The main idea behind SuperNexus is to provide stock Android experience, just like how Google intended it to be. SuperNexus is entirely built from Google's AOSP source. A lot of improvements and optimisations 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 the CyanogenMod Team and the OmniROM Team, without them this ROM was not possible. Huge shoutout to DigitalOcean for providing us access to their excellent VPS services, which has cut down our compile time from 2 hours to just 30 minutes.

Silly question since all these days I have been flashing Rom and gapps and now planning to give this phone to my parents who don't know a thing about internet so just installing Rom without gapps phone will be functional correct me if I am wrong what issues I might face if gapps not installed. Than you for the great Rom faryaab.

Flashed but I can't figure out how to change the options to show what options you can add from the pull down screen.
Is it possible to change/add/delete any of these options on this screen?

I was on cwm 6.0.4.4 standard and it worked fine. I did not have the touch version installed. After flashing it is 6.0.4.5 standard version installed.

you need to have the latest CWM recovery installed, usually people do this by just flashing the latest CM 10.2 nightly (that's what I do) lol. I have one sitting on my SD card most of the time. Afterwards, just reboot INTO recovery, do a complete wipe, then install the ROM =D

First of all thank you the awesome Rom, I had few issues.

1. Trying to shoot a video freezes the camera every time.
2. Charged fully and left it stand by and it drained to half in 2 hours just sitting in stand by and it almost 4 hours to fully charge from 20%.
3. For some reason I have a home and home3 launcher and I set home as default and when I restart it switches to home3 launcher and even the listing in settings has moved up/down.
4. Animations are too slow.

I don't have CM 10.2 nightly but I have SuperNexus-3.0-i777-BUILD1
Do you know what the CWM version of this ROM is?
If it is higher than 6.0.3.2, I will try to flash it first before I flash SN 4.0
Currently I'm on SN 2.0
Thanks.
