Is possible to replace Nexus 4 glass back for something else?

Before I had this phone, I replaced my Iphones back cover with one found at cnn.cn.

I am wondering if this is possible with the nexus 4 and if so how I would go about doing it.

thanks

No. Not yet anyway. They have carbon fiber body protectors though
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnewman1991:
Not yet. Hopefully companies start making some though. I love the glass back, but don't think it will hold up too long. I'd love to replace it for a carbon fiber or leather back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
Some reviews mentioned that the back glass is somehow linked to the board inside which cannot be replaced easily
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatalityBoyZahy:
The glass back contains the NFC chip, and some antennas if I remember correctly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
The glass back doesn't contain anything. The back is multiple layers. The outer layer (the glass) is stuck to a plastic back w/ sticky stuff. On the other side of the plastic back frame is where the antenna's are stuck. It's basically a sandwich. Antenna's etc, on one side, plastic in the middle, and glass on the other side.

You can see this here http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/QOafFZVDlGVyMbhj.huge

The question is how sticky is the glue stuff they use, and is it reusable if removed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nshaikh:
Anything available as of now, i need the back body ... the glass is shattered badly :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
so the glass is stuck to the back of the frame of the handset ?

So all we need to do is, machine some plastic plates the same as the glass and re-adhere the new back on ?

Anyone with a smashed Glass back can try this ? cut a 4mm piece of black perspex and replace . . . .

cant see why LG/GOOGLE don't make some nice non-glass replacements . . . .

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
Do you feel these skins will actually help protecting the glass back? I'm not really talking about scratches, but mainly drops...

And eh, do they stick nicely? I hate skins, but this is just something else.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Doubtful about crack/shatter protection... more for scratches/personalization or for concealment when your glass does inevitably shatter ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
Yeah it won't stop the glass shattering, people who have kept their factory plastic covers on have still shattered.

The glass is brittle like any glass , gorilla glass is just scratch resistant / repellant but it will scratch if you use something with the same hardness as glass ( that's sand particles / building site dust / metal swarf ) and a hit on the edge of the phone where the glass meets the from will shatter the glass 90% of the time.

Get a rubber case and screen protector if your worried, I scuffed up my HTC one x good with out them and I'm not taking chances with the nexus . .

The only way to stop this is a replacement back cover made of another material.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsavman:
Mine is not broken (yet), but I am also looking for a plastic back replacement for my N4.

I'd love to find something made from rubberized plastic, and I could even deal without NFC and wireless charging.

Seems though, that nobody has ever made such a thing.

Only thing I find that "might" do the job, is tempered glass, but still, it's glass.

I am using the Ringke Fusion case from day 1, and it has saved my phone on a couple occasions, but it adds a lot of bulk to the device.

I am even thinking of buying a N5, just to use it without a case. If I find a replacement for my N4, I'm gonna stick to it.

How dit that work out for you?

Does it offer any drop protection?

When using Chrome on my Nexus 10 and streaming audio on a one tab, when I switch to a different tab the music stops.

I did some digging and found this solution:

https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/11361239

I'm a complete noob when it comes to implementing the solutions posted. Since I don't want to wait until they update Chrome and implement these modifications, I want to be able to put them in myself. The problem is I have no idea how. I tried searching but couldn't find anything relevant. Maybe I'm just not looking up the right keywords?

If somebody could please tell me/point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

I look forward to regaining functionality it should have, just like I look forward to rooting it once I have some time this weekend.

[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Just a heads up to anyone out there relying on Gorilla Glass 2, I don't think it is as effective as the original gorilla glass at resisting scratches. I once took keys and knives to the screen of one of my old Sensations that I was about to send in for a warranty replacement to see if it would scratch, and it didn't at all, and I used the phone completely normally for months and sold it without even a nick on the display.

My Nexus 4 screen has already scratched in some places. It's very minor, and not noticeable with the screen on, but they occasionally catch light. It's getting replaced anyway for a defect, so I don't care that much, but I'm definitely going to get a screen protector on the replacement one. I thought I wouldn't have to get any of those anymore, and it sucks because I really prefer the feel of a naked screen, but it looks like I can't take the chance. It's not like I haven't babied the phone, it's maybe grazed my keyring a couple of times, but nothing the old gorilla glass couldn't handle. I noticed my mother's GSIII with gorilla glass 2 also has some scratches in it.

Just a heads up, might want to get this one protected if you were thinking of not protecting it because it had gorilla glass. :silly:

[Nexus 4 General] albundy2010:
Take out your knifes, keys, pitchforks etc and try and scratch the glass. You will not succeed.

People give you crap not just because of the other threads. But because it is common knowledge. A softer substance simply can not scratch a harder one. All the gorilla glass my butt etc post just = facepalm.
[Nexus 4 General] SevenSe7enSeven:
Glass is glass no matter what prefix it has.

/thread
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that softer substances cannot scratch harder substances, and that is the exact point of these threads, to point out the new gorilla glass is softer than the old gorilla glass and it should be taken special care of. This phone, under the same conditions my Sensation was under for months has already received micro scratches, and I have read similar complaints about the GSIII on other forums. It's an important issue to cover, certainly more than "OMG I JUST GOT MY SHIPPING NOTIFICATION!!!"

It's a point of discussion, whether or not all devices are weaker like this, or if it's just a certain serial range, or what else. I have heard some cases of people dropping phones into sand and not receiving a single mark.

To counter the glass is glass argument, a lot of new screen protectors are made out of near-scratchproof tempered glass ;)

Not all glass is made equal!

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] orty:
I recently acquired a Photon Q LTE after being an Epic 4G user for years. I've flashed and rooted and beat that Epic 4G to bits over the years, but I can't seem to get CWM installed on this device for the life of me.

I've verified I've unlocked the bootloader and followed the directions in shabby's thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856480) and on a couple other sites (http://www.andromods.com/basic-how-...r-user-install-cwm-recovery-photon-q-lte.html and http://www.androidegis.com/how-to/root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-motorola-photon-q-4g/), but it never seems like CWM wants to stick. Fastboot sends the file fine and says it writes it, but whenever I try to boot into recovery, I get the old school factory recovery with the Red Triangle and the Android System Recovery (3e) header, which is the factory bootloader (right?). Obviously SU isn't going to load in there.

My wife was playing with my new phone before I had a chance to do so (it was a gift), and I think she ran the latest OTA updates before I had a chance to even touch it. Looks like I'm running SW Version 77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US and Android Version 4.0.4, so I don't know if this has been tested with that or if I'll need to revert to a lower version, root, and then upgrade.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
sometimes stock ROMs have a file in the system folder called recovery-from-boot, which reinstalls stock recovery on boot. if you have flashed SU, try looking in /system, and if that file is there, you can rename it to recovery-from-boot-bak, and that should disable it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] orty:
I haven't been able to get SU installed as I can't get CWM installed. Is there another way to push SU to the phone without CWM?

Running terminal emulator, I can see there's a recovery-from-boot.p file /system, which is probably my issue. So basically, I need to get SU on there somehow to kill it, unless there's a way to kill that file with desktop adb or something.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
ok, i see. damn that's odd, because i haven't seen anyone run into this. i'm trying to think if there

is a way to boot straight into recovery from the bootloader, without booting up the system. i don't think you will be able to modify the file in /system without SU.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

come to think of it, i think there is a rootkit somewhere here that will install SU without flashing recovery. can't find it atm tho... but i believe it is said to still work on your software version..

actually if i remember correctly, i think it might be Dan Rosenberg's Motofail2Go exploit:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1940594

the other thing you might try is flashing TWRP recovery instead of CWM. i am not sure but maybe TWRP automatically disables the recovery-from-boot file. i used TWRP and i see my file is already renamed and i never consciously did that!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] orty:
I'll try to get a few minutes tonight and give that a whirl. Will report back as soon as I can.

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
i just posted at the same time as you, so if you didn't see it, perhaps TWRP recovery is worth trying too!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] orty:
Motofail2go got SU installed, which allowed me to rename that file. Then was able to follow the procedure to install CWM just fine.

Did CWM not stick on my Photon Q ?

What is the key sequence to boot into CWM on a motorola photon Q ? I did an motorola upgrade before I tried any of this so my version nmbers are the same as orty.

SW Version 77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US and Android Version 4.0.4

Here's how it went. - The bootloader unlock seemed to work fine. Things were a little hairy with the CMW install. I am doing this on ubuntu and much like orty I had to make the best guess from various posts. Since I'm not sure of the key sequence to boot for CWM - you can bet I was not holding any buttons when the thing rebooted after downloading CWM. I looked around for a while before I found anything about the key sequence and now if I try a boot holding power & volume up I get an dead android with an red triangle ! in his tummy. I gather this means failure. I did however manage to install Superuser from ChainsDD. Does having Superuser installed mean anything about whether I have CWM installed or not? I am confused! From this post I gather I should try the CMW install again and hold the buttons when it reboots? What do you see to indicate you are in CWM? Some sort of menu?

If I knew how I would try and use the installed SU to look in /system to see if there are any of the mentioned files.

Can somebody give me some clues on next steps I can try at home tonight. Much appreciated!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
Yeah, sounds like you got into recovery properly by holding volume up while powering on. But it also sounds like your CWM might have gotten overwritten. If you did get SU installed, you can use a file program like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer to look for recovery-from-boot.p in your /system directory, and rename it to recovery-from-boot.bak. then reflash CWM.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penguinpal:
smorealt rorer

Ok so a little program to browse for files. I'll load that because I'll blow it away when I redo CWM anyway.

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Yip there is it - recovery-from-boot.p in /system - so just so I understand - If I rename it now -does this mean it will not be drop-dead necessary to boot straight into CWM after I download CWM onto the phone and it reboots - because the phone won't be setup to undo the CMW anymore.

Also - am I correct that you can make backups using CWM?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
Yep, correct on both counts :) you'll see the option 'backup and restore' in CWM.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penguinpal:
Well no go on the rename - recovery-from-boot.p cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only.

I installed Total Commander and when I try and remount / as r/w with it I get re-mount error su called failed. Seems my su is not the real thing.

Will it work if I install CWM and boot straight from the download into the CWM - can I rename the file from there somehow?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
If you can get adb access in CWM, there should be a command to rename that file, i'm not sure if it would be from adb shell or not... perhaps Google it or someone else will chime in here. You would probably need to flash SU first, then try adb and type su first and see if you get # prompt.

Otherwise you can go thru the full cycle- flash CWM, boot straight into recovery, flash SU, reboot and rename the recovery file, reflash CWM. Using adb in CWM would be the more elegant way, haha.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penguinpal:
I am OK with full cycle - just explain this to me --> boot straight into recovery, flash SU,

I think I know how to boot straight into recovery -> but how do I flash SU from there?

Do I have to get the su.zip onto the phone before I boot into recovery? How do I do that?

Which reminds me of another question the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017748 thread says

Bugs:

Usb mass storage isnt working,

Is this still true? Does this mean if you install CWM you can't mount your phone as mass storage in anyway ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
Yeah, load the SU zip onto your phone before going into CWM, since usb storage might not mount. Easiest way might be just to DL the zip on the phone by going to the thread on the phone, then navigate to your downloads folder in CWM to flash it. Otherwise if you have a more recent version of Ubuntu, you might be able to access device storage thru usb to transfer the zip... or else you can do that in Windows(or Mac maybe?).

Edit: flashing CWM won't break usb storage in general, it just doesn't seem to mount in CWM.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] penguinpal:
Great - so I downloaded the SU.zip from my phone and it is in /sdcard/Download for later. So I assume loading CWM does not erase what is in the download folder ?

And thanks for explaining that CWM just break usb mount in CWM not generally.

Much Much appreciated.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] CMNDR:
CWM shouldn't erase whats in the download folder. If it does, there's an issue there.

And why not just use MotoFail2Go to push in SU and then use RomManager from the appstore to flash CWM from the OS itself, because that fixes the rewrite issue as well and is a much simpler process?

I am trying to figure out why I got into CWM !

So it appear you have to hold the buttons down past the "you unlocked your bootloader screen" to get into CWM? I suspect I let go a that moment before and then it booted "normally". Is this possible?
