Thank you very much for your support and effort. I'm giving that a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leacha:
Welcome back! You are truly missed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Tried latest 4.4 rom and the proposed gapps, and no luck either. System starts, then you can sign into the google account, and then the Play Services/Store are updated. After that, I've installed some apps like GMail or Hangouts, but whenever I try to launch that apps, I get constant FCs. Unfortunaly this is not working at all. It's like if the apps have some sort of trouble authenticating the user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
Someone tried my kernel settings on 6.0.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Sorry, haven't had time due to private life trouble. I'll check once I have enough time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomcheng76:
Just for other galaxy nexus users

I tried latest 4.4.4 (20180921) with open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20170831.zip, the opengapps works

The latest opengapps pico/nano for 4.4 does not work, i don't know why.

Using recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-maguro.img

There isn't permission setting for 4.4, so you can proceed the gmail registration directly during first boot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Try GAPPS versions approx. before January-February 2017. All later versions require at least Android 6.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dicer42:
Wow! Thanks for providing this amazing ROM! I tried 4.4 first but found that many apps don't support it anymore so I went to 7.1.2. I ran into some problems cause it was thinking the data partition was encrypted even though it wasn't (looking for stuff in /data/user_de/), but a reformat of data helped (don't just wipe, actually reformat).

It would be great to get the latest security updates for 7.1.2 though! As far as I can see, in September they were only applied to 4.4.

With only very few apps installed this is perfect as a work phone! I only use email, contacts and calendar anyway and that works great and fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
7.1.2 might get an update when I find time. Currently I am applying all the asb patches to UA but I am stepping back from Android completely because private life changed a lot last months. I am not sure if someone of our team has the time to apply updates to old branches in future, time will show.

Best regards

Andi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 145rbkp:
hi guys does wifi hotspot work for you in the latest 4.4 build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stephendt0:
Just revived my old GNex, running Android 7.1.2. All seems to be working so far, but did get a few crashes in the setup wizard. Poor thing runs pretty slow though :( poor NAND must be on its last legs

Edit: Once I finished installing apps, it seemed pretty snappy. Looks like it'll do the basics nicely :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Oops, a new 7.1 build??? What's new?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
4.4, 6.0 and 7.1 got security updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MiSSigNNo:
After installing tuna 7.1.2 + deltadroid 7.1.2 gapps + latest supersu with latest maguro twrp it gets stuck in the Setup Wizard "checking for updates" screen....

After 5 minutes or so Setup Wizard just stops and throws an error with "Open app again" or "send feedback"

Before updating I just wiped everything: /data /system and all caches...

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Try without SuperSu.

If that doesn't work test without gapps until you find the problem. Might be an gapps issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MiSSigNNo:
I read in the very first messages of this thread, that it's strictly important to start with gapps before booting because otherwise there will be a ton of issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Try an older or newer gapps package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MiSSigNNo:
I've managed to go through the wizard just by not adding the Wifi in the initial config and pressing the fast as possible the next button after that (otherwise it just resets at some point)

But a little walkthrough, I think I'm going to downgrade to 4.4.4. Things are going extremely slow in 7.X specially the cam.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
In builds.unlegacy-android.org just one 7.1.2 remained.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
We've run out of space for new builds, that's why we had to remove old builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] St0neC0ld:
Hey guys, great rom, works smooth on my old GNex. I want to use the orignal hdmi dock, is there a way to enable this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilya_m:
hey, I can't find any version of the rom. can anyone upoad a copy, or do I miss it somewhere?

UPD: ok there is a tuna device, I suppose this is the one to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guest4711:
Yeah, tuna is correct for all variants of GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilya_m:
Hi, I'm installing it now and the is some issue with starting the rom. How do you check logs for such case?

upd:it is stuck on android logo, I tried all usual, and tried to fix file system via latest twrp

upd: not a dig deal, linage worked fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KemikalElite:
Flashing 7.1.2 build erased TWRP and replaced it with a generic recovery. How?

recovery reads "google/ua_tuna/tuna 7.1.2/N2G48H/2696 userdebug/test-keys"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
What TWRP version? Maybe not up to date?

You've change filesystem to f2fs on some partitions? It's not supported here on every partition.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

You've enabled recovery update in developer options by accident? It's disabled by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KemikalElite:
Thank you. That option at least explained how it happened although I never enabled it considering I couldn't even get the ROM to boot at all even after factory reset. That's okay, the 6.0 build is good enough.

I'm only slightly upset that this ruined my perfectly good recovery and that I can't just easily restore TWRP because the OEM USB drivers don't recognize fastboot and I can't just install the unsigned drivers that do work because Windows has a bug that shuts off my PC at the disable driver signature enforcement screen.

That's okay, I'll figure it out. It's just more work than I was expecting to get a simple ROM update on a spare phone. All good though. Sorry for ranting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
For not booting there's no reason besides using f2fs on partitions you shouldn't have changed.

Or because TWRP was outdated. (Well, flashing wrong gapps or unsupported kernel and mods could be a reason too).

If it helps: Boot Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu from a USB Drive, install fastboot and try if you can access your device that way. I NEVER had issues detecting a device properly on Linux while Windows often had trouble.

Edit:

Latest TWRP compiled myself for all tuna variants and used on my Maguro: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=208209&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KemikalElite:
I've tried flashing:

lineage-13.0_maguro-6.0.1-20180510-2053

lineage-13.0_tuna-6.0.1-20190406-2008

ua_tuna-6.0.1-20190210-0305

ua_tuna-7.1.2-20181227-1745

Wiped /system /data /cache every time. All partitions ext4.

No gapps, no mods, no kernels, no other zips. Using recovery TWRP 3.2.3-0 official. It will not move past the boot logo for me either. Maybe I need to use an even older build? 2017? This is very odd for nothing to boot. Is 10 minutes enough time to assume its not going to load or should I be waiting more?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Could you try if my TWRP boots for you if official doesn't?

After flashing a ROM:

Do you see the Bootanimation or it's stucking on bootloader?

Able to catch a dmesg or /proc/last_kmsg ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilya_m:
So I tried: flashed twrp via bootloader, went to twrp, wiped system and data flashed ua-tuna only. pushed reboot system. and then it is hanging on OS load screen (saying "android" with horizontal gradient changing, not "google"). checking for logs meantioned.

btw: it is actually warmer than usual.

btw: ua changed recovery to default one, mb it is ok, I tried disabling it in options, but mabe the setting was gone after the wipe

upd: oops actually adb was available, so new logs attaching.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kahenraz:
Hello. I would like to try this ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (toro) but I would also like to use it with Open GApps.

The problem is that the default size of the /system partition is too small for even the smallest release (pico).

I tried using repit to resize the system partition size I get an error:

https://github.com/Lanchon/REPIT/issues/92

How can I resize the /system partition to make this ROM usable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aydar3011:
Does this ROM support AnyKernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Afternoon all,

Is still possible to have a "fully" working Kitkat system nowadays?. Ok, ok... let's remove the word "fully". I need this phone as backup because my current phone died, and GNex lags more than I wanted with 7.1.2 =).

Are the Gapps 4.4 still valid in 2019?

Thanks and regards,

Sergio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
There's a working TWRP, make a backup of.your current system and try if this ROM makes you happy.

Gapps by Deltadroid fork KitKat should work fine http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergialess:
Many thanks for the link. I'm giving it a try right now! :).

Edit: overall this is working. Latest GMail is not showing up, though. I'll try with an earlier version (APK).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Can't connect to the camera. In any app. I don't have Open Camera, but I have QR Droid and it doesn't work too.

I just found the usb otg is not working in aosp-6.0 kernel branch, it's working fine on aosp-6.0-smc branch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guskok21:
Dirty flashed but camera didn't work after some time. I thought it was the fault of dirty flash and made a clean install and fell in Bootloop. Maybe is the gapps or su that I flashed, didn't have the time to test so I reverted in the previous built.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PythonNut:
Sorry guys, I couldn't find the time to capture the logs for the freezes on large sequential disk read.

I will note, though, that I can reproduce it my trying to calculate the MD5sum of a large file (which suggests that network/MTP is not related), and strangely, producing the large file to begin with doesn't seem to be problematic.

Hopefully, I'll get another shot at the problem this week.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kiai72:
does anybody know, why torbrowser does not work on this rom ? (GNX 7.1)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gappsfreeandhappy:
Could be a memory problem. Torbrowser is based on firefox (for android) which is already very heavy and hardly usable for me - sadly this is the only browser which supports ublock origin on android... :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guest4711:
Fennec F-Droid - https://f-droid.org/app/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid - is a firefox clone working well on android. uBlock origin is supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gappsfreeandhappy:
It's actually the same (just stripped out some home calls/analytics) as the 'normal' firefox for android and also the memory footprint is basically the same. Very heavy for old g'nexus. Firefox klar (focus) - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.klar/ might be a better alternative - sadly without ublock but at least a basic ad- and tracking-blocker is included. And most important: It runs quite smooth on our old galaxy :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gappsfreeandhappy:
Can someone point me to the sources of this? I want to try to build this rom with recent security patches.

Their are two links in this wiki: https://www.unlegacy-android.org/projects/unlegacy-android/wiki/Tuna_info#Source-code but only the one to the device is valid (last commit september 2018 if that's right?), link to the kernel is a 404 not found.

Otherwise it also would be really great if someone has the full sources of a lineage os 14.1 (android 7.1), I don't know if it's right but [MENTION=4695183]zeelog[/MENTION] had the most recent rom published (march 2019) for our device if I'm right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Source is on GitHub. Note that LineageOS needs some additions and source changes if you like to use UA as base for it.

Tuna shares the Kernel now with Tab2 variants,

android_kernel_ti_omap4 (3.0/common branch).

I've Slim7 and Omni7 ready with April 2020 ASB (needs to be uploaded), Jenkins failed for UA builds but might be there next days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gappsfreeandhappy:
Sorry, but this is simply wicked! :laugh:

This phone will have his 9th birthday this year (means the development startet for sure more than 10 years ago!). The phone was initially shipped with Android 4.0.

To have a up-to-date rom (security wise) in 2020 is just awesome and probably the oldest still (community) supported phone (on earth?). Google might not like this action against planned obsolescence - but I like it very much :victory:

A specially very big thank's to [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION] for his great work for the community :good:;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Well, there's closed source parts which still might have security issues and no way to fix them, also 3.0 kernel is quite out of date and for sure misses some patches.

And generally: not always every asb patch can be applied to the Rom Source because of different sources bases which conflict.

There's a lot of security holes fixed, while other might be still there and never be closed.

But yeah, those ROMs might be the safest ROMs available for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inselstaat:
Is there any chance that you will upload it? I want to give it a try, i just charged my Nexus after 5 years :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Still waiting for Jenkins to be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gappsfreeandhappy:
You should meanwhile try the fresh slim7 (2020-04-21) build - simply awesome! I don't remember having such a smooth rom ever running on my nexus. Even firefox with ublock origin runs fast and stable :victory: This phone feels like new - again! :good:

I used LOS 14.1 the last years but that always lagged and had some problems with the camera... big difference now with slim 7!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Jenkins is working again, but there's some omap4 changes we're currently reviewing which should be merged before new 7.1.2 builds go public.

Thanks for your patience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Firerouge:
There was a kernel mod for 4.* implemented in franco kernel to force enable fast charging.

Any chance this can be carried into 7.*, I can't seem to get anything faster than a USB charging rate without it currently.

Its been 1 year, 4 months, 1 week, 4 days, just short of 500 days,

I still can't get this phone to boot, even with the 2020 update. I've tried using your recovery as well as the new 3.4.0.0 (can't believe twrp still builds images for this).

I've trying reflashing stock (both takju and yakju).

Last year I faintly remember finally getting a 5.0 ROM or something to boot but I can't get anything modern working on this phone.

I wanted a phone that I could use as a desktop mic without a battery connected but oh well, I guess I'll just have to use one of my old tablets.

@Ziyan thank you for contiuing builds all the way until last year (2020) for the toroplus :) It makes a great cheap phone on Red Pocket.

That being said, with the CDMA network shutting down sooner than later I hope to be able to get LTE working.

I picked up 5 toroplus devices from eBay to mess with. Let me know if you want some. And/or want an apprentice to "help" with Oreo hahaha. Honestly I'm a visual learner and learn by hands-on experience. Watching, and participating)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EirikrHinnRauthi:
I would *really* like to learn how hands-on. Crash course. Its how I climbed the ladder at work in the I.T. field and I hope it will translate to me learning here.

Would love to help with a new build of TWRP.

From there would love to try to work REPIT into this ROM with ya'll so that it automatically gives the 1GB system partition to install additional GAPPS from the get-go (1GB system + 1GB RAM = whaaaaat semi-modernish layout?!?! whoaaaaaa)

Dunno what to do with the kernel, but eventually want to get to the point of porting Oreo< onto this device for better low-RAM management. (Dual core, 1GB RAM device seems to fit what Oreo was built for)

Also want to get the ROM updated with latest security patches.

So anyway. If you guys offer "paid courses" through Telegram or just spending hours on a Discord call while you explain what you are doing and I type notes, or you have me actively participating and guiding... or something... I would love to join.

I start chemo on Monday and have always wanted to work on something like this.... and will be home a lot... so why not.
