So I wanted to flash the FNV AoSP ROM on my Galaxy Nexus GSM. First off al I flashed the 4.2 takyu version and rooted it with SuperSU. After that I flashed the recovery with Clockwork 6.0.1.5 after that I did the following things:
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Mounts and storage > Format /system
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik
- Flashed ROM fnv_20121119_003_maguro.zip
- Flash 4.2 gapps
Am I doing something wrong?
When you say, won't work what do you mean?
Does the recovery not flash the file? If so, what error does it say?
Does it not boot after what seems to be a successful flash in recovery? Do you see the bootanimation?

It flashs the files and all but it gets into a bootloop. I see the costum bootanimation of the ROM, but it keeps playing and it won't start up. After some time the screen goes black, but it's not off, because if I hold down power it won't turn on so I have to pull battery.

Your ROM name seems to show that it is a recent build. A quick search around, the last official FNV ROM I see was uploaded in September. The Gerrit, Github, Twitter, and threads here and on another site seem to have been untouched for quite some time.
Of course I am a little out of the loop, so perhaps I am missing something. As devs often post things in IRC, or in other non-official channels. Did you get this ROM from a trusted spot?
That said, it could be a ROM issue perhaps.

it probably doesnt need the gapps. try reflashing, but without the gapps. don't wipe anything.

install the gapps from the play store. you can flash without them, besides the ones that you cant get from the play store are included. you can try it, or just stay in your bootloop, its your call.

Ah, my bad I didn't realize it was picked up by someone else, I see that now (which I thank you for the heads up that it is back in production). I was just making sure you weren't flashing something that wasn't ready for public use, and that it was a real ROM.
OK, I might get trolled unrelentlessly, but right now I don't care...
The girlfriend loved the look of some of these themes, and asked me to install one. I didn't realize at the time that not being on a TW-based ROM that it would fail as badly as it has.
At this point in time, I can get into the OS, see her home screen. Google acct info is completely gone, home button does not work, and no matter what order of operations I use in terms of bringing this thing back to life will work. HELP.
TB will fail to restore ACTUAL settings for "Account", etc. If/when it does finish, the phone boots straight to boot-animation, but does not go any further, period.
I've been at this for 2hrs now, and I'm getting nowhere. Do I need to install a TW-based ROM, THEN wipe again and install AOSP like she had before?
For clarification, I've tried wiping EVERYTHING, including full reset in CWM.
The problem is that I get a FC on "False.4.1.2-eng-nocoast.20121030.123453", and the status-bar is completely gone. I can use TB to remove the "False" apk, but I can't find a way to get the status bar back. I've tried installing the ROM fresh after full wipe of all caches, plus factory-wipe from within CWM. All this amounts to is the ROM booting to its splash-screen without continuing, OR getting to Android, but the home button doesn't work, and there is no way to associate a Google account with it at that point in time. I thought I could remedy this by simply having TB update.zip run before first boot after fresh install, but even though it allows the Play store and other Google apks to install, it won't let me associate an account for Google. The list consists of Exchange and something else.
Basically - I need to know if this means I have to Odin back, start over...or if there is some way to get the phone to recognize the 2 missing components without doing that.
I do have one nandroid, but it was done right after the initial realization of failure with the theme install, so it essentially puts me back to square-one.
You need to be on a tw rom; as that theme is tied into the tw framework.
What you should do is:
-do a full wipe in recovery
-download / flash your tw rom of choice
-flash the theme
In the future, tw / aosp themes are meant to be used on the respective rom source.

What recovery are you using? If you flash twrp and wipe the system, along with the caches and factory, that will definitely be the end of that.
And you flashed the same rom with the theme?

If you're able to get into the os, I would install the goo manager app > menu > install open script recovery > install twrp recovery. Then boot into recovery, make sure to wipe the system. That should do it, cuz just seems something isn't wiping. Additionally, I may re-down that rom if its giving you issues; did you modify the zip at all?

I'll give that a try. I didn't modify the ROM; I never do, I just install them. It's the Liquid Smooth AOSP, and it has been just that up until I had my "senior moment" last night.

So, I got TWRP 2.3 on, wiped everything, flashed the ROM, Gapps, and ran Fix Permissions (which resulted with "failed"), and rebooted. Same story - goes into Android, home button doesn't work, and no Google account associated with the phone. Also, no menu option to add one. There is only "Corporate" and "Email".

This particular ROM uses a different SU app that I hadn't seen before using it, but I have the same phone with the same ROM, and it runs as the title says, "Liquid Smooth". So it's not an issue with the ROM or how it was packed. I'm trying a different ROM now, to see if I have better luck.

I was going to suggest trying a different wrong, because the instructions I gave you should have worked, not to say you're doing it wrong. If i remember, that was was ported, so it could have inherent issues, or some unknown ones; I haven't flashed it yet, so I can't advise. Flash aokp, I know everything is working there.

OK, here's the latest:
-Wiped everything in TWRP - caches, system, data, basically every option for wiping in the menu.
-Flashed AOSP ROM by codefireX, yet another that I've used before, and has worked almost flawlessly for me.
-Flashed JusTunBean's Aroma installer for gapps, been using it for months with no issues.
-Boots to OS, home button now works, and the status bar is there. Immediately get a FC on Gmail, without opening any apps.
-Still no Google account, and no option within "Accounts" to add one. <----main problem at this point.

Nothing in the menu button to add accounts?
And with that aroma installer, are you adding the thing for the account setup, that prompts you for the gmail account etc? I don't use the aroma installer, but I know it lets you select which packages to install, and you may not be installing it.

Nothing at all in the menu for it :/
The gapps installer menu is Aroma-driven, but it has its own menu. It's designed to let you choose which gapps you want installed "inverted", and what, if any, additional features you'd like added. I've tried everything from completely foregoing installing them altogether, to installing all of them. There is no menu option for adding account setup.
Since all else had failed just Odin back to stock and reroot. Then you should be good to go. You also might have something on the internal sd card that is not playing nice. So id wipe that too then use odin. Make sure you get any pics etc saved first so you don't lose them.

That's really weird. Have you tried installing just the gapps zip without the installer?

That's the last thing I was gona have him do, but avoiding it if possible.
I figured it out. It had nothing to do with remnants of whatever messed it up in the first place. For the first time since I've used that specific gapps installer - it has failed me. You were right when you said it should be creating a google account prompt as a result of installing the gapps (I always thought that was part of the ROM, not the gapps zip).
I loaded the previous version of the gapps zip, it still uses Aroma, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks a TON for the persistence responses, I sincerely appreciate it. Nothing like looking like an ass to your girl when you think you know your Android...heh

This is the best help I could find for backing up the IMEI, but I've NEVER had an issue with it and I flash ROMs all of the time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915
1.First off, it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684 and yes. That is correct.
2. Correct
2.5 You don't need to, it is already packed inside the ROM.
3. I always do a Nandroid within Recovery. I didn't know you could do it anywhere else.
4.Yes
5.Yes
6. Yes
7.Yes
8.Yes
9. No, Kernel is already flashed from inside the ROM package.
10.Yes
11.Yes
12. No
Here are my steps. First I am rooted on 4.0.4. Then I download goomanager from the android market. Open goo and hit the menu button and install open recovery script. This will install twrp recovery. Then I reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and clear cache. Next I make a full back up in twrp. After that I reboot the phone and back up the imei with nv backup and peoples army method. I did both because im paranoid. Copy your files to your storage. Next I go back into twrp and wipe again,flash the latest work from task. The underwear kernal is included. Last flash gapps. Reboot and feel pimp!

before you get started, in Rom Manager, update your recovery to the latest version if you have not already done so. back up your IMEI then proceed. cheers
Thanks for your help. Final Question: I noticed that Tibu has a option to turn all of my backed up apps into a update.zip. Can i just do that and use it to restore my apps in the recovery menu once im done? Or do i have to do it the long way through the Tibu app?
Or should i do it another way?

you can use the paid tibu to batch backup your apps in a flashable zip, yes.
do NOT include system apps/data in this backup. you will only have problems if you do.
I don't recommend that. Last time I tried that, it corrupted the app data, so I had to restore the normal way with TiBu. It might be better now, but just the issues I have ran into.
Okay, everything worked great! I only have three problems. First one is my notification bar at the top of my phone is clear. Not 20% tranceparency but 100%. Is there a way to get the black bar back? Also, How do screenshots work? And is there a way for enable landscape mode on the home screens?

i dont know about your notification bar. maybe someone running tasks 4.2.2 can weigh in.
to take a screenshot, hold vol down + power buttons together
unless task has landscape mode built into the ROM control settings, you'll have to use a launcher like Nova to enable that

Notification bar might need a reboot to take effect once you set it to 100%. Also, try setting it to 0% and back to 100%.
Nova is the main launcher with Task's AOKP, go through the settings if you want your homescreen in landscape. Also, you can just use the auto-rotate feature (in the pulldown menu).

To get the black bar back at all times go into settings->ROM Control-> General UI->Transparency settings. Uncheck "Match lockscreen alpha" and turn them both to 100%. This will give you a black status bar and will stay consistent.
With the screenshots, voldown/power button. Sometimes you have to hold them for like 1.5 seconds to get it to work.
Having only dabbled with rooting and upgrading a Evo View tablet, I jumped into the deep end with my Incredible 2.
I got it to S-off and rooted and have been trying a few different ROMS (mostly chillybean's) and have what seems to be a common problem:
Sound works fine until a call is received. The ringtone fails to play and then sound doesn't work at all until its reset. I have had success resetting the sound by activating Google Voice Search with a long press of the search button. This seems to be true for CM10.2 and PAC. I didn't test this on an Evervolv because 3G never comes back on after Wi-fi has been turned on.
Has anybody had better luck with a particular 4.3 ROM? Does this sound issue affect pre-4.3 JB roms?
Thanks!

The 929 rom is not working for me and I know at least of couple of other folks in the same situation.
Are you using the 929 ROM with sound successfully? What - exactly - did you do to install it? I'm wondering if it's a I'm-doing-something-stupid/wrong thing or maybe a hardware revision thing.

Flashed it like any new ROM. Backup important data and reboot into recovery mode. Once in recovery mode:
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
Mount/unmount -> format system
Format boot
Install AntiVenom SDW
Flash a ROM
Flash GApps
Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot and you should be golden. I've had it hang at the boot screen a few times, had to start over and skip installing GApps until I was sure it would boot.

I'm thinking there's something different about my phone. Hardware? How I rooted it?

What version of gapps are you installing? Try flashing the ROM without installing gapps and see if it will boot, then if you're successful go back into recovery mode and flash gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip from here.
funny question, does docking mode work with these roms?
Check Chilly's forum. The Inc S Dev posted a flashable fix for the sound problems. I flashed it and all is fine.

Thanks - found it and downloaded it! I'll give it a try when I can have my phone out of service.....
I flashed Evervolv 10/30 nightly yesterday and it looks like they have the 3G/WiFi toggle issue resolved. The quick settings were missing but, I'm guessing that'll be corrected in the next build. Also, flashed B-Team Kernel. 4.3-s2w version resulted in bootloops but, the 4.3-v2 version worked just fine. No sound issues as far as I can tell.
Does the latest Everlov nightly work? Also what are you all referring to when you say Chilly's forum, the "Inc S dev fix", and AntiVenom SDW? I went through 5-10 of the most recent pages on Everlov and didn't see any of these things, so would someone mind providing links?
Thanks

Alright thanks a bunch. One more question though - what exactly is AntivenomSDW? Where can I find more information on it? Google is little help here.

Alright thanks a bunch.
Would you, or anyone else still reading this thread, care to weight in on whether Evervolv or CB's rom (Which? Beanstalk?) is more stable?
The Gallery app is acting weird. App data keeps on increasing drastically. I noticed it yesterday that the app data was 50.2 GB. How is it possible for a device that has 8 GB of memory to have 50 GB of space for an application. Its not like the device is slowing down overall but i cant really tell although when i open application manager or storage it takes a lot of time to load.
I am not sure if this is a problem of latest rom because i noticed it just yesterday. I have disabled it for now and am using Quickpic as a gallery app. Anyone facing this issue or have a solution do comment.
its a bug in 4.2.2 official mine shows 95gb

Yea it will not affect your phone in a harmful way but when you try to install or update anything it won't let you, saying that your memory is full.
What I did was, go to Settings>Application Manager> All Applications, Select Gallery and clear all Data and Cache
After that didn't go up back for me.
If it still remains a problem either clear data/cache of gallery app and then disable it, and use app like QuickPic as your main Gallery

No not at all, if it's still a problem for you, just wipe cache/dalvik/data and reinstall the ROM you are using.

Still no luck. Whenever i try to install a new app it shows insufficient storage space. Isnt there any solution to it. To be honest doing a factroy reset is a pain in the ass..

Sorry for double posting but i would like to add some information. That menu which comes up by pressing volume down + menu + power buttons is bugged. Whenever i try to wipe cache it shows an error message and the fone restarts itself.

You need to reinstall the recovery with Odin and wipe everything, data/cache/dalvik and re-flash the 4.2.2 firmware so it's clean.
Then install the ROM you are using, skip this step if you are just using Stock ROM.

I am using stock rom 4.2.2. Updated it OTA. Cant i just reset it or do i have to flash the whole rom? If i have to flash the whole rom then it would be kind of u to provide me a download link as i am not aware where i could find it. But if a simple reset will solve the problem then i would appreciate it because downloading the whole rom would take time.

No you probably don't need to reflash the whole thing. Try this before resorting to that.
I'm using if you are on OTA updates, you are not rooted, so these are instructions for stock recovery :
Press Volume Up+Home+Power and hold till you see your phone's model number on your screen.
You will boot into recovery, use this carefully.
Use volume buttons to scroll up and down and power button to confirm and execute the selected command.
scroll down to wipe cache partition, press power to execute this (This will wipe all app's cache partitions)
Scroll up to reboot system now, and confirm
If you have touch custom recovery it should be similar except you wont need volume keys to scroll

I tried it but it doesnt work. It shows an error message with a dead android on the back and the phone restarts itself. I kept on trying it but couldnt get it to work.

Last option is to try and flash the entire firmware through Odin or if you have not rooted just take it to Samsung service, they will do it for you. Guides and links for that are in general section if you want to flash the firmware or root or your phone
@iceyhotguy If he is rooted he can take a back up of current gallery and try pushing note 3's gallery to system/app with right permissions may be that will work out wt say??a

He's not rooted, he mentioned he updated with OTA and that he has a recovery with a "dead android" (lol), that's stock Samsung recovery.
It will be easier just to re-flash the firmware than experiment with ported gallery after rooting for him
I have the same problem on my I-9082 (Grand) and my gallery was over 100 GB. I cleared catch and data, but it's increasing again, and when it gets very high, it makes my phone work very very slowly. Is it possible to replace this gallery with another version or app?
I'm using Stock ROM 4.2.2, but rooted. The same problem happens to my contacts too, but that is more delicate and less harmful to my phone.
