[Verizon] From 4.1.2 to 4.3

[Hipe0ples555]

Hello, I have been on AOKP 4.1.2 for almost a year now and finally want to move on to 4.3. Is there anything I should know about the whole file movement subject or something about re-rooting it? By the way, my charge port does not work, will that make it harder to save files if they need to be backed up or what not?

i went from 4.2.2 to 4.3.1 the other day without any hiccups... but idk about 4.1 tho but it probably should be the same. Just make sure you have up to date recovery and su and you should be good, thats pretty much all i had to do. Go find a rom and the latest gapps and sail into the sunset...

Just make sure to back everything up.

Another important thing is the changes into 4.3, the fact that you need to download the latest Gapps, and kernels that are 4.3 specific, if you don't download those you will get a lot of errors right from the get go.

And how do you charge your device if the charge port is broken? How would you connect it to your computer, or does it just not charge?

IMHO with all the early problems I've read about with 4.3.x ROMs on the Gnex, I have no desire to 'upgrade'. Heck I'm still not totally sold on my 4.2.2 ROM over the 4.1.2 ROM I had before.

But if you take the plunge, do make sure you have the latest custom recovery going forward from 4.1.2 otherwise you will end up with a mess on your sdcard. See this thread:

I haven't really had any issues with the 4.3 Paranoid Android. It works pretty good, decent battery life.

if the devs can ever solve the bug of data not coming back when returning from airplane mode and the occasional ram/memory leak thiings are fairly good...

It's been a while, but don't you have to re root the 4.3 ROMs?

What do you mean?

No you don't you can just go straight into them.

And I don't have the issue every time with this ROM but I think I had it once. It has been a very apparent problem with every ROM on the GNex I have used.

If you are rooted then skip 4.3 and go to 4.4 and enjoy. I put up the link in Verizon root section for Galaxy Nexus.

I just updated the Root Guide to reflect that

Anyone have a link to the 4.3 gapps? goo.im servers seem to be down.
