Does anyone here use Instagram? If so, have you tried uploading a video? When I do, I am getting "Upload failed" but it is only with videos. Pictures upload fine. I do have xposed installed at the moment, but I wanted to see what everyone else is experiencing before I remove it.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

I did experience something similar just yesterday. Someone called and when I picked up it was just pops and squeaks. Couldn't hear anything they were saying but it seemed to make the funny noise when they were trying to talk. I then turned on the speaker phone and all was fine. Didn't switch back to the headset though to see if it started working again. Just had that happen once out of about 10-15 calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demlv:
Thanks for maintaining this. My trusted Gnex has transitioned to a mini tablet / chromecast remote, so it isn't in constant use. That allows me to really see the idle battery use and I am impressed. Stability seems really good too. Nice work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcrutchvt10:
This build has been awesome. Infinitely more stable with little or no noticeable performance decrease. Thanks so much for maintaining this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
Hmm... Latest build runs well on stock settings, great battery life, smooth, haven't seen an issue yet. Thanks for building these for the few of us left.

Uptime

This may sound like a dumb question!

When you say up time .... you don't mean battery do you? Hope you don't mean between crashes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
By uptime, he means run time, as in battery life. "I was lucky to hit 48 hours uptime without a freeze..."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
I just flashed it on Sunday & I seemed to manage about 25 hours. with Zippoman I was getting an average of 65 hrs. Now when I had Paranoid Rom I was getting 80-100 hrs.

Are there certain settings that help. I tweaked some that seem to help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I meant between crashes - kernel up time, as reported in Settings/About Phone/Status - Up Time. 200 hours is a little over eight days, which would be impossibly good battery life with this device and my aging stock battery. Almost all severe system crashes (black screen hangs, GPU-related reboots, scheduler issues, overly-agressive undervolting or underclocking) will show up in that time frame. By contrast, with the BFQ scheduler, it would crash and reboot spontaneously before the system hit 48 hours up time. I saw the crashes less than half the time, but the up time counter kept resetting, so I knew it was hanging and rebooting regularly.

With my inclination to tinker, going eight days without rebooting my phone is a bit of an accomplishment
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
LOL, that's what I thought 8.5 days? I have use of a s3 with extended battery & so far has been on for 10 days
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
I would like to thank Musical_chairs for the work in making this rom . I have had it on my phone for about 2 weeks now & it seems to run better every day. Since I am not on carrier with my GNex I haven't been able to test the voice /data modes . I have noticed great memory

use & smooth screen transitions. I can get 58-60 hrs up time leaving the phone on. If I turn it off at night I get 100-110 hrs,

My S4 gets about the same amount so I think it's great.

Hats off to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Wifi stays on ( or shows so in battery graph ) also when phone is idle. I noticed the play services is running 8 processes . I don't think they need to run all the time . The only one I think should run is the location service. I know this has been an issue for a lot of Roms. Is there an app like wake-locks or something I can install to control this problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonetool:
Well, Marshmallow supposedly has better app permission management. So you could install that... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
From what I've read the Roms for MM have more problems. That makes this problem seem minor .

I have a verizon GNex.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

I wonder ... of course ... that would be too simple, Some changes in the build.prop file. Wishing!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
I have noticed that even if the phone has been off at night when I check the battery graph the next day it shows wifi has been on all night (obviously it could't have ) So I'm thinking that one of the play services processes stays in the run mode when phone is turned off & the phone just assumes it's been running so shows up in the battery chart. I could turn off the play services all together. Then I might as well get a flip phone again. The force is not with me I guess!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barry99705:
Hey guys, is USB tethering working for you? When I enable the hotspot feature it won't let me turn on usb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlvlawrence:
Do you have WiFi scanning always on? If so, that's why it always shows in battery stats.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

With as bad as lollipop us on the gnex, I can only imagine how bad marshmallow would be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
I don't have scanning on all the time I even tried airplane mode. Even if the phone has been shut off it shows that wifi was on at that time too!

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I have actually notice , after trying to load Marshmallow ( won't boot up ) I reloaded Lollipop & the battery seems to have leveled out .Lasting longer. I'll run with that for awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
I have noticed that my S4 battery graph show that wifi has been on all night also. I turn that phone off at night. So I guess it's in the firmware . It's not Rom-ed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
New build up. I had fun messing with M, and will probably go back to it after a while, but for now I'm back on cm-12.1. This build is much more closely aligned to the official maguro cm-12.1 nightly than were my previous builds. I'm going to try to stay as close to cm's sources as possible from now on. One downside is, dex preopt has been turned on again, I believe this breaks Xposed.

Link is in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daytonahemi08:
What is the difference between this and the 1.8 ? That's what I have installed know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
You mean zzpianoman's ROM? Not a whole lot other than the graphics drivers. Videos recorded with this ROM will have a narrow purple line on the one side. And, he has added a few of his own tweaks, while I try to keep mine more or less stock cyanogenmod.

[MENTION=4531957]musical_chairs[/MENTION] Toro here. Came from your last upload and dirty flashed it. Been on this since you dropped it. Using it off Verizon and WiFi only. So far this is the best build yet of any build on my hardware for a very long time since JB. No hangs. Fast. Almost no jitter. Feels like it came from the factory with this ROM. Finally. Nice job. I wonder what you did?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
It isn't something I did, it was Ziyan. bfq scheduler is fixed up and not crashing anymore, and we're using zram with a very fast compression driver (that our device didn't used to support). All I had to do was sync up the device and kernel trees, and his excellent work came along for the ride. But yeah, I agree, it is running better than it ever has.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Our device " supported" the newer zram over a year ago when I backported it for my dirtyV kernel . zram just never became popular until Ziyan said it was worth it .........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Weather

I have been following the threads steadily & when this upgrade build was available I flashed it . Clean flashed even though ,I know I did not have to. All seems great . But I have to ask. Was the weather display on the nav panel a CM style or did you just not put it in the build ? Or is it my flash . The settings say it's on.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I like the way the phone screen shuts off. The other rom would leave the screen b&w for a second before it went off.

Minor but annoyed the hell out of me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daytonahemi08:
Ya that bugged me too but just switched to 6.0.1 so far so good! Still has that screen issue tho i guess cus its also using 1.8 drivers o well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
Latest version is the best version of the ROM that toro has seen. Thanks for all the fish.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Ok I played with the phone for awhile & got to thinking that maybe the clock weather app widget had something to do with the nav panel weather setting soooo I brought up the widget turned off the clock , checked weather & tada it's back on the panel .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Now that I have had this upgrade installed for a while I have notice the battery seems to last a bit longer every day.

Last charge was 92 hrs 54 minutes of up time. (That includes off time ) Everything seems to work seamlessly .

Thank you so much for your work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madspeed:
Haven't checked in for quite some time. Broke my Galaxy S5 with two months left on my contract so pulled out the trusty ole Galaxy Nexus. Found this thread right away and downloading now. Hopefully it runs buttery smooth for me too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
New build up. Some fun stuff this time:

Android security patch level: February 1, 2016

Fully stock CyanogenMod 12.1 - all necessary toro code has been upstreamed. **

And last but not least, two long-awaited fixes from Ziyan and the team: (you're not gonna believe this)

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/131714/ - fixes the occasional camera crashes

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/131715/ - fixes the purple line on videos (!!!)

** one unfortunate result of this is that the bug is back where mobile data won't reconnect after turning off airplane mode. A reboot gets it going again. I am examining ways to work around this bug that will only touch the toro device tree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
In my attempts to fix data problems in M, I think I stumbled across the commit that broke mobile data out of airplane mode on toro. Hopefully that can be a good starting point for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wetherb67:
Well, i am at my wits end here, have installed latest build, followed all instructions, pico GAPPS, and also the APN fix. however still have the radio issue (stupid exclamation point). I really like this rom but I can't use it if the radio doesn't work! Help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wetherb67:
Sorry guys, solved my own problem. Installed an earlier build and it's fixed. Absolutely love this ROM. Makes the Galaxy Nexus act like a new phone!

BTW I have the 12.1-20160121-UNOFFICIAL-toro installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wetherb67:
I'm loving this build, but I seem to have one bug where the status bar gets hidden and I have to restart to solve it. Has anyone seen this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Not at all . I have the not found a single issue yet & I have run this rom for a few weeks . I don't have it on a carrier , not my primary phone but I monkey with it every day . It's all good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Ram Ram Ram

I'm showing 300 mb ram upon start up. It goes up & down obviously depending whats running .

Is the new build going to get more than that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I should have said 'Available RAM instead of 'Free RAM'. Low memory killer settings are still the same, so it will show the same amount free, but now less is locked down by the system, so more is available for your apps. Better multitasking, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
More Ram

I am on this rom & it's showing my ram has increased from approx 300 to 350 mb. I also like the fact I can have 20 pages open in the apps recent drawer where as before I could only have 10 at a time before the the oldest 1 would disappear. What a great job in this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Coming soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
A cm13 build is up. Let me know how it works.

I clean flashed, though dirty flashing from cm-12.1 should theoretically be possible. As always, keep a good nandroid backup handy before flashing anything new and scary like this - especially if you decide to be crazy and dirty-flash.

It has been working really well for me (after ironing out a few initial wrinkles). Calls, texts, mobile data, mms, gps, bluetooth, everything I have tried so far just works. And there is even more available ram, plus MM has better memory management than LP to begin with - so it runs great once it has time to settle.

Mobile data settings were a bit wonky, but I think I have that all straightened out now. Also, battery charging indication goes haywire sometimes, though the battery still seems to charge just fine.

Here's wishing you a safe and happy flashing experience!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Just Installed

I have had such a good experience with the last 5.1 build that I had to try this one. Been installed about 2 hours . Two things have emerged already. the camera stopped when I went from photo to video ,and the two finger pull down the settings menu popped up a comment as to the fault of the Rom not the launchers I have installed. I'm hoping that after a couple of days that all will settle & everything will work great.

I will say though that I have never had an easier install . After a TWRP, backup of my last Rom & settings the install started up everything so intact I thought the Rom didn't install at all . Then "voila" there it was .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I'm laughing at myself here, I thought the low battery light was blinking even while the phone was charging...it turns out that the notification light color is set to 'automatic', which makes the LED flash a different color for each app. It just so happens that GMail is red, so every time I got an email, the light flashed red... Now I have to decide if I like that 'feature' or not.

There are two issues with mobile data: It stays on even when connected to wifi, and LTE does not come back up if you toggle data off and on again. Changing the 'preferred network' to 3G gets data going, after which you can change back to LTE and it will work again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
Just Installed

Alright been running for about 24 hrs. So far things are good . Well I figured out the menu pull down. (my bad ) I tried the camera again seems to work now .

You can tell the difference in the increased RAM.

I tested the phone trying out all the apps to make sure things are working , so battery life is going to be short on this charge. However I can tell the battery life will definitely improve from this point. It hardly goes down when phone sets idle.

I'm quite impressed .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] traco1:
I have a question ! Can the clock on the lock screen be change to make it smaller & a thinner number set ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZianChoy:
Microsoft SmartScreen is reporting that the CM 13 build ("cm_toro-ota-20160319.zip") is an unsafe file.

I want to install this cm13 this weekend. I want to take everything off and do a complete format of everything, even the SD card.

Is TWRP 2.8.6.0 up to the task. Are you guys using something better? Is there a glitch free 3.0. Links to what works please.

Open gapps pico best choice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
TWRP 2.8.6.0 works fine, and will work fine for a complete wipe of your device. If you do wipe internal storage/emulated SD, just remember to do so after flashing the ROM and gapps, or you'll have nothing to flash into.

I don't know of a solid 3.0 for toro, but, admittedly don't follow the toro threads here very closely anymore.

Slim or open gapps zero or pico will work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kb8no:
[MENTION=4471805]quickdraw86[/MENTION], cm13 clean flashed with pico open gapps flawlessly and looking great so far. Then formatted the emulated SD which felt so good, like having a haircut.

Questions:

Are there any issues with exposed on this ROM? Which version is working for people?

Where do I measure free RAM?

How much, really, does f2fs add to the speed? Does the benefit outweigh the hassle?

What are the memory sucking speed eating apps that should be avoided on a limited memory phone like this? Facebook? Anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quickdraw86:
I don't use xposed, never cared for it, but as long as you use the appropriate version for this device, I imagine it works fine. SDK 22 is for lollipop, SDK 23 is for marshmallow. Tuna will always use the ARM versions also. So, the latest for cm13 would be:

xposed-v80-sdk23-ARM.zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811

F2FS is more of a hassle than it's worth IMHO, I didn't ever see a dramatic increase in actual speed from using

/data and /cache F2FS.

Avoid Facebook for android, ram and battery "optimizing" apps, and apps that use considerable ram in the background, and you should be okay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vegoja:
Data issue resolved

To connect mobile data here's how I fixed it. Go to your mobile network in settings and switch from 4g LTE to 3g reboot ur phone and then restart ur phone. U can then switch back to 4g LTE. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kb8no:
Has any one else suspected the app TuneIn as a memory killer?

Where do I get a report of RAM available on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mainframehack3r:
Awesome!

I'm so happy with this latest build that I made an account just to share! I've been running the build from mid-nov and just idling overnight it would run my 5900mah battery down 20-30+% and last night this current build only drained 4% off my old stock battery. And I can receive MMS while wifi is connected, which I could not do before.

Although, does anybody know how to keep battery saver on all of the time? It only let's me enable it when my battery is at 15%. I don't have the Play Store and can't get an app that way.

Thanks a million musical_chairs! You're keeping my old ass phone running great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I'm still working on this. For some reason toro doesn't like bringing up 4G after a reboot, or after being connected to wifi with mobile data off. Too bad for us that [MENTION=1048318]zzpianoman[/MENTION] isn't building cyanogenmod anymore, I can't just copy his fixes like I did in the past.

RAM Truth gives good info on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
New build up:

- Some mobile data / LTE fixes. 4G works on bootup now. Mobile data turns off when connected to wifi (give it a minute, it does.)

- Still no mobile data out of airplane mode, also mucking about in the phone testing menu has a way of breaking mobile data. Reboot to fix.

- APN settings are now accessible.

- Minor tweaks to dexopt screen, first boot after a flash is less annoying.

The mobile data fix is this open commit:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/132076/

Supposedly this issue was fixed another way, but that obviously isn't working for toro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] passwordexpired:
4G is fixed for me

The latest build fixed 4G for me on toro.

This rom runs smoother than anything I've run in a long, long time. If I had known my Gnex could run so smooth, I wouldn't have bought a new phone (arriving today!!).

Amazing work. You have both my thanks and awe!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Nice! I was trying to decide if I should try pushing to get this change merged, or if I should keep looking for a different fix - and now they merged it. It obviously helps us on toro, but it doesn't completely fix 4G connection issues. I've still been able to find situations where data will not connect unless I connect to 3G and switch back to 4G.

The thanks and the awe belong to the guys over in the maguro section, I just copy their stuff, and throw things at our phones until they work too. ;)

Just found my GNex in a box in a closet! Awesome work getting MM on this device!

Having a problem with play services crashing after wiping and flashing.

Using TWRP 2.8.7.0, and Open Gapps Pico.

Ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
I believe Gapps need to be flashed right after flashing the ROM, before booting up. Try:

1. wipe /system and /data.

2. flash rom

3. flash gapps

4. reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mschumacker:
Just found this a few days ago and really happy to keep the GNex going. Great job and big thanks for the developers.

I am having one problem though and need some help. I've tried most everything I've read. I completely formatted my device (a little too much actually, blew away the OS and had to fastboot the stock image) and installed this ROM (on the first page) and gapps. I've done this about 20 times, but keep getting error on Google Play Services. Anytime I try to hit the store or any Google App, this error comes up.

I have given permission to Google Play Services for everything possible. Also, I currently don't have a SIM card in the phone, connecting only over WIFI.

Any ideas?

Update: Just saw the note above. I did exactly that,

wipe, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot. Still having Google Play Services crashing.

I am having the same issue with the play store crashing I am on TWRP 3.0, using the nano gapps play store keeps crashing. Wiped/ Flashed Rom / Flashed GAPP/ started phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
One of the toroplus users reported that this works (clean flash):

1. flash the 20160319 build

2. flash gapps

3. reboot and go through setup process.

4. dirty-flash the 20160327 build.

I'm guessing the issue is something on CM's end, I will dig through the changes and see what I can find.

A new build is up, the gapps issue should be fixed. I did not test a clean flash, but there are plenty of reports from other devices pointing to a specific date when the problem started, as well as a specific patch that fixed it.
