ROM PA question - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I do not know is my PA rom working properly. Superuser is granted kaychain is first thing i do not get. Second, I can't use PA child preset thing, on my N4, on N7 works great. And last thing, goomanager is saying there's an update for my rom but there is none, cause i checked on goomanager and from web directly. Is this any to be concerned, and is there way to see is my room working good? And how to reset it all and download rom, gapps and stuff all again? When i factory reset once my tablet mide from PA stayed, even though I still haven't installed it yet...
Please help.
Nexus 4, PA 3.65, Franco kernel milestone 3...

goomanager is causing us way too many issues right now. we will make our own app - its actually finished already.

New CM9 Nightly Builds for TF101

Hello people,
I was looking through the nightly builds on download.cyanogenmod.com
I saw a fresh build for TF101 dated for 2/27.
Check it out. I will flash it and see how it is.
Someone also needs to create an Official CM9 Nightly page in Dev section.
So who wants to be the Guinea pig? I'm already running that KANG that was posted up earlier this weekend. I may try it after I charge up.
yea...guinea pig here....goes through boot animation and then system ui and trebuchet (the launcher) fc...i would say stay away until some official announcement is made
Yeah. It doesn't even boot up probably. :-(... going back to stock

You have to start somewhere.
Now at least we have an official CM9 branch, which means someone is working on it

I got launcher force closes when i had an overclocked kernel with a stock rom. Gonna check this out a little later.

I'm surprised that this news seems to be not generating much buzz here. Not knocking any of the other devs, because most of them do amazing work, but CM is the bee's knees. When those nightlies get semi-mature, I'll be running them and never look back. They've never done me wrong before. Any device I've ever had that was supported, was the best ROM available for my needs. YMMV, of course.
I think when its own thread is created youll see the buzz, cm rocks lol

I tried flashing it and got the same fc, the system ui and launcher. I tried it again but formatted system this time. Got the same results but was able to see the clock and tablet reboot options.
Guess it's not ready yet

Yep, same here, even with wipe dalvik and fix permissions, FC´s :S
Let us wait for a new update....
Alas, I ran across this on get.cm also. Got excited and then had the FC issues like everyone else. At least it is a step in the right direction.
Don´t know if its related,
lost my wifi hability after trying this, anyone else?
it just won´t turn on :S
Was just about to try flashing it until I saw how many people were unsuccessful. Oh well, guess I'll wait until an official release.

Not sure if it's related or not but my wifi on a Kanged version of CM9 is acting weird, disconnecting and saying out of range.
I tried this one first but it could just be the ROM I'm on.

Ok got it to work again, had to use Super Wipe Lite from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892
after running the script flashed latest revolver and got wifi backup....
Same here, will try your suggestion below.
Edit: Had to run the wipe zip, reflash and boot into current rom and the restore a backup to get it working again. PITA But it works.

i would like to see MIUI V4 on tab, as it will be easier to port than 2.x was ^_^
New official CM9 nightly on get.cm. It boots!!! Gonna test it and report back in a bit.
EDIT1: Wifi works and was able to log into my Google account. Currently restoring my Titanium Backup and will test a bit more after that. Also, camera makes the tablet reboot on first launch, but works after that. Odd. More info to come.
EDIT2: Face unlock is there, but doesn't recognize my face, so I can't test it out. It couldn't recognize my face on my Nexus S 4G either. Maybe my face is just derped up. Anyway, there is nothing that I could tell that is broken. Even the MicroSD mounted with no issue. I don't have a keyboard dock to test it out, otherwise I would. Games and videos both work fine.

Nexus 7 PA 2.12 Wifi issues..

Posting here as I'm a noob, and consequently can't post to the P.A page directly.
Since this 2.12 update i've been having wifi issues, like from where i am positioned normally I get 1 bar, but its a steady one bar, now i'm often finding i have no internet connection in the same places as i would before.
I did do a dirty flash, so that is most probably where all my problems are arising from, but i'm still really new to this, and any step i take, i worry and fret over.
had some tablet ui bugs after running games, along with all applications running twice when i open recent apps. I don't know where why or when this recent apps double bug occurs, but i've come across it a few times. I believe the tablet ui bug may be related to when i set bobclock (widget) to force, adjusted the size on restart, but then would encounter the icons dropped off bottom of screen, and everything just out of place, like its reverted to old ui.
oh another issue, which has been mentioned many times before, is inability to use google play store, i've fiddled with all the different dpi settings and size, nothing seems to work.
a clean wipe would include
backing up apps/data/p.a sys pref(?)
wiping
cleaning cache's
flashing the same 2.12 p.a zip i dirty flashed before
caches again? or gapps
any dumbing down would be greatly appreciated
Just to say version 2.13 is out. You might want to try updating in the first instance...

if doing a dirty flash, when reinstalling gapps, do i have to have deleted them prior to this? or will it just replace/update the old files?
No, you don't need to. Just wipe both caches and install the new version and gapps.

Wouldn't Kernel be more specifically tied to WiFi issues? I don't know what PA does to the kernel they include, but if your up to it, you could try another kernel, like franco.Kernel
Oh. Yes. i've been on that page and have trolled through a few hundred pages.
I think I just need to become a bit more familiar with everything in regards to roms flashing and such, its not difficult but i fear i'm sure to do something in the wrong order,
yes i've read guides before you point me there.
gosh this 5 min wait timer for new people is getting on my nerves i didn't think i'd be wanting to reply so fast, but when you guys are on it like this, i can't turn down that kinda service!
another question while i wait for my timer to finish.
initially i flashed pa. 2.11 then gapps along with doing cache business.
since then i flashed 2.12, but not gapps, and consequently having issues with play store (cant open)
can i just go to flashing 2.13 when it finishes downloading and then flash gapps after?
is the latest gapps jb-20120726-signed?

a kernel is one of these things i have no clue about.
i had a mac many years ago, and that got a kernel error, so my knowledge is limited to that its something root related, or there abouts anyway xd
How does one go about implementing one of these kernel do-hickeys?
on a side note, my wireless icon used to show grey and blue.
blue meant connected, grey, i'm not sure.. sometimes worked sometimes didn't
ever since going to 2.12 i've had nothing but grey, seem to have connection as i am downloading from goo, but as mentioned in initial post, connection is definately worse than it was before hand.. any ideas?

Sorry I took a while, I was in class. First, you always have to reflash gapps when you flash an update or a new ROM.
When you change to a different ROM (i.e. from Slim Bean to Paranoid) it's recommended to do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing the new ROM.
So the procedure for new ROMs is this. Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.
The procedure for a ROM update is the same, you just omit the factory reset.
The latest gapps is gapps jb-20120810. You can download it in Goo manager.

A kernel is what governs your CPU clock speeds and voltage levels, as well as some other things. To flash a kernel, you don't have to wipe anything, just flash the zip file. Whenever you flash a new ROM, it changes your kernel to whatever is stock for that ROM. So if you use a custom kernel, you will have to reflash it.

might anyone have any idea why after;
wiping both cashes and installing p.a 2.13 then gapps
my youtube comes up with an error from the beginning, unable to start, same goes for if you click it in the app drawer.
i fiddled about with dpi size force and such, but to no avail.
some settings transferred but not all, like the ui, after switching ui back to what i wanted, tab small/mid
i started to recieve trebuchet has stopped working, this keeps popping up but you can just leave it in the back ground and work around it..
wish i could post this in the correct thread..
ah well.
thinking of just re-flashing them both, will do whatever i did this previous time, see if the error returns.
edit: just finished the reflashing of both, no trebuchet error as expected, the youtube one is back, same as the previous flash.
i really don't think i've done anything wrong, but i haven't seen anyone else reporting this error..
edit edit: simple uninstall and reinstall for youtube and problem solved.
hope its an issue localised to me.

Yeah I would reflash. It could also be a corrupted download, try re-downloading paranoid android 2.13 and then flashing the newer zip to see if that fixes it.

Hi.
I am running Paranoid 3+ and loving it.
Was wondering one thing though.
The MMS app is missing features such as dark theme and the popup function and some more. Is this due to the ROM or android version ?
Before I flash another MMS app I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks.

The developer took out the cyanogenmod MMS app (the one with popup and dark theme) because some users were reporting that they were having troubles with picture messaging. You can try replacing it with the one from cyanogenmod to see if you still get the popup

OK, thanks. I don't want the popup bit everything else. Gonna flash the CM app and see if it works out fine. Thanks for the quick reply.
hi bros..

Just do a nandroid. Wipe cache and dalvik 2x each then flash. If it dorks up restore and use my backup root or carbon maybe to backup apps and then wipe all 2x and flash rom and gapps

It does take some time to read but it is worth it in the long run. Call it an "investment". Asking advice is fine, but again you must have some knowledge of your own because you will occasionally get bad advice. No one on here will have to pay for a new phone if you brick it. You will. Did you read the first post of the PA thread? Have you read the sticky threads? You must not have because the answers to your questions are there.
this will help you :

[SOLVED] Nexus 4 screen is too dark.

Right after fresh installing Paranoidandroid 3.5, I noticed that the colors on my Nexus 4 are too dark.
Any ideias on why and how to fix it?
There are several kernels that have the capability of changing the colors. That will help slightly. Auto brightness is pretty dim on this phone. You might try going to manual.
I had the same issue with auto brightness being too dim, so I used manual until AOKP implemented custom auto brightness settings.
Sent from an N4 blessed with AOKP and sanctified by Faux123!
That's thing, my problem is not the brightness it's the colors itself they over satured but with darker shadows / higher contrast.
I found this post, maybe it will help. (I still can't upload outside links so) :silly:

I remembered to look around the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh, where I found "Restore Stock Kernel".
Now if I want to change my kernel due to performance tweeks, I have to make sure I check if they also it also changes the colors.

[Q] Help me pick a ROM

So, I just got my Nexus 4, and before I start playing with it, I'd like to go ahead and ROM it.
I want really good battery life, and lots of customization options for the UI.
I don't know a TON about ROMs aside from how to install them etc. I've done that a bit with several phones.
My big question is nightlies. I REALLY don't want to have to reinstall a new ROM every day, or even every week... I want one that I can install, and use for a long time that updates itself (like the stock ROM does with Google). My understanding of nightlies might be completely wrong, but it sounds like I have to reinstall the ROM every day?
What are your thoughts/opinions? I'm leaning toward CM10.1, but like I said, I don't want to have to reinstall every day. Does it auto update these "nightlies"?
If a nightly rom is fine you don't have to update it if you don't want to.

It wont auto-update. You have to flash it. And when new nightlies come out, there usually arent huge changes to the rom.
You can dirty flash the rom and all apps and settings should remain, however thats not the best way to install a rom for stabilty. Its recommended that you do a full wipe.
On a side note, if your looking for lots of customization options i wouldnt go with cm10.1. Try roms based on AOKP like carbon, liquid smooth, etc.
They have tons of settings to play around with which cyanogenmod lacks.

When a new nightly comes out and you was it, just flash the new update rom on top of the old one. Don't worry about installing your apps again. As long as you don't do a factory reset your apps should be on your device.
The latest PA rom is May 26 in the alpha folder of goo.im.

If I flash it on top of the other ROM, will my google account still be sync'd with the phone? That's how I update my contacts etc. Also text messages will stay? Settings will stay the same? Ringtones? All of it?

If you are coming from a different ROM you should probably do a full wipe.
Dirty flashing may cause bugs. But if you are upgrading the same ROM dirty flashing will allow you to keep everything.

What exactly is dirty flashing? I'm guessing flashing over the top of another ROM without doing a factory reset?

A lot of people seem to be complaining about goo.im download speeds. There's a couple mirrors on their g+ if its unbearably slow.

Leaving for movie with the wife, so they'll be done by the time we get home. They are mad slow from goo though:/

Indeed, I cancelled the other downloads, and grabbed the May 26th one.
If I flash it on top of the other ROM, will my google account still be sync'd with the phone? That's how I update my contacts etc. Also text messages will stay? Settings will stay the same? Ringtones? All of it?

Yes, everything will still be there as long as you don't initialize a factory reset.
Sweet. Including widget placement and alarm clocks etc etc?
That makes this ROMing thing a deal better to me. I was worried that i'd have to set everything back up every time, and that was a major turn off.
Thank you all so much for the very helpful input.
