oh ok, i was just trying to learn how to mod shiny using one/both of them. Im new to the frameworks game...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatsix:
Is anyone else having issues with placing widgets on the home screen of the google launcher?

Gmail, news, calendar all cause google search to force close when adding those widgets.

Music, clock, youtube widgets are fine.

This aggravating.

It doesn't matter if NOW is on or not or the search bar on or off via gravity box.

Updated search and launcher, rolled back the updates, cleared data. WTF
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Just tried it, it works fine for me. Using a different kernel or anything else out of the ordinary? I know you said you're using gravitybox but I am too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatsix:
Stock kernel.

It does it even on a fresh install with no addons.

Its not just this ROM, it did it to me on Vanir as well. So its either my phone or something I'm doing wrong. And its only with the GEL launcher. Launcher 3 wont crash, but then again it doesn't have NOW built in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Just a thought but if you have another gmail account to try see if it's something with that. Maybe there's a search privacy setting you have enabled or disabled that's causing a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Have you tried wiping system in your recovery manually before installing the ROM? I just read about a similar issue and that was the cause. When you install a ROM, it backs up the gapps and restores them so you don't have to flash gapps every time. If you are coming from a different ROM, this can cause issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatsix:
Yes. I hail from the time where manual wiping was a necessity. Im about ready to just format the entire sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wackychimp:
Installed about 2 weeks ago and have had a terrible time with sms / texts going through. They typically show up as not sent but sometimes send anyways. This morning it sent the same text to my wife 5 times, while never showing me that it sent at all (still had the animated "sending" dots). EDIT: Happened again today 15 copies of the SAME TEXT were sent, while my phone didn't think it had sent at all.

Tried hangouts for the first week then loaded a different messaging app and have been using that for about 10 days (Sliding Messaging). Same problems. I am in my home area where I never had trouble before and was even in NYC last week so coverage isn't the problem.

Anyone else seen this? Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyclingroo:
I've had problems with various KitKat ROM's and their associated SMS/MMS settings. Almost always, the problem stems from carrier configurations - especially MMS configs. For my problems, I had to get a tool that would help with APN configuration. There are quite a few of these in the Play Store. But I used APN Settings to get the right carrier APN info configured.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wackychimp:
Thanks for the response. How can I find the right APN info for my phone? (Galaxy Nexus on Verizon)

And is it something I have to set after every reboot or just a one time setting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyclingroo:
You can get APN settings here.

Nav Bar

Hello, the rom works great, but when I flash the smaller nav bar (36 dpi) mod, the default back button is bigger than the home and recents softkeys. The sizing is more even on the other add-on softkeys like the black bars and white zenith. Also, are there any other options for soft keys I can flash? I'd love to get ones like the Moto or sony types.Thanks for such a great, stable KK option for my beloved, well aged phone :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoxRedEye:
Is screen record working for anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Have you tried using xposed framework and a module like gravitybox to change the navbar size instead? Also I think there is an xposed module to do other softkey styles. I had just used the Inman mod since I like the zenith, 36 DPI and have a 2100 mah battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidsBeforeBoids:
Oh, yeah I haven't done anything like that yet. I'll try it out. Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
You can use CM11 themes using the HKthememanager module. I'm trying to get used to AOSP, since i'm stuck with Big red, and going to get a M8, and flash a GPE ROM. I'm trying to stay stable. Also, will there be a 4.4.3 update for this ROM? Will it use OTA, or will I have to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Baldwinguy77 recently posted in the thread for the maguro version. Looks like he's working on 4.4.3 but has a lot on his plate with school.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey guys! I'm happy to say that 4.4.3 is up and running on the GNex (before I even have it on my Nexus 5, might I add) and it seems pretty nice! But I'm unhappy to say that I didn't get to put on some of the finishing touches before I had to go to work :( Therefore, the build probably won't be available until later today, around 6 PM EST or so. Sorry, but I think it will be worth the wait! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doctor Dedroid:
Will google wallet tap-n-pay work on this rom with the gnex by any chance? I the version I have on my GNex is 2.0-R155-v15-release I *think* in early march and didn't upgrade to the latest wallet on my still stock but rooted gnex... and it says "Tap and pay: unavailable" in the settings. I got to use it exactly ONCE in mid march! You'd think the Boston MetroWest area has lots of places where the thing would work... but you'd be wrong!

I just want to know if I can get tap and pay back on my gnex... I still have earlier version apks too...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Agh, I understand completely! I live in Pittsburgh and there are a few places that have the capability, but not many. There are a lot of pop (translation: soda) vending machines that have it though. Anyways, Tap and Pay no longer works on the GNex because it doesn't support host card emulation. However, there might be hope for it being fixed in the future if Google adds support for the GNex's NFC driver. I haven't gotten a chance to look at it with 4.4.3 yet, but maybe there is something there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Sweet! How's it going for the toroplus? Ive been playing ingress all day on this, I love it. Also, will grouper be updated as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doctor Dedroid:
Shouldnt an earlier version still work though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey man! I'm glad to hear you like it :) Grouper will be updated by the end of today, just have to see if my friend is able to build it. If not, I'm going to do it when I get home.

Toroplus is still giving me some problems but now that 4.4.3 is almost done for the current devices I'm going to work on it some more :)

Unfortunately not. The only solution to get Tap & Pay working again will be to get HCE working for our GNex NFC drivers. I'm going to look into that soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Doesn't look like the battery mod works... Hm... the original SU won't work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Mods haven't been updated for this one yet - make sure to check the dates by the developer name :)

As for SU, make sure you're using the newest (1.99r3) SuperSU. I've updated the links in the OP and download post for the new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddmclw:
Loving this! MMS works fast and data handoffs are working also. My new daily driver :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simpledesign:
Anyone using this rom? Any issues? Btw only rom to be on 4.4.3 lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I just updated the download post with a new build that fixes the ART compatibility issue. If you don't plan on using ART, I wouldn't even bother downloading/flashing it. Other than that, all of the other information in the 6/4/14 build information post still applies :) Hope it still works very well for everyone!

I had to roll back a few of the Google apps to get this working again (and to fit it on toro - that's right, the Google apps are getting too big for the GNex :/). Anyways, nothing else is really changed since these apps will just update from the Play Store anyways. Hope this works well for everyone!

Thank you for the continued support! :D I should be around for a little bit longer, but I might try to actually get some sleep tonight :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
Just wanted to say, before downloading and flashing, thank you so much! You're one of the best developers I've seen around here (on the same level as XBoxExpert, who developed for the Sero 7 Pro). Thank you for keeping our devices on the bleeding edge and being so user friendly!

*Update: Been running this with root since last night. No issues at all. I have xposed with gravity box and modaco. Everything seems to be working great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OneChaos:
Thank you baldwinguy77! I flashed this onto my brother's phone and it is now running smoother than ever. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Its been my daily driver for ages. I'm probably going to look for a decent kernel with doubletap2wake and fast charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Thanks for the support guys! :) I'm really glad to hear this one is working out for everyone, I think it might be one of the best builds yet! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simpledesign:
Any issues that you know of or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I've literally had two random reboots for the past two months. I'm on Franco now, for touch control and fast charge, since I'm about to do the wireless charging mod. I love this ROM. I'm going to miss my gnex when I switch carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simpledesign:
So nothing really so far?

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

Does xposed work on 4.4.3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crs7:
Thanks for the update. So is everyone just sticking with the kernel that rom comes with? or you guys flashing a different kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
I'm on Franco for fast charge and touch control, with the occasional over clock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
Xposed works great. No issues at all. As I wrote above I've been using Gravity Box and MoDaCo Toolkit since day one.

I have been sticking with the stock kernel. I can't speak to battery life because I almost always have it on a charger, but I'd say its similar to stable CM10.1.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Any bugs with this ROM? Trying to get back to using stock-based ROMs on all my devices (Gnex, G2, and Nexus 7) for stability and then tweak things with Xposed. Don't feel like dealing with the issues in custom ROMs anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoxRedEye:
This rom is solid. Stable; I'd say hell yeah. Honestly; it's the only KitKat rom I run. Throw in Xposed with GravityBox and you're good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
The only strange thing I've seen is a superuser request from "Android System UID". I granted permissions and haven't seen it since.

I've tested Bluetooth on multiple devices, NFC, GPS, and pretty much every other function you can think of. Yesterday I was tracking a bike ride on Endomondo while streaming Pandora over 4G and sending MMS and this thing didn't skip a beat. Its a beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maximinus I:
I have to throw my hat in on how good this rom is. I've been using it for two days now and no problems whatsoever. Thank you for your hard work on this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmagsho:
What kind of battery life are you guys seeing with the stock kernel? I'm averaging about 10 hours worth moderate use. Curious to see what other kernels may benefit here. I was spoiled on PA where I was consistently getting 18-20 hours on the stick kernel. .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AuroEdge:
What battery are you using? How long have you been using it? Yesterday I did a bit of navigation and Google music streaming on top of normal usage. Went through the day till after I went to sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
You might just need a new battery. My buddy has great battery life on this ROM, while I dont, unless I use my stock battery. I have heavy usage though, I can knock out this 5900mah thing in 12 hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maximinus I:
If I keep the data off then all day. But it drains fast when I actually use it. I have the Samsung extended battery if that makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmagsho:
I'm using a 2100 mah battery that is about 3 months old. Picked it up on Amazon for about $15.

It's not the battery as I can get nearly double the life with other Roms. If anything, i'm guessing it's the kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pattyboi:):
Can someone (if they have time) make me a updater-script to make the ROM mount and format as f2fs please I don't have computer access right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snowcraig:
I'm liking this ROM with xposed. Two problems though, how do I get charging LED back, and how can I get the Now Launcher to auto rotate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RepeatUntilTheEnd:
I think I found my first minor bug. For some reason I can't play embedded YouTube videos. If I launch the app I can play the same video fine, but trying to play the video from a website only shows black screen with pause icon and the bar at the bottom. Anyone else confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afextwin:
I had this issue on 4.4.2, but a chrome and youtube update seemed to have fixed the issue. It's not just YT, it was all HTML5 videos. Like those from youporn...and I'll just end this with a quote from BHG, "You can not imagine how difficult it is to hold a half gallon of moo juice and polish theone-eyed gopher when your doin' seventy-five in an eighteen-wheeler.

I've been using this for a few days now... Very impressed. I don't care to try other custom ROMs, this is as stable as it gets. Thanks baldwinguy, perfect ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow Death:
When did you get a Gnex? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
have had one for months. got an insane deal on eBay for a new in box 32gb, but just activated it. happy to retire my old bolt, and satisfied by my gnex. looks like I got a good one. nice to see there's people I know around here, and nice hearing from you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow Death:
I snagged mine from a local around my area. He originally wanted 50 for it but had someone he was going to sell to. Threw 80 at him and he sold it to me. My bolt died that same day I went to go get it. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
nice, almost like you were meant to have it! considered my options, carriers and all, but got VZW to let me take over my family's account, add my company discount on service, and, most importantly, keep my unlimited. very happy. some great developers are still around for the gnex too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow Death:
The only downside that you will notice is that the battery life is half that of the T-bolt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
I picked up a zero lemon extended life battery. been solid so far. I don't mind the added bulk at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
Same battery I use. You'll love it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlvlawrence:
Is the gnex worse when it comes to battery life than the thunderbolt? I always heard so many bad things about it. I can't imagine worse battery life than the gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrk190:
My buddy had the thunderbolt, his battery was way worth. We both had extended battery's of the same size, his would die in half a day...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
yes. the gnex gets far worse battery life than the bolt, comparing both on their last OTA. however, I enjoy(ed) both devices, and can't say I had a negative experience on either due to battery life, or in general. as always, choice of ROM/kernel, prop tweaks, custom scripting, and extended batteries can greatly mitigate, if not render null altogether, battery woes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umataro42:
Just wanted to say thanks for keeping Shiny ROM up to date with 4.4.3!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenihilist:
Is anyone else having a major slow down in performance 2 days or so after flashing this? For those that don't experience this; do you avoid using gravity box? Or use a custom kernel?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AuroEdge:
I avoid Gravity Box and no longer use a custom kernel. Pretty good performance I'd say
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenihilist:
Thanks! I'll give it a go and see if I get the same results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoxRedEye:
Honestly, I use Gravity Box and I'm running the latest DirtyV kernel clocked at 1.5 and everything is fast and smooth. I don't have a single issue at all. If you haven't tried it, Clean Master from the Play Store is an excellent system cleaner. It really helps in keeping your device running and feeling snappy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maximinus I:
I'm using the stock kernel and gravity box. Everything is alright here?

Through the years it seems like all ROMs slow after a couple days. I don't know why but I've noticed that all the time. The first day everything flies
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afextwin:
Shouldn't be an issue anymore, TRIM was not implemented in the past but I think 4.2.2 fixed that. If you have root, just download LagFix Free or run the fstrim commands from a shell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoxRedEye:
Everything is gonna fly the first day couple of days but, after downloading apps, various files; after running games and everything else that stores cache and hitting up some porn sites that send you malware and other bs etc. etc. etc.- the device will slow down. If you use stock kernel or custom kernel; stick with stock settings or don't go crazy with tweaking it. And if you do some daily or even weekly system clean outs, you'll be good to go. My honest opinion of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AuroEdge:
Unfortunately there's not much that can be done. There are certain kernels and settings you can try which speed things up a little bit. In my opinion the risk of bugs and instability are not worth it. The storage on the galaxy nexus is mostly to blame and is rather slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OneChaos:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
hmm... I never encountered even small issues on your ROM, but I don't ever use Bluetooth or NFC, and rarely use GPS. still, overwhelmingly positive experience on shiny.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickZee10:
Hey, I'm upgrade from the 6/14 build and I wiped cache and dalvik and it seems to be stuck in a bootloop?

Could it be something with the battery mod I also installed with it? I got both from your downloads page.

Cheers

EDIT: So I re-flashed the 6/21 build without the 2100 mAh battery mod and it worked just fine.

Interesting..

If you can wait, the dev who usually created those mods is working on updating them. May want to keep an eye on this thread.

Well hello there Irish. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irish_711:
Lol. Yeah, I decided to come over to the GNex a few months ago. Still got the old TBolt though. It's my media device. I've seen a couple infected fellas in the Kindle Fire HD threads as well. It's a small world when you pick the right devices. [emoji1]

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow Death:
Yeah but unfortunately my contract ends on the 7th and I have a m8 screaming my name. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irish_711:
Funny. I'm due for an upgrade right now, and my first thought was the M8. Part of me is telling me to hold off until the Android Silver line starts rolling out. With devs like baldwinguy, it makes it easier to hold out. Same with the TBolt. Held out as long as Santod was around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
Understandably so, sick phone!

Yeah, I'll buy my next outright, so, about the same for me with any decision. Would take a beast of a phone to pry my eyes from the m8 tho. Santod has one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irish_711:
I thought he had the M7. If he has a M8, that might sway me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
He has both now, he said so about a week ago on G+. Hasn't built nusense for m8 yet though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Highly unlikely. The mods are built specifically for that version of this ROM and replace system files.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RXG9:
Hi, I just flashed this ROM and i'm liking it a lot however there are two problems I'm having. I'm not sure if your aware of them so i'd like to bring them to your attention.

The first one is that sometimes when I'm watching a Youtube video the status bar + nav bar won't minimize so they are always visible. This only happens sometimes, most of the time it works correctly and hides/minimizes status bar+ nav bar.

The second problem is that sometimes I accidently tap in-between the dock+ nav bar when trying to click on an app in the dock and the phone vibrates for a second and the display's brightness decreases, once I lift off my finger it go it goes back to normal. This is extremely frustrating especially because it happens in all apps. So for example if I'm in chomp SMS writing a message with the keyboard open and if I accidently tap in-between the space bar and nav bar the phone vibrates for a second and screen dims, & the keyboard minimizes. I then have to click on "type message here" (in chompSMS) to bring up the keyboard again.

Yes. That's what's meant by "purge .apks" F2FS uses a smaller system space than ext4, you'd have to put shiny on a diet prior to conversion.
