat rom for Tuna
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
Lag ? on first use restard and no more lag.

U can test other kernel i'm use aospa beta 3 first version kernel... in second version use original Shiny kernel if u like other kernel use Dirty or Tiny asram.

Dirty_V linaro V2 = 50mb ram and gpu at 512mhz have 11000 antutu points
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namelesske:
Its not uptime related problem. I will test other kernels, but i have other problems:

Massive Phone Wakelock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itasoulas:
nice rom...I like the simplicity and being as close to stock but it certainly isn't as fast as vanir even with dirty v kernel on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikehigh05:
Hey guys, im new to the GNex community but not new to xda. Anyways i installed this rom, and im very pleased with it, but my gps is not functioning properly. It was working fine before i flashed. Anybody having this issue with this rom, or does anyone have any recommendations for a possible fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TnK8iD:
Hi first day on this ROM: i'm very impressed is smooth and almost perfect everything works on art for me. I really love The stock style but in true i miss The cm tiles and some small features : the battery drains a bit too fast, i'm just on 3g( WiFi - GPS - geolocalization are disabled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garuhhh:
I have tried ART, i feel like apps takes more time to load first time on it than in dalvik. Anyone have the same experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weppa83:
i can't root the rom :(

Flashed the zip but not root on startup:

"SuperSu cannot find the binary file..."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidsnax:
you need to flash the superSU .zip from the OP.

http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weppa83:
that is what i have already do! but nothing!

ps. i have twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidsnax:
Hmm.. not sure what is wrong then. Try full wipe again and re-flash ROM and SuperSU.

I use CWM recovery and it worked OK - Never used TWRP...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creeve4:
Anyone have a mirror for the ROM? Mega is very slow...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
I feel the same on every ROM (including flashing the toro shiny and using ROM switcher to get GSM working prior OP released this on maguro) I bothered to try ART on. For the first few hours of uptime it screams. After 4-6 hours of uptime it bogs down. And I have apps than still have not been updated to support ART, so I'm sticking with dalvik. ART feels a WIP, it works for some, doesn't work well for others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saeed14i:
[MENTION=4853111]weppa83[/MENTION] After you flashed the SuperSu.zip file in recovery, Have you tried installing SuperSup app from playstore ? I think that should do the trick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abalam:
Just install xposed and the app gravity box. Now you can run your device like itbis a custom rom hehehe

Ps: I like this rom install it on my wife's maguro and she love it. Tnx Dev for this stock rom!!!

°°sent from my nexus⁴® Hells-core machine°°
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weppa83:
i have already do that and i tried also to install the SuperUser app but with no luck. :(

how can i embed the root in this rom?

i return to cm11 and i tried to install the supersu app...and it works because the rom is already rooted -.-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skizofrenic:
First of all thanks for this awesome ROM. I really LOVE it.

I just have one question.

After megaclean, installation and root i opened busybox to install it

It says : free Space in /system 41mb.

Why so little free space?

Usually (i mean before 4.4 ) there was at least 180mb.

Something strange?

Or simply 4.4 is a bit fat??

Btw again GREAT WORK!!!!!

PS: if using francokernel i suggest to use fixed version by osm0sis.

I got stuck at bootanimation without it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
It's because Shiny is very heavy (360MB). Normally ROMs weigh 150-200MB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
This rom include gapps in default install

360mb vs 170mb other aosp rom no gapps include... PAGAPPS = 200mb + 170 = aprox 370mb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weppa83:
does anyone succeed with the root?i do not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Don't forget about Banks GAPPS (Core = 16MB). I need only Banks GAPPS Core and don't see the point with install heavy GAPPS which weigh 200MB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mick.li:
How do you flash? Do you flash the ROM first and then right after (= before the first boot) the SU Update?

Mick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saeed14i:
Here's what I did:

1. Complete Wipe

2. Install Shiny ROM and reboot

3. Install Superuser app from Playstore and selected CWM/TWRP method to root and it auto rebooted to recovery mode, rooted the phone and rebooted ( I Didn't even flashed the Superuser.zip file)

Why don't you simply flash the ROM again without any wipes and then follow the above mentioned procedure. It should work cz it worked for me. Btw, i'm on PhilZ recovery so i'm not sure if its TWRP problem cz i think you mentioned that you are using TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skizofrenic:
Thanks to all for reply

To root i used nexus wug toolkit

Works like a charm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mick.li:
I'm using TWRP v2.6.3.2 and it is also working for me.

Mick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saeed14i:
[MENTION=3532327]Sesme[/MENTION] Is it possible to please release a version of the ROM without gapps preinstalled, so that users may install the Gapps according to their convenience and liking. Just a suggestion. Thank You for your Great Work. Working Awesome so far with ASKP Grande & Xposed (Gravitybox + App Settings + Xblast Tools + MinMin Modules) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
I think that won't be possible as he wants his ROM to be stock, complete stock.

Still let's wait for his reply!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beastie-boy:
Great rom! Stable and lag-free. This is the first time I don't want to go back to stock 4.3 I used before. Battery life is the only problem but ayway it lasts for about 20h for me. I think that there's little chance for anyone to improve this in GNex 4.4 rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hepi_hape:
22H on 4.4.2 is amazing man.. I never get that (just hold long for 8H)

-----------------

Wow, 300MB++ rom. Sory, Can you only upload just the rom without any gapp include :D

It help many people that not have good internet conection, (just my suggestion)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Nah the idea is it's updated/optimized Stock ROM, and stock has GApps included.

Edit: This was explained a page ago, come on people..

Here's a good question though, is Google Dialer included?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steelskinz:
Same here, if i wanna use vanilla i don't want to delete full of useless apps include in the zip file.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weppa83:
it works!

the trick so is to not flash the zip 1.91 but download SuperSu from PlayStoreand let the app SuperSu install root files!

thanks thanks thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Make your own add-on zip that deletes the gapps then and be proactive rather than complaining and asking the way Shiny ROM has always been be changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gabboplano:
Just a question: isn't it illegal to include GApps in a ROM? BAM ROM was banned from here for that reason

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siddardha21:
Yes osmOsis. Google dialer is working as it is intended to be. This is identical to stock rom on nexus 5. Hangouts is new messaging app. Google dialer fully functioning. GEL launcher. Everything. Loving this rom. It's just looks and feels like as if i received 4.4 official ota update. Thank you Baldwin and sesme!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotacorredor:
please leave it as it is, not sure why we all want the roms to end up being the same...:confused: for me personally this is exactly the kind of rom I'm looking for, I enjoyed AOKP and all other roms but the way I use it I only need HD widgets to get what I need right on my screen, torch, weather widget on lockscreen and a few other thing so a stock rom with a few optimizations fits my style, besides we all can get a root file explorer an delete what we don´t like.

slds,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aini12aian:
Yes it has. The one with the yellow page thing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
When I flashed the toro build on my maguro, there was Google dialer installed. In fact if this ROM is like its toro's brother, it doesn't come with aosp browser and comes with the ram heavy chrome. If you want aosp browser, refer back to the toro thread of the ROM at rootz. Aosp browser (and DSP manager) are offered as separate add-ons over there.

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

The ROM is supposed to make your phone feel like a stock nexus 5, so I guess that won't happen.

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

A stock Nexus 4 running KitKat uses about ~700 MB on the /system partition. So if you expect a ROM to mimic stock KitKat (and come with full GApps) to use less space, it will be tough for the developer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
They are offered here as well. You can check the 2nd post for add-ons. ;)

BTW, is it possible to flash toro builds on maguro!? Won't it cause any problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
There's a thread on flashing ROMs made for different variant and how to fix them so phone/SMS/data works. I'm pretty sure the thread tittle is "switch ROM across tuna devices" or something similar.

Oh looks like I didn't check it properly then if it's also linked here....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aini12aian:
Off Topic?

Does the Nexus 5 have the Chrome as the default browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
Yes, and if you flash Google Stock Gapps package on any AOSP ROM, it will replace every AOSP app (Browser, Messaging..) with Chrome & Hangouts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aHecticLife:
Be careful attaching GAPPS with the ROM. I hope there won't be any issues in xda because of this..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garuhhh:
Hi! This kernel is only for Toro. Is it possible to get one for Maguro?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
As far as I know tuna is tuna and there has never been a kernel that is "only for toro".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garuhhh:
I tried flashing the zip with CWM, and it gave me this error:

Any possible solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
Reinstall rom

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Don't use the zip labeled toro? :p

I was talking about kernels, ROMs are certainly variant specific.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garuhhh:
yeah.. I saw the "toro" only after flashing the zip :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pbls:
First time i used this rom manage to get it rooted,this time flashed Fancy kernel and now doesn´t get root..any hints?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadairfan:
Nope.. Flash SuperSU again I guess :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pbls:
Nothing..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hepi_hape:
is there any mirror ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] costlyman:
Yes, it would greatly help if there is a mirror link. Mega sucks.. i cannot download the file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saeed14i:
Download Supersu.Zip file from Chainfire's website and flash in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
[MENTION=3532327]Sesme[/MENTION] Yeah there is something weird about root on this ROM. Using my fixed franco.Kernel, which has a native SuperSU daemonsu service in init.superuser.rc that works on every other ROM, but for some reason doesn't here. My f.K also disables the install-recovery.sh service method (to avoid overlap), so the only way I get root is with the init.d script (which I can usually also delete).

Otherwise loving the ROM. I'll put up a mirror on my Dev-Host soon, and also make an add-on zip to remove the included GApps so people can use the ones they want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namelesske:
Fancy R45 is buggy, you cant root your phone on 4.4 and 4.3 too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hepi_hape:
Thank you for your respond about mirorring this rom, hope in next mirror root have not problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah I hope the next build/port fixes that too.. No idea why a ROM would interfere with a kernel's services running, especially the root daemon services in init.superuser.rc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
I'm uploading a new version correcting the problem that can not be root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Fantastic news! :)

Also, my Dev-Host Mirror and No GApps "Add-on" are live in the 3rd post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49799148#post49799148

I'll mirror your new one as soon as you post, I can download, and then reupload. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littlepaulie:
I know this is a stock(ish) rom, but does it have a feature to skip songs with volume buttons when the screen is off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
If Stock doesn't have it then Shiny doesn't have it. Consider it the same as Google Stock, just up-to-date.

However, if you want to add some features, it is also the perfect ROM for Xposed Framework and the Gravity Box module. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littlepaulie:
Just as I thought. Thanks for confirming that.

When using gravity box one cannot enable Art runtime. Is the difference in fluidity in your case worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Definitely. Many say ART may be faster at first, but still isn't as smooth over time as Dalvik, so until Google goes default with it, it remains experimental for a reason, and I see no reason to prefer it.

I also think Xposed is pure genius, as it allows both ROM and app hacking. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qf19910623:
It is a nice rom but the screen display is in blue.It will be better if the color was more normal...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
This is (unfortunately) what stock ROM is like currently (I run it on my N7 2013); still transitioning from Holo Blue to KitKat White.

I too would love to see a proper all white theme come out. AOKP had their default almost entirely white for a few nightlies there, but people complained so they reverted it and are currently in the process of completing a theme they will include in addition to the blue default. They've still got a ways to go with that as well however.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qf19910623:
My english is not good enough and maybe you mistake what I mean...

I mean that the screen show a blue color but not the blue theme just like many samsung amoled devices...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
No issue here. Use a custom kernel and fix your colors? GN users have required screen color tweaking pretty much since the device came out since the panels were so varied/bad.

Try out the latest franco.Kernel which came out tonight then grab Franco's free Nexus color app. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
New build

Fix rooting troubles only

If you no need root no need last versión.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mick.li:
So if I have root no need to upgrade?

Mick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
No

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
The new upload has the exact same issue. Somehow it isn't allowing init.superuser.rc to start the native daemonsu service like it should. With any other ROM I can delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/etc/init.d/99SuperSUDaemon after flashing SuperSU and the init.superuser.rc service in the franco.Kernel ramdisk maintains root.

I know this because I put that service there. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
I can root it with supersu 1.91 and cwm

No is a room trouble is yours

Reebot con recovery wipe cache & dalvik and install rom and supersu and have root.

Repeat no is rom bug

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
You're incorrect. As I already explained, if you delete the files I stated, but use a kernel that uses the native SuperSU service method in init.superuser.rc (as franco.Kernel does, and Chainfire has stated is preferred), it should still work, and does for every other ROM except this one.

So it's not my problem, it's this ROM's problem. Hopefully you better understand my explanation this time. I feel we may be losing something in translation here, so I apologize for any confusion. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Again. I apologize if we're having a communication issue here. Just understand that your ROM is not running ramdisk init.superuser.rc services like every other ROM does and this is a problem. If you refuse to see this and understand why this could be a symptom of a much larger issue, I'm afraid there's nothing else I can do.

I've reported the bug that exists only in your ROM, my due diligence is done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rixsta:
Thread Cleaned

Lets end this disagreement here please :highfive:

Also any other language than English is against our rules.

No need for aggressive posting either.

XDA is a community build on developers so respect their thread.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but does this issue have any direct effect on the performance / correct functioning of the ROM?

I really love this ROM, but I would like to know how this issue is affecting it in any way.

Thank you :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Typing getprop I can see all other init services run fine, just init.cm.rc and init.superuser.rc do not for whatever reason. Aside from root, which can still be maintained with the init.d or install-recovery.sh methods, this shouldn't affect anything for most kernels that I can think of.

In a nutshell: you can carry on and not really worry about it. Sesme has done a fantastic job bringing this toro ROM to us here on the maguro side and I got 0.2%/h idle drain overnight so I won't likely be changing ROMs any time soon either. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotacorredor:
Extremely happy with the ROM, thanks for clarifying that everything should run fine despite that root issue. So far the only thing I miss is a volume hack, default sound on this phone really sucks, any ideas?

Thanks again for this rom :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Misledz' Nexus Louder V9Beta2 should work great with this ROM. Also Xposed Framework with the Gravity Box module are where it's at for adding any other features you might want to a nice vanilla ROM like this one. :)
