Neat finds on the N4 - Nexus 4 General

Go to Settings > About device > keep tapping Android version
Press and hold the android jellybean..
Watch all the android jellybeans take over your screen..
And you can throw/swipe them around.
Anyone have any neat finds they'd like to share?
Note: I am aware that many know about this, but for those who did not know.. enjoy!!

Tap the build number multiple times and you unlock the developer tools
Nexus 4G

The tapping of the android version is old. The Dev mode is semi new. A neat one is if you hold your phone just right the glass cracks. That's my favorite. Also if you toss it in to a pond it floats. Try it out!

No flaming please.
Thank you

Haha.. Believe it or not this is new news to quite a few people. Just check my other 2 threads I created for the SGSIII. We all have to start somewhere.

The good place to start before posting things is "Search" button.

You should take a peek at the troll thread in the evo 3d forums. Trolling like its going out of style.

I just came from an evo3d... Hmmm... Also, how was that flaming mod?

Does tapping version only work on 4.1? Nothing happens with stock 4.2.1

Stupid question but how do you undo being a developer after pressing the build number? Or I'd it not possible?
Many thanks, Blewk

Don't think you can. There is an on/off switch in the developer options menu, but that just makes everything in there go grey and un-clickable. You should leave it on anyway and enable 'force GPU rendering'.

Cheers mate, what will this do? Improve battery life? My phone doesn't really get hot like many complain about nor does it lag xD

Remember to tap the "Build number" line, it should say JOP40D. If you tap it a couple times it'll say "tap X more times to activate developer mode" or something like that.

Made my day LOL
Hahahahaha
O.O..Sorry if my english is bad and make you funny but mine is a serious question..
I think that the hardware of vibration is not set up correct in my phone and take me the sensation i described in the first post.
Any serious answer?
Now that you mention it...
I don't think it's a hardware fault. It's probably meant to happen.
knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

Mate, mine does the same thing. Sometimes if I knock it gently in my pocket I think it's vibrating for a new sms or email!
I think all that is inside our phones is just a giant spring
It's the same for mine too, and it was the same on my old Nokia as well. Never really worried me, springs must be what people want these days....
yup same here. completely normal on all sgs

That's a pretty good, in depth review. The best part is he covers a lot of areas that the others do not.

Definitely seems like the software was rough, look at how the widgets keep disappearing.
Screen tear, nowt to worry about. Can't wait to feel that hardware in my hands.

I find the review pretty bad to be honest. He didn't double finger scroll down the notification bar, and he said you needed 1 more step vs the other LG model.
Since JB/ICS I never been able to long press homescreen to add widgets...
The display size on the Nexus 4 is 4.7 inches INCLUDING the menu buttons or EXCLUDING menu buttons?
Won't stop me from getting the phone despite the fact that i'm not too into the 3 menu screen button.
The buttons are on screen, so part of the 4.7.

It seems like his review unit is running the oldest software we have seen so far, even photosphere is missing.
Phone seems very smooth and fast looking at this ... but was I the only one who got bored of the guy talking lol

New Daydream mode?

I came across this by just screwing around. I think all android phones have this little easter egg
Go to the about phone/tablet section then where it says 4.2.1 tap it repeatedly until it the little jellybeans show up.
back out of that
now you can go into the daydream mode and youll see Beanflinger as an option. im probably way too late on finding this out but in case people were curious i didnt really find anything with a quick search on beanflinger

lol! im going to go flick my bean now
I thought it was pretty neat! I think all the way back to my gingerbread days has that where you can hammer down on the version and it will show a little something or other related to the name of the OS.

Bump! on the G3; Looks Promising

We've been waiting on the g3 devs, working hard on unlocking it, in the hopes it'll bring something nice for us as well. How promising do you guys think Bump! looks?
The g3 Thread
Anyone have any thoughts?

I'm not sure what thoughts you want?
Is it promising on the g3 then yes it works great for them. Is it promising on the flex then as it's been said a couple times there's already one being tested/working, but waiting to be fine tuned and i believe the devs want to get the website to bump images built before releasing it. Playfulgod has said in his thread he's running twrp and I'm running it too so be patient it's coming.
Just get ya the g3 and bump the the flex 4 realz yo!

I only hope Lollipop come up with some miracle screen tweeks which will make our screen looks as clean as any other 720p mobiles. then all the d-fused will be fused again other then the weak screen, G flex is just perfect. perfect curve's, perfect in hands, and on top of all its a centre of attraction.
i could not use G3 for more then 2 days because of the dull colors OS. and everything looks so flat so what if it's 4K
LONG LIVE THE FLEX

on my flex i found that if you bump the screen brightness to around 80%, it looks night and day different. the bat takes a little bit but not bad.
But i cant take brightness more then 40-% creates irritation

Which revision do you have? I'm on the newer one, and only after having it for five months, have I begun to notice the slightest bit of an issue. I guess after getting used to it, or possibly burning in the home buttons, have I noticed image retention. And on the new rev, the screen looks really nice at a high brightness, plus the battery is equipped to take it on. And after washing my screen, that bit of burn in from the Nav bar is gone! Good as new.
Also, what even became of this thread???
guess it died cuz bump works now

LG G 4 camera. Is it even possible?

Every now and our great devs give us ability to install ported cameras from other devices (HTC, Motorola etc.)
I was wondering if its even possible to port camera from LG G4? Had this phone shortly between Note 3 and my current Note 4 , and its by far the best camera app I've ever seen on a cell phone (imho).
I actually have another G4 available that my wife is using, so if I can help to make this happen l would be more than happy to.
No, I don't think so.. different system files probably won't be compatible...

Yes, correct - but next time don't tag a Moderator - simply click the report button in the upper right of the OP (the little yield sign) and we'll swoop in and clean things up.
