Hi,
I'm currently running pa_g2-4.0-ALPHA-20131203-d802 on my LG G2 d802, but would like to update it to the current version pa_g2-4.0-ALPHA-20131205-d802.
How do I do this without losing everything on my phone? Do I just install normally with TWRP?

And where would that be if I may ask?
Do a nandroid, then flash the update. If something f's up, clean flash it. Anymore questions, post back

Hi,
I have a nexus 4 running PA 3.99 with it's stock kernel
And I want to delete ALL of it's data, I unlocked my device with WugFresh toolkit and it deleted everything, this is exactly what I want to do.
So I want to know if I can do it again but stay with Root, Stock rom and an unlocked Bootloader.
I want to use WugFresh's toolkit if it's plausible.
Thank you guys in advance!
Reflash the stock rom and root again!
I think there's even an option for that in the tool
But I would advise you not to use a toolkit. Of course it's easy to use etc but you won't learn anything and for example, you don't know how to use fastboot to flash the stock rom. But your choice

There's an option to Flash stock+unroot, do I need to lock my bootloader?
Thank you

So... Thanks
If I'll create a nandroid backup after flashing stock ROM and Unroot, and root again, after I'll restore it it'll be like I flashed stock and kept the root, right?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. If you create a nandroid while you are stock unrooted, then you decide to root, flash custom roms, etc, when you restore that nandroid it while return the phone to the state it was in at the time of the backup. So when you restore it root, custom ROM, etc will be removed and you will be left with stock unrooted. Is that what you were asking?

I'm not 100% sure but I think fastboot will delete everything and even format /sdcard. So you should better copy all files on /sdcard to your PC, just to be sure

Well I'm not really sure what the toolkit will do, but if it does flash all of the factory images (including user data) your backup will get wiped. It's safer to copy it onto a pc before doing anything, then after you are done you can copy it bak onto the phone.

Do you think this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dium=organic&utm_term=nexus+4+display+control) will work with PA's stock kernel?

I don't know the app but according to the description it will work with all roms/kernels, you just have to be rooted
Only the GAMMA interface will not work. You have to be on Franco kernel to use it

So I'll have to install Franco.kernel if I want to use GAMMA CONTROLS /:?
Does the latest version (r178 I think) work well?
I'm currently running CM11 (02-07) with ART enabled. I'm thinking of upgrading to the current nightly, but I'm not sure if I need any special steps with ART.
I will be flashing the ROM manually because I need to modify the device number, so I'll probably be doing a reset before, which will of course reset back to Dalvik and remove all my apps.
Now my quesion is, can I backup my apps and user data while in ART with Titanium, and then restore them in Dalvik? I'm thinking of keeping Dalvik so I can flash stock remote and camera.
Thanks,
Vic
Did a Titanium backup, clean install and everything is ok. ART is good, but I'm happy to be able install the remote and camera, and maybe try xposed framework.

I noticed you are using a furnace kernel,Did you flash CM11 with stock lg kernel? If so what version of twrp did you use. I don't understand the problem because I have the dame model as you.

Again, post back at that other thread with the details of what you did and what error you are getting. The more detail you can give the more we can help.
In a nutshell, the recovery that you install will dictate what ROM will work on your device. For some of the ROMs in that thread you will need to install a kernel, but that depends. And I'm not sure what error you are getting.

Hello guys!
My Nexus 4 is running PA 5 Alpha 2, rooted and custom kernel of course.
I got the .zip file of the 5.1 OTA.
How should I flash it?
How did you flash PA in the first place? Just follow the same steps. You should flash it with a custom recovery e.g. TWRP.

You can't flash the ota in a custom recovery. You have to sideload it in the stock recovery. You have to be 100% stock system, kernel and recovery.

Hi all, I'm not too used to the process, and would like to install CM13. Just a few questions:
1. For those who have it, how is the battery and performance? Any major bugs?
2. Do I need to root the device first before flashing?
3. Do I use LG Flash Tool on Windows for flashing the software?
4. Where do i get the Google apps package?
5. Any other important things to know?

I have a question for the forum, I have PureNexus and GApps, when there is an update available is there an easy way of upgrading without having to wipe everything and start again?
Also (unrelated) what are DRM blobs?
Thanks.

Generally, if you update a rom from one version to next, then wipe is not required (read update/release notes, they may instruct otherwise).
Moveing between different roms, wipe is strongly recommended. Otherwise this increases chances for bugs and possible driver issues not present in the rom otherwise.
