Plz help !!! I am Noob

i am using nexus 4 running Paranoid Android custom rom kitkat 4.4.4..can i upgrade with the above instructions?? or will it brick my phone since i am on kitkat still..Should i first install lolipop firmware 1st?:D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragos281993:
Maybe I'm wrong but I'd say yes. I mean, I'd do that to make sure that I don't run into annoying issues and bugs. You could make a backup of all the important apps on your phone with Titanium backup, plus other photos, music, etc, then don't forget to copy the "Titanium backup" folder from your device to your PC/laptop. Then flash the Lollipop firmware. After you did that and you configured all the settings on the new 5.1.1 stock rom, flash twrp with fastboot (or however you prefer), copy the cm12.1 rom, gapps, etc, wipe cache'dalvik cache and flash the files.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prasg05:
Thanks Mate!! I really dont mind loosing my data which is on my phone..contacts are synced..i have cwm..so insted of installing the new 5.1.1 stock rom..is it possible to directly upgrade to [5.1]CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightlies Nexus 4 (Mako) rom from my current PA 4.6 beta 6 rom on kitkat 4.4.4?? i understand there could be bugs but is it possible??i dont understand what happens when i wipe using CWM..does it wipe the PA rom and kitkat 4.4.4??

:confused:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragos281993:
I recommend using twrp. I' ve heard people complain about different sorts of errors. Flash the latest twrp with fastboot and do a complete wipe. Then copy the files you need in the phone and flash them. Use the twrp below, cause 2.8.6.0 has some mtp problems.

BUT, if you want to do it right away with the cwm you already have, do it. The worst scenario is ending up in a bootloop, which is not a big deal. If that happened you could easily flash the stock ROM and fix the device, then move to cm12.1. So try it, and tell me if it worked. You should do all the wipes, just in case.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prasg05:
Thanks man!!! Will let u know once done...:good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Nilsb7:
The TWRP MTP issue was fixed in 2.8.6.1.

Help

I dusted this phone off to give to my daughter, i was running MIUI on it before i switched to my LG G2 then my S6 it was running fine then i installed this. I did factory reset wiped dalvik,and cache flashed rom, booted up and everything seemed fine. Then i flashed GAPPS the mininmal package and everything failed help please i was bragging to my daughter how coool this phone is, was, and now shes looking at me like im crazy !! LOL Help please i dont know what i am doing wrong.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] SammysHP:
Then install some final version and not a nightly in development?

Your minimal package a) is incomplete or b) has the wrong version.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragos281993:
Backup the important data and do a complete wipe (data wipe preferably). Then copy the ROM(latest nightly cause it's working great) and Gapps to the internal storage.

Get these Gapps: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps

The go to "Install", choose the ROM then tap "Add more zips"(or whatever it's called in the twrp you're using) and choose the Gapps package, so it can be flashed right after the ROM. Then reboot to system, wait for it to optimize everything, configure all the steps given and it has to work.

Tell me if you managed to make it work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prasg05:
Just Installed the rom :o..As u said i first flashed the stock 5.1.1 rom..Used it for a day to check how it was..Was very good since it gave more battery time..Then rooted my phone again using Cwm since i was not familiar with twrp:D..ANd just now installed the cm custom rom..Let me see if there r any bugs..If any will let u know cause might need help..Hehe..But flawless uptil now !!!:good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragos281993:
Nice. Glad to hear that it's working fine for you. If you want more customization capabilities, such as dt2w, screen profiles that gives you more colors from your display, or a bit of CPU tweaking for either performance or power-saving, you can install a custom kernel. "Quanta - v6" is great, but if you want even more options, flash "Hellscore kernel" (b78). You can flash either of them without any wipes. Just flash one and reboot to system and Voila ! You're now able to so all sorts of things to your phone. If you choose "Quanta-v6" I recommend "Kernel adiutor" from the Play Store to tweak the kernel, or if you choose "Hellscore kernel b78", you can download "Hellscore kernel manager" from the Play Store as well, in order to tweak it, and it's also been exclusively built to work with hellscore kernel.. Good luck !
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] suomii:
For me yes. I use it on a pro phone. No major issues just one or two time per month lost signal gsm. You can test it with multirom. I do that it's easy and if you are not hapy just reboot to stock.

At the moment it seems the 12.1 gapps download link is broken.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Packsman:
Dont flash this version. I tried it and they f****d up pretty much everything they could. Wrong google play services, no swipe, gmail not working, typos in backup script...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jr67:
The CM gapps were pulled because apparently it was just a kang of Bank's gapps and done without permission or even giving credit.

https://plus.google.com/+MichaelBanksBaNkS/posts/6xMkLH4Q5nv?gl=us

Also the Google play services in Bank's gapps is the wrong one for our device (438 instead of 436 for our device).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] alan-31:
Thank you! Multi-rom looks like a great tool. I am trying it out now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] naresh180891:
It might be noob question. i would be glad if someone could help me. i'm currently on cm12. could anyone give me the instruction to flash it. Right now i know cm12.1 can be dirty flashed over cm12, provided the 3rd party app need to be updated manually(this is the part i dont understand). so is the clean flash is compulsory or dirty can be done(how)? does anyone succeed dirty flash cm12.1. tq
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abhishekjain.ims:
Some people reporting that dirty flashing is also working, you might get some problems in gapps. But, I would recommend you to do clean flash of CM12.1 & then install gapps. I'm using it without any single issue. :angel:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] superdragonpt:
^^ THIS

I don't recommend dirty flash ...

Clean flash + flash GAPPS ...

Cheers
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abhishekjain.ims:
Another source of GAPPS has been updated on the info page.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abhishekjain.ims:
That is what I recommended him :)

Ok, I will ask it again. How can I create a nandroid backup of my device with CM-recovery? Or must I flash a other recovery system? I'm a bit wondering, why CM-recovery don't give me a possibility to create a backup of my device.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abhishekjain.ims:
I have no idea about cm recovery, I m using TWRP recovery which gives easy interface by which you can easily take a backup of your nandroid.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] NooBs7yL3:
Live Display not working on automatic mode.. Even on cm12 I had this problem, is only me?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] insigma28:
I totally agree never worked for me either on cm 12 and 12.1.

made a dirty flash, some apps went messed up but with re-install its ok, today decided made a clean install 20150420 with gapps on first post, now play services crash and i cant open gmail :s
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Tubbby:
I'm having issues with the 'Official' GAPPs and the latest nightly (20/04).

I've wiped everything to start with a fresh install - but I get an 'Unknown error with Google Play' message constantly. I've reverted back to the Alternative GAPPS, and it's ok for now.

It's just a shame as Gmail with an Exchange account doesn't seem to be playing ball with the new builds / alternative GAPPS.

Any ideas or anyone seeing similar?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abhishekjain.ims:
Random reboots

Too many random reboots on CM12.1-20150418. Can anybody confirm is this issue been resolved in CM12.1-20150420 ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sergio_f:
i posted exact the same thing above, why not read?

with 1804 dirty flash no reboot problems
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] abhishekjain.ims:
Guys, another alternative GAPPS has been updated on the info page which I am currently using without any issues. Now kindly try "Alternative GAPPS 2". In this GAPPS you will get very basic packages like Google search app & Google play store, rest of the things can be downloaded directly from the play store.

Regards,

AJ
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Prasg05:
Thanks mate..Surely would try them out..Think i am starting to get a hang of it and like it very much:cool:..Should i download Rom Manager and use Multiple rom at once..What do u suggest??
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragos281993:
Well, I'm not really into having 2 ROMs at once on my device. It's more of a thing for those who want to test and see how one performs compared to another. Me, I like to have one ROM at a time and great, so I'm happy with cm 12.1 for now. Now preferences are different from a person to another.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] k1l:
since some days my networks seem to crash when they are heavily used.

like Bluetooth crashes and restarts when i use it in the car.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stephendt0:
This is a weird issue that I'm having. My device will say I have no SIM card - but phone calls and texts work fine. Unfortunately, mobile data does not. It seems to happen randomly but fixes itself after a reboot. Screenshot attached. Anyone else had this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] k1l:
yep, flightmodus and back solves that for me.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Drake97:
Hi! I would like to try this ROM. Are there any major bugs or it is stable enough for a daily usage? Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] stephendt0:
Flight mode and back didn't work for me when I tried. I don't think there's anything wrong with the SIM, never had a problem with it before and it hasn't moved from my device.

It's fairly stable but there have been a few glitches with network connectivity for me. It's very very smooth - performance is always stellar.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] k1l:
i would have said its quite stable but the mentioned network crash issues.

BUT this night my nexus4 crashed completly and didnt reboot so i had no alarmclock to wake me up :X
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] danthepan124:
How do I flash the nightly's without losing all my data?

Can I just just flash the ROM? I'm using TWRP
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] chris_82:
If you're upgrading from CM11 or CM12 you can just flash one of the CM12.1 nightlies. Your data will be preserved. Just remember to flash a correct Gapps package for Android 5.1.1. Otherwise the Play Services will crash.

You will also have to wipe Dalvik/Cache partition after flashing.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] danthepan124:
What if I'm already on CM12.1, I just want to keep updated with the change-logs
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] chris_82:
Flash new nightly, wipe Dalvik/Cache and you're good to go.

Note:

While I am doing this since CM10.1 on my Nexus4 and never faced any trouble regular backups of your data is still recommended.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] valkyrjur:
Use cyandelta app to keep updated..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Selmak:
Question for all of you Cyandelta users. I tried the app, and correct me if I'm wrong all it seems to do is download any ROM updates, and then recompile those updates in to the existing ROM zip file that I have stored on my phone. I then have to flash the complete ROM just as if I had downloaded the full zip.

When I tested this it took a long time to compile the zip, and my phone got really hot. This seems to be counter productive when I can simply download the entire ROM in less than two minutes direct from the CM download web page, which is what I have always done. The built in update tool downloads at a ridiculously slow rate, but going to the website in Chrome is super fast.

So unless Cyandelta has a way to flash only the needed files instead of the entire ROM in recovery it seems like a waste of time to even bother with it. So if I am missing something please clue me in. I'm not afraid to be schooled when necessary, but right now I'm not seeing any advantage to this app.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] klaust58:
Cyandelta does not "compile" the Zip.... ?

But you are right. Thats why i don't use cyandelta too...it's not necessary.

flashed the lated nightly today now, trying to flash the google apps. gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip.

adb sideload serving: 'gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip' (~20%) stuck there for like 20 minutes, using TWRP 2.8.6.1

not so pleasured to close the process right now, how long does it take usually for the gapps?

The rom itself took under 5 minutes.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Selmak:
Yeah sorry compile was not the correct term. Thanks for the reply, and confirming my suspicions.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] axsdenied1:
Not everybody has a fast Internet connection and unlimited downloads. It works quite well for those cases.

Also, and someone correct me if I am wrong, in cyandelta you can queue other things like custom kernel to be flashed automatically. I don't think this is possible with the inbuilt CM update.

For people using Trickster Mod and on 6/11 nightly, is it taking a long time for your settings to apply? if not did I do something wrong?

Also if my apps are freezing, is it because i set my kernel voltage too low? or is the nightly
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pratamaaudi:
yay.. ticker is back :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Selmak:
I suppose I wasn't thinking about download limits. In the United States bandwidth isn't really an issue. Even with limited cell data, and no home Internet there is still free WiFi available at most businesses.

As for queuing multiple zips to flash in sequence that can be done in TWRP.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] convolution:
My phone has been having hang ups for no reason. Like there would be sudden intense lag where the phone would be unresponsive, even to the power button... What gives?

Latest CM nightly, Quanta V6 kernel, F2FS
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jr67:
No lags for me with stock kernel. Perhaps it's a kernel issue?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] convolution:
But stock kernel doesn't have F2FS support
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragos281993:
Try "Hellscore kernel b79". http://hc-kernel.blogspot.ro/2015/06/nexus-4-b79.html

I've been using it for quite a while now, and it's seems to be great. And it has more features than Quanta, which consists of more governors, more I/O schedulers and other MP decisions made by someone I don't remember what his name was, lol. You can either tweak it with "Kernel Adiutor" or "Hellscore kernel manager" (exclusively built for this kernel). Both can be found in the Play Store. I prefer the first one, for it has a better interface.

Try it, you've got nothing to lose. But first it's best if you flash the stock CM kernel back by either flashing it independently or by flashing the latest nightly again. Then flash the custom kernel without no wipes if you want it to be quickly done.

EDIT: "Hellscore" doesn't have F2FS support. I've been on F2FS a few weeks ago, and had tried it for over a month. Never noticed any difference in performance compared to ext4. At first I thought there was a difference, but it was just my mind playing tricks to me cause I was was expecting it to be better. It turned out it wasn't. The only thing noticeable was the battery life. On F2FS it drained a bit faster. SO, back to ext4 since then.

If you decide to try what I told you about above, I'll give you a few minor tweaks that will remove some of the lags and give a bit smoother experience with hellscore.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jr67:
Not saying you should only use the stock kernel. Just saying that using the stock kernel I don't have the issue that you're experiencing. You should also post your issues in the Quanta thread.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] convolution:
Yeah, figured that Hellscore doesn't have F2FS support after my bootloop. I reflashed my Quanta, and I'll use it some more and see if there is any more freeze ups. Maybe it's due to my auto-update setting for all my apps. It seems that whenever my apps are installing, my phone lags like crazy.

You mean, to make it not let you know when an app requires root access ? If this is what you meant, then do this: (I assume you have the Supersu app installed) - open Supersu app, go to the "Settings" section, then scroll down a bit and you'll see a "Show notification" option which you'll uncheck.

Same thing with me as well. I'm also using Quanta V6,maybe it's kernel issue.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] copong:
I've had the freeze ups until I upgraded to jun the 10th nightly, it's been good since. Not a specific kernel issue however, happened on both Quanta v6 and stock kernels. Always Google Chrome being involved. Not sure if it was Chrome per se, or the rom, since there was a Chrome update around the time I upgrade to jun the 10th nightly.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] scissorscrush:
Yep chrome involved here too. Used hellscore as well and same thing. Got to be the rom.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] copong:
Could be Chrome killing the system. I've often noticed Chrome is using upwards of 500MB RAM, and mako goes sluggish when RAM usage goes over 1.4GB. Same thing happened on stock kit kat however so it might not be CM's mods, but Lollipop itself.

Funny thing is RAM usage never goes over 1.5GB. On KitKat it was 1.4.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] tvisforme:
I've been wondering about this as well. My N4 is on the latest CM12.1 build and HellsCore b79, and the phone feels sluggish on a regular basis. Free memory drops down to the 200MB range and Chrome Dev is using over 400MB for normal, privileged and sandboxed processes (per OS Monitor).

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dragos281993:
