[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
stock is definitely good.

I just like the options and other features you get in other roms. Like the ability to change the colour of navbar/statusbar.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
If you have to ask this question then no, you probably haven't got sufficient reason to root. I would have been perfectly happy on stock but I'm far more happy with PA, it gives so much more freedom. I've made the nav bar shorter, the quick toggles the notification tray better, set certain apps to open in expanded desktop mode by default and installed an adblock. For me, that's enough reason to root and ROM the phone. Using my friend's stock N4 feels weird in comparison (especially true about the nav bar).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exadeci:
I flashed my galaxy s near a thousand times in 2 years and around 50 times with my nexus 4 with no brick/breaking it.

The feature I love the most about root is using AdAway https://code.google.com/p/ad-away/ so I have no ads on my apps therefore no battery drain (http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2012/03/20/technology-free-apps-ads-battery.html) or annoying ads.

And you can root your phone without flashing a new rom but new rom gets you better performances and cool improvements like thoses (for more information about the changes you can find most answers on google :):
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreseansr:
I like to customize too but I really don't want to break my phone, not that I'm not good with technology and stuff but taking the risk is what's stopping me, I don't wanna break it by a mistake.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Its actually pretty difficult to brick a nexus device, and the unlocking/flashing recovery procedure is extremely easy.

Theres very little risk. If you can read instructions you will be fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Stock is great but this phone, like any Android phone IMO needs root for full potential.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Besimbego:
stock is great and tons of people will be more than fulfilled and happy with just stock, but rooting gives you full control like all the root apps, ROMs, Kernels, Nandroid backup, and at anytime you can easily switch back to stock. Very easy to root a Nexus device too
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0ok1ynb0i:
I was very happy with stock. But the temptation and the curiosity ended up forcing me to root. As long as you do your homework by reading forums and also using youtube as a guidance, your good.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushing:
my two cents... you wont break it from rooting it. you have a much better chance of dropping it and that will or at least could.

my nexus, my love was in my hand and I tripped real good on a stump in a parking lot at night, I know what is a stump doing there? and it went flying face first onto the concrete and not a scratch. however there was a very tiny chip on the edge of the glass but you cant see it unless you look right at it for a second.

anyway these devices are great. I want a 16 cored nexus next Im waiting to root that and OC it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvin182:
yes man! it worths it a lot! you mustnt have fear! our nexus can restore easily.

if you dont feel you to do it now , look for tutorials on youtube about it , for example wugfresh it's highly recommended.

just be careful at the moment you flash a kernel or something different it must be from Nexus 4 ALWAYS .

dont mistake with galaxy nexus, nexus s etc.

Jailbreaking uses exploits to install unofficial system software on an ios device, which Apple patches with each update. We aren't exploiting anything here, so the process doesn't change across os version or device.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] apexcell:
Honestly, it probably doesn't matter too much if you're using it for picture/video storage. With large file sequential read/write, any of the faster class cards will do.

If you're doing more than that (for programs and such), you want to ideally look for their 4k random read/writes. The Samsung Pro series micro SDHC and SDXC cards are probably the fastest short of the relatively small Sandisk Extreme Pro (only available in 8 or 16gb) cards.

I use sandisk ultra 64gb hdxc class 10 that was on my s3, then note 2, and now it's in my s4. The only issue I had in the beginning was trying to format it to work with the s3. It was a windows XP/7 issue with formatting cards so I had to use this method. You may have to do this with any 64gb cards you buy in particular if you are going to use custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. So far so good on the card.

I also have a samsung although its only 32gb class 10 and have no issue with. Either brands I think you will be fine.

[HTC One X+] Ranomez:
Hi, sorry if this has allready been asked but I couldn't find it, so I would like to know what is the best capacitive stylus to be used with this phone, I would like one with a slim tip so I can write more natural with the big tip iphone stylus types, and I am asking what is the best stylus, or at least in your opinion so don't come here just to say things like "you should not use a stylus with your phone" and "there is no need of such a thing" cause I know I need one and I know why I need one, so if you just want to tell me I don't need one just don't even answer, thank you for any good answer and sorry for makeing this post look like I am angry, but now 3 days I made such a thread on an other forum and I only got answers that I don't need one and even after I sayd why I need one I keept geting those kinds of answers so in the end I asked for the thread to be closed because i got over 10 pages of answers and all of them telling me that I don't need one, but no one can know what I need, so really I don't want to get such answers (again).
[HTC One X+] o_O:
Unfortunately, there's no thin-tipped stylus that will work on our screens. The way the capacitive screen detects a touch is when a certain area of the screen is touched, so if you're using a thin device to contact, Android won't register it as a touch. That's why all the styluses you see on the market are big, fat, rounded things; they need enough surface area to mimic a finger touch.

Edit: I should clarify, by thin-tipped I mean pen-like. You might be able to find something with a tip around 4-5mm that will work.
[HTC One X+] Ranomez:
Thank you, I have allmostly decided what to buy (a-case or wacom bamboo) because I can't find any adonit jot stylus for sale (even second hand) in my country (I would have bought the adonit jot touch one) but now my other question would be: Is there any app I can download that can set gestures and I can put a shortcut to the activate/deactivate service activity in the aokp custom toggle, I would like to use gestures (others than the one I allready use on LMT) only when I use my stylus and as there is no way for the phone to detect if it's a stylus or a hand that touches it I would be satisfied with just having to click a toggle in my statusbar when I start using my stylus and when I stop, also is there any app that can make it so that wehn it's service is running it would make the phone only register one touch point and ignore all other points where the screen is touched and only detecting that one touch, also again thank you to anyone that gives me an answer?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] stiffi2011:
Hello,

I am having issues with aspect Ratios for certain apps. One is NBA Jam. I'll admit Its not available in the Play Store, probably for this reason.

However, I found another Directly from the Play Store, Deer Hunter Challenge. When you load it up on the One, everything is shrunk down, and some of the onscreen buttons are not visible on the screen.

Is there anyway to force the One to upscale/downscale an app to fit the screen?

So i modified some sound files in hopes to get a louder sound all around and i believe that i have done it successfully however i need other people to confirm that they can tell a difference because i could be just going crazy and if it is indeed working i will make a flashable zip to make this easier

All you have to do is sideload the files from the zip into the /system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder overwriting the current files and it should work there is very little risk in this but as always make sure you do a backup and I'm not responsible if you brick anything.

A side note I think I have also found a way to suppress the high sound volume warning I'll test a bit and get back to this post with my findings

You can do that but if you have never done that before you will probably screw something up. It's easier to just buy a cheap micro SD card.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I added question marks because I've often read task killers make things worse.

I'm frustrated because if I add up the sum of running apps and add 200 mb for system it only comes to about 500 mb yet I seldom have more than 90 mb free ram.

It is annoying that apps I use for minutes at a time like amazon, best buy, sports center actually run 24/7. I do use these apps so I hate to freeze them yet they are just wasting ram most of the time. Then there must be about 400 mb worth of apps running in the background that I can't even see.

So my questions include:

Is there an app that will monitor ALL the apps actually running and allow me to choose some I want to allow to run all the time and others I want killed as soon as I exit from them?

if there is such an app does it do more harm than good somehow? Again I have read task killers just mess up the rom although I don't know why.

I am not rooted so running stock jb with nova launcher.

suggestions?

thanks!
