So how do these work? I'm on cm10 but don't want to restore backup then wait for ota/or flash the update

Just give it a day. souce also just dropped on AOSP so the custom ROM's should start flowing later today.
i REALLY wish i had the know-how to do this. i would love to build an AOSP ROM myself, but i am pretty dumb outside of using a custom recovery to flash a ROM....lol

Did you install the ROM with twrp2? Also make sure you use the twrp2 for the T879, not the I717. If you use CWM you may have issues...
I used T-Mobile 879 tarp..not 717 or cw...
Will try reflash your ROM later a long..
I will let you know
Thank you for your response... lol.

I was also on paranoid's ROM before. As for Kim's comments I'm not sure as to why he couldnt get it to boot... My recommendation is to backup your current ROM, and give my AOKP a flash. Its easy to go back just recover with twrp2.
LMK what you find.

Sounds like you're s=on.
Here is the boot.img from this AOKP build - use this. It will fix your wifi issues.
liam821.com/aokp/boot.img
You can also find the boot.img inside the ROM zipfile.
So...
Do a factory wipe/wipe cache, flash the aokp rom, then install the boot.img with odlin after all that. It should boot then! LMK if it works out for you.
thanks!
liam
So I was finally able to install this.
I couldn't use the boot.img above with odin. odin would only take .tar files and I couldn't figure out how to convert it.
I kept getting the boot loop. What I ended up doing was. I installed the "ps_quincy' rom from another thread. Then I backed up only the boot file. I went back installed
this rom and restored only the boot file from the other Rom. I'm very new to this so there may be a easier way but its def worth the hassle i'm loving
this rom.
Saved for later

Got it figured out.. Good stuff here!!!
Thanks all! The 4.2 AOSP should be merged into the AOKP git soon so once thats all done I'll do a 4.2 AOKP build and get it posted here asap.
Is this rom working? no more bootloop? Wifi working fine?

[ROM] [RECOVERY] CWM Flashable Stock ROMs / Recovery [JOP40C] (11/21/12)

Stock CWM Packages for Nexus 4​​
I have created some stock ROMs and recoveries that are flashable through Clockworkmod or TWRP. These are taken straight from the Google factory image releases and packaged to be flashed. It can be useful if you want to go back to stock, but you don't have access to a computer at the moment for fastboot. Also, devs feel free to use this as your ROM base. Enjoy
Please note that I don't have my Nexus 4 yet, so please report any issues you may have and I will fix them immediately. Thanks.

Just Google it. I'm sorry, but you are probably not going to get a full answer for all this on XDA, and the more short answers you get the more questions you'll have. Do the research before you root your phone, it will prevent headaches, for you and everyone else.
Thank you so much for the stock recovery and stock ROM, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I am just curious, each time there is an update to the OS via Google, do you also plan on making a flashable zip version of the update as well. For example when 4.2.1 is released? Peace.

I really don't know, because I don't have a nexus 4. But I've read that you can just download the ota and sideload it through cwm.

I just got my nexus! :)

HI guys i just got my nexus and i downloaded the toolkit.
I want to know what is the best rom to flash and a link to how would be appreciated?
I would like one that dosen't interfere with OTA updates as well
Thank you all very much
I would recommend Paranoid Android 3+. Link is in my signature. Even if you dont update it a lot, every build is very stable. Battery life is really good. It uses stock kernel with no overclocking or under clocking. Lots of customization. Check out the video in the official thread.
If you are running 4.2.1, make sure to update your baseband and boot loader when upgrading to 4.2.2.

That's not an official MIUI ROM. Its based on CM with MIUI look. MIUI ROMs aren't available for N4 yet because its running 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. You have to wait until MIUI catches up with N4 firmware. Feel free to install it.
Edit: updated

Congrats on the new nexus, but as born2gethard has alluded to, "best rom" threads aren't allowed. Too many people with too many opinions. Just try them for yourself.

[Q] Confession: I flirted with Sense. Will you take me back CM??

I admit it! I cheated on you CM! There - it's out! Did it for weeks. Flashed and flashed all sorts of Sense custom ROMs and thought 'I'll never go back to CM!'. But, as always, I return to the master - will you forgive me?
However i need to know if you can offer this cos i can't quite tell from the current crop of CM related ROMs over whether this is available or not:
- HTC logo to access menu - I think this is in some of the custom CM ROMs maybe?? I just can't do with that horrible three dot menu thing - erkkkkk! - can this be removed in the current CM ROMs??
-Is there a downloadable custom kernel??
And CM - please forgive me - I shall never cheat again no matter what new dressed up Senseual comes along and flirts with me and shows a bit of leg. And you do know - I always come back ...
I did the same thing. I was on stock ROMs for a week. I couldn't take it any longer why even root its just like stock. Ran cm for 2 days but still missed AOKP then saw it when official and I was all over it.
I've been on AOKP now for 24hrs and I'm never going back to stock ROMs.
This is by far the best ROM I've ran on a phone

I haven't got my N5 yet, but when I do and CyanogenMod is compatible with it, I will run that. I feel like CM is the most reliable ROM. It's probably just cause its the first ROM I discovered.

I'm going to stick with stock unrooted for awhile. I just don't feel the need for a different ROM/kernel.

Stock for now, I will root later but just to remove stuff I don't need on the phone

Patiently waiting for PA!
Stock + Root
probably until PA comes out
Once ROMS start rolling out, probably CM or OmmiROM. Really missing the extras that CM has.
Need some aokp lovin, until then just rooted.
Stock plus root, here. I just can't stand ads, so I installed an ad-blocking hosts file.
I also uninstalled a bunch of system apps I don't need using TB.

Stock rooted. Took a bunch of the bloat(to me) out immediately. Waiting for Carbon ROM and SlimKat to get going good.
There is no AOKP ROM right now right?
I'm missing it so damn hard. I even thought about switching back to my n4 until it's out here
Stock ROM is so bad >.<
im running stock+ root+ custom kernel... i will deff be flashing a custon rom soon once they get some thing ironed out..
Definitely stock rooted for a bit. I'd rather wait until development is stable.

Same here. Am missing some CM features quite a bit though.
(And I love your avatar!!!!!!)
Stock + Root out of the box.
I'm missing the customization from custom ROMs. I keep doing things like ribbon swiping the notification shade to get to the quick toggles out of habit. I'm going to wait until the development stabilizes before flashing one.
Stock rooted. But stock is so smooth. Rooting for Navbar and Toggles I actually want. So AOKP or Carbon whenever they come out.

Full stock for now.
Stock now of course.
Paranoid Android or Purity or PSX in the future with Franco Kernel.
Yay for our cool devs
Stock until I get bored of it. Then back to CM
