Hello all! I just bought me an Nexus 4 and the first thing I noticed was that there are wallpapers, live wallpapers and also "touchwiz" (from Samsung) wallpapers to choose from. I find this kinda weird and my question is of course if it's supposed to be like this?
I'm figuering I have got my hands on a returned phone that someone have flashed a custom rom too and the store have no idea..

Definitely used.

Well go into about phone and see if it's on a custom ROM or stock. If it's on a custom ROM, then it's definitely used.
Also if in the settings are options that usually aren't available on stock then it's used.
This is what it will say if stock

Hey I have the cm10 nightly rom and i was wondering if there was any way to change the color or images of the soft keys to something different.
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can do it by replacing the images in the systemui.apk or might be able to do it through a theme as well.

Pull it to your PC, add a .zip behind it, edit, remove the .zip

This a link for a simple how to! If you want to pull systemui will need a apk tool. You can do search on that. I hope this helps.

One of my favorite guys for all things Android. Should work the same on your nexus 7 as his Galaxy Nexus. Maybe not the Exact same thing but similar concept and a good start.
P.S. you could also just flash aokp and it should be in settings.

I would love to see multi user on the nexus 4..I think it wouldn't be hard since it's already in 4.2... think it would make sense for doing different setups like different launcher, icon packs, theme etc..I wonder if it's just a line or lines of code to turn it on and/ or is any body up for the challenge!!?

Multi-user support is only available on tablets. Nokia has a patent on multi-user support on phones.
I am sure a build.prop edit can fix it.

Well its only for tablets, I think the reason for that being tablets are more family and sharing, whereas phones are a personal device. Why would you want to share your phone?

I don't see anything in build.prop specifically disabling multi-user mode. Looks like I was wrong.

Bored, trolling or no way to imagine use cases when multi-users may be handy?
If I want to show something to a client on my Nexus 4 (or any other device) without providing access to my apps and data?

If I'm willing to give it to my 3-4 years offspring for a video or a game, without risking my contacts, notes, mails?

This is the only reason I would need it, but it is a good one. If my 5 year old wants to watch a movie or play a game I wouldn't have to worry about her screwing up my home screen or deleting apps like she has been known to do.
I believe Paranoid to be the answer. That's if you don't mind rooting.
Great example above and the most used I'm sure.

He did this one, but as far as I know he only gave patches to be applied when building the ROM for the device, so most people weren't able to use them

I just bought nexus device. My old phone was s3 mini and since I used cyanogenmod whole time I'm asking which ROM based on stock Android is best for it.
Guessing that we have official releases of all Roms because this phone is just awesome it will be harder to choose

Actually Nexus 4 doesn't have more ROMs than Galaxy S3 for instance. Most developers moved to Nexus 5
Haven't tried all of them, but they are all mostly similar in terms of performance, it's the customization that is different in each ROM.
I'm on PA 4+ because it's the closest thing in terms of Stability to STOCK rom
There is no "best" ROM out there. All have there ups and downs. Threads like these are no allowed on XDA
