Hello,
I was wondering if eye scrolling and some other S4 features can be ported to the nexus.
If possible, it would be amazing to use!
I think yes, but question is are you so lazy that you wont even lift a finger to scroll? ...
Leap Motion would be cool!
Have you tried the motion scrolling stuff on the S4? It's not that impressive. Learning curve is steep. And once you get the hang of it, you'll realize that it's still infinitely easier to just scroll with your finger.

The Nexus 4 lacks the hardware it needs to do so. Thus, it's highly unlikely that feature will be on the N4.

Try eating a grilled chicken with both hands and reading a text on your phone
Edit: And yes, I tried scrolling with my nose but it looks ridiculous and hurts my back

So it is in Germany. But sometimes I have to eat alone which is very boring when not using my phone meanwhile.

The S4 uses the front camera to provide that functionality, so the Nexus 4 has the hardware to provide that fuction.
That function is not a goal. Around light must by strong, face exactly before the phone. You will rather scroll through your fingers.

Hey guys, I have an att galaxy s3. I'm using an aokp ROM on it, and I really like it. I'd like a phone with a slightly smaller screen though, and for the price of the nexus 4 I think I need to get one. Is anybody else coming from an att s3 and what are some of your reasons?

You do know the screen size difference is 0.1"? I guess that qualifies as slightly smaller
thank youu
Yes .1 smaller and on screen keys make it smaller too.

Going from a S3 to a Nexus 4? Same size phone, IPS screen. Don't know why you would bother unless it's going to be a beater.
From the looks of it the phone looks much more elegant than the s3. I'm tired of having my phone creak all the time. And official Google sounds really nice especially after using my nexus 7. Aokp Roms on s3 are nice but mine all have issues

I'm coming from a T-Mobile S3. I don't think I will notice that much of a difference in screen size. The AOSP/AOKP roms were always a little buggy and had bad battery life on my S3 compared to the touchwiz roms. And since I hate TW and love vanilla Android, the Nexus 4 made a lot of sense.

Exactly. I have bad battery life as well with aokp. Only way to fix it is by flashing kernels but I have to do that every update and its just getting way too crazy to have aokp + more than 2hr screen on time. And with aokp my phone is always so hot. Nexus 4 sounds pretty good.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I am. My reasons why?
-Pure Google
-Quad-Core
-No more buggy ROMS
-Latest and greatest Updates
-More elegant in my taste
-More dev support
-More customization (easier bootloader to unlock, and as I said before, the dev support will be ahead of the game)
-WORLD PHONE. Going to be graduating this year.. If I travel for college or etc, my phone is always reliable.
I'm coming from a Sprint S3. Ideally, I think I'd like to try another S3 of the GSM variant. But I will probably be getting the new Nexus.
I'm seriously debating it myself. I love my nexus 7...my first Nexus device. I love my S3...just not sure what the real benefits would be. I love AOKP but putting that on the nexus, wouldnt that be defeating the purpose?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay with the s3...just because of the non removable battery. Maybe I wouldn't need to switch batteries but my battery life blows on my S3.

Same. Battery sucks on my S3. But I think that is due to bad LTE signal in my area.
Its so tempting. I love my Nexus 7...although that's different. I don't know. I will have to seriously sleep on this...for a few days. I love my S3...so if its not broke why fix it?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Couldn't you guys just sell your S3 for roughly the same price as a Nexus 4? Local listings where I'm at seem to be in the $300 range. Of course you'd lose out on LTE, but hey.
Definitely could. Just not sure I want to yet.

its the hardware, and maybe some proprietary bits in the software.
I thought with the s4 pro we were at the point we had more power than was needed to run our phones at top speed though. Was I wrong?

there are always optimizations that can make thing a little better. most of the optimizations(like dalvik) on nexus phones would be propritary. plus the cpu is a more recent revision(among other things).

I agree. Android should be optimised for the Nexus range ONLY, like Apple do with iOS. Only then will it ever be a perfectly smooth experience.
If other companies wanna put out 15 Android phones a year, then they should do their own optimisations to ensure it runs properly.

They do do their own optimizations... they optimize their Android manufacturer skins (TouchWiz, HTC Sense, etc)
It may feel faster but that's only cos of the transitions HTC have added in, they have minimised many that are in stock android and sped up a few as well, thus overall giving the illusion that it runs faster :L

Its probably the software HTC uses. Try the S4 Touch wiz launcher on the Nexus 4. Really smooth. Smoother than the stock one

That's bs. Any truthful Nexus 4 owner will tell you that there's still lag and slowdowns here and there. If Google had more ex-engineers from apple then we'd probably have better software *cough* camera.

The HTC One is a beautiful device. It's specs are amazing. I just wish it didn't have to cost over $500-$600. It would be sweeter if HTC makes the next Nexus smartphone.

I'd have to avoid it. I hate HTC. My phone LCD cable stops working and you know what they told me?

Yes because software breaks your display cable. And thats when I ran it over with my truck

Well they had their turn with the first one... supposedly right now it's between Motorola and LG. It would be weird if it was LG again, from what I heard before Google liked to switch from manufacturer to manufacturer for promotional purposes.

That's alright, but my two year old can build a better case than that.

Best Nexus evar
In before the lock
I will say after owning a note 3 and going back to the nexus 5 i was so happy when i found out the nexus 6 was going to be a big screen. Yes i can't one hand text and do many things i could with a smaller phone but being able to read desktop pages on the internet. the big screen is a godsend and i love it. With decryption off (Crappy SW version google put in instead of HW backed) it really does fly.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this device!
Oh good I thought the bend jokes had died. Thank God someone brought it back.
