Android M Preview Port for Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is is possible to Port Android M Preview for Nexus 4?

It is discussed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3120849 but the answer is unfortunately no.

But @sykopompos says he can try building port for nexus 4, link below:

Be calm and wait for the port

Later in the thread he said that currently there was to little source code and to different hardware between nexus 4 and other phones with a preview that he couldn't port it. Or at least that it wasn't worth the effort to do it yet.

Yeah, i am being too excited to see android M preview on nexus 4. I also saw this link for git android m preview for mako:

Unfortunately that misses some of what is needed to port it, so it didn't help

Android M is nice, but for sure oru nexus will need more support if want have M on device. hope some other rooms, like CM will launch M on mako.

Dual boot nexus 4

Soon we will start having cyanogenmod version for nexus 4 and at the beginning it will be unstable so I was wondering if any of you tried to install a dual boot on your nexus 4

Duel booting is very common on samsung phone s1,s2,s3 implemented into the kernel
but i haven't seen it on a nexus before.
Well Bootmanager lite is compatible with the previous nexuses
I have Boot Manager Pro, I will test it once I get my Nexus 4.
anybody try this yet?
Boot Manager Pro doesn't support Jellybean (yet).
so does anything work to dual boot yet?
There's a multiboot loader available for Nexus 7.
Maybe it will be ported to Nexus 4 some day...
is this possible on the nexus 4?

The creator will not do it because he does not have a nexus 4. So we have to do it ourselves, we can use his sources.
So how do we build it? are there instructions?

I wish I knew what I was doing to do something like this, but can anyone actually do this? If it is done for the nexus 7, I would imagine it should be able to be done for the 4?
I will begin trying to port this for the mako device next days, but I will have the Nexus 4 device in a few weeks only, so I would need some testers. Next weekendI'll post more details about my work if it goes well.
Adaptation of multirom
Hello,
I'm new on xda, but I have often used your tutorial to update my galaxy s to the latest version of android.
I am a newbie here but I know read tutorials, install and test firmware.

I'm ready to test your version
Good Bye,

Thanks for giving your help. However I just grab sources from mako kernel and multiboot, didn't begin working on it yet, tomorrow I'll try. First step making kernel having kexec boot method.
Edit : have to dl linux and reinstall my bootloader, a upgrade of my windows made it go away. :s That's ironic, a broken dualboot on my PC prevents me to work on dualboot for the phone. Anyway will begin working on that this evening.
Please do update on this if you get it working. I would like to dual boot Ubuntu and my stock phone OS.

Of course, I'll ask a thread in the dev section when I'l need some testing. I don't promise any result, but think it will be easy to port, just need to spend some time. Will begin tonight.

Sorry to beat the dead horse here, but did you ever actually get around to doing this?

Can't find Android 5.0 "L" Developer Preview image for Nexus 10?

Where is the Android 5.0 "L" Developer Preview image for the Nexus 10? I can't seem to find any mention of it?

That's because you are chasing a ghost. It doesn't exist (at least for now). So far, the only available preview images are for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013). There's some speculation on whether the Nexus 10 will even get the official L version when it comes out. I sure do hope so, but I'm trying not to get said hopes too high.

These are just the binaries. I believe he was referring to the complete preview image, like what's available for the N5 and N7 (2013), found here: http://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html.
So how do I use this for the n10? just install the base n7 build and then flash the blobs you linked?

NO! DO NOT flash images that are meant for other devices onto this device (or any device for that matter). You can easily (read: COMPLETELY) brick your device by flashing a kernel meant for another device. My advice is just be patient for either Google to release it, or for a custom ROM to come along for the N10.

but that's just it, how does one learn to bake roms for a particular device? - isn't it a matter of compiling the rom from aosp with the appropriate blobs?
I mean, here's the official sources from google... why has this not been compiled and added to the development area? https://android.googlesource.com/device/samsung/manta/+/l-preview

I wish Google release it for the Nexus 4 too as a reward to early adopters and compensation for a device with so many flaws
There are no source code for M has been released yet, patience guys, patience...
