[Q] Help with ROM - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As you guys may know, I recently downloaded the latest matriz mod by mathkid...do you think I need a ROM installed to use at its full potential? If so, which ROM should I install and do I have to re-install the kernel?

1. U don't have to flash another ROM if you are on stock ROM or another AOSP ROM
2. Feel free to flash any ROM u want all AOSP based Ron's should work with this kernel.
3. If u flash another ROM u have to flash the kernel again because the stock kernel of the ROM will be flashed as well.
BTW. Post this kind of questions into the Q&A forum for the N4.

So I'm on Stock ROM right now. I don't need to redo the installation process and just flash it at will? Didn't know you can flash multiple roms too...
what roms do you guys recommend with the most with matr1x kernel?

matrix is not a rom, it is a kernel. all roms include kernels, or your phone would never work. all you do is flash matrix over what you have now, and itll replace your current kernel with matrix. that is all, do not over think it, do not make it more complicated then it actually is. and no, no one can tell you what rom to run, it is only your personal choice and no one elses. there are roms in the development section, read their threads, then you decide.

I know matrix is a kernel, I'm saying which one would be the most appropriate to go with it. One more question: Whenever there's an android update and I have flashed a Rom and Kernel, do I have to redo the flashing process again? ex. Android 4.4.4

What's the most vanilla ICS rom for Note?

Hello,
How are you?
I am a bit tired of Touchwiz and some lag on the phone, so I would like to switch ROMS.
So, I was wondering what is the most pure vanilla ICS 4.0.4 ROM for the Note, wich is stable and has the fewest know issues?
I am sorry for this thread, but there are so many roms developed that it is really hard to choose.
CHeers and thanks!

Well, Paranoid Android is a fantastic ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note, as it offers a near-ICS experience that allows for both tablet and phone modes. Try it out!

Thank you for the suggestion.
Do I need to flash a modded kernel for that rom?
Or does it work stable and fast with stock GB kernel?
Cheers!

For an ICS ROM you need to use an ICS kernel. But Paranoid comes packaged with the kernel. By the sound of it you are on GB at the moment. If it's already rooted, do a full wipe then flash Paranoid and the GApps package from the same thread.
If you are already on ICS, do not do full wipe until you have read up on how to do it.

Any downsides to this ROM?
I am currently on stock Note, with ICS 4.0.3 and stock kernel. Not rooted.
Would a kernel like Speedmod work better with the nightly rom? Or is a stock GB kernel better?
Whichever rom I choose, I need to use PC Odin to revert to GB before flashing anything, right?
Cheers and thanks!
Why would anyone use cm9 If Paranoid Android is the same with much more features..
You cant use any tw kernels like speedmod. Cm9 need cm9 kernels
can i install Paranoid Android from ICS through Abyss 4.2 kernel ?
i want the safe steps to install ...........

You can install it from ics if you want.
download Abyss Kernel 4.2
copy Kernel and PA Rom and Gapps Files to your internal SDCard
boot into Recovery
Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2
boot back in Recovery (to find under "advanced")
Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache (under "advanced")
Flash PA Rom
Flash GAPPS
reboot system

You can use modded kernels with PA, but only cm based ones like AniDroid/bbq etc.. and not the touchwiz ones like speedmod/franco.
To install, follow what the post above says, or as you mentioned use Odin to go back to gb, root/install cwm, full wipe then install Paranoid Android.

As stated above cm9 only uses cm9 based kernel, you don't have to worry about that, it will install itself when you flash the ROM.

Because not everyone like tablet mod, I've tried PA but returned to cm9 because the phone UI is more suitable for the note .
And then there is the faster update cycle of cm9.

Just my two cents: I found PA to be super buggy in comparison to CM9, the boot splash didn't fit the screen and the UI lagged a lot more, some of the apps were great in tablet mode, but CM9 feels overall far more suited to the Note.

If I install a custom Rom, either PA or CM9, can the note be reverted back to full stock? Recovery, kernel and Rom?
I am on stock is 4.0.3. What's the best procedure to install CM9 nightly?

If you want a true Vanilla experience install the 4.04 Stock Rom, you will find the there are now a lot of people using it, it is stable, fast and the battery life has improved. There is a large difference between 4.03 and 4.04 official ROMS.
I have been using it since it came out and I find that it beats everything else I have tried. On the down side the 4.04 kernel still contains the EMMC Bug so I cannot do a full wipe without reverting back to GB.

I have tried both .. KingDroid 5.1 which is based on 4.0.4 and AOSP like Paranoid Android
And what I felt is that AOSP is way smoother and faster than stock roms

[Q] Can you install a custom kernel and a custom rom on a Nexus 7?

I wanted to get Elite kernel and Paranoid Android rom on my Nexus 7. Is that possible? If so, how could I do that?
First you have to ask yourself why? Do you even know what a ROM and Kernel is? Do you know how to control both? Seeing you are a really new member i would ride the stock train for a while. Maybe learn how to flash a custom recovery and root manually Then you can move on to ROM flashing. Once you get the hang of that move on to choosing a kernel you deem appropriate. Also i wouldnt just flash whatever one else flashes and says is the "best." Thats not always the right way for yourself.
If you have to ask, then you probably shouldn't be treading where there be dragons, to borrow a phrase.
The short and sweet answer to your query is that pairing a 4.1.1 kernel with a 4.1.2 rom is going to result in a boot loop-

There are not 2 sub-forums that talk about nothing but development for the Nexus 7.
There are no how-to guides anywhere.
So no; it is impossible to put a custom rom or kernel on the Nexus 7.

Look in the thread of Elite kernel to see what roms it supports. If it doesn't mention your ROM, [ParanoidAndroid--which btw is a good rom, I use it] you could reply to the thread and ask if it's compatible with the latest paranoidandroid [2.5].
Also worth mentioning the stock kernel is not bad.. especially for android newbies. [I use stock PA kernel--now--but I'm not a n00b though!]

[Q] Stay on Eclair or go to Froyo?

Hi! A friend left me his Defy so I could so I can put it on steroids as it's working really slow. It's still on Android 2.1 (Vodafone Spain) and never touched. I've read all the necessary stuff for beginners and understood everything (I'm not new to rooting and flashing, I've a fully hacked Desi), but I want to know a few things.
First of all, should I stay on 2.1 as base or is it better to upgrade to Froyo, in which case what is the preferred SBF?
As this is for a friend and I'm not gonna have access to his phone everyday I need a really stable rom. Are the latest CM roms stable enough?
And at last, I've read that some of this roms come with the kernel, what does that mean?
Thanks in advance for all the info.
1) You can upgrade to Froyo, or stay as it is(will not really affect performance) although people report Froyo to be a bit smoother
2)CM7 is very stable and fast( you may use maniacs or other builds)
3)I think you are referring to the 2ndboot ROMs which include a custom kernel. Though I personally use them, they may not be stable/fast enough for everyone
I would suggest trying cm7,9,10 and check how it works out for you

Yes, isn't that 2ndboot thing necessary to be able to boot any custom rom? So now if I would like to install a custom rom I should (update to Froyo,) root, install 2nd init and then flash the rom and recover the nandroid for that build?

Yes that's right, but what nandroid do you mean? Usually you don't have to recover nandroid. For CM7,9,10 you should just flash .zip from cwm. For ms2ginger you have to follow the instructions in op (there you have to use a nand backup)
Sent from my Defy green lense using xda-developers app
No, there are ROMs without custom kernel as well. Cm7 and all miui builds are based on stock kernel ( all GB ROMs). JB is available in both, so is ICS, and only a couple of ROMs are nandroid backups, rest are zips. Remember to wipe data as well while flashing builds

If Froyo is officially deployed in your area and carrier go for it

Ok, so now I'm into work. I've already rooted and installed 2init. Nest step is to install a custom rom but I can't decide from this three: Epsylon3's CM9.1 Android 4.0.4, [email protected]'s CM10 Moto Ice Gun Edition or Quarx's CM10 Android 4.1.2. What would you recommend if looking for stability?

Closet to Original Rom?

Hi, I have been looking for a Custom Rom with a Custom Karnel that has a closest look to the original rom. Does any one has any opinions??
tnx
I would recommend the following, because of my experience with them.
1. SaberMod or RasSaber (the first ROM comes with Saber-toothed-Squirrel kernel)
2. Purity (comes with Purified kernel)
You can find those, along with tons of other ROMs to choose from, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34474641
From your post I'm gathering that you don't want to mess around too much with the settings and just have a solid, stable system. The stock "look" is easily obtained by just flashing a new ROM and not touch anything in the custom settings, after all. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Q] Question about Kernels

Hi, just a quick question
Kernels come WITH the Rom? right?
...like if I flash a custom rom...no need to worry about the Kernel?
do I need a specific Kernel for a specific rom to run properly?
I've been flashing roms since ages but still dont know a thing about Kernels
thanks

Yes, kernels come with the ROM. If a ROM doesn't have a kernel, it won't boot (hence the name "kernel").
Usually, the most "proper" kernel for your ROM would be the one that came with it. Although sometimes, flashing a different kernel can improve performance/responsiveness/battery ..etc .... But it can also break things if you don't know what you're doing. It's always a good idea to make a backup before doing something.
Have fun.
