If you wanna brick Your smartphone then flash it...

Different video drivers & kernel for different GPU and different radio, bootloader...

You will brick Your Gnexus dude
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lagendbun:
i have try some other rom 4.4...

so far i like rom CM11(kitkang)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rstokc:
Try the omni based FML KitKat, it's smooth and mostly bug free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] basisforbart:
If it helps I am enjoying shiny rom 1/4/14. It has gotten rid of the graphical glitches and had good battery life. I have had only one reboot in the last two days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_hustler:
SlimKat is another good option. Glad that we are slowly moving towards stability in terms of KitKat roms. Now we can use the phone a little bit more i guess
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drwasilew:
Tried CM and LiquidSmooth ROMs. Both are stable and have very few issues and are improving everyday. Hopefully OMNI starts to become more stable soon. I want to try that multi window feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GiBo2pac:
vanir rom works well too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jensiehh:
Just look for a good 4.4 rom for Galaxy Nexus. The unofficial CM for example is very good. Flashing the Nexus 4 image will ruin your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juice3250:
Cm remix 4.4 is really awesome and stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dickxabre:
Do not flash it like this way.

It wont success and may be get a damage on your GNX.

If you want to try to run Android 4.4 on your GNX, there are lots of 3rd rom, like CM, AOKP, Slimkat...etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Larzzzz82:
Running the cyanogen 11 and am very impressed with it so far. Got the Xenon ROM sitting in memory and will flash that eventually.

I recently switched from Dalvik to ART, on Stock and Rooted (I can't get ART to work when I'm on a custom rom) and currently am unable to install apps from the play store... it just says "installing" infinitely.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexuus:
Same thing happened to me when I switched to ART, I even tried a third party app install, didn't work... I think its because some apps don't work with ART at the moment(whatsapp, pandora, etc.) I had to switch back to dalvik, and even then i couldn't install properly. I ended up restoring from a previous backup i made. What apps are you trying to install?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derukun:
Couldn't even initialize the download for a file manager... probably means I can't install my .apks either. Went back to dalvik, I'll wait it out for ART to become more widespread :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koreankabachy:
Hey guys... This was working for me but notice about a week ago that when I receive or make a call, the gear only shows the number... No name or pic from my contacts. When I look into contacts and call logs, I can see the names but if they call me, it only shows the number. Seems weird that the call log would show their name and also show in my contacts but not when I actually receive the call. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Using a Rooted note 2 w/beans 21
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
contact names appears for me, but it takes several seconds before they appear. yeah, annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Update to latest firmware and reset watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koreankabachy:
I'm running 1.2 which is the only one I believe working with note 2. Tried resetting watch and reinstalling gear manager 1.2.13
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koreankabachy:
I finally got this working and wanted to update Incase anyone has issues. I reloaded a Rom and my titanium backup reinstalled gear manager. Apparently something didn't install right and I lost my caller ID... No names or photos, just number. Uninstalling and reinstalling gear manager didn't work.

I actually had to go into titanium backup and uninstall all the gear programs... There are about a dozen of them and re-download the apk file. Reboot and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ryanrod:
Contact name not showing

I resolved this problem by removing all of my google accounts and then adding them again. Names now appear on calls and in messaging.

Let's try this: Reply to this thread ONLY if you actually got the OTA update in a normal over the air official goolgle provided distribution. That way we won't see 10,000 replies saying "No, I didn't get it" which might possibly have a "Yes, I did get it" embedded somewhere in the list, but no one can see it :).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorillaPimp:
I just updated to 4.4 yesterday, now battery life is horrible and tethering is broken. This is the weakest update I've seen since I moved to Android with the N1 launch. Other than the boot animation and a slight boost in wifi speeds I'm really not seeing any redeemable qualities in Kit Kat. I want to go back to 4.3 and block the OTA. What's the best way to do it? Is there any way to stay really close to stock rooted and do that? I'd prefer not to use any highly customized and buggy ROMs but if I have no choice I'll do what I have to.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
I'm no expert but surly this would be a case of using something like Wugtool kit and revert to stock, then simply unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery this will block the update.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorillaPimp:
I was already rooted and had a custom recovery on stock 4.3 but read that OTA would still be applied unless a custom kernel was installed or other major differences. I also couldn't tell whether the OTA will just fail and not be applied or if the error encountered would fubar my phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
as long u have custom recovery, the ota will still popup but no install, if i remember to block ota popup u need custom kernel

edit: the error on ota install would háppen b4 the ota would do anyting to the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you do know that you can not judge battery life from one or two of the first battery cycles with a rom, right? first boot is when the device does most of its syncing, and you will get the worst battery life. not until the 3rd or 4th battery cycle will you actually see what the battery life is really like. and tethering isnt broken, the default tethering option works fine. third part tethering apps could be broken in 4.4, until they fix things.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorillaPimp:
Thanks! What I needed to know.

I'll give it a few days on the battery unless it's out of control. My biggest concern was that it was charging at a slower rate. For the first 8 hours it couldn't do more than maintain current charge level while charging with my MBP. It seems to have overcome that now. I checked usage and couldn't see any heavy syncing.

Many thanks on the tethering. I was using stock tethering but couldn't get any traffic to get to the phone or past it but DHCP was working. After reading your comments I tried again, this time with another Android device and it worked. I want to say I had a similar problem before tethering a Win8 system so I will investigate that more.

Thanks again for all the replies. Really appreciate it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorillaPimp:
Update

I thought I was OK with KitKat until I saw the stock email app had been updated to look just like the awful Gmail app. K9 won't work with my exchange accounts so after failing to get the earlier stock email (4.1) to work in KitKat I went back to 4.3. After a week I got nagged by OTA alerts. For others in search of a fix for BLOCKING OTA UPDATES ON THE NEXUS 4, I BLOCKED OTA UPDATES by following this great thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1998378

I installed FOTAKILL, changed permissions, wiped the caches in recovery and renamed the otacerts.zip in /system/etc/security/ (using ES with root and mounting system with RW - plenty of other ways to do this) and no more hard update notification that you can't swipe away. There's a service manager you can try out also but reviews seemed spotty - read the linked thread for more info. Best of all I can use my phone and not be forced to use $h!tShat and I don't have to spend hours researching ROMs and kernel combinations and their respective bugs. Hope this info helps someone else. I couldn't get any hits searching for fixing the OTA problem with the N4 but the Nexus7 instructions have carried over to the N4 pretty well.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umrico:
Hey all,

I received a used T-Mobile HTC One a couple months ago (I am on T-Mobile in Miami). It came unlocked S-ON. I am a GE kind of guy and have yet to use Sense on it once. With all the firmware updates, I am wondering if it is time to upgrade the firmware as I am sure I am probably on old or original firmware. A couple of questions in particular I would like to address (and I have read on this for months but have yet to make the upgrade):

1) Pro's/Cons of T-mobile firmware vs GE firmware?

2) What is the real benefit of S-OFF exactly?

3) If I go the T-Mobile firmware upgrade with S-ON, am I going to be less likely to sell the phone on per say, SWAPPA or get less for it because I upgraded S-ON and hence have what I think is referred to as a locked H-Boot?

4) Lastly for the moment, what is the real benefit of the upgraded firwmare as I have yet to see any real change logs of any of these firmware updates?

Thank you in advance for any and all comments you have it is much appreciated!!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
3) Don't know

1 & 4) In theory updated firmware (and/or matching firmware and ROM version), should provide better stability, performance, battery life and remove any bugs it they existed. you are still on 1.xx so for example, the update to 2.xx introduced new touchscreen drivers which made the screen more responsive.

2) you are able to flash anything you want:

with an unlocked bootloader and S-ON, you can flash ROM, kernel, recovery, even radio

with S-Off (on top of above), you can flash unsigned firmware,

and

you are able to downgrade, even change CID and MID to any version you like, and make your phone (for example) a US Developer edition, an unbranded International version etc.

also with S-Off, you can remove TAMPERED from bootloader, set your phone LOCKED (otherwise only RELOCKED possible), and go back to 100% "out of the box" if you wish.

T-Mobile is just a GSM variant (so no need to think of it as T-Mob) and you can use pretty much any of the ROMs out there (oh if you use WiFi calling, then you have to check if it's supported in the ROM).

Hope that helps
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umrico:
Thank you very much!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umrico:
Thanks again. I decided to S-Off and super cid since I was at it. Upgraded firmware to 3.62.401.1. Can't say I notice the difference but I'm sure the latest and greatest from where I was and soff is a great thing. Thanks again!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Did you go directly from 1.xx to 3.62? I would recommend flashing 2.24 first and then 3.62, because I'm not sure the 3.62 contains the updated touchscreen drivers, so if you do the 2.24 first, you'll get the updated touchscreen drivers and then go to 3.62.

EDIT: or just check the 3.62 zip, if it contains the file "tp_SYN3202.img", those were the updated drivers in 2.24
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umrico:
I did go directly to 3.62. I *briefly* read and saw a comment that I dont need intermittent firmwares but that was only one comment so I took the chance.

Unfortunately, the zip does NOT have that file...I assume I should push it then? Thank you for your help!!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Download 2.24 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 and flash it in fastboot RUU mode

and then flash 3.62 again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umrico:
Thanks.

I see that Vomer has this file: - Touch panel Driver from firmware 2.24.401.1: http://d-h.st/lL4 but I cannot find anything on the web on how to install it. You have any idea by chance?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
I would just flash the 2.24 firmware complete and then the 3.62, easiest way in my opinion, won't take more than a minute or two.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umrico:
OK. I did it your way. I have had my fair share of flashing firmware hopefully for the next year as I hold my breath every time doing this with S-OFF. Thanks so much for all of your help!!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
no need to hold your breath, it's quite safe flashing firmware as long as you follow instructions (eg flash zip .... twice), and anyway with S-Off even if you semi-brick, you have a very high chance of unbricking.

i like [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION]'s firmware packages cause they have boot.img and recovery.img removed, so no need to reflash the ROM or custom recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umrico:
Agreed. Thanks again for all of your guidance!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
Depends what you want in a charger. If you were planing to get an external battery power pack this is a good 2 in 1.

Personally I wanted the smallest charger I could find. The LG puck was out off stock at Verizon and on eBay the one I found were shipping from China and Korea. So I went with the next best thing the Nokia DT-900 from AT&T store. I really like it, matte plastic, simple design just like the black N5, and not picky about positioning.

The only negative for me is the non standard wall AC adapter instead of micro USB input.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ghost_1:
I almost got the one in the youtube video then I found this one:

Click Here

It's $10 cheaper and 4000 mah more. Since the qi Chargers are usually charge at a rate of 70% efficiency (not to be confused with up to 70%), having the little bit extra battery is nice. I use it at work and it's nice to be completely wireless and it doesn't beep like most of the other wired chargers
