I also downloaded the new play store apk way back... I hate the new colours... Don't get why they gave it that nasty green header instead of holo to go with the rest of jellybean... And from most reports the new update will Still be jellybean, not KLP... So don't get the logic behind the green... Unless they DO launch KLP all a sudden at Google I/o...

[MENTION=3687104]DrunkFuX666[/MENTION] r u using some app to change the colors of N4? Or u happy with its colors?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I'm using the stock colours...

I tried to use the settings for "blacker blacks" using Franco kernel hoping it would look more like the super amoled screen, but it didn't... Far from it... Just made the screen a dingy dark colour... Eliminating all details to grey etc...

I didn't like that because the only real reason for wanting black blacks was to save battery life... But that has no effect on a IPS display like the N4... So what's the point in changing the colours to a dingy dull look when it won't help performance...

At least that's my take in it...

I tried to include some screenshots for you but of course you won't be able to see the difference without the settings :P

But bottom line... I see no reason to change stock colors...

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
I have no problem with blacks. It look okay to me. But coming from GS3, sometimes othr colors look dull (or dont know what shd i call it). But white really looks awesome in N4 and text is also great.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
That's because the contrast on super amoled screens is very very very high and colours are very very saturated... I admit it looks very pleasing to the eye, but that's not generally a natural colour representation... That's why lots of people like IPS for the natural colours it produces...

There is a "contrasty" setting I read about for Franco but was never able to find it to try... Didn't really bother looking for it too much either...

Bro tell me one thing. If we r moving from one custom rom (for example from PA to AOKP) to another, what wud be the procedure for that?

1. Update recovery

2. Boot into recovery ( im using cwm)

3. Data reset/factory reset (whatever it is called)

4. Flash rom and gapps

5. Remove cache

Correct? Or does every rom has its own way/method?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I'm using PACman... Its actually a interesting story why I'm using it, and I strongly suggest others try it...

I've been using CM since my moto Atrix... A diehard fan... Was on cm7 then cm9 then cm10 to 10.1... Cm8 was for honeycomb in case wondering...

Anyway I was gonna do the stock flash so thought about trying PA because soooo many people talk about it... And I did... And I HATED it... Simply because all the SIMPLE additions that cm had which made usage so so so much more practical were all missing in PA... The only thing it really had was the hybrid properties... Which I personally don't care much for... As in daily use it really doesn't make a big difference what it looks like... So as I mentioned within 2 hours I got rid of PA... Couldn't handle it...

Now where PacMan came from, a cousin had been using it on his Desire S for a while and always told me about it... Its basically a mixture of CM, PA and AOPK... Which means all the features are kinda cherry picked to make one big pile of extra features at your disposal, whatever you want to use... Which I tried... And since it had all the CM features i was used to, PLUS all the aopk and PA hybrid features... Its pretty much a Win Win situation...

I strongly do recommend it to anyone looking to try a new ROM...

It was pretty stable until 22.1.1... After the night lies started about a week ago there are occasional reboots... But nothing really major.. If you stick to 22.1.1 then your good... That and franco125 were giving me 5+ hours SOT... So... Do give it a look... Its the best of all 3 worlds ;)

Quite simple really... Just back up everything on your SD card because EVERYTHING will wipe...

For ease I would say download the "Nexus4toolkit"... Its stickied in one of the threads... Install it... And use it to do a stock restore... Instructions are given in it and very very straightforward... Also there are some vdos on YouTube how to use the software so you can check those out too...

Sent from my Nexus⁴

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Your pretty much correct... But... First step should ALWAYS be:

Make a Nandroid Backup...!! If anything goes wrong then you can always restore your old rom then.

And no need to update recovery... So basically...

1. Make Nandroid backup

2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

3. Wipe Cache & Dalvic for good measure

4. Install Zip from SD card

5. Install Gapps from SD card

6. Install custom kernel if required

7. Reboot and wait up to 10 mins

That's the general steps for any new ROM...

Okay so should I do a stock flash if I want to flash another custom ROM too? As in should I do a stock flash before flashing a different custom ROM? Though IMO it won't make much difference.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
No you have to flash stock img FIRST... Then do your root/recovery then flash whatever ROM you want...

The whole concept behind it is rewriting stock files... If you just flash another rom, you will surpass that...

My ex is in Karachi, Pakistan now visiting her mother and she uses SIM from Jazz, which she said is Mobilink. Anyway, internet access really blows. She's using Google Voice to text back to her family in the States, and that is also slow. Gmail messages of photos taken with the N4 literally take hours to arrive here in the USA.

I don't understand why 3G is not available in Pakistan. Much less developed nations in Asia have 3G available.

3G isn't here cause of regulatory issues. Fix them, and 3g will come. But for general cases, EDGE works. Not ideal, but not too horrible either. It also depends on the area you're in and the signal strength at times.

As for the GNexus... That was on Verizon and it was unlocked (except CDMA is, inherently locked)...

GSM versions are always unlocked sans carrier bloatware.

Problem with headphones in the market is they sell first copies saying they original... The sound quality is terrible for music on those... So if you just want for calls maybe you can just get the standard ones from the market... But if you want good sound then you may need to invest some more...

Just thought I would let you know... For the mic to work on the laptop, you need to make sure the headphone jack in the laptop is a Combo jack... They weren't a standard feature till about last year... So if a older laptop double check it...

Yeah will check that. But my galaxy s3 handsfree mic wud work properly on laptop.

And do u know any link from whr i can download stock 4.22 kernel of nexus 4? I mean the zip file which can be flashed through recovery.

One thing that i have noticed (i cud be wrong, since i m not an expert) is franco kernel works quite good on default color values. But if i change the color profile in franco updater app, sometimes switching b/w apps seems a bit laggy. Is it true?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
If the mic works with the s3 hands free it should work with any then...

If you want I can try to arrange a JVC hands free for you...

Nexus 4 bumpers

can anyone tell me where can i buy nexus 4 bumpers in islamabad/rawalpindi? I have searched blue area and singapore plaza but no luck.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
well i agree with most the stuff you said regarding dev support... ofcourse thats why i sold my s2 afterall tho i loved the thing... but the damn exynos source code... but to go as far as to say the nexus will be future proof... i think thats pushing it... esp when we saw the nexus one not go beyond 2.3 i believe... and has been announced the nexus s wont go past 4.1... so... its just a matter of time... probably a 3 year life at MAXXX... just like the iphones pretty much... but yea... ofcourse the nexus is the least of the evils...

tho its annoying where they make sure they keep the product just below the top of the line... by omitting one or 2 small things which do end up mattering alot in the real world scenario... and letting the competition make better phones but minus the software updates... saw it with all nexus devices... just not as perfectt as the others... but have that trump of updates... tho i feel the nexus 4 is def the best nexus yet... it is almost the best thing out there... if only it has expandable memory... guess the toned down camera can be lived with... but all these issues DeadSol pointed out... i think in the real world they will matter... i mean them saying the buzzing is hardware not software... the phone is heating up and shutting down... these arnt really things you just say 'whatever' to... im a power user... i multitask like a madman... and my s2 would be running hot as hell but would take the beating... if this cant seem to manage too well beyond room temp... not to mention in our country room temp is out in the sun of normal countries... it can be a serious issue in our climate... like AMD processors tend to overheat in our climate... this poses the same threat...

Dont get me wrong... i love the n4... and probably will end up getting it... but just think some light needs to be shed on these matters.. if they software then ofcourse not a issue... most i think are software by the way,... but the hardware glitches.... not to mention a LG phone in our country is just bad news when it comes to trying to sell it...

By the way your using a s3... can see it in your sig... but you say the n4 is superfast and the craziest thing ever... have you actually used it...?? as in for like a few days...? im sure the s3 doesnt give crazy issues out the box... i used a note 2 for a few days and that didnt have any of the probs you were speaking of... tho it has 2 gb ram, that wont really fix the lags your talking about just on touching it... the processors are exactly the same if i remember correctly... ?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Hahaha... your quite passionate about hating on the s3... it would have been alot easier to read tho if you wrote in paragraphs... kept getting lost... haha... but regardless... i see your point... and i know about the whole devs giving up on samsung which is no doubt very sad... i remember lots of devs were moving to the xperia T... and yea it does seem sad when you but the phone and a few months later its just outdated... but that technology... be it anything... but at the end of the day ts always price performance ratio... i think the i9305 is the best bang for the buck in this scenario... but i didnt really bother checking out dev support for it... which i dont think would be too much... but yea the N4 is probably better in the long run... i just do hope more the issues which are happening are indeed just software issues... i know bluettooth is... probably the yellow screen if your saying you had it before... same with the charging and other things... as long as its software it can be dealt with... bbut the issues like the buzzing speaker are a bit more worrisome when its said its due to poor sheilding and what not... cant really fix that can you...?

Butt all in all... i agree... a nexus device is a nexus device... having said that sales just opened in canada... it seems in canada a nexus4 16gb will cost you 41k while in the US it will cost you 38k.... due to taxes in canada plus the $10 extra pricetag... still 8k less than the cheapest seller in karachi... lets just hope its a good buy at the end of the day...
[Nexus 4 General] DeadSOL:
Well, if you say you were genuinely interested, then I'm glad you now know about the issues! :) :highfive:

*gasp* You did NOT say that the S3 looked hideous!!!! :eek: I think the S3 looks pretty sexy.

Oh, let's talk about the choices between the S3 and the N4 in Pakistan!

If you're going to buy a Nexus 4 from Pakistan at high prices, it would be infinitely better to go for the Galaxy S3! Why, you ask? Well, the price of the S3 will not fall as much as the price of the Nexus 4!!! I seem to remember that the Galaxy Nexus was near Rs. 70k when it was first released. Now, it's sitting pretty at close to its American price at around Rs. 33k. The price of the S3 has fallen from Rs. 63k to Rs. 50k. It isn't expected to fall much more!

So, if you buy a Nexus from Pakistan right now, you'll incur a great loss in 4-5 months! It'll be a HUGE loss, actually. If you buy the S3, you won't incur a massive loss. On the other hand, if you can get a Nexus 4 from abroad right now (obviously, there's no local warranty), you'll incur a big loss too due to a small demand in Pakistan and no warranty. You'll have to sell it for around Rs. 18k in a few month (crazy, I know)!

I'll bet that the best option would be to wait for the price to fall down if you already have a good phone (One X or Galaxy S3). Otherwise, get one from abroad. It's too pricey right now for Pakistan!
