We need to make a change to the Sprint Galaxy Nexus and give us full AOSP. Sprint has refused to give up the drivers for the Galaxy Nexus, making it impossible for AOSP to be able to do anything with it. This leaves a ton of users, modders, rommers, hackers, and tweakers pretty angry, considering that good, stable builds of ROMs are hard to create without drivers for their devices. Driver codes should be released as Verizon and GSM did when Jelly Bean 4.1.1 was released. Make a change along with me.....thank you for your support! we can make a change!

I signed, but...
The writing is pretty bad. It's going to be hard to be taken seriously with a letter like that. Just saying...
I don't know why people are getting so excited about this now, it's nothing new. Toroplus not being AOSP supported was something we all knew (or should've) when we bought the phone.

Come on guys post this everywhere!! i saw the ATT 4.1.1 already on the forum last night and i was like were is the sprint one? now i know why and its absolute crap that sprint is being like this i was almost proud of them today for fighting the ban on the galaxy nexus with apple and now this crap?
Where else would you like me to post it Chyrio.
The gsm/vzw users should back this what happens when they decide they (vzw) don't support your device as a nexus device? It's in everyone's interest to send the carriers a message and just hundreds of signatures wouldn't make them bat an eye. Broadcast it on the social networks, I'm tweeting now.

@marcusva79 really????? you are more concerned about the spelling and whats capitalized or not more than the petition itself? then the main purpose, sprint releasing AOSP to the Gnex...you really have nothing better to do than proof read and criticize when all I'm doing is trying to support Toroplus....and saying that there would more people would of signed this partition if it had proper spelling? BULL****! people will sign because of AOSP support not because I freaking didn't spell some words correctly..so stop being a douche bag and actually support this petition than criticize
On another note thank you for everyone for signing and posting it on your social networks!
and i do apologize for the the poor grammar where it made this petition unprofessional....for those people that overlook at my grammar and looked at the real problem that needs to be addressed and resolved, thank you for your support to make a change!

Hey put that flame out!
If no one is working on it, I'll look into building it for the GalNex, though I'm by no means an expert... Just saying, I will if no one else is, someone's gotta do it!
If someone is working on it, fine, I'm not asking for an ETA!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I believe someone is working on it. I also believe it will take some time until a public stable release seeing how it worked at the moment.
im sure there is, devs arent allowed 'coming soon' threads on xda. also even if they did post and have updates to their progress it would be 1 page of information and 50 pages of noobs asking when can they download a 'stable perfect battery use' version that has no bugs at all. so basically it comes down to, waiting or learning on your own and being the one to 'bring it to the group'.

So there is a group or team that develops the rom(aokp, cm10), and when they put new builds out individuals pick then up and do the writing necessary to run a partocular device?

there's no "groups or teams" we BUILD CM10\AOKP\PA all from source i work on Base rom's which is CM9\CM10\AOSP when the CM* rom's get stable enough i pass them to maxwen and he finishes them off, which gives me free time to de-stress and spend time with girlfriend and work on other projects.
for CDMA JMZtaylor builds the Base rom's which are CM9\CM10
we work together......seeing threads like this drives me up the wall

Dude,
XDA is NOT a support site of any kind.
It is a forum for developers, yes it has grown massivley over the years, but in general most folks on here are at least kinda techie, geeky, or both. There are also many users who just want to download cool stuff. There is nothing wrong with that but devs get annoyed when "users" don't want to take the time to learn forum rules, read, or do a bit of research.
Every dev on here is a volunteer, they do what they do because they enjoy it, and like being involved in a community of like minded folk who know the devices we spend our cold hard cash on are usually capable of much more than manufacturers like to release. Yes, there are "teams" large and small but they do not get paid for this, work under deadlines, or are expected to provide any support.
I don't mean to sound too cold, but with a little reading and research you could have found out all you needed to know about the CM team, AOKP, etc AND read in Lior's dev thread that his build is UNOFFICIAL meaning not an officially supported device by the actual aokp team. Even if it were an officially supported device that would not mean timetables, support, or warranty. Seriously, do a little research.
And understand, when you joined in August what number were you? Did you watch the "you are a noob" video, I made my son watch that when he joined. There are LOTS of new people here who demand, are rude etc. I am not saying that you are necasarily one of them, but when each device can count the number of devs on two hands or less, compared to the number of registered XDA users and you can see how a dev like Lior could get upset at your lack of wanting to read.
In the future, until you have contributed to this forum please refrain from even using sarcasm with a respected dev. Read, learn, and I hope you enjoy XDA, but remeber it is a developer forum, not a noob support site.
Regards.
Edit: ahhhh, just realized I kept typing Lior, and not Lloir, my apologies Dude.

He should have just added some credits. His roms were better than those he "borrowed" from. He also updated far more frequently and was always responding to questions.

Im not against the rules or anything else Im sure they are helpful for the bigger picture.:cyclops: I am however stating its ironic that he did better with there stuff than they did. IMO when a dev does that its usually buggy or simply not as good , his roms were always up to date and he had stuff out much quicker than others.
At the end of the day everyone here is modding someone elses work to begin with so getting banned for using a modification to an open source or Samsung based software is just weird to me.
Isnt that why theres two dev forums to begin with ?
Just so that we are all clear on this subject. He is not Banned.
Like someone above said, he still has a ROM in one of the Note sections (can't remember if NI or NII atm). I am one of the Mods over those sections as well so I have seen his threads and activity.
Now I don't know what exactly went down and why the thread was locked and even if I did, I'm not sure I can speak freely. I was called away on a family emergency that weekend and when I got back it was locked and the other thread about this was in full swing. It seemed like a kang job, but as I said, I do not know the particulars. I am only posting in this thread to let you know that he was not banned and chose to host his S3 ROM elsewhere.
Please don't make this thread into a pissing contest about who's was better and random speculation about what happened. Plus, if he is not here to defend himself, he shouldn't be attacked (not saying that any of the ones that posted attacked him in any way *more for future posters, if this thread stays open).

Seems like you're arguing semantics. Only thing I see wrong is not giving credit. (ill surrender the end point that it's xdas way of managing things and that's fine.)
However you and everyone else are working off Google and to a lesser extent Samsungs work to begin with he only borrowed what you tweaked in someone else's code to begin with ;don't know why devs feel they should have special treatment. Having followed android *devs* since the early G1 days I find the current state rather egotistical and counter productive at times.
Again I say... I understand about not giving credit but alluding to him being a thief is ironic considering what is actually being done.
You say I have no idea, that's fine perhaps I don't . But proclaiming thievery with exclamation points doesn't exactly educate or inform anyone of anything let alone show that I'm in the dark on the matter.

Credit is the least he can ask. Do you know or even have an idea how long it takes to make a rom? De compiling recompiling apks tweaking smali. **** I tried to theme a couple pngs and 15 toggles and it took me a couple days just reading to figure out what to do! They have to edit a lot of files. It's long tedious work and they do it all for free!!
Regardless if it was based off Google code. They edited and made it unique. It is now theirs. For example for school you have to write a paper about Lincoln. You research about Lincoln and final write your paper. What your saying is that the paper you wrote is not yours because you pretty much just reworded facts you read online. (provided you didn't copy paste) the paper is now your own paper that you can claim rights too.

Howdy all! I been running Chameleon OS on my Galaxy Nexus and my One S for a long time now and have yet to see a thread for it here, maybe the ChaOS team needs a maintainer for it? It is a great AOSP ROM with MIUI like theme enigine, really neat. Maybe someone with skills a little beyond porting can contact them and see about taking over for the Galaxy Nexus and get it posted? I think you all will really like this ROM it is still very young but they have true nightly's so it gets better and better every day! :good: (I hope it is ok I posted this here, if not oh well this ROM needs more love!)

I'd like to start a Bounty/Pledge. I hope this is the best place to post this since it is development related. I'd like to attract the best minds in fixing this issue. As you probably know, the GNex is plagued with graphical issues making KitKat not work very good to say the least. Most things work but random reboots and blacked out screens apps like Google Now make it very difficult to ignore. Google's low system requirement (512mbps ram) for KitKat means our phone should be able to handle this update...technically
I pledge to donate $20 for a fix and hope others follow suit. I will track the pledges and will set up the PayPal link on the OP if/when we have a person or team that fixes this issue. I've participated on other similar threads with good success rate in the past and think we have enough users to do again.
If 50 people pledge $20 , we'll have $1000 to donate to the dev(s).
Pledge what you want, no amount is to small.

I'm sure the KK threads would give it away, but I don't want to miss anything. I love 4.4 on toro, even with the current issues.
