Sorry but I'm not able to root this awsome ROM.. I tried the both zip file from OP (2.0 and 2.2) but it don't give me nothing (supersu aren't in system app) so I install it from playstore but it tell me I don't have binary installed..

I flash by TWRP recovery. I'm in f2fs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tripfish:
Hey,

I've switched from 4.1.2 to the latest Shiny ROM (4.4.4) with latest DirtyV Kernel.

When I'm in vibrate mode, I always get a vibration notification (2 short vibrations) when I receive a message (gmail, sms, etc.).

It's independent from the in-app specifc vibration, which is disabled.

Where can I disable this global vibration? I can't see any option under settings.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soy_Filipo:
Somethimes I feel the best edition of Shiny was 4.4.2... after that, everything went downhill for me... how does this last update works? I still have high hopes for you shiny!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
It's working great: what do you miss?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [sito_web]:
Anyone can help me with my root problem? I wrote 2-3 post early. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abadroot:
I'm in

Only to say ... "I'm in, Shiny ROM flashed!"

ToDo: install Franco Kernel r396

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazykool9:
Just a follow up, i've been using this ROM for about 6 weeks now.

With the phone clean, it was silky smooth, but when crowded with apps i was experiencing some slowness on multiple tabs of google chrome and/or using whatsapp groups (which was causing play store process to force close and my main screen to reload).

Part of the issue was fixed by uninstalling the facebook app which seems to be a memory hog, but the slow-downs were there. Then, i decided about a week ago to change the kernel, and i got the Fancy r54 one. All my problems disappeared, the phone is much faster and responsive like a fresh install.

So, shiny rom with the 21/6/14 build and fancy r54 (latest) are doing the trick for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GunFishin:
Latest Shiny + DirtyV + F2FS = Awesome!

So I was finally able to convert my files system to F2FS and convert the latest version of Shiny (8/9/14) to F2FS. Flashed converted Shiny and the latest DirtyV kernel and my Galaxy Nexus is running super smooth. This is about as stable as I think the GN is going to get. If I want anything faster then I'm going to have to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [sito_web]:
just to say: can I flash the stock kernel of this rom in f2fs? because when I convert to f2fs the rom, it inject fancy r54 as kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E66666666:
My Galaxy Nexus running ShinyROM isn't seeing any WiFi hotspots, turning it on and off doesn't help much. It's been rooted and Xposed+GravityBox [KK] have been installed, as well as Dsploit. The phone worked fine with these apps until a few hours ago (I only installed Google Cardboard, but removed that).

While in Safe Mode, WiFi works normally. Rebooting back and the WiFi problem is the same. The WiFi icon also doesn't display in the statusbar.

What can be happening? I tried logcat to see what could be wrong but I have no clue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
As first step you should try unistalling Xposed and/or any other complex apps that are interfering with the OS. After that, try flashing again the rom after a full clean data. I can assure that it isn't a "shiny" problem so if anything solves the problem it may be an HW failure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliesz:
I think that problem is not because of shiny rom.. Maybe some parameters setting in the gravity box software are not set correctly. Check them again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E66666666:
So removing those did nothing either, but I did a factory reset and all is fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hordarian:
Care to share how? I can convert the filesystems to F2FS with TWRP, but I've been completely unable to install Shiny via sideload from that same TWRP (symlink error)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boorce.com:
To install Shiny on F2FS you have to remove applications (some Google app) from the ROM zip. The block size of F2FS is greater than ext4, so small files uses more space.

The symlink error is du to filesystem space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tripfish:
Hello,

I've switched from 4.1.2 (CM) one week ago...

One thing I've noticed is the GPS accuracy. I'm using the navigation (on foot and car) very often. This weekend I've used the navigation for some days in citys and on street. The accuracy was very bad (about 20-50 meters). The navigation often calculates a new route because of false location data. I've never noticed this with 4.1.2.

The location accuracy is set to high. Installed GPS Status, made a agps data reset... Installed GPS fix and FasterGPS, but without any change... But it's not a issue with the fix.

Any ideas how to increase the accuracy?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hordarian:
Decided to just run with Shiny rather than worry about F2FS.

Its amazing. Out of all the builds of all the ROMs I've used on all the devices over the years its the only one that is entirely glitch free and smooth, just like stock AOSP on a Nexus. I miss a quick setting to toggle auto-rotate, but I'll forgo this one feature - its nice to have something that just works for a change.

Top job! Shame I can't find anything like it for the Galaxy S4...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caurusapulus:
Root the device and install xposed framework + GravityBox. Then you can organize, add, remove every tile you desire, and of course a ton of other things.

It's worth the effort ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hordarian:
I'd rather use Cyanogen, or Paranoid, or Omni, or any other true custom ROM than mess around with Xposed. It's only one tile, the rest I used to mod for is now in stock Kitkat so I can put up with it for the sheer stability and performance I'm getting. Just a shame I know the S4 I'm getting (for an exceptionally low price) has no equivalent to Shiny I can find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GunFishin:
Use the F2FS Rom Converter tool found here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/tool-galaxy-nexus-ext4-to-f2fs-rom-t2794702

Wish Shiny ROM you'll want to use the option of purging APKs. Purge all of them except for velvet.apk. After that you should be able to flash the converted ROM with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hordarian:
Ahh, thanks - I did purge the ones I don't use but not everything, so went with a standard installation instead for now. It's working so well I'm not sure I can find the motivation to change to F2FS and the custom kernel required.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devicer:
Am I the only one that recently experience great UI lags and high battery drain with Shiny+F2FS+Fancy_r55?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
fancy_r55 is not so great... a little buggy -> try the latest r56_1 which solves most of the issue :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alwarrior:
I have noticed that since version 4.4.3 of Shiny rom the phone slows after few week from installation. I tried fancy kernel and stock kernel but is the same, after 2-3 week from rom flash the system lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
Same thing here, I don't know what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tripfish:
Tried to execute the fstrim function manually?

For example with LagFix Free from Play Store.

Or with Synapse you can set "Suspend Trim". It will perform the filesys trimming when the screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
Wasn't autotrim part of Android 4.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tripfish:
Yes, but it will be executed only in this case:

For me it's not often, if you don't charge at night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
OK, but still, I wasn't experiencing such a lag till Shiny 4.4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwertzboy:
I tried lag fix app with f2fs shiny and it showed that it is not supported. I used dirtyV kernel. So maybe lag fix will not work with f2fs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
Exactly. Anyway I don't get all this excitement for f2fs

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nu_skool:
Not sure what changed but I've been using 4.4.3 version of this rom for months and it's been great. Over the last week or so battery drain has been terrible. I've tried several batteries and it's the same. I can't seem to put my finger on what's changed. Anyone have any suggestions for finding what's causing it (I'm not rooted)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caurusapulus:
Maybe too wakelock?

Try betterbatterystats: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nu_skool:
I'm just investigating that. Couldn't understand why all of a sudden it just went terrible. It looks like from initial testing it might be related to Google Now's location search stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwertzboy:
Can someone certainly confirm that lagfix is in android 4.4?

Or was it only because of the gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
Yes, fstrim (running on certain conditions) is there since 4.3. I still suggest using lagfix or discard option on /data

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus utilizzando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alwarrior:
I tried to run fstrim but there's nothing to do, Android continues to lag. For example some times to open whatsapp are needed 7/8 seconds, web navigation with Chrome is impossible. (I tried also ram optimizer system booster ecc...)

I think I will return to Shiny 4.4.2 that has never given problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
Mount the /data with discard option!

Can I convert this ROM in f2fs simply changing the 3 lines into into updater-scripts that mount system and data partition?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
Chrome navigation is impossible on stock 4.3 too. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alwarrior:
Thank you man!!! I discovered the great world of Galaxy Nexus storage problems. (bad chip, not working trim, slow storage speed). Now I have 4.4.2 and after fstrim with discard option the performances are acceptable. In general, the storage speed remains below other Gnex owners and now I have to understand why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoftWord:
A F2FS version please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xarda:
works very well, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdcnosse:
The kernel that comes with the ROM is stock 4.4 correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
yes, modified by [MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION] to work with the device and kept purely stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xky1980:
Hi, I have WiFi issues with the last release. After rebooting the device, it's impossible connect to WiFi networks. The gnexus can't discover anymore networks. I have done a full wipe before installing the ROM form recovery. I tried two times to flash the rom but after rebooting always the same thing. Anyone has the same problem? How can I solve this? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alwarrior:
Run ext4 to f2fs converter to prepare Shiny ROM, install TWRP recovery with f2fs support, convert your partitions and install Rom, kernel (f2fs compatible) and supersu if you want to be root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
I've had the SAME issue after selecting the "Wireless Display" option into Display -> Screen Broadcast ... don't know if it's your situation. Anyway a FULL wipe will surely solve the problem (it's not a ROM issue because it's working for a lot of people).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xky1980:
Thanks disabling it and rebooting it works without wiping

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjspring:
Just installed ShinyROM last week, wow - what a difference this makes (came from stock). Many thanks to the developers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hordarian:
FWIW Clockwork Mod Recovery is no good if you encrypt your device. TWRP is the better option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjspring:
Well, everything has been running very smoothly so far - but I'm starting to get really bad battery drain (battery will die over the course of five or six hours and phone will get pretty hot). Luckily I have a second battery that I use, but I'll probably jump to OmniROM before long since they appear to have ongoing nightly development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GilGameshn1:
Change The Kernel . ?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjspring:
Thought about that, but first I checked the battery stats and it said that 'google services' was eating up the most battery. Went into locations and set it to 'battery saver' to see what happens.

Update - this helped a little with the batter, but I decided to install the franco kernel to find out if it improves further

Update#2 - phone flaked out with franco kernel. Decided to install OmniRom with Franco Kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Osid:
[MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION] , what about integrating in ShinyROM new GPU drivers from TI, as explained in this XDA article?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
Soooo, will you really do that? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpiderWolf:
Laaag

I'm facing a strange lag this 2 or 3 last weeks :( I am the only 1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
[MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION] left the developing of this rom some time ago - anyway if the new GPU drivers will become stable and start spreading in the community we'll point to him or someone else to go on with its work to give a plain stock rom for gnex (for sure the next L release won't be supported by Shiny, anyway).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
How to get free space on the system partition?

I converted the ShinyROM using ext4_to_F2fs, removed several of GAPPS, and even then the partition is left with only ~ 50Mb free.

Note: Maps, Google+, Play Music, Keep, etc. .. are installed in /data/apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
Remove some gapps and libs than scripts and change others you have mms no hangouts.

the rom f2fs run's great¿?¿

I have 13600p on Antutu benchmark with fancy r59 u can't update or upgrade kernel if you like.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
Thanks. I will try on the weekend. :)

You run full f2fs? (/data, /cache and /system).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
Yes full f2fs

Use adb sideload to install
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
I have a OTG-cable :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
I running Shiny full f2fs and the performance is simply AMAZING!

I installed today, but for now is amazing! [emoji2]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sesme:
This is performance no-oc fancy r59 and full f2fs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
Yeah! Same here! Its amazing! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
I went back to Shiny 4.4.2, starting from 4.4.3 I experienced some serious lags that fstrim partially solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
I use latest build on full f2fs and FancyKernel r59 and the overall performance is simple amazing!

Had never achieved a performance close to the 4.3 performance, and so for the first time I got it with f2fs. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grh35:
Did you convert the rom to f2fs format or is the rom already f2fs in downloads thread? And how is the battery performance so far?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
The battery performance is same for me.

For converter, i use this tool: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/tool-galaxy-nexus-ext4-to-f2fs-rom-t2794702

and remove various gapps, for system partition do not get too full.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
What is the space requirement of the f2fs version of Shiny? And /mode=noob is TWRP recovery required (or any other additional step like formatting and such) /mode=off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
I remove almost all gapps from ROM for install. F2fs uses more space.

I used twrp form FML: Fork My Life thread.

Check this post in DirtyV, it links to a few tutorials. Back up EVERYTHING (music, photos,etc) to your computer because it WILL wipe everything.

Sorry to bother you [MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION], but once I got back to your 4.4.2, I noticed it really was much smoother than 4.4.3/4, why that?

Going from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3/4 shouldn't be much of a difference, do you have any guess of what could slow down my Galaxy Nexus that much just few days/weeks after the installation? Kernel changes?

Hello guys

Is that normal that i have google services on top?

I'm facing a weird lag and bugs this last 2 weeks

I'm on the latest build of Shiny ROM and my google sync is OFF

Any idea plzz ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
It may be normal depending on the use of the services that you or your phone is making: google services are pretty random. Maybe it was a background sync or update of gms-core, who knows? Anyway it's totally NOT rom related.

About the weird lag the only thing you can do is to clean the device with full wipe and start back again with clean install...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbsev:
Deleted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JST99:
Partially true. However, some Devs are making great progress with some L ROMs, and I would say that they are promising. It would be great to see Shiny ROM continue on, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Gang,

A thank you to BWG, who did terrific work on Shiny for those who are on it, and who may stay on it.

For myself, I'm wrapping up one week on FML 5.0.2 with smitty's R6 kernel on it, and although the ROM/Device itself still has a bit of tweaking to do, I've made the transition to Lollypop.

Shiny still exists as a back up on my device should the need arise.

I'm on the FML thread and the kernel thread, and of course available by PM if need be. And I'll check the thread from time to time ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irish_711:
I tried FML with smitty's kernel for a few days, but there was severe and drastic battery drain. I enjoyed the experience for a bit, but Shiny is by far the best ROM right now. Lollipop isn't bad, but GNex is a KitKat phone, for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
I agree, right now, Shiny 4.4.2 is the ROM running the best on my Galaxy Nexus. Too bad I want to move to lollipop before buying a new phone in few months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bernardblack76:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Hi users of Shiny rom, I'd like to ask you a question: are you having constant Google Play Services FCs?. I'm using another AOSP rom and lately I'm having such problem. It seems it is location related due to a Google Play Services update.

Thanks!.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] draganmk:
No such thing. I've been using Shiny for a long time and it is one of the best roms on my phone.

Lately I've been experimenting with some LP roms, but still there are to many bugs or things that do not work. After those LP roms I've tried several KK roms, but still returned to this rom. It's the only one where everything works as it should.

In my opinion this KK rom works in a way like google it self made it for Galaxy Nexus. And about those bloatware... you can always uninstall them using a tool like SD maid or similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ClovisHD:
Just reporting a serious issue i had that almost caused the GN to get on fire. It was software related since it all worked fine after a factory image restore.

Also, as a quick note to everyone, there is technically a new build of Android being pushed to AOSP although it probably only affects the 2013 LTE Nexus 7. Either way, I'll probably still push out a new build just for the sake of having the latest build number ;)

Specifically

repo sync

lunch shiny_maguro-user

It's correct in order to build ShinyROM for maguro with latest AOSP code?

Trying to do that I've seen that I'm unable to build 'cause lunch doesn't find aosp_maguro.mk . Also manifest of ShinyROM doesn't use as default remote aosp android-4.4.2_r2

One gripe I've always had with stock is the way it disables certain apps on boot by region, like Wallet and Ears. Any chance you could fix that for the next version?
