THIS IS AN INITIAL BUILD. THIS MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL OR IF IT BOOTS IT MAY HAVE MANY MORE BUGS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. Installing a custom ROM on a Nexus 4 requires the bootloader to be unlocked on the Nexus phone, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.

It basically works, but the two most important apps (Telephone and Camera) consistently crash.

Admittedly, I did steps d and e in one step (without rebooting into recovery mode after installing CM14).
Also, I’m not sure if I understood the sentence “Wipe data factory reset, Cache partition, Dalvik Cache and Format the System partition.” correctly.

Fortunately, I was able to restore the NAND backup :-)

[Henning von Bargen]

Well, it basically worked for me – except that the telephone and camera apps crash consistently.

[shibaa987]

Can you try with the latest ROM update and let me know how it went?

Also I have updated the “Wipe data factory reset….” sentence to a meaningful one.

OK, I tried a second time.
This time I rebooted after installing CM14 with TWRP and before installing OpenGApps.
And now everything seems to work perfectly.

Thank you StepanMC!

Update: Video recording is not working – neither 1080p nor 702p.

[Henning von Bargen]

I’m not sure if this is related to the ROM, but today I tried making a call over Bluetooth for the first time. It consistently falied with an error message “Kein Netz” (no network). However, making a call without Bluetooth and the Bluetooh pairing DO work.
I’m a Java developer, but not on Android. Can I help debugging the video an BT call issues somehow?

[shibaa987]

Hi Henning, can you try the video recording with some third party camera apps?

I tried with OpenCamera – the same effect. Taking photos is working, but video recording stops immediately with an “unknown error”. The app’s about dialog says “Last video error: error_268435556_-1007.”

[Henning von Bargen]

At least, the BT call problem seems to be unrelated to the ROM :-)
Today I made a few calls over BT without any problems. Looks like yesterday it was actually a network problem…
