I was just playing around with my Nexus 7 and I came across a neat and convenient trick to dispose of a app from the app drawer that you may have mistakenly selected and you only get three options uninstall, app info or simply drop the app on the home screen of your Nexus device. Well, there's a fourth option! Simply long press a app from your home screen or app drawer. Then, fling your finger that's holding down the app down up and release! That's it! From the home screen you don't have to take a app all of the way up to the white x remove then red release delete. From the bottom or where ever that app is on your screen you want to remove or replace, just press and hold the app you want to remove, fling your finger in motion down then up release and watch it fly away off of your screen! I think this only works with Jelly Bean, but this my friend is very convenient!

I can add another cool trick: slide up from the bottom of the screen where the 3 buttons are to bring up the Google search. Neat.
Another cool trick in Jelly Bean. Settings > About Tablet/Phone > Android Version (tap repeatedly for surprise)

It shows a lockscreen-style circle for that. Kinda unnecessary, but cool. A quick swipe up from the home button works just as well.

There's an easter egg in the settings app. Go into "about tablet". Tap the version number many times. After that, press and hold the Jelly Bean.

That is actually launching Google Now. If you do not have search history turned on for your google account, you will only see a google search.
If you have history, it will show more information cards.
I'm not quite sure if you're serious or you're really just now discovering the features marketed in the presentations.

Not everyone watched the presentations. No reason to be unnecessarily mean. I thanked him since I didn't know about the trick at all and these types of threads are awesome.
couldnt do it for the life of me and figured it must be a N7 thing only at the moment. But then I re-read the directions on how to do it... derp:silly:
Thanks guys for your help hints!

I watched the presentation but only recently realised the two finger trick for expanding or reducing notification sizes!

slide two fingers up or down instead. Won't work on all notifications of course

If you long press either the back button or the multi-window button (I forget the technical name of it) and swipe up it will bring up google now as if you were holding down the home button.

yay, my dad got my a 32gb for xmas! anywho I'm really liking it and the responsiveness of AOKP so far! i have to say, i had the most frustrating time rooting it though (i'm no noob to rooting anything btw), never had so much trouble. the rootkits weren't able to adb to my tablet and were giving me problems for about 3 hours. i finally said "**** it" i'll just unlock with fastboot and put twrp on it the manual way (which only took about 3 minutes).
anywho! i've been on jelly bean for a few months now on my sprint sgs3 (4.1.2), so i'm not new to jellybean at all. but, i am new to 4.2.1. is that quick settings pulldown thingy new to 4.2.1 or is that nexus 7 feature that most roms have? i find it quite annoying since i usually use my right thumb to pull down the notification bar, but often find myself not reaching far enough left to avoid pulling down the settings bar. are there ROMs that give us the option of moving those settings widgets back to the notification menu or disabling the quick settings menu? im on AOKP and haven't seen it yet.
im really looking forward to trying out all the different roms that are available!
It's new to 4.2.1. Hope you like it.

Yea, setting up the drivers for it were a *****, had a hard time on two computers at work then used Wug's toolkit and installed the drivers manually. I did have to manually reboot into fastboot to install the drivers and reboot after all the drivers were all installed, but in the end that was the best way I found to do it; had no errors and it did warn that I may have to reboot for all to work correctly.

Go to the dev section and get the true tablet ui, and flash in custom recovery. The single notification/settimgs bar will be combined again, but at the bottom.

Welcome to the N7. I personally love the double pull down. Give it some time, it'll grow in you. In FD AFR I have the CM10.1 settings on my Galaxy Nexus to behave the same way. It takes a day or two to get used to it though

Hi friends.
When i have some free time,i browse browser's header on www.handsetdetection.com .
Today i have found this : Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.3; Nexus 4 Build/JWR23B) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.60 Mobile Safari/537.36
So in my opinion ,google should release this version before the key lime pie.
I hope they add AVRCP 1.3 support in this version. Google has really been dicking the dog on this one.
LOL, anyone can fake a Browser UA...

If this is true then we won't be seeing Android 5.0/Key lime pie at the Google conference. Not a big deal to me, I am happy with Jellybean . I would prefer Google to fix those issues [sensitivity, battery etc...] with JellyBean rather than unveiling a new android.

JB 4.3 sounds good to me until a N5 is released.
Save the big 5.0 release for a whole new phone to launch it on in Fall.
Android 5.0 on the Nexus-Five in November.

I don't really mind. I can wait for KLP, just wanna give Google some time to perfect it.
I really see no need to since its already vanilla android and theirs nothing wrong with this phone... if you have rooted and put a rom onto it why did you do it?

i think you meant 'custom rom' not 'stock rom' in the title
and i put cyanogenmod on my phone because of the extended functionality and settings whilst still having the vanilla experience.
Vanilla android is...plain. Some folks would like some added features on top of their dessert. I like my ice cream with some sprinkles and perhaps gummy bears on top of it. You feels me, bro?

built in pie control (i like it better than lmt), more configurations for the status bar including making it clear, ability to change lockscreen shortcuts without an app like widgetlocker, being able to add or delete whatever i want from the system/app folder, cpu and screen adjustments (kernel), ribbons (i like it better than sidebar), adaway, and a bunch of other reasons.
I rooted Samsung and HTC phones in the past just to get rid of (freeze) the crapware / bloatware that could not be disabled.
I have no need to root the Nexus 4 as it's fine just the way it is.
I was a flash-a-holic in the past but that phase passed. I think the last custom ROM I used was over a year ago on my Galaxy Tab 10.1

Mine is still unmolested, but I'm not sure how long that will last. I've had it for a month, but I miss some of the very simple additions like quick reply from status bar.
It gets credit for working perfectly out of the box, but there are some convenience features that I do want back.

If you go into about phone and tap android version several times you will get a large K. Tap on that a few times and you will get the KitKat logo. Any others discovered?
This Easter eggs is well known. This has varied from version to version since way back you could click the version repeatedly and get a graphic.... Just FYI. :thumbup:

If you do this and then when you get to the KitKat android logo tap and hold that and you will get a mosaic of all the android versions. You may have to repeat this twice to get the mosaic. Then you can move the squares around by tapping on them.

Cool I didn't know that!:good:
Just like with other Android versions, it adds it to Daydream. It's called Dessert Case. I find it interesting that when you pull the notification bar down, it is semitransparent. I like the look and wouldn't mind having it all the time.
