[FLASHABLE ZIP] [v4.3] Switch ROMs among Tuna Devices // Android 4.4 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello there. Recently, I have seen many people with Tuna devices(especially Toroplus and Toro) want other variants' ROMs. Most are available for all three variants, but some are not or have delays. Thankfully, some people edit the ROM zip files and upload them so that the folks with another variant can use it daily. But, this way of editing needs some time to download, edit, and upload.
I wanted to reduce the time, so I made a simple flashable-zip file.
How it works:
It deletes most of the unneeded files and place the files you need in the appropriate paths. Then a script modifies the build.prop.
NOT WORKING:
-MMS
-data on some ROMs
Versions
v1-v3: 4.2.2
v4-latest: 4.3-4.4

Thanks to @MBQ_ for ftp server hosting
@funkypc 's update to Android 4.4.2, AllTuna:
How-To:
1. Download a switch for your variant Download "Tuna" if you're not sure what it is.
2-1. Extract a ROM zip file of your choice (of another gnex variant)
2-2. Open /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
2-3. Delete these lines
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "WHATEVERITIS" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "WHATEVERITIS");
If there isn't one, just leave it.
2-4. Zip the folder and flash it
3. Flash the switch
3. Flash Gapps and/or whatever fixes/mods/kernels you want
Data(3G/4G) doesn't work? (v4.2 or higher)
1. On any "native" YOURVARIANT's (maguro, toro, or toroplus) rom, copy and paste all of the followings at once in a terminal emulator app.
Code:
su
mkdir -p /sdcard/backups/telephony
cp -a /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/* /sdcard/backups/telephony
2. Reboot to recovery, full wipe, install a ROM of your choice (the one that you wanna convert), flash the switch zip, gapps, kernel, etc.
3. Reboot to android, see if data works, if not, turn on and off airplane mode. If still not, try changing the preferred network mode in Settings - WIRELESS&NETWORK - More... - mobile network. Still not, reboot.
If you want to change the carrier label, follow either set of steps in this thread by spunks3.
Please let me know if you find any bugs or if it doesn't work.

I was able to flash Purity on toroplus, data and MMS and everything was working, except instead of it saying Sprint on the notification toggle, it says Roaming Indicator Off. Also, on boot is says something about Samsung sync service crashing.

Thanks but just to make sure, did you find gps and call working? It rarely shows me Roaming Indicator Off, but it had always gone in a few seconds. Does it remain all the time? I will try again soon
Edit: was any sync services not working for you?

Updated to v2. Make sure to download the latest file - part of the file names could hardly be shown

My understanding of this is that I will download from the Maguro link since I'm using a Maguro, then I will flash this mod after I flash a toro ROM.
Is this correct?
Beamed from my Maguro.

Thank you so much for this. Can't wait to try this out on my Toro.

Exactly, and the fact that Verizon's LTE network isn't everywhere 3G is yet. For example I don't have LTE at my house but about 10 minutes up the road I have a good LTE signal
I am running GummyNex 0.3.8 and it's running perfectly.

definitely glad someone made a working 4g toggle for us thanks team BAMF. Will definitely be helpful in those fringe 4g area's where 3g is nice and strong.

I did notice this from the linked post:
It should work on any custom ROM as long as they are using the default signing keys. If it does not show installed after flashing, you will need the ROM developer to re-sign the apk with their keys for it to work.

I have the same question. I just want a toggle. Ideally, I'd have stock ICS but with the MIUI toggle grid in the notification menu.

[ROM][JB][CM10][PORT]Jellybean Port from Desire S (12/06/2012)

I present to you a Jellybean ROM port! i know cnote has already released one, but the more variety the better? perhaps...we shall see
first off, i would like to thank:
-nk111: for letting me use his ROM to port. link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776256
-elginsk8r: for the kernel. awesome!
-aaraya1516: for his never ending help in compiling the kernel and files for me. thank you!!
-Cnote: for letting me use his ROM as a base
-Synthetic.nightmare: for his kernel, and for still teaching me things. what a good teacher/dev
-ckisgen: for helping me fix an important bug regarding SD card
-the other devs
-the xda peeps here
onto the ROM
Here are some screenshots! Give thanks to this user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29135158&postcount=125
what works:
-camera!! yes, it works
-CM stuff, like weather on lockscreen, a power menu that can reboot, go into recovery, etc.
-thats all i know for now. the rest is the basic stuff, like wifi, bluetooth, etc.
what doesnt work:
-i am not too sure myself, so if anyone wants to keep looking for stuff, please do and inform us so i can put it under here
-heat issues because of the kernel. With pretty much anything that requires audio and having headphones inserted will cause the phone to heat up
Instructions:
1. wipe all /system, /cache/ dalvik-cache, and /data
2. flash ROM
3. flash gapps
4. flash LowMicFix.zip (so Google Now and other apps can recognize voice better. mic is too soft)
if updating:
1. just flash it without wiping system, data, etc.
2. flash gapps
3. flash LowMicFix.zip

tips:
if you want to record video, download videocam illusion. go into the settings, and change the audio frequency from 48kHz to 44.1kHz. there ya go, recording!
dont want a green line on your 5mp pics? check out Camera JB+ on the play store (or if you can find it elsewhere ). it works fine for me
full wiping from time to time may help in the lagginess of the ROM. this one is up to the user
a cache and dalvik cache wipe may be effective. also, fix permissions. that can be helpful as well
test this out guys!
Up to date kernel (thanks THEindian):

i flashed it, nothing went wrong. i am going to see if it worked. it probably will. go for it!
Status update #1: Dev-Host is being a PITA. so, google drive will be the new mirror for now
Status update #2: i uploaded the 7-19 version. camera works, since i replaced some files from the 7-20 version. backlights seem to be working as well, even with auto-brightness
Status update #3: apparently, the backlights keep going on and off at random times with auto brightness. strange...
Status update #4: looks like i never updated this in a while lol. ok, so cm things from cm9 are now starting to come together in cm10 . bluetooth is finally working...well it discovers devices now. 8-14-2012 is the latest build. go get it!
Status update #5: i've been slacking in these lol. anyways, a new build will be up. it will be a 9-14-2012 version (status made on 9/13/2012)
Status update #6: i will have to delay the update. sorry about that (status made on 9/13/2012)
Status update #7: finally an update (9-17-2012)! camera works out of the box (or out of flash...however you want to say it), which means you dont need to flash the camfix. isnt that great?? less things to flash! (status made on 9/17/2012)
Status update #8: 3.0 kernel is being worked on. as for now, a new update is being uploaded. also, check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881573 (made on 9/24/2012)
Status update #9: trying to get wifi working on the 3.0 kernel. no luck so far. will continue to try.
edit: it did not work. kernel 3.0 does not have working wifi yet. but we are so close. wifi is the only thing standing in the way (unless the heat and battery issue when headphones are inserted is still present. i didnt really test it) (status made on 10/5/2012)
Status update #10: i am back! just did an update to this port. hope you all enjoy. last port for this phone, unless i change my mind and do other ports in the future . (status made on 12/12/2012)
Status update #11: thanks to THEindian, a kernel that fixes the overheating problem. woohoo! and it's up to date (made on 12/22/2012)

Well its supposed to connect fast on wifi, it uses the IP address to help pinpoint your location.
What makes a difference is if it locks on the network, cause wifi ain't everywhere ya know.

I wasn't able to use a custom recovery until this was released yesterday, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
The other recoveries would flash just fine (I could install them but they couldn't read any storage) but they wouldn't mount anything. This recovery works perfectly.
I tried all the stable versions up until 10.1.0, some other guy with my same issue tried 10.0 and no dice.

I wasn't able to use a custom recovery until this was released yesterday, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
The other recoveries would flash just fine (I could install them but they couldn't read any storage) but they wouldn't mount anything. This recovery works perfectly.
I tried all the stable versions up until 10.1.0, some other guy with my same issue tried 10.0 and no dice.

To do your root and recovery that is what I used. And I use it to reroot&recovery when I wipe my phone back to stock unroot every once in a while I got my phone with the lj7 firmware

nope I stick to odin one clicks mostly. We have tried several different baseband versions and the story remains the same...
only noobnl's build from december 2012 with the boot screen disabled "presumably" has allowed us to boot.
Strange this is new info to me, I've never ran into any issues like that before on any rom. I flash test builds, my own complies and other peoples. I'm on a new ROM just about every week or two.

*Near Perfect* ShinyROM [AOSP 4.4.2] KOT49H (No mods, completely stock!)

ORIGINAL CREDIT TO BALDWINGUY77 OVER ON ROOTZWIKI. CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL THREAD HERE
This ROM is Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat, build KOT49H. The ROM is built directly from source, that is, the Android source code published by Google available for download to all of us developers. The reason I say the ROM is "OTA-like" is because I make VERY few modifications to it, aside from the things that it takes to get the ROM working. I'll go into detail about those things below, but basically I just want the ROM to make your phone feel stable and shiny and new as if it has just received a new OTA update. That being said, it's clear that the landscape of Nexus devices is changing as new ones are released. Therefore, the other primary goal of this ROM is to keep our Galaxy Nexus as close to the modern Nexus design as possible. This means that I will also add in features that will still be stock, but will also make our phones as close to a current Nexus as possible.
As for how I handle the forum side of things, I'm always open to comments, questions, suggestions, requests, etc. I know that most of those things will often be in the form of criticism, but it's okay, I think I can handle it That being said, I do also have a life and am a college student, so I may not get to come on here ALL the time. I will check back as frequently as possible, and I'm hoping that you guys will help each other out as much as possible! Keep it friendly! So now for the details...
Features
Stock Android 4.4.2, build KOT49H
Source (AOSP) built kernel (boot.img)
(De)Odexed
Easily rootable (see information below)
G-Apps (GMail, Play Store, etc.) included in build along with Nexus apps
Stock browser replaced with Google Chrome
Shiny restart options - access them by holding down the power button and then long pressing on "Power Off"
All the crazy Google proprietary app stuff has been taken care off
Updated frequently
Everything works!
So what do I mean when I say "Everything works!"?
I'm sure by now you all know that when someone says that, it usually ends up not being true. This ROM is not an exception to that rule, but I can say that I've tested most of the things that would be expected to work in stock Android, such as...
WiFi Tethering (no subscription check)
Bluetooth streaming
Google account sign-in and auto-restore of apps and settings
Google Wallet
Location Services (pretty fast GPS lock in my area also)
Believe it or not, December is still a month!
Photosphere
Android beam
Photo editing with the new filters
Email
Exchange support
Like I said, the normal stuff (data, voice, hardware acceleration, etc.)
More things that aren't important enough to mention here - check out the changelog for a more comprehensive list
Installation Instructions (VERY IMPORTANT - Note: You can flash all of these ZIPs in CWM or TWRP)
ROM
1. Download the latest version of the ROM from the download post. (Also download any other files you will need to install, such as Chainfire's Superuser Root ZIP, the radios installation ZIP, the bootloader installation ZIP, etc.)
2. Put the file(s) you downloaded in step 1 on your phone's internal storage (sdcard).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot into the bootloader of the phone by holding down both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously until you feel a vibration and see a large arrow that says "Start".
5. Use the volume keys to change the arrow until it says "Recovery," then press the power button to boot into recovery.
6. Because of differences in recovery types, I will make the following steps rather generic.
7. Wipe cache.
8. Wipe dalvik cache.
9. If you want to be 100% sure there are no problems, wipe data. If you are coming from another ROM or Android version, wipe data. If you do not wipe data and something goes wrong, repeat this process but wipe data - this step is not necessary if you are simply upgrading.
10. If you are updating your radios, flash FK01_FK02_Radios-signed.zip
11. If you are updating your bootloader, flash PRIMEMD04-signed.zip
12. Flash the ROM (baldwinguy77_toro_aosp...signed.zip)
13. If you are rooting, flash Chainfire's SuperSU ZIP file - this step is not necessary if you were rooted on the previous build and are simply upgrading.
14. Reboot your phone, and enjoy!
Download it noooooooowwwww: here, instant dl.
This isn't mine, if you have questions feel free to ask.
The lag can be fixed (apparently) by using a custom kernel like Mpokang.
I am sure this will get deleted... Xda doesn't like links to that other site....

Switched over to ShinyROM 4.3.x after running mmuzzy's ROMs for quite some time. Both devs are busy but are great with supporting their builds. If you're looking for a natural follow up to mmuzzy 4.2.2, I'd suggest Shiny 4.3.1. Like mmuzzy's ROMs, it's rock solid, close to stock and seems to be very compatible with the leaked 4.4 apps.
4.4
Here's 4.4

If you alter anything under settings ie changing from 3g to LTE after reboot you will only be able to obtain 3g. After clean install upon booting up immediately reboot to continue set up. 4g loads up everytime

I just tried this ROM just to try it out. I also dont get 4G. I have the latest radios installed. I see people over on the other site say that 4G is working though so I dont know what the issue is.

No problems with 4g here
But definitely has the graphics glitches. These are going to be present in every 4.4 for gnex until they figure it the new graphics drivers from what I've read.
Other than the graphics I haven't run into any issues. GPS works.. Not sure on Bluetooth as I don't use it. Using mpokang 1080 kernel.

I'm not getting 4G either. I followed the steps of flashing the new radio, rebooting after the first, boot, etc., but still no 4G. Only 3G and WiFi.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
No 4G/3G *** Because no SIM
Ok, so I don't have a SIM in this device right now. WiFi works just fine. I did have a reboot while trying to back out of Chrome tho. Still browsing, but the install and root were super easy.

4.4 Kit Kat GOOGLEHOME

I take no credit for this, Just found threads in other furums and wanted to put them in ours forums.
Here is a thread for GoogleHome with the search bar fixed, kept FC for people. flash the (New)googlehomev2 then after you boot up install the PrebuilGmsCore.apk file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506449
Here is the thread where the apk files are, also comes with all the apps as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507529
Here are some screen shots of what it looks like.
Working on a installer that has all the new apps in it.
Here is a installer i put together with the Gapps, just flash and pick the ones you want, before you reboot you need to fix permissions. (aroma is a little touchy sorry, just hit the options to proceed a couple times then it will go)
http://d-h.st/PkM
Here is what the Readme file says from the link above:
By TweakerL
By no mean I take credit for any files in this package. All I have done is put everything in a single place and write these instructions.
Please read all these instructions before proceeding, failing to do so will most likely result in stupid questions, in which case I'll have to make fun of you.
1. Every app can be installed, i.e. you don't have to copy them to /system/app.
2. In order for Google Now/Google Seach to work properly you MUST copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so to /system/lib, replacing the original when asked.
3. In order for the Camera to work properly (namely the photosphere) you must copy libjni_filtershow_filters.so, libjni_mosaic.so and liblightcycle.so to /system/lib.
4. Some of the apps depend on Google Services 4 in order to work. Because of this I highly suggest that you install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk before installing any of the other apps.
5. You may not be able to install Maps.apk until you uninstall the one already present in your device.
6. Anything that requires adding/replace lib files requires that you be rooted. No way around it.
7. Before replacing/uninstalling anything that's already installed on your device, I suggest you perform a backup of the original in case anything should go wrong. You've been warned!
Thanks bro!! When I have some spare time I will check this out.

Edit: Worked for me, try redownloading it and see if it works, just have to fix permissions afterward
So ive been looking into these, does this aroma also add what ever libs that each new apk requires? Or do you also have to copy paste those yourself?

These are just the apks, doesn't have lib files, the lib files in the links are for the camera only. The apks I don't think need them or they are built in the app itself

Yup. Followed a few of the instructions in the linked thread and everything I did worked. I didn't really care for the format so I reverted back to Nova but yeah, it worked for me.
This is really cool - love what GOOGLE NOW has become and despite a few things I would like differently, the GOOGLE HOME launcher is pretty cool.
I noticed that I have had to re-install the GOOGLE Core apk thing (whatever that is called) each time I reboot - which is kind of a pain - do you know if someone has come up with a fix that would let you install everyhting once and then you would be done with it?
Just the same - thanks for making us aware of this - very cool - h
And I just found out that the widgets are resizable

I installed yesterday from a completely different perspective. Downloaded 3 separate files, home, velvet, and prebuiltcore. Click installed velvet, copied home.apk to system/app then rebooted phone. Ran fix for Google search found on phandroid. For some reason, my phone has no use for the prebuiltgmscore.apk. previous attempts renaming to gmscore and copy pasting into system/app failed for me. Weird, but I am not complaining as it work flawlessly.
