Hey guys, I've taken the GSM Galaxy Nexus beta and have ported it over to the CDMA/LTE version on Verizon Wireless for here in the states.
I can actually release this to say that I'm comfortable with it enough to use it as a daily driver. So here we go.

I'm not responsible if you break your phone, or your self esteem.
Make sure you wipe EVERYTHING. Including, Data, Cache, and Dalvik-Cache.
Fresh Install, let boot and enjoy.
A few important notes, the Download app found in the tools folder prevents you from downloading large apps through the market over the carrier network, simply go into the app settings to disable this if you don't want to connect to a wifi network.
As far as I can tell most everything is working correctly, however if you notice something amiss. Leave a note here.
Known Issues:
Gallary FC's
Fixed:
Wi-Fi Tether
Airplane mode FC's
GPS
Cheers guys!
I think I will give this a shot a little later. Trying out AOKP b30 right now but can't flash over in the middle of class. haha Looking forward to SOMEONE getting a solid MIUI build for the Gnex Thanks for the work!
Wow looks polished. I'd love to see a fully working MIUI rom that doesn't have all the weird freakouts or horrible battery drainage.
I'm afraid to flash because I get addicted to MIUI very easily and force myself to work through the bugs.
Do you plan on keeping this updated and actually trying to work out the bugs?

I usually release every Friday, unless life throws me a fastball.
The battery drain was super noticeable in the 2.3.30 build, but I think that it was related to an issue with the CM9 upstream that week. I've since have had acceptable battery life this week.
While it's not perfect I hope to polish it in the coming weeks. Now that Xiaomi is releasing beta builds for the Galaxy Nexus I can build more reliable roms instead of having to splice stuff up for the Nexus S beta. I think most issues should resolve themselves in the coming weeks.
Most MIUI roms I've used in the past (and on other devices) seem they come out with a semi-working rom with a few little bugs, but the dev only updates the MIUI code and never works on fixing the known problems. So after several MIUI version bumps, the bugs just keep piling on until it isn't even worthwhile anymore.
+1 for MIUI officially supporting the GN.
MIUI is super awesome. I'm in love with the dialer, messaging, and music app. The theme support is nice too.

I totally understand that. If it's something that's LTE/CDMA galaxy nexus specific I'm going to do anything and everything with in my power to remedy those bugs.
Until Xiaomi fully releases their source code (I think they're planning on doing that sometime this year) I'm left debugging in dalvik byte code land, which can is not for the faint of heart.
I'm glad that this is coming from an official beta. Rather than having to take on the task single handed, there is a whole team in China perfecting the experience for this very hardware.
nice!! thanks!
hope this works since the server is as slow as a snail...46kbps?!?!?!?! my internet is like 40mbps...why?!??!
EDIT: is this the same as the one on the MIUI.us website?

My mirror is throttled, sorry.
This is the same rom found on miuiandroid.com
Thank you!! I've been running 2.3.23 and I've fallen in love with it, despite the few bugs I've come across. Definitely my daily driver until I get AOKP fever again.
Flashing now. I look forward to the support and use the camcorder all the time so hopefully that's taken care of soon
Thanks again
Does this version of MIUI support themes. The last time I had installing themes made it not work.
I loved MIUI on my fascinate and was waiting for it on the GN. The problem with the other versions was it seemed like the images and UI resolution wasn't playing nice with the phones screen. It didn't seem sharp more like it was blurry. Also 5 x 5 home screens didn't look right.
I really like the themeing MIUI so I'll give this a try tonight after I make my back up and don't need my phone.

Edit: Google Play FC's :-(
Edit 2: Works after clearing data. Went into xda app to edit this and that forced closed. Opened right after that though.
Tethering isn't working for me. It worked fine on a 2.3.xx version. It seems to turn on wifi but nothing can connect to it and the symbol doesn't show up in the status bar. Theming is sporadic. Neither my status bar, including the pull down menu and toggles nor phone, nor sms theme and it doesn't list local themes even though it has the "Downloaded" banner in the online section. It doesn't set fonts. I've tried several and rebooted several times.
The biggest thing for me however is the nav bar. I do not like the controls at all... I'd much prefer if they were ICS or customizable or even capable of being disabled. I also loved the old miui search opposed to the Google. A choice there would be awesome too.
While I'm here, any chance I could get help setting the language to Japanese instead of English or Chinese?
Thanks a mil for all of your time and hard work.

For the most part, yes. I've noticed so far that status bar, phone and font doesn't take. Confirmed SMS, home, lock, icons, and boot animations. Really hard to notice unless you're coming straight from another miui.
Edit: SMS theme is not working. Not sure if it was working when I wrote my reply or if I was mistaken but its not working now.

How is everybody's battery life on this rom? I couldn't even get 6 hours on the other miui roms for some reason and that was with little to no use. Any ideas??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Wow this is my first time using MIUI and damn it's beautiful. I have heard great things about it. It's really a unique, interesting experience and has some great features. Google could learn a few things. I especially love how the notifications and sms work and how much more control you have over the notification led without a third party application. The lockscreen music player integration and control is extremely awesome as well. Installing imoseyon's lean kernel seemed to help smooth things out a bit too. Thanks for all the hard work porting it and keep up the great work on it.
Also tethering worked fine for me.
What's the different between this and the other miui rom from miui.us?
Status bar not only ignores themes but doesn't keep notifications while ob the home screens. It just has Verizon Wireless on the left. I don't know I missed a call unless I see it on my lockscreen or dock icon.

Would love to use this, but as with the last release, when I go to downloads it try's to download "Dictionary Update Information" over and over again, eventually resulting in thousands of failed downloads and causing my phone to get very hot. Tried wiping and installing a couple different times with no success.

This is caused by the Downloads app that defaults under a tools folder in the home screen
You can prevent it from happening by doing the following
In the Home Launcher screen by default there should be a folder called tools. Within the tools folder (or wherever you may have put it now) there is an app called Downloads.
After entering the App, go ahead and hit the menu button and select "Settings"
Now when you are finally here you have the option to turn off monitoring by deselecting "Data download prompt", or you can set a different value if you want it to control large file downloads if you are on a limited data plan.
9-2-12: I should be wrapping up today, as I'm going away for a few days as well. For the most part I'm pretty happy with the build, but there's still a few loose ends that I won't be able to fully finish. But then I don't think I could ever be 100% satisfied with a build, nature of perfectionists. Anyways, stay tuned, I'm outtie 8pm tonight. So one way or another something WILL be posted by then.
General Warning: I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. I'm providing these ROM's on an "as is basis". There is no warranty implied or otherwise. But know that I would never release a ROM without first testing it on my own device.
( Please take a minute to browse through the "Troubleshooting tips / General Q&A" section below before voicing a concern or inquiring about features. )
What's included you ask? My builds are all based on nightly builds, but with that I've also included the following:
I've included a fully customized HoloLauncher to match the overall theme of my ROM. Note regarding Hololauncher.... if after updating you want my icons and not the default hololauncher icons, under "Launcher Settings" choose "Appearance Settings", under icon pack, select "None"... And yes the Trebuchet launcher is still there, but I've left it as a fall back in the event of catastrophe. There's nothing worse than a failed update breaking your launcher and locking you out of your phone.
The V6 Supercharger is always available as a system installed service on my ROM. Simply run su, then v6 in terminal emulator to get every ounce of zoom outta yur device... more notes below...
Don't go flashing a gapps package over one of my ROM's. I've already included a majority of the gapps package, and doing so breaks a few of the tweaks and mods I've built into the ROM.
Ever wonder why you need to see 4, 6, or more of the same widget. Well, you don't! Thanks to a modded "AppWidgetPicker" similar to the pictures here... Now you'll only see one of each of our widgets.... :laugh: Doesn't work with the Trebuchet launcher, but will with most other launchers.
I've included a YouTube player capable of 720p playback...
On top of the standard Apollo player, I've also included Google Play. Both of these apps are also fully capable of utilizing the integrated Beats Audio.
Car home is one of my favorite apps, and is included.
I've added an "Accurate" battery mod.
I've included a Taskmanager capable of dumping unused RAM.
Solid Explorer is included. Its free, Root capable, and is downright beautiful.
Jelly Bean fonts...
Added a clock package that leaves little to be desired. ie. timers, stopwatch, etc...
Added automatic cache flushing to my update script. No more need to flush your cache following your flash. There's also some other bits in there to check partitions, and if need be, repair them.
Added automatic permissions corrections following update.
Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio is flashed during install.
I've included a Modified version of AwesomeBeats, originally by ...Awesome... ( Themed the apk with the original DSP icon )
Most of the gapps-ics-20120429-signed package has been installed, modded of course.
I've added my huge audio collection, tons of ringtones....
Added a custom hosts file that blocks everything....
I've themed just about every app, as well as the framework... ( Tastefully done, I think... )
I've also integrated some of the V6 mods, and I've also pre-modded the services.jar. The following commands are available right out of the box, flush, sclean, and V6. To use simply open Terminal Emulator, type su and hit enter, then type V6 and hit enter. Your off and running.
The latest modded Google market, has also been included. ( I only added a themed icon, the mod was done in the thread I've linked )
Modified Phone Dial Pad.... Because I'm Tired of big ugly ass blue keys...
My Torch app...
I'm sure I'm forgetting other edits I've made, but those are the most notable.
This file has been signed, and is flashable via the recovery of your choosing. If you're coming from a nightly build, you should be able to flash this over your existing ROM without error. That being the case, be sure to wipe Cache and Dalvik. But to guarantee a smooth running system I would recommend a factory reset, manually clearing your cache & dalvik, plus wiping sd-ext. note.... In my latest builds, as of 7/24, this is all done for you....
What should you do first? To get every little bit of performance and zoom out of your device, I'd suggest first opening Terminal Emulator, type in su (that's the letter s and the letter u ) then hit the enter key. Next type in v6 ( that's the letter v and the number 6 ), and again hit enter. Follow the prompts, and after all the automatic commands have run, type in 33 and hit enter. Once your back to a # promt, type in sclean and hit enter. This will dump your cache and restart your device. Lastly open RomManager, and run "Fix Permissions". Enjoy your speedy new ROM....
Another v6 command you should use is... "flush". If your device slows after a few days and you don't want to reboot, simply open terminal, type su, hit enter, then type flush, hit enter. When complete close terminal by clicking the x in the upper right, and that's it....
Check out my Torch mod, now in flashable form... =)
If you've got any questions or comments, let me know. And if you like my work, hit the thanks button.

Troubleshooting tips / General Q&A:
What's the deal with the Long Pause after the Samsung boot logo? There's no loading bar animation visible during boot. Its normally seen after the Samsung Boot Logo, and before the Bootanimation. For whatever reason, in the nightly builds, that loading bar has been left out. It causes no problems or errors. In fact everything loads so quickly I don't even think most people have noticed the missing animation.
Superuser Problems: If for any reason you have su errors, or Superuser.apk problems, please refer to my su tools thread. And when in doubt, there's absolutely nothing wrong with using the older Superuser 3.0.7 app, in fact I'd recommend it as the fail-safe option. "Build 6-9-12". Flash via the recovery of your choosing. ( The Superuser app has since been updated in the market. )
Buggy App's / FC issues / General Random Goofyness: If you didn't do a factory wipe / full wipe, and your phones running anything but smoothly, you need to reflash your ROM, and this time use the following procedure. Reboot into recovery,
Notes regarding DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE / DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE: Speaking from my own experience, these are two fantastic tools. They do their jobs well, and should definitely be used by those who would consider themselves "frequent flashers". BUT... be forewarned... If you use these tools as your "sole and primary means of system cleanup" you will experience boot errors!! What's that mean? Should I stop using DARKSIDES's tools? The short answer... No. But you should get into the habit of wiping your Cache and Dalvik following ANY and ALL system maintenance. Relying on the tools for this crucial step greatly increases your chances of experiencing bootloops and general no-boot conditions. I'm not sure if it relates to the manner in which partitions are wiped, or maybe the disk alignment procedure. But in my experience, not clearing my cache following the use of these tools leads to greater occurrences of boot failure.
Touchscreen Unresponsive: There's a known bug in CM9 where your touch screen may stop responding and prevent you from unlocking. If you come across this problem, press your palm to the screen and slide it around. In my own experience, this issue seems to arise only once or twice per ROM flash.
I want toggles... Why no flashlight toggle: This question, in one form or another, has been asked way to many times now. I don't know if people are afraid their going to break something by looking around, changing settings, or who knows what. So I'm going to give you a few must see features, you may or may not know of.
Features you may or may not know of:
By popular demand, Toggles: In your settings, under the heading "Interface" Select "System", then "Notification drawer", then "Widget Buttons". I always use the same five toggles. I don't like scrolling toggles, and my needs are pretty basic. My Toggles of choice are, Brightness, GPS, LED Flashlight, Orientation, and Wi-Fi. Then on that same page, at the bottom of the list are modes. Brightness I choose all, Network I choose the third option, Screen time outs I like long, sound I choose all, and Flash I choose normal. Then hit the back key once, and the last item on the page should be "Widget Button Order. In my case, I slide LED to the top and I'm set.
Capacitive Back Light Keys: I've never been a fan of the capacitive lights. There too bright, I already know where those keys are, they seem wasteful, they're always flashing in the middle of game play, and on and on. In the past enabling / disabling BLN required another app or a hack, in CM9 you'll find its editable via settings. In settings under the heading "Device" select "Advanced", then select the tab "Sensors". Here you'll find your devices system-wide BLN settings. I unselect both.
MTP vs. Mass_Storage: Both modes have there advantages and disadvantages, but at least now you get to choose and not your dev. In settings, under the heading "Device" select "Storage". On that very first page, using your phones touch keys, click the menu button ( the left most capacitive touch key ). This brings up two options, the first is "USB Computer Connection". This is where you can choose between three option, MTP, PTP, and Mass Storage. I find myself going between MTP and USB Storage. Only drawback is that MTP doesn't see files sometimes. And for those of you that are wondering about the "Storage Configuration" link, and subsequent "Use Internal Storage". Its probably not what you think. It actually swaps your Int and Ext storage, completely. Great as a fix-it tool, but if your running my ROM, your better off leaving this as is.
Awesome Beats vs. MusicFX: In settings, under the heading "Device" select "Sound". Select "Music Effects, and then choose whether to use MusiFX or Awesome Beats (aka. DSP Manager).
Notifications Bar to Settings in a Tap: Pull down your notification bar, just to the right of the date is a little icon, tap it for easy access to your settings menu. I use this pretty frequently as a shortcut when joining wireless networks.
Noise Suppression: Press the phone icon, with your dial-pad on screen, hit your menu button.
Look for the option "Noise suppression", put a check in the box.
To test you call quality, use "The Telcom Toolkit"..... Option 4 to record your call + playback....
Try it with suppression checked, and without. Pretty big difference. I'll be setting this option as default in my next ROM.
There's loads more I'm not mentioning. But what you should really do is go through your settings yourself, one by one. In fact, you'll even be killing two birds with one stone at that point. You'll learn your way around your device, and you'll be able to optimize your phone to your own choosing.Have fun, and happy flashing..... :good:

There's the standard "Power Bar", available in all CM9 builds, if that's what you're referring too. I prefer the widget buttons on the notification bar to anything else.My 5 must haves, Flashlight, Wi-Fi, GPS, Brightness, and Orientation. Other than that, the screenies are how I run, minimal and clean.

Yup. No different than any other CM ROM. ...
You made me think of something though... If your not familiar with the most recent nighlies, there's one thing that might throw folks. There's no loading bar visible while the boot image loads. ie.. Typically you see, Samsung logo.... Then blue left to right loading bar... Then Bootani.... In these builds that left to right blue loading bar has been left out....
Not a problem, just wait through the blackness, don't start pushing buttons in a panic...

Capacitive touch key's are 100% functional in these builds, ie. system integrated and working properly. Go through system settings, you'll find Back Light Notifications under "Advanced", and under the tab "Sensors".

Of course. If it were me, I'd wait until after a full boot, plus a little time to settle, then flash a new radio.

In my book its always nice to have a few choices, NovaLauncher is new to me, I added that for my own testing. Trebuchet, I've never really liked. And I almosted added HoloLauncher too, (( If you haven't tried HoloLauncher yet, its available via the Market. Definitely worthwhile... ))
I'll only have one or two in my next build. I'd love to revive LauncherPro. Best launcher ever in my book!
Can I get just the custom host file? And where to put it?

Hey, I thought I'd start a thread for this phone, I'm banking on them supporting it in a while.
I'm having the same troubles with the Nexus 4 (stock, CM 10.1 nightlies 11/28 and 11/29) that I have with my other older phones, a LG VM670 (Optimus V) with IHO CM 7.2, and a Samsung Exhibit II 4G used with both jocala's CM9 and stock Touchwiz Gingerbread.
The problem is that on a call, the proximity sensor does not turn off the backlight, only turns the screen black. On the Nexus 4, you can still see the buttons, for instance, but in all the others the backlight is also still on though the screen is blacked out. On an OLED phone, most of which they seem to officially support, this would save some battery, but on an LCD it doesn't do anything except for keeping your face from touching the onscreen interface. All other VoIP apps I use (Sipdroid, CSipSimple, Groove IP, Talkatone, etc.) that use the proximity sensor for this don't have a problem with the backlight.
I guess what I'm asking is for confirmation that this happens to others. I'm betting it does, but I've been told several times by support and by the rep on these forums that this is not intended behavior, but it should happen because my devices are not officially supported. I'm not so sure about that though anymore.
Feel free to post other observations about the app.
Hi,
This is Viber's rep.
We'd like to know if this issue is new? or did you always have it? Which Viber version do you have?
Have you tried using stock ROM? It might help....
Thanks,
Viber
Hi, if you're the same person, we've talked in the Galaxy Nexus thread. I've had it since I can remember, but I couldn't say for sure if an older version (older than 3 versions) did it. It's been months, and for sure the latest 2 versions had it. I'm using the latest version now on the three phones. Would you have an LCD phone in which you can quickly test?
I've used stock on the Nexus 4 and the Samsung Exhibit II 4G, but in the case of the Samsung I was told it might be cause the phone itself was not supported. There's at least a couple other people that's noticed this, but I think it's just not a very prominent problem, especially since there are a lot of OLED phones out there. If you follow the next few posts, you tell them there's a proximity sensor option in Viber, but I guess the newer versions don't have that. I'm using the latest version, 2.2.3.
Also, do you know if the issue of messages turning the screen on when it's off is going to be fixed soon? If you're using face unlock, the camera also turns on.
Thanks for the elaborate information.
Many problems concerning the issues you raised in your last post will hopefully be resolved in our upcoming update of Viber for Android (hopefully released soon).
We kindly ask that once available, you should install the new update and test these issues. If they remain, please do let me know here in this thread and we'll run a more intensive test to find the source of these problems.
Thank you in advance.
Hi, I updated today, and the proximity sensor problem still persists. The LCD backlight is not being turned off, the screen turns black. There is even an animation where the status bar and the onscreen navigation buttons hide up and downward respectively, while the screen turns black. I think all this time this is the intended behavior and not a bug.
Are there any plans to offer a true proximity sensor screen turn-off option, like the regular dialer and most other communications apps do?
Also, messages received still turn on the screen.
It seems this update was more focused on social features than other things.
@andy o -
Thanks for the report (we've also seen your post in the other thread).
This update actually contained many enhancements and bug fixes. The Proximity Sensor issue is being looked at right now. Meanwhile, we kindly ask that you take a minute and report the details of the problem to our support team using this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0
With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it
Thanks in advance
Viber is a great app! I'm only using it for texting, but it works really well! I just wish there were some themes... I hate that it is modeled exactly after the iPhone messaging app. :beer:

GUI updates are planned for the future, but we're still not sure when exactly.
Meanwhile, we invite you to enter our Feature Request page and post your suggestion there, or join an existing similar suggestion. The more people join on a request, the faster it will become reality
You can find it here: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php/Knowledgebase/Article/View/43/9/have-an-idea-for-a-new-feature
Yea make a jelly bean UI!
Don't know what's happening but viber on the nexus 4 hasn't worked well. First I think the voice quality is awful, don't know if the noise canceling is working. And I've tried it in other devices and it works beautifully. Also sometimes the app just stops working during a call.
Is it just me?
Using latest version.
Thanks

Hi @ctexpa -
This issue of bad quality audio quality on Nexus 4 has been reported to us by a few users in the past. We're currently looking into this issue.
We kindly ask that you take a minute and report the details of the problem to our support team using this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 (when you submit the ticket, please make sure to add the URL of our conversation). With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it.
Thanks in advance
If I may ask, what is the specific audio problem with the Nexus 4 that people are reporting? If it is distorted (clipped) audio, it's probably Android's inability to let apps control the mic gain combined with the Nexus 4's inherently high gain.
I myself can't say I'm having significant troubles with audio quality though besides that.
Good App
One of the first Apps I installed on Nexus 4, having previously used it on my HTC Desire. Found it works well, Sometimes get excessive lag and what sounds like an echo during voice calls. All I do is hang up and connect again, these calls going to Australia and Singapore (from UK) so normally a few milliseconds of delay on line. An excellent app which saves me a fortune on voice calls.
Screen turned on when a message received
Hate that receipt of message turn the screen on, and there is no option to disable that.
Proximity issue exists along with direct dial
Hi,
I am also facing the same issue with Nexus 4 of the backlight going black, but another thing I have noticed is that it is impossible to set a 'SHORTCUT' for any Viber contact on the home screen. When we select Viber in the Widgets, it returns back to the home screen.
I had the same issue with my HTC earlier. However, we can set individual shortcuts for other 3rd party apps like WhatsApp which take us directly to the chat of that contact.
I would request the Viber rep to look into this and request other to try this and confirm if it exists.
All,
- The disrupted sound issue is being looked into these days. We hope to have conclusions soon,
- There is an option inside Viber's "More" tab that should disable the lighting up of the screen upon incoming message. We have been reported from some users that it fails to work, and we're checking it at the moment. Whoever is experiencing this issue: we kindly ask that you take a minute and report the details of the problem to our support team using this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 (when you submit the ticket, please make sure to add the URL of our conversation). With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it.
Thanks in advance
- The shortcut issue: this is known to us, and we hope to resolve it in future updates, but unfortunately at the moment it is not of the highest priority in our development plans. This doesn't mean of course we'll neglect it, but only that we are still unsure when exactly we will attend to this feature.

I believe you were refering to "New message popup" which is a different thing. Anyway it is unchecked at my end, and the screen still turn on.
I have lodged a bug report, but your colleague explained that it is by design that the screen will be turned on when a message is received.
To me it is unnecessary. Native notification and most 3rd party messengers (e.g. Whatsapp) do not have this behavior or at least have it as an option.
Just because iPhone has this doesnt mean Android need it; most of the Android phones have a notification light.
Separately I have also lodged a feature request to have this set as an user option, whether to have the screen turn on.
Thanks for looking into user feedback in the forum =)
@zhuozhi211-
I understand your meaning now - I apologize for the confusion. We do have an option for unlocking the screen or keeping it unlocked, but it is true (as you said) that the screen always lights up. When it comes to other applications and services - some of them have similar behavior (even on Android), while others don't, as you mentioned.
We are looking into the addition of this option (have the screen lit up or not), and we hope to implement it in future updates. It is our pleasure (and duty) to be here and receive our users' feedback. Thank you for submitting the ticket and the feature request
I am having a different issues..
--Call counter always start from 30:00 if you look at the counter in Notifications.
--If data drops the application hangs on the black screen with Navigation Bar buttons but you need to kill the application and relaunch it. In other words call is not ended by itself.
Request you to please look into these, if possible. I dont bother much for the 1st one, but please resolve the 2nd one.

To God be the glory, my Slim7 Nougat project finally works!
This is a very slimmed down version of Android Nougat, almost a "vanilla" experience with a few tasteful perks! By design, this ROM comes without root for those who wish to have a "pure" version without the entanglements that come with root, but it can also be easily rooted by using chainfire's SuperSU (see below). In it's default form, it is perfect for those banking apps, workplaces, and games that require you to have a phone without root. No need for tricks or hacks, all while having the latest and greatest Android on your Samsung Galaxy S4.
If you do decide to use root, then you will be pleasently surprised to know that Substratum and layering works with this ROM. While not every part gets updated, for the most part it functions quite well in my initial testing.
**** This is an UNOFFICIAL ROM. Install at your own risk! ****

Gapps link:
http://opengapps.org/
-Which I personally only tested Pico. Be sure to choose "Arm" and "7.1".
This Rom has been stable for me for the past few days, however, Nougat is new, so be prepared for some little hic-ups here and there. Be sure to follow these installation steps very carefully, as they may be different then what you are used to.
!!!FIRST BOOT TAKES LONGER THAN 5 EARTH MINUTES TO COMPLETE!!!
!!!IF YOU FLASH SUPERSU, IT WILL REBOOT SEVERAL TIMES DURING INSTALL, THAT IS OKAY!!!
Installation instructions:
-Download ROM, and if desired, SuperSU, AKLU kernel, and gapps, and put them on your phone's external storage.
-Reboot into recovery mode - TWRP (I personally installed this using 3.0.2-0).
-Backup what you had. (Just to be safe.)
-Wipe. (I personally wipe everything prior to flashing new roms, but at least do the basic wipe.)
-Install Rom.
-Install Gapps. - Optional
--> OPTIONAL - If you want to install SuperSU, let the ROM boot up once first, then go back to TWRP and flash SuperSU zip. If it is stuck in a boot loop continually (it boot loops 1 to 4 times normally) then go back to TWRP and wipe cache and try again.
-Reboot to system and enjoy!
-OPTIONAL - After first boot, then go back to recovery and install the AKLU kernel.
Code:
What works:
So far everything that I have tried works, such as
- Camera for pictures only!
--> See notes section about video recordings.
- Phone calls/receiving
- Data 2g/3g/LTE
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- PTP/MTP
- GPS
- WiFi hotspot
- Multi-Window
etc....
What doesn't:
- Video recording with the camera doesn't work right, see the notes section.
- Choosing to reboot the phone sometimes takes a loooong time. It may be better to Power off and then start the phone, which is faster for some reason.
-Let me know in the forums if you find other issues so I can work on fixing them.
This SlimRoms Nougat ROM was built for the JFLTETMO using modified LineageOS JFLTEXX trees. I have not tried this on any other device, but you are welcome to try it AT YOUR OWN RISK. It should flash on all JFLTEXX variants as well. Chime in if it worked on your device.

-Initial release!
Rom Notes, Pictures, Features, and Thanks!
Main Features:
-Merged with android-7.1.1_r13
-SlimDim, now with 100% more dimming
-SlimAction, Splits screen action
-SlimRecents, an alternative recents
-Notification log (longpress statusbar header)
-Kill app from notification (long pres app notification)
-Substratum support (if rooted)
-OmniSwitcher built in so the kill function works with or without root.
Using the camera for videos and pictures:
Currently, the camera only technically works for pictures. I am working on a solution, one may be provided by work from @side. However, as it is right now, there are two optional ways to record video.
-My S4Camera app. The latest version is in this github repository as well as the source code. I am leveraging root permission to allow you to record videos up to 3 minutes long, there is currently no audio. You can download that here:
https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser/S4camera_app
or
-Camu camera, an app on the Google Play Store can be used, which technically strings together photographs to make a video.
Neither of these are the solution, but they are workarounds until the camera issue is fixed. Thanks for your patience.
Multi-Window mode:
Included in this ROM is "screens" a nifty tool to set multi-window shortcuts to open both apps that you want at once.
If you do not use the screens app, you will (currently) need to turn on the Nav bar to allow you to multi-window, as long pressing the recents button does not currently put you into multi-window mode.
Open Source apps:
There are quite a few really good open source apps included in this build, such as:
Screens app
Browser app
Amaze file manager app
SatStat GPS app
QKSMS texting app
All of these great apps and more can be found at https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/. You can also download other great apps there like music players, games, and everything else you might need. The Fdroid app allows you to maintain up to date version control and simple downloading and installation of these apps and is a lightweight alternative to the Google Play Store. that is certainly worth taking a look.
Whoo its time! Downloading it now:good:

Thanks for the kind words, but it really was @side who fixed the video camera.
Unfortunately, I have not gotten it to work on Slim7 yet. There is a problem with the stream in Slim7, so I am investigating that still.
However, the baby is due any day, so I think it will have to wait a while.

There was a similar issue with video recording on XenonHD HTC M7, ljjehl was able to fix it a day or two ago. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...hd-5-0-2-beta1-27-12-14-t2986038/post70801111
Maybe you can talk to him and see how it was fixed.
He provides us with Snap camera, not sure what you're providing here with Slim.
My wife is still using an S4 (M919, TMO), that's why I'm lurking around these forums
I'd love to get her off Touchwiz 5.0.2, too old and too slow... And would love to get Substratum running on her S4 as well.
EDIT: The official site only has download links to MM, I don't see any N builds under any of the S4 variants.

The current build has the snap camera but I tried both snap and camera 2 apps, and the problem is the same. I also tried some third party apps just to be sure, and they didn't work either, because the problem is in the framework.
Unfortunately no, we cannot port the tw camera, as that is proprietary closed source. Great thought though!

I flashed both RR and this SlimRom, and although I like both, I kind of prefer Slim. I'm a bit of a minimalist, so the closer to barebones I can get the better, then I add what I want. Along those lines, is there a way to remove the Google search bar? (I didn't install gapps, so not sure where it came from). And is there are a way to remove a couple other of the built-in apps (such as SatStat)?

For the Google search bar, I think you can turn it out like so:
Go to your home screen.
Hold your finger on an empty part of the screen until the options pop up.
Tap settings.
In the list, usually at the top, deselect search bar.
Hope that helps.

Since you are rooted, this is easy. There are tons of apps on the play store, Aptoid, or Fdroid, like system app remover, app uninstaller, link 2 SD, etc.
Technically, you could do it with the terminal or file browser in the /system folder, too, but if you are unfamiliar with that, I recommend that you use an app for that.

Installed this on my jfltecan and having a major problem. When I use the dialer to make a call, the screen shuts off and doesn't come back on, but I can hear the audio from the phone so the handset is still on. I have to do a battery pull or hard reset. Anyone else experienced this? I am using exDialer and Fongo (VOIP).
Edit: Seems like the phone becomes responsive again after a few minutes. Don't think this is specific to this ROM, I experienced the same thing with LineageOS. Not sure what to do here...

Fattest,
Other users of nougat rooms are complaining about VoIP apps, and Fongo has been mentioned quite a few times.
If you really need VoIP, I recommend that you stick with a marshmallow build until that gets sorted out.
Since it happens on multiple nougat ROMs, I suspect that either the device trees that we are using need pruning, or that these VoIP apps are not fully nougat compliant. (E.g poor implementation of the api's.)
However, I an willing to look into the problem if anyone will provide me with a log cat after making a VoIP call, along with a description of the problem, like you have here. The logs show me what android says the problem is, so I can troubleshoot.
Sent from my SM-N915F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks for the reply Alaska. I did some more experimenting with roms and dialing apps and found the following:
- Not localized to Nougat, I installed Slim6 and I have the same issue
- Not specific to VOIP apps (also tried Viber and WhatsApp), I have the same issue with stock dialer and exDialer.
As soon as I dial out, the screen goes blank and neither home nor power button will wake it. Back and menu buttons are not active. After the call ends and dialer closes, the phone becomes responsive again. At first I thought this was a proximity sensor issue, and maybe it is, but I was previously on stock touchwiz LP 5.0.1 and didn't have this issue with dialers or VOIP. I haven't tried recalibrating or taking the phone apart to remove dust around the sensor. I'll upload a logcat later today.
Edit: Looking more like it's an issue with my phone. I installed slimLP 5.1.1 and same issue with the screen. I'm going back to my stock backup and hope that it's ok there as I need the phone working during the week. Will try again next weekend.
Edit 2: OK it was a proximity sensor issue. I used this app and recalibrated the sensor, now it's working fine in calls. Back to testing Nougat on my S4.

I just found two really good apps from Samsung that can be sideloaded to increase functionality and efficiniy of the Tab S4.
One is called Multistar, that makes both apps in a multiview setup active at the same time. Normally the inactive app is frozen and does not recieve new info untill its activated again. So you wont see incomming text chats in the inactive app. Same goes in DEX enviroment. With Multistar the apps will behave like in a windows enviroment, staying activte. They also included a floating notifiction bubble that can be set up to open the pointed app into a floating app mode. Really handy!
Secondly, is the Task Changer apk, this changes the layout of the recents view. Also adds more functions to setup multiview. Design wise it looks really nice, I think Iphones have the same layout? Anyways check em out in the links provided from APKmirror.com.

These are all available in the Galaxy App store in the Goodlock app and include a bunch more features such as a new lockscreen and notification tray themes.

Im using them both on my tablet. I also have the new Task Changer view on my S9 phone, but sadly cant use MultiStar on the phone yet. Android 8.1 requirement.
Anyways, no impact on battery what I have noticed.
As someone mentioned, this is a part of Samsung Good Lock, but Europeans dont get to install Good Lock from Galaxy Store yet. Only Asia and America has support for it.
cool. didn't even know what Good Lock was!
https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-good-lock-2018-878036/
Made my night. The app pausing was one of the more annoying issues with multi window. Now my game is active and running in background as I type this. Like the task switcher too.
okay, this is a pretty amazing suite of apps. the multi-window is pretty much the best feature of DEX ... but without DEX running!
very cool. just opened a video in Netflix, plus Gmail (composing opens up another window, smart!), the Google app, Google Keep and a settings app ... piece of cake

1. open your apps.
2. in your Recents / Task Changer, drag an app into the center box (you'll see where, there's an outline), and then BOOM, that app is windowed -- and resizable!
3. go back into Recents / Task Changer, repeat for your other apps.
i haven't done it for more than five at a time, but i'm curious how many windows could be opened.
it's crazy why Samsung doesn't make a big deal about features like this and the notification customizations! SO MUCH potential here. this is not in DEX, it's not in a "desktop mode" like Huawei. and of course iOS can't.
this is genius stuff. i used to hate TouchWiz, but i'm digging Samsung Experience.
HEADS UP: LockStar doesn't work well the Tab S4. tried it, uinstalled it.
On my tab s4 it worked for one day. After that i reinstalled multistar and task changer. But the apps doesn't seem to work anymore please help. I have tried a reboot and reinstall them both. Even tried to install Goodlock 2018, but that didn't help either. I've got it working again with nova.
These are both great, thanks for sharing
There's no need to sideload, they're both avialable in the Galaxy Apps Store
And if you also install 'Good Lock 2018' (also avialable in the Galaxy App Store) it lets you customise the settings for 'MultiStar' and 'Task Changer'
Edit: Samsung should have just built these features into the rom

True, but GoodLock is not visible outside Korea and USA at the moment. So Europeans can not install it the proper way yet =)
Another thing I did, was sideload the app QuickStar. That way I could change the color of the quicksettings.

Oh wow, that's strange that they would restrict them. maybe there's some kind of licence/patent issue in some countries.
They're avialable here in Australia =)
Otherwise you can find them on APKMirror or similar
(technically, sideloading is different to installing apps outside of Google Play/Galaxy Apps, and usually requires a PC)

Just installed... Working great. I'll report back if I notice anything detrimental. Watching YouTube as I write this. Very sweet. I've never been this impressed by Samsung... The s4 is a treat. Thanks corb06!
Usually when I see these posts I think, "What a buncha crap!", but dammit these should be on everyone's to install list. Thanks for the heads up on these.

I just found two really good apps from Samsung that can be sideloaded to increase functionality and efficiniy of the Tab S4.
One is called Multistar, that makes both apps in a multiview setup active at the same time. Normally the inactive app is frozen and does not recieve new info untill its activated again. So you wont see incomming text chats in the inactive app. Same goes in DEX enviroment. With Multistar the apps will behave like in a windows enviroment, staying activte. They also included a floating notifiction bubble that can be set up to open the pointed app into a floating app mode. Really handy!
Secondly, is the Task Changer apk, this changes the layout of the recents view. Also adds more functions to setup multiview. Design wise it looks really nice, I think Iphones have the same layout? Anyways check em out in the links provided from APKmirror.com.

Just install Good Lock 2018 from Samsung App store and both of the mentioned apps can be installed without having to sideload.

Hey all
Figured I'd post here. Is there any app out there that allows the ability to turn off finger print touching when in a certain app
My issue is in one note I use my pen and at times it detects my palm first and zooms in. I want to stop that's. I still want to use my fingers to move along the page but maybe with 2 fingers?
Hope this makes sense
