[Q] Why do developers use JSS15J as base instead of JWR66V? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

also, what are the differences apart from the compilation number?

JWR66V is the main.
JWR66V is full of bugs but JSS15J is much better, stable and got better GPU speeds within the kernel but the reason it was not released for the Nexus 4 is because it was suppose to be for the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 7 itself has that update anyway.

I have JW installed, can i install normally a JS rom as a zip? Will the last baseband work with it?

Yep, unfortunately if you want fully stock then that is not really an option but you can look in the development forums for the perfect one for you, there is literally more then 1 available.

[Q] Best way to get LTE on Nexus 4

I recently switched from a Galaxy s3 to a Nexus 4 and would like to get LTE on it as Rogers does not support DC-HSPA 42Mbps. So far from all the threads i have read say there are a few ways to do this:
1) downgrade to 4.2.1
2) Flash 4.2.2 with the .33 Radio.
3) custom Rom 4.2.2 with .33 Radio.
From what i gathered people who flashed .33 radio (or older) on 4.2.2 have been having a range of problems. And apparently 4.2.1 has a lot of bugs in general?
It would be great if someone who has already done this could post about their experience with each of the options as i'm tired of reading pages and pages of posts about how the Nexus 4 is not suppose to have LTE and to be happy with the hspda etc.
Thanks
I am also interested in this any advice would be appreciated

If you happen to lose the ability to make or receive calls on your Nexus 4 on the .33 baseband then you must flash the latest .48 baseband to make calls.
I am going to flash a 4.1.2 ROM when I get home I had a nexus 4 when they first came out running lte went to a note 2 and now back again to nexus 4;I am running the latest paranoid android 3.1 and faux kernel but the internet is painfully slow without lte I really can't take it any more will try 4.1.2 then 4.2.2 with the different radios
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
I am almost positive that there is no backwards compatibility with Android. Meaning, that since the Nexus 4 debuted with 4.2, you couldn't run a 4.1.2 ROM, and that's why they don't exist (to my knowledge).
to anyone interested i flashed a .33 radio from paranoidandroid 3.1 / latest faux kernel and i now have lte back - now everything is good !!

golfinggino,
Could you be a little more clear/descriptive? What ROM/kernel are you running now? Are you still running 4.2.2 stock or something else? Did you follow instructions that you found somewhere?
Thanks in advance,
JT

tested it today and the call quality seems to be better on the .33 radio then the latest one ? could just be me ? anyway ran on lte all day was connected to wifi for bit and still managed 5 hours screen on time - just picked up a nexus 10 today and in the process of loading up carbon rom on it - that should really fly !
hey again guys thanks for all the responses and sorry about the late response.

I think im going to try the Carbon rom too. Did you have to flash the older radio with it or no? sorry im new to flashing roms and radios and such.
Thanks again guys will post again with my results (hopefully wont mess up my phone in the process XD)
yes i flashed the older radio - the one i used was cwm-radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.1.1700.33.zip
i was running paranoidandroid 3.1 but think the carbonrom is smoother
Only problem is that at least on cyanogenmod using any radio other than version 48 causes auto focus in the camera to not work.

What the heck....that is so irrelevant. There is absolutely no relation between the camera application and the baseband. It has to be a CM 10.1 rom issue.

Test it for yourself. Many have had problems with autofocus on .33 radio. Updating baseband fixes that issue. And if updating the baseband fixes it, by definition it's not a cm issue.

[Q] Franco Kernel Android 4.3

Will Current Franco Kernel (163) work with android 4.3? is it based on the 4.2.2? has anyone tried?
No it will most likely not work. I would not try any custom kernels on 4.3.X roms
Never know my old phone ran cm9 with a 2.3.67 kernel but the camera had some problems. That eventually got fixed. You could try.

Its a new branch of Jelly Bean using a older branch of Jelly Bean.... it won't work. No point in risking your device to a unbootable state.

Lol 4.3 isn't even released yet and we don't know if there is going to be a lot of kernel changes. Even if there are a lot changes I am sure a fix will be released very quick.

4.2.2 kernels arent booting on the 4.3 leak. there could be many changes, but most likely its because of driver changes. when kernel source gets released, we will know
No. If we had the source it would, usually some ramdisk mods need to be made

I was kinda unsure because he said KOT49H AND AOSP, which isn't really um possible xD
But I suggested rastakat because it is aosp and it has no gapps, but if you really want to, you could probably download the KOT49H Stock ROM from the android development section and then unpack it, remove gapps and all its libraries, and then cook the ROM with Android Kitchen.

Yeah, need rephrasing. I think he meant just a stock 4.4.2 without gapps. No need to concern with kot49h cause that is the build number for stock 4.4.2 and stock 4.4.2 is indeed aosp.

Just update ! It's all.
Guys,
Am on the latest version of PA rom on my Nexus 5, i.e pa_hammerhead-4.4-BETA1-20140603.
I want to now upgrade to the latest RC1, i.e pa_hammerhead-4.4-RC1-20140611.
How exactly do I do that? Just flash in recovery and move from PA 4.4.2 to PA 4.4.3? Or do i need to first update device 4.4.3 and then PA 4.4.3?
Or is a clean wipe and install enough?
Specifically, how do we update the the radio and boot loader before flashing the ROM. Are the updated 4.4,3 radios already included? Meaning I can just download the ROM via the PA OTA and flash? I am also on 4.4.2 last Beta mentioned above.

So if I have the latest 4.4.2 PA ROM, I can just skip flashing the radios and bootloader and directly update to the 4.4.3 PA ROM?

You need a 4.4.3 kernel.
Before reporting bugs you should always try the rom as it ships. You should not report things when you have modified them with kernels or mods, xposed, etc
