I have a Nexus S boot animation (the materializing, multi-color "X") on my Droid X2. Someone was nice enough to make a qHD version of it, so the particles come right from the edges of the screen rather than there being a 1/4" gap on both sides.
I just thought it would look even better, if it were to be turned 90 degrees and use the whole screen. I have seen other landscape boot animations, but I don't want to hold my phone sideways to see them. It would just be cool if the particles came from the top and the bottom instead of the whole animation happening in the middle third of the screen.
Not sure if this is more complicated that editing each image in the sequence, but it's certainly over my head. Anyone feeling bored and generous. Thanks in advance.
Can you post the qhd one that you have please?

I would give credit where credit is due, but cannot remember where I got it from.

Were you asking so that you could work on it, or were you just interested in the one I currently have?
Does something like this exist? I think it looks really cool and would be neat to try out.

And not with the edge swiping gestures, but you could try widget locker. It's the only thing I can think of from back when I still used lock screens.

Even with widget locker I'd still need the widget with that functionality, that's what I'm looking for, but thank you for your reply.
What functionality are you looking for? Common inbox? Fast shortcuts to most used apps? It's hard to tell what you're looking for exactly. Alternatively, I'm sure once the GNex images are out there someone will port in some form whatever is worth porting.

The orb thing in the center. Sorry for not specifying.
This looks like something that might interest you.

Hey guys, I've been using CyanogenMod 10 since approximately 5 hours after I got my Nexus 4. CM10 doesn't have the yellow wallpaper that comes with the Nexus 4 and I can't find it anywhere except in a very low resolution. Does anyone happen to have it?

Thanks, but this has the same problem. It's not HD and looks petty grainy on my screen.

Use image 2 wallpaper app. Wallpaper is perfectly ok.

How about this one?

That worked. Thanks to you both!
Correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot seem to find a way to change the home screen grid size. Is there a way to do it on this phone using ARHD? Would love to squeeze out a bit more real estate.

Haven't seen a way to change it. I think there was a mod in the themes and apps section that did this though. Might have to dig a bit for it though.

Its one of those things that is just so ridiculous. When you buy a phone with on-screen buttons its so obvious that the actual screen won't be as big as a phone with the same screen size but hard buttons. How is this difficult to understand for so many people is beyond me.
The main purpose of on-screen buttons is to allow for a flexible and dynamic navigation not to maximize screen space.
Default size for navbar is the issue, indeed it look ridiculous and rather goofy IMHO. Luckily custom ROMs allow it to be shrunken or removed and replaced with pie.

Yes, though I myself was disappointed, moving from a 4.0 inch (with the buttons not on the screen( to a 4.3 inch device (with the buttons taking screen space), and seeing very little difference.
PIE/custom ROMs are the workaround, but for "most" users, the workable screen area is not what is implied.

was kinda disappointed how much they take space the nav bar buttons on stock...but again at the same time i just got used to it..simple really..and with XDA well you know how awesome these guys are
@GAMBLER - the reason of crating a separate thread is actually beyond me and not people being different and having different preferences and different needs. So I don't really understand what's your point, as people can decide better what's good and what's not for themselves and with android they have plenty of options to change things the way they want it. Also its only software buttons so you can do whatever you want with them, if everyone was complaining about the hardware buttons taking space then it would be different story

I think it's ok, but the black space around the keys are a waste... there's a lot of pixel lines to take away from the nav bar...
I like it, it makes the phone much easier to use. My same sized One X with it's lower down capacitive buttons would become uncomfortable after a while of repetitive thumb moving.

Its a forum for discussion, his topic is related to Nexus 4 and is general. It doesnt matter if he wants to talk about a nexus 4's processor/ram/camera or the shape of the fingerprint he found on the screen, i think he's entitled.

It would be very interesting if they made a transparent nav bar where maybe buttons pop up when you press them or the symbols float over the app.. Or maybe the symbols are floating but with an inverted color scheme like the windows XP inverted mouse o.o

@younix yes your are absolutely right it is forum and it is for discussion. But what I don't like is the generalisation and the tone. If it was written in a different way maybe then it would be perfectly fine as it would invite for discussion.
Also it's best when ideas are supported by some facts and not just bashing something without concrete support.
But then again its my opinion and whether you agree or not its up to you.

Well I can see WHY people are concerned with the buttons taking up real-estate, but I don't agree with it. I'd much rather have the on-screen buttons rather than the alternative: hard buttons.
And I get the concerns that the stock buttons are too large. I kind of agree, however I'm pretty used to it so I'm indifferent about any changes. Right now I'm using PIE anyway.
I think it would look nice if they take away the black background (make it fully transparent) and separate the buttons.
The transparency would give a feel of a bigger screen, and we'd still have the buttons, circle/square or whatever shape, separated from one another, as if they're floating over the wallpaper.

Because it consumes the space of the display yet the phone still looks like it was meant to have capacitive buttons below. (That huge space below that is ruled by a small led light!? Hell lg or google can place that damn led light near the sensors)
I'm going to buy a nexus 4 soon . but I don't think it will take much place. I hope I'm right..

The first thing I did after rooting and installing custom ROM was reducing the navbar size
Stock navbar is ugly as hell !

I have mine 85% transparent and 65% of normal height. It doesn't look right transparent when using an app though so only when on the launcher.

Almost every custom ROM I've seen lets you change the nav bar height. Others will let you change the colour and set transparency.
This is really easy, if you don't like onscreen buttons, don't buy a nexus.
I never understood all the complaining about the onscreen buttons also, for the people that don't like it, I will suggest to get another phone.

I prefer capacitive buttons on a phone or mini tablet. Maybe its just what I am use to. In didn't fancy the nav bar on my n7 and I really didn't care for pie controlls. On my note 10.1 I think they work flawless andthe screen is so large that I don't feel I am missing anything. I don't understand why people hate capacitive buttons if you don't like them you are not forced to use them. But it's ok we all have preference and neither is right or wrong but just an opinion.
