I had the last rom toolbox (Liberty Toolbox), it just got updated. The whole app has new look, more tool, and just freaking awsome.
It replaces the top 10 tools you can currently get. I'm not saying saying forget about those guys, but instead of having 2 ROM Tools, or 2 App Backup Tools, you can have all the top ones, then this as your one-stop. This one apps has EVERY possible tool you can think off. I mean it, every tool.
Nice interface, snappy ui, easy to navigate too. It's worth the 5$. I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm not affiliated with the app at all, but this is something that every android used should have in their phone.
Heres some of the things:
Rom Manager
-You can download/update Rom things, i.e. SU app.
App Manager
-Backup/Freeze/Uninstall/Move to SD/Share etc..
-Come pre-sorted, System, user, etc..
Root Explorer
-Full features, Tar/Zip, search, Permissions, everything
Scripter
-Make your own, or use presets
AdBlocker
-Block Ads, Porn, Casion, Risky, Custom IP, individually
Configure Apps2SD
-Auto, Internel, etc
CPU Sliders
-Governor, CPU Min/Max
Build.prop
-Tweaks, Editor
Auto Memory Manager
-Min/Free Values
SD Boost
-Set Read/Write
Sysctl Tweaks
-Min Free Kbytes, Dirty Ratio, etc
Font Installer
-150+ to Choose From
Boot Animations
-100+ to choose from
Boot Logo Changer
-200+ to choose from
Theme Chooser Themes
-Hundreds to Choose From
I have the Pro, there is a free edition if you want to test it first.
Let me know your thoughts!
-Maniac
I have the free version, and I agree, the app is great. I like adjusting my screen density and fonts, and having just one app to do the both of those is good enough, but with all of the added abilities granted through the app, it's definitely one to pick up.
@Maniac - dude what features are working well on your T959D? Can you download OTA ROMs through it.
I know this is old, but just to add my two cents, the pro version is the first tool I have bought for my rooted EVO 4g, it has more bells and whistles than I use, but that wont mean I wont, it is just the tool has more in it than I currently understand the use of, so as I learn more, I am sure it will prove even more valuable as it has at my level of knowledge already.
BUMP
The whole app is going through a major rewrite process currently, and is becoming even better with each update!
Just changed my font using ROM Toolbox.
It's powered by ANDROID 4.1..1 JellyBean AOKP ran by Devil Kernel 1.6.0
Yea ROM toolbox is awesome with a great developed behind the wheel

Can someone please post screen shots of non native tablet apps on the N10?
(Phone apps on the N10)
Also could you post screens shots of the Web browser in portrait and landscape.
Thank you.
Speedtest's app is a great example of a horrible looking phone app (tablet isn't nearby or I'd upload a screenshot). I mean it looks good and works, but it doesn't scale, at all. On the other hand, it isn't blown up like Google's Translate app. Not sure which I prefer
Do all phone apps look ugly on the N10?

I have only had my N10 for less than a week, but for the most part, have been plesantly surprised how well the device scales almost any app. I was expecting ugly jaggies icons but that did not happen. Even scalling transcoded (640x360) videos look good. Of course HD videos (720p, 1080p) look fantastic.
There are exceptions to the rule but for me this is a non-issue.
You can also replace the ugliest icons with higher quality ones using one of the many customization apps on the Play store (e.g. "Icon Changer"). If you want to go extreme use one of the many custom roms that support theming and apply a theme with high quality icons and you will not be disappointed.
For just one example among many, I use the CM 10.1 based, Sintinel ROM 4.0 and installed "Theme Chooser Themes" from the Playstore. Then used "Theme Chooser Themes" to peruse many themes eventually picking "Crystal 2" to download and install. The process was quick and easy.
"Theme Chooser Themes" specifically supports CM10 and AOKP based custom ROMs. You need to be unlocked and rooted to install a custom ROM. If you want to stay stock then there are many customization/theming apps on the play store some of which can be used without rooting.
I hope this info helps.
I think apps only look bad when they won't work in landscape mode.
That is my criteria for accepting an app

Hey guys.
So today, I am a proud owner of a new LG Nexus 4 after a lot of research. Unfortunately, I've never owned an Android phone, nor am I familiar at all with the Nexus 4's more intricate settings or may have over looked little useful trinkets and such. So for a completely new user (to both Android and N4), what are your best tips, configs and settings? Any must know shortcuts or advice? (I realize that there's a sticky for useful Android apps, but if there are any "must-haves" for the N4)
Thanks in advance for your advice guys.
explore man.. configs and settings are very personal things.. and what one person likes is vastly different from other person.. so develop your likes and dislikes in settings.. its not something you can copy from others..
For a start, I'd recommend syncing your contacts info on Gmail so that when you try out other roms wiping you don't need to restore one by one.
ROM wise, its always wise to use something close to stock, like Cataclysm.
Kernel wise, franco's kernel is always one of the many favourites of the N4 users, try it out too.
Above is for rooted users.
If you're not rooted, you're missing lots of fun.
Try out some games in the app store. And some cross platform chatting apps such as Whatsapp and Line, some handy GPS app like Waze, a decent movie player that plays everything like MX Video Player.
Explore! Try out some nice launchers out there, although GO Launcher is not for experienced XDA people, non-rooted users might find it sweet to customize. With 2GB ram and top-notch technologies in your hands, try out everything.
Hi all!
As probably many of You I love stock android for its stellar performance, smoothness and neat simple design. With that being said I still like some HTC features and stock stability. Maybe we could find a developer to make a google play edition like rom for our M9?
This is how I see it:
2.10.401.1 stock 5.1 rom base
vanilla / google like navbar
vanilla status bar / quick setting
vanilla multitasking cards ( with translucent navbar and with full size google search bar )
vanilla statusbar icons / centered clock / percentage batery indicator (like in htc sense)
extended vanilla settings app
google now launcher / nova / sense home
stock google dialer
messenger sms app
android m calculator
google keyboard app
htc camera app
htc gallery app
htc status bar
htc or google lockscreen
stock 5.1 bootanimation
debloat / performance / battery / camera improvements
I'm new to building roms/porting stuff but i think that most of the things needed already exists. Maybe we could find a developer keen on building this google play edition like rom so that we could have one
Let me know if and of You would be intrested to help me build one or if You like this idea

Pretty sure viper had a desense install option and one of the SD team roms claim to be desensed as well. One of those might be worth a look.
Thats true but unfortunately it's nothing like stock experience. 'Desensed' viper is still sense based, with sense navbar, sense settings, multitasking, quick settings etc. Desense option just delete sense launcher and some bloatware.
I'll collect files needed to build my 'dream' vanilla rom and maybe one day someone will cook it with me.
You can pretty much do all that you want to do with Viper, you can change the navbar to whatever you want with themes, the multitasking is selectable with sense, you can theme the status bar like stock, the quick settings and settings are pretty much stock like already. Once you install Now launcher and the Google apps, you would have a pretty much Nexus looking device with a few extras. Many have done this already. It's not worth trying to get someone to build another ROM while what you want already exists.

well.. I couldn't find even one theme that changes statusbar icons/navbar to stock android.. also there is no theme that could change feel of the quick settings, pure one works quite different. I've also found themes to slow down the phone and it stutters there and there even without them.. Multitasking cards that htc offers are also a bit different than pure google ones - navbar is not completely translucent, cards often dont show app content.. also those horrible settings dots placed next to the google search bar.
I generally believe that there is space for one more rom, especially that there is no oven one google play edition like rom right now.
I've attatched a few screenshots, the difference is.. critical IMO

Well it seems like cm is close and the only major bug left is that the camera doesn't work, so if you can live without that, you should try it out.

Did you ever try the viper rom? Doesn't sound like you did. Statusbar icons and stock android navbar can be found on the venom hub. The quick settings can be adjusted to your likes via venom tweaks. Never noticed any stutters on viper and card view always showed app content, too.
Edit: Or you combine CM with this xposed module. But as jollywhitefoot already said the camera doesn't work at the moment.
@jollywhitefoot - yes I'm basicly looking for a CM with a working camera, or to be exact for AOSP like rom.
@Flippy498 - I did.. viper was the first rom i flashed on my M9 , but i quickly switched to maximus because I ws looking for sth performing better. *note* I'm performance freak, I'm very picky, You might don't care about few droped frames - I do, and I see droped frames while opening multitasking on both viper and maximus ( only on card view ) It would this rom could have performance of the s6.
Anyway I'll give Viper a second chance and try Your tips, thanks

Man, for a "noob" you sure are specific! Haha.
What do you mean by dropped frames in recents? I'm on ice and it's full sense, but I don't notice anything laggy or stuttery in recents there is a slight delay when opening recents (fractions of a second while the cards populate). I'm also getting over 60k antutu out of the box at room temp.
@jollywhitefoot
I'm talking about that slight delay when opening multitasking window. Also I'm noob while it comes to building roms, I'm not new to android/xda/flashing roms.
+ I don't care abous benchmarks, but I'm freak while it comes to fluidity and real world performance. I also pay attention to little things like animations and those little things.

Well I find ice very smooth. Apparently you have an aosp device...there is no delay when opening recents on it??

Edit, actually I only get that slight delay when I'm on the home screen. If I press recent from inside any app, it's smooth as silk.
I had nexus 5 and on 5.0 (and under) there is delay but on 5.1 its like butter, also quick settings works differently ( than sense settings) they are nicely animated and so on..

Lol. Quite an arsenal. Where's your G4 and S6???
@jollywhitefoot
I hate design of G4 outside and inside, not a big fan of samsung as well. would rather have z3+ ( z3+ over m9 any day, but the price gap between them in poland is well, huge. 475USD for m9 and 795 for z3+ )
Going back to the main subject I'll talk with some guys and maybe will build with them the rom I'm waiting for. ( It will be like elix-r / elixium for nexus5 / m8 )
To be honest, if you want this best experience with vanilla android, it is best to get a device with it preinstalled and then even if you want to run custom roms, there are no issues. Personally, I was looking to get the Nexus 6, but didn't like the overly large screen. Now, I'm waiting to see what the Moto X 2015 brings to the table. Although, after having my M9 for a while now, I'm not sure I would switch. I'm loving being back on Sense. I also love the build quality of this device, but there is nothing special about the hardware. The one thing that is the best about this device is what you are wanting to remove, HTC Sense 7.
@ fernandezhjr
Thats quite obvious that its best to buy device with vanilla android preinstaled. I just don't like nexus 6 ( size, and looks) and I needed a phone so i bought one m9 for many reasons. I like its build quality, speakers and metal unibody and after updates the camera is not that bad ( although slow motion and video in general sucks )
With the right software I could be very satisfied , now I'm looking for that software. I like some elements of sense ( like its camera ui) or its lockscreen clock. But there are things like its quick settings that are just plain fugly ( to me of course)
I find the quick settings panel to be somewhat similar to the one I had on my Nexus 4. You can download the Google camera from the playstore. Try some different lauchers to find something you may like. The clock is just a widget. There are plenty of clocks available in the Playstore.

Already posted screenshots showing the difference, it may be simmilar but its far from being the same. As mentioned before I'm running nova launcher and i like htc stock camera interface. + I know it just a clock and there are thousands of clocks on the playstore and around the internet I was just saying that I like some parts of htc sense.
