Well, you could forget about high accuracy and only use GPS, which of course has some disadvantages. Please be aware, that this affects a lot of custom roms. But no Google factory images.

Temasek published a commit for lollipop, that supposedly fixes the libjavacore.so. But of course that file does not boot KitKat roms.

Soooo, maybe some KitKat devs can use temasek commit to build a libjavacore.so for 4.4.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mateusm:
So I guess we'll have to live with it.

I've been looking around for other stock ROMs but, other than the 4.3 factory image this really is IT. And if you ask me, this is much better than the image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Cataclysm (4.3) or Shinny (4.4) or Unofficial CM11 (4.4) by SGSPluss or ZMod (5.1)

But I don't like Lollipop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mateusm:
I'm gonna give shiny a try. Have you tried it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amd_h4x0r:
I just switched to Shiny after using LiquidSmooth for years. No issues so far and appears to be slightly quicker too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
But not so optimized than this one, imho.

Can't we pick libjavacore.so from a ROM that doesn't FC google services and paste that on /system/lib/?

Wouldn't this fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldlocke:
CM11 is also noticeably slower on my device than AOSP.

In my tests slimkat also had FCs.

Shiny? Don't remember, if I tested that one. Worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
So the problem is with Google Play Services being updated after rom install, and that lib (libjavacore.so).

I'm willing to try anything, but from what rom?. A dude (other device) seems to have the same problem with libjavacore.so (no answers):

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/google-play-services-stopped-t3130687

He tried to replace the file, but no luck.

More people talking about the same issue:

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/service-google-play-crash-every-5-minutes.313493/

How can we avoid updating the Google Play Services?. I have an old nandroid backup of this rom (two months). I'm going to restore it and see what happens (I didn't have such problem then).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldlocke:
Well, you can disable automatic updates in the Play store, but that would mean, you are stuck with old Google app versions that don't require the newer play services.

CM11 so far was the only custom rom, that did not show FCs for me.

I will try a hybrid rom: AOSP sgsplus & CM11 libjavacore.so
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Thanks [MENTION=1525575]goldlocke[/MENTION], good luck.

I've restored a backup from May 7th, everything works (outdated, but works). Maps working with location in high accuracy mode. No FCs.

Let's see whats happen when I update all apps (Google Maps among them...). If after update, I still have no FCs, I'll keep it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldlocke:
Well, if you update they will always nag you with notifications, that you should update your play services, and stop working after the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mateusm:
I thought the lib file fixed it.

I had to restore a CM backup for now. I'll also try AOSP and CM11's lib tonight. Have you tested it yet? Did it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Apps updated from my backup, everything still working ok. Google Play Services version is: 7.5.71 (1955121-036). Would you mind to look which version you have now?.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldlocke:
7.5.71 and 7.5.73 make the FCs for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mateusm:
Just tested. Won't boot using CM11's lib.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
I'll keep running my backup. Restored some app data from titaniumback, and working ok ATM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldlocke:
jep, can confirm that. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mateusm:
Yeah. I guess I'm staying on my backup too until play services update again, then I'll give this another try.

Edit: Spacing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
20 minutes after my last message... FCs!!!! :(

What I have done? after updating xposed framework and rebooted, FCs started to show. Coincidence??

Google Play Services remain the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldlocke:
[MENTION=4815527]sergialess[/MENTION] You have to be on Play services older than 7.5.71
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Deleting all the Google Play Services data, then the location works in high accuracy (Maps, and no FCs).

The problem is that this fix only lasts until you reboot :(.

About the version, I'm not sure a device can run older Google Play Services. I thought you must have latest version always.

Edit: after a whole day taking photos at the zoo, who needs location? (let's take it with humor...)

Now seriously guys, our options are:

- Insist on this rom (don't know how)

- Try with another one (please let me know)

- Buy another sexy phone (yeah! this attracts me xDDD)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benoit.btd:
I'm using 7.5.73 + high precision and do not have any FC's.

I'll try using Maps for guiding again and see if any FC's (indeed, I had FC's before upgrading to 7.5.73).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
[MENTION=2661989]benoit.btd[/MENTION], perhaps is it fixed with that version? (that would be cool!).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoSch68:
FC's comes only with WLAN-precision... 7.5.73 also FC's. High precision without WLAN-Standort is OK...

Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
From my understanding, these FCs are related to GPS and google services... A GPS fix should terminate this problem, so something similar to THIS (Don't flash this on Maguro, it is created for another rom)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benoit.btd:
[MENTION=5011024]JoSch68[/MENTION] : what do you call WLAN-precision ?

(I'm asking because I want to test to see if I get those FC again).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoSch68:
If you activate WLAN-Standort, then comes the FC's...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benoit.btd:
Hi JoSch68.

Strange, on my GNex, In Parameters > Personal > Localization, I have a "Mode" submenu where I can choose 3 differents modes (radio button, not thicks):

- High precision (GPS + mobile network + wifi)

- Battery saving (mobile network + wifi)

- GPS only

See you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Yeah, what he sais is that whenever you choose any of the option with wifi, the FCs are thrown.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benoit.btd:
Oh okay. thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
My current (and probably final) setup:

- Latest Vanir 4.4.4 rom.

- Latest DirtyV kernel + Neph's settings.

- Gapps KK minimal edition.

- SystemUpdateService disabled.

Results:

- Buttery smooth.

- Battery friendly.

- Deep sleep.

- No extra tweaks, no more xposed, no amplify, no greenify, no powernap...

- No more Google Play Services FCs.

Everything is working fine now.

Edit:

As it is not allowed double posting, I must tell here something about a recent findings.

Roms compiled with Linaro toolchains seem to have the location FC problem, like this [MENTION=4920940]sgspluss[/MENTION] AOSP and Omni FML.

Roms compiled without Linaro toolchains, like Vanir or Dirty Unicorns don't have the problem.

So, *may be* something related with the toolchains optimizations are causing these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beniceo:
gps problems

Gps didnt work after flashing this rom ?????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] warbadz:
will this work for all devices running on kitkat?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Its because its not overloaded with heavy features, so far i think.

There more but what exacly was too much to explain.

You can use any kernel you want, this should not be a problem.

News to all btw...

At the moment i am working on the grafical glitches, this are the annoying part to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadToNever:
It seems to have no F2FS support?

EDIT:Had to restore the boot partition or a nandroid of sgspluss's CM11 and it booted up fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
No initial release not, but next release should have it working on /system /data and /cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadToNever:
I'm getting some graphical glitches during rotation. Maybe due to my kernel setup?

Goddamn this rom is fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Grafical glitches are known, this is what i am fixing atm and its not kernel related its rom related.

After this are fixed will add support for full f2fs that everyone can use this rom and kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Good news, grafical glitches are fixed finally!

Now want to:

- add full f2fs support

- add patches to build with gcc 4.8 for better performance

Stay tuned :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadToNever:
Anyone else having trouble running Google Now launcher?

EDIT: Nevermind, after probing GNL a couple of time a a few restarts it showed up in the available launchers list.

EDIT2: Some remaining issues: Can't make some basic storage operations. Screenshot is mangled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Have some problems with full support with f2fs sadly.

This means next update dont have f2fs support build in, but you can convert it since the kernel support it.

Will build it in if found an solution.

Meanwhile will let it build with google gcc 4.8 and as i have written, grafical glitches are fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
After fight with building with gcc 4.8 and performance and stability, think i got it.

Will test it and publish it if its ok.

Reboot menu are already planned and some more.

This will comes after the comming update time by time.

Stay tuned :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
I don't agree too much with the idea of adding features to a stock Rom. It's your Rom, do what you what with it, but I'd keep it stock as much as you can. You can use Xposed Framework and gravity box to enhance the experience.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Dont worry, its not my goal to overload it wanna stay clean an simple.

Just readd few nice and light features like reboot menu, but not heavy features which slow down the system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
aosp_kitkat_maguro-20150328 is online!

Please give an feedback about performance and stability compared to last version.

Also to all who want use this rom with f2fs, the kernel is prepared you just need to convert the rom.

The needed tool are linked in first post.

Happy flashing ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
I did the Windows version of that tool :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knopper84:
So has anyone tried Fancy Kernel with the ROM yet?

Would it still be faster than? or maybe slower?

Is the Rom perhaps as fast and stable as if Google would habe published a stock KK-update? (GPU-drivers and so on)

I guess thats what all oft US want....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
I dont try other kernel because i am still happy with optimized stock which is built in.

You can try any kitkat kernel you want, its up to you.

For me the rom are stable so far, its also optimized a bit for better performance and so on (but still work on it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
[MENTION=4920940]sgspluss[/MENTION]

apart from some google play exchange services stopping working randomly (although they happen more often with gmail apk) and the camera being a little bit slow focusing the rom is great, faster than CM and really makes the phone fly!

Going back to your CM version, can't avoid the features xd. Will test again and give feedback when a next big update comes around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knopper84:
Whats with the Battery drain caused by Google Play Services?

Is it fixed in this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Thank you for reporting will look into it!

Personally dont faced any problem with batterydrain, batterylife are pretty good better as on CM in my tests.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadToNever:
I can't make conference calls with this ROM, as well as with LP roms. Is this some kernel limitation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Just a note on the converter tool and this rom:

Unfortunately, the converter is not converting properly this rom into F2FS because there are duplicated file names (mostly .ogg in /media folder).

So if you want to convert it, you first must deambiguate that files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Thank you will take a look maybe there is a way to fix it.

Thank you for this hint, you mean the media files ringtone, notification and alarm right?

Maybe we have to figure out what are dublicates and remove them by default.

This would make the convert part easier for all they wanna convert it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Yeah, but only the files with same name in the same folder. For example:

/notifications/Vega.ogg

/notifications/vega.ogg

(note the lower/upper case "V")

While Linux FS supports that kind of file name duplication, Windows FS don't. So perhaps this problem is only happening with those who try to convert using Windows.

I deleted some obstructing .ogg and I think that the rom will work very fine! =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Perfect, will take a look also on this for next update.

Thank you for your helping because i dont faced it since never use f2fs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Unfortunately, it doesn't boot for me, in spite of being converted to F2FS. I'll keep investigating.

I think people is reluctant to use F2FS, and I myself am considering to go back to Ext4...

Thanks!.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Then i need to look again on rom, kernel are ok.

Aosp code is different then omni and cyanogenmod, that should be the reason.

Will work again on f2fs if the rest working as it has to, then i also have more time to work on.

And to be honest, ext4 isnt bad at all ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endursa:
are those fixes to the graphics bugs on the maguro custom from you, or are they also to be found on cm11 or PA `for example?

i am just asking because i need to update a Gnex from a friend and he wants a fast stable and minimal rom (best thing would be aosp with app ops funktions :D)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
[MENTION=4920940]sgspluss[/MENTION], F2FS was first impulsed by BSmitty in the Gnex scene. Some of us were trying to adopt and standarize it, but at the end both FS are just fine. Don't bother trying to fix it. You can better focus on another points ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Those fixes (more commits) you can found actually in every kitkat rom, so its not just in this rom.

Right, thats the reason why will work on it later if other things are good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Whats going on...

At the moment i am working on performance, means will use linaro toolchain, but have to fix few things befor this is ready to go.

Also want made some chnages for batterylife, its quite good but can be better.

Then last but not least, planned to rebase the kernel for cleaner codebase and to stay near to aosp.

Stay tuned :)

Integrated Root Access is a thing to consider in AOSP or is it out of question?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Root will not integrated by default, since it simple to get it by flashing supersu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
For me, SuperSU is a more developed and mature application. The rest of apps work happier with SuperSU :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
For performance i reverted archidroid optimizations and use linaro toolchain.

The kernel are new rebased which offers cleaner codebase and add uksm and other things which added befor.

Also disabled dataroaming by default and allow override of dun settings, which should save a bit more battery.

Will compile the final build, test it and release it if all ok.

Going to test it now with a clean install. I'll give feedback later by editing this post.

Will use the latest minigapps you recommended and the latest supersu (also got the link from here). No custom kernel at first and maybe later with DirtyV or Fancy or Franco.

#With Stock Kernel#

There's some lag with locking/unlocking the phone.

#With DirtyV#

No problems found.

** General problem: I'm having "Google Exchange Services stopped working" pop ups. I had them in the first boot and they come back eveytime I check my email or do something that requires having an account logged in to Android. I froze email.apk with titanium backup but I don't think it is the problem since in the first boot I hadn't anything frozen.

Finally decided to go back to Ext4 FS. Installed latest build, latest MiniGapps and latest SuperSU. Everything seems to work pretty well ATM, but it is hard to go back to pure AOSP coming from CM11 and all of its candies.

What do you do in order to enhance the user experience? are you using Xposed + GravityBox?. No more swipping kb?.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Thank you for reporting this, will try to fix it soon as possible.

I dont use any modifications or else, just pure aosp. If you need swipe look into playstore for google keyboard, there swipe should work. All other things could be done with xposed and gravitybox, but i dont use it because like pure aosp feeling without overloaded system.

I simply can't stand how LP works in this device. I've tested several roms and all I can say is I hate LP =)

KK works as it is expected for a three years old device. I'm assuming Dalvik and not ART. ART never convinced me in the Gnex.

Lollipop isnt bad it offers quite nice performance but they had too may problems at the beginning and even now there are few.

Also the stock style arent nice, too bright too many colours mixed and loose transprency in e.g. launcher.

If google had optimized kitkat with the performance from lollipop, changed the last blue accents into white, overhaul the icons, maybe clean out the style a bit

and last but not least dont remove options like they did with silent mode, then it was more as perfect.

But this are just my mind...

And thats the reason why i am still workin on kitkat and not on lollipop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Conte Mascetti:
That's exactly what I think about lollipop and the reason why if I buy a z3 compact (soon or late) I won't update it to lollibleargh ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Hehe, yes this will changed the blue holo accents (from ics/jb) into kitkat white/gray accents...

Sure this is easier but you have to download the theme and the theme manager stick in background (needs ressources).

This solution what you can see, is built in so no extra things needed.

Whatever, to be honest this needs time and of course have to check if its working.

As i have said its for now just an idea, first have other things to do they are more important.

Two questions:

- Why JustArchi's optimizations aren't compatible with Linaro?

- If ddk 1.9 were fully fixed, wouldn't the Rom be more performant with it?

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus usando Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
Archis optimizations use one flag which ends up in graphical glitches in playstore if you use linaro for compiling. There was an fix, but its not working anymore. After few tests rom and kernel works also nice without them, but using linaro of course.

Dont know if ddk 1.9 are usefull in kitkat, since the ddk 1.8 are working so far without problems. Performance comes from other changes which google done with art and so on, its not depends on ddk version.
