Hey guys!
So I was just wondering what tips users have to make the most out of an unrooted Nexus 4. Anything from must-have apps/widgets, theming/customization tidbits to getting optimal battery life. I realize there must be threads all over the place talking about these individually
but I'd really appreciate it if everyone could simply link it all here. I want a place in the forum where users can give tips for optimizing/customizing the pure stock experience without root-requiring mods. If such a place already exists, I apologize for the ignorance. Please redirect me there. If not,
thanks to everyone in advance!!

What all things we can try on unrooted nexus 4. ? Pl help. I was about to create a thread for the same. Pl help on this.
To increase volume of the speaker and (bluetooth) headsets i use Volume+ from Google Play and that works very good for me in terms of loudness. For restoring apps and data i use Helium (Premium) and Appmonster Pro.
Check these apps (Non-Root)
Launchers
Nova,Apex or Action Launcher
Widgets
Battery Widget,Minimalist text
Apps...
Editors section from play store is helpful
Advanced apps
Tasker,Locale
hi, i'm using non rooted nexus 4.. i have nova launcher (prime) just because i like having option to change scroll effects, app icons, customize dock, set transparency etc. for widgets, i would recomend battery widget reborn, it has so many features other than just showing you battery life.. dash clock, which replaces stock lock screen adding more informations of your choice (unread sms, missed calls etc). also i would suggest lightflow, for LED and notification control, its super great. next, good file manager (im using ASTRO) and even better keyboard than the stock one, swiftkey keyboard, i'm thrilled with it.
Uccw is great for theming once you figure it out. Nova and Apex are both good for launchers. 1 weather is a nice widget along with battery widget reborn. Lightflow is great for LED customization. When it comes to theming almost anything can be done with UCCW along with nova or apex
You have a Nexus, Live a little install cm10.1 be happy
Hello guys,
if you could help..may be there is someone know how to make touchwiz30launcher support alphabetical apps in drawer..i found some guide and apps touchwiz mod from another thread...yes it work but i really just want to know how to do that..
thanks before.
I think it's possible but it is not worth the time. Just get a launcher from some custom rom, even though I'm not using Monochromatic, I still use the launcher cause it's nice, just extract the apk from the Zip
________________________________
Many people don't get this but,
Being humble is like the "I win" button in your life.
would it be possible to do this as am sure we would all like a fully functioning flash player and other apps.
the main reason i ask is because if you log on to some sites that have a hd button on their content and ask you to download some *.exe that doesnt work on droid anyway, can be bypassed by opening mobile page and clicking on classic view on their page. veetle.com is one example. altho since jb this hasnt been possibe as flash only works over desktop view.
if you have an ics device aswell give this a try on veetle.com,
open in mobile view
click something to watch
click classic below whats on
click on the explore button
click on catagories (shows, entertainment etc)
click on something to watch
then you will be able to view in hd
then try it with your jellybean device it doesnt work.
Is Flash the only reason you want to use ICS? I'm using the AOSP browser on touchwiz, and it works perfectly fine with Flash.
Sure, anything can be done, as long as you don't mind sacrificing features and breaking other functionality. I suspect that you won't find many devs that would want to waste their time on such an endeavor, though.

thanks for the tip with aosp browser ill give it a shot but im using nova launcher and flash player is not the only reason i just like the ui and its mod capabilities
Just to let you know.
I rooted my X and installed TWRP.
Then I followed Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-installing-xposed-framework-stock-t3192957
choosed V78-sdk22-arm
Works fine at least with the modules I checked.
There seems to be one issue with X-Privacy. Stopping the APP after changing restrictions seems to be not enough. Sometimes the changes applied until reboot.
With App-Settings I found something similar.
Concerning GravityBox on my OnePlus X, it seems that some options do not work even if there is no error message or so...
For example : coloring icons in the notification bar, and disabling secure sound level has no effect for me.
Also, some additional options added in the notification bar do not show their icons...
Did someone also noticed this?

Gravitybox is designed to work perfectly only with AOSP or AOSP like ROMs. The creators themselves have claimed that it doesnt work perfectly even on CM ROMs. So its no surprise here.
That being said, i still do use Gravitybox on my OPX without issues, albeit i have activated only a bare minimum of tweaks.

Does Pie control from gravitybox work? I've used the one in SlimKat and later resurrection remix and really like how it looks and functions and it's the only missing feature of Oneplus X for me.
Most of the modules work fine but Device Faker made my oneplus x do a bootloop! I had to flash the rom

yes i just tried it out right now. works fine:good:
Anyone using Gravity feature slide on statusbar to change screen?
Dosn't work for me. Any alternative?
Hey guys,
I am using XPrivacy but it is not working properly. Every time I start it a massage pops up saying internal check failed. Also when I set some restrictions to apps they do not work. Any idea what that might be?
@Phoost
Seems like your XPrivacy has problems, too. Have you been able to fix that?
Yes but it's minor. Ignore message and changes apply after restart.
@Phoost and @sexier : are you able to use the on demand feature?
For me, I also get the XPrivacy startup error message, but I get no on demand popups, and so.
In fact, I did some tests, and XPrivacy doesn't seem to work at all.
Other modules are working perfectly fine.
I did open an issue on the XPrivacy's github and trying to figure it out with the devs, but no luck so far :/
Please free to contribute if you have any insights!

"on demand" means asking to approve permission on the fly?
I never used this. I predefine all permission after installation.
I disabled Identification for "Protected App" - > no more pro
I disabled location for GPS Test - > no location
I disabled Internet for Opera - > still loads websites :crying:
So works for some but not all.
Which framework version you are using? V78?
Maybe the old one ist better.

Yes! That’s exactly the same problem that I have. No pop-ups or on-demand rules work. The ones that are marked with a “?".
I am still running an older version of XPosed v75. I did not have the time to make an update yet. On my other phones XPrivacy runs perfectly with v75. I guess an old version doesn’t really help then.
Bad. Hope dev's find something.
Please join the issue on GitHub : https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy/issues/2300
Or create yours if your problem isn't the same.
There are too few OPX users feedbacks on it, need more
Thanks for reporting this.
I add two comments to the thread.
Yep, I saw
Let see if the dev can figure it out. Else I'll switch to CM12.1 as soon as it'll be officialy available.
At least, we know that's a base on which xposed and xprivacy are proved to be working!
I'm starting to think that the way the apps permissions works in OxygenOS, is just messing with xprivacy.

You'll take care about the ActivityManager question?
I don't really know what he is talking about.
Maybe a post in oneplus forum or pm to oneplus member is enough.
hi
im using samsung galaxy note 4.
i know i can take a scrolling screenshot of things with the note 4.
dont know if i can do what i want with the included apps.
im searching for an app that can let me stitch pictures together. For example if i take a scrolling screenshot, i would like to be able to add more picture/screenshot on it later on. Also i would like the app to have a delete funktion, for example if i take a scrolling screenshot of a chat conversation, i would like to be able to delete some parts from that screenshot. Would also be a plus if you can write and mark things on the app.
Is there such a app available ? i have tried to find one but did not success.
also another question. i can use smart select from spen to cut things right ? is there a easy way to merge all the things i cut to one pic ?

This is smart select app from note 7 works on note 4 marshmallow without root
hopefully all you need is in there.
Install as normal apk
Pull out the s.pen and you will see new smart select in air command.
