So I can't update to 4.2.1 since I deleted a few of the Google apps to save battery life... Id rather not flash a stock ROM img and loose everything.. If anyone knows where I can get stock gapps bundled up for download I'd appreciate it

Hi
I'm desparately searching the Nexus one 2.3.3 stock music app because I lost (deleted) it when installing the Honeycomb music player. Now I`ve found the 2.3.2 music.apk but the OTA update to 2.3.4 still fails before installation when checking the music app.
I'm running a rooted stock 2.3.3 with superuser, root explorer...
Any Help will be much appreciated

The music app was part of the system image that the OTA verifies before installing. So...you need to flash a stock image in order to restore the image integrity.
I understand. I fear you are right. Thanks a lot.
All the same I don't intend to reflash, thats too much work for me. If somebody has got the stock 2.3.3 music.apk or knows where I can download it, I would appreciate that. Even if I can't get the OTA update that way

The music app is included in most ROMs. Just find a 2.3.3 ROM (older Cyanogen), and extract the apk...
You don't have a titanim backup copy??? If not I have the files if you want I can send you
Thanks a lot. After a long work Now I got it! Extracted the File from a ota I found in the Wiki I discovered today. After that even the update worked!

This is the third time this has happened now. I flash a ROM on my N7 then i look to restore a backup and it says file not found. But I've made a backup! How the hell can i fix this?

Is the backup made in 4.1.2 and the new rom is 4.2 (or the other way around) ?
If yes, then I'm sorry to inform you that the path where the backup reside is different in 4.1.2 and 4.2 ... so there are some steps required to use the respective files. More than that, switching in between 4.1.2 and 4.2 will require you to alter the mounting points.
No I'm on 4.2 and did a backup of stock using cwm. Now cwm cant find my backup

What version of CWM.. This is a known bug on a older version. I would suggest you check that maybe even re-download and flash cwm again. Get it from cwm web site not the one in rom manager self install....
Good Luck
I got the latest one, i will flash the stock image again. Third time lucky! Thanks for your help

I know it's on the S3 forum but I tried it on my Nexus 4 to make sure it works and it does.
*****Make sure you make a nandroid backup via recovery before flashing to avoid unforeseen issues.****
I had to RMA my first N10 for a bad power button. It was rooted but 100% stock otherwise. I did a titanium backup of my apps when I sent it back.
When I got the new nexus, I unlocked, rooted and flashed franko right away but left the stock ROM. I restored my apps and have been loving it ever since.
Now the problem. I use an app for work that has an important update to fix some bugs but now shows as not compatible with my device. I've tried clearing the market data and framework but it didn't help.
I would like to try flashing a stock kernel but can't seem to find a stock zip for CWM.
Any other ideas?

This is not a problem refered with the root or kernel, but with the comptibility of those apps with our device.
Even though I'm running the restored version in it now? The original app is fine, just the update is not compatible.
FWIW, I'm not arguing, I just want to understand before I contact the developer.

I just checked on a 2nd stock N10 and I have the same issue. I also checked on my non stock Nexus 4 and it does work. So I'll get after the Dev to get it fixed.
Thanks for the input.

I have a Nexus 4 running on 4.4.2 update base ROM. I've unlocked and rooted my phone, with multiple root tests to be sure. I've also downloaded the Franco kernel. Though its not working, so I assume its cause its a nightly version. From the information I've found those don't always work.
Back to my question though. My devices is a Mako, which goes along with being a Nexus 4 right. So why is it when I downloaded the cyanogenmod mako latest ROM it didn't work? Came up with an error comparing device and product as being mako, and some status 7 thing. I did a restore and now I'm here.
I've tried to install it view clockwork recovery, and from the ROM manager app. Both came up with those errors. Am I doing something wrong?

It looks like you don't have the latest version of cwm on you're phone. Try updating you're CWM to the newest version. Or install twrp recovery ( newest version and try again.
Be warned if you install twrp recovery then you're backup made in cwm recovery wont work should you wish to use it.
Below is a screen shot showing you're problem.

Thanks. I updated clockwork and it worked perfectly. Though its extremely annoying that I don't get my apps and data and all that I would normally get when doing a regular Google based ROM. Is there a way to get all that with custom ROMs? Do I just need to do a flash of Google play store or something?

If you flash Gapps immediately after flashing the ROM, it should give you the options to download your apps and system settings during initial setup, if that's what you're asking.

You need to flash gapps package for google apps like playstore, gmail..etc. Link are often given together in the OP of the rom thread.
Excellent. Thank you all. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those! You've all been a great help.

One more question. Kernels. I know some are ment purely for custom ROMs. But is there a place I can get Kernels for a stock ROM? I haven't decided on a custom ROM yet, but I'd like to tweak this one as much as I can before.

They support both, the exception being with CM kernels.
