[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profman03:
Right, wasn't the Thunderbolt a mess? Over the last 6 months there were a few devs that put out some roms making it actually usable... but it was still rough going. Glad to be on a new device.

1.) If just switching out the Super User app is the biggest worry, that should be easy and doesn't bother me.

3.) Is this as simple as downloading the Wanum Xposed app? I've read about that in various posts on here, but never really got an idea of what it was... it's just an app that opens up a lot more customization on Touch Wiz?

4.) If there's not a big list, is there a small list of the best things to turn off to increase battery and performance?

5.) Found it, thanks.

6.) I'm currently rocking a Spigen Bounce case and one of their cheaper plastic screen protectors... but my install was pretty crappy and I want a new one cause it's gonna drive me crazy.

Thanks for all the help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titaniumtm:
Oh yeah, it certainly was. Big, bulky, and slow.

1) One other thing to mention is that your IMEI may be sent out during the exploit process. Plenty of people have used the method and haven't said anything bad happened as a result; so hopefully that holds true since this is still the only root method for MJ7.

3) Pretty much. You would download the X posed framework. Then, from within Xposed you can download and install the Wanam module. Then from within the Wanam module there is an option to disable the volume warnings. There is a good bit of other modules available within Xposed to adjust other aspects of your phone as well.

4) Still no list that I know of; I'll try and look deeper in a bit. What I did originally once rooted on stock was use TiBu to freeze unwanted apps; then used greenify on others that I wanted to keep, but wanted to control when they would use cpu, data, etc.

5) NP, glad to hear.

6) Haha; I know the feeling. I have the Neo Hybrid; loving it. It doesn't offer as much protection, but I wanted to keep the phone thin. It has been dropped from about 5 ft up, and so far so good.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joejaniczek:
Hello,

How does the upcoming OTA update (4.3) affect people with unlocked bootloaders and custom ROMs? I am new to this and this will be my first OTA update since rooting/unlocking.

Will I even get a notification requesting to update, or will it force me to update? And which should I choose? Will I have to re-root the phone after the update? Or can I even get the OTA update since it is rooted?

Sorry, I have a ton of questions, so if someone can just explain what is going to happen and what our choices are that would be great!

Thanks in advance!!!

-Joe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
I'll try to answer a few

...

It seems like the ota is delayed but who knows..

If you want to stay unlocked and rooted don't take the ota until a respected developer says otherwise.

You may or may not get a notification depending on your ROM or other system tweaks. If you are rooted only, you provably will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
The OTA will note affect you at all, you will not even be prompted for it due to running a custom ROM.

If your running a stock rom and have only rooted/unlocked, an OTA will break root and relock your bootloader.

If your running a stock rom/unlocked/and a custom recovery, you'll get prompted for the OTA, but it will not install, it will fail due to the custom recovery (twrp/cwm/etc).

You'll need to Odin to stock to receive an official OTA, but remember there is always a risk of an OTA breaking root permanently....

My advice is to stay custom, and flash a rooted custom stock rom that will surely be appearing here within a day or two of the OTA... But Verizon will probably not release 4.3 to us, and if they do it'll be at least 4 months...

Hey I ordered a pack of 3 crystal screen protectors but there was only one when it came... i've head that spigen support doesn't respond..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
No effing way!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b.spec:
I don't really see any other option other than dealing with it or contacting Spigen =P If you ordered through something like Amazon, then go through Amazon to contact them. If you ordered from Spigen directly, then contact them. I submitted a request to them inquiring about the SLIM.t/tR screen protector debacle and they got back to me about a week later. So if you're patient enough, then you'll get a reply (you already got one screen protector so I assume you can last a week or so).

Hi,

Is there a way to make specific device ROM's compatible with Microsoft's Device Emulator? I saw MS uses BIN files and they are not the same as an NBF file. I assume some modification has to be done as the GSM module will not work?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
So I just got he Diztronic Case for my new Nexus 5 today and here's my thoughts on it. I've been a Diztronic case user for sometime now; had it on previous devices such as my S3. One thing I love about Diztronic is that they are more substance than flash when it comes to their cases.

Packaging:

One thing you will notice when you get the packaging is that, well there isn't much to say as its in a plastic wrap, with a cardboard cutout placeholder for your phone. They spent the money were it needs to go; on the case itself.

Build Quality/Design

As expected from Diztronic, the case is a built top notch using a soft but firm flexible TPU material. It has a two tone appearance where the edge/frame is a shiny glossy black (along with the Diztronic logo on the back) where the rest of the case is a soft grippy matte black on the back and sides. A thing to point out is the nice feel the matte finish has. It almost feels like the Nexus 5 back without a case. It just feels good. One thing I like is that Diztronic did not plaster their name all over the case like some case manufacturers do. Just one simply logo at the back near the bottom.

The cutouts are all in the perfect location and aligned right. The cutouts for all ports/mics/speakers are spot on. One thing I would like to point out is the cutout for the headphone jack. It's bigger than other cases I've seen and I like that. It allows for headphone plugs off varying sizes to be used with our phone. Many times a plug will be too big to be used with certain cases and the phone would have to removed from the case to use said plug. The cutout is a large nice square cutout. So thumbs up to Diztronic for that. Also, the microusb port cutout is large also, allowing for oem and aftermarket micro usb plugs to be used. Which is really like as I have plugs and charges of all sorts of sizes around the house, bag and car.

One thing that did differ from the S3 Diztronic case is that there is no cutouts for the buttons; volume and power. I'm sure a lot of us went the super cheap route before and got a tpu case off of ebay with no cutouts and it was just plain misery trying to press the buttons. That was one of the big pluses for me on the S3 case and was doubtful and wary about no cutouts on the Nexus 5 case. Yet, Diztronic has pulled through and made pressing the buttons easy and nice even without the cutouts. The fake buttons on the case to mimic the buttons on the phone are very nicely designed and implemented. They actually look and feel like real buttons and not just some bump on the case like the cheaper tpu cases.

Another thing I liked is that the edges are raised to protect the phone if you place it face down on the table. So no scratching the screen when doing so.

Also, unlike the slim cases from Spigen and Ringke (other cases I considered) is that it has decent protection all the way around the phone. The slim cases protect the sides but not so much the top and bottom. Sure its a little bulkier and thicker but my mind is a little more at ease with the added protection.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] johnny15:
Got the same case on my N5 as well. Had one on my EVO 4G LTE as well. Decent case all around. Nice review.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
Thanks I appreciate it!

Yeah one of the better cases I've used on any device. Great customer support too, anytime I had an issue they always were quick and courteous.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ComposMentis:
Thanks for the review. My phone slipped out of my hand today and I was able to catch it with my foot before it fell the rest of the approx. 6 inches to a tile floor. The back cover popped open a little bit, but it was otherwise unscathed. I took that as my first and only warning from the phone Gods to put a case on it so I just bought one of these based on your review.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
yeah I always recommend a case. I don't like otter boxes or tank sized cases but I do like a medium between super slim and otterbox. I'm sure you'll like the case!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
How much of the screen does the edge/lip of the case cover? Any use this with a screen protector?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] funky_snowman:
Covers very little of the screen. I am using with with the spigen ultra crystal with no problems. I think it's a much more functional case than the official bumper.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
Yeah, if you can't tell my phone has a screen protector on it. I'm using the xtremeguard protector on it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rayray27:
Does anyone have any pictures of this case (either black or clear, both would be nice though) on a white Nexus 5? Looking to purchase this case just not sure in which color :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
The skinomi screen protector I got has 1mm margin to the edge of the screen so any case lip that covers more than 1mm will start to push on the protector.

Would you say the it covers 1mm or less of the screen?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] funky_snowman:
Yes, I think that's accurate
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unciviilized:
Does this case feels like the soft black of the phone? How is it with fingerprints?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rsa 329:
I'm curious as well about the case pushing against the screen protector. I would like to know if the case causes the screen protector to lift away from the screen. This is a problem I have with the spigen.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
Amazon has the black with prime shipping, I'll make sure to post my thoughts
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LuBi:
Looks like you lucked out and got the second revision, seems like a lottery at Amazon right now but good to see they started shipping them. Nice big photos and thanks for taking the time. I personally decided to pass on Diz this time due to the QC issues and covered up buttons.

FYI there's a thread a few pages long dedicated to the progression of this case including other pics and reviews: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2490294 :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Atticustrd:
After using a spigen neo hybrid for a few days I've gone back to the diztronic, fits like a glove. And almost feels like there's no case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tylerdurden83:
Is it hard to take off? I've read that some people actually damaged the exterior back and edges by taking off their cases...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
No its not hard to take off... I don't go side to side... I go from bottom to top. So insert the bottom of the phone first then the top. Yeah i was worried about the revisions but Diztronic emailed me that all new cases should be the revised version
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tylerdurden83:
Sucks that from Italy apparently there is no way to get my hands on one since no euro amazon sells it and they directly also dont mail it to Italy or other european countries....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
Have you tried eBay through the seller "post3rs" ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
No... I went through amazon
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eman3316@optonline.net:
Ordered mine Friday night from the Diztronic website and received it today. I have used these cases in the past but I had ordered some other ones due to them being available before I even got the phone.

I had a Ringke Slim case and for someone who is looking for a little protection, this is the case to get. It is the slimmest thing I have ever seen but it does not cover the top and bottom of the device. It only covered the corners and back. It also looked really good on the device but it still made me nervous while handling the phone.

I then tried a Cimo S-Line TPU case and it was not good at all. It was to big on the sides, was a little bulky and had a little weight to it.

Now after putting on the Diztronic TPU case I must say it has hot the perfect spot. It fits like a glove, seems to be pretty light, looks really good and offers a nice amount of protection. I never owned 3 cases for the same phone but I felt the Nexus 5 needed to have the perfect case. lol

Anyway, for people who do not like cases at all and usually go naked, I totally recommend the Ringke Slim. It actually adds to the sexiness of the N5 and adds absolutely no bulk or weight and still offers a little bit of protection and piece of mind...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FreakishCrawdad:
The phone matches the soft black fairly well, fits like a glove, and compared to other cases almost seems as though nothing is on it (although haven't tried them all).

I have picked this case up with olive oil on my hands from prepping food, and I felt like it did fairly well at hiding the oils until I got a wet cloth to wipe it down. Minimal shine to the oily fingerprints, and regular fingerprints rarely show up and are barely there when they do.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unciviilized:
Ah glad i ordered it then.. Looks like the perfect case for me then.. Thanks for responding..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tracerit:
whoa, is diztronic adding lips to separate the glossy front and matte back now? that looks so bad. i was a fan of their galaxy nexus case when i had one though.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] muriani:
Great review. Got mine a couple of days ago, and couldn't be happier.

I had a Diztronic case for my One S (dropped the thing twice, cracked screen both times before casing) and loved it.

When I got the N5, I *knew* I needed to get a TPU case, and sure enough Diztronic stepped up with a good one. Love the front lip to protect the screen, and the thickness on the back just enough to keep the camera lens off the table.

It really looks like a first-party case, like the N5 was almost designed around it. Couldn't recommend it more.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kayone73:
It cover none of the viewable screen

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Momotani-Hitoshi:
But it still covers some parts of the glass right?

Looks like it covers a good portion of the bezel on the side.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] klin1344:
In that case, are screen protectors any good with this case? I'm afraid that the case would push up the screen protector from the sides.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FirstROMQuantum:
Depending on the area the screen protector covers the phone. If it covers to the edge, then the case should rest on top of the protector with no damage. You would probably want to have a nice space buffer between the rim of the case and the screen protector though. You can always whip out an Xacto Knife and a ruler if modifications are needed. (worst case scenario).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jtwlbz:
Is that diztronic white one?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fcng:
Diztronic is too tight....

I ordered mine and delivered to Hong Kong. Well, your screen protector must be trimmed down and fitted within the border of the case and there will be no lift of the screen protector. The Diztronic is just too tight of a fit with a screen protector. Find a smaller screen protector that won't fit the entire screen then you will be ok. I just purchased a Spigen Neo Hybrid and everything was perfect with no trimmed screen protector. I still like the Diztronic feel in the hand but there has to be alterations to your screen protector to fit the TPU case properly. Sad but true.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Paradoxx123:
I was wondering if the button feedback of this case was "clicky" and whether or not anyone has had any experience with this case and the Unicorn Beetle case and which one is recommended?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ComposMentis:
Got mine on Friday and it's a fantastic case. There is a rough corner from the injection molding, but nothing I can't deal with. The case fits extremely well for a semi-soft case. Like somebody else said, this case feels like it was made by LG.. it fits that well. I don't have to gingerly set my phone down anymore. I don't plan on drop testing it any time soon :) so I can't speak to its protection during a drop.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
glad you like the case!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GoatsTech:
I agree I do not like how most of the case is matte but the lip protecting the screen is gloss. It is a very nice case I owned one for my S3, but yeah I don't think I would get it again due to that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
WOW... that little thing is a deal breaker?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thfreedumb:
Love the case. Fits flawless with the ismooth screen protector without trimming

I love this case on my Nex 5 but.... Does anyone make a belt clip that will go around the Diztronic TPU case?

There are times I like to have just the phone in my pocket and other times (like at work) where I need it as a belt clip at my waist.

Thanks for any help.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mb3030:
gotta say i agree with the previous statements about the lip. I do not like it at all. Im a huge fan of diz cases and have had one on every phone up until the nexus 4 (official bumper and same with N5 now). Anyone that asks for a recommendation on a TPU case the first thing i tell them to do is to see if diz makes a case for it, but with that lip i'm going to start changing my tune. Yes, it's that hideous. I don't know what you guys are seeing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmedei9:
I'm loving this case but wouldn't mind if the buttons were a bit easier to press.

I've seen in other threads about making a cut along the buttons length-wise to increase feedback while leaving the buttons covered.

Has anyone tried this on their Diz case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ketjr81:
Really? I have this case and the buttons feel like there isn't a case on it. They are easy to press and get all the regular feedback.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] espeanage:
Just ordered a Diztronic case. I have a Caseology case and the button cutout isn't great. The buttons are hard to press since the case is two times thicker than the buttons and I'd have to reach in with my fingernails. The cutout for the sim card wasn't such a great idea either because I'd have to search for the power button every time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jimburke57:
My buttons are also harder to push in this case than without a case. Although I have the frosted clear case so maybe that is why. But they are way easier than in my Spigen Ultra Hybrid. So all in all I'm happy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bush911:
wanted to buy one, but it can't be shipped to China :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] startngate:
Got mine today. Diztronic royally screwed up the shipping, but at least they offered a refund. Case is much better than the Nexus 4 version and I loved that one. Looks like it will be a keeper for me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
I agree 100%. The gloos looks horrible and cheap. I've seen a lot of cases do this and I just hate it.

The cases for this phone either look good or they function well but rarely do they do both it seems.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
When did a little gloss mean cheap? It's not overly flashy or distracting. I like the two tone approach. To each their own but it looks good to me. I've had the two tone on an S2, S3 and it looks fine. The Nexus 5 white is two toned. Matte white and Gloss black on the sides.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DannyBoy7783:
Two-toned is not the issue, its the matte/gloss difference. I personally think matte looks much nicer than glossy. On these low end cases the glossy just looks cheap to me.But I'm a minimalist. I'm not saying it is a crap case...just that the finish difference irks me. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:
yeah i like that matte too, but im fine with a little gloss. The bezel around the display is "glossy" on the front of the phone so having a glossy finish covering up the glossy bezel isnt that big a deal imo.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bantamdraper:
Got my Diztronic Matte Black TPU case in the mail today. Right up until today I had my N5 in a Ringke Fusion Which I liked initially but have grown to dislike over time..open gap around the headphone jack that allows dirt to get between the phone and clear back too easily, edges a bit too sharp, bumper material feels a bit too cheap.

The Diztronic feels so much better. I like the slightly curved back that goes with the contour of the phone. It feels great in hand and hardly feels like there is a case on it at all. The lip around the front edge covers more of the front which I like. My only issue is that the lip makes it a bit awkward since I use LMT launcher. When using LMT part of my thumb covers the lip when swiping. Other than that the case is perfect.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krash183:

OK I'm really tempted to but this because it seems like everyone who got one liked it. I was looking for a flip cover but now I might go with this. I had a skim armor but I'd like just a tpu the slim armor back is annoying.

So just to confirm the buttons are nice and easy to press on here? And ask the cutouts are good?
