truth is, i m very impress with iPhone 5. so much that i own one for about a year now but my nexus 4 still my main phone. it's amazing the tiny 1440 mAh (iPhone 5) can some times last longer than my undervolt n4 with 2100mAh battery, especially in browsing and video playback.

i guess that is the advantage of having design own A6 chip, retina screen, IOS and everything that tied together by a single company.

but my nexus 4 still my main phone. battery not as great but enough for me to last thru the day, even most extensive usage. smoothness? seriously... my Nexus 4 is smoother. not easy to tell. but my Nexus 4 never lag once! (i solved the sometime chrome lag 0.5 seconds start in kitkat after i update to latest chrome).

with iPhone 5 (IOS 7), try open 10 or more app. double press on home. scroll thru list of app. quickly close a few by swiping it away. you will see minor lag.

my nexus 4, going to same process, won't break a sweat. i have not able to make my nexus 4 lag yet!

iPhone 5's A6 is running at 1.3ghz max speed and just 1gb ram. most of the time (99% for most user, may be 90% for power user?), you can't make it lag.

but comparison to nexus 4 at 1.5ghz and 2gb ram... i love the raw power that allow me to open as many app as i want, care free and still with excellent smoothness.

you can see the difference in power if you can do extensive memory value search in both phone. in those heavy computing and memory operation, the raw power of the phone stand out. (psstt.. that's how i 'overpower' all the games in my phone)

but main reason i m on nexus 4 and not iPhone is Android.... love the ability to change and compile almost everything in android.

most likely due IOS7 "new" multitasking capabilities.. new for IOS...

unfortunately, if you backup your phone with CWM, your nandroid backup stored in /data/media/clockworkmod/backups, and it will get wiped.

factory reset means the following get wiped:

/data is erased
/cache is erased

TWRP is a little smarter, it will store your backup in /sdcard. and factory reset will not wipe the following:

/system
/sdcard

i always have a copy of my phone backup in my PC. u never know...

if that is the case, may be your backup still there?

So, I am slowpoke... Just installed Dungeon Hunter 4...

Among other reason why I am late to this game is the ridicules permissions required for this game:

- Internet
- Record voice (??? why would the game want permission to record voice? team speak???)
- Get accounts
- Auto start in boot up (hate this...)

Took some time to remove those... but finally.. it's running on my Nexus 4

ya, Cheat Engine has a bug that affect scan result due if u have multi multi core CPU:

http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php...18bd1cd611b6080

right click on the process, set CPU to 1 core.

i ran into the same problem today. after a bit of checking, 1 of the Windows 8 update caused my nexus 4 driver fail. so, so, i reboot to allow unsigned driver, install, reboot again. it's connecting again.

============= Unrelated stuff=============

New recorded Dungeon Hunter 4 video against mini boss like Diablo... now with music from Orbital! Running heavy 3D game and recording in the background? No problem.

it shouldn't take too long, i.e. 10 mins. but with most new game, you cannot simply search for the gem/gold value anymore. Instead, look for some item that are selling at some quite unique price, i.e.: sword selling at 451 gem. Search for that, change it to -999999. Buy the sword... voila! Be creative.

on another news, google and Andy Rubin now working on robotic. then, wearable gadget, self driving car... i won't discount google on world domination with just software yet.

wow... wow... wow... hold you horses... don't get ahead of yourself.

nexus already has an established brand of it's own. even if google not planning to continue the legacy (which we don't know that), best bet is they will sell off the brand to some other company.

FYI:

4.4.3. kernel source just went online:

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm...-3.4-kitkat-mr2

previously only firmware/image and 4.4.3 platform source online. with this, custom kernel developer will be able to update their kernel

i m still downloading

always

yalar nothing much to play since 4.4.2...

been playing something else while waiting for any Android update...

LOL! shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Here is a detail changelog from 4.4.2 -> 4.4.3 by funkyandroid.com

https://funkyandroid.com/aosp-KOT49H-KTU84L.html

However the changelog did not contain changes in the kernel (since the source just went online awhile ago).

Here is the detail changelog for the kernel:

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm...-3.4-kitkat-mr2

(from commit: a6edd5e -> commit: 2cae413)

Highlights:

1. Wifi driver update from prima: release v3.2.3.13 to prima: release v3.2.3.18
2. Touch firmware updated from (since JB) mako: touch: PLG224 firmware E001 update to mako: touch: PLG137 firmware E044 update (reverted)

There you have it... seriously not much changes from to previous update in term of kernel...

OK! Done!

havent done any testing yet... just tweaking things here and there...

Kernel version = 3.4.0-perf-ga6edd5e-dirty

Dirty = i made changes to the kernel code, in this case, UV -175, calibrated the screen, tweak the RAMDisk's OnDemand governor, lower GPU idle voltage, etc

will simply fail since OTA update check your binary first before applying the update. if the binary MD5 sum is not match, update will refuse to continue

what the h***...

will check it out!

you gota ask yourself... what if L release next month?

big possibility nexus 4 gonna get update right away...

here in this thread, everyone goes "fu-yu"!

everyone in "mi3" goes "it's coming... it's coming... "

No Nexus 5 or 7? But still wanna try "L"? Get it free from Android SDK.
