Hi guys,
The question is as above. How do I update my paranoid android rom through goo manager?
I downloaded the new rom files but I ain't sure what to do under the flahs rom section. Do i have to do a factory reset or do i have to wipe the cache?
I tried updating once without any of these options. In the end, i lost my google apps. When I reinstore it, the expanded desktop function went missing. So I am hoping that someone can tell me the proper way of flashing it to avoid this problem in the future. Thank you!
Go read the first post of the paranoid android rom under android original development. Don't flash things until you read the instructions. Cache is wiped by the rom, and you need gapps with a new install.

as mentioned, you should always read the ROM thread completely before you flash.
the correct procedure is to download the updated zip, optionally check the md5 sum to make sure it did not get corrupted in transit [but if it got corrupted, I think CWM will tell you, and fail to even try to flash the zip], then flash the rom, and then flash gapps before rebooting. [if you reboot before flashing gapps, you will have to re-login, and re-authenticate apps like Google Voice, etc].

This actually makes no difference, aside from making the process more time consuming. The few and far between anecdotes that led to this practice are a cum hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Without a doubt, it does not hurt anything, but it also yields no real benefit over flashing in the same recovery session.

This doesn't really matter, apart from making you have to "Android is Upgrading" 2x.
The process I follow which never fails me is (there may be a quicker way, but I know this will always work):
1 - Download ROM / Kernel / GAPPS etc
2 - Move all downloaded files to a single folder named "Flashing" or something
3 - Reboot to Recovery
4 - Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
5 - Flash ROM
6 - Flash GAPPS
7 - Flash Kernel
8 - Wipe Cache / Dalvik
That is the process for updating Paranoid android
Updating to a completely different ROM would require a Factory reset and Format

You can safely leave off steps 2, 4, & 8
Anything you download using goo goes into a folder called goo manager. Just flash from there.
Wiping cache and dalvik is an old wives tale so to speak. You aren't doing a damn bit of good doing that. You can skip it

I know about the Goo Folder, however I like to keep all my stuff in the same place, and I download my Kernels from browser so I made my own for Flashing
Why is it a wives tale?

Because when you flash a new ROM to /system, it has to rebuild the dalvik for the signature on the new ROM. Android handles this on its own. I haven't checked but I bet the updater-script wipes cache for you also. I have never manually wiped cache and dalvik for a ROM update on my nexus devices.

Ok great.

On my S3 and S2 there where a few super wipe zip files that would factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and clear all kernel settings.
This was handy for flashing roms since you would flash this via recovery and you would be good to go to install your rom
Is there such a script for the S4 cause I have been looking for a while with no luck.
I dont want to use the ones for the S3 in case they are not compatible

I'm not saying it's hard just when you flash a rom a day it adds up. Plus if using twp you simply need to add to the queue and then the rom and your done.
Also it avoids forgetting something for a clean install
Just asking that's all

TWRP has a 1 step wipe procedure....slide the bar is all you do. 2 seconds.
sliding that bar does this...
factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and clear all kernel settings.
That is why you can't find a wipe script, btw, I looked yesterday for you, was going to post a link, never seen one for g4 actually.

The VrTheme engine may require that, but the maker of the actual theme, incorporated the fix, I have flashed 2 of these themes already using TWRP.

Hi,
I flashed the Google 4.3 S4 Rom and used TWRP 2.5.0.2 and Goo with instructions I found on the boards.
- I am a Canadian (Rogers/FIDO) S4
- I used the 4.3 ROM Deodexed
So now the problems:
1) I originally installed it and it was constantly stuck on 'Samsung Galaxy S4' Screen, couldn't proceed barely got into recovery and reflashed; this worked and it booted google and i realized why this happened is because i accidentally erased my data.
2) The second time, I simply turned off my phone and turned it back on, again i was stuck on 'Samsung Galaxy S4' Screen, no way of doing anyhing except turnging off the phone and trying again and again to get to recovery, I then flashed to 4.3 again off the external.
3) I simply tried to open facebook and the phone booted and went on to the 'Samsung Galaxy S4' Screen and is stuck again! Even when I reboot through Team Win Recovery v2.5.0.2 to System I get the same boot loop.
I am super frustrated with this, what can I do and at this point I'm getting to the point where I would like some help to go back to stock. I would also like some input as to why this is happening if anyone has any suggestions or help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Which google rom 4.2.2? there are a few, meaning where did you get the rom?
Which kernel did you use?
you say you have this...both roms require a certain kernel. Depending on whose rom you flashed.

Ok, now we're cooking, thanks for the info...
I haven't tried that rom yet, I am going to d/l it and give it a shot. Be back shortly.
ODIN back to stock, and start over from there, and take care to flash/erase properly. backup user apps/data if you can (there are non-root options) and restore when you finish flashing 4.3 and are sure its stable.
Ok..back...I flashed this rom I booted with the kernel supplied in rom. Hmm..it is kernel related for sure. Have you posted the issue in that roms thread? May want to give that a shot.
I'm on canadian S4 aswell and I also flashed the 1.3 Google edition but flashed faux kernel. Works like a charm.

Proper wiping steps is key when changing ROM bases. Do a factory reset, wipe both caches, format /system, and if coming from TW, format the internal also.
Here is a post by TeamWin on wiping for Roms. Formatting Data is not part of "normal" wipe process. It wipes your internal sd.
http://teamw.in/whattowipe
These guys are far above me. But my preferred method is to "Wipe" System/Data/Both Caches. I actually do it twice. I know many say no need, but I do. I did this for many years on previous phones and never had issues. If on Nightlies or incremental updates did not wipe unless OP said to.

The internal wiping isn't necessary, but it does get rid of TW folders that you don't need if switching to AOSP.
I think you could delete them individually as opposed to formatting entire internal with other rom backups/kernels/gapps etc. I also have music/pics on internal too. Also, I like some will go back and forth btwn aosp and tw. So, I would want to keep them. I never did that, but read about some having issues after Formatting Data
All IMHO--

Yup, common problem with the new TMO G2's. There's a workaround:
I'm assuming the ROM you're trying is something like CloudyFlex? Anyways, here's what you'll have to do.
1) Install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664652 (It takes a LONG time to flash, 5-10 mins but be patient!)
2) DO NOT REBOOT device after it installs. Instead, wipe data and cache then flash your desired ROM, CloudyFlex for example.
3) Then flash SuperSU. (DO NOT FORGET THIS PART <<<< Very important part or else you're stuck with that ROM)
4) Then reboot phone and enjoy ROM.
Doing this way you lose recovery but you can gain it back by using this simple to use app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
P.S. This whole procedure only applies to LG KK ROM's, if you wish to flash AOSP ROM's like CM11, the regular procedure that you're used to is fine.
If you have any other questions, let me know. Good luck!

I did see AutoRec but wasn't sure I needed to do that.
Does this create problems in going back to 4.2.2 ROMs?
Do I have to do step #1 every time I flash a 4.4.2 ROM or just the first time?
Can I still restore a backup from recovery?

No on your first question. Pertaining to your second question, this whole process is only needed if you wish to use any of the LG KitKat ROM's such as CloudyFlex, CloudyPro, Lightning ROM, etc etc.

first thing I would say is, do odin to your new firmware, and the out the system, without installing or restore apps, and app data, see if everything is working fine, sometimes by restoring older app data you might run into some problems..

What do you mean with "do odin and the out of the system"?
Use ODIN.. what I mean to say is do the full firmware via ODIN,
And use it like that, a fresh install, see if everything is working well, you should have no problems.
Then see when the lag starts if you are restoring your apps with data.

you didn't answer to my question earlier. Did you do a full wipe ?
by default, any flashing of firmware won't wipe your device. It has been suggested by most ppl here, and other forums website, that if you face any trouble with the new firmware, always do a full wipe. It helps most of the time with most of the funny funny issue.
no i didnt do a wipe as i got it OTA not through odin
can you tell me how to do it

are the 2 of you the same person ? LOL
@drashrafsabry : very simple, if you done the OTA already, now try to do full wipe (I assume you are not rooted)
1st of all, you will need to backup your contact (if you keep on your device), you can do by exporting it to sd card, or merge with google/samsung account.
2nd thing you need to backup your sms (if you still need to keep it).
3rd and most important : full wipe from stock recovery, it will delete the entire internal storage. So, if you have any data (photo, movie, songs, etc) which you keep it inside internal storage, you must copy first to your sd card / or your PC / laptop (somewhere else other than internal storage.
Once you finish with all that backup, you may shutdown your device (wait until vibrate to make sure it shutdown completely).
Once it is shutdown, press the 3 combos (vol up + home + power) to go into recovery.
Once inside recovery, choose wipe data, and after finish choose wipe cache.
when it is finish, reboot.
PS : you will need to re setup your initial setup after that.
Good luck.
