SMH, and I just loaded up ParandoidAndroid and it's lacking the features this one has.

jhawkkw · November 24th, 2012, 04:03 PM

OP updated with pictures.

I just tried this out. Its really smooth! The only thing I don't like is the black backgrounds. Great ROM though!

I guess it's a matter of personal taste because I love the black backgrounds, and they're slightly better for your battery. I've gotten amazing battery life on this rom today. I'm a power user and after almost 10 hours off the charger with just over 4 1/2 hours of screen time and still at 35 percent. Some of that is the big battery, some of that is the rom because on JBSourcery, I couldn't get 4 hours of screen even on the full charge, let alone 2/3 of a charge.

What size battery? 3800?

jhawkkw · November 25th, 2012, 07:44 PM

yep, 3800. The added thickness is worth the extra juice. Functionality over vanity.

Haha yeah just different strokes. It's still a very responsive ROM and that is what I care about most. Xenon just released their first 4.2 ROM and I tried that out. Its very nice as well.

DWasilew · November 26th, 2012, 09:32 AM

I'm giving this ROM a try. I've been wanting to try out 4.2 and the inverted background look for a while and like how this one has them built in.

jhawkkw · November 27th, 2012, 11:30 PM

Update for 4.2.1 incoming, will update op in the morning.

DWasilew · November 28th, 2012, 10:40 AM

This guy is quick. I like that.

jhawkkw · November 28th, 2012, 12:13 PM

OP updated, 4.2.1 build one is live

~~SweatyPits~~ · November 28th, 2012, 07:22 PM

can you change nav bar icons yet on this rom?

jhawkkw · November 28th, 2012, 07:26 PM

unfortunately not at this point. only customizations at the moment are change battery/signal icons, cm toggles, and cm theme manager.

Try the Fitsnugly AOKP 11/28 build if you want all those options.

Dmeeks90 · November 29th, 2012, 12:05 AM

I installed this and now my backup is gone

xintensex · November 29th, 2012, 04:53 AM

Is there any inverted apps for this rom? Thx

Did you update your custom recovery prior to installing a 4.2 rom? If not 4.2 screws up your file system so that cwm or twrp can't see them, but they are still there.

Yes, the gapps are inverted by default.

DWasilew · November 29th, 2012, 10:47 AM

Also, there is a inverted Google Now on the ROM forums. Check it out. It's pretty cool.

do you have the link for the updated twrp?

jhawkkw · November 29th, 2012, 06:06 PM

Download the goo manager beta app from the market. Give it root, hit the options and then install open recovery script. It will auto flash the lasted version.

TexDaddy57 · December 1st, 2012, 11:56 AM

Every time I have tried Eclipse, the My Verizon app would not work. Is this fixed yet? As soon as it is, I am off sourcery and back on this. Best battery life of any rom I have used!!
Thanks!!

If I remember correctly, in order to use any Verizon apps on the Galaxy Nexus, you need the Verizon login app. This is the entry for it on the play store, but it can't be downloaded anymore it seems. If you find it else where, you should be able to side load it.

DWasilew · December 19th, 2012, 11:29 AM

Still waiting on the next build. Word on the street is it's going to be epic.

I'm asking this question here because the app was on the eclipse forum, I'm just wondering if anyone could answer it. I flashed the inverted Google Now, that one of their members themed, through recovery. Looks great, but it is not the latest version and I get an update prompt in the app. However, when i go to update, it has an error because it is not signed properly. My question is, how can I uninstall the inverted GN and download the current version since I cannot uninstall like a regular app. Would I just flash Gapps again, then update from there or would I have to something trickier?

jhawkkw · December 21st, 2012, 01:32 PM

Build 2 is up, still waiting on the changelog and md5s

DWasilew · December 21st, 2012, 01:35 PM

Downloading. Can't wait.

Logank · December 21st, 2012, 07:19 PM

Searching for a change log. I really liked the first 4.2 but was waiting on more features so I'm currently running xenon. If there are those few more features I'll be downloading soon.

TexDaddy57 · December 21st, 2012, 09:50 PM

Back on Eclipse. Sourcery 4.0 was too buggy for me this go round. This build 2 is smmooothe!! Only thing I miss is to change my nav buttons from icons to words.
Nitro has gone up and over again...still...again??!!

I will edit the log once it gets posted. This new build has a lot of new features added. Nav bar edits, lock screen targets, quick pin, clock format, performance edits, and more. Stuff that is considered standard mods I suppose, but without all the battery drain or bugginess. No rom gives better battery life than this one for me. I love all of Sourcery's mods, but the price in battery isn't worth it to me.

Logank · December 22nd, 2012, 12:43 AM

Sweet. Guess I'll download it and flash soon, probably tomorrow or later this weekend.

You can manually do it yourself. It's not that hard. Just need 7zip and the icons from whatever rom you wish to use. Copy and paste and push to the phone. Voila. I do it with a certain set of Icons I use on the ROMs I prefer.

DWasilew · December 23rd, 2012, 04:37 PM

Does anyone know how to get photosphere to work. The option for it is not in the camera options.

jhawkkw · December 24th, 2012, 04:25 PM

Build 3 is close to be uploaded. Nitro ran into an issue with the contacts app, but once that gets sorted out, it should be good to go.

Logank · December 25th, 2012, 12:29 AM

I flashed build 2 , but liked the couple extra things better in xenon so I restored my backup. I'm going to keep checking up on eclipse though, I feel like it could be a new favorite sometime.

jhawkkw · December 25th, 2012, 08:02 AM

Merry Christmas from Nitro, Build 3 is up. It appears dev host might be having problems because I've tried to download but it keeps timing out.

DWasilew · December 26th, 2012, 02:36 PM

Flashed build 3r1 this morning. So far so good. I like when he pairs the ROM with Leankernel. I seem to get better battery life and the whole ROM just feels that much more smooth and responsive.

Indeed. Leankernel + Eclipse = Mega Win

jhawkkw · January 3rd, 2013, 10:07 PM

Build 4 is up

DWasilew · January 4th, 2013, 10:12 AM

I was excited about a new build until I saw the changelog. I didn't have the contact issue, I don't use Facebook, and I use Nova Launcher. I was hoping for some more status bar mods, like change the transparency, but other than that, I am completely happy.

jhawkkw · January 14th, 2013, 03:39 PM

Fixed the link, sorry for it being broken. Not sure if we're going to see any builds for a while since it seems Nitro has shifted his focus to the S3.

DWasilew · January 16th, 2013, 09:39 AM

I hope he keeps at least a once a month update for the Toro, but I'm happy with build 4. Stable, lots of features, and good battery life, so I can't complain.

Edit: According to the forums, it looks like build 5 will be coming. Yay!
