Highly recommended.

At first I thought only 1 screen protector would suffice, but when I went out a lot and stuff just came in to my pocket like sand, dirt, etc, my screen got scratched (because of the sand, went to the beach), so I removed it, thank god the scratch is only on the screen protector. Now I bought 3. When I remove my screen protector, my N4 looks like it's brand new.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Roobwz:
I agree with ibarra .. Buy it to be safe

sent from my .... still waiting for my nexus..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ace42:
Every phone needs a protector and the rear needs one too to avert future damage or collisions with surfaces. Resale value is better maintained in pristine condition, this is why I hate seeing used devices looking as if they just returned from war.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Maine_Coon:
for a couple of bucks you protect the screen on the $300+ device .Absolutely, yes, sir.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Not worth it if you're a very safe person. Theres gorilla glass for a reason, but if you're not a careful person.... sure why not.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gotzaDroid:
Mine has been naked since December and the glass is fine. I do have a dent in my bezel, but I fell asleep with the phone in my hand and it dropped. A bumper would have prevented that, but no issues with the glass even with the drop.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nagi603:
If you have ever kept them with other things in your pocket, etc, then yes, it is highly recommended. If you have ever dropped any of you phones, then get a bumper or full body case as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NexusF:
I always use screen protectors and cases and I highly recommend others to do the same. It isn't worth scratching or damaging your phone in any way. Better safe than sorry, and honestly, any cheap old screen protector will do.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] immunityx:
keep factory screen protector for the back or buy a case, the front is fine if u take care of your phone and not put it in the same pocket as ys and everything else
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
Nope. Ruins the feel of the device honestly.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] traskers:
So, just a quick follow up..

I ended up purchasing a Skinomi screen protector to be safe, but after having it on for a day, I hastily removed it based solely on the look and feel.

I have been running my phone with either the official bumper or my Ringke Fusion case and no protector and everything is still beautiful!

Dear XDA-Community!

Im new here so i'd like to introduce me quickly.

Im Alex, 18 years old (at the time of this writing) and im from Austria.

Before i owned a Galaxy Ace and got our p970 some months ago.

Now to my question :)

I tried my hands on building cyanogenmod 10.1 for the p970.

i build it with the standard toolchain and it worked perfectly.

now im trying to build it with the Linaro 4.8 Toolchain, but it isnt booting and i do know its a kernel fault.

i know this because if i flash my Cyanogenmod Build, it doesnt boot, BUT if i flash it and then flash the ZeroGravitiyKernel from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2082740

it boots up perfectly.

So i would like to know, if someone had succcess with building our kernel with a Linaro Toolchain and which patches i may or may not have to apply.

i tried using the ZeroGravitiySources but still it fails to boot up after flashing.

(also i did a quick benchmark test with rom toolbox and the build with the standard toolchain gets 7.3 and with using linaro and the other kernel i get 10.2)

any help is much appreciated :)
[LG Optimus Black] rajeshmk2012:
Yes the problem is the kernel. ....it was not easy to make the kernel boot...

Use my patch from my topic...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2184519

This patch is for ICS v30c.....you can diff the patch with original files....and put the same in your kernel...

You can find original files from Nooby's git...and dowload only those specific files to see the diff......
[LG Optimus Black] Evisceration:
Thank you very much, already used it some days before and got it working, forgot to update here :D

Cherry Picked a lot of patches etc.

i just wondered, because i cloned his source and compiled without changing anything with the same toolchain as he was using and i didnt got it to boot.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickey4mice:
I've mine unlocked with "fastboot oem unlock", but I'm not able to root the phone. In fact, I think I've lost my stock recovery, I didn't check it before unlock, so I'm not even sure if the recovery had been missing before the phone was unlocked. When I try to boot into recovery now, all I get is an android robot on its belly with a red warning triangle on it. I also can't boot/flash custom recovery either, adb seems the phone just fine, but it tries to push the recovery, the phone just freeze up.

Someone else on android central forum also has his stock recovery missing right out of the box, getting the same belly-up robot as mine, very strange.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdandashly:
I unlocked bootoader on mine using fastboot oem unlock. I just flashed twrp image and then installed SuperSU.

Got it from this post. I also used to stock factory image from that post as well.

I'm frustrated because my battery life is pretty bad and when I check stats, the kernel is consuming 25% of battery. Any idea what gives?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickey4mice:
Also, did you get "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))" when unlock? Mine unlocked just fine but I don't if that error msg at the end of the process effected anything else.

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Arrrhhh...never mind. I finally brought up the recovery menu by pressing the power+vol up/down buttons REALLY REALLY HARD! I tried this combo for 3 days without success, I think the vol up button is finally loosening up, weird I don't have any problem using it on the phone, just in the recovery mode.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a box of kittens:
Stock recovery really doesn't have anything you can do In it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickey4mice:
Yes, but all I need is gain root and keep stock for OTA, don't want to flash back and forth every time an update comes in.

Sideloading CWM "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7.img" isn't working for me, keep stuck on downloading...nothing happens.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a box of kittens:
A bit confused on what command you're trying...do you want to flash cwm? Then " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickey4mice:
I don't want to permanently flash a custom recovery like CWM, only want to sideload it to flash SuperSU and gain root. The command I use is "fastboot boot recovery.img" where recovery.img being the name of CWM. Don't know why it's not working though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yes, that's the stock recovery. You then have to press power + volume up (in the case of the Nexus 4, for example). You have to manually flash CWM as you would for the normal One

e.g. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You apparently can no longer 'boot' into CWM - you have to flash it

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .TanTien:
Hey guys,

I am thinking about getting a Nexus 4 to replace my HTC Sensation. The Sensation has many problems such as huge battery drain and it gets extremely hot during usage. So I thought the Nexus 4 would be a great idea. Pure Android (huge fan of that, was using CM for a long time on my Senny) and Google Support sound good and the price seems to be okay to (I could buy a 16GB variant for about 310€).

Is this phone great? Is it still worth buying considering it's already nearly a year old? Does it have some know problems such as huge battery drain or display problems?

I need this phone for browsing, using the calendar, writing emails/sms and sometimes taking photos. I don't play any games on it except 4 pictures 1 word.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
I too came from a Sensation, and it's a fine upgrade, for all the reasons you mention. Perhaps not as durable as HTC's build quality, so be sure to include a decent cover (I use the Diztronic TPU and it looks factory) to protect that beautiful glass. It's a joy to use..you can't go wrong. Cheers!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
Honestly, if that is all you use your phone for, you should get the Lumia 1020. But if you want to stay with Android and can wait 4 more months, the 5th Nexus will be out then and should the price be as low as the Nexus4, then it would be better to get that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .TanTien:
The Lumia 1020 would be out of the price range. I'd never pay 400€+ for a phone I only use for work. I probably can't wait till the next release because the Senny really bugs me. I can't use a phone which burns in my hand because it's getting extremely hot while chewing through battery like nothing. My Sensation barely gets through the day with moderate use.

I can't sincerely tell someone to purchase a 7 month old device when knowing a faster device will come for the same price in due time. :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kewlfais:
Well you can go on buying Nexus 4, everything is a beauty when you compare prices and then it is a google phone so it always have it perks.

If you think you should wait for nexus 5 then its not very much pretty soon bcz this time google launched s4 and htc one as google variant which means next nexus will take time.

Your tasks which u need to perform as you have mentioned would all be performed very well.

Tip I can give even for better battery.

Unlock the bootloader, use custom recovery such as CWM and flash CM 10.1 stable releases which ever is latest.

Find franco kernel and flash that and for better colours use its colour profile.

You will have an outstanding experiance with great display and great battery time.

Best of luck.

NOTE. All decision is urs what ever suits you best. :cool:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
People will and should buy the device that suits their needs and the price they are willing to pay.

If you want a unlocked / contract free phone the device is a good choice

The entire motion that a new device will be out in a couple months is pointless. He wants a phone now. A couple months is just that. A couple months living with a phone he doesn't want. Then when the next nexus device comes out there will be the next best thing on the horizon.

He a is a basic user that doesn't participate in the stupid I need the lastest and greatest hw spec race.

Sitting around waiting for 4 plus months for a device is just stupid.

Why buy a HTC one now? The plus version is coming? Why by a s4 now? The advanced or whatever version with the 800 is coming in a couple of months.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
To each their own, I cannot speak for the needs of TC nor their personal interests. Whether he's comfortable with waiting X months is currently unknown and has not been divulged in this topic, so we can agree to disagree. ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
He said he probably can't wait for the next release because his phone bugs him.

Even a device like the HTC first would suit him fine hardware and software wise. Not unlocked and cheap of course ( don't even think it launched outside the US or unlocked) but just talking the device itself

There are plenty of users who are not concerned with the I can read the spec sheet pissing matches. Wait for the latest and greatest chip so they can have a higher score in benchmarks etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleuwave:
Its definitely still worth buying full price. Its a great device especially if you're a fan of stock android like you said.

Happy phoning.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .TanTien:
I really don't need high specs. Benchmarks never intersted me because at the end you probably won't feel any difference between for example the snapdragon 600 and the snapdragon 800 in everyday use. I just want the phone to work well without stuttering and without any hick ups.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
If you need a phone now, just go for it. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and see what comes up. IMO I usually don't want the first batch of the phone anyway since they are usually the ones with problems.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shengovind:
just buy it

I highly recommend nexus 4.. Believe me it's as smooth as HTC one out even better..

Root and flash cyanogenmod and Franco kernel... That made me a delighted user from a happy user...

Besides it'll have developer support for hell lot of a time to come... Even after people forget about HTC one and s4..

802.11b and 802.11g devices will connect with no problems. The worst that can happen is that all 802.11g devices will use the slower speed of the XDAIIs while it's connected.

Peace All,

A while ago (specifically on the HTC Evo OG) there used to be MOD's for custom transition animations, like Bounce, Flip & Fold, blur and etc. I am aware that there is an app called Animod that used to be used, but it hasnt been updated in a while and I doubt it will work on JB.

Just curious if there are any themers that could possibly make Metamorphs for transition animations (or give a brief DIY run through)

Thanks

Peace southernstyle,

I was just on the latest Viper ROM, but unfortunately was having issues w/ SMS constantly showing up as failed msgs and keyboard lag (that drove me crazy especially when I was web-surfing or looking for something important). I loved the ROM and the various tweaks (including the custom transitions) but I just couldnt deal with the above mentioned issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] southernstyle:
I have had issues before with Viper, but I have found that usually it's the kernel. I'm using ElementalX 4.3. I bumped up the voltage a little from the default and turned off overclocking graphics and no zram. It has been working much better for me, maybe play around a little with it. IMO it's the best Sense rom for customizing. Maybe give it a good 2 days to settle after fresh install. Hope that helps a little

I just wanna know about installing CWM Recovery in my arc s with a JB rom. Because there is no supported CWM for xperia arc s for JB.

And I am new to flashing kernals..i did my arc s to JB with fusion 5.4 anyhow but if i want to change the kernal do i need to reflash the rom as well?

And also I installed CWM recovery using X-parts before unlocking bootloader. Should I continue installing like that if i Go back to ICS...or should i follow a another way since now my arc has unlocked BL.

And also when to install the kernal before or after flasing the rom.

Thank You
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Recovery is built within the kernel, so you do not need to install any recovery by yourself.

You can change kernel at any time, no need to reflash the ROM. Just make sure the new one is compatible with your ROM (JB kernel with JB ROM, ICS kernel with ICS ROM).

If you have unlocked BL, you can just flash any custom kernel (all of them should include a recovery), no need for X-Parts.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffandruff:
Thank you for your reply :)

No need to clear any cache, if you change kernels.
