[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
Thanks [MENTION=4531957]musical_chairs[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6425673]SpideyTheMan[/MENTION] for all the help . Mission accomplished . However I have a pretty strange issue . The system is still ext4 . I only converted the cache and data and got everything restored . Checked out the phone and all was fine . I then downloaded the latest build and flashed . I was on 05-21 and flashed 06-07 . Booted up and noticed a huge difference in the apps layout . I looked in about phone and it still showed build 05-21 . I then went to recovery , wiped data , cache , system and dalvik . Clean wipe . Flashed 06-07 again and gapps . Rebooted , apps optimized but it still shows 05021 build . I have flashed and wiped several times and no matter what I do it still shows the build from 05-21 in about phone ! Any ideas on whats going on with that ? Has the app layout changed on 06-07 so that when you press the apps button it shows the apps alphabetized like

A- Autoair

B -

C- Cleanmaster

D

E

F - Firefox

etc

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Thats the layout .

Am I actually running 06-07 but everything from the kernal to the build number and date in about phone is just refusing to reflect it ? What do ya'll think ?

One more question . After all of this is completed , if I got to recovery and click mount what is suppose to have a checkbox checked ? Only data and cache or data , cach and system ? System is not checked . Should it be ?

I did make one error in the conversion process . I did the data backup while still on ext4 . It did restore witha warning message that the phone might not boot . It did boot and the phone seems to work fine . Apps work etc . No fc's or problems other than the build number issue . If I restore a nandroid for 05-21 the app layout does appear normal . Also when I did the conversion I saw two redline messages flash by concerning internal storage or sdcard , I dont know if the internal storage actually changed to f2s . I can write to the sdcard but am not able to check that under the wipe option . If I click change filesystem type it says can't access it in twrp .

Thanks

Edit: Ok I can only assume the date discrepancy is in the build itself . I wiped again and flashed 05-12 , rebooted and in about phone it showed the correct build date , numbers and kernal for 05-12 . I then flashed 06-07 over that and again it went back to showing 05-21 ? Anyone else having this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpideyTheMan:
Yes, I can confirm that I see the same thing. It appears to be an issue with the 06-07 build. I hadn't noticed. The CyanogenMod Version shows 12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-toroplus.

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

The error with sdcard after formatting data to f2fs is normal. You'll need to reboot into recovery once you format data to f2fs in order to be able to use sdcard again. On one of my phones I had to format data as f2fs, reboot into recovery, format data as ext4, reboot into recovery, and format data again as f2fs, and reboot one last time into recovery in order to regain access to sdcard. It was weird. That only happened on one out of two of my phones. If you can successfully write to sdcard you don't have an issue. You can't specifically wipe sdcard by itself since it's part of the data partition.

You can only format 'cache' and 'data' as f2fs. You must leave 'system' as ext4 for now.

So it sounds like everything is working as designed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Sorry, I was lazy and didn't bother to do a 'make clobber' before doing the toroplus build. It is the 06-07 code though, as is easily seen in the app drawer...

Yes, there's a new drawer layout in Trebuchet launcher. You can revert to the old one in launcher settings (long-press on a blank area in one of your home screens, then pull up to access settings)

Normally just /data and /cache. You can mount /system if you want to make changes to that partition, like deleting stock apps. Otherwise it shouldn't be mounted.

Yeah, TWRP complains if you restore a backup from one filesystem type to another. I suppose if you tried to format /data to FAT32 or something that doesn't support symlinks, thinks could go wonky, but from ext4 to f2fs it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
f2s

Thanks for all the help and answering my questions . It's all fine . Honestly I can't really tell what difference it makes Lol . This rom runs so fast and snappy on ext4 it's hard to imagine it being any faster . Sure am grateful to the op for all the work in making this a great experience for our phone .Thanks .

Thanks for all your help too Spidey . Much appreciated !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpideyTheMan:
Primarily where you will see a difference in performance with f2fs is increased write performance and in the long-term overall storage performance will be more consistent with f2fs over ext4. Read performance isn't much different with f2fs. So any operation that causes a write to /cache or /data will be faster to the tune of 2x's faster in many instances. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
New build up, because a week has gone by. No changes on my end, just synced with CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpideyTheMan:
As always, thanks for the new build! Updated and working well with f2fs. I'm still trying to figure out how to get LTE working on toroplus with CM 12.1.....not making much headway yet.....but still trying. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
Hi , just curious if trim is active and working on this device . If so would the trim kernal be compatible trimming the f2s partitions ? Anything special need tbe done to get trim going ?I know so little about trim and f2s these questions may be stupid LOL , No idea . Anyone know the lowdown on this ? Also I've heard the Toro has overclocking menu enabled . Is that something that could be enabled on the toroplus as well ? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
If by trim you mean fstrim, them my understanding is that it is enabled if you are on ext4 (default) but not if you are on f2fs, because f2fs doesn't support fstrim (because it doesn't need it?). But I've never looked into it, my knowledge on the subject is very limited.

Regarding overclocking, the included stock kernel doesn't have any overclocked frequency slots enabled. This would be true for both my toro and toroplus builds. If you want to overclock, flash a custom kernel like bsmitty's. If a kernel works on Ziyan's Cm12.1 builds, it should work on my builds as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
Thanks for the clarification . The overclocking I was referring is in this vid which even has your build I think . At about 4 minutes into the review he shows the performance menu with overclocking but states at the time only the gsm and verizon model has it enabled . Even enters the menu where you click your clock selection,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hijnR1VyedU skip ahead to the 4 minute mark and watch for about 30 seconds . Im assuming the sprint version he refers to is yours ,See what you think . Actually the whole vid might be interesting to you .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
The Sprint version seems to be mine, but the GSM and Verizon versions look like [MENTION=1048318]zzpianoman[/MENTION]'s. He uses the DDK 1.8 video drivers, so custom kernels won't work on his ROMs, so he enables the overclocking frequency slots by default. That's also the reason that video mentions the older camera (and the 'bugginess' of the Sprint version). The camera bugs on the DDK 1.9 drivers have been fixed now except for a small purple line on the side of videos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
New TWRP

Interesting read , looks to have some f2s stuff ? https://twrp.me/site/update/2015/06/22/twrp-2.8.7.0-released.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
There doesn't look to be anything particularly interesting for us there, though updates are always good, right? Since I've been pulling my code for TWRP from Ziyan's ZMoD repos, I'll probably wait to do anything about it until he merges the latest code. I could try to pull the code from the omnirom repos, which is where Dees_Troy does his work, but I don't think it's worth the bother. If you're referring to the resize2fs feature that was added, that might be exciting for a Nexus 6 user, but I don't know what we'd use it for - and it only works on ext2/3/4 file systems anyway. (I know, the last three letters of f2fs and resize2fs are identical, but that doesn't actually mean they have anything in common.)

Some of you might wonder why I haven't uploaded a build for a while. I've been trying to get Ziyan's updated call mute fix working with no success. I may just have to pull zzpianoman's call mute fix that I had been using back in and push out another build, but I'd really like to figure out why Ziyan's fix isn't working for me. I'll get a new build out before too long either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MonstaDriva:
The last build runs superb and it's hard to imagine better battery life than I'm getting lately so for my part I can wait on a new build . The only thing I could wish for on this rom would be a sound boost . Seems that audio is probably about 40 to 50 % of normal . Now the talk volume , native ring tones and the phone side of things, the volumes are fine . Where it's soft is things like mp3 , app volumes , hangouts ringtones and notifcations are where it's to low . The audio side I guess . Thanks for all the good things you've done for us
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
I have the same exact problem . I haven't found any way of increasing it .Tried a few supposid volume boost apps but they didn't work at all .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Well I did go ahead and put out a new build. Changes are:

- There's a Sprint APN fix from CyanogenMod. I think you'll need to reset your APN's to apply the change (or clean flash, but that's a bit drastic just to force the new APN's). Might this help Sprint users finally get 4G?

- The ril (radio interface layer) library has been replaced with an open source one - at least I think so. This was supposed to fix in-call mute (making zzpianoman's legacy mute feature unnecessary), but I couldn't get that part to work. In any case, it doesn't seem to have broken anything. In-call mute will work the old way (notification shows muted, but mic icon does not) until I figure this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnCorleone:
There's this app in the Play Store called "Speaker Booster" by Wait What that actually did pretty dramatically increase the volume on my Tab 3. Its free and has an orange icon with orange and white material look. It's supposed to boost the volume by 30%. I don't know about exact amount of increase but I can confirm if it works on the GNex as well after I switch devices here and download the latest build. What a shame....the Galaxy Nexus is a quality device that has really stood up over the years and it just got forgotten about by almost all of the devs. This Evo 4G LTE is like a new device on Lollipop. Unfortunately, my Sprint devices are WiFi only now but I wouldn't mind converting my GNex to Metro if possible as a 2nd device... Thankfully musical_chairs hasn't left Sprint GNex development behind!

Just an FYI...Team Blackout have zips for all inverted and all transparent Gapps now. They are available on their app. If you don't have the app, I think that you can get it on the Team Blackout site...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MonstaDriva:
Not sure if you knew this but the APN menu has been missing for awhile under mobile networks . I'm referring to under mobile networks where you normally find it on L roms . I haven't found it located anywhere else under settings . Simply went missing and never came back . I never had to use it so never worried about it until you mentioned resetting apns which requires use of that menu .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
They keep hiding the APNs menu for cdma phones, it seems every Android release somebody at cyanogenmod will merge a commit exposing the APN menu, and a few weeks later somebody else hides the menu again. I never bothered to re-enable it because there are so many ways to access it anyway. My current go-to method is a little app called Activity Launcher. But most third-party launchers can create shortcuts which is another easy way to get there. APN settings is one of those things we cdma phone users are never supposed to need, but invariably things keep getting broken, so we need to get into that menu just one more time...

Oh, and I wasn't crazy with the in-call mute thing not working - the first version of the 'fix' only worked for maguro. Toro and Toroplus prove to be weird and difficult yet again...but MWisBest has it working, so I'm trying to pull in his fixes now. EDIT: Yep, in-call mute is working beautifully now. It's quite a bit faster than the legacy mute workaround was, too. Yay, something new for the next build!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
I had tried speaker booster a few weeks ago . Tried it again but even set to max it makes no difference . If you run across anything else I'll try it . thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mharbudd:
APN settings

BTW, does anyone else have the issue that if you try to create your own APN, it disappears when you attempt to use a 3 digit MNC? (which for Sprint/Ting is supposed to be 120)

All of the other settings apply fine, but any attempt to save an APN with a 3 digit MNC poof away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
There's no reason to make one for Ting . It works perfect with the default sprint apn . What exactly are you trying to accomplish ? You can update your mmsc url if thats what your want to do .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mharbudd:
Actually the APNs screen is blank for me. One time when I tried the reset there, it gave me all the Verizon ones, so I deleted them and that's when I tried to add a Ting one with no success (correctly anyway, I made do with a MNC of 20 for now....)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
It's blank for me too but it's not needed . All the correct settings are there for sprint including the 120 value as default already except for the mmc picture url. I've never needed to make, set or use the apn menu , period . Is your 3g working ok ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
When I tried resetting my APN's to drop the Verizon ones (my phone takes a long time to get a 3G connection with those and I don't get LTE at all) I just got the Verizon ones again. Secondly, when I try to add an APN manually, nothing changes. As a further test before publishing this post, I tried deleting all of the Verizon APN's and resetting to default. That also didn't help. I ended up with the Verizon ones being restored. Finally, I tried removing all of the Verizon APN's and manually adding the Sprint ones. That also failed.

I still get 3G with the Verizon ones but, like I said, the connection times are bad sometimes. I went about 3 hours after a reboot without a data connection last Friday. That can be an issue sometimes. Thanks for any help anyone can provide with this issue.

EDIT: By the way, I am a Sprint subscriber. Just in case that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkypc:
I'm not on Sprint and it seems the June 28 update broke my 3g data.

I re-flashed June 14 and everything works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
I assume your on an MVNO that uses Sprint ? I'm on Ting and my 3g works fine on the latest build . Who is your carrier ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
On Kitkat, if you set the MNC to anything other than 120 it would disappear. I never figured out where the phone was finding that number and why it was so picky about it. I know it's not looking at build.prop or in the nv-rom settings. Mobile data depends on what is set in nv-rom, but the APNs menu does not. The MNC code set in build.prop doesn't do anything at all as far as I could tell. If it's set in the ROM source code, I never figured out where; maybe it's pulling it from the built in sim card. Whatever the case, I know it's different on Lollipop than it was on kitkat, but I never figured it out.

If anybody with data issues wants to do some more serious testing, it could be profitable to compare FML to this ROM. FML builds are unified now (one build for maguro, toro, and toroplus), so look in MWisBest's thread in the maguro section, or possibly in bsmitty's kernel thread, as he has occasionally pushed out builds of FML when MW's builds get few and far between.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PainFly23:
I've been running this for a few weeks now, thought I'd post my experiences. I noticed a few people mentioning the audio was quiet, which is really weird. The audio is noticeably louder than my last ROM for me.

Battery life is fantastic. On the day I decided to put it to the test, I managed over 5 hours of screen on time. As a disclaimer, I use my Gnex as a WiFi-only device and have a 3300 mAh battery, but this is still much better than I was getting before.

The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes video playback and the camera stop working at times. Nothing a quick reboot can't fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
I'm only having low sound with stuff like mp3's , hangouts ringtones and other audio stuff . The phone talk , ringtones and notifications are loud . Do you use hangouts ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PainFly23:
Yes, I noticed hangouts messages in particular were louder for me. I kind of feel like music playback is louder in general too, but that's harder to tell. The last ROM I was using was LS on 5.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
Your lucky then because it's been much quieter on every lollipop build for me since we started .Whether I wipe clean or start from scratch . Can barely hear hangouts ringtone on voice call . I don't know about hangouts messages , as I don;t use a ringtone for those. Music playback definitely lower too . Correct me if I'm qrong but aren't you using the verizon version of this rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, it worked on my stock rooted KitKat Samsung Tab 3 (piece of junk with no Dev support) but it didn't do anything on this device

I'm on a small regional carrier in Canada. Not affiliated with Sprint in any way.

I only tried it once and could not connect so I flashed back. Once there is another build, I'll try again, although not for a few weeks as I am out of the country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clnzx2:
I use the galaxy nexus as a backup device on freedompop and a clean flash of the latest build resulted in no 3g, a dirty flash over the previous build worked great though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnCorleone:
So is 6/14 the most stable of the new builds or should I flash 6/14 then the new build.

Also, what Gapps are best because I am getting the Google services framework isn't compatible with the 2 sets I have tried. Thanks!

I got everything up and running properly with the TK Pico gapps. These builds are extremely well done! Keep up the great work!

Side note, I am not sure how I feel about the new "M" or new Trebuchet launcher app drawer style just yet...lol. The ROM is great on my Wi-Fi only GNex.. I kind of want to get it working on some other carrier if possible now

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Is that actually from Android M? I figured it was a failed attempt on CM's part at being new and different. Thankfully you can still select the previous layout.

In other news, I am sure how I feel about the new app drawer 'layout', but I'm trying not to let it show. Is it working? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
New build up. No changes on my end from 7-1, just synced with CyanogenMod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
New build up. The first boot should be faster now, thanks to this open commit:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/101243/

Apparently, the spinner was working the CPU almost as hard as dex2oat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkypc:
3g data still does not work properly for me on the latest build.

Browser gives the following message:

Got the error: Server Error

while trying to obtain http://www.google.com/

Connection refused

I did notice gmail app seems to receive mail and https pages seem to load (although extremely slow). So I assume there is something wrong with how http / port 80 is handled

Any idea how to fix it?

More info: I'm on a small regional carrier in Canada with no affiliation to Sprint
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
While your issue seems to be different from mine, I fixed my 3G issues by deleting my telephony.db file before flashing the most recent build. I'm not sure if that's what fixed it but, it wasn't working before and it is working now so YMMV I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkypc:
I have a zip that I instal every flash that deletes telephony.db as well as flashes the full apns-conf.xml file so I have the APN info for my carrier. This has always worked for me for custom roms on this phone until now. I'm not sure what was fixed for Sprint on June 28 but my guess is it's something related to that patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperGoober:
I'm on Ting but my 3G has been working fine for months . It's been better than ever on this last build . I never flash any kind of fix or delete any file . It just works . What carriers are ya'll on ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
There's another new build up. Headset controls should be working again. The stagefright security patches were already included in the previous build, though I wasn't aware of them at the time.

Everything should be good to go, except for the small purple line on videos and the apparently intermittent 3G data issues. I did flash this one on our active toroplus (wanted it to be protected with the stagefright fixes), and data works there, 1x only on Page Plus, but hey, that's more than I usually get an opportunity to test. Sorry about the ongoing 3G issues for some of you, I've been reading the posts here but I figured that a whole string of posts from me saying "I have no idea, sorry" wouldn't be all that helpful. Other than comparing results with FML, and experimenting with APN settings, I'm not sure what to say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saeraphas:
Phone doesn't seem to charge from OTG or HDMI dock unless turned off.

I've just noticed that my phone no longer charges from my HDMI desk dock or OTG y-cable while the phone is on. If I shut the phone down, it charges normally from both. My fiancee's phone which is still stock does not display the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkypc:
My 3g issue has been solved.

Turns out I enabled Adblock Plus at the same time as I did an update, and that is what was breaking my http data - no issue at all with the Rom.

Thanks for everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
As an aside, could you post that zip file that you use to clear your telephony.db on each flash? That sounds pretty useful ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkypc:
Here's the zip to delete telephony.db on each flash.

It also replaces apns-conf.xml in /system/etc with a larger one from https://android.googlesource.com/de...337dbd84ce16d743ae5404/etc/apns-full-conf.xml that has more APNs for more countries and more carriers.

If you don't want the zip to replace the apns-conf.xml file, open the zip and delete that file. I'm not sure if flashing that file will wipe out any Sprint specific changes done to this Rom. Ask [MENTION=4531957]musical_chairs[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
It would (obviously) overwrite any Sprint-specific changes that CyanogenMod has made to the APN's, and there is at least one of those. But it won't affect the 'old ril' flags (they are set in build.prop), or the tuna/toroplus ROM tweaks, which are baked in. If replacing the APN's helps in any way, go for it.
