Anyone else seeing vertical white lines on the edges of their taken pictures under bad lighting conditions? See here: https://plus.google.com/photos/10334...e-f28ce0793c6f

I am on stock rom/kernel!

Where are zips to be sideloaded stored on the nexus 4 with CWM? I had a kernel zip that I was sideloading but changed my mind about doing so. Now I want to delete the zip. I never actually installed it so it is just stored wherever CWM keeps ones that are being prepared to sideloaded.

wifi tethering on nexus 4

---

Hi,
i'm running stock jelly bean 4.2.1 rooted.
i am having problem using the native tethering built in on the jb.
i tried wifi-tether as well.

both doesn't seem to work. it assigned IP to my device, but no internet connection.

any advice?

thanks.

I know I am a bit late to some of these, but I was busy working on the house over the holidays and spent very little time on the internet.

In the past, I remember seeing an issue like this pop up on the CM forum. Turns out that the carrier was providing the UTC time rather than the local time. By chance, are you in a UTC+1 zone right now?

I have Rasbeanjelly 12.21 build with Matr1x 3.5 on my Nexus 4. I wanted to flash the 12.30 RBJ update and given it's the same ROM did the following:

- Wiped cache/dalvik
- Installed RBJ 12.30 OTA/Matr1x 3.5 (since RBJ OTA would have replaced w/ stock kernel)

When I then rebooted system, a number of my apps and WiFi stopped working - didn't verify everyone, but it looks to be primarily the Google apps. I assume it's because I didn't reinstall RBJ's GAPPS package, but I am not entirely sure and thought not having to do a full data wipe would have preserved my apps/sync/market link.

I decided to restore from my TWRP Nandroid backup to the 12.21 build and recheck my steps. Can anyone confirm what I did wrong? Do I need to reinstall the GAPPS package for RBJ and resync? What about my other (downloaded apps)?

Thanks for your patience and consideration!

I know this was already answered, but I figured I would go a bit more in depth to help you understand what happened. First off, with custom ROMs, it is not always required to flash gapps every time, but it depends on whether or not the ROM maker has designed a backup script to restore the apps back after flashing. I know CM contains this.

But gapps are installed to the /system partition while all your normal apps are installed to the /data partition. The /system partition is changed to read-only after flashing to prevent unauthorized changes to the OS, while the /data partition remains as read/write so you can install apps and store your settings. When you flash a ROM, whether it is the first time flashing or performing an "upgrade", it will completely format the /system partition and then install the ROM fresh. If your ROM has a backup script for the gapps, then it will back them up, and then restore them after the flash. If it doesn't, then you need to flash them back separately. This is why after an upgrade, your apps and data stays the same.

Also, unless your ROM is quite a bit different than most, when you flashed that update, whether via the OTA or in CWM, it would've replaced your kernel with the stock one. It is just part of the flashing procedure. After that, you would need to reflash your kernel zip file.

Just keep in mind you will always hear about the people who have problems with the phone, but the ones that have no problems typically won't come to a technical forum and praise the phone. In short, you'll hear about the people with problems, but won't hear about the people who have no problems (who likely outnumber the people with problems by a very large amount).

Dalvik cache will be rebuilt automatically by Android if needed, and the cache itself is just a bunch of temporary files. It will be pruned occasionally by Android. Normally, there is no need to wipe these.

As for battery stats, it is just a file that keeps track of what apps are using what between battery charges. Android automatically wipes/overwrites the battery stats file when the battery becomes fully charged. Very few users have any need of wiping it.

Try to boot a custom recovery. If that works, you can change the second word to flash and it will reflash your recovery and you will be back on your way to enjoying your phone.

fastboot boot recovery "C:\location\to\recovery.img"

If it is a kernel you selected through ROM Manager, they are buried in the depths of the cwm folder. It will mirror the folder structure of the site it downloaded it from. If it is just one that you selected that you had already downloaded, it will just use that file and won't move or copy it anywhere else.

Thanks much bassmadrigal. Very helpful!

Hi all
I've got a big problem
My Nexus 4 is "dead". I can't copy files on memory form the PC and I can't fastboot.
But I can copy a file from phone to phone

Happened for no apparent reason (spotted it when I was using iSyncr for my music)

Any clue ?


EDIT: I can perfectly read and copy on my DD the files present on the phone
EDIT 2: Works perfectly on another computer (XP SP3)
EDIT 3: Works perfectly on the others USB ports, i'm thinking about warranty... Otherwise, this port works perfectly with regular usb devices...

To segue into a performance question, I am getting ~4 hours of screen time with RBJ 12/30 and Matr1x 3.5. Battery lasts around 1.5 days without turning off of charging. I am using wi-fi only and have turned off location access, mobile data and run display brightness at minimum. Nova launcher in use.

What are other folks with similar configurations seeing? Am I over or under-performing and if so, why?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I was told the tmobile version of the Nexus 4 was gonna be the HSPA 42 and the Google version was only HSPA 21. Which in my network signal info app. it tells me im on HSPA+ 21. But I heard that the google version was the same? What's the correct info?

Thanks
