Well crap, I took a sharpie to the speaker and its no bueno, It comes out looking a weird gray, not to mention you can't cover all of the white on the grill! Oops, I wonder how I can fix this? Q-tip with rubbing alcohol maybe? It doesn't look "bad", looks like a white ring instead of big white circle.

Is that clear (see through) or just the white carbon? I ask because I ordered the white carbon. Thanks.

For the black version, couldn't you put a base of white oil paint for a 'primer' coat? Colors over that could really stand out.

What would be nice is if someone came out with precut stickers to fill in all the letters so it would be less permanent than marker/paint. Basically the opposite of what the dbrand cover does.

Does the sharpie smudges over time by any chance?
[Nexus 5 General] Ibkevin:
Hey man what are u using for this white and green? Is it pinstriping or paint? Those lines look way too clean and perfect for u to have painted that on there. I know cause I've tried and I actually do have some painting skill but those are just perfect. How'd ya do it?
[Nexus 5 General] Ibkevin:
Sharpies will smudge or basically wipe off. That was what I used first. However I did NOT try to use a clear coat with the sharpies, so it may work if u clear coat it. I ended up using paint instead of markers the second time and then taped off everywhere on the back of the phone only leaving the X exposed and used a clear coat on it and it worked great. After letting it dry I can now rub my finger over it and it does not smudge or come off. I wanna know what the guy with the pics of the green and white one used. Whatever he used, his lines are perfect. Too perfect to be paint.
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
I used these.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BRBZVU/ref=pd_aw_sims_4?pi=SY115

All I did was paint over the entire letter and wait till it dried, then fold up a kleenex , put some rubbing alcohol on it and wipe very carefully.

It seems like there's a small channel around the outside of the letters that hold paint. It makes it a little harder to remove the paint but it can be done.

[Nexus 5 General] umesswitme:
Alright just received my white back I will start experimenting shortly. I must say the feel of the white back a lot with the soft grip sides it reminds me a lot of the Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 General] Ibkevin:
I agree man. I got the white originally and then after seeing how the backs can be ordered, thanks to the post in this thread that is, I thought man I wish I would've gotten the black one so I can have soft touch sides with the white back. Perfect combo my friend. The glossy sides look nice but the soft is a nicer feel and most of all gives some grip to the phone. My white phone has almost jumped out of my hands 2 or 3 times now. Thankfully I got cat like reflexes lol.

Also just an FYI , if you're going to color the X on the back cover, whether u use markers or paint or whatever, my advice would be to let it dry for a bit afterwards, then tape off the entire back of the phone with masking tape ( or any tape that won't leave a residue & peels away easy ) except for the painted X, and use a clear coat/sealant of some kind to ensure it won't rub or fade away. I used just regular artists clear sealant spray that you would use on a painting or drawing to protect it afterwards. It definitely seemed to help
[Nexus 5 General] evostudios:
I was attempting to paint the X blue, red, yellow, and green to match the Nexus logo but I just couldn't get it to look right. So instead I did just the white outline. Just as the other post mentioned: I painted all the letters white (it can be done quite sloppily), wiped them off with a wet rag and the white paint remains in the little channel leaving perfect lines.
[Nexus 5 General] toddmacmac:
Painted my logo, black nexus 5

Noob here, first post after many months of just lurking.

I have been following this post for a little while now and like the idea of coloring the X on the back of the white. I have a 32gb black though. I decided to paint the letters and see what would come of it.

I used come primer as the first coat, painting it on with a brush and wiping the excess off with a towel. After letting this dry I grabbed some high quality acrylic paint from michaels and painted the X blue red green and yellow. I also ran back over the primer on the other letters with the same high quality acrylic paint. It was easy enough to just wipe off the excess and be left with the outline filled with paint.

I bought all my supplies at michaels. It didn't cost too much for everything, maybe 15 bucks. Pricey for a little phone mod, but totally worth it in my opinion. Plus I have the paint to color other crap too now. yay
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
Wow, that is very beautiful. I don't know why Google didn't do that from jump. About how long did it take to do once you've obtained the supplies?
[Nexus 5 General] toddmacmac:
Hey thanks!!

It probably took me about an hour from start to finish. I took sometime to let the layers dry up before I started with the next layer.

If I had to do it over again, I would only paint the X the multi color, The rest of the letters were done this time because I got some primer in the 'e' and couldn't remove it, so I just painted the n e u and s white as well.

really isn't too difficult. my supply list was: primer, enamel acrylic paint (white, red, blue, green, yellow), two paintbrushes (super fine and medium)

I had some painters tape handy, which I didn't use. I also had water, paper towels, and a good clean working area to complete this in. If you take your time, and be patient, it can come out great!
[Nexus 5 General] mikeacela:

[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
I used a Elmer's paint pen. The same one I used on the back nexus logo on the phone. But, the paint on the case is not as durable, as it somehow started coming off after a few days but I'm going to try it again with a few more thicker coats.

[Nexus 5 General] d_phekt:
I haven't seen this mentioned here yet, so in case anyone isn't aware.. the glossy "nexus" lettering are actually tiny stickers inside the recessed letters. A few days ago I noticed that one of the 4 parts of my X was missing its gloss. I took an x-acto knife and carefully picked out the remaining pieces of all the letters. Be careful if attempting this tho.. Tiny adhesive strips under the sticker parts will be left behind and will also need to be picked out or it will look bad. Its super easy and only took about 5 minutes. I personally like the flatter stealthier look of the non gloss lettering. I'm also sure paint will stick better on the dull surface. I still plan on attempting to paint the X on my black N5 but haven't gotten to the craft store yet. I am definitely going to use some sort of white under the other colors to assure perfection. Hope this helps others too.
[Nexus 5 General] Ibkevin:
Any chance we can see a pic of what it looks like now, peeled away? Is it still black under the sticker?
[Nexus 5 General] d_phekt:
Yes it is black under the stickers. Its the same surface as the rest of the back. Here's a quick pic I took. I do not have a before pic for reference. I personally like the more matte look.
[Nexus 5 General] Pekempy:
Good to know! I might peel them off and paint the X of my black case.

Unsure if I'd want to paint the NEUS anything.. Perhaps white. Maybe I'll Photoshop and see how it looks

Edit: Just peeled off the "X", and the LG logo at the bottom. I agree, it does look nice matt. :) thanks

[Nexus 5 General] :
Has anyone tried painting with the stickers taken off? I'd guess that there's a niche in the logo because of the sticker, so if you took it off, you couldn't get that nice bordered look.

I'm going to try this on my black N5 in a week or two with just a border around the X. We'll see how it goes.
[Nexus 5 General] fleabeard:
Now that my letters have started to peel on their own and Google won't replace the phone for cosmetic problems, I'm going to pull the rest of them and paint them in.

I thought I was the only one :D. Still happens to me after two months! Think I am going to paint the speaker. But top and bottom will be hard to distinguish...
[Nexus 5 General] reeco:
Well here is my first attempt. I used a Stanley knife to remove the adhesive strip and then filled it with tipex. I then coloured the white tipex with sharpies. Came out ok, but I think I need a better primer as tipex isn't great. Looks cool though.

[Nexus 5 General] Paradoxxx:
Here my glossy back letters went off by themselves. So I just removed them all, and gotta say it looks much cleaner and minimalistic this way.
[Nexus 5 General] :
What primer have people been using? The one I used didn't work out well at all, considering it didn't stick on very well. I used a toothpick to apply it, so that might have factored in. Also, would applying a coat of sealant make sense, or does Sharpie on primer hold up?

I'm looking for a blend of resilience and quality here. I'm not really on a budget, either financially or timely. Any and all help is appreciated.

Awesome work guys. :good:

I wanna try this but is there a step by step video on how to go about this? :cowboy:
[Nexus 5 General] Ibkevin:
Not that I'm aware of. Mostly was a trial n error thing for me. There is a link or two posted in the thread I believe that explain what method they used in detail but you mainly have to just read what worked best for people. I first used markers but they wiped off, then I moved to paint n a clear seal but when I did mine I also wasn't aware that the nexus letters had stickers so it may be better to remove them first even. Just check over the thread n see what worked best. I was an early attempt. I think people figured out a little more than me since my try. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Man, you're Nexus 5 looks SWEEEEET!!! :D I got the white as well, and all but one of the X letter stickers have fallen out. All the other stickers remain in place, but who knows how long that'll last...

What color did you use for the rest of your letters? It looks like it is a light grey, but could it be black by chance? I want to do mine like yours when the other letters start falling out (which WHY did Google put stickers in? Gah).

I like the OP "X" too, if only Google done that from the start, the N5 would have looked even better! The black version is what I want to see it done to next lol I'm glad mine is white though.

EDIT: [MENTION=5601646]toddmacmac[/MENTION] your N5 looks AMAZING! The black version never looked better! I agree, I wish Google had done this from the start. I want to pull the other letters of mine and pain lol I wonder what to pain the LG face though if and when it comes off.
[Nexus 5 General] akhilleus_:
I have a tendency to do this stuff. Never took a picture of it, but sometimes when I'm bored lying in bed I'll break out a marker or three and get coloring on the Nexus logo. I switch it up pretty often and it's easily removed by some nail polish remover on a q-tip. I'm pretty gentle and careful with it but it cleans it off pretty well. I have a tendency to doodle on the back of my phone - for better or worse.
[Nexus 5 General] wiggy6230:
Hi there,

Thanks, on the Nexus 5 I used Games Workshop Codex Grey on the lettering. I did toy with the idea of using the same colours as my Nexus 7 (link somewhere in my older post) but think the grey does just fine.

Hey everyone,

I like Phatnotes, but I've noticed something that's been annoying me since upgrading to a VGA device...The VGA icons are huge! I know you can go to Tools -> options -> Notes list -> small icons, but they are still much bigger than on my old qVGA device. Bottom line, I wind up having to scroll to get to my particular note, whereas I could fit all notes on the same screen with my qVGA device. Any way to alter the icons/use old qVGA icons???

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lockedhunt:
So I got a S4, without doing my research, and found out that the bootloader is locked. I didnt make much of it until i found out I cannot flash ROMs which frustrated me to no end. I know Safestrap exists, and that there are no known exploits for 4.2.2 m9 (which is the baseband im on). So I started to research and see if there were any threads going on with a collective effort to break this lock, and didnt really find one that was ongoing. I found on in the Verizon section but I had no clue what they were doing. I have a bit of coding experience with all the general languages and have been in the scene of jailbreaking/rooting/blah blah from psp's to now android. I have always wanted to help out, but was always felt in over my head because I had no idea where to start. Which I noticed a lot of other people also seem to feel, who have similar backgrounds like mine, and so for them and me: I was hoping we could get a thread going for people to understand/ have a starting point to finding exploits and such.
