[HOW-TO] - Install CyanogenMod The Easy Way Using CyanogenMod Installer (Now Available in the Play Store)

Here's a simple way to install CyanogenMod onto your device.
The article below is taken from here.


The vast majority of our readers are more than capable of manually unlocking, rooting, and installing a custom ROM. In fact, most of us here prefer doing things the old fashioned way. After all, the fun’s in the journey, not the destination. However, the same certainly cannot be said for the general population. With that in mind, the CyanogenMod team created the CyanogenMod Installer. This serves as the fastest and most streamlined way of installing CM onto your device, without much user effort required.
The installer comes in the form of two parts. The first is a phone client that is available on Google Play. The second is a connected desktop client that is installed on any computer running Windows Vista or later. Naturally, you also need to have a USB cable and have USB debugging enabled.
Importantly, root is not required to get started. Further, your bootloader doesn’t even have to be unlocked to use the desktop client. Rather, the installer unlocks and roots your device for you. There shouldn’t be any issues if you’re running a custom ROM either, as long as the installer can correctly identify your device.
Unfortunately, restoring back to stock is still a manual affair. That said, most users reading this will already be more than capable of running a Nandroid restore themselves. Finally, the CM Installer is currently compatible with the Nexus SGalaxy NexusNexus 7Nexus 7 (2013)Nexus 4Nexus 10,Galaxy S IIGalaxy S IIIGalaxy S 4Galaxy NoteGalaxy Note IIHTC One, and various variants of the above devices.
If you’ve been looking for an easy way to get CyanogenMod onto your device, it doesn’t get any easier than the CM Installer. Make your way to their Play Store entry and Installer Wiki Entry to get started.

[HOW-TO] - The Easiest and Safest Way to Unroot and Root Nexus 7 (2013) LTE and Nexus 4

I have tried several options - i.e. using the SuperSU to Unroot but somehow its not that "clean" and have some errors during Reboot to Recovery (even having the Android logo with the red exclamation mark).

Thus, with several retries, I found out the best and safest method would be using Skipsoft Android Toolkit. The latest Nexus 7 (2013) Toolkit at V 1.0.6
(Note: Please ensure you enable Settings --> Storage --> USB Connection --> Camera (PTP) to allow the PC recognise the device).

After the device has been unrooted, we can still use the Toolkit to Root the device back.
[NOTE: Its advisable to purchase/donate 4 Pounds to get the latest Nexus 4 Toolkit. It will solve many of the "pains" of Rooting/Unrooting Android 4.3 for Nexus 4].

[HOW-TO] - Root Nexus 4, 10 and Galaxy Nexus using SuperSU (Android 4.3)


Root Nexus 4, 10 and Galaxy Nexus using SuperSU

Requirements:
  • Android SDK configured on your computer
  • Custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP which you can flash using the Nexus Root Toolkit.
  • Nexus 4, 10 or Galaxy Nexus with unlocked bootloader which you can have using the Nexus Root Toolkit mentioned above
  • SuperSU 1.50 by Chainfire [download]
Procedure:
Step 1: Download the SuperSU ZIP package and transfer it to the root of your device.
Step 2: (Optional) If you don’t have a custom recovery installed, do it now using your preferred method (ideally you’d want to do that via fastboot).
Step 3: Boot the device into recovery and flash the SuperSU ZIP file.
Step 4: After you’ve flashed the superuser package, wipe cache and dalvik cache, just to be on the safe side.
Step 5: Reboot.
That’s it – your Nexus 4, 10 or Galaxy Nexus is now running rooted Android 4.3.

Dbrand cover for my Nexus 4

Excellent quality cover.One thing which I need to be cautious is placing the Nexus 4 carefully on the Panasonic Charger. Sometimes, it cannot detect the phone.

[How-To] - LG Nexus 4 - Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Update.




The Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update is a 52MB file. So you can downloaded directly from Google since it isn't available via OTA at the moment. You can reach here for manual update to Android 4.2.2.

CM 10.1 for Nexus 4 to get 4.2.2 Update

CyanogenMod tweeted today...



And here's his full post at G+

This update is deceptively large in the change department, but still manageable. We are working on the same principle as with the update from 4.1 to 4.2, and are working in 'mr1.1-staging' in our github. 

There are quite a few conflicts, which are to be expected as we are more than just a bare AOSP OS, but these will have to be sorted before we start issuing releases based on the 4.2.2 code base. 

Key items:

# Lots of translation conflicts. 
# There don't appear to be new device repos nor any communication on the usual mailing lists regarding this. Even updated kernel source appears to be missing. 
# Some major changes to hardware/qcom/display, which will affect most devices using that. Degree of the impact varies, but this seems to revolve around the new 4-layer composition. 

Please don't bug your various maintainers asking 'when?'. These things take time to do properly and rarely apply cleanly. Good work takes effort, and effort takes time.

[How-To] - Auto rotate your Android Nexus 4 to landscape mode

Here's a simple method to get your Nexus 4 into an Auto-rotatae screen (either portrait or landscape mode).
Note: I am already on CM 10.1 ROM and I am quite new to this Jelly Bean. Thus, I am not sure whether its the effect of Stock ROM or CM 10.1.. :-)

Settings -> Launcher -> General -> Enable Auto-rotate screen.
