[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3452239:
First off, I don't want this to turn into a "best rom" "best phone" type thread.

My HTC One X recently bit the dust, and a nexus 4 is my only option. (besides sending it in for repairs at $200, and when I paid $100 for the HOX, why not just shell out another $50 for the N4?) I was planning on buying a Nexus 4 later down the road, or a Nexus device at the next generation. Unfortunately, the time has come, a little too soon for my liking. Nonetheless, I think I will be happy with the Nexus.

Anyways, the only phones I have used have hardware buttons.. I have tried the software (navigation keys) on AOKP.

I was wondering, what are they like? Will I have a hard time getting used to them.. or do they just feel right?

If any of you have ever held an HTC One X, it feels a little weird to operate with one hand.

How does the phone feel when holding it? Is it easy to grip, or a little bulky?

Again.. Just a few simple questions, hopefully you guys understand.. We are a little unforgiving in the HOX forums towards people that ask questions about best ROMs or talk about other phones, or ask something that has been stickied, etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resynx:
You will absolutely love the software buttons^^ So much better than hardware buttons imo. You can configure them and do anything you want with them (if on a custom ROM of course)! And to me the Nexus feels great in the hand!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3452239:
Of course on an HTC device I would naturally run aosp ROMs. But since nexus is already aosp... Might run that for a few weeks and then look at ROMs or dev my own :)

If I have any other questions I'll bump this thread
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercath:
Its a matter of opinion. I personally dislike software keys, they take up valuable screen real estate. You can also set hardware keys to do whatever you want (much like the Viper rom for the One X). Why waste a portion of your screen on buttons?

That being said its still a great phone. Although it lacks the storage capacity, capacitive keys and LTE of my Optimus G...

I've also had the One X, and they're similar in terms of form factor and feel in the hand.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 100eyes:
Why aren't you using LTE on N4 when you're in Canada?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_viado:
i too came from a HOX and dont regret it one bit. N4 definitely feels more hefty than the HOX but only because of the materials used as oppsed to the plastic used on the hox, also in my opinion n4 feels better in hand than the hox, theres not too much of a weight difference overall is just a wayyyy better more premium feel of the n4 comparing it to HOX, not to say HOX wasnt premium, N4 is just above it.

and to your question on onscreen vs soft keys question.To be honest i never wanted to turn on the on screen keys on roms i ran with HOX, defeated the whole purpose of having the soft keys. transitioning to on screen keys didnt take much effort at all in fact i actually love it and prefer it over the soft keys of the HOX. To me it just seems to flow better with the Jellybean OS and overall look of stock android.

All is just opinion though but id definitely buy the n4 again no regrets
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyondroid:
I came from a One XL with no regrets.

I find the on screen buttons to be a lot more responsive than the capacitive buttons on any phone i've used before, including the One X. And i actually prefer that they take up screen real estate since they make the usable part of the screen more or less 4.5" which is far more comfortable than a full 4.7" screen. Also, the extra empty space below the on screen keys means the keys are higher up and easier to reach, as opposed to the One X keys which are waaay at the bottom of the phone and tough to get to with my thumb.

Maybe its just me, but i always felt the One X was really awkward to hold. It was never really mentioned much in reviews before i bought it. The screen bezel was really thick, and on top of the weird angled frame on the sides, it made it difficult, if not uncomfortable to hold, for me at least. The N4 is about the same width, but the grippy flat sides make it a lot easier to hold. Not the most comfortable phone i've held in my hand, but a big improvement over the One X.

The only thing i miss from the One X is the better screen. It had better viewing angles, and more vibrant colours. Pretty obvious when you hold them side by side, but you get accustomed to the N4 screen after a while. The One X camera also captured more detail and took less noisy photos, but i don't miss the camera much since it always seem to get the exposure wrong, faces always looked orange when taken indoors.

The performance difference is pretty huge, especially with multitasking, even compared to AOKP and CM10 on the HOX.

All in all, its a much easier phone to handle.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
My last 2 phones where HTC and what I did to adjust was set my navbar much like my HTC devices.

Home. Menu. Back. Search

It made the change from my doubleshot really easy. At first I was SO lost using nav keys and everything but after an hour I don't think I could use anything other than full touch.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3452239:
Thats what worried me. I love the colors of the screen and the camera. (I use cm10.1, which apparently doesn't have the camera quality of sense, but I prefer it anyway.) If the camera on n4 compares to aosp ROMs for the hox, then I'm in the clear. I don't have any option though as my hox is in shambles ;) really looking forward to the n4 though
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pikezer1337:
So I have CWM and I was going to flash AOKP, and the creator had said to wipe data, wipe cache etc, and to format the system. So I did that and now I hold all of my buttons down to enter CWM, and it initally brings up the text, "Samsung" and at the top it says it's booting into CWM, but then it vibrates and it goes blank then says Samsung again and then doesn't do anything. I also can see when it is plugged in as the battery comes up, but then disappears after a bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elvin9:
your phone not brick --- do exactly what you are doing but when you see "Samsung" and at the top it says it's booting into CWM "unhold the power button but still holding the vol up and home on until bring the CWM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
...you were IN cwm when you did the wipe, bro. hold down volume up + home + power. when the phone vibrates, let go of the power button. when you see the blue wording on the top left corner, let go of vol up and home. after samsung splash screen you should be in recovery (cwm)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] erulsza:
Yeah, same thing happens here, u can't get into recovery if u has full wipe, after u full wipe and cache etc. u don't need to get turn off and boot to recovery,, just flash the rom after full wipe. ;) And now u need to repair it or reflash older kernel and rom, root and flash new kernel and do what I says and install new rom and reboot, yeah it all done

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjs2430:
Hi all,

I know how to set a profile of a location and have my phone compose a text when I arrive there. However, I only want this to happen if I have arrived at location B after leaving location A. Basically, its so when I leave my parents house and arrive back at my college dorm I want it to auto send a text but I do not want it to send the text every time I arrive at my dorm.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
This is more complex, so will require a more complex solution.

I'm thinking of setting up several user variables. You could set a variable every time you leave your parents' house, and set another variable every time you arrive at your dorm. Then another process which will send the SMS, but only if both variables are set properly. This might require a timer which would reset the 1st variable if you haven't arrived to the dorm within some amount of time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjs2430:
Thanks man, I'll have to play around with creating my own variables.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogredeschnique:
Profile 1 --> If connect to work wifi --> task 1: send text; task 2: turn off profile 1.

Profile 2 --> if connect to home wifi --> Task 3: turn on Profile 1.

Works perfectly. Probably more refined methods, but for my purposes I would consider this to be elegant enough.

MIUI-Life v5

// Samsung Exhibit II

// GingerBread

Attention

Always do a backup before flashing, responsibility lies with the operator of the device ultimately

Features

Ported from Galaxy Ace, It's a somewhat modded MIUI Gingerbread rom to look & feel more consistent with MIUI v5

The MIUI Gingerbread home is outdated and awful, download MiHome from Market to get the v5 Gingerbread one

Also look into the ICS Keyboard here

Known Issues

- USB connected notification always on

- None

Instructions

Do a full wipe and install via the usual method in CWM or touch recovery, whichever you use

Download

MIUI 2.4.20

Google Apps

Huge Ups to Tim for CM7!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Dvarl:
Ok did some testing to Gb MIUI. Here are some issues. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT try to log into your Google account through setup, IT WILL NOT WORK! Not with data or wifi. You need to sign in through settings, accounts and sync. Second is the capacitive backlights will not come on unless you tap the brightness toggle. They stay on till the screen is off, then same deal. There is an app on the market to do this automatically, its called Soft Buttons Light. Thirdly same issues as CM7 Usb Icon stays on, and external sd mounts to emmc. So no swap sd! Other than those minor issues the Rom runs smooth and things seem to be working. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tquetski:
Broken LED lights is FW related, I will decompile this later, Lewa shares the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tquetski:
LED light issue should be solved (thx Tim!) and speed and battery tweaks have been applied, everything should for real work so I'm going to go ahead and call this finished until CM7 gets updates (If ever)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Leeblitz:
I'm on bootloop. reboot but still the same..

do i need to flash gaaps for it to boot?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tquetski:
Believe so, check OP, updated version
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] sean82007:
Soo

So boot looping with or without the gapps. Yes I flashed correctly lol I've done enough flashing in my days. Oh also wanted to add that tried it with twrp and cwm
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tquetski:
Yep, It's currently fatally broken in this build in services.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tquetski:
Bump, replaced with a port of MIUI Life V5 from the Galaxy Ace folks, this can be used as a Daily Driver and does include the native MIUI Camera that can take HD photos as well as CM7s for compatibility reasons; It's also worth noting even though MIUI v3 is older It has the most customization options so things in the status bar like brightness slider must be set to 'manual' in system settings to enable it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
To create a theme to be used over and over from rom to rom and different updates is tricky. Anytime something is changed it means the theme will have to be changed also. You can create a flash able zip of your theme. But themes don't usually carry over to different roms and updates.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Merge the zips into one file.

If you open the zips you will see a similar structure: /META-INF and /system and possibly /framework. I think on windows if you have 7zip you can open all the archive files (zips) and drag and drop the contents of the zips into just one of them. At least thats how it is in linux.

Also if each zip contains a similar file like SystemUI.apk you will have to manually merge them. Also what Thebear j koss said.

Just tried to back up the image.zip and the back up failed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexyaz:
I have tried doing that and i was able to merge two themes together but i am having issue finding the transparent stuff from and the ics blue text for kindacrapmods. what i have been doing is flash kindacrap with transparency and the blue text for notifications then i merged the applications from alexander's theme to motomoto's theme and flashed that zip over. i am trying to find a way to do all of this in one step so it would same me like 20 extra minutes after flashing a new rom update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexyaz:
I can Nand the whole system but that wont work when i want to update my rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexyaz:
the Theme mostly changes jpg files of system apps and different things in framework. i dont think it would change so much unless going from TW to AOSP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alexyaz:
Just to show you guys what the finished them looks like here is a couple of screenies. Again this is not my theme I just compiled moto Alexander and kinda crap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
This is only going to work for whatever rom you are currently using. If you switch roms or update this one you would have to re flash the theme and mods you applied. You can't just pull the theme out and apply it to anything.

all system ui's are different from rom to rom and from different updates. that's why you see so many changelogs in roms and themes and mods. framework is different thru each as well. there is no easy solution except to try swapping out system ui and framework res from the update to what you use now. there is no telling if it will work. that's why devs go thru so much testing before releasing a finished product.

check the link i posted on empty flashable templates, you may find your answer in there. i know of no easy way to combine different themes and mods you've flashed to carry over into 1 easy step. you may find a way to flash the systemui and framework res only which holds all those features in that thread. i have no idea if it will work or not though... usually changes like that have to be done in individual steps.

Another option would be zipthemer or metamorph. You can then apply your theme to about any rom.

Not a problem. And you should do a little research on the 2 options above. I have heard of them, as I use morphology themes myself, but I have yet to create my own and transferred anything over. I usually just pull apart what I can and use things.

Maybe this is obvious, but....

Obviously it depends on what your trying to save. What works for me is using your launcher (I rock Apex) to save your your desktop data. So when you flash something new, you can just hit restore and all the icons (placement and actual icon itself) go back to the way you left them. If you want to save multiple layouts, after you back up 1 theme, go to the internal storage->android->apex launcher and there you will see your backup labeled apex_data.bak. cut and paste elsewhere and now you can backup another theme. If you want to go back to an earlier theme that you backed up before, copy the .bak file back to the apex folder and your good to go.

As far as framework mods go, if you use TW roms, this page is an absolute MUST. All credit to WasabiWa83: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1929403
