The security updates are a part of the firmware update. Often the firmware updates are security updates. So, yes. If you want the security updates you have to flash the firmware. No other way possible.

Yes. Right. Download the firmware and flash through Odin. You'll lose your data however. So backup important data. Because you don't have root the options to backup will be limited.

[Q] Install Trebuchet on stock GE rom

I'm trying to install trebuchet on stock Google rom however I'm not having much luck..
I'm getting the trebuchet.apk file from the latest official cm 10.2 rom (/system/apps/) but when I install it in GE rom I get "app not installed"
I can't copy it to /system/apps, I just get "cannot move" even though I have root access
I want trebuchet specifically, Nova doesn't do it for me as I can't personalise the notification draw power menu etc.. the only thing that keeps me coming back to Cyanogen is the trebuchet launcher..
Any help would be appreciated

Than you also would need the settings from the CM rom to customize
The best thing is just to switch to a CM rom since theres also android v4.3

I'm aware of this option however having stable bluetooth is essential and CM10.2 doesn't offer that

The update is released in stages. Or flash a ASAP rom and you'll get it sooner.

Unless you use non-official custom Recovery, I guess it's recommended (but not mandatory)
This is not the right place to post this tho
