I am considering on flashing the 10.2 CM nightly on my S4, but I'm currently running stock TW 4.2.2 (4.3 isn't out for my S4 yet), would it be ok to flash a 4.3 based ROM (10.2 CM nightly) over a 4.2.2 stock? Would I need to flash anything additional (other than gapps)? : /

Never, I repeat never update a different ver ie 4.2 to 4.3 base, much has changed.
Good luck...

Dang..:/ so if I wanted to use CM 10.2 I would have to wait until the 4.3 update rolls out for my phone?

What he means is that you cannot dirty flash to a different version of android. A full wipe is required when transitioning.

Edit: Title should read "flashing 4.2.2 ROM over 4.2.1"
I have not gotten the ota update for 4.2.2 and flashed the latest nightly cm 10.1. My settings now say I am on 4.2.2. Is there any problem with flashing a ROM built for 4.2.2 on 4.2.1?

The only issue is you won't get the new bootloader and radio. You'll have to do that separately.
The situation is fairly complex right now;
Earlier today;
I had my Nexus 7 (2012) running Paranoid Android 3.something with 4.2.2 as the base rom.
My objective was:
To update to Paranoid Android 3.the latest version (which uses 4.3 as the base rom)
What I did:
I downloaded both the latest rom + gapps from the proper xda site for Nexus 7 and tried flashing them from TWRP.
It installs the rom just fine, but gives me an error on the Gapps (Error 7, if that helps).
I'm guessing this is because I'm not on 4.3 but on 4.2.2. Can someone confirm this please?
What I have done now:
So I thought I should flash a stock 4.3 rom and then try installing the new PA rom. But The flashing method for the stock rom is completely different than a custom rom, it seems.
What I think I should do:
So, should I somehow install the stock 4.3 rom and THEN try to flash the new PA rom?
If not that, then what can I do to get to the latest Paranoid Android?
Thank you!
It is totally unnecessary to upgrade to stock 4.3 prior to PA 3.9x.
Firstly, which GAPPS package did you attempt to install? The packages for 4.2.2 and 4.3 are not interchangeable.

The 4.3 gapps gives me an error and says incompatible rom, the 4.2.2 gapps installs just fine, but the my tablet is stuck at the PA boot logo.
If I'm on 4.3 stock, shouldn't it install 4.3 gapps and 4.2.2? :S
And if 4.2.2 is the right one for me, then what to do if I'm stuck at the boot?

Are you using pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130808-signed.zip? There should be no issues using it with PA 3.9x. If you're having problems installing 3.9x with that package, you may have a corrupted download.

All good now, I fixed it.
The issue was that the Paranoid Android rom link is of the 3.5x version, which is essentially a 4.2.2 rom. And that was the latest rom the PA poster had. I realized it's not 3.91, which was the one I needed. So I went fetching for it on google and finally found it, then ran the 4.3 gapps and **** was all good.
Thanks for your help though, I truly appreciate it!
my nexus 4 is running AOKP milestone 2 right now and it has the random shut off problem. some suggests changing the kernel.
question: AOKP is 4.2.2 now, can i run it with the 4.3 kernels posted in development forum, such as 4.3 AK kernel, or does the kernel has to be 4.2.2 ? If 4.3 is ok, I should flash the JSS version of kernel right?
thanks in advance!

Has to be 4.2.2 kernel. 4.3 kernels are not compatible, and on top of that, 4.3 kernels need to match the rom, either the open JSS15J or nexus 4 official JWR66 builds.
Try 1.4.1 (last build before switching to 4.3)from http://www.semaphore.gr, it has its own app for controlling the kernel.
You could also attempt the 4.3 AOKP beta build:

Hello all...
My boyfriend has the S4 for AT&T and loves the setup I have on my S3 with CM11 nightlies. Just curious as to how stable they are for the S4. I'm the Android nerd in the relationship and I don't want him to have any issues, since we don't live together.. yet
Or should I put another KK rom I saw over in the development section? Is CM10/JB more stable? How's the battery drain? I want to improve his phone, not give him problems LOL. He's completely stock right now.
I already know how to root and all that, I don't need instructions just advice for the best AOSP ROM/Kernel out there for this device.
Thanks in advance!
Depends on which firmware your boyfriend's phone has. Unless he is on the older firmware 4.2 MDL, there is no way to flash any AOSP rom, custom kernel, or even custom recoveries except Safestrap recovery.
With safestrap recovery, you can only flash certain touchwiz roms.
I'll have to check it out when I see him in a cpl days

Personally...I prefer custom tw roms on this phone..tw is actually better looking and more polished...and alot more features...check out Graviton 1.7
AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIV
Graviton Rom 1.7

I spent a few days messing around with a CM11 1/10 nightly, 1/12 nightly, and the M2 snapshot.
I was really quite impressed with just how smooth everything looked and felt.
Definitely a step up from CM 10.2 and 4.3-based Carbon builds.
I had best results with the 1/12 nightly and the M2 snapshot.
I was experiencing odd reboots and glitches with the 1/10 nightly.
Mine is a pre-MF3 phone, obviously.
rule of thumb with nightlies is that they are not always an indication of an official release. You could get a bad nightly but the nightly before was fine. So far they are fine and nightlies are generally for flash-oholics
Yep. If you're deadset on a relatively hands-free CM11, I think the M2 snapshot is probably the best bet.

OK so I took a screenshot of his system info and sent it to myself LOL
Baseband I337UCUAMDL
Kernel 3.4.0-453947 [email protected] #1
Build Number JDQ39.I337UCUAMDL
Is this the firmware you were referring to? I asked him if he did any system updates and he said he has not.

Yes, that's the right firmware. You can go ahead and use CASUAL, and then flash whatever you like for him.
Hey guys i want to know if touchwiz will be update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 or any custom rom becouse i have 4.4.3 pac rom but i want to install touchwiz for the camera but i cant do downgrade and there is not any custom rom 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 touchwiz. D:
What are you talking about that you can't downgrade? You can't downgrade official roms to a lower version.
You can flash any custom rom you want. 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.1, 4.4.2 etc.
