[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 24adithya:
Earphone controls aren't working

Hi,

First of all thanks a lot for coming up with this ROM update. I have a I9250 Samsung Galaxy nexus and i have updated my phone with this ROM. After update, i am unable to intercept calls/abort calls/play-pause music using my earphones. I have original samsung earphones. They work perfectly well on other devices.

Can someone help ?

Thanks,

Adithya

after a day long usage ... i found tht even the speaker volume is too low.... cannot hear the ringtone when someone is calling... Please help...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
New build up:

- updated to Android 5.1.1

- camera crashes mostly fixed (the random crashes from time to time should be all fixed)

- F2FS support for /cache and /data - also uploaded the latest TWRP with F2FS support for that

- new kernel feature: holding down the power button for 10 seconds will force turn off the phone - suitable for cases when the kernel isn't frozen, but it's not possible to shutdown from user-space

- most audio pops when using touch sounds should be fixed

- audio updates (mostly quality and efficiency, also includes the loudness improvement some users requested - thanks to MWisBest)

- headset controls should be fixed (please report back about this, more details here - don't flash that boot.img as it's already included)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
About this concern, I wanted to ask if there is a mod for this rom (LP), to get a louder speaker volume. Thanks.

Sorry Ziyan, I must be blind but could you please give me directions to this TWRP? I couldn't find it in Downloads tab...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
Oh sorry, forgot to press the 'Continue and attach' button :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowam:
Thank you very much :good:

First time testing F2FS, should I just format data/cache/system to F2FS then flash ROM/Gapps as usual?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
Just format /data and /cache as F2FS, then flash ROM and Gapps. Beware that formatting /data as F2FS will also format /sdcard, so backup your stuff first :) /system F2FS is not supported, because it's absolutely worthless for a read-only partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfsr98:
dude please help, all the LP roms I install fail to skip the initial setup... I have the latest TWRP and idk what to do :/ (p.s.- they don't say any errors on twrp when installing, just like gapps.)

they just stay on checking connection.

Its working now, nvm :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Yet another great build. :) And above all my phone doesn't reboot anymore when tapping inside a contact sheet. Not sure if you looked into it [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] but I'm most grateful nonetheless. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfjoao:
I got, until now, for 30 minutes "checking connection" screen, what should I do now?? I did a hard reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubik.j:
And I just reformatted my partitions on Friday to be able to flash your ROM :D

It is insanely fast, so my question to everyone who tried switching ZMoD to f2fs: Do you think it is worth it to switch again? Do you find it even faster? Thanks.

Does it make sense to switch just the cache to f2fs? That would be easy to do...

---------- Post added at 22:17 ---------- Previous post was at 22:16 ----------

Use different gapps - for example the Google Apps Minimal Edition. I had the same problem with the previous build and the gapps from the first post. Just read the last pages of the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfjoao:
Ok, I'll try. Thanks! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Thank you very much [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] for the new build and for bring us 5.1.1.

I thought there would be a mute option for the sound, but I see I was wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
I got a bootloop from "dirty flashing" from CM12.1

I wiped both cache partitions and system, didn't mess with data because I didn't want to lose my files let alone have to configure everything again in terms of apps. Then flashed rom, superSU and LuckyK kernel and rebooted the phone. Both my cache and data partitions were already F2FS

Is it mandatory to flash data before flashing ZMoD? Or should it work? [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]

Are you planning to add more features to the rom later or the ones currently on the rom are the only ones the rom will have?

I don't know if features such as quicktiles management, force close app by long pressing back button, lockscreen shortcuts, remove the google now swipe up button are heavy. But I consider them a must in roms. Don't know if you share the same opinion, just giving some ideas.

Also... If you are planning in translating the custom features from english to more languages, I think I can help with portuguese.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowam:
Installed it a few hours ago and it's perfect for now. Fast and reliable. Gonna report back again tomorrow... Thank you very much Ziyan!

Edit... Can someone help me with disabling the 'heads-up' notifications or whatever it's called? When I receive new Whatsapp messages it appears on top of screen, I want to disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BfstMtn:
Dirty flashed and lost gapps. Re-installed gapps. All's good now. Thanks, [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgusL:
Dirty flashed and lost gapps too. Flashed banks gapps (twice) but no luck, Play Services was missing. Now I am trying with Google Apps Minimal Edition.

Update: Apparently now it is working well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BfstMtn:
Reflashing banks gapps worked for me first time. But I still had to re-add my google account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgusL:
I couldn't add Google account. Play services was missing and had crashes with every Google related app. There was no way to add the account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramosroger:
Hey everybody, just wanted to get help formatting to f2fs. I can't seem to get ADB to work so after formatting, there's no possible way to install a rom on f2fs. So, my question is whether I can move your rom on to my system partition (yes it fit's), switch to f2fs, mount system partition, and install my rom through there. (I would like to know if this works before anybody tries to help me with ADB)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
I too just took the plunge and decided to make the transition from ext4 to f2fs. Just like you I was unable to mount my gnex with adb it gave me an error. So I looked around for an alternative way of switching to f2fs without adb and found this little useful guide..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53024798&postcount=9575

So I went ahead and followed these steps and they sort of worked. I copied the rom and gapps to /cache via the TWRP file manager and they copied just fine. So I went ahead and formatted /data (which includes Sdcard). cache and data successfully formatted to f2fs. Then I went ahead and moved the rom and gapps from cache to my formatted sdcard > flashed zmod 5/10 and I got this really quick recovery reboot for some reason. Once my recovery rebooted my rom and gapps were totally wiped from my sdcard. Thankfully I have a usb otg drive, so I just went ahead and copied the rom and gapps back to sdcard and flashed them. So it all went right with the exception of that small hiccup with the rebooted recovery and missing rom/gapps but I successfully made the transition. I am now setting up my phone and restoring all my data to see what this f2fs thing is all about. Hopefully it was worth it. Keep in mind that you should ignore formating /System since it is not supported by this rom. ALSO REMEMBER TO BACKUP UP YOUR SDCARD as it will be formatted in the process...goodluck. Feel free to ask any questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
Thanks Zyian, after the format is that mean I have to install all the apps again from fresh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
When formatting data you will erase everything on your sdcard which include apps, music, pics etc. So yeah you will have to restore all your apps again (Use titanium backup). Before switching to f2fs remember to backup your entire sdcard including apps via titanium backup or other app backup software you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
OK thanks.

What is the advantage to go for f2fs? Is it because of the new kernel needs f2fs?

So basically I could not dirty flash from the old version ROM, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramosroger:
Didn't work for me either sadly. Although, instead of relying on a otg usb (because I don't own one), I decided to boot up after the quick random reboot and its currently optimizing with my previous data, meaning data didn't get wiped. I hope it at least switched to f2fs or this would all have been a big failure and I wont be able to switch to f2fs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
Well I really don't know too much about f2fs. But in a nutshell it is supposed to offer better performance because of the way the filesystem is structured. I am no expert in filesystems but f2fs is far superior than ext4 according to the many different threads here on XDA and elsewhere around the web. F2FS is completely optional, you don't need it at all, it is just for those that want to get that extra performance edge. As far as flashing this rom itself, well I personally never dirty flash any roms, I always do a clean install just for good measure. But since you are making the transition from ext4 to f2fs, you are essentially doing a clean install since you are formatting everything including /cache and /data. Hope this clears things up for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netreign:
which gapps i must use.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
If you formatted /cache and /data to f2fs via TWRP, well you did it successfully. The only problem you had from my understanding is that you were unable to flash the rom after the quick recovery reboot. But since it is booting up and optimizing well that is a good sign. To verify whether you have f2fs just reboot back to recovery and repeat the format step(s) (BUT DO NOT FORMAT AGAIN) and check to see what your current filesystem is for /cache and /data. It should read f2fs hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
Thanks, I am using TWRP is that mean there is an option in there to format it as f2fs before I flash the new ROM? Or when flash the new ROM it will format it to f2fs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
No you must first flash the TWRP Ziyan provided in the downloads page of this thread. Flash that via flashify. Then you can format. But please make sure you can use adb on your pc or (unless you have a usb otg). I was unable to copy the rom and gapps via adb so I used my usb otg drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
Is that TWRP difference just for GNex? I am already using 2.8.5 can I just update it to 2.8.6.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
That TWRP that Ziyan provided 2.8.6 is modified for f2fs support. I am not sure if your current TRWP 2.8.5 has that capability. If you want to check just go to Wipe>advanced wipe>select cache partition or data>FS options>Change FS> and check to see if f2fs is under "New File System". Just to be safe I would flash 2.8.6 in the downloads page via flashify.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramosroger:
Still ext4, did u check if urs is f2fs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
Yup everything went fine for me. /cache and /data partitions are now f2fs. I haven't noticed any significant improvement in performance but I will give it some time before I come to a conclusion. Were you able to boot up your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ramosroger:
yeah, surprisingly everything went fine except for gapps error
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
OK, my version didn't have f2fs.

Have to google it again how to flash img, I forgot how I flashed TWRP last time lol ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
I'm not sure what other advice I can give you unfortunately. ADB didn't work for me, luckily I had my OTG drive that pretty much saved me in the process. Can you atleast mount your phone to restore your backed up data. I hope your phone is not screwed up...that would really suck. I will look more into this adb issue, I am sure it is just a driver issue thats preventing the phone from being recognized.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Download flashify from the play store. But before you do make sure you can access adb from your pc. If you are going to use the alternative way of switching to f2fs copying the rom and gapps to /cache or /system did not work for me. Make sure you know what you are doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] an430:
Hi all, This is my first time to have f2fs in my gnex with zmod rom, is the first boot take so long that I have to wait for?

Thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Merio90:
Yeah it typically takes anywhere from 5 to 10 mins to fully boot up. Just give it some time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] an430:
Well, I have to keep waiting.....

Thanks !

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Just 25 mins.... with boot loop still.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
I can still use the original way adb to flash the new TWRP, right? Can I still dirty flash the new ROM without moving to f2fs? It is optional, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
It must display "Androind upgrading" in 1..2 minutes after powering on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
I am a bit confused is that mean after flash new TWRP and format it to f2fs. I will not be able to plug the phone to the PC and copy the ROM over like a PC drive as before?

https://plus.google.com/+ChetKener/posts/7No16fUQaFz

As my understanding you can still copy ROM to the phone vs TWRP MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akosijasper:
after testing some LP now i'll try this new zmod.

im not that good in flashing .img so i used TWRP 2.8.0 which is f2fs supported.

downloading.......

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

done flashing.

while open some apps home button is not working.

the swiping down some for quick settings it not working.

green lines on video recorded.

reboot fixed the quick setting bug and camera FC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akhi24nick:
Sometimes internet goes off even when device is connected via wifi. it happens randomly.

Also downloading from playstore happens at a bit rate of 28-30kbps. I have a fast broadband connection and this shouldnt be the case.

I clean flashed zMOD just today. Any solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
Anyone got this error when format to f2fs?

E: mount -o bind '/data/media/0' '/sdcard' process ended with ERROR=255

But at the top Format Complete said Successful.

EDIT:

I did the followings:

1. Flashed TWRP 2.8.6 f2fs support.

2. Wiped Cache and Data to f2fs format.

3. Power off the phone and boot into recovery again, seem this is needed after the format.

4. Used adb push the rom to the phone.

5. Flashed the new rom.

6. Phone boot up OK, go to settings now said version 5.1.1

But the first time I boot into Android and go back to recovery to check, the data and cache back to ext4.

After a few time the data stay at f2fs but the cache keep gone back to ext4 when I went in to double check.

Did I missed something? Why it gone back to ext4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nautilus74:
Would you be able to add the extended desktop in the next version? :)

it would be fantastic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
The summer break is close, I'll have more time to work on this then :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ammarabbasi:
Yes, you can still copy the files to the phone while you are in the recovery. You just need the proper drivers configured on your PC.

To install the drivers, I would recommend Nexus Toolkit, it's a must have for any nexus owner:

Download it from here:

http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/for...s-root-toolkit-v1-6-7-updated-08-06-13-a.html

In case you're running windows 8, follow the steps mentioned in this thread:

Hope that Helps.:)

I also got the same msg but apparently the formatting was successful, I encountered no issues later on.

WebView

[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION], great update. Is it possible to change system's webview to latest from Google Play Store?

There's internal variable in Android named "config_webViewPackageName" which points to the default WebView package (in AOSP it is "com.android.webview"). If we could replace it with "com.google.android.webview" just as what it is in Google's official Android ROMs.

Also, I had an issue while clean installing latest build. While using latest banks gapps had stucked at "checking connection" for a few clean installs. After i changed Gapps package to unofficial PA Gapps everything went well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ptmax13:
a little help here guys,

I clean-flashed the latest build, and queued-flashed the gapps given in the first post without rebooting. ( if that was wrong, please tell me about it).

Then upon rebooting I'm stuck at the "Checking connection..." screen for several minutes. I've tried connecting to other wifi networks but nothing can get me past this screen.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superforever360:
Hi Ziyan, any idea why the cache partition keep gone back to ext4 by itself after boot up the phone with the new ROM?

The data partition seems OK now as f2fs.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
People, I'd like to point out again that f2fs still has no filesystem repair option. From kernel.org:

Not in Tapatalk. ;) I practically never visit the forum with a browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
Ziyan is one of the few remaining lead developers on this project, so he should actually have more than one Galaxy Nexus device to work with. One primary and one backup. I'd say 2 maguro and 2 toro.

It's not greedy to want the right tools for the job.

We need to remind ourselves of the quality of work that is being done here on XDA by the leaders in the Galaxy Nexus community. Even Google can barely get Android working. ;) Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 stock images still have problems with Android 5.1. How can we expect volunteers to develop good software if they barely have 1 device to develop with, test on, AND use daily?

If anyone has spare devices, send them to him. If you post on a similar forum, make a post asking people to send their unused maguro/toro to one of the few Galaxy Nexus developers remaining on XDA.

All I can do is donate money. I'm donating to Ziyan now.

What's weird is this same exact thing has been happening to me on my toro - quick battery drain, deep sleep 98 percent of the time, nothing suspicious in battery stats.

I know you said you tried this using 4.1 factory image in airplane mode - but is it possible that after you flashed the factory image you were connected to the internet just long enough for google play services to update itself?

Looking at the AppOps allow/deny counters on my device, I can see that google play services as well as Android System have been using location an absurd number of times (some 50-60 thousand instances). I reset these every few days - so it's definitely abnormally high. Also, keep awake and wakeup counters for both play services and android system are in the same range (50 thousand+) all of this while battery stats and cpu "time in state" appear normal (good deep sleep, and nothing that is registering held wakelocks).
