Both Pure Nexus builds are AOSP based. Only the theme engines are different. One has the Layers manager support and the other has the CM Theme engine. If you want a custom kernel, you have to flash the AOSP version of it, for both Pure Nexus versions.

Hi:

I was using Clockwork Mod, and there I did a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache... I will try with TWRP and see if it works.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
You don't just try twrp. Twrp is absolutely required. CWM is, no offense to its creators , complete and utter s#!t, my friend. How did you even stay on CWM ? Go and flash twrp 3.0.0.0 if you want things to work well.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blackbuffalo:
PureNexus is AOSP base

CWM too old for now, TWRP is recommended

Hi guys how do i disable encryption? Already did a factory reset im goind to sell my phone. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ommadawn101:
I read on the Nexus 4 TWRP thread, that some users are having difficulties accessing their internal storage, after flashing 3.0.0.0.

Maybe it would be better to stick to 2.8.7.0, for the time being, at least?

I am sorry to announce that the dreadful "no available network" under WIFI, is back!

For no obvious reason (this happened while I was sleeping!), device is not connected to my home wifi, and shows no other available wifi network.

A Galaxy S II device is connected to my home wifi and working properly, and shows all surrounding wifi networks.

Only a device reboot brings back wifi networks. This was happening to me quite often with stock 5.1, and was not happening on Jan build

Guys i have a question, i have done a clean flash to have the rom "clean" again, after the flash on the top bar i have meteo wallpaper, i know that there is a tab to disable it but i'm not finding it, can someone help me?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Go to settings -> pure nexus settings -> notification drawer, and disable "Time contextual header".

You can use twrp 2.8.7.0 as long as it's not CWM. I'm not experiencing any problems with terp 3.0.0.0 bit if you do, then just use the previous version which is great too.

As for your Wi-Fi problem, I don't have such a problem and I'm on Pure Nexus CMTE. If for me it's working fine, then it should work for you as well, so it's something on your part, 100% sure. Did you even did a complete phone wipe when you moved from Lollipop to Marshmallow ? Cause a complete data wipe is recommended when the upgrade is so significant. When you clean flash a ROM, you have to make sure that you wipe everything clean then flash the stuff in a correct order. But if you use twrp, you'll have a nice flashing experience.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Vasco9519:
Thanks man, it was disabled by default, but it was surely a bug.. enabled enabled contextual header images disabled again and now is working fine!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rastersoft:
Installed TWRP. Now testing again. In a couple of days will know if it works or not.

BTW: what's the difference between the package "as-is" and the package with "CMTE"?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Both Pure Nexus versions are AOSP based (keep that in mind when you flash a custom kernel), but one has Layer Manager support and the other the CM Theme Engine. The theme engine is what's different. If you prefer Layers themes, you install the simple Pure Nexus ROM, and if you like CM themes, then you flash the Pure Nexus CMTE build.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] slickw:
well since noone answered my rather simple question i had to install the rom to find out.

answer is YES in case anyone else is wandering before trying out the rom :)

little bug i found. when you enable lockscreen rotation and you set up a custom clock font on lockscreen, as soon as lockscreen rotates font reverts to default.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] manpildo:
Known bug, it's explained in the FAQ.

"su, setenforce 1" and it's enforcing. But it doesn't survive reboot unfortunately.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rastersoft:
Ok, my nexus 4 with pure nexus still hangs randomly after some time with the screen off. I put TWRP, made a full wipe and reinstalled everything, but still hangs...

Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Jakub_Z.:
Try different gapps maybe?

Open Gapps micro variant works good for me.

Or maybe try another kernel?

Did you also wipe.system before flashing?

Dunno buddy. Strange stuff...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rastersoft:
Full wipe: data, system, cache... everything.

Where can I find Open Gapps?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] coolek33:
Tried typing "open gapps" in Google?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nigelhealy:
So I've seen a few noobs questions. To be fair, a total noob such as been on stock all the time may find for the first time this to be daunting. The above reply of just pointing to "open gapps" still then just presents which which do they use of arm64 arm x86 and which if pico, nano, etc.

Also the installation guide is simply a copy paste with no changes of the 6p guides, so someone has to translate what is applicable vs others.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Open gapps, you want the most recent version for ARM, as the N4 processor is ARM but not 64bit. You're installing a 6.0.1 ROM so you want its gapps, and finally the most consistently reliable gapps are the smaller ones as they install the least in the system and more from the play store

So for example http://opengapps.org/ you'd want the Platform "arm" , Android "6.0", Varient "pico" which as I type is pointing to this file https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20160222/open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160222.zip

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

I've ordered a new N4 battery as this handset is pretty old, it might not be necessary, but just to be sure its not software fault, my phone gets super hot, drains battery really quick. When i look at battery and wakelocks it appears to be no software fault, it appears to be that the old phone is overwhelmed by modern software.

I've applied the 33/107 modem and enabled LTE and if I use the phone on "4G" (it is what it says on the top right) it goes from 90% to 25% flat <1hour of just casual surfing.

What is other's experience?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ommadawn101:
Of course I did a full wipe when I first installed this rom, what do you take me for?

The fact that you did not experience the wifi bug, only means that it did not happen to you YET.

As I stated in my post it does not happen after a certain set of steps.That is the definition of erratic.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

When you say "hangs", do you mean powered off? Do you have to press power button for some seconds, and then it is booting up again?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nigelhealy:
Not all wipes are equal. I've moved to PN on N4,7,9 this last 2 weeks and TWRP is not doing a 100% job. Better full wipes are in fastboot.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
I agree with Ommadawn101. Also as mentioned by [MENTION=4775959]nigelhealy[/MENTION], the installation guide is simply a copy paste with no changes of the 6p guides.

The "vendor image" thing is definitely confusing. I figured that since Google dropped support of Nexus 4 after Lollipop, there wouldn't be a vendor image of Marshmallow for it. However, nowhere in the installation instructions or FAQ is that explicitly mentioned. Searching for it in the thread didn't help at the time either, since it wasn't discussed until a few days ago. If the OP could just have a note saying that vendor image for Nexus 4 is not applicable, it would save all newbies a lot of time.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rastersoft:
Yes, I think I deserve it (and more) for asking here before using google. Sorry :angel:

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

No. If I press the button for two-three seconds nothing happens. I have to keep it pressed for about six-eight seconds, and then pressing it during two seconds turns it on and boots up again (this is: the processor was hanged. By pressing the power button for six-eight seconds electric power is cut "the hard way". Pressing it again for two seconds turns the circuitry on again and the systems start the booting process).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] oliver7:
Yep, i use b87, its awesome, and i just dirty flashed over chroma 11/01 and all is fine so far!

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

My first impressions, really happy with it! :)

-dirty flashed over Chroma 11/01 without probs

-M boot anim incl. (but lil oversized imo, I suggest to use 540p ver./xda)﻿

-you can choose between voice search or dialer shortcut on lockscreen﻿

-recommended kernel w d2w: hC-b87-M﻿

-status bar tap2sleep incl.

-no 1finger qs

-no doubletap navbar 2sleep (but ak-m kernel has sweep2sleep, i think)

-boot sequence is really fast imo﻿

-rounded recent tabs

-autoexpand notifications, & loadsa more goodies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZSfgXzkGn0
[Nexus 4 Android Development] danielcepa:
You have to use it ONCE. After that it sticks to the QS Panel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Yup. already did it. After using hotspot all morning, I decided to go to "Quick settings" and see if the option sticks, and it finally did. But it's still a little-tiny bug.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] oliver7:
I tried some roms by now, and they always had the bug, that notification sounds suddenly just don't play anymore. Therefore I consider this as an Marshmallow-bug. But has anybody an explanation for this? Or knowledge how to fix this??

Edit: maybe it's the apps running in background all the time, AutomateIt pro, outloud, lightflow
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kupple001:
Haven't seen a bug like this happening on this Rom.

Using it as a Daily Driver since last saturday. No issues so far.

QS Tiles are added after first use (like it should be in original Android!), HellsCore B87 gibes amazing performance and batterylife. Everything works as it should.

Hope you keep updating this Rom with the official one, even if this is 'only' an unofficial version. Also that optional signature faking feature would be nice, like i have allready written ti you. Also gives App Developers better debugging etc options for their apps
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blackbuffalo:
I use default bootanimation without edit, Will resize to fit n4 in next built

Hope you happy with my build, PureNexus is lightweight rom, stable and less issue for all

[Nexus 4 Android Development] eric_son:
Been using this ROM for 3 days now. The only problem I experienced was my car head unit's bluetooth connection occasionally failing. When this happens I have to delete the entry from my car head unit, and repeat the pair-up process. I can't seem to pin down what triggers this though. It's a bit annoying, but not enough to dissuade me from maintaining this awesome ROM.

Thanks for making this available.

No keyboard after install

So, I installed with latest GApps (gapps-M-061115-mustbe_mako.zip). Keyboard works fine as pretty much everything else except calendar. It doesn't show any calendars. If I go to Accounts->Google, there is no Calendar in the list. So, it is not syncing. I went to apps and cleared data in Calendar and in Google Calendar Sync. No change. Looks like Google Calendar Sync is not running.

Please help as it is one of my most important apps.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] guv.:
Two things I noticed with the latest update: AOSP Keyboard is no longer part of the rom, so it's best to install a separate keyboard before updating (I ended up with none). Also calendar sync is broken. The same has been described in the chroma thread, to get it to work again, calendarprovider from here has to be installed.

Anyone has found a kernel that works with this android 6? The all i found, like Franco's or Hellscore's ones, were for older version.

LatinIME always a part of rom.

I will look about Calendar sync, but similar It maybe by gapps

Which custom kernel can i install in the CM version ROM? I really need to enable fast charge.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bfoos:
Quanta or Taurus, just make sure that you flash the AOSP version of either, as there is no CM version of this ROM. There is a layers version and a CMTE version and both are AOSP.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sgroimax:
Hi guys, I am pretty excited from this awesome rom. I flashed the CMTE version and all stuff work very good. No bug at all and the features are very very nice to apply. SO congratulation to the developer and his team (if he has got one) and thank you very much indeed for your effort on it.

Only one query: is there a way to get OTG working on Multirom recovery?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
First, you need a custom kernel. Quanta kernel has working otg. Secondly, you need an "Y cable", which is not a regular otg cable (google it to see what it is and how it looks like), and after you've got the stuff above, you need " Stick mount" from the Play Store to install the drivers required and a flash drive formatted to fat32.

Hello guys,

I installed this ROM and the Quanta Kernel in the beginning of January and now I want to update it to the current release.

Hi,

possible to uninstall Launcher3 or block full, for my son can not switch between Nova and launcher3 in settings?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] moejay90:
Try to download an application for system app removal, open the app and then try to uninstall it, am pretty sure u can delete it or disable it at least and then chose your preferred launcher and set it to (always) so that it can operate as a stock launcher without having to switch over between launchers.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
If you are currently on Jan 9 or later release, then dirty flash should be fine (wipe dalvik+cache, flash latest rom, flash quanta, again wipe dalvik+cache).

If you are on Jan 3 release or older, then it might be a good idea to clean flash (wipe everything except sdcard). I say this because Jan 09 release changelog shows update of aosp source to 6.0.1_r10, which sounds like a significant-ish update. Dirty flash may work and you can try it if you want, but I would personally clean flash for a better likelihood of avoiding issues.

As for Quanta, it seems V10 is the most stable release at the moment. Many people are having random reboot occurrences with latest (V12) quanta, and the dev himself agreed that V10 is more stable until he releases a new version.

I am currently on 6.0.1 MMB29T of purenexus.

Now which one I need to flash CMTE or layers? Confused.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
What you have is the build wich suports "Layers manager". The other one is with the theme engine from cyanogenmod, hence the name "CMTE" (cyanogenmod theme engine). So, in order to upgrade, you need the version without "cmte" in the name.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
It's how it is. It's not an issue if that's what you meant.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] moejay90:
No no, it's not an issue of course but then is there a tweak around it to get it to show like CM13 and other roms??

Been using this rom for a while with the latest update (19 Feb,2016) CMTE build (with a clean install - system, data, dalvik & cache were wiped before install)

Only difference is im using Open Gapps (Nano)

Following are the 2 issues im facing:

1) The keyboard crashes everytime i try to use the swipe method for input instead of typing normally. It works just fine while using it normally.

2) CMTE cannot replace icons properly, regardless of whether its from a CM theme or just an individual icon pack. In some cases, it doesnt replace the icons at all.

Anyone else with the above issues?
