I want to know how to build the latest AOSP realease. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can somebody help me? I want to build the latest aosp (4.3)from source and flash it to my N4. There's a few builds out. But they have mods and other extras added. I want a full stock aosp ROM. No mods. No extras. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Google is your friend here:

This is also a very good guide:

Just bought a N4

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

How can I get plain JSS build?

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!

which unofficial cm11?

There are some cm11 daily builds for our devices. Which one do you recommend to use? Thanks.
İ think you dont use cm11.. İ suggest psx rom.. Fast, smooth ve stable.. You should try it..you will like it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I second this question. I've seen around 5 unofficial CM11 builds. Of those, which one is good?
Side question, so far, which 4.4 ROM works the best?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
İ am using psx kitkat rom.. While i using 4.3 i was using. My favourite is psx rom.. Exactly you should install and live speed
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
the "what is best" topics aren't really allowed on this forum.
OP is asking about CyanogenMod, not PSX.
You should use Euroskank, it's the next closest to official ÇyanogenMod.

Most of them are going to be nearly identical unless the builder has added their own changes. I personally use these, just make sure you choose the ones tagged 4.4, as the poster also does 4.3 and 4.2 builds on a nightly basis.
I'd recommend building your own, if you're capable.
I normally flash whichever one is the most recently compiled. Got to have the latest version right? On the odexed version by Bruce and i think it's the best performer bit i always like euroskank. Always had features before they are merged

4.4 SMS changes? HELP

Been using this custom mms.apk for a while now. I and some others have been trying to get it to work on 4.4. I don't really know what I am doing as this is the first apk I have ever decompiled. Really would like someone who knows what they are doing to help get it working. Original thread is here.

Have you had any luck? I've come to the conclusion that dealing with the 4.2 source is a waste of time and that we should Terry with a 4.3 instead(at least according to other themers and modders )

For n7105 and t0lte devices {NOT FOR N7100}

There is a nice aosp 5.1.1 rom coming your way. For now it is found here https://plus.google.com/+Jamesmancuso1134/posts/dsUPbUAqPu3 on g+. When/if I get time I will post an Op.
For now this is a nice mostly aosp rom with many custom settings. It is lightweight and even has the "RRO LAYERS" theme engine fully integrated. This is not your common CM "clone" rom. Check it out. If you like it share it with your friends.
