ROM question - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Goo manager just notified me about a new update for paranoid android 3+ but the update is simply titled "5.zip" is this an update or a feature....? I have been browsing the web for it but haven't found it exactly what it is. The interesting thing is that when I search Roms on the goo manager app the "5.zip" file is located in a folder titled "butter" I'm not sure what this update is, any help would be much appreciated. (Sorry before I flash something I make 100% sure I know what it is)

[MARKET] New Android Market

Hi
Since I know some of you have issues finding the link to the new android market (v3.0.26), I thought that I'll post the app here...
enjoy
Isn't it supposed to update itself?
When is the official update coming out? Is it safe to install this apk file?

Do we really need another thread about this?

Uh... Are you basically asking us to spoon feed you with links? If you do a little search, you can easily find the answer.

The answers to your question are in the "Nexus 4 development section".. Look for the"Nexus 4 utility" thread. Nobody is going to link you when u can just go and look for yourself. It's 1 click fix. Good luck.

How are we being rude when you're the one who ain't putting the effort into looking it up on your own? I can understand if it's a question that not a lot of people know about - but in regards to your question, I could look it up in less than 2 minutes. Instead of making others spoon feed you with link(s), try to find it yourself.

I have tried googling my question but nothing comes up, the only links that pop up are how to root the nexus 4.
Yes find the xda link for that and if its how it should be you should also find a flash to stock, if you are a noon you should really start to make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM so you can always flash back

If you don't want to be called a noob for asking questions that have easy answers, then why not ask in the noob-friendly "Help Thread" in the stickies? It's a lot more fun for all of us, in the end. The reason no one is giving you links is because you wouldn't learn anything from it, you must become self sufficient if you wish to use XDA to its fullest
Folks if any of you have the issue i did please dont worry about the trolls, only 1 person seemed to offer advice as is evident in this thread if your using a mac your going to want to install windows 7 on the bootcamp.
Next download a program called LG google nexus 4 toolkit (I will provide a link unlike the trolls above) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688
When that is installed your going to want to boot your device in fastboot mode, launch the toolkit and select option 9.
then select option 1 so it downloads the latest stock rom and follow the on screen instructions, my phone is now restored. If any of you run into problems give me a shout and ill try help
For those not too keen on installing bootcamp another user posted this

let's simplify things for mac.
-create a folder on the desktop and rename it "nexus"
-download this: https://www.box.com/s/7s02gu6o1cn6wcz6fszr and extract the files in the "nexus" folder. don't create a new folder. just dump the files there
-download the images: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jop40c-factory-cd3dc140.tgz then extract them all in the "nexus" folder. there is a zip file inside which needs to be extracted as well.
-look in your "nexus" folder and see if it contains the fastboot and adb files and the 6 img files you extracted. if they are still within a folder, remove them and paste just inside the "nexus" folder you created.
-once that is set up, you can now follow the link of efrant's guide for flashing but when you use the fastboot command, you need to use it as ./fastboot-mac so that the commands will work.
-you can actually just go straight to bootloader mode or fastboot mode on your phone by turning it off then turning it on by pressing volume down and power.

Here is the link to Efrats guide as mentioned in the quote: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1
People aren't trolls. Right in the general section there is a sticky that has all the info one would need to get back to stock. Then as other posters have said there is toolkit threads in the dev sections as well that include going back to stock.
@Vermillon: If you're calling me a " troll ", you surely don't know the true meaning of that word.

Download factory image from Google, just search for nexus factory image.
Unpack it and run .bat file with phone connected.

[Q] Can't install apps?

I just recently restored my phone to stock and then rooted it again, after that I installed PA 3.5 (MAY 12)
Now I am trying to install several apps that I have on my SD card, I get to the screen where it prompts me to install them, but I absolutely cannot press the install button. I did check the installation from unknown sources on. Has anyone else had this issue? I tried factory resetting the phone but it didn't help, I know its a common issue as I used to have it on my sii but it would get fixed by just reflashing the rom. In this case nothing seems to help.

It could be an issue with the new feature halo in the new PA builds. Try disabling it then installing the app.

I'm pretty sure the OP was looking for suggestions. Sometimes the littlest things will make difference. And before you go off on me, the post above his says "it could be" and "try" this. The OP never came back and stated this resolved his issue.

OK guys I've learned a lot in the past 12 hours. I appreciate all of the help. My question, is it easier just to download cyanogenmod on the rom manager app than downloading it thru the website?

I would just go to the thread in the Original Development section on this forum, follow the direct link and download the latest nightly - I have experience with other devices but, after die research on here, bought my S4 this evening and had CM running ten minutes after I got home. You can do it too!

Now as far as any OTA updates i want/need, what is the protocol in getting them?
You can't get them on a custom rom
I forget what I read on a custom recovery and rooted--getting older--
I think you need to go back to stock--someone can confirm
I haven't Googled that yet either
There were some rootkeeper apps that were used on my other phones, don't know what works here
I never took OTA's after rooted and flashing my other phones as dev's seemed to have updates faster than my carrier

Generally, the newer firmware versions that get pushed out as OTA updates will be incorporated into custom Touchwiz roms, such as ShoStock and Mint Jelly. However, if you flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based rom such as SlimBean or AOKP, OTA updates will be completely meaningless. It's a different world altogether.
Either way, my advice is the same: Don't mess with OTA's. At best, they could give you the same features as a custom rom. At worst, they could kill the Loki exploit and lock your bootloader for good.

Updating Custom ROMs

I am using Purity 4.4 + Matrix 11.5 right now.
Now my question is how do you guys update your respective ROMs instead of flashing newer versions through recovery? I tried GooManager but it didn't work for me :-|
You should ask in thread about your rom. If devs do not do OTA update you must use recovery to update rom
I think most use recovery

Download updated ROM zip file and flash through recovery (TWRP for myself).

Well being a new member, I am not actually allowed to ask in ROM threads, that's why I asked here.

It's not hard but sometimes you get too lazy
Simple. Set up VM environment there are simple walkthrough video and once your set up you can pull straight out of the devs or any branch. I do my own when I feel I need to add a feature I do. There are a major variety of bases to choose from. Its much easier than many think. In my opinion its safer as I know exactly what I'm getting. Not to mention an addiction lay within too. Lol Have fun bro. Welcome to the machine. Many new devs are so stoked when the first ROM they build is complete they can't stop. Lol peace.
