I'm Right? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i just rooted my Nexus 7 and also, i installed CWM. I want to flash CyanogenMod ROM (cm-10.1.3-RC2-grouper) and i'm wondering what gapps i need? I'm really confused about the file i need.
Also, tell me if i'm right I copy the files on my Nexus7 (ROM and GAPPS). I boot into recovery and flash first the rom than the gapps. Before, i do the wipe to be sure it won't bootloop.
Right?

Any4.2 gapps will do, also afaik them emulated sdcard wont be wiped. Any reason you're not trying 4.3?

The ROM doesn't control the over clock. You need to look into kernels.

What kernel?

Hey everyone... Just got home from buying my nexus 4... rooted a few minutes ago and got pa installed. Some of the kernels I used on my galaxy nexus aren't here which I'm sure will be OK.... Are there any kernels that stand out above the others in any way?
Thanks for the help!

I'm using Franco Milestone M1 kernel. Seems to be a great combo with PA with about 4.5-5 hrs of SOT. But try other kernel for yourself and see which one is best for you.

I have tried every kernel here, and the best one that works for me is the enhanced stock kernel. Can under clock, under volt and is the snappiest one . Battery life is good too, plus touch control also works

Will this be compatible with 0.33 radio and tmobile lte?
It is the enhanced 4.2.2 stock kernel by Faux, you can download it from the first page of his thread.
Yes, it should work fine with .33 radio and LTE.

that has nothing to do with flashing kernels. dont listen to anyone that says they recommend to, theyre clueless. btw, try trinity kernel. and while youre at it, every kernel here is good. find the one that fills your needs and that your device likes best.

Stock kernel for 4.2.2

Hi I have flashed pa contrasty kernel but i found it a bit more dark so i want to flash the stock one again.
Please provide me a link.

Go into Faux thread in development and download the reset kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I would recommend trying out the Halfbreed kernel, colours are so much better than stock. Contrasty was a bit too strong for me as well, but Halfbreed is perfect. Anyway, if you still want to go to the stock kernel then the answer is above.
Here you go

Hi @scream4cheese wanted to know if this is the stock 4.2.2 JDQ39 kernel and if it is flashable through TWRP?
Thanks a lot.

[REQ] MIUI animations/transitions port?

Do you guys think that is possible to port MIUI animations/transitions to stock based ROMs?
Like on this video:

http://db.tt/KGKVP9Py CMW
I extracted the animation xml files from an MIUI Rom and used an existing Script.
They should work on any AOSP based rom. Credit for the script goes to eng.stk.
Edit: Fixed TWRP zip.

Noob 4.3 ROM question

I'm a noob to tables but have done many flashes to my phones. My main question is, I'm rooted and ready to flash a ROM to my Nexus 7 but I'm confused about a few things. I'm running firmware 4.3 so do I need to flash a ROM that's made for 4.3? I'm interested in the Carbon ROM but it doesn't state that it for 4.3.
I'm interested in a stable ROM that has a lot of customizing options. Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance for helping out a Noob!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
ROM = Firmware
Flashing ROM = Flashing different Firmware
If you flash a 4.2.2 ROM over a 4.3 STOCK ROM, then you will have 4.2.2, and nothing about your device will be 4.3
just to verify, you have the old Nexus 7 right?
Yes, old Nexus 7. Thanx! Now I feel comfortable trying some Roms.

There could be partition issues when you have the wrong one.Like there was with the 4.2 update.If you flash a 4.2 rom onto a 4.1 bootloader your whole data will get moved into another /0 folder

The nested 0 folders was a recovery issue, not a bootloader one. Neither CWM nor TWRP could initially deal with the new multi-user directory structure. Koush and Team Win promptly updated their recoveries to resolve it.

I've been very happy with RasBeanJelly. It has a good cross between features, speed, and light-weight. It tends to be quite stable. I ran it for about 7 months, until I decided that l decided I needed more excitement in my life and jumped to a bleeding edge ROM. Depending on how the new ROM does/does-not develop, I may go back.
Before you go changing ROMs, make sure you are ready. Then make sure you are really ready. After a couple of times you may actually be ready. Look around, and you will find some guides. Here's a good place to start: Flashing Guide. The biggest issue I have had is making sure I have a good BACKUP and RESTORE strategy that works.
Good Luck,
-John
Slimbean 4.3 beta 3 is pretty feature-rich and is a beta in name only...it's been rock solid for me. Get it at www.slimroms.net
Thanx for the ROM suggestions! I been running CyanogenMod Ver 10.2 Unofficial and I like it but now I'm ready to try some more Roms. I've got the hang of flashing stuff again so now I feel comfortable trying some new stuff.

[Q] CM 10.2 nightly won't boot after flashing franco r191-JSS

Hello,
I am running CM 10.2 (latest nightly). I flashed the franco kernel r191 for the first time and it bricked the phone. The boot animation won't come up. It gets stuck after the Google logo. I would appreciate if you could help me out. Fortunately, I had a full nandroid backup and was able to recover my phone.
I use the TWRP recovery.
Thanks.
You need to learn what the definition of bricked means.
a bricked phone is worthless and unrecoverable, it makes a great paperweight/door stop. flashing a kernel that wont boot is not bricking a phone, and not close, and there are many ways to recover from a non booting kernel, nandroid restore being one way. you can also just flash a good kernel or your rom to recover.
Thank you for clarifying the definition of brick. I did not know that. Please feel free to chime in regarding my original question. Thank you.

What IS your question? From what I've read, you were able to restore your nandroid, right? Just don't flash that kernel if it messes things up.

try a different franco kernel. are you sure that you pucjed the right kernel? 4.2.2 kernels dont boot on 4.3, and 4.3 kernels dont boot on 4.2.2.

According to the author, I am supposed to flash the one that has a JSS tag in the file name. http://franciscofranco.minooch.com/Nexus4/4.3/zips/
I am sure I downloaded the correct file and flashed the right version. Since I am new here, I am not allowed to post in the original thread, which is here:

I would like to know whether there is a way to flash the franco kernel on CM 10.2. It seems to be buggy. I wanted to post my question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002782
But I need at least 10 posts to ask my question there.

no. custom kernels no longer work on cm properly, if at all.thats probably is the reason why franco kernel wont boot. cm changed their base code from aosp to qualcomm a few weeks ago, and that broke the ability to use custom kernels on cm. custom kernels are based on aosp, and qualcomms code breaks stuff because of it.
Thank you so much! Now I understand why.

Started a couple of days ago. Not sure if the r191 is the cause or the cm 10.2 nightly.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
As said previously CM is the cause, Franco still remains AOSP based, you can try hellscore kernel, Google it, it as a nice reputation for amazing battery life and has a CM version of it.

I don't even like the way that term is used to be honest. To me a soft brick is more or less something that requires a JTAG.
A bootloop or a failed boot just isn't any type of brick at all really as far as I'm concerned.
You really should change the title of the thread. Franco does great work and really does not need to be slandered. After all cm is preventing your device from booting not Franco's kernel. If you want to rant maybe you could change the title to cm bricked my phone
