OMNIROM - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is someone building a gnex omnirom build for our device? It seems easy to do and i read that it should work normally on gnex, but nobody tested it yet

I also want to get this rom, as currently cyanogenmod is not like it used to be...
2 plans for me, go to stock when 4.4 is out or use Omnirom, but don't know the time for either...

[Q] When will we get AOKP?

Its been awhile since ive seen a device without aokp support. Will we have it and doesnt anyone know when
isn't AOKP still based off CM? Usually you start seeing all the original AOSP type ROM's come out after CM has been released.

Actually, they compile from source now! They do, however, use the CM device trees to fix things with their builds for some devices. Just a little fun fact and to answer the e.t.a question, we really don't know! Whenever a maintainer get their hands on one or someone steps up to maintain the device with them.

You don't need roms for that, you need kernels try Franco's kernel. Cynogen is the most stable and bug free ROM out there.

Hey Thank Wajeeh4616,
Please can you give me link to download for 4.4.2 and do i need to flash that kernel right. Sorry don't have much idea about Kernel,
Please if you could provide me some more help in this.
Thanks a lot.
Just one quick question after flashing with "cm-11-20140322-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip " CM11 Nightly, means Official CM11 because i was on "UNOFFICIAL" doest they make any conflict? If so then ill now i m moving on new cm11 "cm-11-20140322-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip " and i need to also flash with Franko Kernal ?

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
Get the latest version from here and be sure to select the correct device or you know..... Brick etc...
You can find many kernels on the development section of your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development this is for maguro
You can use others but I prefer using Franco kernel as it is very easy to flash (you can download it's app from play store just type Franco kernels and download it. You can use auto flash option from it)
Remember these things are very tricky,it can make your device unusable if you install it incorrectly so..... Take care
And yeah nightlies are official so you better get them from their website as they are fully tested and it is less likely to go anything wrong with them

I know that people generally stick to Cyanogenmod due to it's stability, but I think it is overrated due to the fact that they support so many devices. I would prefer ROMs where the devs actually have the device, and focus on the device since they plan to have it for a while.
With that being said, here is my favorite ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omnimetal-linaro-omni-rom-t2550477
I haven't had any issues (like apps that force close) on it, and apps run fine. In fact, I have also switched to ART and it is pretty stable and blazingly fast. My test was its battery life, and it lasted me close to 7 days on standby with groove ip running on it (receiving calls, texts, etc.), and 2 days with active usage with a sim card.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for atleast reply and suggesting me some ROM which is i ever try.. but now i am little confused, for selecting ROM, I made my mind as per last reply ROM from CM11 Nightly and Kernel From Franco but now OMNI i need to learn about that too.
Can anyone have suggestion on that or give me little more light on ROM.
Thanks
Its good to have choices
If you are new to flashing ROMs, usually CM 11 is an excellent choice.
However, to me speed, low RAM consumption and good battery life matters, so here are the reasons why I chose that ROM:
1. Linaro toolchain - Here is a link to explain why it is faster than standard CM:
http://www.androidauthority.com/linaro-android-is-up-to-twice-as-fast-as-stock-android-92831/
2. Dirty_V kernel - For speed, most of us Nexus users feel it is the best. It is an improvement over Franco's kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-dirtyv-t2613655
So, I usually choose a ROM which uses the linaro toolchain. I also got a ton of cool features like notifications, omniswitch, etc. which you can read about in the ROM link from my previous post.
In the end, I am just giving you suggestions. Why don't you try creating a nandroid backup and then flashing many ROMs to see which one you like? Using the nandroid backup, you could always come back to the tried and trusted CM 11 !
Here is a small intro to nandroid backups which may be useful even in the future in case you mess up your phone with a bad update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/NANDroid
Hope this helps! :good:
I'm switch between 2 Roms.
Remix
Vanir
Bothe stable and fast.
CU
Litening
Thanks really ! I'll definatly read and try on of that, but first I'll take nandroid backup and learn how to restore etc.
CM11 is good but some time its response very lately specially when charging.

You might want to try omnirom (google for omnirom download, you want the maguro version).
They push daily updates (I install updates every 1-3 weeks). They closely track AOSP (meaning a new AOSP will be made available ASAP). It's a very stable rom and I'm running it my nexus 4 and a modified version on my Galaxy Nexus. It's been incredibly stable and reliable so far. Oh, and its 4.4.2
No try omnimetal! No try vanir! No try liquidsmooth! No try Xenonhd!. So you need to test everything. These threads are useless and not allowed. Choose one you like. Every rom is stable unless specified otherwise..

Pick the one from the omnirom.org download page. All others are remixes - cool stuff you can get in this forum, but not the most stable experience.

Try posting this in general or Q&A. Your question is like asking which Victoria Secret model has the best body. There are several excellent LP roms that are a WIP. That being said, try a few. We are blessed with several quality Dev's cranking out sweet roms.
LP Models: CYANIDE L, BlissPop, Dirty Unicorn.
4.4.4 Models: Ditto Note 4 DN4, EZKat, LiquidSmooth, SlimRom
Others I'm sure.
I would like to know too, I upgraded to TeamUB, then all in a sudden, no more support.
the n7105 has official cyanogenmod12.1 and official mokee os 51.1
both of which are very stable
now if you don't have a very high speed internet connection I would recommend mokee os because it uses incremental updates which mean you only download a small ota unlike cm that forces you to download the entire build every time
ps I would recommend the release versions of mokee os because it will run faster then nightlies
I use Blisspop with my galaxy s3.
I looked at the device page from blisspop, but there is not a N7105 device listed...
Same by TeamDirt.

Does mookee ROM come rooted, or need to flash SuperSU separately?
What about Gapps?
I couldn't find XDA thread for mookee 5.1.1 it looks there is only an old 5.0.2 thread that looks quite abandoned. Am I missing something, or it's my starch button failing on me?

the thread is just for discussions about the rom and any bugs in it
the fact it is abandoned is a good thing ... and means that there is no one complaining and it's running great
and you could use [May, 25 2015] AROMA-LP-GAPPS-5.1
as for the root all android 5.1 roms are rooted but you have to enable it from the developer options
I haven't used supersu with it yet though the default root settings are working without a glitch
I'm just flashed NamelessROM 5.1.1 experimental build few days back, no issue so far.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/namelessrom/files/n-2.1/t0lte
Its rooted right?

All custom ROMs are rooted. You're just needed to install supersu app.
I just wanted to say maybe just try every one that is out, make a backup of each, and you can always choose between any of them.
I agree with @BRANDENDEUCE. I think I've seen him post on every LP thread in the Tmo and N7105 forums
I know I've tried ALL that I found compatible with the T889 (t0ltetmo and t0lte, specifically N7105).
I also want to add, aside from trying all of them out, try them even if they haven't been updated or have been discontinued. For example, I've had nice success in the past with a ROM that was discontinued but I tried it anyway because it was 5.1.1 not 5.0.2.
If you read around, you'll find that some ROMs that are updated often, could see some hiccups along the way. Some people love it while othiers prefer a stable release and not many updates.
I have a T-Mobile T889 and found out that the N7105 roms also work (not N7100 though), and I found some t0lte ROMS that worked that were only in the AT&T Note 2 forums (anything not t0lteatt specific).
Good Question.
My experience has been that My Note 2 (SGH-T889) just doesn't want to run any Lollipop ROMs?
Currently on Team OctOs 5.1.1 and even last night, in airplane mode, with 31% battery, my phone died, and my alarm then failed.
Upon plugging in, battery jumps to 65% in less than a minute. And, Yes, I did a rooted battery calibration.
This is the fifth Lollipop ROM that has proven too unstable for me as a daily driver.
I may go back, again, to Conch Republic 4.4.1 and fore go the bells-and-whistles of 5. . . . .
Thanks for the MoKee, I, too, had never come across it in my research!?

[Q] Can I go from 4.4.2 to CM 10.2?

I want a stable CM on my phone. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, what's the lowest CM I can go? CM 11? Please provide link.
Also, is there any rom that runs without gapps?

Yes, you can get a stable CM11. I don't know about flashing CM 10.2 on a Kitkat device, although I heard somewhere that you aren't supposed to flash older software than your device shipped with (on a Nexus, anyways). All US Galaxy S3s were merged into one build for Kitkat, called d2lte (stable download link here). However, they were un-merged for Lollipop builds. The CM11 builds are snapshots, which means they're pretty stable.
AFAIK, most ROMs can run without gapps (including CM). Legend has it one guy went without Google Play Services for a year before the authorities took him away for resisting the overlord Google.
In all seriousness, though, yes, you should be fine without gapps, if you're OK with not having the Play Store.

Haha, thanks man. I'll try installing CM11 from recovery. Currently on CM12 (works fine without gapps), which I like except I can only upload stuff onto my SD via PMP method.

Android 4.4 Rom? AOKP possibly

Hi, I'm sorry if this is not the spot to post this but i am looking for an android 4.4 rom for my verizon galaxy nexus. I want to use AOKP but they took down the 4.4 rom for this phone and it bums me out as i also want to use franco kernal and AOKP was the only rom that supported it. I wanted to either use AOKP or and old version of Cyanogenmod and LineageOS only has version 13 of their roms and i think they are Android 6.0. I have had performance issues on anything Android 5.0 and higher and Android 4.2.2 Official release no longer supports some of the apps that i use. Any help would be nice as Android 4.4 is kinda the sweet spot for this phone and I had the same issue with my Droid Razr. Found an old Cyanogenmod android 4.4 rom for it and its perfect. Any help would be nice. Thank you!

OMG Thank You!! People on reddit want to complain that kitkat is unsecure. Yea i know and i am willing to live with it though. their website only has old jellybean roms for this phone and i wanted kitkat. I wish they had one for the Droid Razr but sadly they dont but i did find an old Cyanogenmod rom for it and that worked. I have also noticed that they run better on kitkat. LineageOS has BAD performance issues on these old devices. Thanks Again!

I do agree with you KitKat provides the best performance on these legacy 1GB memory phones but I would recommend that you use one of the two most recently updated ROMs (unlegacy android / omni), both from 2018 rather than these almost four-year-old ROMs...

So whats the difference with Tune and toro? sometimes i see it called tuna and other times toro????
There were three main variants of the GNex. The US carrier-specific ones were toro and toroplus, while the rest of the world were all maguro (despite there being many different model numbers). All three are subsets of tuna. The various custom ROM communities have tried to unify their builds as much as possible, so even where final builds are still separate, a lot of what's inside them is generic tuna.

No idea, sorry. I went from stock 4.3 to LineageOS 13 (equivalent to 6.0.1) late last year because of the Krack and BlueBorne exploits. It's my only phone, and until I get another I have no wish to switch to something else. (My usage is pretty light, so I just put up with the occasional reboot.) In hindsight, I probably should have checked out the 4.4 possibilities, but LOS was the best known custom ROM, so that's what I chose.

I currently use a Droid turbo but have a Droid razr and want to have a galaxy nexus both on KitKat in case I need to use either. I have a Droid Maxx but I broke the volume buttons on it. I had them fixed but they can break again and I just don't want to take the risk. Also because I broke them I won't be selling the phone.
