I'm pretty happy with stock 4.2.1 But this would make it that much better. Thanks!!
+1 to this! It would be very handy.

Here's a link to the galaxy nexus extended power menu zip.
I know that this is a thread for nexus 4 but maybe the 4.2 zip could work?
Or at least use the zip to make a port?
Good luck! :good:
Has anyone gotten around to having an APM APK for 4.2.2 Nexus 4?
I dont want to flash a rom just for this!
^^ Also Curious.
There are reboot apps in Play, i use Quickboot myself to have extended power menu options.

So I have my Nexus 4 I love it and everything is running well but I miss some of the advantages of having root. What are the biggest advantages of rooting the Nexus 4 what are the disadvantages? Can I gain root without unlocking the bootloader? I rooted only the Optimus V from virgin mobile is it all basically the same? Is there any known way to root without using a computer? Thanks for any input or suggestions you may have. it is really appreciated.

You can:
1. Install custom kernels and custom roms. (So you're telling me you only rooted the Optimus V and never installed kernels and roms?)
2. It's a different root method than the Optimus V.
3. You MUST unlock the bootloader to gain root access. Might as well unlock it. You won't needing it much unless you brick it somehow.
4. You need to root using a computer. It's not like the Optimus V, there is no special application to use to gain root.
5. The only disadvantage is you not taking advantage of it.
Here are two useful toolkits you can use to root the N4. It's very easy but if you know how to use fastboot then go right ahead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
one very big advantage of rooting is being able to install Adaway. Adaway is an app that removes ads from any other app and browser i think? that you download. If you play games like words with friends, adaway removes the ads and makes it more enjoyable to play.
The deal breaker for me is titanium backup. I used it to migrate /restore my data from my old phone. Now I know there are other apps that can do it without rooting but titanium backup is a one stop centre.

You'll have to revert back to stock to receive them. Or you can wait till a deodexed/odexed stock rom comes out.
For me rooting it is the only way to go. I wouldn't own a server without root and I see android in the same way.
Titanium Backup
Overclock and undervolt with a good kernel like Franco to save battery
AdAway
I would have to recommend going beyond just root and installing a custom ROM.
Being able to have 5 buttons instead of 3 is pretty nice. Xylon G+
Calibrating the screen requires root. Nexus 4 Display Control
I double tap my screen to turn it on. Touch Control
You can adjust the DPI essentially turning up the resolution.
I can't really see any reason not to root / ROM other than fear, as if you go with stable reliable ROMs, you're not gonna break anything, just don't run Antutu, I hear it red light bricks the N4.
One word
PIE
(assuming you'd flash a rom after rooting)

No. You need to unlock bootloader then root. That's the order to root the device. Unlocking the bootloader will erase everything on your phone.
This is a nexus device, most roms work very well and are on par if not better than stock.

I agree.
I had the Optimus V like two years ago. I really liked that phone because it had awesome battery life. But the development was total crap. There was either little or no work done on it. The software was just mediocre.
The roms and kernels in this forum are quite mature and perfect for daily use.

Download the program now and do the following.
Here's a video tutorial.
Please watch it first and get a feel of it first!
If you follow the tutorial, you should be fine. Do not miss a step. Most folks miss a step and they panic.

I know it's a Nexus 7 video but it's essentially the same for the N4.
And this is the Nexus 4 tutorial if you don't want to use the one above.

If you are rooted there are several apps in Play that add that option like Quickboot, Power Togggles and more.
Or flash a custom ROM e.g. CM10?

I installed both. The modaco option for power menu doesn't work. Other options work though, like battery percentage.
Any advice?

I have "Extended Power Menu" installed from the playstore and it works perfectly on 4.3 but you need to be rooted. I have SuperSU v1.45 installed for root.

I don't know about the app you mentioned, but there were a couple of apps in the N4 Apps & Themes forum which did this - but it seems they work for 4.3 only.
As mentioned, there are apps which work via Exposed framework which will do what you are looking for (though bear in mind Exposed needs the Dalvik not Art, runtime).
Another good option is to try some ROMs - most of the popular ones have extensive UI customisation, such as battery, clock, navigation bar (the one at the bottom).
Download a ROM and its Gapps (eg AICP ROM and its Gapps, which I use and I can recommend, it's a good place to start)
Reboot into recovery.
Backup your current ROM (creates an image you can restore if you don't like the new ROM)
Wipe: data/system/cache/dalvik. NOT internal storage
Install the ROM and its Gapps
Reboot and begin to setup your phone
If you have Titanium Backup Pro or similar, you can restore all your user apps and data to the new ROM. Generally not recommended to restore system apps or data.
It may sound like a lot of effort to get a battery icon, but you also get a better ROM (faster, better battery and highly customisable UI). With the backup you took, if you don't like your new ROM, all you need to do is:
Go into Recovery,
Wipe data/system/dalvik/cache
Restore the backup
Reboot
Read the title..
How to install?
• Boot to recovery
• Flash the N6 Sounds.zip
• Reboot!
All done
If you dont like Nexus 6 sounds, just flash "Revert to stock.zip".
or if you want to have both of Nexus 6 and Stock sounds, just flash "N6&Stock Sounds Merged.zip".
Thank you. Download it now, and flash it
