[ROM][AOSP 4.3] SUPERNEXUS | LINARO | AWESOME KERNEL OR STOCK Sept 26 UNOFFICIAL




The main idea behind SuperNexus is to provide Vanilla Android experience, just like on Google's Nexus devices, to non-nexus devices. SuperNexus is entirely built from Google's AOSP Source. A lot of improvements and optimizations have been done to the Google's Source Code to have the best possible Vanilla Android Experience. SuperNexus is very light too as there are no 3rd party apps (ZERO Bloatware).

Big thanks to TeamHacksung (Donate To Them) as the ROM was made using their Device Tree and SoC related patches in my SuperNexus ROM. Thanks to CyanogenMod Team (CM) as many features are cherry-picked from their source code.

  • Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (Android-4.3_r3.1)
  • Latest CM Kernel (or AWESOME KERNEL)

Requirements




Installation Instructions


1. Copy Google Apps, SuperNexus ROM, and SuperSU into your internal SD Card
2. Boot into TWRP 2.6.1.0 Recovery
3. DO A FULL DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (What I mean is use the advanced wipe and select everything but sd and externalsd for wiping)
4. Flash SuperNexus ROM (Either Virgin or Awesome)
5. Flash Google Apps' package (download below)
5.5 Flash Camera Fixer (at least for now)
6. Flash SuperSU (Optional) (you can keep your device completely without Root if you want)
7. Reboot your device
8. ENJOY!!!

Note: Some users are experiencing camera issues. If you are one of them back up you interenal sdcard and wipe it too! I have no problems taking pictures or viewing movies even with stock camera. Some of the movies taken while in stock or previous ROMs are incompatible with this ROM and they cause lots of issues. Start fresh and you shouldn't have any issus.

Damn, I hate it when Gapps doesn't stick! I'm getting this thing all booted up finally and glad the SU link in the OP fixed the root issue from yesterday's build.

Very fast, just gotta get Gapps to stick. Oh, Google shows up in the Add Account menu, but clicking it does nothing.

You'll have to plug it into a computer, turn it on by pressing volume up, down, and power button then boot it into download mode. From there you'll have to download odin for Samsung Galaxy SII. Then use it to flash stock back.

Here is the link to how to do all of this.

The important thing is that you get back into download mode. DO NOT LET YOU PHONE RUN OUT OF BATTERY OR YOU MAY LOSE IT!!!!

From what you simptoms are it sounds like you missed the part about needing TWRP 2.6.1.0 which could have brought back the evil data corruption bug. I've made the instructions VERY clear now that you must use TWRP 2.6.1.0 or ELSE!!!

This ROM gave me the best battery I've ever had on this phone. :)

What did you guys do to get Gapps to actually stick, and to have the Welcome screen on first boot? I've used both TWRP 2.6.1.0 and 2.6.3.1...something like that, but the two latest revisions. I've wiped various ways, even used the Infamous Cache and Data wipe flashable zips. But regardless of clearing dalvik bla bla bla I can't get the Welcome screen to show up.
