I have a nexus 4 running android 4.2.2 cm10.1
I want to update but i have a few questions
What is the difference between JSS and JWR?
My build shows that i am JDQ39E so am I 2 updates back?
Do I just flash a 4.3 rom or are their any steps I should take first?
I want my final setup to be the 4.3 version paranoid android and franco kernel.
If you want OTA updates, you will only get JWR. JSS is source only.
If you want your final step to be 4.3 PA, stick with CM for now and wait till PA releases a STABLE 4.3.
If you didn't know, google changed quite a lot of things for 4.3 and now root is very iffy.

If I don't like the stock 4.2.2 and want to go back to a 4.2.1 based custom ROM is it cool to just wipe and install them (per usual)? One would imagine it'd be fine since I'll be wiping everything but want to make sure. I'm not sure if there's some kind of firmware component of 4.2.2 that'll render my Nexus 7 incompatible with the 4.2.1 custom ROMs out there.
If it's not okay is it possible to downgrade back down to 4.2.1 from a factory image and then install these custom ROM's?
Thanks ahead of time.
So I've been on stock mf9 rooted for awhile now and I was thinking about flashing to Sascs ROM. However there is both a 4.2 version and a 4.3 version. My question, basically, is if there are any cons to using the 4.3 rom over the 4.2 one, since 4.3 is newer. Like, is it stable enough to use as a daily driver yet, and are there any features not yet implemented that are in the 4.2 that might be worth sicking with 4.2 for awhile over? And how much "better" (in terms of new features/speed/battery/etc) 4.3 ROM in general?
Hope that was succint enough. Thanks!
I updated from Sacs 4.2 to his.3 rom and IMHO as far as features go, there isn't any noticeable difference. If anything you have more freedom to mod with 4.2 considering 3minit is built in and is not yet compatible with his 4.3 rom. Both roms are rock solid though so can't go wrong either way. Hope this helps!
I prefer his 4.3 ROM because it is the newer software, but his 4.2 ROM is more stable. My phone sometime freezes on the 4.3 ROM
In order to get the last few betas to work I had to also flash a baseband file and a rpm_tz file. Will I need to do anything special to the latest cm11 nightlies to work too or will other roms be compatible?
Unless you're running with Verizon, there are no 4.4 source built cm roms
So flash a jellybean baseband before you flash the Rom and gapps, or it will not have rotation, might have goofy sensors, or it might not even boot at all.

I have a Nexus 7 2012 Wifi running OmniRom 4.4.2 with the F2FS Lego Kernel which really improved the performance of my tablet that started slowing down after about a year of use.
My question is will the new version of Android (Android L) be compatible with F2FS? Maybe we wont need F2FS anymore since ART will be the default? Just asking to know if I should revert back to a stock kernel and wait for the Android L release.
Thanks!
What the best and faster official android version for this device? 4.3 or 4.4.4?

I would personally stick CM13 or any other AOSP/AOKP ROM (DU is good) and de journalise the file system and set Trimmer to daily. Check the CM13 thread for instructions. Those settings never failed and I've been running them for 2.5 months and before slowdown occured after a few days, even with official firmware (5.1.1)

Use XenonHD with F2FS /data and /cache, It is extremely fast!
