[Q] Want to downgrade to 4.1? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently running 4.2.1 and very pleased with it. But occasionally need to run an app. that no longer works on 4.2. But it does work on 4.1.
Was thinking I'd like to be able to flash a 4.1 ROM when I want. Is that possible; if so which ROM please, a CM ROM would be great?

Can't, 4.1 was never released on the nexus4.

You're better off contacting that developer and time to upgrade

There will never be a downgrade to a firmware that was never on the device in the first place. The N4 was released with 4.2, and no developer will create a 4.1 ROM for it

Shame, but I had expected that would be the answer
It's the MM Tracker application that is stuck only working on 4.1. Sadly the developer has had some hassle and isn't permitted to update anymore. Something in 4.2 broke it.
Wishing I'd kept my Galaxy Nexus as a backup phone now!

I suppose an Optimus G Rom can't be modded to work on our N4? Bluetooth issues are driving me nuts,

Hey guys! 4.1.2 was released, including a release for the NS with built version JZO54H. Anyone get ota?
I'd give a source, but I'm in class. Don't believe me? Look it up yourself.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
NS ? Only device mentioned to get an OTA for now is the Nexus 7.
I've read also in other formu that Nexus S have soon android 4.1.2, at the moment in Italy only the Nexus 7 is starting to get the ota.
Don't trust blogs and forums, only good source for now is here : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-building/2rkEoKMnhzU
Here's a nice changelog : http://www.funkyandroid.com/aosp-JRO03R-JZO54K.html

Just bought 2nd N7

after doing what I would now consider (dumb as ****) OTA updates....what would you all recommend i do as far as unlock...root...and rom? or if i stay stock no updates.......what would you do?
4.2 is as fast as any of the 4.1.2 custom roms / kernels that i have run in the past and i have tried most of them, i am currently running stock rom rooted with lean kernel which is a nice combination until some custom roms come out
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
It all depends on what you plan to do with it. Personally, I require root because of otg+host mode charging, among many other reasons. Each person is different in what they want and or require. You could use the first to experiment with different things and leave the new one stock till you find a configuration you like. Good luck!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Please ask questions in the questions section or general.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Would recommend just keeping stock until more 4.2 Roms become available, or flash the rooted 4.2 stock image that was released.

I assume you are implying that the newer android versions need more ram. If so does that mean that 5.0 will run slower on the current nexus 7?
Where can I read what is expected in the next android version?

It's Android, it runs on everything. Some things maybe slower than others, but it runs, hence the Nexus One (512MB ram, can run 4.2)
I'm just trying to say that it might be sluggish.

I doubt it. They would discontinue the updates for the N7 before they would purposely release a new update that makes the device seem slow.

Jason, I was thinking, how about the ATT Captivate 4.3 GPS files.I know Slim has a mature build already and the cappy is USA based configurations. Just my 2¢. I can ask PRB for it since he owns one....Lemme know on Hangouts!
The cappy files are exactly the same as the I9000. There should be a way to get it working with the right combo of available files.

[Q] MIUI for G2?

Anyone working on a MIUI port? I wish I had the brains to do it! I haven't seen any threads on this yet. Seeing as we now have stable AOSP-based builds, it seems that MIUI would come eventually. At least I hope!

Avatar ROM is a joke. What you need to do is use our Xperia Z MIUI ROM as that's a CM base and then port this over it. Its fairly quick to do but we are giving permission for people to use out MIUI base as we want to be first.

There is plenty of guides. You need to learn how to read logcats and also use a kernel which is the same on your device. Its easy but long to do so

Thanks for your hard work in the past and present (and TIA for future work as well)!
I'm happy to see this. I like the LG UI, and I've been running Malladus about the entire time I've had my G2, but I just booted up my old SGS3 (currently running MIUI) to restore it back to stock, and boy, do I already miss it.
I really need to start putting some time aside to start learning and understanding the code. Wouldn't mind lending a hand down the road. :highfive:
Anyone one know of any progress?
