I need to see how the Nature UX UI looks like since I am making a theme for our phone. Can anyone please replicate the following pictures? I want to see how it looks like on your jelly bean phones... Thank you so much.!
Also, the popup that appears when you change media volume.
Any help is much appreciated.

Does firmware 4.1.2 allow support for multi window? I read somewhere that it does, along with a new gallery. Is this true?

so i got my s3 mini from a friend studying in dubai
phone was brand new in the box
looked legit
had all the right hardware specs and software and all packaged as expected
however
started looking at a few things in details for example the imei
there are a few websites where you can query your imei and see what output it gets
mine showed some other brand and model of phone
leading me to believe my phone is one of those cheap replicas
and yet the look and feel and performance seems legit

forum problem
Greetings all!
I am having a slight problem with the forum. I can't seem to stay logged in all the time, even if the box is ticked. From time to time I must reenter my credentials, and that is a [first world problem] I know but is there something others has experienced or is it just me?
On the side note, this occurs in latest stable Chrome, latest dev build chrome, as well as latest stable FireFox.
I never click the link to log out, I just close the tab/window. And it appears to be quite random too, that I must reenter my credentials.
Thoughts? Solutions?

What is this file being created?

Hey guys been looking for an answer but only found a thread on evo 3d forums that doesn't have much activity, anyways I keep getting this file created every hour or so and its really starting to scare me maybe spyware or something. Trying to figure out why and where its coming from. Also attached inside contents.

I would download Avast from Google Play and scan sdcard and apps. Not sure what it is. Looks like spam-ware.

Just noticed I scanned it when the file wasn't there. Maybe I'll wait till it gets created then I'll scan?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I found that in my phone the other day too. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't really do anything.

Could be a log file. I'm not sure what it is. I would scan again once it appears. Not sure if it is I needed file or not. I don't have a nex 4 but was looking into getting one that's why I'm at the forum.
You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

I suspect it's something to do with adverts in some app on your phone.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.

Unable to find camera awesome on Google play.

I have purchased camera awesome from Google play few months ago but now I noticed that I am no longer able to even find it. I am on purity rom 4.4.1. Problem is, my friend is on the same rom but he can find it with no problem on Google play. Only difference is he's not purchased it. Anything I might have missed? I tried emailing the Dev but there's no reply.

It's probably a region issue. Follow this link on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smugmug.android.cameraawesome&hl=en It will probably tell you that it isn't compatible with your nexus 4 for some reason. I normally find that this happens when I've recently updated my ROM to the latest version and the dev hasn't had a chance to catch up yet, but if your friend is on the same ROM I'm not sure why it would happen.

Did you change your phone dpi? It normally makes some apps incompatible with your phone which means even if you search they don't show up. Go back to stock dpi reboot. May be dirty flash the rom and you might find your app
I LOVE MY SLUTTY N4

Alright Changed back my dpi and it worked. Thanks guys!

STOCK Music App issue

I dont know if this has already been posted (im sure it has and mods can delete this if need be) but, the stock music app is a battery and RAM drainer and leaker, so much to the point where it cripples the phone into an unusable state. In order to fix this problem, i would recommend switching to Play Music, as it still has SD Card rights and doesnt generate this horrible problem. (This is what i am now doing) just wanted to inform anyone who didnt know/had the same problem i did!

Good to know that's it's definitely an issue in the application since we have Exynos version and you have Snapdragon.

Yeah, i was using the app for the first time yesterday during class, and it kept cutting out for no reason. I figured out the solution on the ride home. Play music seems to be working fine though! I dont know if Samsung can update it via samsung apps or play store or if it needs to be via OTA update, but they need to fix it.
