I'm using this thread to share working pdroid patches I've got for various Galaxy Nexus roms. This was made using the patcher being developed here (patcher is in the 4th post). The patcher is currently linux-only, but will also work with cygwin in windows. I'm posting the finished flashable zip here as a convenience to anyone who can't use it themselves. Please note that I am not one of the people actively developing this patcher, just a willing tester who happens to own a toro Gnex.
If you don't know what Pdroid is, this is the thread for it on xda. Basically, it lets you deny permissions to apps on a per-permission basis, without risking apps crashing. Same basic idea as LBE privacy guard, but in my opinion executed better. Plus, open source is always a plus. Even though the official patcher there won't work for us yet, check the official thread. You'll need to download the app from the market and follow the same instructions, just using the zips I'll post here (or make your own).
I'll include a revert.zip for anything I post here, but please note that I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your phone. Make backups before flashing things. Try TWRP if you haven't, it's faster at backup/restore than CWR and does a bunch of other neat stuff like compressed backups and queued zip flashing. Also, in case of things breaking, please note that these revert zips are (1) only going to work if you are running the same rom used to create the zip and (2) just a slimmed down version of the rom's zip. What this means is that if you flash a pdroid zip and you need to revert, the surest thing to do is just re-flash your rom without wiping anything.
I'll try to update this thread as I get more patches working. Here's where my own experiments stand:
Link to my dropbox folder with files, notes below
Working patches:
-AOKP b39 (toro):
-AOKP b39 (maguro):
-CM9 Nightly: Patched build: 2012/06/19
--Note: Not sure if these will automatically fail with later nightlies or only when something relevant is updated in the rom. Feel free to try, just reflash your rom if it bootloops.
-Stock AOSP(+root, busybox): Patched build: 2012/06/02
-Paranoid Android v1.4a
Not Working (Yet):
-Liquidsmooth 1.5RC4:
-Slim ICS 4.0:
Unless otherwise noted, these are all for the toro (verizon) Galaxy Nexus. It's pretty quick and easy for me to make new patches so feel free to request something. But please be aware that sometimes it's a few days between when I can devote any time to this and don't be offended if I don't reply to you right away.
Just to reiterate, all you need to do for this is download the "Pdroid Patch Zip" file for your rom, flash it in recovery, and download Pdroid from Google Play.
Finally, be aware that the first boot after flashing can take a very long time, without any indication like the "Android is Upgrading..." screen. Don't assume it's bootlooping! Seriously, put the phone down and do something else for a bit. Anything in the tested section I've either personally flashed on my phone or someone else reported as working. If you're sure you're getting a bootloop on a clean install, my only advice is to do a full revert to stock and re-unlock/root/etc and see if it works then. Though rare, it is possible for something to be corrupt that persists across the usual "clean install" routine.
Isn't that what Permissions Denied does?

Wow, I didn't realise you could patch AOKP on ICS yet. Have been waiting for this for so long. How would I go about applying your patch for AOKP gsm?

For gsm you'd need a new patch. There are instructions in the first thread I linked to if you'd like to try it out. I might make one in a bit since I expect that to be a popular request and I expect it to work.

Same idea, different approach. Permissions denied generally causes apps to crash if they need info that they are denied. I also had a major issue with it a while back that I ended up doing a factory reset for, but I think that's been fixed since then.
Not sure how pdroid gets around apps fc'ing (maybe it spoofs data so apps go on running normally? It has an option to set your own values I haven't played with much), but it works very smoothly.

Quick update, I put up a maguro for AOKP, and I also updated the OP quite a bit since I last posted. Finally got around to testing the patches I made; getting better at reading the patching process as well to tell when a patch will work before flashing it, too.
At far as updates go, I don't really intend to follow the cm9 nightlies as I don't run them myself. I'll probably continue to try new versions of AOKP and paranoid android as they come out. I'll continue to try the roms that don't patch yet with new versions of the patcher as they are released.
Thank you. The maguro patch works for me.
Edit: not sure, but this likely breaks 2 apps: Listen, Drive.
I've been using LBE Privacy to control permissions and this app doesn't crash apps that have permissions blocked. It's one of their selling points, doesn't crash apps.

PDroid source has been released, whilst LBE created by a 'suspect' chinese company. I put the suspect in inverted comma's because nothing has actually been proven.
The patch works a treat on GSM aokp, many thanks
edit: looking at it though, it seems it doesn't find all the permissions correctly. I am assuming this is a limitation of the current pdroid as it is not designed for ics.
For instance it does not find hardware controls. Google Drive has access to hardware controls to take photos/videos.
Thanks for the confirmations on the maguro zip, I edited the post to reflect that it's definitely working.
I hadn't heard of LBE before making these threads but from what I've read it seems like people generally prefer pdroid. I'll check it out at some point but it looks like it does a bit more than I'd want it to, and pdroid being open source is definitely a plus.
IIRC, there's certain instances where apps can bypass LBE but not PDroid. I think reboot is one of those times due to when LBE loads.
I've been running LBE but lately the service keeps stopping because it doesn't get root soon enough after boot. Trying this now on Paranoid. Thanks!

I'm guessing you are running a different build/more recent nightly? I might take that link down as it was meant as more of a proof of concept if the cm9 patcher was working and it's unlikely anyone is going to be flashing that particular build just to test pdroid.
The most effective thing would be to just re-flash the original rom's zip, you don't need to wipe anything. The revert zip file is basically just four files copied from a given rom's original zip, services.jar, core.jar and framework.jar in /system/framework, and build.prop in /system.

I hadn't heard of pdroid until I was on the Nexus, so I'm not familiar with it to compare, but I'm currently using LBE and blocking its data connections with Droidwall. Perhaps a bit overkill... but works great as far as I can tell.

I think I flashed it to a nightly a day or two after 5-18 and it worked, but it definitely did not work on 5-27 or 5-29.
If the patch doesn't work for you, pull the battery, then hold volume up and down while you hold power, then use volume up and down to get to recovery option--press power to select. Either flash the revert or the old from there on top of the non-working one. Don't clear data partition and you won't lose anything.
@Joesyr, I think there is some interest in CM9 nightly patches...would you mind making a CM9 patch maybe once a week? I haven't had any luck making the patch on my own.

Well the last cm9 nightly I tried didn't patch at all (I believe it was a 5/29 build). I will try tinkering with things as I get the time but I'm not really at the level of fully understanding these kinds of failures yet.
Next time there's an updated cm9 patch I will try to get a working pdroid zip and I'll consider weekly updates. I'm also generally willing to make these on request as it's a pretty quick process. Fiddling with dropbox links is probably the longest part of any of this.
Any particular issue you're having with the patcher? I've been thinking I could write a little tutorial for getting cygwin up and running since I imagine that for most people the limiting factor is just that they don't have a linux environment to work in. But until I get the time to do that I can help troubleshoot.
Can you make a patch for stock root.
Thx
Has anybody experienced random rebooting? All was fine until I opened a non system app. Then it just started rebooting randomly after opening any app. I ran it on Maguro with AOKP b37.

Yup, not sure if the rom I just put up is the same you were looking for but it's the first one I've been able to get to patch correctly with the aosp patch.
Just flashed the Toro AOKP b37 patch, tested and working great here. Thank so much! Awesome work!!

JUST ANOTHER AOSP BUILD!
This is an AOSP Build of 4.0.3 I have made basically no changes as of right now. I have fixed tethering and market restore. I plan to add some useful modifications in the future.
Gapps-403_signed.zip
md5sum cf82c67056c31101cfed0f936cac29c1
Gorilla-toro_AOSP_v1.1.zip
md5sum 9ce8af2122bd743862c0aa6d49bed97d
Full wipe if coming from any other ROM. Especially if they have made framework changes.
Use my gapps if you want to make sure market restore works. These are the same as the latest that are floating around I just included google backup transport apk in mine.
Google Wallet - download the unmodified apk. Install as usual after full wipe. Seems to work, I haven't used it recently though.
Kernel - Stock for now.
Also I can't check any of the NFC stuff because I don't know anyone else with an NFC enabled phone.
Big thanks to everyone as usual, CM Team, RootzWiki, RootzBoat, Birdman, Pete of Bugless Beast fame, I looked at all of their vendor make files to figure out how to set those up.
Source Code: Google AOSP 4.0.3 Master Branch - my changes will uploaded tonight when I get off work to my github.
Post any issues that you notice. I don't expect many though since it is currently a pure AOSP build.
MD5 Sums are correct now.
Facebook Sync fixed, added reboot recovery menu.
Google wallet works. Do a fresh install of Google Wallet after wiping.
I am working on the camera panorama mode.
Reserved one more time
Post on Rootzwiki?
I shall later today. I want to get my source uploaded to my github. Otherwise I will get hear a lot of whining..as in source, source, source..... Just here for now. Upload there tonight or in the morning.
Thanks for this. I've been looking for a mostly-stock 4.0.3 ROM.
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Thank you!
My only reservation is that I really don't want to wipe my device as I've only recently got everything sorted the way I wanted it on my phone. Is there a quick and dirty way to unlock the tethering capabilities with ADB or Root Explorer? Or is that part of the framework that would have to be properly flashed with the installation of a new ROM like this one?
It is part of the Frameworks. It is built into the system. There is no quick and dirty way. You could do a titanium back up and restore everything after the flash. The changes are minimal and should not affect anything from another build. I suppose there could be problems if you restore from 4.02 to 4.03 but you can always Nandroid and try it if you like.
Going to post an update today. It will have working FB sync and a file manager built in from CM otherwise no changes.
do i install this with CWM? can someone tell me how to install this?
I'll be checking this one out soon, been waiting for an all stock 4.0.3
A couple quick questions:
Is it rooted?
Does it have busybox?
Is it deodexed?
On a side note, the md5sums you have listed, are the same for both files

I sure do. Tried to fix permissions to see if that would help to no avail.
Can you rent and watch movies from the market? Each rom I try, it seems either tethering is unlocked, or you can rent and watch movies. I would love a rom where I can do both.
I am now working on Panorama mode. Just found that it force closes, because I never use it. The current release has the Facebook fix, thanks to team kang, also I added in a reboot recovery menu. Otherwise it is stock with working tethering.
I will let you know when I see why panaorma isn't working.
Thanks. I don't use Panorama much, but it's nice to have the feature available.
I will post an update to fix the camera it is simply due to a couple of missing libs that I didn't add to the extract.sh script. I will also fix it and post the updated rom tonight. I am not sure about movies from the market. I think that has something to do with rooted devices and googles agreements with the copyright holders. Probably due to piracy concerns.
Let me know if you notice any other bugs. There really shouldn't be many since it is basically a pure AOSP build.

While you're fixing the panoramic camera, would you be able (and willing) to add back the original live wallpapers and ringtones? Or if not in the build itself, perhaps a separate flashable zip file that would add them back? I tried (and failed) to modify your ROM with these original files added back in and, of course, I only got a bootloop.
If you need the files, I can adb pull them for you and zip them up easily.
Thanks again for your awesome ROM.

Here is a 4.3 ROM built from AOSP source designed to emulate what a Verizon 4.3 ROM would be like. The changes from AOSP include the addition of GAPPS, addition of Verizon apps, appropriate binaries so everything works, addition of busybox, correct eri.xml, home screen layout to mimic a stock ROM, and the removal of the tethering restriction. The ROM is not pre-rooted, so flash Chainfire's SuperSU if you want root.
As usual, flash at your own risk and post any successes or problems.

My attempt was to make a stock rooted ROM for Verizon based off of the 4.1.1 source on AOSP. Some things are still added to this rom from 4.0.4 IMM76K Verizon ROM, but I did include the new binaries for toro. I haven't fully tested everything, but camera, google now, gps, and wifi all work as expected. I'll try to get some add-on's / mods before too long and have them posted as flashable .zips.

I'd recommend a full factory reset, but people can try what they feel comfortable with. Personally, I did a factory reset, wiped both caches, and then flashed the ROM (with TWRP).

Do you have any on your sdcard partition in the Ringtones folder? If not, I'd check \system\media\audio path (subfolders for ringtones, alarms, etc). Delete any duplicates you find in there. I don't have any duplicates and there aren't any in the rom.zip I uploaded.
just overwrote mms.apk in system/apps to get the custom pink mms, and got a quick reboot to my boot screen, this never happened on 4.1 roms that weren't source, don't know if this is normal because i replaced the app and it was a one time thing (i hope). as far as going to system/media/ringtones, i see them but there arent any doubles, however theres doubles when i go to select a ringtone from the menu, for everything system related, ringtones and notifications.
What issues have people had? Any boot issues?
I replaced the "stock" keypress ogg files from ics/jelly bean that sound better with this 4.1.1 release, the new key click sounds are horrible. works fine. i used to have t-cdma 64 with any build from 4.1.1 there is a fix that works that ill just apply. its a xml file or something.

I picked up my brand new LG G2 on Friday and I've been hard at work to get CM10.1 booting on it ever since yesterday; but a few hours ago I got my first boot -> http://imgur.com/a/1sZz2
I'm using a few proprietary files that I'd like to not use in the future (more than just the Adreno blobs)
But I'm looking to get a team together to get this working 100%
I will post device and vendor source as soon as I get back from cleaning gutters at my dad's house
What works:
Literally nothing, Android won't boot unless you have the necessary EGL libraries, so I just threw those in because I knew it would boot, and nothing else just to get a bare-bones (but booting) ROM. You can navigate throughout UI fine though (it's very smooth believe it or not).
I'll also upload a proof-of-concept build for those willing to see what CM10.1 will look like on our G2s. I'm currently unable to flash a zip in TWRP recovery, so I have to boot into recovery, wipe data, boot into fastboot, flash a system.img and a boot.img and reboot
If I were any person who likes to ROM but will like to remain stock until there's a stable ROM, I'd add a random "#" to any empty line in the file /system/build.prop which will throw off the sha1sum checker when the recovery goes to install an OTA update (this will block all OTAs from ever installing, thus keeping the current boot image exploit viable and it won't be patched up as the OTA won't be able to install. (root is required)

Because our kernel, etc., are all set up for Android 4.2.2. Meaning, it is easier to get 4.2.2 running, and then move forward to get 10.2.
JackpotClavin: We already have a "few" devs prepping a device tree, though it still misses the proprietary blob references. You should take a look at them, all the device trees are on Github, under TeamLGOG.

I have grown accustomed to it and don't know if I could do without it (my device sits in a vehicle dock a lot of the time where the buttons on the back are 100% inaccessible unless I disconnect the charger, remove phone from dock/holder and find the buttons on the back.)
Is KnockON a Snapdragon 800 feature, or an LG UI feature (I think so, as it doesn't seem to work except in the notif bar, the stock browser, and the stock lock screen)? Can it be added to the AOSP/CM code perhaps?

LG UI feature. I'm fairly sure it will be ported to an AOSP/CM10/LGUI hybrid ROM at some point. I believe part of the issue that devs are running into is that a lot of the custom LG software appears to be tied together.
Can you guys keep us updated on your progress, this is a make or break thing for me with this phone, CM is just so much better than any stock ROM that I don't know if I can deal with a phone that has no prospect of official support.

Howdy folks
I'd like to thank:
Dan Rosenberg (djrbliss) for Loki (the exploit that allows for custom boot images)
Dees_Troy (for TWRP)
Everybody who has contributed to the CyanogenMod Project
xiaolu for github tools used for unpacking and repacking boot images
I picked up my brand new LG G2 on Friday and I've been hard at work to get CM10.1 booting on it ever since yesterday; but a few hours ago I got my first boot -> http://imgur.com/a/1sZz2
I'm using a few proprietary files that I'd like to not use in the future (more than just the Adreno blobs)
But I'm looking to get a team together to get this working 100%
I will post device and vendor source as soon as I get back from cleaning gutters at my dad's house
What works:
Literally nothing, Android won't boot unless you have the necessary EGL libraries, so I just threw those in because I knew it would boot, and nothing else just to get a bare-bones (but booting) ROM. You can navigate throughout UI fine though (it's very smooth believe it or not).
I'll also upload a proof-of-concept build for those willing to see what CM10.1 will look like on our G2s. I'm currently unable to flash a zip in TWRP recovery, so I have to boot into recovery, wipe data, boot into fastboot, flash a system.img and a boot.img and reboot
If I were any person who likes to ROM but will like to remain stock until there's a stable ROM, I'd add a random "#" to any empty line in the file /system/build.prop which will throw off the sha1sum checker when the recovery goes to install an OTA update (this will block all OTAs from ever installing, thus keeping the current boot image exploit viable and it won't be patched up as the OTA won't be able to install. (root is required)
Edit: device and vendor sources are up!

First is audio. It's proving to be a big problem. I can't get anything working using either prebuilt binaries from stock, or building from source

I am NOT a developer, but this could help perhaps?
http://opensource.wolfsonmicro.com/content/wm5110-linux-driver-released
Not sure if it really is open source or only available as binaries, but the WM5110 is the audio SoC in this phone... I am probably not helping.
Additionally, I think the S4 uses this SoC as well. It's a pretty new part but is gaining a lot of momentum.
Edit: My god that WM5110 is a hell of a part... quad-core, 600 MIPS... dayum!
Glad to hear an update, even if it's about issues. Seeing that there are people actively working on this to make it happen makes me much happier and less worried about keeping this phone vs. returning it tomorrow or Friday to see how the Nexus 5 plays out etc.
Have any of you tried talking to Ricardo Cerqueira? He is in fact the primary maintainer for all LG Devices with regards to Cyanogenmod. I am sure he is planning on supporting this device in the near future, I just don't know when. It will probably be when the device is more readily available since it was pretty much just released.
Many people who have bought phones from the US and are using them outside of US, are having problems with connecting to the Wifi. For me it started to happen on OGP after Jan 21, 2014 CM11 nightlies.
A workaround was to check anyone of the countries in the settings>wifi>advanced> Region codes. Problem was that this region code would not persist after a reboot and you would have to go through the settings again.
The reason for this problem is the change in code in the MccTables in system>framework> telephony-common.jar which queries the SIM for the locale and since the locale codes in the SIM do not match the Wifi codes in the MccTables, the region does not persist as a permanent entry.
All credits to the dev who figured this out in the HTC sensation Forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368501
The method that this dev has posted is based on adding a line in the MccTables which skips the locale checking from the SIM during startup and so the Wifi is able to scan the available networks and connect to the desired one.
The telephony-common.jar is slightly different in different custom roms, therefore we need to patch this file for the individual Roms.
Attached below are the zip files which can be flashed in recovery right after flashing the rom if on a new installation or can be flashed at any time on an older installation in which case after reboot it stops for a while at android is upgrading and then boots normally into the rom.
March 19,2014
Added new Version for newer CM11 nightlies
Note: A wiki page on this problem also provides a lot of insight into this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/WiFi_regional_problem_on_Android#CyanogenMod_based_ROM
Note: The CM11 patched file works on the Mokkee nightlies as well.
March 25 Note: Added zip for new versions of Commotio Rom
Hope this helps the poor sods like me who have been stuck with this problem for a while now.
A word of caution. Make a Nandroid and flash at your own risk

The flashing zip package that I used is an old vr theme package. It just says that its theming when actually it is replacing the required file in the system>framework.
The rationale for using this workaround is that if we keep flashing the old kernel we would miss out on all the new changes that are incorporated in every build.
You don't want to be left happy with an old kernel on a spanking new build.

Why don't you unzip the file and see what's inside?
Anyways you can re-download the files.I have deleted the lines in the updater-script that said stuff about theming.

Hey it isn't that bad. We flash the rom, gapps, sometimes supersu, so flashing another zip is not going to mess up your whole day.
The reality is that any workaround this problem would involve some work. You can't complain at a simple process which rids you of a problem which cannot be solved in any other way and gets you to enjoy the finest and brightest of latest kernel/rom development.
BTW the only other way to get out of this mess is to go to the US and get an AT&T connection.LOL

Not all phones have this problem and also a lot of custom rom devs apply this patch directly in their roms.
I have an S3, S4, HTC One, Note 2, S2 Skyrocket, Nexus4 and none of them have this problem. Even on OGP this problem started from CM11 Jan 22, 2014 build. The Jan 21st build flashes without this issue.
Flashable zip added for new Commotio Rom Nightlies
Any chance to apply the patch to a stock rooted rom?
Thanks

I was able to use https://github.com/anestisb/android-prepare-vendor to prepare the vendor images to correctly build AOSP.
I submitted some changes to make it work with Pixel2-XL and they have been merged into main branch.
You have to wipe everything.
I dont know how to make proper zip images for TWRP so use fastboot
I use the fastboot script included in the zip after a full wipe and im all good

I've been doing my best to get my own build running for a few weeks now, and while everything else seems to work perfectly, I can't seem to figure out a way to get it to connect to mobile data. I'd be really interested to hear if there's something in addition to the build instructions provided by Google that you had to do to get it working!
I would just use your build, but my goal is to avoid gapps altogether. Hopefully the trick isn't to have gapps installed
Thanks!

u did add in the propietary drivers i assume before u started making ur build?
this build is running smooth! i almost wanna say u couldve left gapps out n let ppl choose which they want to use but of cpurse this is only the beginning.. first thing i did was remove all those google hotword apks that fc, not had any issues yet and u already stated squeeze isnt on here but i nvr used that anyways
I was building from source today but my env has a ways to go before its useable.. it literally took all day to make aosp arm64 eng lol.. started gettin low mem stops towards the end so gonna look at it tom... i actually need to change it up and tweak settings cuz i only got 6gb ram
my set up tho is ur aosp, flash kernel 2.05 and magisk 15.1.. butter.. or shall i say vanilla??

Now, I'm relatively new to the rooting world of Android. Is AOSP essentially custom ROMs? I know this is sort of a "if you don't know, you likely shouldn't be messing with it." I just love tweaking my phone!
So far only the squeeze doesn't work? Should the less advance user hold off until it's been tested a bit? Regardless, thanks for distributing your work to everyone on here! I love this community. Being able to share in the glory that is altering literally almost every aspect of your phone's software.

for u id say hold off.. it works fine for me but it technically is a userdebug build.. AOSP =Android Open Source Project, Its basically Android built from Android source so typically devs can pull the source and make their own roms how they want them. Normally doesnt even have google apps like play store for example.
Its a very clean low lvl android OS and the dev controls every aspect of the build process.. its also been called Vanilla
this technically is "custom" but this initial build doesnt have many tweaks or customizations.. its merely a glimpse as to the possibilities
but hey, try it out if u got the itch, it wont hurt u lol plus the only real way to know the difference is to try it for yourself

Honestly, I'd normally listen and hold off. But since I have a day off I think I'm gonna attempt it just for the sake of learning!
As long as it has the Play Store so I can download the apps I want, I'm good. If I can get all the apps I need to than I'll be a happy camper.
Say later on it's decided I want to go to another AOSP rom, am I going to have to wipe again? If I can get all my apps, won't have to wipe my device every other week, and can get my modules installed I should be good to do some good old fashioned experimentation.
I am not a smart man, at times. I'm gonna try it out. I have a few hours before anyone else is awake. Might as well use that time (un)wisely.
Plus I believe these "vanilla" ROMs, being what they are, can be modded to an even greater extent than the already pretty modifiable "stock" Pixel ones. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
