Cool... Mine will be in a slim case soon, but I could get my Daughter to do that (Graphic artist with all the paints and tools).
[Nexus 7 General] djrazi:
I used Elmers Painters Neon Pack from Amazon. I bought them just to try this out. I wouldn't really recommend these because the tip is to big to get the paint into the engraving and it took me awhile to clean it up. And it doesn't seem like the paint would really hold up that long. Im going to try to take out all the paint and re-do the color with some better markers.
[Nexus 7 General] CooCooCthulhu:
This is really cool! Definitely makes the back look much more enticing and, I think Google and Asus should've designed something like this to begin with.

I'll be trying this out for sure! Nice work!
[Nexus 7 General] lin013190:
Looks great! Picture didn't loss for me earlier.

Thanks guys for all the comments and likes! If anyone else tries this please post pictures I would love to see them! Maybe someone else can try custom colors!

Remove the paint on Asus
[Nexus 7 General] Masssy:
That looks pretty cool. Although people, be careful if you want to try paint on your backing, it might not be very easy to find a new one if you screw up. It seems to have the NFC antenna on it as mentioned on this xda unboxing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=iNWRto0Vf0M#t=316s
[Nexus 7 General] daraldf:
Very nice!
[Nexus 7 General] dadoc04:
agreed
[Nexus 7 General] kamui957:
One easy way to do this is to paint each part of the letters seperately by covering everything else with painter's tape. Given this is plastic, certain model paints would work well as long as you used a finishing coat spray for protection. Just be sure to go nice and slow and take the back cover OFF the nexus. I got mine off with my thumbnail, though any of the little pry-tools sold for phone repair would work effortlessly, just go nice and slow.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
NEXUS looks good to me, ASUS makes it a little much. Good idea tho.
[Nexus 7 General] Vugari:
I decided to try this and love how it turned out. Accidentally started a thread on the topic because I didn't see this one...but here's my picture.
[Nexus 7 General] Tonyipad2:
Hey dj that looks quite nice bro!! I think I'm gonna do it on my nexus 7 too! But first gonna go find some glow in the dark neon paints :p I'm gonna do it!!!
[Nexus 7 General] ThePerson98:
Looks pretty cool! Personally, I find the blue to be a bit too strong, but it's all preference. I do wonder how it'd look if someone simply colored in the X with the corresponding colors while leaving the rest alone. Overall, it's pretty nifty!
[Nexus 7 General] dilldoe:
wonder who's gonna be the first to cut out the X and stick some rgb led there.
[Nexus 7 General] Shamushand:
****, now I want to do that...
[Nexus 7 General] jinside:

[Nexus 7 General] jonnyg1097:
Damn that sounds awesome. I wouldnt dare risk that on my back cover though...maybe if there were replacements for sale somewhere I would consider attempting it but not now.
[Nexus 7 General] AraDreamer:
Uh, fellas, hate to burst your bubble, but isn't that where the NFC antenna is? Not that it wouldn't look sweet. What are the other painters using on the back of their tablets? I was thinking of maybe just using nail-polish or something and then I could remove it easily and redo-it when I wanted. Then again, mine's in a black TPU, so painting the back is kinda pointless. Maybe a sticker on the case...

-Ara
[Nexus 7 General] got556:
Why did u have to suggest this lol. I'm already gonna paint my backing white but to have a red led x would be wicked awesome.
[Nexus 7 General] got556:
For a more permanent option I will be using SEM vinyl paint
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
Damn that looks nice. I agree with some other people about the asus logo being a little much but that colored Nexus one is damn sexy. Definitely going to have to do this to mine at some point in the near future.
[Nexus 7 General] clintkev251:
Wow, that looks amazing! Thanks for sharing
[Nexus 7 General] djrazi:
Thats a great idea!!!! I might actually try that next. I don't mind screwing around with the back because Im pretty sure OEM replacement backs will be released soon.
[Nexus 7 General] got556:
Will probably be painting mine white tomorrow
[Nexus 7 General] rollerpig:
are you going to strip off the finish on the back or just paint over it? also did you plan on using a sealer? let me know i just made a thread about this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831575 I'm interested in seeing how everything will turn out :good:
[Nexus 7 General] lunarken:
i painted the logo on the official case instead...
[Nexus 7 General] Wololo7:
What about Plastidip? I might do that. And then I won't need a case. Just a pouch.
[Nexus 7 General] patriot720:
I was thinking the same thing. Plasti dip works wonders. Plus, it would be completely removable.
[Nexus 7 General] Nippero:
I just did some quick research, it seems like people have used Plasti-Dip as a primer layer for their car rims, and sucessfully sprayed a colored paint on top of that...

Sounds like an interesting idea.

Never used plasti-dip before though... don't want to screw up my N7.

Anyone want to be a guinea pig? lol
[Nexus 7 General] justinangil:
I use to do something similar to my Motorola pagers when I was a teenager.

I'd take crayons and melt it with a lighter until it drips on to the grooved surface of the Motorola logo.

Then I would take a cloth and dip it in to petroleum jelly and use it to clean off any excess around the surface.

Maybe I should try that with the N7 logo..
[Nexus 7 General] rollerpig:
i wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind losing the tiny dimples/divots on the back. plasti-dip is most likely too thick to cover this holes without completely filling them in, hence why this is used as a primer.
[Nexus 7 General] Nippero:
Yea didn't realize how small those dots really are until I got my N7 today.

Will probably still give it a try though, I dont mind losing the dots. My main concern is losing the Nexus or Asus, and finding a way to mask off the buttons + speaker hole neatly...
[Nexus 7 General] blackjaguar25:
I would pay someone to do this.
[Nexus 7 General] rollerpig:
stay tuned to my thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831575&highlight=custom+paint)

I'm headed back to school next week and am going to begin experimenting with different paints/clear coats on my nexus 7 once i have access to the studio's paint booth. if everything goes well i'll be able to offer xda members some pretty cool paint jobs.

i believe the buttons and speaker grate could be removed it without damaging them. i haven't had time to closely look at them but when i did the grate appeared to be held on by small metal clips similar to those on the back of a framed photo. buttons looked a littler trickier
[Nexus 7 General] Nippero:
Interesting. I've taken phones apart in the past to replace entire housings and I do remember my Xperia X1 having grates and buttons that were removable.

I haven't taken the back cover off my N7 yet.

Just got it today, going to test it out before opening it up and investing my time lol.

Also tried to find plasti-dip at hardware stores today, dropped by a few but all they had was the black spray, no white :|

If the button and grates are easily removable then I'm going to go ahead and try plasti-dip lol. Cant hurt right? I'll test it on just a small spot of the edge first to ensure it doesnt leave a mark.

EDIT: Definitely looking forward to your results though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wintablet:
Every few days there are reconfirmation of ban on Sale of SGT 10.1 in US. Is it really clone of Ipad? How close is it really?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mr.fast:
It's not indistinguishable from an iPad. It's easy to tell apart by the fact it is 16:10 whereas the iPad is 4:3 making it appear more square than rectangular. Also, it says 'SAMSUNG' clearly on the front, so obviously it isn't an iPad. The iPad also has a physical button on the front where the Tab 10.1 has none.

This is mainly just Apple being A**holes and suing anything that is black and has a bezel.

Also the Tab 10.1 lacks Apple's design 'Coolness' :laugh:

[HTC One V] RMarkwald:
Hello all,

Many of you may know this, I ran into this the hard way with my gf's new One V. The tiny back cover protecting the SIM card has metal contacts in it that let the device use it's antennas, cell and wifi. If you do not have this cover on, you will get on/off cell service (3g, 1x, nothing), and won't be able to connect to wifi. Poor design, so get a case.

Luckily we were in the 15 day window and took it back to US Cellular and they replaced it. They didn't want to, but I got lucky. Otherwise you'll have to contact HTC to get a replacement, or find it if it falls off.

Just a heads up.
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
Thank you captain obvious. Your job is done here!
[HTC One V] RaskloP:
It's actually not obvious.

Losing a cover on most other cell phones does not make them functionally useless.

Thanks for the FYI RMarkwald!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dubstone:
So I'm having a pretty weird problem with my phone. Auto rotate is not working pretty much system wide. The screen won't rotate in the browser, YouTube messaging app, or for nova launcher

Interestingly enough, the only place rotation seems to work is in the camera app, which changes orientation without a problem. Games like temple run which use the gyroscope also work fine, so I suspect this isn't a hardware issue.

I'm running cm10, have wiped and did a clean install and still have the same problem. I have also tried flashing a touchwiz rom and auto rotate was not working on that rom either.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tpoasis:
not sure what the problem is but im having a problem with the auto rotate not working in the gallery app and im looking for a fix everything else is rotating just fine and ive attempted to recalibrate the gyroscope but have had no luck with it correcting my issue so you aint the only 1 out there with a minor migraine.

[HTC Amaze 4G] koroth:
Hello Everyone,

I hope there is an obvious solution that I am just missing. I have the Amaze 4G on Wind Mobile, I rooted, then flashed the Energy rom. Then I wanted to return to stock. I have followed more tips, tricks, guides, suggestions, how-to's then I can count so here is where I am at.

I can still get into hboot/fastboot as well as whatever recovery I happen to flash with Hasoon2000's kit;

hboot version is 1.93.0002

I am still S-ON

I was running the official stock ICS; I rooted after that update; so I don't think that I need to return to GB then OTA update to ICS.

I have tried the three Wind mobile stock RUU's that are floating around; the first two fail because my hboot is a newer version.

I have downloaded the Wind ICS OTA file, extracted the stock boot and recovery .img files and flashed them over with the Hasoon2000 kit, renamed the un-extracted ICS OTA file to PH85IMG.zip (with only ONE .zip), copied to my external card, relocked the bootloader, removed the battery and rebooted. It finds the file, loads, checks, then sends me back to the hboot screen. I have tried then rebooting the phone and eventually it ends up at the white HTC boot screen and sits there. I have tried leaving it there for 30 + minutes and unless it might need days I don't think it is going anywhere.

I have managed to boot into the stock recovery which at times even gets a progress bar, reboots, and sits at the HTC screen; other times I get the red triangle.

I know other people have had issues similar to this as I have read an endless number of threads on the subject, none of the suggestions have worked thus far.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT:

I can still install custom roms so not all is lost, but I would still like to get back to the stock rom and it still isn't working. I tried using the tool from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526316 to reset my version and then run the update wizard and it recognized that I was at version 1.00.0000 but still failed.

Also installing PH85IMG.zip from the sd card gets to the parsing stage and then goes back to hboot.

Any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] koroth:
Tried to delete this thread but couldn't figure out how so I'll just edit it again.

I finally found the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27058110&postcount=44

It doesn't specifically state that this problem applies to Wind mobile users but given the issues I am having I assume it does.

So I need a nand backup file! I would have my own except the SD Card it was saved on has died. So if anyone out there is using the Amaze 4G on Wind Mobile and can send me their Nand backup I will be forever grateful!

Unless of course those reading this know of an alternative solution?

Thanks in advance!

2) He made sure his Kindle wasn't plug it and ran the (install drivers.bat)

3) once it installed he plug the kindle to his computer and the screen was on the USB and he ran the (run.bat)

4) Once he ran it and he was on the main Menu ADB: Online so he thought it was good to go so he click on "2" and press Enter

5) While he was still installing the "Installing Permanent Root with SuperUser" he stop and time just kept going up and so he got irritated and close down the Program and his Kindle Fire is Frozen on the Kindle Fire

We can turn off the kindle

We tried resetting it for 20 seconds and it just shuts down and doesn't turn back on
