I actually have -63 MB of free cache, which is strange i guess. For RAM usage you're right, but at the moment apps are getting killed while using them because of not having enough RAM and the situation can become even worse with background tasks.

I'm still using the 10 april build so it may be already fixed, but I get a SELinux issue:

avc: denied { find } for service=netd pid=25404 uid=1000 scontext=u:r:system_app:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:netd_service:s0 tclass=service_manager permissive=0

Also there are a lot of linker errors:

readlink("proc/self/fd/*") failed: Permission denied [fd=*]

where * is a two digit number.

See the attacched catlog for other errors.

[Q] Hey there, I really love my Gnex but atm my phone is really slow. Do you guys have any insider trick to improve the performance amd stability of our Gnex? Would be nice if you could share them with us. Btw I heard the F2FS file system should improve the performance, has somebody experience with this file system or does it just make the system unstable?

Greetings, Nils :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabrielex:
Not sure if the build I'm using has ADB root. On CM it was super easy to see and setup since it was on the options, anyway root checker pro says the device is not rooted,

don't know if it takes in consideration also ADB root or just the standard one.

7.1.2 build

how much stable is the latest 7.1.2 build? i want to flash :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
Android 7 works, but is not what I'd call stable. I need to restart often. Android 6 is stable, so I suggest using Unlegacy 6 or Lineage 13 or Slim 6. To improve performance, don't install so many apps which hog RAM, or use Greenify to sleep them! :)

Dunnot if is my phone but after update (without wipe) to ua_tuna-6.0.1-20170417050709.zip the battery icon stays with charge symbol even after unplugged the usb cable.

On the first hours it worked so maybe is just some dirt gone inside the connector, I'll try cleaning without battery.

UPDATE:

Ok cleaned with a little piece of cotton soaked a bit in alcohol and removed the cotton waste with a pin, now it works.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDraiken:
I'm a bit of a noobie here and probably did something very stupid, but I'm a bit lost at the moment, so I'd love some help.

I had a VERY old CyanogenMod installed (11 I think) and decided to try this ROM.

Opened bootloader, performed a factory reset, wiped cache and all that, then installed the ua_tuna-7.1.1-20170125.zip

Installation apparently went fine. No visible errors (AFAIK).

Then I tried installing open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170419.zip but got an error about storage space.

I thought, oh well, let's see what it looks like without gapps and I can re-do it if I want later on anyway.

Unfortunately, now the device is stuck on the "android" loading screen.

I can access the bootloader and all that, but I don't know how to find/fix the issue. Could someone point me on the right direction at least?

I'm on linux, btw, so most of the windows tutorials I find are useless to me :/

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runekock:
[MENTION=8223298]TheDraiken[/MENTION]

That version didn't have the seLinux fixes needed to boot. Most people find version 6 more stable anyway. I'll write some off-topic guidance as a PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
I think the short answer here is: turn the phone off, then hold down all the buttons to enter recovery mode, then flash fresh and do a factory reset. I'd download LineageOS 13 ( https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-02-11-t3312784 ), OpenGapps for Android 6.0 ( http://opengapps.org/ ), and the latest TWRP ( https://twrp.me/Devices/ ). You can use ADB to push files to the phone, or just flash a working ROM you've already got on the phone, and then download the files with the phone itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwalter:
Most of the tutorials should be using ADB. You just need to get ADB set up on your Linux machine (there should be tutorials for that) and then you should be able to follow the tutorials that use ADB commands from command line.

Not sure which version of TWRP you have, but from fastboot you can always launch the latest from you machine if the one you have is too old. If you don't have another ROM on your phone, you can use ADB push as suggested, or you can ADB sideload (which will allow you to flash without first pushing the ROM to your phone.)

FYI, I tried SLIM 6 recently and it seemed pretty decent. I also got a very recent unlegacy 7.1.2 build running (grabbed whatever was newest on the build server at the time.) I did use lanchon-repit to increase my system partition to 1GB and then used Open Gapps aroma installer to install the gapps I wanted. The only issue I've noticed is GBoard FC's when I try to go to settings.

FYI, the sequence is:

"Flash" Repit script (modify the name with the parameters you want to resize system, if you don't resize data (which the default name does not) I don't think it can resize system

Flash latest UL 7.1.2 ROM (but don't boot it yet)

"Flash" the Repit script (I'd done this before flashing the ROM but the ROM seems to resize the system partition) this time telling it not to touch data.

Flash GApps

I just had to skip the setup wizard (the trick is to touch each of the corners to close it when it comes up, not sure if order matters, but I did top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left and it may take a couple attempts) otherwise it gets stuck in a force-close loop, but otherwise it seemed to go "smoothly."

I think SLIM6 is less laggy, though I had less gapps installed when I tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
REPIT will resize /system by default. No need to change the file name settings! :) And new ROMs for our device are supposed to be aware of the changed /system partition size, and leave it be. If for some reason flashing the ROM sets /system back to default size, just flash REPIT again right after, and then flash Gapps right after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwalter:
Default config is not to touch the /data partition, so how can it resize /system to 1GB if we don't resize /data to make room? /data only needs to be resized once though.

Unlegacy 7.1.2 definitely resized my /system so as I mentioned, I needed to "flash" REPIT again before installing Gapps. For that time I had it leave /data alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
The default partition order is: system, then cache, then data. Nobody involved with the script settings decision at the time could find any use for /cache, so we decided to simply expand /system into the space where /cache used to be. This way there is basically zero risk of anything going wrong, and we still get a very big size increase for /system. I expect we'll be able to fit new ROMs plus the "smallest" google apps package into this new /system size indefinitely! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
My addon.d script 00-resizesystem.sh simplifies this. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwalter:
Thanks, I guess I must have been confused by the ROM resizing system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fetznschaedl:
Hello!

Can someone tell me if one of these ROMs (4.4, 6.0 or 7.1) works with the official Samsung Docking Station EDD-D1F2? It's the one that uses the pogo pins.

Using LineageOS 13.0, the GNex is only charging and not puting out audio through the 3,5mm jack on the back of the dock. I'm wondering if the dock works with custom ROMs at all or only with stock android. I bought the dock used and am wondering if the problem might be the dock itself. If someone got this dock and could try it out, it would be very helpful!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miomaguro:
Wipe and do the flash again and use the pico gapps without rebooting in the between.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwalter:
I don't have the docking station, but I seem to recall the audio is routed from the phone to the dock via bluetooth. Maybe you need to make sure bluetooth is on and try to pair the phone with the dock? I believe stock ROMs do this automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fetznschaedl:
So I turned on bluetooth and can see the bluetooth adress of the dock, but I can't pair the two devices. I also don't see the option "Dock" in the settings menu that appears when docking while using a stock ROM. Anyway, thanks for the tip!

I too felt like 7.1.2 was hard on memory, but I thought maybe this was just my perception. I have not gone back and forth testing different versions to see for sure. But maybe we're not crazy! :) And maybe optimizing this takes much developer work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miomaguro:
I've notice two quirky behaviors with the MM version:

1. In the stock browser, I'm unable to copy/cut/paste from the address bar: as soon as I select the text, the bar suddenly disappears and no buttons can be seen. Has anyone else notice this?

2. The use of the screen recording feature is broken: I can only capture a screenshot, but if I try to record a video of the screen (using i.e. GravityBox of xposed), I only obtain a 3227 bytes file of garbage.

Any hints on these matters?

For reference, I just tested out the final CM for maguro, rooted with Magisk and MagiskHide enabled and it passes SafetyNet. Also tried unrooted and passes, so there must be something about UA that's tripping it. Maybe someone can try a current Lineage build as well?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Oh did ZeeLog not merge the root removal commit? That'd be why. Flashing my unSU zip should take care of it as well if you do want to go unrooted.

iSu is a new one on me; only for CM/LOS su binary.. interesting!

NUBE Question on installb

Hi Folks, I installed the aosp from this thread on my galaxy nexus and it worked fine, nougat 7.1 but then I went to G play and nothing would download, in fact trying to download anything off the net would crash the browser, so I read further that I would need the rec. nano 7.1 Gapp. I saw that I was supposed to install it before the first boot but I had already booted automatically (I guess b/c I am using the Nexus rootKit). My B/L is unlocked and I did make a BUp of the oe rom in a nandroid, but I am not rooted, I think, I never asked the rootkit to do it.

Short story, after flashing the Gapp 7.1 nano I got a error 70 and bootloop.

Tried again putting both aosp and gapp flash files in the queue, same thing.

Tried again re-flashing the aosp and then flashing the gapp before it could complete boot

Looped again

I went back to the original rom and everything I was trying to download came onto the phone in a big rush.

Went back and tried custom again and bootlooped

Quitting for tonight, I'm tired and the phone is very warm.

We both need to chill.

Am I even in the right place to be asking abt. this? Please steer me if I'm in the wrong.

Anyway, I hope I haven't broken the phone, and sure would like to get a clean modern rom with G play ability and maybe even sync ability to my google accounts, but that's not a priority.

I bought this phone used with the purpose of learning this new to me android

Thanks,

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
I think this has an easy fix! From TWRP, format /system and do a "factory reset". Find format in the advanced section. By wiping clean our past mistakes, we can start over fresh!

I suggest you use a 6.0 ROM and 6.0 Gapps because it's more stable. But if you do use 7.1.2, you must make sure you choose compatible Gapps as mentioned in previous pages of this thread, not opengapps yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vbanh:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runekock:
From what I can read, opengapps can now be used. I haven't tried it, but they say it was fixed from 18th of April.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] longbikez:

I'll get on both of your suggestions and then post. I'm glad I got this phone to mess with and that it is not my day to day phone. But I do have to admit that even with its old os it is a much nicer phone than my new greatcall galaxy ace. Greatcall is making a huge pile off noob seniors who are scared of smartphones, taking them to the cleaners IMO. What a shame. I got taken but now that I'm more familiar I can see just how cutthroat the market is. I'm glad I found XDA!

UPDATE

Success with 6.0 aosp tuna and Gapps 6.0.1 from vbanh suggestion. Only glitch was links on that xda page were dead so I had to go searching for a host.

I'm going to make a donation now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrFlashGame:
[MENTION=6767952]n_petr[/MENTION] Wow seems fine. I think you are really worried about bricking your device but don't worry if something goes wrong there is everytime a way to fix bootloops and stuff like that. But I would recommend you using UA 6.0 because the 7.1 versions are really new and have still a lot of bugs. If you just want to test and play around a little bit you will be good to go with 7.1.2 but 6.0 is way better for daily usage. You can download it under https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-6.0/tuna/.

I would also recommend you using a stable SuperSU. I'm fine with 2.79. You can get it from the official SuperSU thread. Everything else seems fine. And one more thing: If you choose 6.0 you can simply use open gapps. You can download them from opengapps.org. Enjoy flashing your device m8 :)

It would be good to enlarge the system partition by reducing the size of the cache partition.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Thank you for your hints. I was fighting a lot with 7.1.2 during the installation but before the downgrade to 6.0.1, finally I fixed it. I made an update directly to the how-to because the previous version didn't work. Here are the notes from the not functional process: With gapps-base-arm-7.1.2-20170420-1-signed.zip the OS booted but it could not be initialized - "first setup device wizard" crashed every time (maybe due to crashing of google play services). So, I tried open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20170429.zip and the OS booted and it was initialized well (few crashes of google play services again but no crashes of "first setup device wizard"). GPS and Camera both work. And my bluetooth bracelet paired with the phone well (with Android 4.3 it was not functional). Now the phone is rooted, smoother and faster than with JWR66Y. Thank you very much Unlegacy Android team for your work :good:!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
I think the part you were missing was the "wipe /system manually and do factory reset" -- some of the broken junk stays behind unless you do this!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konnarides:
Tried this Rom for two days, seemed to work great. However, battery life is halved and ram gets maxed out after a few hours. So I've gone back to zzpianoman's 6.0.1 rom, which in my humble opinion is the best daily driver for the gnex. Much more customizations and just more refined overall and ram never runs short always 300-400 free ram available.

Worth giving 7.1.2 a try, but it's no daily driver.... ???.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Did you try the UA 6.0?

My wife's Nexus runs 2 days with it... daily driver...

https://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-6.0/tuna/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bamtan2:
From memory, I think the basic steps for the first installation are: use the command line to unlock the bootloader (which wipes EVERYTHING on the phone) and flash TWRP for the first time. Then install both the ROM and the google apps at the same time (and optionally, supersu can be flashed anytime if it's not included in the ROM).

For updating to a new version of the same ROM, it's safest to flash both the ROM and the gapps again, and use the "wipe dalvik and cache" option in TWRP.

For updating to a different ROM, it's safest to use the a "factory reset" option in TWRP, which wipes the apps and the brain of the ROM, but keeps your /sdcard/ with your downloads and pictures, etc.

If anything goes wrong, due to the nature of this being a volunteer community, ANY part of the chain could be broken. It could be a code bug or incompatibility or broken build of any of this software. More recently, I've needed to "wipe" the /system partition manually when moving between ROMs.

The options I've mentioned above should be quickly found through the main screen of TWRP, whether "Install" or "Wipe" or "Advanced." There is also a root file browser included with TWRP so you can look around the file system to learn what's there.

The instructions you've made are incredibly detailed! :) I do think a lot of the documentation online for android devices is very out of date, not maintained, and it makes things harder for everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrFlashGame:
Yes I totally agree with you. I tried today to completly reset my phone to stock after I had a few issues with Magisk and Lanchon Repit. It was a total disaster because every How-To here on XDA about our Gnex wasn't working anymore and it's horrible to find the Gnex USB-drivers because they aren't anymore available on the official Samsung Website. We should really start to write documentations. That solves a lot of questions from new users (also if there are almost no new users).
