Root Question about roms

Deleted User · Feb 19, 2015

Now that i'm rooted at 5.0.2, i've tried several roms but realized that i miss certain features of the 4.4.2, 4.4.4 roms i used to download on my LG G2. Changing the fonts, changing the lock screen wallpaper from the home screen wallpaper, and one or two others. I know that the devs work hard, and they can't please everyone, so i was wondering that if i did a factory reset(wipe data,cache, & dalvik), could i flash a 4.4 rom? Thanks.

If anyone happens to know of a rom with the features that i'm looking for, please let me know.

You probably could get away with performing a factory reset and then flashing the 4.4 ROM of your choice, but it would be safer to first flash the latest 4.4 factory image. That way you can be sure that all the various pieces (bootloader, radio, etc) match up and are fully compatible. And doing a full file system format (a part of flashing the factory image) is always a nice thing for when you're seeking a fresh start.

Never did that before. When do i flash the 4.4 factory image? Can you tell me by...step#1, step#2, etc? Thanks for the help. :eek:

There's a pretty good guide on that here: http://androidforums.com/android-sy...e-how-flash-nexus-factory-image-manually.html

Thanks, worked like a charm.

I honestly flash between 4.4.4 and 5.0.2 5-10 times a week using TWRP without issue. That said for every update down the line cept 5.0.2 had first returned to the stock factory image updated via ota and then re-fastbooted TWRP.
