Nexus 4 factory image - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I am not wanting to restore my device atm, but I wanted to extract the image etc in case I need it in the future.
But for the recovery.img and system.img it says it was last editted 31-12-2008. How is that possible and can I flash it however it says 31-12-2008?
And for the rest, is everything right for flashing the image to my device?

The date is incorrect and is in the files metadata so it will still work.

hmm I clicked on it and it said the file is damaged. Should I download the whole factory again?

It is going to say that it is damaged or something because it uses some type of encryption to protect the file itself.
How big is the file?

Oh yeah right! The whole factory image is 355 MB.

Then the image is fine, it is all safe to flash.
If the download was corrupted then the zip file itself with all that would be corrupted and you will not be able to open or/and extract it

Ok, but how would you explain the date?
And I did everything right in the screen? I can just flash the six .img files?

This issue occurs to files for some random reason, the metadata date info is created by the computer by using the computer date and time so that could be why.
Yes you can flash all those files just fine.

[Q] WPA supplicant.conf

Previously when using gb, I am able to view the AP list from this file. However, now I can't with jb, anybody can advice? It was supposed to be at /data /misc/wpa_supplicant. Thanks.
Sent from Mako
ehrh i think all wifi related stuff is at
/data/etc/wifi
or /system/etc/wifi
one of those. Can't really remember..
I've looked in those locations. In fact I have searched wifi_supplicant but couldn't find it. Could it be that the name changed in jb?
Sent from Mako
Hi,
In /system/bin there is a file "wpa_supplicant". Are you sure it's "wifi_supplicant" the file you're looking for?
I have not "wifi_supplicant"...
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant
(/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf)
/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Since GB some system files have changed their names... Obviously...
Basically I'm looking for the list of ap stored on my phone...

Strange... How come mine is empty? Even though different ROM, file structure should be the same... Help? I've searched for WPA supplicant and found 2 files but there were no ap list in those files.... Another dead end...

do they have a version of "halo"? disable it if they do, then try again. it might be something with miui, are other miui users having the same issue?
I try the link in the first post and I can confirm it works. Using miui v5 .31

I figured it was the one version if Miui that was causing it. Something to do with the gapps that was posted with it caused a few apps to not show up

Change S-View Cover Background?

Is there any app or root tweak that will let me change the background for S-View Cover?
I'm sure there are images I can swap out in a root folder, but I have no idea which one. . . .
+1 for this feature.
Should be under settings... changes the color not background though.

Yeah, I saw that. But I'm looking specifically for a tweak or image location that will allow me to put anything I want in it. Like a family photo, custom photo, etc.
I had the G2 for a few days and was able to do that with built in settings, but this one is different.

ditto.
hello !
yes you can !
Extract the framework-res.apk of your custom rom, open with winrar v5, change or replace with your mainbg_pattern_mainarea.png on directory : res/drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi .
On note 3, copy on your sdcard, and with root explorer replace this on system/Framework (reboot is automatic when you change the .apk) enjoy!
Background
Think I'm on to something!
I think I might have found a way. I deodexed a couple of files and decompiled them. Found some code that sets the Alpha to 10% on the background image of the s_view Cover. Going to try setting alpha to transparent. Once I figure out how re odex them I'll try it out and post my results. Probably gonna have a snow day tomorrow so I'll be working on it!

Have you used lucky patcher? If yes, then find the odex file of the corresponding apk and delete it. If u havent used lucky patcher, IDK other methods except to wipe data.

Yes and no, respectively. And if you were unencrypted, it will force encypt it.
But the latest SuperSU beta is already up, it's systemless, and it disables force encrypt, and removes verity.
Do existing root methods work on the official build?

I'm on Latest PureNexus Rom don't know if it's unencrypted or not. will that make any difference?
I got the OTA but damn..858.6mb. much larger than I was expecting. I guess there is more in our OTA than the ones the 6p got.

Look under Security in Settings, if it says under Encryption "Encrypt phone" then it's unencrypted.
And I certainly will not answer your second question, it would start another long fight.

Not sure if it's just me, but my N6 has been on "Activating...." for about 10 minutes. Nothing happening...
Will post an update.
EDIT: Took about 15 minutes for Fi to Activate. But all appears to be well now...
