And I believe you have to have a kernel that supports custom boot animations.

ROM With Best Battery Life

Hello,
I recently got the Nexus 4 and I love it except for the battery life.
I was wondering if there were any roms that would retain the stock feel (no other features added) and have great battery life?
I have also not rooted my phone and installed recovery so if someone could guide me, then that would be appreciated.
Thanks!
MiNCO v6 ROM is what you want.

ROM has little or nothing to do with battery life. You can keep the stock ROM and just use a custom kernel like Franco or faux.

[Q] Upgrading from 4.2 to 4.4

My Google powers are wearing out, so I figure I will ask directly.
I am currently rooted, running the stock ROM on my L720. The android version is 4.2.2 and the build is JDQ39.L720VPUAMDL. I want to upgrade to 4.4, but I want to either keep it rooted or be able to reroot the phone.
Currently I can turn on my Hotspot with no additional app. I want to be able to continue using my phone as a HS. This is essential. A functionality my phone doesn't have is the ability to move apps to SD.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. (And I'm sure this question is asked a thousand times a day, but google and search are failing me ) Thank you so much!
Odin NAE tar, root, flash hotspot mod. Done.

Also this will give you Knox. If you don't want Knox there is a thread to keep your older bootlaoder

Is this like Sprint's android version of herpes?
I admit that I am a bit confused. Do I need to unroot my phone before I do this? I hate asking for help, but I really don't want to screw up my hotspot

Hahah it can be compared to that , although I swear I wouldn't know.
To understand Knox, Google it and read up on it. Its just a Samsung warranty /security thing. Most of us don't care having it or tripping the Knox flag.

You don't need to unroot to Odin a tar file.

[Q] Help updating to 4.4

I am currently running 4.3 root SPH-L720, when I try to install the OTA update it says it fails but can work and lose root.
I want to know if go with the update it will unroot, and/or wipe phone or brick.
You have to be on a stock recovery even then it might fail if you have custom apps or mods. Best thing is to Odin NAE tar and re root.

Completely agree with Daniel, he has given excellent advice!

Just Rooted 5.0/Jasmine, now I wanna go back.

The Jasmine mod makes it so I cannot play the only game I use this phone for. How do I go about removing the Jasmine mod completely so I can return to my game? I'm downloading the OB6 stock firmware and I plan on flashing that with Odin in a minute. Will that do the trick?
Yes. But need to update to 0F1

Where is TWERP for g900vvru2dpf4?

Heya, I've been trying to root my Galaxy S5 (Verizon Marshmallow 6.0.1 g900vvru2dpf4) and the instructions I'm following say that I need TWRP (or a similar custom recovery) but, I can't find the link to TWRP for g900vvru2dpf4. If anyone can link me to it or a similar custom recovery for Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon Marshmallow 6.0.1 that would help a lot.
Do you have root?
