[Q] [Nexus 4] - Stock ROM (4.2.1) - [Questions]

Hello Friends,
Finally i got my Nexus 4 (Amazing!!!)
Anyway , i have few question regarding the phone , functionality.
1. By Native - the Home-screen comes with 5 screens .
Is there anyway to decrease the amount of screen?
2. The "recent apps" screen contain many apps.
Is there anyway to close them all instead of 1 by 1?
3. I have seen on a custom ROM , there is an option to add additional buttons (back/recent apps/menu etc...)
Is it anyway to add the same?
Anyway this is what i have found on a stock rom.
Thanks in Advance.

For number of home screens, you can add a custom launcher - Nova, for example. It's even faster than stock and much more customizable. You can't do much with stock launcher, though. But it's my favourite.
However, you must flash a custom ROM in order to use a "close all" in recents, or maybe there's an app for that, I don't know.
For custom navbar, custom ROM is your answer as well. But not every ROM, CM10.1 probably has it, or AOKP...

[Noob Time] Why FLash To CM 10.1 ?

Good Evening Dudes
I'm just introduced on this section and it's first time than i ve had a stuff like this awesome samsung
Smooth Fast Strong And God ! it's the beautifull customisable stock rom (it's really beautifull to compare with htc stock rom)
well the question is not here and the target also
i've never had the oppotunitities to try a CM 10.1 on any device Htc desire x hasnt official CM and not possible to port CM10.1 cauz Htc doesnt provide the kernel source.... damn
(it's was juste for put in situation)
What's the real interest -Gain can i expect with the CM10.1 on the Galaxy S4 ?
Whith this rom it's sound interesting to put a custom kernel also.
what can we do with cm 10.1 than we cannot with a stock rom ?
Yeah a know , i can make a backup on my stock rom , flash the cm 10.1 try and if doesnt like it restore to the backuped stock.
Thanks for your time
If you had any other suggestion better than the CM 10.1 (i know it s on nightlies sound like equal as alpha but
topic is open :s

Well the Stock ROM is pretty much as bloated as a whale. CM is only 200MB in size, so first of all it will save space on your internal memory. Second of all, you won't have a lot of processes running in the background like you do now, your phone will be a LOT more responsive. Ofcourse, as with any custom ROM, there will be some bugs and those ROMs will need testing and updates (that's why nightlies exist). But eventually there will be stable versions and imo, it'll beat the stock any day. On the other hand, the stock ROM has some functions like the IR blaster, the smart-pause, smart-scroll and hover function, etc. If you're a big fan of those things, stick with your Stock ROM. But if you would like to a clean, simple, bloat free and faster experience than you have now, a custom ROM is a great way to achieve it. But that's not the only thing ofcourse, CM also has some extra functions and customization options you won't find in your stock ROM, you can tweak your system quite a lot and there are some things I couldn't live without (for example swapping your menu key for your recent apps switcher, and putting the menu function on the long press ).

Thanks a lot
Sound really interesting
CM 10.1 it's more in touch with i'm looking for
The actual build of CM 10.1 can be used on a basic day usage ? or it's better to wait a few days ?
If i flash the cm now ? need also to flash another kernel or just flash the zip by philw touch recovery ?
can i come back to my stock backuped rom after if i want ? with the restore function of philz touch recovery ?

I'm using Philz Recovery too and yes you can flash CM10.1 from there (I have the latest build from June 12th on it). Before you flash, make your sure you wipe/factory reset your phone in Philz Recovery. You might also need to flash the CM10.1 rom 2 or 3 times (the second time it usually works), on the first try it always gives a Status 7 error (don't worry). Look at the thread for the Offical CM10.1 Nightlies, there's a lot information there!
It's working pretty good for me, I haven't found any major bugs so far. Just make sure you make a Nandroid backup in Philz Recovery first (and store it your external SD card for safety and to save space ofcourse ). You can always return to that backup through the restore function in Philz Recovery yes.
Also, if you update your CM10.1 with a new nightly build (for example next week, or next month), do it manually and flash it in the recovery each time. Updating it from the Settings->About->Cyanogenmod Updates menu bricked my phone today, so I guess there is still a bug there. Besides that, there are no issues what so ever according to me.

last question before the first try
With the original Cm we need to flash gapps separately or it's inside the rom ?
If external suppose to take the last release on goo

If I remember correctly you need to flash it separately

How to Access Quick Settings on Nexus 4? Stock ROM Unlocked and Rooted

Hello,
I want that quick toggles setting (That right swap, with your finger) like an Custom ROM.
But now I want it on my Stock ROM on my Nexus 4, the phone is Unlocked en Rooted.
Like: Drag down the notification panel with 2 fingers to see quick settings. - Now I would like to do it with one finger to the right side.
Many Thanks..

Hi,
On stock ROM it's basicly not possible. After the Xposed framework is out for KitKat, you can install GravityBox to edit toggles in quick settings, but I'm not sure about dropping from right/left side.
Cheers, msihp.

Hi,
Oke thanks my friend.
I will try that out.
PS: Your English is better than me!
Bye!

ROM noob here, first post - Have several questions about Omni ROMs

Hello all.
I recently unlocked and rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (the first time I've done this) and flashed this ROM to it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532320
The ROM seemed quite glitchy, the quick toggles were not working correctly and eventually one day when I tried to turn on my phone, it got stuck in a boot loop. I then flashed back to stock using the Nexus Root Toolkit. I still wanted a custom ROM, so I then flashed this ROM to my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427087
This ROM is almost completely working, but I have some issues with it. For example, some of the quick toggles do not work correctly. My data toggle does not change when I short press it, the bars just stay orange (screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/vpOgpBe.png) Could someone tell me what this means? Is it supposed to be like this? I would assume that short pressing the data toggle is supposed to turn mobile data on or off, correct? The quick toggle settings are a standard feature across all Omni ROMs, right?
I also cannot get an internet connection over data now either. My MMS messages have also not been working since I installed the Fork My Life ROM.
Some other minor issues I have with the ROM is that when I short press the location toggle, it will sometimes close the quick settings window.
Should I post about these problems in the ROM's thread? Are any of the above normal happenstances in an Omni ROM? This is my first post on XDA so please cut me some slack.

Maybe someone can answer your other general Omni questions, but yes, if there's bugs in an unofficial modified OmniROM, those should probably go in that ROM's thread. Is the bug caused by Omni or the modifications? Since it's not stock Omni, we err on the side of caution and go with it's the modifications.

Which custom ROM to use?

Hi guys,
I need to update my phone as my current setup is having Bluetooth issues - and I read it happens on Android 4.3, but is fixed in 4.4 onwards.
I need a ROM which allows the following fixes:
1) Bypass security settings on emails that require you to put a PIN/Password to unlock your phone every single time.
2) Remove messages from the call log. Not sure if this was fixed in the newer android versions but it was very annoying when I first got my phone. I only want to see calls in my call log.
Can anyone recommend a ROM which will allow these fixes? I don't need any other features - just need something as light as possible.
Cheers

Wanam Xposed has the second option, you can use it on any stock based ROM, at the same time Arya Mod is the best TouchWiz based ROM available in my opinion, but it is by no means light. About the first option, I think Arya has that too, but not at all sure.

Thanks mate, will keep that in mind if I cant find a lighter a ROM.
Does anyone know of a light ROM which will do the above?

Temasek cm roms are pretty good.

Norma N5 Port V15, Phronesis V4.1 good, i tested. MinimalOS is very fast and light but need some apps for default messages, etc

Hi guys,
I just noticed Wanam Xposed has the option to bypass exchange security. Therefore, I want to find a light ROM which is based on Android 4.4 or higher, and has the ability to use Wanam Xposed. What ROM would I be best to use?
Alternatively, could I just install the newest stock ROM, and then root it and install Wanam Xposed?
Cheers

The last time i read in order for xposed to work on lollipop, it has to be deodexed. Try multiX by tkari4. It's the only KK rom left supported here.

I second Temasecks Rom. It's Great.

I'm using Pronesis Rom ported from Note 5.
I think it's good enough, there are a few bugs but everything works great. I would recomend you to use this rom.

ALEXNDR Roms are great too if you dont want a custom rom that makes your android look like nothing.

I'm using Dark AU rom found on Samsungviet website, very stable even more than stock imho. It's a Note 5 rom ported for Note 3.
This rom has none of the issues you've mentioned. If you want to bypass security try using google's smart lock feature build into lollipop. If you want to open anything from the lock screen you will always need to unlock
