Hey everyone, me again! So with Android 4.4 out for the Nexus 4, I thought some folks might need a little help installing it, or maybe just need a visual aid to help. So I made a How To video. Hopefully it helps some people :fingers-crossed: If it does, maybe hit that "Thanks" button?
Thanks dude just what I was looking for!

I have an easy root fix for once you update to 4.4 if you have Mac
I modified the Root.Nexus.4.zip file for Mac on here, updated it to CWM 6.0.4.3 image, and SuperSU 1.65 image. Just unzip, and run the Root.Nexus.4 terminal shell script with the N4 in fastboot with USB connected to the Mac, I think you can use a similar script for PC and prob need USB drivers if you don't have them already. Hope this helps
I'm unable to post a link on here since I'm a newb, PM if you want the link to the zip
Thanks
Another build available here : http://www.androidauthority.com/android-4-4-kitkat-nexus-4-nexus-7-download-unofficially-313352/.
Flashed this in CWM, everything, including root is absolutely fine. (I flashed SuperSu 1.65 zip). But for the proper google experience, have to wait for the factory images.
The lockscreen widgets functionality (except for the camera widget) seems to have been removed, can anyone find that option anywhere?
Edit: Lockscreen widgets can be enabled in Settings->Security.

Yeah, just thought I would share this link as well, since for some people, it seemed to break root, but this build worked fine for me, including root.

Well i was going to try but guess i hold off for official release.Thank you for the videos nice work.
Hey all,
Found this on dhacker29's Twitter, been using it for a couple of days. It's pretty much the same AOSP 4.4 that we already have from EvanA and koko98, with one big difference. Autorotate and Camera are both working!
I figured I'd share and also hope that this can be used by other devs to get it working in their builds. I've also included a link to dhacker's gapps package, I've used both his and the PA gapps without issue.;
AOSP 4.4 rom: http://t.co/9mSQtIRoO7
Gapps: http://t.co/o4wzxsfkig
Just to be clear, this is not my work. I am just spreading the news. All credit for this excellent build goes to XDA member dhacker29. For those of us that are using his rom, it would be a good idea to thank dhacker29 for his work.
Just find one of his posts/threads on XDA and click a thanks for him. This is a pretty cool and very functional rom to have so early in 4.4 development.
EDIT: koko98 has built a CM11 that also has working rotation and camera. Here's his link in the dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509905

Simply the best 4.4 rom available, great work!!
It's very good, except I don't know how to root it. I didn't flash gapps and now I have no custom recovery, nor root, and my computer won't detect is ADB device. Any help?

How? I have no TWRP, and I can't get TWRP because all of a sudden my PC no longer sees Nexus 7 at all, no MTP, so I can't access that and even when I properly reinstall all the drivers and enable USB debugging, it doesn't detect any ADB devices. It just gives me Windows beep beep sounds when plugging it in, but that's it, other than that it's useless. I should note that this started happening just after I installed Kit Kat (100% pure install), and I should add that I'm running Windows 8.1
Other than this, the ROM is very good! Well done developer.
If this is such a great ROM shouldn't it be posted in "Original Development?"
I was on 4.4 but downgraded because I wanted Screen Control and the Camera back.

what recovery were you using to flash this? the ROM flash shouldn't change your recovery.

Install recovery tool from the play store, use that to flash the latest twrp, it's a pretty useful app.
Once you have twrp use this zip for super user.

It's not posted in development because the dev, dhacker29 has not opted to post it himself. It's up to the dev or a designated maintainer of a rom whether or not to post it in development and provide support for it.
I found this rom and decided to post it as a way of sharing dhacker's work with the community. Besides, what does it matter where it's posted, if it works for you and you like it, use it. If it doesn't, just don't use it.

This is awesome, Thanks!
Anybody flash this and care to report what works and what doesn't. I just now saw this and I'll be flashing when I get home from work in a little while. I'm gonna assume that this works pretty good because there isn't a metric ton of posts about things not working.
The only problem I've noticed is that the CM updater doesn't seem to be passing the path to the update zip properly. I didn't have that problem with cwm recovery. However, I have a strange "/0/" in my internal storage path. Therefore, I can't blame either.
Backups, restores, and flashing seems to be working great! Love the customizable interface.

because stock cwm uses non sense /sdcard/0 in its sources
If you like to use the updater from cm, just set recovery to /data/media
Else, avoid cm updater
I am not going to restore non sense /sdcard/0 things in my sources
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was wondering what caused that. I've just been flashing the update zips manually.
Thanks for the awesome recovery!

Sideload is working and everything else, but the console log is not shown correctly while flashing. After it ends goes back to normal.

I was turning crazy to reproduce it until I saw you were using sideload
Please, can you confirm that the display bug happens only in sideload mode?
If you flash normally in recovery, the text fits right?

That's right, only happens when sideloading. Choosing a ZIP from the internal memory or SDCard for flashing shows a correct command line output.
Just wanted to share that one of my favorite add-on apk's for my Android phones is the OmniSwitch app switcher. I have been using it on my OPO with nightlies and it is working great! All details here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700039
I'm currently running CM11 nightlies.
I downloaded the apk version 1.1 and put it in /system/priv-app with rw-r-r permissions. Enjoy!
Didn't know that one.
Just tested it and works great on Gummy.
Thanks.
This app not working on cm 11s . I will be really grateful if someone can modify it so it can wolk with the cm 11s
This a Great app, but you could also try "Switchr" if this one doesn't work for you.

Maaan, I just can't get OmniSwitch out of restricted mode in the new stock OTA 44S. On 38H I had to use the lucky patcher method, since every other combination of flashing, pushing, mounting wouldn't roll.
I feel as if I'm the only one stuck =P I have flashed 1.0, 1.1, installed the APKs, installed the APKs over top the flashing, flash, lucky patched, and installed as well and no combo of removal and reboots gets me out of restricted mode. Does anyone have suggestions for me as how to fix this? I need OmniSwitch back!
