What guide are you following? You should have copied the rom to your phone before wiping. Did you do a backup of your stock from first?

Have you tried mounting the phone in Clockwork? under Mounts & Storage.

Haven't used Clockwork mod for ages but it should be /sdcard or USB storage

Really though you shouldn't have formatted it all!

Find "settings" in the list of apps & set it to 360p & increase the DPI.

thank you sir, final dumb question, this screen improvement.. is that part of the ROM or do I need to toggle it like the app I used on my nexus 7?

Part of the kernel

Its a completely stock kernel apart from the colour tweaks.

The colour tweaks are awesome. I've just downloaded his latest coloured tweaked kernel, going to try that too. Can't wait.

very smart, are there any power improvements in it? Sorry I know I can google this sort of thing but a) I'm working and b) I find as soon as you start reading android forums they get wilfully complicated and nerdy.

Nope completely stock apart from the colour tweaks

Yes they are TheCenturion! I think I preferred the colours from feb05 build though!

Download the zip > put it on phone > clear cache & dalvik cache > install zip.

cheers Mattey1,

last question, do i need to do any back ups or is 1 rom just replacing another?

You can do a nandroid back up if you feel like it just incase anything goes wrong. But I didn't bother personally.

I advise it if you are not confident though.

I'm not sure then sorry

Does the toolkit recognise it?

Did you back up the stock rom before wiping?

He wiped everything it seems.

Yes it does

Matteysan · 7 Feb 2013 at 18:32

Grab hold of the stock android image for the N4, flash it using option 11 in the toolkit, boot the phone up, copy PA over & then just wipe cache & dalvik & install the PA zip.

Not sure if you can restore a backup you made with the toolkit unless you are in android.

Ah yes so any backup he would have made would be gone now.

We can solve this. Let's think. He's got a completely wiped phone, no rom or anything, but can access cwm and can access the toolkit. The problem is that to push files from the toolkit on the phone, you need a rom. Any other features of the toolkit that could help ?

EDIT: There seems to be only one way you can save your device. Go into fastboot mode, and select option 9 on the toolkit. [Download, extract and flash google stock rom]

I think what I just said in the post above will sort it but don't quote me on that!

What I used for a reference, Fastboot should be ok to do it from.

See my edit above. Option 9 would be much easier no?
