And I'm searching through this forum, I have already unlocked and rooted. I currently have cwm 6.0.2.3 id like to get twrp. Can I simply use goo manager and install it that way?
Other question what the hell is MAKO? I'm not sure what stuff I can flash for stock 4.3 some of the stuff doesnt really say. Some of the things say for aosp but arent we technically aosp if we are stock?
I had the old Nexus S and that was easier ro guide through. I also have a Note 2 on sprint which is really Easy to tell what I can and can't flash.
My build # JWR66V.

Mako = Nexus 4
AOSP is the raw Android, with none of the Google apps/features, but it can have some additional features added depending on the developer
Yes you can install twrp through goo manager just fine.

Ahh k so AOSP would be more like CM. And stock is stock however can't find a kernel for stock 4.3 that is.

Stock 4.3 comes with a kernel. If you want a kernel for "stock 4.3 (JWR66V)" use Faux 018, semaphore (non J) or Franco.
Try and word it better.
Stock: JWR66V
AOSP: JSS15J
Using a JSS15J kernel on a JWR66V build (and vice versa) will cause screen tearing.
Mako is the codename of the Nexus 4. All the Nexus devices have a fish as codename.
AOSP is the Android Open Source Project.
For a Nexus Google compiles AOSP, then pre-installs some of their Apps and thus replaces some of the AOSP ones.
CyanogenMod works similar for a Nexus. They take AOSP Android, add functionality and compile it.
Installing the Google Apps is optional.
The stock Rom replaces the AOSP camera app with Googles one.
The Cyanogenmod camera app is the AOSP camera app with additional settings.
The stock Rom replaces the AOSP music player with Google Play Music.
Cyanogenmod replaces it with Apollo.
Currently there is the Nemesis Project from the cyanogenmod guys. They want to fix the shortcomings of the AOSP android experience.
The first thing is the camera app. The AOSP one is lacking, to put it gently. They bring us their own app, called Focal which makes the Samsung, HTC,... camera apps look like toys.
Used it for the first time today and it is THE ****!

Thanks but you didn't have to go that far I mean I pretty much know about that I was just simply a little confused when it came to what I can flash on what I can't because of the building numbers and I was a little confused on if I was on AOSP already kind of like with Samsung devices you have the option between either touch wiz or AOSP for the most part

Ok so I want to flash slim bean to test Rom, I am currently on stock Samsung rom with the only addition of Superuser root, is it possible to odin the cwm recovery to make a backup of stock rom then wipe everything to flash the new rom I want? If not can someone give me the correct steps to take thanks,

Hi, what I would do is Odin Shabby's or AGAT's custom recovery found in the Android and Original Development sub-forums. Both are confirmed to work with creating and restoring backups. I've personally used Shabby's customer recovery twice to restore backups after testing CM10.1.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.
Alright cool thanks!, I had the gs2 before this phone so I knew it was somewhat the same but I wanted to double check before killing my phone lol
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Go to the Android Development forum and go to Shabbypenguins OUHDS recovery thread, and it provides excellent instructions on installing the recovery.
SLIMBEAN is working great BTW. I have been rocking it since it came out. I was so pumped because I got my S4 the day it came out and before that I was using Slimbean on my S3 so I'm glad the first AOSP rom up and running well enough for a daily driver was Slimbean!
Look out for Garywn's CM, AOKP, and PA roms, those she be up and running soon enough! Actually CM is in beta as well now!

Do it! Takes like two seconds
Yeah AOSP has none of the exclusive TW features, including but not limited to things like smart stay, air gestures, etc.
The camera has the standard AOSP features, still looks just as good, just missing some of the TW stuff!
SLIMBEAN looks so much better visually though then touch wiz haha, worth it.

I can't post in the official development thread, so I've posted here:
Does anyone know if TouchControl (aka slide2wake) app works on the stock kernel of 4.3 version?
If it doesn't, any solution to make it works?
Thanks
No.
You will need a custom kernel which has the feature to work.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks.
Can you suggest me a stable kernel with this feature in it?
No one has really made a custom 4.3 kernel except for Franco but that only has a few changes. You'll have to wait for the Dev to actually update the app and he'll release a modified stock kernel like before

What he said. The pure stock kernel has injecting disabled or whatever it was so the dev of Touch Control would need to compile stock kernel and remove that security feature.

Actually, I think the developer of touchwake has to update this mod to be compatible with 4.3. So just wait out for a while.

The developer also needs a kernel based on 4.3 for it to work as well. Not just the app, as the app relies on the kernel and the kernel relies on the injection from the app.
Thanks to all, I'll wait for a modified stock kernel by the developer app.
They discovered a way to modify the stock 4.3 kernel on a Galaxy Nexus to make Touch Control work!
So it's just a question of days until we get a modified kernel for the Nexus 4.
Hopefully...
Just asking who has flashed 4.3 then found its full of bugs and then reflashed 4.2.2 !!

Me, just now.
Was unhappy with the scrolling (stuttery & laggy - to me it seemed like the touch sensor was being polled less because while your finger was touching & moving, the screen scroll stuttered, when released, it continued its scrolling smoothly)
Also, WiFi was sometimes not reconnecting - had to either reboot or forget / re-join.
also had an issue with the camera flash failing to operate after 3 or 4 photos.
I was beginning to think I was imagining my N4 was nice an smooth - but I got so annoyed with 4.3 I unlocked & flashed 4.2.2 factory image. IT Is DEFINITELY smoother.
Screen stutter/lag can be rendered by checking "hardware overlays" in dev options

I've flashed a couple of 4.3 ROMs starting with stock but keep going back to LiquidSmooth v 2.9. I don't see any degradation in performance with 4.3, I have been getting better battery life from LiquidSmooth.
There were a couple of apps that I use that were not performing well with 4.3. I decided to flash back to cm because of this. It was mainly Swype that was driving me crazy. I'm unsure if it was the fault of Swype not being updated for 4.3 or if it was the screen polling of 4.3 everyone is talking about.

I don't see hardware overlays. Do you mean "disable HW overlay " or "force GPU rendering" ?
These were default (I.e not disabled and not forced)
Im not sure these would help?!?!
I tried 4.3 two times, but after a few hours I reverted back to CM10.1 :silly:
I'll wait for good and stable custom kernels, and for good custom ROM's.
It's me. I expect 4.3 very much. I update to stock 4.3, Titanium can't remove system app. So I tried to use PA rom, version 3.91, while I'm download PA rom, I detect a new version of PA, version 3.92. I'm very suprise with PA group speed, they're provide rom patchs continuous. And I had to download from beginning. After that, I install new rom with a big expectation but titanium still can't remove system app. Finally I had to restore to PA 3.69 by TWRP and wait a new rom version :crying:
Tried a custom CyanogenMod 4.3 Build, but I prefer to stay with the "current" nightlies right now.
Theres a reason why they didnt start rolling out nightlies already.
A question, where did you get the CM build? Is it from the team itself or was it made by someone else?
4.3, same on the outside, fubar on the inside.
My fears about the head honcho of android chrome being made head of the whole OS have come to bare.
If it wasn't for the fact that 4.3 fixed the double dial issue for us Solavei users id go back to CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2)

I might revert back. I get several hours less battery time with 4.3 because Android OS "keep awake" is draining my battery. I never had such issues with 4.2.2. :/

I am looking for a completely stock 4.3 rom that is JSS, that is odexed; which means no theme capability.
Basically I want a stock factory image of JSS. So I can use jss kernels. And etc...
All I see are deodexed with some features implemented. If possible I would like to know if there's a version of this or not? Because I do not see one.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Reason why i ask this is because all these roms' have bugs and issues where as the stock factory image does not.

If you used cm10.2 you can odex it with odex.me and I can upload that apk if you want. Cm is basically stock with a few improvements.

I don't want the improvement because those improvements involved bugs and problems any CyanogenMod build is always buggy there's not one single build that's a hundred percent perfect.
There are a few stock ish JSS roms however most of them still implement their own kind of features which I don't want. All I want is the stock image of JSS kind of like JWR OTA.

there is no actual stock JSS image. JSS is source only right now. You can only get the image for JWR. If you want JSS so badly, ask a developer to cook the rom for you without root. Only way is to compile from source.
This will probably be the closest you'll get. It has no root but has the Google apps replacing the AOSP ones so it's as close to a factory image as you can get. I'm about try it myself as I prefer to have 100% stock as well

Hi everybody!
I just read great thread about JSS and JWR builds:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382880
So looks like plain vanilla JSS is better than JWR.
I checked Original Development section and didn't find it, there are lots of custom ROMs. They are nice and I used couple of them on my old phone.
But.
But I would like to try one 'clear' build, straight from the source. Is it possible to find? Or I need to compile one myself? (Have no idea how
Thanks!
