[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakdillard:
Hi. There are many things to argue here is this post but I will try to help to get you some information to get you on the right track. First off there are two versions if you will of Android, one being "AOSP" or the "Android Open Source Project" and "Google Android". Google Android is what shipped with your device, and has Google owned proprietary in it that is closed sourced, most of the development done in a Nexus forum will come from using AOSP Android. Its the same Android that ships with your device but it does not contain any of Google's proprietary and its completely open-source, however some of the coding needed for a specific devices hardware is not open-source, there's more I can go into on that but I'll stop in short by saying the Nexus4 is probably one of the best devices to be working on platform level coding since all of the binaries needed are properly licensed and most of the hardware coding is open-source. So now that's out of the way. Most of the roms here are forks of AOSP with some being forked from AOKP, CyanogenMod and PA, in order for a developer to build a Nexus4 rom they have to use the provided hardware binaries in combination to the software coding to produce said roms, so ALL of the roms here are built directly for this device. Where confusion come in at is that some of the developers do not have a Nexus4 and build based of the availability of someone being a guinea pig. Also you will have to know whats in you device, such words as "krait optimizations" should not be a hook to get you to try a rom nor should a screen shot since most of the roms look stock besides the few that are themed, ok if they're themed they probably should have a pic, but seriously know your hardware so that you are not just letting a buzzword give you a placebo effect, and remember a roms OP most times doesn't do any justice for the experience you will have from that rom so its best to just try what ever sounds interesting blindly...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuu~:
you can't really optimize a rom for a specific device.

they are nearly the same for all devices, and there is no point in optimizing it for specific hardware.

what you can optimize is the kernel, the part that contains the device specific drivers and basically controls the hardware. these are already built and optimized for the nexus 4.

but that doesn't mean that fixes and improvements for other devices have negative effects on the nexus 4.

also, device specific changes in changelogs are mostly kernel related.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Dude, first try and test a rom before you form and vent your opinion based on nothing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheeWolf:
Thank you everyone for the explanations.

As I have said, I have already flashed many ROMs, I am not basing my opinion on nothing. I have not opened this thread is not to find out "what is the best ROM" - more than a year of messing with Android and being here in XDA got me understanding there is no such thing, no best ROM. The purpose of this thread is get me some answers, to see if what I am saying is even true.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negroplasty:
If Cyanogenmod is the same for every device then riddle me this:

Why is there a different .zip for each device?

You are not going to find a better all around ROM than CM dude. In CM each device has its own tree with many device specific commits and custom changes. You sound very ill-informed asking the questions you are asking; I am surprised you haven't received a lot more flame for it.

[One (M7) General] PCServe:
Hey guys,

Today I took both, my one year old HTC One X and my new HTC One for a walk through town and I wanted to show you my photos.

The first picture is always from the One, the second one is from the One with the Auto Enhance feature and the third one is from the One X.

Taking a photo of the TV makes the picture flickering. I am not sure what's the reason for this, as it doesn't happen with the One X's camera. It also doesnt happen with my computer screen, just with the plasma TV.

The following pictures are taken pretty much in the same light conditions, however I wanted to show them all to you

In low light conditions the One seems to be ahead of the One X, at least if it's not completely dark ...

The following two pictures are taken at night time and to be honest I am very disappointed in the One:

I think even with my DSLR it would be hard to get a good photo in this light, but in my opinion the One X's photo is better than the One's photo.

All settings are standard with both phones. Maybe there are some settings to improve the camera, but it won't make a huge difference.

Looking forward to your feedback!
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Thanks! finally versus the One X :)

yes as expected the One X had a great camera (2x the detail) its only in low light that the One beats it

as for the settings its discussed greatly in the photo thread

The One images can be washed out due to the high brightness levels in them and they seem to improve greatly once auto enhanced

check the auto enhance post here

as well as tweaking the camera settings ofcourse (exposure, contrast, sharpness etc)

I also suggest reducing the sharpness to -1, as its too aggressive by default

by the way when zoomed out, i'm finding your HTC One pictures better
[One (M7) General] Silellak:
Great comparison! Thanks!

In your opinion, which of the phones took "truer to life" pictures? We can tell that the colors between the One and the One X are different - it seems like the One X is adding a blue-ish hue to everything - but without seeing the original scene, it's hard for anyone but you to say which are better.

Also, it would be cool if, as the poster above me said, you could run HTC's enhance function on the One pictures and add those to the comparison :D
[One (M7) General] muayyadf1:
I find the htc one camera better. More details and less noise. Look at the walls, trees, and streets.

HTC One X has better color production. This might be fixed soon with the One. I remmember One X had a camera fix also.
[One (M7) General] Silellak:
Yeah, I agree about the detail to noise ratio. I prefer that over more megapixels.

Stupid phone just needs to get a US release date...
[One (M7) General] PCServe:
The pictures of the HTC One are "truer to life", but I don't really like the night photos of the One, as they are more noisy than the One X photos, aren't they?

As requested, I have added pictures of the auto enhance feature to the first post :)
[One (M7) General] Silellak:
Awesome, thanks! "Auto enhance" seems to add to some pictures, and detract from others.

I think the One is less noisy than the One X during night shots taken with auto enhance, at least...but I'm not really an expert :)
[One (M7) General] PCServe:
The One X has an auto enhance feature as well, didn't try that though, and I think adding these pictures would make this thread a bit too confusing.
[One (M7) General] Silellak:
I was under the impression that the One X was already auto-enhancing pictures by default, but maybe I'm mistaken. I'm running CM10 on my One X at the moment so I can't check.
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Gosh terrible quality from one.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
No auto enhance is in gallery as well on the one x, but some customs mods added it to the camera
[One (M7) General] katamari201:
I didn't even like the camera on the One X when I owned it. This is making it even easier. The HTC One is even more like an oil painiting than the One X. None of the pictures look natural looking. The HTC One has an even more processed look than the One X, with higher contrast and sharpening and noise reduction. What is an oil painting? Look at the examples here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_painting

Looks like an HTC image doesn't it? I want natural and realistic pictures, not instagram oil painting filter. HTC can't seem to figure that out, nor even allow a RAW image for those who hate the oil painting look. Even third party cameras only get piped the imagechip processed image.

The HTc One camera is even worse than the One X camera and even more unnatural looking. The only improvement is in pitch black lighting, which look like crap regardless and people seldom take pictures in pitch black. The overcast and indoor shots which the HTC One is suppose to be better at are actually worse than the One X. So it is all around even worse than last year's camera.
[One (M7) General] bobby_sucker:
shame on new child of High Tech Computers!!!:D
[One (M7) General] gabit23:
Thank you. Finally the review I was waiting for.

I really love my one x camera and I wasn't sure about the one's performance outdoors with good light, after reading almost every review of the one's camera.

The main concern was the new 4 mp (ultrapixels) sensor that should capture less detail than 8 mp on the one x.

After reading this review I am convinced that the larger pixels (ultrapixels) compensate the move from 8mp on the one x/DNA to 4 ultrapixels on the htc one and the htc one captures the same details as the htc one x. For example when zooming at the 7th row pictures the lincese plates of the 4 first cars, both on the htc one and one x are readable.I don't think any other 4mp sensor would capture this detail.

My conclusion for this test:

Outdoors good light: Tie

Outdoors low light: htc one wins, although the htc one x's picture on the last row was better.

Indoors low light: htc one wins.

Video (not on this test): The video on the htc one is two steps forward from the htc one x and the best on every smartphone. period. The OIS stabilizes the video at low light and the dual membrane microphones make every concert a joy to the ears, not like the crappy microphones on the one x or every other smartphone.

Example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6UIf3qqF4s

Now that I am convinced that the htc one is better than my one x in every aspect I am really waiting to have it in my hands.
[One (M7) General] PCServe:
The 4 MP camera was my main concern before buying the phone and I didn't like the idea of taking a step back compared to the 8 MP camera of my One X (and even 5 MP on the HTC Desire I've had before that).

After testing the ultra pixel camera for a few days now, I have to admit, that I am quite impressed with the 4 MP ultra pixel cam and I won't miss the One X's camera at all.

If I want to take some serious pictures, I will always use my DSLR, however for snapshots and the everyday use for Facebook and Instagram, the One will be perfect and better than any phone I have ever had.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
Also at least one of your picture has the right side blur, guess OIS sometimes get it wrong...
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
You can definitely tell the daytime pics look better on the One, least the colors are more natural to me.

But, for whatever reason all the pics look bad to me. They are all blurry for some reason. Anyone else having that issue or is it just me, lol!

[One (M7) General] lilvfr400boy:
I too have both one x and one, the one takes much much better photos overall, after trying it in every light and with the sun directly shining on the lense etc the one camera is impressive, and I do not miss my one x camera at all
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
That's an issue with OIS not resetting. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
if u have it blurry all the time it might be a defect

Reportedly, the updated software provides significant improvement to photo quality.

[One (M7) General] Hoffmanns:
For good light conditions is limiting only 4MP resolution, HTC one has not some extra detail in pictures, but in dark or night is great in compare with other smartphones. Only NOKIA 920 and higher takes better night photos :)

Hello, i just wanna know, what you guys thinks are the best case for Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
I have tried flip cases from Poetic and PDair, TPU cases from Ditztronic and Cruzerlite, and the feather from Incipio. Frankly all left me a little cold based on the user experience of the phone with case installed. The only one that has actually improved that experience for me is the OEM bumper. The floating buttons in the bumper actually make button pressing more positive, and the extended lip, front and back, make it much less prone to drops.

If you're looking for full coverage however, I am not sure what to recommend, but the Cruzerlite came in a very distant second of the cases that I tried.

Good luck with whatever you decide on.

Ringke fusion adds so much of bulk to the phone. People buy it for its clear back, but its back never remains clear. It catches finger prints, dust gets inside, there are wet spots formed. I see no reason getting transparent back case when it never remains transparent practically.
