Can I install 4.1.2 on top of Paranoid Android's custom ROM? (Trinity kernel) The one thing I have noticed so far on PA is that the home screen still has no rotation which I know 4.1.2 fixed. Not a huge deal, but I am assuming that means PA is still based on the earlier JB version. Will it break anything if I manually update to the latest? I am new to tablets/rooting so I wanted to check before I tried it. (Almost bricked my tablet earlier today cause I had the wrong .zip for PA. Made me hesitant...)

No, you cannot.
Hey guys,
I'm planning to root the Nexus 4 when I get it, my question is will it get updates while it's running a custom ROM like CM 10.1 or custom kernel like franco? OR do I have to return to stock to get an update ? I bought this phone because it is a nexus device which gets updates faster than any android device so it is important to me..
Thanks a lot!!
no you cant get ota updates with custom rom/kernel... update accordingly to your rom's progression.

Hey there, I have been flashing my HTC Desire HD for a long time with different ROMs. I found it kinda annoying to always check certain websites for new updates, manually download and flash them just to find out that half of the stuff was buggy.
Now I got the Nexus 4. I loved the idea of having fast OTA updates. But now I want to flash a new kernel.. which means I got to install a custom recovery. But then OTA will not work anymore.
So I wonder:
Should I stay with
CWM + Stock ROM + Custom Kernel (no OTA update but no problem with buggy custom ROMs)
CWM + Custom ROM + Custom Kernel
Everything stock
Cyanogenmod is nice but for me it doesn't have any big advantages over stock 4.2 ? So I really wonder what you guys would recommend? What are your reasons to do a "certain setup" ?
Thanks
You don't need a custom recovery to flash a kernel.
It can be flashed with fastboot leaving everything else stock.
You still wouldn't be able to install the OTA without flashing the stock kernel again though.
Oh crap.. so as soon as I change ANYTHING... no OTA updates anymore
Hmm... I guess I will stay with custom kernel + flashing stock ROM then :/ Is there any way to automatically check for updates tho?
Thanks

Yeah you will get the notification and it will try to install but it will fail and reboot if you aren't 100% stock.

Go with TWRP instead of cwm

+1, TWRP is great :highfive:
TWRP is the way to go!
But then I have another problem (well I already have it but..):
I would like to use ROMmanager.. after all it might be able to check for rom updates & flash them "automatically" (stock + custom?). I am not sure if it could also check for kernel updates?
Anyway, it seems to work only with CWM ? Altough it doesn't seem the already installed CWM on my Nexus 4 :S
Anyone?
I would never use ROM manager. Not a good program. Use a custom recovery, and if you want lots of customisation then I would recommend AOKP Rom as it is just as fast and stable as the stock ROM but with a whole host of customisation options.
Beauty of this phone is that you can go back to complete bone stock with no issues, I did, but missed all the customisation and put AOKP back on lol.
alright I uninstalled it. I just hoped for some "app" which could look for all kind of "custom" updates and install them automatically (kernerl,rom,...)
If you're interested in CM, I think delta CM will allow you download only the changes made to the project.
Also, why do people say to use TWRP instead of the more tried and true CWM? It seems to have a lot of sex appeal to some recently, and there doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer. Is there added functionality?
Hello guys,
I have the franco kernel updater version 10.3.2
I loved this kernel because it was updated all the time.
Since 22th of July there wasn't any new kernel update to be released.
My current kernel version is #165
and checking for an update since hasn't shown a new update.
Do you guys know if franco kernel updater nightly kernel should
come out with new updates?
If not, do you recommend other app for updating my kernel on a regular basis?
p.s I have root permissions on my nexus 4
thanks mates
When a new version of Android come out he stopped developing for the old one. If you want newer version of the kernel you have to update to Android 4.3.

My Nexus 7 just got the new 4.4.2 OTA update. Can't see any differences yet.
Anyone seen an OTA link?

There's now cast screen option in the display settings!
http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-nakasi-KOT49H-from-KRT16S.d72d1413.zip
Wifi, of course.
Appears to be a new kernel, remot display stuff, patching a bunch of things. Sorry, not very useful
So, as always kids, if you modified your ROM, you can't OTA. This time that includes the kernel.
chnages:
1. transparent lockscreen, nice! but launcher is not transparent
2. in app drawer apps and widgets text is now in white colour.
this is for now, i need to take a look more
I think Chrome feels a lot smoother, still got the boot animation glitch and the jumping back to another app when hitting the back key out of an app.

There's any link to download the stock kernel from the 4.4? I don't have any PC now and I can't extract it from the Google image.. Sorry for my English

It installed? I'd be quite surprised It'd fail for both boot.img and power grouper library. I just removed both from my OTA zip and left m-kernel in place

Can't just restore kernel if you're using a kernel which replaces any files, such as m-kernel replaces the power grouper. You could restore the full system image, the power grouper lib, or remove it from the OTA. I opted for the latter.
I took the ota and it caused me to bootloop. Anyone know how to fix this?
fyi not rooted and hardly anything even installed on it. My mother used it to play solitaire basically.
I cant for the life of me get this OTA installed. Running stocked rooted 4.4.1, installed and set up yesterday. No custom kernel. Have tried flashing in latest TWRP, as well as sideloading via adb and same result.
It states:
Not enough free space on /system to apply patches
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip'
Just applied the 4.2.2 OTA to my WiFi N7 2012 and noticed that the System ROM size is 670MB. Was this the default System ROM size for previous ROM versions? I never paid attention to the System ROM size before, but I was about to integrate a couple apps using Titanium Backup and got a message saying that I did not have enough room to integrate the app. I had integrated some of these apps before without running into a storage room problem. Also, how can I determine the version of the bootloader that's currently being used?
