If you are going to flash custom ROM; use a toolkit to Root it; flash custom recovery of your choice. Then copy custom ROM to ur phone; go to recovery and flash it. You don't need to downgrade your boot loader.

Does this mean we can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 custom ROM?
I'm not having a good time with 4.3 stock rooted and custom kernel and thinking about going back to CM 10.1.2. All I need to do is flashing the custom ROM in recovery?

Yes you will be fine. Before PA 4.3 rom was released, I was using Latest 4.3 bootloader with 4.2.2. I am going to revert to 4.2 as well. I noticed 4.3 battery is really good but sometime touchscreen doesnt response / volume buttons doesnt work.

for unresponsive screen go to 'developer options', 'hardware accelerated options', 'disable HW overlays' and select 'always use gpu for screen compositing'. Works for me but setting doesn't seem to stick on reboots.

^^ oh okay thanks but I am already back to the good old 4.2.2 .

Hi I´m quite new to this and did recently flash my second custom rom. I went from CM10.1 (4.2.2) back to stock image, and flashed
[AOSP]Official 4.3- S4 Google Edition- Finaly v2.0 - Feel the Experience of Nexus. The phone is running hot and I´m kind of dissapointed with the
lack of tweaks in Google Edition. So I´d like to go back to CM
So if I understand you right I can from 4.3 flash my stock image (from TWRP) which was on 4.2.2? Without worrying.

Did you make a nandroid backup when you were stock? That should be the easiest way to get back to stock. If you didn't then you will need to use odin to flash back to stock.

[Q] Custom Rom to stock 4.3?

The situation is fairly complex right now;
Earlier today;
I had my Nexus 7 (2012) running Paranoid Android 3.something with 4.2.2 as the base rom.
My objective was:
To update to Paranoid Android 3.the latest version (which uses 4.3 as the base rom)
What I did:
I downloaded both the latest rom + gapps from the proper xda site for Nexus 7 and tried flashing them from TWRP.
It installs the rom just fine, but gives me an error on the Gapps (Error 7, if that helps).
I'm guessing this is because I'm not on 4.3 but on 4.2.2. Can someone confirm this please?
What I have done now:
So I thought I should flash a stock 4.3 rom and then try installing the new PA rom. But The flashing method for the stock rom is completely different than a custom rom, it seems.
What I think I should do:
So, should I somehow install the stock 4.3 rom and THEN try to flash the new PA rom?
If not that, then what can I do to get to the latest Paranoid Android?
Thank you!

It is totally unnecessary to upgrade to stock 4.3 prior to PA 3.9x.
Firstly, which GAPPS package did you attempt to install? The packages for 4.2.2 and 4.3 are not interchangeable.

The 4.3 gapps gives me an error and says incompatible rom, the 4.2.2 gapps installs just fine, but the my tablet is stuck at the PA boot logo.
If I'm on 4.3 stock, shouldn't it install 4.3 gapps and 4.2.2? :S
And if 4.2.2 is the right one for me, then what to do if I'm stuck at the boot?

Are you using pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130808-signed.zip? There should be no issues using it with PA 3.9x. If you're having problems installing 3.9x with that package, you may have a corrupted download.

All good now, I fixed it.
The issue was that the Paranoid Android rom link is of the 3.5x version, which is essentially a 4.2.2 rom. And that was the latest rom the PA poster had. I realized it's not 3.91, which was the one I needed. So I went fetching for it on google and finally found it, then ran the 4.3 gapps and **** was all good.
Thanks for your help though, I truly appreciate it!

[Q] [Question]I337M S4 Running Parandroid? Stable?

Hi xda members!
i am a noOb when it comes to anything android. Just switched from iOS. I did however manage to softbrick my s4 when attempting to flash the latest pacman rom for jfltecan. Nevertheless in the end I managed to restore to stock TW via Kies and factory reset. Guess what i'm asking is that is there a stable (daily driver stable) version of parandroid for Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M on Fido(rogers) in canada? I'm really looking forward to using the Halo))) function on the rom, i just love pie control. I was running CM 10.1 and it's a fantastic rom, but i'm looking for more features and no bloat ware. Thanks!
Another Question: Can i run i9505 roms on my i337m phone? from what i've read, it's definitely possible, after all the i337/m are the same as the i9505. :laugh:

Both pacman and paranoids nightlies right now are 4.3. A few people are having boot issues on the 4.3 for pacman and had to switch from TWRP to another recovery to get the nightlies working

What's wrong with TWRT? Should I switch to CWM? Can someone confirm that parandriod is working on i337m?

Okey so I can confirm that PA 3.96 jfltecan is working 95% of the time. So far so good... I did have to pull out the battery and hard restart a couple of times. I got stuck on blank welcome freaked me out. But just give it give minutes. I'm running CWM latest recovery. Tried TRW? (Sry forgot the spelling) got stuck on bootloop. BTW pacman and PA 4.3 didn't work for i337m as of today.

I would just try to install 4.3 or even 4.2 (don't know what is miui built from) bootlader and radio. You can find the old ones in general section.

Personally I would recommend any android 4.4.4 rom. Stock or custom is your choice.
All android versions after 5.0 doesn't performe good over longer times on the grouper.
I am using purity rom.
I have red that the unofficial slim rom 9.0 was just updated with patched stagefright.

Never heard that you can't downgrade. I was on 5.1.1 and I am now on 4.4.4.
I used wugs nexus root kit or how it is called and went back to 4.4.4.
I hadn't any problems.

You can give it a try. Just have all drivers installed and running and all should be fine.
Are you currently on stock?
If not and you are running a custom rom you can install a custom 4.4.4 rom via custom recovery.

yeah i have always used this device on Stock Rom
just flashed 4.4.4 using wugfresh and now device has become so quick like the way i bought Thanks for the help anything you would like to tell

What's the verdict on new marshmallow roms? Any good or still too new to tell?

AOSP 6.0 is running much better than 5.1.x on grouper, but there are still some minor issues you need to accept
- autorotate stops working after deep sleep
- sound some times stops (can be fixed be inserting a headset for a short time)
- sometimes a bit laggy, but much much better than 5.1.1

nexus 7 2012 will be update to 6.0 by google?
I think best version is 4.4.4, bu, i have some issues on USB dac, because i use on my car. Original lolipop + root + kernel oxydorevamp works fine (most time).

@rgp95: I was referring to the AOSP version provided by Dmitri Grinberg which can be flashed on your own risk.
