I have to install a KitKat-based ROM on a friend's Galaxy Nexus.

It is not really an expert, so I should flash to his GNex a "stable" ROM, without major issues.

I was looking for the ShinyROM and CM11.

About Shiny ROM, do you found any major issue or small bug too? I mean like the issue with WhatsApp in the last update of the ROM (with the new permission committed to the AOSP KVT49L which is not yet compatible with WhatsApp)?

As I am understanding, the most "bug-free" release of the Shiny is the 2/9/14 build, right?

Thanks a lot guys :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that the WhatsApp support team emailed me saying that they plan on including the new permission in the next update for the app. So hopefully when the app updates there will no longer be any issues between it and the newest versions of the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xaifer:
I have reflashed the rom but I have the same issue. With roms like PAC-man I have no problem to view music track info on my radio car (I use google play music and I have a Ford Fiesta 2010 (Sixth generation)) while with this rom or with cyano doesn't work. I can change song track with car controls but I can't see the info about music track on the car radio screen.

If you could solve this issue your rom become the best.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sin007:
Yes, 2/9/14 build is bug free and very stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
Aren't there bugs like status bar lag, wifi not connecting automatically, and shuttering of music while locking ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
I am using the latest version (3/9/14) with Fancy Kernel and some adjustments (by me) to the settings of the Interactive governor, and have no problem. But I had to make these adjustments because I was having lags the buttons on the navigation bar, as i described here.

Sometimes have a little lag in the status bar, but not always. About "shuttering of music while locking" if you use a custom kernel, you can increase the maximum frequency when the screen is off, it will probably fix this. Also, try to only disable sound when locking the screen. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotacorredor:
great news... went a away for a few days trying roms out there but I'm defenitely a stock person :cool:I just don't have time anymore to be testing stuff anymore but won't settle for completly stock stuff just yet :D so this ROM just suits me perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
[MENTION=4951031]thomstrack[/MENTION]: thanks a lot :)

Does is WhatsApp working without issues and/or force closes on your GNex with latest build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
Believe it or not, I do not use WhatsApp. haha :p But the reports, is not working because of a new permission Which is not yet compatible with WhatsApp.

But apparently it will not be long:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotacorredor:
WhatsApp working just fine after dirty flashing latest version on top of latest having set up WhatsApp first.

Everything else working just fine so far as it was on earlier version :cool::cool:

cant root

fresh installation with faux kernel . flashed supersu1.93. binaries and data present in the system .but when i open the su app it says su binary doesnt found!!!

i think the problem was with kernel . now its good . btw whats the best kernel for this rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poltor:
for all those who have decided not to install this great rom

Notice that with the latest beta version of whatsapp available here

http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

the problem is no longer present! I thank the developer for his hard work [MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
Flash ROM, Flash SuperSU 1.93. Restart and open the SuperSU. After that, reboot into recovery mode and flash the desired kernel and flash then again SuperSU.

I had exactly the same problem with FancyKernel and doing this procedure worked. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] friedCELLS:
I tried to flash the bootloader from the op, but I get an error code 7 with something like "get prop = toro" . Does that mean that it's seeing my device as a toro? I have a maguro. Is something messed up in my system? How to fix this? I checked the build.prop but I only see maguro everywhere. Using CWM recovery....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Update to the latest CWM (currently 6.0.4.7) from my thread.

If you already are then it must be the zip still. I think Baldwin mentioned he needed to update a few of the add-on zips so that they aren't toro-specific anymore.

Use the zip from the xda GN Bootloader Collection thread I linked four pages back; the zips there don't have a variant check.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] friedCELLS:
Thanks. Already on latest CWM. I'll try your link. Much appreciated for all that you do. Peace out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
Hey guys! I'm having a strange problem, when set max CPU frequency to 1344Mhz or higher (with TricksterMod), some time after she returns to the default (1228Mhz). I'm using Fancykernel pre45-2-fixed and Shiny Rom. I contacted the TricksterMod developer and he said the app is setting correctly, but something is interfering it, some app or rom.

Any idea what it might be or any idea how I can figure it out?

Hi, I just wanted to say this is the best rom ever, I tried to go back to cyannogen but I regreted that and I came back to shiny, I love this rom so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alwarrior:
Very beautiful ROM: fast and stable. Is solved Whatsapp bug on last relase (March)???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
Install it from here:

Anyway, best ROM so far, I've tried CM11 and PA 4.2, and I got sick of new features that are buggy or slow down the GNex, this ROM just works like a charm, I hope it will be updated once 4.4.3 will be released (soon). :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marti_ns:
I tried CM and slimrom. This is pure and stable Android. Good work. Everything works just fine. At this moment the Best kit kat for Gnex. I just want to know when the blue accents (known from JB - Dialer, etc) are gonna be changed to light colors from KK.?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaNi_!:
The dialer is the stock Google version. While many colors changed to white, they still kept some colors blue like in the dialer. So it won't change for now, maybe in the next version of Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marti_ns:
In CM one day after update Dialer was gray, but ok. It does not spoil its functionality. Thanks for the answer.

Thank you!

I just wanted to thank you OP! My girlfriend still has a Galaxy Nexus and she just loves a stock experience, and doesn't want all the extra crap that is included with other ROMs. This is why I'm very happy that I bought her a GNex - even after a few years, there are still awesome developers that give this amazing device a breath of fresh air! Thank you again - cheers! :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sounava:
Thank you very much developer for this ROM. I was literally trying to find a Stock KK rom for my Gnex. This is just perfect. My device lives on!

Anyone else experienced crashes where the wallpaper defaults to ICS spectrum and the screen cycles from what you were doing to the lock screen numerous times?

This has occurred 3 - 4 times for me but is seemingly random so is difficult to reproduce.

Hey guys, I've just noticed my GPS is not working, I was on a interstate I couldn't get an exact lock on my position, my GPS was in high precision mode, then I changed my location settings yo GPS mode and I couldn't get a lock on my position, it wasn't even looking. Do you guys have any suggestions for me? I'm using shiny with Franco kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdgillihan:
Try using GPS Fix from the playstore. Once I installed and used that my gps started locking within seconds.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soy_Filipo:
Just downloaded it, how exactly does it work? Should I just open it and then open gmaps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdgillihan:
Open and let it get a fix on your location. Should lock in in less than 15 seconds. Then close it and try g maps to see if it helped. If nothing else you will know for certain if your gps is working if the app locks in on your location. If it does and you still have a problem, then it's probably not rom related, but a setting or mod or something like that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motorazrv3:
If your device is rooted you can also give faster gps a try.

Open the app, let it grand root and select your country. That's all.

Hi all,

Was wondering if this ROM is still going because the download to the latest version is like more than a month old from March 9th?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
It's a pure AOSP ROM, no need for update until 4.4.3 comes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
[MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION] - Read on Rootz that you were looking into adding Host Card Emulation (HCE) to the Galaxy Nexus. I'm pretty excited about this idea since I believe it's a shame Google dropped the first Wallet-supporting device.

I checked out the iFixit teardowns for a few devices and we might have some luck here:

Galaxy Nexus - NXP 65N00 Smart Card IC. According to Chipworks, this two-die package houses an MCU and a PN544 NFC controller.

Nexus 7 2012 - NXP 65N04 Integrated NFC Chip

If I follow your line of thinking, you could port the feature over and/or use the updated libraries?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lparcshinoda:
ROM is still a little buggy (I reported them earlier) and I don't think that each release of Shiny (more frequent than AOSP releases) is just and AOSP update, so your argument is invalid :) :P

Anyone has battery charging problem with this rom? My Nexus is charging the battery till 85%, than it goes in "non charging" mode.

I've already replaced the battery with a new one,re-flashed shinyROM, deleted batterystat.bin but the problem still remain.

Anyone with this bug? Any suggestion? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
I have battery charging problems with every ROM, so I guess it's hardware related (never changed battery or power supply).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sounava:
Who all has updated to the latest Google Camera?

The exposure compensation is not working for me. (this can be enabled from Settings -> Advanced -> Manual Exposure.

Can anyone else also confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DT84:
Same thing here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amphibioushero:
Maybe the battery was overheating? Trying checking the battery status via *#*#3646#*#* and see what it says.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
[MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION]

/system/app/Nfc.apk
/system/etc/nfcee_access.xml
/system/lib/libnfc.so
/system/lib/libnfc_jni.so
/system/lib/libnfc_ndef.so
/system/lib/hw/nfc.grouper.so

Pulled these from the latest grouper nakasi Factory Image (and Nfc.apk from a deodexed grouper Stock ROM since it's odexed in the Image).

Renamed nfc.grouper.so to nfc.tuna.so and replaced them all but Nfc.apk refuses to load. Possibly good news is I tried it again without replacing the apk and the libs seem to work. Doesn't add "Tap & pay" back or anything though; I take it there's some porting to be done on your side for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swedkg:
It happens to my phone as well, but is it ROM related or occurs to other ROMs as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bellanano:
It says nothing :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sounava:
Ok a small bug.

When the battery is low the lockscreen shows "Connect your charger".

It continues to show the same text even after the charger is connected. It should ideally show "Charging"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hmmmm I think you're probably correct - but that is definitely promising because it gives me somewhere to start when porting. It probably is doable, so I will have more on that as soon as I get a chance to dig deeper. So as of right now, I'm gradually working on a few things:

Waiting for 4.4.3 :)

Seeing if we can do anything with the new kernel/video lib stuff

Fixing miscellaneous bugs (WiFi stuff, the Google camera stuff, etc.)

So sorry for the huge delays with me in posting and replying to messages but I promise I'm not just ignoring you - I have been reading pretty much everything but school has been occupying virtually 100% of my time (I still do eat and sleep a little bit) so I haven't had a lot of time to work on Android things. Thanks for your patience and understanding and especially for your continued support! Shiny ROM is far from abandoned!

P.S. [MENTION=4000471]lparcshinoda[/MENTION] Thank you so much for posting all of that info a few pages back. I am going to look into that and your info makes it a lot easier. Please PM me if you find anything else related to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
[MENTION=2393080]baldwinguy77[/MENTION] Hey hey. :)

Looked into it a bit more and it seems we're all waiting on Google to add support for NXP chips to the HCE framework (in Nfc.apk). There have only been closed source implementations so far on Xperia Ultra Z and HTC One GPE.

Really good reading on the subject in this thread (only 6 pages):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573842

They attempted some lib replacements so far with no luck. There's also the decompiled JNI from the proprietary libs, maybe you could find what we need there.

There's also a rumor that 4.4.3 will have NXP HCE support, but there's a chance it will only be for the PN547 controllers, not the PN544 we and the Nexus 7 2012 have. If it does turn out to work there it will probably be the best place to port from. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acras13:
Hey guys , quick question about security with this ROM . I know officially 4.1.1 is the only version of android that is vulnerable to heartbleed , but I've heard rumors that say that might not be the case . I ran Lookout Security's Heartbleed detector and got the message "The version of OpenSSL on your device is affected by the Heartbleed bug (1.0.1e) " . It also says the vulnerable behavior is not enabled .

So, my question is what could enable the behavior? Is there a way to completely remove the vulnerability , did Google do so with the patch they worked on ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaich:
Same thing even with other ROM - the one from signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Works on my N7 '13 but not on my GN. I think it's just a small screen size thing Google will have to fix in their next version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey guys! I have a little message for everyone (I'm posting this on all of the Shiny ROM forums since it applies to everyone), I have my last final exam tomorrow! While that may not be as exciting for you as it is for me, it means that I'll be getting back to work on Shiny ROM to fix bugs, answer questions, and maybe do some other things with the ROM ;) This means that there will definitely be a Shiny ROM update in May, and that it will hopefully fix any of the remaining bugs people have been talking about.

Thanks to everyone for your continued patience and helpfulness here in the thread! I really still appreciate your support, and I look forward to seeing where Shiny ROM can go now that I have time to work on it again :) Even though Shiny ROM is simply a stock ROM, I think it is truly exceptional not because of something that I built, but because of the community that all of you have built! With all of my rooting, hacking, ROMing experience back to the OG Droid days, this community is one of the best I've ever seen. Thanks again for all of your support and for bearing with me and my busy schedule!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antonio8297:

I have changed my GNex ROM from slimkat build4 to this ROM. This Rom is incredible and very nice. It is Very smooth and stable and it is very similar to stock 4.4.2 Rom is installed on my friend's Nexus5!! ;) thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsaneNutter:
Just wanted to say thanks for the great ROM, i've been using CM11 since of unofficial builds last December, then the official builds through the various M builds. However unfortunately despite supposed to be stable i've noticed a lot of crashes with CM11 M6, along with general bugs / things not working quite right for quite a while, despite a few wipes.

Shiny rom appears to be very smooth, stable and best of all as close to stock as possible. All i have done is rooted and applied the patch to remove the CRT screen off, along with installing Nova Launcher. Overall i'm very happy with the rom, so a huge thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliesz:
When will this great rom be updated to new features?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdgillihan:
Shh! Don't tell anyone else, but I heard that it will be updated....in the future ;)

Please remember, when asking for and receiving help don't just say thanks, click it too.?

Soooo... I've heard that Android 4.4.3 changelog has been pushed to AOSP, I guess source code will be too soon and I can't wait to see the next version of this ROM. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpiderWolf:
Is this ROM have that real dark theme?

I realy don't like the whith theme of the contact menu :rolleyes:

Read the OP, you will find your answer there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpiderWolf:
I did read it and i know that that's is a stock android but a did ask ppl who use this rom to confirm and if the dark theme is not 1 of the option then i will search how to bring it to this ROM because i really like the dark theme voila:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It's pretty straight forward. Stock Android doesn't have it, so neither does Shiny. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worhello:
If you really want it, you'll have to get xposed, and theme it that way :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpiderWolf:
Is there any module for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afextwin:
I love this AOSP-like ROM. Thank you so much for giving new life to my dying Nexus!

I was running the final nightly from TeamEOS4 for the last year and I loved it, but I just wanted an update so I tried your ROM first and have not felt the need to try another.

Your ROM is buttery smooth, and the fact that you were kind enough to include some very useful files in your OP really impressed me.

Switching to your ROM, I also updated my basebands and got slightly better 3G/voice service at my house.

Switching to your ROM also let me have a non-rooted device AND have native tethering - a blessing for me since I still have unlimited 4G.

My only complaint so far is that I just can't get HTML5 video to play in the updated Chrome browser that downloads from the play store - I have not tried the factory installed version.

Thanks again guys, this ROM made my phone a beast again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worhello:
AFAIK there's a module for themes in the download section of the xposed installer app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
They're not cool like a theme engine though. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .B.0.W.:
and don't work the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah that's what I meant. :p

Too bad someone can't fully port a theme engine to Xposed. That would be badass.

Thinking of trying this ROM, I've seen everyone say good things about it. But how is it in terms of stability and bugs?

Currently I'm using CM 11 M5, is there anyone here who came from that? What was your experience like?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotacorredor:
This thing is better than stock, I would even say bugless and more stable than a stock rom. There is no going wrong with this one if you just want to relax and use the same rom for a while. It can be as customizable as other roms out there with xposed framework

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhuberto:
Any mod to remove the search bar:confused:

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpiderWolf:
HERE use this module but you need to instal the Xposed Installer first

You can customize the whole launcher and u can also instal it from the playstore to get easely the updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KaiZ51:
That's exactly what I needed and how I was thinking of using it. So it seems perfect for me, I'll have to flash it soon. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotacorredor:
I would say that the only thing missing is that it lacks a sound mod as default volume on this phones is horrible so I would recommend installing one, there is a link on this thread if you're interested

Why do you need updates when the rom is completely stable? Also the dev was busy with his exams and he'll be back soon so let's just wait for him. I'm supporting this ROM too!

Thanks a lot. But increasing of stability is one of the several reason for which the developers update their released ROM. Any way I hope the developer will pass his exams successfully. :)
