Homescreen with only a clock? Child's play tongue.gif

My current setup  sweat.gif

Simple lockscreen with DashClock. The text is a bit difficult to see because of the light-ish wallpaper.. Might consider changing it haha.

Two finger swipedown to access the app drawer.

It's fun having friends trying to figure out my phone. That's probably the main reason it's like this  tongue.gif  tongue.gif

laugh.gif Yeah I loved to do this to trick my friends too. There's no app drawer button and they are having a hard time to figure out where it is (except one of my friend whom are android user himself, easily figured out that I used swipe-up gesture for app drawer; but did not realized that I replaced the home button to be the app drawer button too tongue.gif)

If that's the case maybe you should try looking for other models / types of casing as there are plenty of choices.

Or you could try to use forwarding service such as HopShopGo to order that item (might cost a bomb tho).

Bro, how do you enable that two finger swipe down to access hidden app drawer? Use launcher?
*
Most paid launchers have this feature I believe. Currently I'm using Nova Launcher Prime (bought it during sales tongue.gif) and it does indeed come with the said features ("Gestures and buttons").

franco kernel r111 is out. that changelog made me happy biggrin.gif
*
Which one? unsure.gif
Time to update the kernel again, and still resisting custom rom's temptations tongue.gif

QUOTE
r111:
* Enable negative values in sound control, both in the headphones boost and in the headset boost (some reported reduced static sound by pushing negative values to this one) path is /sys/class/misc/soundcontrol
* Bunch of small fixes here and there
* Add another step on the thermal driver in case of extreme temperature (10 degrees above the threshold) so that it cools down the device faster
* Disabled one init call that might save some ms during boot
* Reduced the reserved RAM for logs and return it to the system
* r110 battery life was awesome, this will be as good as r110 as there were no fundamental changes that can affect it or improve it.

so that means sound is more louder?

Not sure too rclxub.gif

From my understanding negative values in headphone boost should mean forcing it to play at lower volume than originally possible to remove / reduce static sounds.

I thought the changelog noted that there are no impact (positive or negative) in terms of battery life as there are no huge changes between the two.

Anyway, is SP neccessary for N4? Glass strong enough?

Most screens nowadays could prevent scratches, but not all (except tiny particles). So it's best to have at least a layer of screen-protector to prevent scratches directly on your screen. laugh.gif

If i proceed with unlock and root, will it wipe all data from storage? Picture,video,apps ,games etc?

Unlocking will wipe off everything in your phone including those per mentioned. Unlocking is a one time process.

Rooting however will not wipe any data, but it requires your phone to be unlocked in the first place.

Basically it converts website into a maze, and you control a ball's movement via your device with Chrome installed, and the actions / movements will be sync-ed to your PC's screen.

Hmmm , i cant seem to see the picture ... am I the only one ?  blink.gif
Hahaha ... just a quick check before I proceed with this ... If in the end , I do not like the custom ROM, can i recover it back to original ROM and Kernel ? I remember reading it somewhere if I do not backup my own image I will end up not being able to recover to original ROM and Kernel .. Is this true ? Or I can always get them somewhere ...

Time for me to unleash the phone's true power ...  drool.gif

As for the bolded statement, yes, that is true. But not for our Nexus devices. Google publishes the stock images officialy via https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and thus you can easily re-flash to stock by downloading the images. Link to guide on reverting to stock is available in the first page.

polarzbearz this methods works well too for unlock bootloader?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=532sQpllDl8

Yes, and basically that's the way to unlock bootloader by going into Bootloader and unlock it there laugh.gif

An alternative is to turn off your device, hold vol down + power botton and it should be able to enter that screen too.

If you want to do it in the video's way (by using adb commands in the command prompt), just make sure that you have the drivers and Android SDK installed (see first page for more info)

They can surely repair it for you. The question is only about how much they will charge you (as it's not in their warranty coverage here).

For the service centre's address, it's already posted on the first page. Check first page post #2: FAQs under My unit is defective! Where is LG Warranty centre?.

hope u guys understand. i'm poor in communication skills

Alternatively you could try LightFlow, and customise the notification.

e.g. changing the notification settings for SMS Apps and untick 'Switch Screen on when notification arrives'

(Not sure if it'll help, as I installed LightFlow on the first day of using N4 and thus never encountered the problem you're facing)
