[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schneewitzchen:
Hi guys,

first of all, i wanna say thank you for your hard work to bring this rom up.

Since my Nexus 5x needs to be fixed in a repair center, i wanted to use my old gnex along this time. So i was looking for newer os versions of android and found this one here.

I don't know why, but every version of this rom i flashed to my gnex gets stuck at boot animation. Please have a look at the last_kmsg from last boot.

My setup is:

Clean wiped phone (factory reset + wiped system)

ua_tuna-7.1.2-20171130-0351.zip

twrp version 3.2.0.0

Flashed only the rom package in twrp to see if it boots.

The only thing i see is that in line 503

[ 7.292633] omap-rproc omap-rproc.1: rproc_loader_cont: failed to load ducati-m3.bin

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
You've made sure system is unmounted before flashing?

I'd suggest to reboot recovery once after a wipe/factory reset before flashing anything.

You've tried an older TWRP too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schneewitzchen:
Yes system was unmounted...but to be safe i tested it actually with rebooting recovery after wiping. System was definitely unnmounted. Yes i tried your 3.1.1.0 decrypted version, 3.1.1.0 original version and lately 3.2.0.0 original version.

I've attached dmesg & last_kmsg from last try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Make sure system, cache and data are ext4 formatted. F2fs isn't supported.

EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p6): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schneewitzchen:
Thank you for that hint...seems that this block had no filesystem at all...mounted this block with ext4 via adb shell. After that, system booted up :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Yes, what you are describing matches my experience. We were travelling this past week, it worked well in some places and terribly in others. Driving through Atlanta, the connection was solid enough that we had two chromebooks tethered at the same time on 4G, both watching youtube. I also had days where it was next to impossible to get any data connection at all.

It may well be that setting up two apns rather than one might work better than having just one, I will test that out over the coming week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tayyeb:
Hi

Would someone please tell me if it is compatible with Maguro? I visited the downloads site but didn't find any folder for Maguro. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
Yes, It works with maguro.

"Tuna" is branch there.

Tuna = Maguro / toro / toroplus, those Tuna builds are unified builds and work with all G-Nex variants.

[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] Hi, Is this project possible to support nexus 6? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wavedashdoc:
I second this. It would be good to have a stable 7.1 base with monthly security patches for Shamu now that official Google support is ended and currently the KRACK fix is not in place. (And hopefully 8.0 plus future iterations)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guarmanda:
Does it works with galaxy s4?

Does it supports microG project apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wavedashdoc:
No.

https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ziyan:
Unfortunately, none of our developers have a Nexus 6 to support it, so unless someone with a device steps up as a maintainer, or one of our developers get a device, we can't do it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
In kernel adiutor under virtual memory section there is Z-RAM, what's more or less the right quantity to set?

I installed a couple of days ago the 7.1.2 2012-12-21, due to some "not responding" I also installed the Andi's anykernel of 2017-12-02 it gives less lag (example scrolling setting menu).

The free RAM as soon after boot is 316÷403 MB, during the use it never reached less then 100 MB but "non responding" remains, example while using Maps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baffo92:
[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] thanks for the endless support you give for our beloved Galaxy Nexus!

Will the Unlegacy Android Project include an Android 8.1 build (Android GO Version) or 7.1.2 build will be the last one for our Smartphone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
I think they have tried to make 8.1 work, but it is difficult right now. With time and more work I think someone will find a way!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Those who are on 4.4:

AOSP Browser was removed for security reasons. Most lightweight Browser use KitKats webview which isn't up to date any more and there's ATM no proper way to update it.

You should use a browser which has its own webview implementation like Chrome, Firefox or Chromium.

From what I have tested Chromium seems to be a good solution. Here's my self compiled Chromium:

https://github.com/andi34/prebuilt_chromium/raw/master/ChromePublic.apk

(It's only missing h264 encoder for legal reasons...H.264 is not a free codec and I don't have the license for distributing)

For Android 5+

https://github.com/andi34/prebuilt_chromium/raw/master/ChromeModernPublic.apk

For Android 7+

https://github.com/andi34/prebuilt_chromium/raw/master/MonochromePublic.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
Fantastic work building Chromium, Andi. I think other device forums may find this build useful...!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
It's easy to compile, you only need a lot of storage and a lot of time because compiling takes ages [emoji23]

BTW. Here's the additions, some taken from CopperheadOS patches for Chromium:

- Chromium: disable strict mode

- hide passwords.google.com link when not supported

- Chromium: use startpage searchengine by default

- use Chromium branding in more places

- add DuckDuckGo search engine

- disable data reduction proxy promotions

- disable first run welcome page

- disable autofill by default

- disable hyperlink auditing by default

- disable metrics by default

- disable network prediction by default

- disable contextual search by default

- disable navigation error correction by default

- enable dubious Do Not Track feature by default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoolTomb:
Which version of 7.1 ROM is better for battery life and performance (Lineage OS, Unegacy, Omni)? How is this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
:D

470 MB free
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoolTomb:
Approved
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
There's basically no difference because they're all made by the same people, from the same source. Right now I use zeelog's unofficial lineage 14 build because he has some tweaks applied which I think might make it a little more stable. But there's NO difference in battery life or speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoolTomb:
In my case this in not true. The Unlegacy Rom is better in performance. It use half ram then Lineage os.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
My phone has systemUI crashes with restart of the launcher that set every time the default (pink sunset) wallpaper.

-----------------------------

After this the wifi network won't be more found untill the reboot of the phone (wallpaper still be the default).

EDIT: this not always true, right now I hade a systemUI restart and wi-fi still works.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoolTomb:
Android 8.1

Will we have a 8.1 ROM for galaxy nexus??¿

Is it possible or the device is too old??¿

For now thank you for 7.1 ROM ???
[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
I think the system partition is too small for allow Oreo installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] l254285716:
hi， [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION]

I'm from CN, I had install the tuna 20180111 successful to my maguro, but there is no folder manager and internet app

so, i can not install any app, if there i'm lost some .zip patch?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
Zip is okay.

Browser is removed for reason, read here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75007188&postcount=1999

For file manager: settings > storage > explore .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
8.1 is possible but I think the developers are working on other things right now! We have a way to get a 1GB system partition, so that will not be a problem.

Unfortunately I don't know how to install a browser in a ROM with no browser to download the browser... :eek:

And I checked if fdroid or firefox have flashable .zip files, and I couldn't find any. So I think you may need to start over and flash the ROM, then Google Apps, then use the google app store to install a new browser that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rahimali:
Easy enough to do, enable adb debugging from developer settings and sideload any .apk you want with the following command in a command prompt after connecting phone to PC

adb install "c:\download\firefox.apk" (or whatever the location of the .apk is)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thagringo:
After almost a year without even looking at my gnex, I reinstalled 7.1 this last weekend and I’m always very surprised with how well this phone performs.

Obviously no idea if we will ever have 8.x but if we do that would be yet another astonishing achievement. I mean, how many phone from 2011 are out there that actually have a functional nougat ? Not many !!

Thanks again guys !!

Youtube app shows black screen when playing a video, already cleaned app data without solve.

System has been recently updated to ua_tuna-7.1.2-20180116-1625.zip.

Any tip?

EDIT: was caused by ADblocker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Any logcat & dmesg?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
Reboot the phone. If YouTube works after a reboot, then you may have run into a bug with dalvik. I have told Ziyan about this, and he wants to take a look when he can.

Try using this to make system logs and upload them to google drive for sharing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
No dmesg, and no fix with reboot.

After fresh system install and apps restored by TB (also Youtube), all works.

EDIT: was caused by ADblocker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
Hi again, I can't adjust the volume during calls both with headphones or external speaker or internal speaker.

All fine when listening music or watching video (Spotify, Play Music, Youtube), because the volume is different from that of calls.

EDIT: after a couple (not one) of reboot it returns to work.

EDIT 2: it happened again.

Sent at your e-mail logcat concerning calling volume "freezed".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Screenshot of log is useless, I am also not checking my mails - email for spam only which frequently gets deleted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calabross:
Hi all,

recently I flashed ua_tuna-7.1.2-20180125-0558 over my GNex.

All seems to work fine except volume during calls: when I try to change it, on display appears the actual level that correctly goes up and down but volume doesn't indeed.

Doing all configuration on phone I rebooted it many and many times but this issues remains.

This problem was reported on 23th jan (I think on previous image, maybe ua_tuna-7.1.2-20180118-0611):

.

Thanks for your work! ;)

I want to update my ROM. Are your toro APN things mainlined now? Do I have to flash anything to get 4G? Were you able to get it to have more than one APN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
No, my changes have not been merged. One of the changes we need is in f/opt/telephony, which is not forked on UA, so there's no way to merge that one. 3g works great on the official builds, but not 4g. I ran out of space on my hard drive and the Android stuff had to go for the moment, maybe I can do some backup and cleanup soon and get another build out. I also ran short on time in my life lately, and again, android stuff has had to wait.

I tried various combinations of APNs but didn't come to any conclusions. I ended up using 3g mostly because it seemed to drop the connection rather often when set to 4g. Usually, toggling mobile data off and back on was enough to get it going. Currently I'm running a recent official build on 3g only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mirhl:
If you are out of space for android stuff, a suggestion could be to switch to btrfs with lzo or zlib compression
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scandy:
[MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] is there any chance to build an oreo ROM for this old but still good phone?

Or, on the other hand, someone knows if, at least, call volume setting is still not working?

thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Does the latest 7.1 build with a GAPPS package (e. g. opengapps pico) fit the stock system partition?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calabross:
it does for smaller packages (e.g gapps pico or nano) . But, for Gnex, is better to resize system partition (to get the correct display of its size - 1 GB). See this guide at [TOOL] Lanchon REPIT: The Data-Sparing Repartitioning Tool For Android - https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tool-lanchon-repit-data-sparing-t3358036/post66344372
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Is it safe to set system=max and cache=min on this device? Or only fixed values?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
Repit for our device already comes with default settings built right into the file name :) You only need to download the right file and flash it :) I do not recommend being among the first to test something different ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
I see, it's 1 G system and 62 M cache.

Is anyone having issues with battery life on 7.1.2?

I am using the latest ZIP for 7.1.2 (ua_tuna-7.1.2-20180208-0606).

I've been using the ROM as primarily a Music Player, and I enable Airplane Mode to extend the battery life as much as possible.

However, I am noticing strange behavior that I didn't notice in the previous version I was using in 6.0.1 (ua_tuna-6.0.1-20171004215110)

Despite having Airplane Mode on, Battery Details are telling me that "Cell standby" is powered on and is constantly searching for a cellular signal.

I also noticed that when I entered the Testing menu, even when I disable the cell radio, it turns back on.

To test, I did the following

1) Opened dialer, and entered * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # *

2) Phone information

3) I see that Cellular Radio Power is still enabled despite airplane mode being on.

If I toggle the switch to off, it turns back on automatically.

I also checked with adb, and Airplane Mode is configured to turn off cell signal.

G:\platform-tools>adb shell settings get global airplane_mode_radios
cell,bluetooth,wifi,nfc,wimax

This behavior doesn't appear to happen in the 6.0.1 ROM.

Any ideas on what I can do? I've tried forcing Battery Saver to on, but it seems to make very little difference.

1st screenshot shots me toggling off the cell radio, but it toggles back on automatically

2nd screenshot shows the Cellular Standby in Battery Info
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Has anyone successfully applied REPIT to this device? I constantly get errors even if it is flashed from /tmp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ____Mdd:
What errors ?

Have you tried to unmount 'data' 'cache' manually from mount tab and then flash from /tmp ?

It's working fine in my phone. Also check that version of repit is latest from available....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Yes, I've tried everything, it says "device ... is busy". What is the newest version? I can find only a version dated January 2017.

Ps, my data partition is f2fs and all other partitions are ext4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
F2fs isn't supported ROM side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
I'm guessing that the maker of REPIT didn't test with f2fs. We're lucky he supported us at all ;) You'll probably be able to resize in the future if you change to ext4, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kralle_bw:
I can confirm a massive battery drain.

Even with minimal usage the battery only last half a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HypnoticSilence:
Thanks for the confirmation. I reflashed back to the latest version of 6.0.1 (ua_tuna-6.0.1-20180211-0009.zip) and it seems like the battery life is back to what I expected.

So, for whatever reason, it seems to be a 7.x.x specific issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
All UA Roms now use the default libion. Please don't use any custom kernel on it - it'll break camera and domx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calabross:
somebody knows, please?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b8842dc0:
Can somebody explain the official steps for flashing *updates*? Last week I did a clean flash of the 20180208 7.12 build (did a factory wipe, also wiped internal storage, and then flashed the ROM and also flashed opengapps. Everything came up fine and it has been working well. This morning, I wanted to update to the 20180215 7.1.2 build.

I realize from page one that I *must* re-flash open gapps after flashing the ROM. So here is what I did:

1. Download the 20180215 ROM.

2. Rebooted into recovery.

3. Flashed 20180215 ROM.

4. Flashed opengapps.

5. Cleared cache and dalvik.

6. Rebooted.

After this, I was stuck on the android logo for over an hour. It never came up. Do I have to do a factory wipe for each weekly update? I would hope for a weekly update, that a factory wipe would not be needed.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Maybe you need to format /system before flashing the update and gapps again.

Clean flash boots fine without gapps.

And like always: attach a logcat and dmesg if you face any issues.

Edit:

Without wiping/formatting /system there might still be the ti libion and causing trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guest4711:
It's always a good idea to wipe system, cache & dalvik before flashing system...

So

2a. Wipe System, cache and dalvik-cache
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
After each screen tap I see tens of identical lines in logcat:

02-22 20:33:00.421 587 635 E Tuna PowerHAL: Error writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/boostpulse: No such device

This file actually exists, but is unreadable.

WTF?

PS, is it possible to add overclocking, undervolting and adjustment of thermal limits to this kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
15/02 == 157.3 MB

20/02 == 154.9 MB

22/02 == 157.3 MB again

:p Many updates lately, any important improvement?

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calabross:
I know the steps for flashing *updates* are, in order:

1. Reboot into recovery.

2. Wipe System, cache and dalvik-cache

3. Flash new ROM.

4. Flash opengapps, superSU or magisk, etc...

5. Clear cache and dalvik.

6. Reboot.

Is there a way to flash newer ROMs saving all the installed apps? I would like to avoid to reinstall/set up all the apps i use...

I asked a couple of times where it is possible to find a changelog for ua_tuna releases with no answer... :(

I know we have only to thank all the mantainers & contributors for this project. :good:

but a changelog (or where to find it) would be much appreciated ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guest4711:
The procedure you are describing is called "dirty flashing". This way your installed apps, your settings and data are preserved. If you wipe data too, you are performing a " clean flashing" which also cleans your settings, apps and most of your data (if not stored in /sdcard) (like factory reset).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
You can flash with no wiping, or only wiping dalvik cache, and whether this works or not depends entirely on what changed inside the ROM between the two versions. Sometimes it will work, and sometimes it will not. Bigger organizations of course do the work to make sure you can dirty flash between two big releases so people aren't hassled. But in XDA development there is no big team of people to do that. So you can try a dirty flash, and if it doesn't work, wipe everything. And you can always backup your old install and use it for a long time without updating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calabross:
that's why i think will be useful have a changelog.

even something easy like, e.g.: solved volume issue, added some functions, removed one features, etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
Install Changelog by Bytehamster from PlayStore

Add a custom Gerrit URL ( https://gerrit.unlegacy-android.org/ )inside settings, you can also filter special branches if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android-Andi:
You can read the description of the commits also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Does anyone experience problems with Youtube on this ROM? The Youtube app stops working in 10 to 20 minutes, then I get only sound without video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerpert:
Sometimes but mostly at first use, then close/open and all gone fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
In my case it needs a reboot, looks like a CMA issue. Camera also stops working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KShion619:
try YouTube Go (Apkmirror) or NewPipe (via F-Droid App Store)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
In this case it's the video playback on the phone that breaks, so different players won't help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KShion619:
CMA's auto allocation of Shared memory makes lower RAM usage pretty appetizing, if CMA cannot allocate those resources for whatever reason, it'll fail to load those drivers, breaking media functions. my EspressoWifi and tuna don't present this issue on 7.1.2, but I have gapps on neither device

thanks! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elma13:
Hey, I am trying to install this rom from stock to my old nexus and I get error code 70 unmounting system.

There is a message which says that there is insufficient storage space available.

I read the OP about unmounting the system and I googled it as I wasn't sure what to do.

So I download the latest nougat rom, the equivalent open nano gapps and magisk 16.

"Clean" wipe

Mount and uncheck system

Install the 3 zips

Get the error during the installation of the gapps

I doubt the phone has not enough space, but I can check. So most likely it is something with the unmounting the system.

Can you help me?

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/D...l3_veqGvhThhpD5Nr29Efv7zPH9Azc-g=w708-h943-no

Edit: 11 Gb are free
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guest4711:
Nano g-apps is too big for a system partition having 1GB or less. Make shure your system partition is 1GB or more and use pico g-apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elma13:
Thanks, I figured it out myself as well.

I didn't make any change in the system partition, just installed the pico gapps.

If it's possible I suggest the OP to update the second post with the gapps with this information.

The phone seems much smoother than before.

Question: What is the "R" in status bar?

Is there a plan for oreo or android go?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guest4711:
Glad you've got it running.

"R" -> Roaming!? Please check your provider setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elma13:
Roaming was indeed enabled, but when I disable it I don't have internet (I checked my provider apn settings and I remember having that problem existed before) and the "R" remains as well as the "roaming", which appears above the time when I pin down the status bar with all the tiles.

Actually in the provider's site it is stated that I need to have the roaming enabled. Weird...

Thanks for letting me know, I have to contact them.
