Opengapps have an archive for old releases. But here's the direct download link for you: https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20160106/open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20160106.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zenroid:
I flashed this no issue

open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20160308.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MAD_psycho_Zz:
still not working even with gapps linked by you guys :( don't know whats wrong, maybe is twrp 3.0.0.? i don't know what else to do to get it working, cm12.1 unofficial by zzpianoman is working fine tho.. :/ really want to try this build with ddk 1.9 and more ram
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zenroid:
Not tried twrp 3 only using 2.8.7 no issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] playitlouder:
Do you get any errors in the recovery log, when flashing the gapps (in the main menu of twrp press the button in the bottom center)?

Which version of gapps are you trying? The larger packages won't fit in our /system partition. Nano and pico should work.

Have you wiped /system prior to installing the rom?

Using older gapps does not really change anything, because the play store will update the apps anyways.

Just wanted to report, that ota updates are broken for me for quite a while.

When I let cmupdater reboot to twrp (version 2.8.7.0), it just goes back to the main menu.

This is the error message, it displays in the log.

Flashing the exact same .zip works fine afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zenroid:
Same for me for ota updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garrymar:
I experience great performance using the build. Awesome work, [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]! What problems should we expect after that optimization?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
Ideally, nobody should experience any problems, as we weren't able to max out even the reduced carveout. The worst that could in theory happen is a ducati crash (= losing camera and video playback until a reboot or app restart).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Optimizations should reduce problems, he has just told you to report if any, not necessarily related to the optimization itself...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] migadeath:
so far no problems... :) nice work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] playitlouder:
Subway Surf now runs with solid 60 Frames per second.

Awesome work!

The best is, you can multitask from the game right back into whatsapp :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garrymar:
Absolutely no problems so far! Thank you!

Rom 20160311

Flashed ROM 20160311 with open gapps 5.1 nano 20160312 with TWRP 2.8.7.0. All OK. Suggest flash rom with twrp 2.8.7.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyleth:
I've already noticed this. You need the cm recovery as cyanogenmod is incompatible with twrp, at least for updating the rom

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] playitlouder:
No one likes the CM recovery. Can we patch around it, so that otas keep working with twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
[MENTION=5953853]Zenroid[/MENTION] [MENTION=1780578]skyleth[/MENTION] [MENTION=4038245]playitlouder[/MENTION] For what it's worth, the last 3 CM12 nighty OTAs I attempted worked successfully for me. I'm using a 2.8.6.0 TWRP from who knows where. I think TWRP for Galaxy Nexus is notoriously buggy because there is no full-time maintainer or testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyleth:
Yes, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I gave up with the recovery and use the cm one as default, if I need backup or something more I have the img and the app to flash it on the go so I don't have to think about it when updating

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Complete success here with TWRP 2.8.6.0 and latest nightly as well. TWRP in the 2.*.*.* series served me well for years and I am not at all inclined to try the 3.*.*.* series or any other recovery for that matter.

I couldn't resist waiting any longer for a Zmod version with all the recent optimizations. Now I simply deleted some of the typical CM apps I never use such as the updater, the theme manager, music player, that cm equalizer, and some more small stuff. Just to free up as much RAM as possible. I deleted the boot animation as well because I like the default android one. I could make a script to do all that automatically after every flash but I don't know how... yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vivekjoshi2195:
Another problem i noticed with cm 12.1 is that 4 seconds delay in screen while someone calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgmichna:
If that is the price to pay for an extra 50 MB RAM, it could be worth paying.

Does it happen every time? Does it happen to all of us? I use that phone only as a spare, so I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstyle3244:
I found a bug in "cm-12.1-20160311-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip".

[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]

You can not change the strength of the vibration.

The device will restart if you change the scheduler.

Scroll up of the Google+ app is not a smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexradium:
Problem is twrp 3,did the same and couldn't restore correctly and gapps force closed.

Back to old recovery and all is OK.

Edit:i installed same rom and same gapps through twrp 2.8.7.0 and everything is ok, really lovin this rom, most smooth 5.1.1 rom till now thanks again guys for pointing me to the problem <3

Hi,

My girlfriend is using her Gnex with this awesome ROM ; she has only one little problem : there is always a notification saying "SMS text could not be sent, click here to send again" but there is no actual SMS ; is there a way to remove this notification ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
Could you explain how to delete unnecessary apps and the boot animation? My phone is sluggish due to RAM on 4.4 at the moment so I'm going to flash this ROM to make it usable again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Depending on the ROM you are using right now

From the drawer, hold on the app you want to delete and when prompted, drag and drop on "unistall"

you can manage them all from settings / apps

If you can't it means either that is flagged as system app or you are in a ROM that does not allow to remove that specific app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
I am going to flash this 5.1.1 ROM and would like to remove some of the Cyanogenmod apps that I never use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n76:
There are some apps, even with AOSP, that I don't want or need. Here is what I do to get rid of them:

adb root
adb remount
adb shell rm -rf /system/app/Email
adb shell rm -rf /system/app/QuickSearchBox

Just figure out where the apps are that you don't want and remove them.

There are some apps that you may need but not know why, so I'd do this on a fresh install so if you break things and need to reflash the ROM to get back to a working setup you haven't lost too much time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeoHart:
[MENTION=7343305]YouKnowNothingJohn[/MENTION]

Easiest way: Install RomToolBox from Play Store and deinstal which app you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgusL:
I am having a problem that maybe it is a bug: every time I undock the phone from the Samsung Multimedia Dock, the gestures don't work and the camera results in dark gray screen, and I have to reboot the phone.This happens in both CM12 & CM13.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
Thanks, will look into that app. Have the ROM working at the moment and I have to say I am very impressed. Performance is a lot better than on 4.4 and everything looks very nice.

Could you or someone else help me out with another problem I have? I flashed the latest opengapps nano (open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20160313) but I cannot update the calendar and clock apps from the play store. Instead I wound up with duplicates of these apps... Any ideas?

Edit: also the SuperSU database can't be installed via normal mode or TWRP....

Edit2: Flashing the zip worked for SuperSU
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mukesh:
Disable system apps, the clock and calendar, use the ones downloaded from the play store OR delete the system apps and move the downloaded apps to system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
I believe the community solution to this use case is the "aroma" installer of gapps. It lets you select which gapps you want to install, and I suspect it automatically removes the stock apps they replace. While the download of the aroma version is huge (because it contains every gapp), it allows you to select a small number of apps such that your selection still fits into our small /system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
[MENTION=4827568]mk.nexus12@gmail.com[/MENTION] [MENTION=4545566]bamtan2[/MENTION]

Am I right in saying that these two apps (clock and calendar) are included in the ROM? If so, might it be better to leave them out since the updated app can be installed right from the play store?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n76:
There are people who don't install gapps and find the default AOSP and/or CM apps sufficient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
Okay makes sense!

The apps are deleted using Rom Mod Tools and now I am all set. No more duplicates and a lot of unnecessary apps are gone.

I would like to thank the developers of this awesome ROM. My phone looks and feels like it's new again which I could not have expected. I was considering getting a S7 because my Nexus was seriously slowing me down. It's annoying to control your Hue lights with your phone when it's sluggish. But now it actually feels workable again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Regina Rainbow:
You can use or rather adapt version 1.0 of freecyngn script for that task. Just edit the list of apps to be removed automatically after flashing a new version of Cyanogenmod. It works great for me! This is my config:

#!/sbin/sh
#
# /system/addon.d/20_autoclean.sh
# During a CM12.1 upgrade this script repatches CyanogenMod
# deleting unnecessary or unneeded apps. Full credits for
# this script go to MaR-V-iN

. /tmp/backuptool.functions

deleteApk() {
rm -rf /system/app/$1.apk /system/priv-app/$1.apk /system/app/$1 /system/priv-app/$1 && echo "Removed $1"
}

}

if [[ "$1" == "post-restore" ]] || [[ "$1" == "" ]]; then

Give the script a name like 20_autoclean.sh an put it in: /system/addon.d/20_autoclean.sh

Make sure to get the permissions of the script right. (See attached screen shot.) You can refer to this list (or any other on the net) to find out which apps are safe to remove and which might get you into trouble when removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
[MENTION=7046460]Regina Rainbow[/MENTION]

I will try to edit this script for this ROM to delete some of the CM apps. Will post here if I succeed.

Would you be able to tell me how the same or a similar script can be used to delete the bootanimation.zip from /system/media/?

edit: I think these can all easily go?

Edit2: I placed the sh script in /system/addon.d/ and set the correct permissions. Then I reflashed the latest nightly expecting the script to be run and remove the unwanted apps. Unfortunately that did not happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cakmaentel:
Hello. This will seem like a newbie question. I made a clean install with the latest nightly 20150316 to my wife's Galaxy Nexus and flashed opengapps nano package right afterwards (TWRP 2.8.7 is installed as the recovery). However, there were no camera app present in the launcher, even though it appears in the Apps menu in Settings. I have installed OpenCamera but it gave "failed to connect camera" error. I had dirty flashed the previous nightlies over kitkat and thought that the camera not working was related to these dirty flashes. What might be the reason for camera not appearing in the launcher and not working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
Can you try to do a FULL wipe and reflash? I think that would help since I have no issues with the camera app. Flashed the same as you with TWRP 2.8.7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cakmaentel:
Yes, that will be my final option but since I am reluctant to do that I decided to ask first :)

Edit: Tried full wipe and flashed the ROM. It didn't work. I still cannot see the camera app on the launcher and when I try to start it from lockscreen, it gives "Unfortunately, camera has stopped." error. I was really hoping this would work. I am just stuck now.

Edit2: I tried CM13 and CM11 but after every fresh install the camera app doesn't show up on the launcher. I think this shows that this is a hardware issue and OS doesn't recognize the hardware and hence just doesn't bother to put the shortcut on the launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r.albu:
Did you try to re-download GAPPS and flash it in a new clean install, and without reboot, of the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Sad to hear that...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Insider7:
Some time ago I have noticed that mobile network stopped working on my phone. I have restored APNs to default. And now I'm unable to add the APN because APN settings are not available for my user. As a result I cannot use internet.

Can someone advise how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smcv:
Milestone release?

Is there going to be a milestone release of CM12 for Galaxy Nexus at some point, or are you proceeding directly to CM13? I'm fine with installing random nightlies on my own phone, but for non-technical family members I'd prefer something a little slower-moving and less likely to have a regression. At the moment I'm sticking to CM11 for them, but that doesn't seem ideal from a security point of view since it presumably isn't getting updates any more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cakmaentel:
CM11 was working fine before, so I thought when I flash it and the camera works, that would mean that something about the CM12 might be the problem. However, flashing CM11 didn't also work, so I guess the culprit is the camera itself. Thank you for the suggestion though. We started looking for new phone. Although Gnex was a solid phone in its time, it had started to bug my wife with its sluggishness. We would keep it as a backup anyway. Thanks phaleg.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
That's a really interesting question! I've never heard of a camera icon being hidden because the camera is broken. Only an expert can tell us if that's possible. It sounds possible since you said you wiped the phone. But I wonder if the wipe didn't work?

If the camera worked in CM11 before you flashed CM12, I think this is probably a software problem. But I'm not the expert!

Rom 20160318

Tried installing ROM 20160318 with open gapps pico. Gapps installation failed - insufficient system memory. Again tried installation but this time with Open gapps (nano). The phone booted but could not even go to the home screen as com. google.process stopped. Went back to 20160311. Any suggestions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
You could try backing all of your photo's up and doing a full wipe before a new installation. Haven't had any issues after a full wipe with 20160316 and the latest open gapps nano. Phone hasn't run this smooth in years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mukesh:
I did not wipe data. I did wipe system and caches. Will wait for another nightly for which I won't have to set up the phone afresh.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chris.Soloy:
Camera Stopped working?

It may not be software. I've been buying, repairing, and reselling these for a while and the camera connector can be disconnected by a hard bump or drop--which also might fry the camera. Same thing actually goes for the CPU/Memory board, if it has been removed before. Most have not been removed before, of course.

Try removing the screws and prying open the backside of your Galaxy Nexus, then check the camera connection at the top. I've gotten used to pulling the connection and reconnecting it just as a routine, in case I miss something visually. You shouldn't have to disconnect anything else, but if you choose to disconnect the antenna "to make things easier" you must be ready for a frustrating time learning just how it wants to be positioned to reconnect it.

If the camera doesn't work by reconnecting it, then eBay does have a lot of people selling used replacements.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cakmaentel:
Thanks for the suggestion. I did think opening the phone and looking at the camera module, but since I don't know what to look for I was a little bit reluctant to do that until we have working phone as a backup, in case something goes wrong. I have experience on tinkering with the phones, so I will definitely try to open the phone and do what you suggest. If it doesn't work, I will probably order a replacement camera module and try that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlwhitec:
Hi [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]. Just decided to give the 0311 nightly a try, because it looked quite promising. Frankly, I wouldn't ever expect to see such a smooth CM12.1 on a maguro. Especially after what I saw several months ago. After I saw this, I might even say that it's the time for everyone to abandon their KitKats in favor of your Lollipop. Thanks a lot. I hope you won't be offended to accept a few $$$ as an expression of my gratitude.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Is there a reason why you picked 0311 instead of latest?

Just wondering...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baffo92:
Hi everyone! The last version of CM 12.1 (20/03) seems great!

There's only one problem related to GPU: if I run Lollipop Easter Egg I have different behaviours... sometimes it runs fast, sometimes it runs really slow, sometimes it starts fast and then becomes really slow. Is it related to GPU drivers? Or is my phone problem?

I have also a problem that I think is not related to the ROM... both CM11 (before) and CM12.1 (now) cause my phone to reboot during basic operations (app updates from Play Store, for example).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tlwhitec:
Hi, it was partly because it should be the first build to get the additional memory from the ducati carveout and people seemed content with that one. Also at the time of flashing, the top was 0318 and this guy complained it has problems with gapps. I wasn't up to trying the latest (not my phone, not much time), checked cmxlog, there was really nothing worth getting the bleeding edge. Still, I couldn't fit opengapps nano, pico (0319) was crashing on start, had to use the old cgapps, but that worked, so all seems good now. The phone was previously on the latest KK snapshot but the new waze navigation (4.0) kept getting killed and was sluggish, now it runs better and there's still 150 MB RAM available. Pretty cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
Could someone with some more .sh script understanding help me out with my script? I'm trying to remove some apps after a reflash so I can use the google play store apps and have less clutter.

This is what I have at the moment. The file is put into /system/addon.d/ and has the correct privileges. It doesn't remove the listed apps when updating to a newer nightly.

This script looks broken. (Seems like you added pieces of the freecyngn 11 script and crippled the part thats responsible for the actual deletion of the APKs?). Please try the following:

1. Delete your customized script/scripts

2. Download MaR-V-iN's original freecyngn script for CyanogenMod 12/12.1

3. Put the script somewhere you will find it later, e.g. downloads folder of your phone

4. Boot your device into recovery.

5. If not already done, install CyanogenMod 12.1 as usual from recovery - DO NOT REBOOT

6. Install freecyngn from recovery as if it was a rom

7. Reboot your phone into CM 12.1

8. Use an editor with root privileges to edit the script: /system/addon.d/20-freecyngn.sh (You need an editor that can remount /system with read-write privileges at runtime - like Total Commander; maybe CM file manager can do this, too?). Edit only the list of files to be deleted:

9. Save your customizations

10. If you update CM 12.1 to future releases just use the OTA (if you are on cwm) or flash it with TWRP - but don't wipe /system manually before!

After system startup the Apps on your list should be gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YouKnowNothingJohn:
[MENTION=7046460]Regina Rainbow[/MENTION]

You are right, I made some changes. Which changes have broken the script? I tried to follow the CM sh script logic. Can you help me explain where the problem is?

I have tried the original script by Marvin but this hasn't worked either so that's why I tried to change it myself. Unfortunately I was unable to find easy to read explanation of how a .sh script works. In my logic this script should be able to work like this but I do not understand .sh fully. Any help would be appreciated!

Means you installed it the way MaR-V-iN explains in his original freecygn thread and i did just before (flashing it via recovery)?

Hi there... [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] the data connection tile does not show the correct status of the data connection.. Actually it also does not show the correct signal status, often showing emergency calls only or no sim card when everything is working perfectly..
