Quick question of flashing mods - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Can I flash mods to a stock rooted rom or it has to be a custom rom?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

It depends entirely on the mod. Many will work just fine, some require a deodexed ROM, others modify something specific to a ROM.

Like for example the soft key mod to change the color of the soft keys can I flash that on stock rom?

Do a back up and then try and flash your mod.
Its the only way to learn.

Basically yeah everyone else has got the idea, as with any mod or whatever, just nandroid before flashing so you can go back

Stock with mods?

Am pretty new to flashing roms and mods. I've did the streak, captivate, s2 lte, and now just got the nexus.
Was wondering if I can just keep it stock and grab pieces of mods and flash em?
Thanks for any answers

Yes, you can use stock ROM, but you will have to get root access and unlock bootloader anyway. Also probably you will want to flash custom recovery which is very helpfull in cases when flashing some mods goes wrong.

So I can keep stock and just get mods then.... hard to choose with all the roms out there. Thanks for the response. Might just try a rom though cause this nexus starts to slow after after awhile

Mods can not be used on stock odexed ROM, you'll have to flash a Stock deodexed ROM, which isn't 100% factory stock. The ROM will be untouched other than deodexing the system files.
To install an OTA update, you must present the stock recovery on the galaxy

Yes, my bad. On SGS2 we had tons of mods/themes for stock-odexed ROMS. Thanks for correcting me.

Can I flash mods to the stock rooted from or do I have to flash a costom rom? Like soft key colorand themes
It all depends. A great deal are ROM dependent.

Many times you can flash stuff to the stock rom. It really depends on the mod in question.
Like for example the soft key mod to change the color of the soft keys can I flash that on stock rom?

[Kernel]Insecure/Rooted, Recovery-Flashable UCALH9[ADB][init.d][Custom Bootanimation]

Hey everyone,
This is a modified stock kernel based on AT&T UCALH9 and is ONLY compatible with stock-based ICS roms. I haven't seen this around so I decided to make it myself for all to use and assist in development. The root application of choice is Chainfire's SuperSU. Remember that the first boot takes longer than usual after you clear the cache.
Features:
•Insecure rooted kernel
•init.d script support
•ADB support
•Custom bootanimation.zip support
Instructions:
1.Download the recovery-flashable zip to your phone's SD card
2.Flash in recovery
3.Wipe cache and dalvik cache
4.Reboot and enjoy
Standard disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone. I have personally tested this on my own AT&T SGS3 and it works great for me.
Special thanks to NunHugger for his infinite wisdom in helping me figure out how to get custom boot animations working and letting me borrow his updater script. Also thanks to dsixda for the amazing Android Kitchen.

Kernel Source: http://opensource.samsung.com
Secondary ODIN Instructions
This is the modified kernel made flashable in ODIN ONLY. Do not flash this in recovery as it will not work. Flashing with ODIN will increase your flash counter so if you use it, make sure to use Triangle Away to set your counter back to zero. Flashing using Mobile ODIN will NOT increase your flash counter, however.

Awesome, thank you for putting this together! Seems like everyone here is using leaked jb builds, ports, etc. and no one is building on the latest ota ics update. At the moment I'm more interested in stability than trying out new stuff so I'm on rooted, debloated stock UCALH9.
I'll give this a whirl today, thanks again for working on it. :beer:

You're welcome! I haven't seen much LH9 work either so I figured it's a step in the right direction. After talking to Nun, he inspired me to eventually release my own rom, so you guys keep an eye out. I'm busy with the university, but more recently learning development. I want to push out something nice for you guys if I can get the time, no ETA.

Thanks again, it's working great. Thanks to this kernel I was able to get some of the V6 Supercharger settings to stick that wouldn't stick on re-boot before (except for those setting requiring a deodexed rom), as well as some performance enhancements and custom boot animation using Rom Toolbox that I couldn't get to work before.
Looking forward to trying out your rom. Cheers! :beer:

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there is any demand for a UCALH9 based ROM with Aroma installer so you can pick and choose what you want included, and that also includes this kernel. I may have something along those lines in the works.

Thanks for the kernel. I’m getting longer “deep sleep” now and Light Flow seems to be working better too.
A deodex, rooted LH9 rom would be nice. Not a user of Aroma installer.

I'm glad to hear that. Aroma is nice, but it takes a long time to get it set up to my liking (I don't like issues). I'm happy to announce that I am currently uploading a ROM based on UCALH9 with this kernel included. I've spent a lot of time on this to make it right. Expect new updates soon As I talk to themers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33584484#post33584484
Is there a rooted, stock kernel floating around anywhere, w/o a custom boot image?

drothenburger's thread in General has an unmodified UCALH9 kernel. I don't know if it's rooted. I have a stock boot animation in themes and apps that you can use with this kernel though to remedy the stock feel.

For whatever reason I was more reckless with my captivate and did not care, but I never even soft bricked it...however..just to be sure..I download the recovery flashable kernel, put it on my ext-sd card, boot into stock 3e recovery, and I can flash this?

You will need to flash this from a custom recovery rather than 3e. Cwm or twrp will work. You can flash the tar file from Odin though. It will increase your flash counter though. Easily remedied once you're rooted with triangle away. Note that this will not automatically root you. Use qcom toolkit for that

Resize navbar nexus 4

Hello all, for those who want to resize the navigation bar. the ZIP of galaxy nexus works perfectly.
FOR STOCK ROM AND ROOT

CM 10.1 Latest nightly did not work. Stuck in a boot loop. DO NOT TRY
I have the stock deodexed 4.2.1 and it works perfectly.
It can be done in paranoid Android natively.

A word of caution: this mod flashes a different SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk which can be highly specific to whatever ROM you're using. It will more than likely cause problems for a lot of people. Also, the original thread clearly states that the ROM needs to be deodexed, and the stock ROM is not. If you want to try it anyways (which I advise against), make a nandroid as you will almost definitely need it.
I'm using maddoggin rom which has nav bar resize built in... That roms nav bar mod works great!
codefireX has this built in. Best ROM available, in NY opinion.

So I was completely naive and trusted the thread and flashed it without reading the original thread, now im stuck in a bootloop, how to i get out of it? I didnt have a nandroid backup, please help!
Pretty down and power button to get in fastboot then go into recovery. Flash a ROM (on your phone) of your choice.
If you don't have any ROM, you can use fastboot to flash a ROM I think. I don't know how to do it but you can find tutorial with the search button. You will get your phone back.

[Q]Where to find deodexed att stock rom?

I'm looking for a working deodexed stock [email protected] Galaxy S 3 rom. I would like to use morphology, but the stock rom is odexed. I don't wish to use a custom rom because they only one I like is buggy for me. Any Ideas?

A deodexed Rom that is not a custom ROM. I'm confused.
I think you are looking for something like this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161667
or this one:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38127313/d2att_I747-UCDLK3-signed_12-05-12_JB.zip
but it needs some time to finish uploading.
I guess ehat i want is the stock att rom to be deodexed or a way to deodex it myself. I want to use Morphology but wish to keep most if not all of the stock functions of the phone.
