any timeline on the next gummy update with 4.0.4?

Just curious. Thinking I'll wait to update everything at once instead of doing it now

I read on another forum somewhere (i think android central) that gummy may skip the update 4.04, until he knows it's official. Sorry don't have a link.

Thanks. Any info helps. Love the gummy 0.7.0 but I want the 4.0.4 update. Tried flashing it and it messed my world up lol. Thank god for cwm recovery. Inside my house is right on the verge of 3g/4g. Hoping this will put it into stable 4g.

I was on Gummy 0.7.0 too. FANTASTIC ROM! But I wanted to try 4.0.4. Go to this thread. Download the second option:
Rooted,De-odexed,Zip-aligned ROM With Stock Insecure Boot Image And New Radios & Bootloader
Reboot into CWM, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, factory reset, format /system (sounds redundant, do it anyway). Flash the above, enjoy. I've been on it all day, it's great! I miss some of the features in gummy, but it's no biggy.

thanks im still on the fence cause im in love with gummy lol, is there any noticable difference in signal strength? that would be the only reason id do it, and i still may not leave gummy, im hooked

Paul O'Brien has mentioned 4.0.4 for the GSM Nexus so we'll see what comes about (I think he has it at present)

Don't expect the ROMs compiled from AOSP source to get updated to 4.0.4. The leak is a cooked ROM and most of the devs have already heavily invested in AOSP 4.0.3 with custom code.

Jellybean is expected soon(4.1.2) however there isn't a specific date.
I would restore to 4.0.4 via kies or odin
From there its easy to root and get a custom touchwiz jellybean ROM on you device if you don't want to wait for it
If you want to root follow these instructions word for word:

Thanks but I think you may have misunderstood my question - My phone is rooted and has jelly bean firmware on it from the previous owner I was just wondering can I update the custom firmware directly through the phone from the aokp app?

So you are running AOKP on your phone, and you want to update to the latest AOKP version? Then yes, just download from the app, and flash it.

I'm not sure what aokp is I have an app named "aokp ota updater ver" on my phone and there is a new version of the firmware available (d2att jb jzo45k) for download I just want to make sure I can install and update directly from my phone.

I think you are running AOKP. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
You can download the zip file from the aokp ota update app and install it from there.
Just to be safe, before you install the zip downloaded from the app, go to the link above, download the latest zip and gapps into your phone.
If you encounter bootloop, then you can turn off the phone, then go to recovery, wipe cache/data/davik cache, then install the zip and gapps from the site.
Either way, you have to flash gapps.zip after flashing the rom.
Note: When you wipe data, your apps, contacts, sms will be deleted.

Running AOSP kernels

Hi guys,
I'm running stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on my d2tmo Galaxy S3. When I look up kernels and whatnot, they are labelled many different ways. Some have JB in the name, some with AOSP in the name. I'm wondering: what types of kernels can I flash if I'm running a rooted stock ROM? I don't want to flash any custom ROMs because I'm a musichead and I like the stock music player
Thank you!

First of all you can get then stock music player with a custom rom
Second you can only run aosp kernels with an aosp rom. Aosp stands for android open source project. Aosp is not stock.
You can only use kernels labeled stock or touchwiz if you are using stock based rom

3rd of all, what in the heck do you want? Haha, you say you are running a 4.1.2 rom (only aosp available on TMO) so AOSP... but you want a kernel for stock (4.1.1) touchwiz rom? The stock music apk is great and works on all stock touchwiz based roms, and in my resource guide I have a huge list of what is available and what is what, if the kernel says 4.1.1 TouchWiz then it is for 4.1.1 TouchWiz. if it says 4.2 AOSP it is for 4.2 AOSP, if it says 4.1 AOSP then it is for 4.1 AOSP... Look in my resource bible in my signature, or in the dev sections for [kernel].

See, that's where I get confused. Sorry for the noob questions. I've been looking around but can't find clear, precise answers.
I'm running the stock TouchWiz, out of the box, 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (updated while not rooted to 4.1.2). That stock ROM is not the same as an AOSP ROM or an AOKP ROM, is it? I have another Android device that runs CM10.1 so I know a bit here and a bit there about ROMs and whatnot, but I'm not so confident when it comes to my S3.
Simply put, I want to keep that stock ROM, but get a custom kernel, because the stock kernel SUCKS. I need to know what kernels I can flash, and clninja already said I can only flash kernels labelled stock or TW. Am I correct, so far?
Thank you!

Well here's a Kernel that is supposed to be supported for STOCK rooted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785466 :highfive: But seriously you should get a custom ROM, the performance improvement is incredible and power management too ! :laugh:

There is a 4.1.2 stock ota ROM?!? I suck lol.

That ROM is labelled Jelly Bean in the title but underneath that it says it's only compatible with ICS. Question mark.
Question: when you're running a custom ROM, if there's an update for it, say from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, you can just flash the update right over and not worry about problems right? Or do you need to factory reset through recovery and wipe the caches all over again?

There are a couple of touchwiz kernal's around, Ktoonsez is one that I would recommend, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
Usually the general rule of thumb with upgrading custom rom is full wipe and flash, but some users has dirty flashed and had no problems so it depends whether your phone likes you or not.

Most of the times when you flash a ROM that is built off itself, you can "dirty flash". Example--> That means if you are already on a RootBox Nightly 2/17 with a clean install and RootBox 3/6 comes out, all you have to do is wipe /cache and /dalvik-cache and then flash the new version of the ROM. If any bugs creep up, then if you dirty flashed, chances are that is why.
If you are going to go from a TWiz ROM to an AOSP/AOKP ROM then I suggest a full factory reset and wipe accordingly. That way you have a clean install.
Read the OPs of the ROMs

Yup. Thankfully my phone likes me, plus I kind of know what I am doing with regards to diagnosis.
@OP Can you please post exactly what your Build Number says in Settings>About Phone?

You could install the update, but seriously I never do updates. I manual flash the whole new ROM. ( and I never had any accidents or bugs)
For the kernel, its was a example kernel chose the one you prefert ( THAT SUPPORT TOUCHWIZ STOCK ROM ) or just flash a new ROM with build-in kernel like the ParanoidKANGdroid 10.2 ROM !

I flashed the FrostyJellybean ROM with Xone kernel and it's been good so far. I'm a religious person when it comes to battery, but so far it's about the same as the normal drainage on the stock ROM, no noticeable improvements.
Another question (whoop): if I run a Nandroid backup, does that backup include the ROM itself? In other words, if I'm running the Frosty ROM, and there's a ROM I want to test, will creating a Nandroid include the Frosty, or will it just backup the system image excluding the ROM itself? I'm asking this because I have wanted to restore my Nandroids but didn't know if that backup may overwrite my existing ROM with the previous ROM.
Thank you guys for taking your time to help me out, I really appreciate it!

I have flashed a new ROM, so I no longer have the stock Build Number. It now says FrostyJellybean v11.6. I can tell you for a fact that I was previously running 4.1.1 rooted but without any customization or mod whatsoever outside the phone's original settings, so as stock as you can get.

A Nandroid is essentially a snapshot of your ROM at that point in time. You can back it up, try a new ROM and if you don't like it, then restore your Nandroid. A Nandroid should be done before you flash anything. You don't necessarily have to keep them all except your latest, but at least have one for when you try something out.
You can flash and restore just fine from ROM to ROM. Only thing is, you can't restore across platforms. Meaning, if you are on JB 4.1.1, you couldn't restore to ICS 4.0.4. Likewise you can restore a JB 4.1.1 if you are on a JB 4.2.2 ROM because of the file structure. There are ways to do it, but I won't go into that right now. Moral of that story is you can flash and restore laterally as far as builds go, but you cannot restore across different base builds.
*************
I just wanted to see your Settings>About Phone>Build Number because in your OP, you stated that you were running "stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean". We don't have a stock 4.1.2 ROM, so I was making sure you didn't have another phone. Sure, could be a T999 but there are Canadian versions out there that require different things.

Oh, about the Android version, yes, it's 4.1.1. I wrote 4.1.2 because I thought there was some stuff going on, like wireless and whatnot, and had previously read somewhere that 4.1.2 was rolling out and my phone was doing the "Android is upgrading" thing when it booted up and I didn't check the version before writing that. No worries, it was the stock 4.1.1.
Thank you so much for answering my questions, you guys are awesome!

PA 3.9 for AT&T Galaxy S3

I've been looking for the thread for the latest stable version (3.99?) of PA, but can't find it. When I go in from the AT&T ROM section it goes straight to the 4.0 beta. I also went on their website, but the ROMS are different names and I don't know which one I would choose. It would be better if I could get a link to instructions too, so I don't run into problems since I have never installed PA before. Thanks!

The paranoid android team doesn't officially support your device. You need to find a port for your device

Go here;
http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/d2att
The latest version is pa_d2att-BETA-3.99-RC2-20130921 and it's pretty stable. You'll have to flash it using TWRP instead of CWM. Make sure your bootloader/modem is I747UCDLK3, otherwise it won't flash. It works with the latest 4.3 GApps as well. Hope this helps.

I fit says that your device is a Maguro one that means it is a GSM version, and the Toro one is the Verizon version also known as the LTE version. If you want to know for sure if your device is Maguro or Toro, install CPU-Z and go to the sytem tab, there should tell you if you are Maguro or Toro. Now to answer to your question? I think the best 4.4.4 ROM for GNex is ShinyROM. If you like your phone to look like it is stock,but to run the latest version, I suggest this ROM. If you like to customize your android, I recommend AOKP or Cyanogenmod.
