I'm terrible with OPs.

I recently became the maintainer for all Galaxy Nexus devices for OmniROM. It came to my attention that toroplus (Sprint Galaxy Nexus) wasn't being built, and I felt terrible as I know how neglected you guys are over here. After a few fixes and tweaks and whatnot I was able to get it going and added to the nightly builds.

Let me start by saying thank you! It's nice not to be forgotten. I actually downgraded from my Optimus G to the Galaxy Nexus about 3 months ago but haven't looked back since. I'm having a blast with all these awesome Roms while keeping up with the best of em.

Try a fresh install and then give some feedback. Sometimes updates don't work depending on what was changed in the latest nightly/update.

ok i did a clear install and work fine. so a new nightlies come out today so I install it and i am right back where I was with a blank screen after the googler logo. so every Nightlies will need to do a clear install now. i do not have this problem with my Note2.

just would like to know if this is going to normal so i will not flash Nightlies, I will wait to the end of the week or month to flash update

That is not normal and should not be happening. I have not had this problem. How are you installing the updates?

I used the automated system to update (which just calls TWRP) and I have no problems on today's nightly.

I think I'm about to stick to Omnirom. Seems more fluid, probably due to the lack of the theme engine.

I actually slightly miss the theme engine. I'll be sticking with Omni for now though, it's been very solid. And my compass works, which it never did on CM11, it was always pointing the wrong way. Google Sky Map, which worked wonderfully on my old Droid Incredible, was a complete fail on my toroplus - on CM, that is. It also works just fine on Omni, probably due to the compass working correctly.

I've just been downloading the nightlies and installing them via TWRP, haven't used the automated system updates (I don't even know where that is.)

Nothing but praise for this rom so far. Gaining usage of 3g to 4g data after oem 4.3 screwed it up was great to have again. Thanks. Hope to donate when I have some extra cash.

I tried to install Roam Ctrl to force roam only for when I am in a bad area, but it won't work. Is this omnirom related or galaxy nexus released it may seem? Anyone have any other options for forced roaming? Would be a great feature to incorporate in a future omni update.

Dammit! For all my other stuff on XDA I always get an e-mail when there's a reply, but they haven't been sending them out for this thread so I just assumed there wasn't any replies >.<! My bad!

Any chance you guys would consider implementing the other style navbar with the ability to add from 5 custom buttons?...
I'll definitely look into it, but I can't make any promises.

I'll check into this, I haven't done the incremental updates so I'll have to see what's up with them.

The Cyanogen Inc. theme engine is very resource-hungry, and I'm in agreement with the OmniROM team's decision to not include it. Maybe in the future it'll be different, but for now it seems more like Cyanogen Inc. dumped this unfinished mess on the public to let them find the bugs and fix it rather than do it themselves before releasing it.
Disclaimer: This is just MY opinion and is not meant as a representation of an official OmniROM opinion in any way, shape or form.
Interesting to hear about the compass...

how is the data handshake handled in omni? is it pulled from CM?
As far as I know, it is not pulled from Cyanogen Inc., which would probably be for the best.


Rom is GREAT! 3g/4g hand-off doing very well. no excessive heat, no excessive battery drain. The only thing for me is WIFI doesn't automatically connect to known networks.
Glad to hear everything is working out for ya.
I am aware of WiFi not automatically connecting, it'll do so after turning WiFi off and then on again however. That slight inconvenience probably helps save battery though, so it'd be cool to see if I can make it something configurable.

I wasn't even aware that the stock ROM was a mess with 4G data as well, yikes! You guys have really gotten the shaft it seems. :(
Any donation is greatly appreciated! Most donations I have received were invested into things to help with development, some examples would be: parts for fixing my Galaxy Nexus, a Bluetooth 4.0 adapter for my dev laptop to help with developing/debugging Bluetooth, microUSB cables (mine wear out all the time due to their constant usage!), Coca-Cola or Pepsi (whatever is on sale, I like 'em both) to keep me going when developing stuff, etc.
I can really stretch a little bit of money really far too: the Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (which includes really fast WiFi too, 300Mbps 802.11n :good:) I snagged for $15, and it's an Atheros! I constantly find 12 packs of soda on sale for $3 each, sometimes even $2.50 each. $5 can get me 24 cans of soda!!
If you do donate, consider doing it with Google Wallet if you can. PayPal charges some pretty ridiculous fees, Google Wallet doesn't have any fees, so a $5 donation via Google Wallet is $5 when I receive it, but a $5 donation via PayPal ends up being more like $4.50. I've got credit/debit/whatever cards linked to Google Wallet and PayPal, so I can use them wherever regardless of whether or not they're accepted as official payment methods somewhere too :)

Are you talking about:
Settings --> More... (under the Wireless & Networks heading) --> Mobile Networks --> Data Roaming?


been using the rom now the whole weekend, wished i would have switched over sooner, this is a great rom and 4g/3g works great, and really starting to like active notifcations!
I'm really surprised at how well everything is working on toroplus!! :eek: I thought 90% of the replies here would be serious issues or something...

Installed the latest nightly after a wipe. I can't get LTE to work. After the flash I had 3G and it was set on the 2G/3G Preferred setting, I changed it to LTE an immediately got some infinite loop of "Android Phone has stopped running" or similar.

Now when I toggle it to LTE I get no data, I'll get a signal indicator but I get no data at all. Any ideas?

edit: the *#*#DATA#*#* code pops up a "com.android.phone has stopped" error when I click Edit. I'm using the GApps as recommended in the OmniROM wiki.

edit: I've also noticed when I update PRL or Profile I get "Error: (Code:1)Internal Error" each time, could be related?
