I think we should continue to use our old device without its videomedia side. We should use it as a smartphone without excepting much for video and else... [emoji4] Already happy how nice we can still use it. Poor suffering Galaxy Nexus [emoji1]

The problem with video is a minor one - the only trouble is actually tracking it down within the hundreds of thousands of lines of code. There's absolutely no reason at all why video recording should not work perfectly on our device.

Well guys my oneplus one came in today so my gnex is now retired, however I'll still be willing to test out builds and report findings and all that hood stuff, just not ril related things. It's been a good two years with that little guy! And no, I don't have any invites cuz I got mine off oppomart. Cheers!

Hey guys, got a Gnex running CM11 right now. Runs like a dog. So slow it's almost unusable. How have people found CM12 in terms of performance under F2FS? Looking to make the switch for my daily driver, but I really need general stability. Offline charging and video recording are non-issues for me at the moment. With the current state of this ROM should I stick to CM11 (maybe do a reset, convert to F2FS) or make the leap to CM12? Cheers :good:

Installed 2/13. Smoother and manages well a jump to app from app.

You may want to install unofficial cm12 versions with a backup, and you can always retrograde to cm11 if you see problems.

Good luck!

Bugs and development

Hi,

Been following this thread for a while and recently tried a clean flash of 12-20150209

Kernel version is 3.0.101-gca31951-dirty daniel@build-server.com #1 Mon Feb 9 02:29:35 CET 2015

I've read much of what is on the thread. Looks like we could do with a FAQ the amount of times the same questions about updating to TWRP to load minimial google apps. I'll probably go back to kit kat for a working phone but was interesting to test the beta. The maguro is well capable of running lollipop if the developers can sort the bugs.

Bugs I'm experiencing. Charging text on locksreen, youtube and other videos need reboot to work, camera requires reboot - this breaks QR code reader. Everything else works as expected so far.

I've got extensive experience of C++ windows system programming and would be interested in transferring some of that skill to help development of this ROM if I have time and if this would be helpful.

Mate i'm switching b/n CM11 and CM12. With each update CM12 is getting closer to final builds but sometimes i get back to CM11 because the general performance of CM11 is better ATM. Right now i'm CM11+Minimal GAPPS which make the phone faster in general. The same thing i do when i get back to CM12 again with Minimal GAPPS. Almost everything is dont in the beta builds. I've noticed alot of ppl making their own builds with merged code from the CM12 general devices atm and its amazing. Both CM11 and CM12 are great i can stick to both as daily device the question is what do you prefer?

CM11 is close to perfect, with stability, speed, CM12 definitely need more dev hours to get there

Well mate you cant blame anyone can you? We get all of this for free and the developers have their own life behind those projects. I know you say nothing bad abut yeah you understand :p CM11 is perfect tho :D

Thanks for the advice guys, appreciate it. I found an app that will run fstrim automatically for me, that should hopefully keep things running quick enough till CM12 is ready for prime time :) either way is pretty awesome that our old Gnex lives on!

    After countless unofficial builds and hours spent with this, I am happy to announce that maguro is now considered stable enough to get official CM12.1 nightlies :) moving on to CM13 after I find some time, which will hopefully become a nightly soon as well, since the hard part of the work is now done ;) updated the OP accordingly (the builds in the downloads section will stay up for a couple days, just in case there's a problem we need to compare with an older build).

    Sorry for not being active lately guys, I was busy, as my new semester just started :( but don't worry, I didn't forget my plans for this, I'll release a new build soon :)
    48
    New build up. Changes:
    - reclaimed ~6 megabytes of userspace RAM
    - enabled video stabilization, exposure and whitebalance lock in the camera HAL (our ducati supports these, but it's not advertising it! what a *****...)
    - disabled dex2oat watchdog (this should make the optimizing apps dialog on every boot disappear, and hopefully fixes installing large apps)
    - synced with CM repos (01/01)

    I also switched back the default I/O scheduler to BFQ - I hope that the lockups some of you experienced were caused by an older CM bug (they made some BFQ-related platform changes).
    If anyone encounters another one, and wants to switch back, simply change sys.io.scheduler to cfq in /system/build.prop. Alternatively, use your favorite kernel settings app to change to CFQ on boot (but I'd recommend changing build.prop instead - I think Kernel Adiutor has a nice interface for editing it). And remember: if it locks up again, no need to remove the battery: just hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds, and the device will turn itself off.

    will 13 come :fingers-crossed:
    As soon as I'm satisfied with the results (currently, I'm not - looking at you, memory management).

    The folks over at the S3 camp are enjoying a nearly bugfree CM13 with 3.0 kernel. Funny if you look back at codewokx swearing while getting CM9 to work (camera was a pain).
    Facts:
    - they received official KitKat update with proper drivers and stuff, tuna only got 4.3 (Samsung updated their EGL blobs for KitKat, meaning they didn't have to port over to a new kernel like we did, and didn't have to switch to a newer camera and domx hal)
    - there's at least 10 people actively maintaining it over CM
    - their user and developer community is at least 10x bigger

    I can't express how hard and time-consuming it is to maintain tuna with only two active developers :(

    Just a heads up, the flashlight toggle has been fixed, but CM's ffmpeg **** broke the domx, so video playback is now gone, I already have the fix composed in my mind (lol), just need to test it... my finals are here, so I'm pretty busy now, but I'll try to fix and upload a new build in the next few days :)
