[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skttrbrain:
I guess I just don't like spending good money on things that are broken and can be freely replaced, but each to their own.

Does it bother you? If so, then yes. I think you should either way, because even if it doesn't bother you yet, it will play on your mind. You didn't pay for a broken one, even if the defect seems slight!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neejay:
I don't quite get how spending $400+ and expecting something to be exactly what you paid for is classified as "picky". Maybe you were raised with a silver spoon or something, but this isn't a $10 eBay purchase.

I wasn't "bothered" at all with a simple phone call to Google for my free replacement.

To each his own though.

CyanogenMod disclaimer

Now, I am NOT a developer, I did NOT make or contributed to CyanogenMod development. I am just a user that wants to have a preview of KitKat with the CyanogenMod goodies I'm already used to.

This is the genuine original CyanogenMod 11 source code compiled by me, with no additions or modifications.

Feel free to share and mirror this file and to press :good: THANKS if I helped you!

This ROM was compiled on 2013-11-21

Just download the zip, wipe data and cash, and flash it. You should be able to flash this over another CyanogenMod installation, but it's not sure. I have tested this on my Nexus 4, coming from a CM10.2 nightly, and it worked.

Anyways, as over mentioned, I have no responsability for anything that could happen using the file I provide.

Thanks to Raum1807 for making a thread on how to build your own CyanogenMod 11.0 ROM from sources for the Nexus 4.

As gapps you can use the PA Gapps

Hi just a quick question, just wondering what the tell tale signs of corrupt efs is. I'm a noob about this and seek knowledge, reason I ask is I reflashed stock over stock just because I had battery issues and relocked bootloader etc. But do not have a backup efs, what signs should I look out for if there is any issues.

Thanks

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totally-not-me:
I just got the OTA update to Android 4.4, and being eager to get it installed, hit the install button right away. I told a few people I was going to be a few minutes while installing the update... and tapped the button.

That was three hours ago, roughly.

I'm on a rooted nexus 4 with CWM Touch edition installed as a recovery. I don't know exactly what version right now but it was the latest when I installed it a few months ago.

The install launched CWM, and I waited as the loading bar filled. Right at the end it gave an error message - in a panic I didn't take note of what it was, hit the onscreen buttons and went through a window telling me I might have lost SU permissions - which I told it to fix. The startup animation (with four dots, the new 4.4 animation I guess?) started... and continued for more than five minutes.

I was still panicking and instantly launched back into CWM, downloaded a (I think correct, checked it multiple times, as on does...) update zip from the web, and flashed it via adb sideload. This gave me an "Error 7" and a failed install. I tried again, same result. Then gave up and hit the restart button in the hope that one of the attempts had indeed worked...

I now have a Nexus 4 sitting on my desk playing a nice dotty animation, and it's been doing that for fifteen minutes as of now. I'm intending to leave it as such hoping that it will actually turn on and it's just having a very long boot.

So, the question. Anyone have any ideas how to save my Nexus?

I'd rather like to end up with the data on the device intact (stupidly did not back up before installing and can't get any files off it until an install works) and possibly with Android KitKat running on it, as was the original aim of tonight, but if neither are possible, I'd at least like to end up with a functioning phone... just with any stock rom.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I'm not new to flashing ROMs manually - my last phone was a ZTE Blade which never ran any ROM well, so I must have flashed on that phone at least ten times, including via ADB.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totally-not-me:
Ignore the above - I fixed the problem by using fast boot to flash the stock rom from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images ....

I feel really stupid now. But it worked perfectly. All I did was open the flash-all.sh and copy the commands out line by line, but removing the -w from the final command to dodge wiping the device. Anyone confident in Terminal or similar should be fine :D

Sorry for the thread being created but I really thought I couldn't fix this xD
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thankyousam:
Your post saved me from a complete wipe and reinstall, so thank you for sharing your fix. I had a very similar issue but my Status 7 appeared to be because of my previous root and the new install not being able change the permissions on some /system files. :D

Now I just need to re-enable root via the NRT.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethrat:
at least you've learnt something. Ota updates will always fail if you have any cwm recovery installed. Not like it hasn't been discussed before. Guess you won't be making that mistake again.

Can't say anything makes be panic not like nexus devices are hard to recover ☺
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thankyousam:
To be fair, there are several posts around where people have simply updated their version of CWM and then reported the 4.4 upgrade has worked. I think I must have used the OTA Rootkeeper before as I don't recall these issues (other than losing root) during the 4.3 upgrades. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokitez:
I'm in a similar boat.

My wife accepted the OTA update with TWRP installed and ended up in a boot loop. We didn't care about the data on the device, so thinking I could start from scratch, I did an Advanced Wipe of everything in TWRP. Now the phone has no OS on it.

I tried doing an adb sideload KitKatNexus4.tgz, but it gives me an error of a corrupted .zip every time.

I'm stumped.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethrat:
Not blaming you xda has almost become useless in terms of finding real info in the past week. Bombardment of repeated posts about 4.4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Sideloading is only for flashable zip packages, not official factory images that required using fastboot. Use the guide links in my signature for instruction to flash factory image.

Or you can use sideload to flash flashable stock roms: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527806

Unless your wife is really into flashing, I suggest just leaving it everything stock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickyBO89:
where did you find these posts? the only thing that I'm reading is people constantly saying "CWM will break OTA" or "you can't flash OTA with custom recovery" (this is clearly wrong)

I have the latest CWM recovery (6.0.4.3) and I don't want to lose it or flash stock recovery and CWM back. with 4.3 I remember that everything went good and I didn't have a lot of problems, the only thing I had to do was to unroot before flashing the OTA from CWM... but this time I'm reading a lot of conflicting posts so I'm a bit worried to try this by myself without some sort of feedback from any other user :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It will softbrick the device, or atleast fail. I don't even have to try CWM, but with TWRP, if I make any changes to the /system partition it failed. I suggest you just flash a stock 4.4 rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010887
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howie5469:
Hi, has anyone else had a problem with screen lock/ unlock sounds, can't remember which one was not working, but even when checked in sound settings menu, one did not work. Also, the Superuser app had a problem with the UI, where you could not scroll across the display from one tab to another at the top of the window and sometimes you could not manually select the tab by tapping on it. Gone back to mildwild 5 until an update to 14 that solves all bugs appears. Thanks all!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackjones123:
When my superuser app updated itself all those problems you described were fixed, so try updating

Another bug I found in camera was when you try and change the brightness of the shot it force closes app.

One more is when reading text messages it sometimes flickers white/black.

Apparently he is working on a new rom for us, Can't wait! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awkland:

Mildwild 14 update

Some requests to the Great Mildwild.

Unfortunately I'm so satisfied that I've posted too few posts to post in MW forum.

I'm using Redux2 mod from 2012, then moved to Mildwild10, finally to MW14.

Quick settings menu:

- could you add rotation features that's the only feature lacking?

Phone application:

- it seems to be slower to appear when ringing like it were with a low priority

- the bigmouth is not so funny, could you get back a standard face?

Gmail app:

- unread messages are not differentiated, it seems that the bold characters are missing

General:

I'm experiencing some slef reboot, but I'm not able to understand if it's caused by any app or OS.

My experience is that the launcher negatively affects the mod.

Personally I use Holo Launcher instead of Xperia, that was tricky on all version.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

Nor do I, never experienced such problems.

After modding with MW 14 and restoring through Titanium Backup, I had to wipe camera data. You can try.

I prefer ICS Camera and Gallery that were used in original Redux and got from the market.

The ICS Camera is more flexible, quick access to setup and less iOS style.

The ICS Gallery is less show, but thumbnails appera more clear on small screens.

Bluetooth A2DP

Hello, I'm using this rom for 3 weeks and it's working properly for me, but recently I've trying to use a new bluetooth car hands free device and it works properly for calls, but whenever I try to use it's A2DP feature to listen my phone's music with my car radio speakers, it doesn't work. My phone's music Player doesn't stream music through bluetooth, it only uses phone's speakers. Does anybody know if there's something that must be done to stream music through bluetooth, or the problem is that this feature is not really working in this rom? Any solution?

Once the rom is installed, a step I usually take soon is the upgrade of busy box. More than once it has helped me to vaporize strange behaviors.

Thanks for the update man. Can we have more explanation on the "alternate" as if the difference between the actual and alternate.​
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
Great job! Works great. Looks like untouched Google Image for N5 but it is for mako! No issues. Thank you.

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 4 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
i will when i get home :)

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
It is a normal image, not a zip. Flash using fastboot. Looks like N5 and N4 merged image from google website, clear, untouched. Works like a cherm for me!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] katoblepa:
internal memory such as picture and document will be lost?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
if you dont want to loose everything you need to delete the data partition from the occam-krt16s.zip in the tar.gz file!

EDIT: will make a second version for users which dont like to loose data stuff

EDIT 2: building a new aosp libart atm ;) to get whatsapp and so on fixed ...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zanoli99:
Need to flash superuser for root? Thanks. Looking forward to trying it
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
its a alternative stock rom following the current google android os line (n5 edition) so yes you have to as i want to keep it as clean as possible ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
Clean as hell. Works great. "Building a new ASOP libart", means that there will be updated version? Is there something wrong with current one?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
yes! whatsapp/titanium backup does not work on art, so i compiled a fresh one from android-4.4_1.2 tag libart library which imcludes fixes so whatsapp and titanium backup run properly on art runtime
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
If we are talking about ART, Bejeweled 2 game also is not working when switched to ART. :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
will check that ;)

thanks for the info
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
Is it possible to build a little bit deeper N5 to N4 ROM? I mean the N5 theme is a little bit different than in N4, also ringtones are different. Can you check it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
ringtones should be possible, if you find something that is not like n5 you can tell me, i will fix it afterwards
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
Is it hard to integrate .sh file with ROM? I am still experiencing issues with WiFi connection at home. I have TP-Link TL-WDR4300 and since I got my Nexus 4, it always had some issues with connecting to WiFi. Some ROMs have the newer driver integrated but Google still uses old one. Here is the link to newer binary, but it is hard to integrate it. Even on rooted phone. :/
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
i dont know from where you got this information, the sh file is a script ehich extracts various binaries/prebuilts for mako! those are also included in the latest version of android by google
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
I just see problems. Some roms like Paranoid dont have such issues.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gexk:
Nice work man!

As you reffer to the rom like a alternative factory image. Just some noob question:

I need to root to flash that rom? Or I can install it throw adb just like a normal google release?

Can relock my bootloader after the process is done?

Do you think I will get OTA updates from google after flashing that rom?

thanks man.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
i dont think so ...

i try to figure out how google handles the ota update process, so you guys can keep updated without unlocking the bl's

no you dont need root, you can relock after install via fastboot, but i dont recommend it ..., as you can get updates from me when you will relock it ^^

EDIT: 1.1 up :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Thanks for the fast answer man, i will wait your release with the fix for whatsapp and art and will give a try. I think u already answer that on your last post but just to confirm if i undertood right, no need to custom recovery right?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
you just need to have a unlocked bootloader, and the knowledge to extract a archive with winrar and click flash-all.bat in extracted folder ...

thats it ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Thats nice man i will give a try next week, right know im a little busy, u did what google should have done and thanks for the help again.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sukhi:
Flashed it few mins back and running smooth. However i am still not able to figure out the diff between this and 4.4 factory image. Could you pls also update the news and weather app from N5

Gonna try this! Thanks Man! But.. Can you put some alternative Download Link :( MEGA is too slow for me </3

TB is not working in art mode
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sahil324:
it worked .... recovery was not able to mount cache .... so i formated the cache and den it booted.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Squarius:
Great Work. I noticed there is the old bootloader z20i and the old radio 84 in the zip archive. Is there any reason why you didnt put the lastet ones into it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sukhi:
Those are the latest ones....the naming convention has been wrong from the source. The stock image also shows them like the same but actually they are z30 and radio 97
[Nexus 4 Android Development] eightlegs:
Awesome ROM thanks for this. Exactly as KitKat should be! I was fed up waiting for the OTA and thought I'd flash this on my stock locked nexus 4 but upon unlocking the bootloader the OTA appeared when I rebooted. Tried that first and was really disapointed but then flashed this using NRT (without user IMG) and wow what a transformation - gotta say again thanks. This is the full experience and fast with it even still on dalvik. No issues yet :)

Ahh Thank you. That confused me indeed ;)

changes from given rom thread:

my rom is completely based upon krt16s occam build from google, also i wanted to keep it as clean as the factory image from occam and hammerhead! the other rom is a port, mine is just a looking like n5 occam stock rom, with no changes related to hardware out of modded libart ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KcLKcL:
Can anybody confirms that LINE free calls would work with this new ART version? The app works in the old ART lib, but it crashes when trying to start a call. (I know I can try it myself, but I really don't need to flash it if it doesn't fix the problem lol)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
sadly i cant, error for me when i want to register
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
I installed the rom today and have to say, you did a great job man, the room is pretty smooth and beautiful, but i think i found a little bug, the navigation bar is not transparrent when u open the app switcher in landscape mode. There is a attached image so you can undestand what im saying
[Nexus 4 Android Development] OldDroid:
i know about it ;)

i will try to fix it in next version, especially the overlapping of navbar and apps running in background (in landscape mode ofc) ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Nice, i think the overlapping is proposal if u just get the navbar transparent the problem is solved.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Didusieq:
For me the status bar is transparent. But navbar not. :/ But the same on stock for N4 so ot is a KitKat bug
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KcLKcL:
Ah, it's alright. Currently I am using another ROM (Nexus 5 ported KRT16S).

Can I use the libart.so from your ROM, OldDroid?

If I can, mind uploading it? (My Internet isn't really fast :/)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Man i don`t know if its a bug or kikat is supposed to be like that, but if u press app switcher button while an app is open, you will get navbar and notification bar black, if u press at home screen you will get the bars transparent.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KcLKcL:
It's supposed to be like that.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Wagedroid:
The status bar is black when notification is present. He has a screenshot notification and the other a whatsapp notification
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Wagedroid:
No notification
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
You didn`t get what i said, if u press while in a app you will get the bars black anyway, doesnt matter you have a nottification or not, but as KcLKcL this is problably how kitkat is supposed to be.
