Post#2-How to do it?:

1.Make sure your phone is rooted.

2.Install a root explorer like es file explorer,aico file explorer.etc.

3.Go to the root of your internal memory.

4.Open System\build.prop with text editor

5.Add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" without the quotes and save it,then exit.

6.Reboot and rejoice!:D

Easier way:

Flashable zip:https://www.dropbox.com/s/i87zub1mb8i5aj5/ICS Navbar.zip

[HTC Desire C] ExonakiDev:
Yes!!

YES IT SHOULD work on revolutionmod rom please try it and tell me.And please click on thanks if i helped you........I too was looking for this many days.....i found it in build.prop of many devices that have onscreen buttons..And if you want to revert back then delete the line save it and reboot........:good:
[HTC Desire C] ExonakiDev:
Do not try the second way.....

Cheers,:beer:

ExonakiDev
[HTC Desire C] noahvt:
The second way doesn't work i tried it in the past! :(

The first way doesn't work either! i might did something wrong do! where do you add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" because i added it on the botom of build.prop
[HTC Desire C] ExonakiDev:
First if all mount file explorer as r/w then do the following:

Open build.prop and then create a new line where LCD density is and paste the code.do u understand?

It worked for my fellow friend-codexblack and several people on the internet if it doesn't pm me.I will definitely help u....:thumbup:

[HTC Desire C] <CyberAnarchy>:
I put it at bottom of build.prop man, and its root explorer, file explorer is different(at least the one I have is)

And I think you should tell them to disable the capacitive buttons too or it looks weird.

@Einstein.frat I don't understand what you mean, can you explain

[Nexus 4 General] rpaloalto:
Ok, So I loved my nexus 4. I loved it so much I even bought a second one just to have for the hell of it. The last 5 monthes I have been boasting to friends and family how great this $349 phone was. That was until this morning.

I was on my back underneath my Jeep trying to hunt down a small coolant leak. The nexus sliped out of my pocket and landed on the driveway.

Since I was on my back. The distance from my front pant pocket, to the ground. Cant be any more then 5 inches. I heard it fall and I cringed. I knew for sure it was going to at least put a small scratch or scuff in my beloved phone. I picked it up to examine the damage and to my surprise the whole back was cracked.

Seriously how the hell can that have happend from such a low fall? What the hell google!

So I called google hoping they might take it in as a warranty fix. Well I got the no sorry we cant help answer I knew was coming.

Next I was on the phone with LG. LG also said no. If it's cracked it's not covered. However they will fix it for a fee. I wont know how much until they see it first.

So now I'm using my other nexus 4. However I'm not so stoked about using the nexus 4 anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] drmclove69:
Re: Back Cracked 5 inch fall WTF!

Because YOU dropped your phone knowing its glass and will obviously be delicate you now hate the N4? Makes perfect sense...take all your rage out on the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] rpaloalto:
Hey come on now! A cell phone should not break from falling 5 inches.
[Nexus 4 General] forbore:
Get a new back on eBay and replace it yourself. Also, stop complaining; it's made of glass, not unobtainium.
[Nexus 4 General] phitch:
This is inaccurate and you need to tell the truth about how it fell and how far not make up stories. First, your front pockets should be generally in the front, meaning if the phone did fall out of your pocket, it would have slid down your leg, around the curve of your thigh and landed most likely on the side. Second, we see a clear point of impact on this crack which is done by a focused blow to one area not a blow over the entire phone.

You clearly hit this against something.
[Nexus 4 General] neuromix:
Thaanks for the laugh
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Alright Sherlock coming out of nowhere calling people liars ...

His scenario makes perfect sense. Driveways are usually not flat surfaces so it could easily have hit a little pebble or micro bump on the driveway and caused such a crack.

I dropped mine on asphalt and it looks like someone tried to hammer a nail into the glass.

Guys that work on their own jeeps don't make sh*t up like this. haha. '79 CJ7 owner.
[Nexus 4 General] chancy319:
WHAT?!?! You mean a phone made with a glass back breaks on impact??? I'm shocked. I thought rainbows and unicorns would come out.
[Nexus 4 General] phitch:
You dropped your phone on your driveway from 5 inches too? He also never said where he was, if he is under his jeep he is probably in his garage like normal people. I am not coming out of nowhere, the story doesn't make a lick of sense no matter how you add it up. How did a guy who is working on his jeep have his phone slip out of his front pocket? What sort of jeep owner wears super baggy pants? Most blue jeans have tight enough pockets that this isn't an issue. But hey, feel free to believe what you want.
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
With no case the N4 is darn slippery and slipping out of any pocket is quite plausible.

I have no stance on the matter for the record.
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Concrete garage floors are not perfectly flat surfaces either especially when they tend not to be entirely clean and free of debris.

You are completely talking out of your ass and making no sense. Quit while you're waaay behind.

The height from which I dropped my phone is irrelevant, just providing some data on a phone falling on a surface perceived to be flat resulting in a crack that looks like it was caused by a single point impact. I thought that was clear.

[Nexus 4 General] rubiconjp:
I also had phone falling out of my pocket while on my back working on my jeep ('03 TJ Rubicon). He's right, Jeep guys don't make up ****.

I moved quite a bit working on my back (such as torqing suspension bolts etc.) And thing do fall out like keys and phone.
[Nexus 4 General] pak-stars:
i thought these phones were concrete proof..
[Nexus 4 General] mrstromboli:
You have made more assumptions in your posts than a lawyer defending someone in a he said she said case... Not everyone has a garage. Not all jeep owners wear jeans everyday. I have had my phone slip out of my pocket plenty of times while I was laying down. You my friend should stop making accusations over stupid assumptions.

To the op I honestly think you are to blame for buying a phone made of glass and not getting a case... Fix it yourself like the other person said. Just watch a YouTube video of how to do it. And buy a case for your phone...
[Nexus 4 General] CADude:
That's what you get for buying a glass-backed phone. Shoulda waited for the Nexus coming this Fall.
[Nexus 4 General] gharrrrrr:
Sorry that happened. It is a glass front and back device though. Glass isn't exactly the most sturdy material. I must be one of the lucky ones. I've dropped mine twice now with no case on (I like em naked) and had no damage. Once from about 3 feet up down onto hard tile.

Also tl;dr at OP

U bought a phone knowing it's glass, and not using a case, your fault

Nobody should call OP a liar...

Op, sorry for the misfortune! I'd die if my phone cracked :sob: but I also have 2 full protection dual layer cases, a bumper, and screen protectors on frint/back. Take precautions with any piece of glass regardless if it's your phone or a 10ft pane. :P

Bumper case I can't stress that enough.. Dropped my phone so many times 4 feet high no damage to the phone except the bumper. If you're buying a 400$ phone wouldn't you want to invest in a case or bumper ?
[Nexus 4 General] CADude:
400 bucks is not a lot of money...
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
Thanked you by misstake, but 400 bucks is still quite a lot of money for most people. Saw a drop test on YouTube and if the device lands on a corner you have a chance of beeing lucky, if the device lands flat on the front- or backside usualy that part breaks.
[Nexus 4 General] Jeremy:
Poor OP getting slammed for his misery. Grow up guys, he's merely sharing his story.
[Nexus 4 General] jusada:
I'm afraid people with iphones have been dealing with this for ages, glass and falls don't go together. The best answer is a case. I know it ruins the look but its a bit like a condom, you don't want to but you know you should. If it makes you feel any better I have a friend on his 4th s3 screen, and guess what! He broke it the first day he got it back! Least yours is just the back.
[Nexus 4 General] CADude:
If you have a strong work ethic, study something that is both math-related and practical or take up a specialized trade that makes you vital to the economy, 400 dollars is something you can toss out your window anytime.

I'm sick of these people saying that a device like the Nexus 4 is too expensive. Those are the same people that don't want to work hard, don't want to study something challenging, don't see the importance of some jobs over others and typically spend more time playing with phones than working hard or honing their skills.
[Nexus 4 General] jusada:
To be fair I wouldn't want to have to buy a new one weekly but yes, I'd rather that than replacing an s3 or HTC one xl. There a fantastic price.
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
Not talking about people with a regular job, also students and much young folks here on XDA. For them 400 dollar is still a lot of money. Btw the Nexus 4 16GB costs 395 euro in Germany where i bought it, about 506 US dollar. I don`t think the price is too high, Samsung S4 pre-order price is 699 euro (895 US Dollar).

At least he has money to throw away to have a spare.

In terms of money.

Good for you aholes that think $400 is nothing. I work hard for my money and if you thick $400 is not a lot of money than you must have it easy all your life. Not everyone has it so easy.

[Nexus 4 General] fone_fanatic:
It's LG that manufacturers the phone, not google. But they did work closely on it together. I think the blame should be put on whoever decided to give it a glass back. We all saw how well that faired out with the iphone 4 and 4s!

Other posts have stated that LG charges around $140 to replace the glass. But I can't remember if that was for the front glass digitizer or rear.
[Nexus 4 General] nbeebe24:
Get a case for when you're not actively on your phone. I've dropped my phone a bunch of times but thankfully had a case on. I've learned from past experience that these things are just to delicate to use ceaseless.
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
LOL. Are you ****i ng serious!?! Don't blame the manufacturers or phone designers. Blame yourself for making the poor decision on purchasing a product that is made of materials that's KNOWN to break! Big babies I swear to ****i ng god.

There's a motto to this story, with different people underneath their Jeeps dropping their phone:

DON'T BUY A JEEP!
[Nexus 4 General] lowandbehold:
First of all, no one said the Nexus 4 was too expensive. Second, $400 is half of a mortgage payment. Third, the unemployment rate of college graduates is the highest it has ever been. Fourth, math related and practical and you will always have money? Tell that to the computer engineers that are getting laid off because of the economy. Fifth, truthfully, you are obviously a straight up douchebag...
[Nexus 4 General] Semantics:
This has to be one of the most presumptuous, and ridiculous things I've ever read on any forum in over 15 years of reading opinions on the internet.

In the infamous words of Oblaski:

what you've just said*... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul...

So...you had enough money to buy two Nexus 4, but not enough money to buy cases? You can't really complain since you were pretty much asking for that to happen. :/
[Nexus 4 General] Erazo1986:
All these threads about cracked backs and screens are cracking me up inside.

For God's sake why not have a case for such a fragile phone?? I mean if you can buy two of them, you can buy a case.. No pity here.
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
I'm not surprised at the value. I mean, 400 dollars is well worth it for this phone and all, but a second one *just for the hell of it*? I like to say, even as a billionaire, I can call you crazy if you, let's say, buy an ordinary piece of paper at a dollar a page. I don't think there's ever a time you can have where you should be "tossing" money out the window. Then again, I'm sure a lot of wealthy people are where they are because they don't have that mentality.

The original 400 he spent on the first Nexus was understandable. The second 400, he pretty much threw away, since I don't see the point of the second Nexus. I mean, even if Nexus 4's were 50 bucks a pop, I'd made the same point. It's not really about the number here, it's the fact that he spent 400 *for no reason*. Granted, he might have a secondary SIM card, or might be using the other as his office or personal phone, but we don't know any of that.

Not sure if you're objecting to other people in general here, but I'm assuming part of it's me since I made the original point.
[Nexus 4 General] uploder:
everyone PLEASE take note. This phone is not magical. Yes even a drop from that height with just the right angle can damage your phone. if running your phone naked without a case is that damn important to you accept the fact that one day you will drop it and it might shatter. I dont feel sorry for you or anyone else that damaged their phone because they didnt like having a case on it. Ive dropped my phone 3 times so far from above waist level and guess what? yep you guessed it no damage because I had a case on the freaking thing!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nexus 4 General] patstock11:
Its $64 to have the back glass fixed from LG...have it fixed..buy a bumper...call it a day...ask me how I know
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
That seems reasonable. OEM replacement back covers are going for around $50 on ebay if you want to fix it yourself.

Screen/digitizer replacements are going for around $100 on ebay, and I think LG charges around $160.

If you've broken your screen and don't want to fix it yourself, or if you have a broken screen and broken back, then it's probably better to sell the broken N4 on ebay for around $180, the going rate, and then just buy a new one.
[Nexus 4 General] ingenious247:
For anyone who thinks $400 is a lot of money, honestly.. you probably shouldn't even own a smart phone. One little thing ever goes wrong with your car/truck and it's typically $500 minimum.. Just saying.
[Nexus 4 General] subxero123:
This, sick of people buying things they can barely afford

Should've gotten an older phone if u can't afford this, its like my idiot neighbor buying a BMW, yet he can't even maintain it.

Don't buy it if u can't afford it, simple as that
[Nexus 4 General] I'mDan2:
Mine cracked around speaker - no drop.

I believe it was being in my back pocket that did it. I was angry at first as I've always carried phones that way with no problems. Didn't want to spend the money to repair it. Bought a DBrand leather skin. Fits perfectly. Phone looks better than before. "Repaired" for less than the cost of a lunch. Done. But damn, that phone is fragile.
[Nexus 4 General] CADude:
Sounds like you're trying to justify your view of 400 dollars being a lot of money with emotional logic. Not everybody shares your misfortune, and misfortune has nothing to do with thinking 400 dollars is a lot of money. If you are a grown adult who doesn't depend on parents and still can't afford to spend 400 dollars at a moments notice, you shouldn't be buying smartphones, period.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

I'm not saying that its OK to waste money, I'm not saying that anybody should throw 400 dollars out the window or that the OP is justified in buying another phone just for the hell of it, I'm just saying that if somebody here thinks that 400 dollars is a lot of money and they are not a kid whose parents still pay for things, they should not be buying smartphones at all and spend less time on this forum and more time doing something that will make them financially stable.
