This is completely AOSP with Verizon bins, and root/busybox. It's ALMOST completely functional. Check the Current Bugs section to see the two insignificant ones that are left.

READ THIS FIRST: Upon first boot (after factory reset), everything on your sdcard is moved into a new folder named "0", don't freak out. This has to do with the new multi-user functionality, and this is how it will stay. If you're wondering about the problem of nested folders being created every time you wipe data/cache, and recoveries not being able to see your backups, this has been solved with the latest recoveries. It's NECESSARY that you update to the latest CWM (6.0.1.5+) or TWRP to prevent this from happening every time you wipe data/cache (do a factory reset). Update CWM through ROM Manager, TWRP through Goo Manager or flash it through fastboot. The downloads are below.

Love this ROM! The only thing that doesn't work for me is accessing Google Now from the home screen search bar. The actual app works fine but when I press it on my search bar on my home screen it is just a dead spot. Weird thing is that the mic works fine when pressed, it is just the word "Google" that is busted? Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: I realized that it is an issue with Apex launcher not the ROM.

Nice to see you here Grouper! Good job on your Rom. I guess I can now actually hit the thanks button unlike Rootzwiki like button.

Hey I noticed you have the T-CDMA64 thing for the pulldown text. The eri.xml is missing in the overlay, It belongs in /device/samsung/toro/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/eri.xml. If you put that in your source it'll report VERIZON WIRELESS every time.

EDIT: Attached the one I use in case you need it.
EDIT2: I had to zip it to get the forum to take it :p

Testing out now, so far so good.

This looks like a very nice rom, I have downloaded it and now in the process of restoring my apps. So far so good, I am pleased with this ROM. I tried another ROM the other day and it was horrible, my data speeds were very slow, radio seemed almost like it was dead.

  • This rom is quick
  • it is very plain, which is what I like
  • Tether/hotspot working as designed
  • Fast
  • I love it. Thank you.

I will report more as I go along with it.

So far so good for me. I'd actually say scrolling is improved and more smooth. Anyone able to recommend a 4.2 kernel?

What exactly does the "READ THIS FIRST" affect? I apologize if the answer is obvious, but I guess I'm not sure what it means. For example, I have a bunch of Spotify songs downloaded offline. Does that mean when I do that again, I'll be taking up double the SD card space?

So far, this ROM is good, thanks for it! Been using it for almost a day now. No FCs and battery life has seem to be pretty nice too.

Ok, onto my problem. Since 4.2 renames my SD... I am unable to restore my backup via CWM. Any suggestions?

Appreciate the help!

Upon each data wipe the contents of the sdcard are moved into a new folder named "0," even if that folder already exists. There will be an update to your recovery (there is already a commit for CWM) to solve this problem. To be running 4.2, I would leave everything in the "0" folder. If you're worried about an app being able to see backups, there is also already a fix for ROM Manager if you've updated to the latest version.

    I guess the keyboard typing sounds are stock AOSP, but is there anyway to get the stock Gnex typing sounds (like say we got this from an OTA)?

    Just download a rom based off of the factory image and take the .ogg file from /system/media/audio/ui.

    Edit - I attached the sounds from my nexus 7 running the 4.2 factory image.
