Does it work on T-Mobile? When I plug it in it says searching for device.

Mint 17 and Nexus 4

Hello,
I'm looking to switch my pc over to the latest Mint release and do away with Windows.
I am no linux guru, so I want to ask. Can I expect major issues trying to connect my Nexus 4 for transferring files and being able to root, change reovery etc via Wugfresh toolkit?
If yes, can someone offer some guidance.

I have no problems with linux mint. mtp works better on it for me than windows 8.1
You have to give up wugfres toolkit if you switch to linux.
Yep, works great. Installed Mint last night, plugged in the Nexus and it picked up straight away.
For those interested, Wugfresh works with WINE. Well it did for me at least.

You can't! You can only install touch wiz based roms using safestrap.

You have to look for a flashable .tar file so that you can install it with Odin.
Here you go for CWM

[Q] Getting a version of xposed framework for Lollipop

I was wondering if there was a way to install xposed on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 running a rooted version of lollipop or is it not possible due to the locked bootloader?
Thanks for any help,

Nothing to do with boot loader. It's a problem with how badly Samsung skewed ART. Xposed works on AOSP/AOKP Roms like cm12. LP 5.0.1 and below, but NO TOUCHWIZ BASED LP ROMS
