Just got my Nexus 4, have a few questions.

If I was going to install a custom ROM or Kernel, can it update OTA?
For example, if I downloaded Cyanogen mod 10.1 and Francos r17 kernel, is there a button in the settings somewhere to download the latest update once it's released?
Any other things I should do when I first turn it on?
Only ever used an iPhone before this, so no idea what I should be doing
Can I sync with iTunes?
I know where the folder in which iTunes stores music files is, but it would nice if it would sync with iTunes.
Lastly, any fun/useful apps?
Free or otherwise

1. CM10.1... you can use the built in Update Checker
Franco Kernel: You can buy his updater app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5mcmFuY28ua2VybmVsIl0. he has a free one but not updated for N4
2. turn off automatic location reporting in google map settings

Thanks, I guess that's all I need to know.
Edit : Oh yeah, any recommended Roms?

Thanked twice

To piggyback on this question, will the stock ROM update ota if I'm running stock ROM with a custom kernel?

having a custom recovery will cause OTA failures. to flash a custom kernel, you need a custom recovery.

I need help?

I just flashed my N10 with Custom ROM CM10.1 but I realized I don't like it that much.
My N10 is rooted, and I do not know how to roll back to the stock rom because I forget to do a full backup. Please help, im running on 4.2.2
Thank you! I just want to roll back

Google search for factory image for Nexus 10. Or install a stock rooted 4.2.2 ROM from the development section, or try out other ROMs and see if you like them better.
I dont really understand though how you dont like CM10.1, it is the same as stock but with a couple more features and bugfixes. What could you possibly not like about it?

Just check out the sticky threads on the nexus 10 general forum. They have a thread with stock roms.
However my suggestion would be to try out more custom roms. They too are available on a sticky thread. Specially the vanilla rootbox one which is working great for me.

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

Try using carbon ROM and Trinity kernel I have that set up on my N10 and my N4 and both devices smoke man they are fast as hell....try rasbean too all of this is in the nexus 10 original development section ......if your looking for close to stock as possible try mmuzzy ROM its stock with performance enhancements ....don't fret man that's the best part flashing different ROMs and kernels to suit you best man :cyclops:

I suggest using AOKP Pub with the Trinity Kernel. Awesome combination, super smooth, good battery life and nice performance - plus a ton of options for customization

Take a deep breath man. When I saw this thread I thought you dropped it in the toilet or something. LOL Not a big deal, it is easy to go back. If your head is spinning because of all the different options available in CM play around with it for a few days, it will grow on you.

Take it easy buddy. There is a tons of stuff that you could do with your rooted nexus.

He just wants to go back to stock. I don't think he wants to unroot.
Or at the very least he does not know that you can be rooted and on stock.

Well, the reason I do not like about the CM10.1 and most custom ROMs is that it doesnt support google play store and also it lacks the google pinyin(input method)which comes default on the nexus 10 and the google pinyin i download on the official site is way different than the default built-in one.

Nobody would use custom ROMs if they couldn't use the play store also you can pull the pinyin apk and install it to any custom rom

Well the reason Id want to flash back to my stock rom was because when I tried flashing gapps I cant get into rcovery mode i kept getting a dead android with exclaimation mark.

Then you have a corrupt download or something weird. Most ROM's need to flash a gapps package after the ROM gets flashed so you have the official Google apps like the play store. There are one or two ROMs with these apps built in but the "proper" way is to separate the apps into the different installs. Though if you use a ROM with an Aroma installer, I have always seen gapps get flashed as a part of that. Mr.Robinson's AOKP PUB is a good example of that.

Also in regards to pinyin you would have to flash to stock/rooted use something like es file explorer goto /system/apps copy the pinyin apk to your normal storage(virtual sdcard) then you can flash whatever you want and copy that apk back to /system/app set permissions to read write read read and maybe reboot. You should then have the one you want working.

[Q] Flashed CM10.1 but don't have GMail, Chrome, YouTube and other default apps?

TItle says it all... is this normal--- first time flashing CM10.1 or any other ROM for that matter. How do I get these "default" apps back?

Your going to get scalded for not reading the instructions on the cm thread or website... Go download the Google apps it's posted in the development section in many of the roms then flash from your recovery

I thought I did install the Gapps from the GooManager...

I had the same issue recently, no idea why they didn't install properly. But when I restored my applications when it just goes through and installs them one by one from the market they all came back.

Look at the apk's in the Gapps zip so you know what's being installed, many are NOT included since they're available on Play. This is normal.

Slow down.
Do you have Play, News and Weather or Talk in your app drawer? If so, you've successfully flashed Gapps. The rest of the "apps" installed are various sync adapters, etc...

Help me peoples please i dont know what to dooooo

You really need to read up on what's included in the gapps package...
Sent from my Google Nexus 4 LG-E960

WTF are up with all these errors???? First the Gapps crap and now "Unfortunately the Setup Wizard has Stopped" too... Why can't this just work!

Ok I restored to a previous backup before I flashed CM10.1 ...

They are not included in cm's gapps. Download them from play store...
Skickat från min Nexus 4

after you flash cm10
if you have playstore then just download the apps your missing thru the play store
if you dont understand what people are telling you
i suggest you go back and re read the instructions on how to flash a rom

Why wouldn't they include them? Thats stupid (in my opinion)... now I have to figure out what apps came stock on my phone- and how do I delete some of the apps that came installed with CM10.1?

Because they're available on Play, so most "official" gapps packages don't include them.
They don't come with the ROM because CM doesn't want to get sued by Google, and they're not part of AOSP.

If you think it is "stupid" dont use cm10 then and go find another rom.
is it really that hard to redownload the apps? or just make a damn backup an restore it
and either uninstall the apps. or use titanium backup to uninstall any app you want.
i would say search XDA for your answers, before this turns into 20 questions.

Unable to click install button from apk file

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Disable HALO if you want to install apk`s.

Geez. You know how to flash paranoid android but not how to search? This has been mentioned many times..

Disable screen filter if you by any chance using it
It happened to me yesterday and it was found it was caused by file screen.

Disable Halo, then you can install it.
If you actually looked through the PA thread, you'd see this has been answered over 50 times within the last few pages.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.

thanks

AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.

There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

[Q] Custom ROM lacking AOSP features/functionality

Hi all,
I just rooted to Carbon ROM and am able to scroll around and open applications etc, but my Home button isn't working, keyboard isn't available, gapps are missing etc. I loaded on the latest gapps (gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip) through CWR but I guess these issues are pointing to the fact it hasn't worked? I might be wrong on this, so please correct me.
My phone has 4.3 android and loaded with SuperSU v 1.65.
Please help?
Thank you

It's a Nexus 4. I figure out the issue. It was basically an incorrect gapps file, so none of the basic phone features were working. Thanks though.
