Enjoying the latest update. Everything is running great so far. Just found out google+ is incompatible with my device on the play store, but I'm wondering if that has to do with the gapps that I flashed. I tried clearing data on the play store and Google services, but still a no go. I'll try again with a fresh install and the standard gapps package and see if that solves the issue.

Thanks for the continued work, gonna have to update my n7 when I get home!

update: it seems if I bothered to use g+ more I would've know its been having compatibility issues lately.. Either way, it seems to be working now.

Hello, new Nexus 4 user here...

could somebody told me how to Flash gapps ? I was follow the instruction, flasht the ROM then gapp. but gapp not Installed. I just got Play Store and google search.

I download gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip but is not from http://goo.im/gapps, because its very slow to download. but it has exact same size and File Name, and its not corrupted. Weird.... :confused:

EDIT:

I already try several time to flash again using CWM, it still doesnt work, any suggest that I need to do something before flashing gapps ?

SOLVED

I got the answer for this.. its clear now, thanx.

Strange. Try this package, same as the one you're trying to install. https://mega.co.nz/#!u9BSDAqA!eZz0dY5_aK_f6O71RyfE_VnZ220HprOuylIQrzWrdrI
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sabrezoo:
Thanx for your reply. Downloading now.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
I'm running the last update and G+ is working for me and i can install it

try new gapps
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
There's a known issue with G+ at the moment. Google are working on it. It's the same for all devices and all ROMs, even stock ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ameinild:
Sentinel, thanks for the update, looking forward to try it. Can you provide an unsecure boot.img for use with this ROM? Or can I flash the stock unsecure boot.img and still use it with this ROM? Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sorry mate. I don't want to distribute the boot.img seperately as a flashable zip because it's too much extra work to support it on top of all the ROMs I already do.

The stock boot.img wont work with my rom.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] GAME ON:
Nice update sentinel..really love this rom..but can u attach or sent me the kernel itself..so that i can revert back to ur kernel if i wanna try other kernel..can u sir?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ameinild:
Thanks for the prompt reply. I now realize that the boot.img also contains the kernel, so that makes sense... I'll stick with the provided boot.img, and I'll live with a secure boot image for now :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] tourlek:
open lockscreen is lag -..-!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sounds like maybe you haven't installed properly.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] direwolf1:
Or maybe you have lmt enabled? I tried lmt and got horrible lag. So I uninstalled it and everything is super smooth.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
LMT shouldn't be causing "horrible lag". No such issue on any of my test devices, or for any of my beta testers.

The ROM is now available for 8 different devices and in 99% of cases, these kinds of problems are coming down to the instructions not being followed properly when flashing the ROM.

I'm not saying it isn't possible there is a different problem in some cases, but I am unable to reproduce any issues with lock screen lag or any other lag for that matter when doing a proper fresh install using the method in the instructions so I urge people to closely follow the installation instructions as the first step when troubleshooting any problems.

Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] tourlek:
app touch control n4 no work ^^!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ameinild:
I just installed v4.50. So far it seems the "Reboot menu" is not working - even if reboot menu is checked, it just reboots the phone with no option to boot recovery or bootloader.

(I just found out that it's because you need to check advanced reboot menu in developer, which got restored with all my settings. :) )

Update: I restored all my data (by restoring my backed up /data partition from CWM, which seems to work perfectly btw) and now *everything* seems to be working, including the boot menu... :confused:

The only thing I had to do manually was reinstall/update the Xposed framework and restore my latest SMS messages - I can't tell the difference, except the new v4.50 is extremely fast and smooth - thanks Sentinel! :cool:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
You didn't read the FAQ before asking...

Developer Options - Advanced Reboot.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ameinild:
Yeah I'm sorry... :o Actually I did read the FAQ earlier, but I obviously forgot that part... However, it's working great!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sabrezoo:
SORRY, NOOB Question on Nexus 4 Device.

How to enable USB Mass Storage? can we have it? I don't like this MTP mode.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Google are done with Mass Storage mode as the phone can't access the storage at the same time as the PC. It's no longer supported, but there are a few mods out there that enable it.

All the ones I've tested are buggy though.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
The kernel packed with this ROM, does it have the Prima WiFi drivers? Also Sweep2Wake?

Umm, never mind. Found it out myself.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] littlej:
Hy, can you please share it? i cannot find any details about WiFi drivers. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] smoka206:
I like this ROM, I am coming from carbon, I was on Cabon for about 2 months. This ROM is fast, I didn't think I would notice the difference, but its very noticeable. Has less extras than carbon but all the ones I use. I will sticking with this one for a while, I paired it with the joker kernel and its awesome. Thanks for your work, it is much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zlatan9.:
I agree beste rom experience ever !! I hope he keep this up to date
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
No plans to discontinue any time soon :)

You guys are really respectful and helpful in this thread, unlike some of the others.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
It doesn't have those.

I'm using Air Kernel now.

This is the first ROM I'm using after stock which doesn't have jerky scrolling! Great job!

[Nexus 4 Android Development] PugRallye:
Hi,

I've been using the Sentinel ROM on my Galaxy S2 (i9100) for a while now and love it.

However, I had the itch for a new phone and part of my decision in choosing an N4 (aside from cost) was this ROM.

I'll be unlocking and rooting it at the weekend so I can install Sentinel - can't wait!

Thanks for all your hard work - it really is appreciated...

PS: I've been recommending your ROM to world+dog :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
THanks mate! Enjoy the N4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
i really hope for this rom to be my next daily driver...!! lets see.....
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Scaplet:
Great ROM Sentinel. Please excuse my ignorance, I know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous to myself :) When I try some CM10.1 themes, they always talk about missing resources and screen resolution. Why is this, and do you plan on adding more cosmetic capabilites? Such as these themes I'm referring to, or flip fonts.

Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] galeej:
thanks for this ROM.. this is amazing on Nexus 4...good work and waiting for next major update..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Hi mate.

I dont have any plans for further cosmetics at this stage, but there are plenty of Mods out there which work with CM10.1.

Themes are a little bit buggy in CM10.1 based ROMs.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] smakked:
Nice rom mate, used it my SGS3 but now a nexus 4 , any chance of putting the mod in to change Nav Bar height ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] shinkinrui:
Hi there, just wanted to drop a post and say thanks for this ROM! Seems great so far, looking forward to seeing how my battery does at work tomorrow. I'm a new nexus 4 user and was a little put off by battery life on the previous ROM the guy I got it from left on the phone for me.

Also, I don't know if I did something wrong with flashing Google apps, but for some reason my Google search app kept crashing anytime I tried to use voice recognition. I did follow the correct instructions in the op twice, making sure I wiped dalvik, cache, and system, but to no avail. I wound up uninstalling Google search with an app manager with root permissions and reinstalled from the play store, that solved it, so if anyone else runs into it, try that.

Thanks again for the ROM! Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] caloyskii23:
[QUOTE=If installing for the first time:

To install this ROM you will need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery such as TWRP or ClockWorkMod installed (personally I recommend TWRP, I have had issues with restoring backups using CWM).

Copy the downloaded SentinelROM zip to your Internal Storage.

Boot into your custom recovery

Back up your stock ROM

Factory Reset and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

Wipe system partition

Install the ROM

Install GAPPS package

Reboot - First boot may take up to 5 minutes[/QUOTE

Hi Mates,

Already did a lot of back reads and saw a lot of great reviews about V4.6.

My first time to be installing roms (coming from the 4.1.2 stock). just have installation questions:

- Where and how will I use TWRP or CWM? I understand that these 2 are for Recovery? Which one is better?

- If ever the 4.2.2 Official Firmware becomes available, which i doubt, and i decided to go back to Stock 4.1.2 to be able to take advantage of the official OTA Update, can i still do that?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
you just need to update your Google Search and Google Now apps using the play store.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] garth719:
I love the ROM, just what I was looking for.. Shall update post with predicted positive results

Edit:

Its the ****. Works as advertised. Sadly I don't feel the need to continue flashing ROMs. Like stock theres no lag but with all the options of cyanogenmod. Only bug I had was Apollo force closures every once in a while. But I use power amp. My battery hasn't run out yet but I'm at 78% after 8 hours and 1 hr screen time
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Glad you're enjoying it!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zlatan9.:
I'm liking this rom so much almost 1 week my daily driver.

but why has all the devices that you support get a update to 4.60 and the mako not?

Thanks for this brilliant rom!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
our dev has a dozen of different devices to maintain..if you look at his website you will see a weekly plan about updating all these devices...

im sure that our mako will not be excluded.. we just have to show a bit patience... :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DontPushButtons:
And 4.5 is only a week old lol. Frankly I'm surprised there even IS an update. :P
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
v4.60 is here :)

28/05/2013:-

v4.60 -

*Compiled with Linaro toolchain for a huge performance boost.

*Updated to latest Mali graphics drivers for improved performance and stability.

*Updated to latest CM10.1 source (Android 4.2.2)

*Fixes to Camera

*Fixes to Apollo

*Fixes to Clock

[NOTE: You must wipe your System and Dalvik caches after upgrading. GAPPS Must be re-installed after updating. Please view the instructions here.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
Precisely. I thought next update would take a month..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I rolled out the next update almost immediately because of the new Mali drivers. The next update will be a while longer.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
Ohh so finally v4.60 released for n4... Didn't get any OTA updates thou?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
OTA is no longer supported since v4.50.

If you had installed v4.50 following the instructions and done a system wipe, the OTA app would have been removed.

Instead I now have a notifier app I've written to tell when there is a new version to download.

Too many people were doing the OTA update without following instructions and then complaining about problems, so I had to move away from it. Sorry :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
Hooooollllyyy sh!t

I have to download and install manually it seems...that's a no go my friend

Also, why a complete wipe :( each new ver. Will require a complete wipe? We did that when updating from 4.41 to 4.50... Now a cplt wipe from 4.50 to 4.60? :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Dude calm down! lol

You only needed to do a complete wipe when going from 4.40 to 4.50, or from 4.40 to 4.60. Not if going from 4.50 to 4.60.

It was because of the new enhancements.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
See I had to freakout I thought I had to do a complete wipe from 450 to 460 Lol..

OK thanks installing now :P :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Just wipe your caches and you'll be good to go :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
Will do thanks mate.. Always my favor ROM.. Will donate soon once I setup my PayPal :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Sounds good!

You can also use credit card if you prefer. no need for a paypal account :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
You took smoothness to a new level. Wow.

Sentinel, did you make some changes to pie controls in the latest release? Pie activation margin seems to have increased.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Roshi69:
I change ROM's all the time and am loving this ROM.

Is there any way I can adjust the status bar transparency?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
There's a mod in the OP
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
Umm, I didn't do the system wipe. I thought system partition gets formatted during flash? Is it that I've been flashing Gapps and Emoji keyboard for no reason because I don't wipe system? :o

I still have the OTA app, what should I do?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PugRallye:
Found the time to unlock and root my phone at the weekend with the express intention of installing this ROM and I'm liking it as much on the N4 as I did on the GS2 I had before.

Excellent work.

Out of interest - how/can I uninstall the Pie Control stuff?

Only thing I'd say, is please keep it simple, clean and light - less is very much more...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
About the pie control it is hardcoded into the Rom..the only easy way is to deactivate the pie action.. except if you would like to dig into the code..! !

sent from a nexus device
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PugRallye:
Thanks - I'll just do that then - no biggie...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] anasmonster:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Do a full wipe including system and data partitions and reinstall.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
Too much work to re-setup everything. Removing OTA app using TiBu won't help?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
That didn't work, I had to do clean install
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
I can't offer support if you don't follow the instructions.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bdubs4200:
any mirrors for gapps?? seems like its down ATM... :-/
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
GAPPS for CM10.1
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bdubs4200:
oh haa lol *facepalm*... thought maybe it was a special rom specific pack for some reason... thanks man. flashing now
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
Umm, let it be then. A complete wipe would mean downloading the games again which are HUGE.

The OTA app anyway does no harm and you post info about updates here :)

Wait a second.. Something is wrong here.

I started using this ROM *since 4.50*. So everything is alright for me I guess?

This is the app I have

And I obviously did a complete wipe before installing 4.50.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
That's the correct app. It's a notifier only.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
Heh. Confusion at it's best.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
LOL all good!

The OTA app used to let you download and instll updates, but unfortunately too many people were dirty flashing as a result and having issues, so I replaced it with thisnnew notifier app. it tells you when there is an update available so you can download it and flash it manually.

I did a poll on my Facebook page and most people were happy ith it as a solution as only about 10% of people were actually using the OTA updater, but those 10% of people were making up nearly 80% of the people ahving problems.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] darkdhanil:
I have a problem. This ROM does not connect to Edge or 3G. It does connect to cellular signal and I can make calls and receive but no data.

Please help me resolve that because this ROM is awesome. My carrier is a Puerto Rico one but the phone is unlocked.

Have you checked APN settings? It works fine for me, but I'm neither in your country nor it is the same provider.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
i am having the same problem with you....but my apn settings are fine... :/
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
It's possible your region or provider requires a different modem.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] darkdhanil:
Now every time I end a call , the mobile data in settings pops up. Every time.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] devang98:
It works fine in my country - India :good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gamepr:
What company? It would help if you know someone that had the same carrier than you so you cab check his APN settings.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
the phone gets reallllyyy hot while charging and even while not charging.. if I left it unlock for 3 mins or so it gets really really hot!

is that related to your ROM by any mean?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
i have noticed in a greek thread (myphone) other people who had the same problem... regardless rom. we all have the same carrier....so...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Absolutely not normal. There's something hogging cpu on your device.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
I don't have any unusual app,is there is a way to check my CPU?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
You should be and to see from your battery States what's causing it, buy my advice I'd to fresh install with a system partition wipe.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
It is a fresh install

Here's a screenshot of my battery
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
normaly on previous ROMs (4.50) my screen usage was 35% max

on this rom its 50+ %

no idea why tho
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
Anyone facing issues with pie controls (cm default )? Randomly stops working.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Can you share the exact steps you took when installing the ROM to achieve a "Fresh install"?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
Ok, I had 4.50 and did like you said installed 4.60 with clearing cache only, but that didn't work and the rom was so messed up and missing galery and camera...

So I deleted everything (wipe data/reset factory, wipe partition cache, wipe dalvik cache)

then installed 4.60 and gapps
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
You didn't wipe the system partition
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AmgedOsman:
well i just did that when 4.50 was released, do I need to do it again with 4.60?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
If you're having a problem that others are not, a full wipe is always the best thing to do.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] borsa1994:
Guys, do you know why maps is at the first place?

And, how to remove it?

Thank you in advance

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ameinild:
Try killing the Maps app?? Or reboot..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] devang98:
hey did you remove your music player from 4.6 as I did not see that , and it was a great addition to the rom
[Nexus 4 Android Development] borsa1994:
I have already try to kill maps, reboot and set off the location service.. But nothing to do!

Inviato dal mio Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sentinel196:
Yeah. I did a poll on Facebook and established that not many people were using it, so I removed it to remove bulk from the ROM.

it was also an early version of a project I haven't yet finished and had a few bugs. I'll include it again when it's finished :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] devang98:
cool, if you can give me the mod I can install and help you in beta testing :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] slubo:
must be a stupid Q but...

SGS2 - flashed sentinelrom 4.6....works smoothly...many thanks...I cannot find the option how to delete ALL my enries in "people" (contacts). I don't see the 3 dots menu icon and in the bottom left corner touching "menu" there is not any option to select ALL contacts and "delete".

your help is much appreciated
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
go to gmail from your desktop pc choose contacts instead of gmail

under the logo of google at the left top corner and then select all your contacts and press delete...

( before doing that create a Vcard in case of needing them)

now that you have deleted them go to settings choose google account then contacts and press sync now. there will be no contacts to sync/display
[Nexus 4 Android Development] JmPTaz09:

deleting all contacts how?

the point is that I don't sync my contacts nor calendar with GOOGLE...I sync the phone with OUTLOOK 2010 on my pc.

How is the battery life on this compared to the original xm10

sorry, for me it was quite obvious...in any case I still don't know how to manage this issue. I'd like to avoid to go to my outlook contacts folder bckp it then delete then sync forcing outlook on phone then import the bckp contacts and then sync again...sounds like quite complicated and time consuming..any idea?

tx a lot
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mr_Comple:
as for the battery life is the same and honestly i can say i little better than the CM10.1 defenitely worth a try..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] direwolf1:
Dirty flash the rom? That will restore the kernel but you'll also have to flash gapps and any mods again. I haven't seen a kernel zip for this ROM's default , but i also haven't looked super hard.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nileshgr:
Sentinel, please check on pie controls (cm). It stops working randomly and it is very irritating. I use the phone always in expanded desktop mode because I don't like those buttons. :(

Do this ROM include Delta OTA updates as Google provide for the Stock ROM?
