Same with me. However I was able to get into cwm and flash a Talon kernel and that let me boot. Makes me wonder if a kernel was included in this rom or not cause my cwm was the same Samurai kernel.

ok thanks yall.
im going to update and try and figure out what i did wrong.
sorry for the troubles
might be in the morning ,getting late here

after flashing 9000 bootloaders, i was able to complete the install but it just bootloops at gt-i9000 screen

I have it up and running. I was boot looping but I managed to get to recovery and flash a new kernel. try that.

You should try replaacing the kernel with a novoo XCAL kernel that matches your framework. That will fix the bootlooping problem.

Thanks. I will try....i thought thats what i was using

[Q] Should I change to a custom ROM?

Hi guys
I just have a little question regarding my nexus 4. I seem to be having the battery drain issue. It seems to drain the battery when I use any app or the browser through 3G (Wifi it doesnt drain so bad) also when using 3G i get a warm phone at the back. The heat thing doesnt bother me yet as I live in a very cold country.
I am not in a position to RMA or return the device to the shop as I bought the device in the UK and then returned to Russia.
I read on a previous post that google may update the phones to stop this battery drain issue should I wait for this update or should I try a custom ROM to solve the problem. If a ROM would work can any person give me a hint to which is good one to try first I have a nexus 7 and sometimes I use Paranoid Android. I have been reading the thread in the DEV section about that ROM but I cant seem to find a list of whats working or not.
As for the phone I have no other trouble with it it works great even outside when its -42.

its not the ROM, its the kernel that has a battery drain, more particularly towards on how it works. i wont get too complicated because i dont want to write two paragraphs on why its the stock kernel. basically, all you need to know is that the phone ramps up to 1028 frequency when you touch the screen, so there is a possibility of the phone running at 1028 as the minimum freq. etc etc etc etc (like i said, theres a lot of reasons why)
flash a custom rom of your choice + kernel. i recommend franco for kernel.
and you're right for RMA. RMA is for hardware defects etc, RMAing wont get anyone a better battery. so even if you could RMA, i wouldn't. its fixed by software.

Thanks for that i will give it a try
I hit the thanks button

Can we get to the real question at hand... It's -42 degrees where you live... Holy shhh

when its this cold if you drink beer you get a sore throat and lose your voice, also vodka does work but it actually cools your body down at the same time as giving you a false feeling of warmth which is dangerous.
the irony is they sell ice cream on the street and you eat it and its warm crazy but nice in a strange way.

I'm running rooted stock with Franco Kernel

I recommend the franco Kernel, and modding to CyanogenMod. I have been running these and am loving the performance much better now. I also changed my cpu settings (via setCPU) to lower my CPU frequency to 384-1242. The lower frequency helps save some battery life.

Can somebody confirm that the battery drain issue is due to improper cpu scaling?
Thanks.

There are so many things that can cause battery drain issue... Improper CPU scaling, maybe... one can have battery drain issue by simply not having good signal and your phone constantly searching for better signal and this can happen on stock everything.. This is one example of battery drain issue.. So to pin it to CPU scaling would not be accurate

If you never flashed a custom rom then you're stock son being rooted means simply that, you're rooted.. Stock rooted
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

how is stock rom with franco kernel running? im all stock + root but might flash a kernel if its worth it

If you're going to flash a kernel but still use stock Rom. There is absolutely no reason to do this because when a new ota comes out and you accept the ota. It will not apply because you are using a custom kernel any system tweaks done as well will affect it.
So just flash a custom Rom and do yourself a favor. If you're going to flash, don't halfa** it, go the full way there are roms out there that are very stockish such as rascarlo and modaco but for me I prefer a more feature rich rom. Same speed if not faster, no reason to not have them IMO

Not True.. The reason for failure of an OTA it's not having "stock" recovery.. Custom kernels have nothing to do with it, although you need a custom recovery to flash kernels/Roms... One could be stock rooted w/stock kernel and have custom recovery and the OTA will fail because recovery is not stock

True. But as most people in this thread are new, they wouldn't know this and most likely their ota will fail. Worst case scenario they'll be in a non boot able state and would need to fast boot stock or do a recovery maneuver to fix it. Chances of someone with a modified recovery with both stock as an combination are pretty slim, realistically speaking. On a better note, they can wait for the OTA URL link and manually flash the zip by Google which needs a custom recovery

Non able boot state?? For trying to flash OTA with custom recovery?? I doubt it... It will fail because recovery is not stock.. Then you would just reboot system after the fail and continue with business as usual... In most cases the result is that and you wont get the OTA prompt update anymore after the fail

So then my question is:
Can I still root my phone and receive ota from Google?

For whatever reason, I was able to receive and install the last OTA from Google while rooted and on CWR. Not sure how or why it worked, but it did. I believe several others were able to as well.

I think i bricked my phone flashing Faux kernel

I need help.
Today i tried flashing the faux kernel using CWM and when my phone rebooted got stuck at boot (google screen)
I rebooted in recovery and tried flashing again but the same problem happen.
Now im stuck,
I can't load any file because on the computer i am using the drivers are not installed.
What shall I do?

We can't debug your windows pc... Fast boot drivers can/will install fine. Try another computer and see if the toolkit will get you going.
Edit: all you need to do is read, read the stickies and read tutorials on how to return to stock. The drivers will install without being inside Android

Remove the current n4 drivers with device manager in windows. Then find the proper drivers here on xda in the n4 general section. After that you should be able to use the toolkit to boot to recovery or flash a stock build.

I know why it went into bootloop. To flash other kernals aside frmo Francos...you need to flash stock boot image. Francos kernal has you flash his boot image in order to flash his kernal. I dont know why this is the case on the nexus 4, maybe because he is building blindly without a nexus 4 present with him.
The Gnexus wasnt like this but.....thats why you went into boot loop. I just skimmed his thread and found out your case was due to the above.

Franco uses his own ram disk. Other kernels do not. This is why you need to flash back to stock first.

[Q] Over Clock

Hi,
I want to overclock my tablet(using this steps http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-to/nexus-7-feeling-slow-heres-you-overclock-for-insane-speeds-increased-performance-0145908/) but i want to know 2 things:
(1)Is this will avoid the warranty? if yes then how to disable/remove the over clock after use it and get back the warranty?
(2)Am i will lose all my apps/games? if yes then what is the best backup app that backup apps and locate it to PC and backup the APK/data/save?
Thanks.

1) I believe rooting does void the warranty. But it's easy to revert back to stock if necessary. The easiest method is to use one of the toolkits found in the Nexus 7 Development section.
I also suggest you don't use Motley Kernel as the link you provided shows. That kernel hasn't been updated in quite a while. I suggest M-Kernel or FrancoKernel. Both of which can be found in the Nexus 7 Original Android Development Section.
2) If you have already rooted your tablet, flashing a new kernel will not cause you to lose data. But if you have not rooted the tablet yet, the unlocking process will erase all your data. Best app for backups is Titanium Backup. But make sure you transfer the backup files to your PC because unlocking will erase your sdcard.

You'll need to root to overclock. If you're not familiar with the terms or procedures being used here then I strongly suggest reading up and searching the forums first, otherwise you could do some damage.

He meant rooting, which is a prerequisite. Rooting your tablet has voided the warranty in and of itself. Overclocking is definitely outside of the scope of the warranty as you are stressing the hardware beyond its intended parameters. If you don't know what you're doing, there is the potential of permanently damaging your SoC. There's no hiding that if you choose to fraudulently make a warranty claim.

[Q] How come my phone crashes on AOKP?

I've been using ROM's for 2 months or so. Ive unrooted/re-rooted my phone twice because of recovery being extremely slow. I've started using the KitKat AOKP rom and thats the only rom that seems to crash my phone. Ill be using my phone when *poof*, it crashes my phone. This will happen every 15min when im using my phone. I was told it might me my recovery, but the only way i can root is through Odin or the goo.im app. I cant flash my recovery using commands because my PC just wont do it, it can recognize fastboot commands but it wont do nothing. I really love AOKP roms. Help please! :fingers-crossed:

Used AOKP on this and it crashes before it could even finish setting up, like showing me the home screen.

What exactly do you mean crash? Does it reboot? Freeze and require a battery pull? etc...
And what do you mean by recovery being slow?

The recoveries response is pretty fast now thanks to Philz Touch (thanks btw), i mean ill just be scrolling through my phone, doing anything
practical and it will just freeze and reboot. Ive frozen looking through setting, looking at music, and just going on snapchat, its frozen on the lockscreen as well.

Sounds like a kernel or OC/UV issue. Try playing around with different ones and see what happens.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I was having the same problem on AOKP. I even flashed the 4.3 ROM thinking I would correct the problem there and then move up to 4.4. No luck. I can't remember if I was using Philz at the time though. The main reason for this post is that when I would have the random reboot, the screen would kind of start dimming out. I could see three bars of graphics that would blink out and then the phone would reboot. Sorry for the poor description but wanted to add it in case it meant something beneficial to someone else.
