I recently got a Nexus 4 and rooted and installed Carbon and everything is great.. except I think I'm still using a stock kernel (no clue). I found a few that I liked however they all mention things like "only for JSS15J or JWR66Y" etc... Mine says "JSS15Q"... My question is: what is with the different versions? and does that mean I'm using a Nexus 7 firmware!?!?!
your help is appreciated!

JSS is for Nexus 7 2013 tablets and JWR for phones and 2012 tablets originaly i think.
Ah thanks man. I'm curious now as to why some of the ROMs in the development section use JSS firmware instead.
Here is some insights about 4.3 versions issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44052881&postcount=1
Basically a JSS rom is a rom built from AOSP sources, and a JWR rom is based on the stock 4.3 firmware built for the Nexus 4.
Kernels can not be interchanged, doing that will cause screen tearing, becuase AOSP has some never gpu driver commits for the Nexus 4.
Guys, thank you so much for this enlightenment.. what would we do with out this community.
Long live Android developers!

I got my Nexus 4 yesterday and I've been using an S3 for a month or so running CM 10.1
Should I flash CM 10.1 on my Nexus 4, or will there be a new version that will soon be released pertaining to 4.2.2?
How stable is CM on the Nexus 4? I had a few issues with it on the S3. Will it be as reliable as stock?

The CM ROM for the N4 is stable, I've been using it for a while and haven't had any problems.
I think the latest nightly has the 4.2.2 updates in it already.
Which ROM to use is kind of personal though and depends on what you want, take a look at the ROMs in the threads and you will see quite a few choices, and then there are even a lot of different kernels too so there are plenty of choices.
Rasbean Jelly or Xenon HD. Both are stable as can be.

I personally love SlimBean. Right now I'm using my Slim-Star ROM (PM me for details and download link) which is based off of SlimBean.

In these kind of threads a lot of ROMs always are mentioned. I think you can better take a look around the forum and decide for yourself.

I found the best ROM for me by installing the popular ones for a few days each then picking the one I liked the most.
I'm using PA 3+ (ParanoidAndroid), It's CM 10 based, this rom has Hybrid UI (Table UI, Stock UI, etc) and have a lot of colors improvements and the best feature is the PIE control that is really awesome.
You can check PA 3+ here and you can check the development forum for all the other roms available.
Good Luck! =)
I'll probably just go with CM since its what I'm used to. Don't have time right now to try a bunch of different things.
My phone currently isn't rooted. Can someone link a good guide on how to root and install CM?
No
NEXUS 4...Make em say uhhh..nah nah nah

If you want to do the process yourself here is the guide, if not here is a toolkit.
And here is CM 10.1 with instructions.
Good Luck and Enjoy! =)
Cm10.1 4.2.2 no doubt
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I don't like CM10. I find stock smooth, and I think when RasbeanJelly is updated to 4.2.2 base, you should use that.
I can't seem to find anyone who is working with this so I'm going to attempt to build the new 20.0.0
Any pointers people can throw my way would be appreciated as I have never built a rom before.
I've worked with java and C++ so I think I can pull this off. Gonna start by building and testing CM10.1 first before I attempt PACman.
Sounds good. Update us on how you go.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Well, it won't take a whole lot of work, I thought there was root box for the n7 (kinda like PAC man) but mabey that was the n4.
Just pull PAC man source tree, add grouper kernel and config files and build.

Its been released already.

Please forgive me for bad english and opened topic to here.
Thanks for everything
A custom ROM is basically a modified version of the AOSP version. Custom ROMs are mostly built and developed by enthusiasts. They add new features e.g. customisation or functionality. They also provide bug fixes.
On non-Nexus devices they bring the newest Android version to devices that are not officially supported by the manufacturers. This doesn't play a role foot you, because Nexus devices get the updates immediately after their announcement.
You can install whatever custom ROM you want as long as it is made fit the Nexus 4. You may brick your phone otherwise.
Just look for a guide for rooting and install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.

I've only flashed CM10 and paranoid android, CM10 is just so good i don't really see any reason to flash anything else. It's also pretty much stock as far as ui so not hard to get used to.

Hello, im having a question related to the HLTE SM-N9005 as far as i have heard from a friend there is a unofficial paranoid android build for this device and thats what i have been searching for during the last 4 hours, i he also told me that the pa settings were in some kind of beta stage and that only som of the features wern't working correctly. Have any one seen/heard that there is a pa build for hlte? I really miss the tablet ui would be perfect for this device.
if any one have seen the pa build please share a link in the comments below or tell me how to find it. with love from a huge pa fan.

Hey bro! I have the n900t but use hlte roms as well. I have not found a PA build. I think hlte was originally going to be a legacy device for pa, back in like march or April, but hlte was removed from that legacy list for an unknown reason.
You can, however, use carbon rom which is an aosp ROM with a lot of features. It has many of the pa features, like hover, peek, pie etc. I don't think I've seen a tablet ui setting for it, but I think you should be able to use xposed for that, do you know what that is?

hum, wierd that they removed hlte :s, Yes, I do know what exposed is, and I saw there was some kind of module that were supposed to force tablet ui but since google remover tablet ui from the framework I'm not able to get it, I'm only getting phablet ui which isn't even close to tablet ui hopefully some devs manage to merge the tablet part from earlier versions of android so that all users with at least larger screens could use it xD
Paranoid Android arrived!
Thanks to @encho we now can run Paranoid Android on our Note 3.
It is an alpha version, lacking most if not all PA features. But it is fast and it is Paranoid.

Hi all
I'm currently rooted, using slimkat 4.4.4 on my old trusty nexus 7 2012 wifi edition. I want to update to a new rom, but there are so many to choose from I'm a little confused with features - I wondered which is the bare minimal build like slimroms?
Thanks

Hi Iamsra, yep works fine, although I don't use it much, the kit is probably so old it's almost stable lol
