Just do a search in the forum dude. This question has been answered tons of times! Look over a bunch (all of the reviews have pics) and take your pick.

Here's a bunch of reviews I did of hardcases from ebay. Ton of pics. (I recommend the Quicksand cases, or Semi Transparent if you have a White Nexus 5)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577289

Bear Motion Sand Cases (don't bother, it's just a quicksand case like mine above with Bear Motion stamped on it. You can see comparisons in the thread).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2570183

Spigen Ultra Fit (Many recommend it, a good case, known to scratch corners if you're not careful because of how rigid it is).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2513645

Ringke Slim (I have it, like it a lot. Thinner than the Spigen. Switch between it and my quicksand cases often, a good case, known to scratch corners if you're not careful because of how tight/rigid it is).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507313

Nillkin Nexus 5 case (No experience with this one, but people here really like it).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518646

amCase ultra slim (People really like it, nice fit, but may peel the finish easily).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596427

0.33mm Thin TPU case (Hit or miss, some really like it, others have had problems, ridiculously thin though).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2604742

I agree that there's enough of these threads that a search will find easy answers now (like all of the ones I listed above, were found with searching "slim" or "thin").

Also, why even bother mentioning where it's from? If the case is good, who cares where it comes from. Everything is pretty much manufactured and shipped from somewhere in S.E Asia anyway. Have a look here to compare the Bear Motion Slim to standard Quicksand. The same goes for their Semi Transparent Polycarbonate.

The main difference, is if you go with ebay or alibaba etc, you skip the middle men/paint/branding/retailer markups, ordering usually direct from factory seller. So what's essentially $20 from a retailer, you can get for $0.99 - $2.00. The only drawback, is it takes about 3 weeks to arrive.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jbdan:
Because I read a lot here and most folks say "they are Chinese knockoffs" . I'll redact my comment above, I apologize if you were offended by it. I don't care if the cases come from Pluto it was just the way it's been put by others in the forum and I was re-quoting it. ;)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
No worries, I wasn't offended by it. It always just seems to be a blanket assumption/insult thrown around a lot here though. Mostly based off misunderstanding/unfamiliarity of how manufacturing and distribution works.

Most people don't realize that the case they're holding in their hand, from some big name company is the exact same product made from the same "cheap Chinese factory." The only difference being that these knockoffs, are the exact same product before Branding/Marketing/Retailer Distribution/Cost Markups are attached to it. The prestige of a brand name make people think that these cheaper versions from China are inferior, when in fact they are the same thing, from the same place, minus a company logo, just sold to you directly. Now I'm not saying that's how it is 100% of the time, but the majority of the time, if something is manufactured in China, that is the case.

I feel bad more so for the Chinese people that frequent xda, or in general. That their ethnicity is used so easily and frequently as an insult for low quality.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this app (Australian Banking app) or any like it.

Basically I installed a custom 4.4.2 rom (SlimKat) and I rooted the device and use SuperSU, when I load the app it gives me a warning about my phone being modified, I tried to remove the root with SuperSU (I used to use Voodookeeper OTA when I was on stock 4.2.2 and below) but this made no difference (regardless of trying temp or the full unroot option) and I still had the message.

So does anyone know if I can actually fool the app into thinking my device isn't modified? Or is it the fact I have a custom rom and is there no way to hide that fact?? Has anyone had any experience with a similar app?

Thanks.

I would have much preferred something by Chainfire or the Voodoo OTA app, seeing as they are so heavily used it would have been nice for my peace of mind, but beggers can't be choosers and the solution still gets me what I wanted, so thanks again. :D

Hi,

As soon as I got my cell, I rooted it. I think I read some where that x-reality wont work on rooted phones? Is it true? I haven't had a chance of experiencing it as I don't know if its running or not.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] neverborn:
On 290 (Android 4.3), rooting requires (or used to, not anymore) that your phone's bootloader be unlocked.

It is this unlocking process that causes you to lose your DRM keys, thereby getting rid of X-reality.

Lower builds (257 and below) could be rooted without unlocking the bootloader.

Didn't know where to post this, it seems a problem online but I cannot narrow down a solution that isn't for a specific device.

HTC One International version, running Android 4.3 Elegancia 13

Everytime I try to install the Whatsapp application, it states "insufficient storage" when I do have about 4gb of storage left.

It happened when I tried to update the application, so I uninstalled and the same error popped up.

Any ideas on fixing? I cleared the cache on Google Play Services, and data but that just screwed up Android Device Manager...

Thanks guys

I use Enhanced SMS and Caller ID. Works great with Hangouts texts - can ask you if you want it read, then read it, then ask you if you want to reply, and send you reply for you. Completely hands free, and can set it to only work when connected to headset/bluetooth if you want. Been using it for years. Developer is responsive and continually improving. Highly recommended. He also does subsets of the functions in different apps, but I have only used the main one:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] MichaelDJJohnson:
Having already used the O2 XDA, O2 XDAII and the O2 XDAIIs I have been spoilt by O2's ROM updates via their own website.

The problem I have is that by changing to Vodafone I now have no facilities via the Vodafone website to do the same. How do you update your ROM if you have a Vodafone V1640?

Would appreciate your comments
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Jorgee:
If you love O2, you can flash the O2 ROM onto your Vodafone Device without problems.

Just use the search button on how this is done.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] MichaelDJJohnson:
Thank you. I am a little concerned that the O2 ROM will erase my Vodafone settings as well as conflict with Vodafone protocols. I understand that the ROMs will have the same Microsoft Mobile 5 updates but also embedded are the phone company's unique settings and addional programs.

Do you know whether Vodafone issue ROM updates and if so how do you obtain them?

Thank you for your help and assistance
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] seal:
Why do you want to change the rom, (is there problems with the vodafone Rom) and what other programs are on the Vodafone Rom that you would loose.

As for settings you can enter all settings anyway into any rom as far as I know.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] MichaelDJJohnson:
There is nothing wrong with the current ROM. I just want to stay up to date. New ROMs normally (and I say this tongue in cheek) have improved facilities.

The O2 site does not allow my V1640 (or in the O2 case XDA Exec) to be updated by their ROM as the IMEI does not tally up as being an O2 valid product.

I guess it's back to the drawing board for my quest.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Jorgee:
just add the number 3 right before the .html and even if u dont have a correct imei, you can access the site of O2
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] MichaelDJJohnson:
Thank you. I will give that a try.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] MichaelDJJohnson:
Will it erase all my Vodafone settings?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Jorgee:
All Hard Resets / Full ROM Upgrades erase everything. I believe some roms have CAB files with operator settings. Download the Imate ROM, Install, then look for the VODAFONE .CAB file in the extended ROM, copy it to PC, then Upgrade to O2 ROM then run the CAB file that you copied to the PC
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pascal86100:
If I've bought a Sola MT27i, it's for the NFC, Bluetooth, and some other nice pro capacities.

Most of ROM are for player and musics listners whos can have an mp3 player or a tablet for less money.

I love to play with those ROM, but I found no better use of what i've choose my sola.

I dont take care of minor improvment for the cpu or memory tweaks.

I'm an android devlopper, for that, i'm happy tto tes with a 4.4 kitkat my applications,

but, for my wishes, this device is not to play, it's for work, so.. NCF, Hardware accelartion, use of sensors are better than quality of sound

Please try to made a ROM for users, not for gamers..

The munjeni one is the more stable, the carbon one isnt working, i' try the last hellkat, and, if it's not working with the real capacities of the sola, then i'll be back to the stock and forget to use those really easy works, i can do it myself

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
Try mine! ;D Slim Jelly Beans ROM ^^

Just kidding. Buut, why don't you just try some ROM's like Stock JB's or so? It's meant for all. No ROM is really only for gaming! If that really would be case, you won't find there stuff like radio, clock, Music Player etc..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pascal86100:
Yes i've tried yours too.

BTW, a clock is the minimum, and the munjeni rom one doesnt work

FM radio is the simpliest one, and no one have made this radio working without headset or with alarm

Music player.. hummm... my sdcard isnt ready to eat that, i dont like to ear music elsewhere than my house

NFC ? YES ! we have radio credit cards, and we ue nfc here in france... Some of my app really nead this function

watching tv ? on a 3" screen ??? i've not to hide myself under my pillow

Devellopment ? Sure !!! but if most of the hardware part of the sola arent useable with a custom rom,i can buy a 50$ tablet for that

anyway, thanks for all the REAL dev whos spend time for us, and not a red colored new kitkat rom.

Xposed Framework is not compatible with ART runtime it's right, but it should not give bootloops. If you set ART it revert back automatically to Dalvik runtime to avoid bootloops.
