Nexus 4+Chainfire 3D OR ICS ?

Hi!
If I remember right, there was a problem with Chainfire 3D under Jelly Bean OS that resulted in soft bricking the phone. Has this issue been fixed yet? If not, is it possible to install ICS 4.0.4 somehow on Nexus 4 (Chainfire 3D works with ICS) ?

Yes, you can also install a full copy of Mac OSX 10.9 and dual boot it with windows 8 ultimate

Not to be snarky, but you can. It's called a hackintosh.
To answer the OP's question, seeing as how the app hasn't been updated in a while, I wouldn't risk it. Also, the nexus 4 will never see ICS. It just won't work. It's like trying to forward-port iOS 3.1.3 to the iPhone 5. The OS was never meant to run on that hardware, and the drivers are not compatible.

Looks like we have to wait when chainfire3d will be updated to work with JB.

Chainfire 3d?
Haven't been updated since 3 oct 2011.
So don't wait for it, he has stopped this project.
Sorry for my bad English.

4.3 sources?

Anyone have any idea when the source for 4.3 will drop? Can't wait to have some Roms based on it

Source is already dropped, only the wait for new custom roms remain.

Hopefully since it is a minor update cm will merge it without switching to 10.2 and staying as cm10.1.

They posted on their G+ page that it will be 10.2. Also, it's a pretty large under the hood update and there are lots of merge conflicts.

UBUNTU

Has anyone tried Ubuntu on new nexus 7?
like this
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation

That's for the first gen nexus 7 right? I've actually wanted to try it but don't want to be the first to mess with that until I got a confirmation that it works on 2nd gen tab. Because i would like to run Ubuntu on it to work on my programming on the go without having to carry my laptop.

We'll still just support the old Nexus 7 for now, as we first need to
start the port for the latest device. It should work, but the main
problem is that the device is based on Android 4.3 by default, so it
requires us to make our layer compatible with that as well (at least
the 4.3 based binaries).
Don't have the device, so can't give more details, but don't see why
not (we would at least have the same possibility to distribute
binaries, so we could also produce such a build once the port is
done).
Cheers,

The developer of MultiRom reached his goal on his Indiegogo campaign, so we should be getting it soon.

Nexus 7 flo released

Great news! I'm in the ubuntu mailing list and the first image for the Nexus 7 2013 has been released. It is an alpha with 4.4.2 base. Shouldn't be long before official images are out

That is awesome. I use multiROM and it has an option to install Ubuntu touch. I guess I will wait to see if they update to provide an install for my device.

Where did you find the image? I can't find it.

That's great! I've been itching to try UT out ever since I got my new 2013 for Xmas.
Anybody have any feedback on how it's running, and how well it works with multiRom?
Cheers

Any update on release date for us mortals.
I bought a Nexus 7 2013 a couple weeks past just for Ubuntu Touch.

Does anyone have access to that image?

Which mailing list has the links?

This process worked perfectly for me (follow the "Install from android" section, but definitely read the whole page first):

I was given that URL on IRC during the hangout Mark Shuttleworth and others had this week.
