Any thoughts on encryption? Any input from people that have done it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Doesn't seem like OTA updates work with encryption, I planned to encrypt mine like the rest of my stuff but not if I can't get updates.

Was your GNex rooted and encrypted?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Personally, I think that unless you actually have something important and confidential to protect, it really doesn't warrant the use of encryption. It makes things a pain in the arse e.g. updates, some recoveries don't work with encryption etc.

I posted before about rooting my eve. The problem I had was that I had updated it to the newer software and did not know I couldn't root it with the new update. My question is, if I reset it back to factory settings, will that rollback my software settings or am I still stuck with the new update. Thank you anybody who can help.
No it won't roll back the update. Your just stuck

Hi all, just a quick question relating to the 4.2.1 update. I still haven't received the update on my completely stock nexus 4. I'm in the UK but I am aware of others in the UK too who have already got the update. Just wondered if there is any reason for this? I know I can update manually but would rather get the update OTA
Thanks in advance

US. Nothing as well. Since this update doesn't really adds to anything important for me so I'm not upset.
I live in the United States and haven't gotten it either. This is usually a slow rollout process regardless. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Yeah I'm not too bothered, just intrigued whether there is something wrong with my device or some sort of setting different? If it was a big update I would be a bit annoyed by now!

I was on the same boat as you all.
In order to get the update go to app settings and clear data for "Google Services Framework", and try to find update again.
Worked for me.
That worked thank you, just need to wait to connect to WiFi now!

Hi everyone
i know nexus 4 comes with stock rom from google, but there must be things that you recommend removing to keep the beast going at 100% pace.
also, i am a privacy geek and would love to know which of apps i should disable to give as least as possible to google?
at one point i remember a rom that was the stock android but it had all of google's collections bots/apps disabled. Cant seem to think of it
cheers

If you want to receive OTA updates then you have to keep all the apps but you can disable them.
I've disabled Google movies and magazines.
If you really want to avoid Google you should install cyanogen mod without the gapps. You won't require a gmail account to use your phone but that means you have to use alternative market places.
There are open source apps for almost everything but I've never used them so can't say. I know there is a open source maps app though but probably doesn't come close to Google apps.

It depends on how you define bloatware. Some see it as being anything preinstalled on the device that isn't absolutely necessary, which means that most of the GApps that come on the N4 are bloatware. Personally I disagree with that definition of bloatware but you can see why people may think that way.

Awesome, thanks! Didn't think to look by username, DUH!
You could just install something like cm10.1 with no gapps.

Hey, haven't really posted here before and sorry for asking a question that's probably been asked a million times, but I've just had an information overload today.
I rooted my Nexus 10 today using the CF Auto Root, which also unlocked my bootloader. I won't really be tampering with much on the device as the main reason I wanted to do it is to use my PS3 controller to play games. My question is, what do I need to do with my device still to ensure it doesn't encounter any difficulties with the root?
Sorry again for the basic question, and thanks in advance!

No it's all fine. And since it is a Nexus it's unbrickable.. Or you have to do something really stupid.. You can fix it almost always.

If something does go very wrong, just restore the factory images. Welcome to the wonderful world of rooting!

Sorry if this is the wrong section for this.
I know in the past you could get imessage on Android, but there were a lot of security concerns with it and now even that app is removed from the google play store. Is there any secure way to get the app? If not what app is the closest to it? Right now I'm using textra, and I really like it, but I have noticed some bugs with it. Most people I text use iPhones so that's why I would love to get imessage. I'm rooted if that helps with anything.

I just googled it and it doesn't look safe. I wouldn't install it. It seems messages are sent through some server in China

Doubtful it's safe. Considering the only other methods I've seen involved using a Mac or iPhone as a proxy to connect it, it has to run through one somewhere, and there's no guarantee it's encrypted.
