r12 (JDQ39 / CM 10.1): MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROM for the Galaxy Nexus

[Guest PaulOBrien]

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom Jelly Bean ROM for the Galaxy Nexus! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know. ;)

About MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROMs

MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROMs are based on CyanogenMod nightly ROMs. While a MCR release is designed to feel like a stock ROM with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience and the aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device, a MoDaCo CyanogenMod Custom ROM blends the great tweaks and features of CyanogenMod with the goodness of a MCR to hopefully create a 'best of both worlds'.

Requirements

In order to use this ROM you must have a custom recovery installed. The ROM is installed at your own risk. A wipe IS recommended if coming from a ROM other than MCR or stock. BACK UP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLATION!

MCMCR Nexus ROM features Include... (many optional via the Online Kitchen) - check kitchen defaults for what is in the prebake:

• Based on CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies (the aim is to update the ROM every Friday), updated, rebuilt, compressed and optimised with the MCR build system.
  
  For this MCR we've compiled a CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly build, updated with all the latest versions of the installed apps, which we've run through our scripts to ensure that it is as optimised as possible both for install / download size and real life performance.
  
  
  • De-odexed... re-odexable.
    
    Our ROMs are de-odedex, giving you the ability to flash other mods over the top, tweak the system and generally get the system set up as you want it without worrying about odex issues. We also include the 'OdexMe' application, which lets you odex your system when you're ready, saving valuable space on your data partition.
    
    
    • Pre-rooted
      
      All MCR ROMs are pre-rooted with SuperSU preinstalled. In addition, the kitchen allows you to choose between secure, insecure and secure with patched ADB boot images.
      
      
      • Apps aren't disabled on boot
        
        Jelly Bean added a feature to disable apps on boot that aren't intended for your region (Wallet, Ears, Magazines etc.). I think we're smart enough to make that decision ourselves right? So that doesn't happen in a MCR.
        
        
        • Legacy Play Store
          
          Isn't it frustrating how Google removed the ability in the Play Store to see which apps you'd bought in a nice simple list? I thought so... so I created 'Legacy Play Store', which has this feature.
          
          
          • Legacy browser and Flash
            
            Google might be ditching the stock browser for Chrome and Adobe might have canned Flash, but we still need to use it sometimes... so it's included in a MCR.
            
            
            • Patched Google Wallet
              
              We've patched Google Wallet to remove all region and root checks, so you can have a play!
              
              
              • Facebook sync support
                
                Google removed all support for syncing contact information via the Facebook app, we put it back. It's basic support (an app like HaxSync is more fully featured) but hey, it works!
                
                
                • Alternative appstores (Amazon and SlideMe Market)
                  
                  The Amazon and SlideMe stores can be preinstalled, if that's where you like to purchased your wares.
                  
                  
                  • Titanium Backup preinstalled
                    
                    Once you've flashed your ROM, if you've wiped you want to get your stuff back on as quickly as possible - the option to preinstall Titanium Backup is here to help!
                    
                    
                    • MoDaCo Boot Logo
                      
                      Wear your MCR with pride with the MoDaCo boot logo. It can be disabled in the kitchen of course if you prefer the more subtle look.
                      
                      
                      • And there's more!
                        
                      We haven't listed everything here because a) there's too much and B) there's things we've forgotten. :)

                      MCMCR Galaxy Nexus ROM specific features Include... (many optional via the Online Kitchen) - check kitchen defaults for what is in the prebake:

                      [*]Trackball Alert Pro compatibility for custom notification LED colours

                      Trackball Alert by lilHermit lets you choose custom notification LED colours for ANY app, with no impact on battery life. We work closely with lilHermit to ensure TBA is supported in MCR.

                      [*]NFC on screen off

                      If you use NFC tags to set profiles or similar, then the option to enable NFC on screen off might appeal to you. Be aware that we haven't benchmarked the impact this may have on battery life as yet though!

                      [*]Toggle2G support

                      This ROM is compatible with Toggle2G by TheMasterBaron, which allows you to auto toggle 2G / 3G states. This is now included as an optional kitchen option.

                      [*]Stock Launcher with rotate support, Nova and Apex Launchers as options

                      The stock launcher, with support for Landscape. So simple! If you're an Apex or Nova fan however, you can choose these to be baked right in to your ROM.

                      [*]Disable camera shutter sound

                      You can disable the camera shutter sound - use responsibly!

                      [*]XXLH1 baseband

                      Ensure you're on the latest baseband by including it in your ROM.

                      Installation

                      To install this ROM:

                      [*]Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your sdcard.

                      [*]Restart your device in recovery mode

                      [*]PERFORM A BACKUP FROM THE MENU

                      [*]Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to the internal sd card! Remember that due to the 4.2 user changes, you may need to change to the '0' directory in recovery to find the zip!

                      If you have problems with Market licencing, check your device date!

                      First boot may take a while - be patient while it carries out it's pre-dexopt. It's worth it! :D

There may be a short wait while the load balancing software determines the best kitchen to serve your ROM. The kitchen should appear below within 20 seconds.

[Guest Chewy11]

Testing :-)

[Guest djmcnz]

Nice... you always seem have a way of getting me to renew my subscription Paul... ;)

Forgive me for not knowing, does CM (or MCR CM) have customisable navigation keys? Absolutely essential for me.

Edited January 23, 2013 by djmcnz

[Guest Chewy11]

Great so far, dirty flashed over Jr12.

Navigation keys are customisable!

What Kernel do you recommend Paul? CM stock? Franco's?

[Guest EddyOS]

NICE!! Going to flash over CM 10.1 and see what's going on :D

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Franco!

[Guest David Bate]

Downloading.. installing.. testing..

:D

[Guest djmcnz]

Navigation keys are customisable!

Thank you.

This is an excellent development Paul.

[Guest Sk1mble]

Hi Paul, great work.

Does the version of the Gallery in this support the sphere malarkey (i.e. the same as ModaCo)?

Also, is the Messaging app the stock one or the Cyanogen one? I understand that the Cyanogen one has quite a few extra features.

The kitchen allows you to select either the Google camera / gallery with Photosphere (the default) or the CM version.

The Messaging app is CM.

[Guest Sk1mble]

Thanks for your swift reply Paul. One more question; if I install Franco's kernel with his updater app should I do it before or after installing the new ROM, or doesn't it make any difference? I haven't messed around with the kernel before but since you recommend Franco I thought I should take the plunge.

[Guest PaulOBrien]

After!

P

[Guest Sk1mble]

Hi Paul. I'm not sure if I'm doing something derpy but I installed the latest stable Franco kernel, downloaded via Franco's app, and it caused my phone to lock up on the Google logo. Reinstalling the r3 update fixed the problem. Perhaps I shall leave well enough alone!

Download the latest nightly. There has been a lot of updates since the stable. also clean out the two cache's.. Fingers crossed, that should fix it.

Edited January 24, 2013 by David Bate

[Guest David Bate]

Very smooth with Franco. No issues noticed so far. Great job.

[Guest Chewy11]

Yup Franco Kernel is great so far, downloaded the app and used it to install latest nightly.

[Guest Drekus]

The LED notifications don't work for me, in the integrated Cyanogen menu nor in Lightflow.

Am I the only one ?

[Guest Chewy11]

I just tested Trackball Alert from the kitchen; it functions exactly as it did on MCR Jr12.

[Guest EddyOS]

Light Flow working fine here

[Guest eKeith]

Damn you Paul ;-)

Another day of flashing and tweaking. I swear my sweetheart is gonna drown my Nexus when I'm not looking...

[Guest Chewy11]

Odd drain from Bluetooth... that's been off all day, over 30% drain from it in battery stats.

Anyone else?

Question for Paul: What are you plans for NFC on MCMCRs?

Edit: Bluetooth has sorted itself out. Sorry. I know i should wait at least a few charge cycles before coming to conclusions.
