[ROM] [5.0] UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12 - DDK 1.8 topic

UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12 for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Introduction

I decided to put together this 5.0 ROM using the old graphics drivers for those of us who would like to try Lollipop, but need full camera functionality (i.e. barcode scanner apps, or any other app that uses the camera API). Video recording is still somewhat broken, but 1080p yields the best results with only a narrow green strip appearing on the edge of the frame.

Please note that you can NOT use any other kernels with this ROM!! I have added a number of additional features to the kernel including custom voltage, fast charge, and color adjustment so hopefully that will satisfy enough for the time being.

Features

- F2FS support for /data and /cache. System must be ext4.
- LegacyCamera app included
- Lower screen brightness during boot sequence
- Adjusted minfrees for better multitasking performance
- Netflix works
- All currently implemented CM features (AppOps, volume wake, etc)

Instructions

First flash:

Unlock & install a recovery
Wipe data & cache partitions
Flash CM-12
Install the Google Apps package
Reboot

Upgrade:

Make a backup in recovery
Wipe cache/dalvik-cache
Flash CM-12
Install the Google Apps package
Reboot

If you are using F2FS, boot will hang for a bit longer on the Google Logo before animation starts

Downloads

Latest build: see the downloads section under the thread title.

Google Apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/para...-apps-t2943900 - I use the modular-micro version because I prefer a more minimalistic approach, but this ROM is built WITHOUT dexpreopt, so you are free to use a larger package if you like.


Bugs

- charging text stuck on the lockscreen, offmode charging broken
- stock gallery won't play videos, use MX Player or similar
- can only send MMS using Verizon's official Messaging app from the Play Store. Other apps can only receive MMS.
- camcorder records video with green lines. Best results are with 1080p
- Google Play Movies & TV will not stream, but if you download the movie first it will play.
- gesture typing doesn't work on stock keyboard but does work on Google Keyboard
