Install atom422 in Galaxy Nexus

I’ve been using atom422 ROM with Ak Kernel for a week now, and I must say this is the best ROM/kernel combo I had in my Galaxy Nexus. And it’s underclocked!

I will be using atom422 v9 and Ak Kernel 731.

Backing up your device

Backup using Titanium Backup
Backup Nova Launcher settings
Backup SMS using SMS Backup & Restore
Reboot into recovery (I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.3)
Backup (backup and restore > backup)
Go into “install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard” just to guarantee that ClockworkMod Recovery is accessing the storage
Plug the phone into a computer (I’m using Ubuntu 12.10, and have already android-sdk)

Go into your android-sdk tools folder

1cd Android/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/

Go into adb shell and list the directories in your “sdcard” to decide what to backup
```
1sudo ./adb shell
2ls /data/media/0
3exit
```

Pull all the directories you want to backup

1sudo ./adb pull /data/media/0/examplefolder sdcard/examplefolder

The previous example will create a sdcard folder in your tools folder with the data folder pulled from your phone

Change the owner of the pulled folders

1sudo chown -R youruser:youruser sdcard

You can also backup using FTP for example. I normally use WellFTP Server.

I started using Ak Kernel after installing Xylon, as I talked about in my previous post.

I will show how to install Ak Kernel coming from another kernel an how to simply update Ak Kernel when a new version is released.

You can also read the kernel FAQ here.

Ak Kernel

Ak Kernel comes in two flavors:

Purity edition, the stable version
Cylon edition, a experimental branch

I was having problems in AOKP, so I decided to try a different ROM and a different kernel.

I’ve decided to go with Xylon and Ak Kernel.

What is Xylon?

“A Generally based of many kinds of features around the Android Development and fits into minimal customization. It may act up like AOKP, but totally not at all. Overall, we’re still in work in progress state of changing the base to slightly minimal like FNV before. This ROM is built off with GCC 4.7, O3, Linaro Strings enabled. (Galaxy Nexus Kernel, fusion with anarkia’s horn, O3 and Linaro GCC 4.7.3 enabled.).” from xda-developers
