[Q] Any ideas? or suggestion?

Alright so obviously I have the nexus 4. This really isnt a big problem for you guys I just need quick help.
You see I'm getting really bored. Maybe because its a developer phone and I'm obviously not a developer. I keep trying to sell it and since my birthday was today I almost got the galaxy s4.
I just keep thinking if there was something I could. do to this phone to make it as cool as the galaxy s4 I'm just not impressed.
I have rooted
I have over clocked.
Installed custom ROM
I just need Idk features that make the phone cool. Or something that'll keep me busy so I'm not bored.
Thanks

read around, maybe something will catch your interest. personally, i dont need the extra features. i look for something lean, and optimized, which usually means fast. the simplicity of android makes me happy, i dont need anything else.

rasbean jelly rom with the trinity kernel. but thats what i enjoy

Its basic human nature that they get bored after using the same thing again & again for many days. After a month of usage, I was bored with my S2, then I started trying out new ROMs, I used to change ROMs once every 2 weeks.
I got my Nexus 4, 3days ago.........
Try out different ROMs, try different software tweaks, or different apps from Play Store atleast. Otherwise just find something/someone other than your Nexus 4/10 to remove your boredom......

okay see because I over clocked and rooted my Nexus 4 and 10. Running pa with stock kernel. I literally took of Faux kernel does now because it was overheating my phone. I still have my Nexus 10 overclock and rooted. With same kernel. I just need something else to do with my phone. When I usually go hiking or trailing I do photosphere's and then add it to Google Plus but other than that there's nothing else to do

What you need is tasker!
That should be a really interesting project for you
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsIm5ldC5kaW5nbGlzY2guYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrZXJtIl0.
You can do anything with this app

What you need is to change the way you interact with your device. Remove the nav bar and use pie (learn to use gestures) , nova launcher (and many roms out there) have the option to remove the notificatiom bar. Use dashclock with the extentions as a homescreen widget. Use halo for notifications. Use icon packs to change the way your UI feels, change the wallpaper more often. If you're on google+ take a look at the communities, people are doing some crazy stuff customizations, try to replicate those themes.
Buying the s4 won't solve your problems.

Yeah the only thing Im not doing from what you said is using halo and pie. I did that with my nexus 10. The reason why I didn't on my nexus 4 is because I put tablet ui and made it transparent and made the app drawer transparent too

4.3 Roms and Tablet UI

For those of you that have played with some of the new 4.3 ROMs have you seen any with tablet UI functionality?

Have any 4.3 roms even been released? I thought they were still working on everything
Waiting on PA personally

No, but one of them has expanded desktop, if you're interested, which works great with gmd gesture control. It's ratcav's rom.

PA is out so I'm going to give that a try. Might wait a few builds as the first one has usually has a few bugs to work out. Running pure stock right now just so I can say I tried it.

Wondering if anyone has found a ROM yet with tabletUI?

4.4 Dialer - No suggestions?

One of the new features in 4.4 is that the dialer app now gives you phone numbers of places local to you as you type. I'm running 4.4 (rastakat) on my N4 and if I start typing a word ie "mcdonalds" I was expecting to see results for places local to me, but nothing happens.
Is this an N5 feature only or do I need to do something to enable this? I did search but I can't find mention of this anywhere.

Dear Crazzyfool_1,
I was doing some research myself but I am not sure if I am allowed to post links to other forum in this one. Well I am new here so if I make a mistake then please feel free to let MODS edit my post and remove the link.
According to the website below Dialer.apk and Phone.apk have been replaced with the new TelephonyProvider.apk on the N5. Looking the image it doesn't seem like its a N5 feature. Now I have not tested the new image (rastakat) myself and am not sure if they have modified TelephonyProver.apk or have not included in their release.
So to answer your question I don't think its limited to N5. I'd say ask some more people and wait for some time for others to test the rom and do some more digging.

That uses google services, therefore is not open source. AOSP dialer will not have this functionality.

Hopefully when n4 image comes, it will be on the n4.

Google Edition

Hello everyone, I'm now using HTC One with Google Edition rom, and I ****ing love it. I'm switching to LG G2 but I really hate the ugly UI, is there any custom rom, or any way to convert it to Google Edition? Thank you.

The g2 has better hardware than the one, but aosp is not nearly as stable. I love my phone, but coming from a nexus, I sure miss stability.

In my country they sell only D802.. is that a problem?
Also, does anyone know what's the difference between the One's and the G2's speakers? I mean, I know the One's are way better, but as for the volume, which has the louder ones? And how louder are they?

D802 is supported too, no idea if the stability is any different but I wouldn't imagine it would be.
As for comparison against other phones for various stuff; no idea.

Knock on is okay but knock off can't be used on lockscreen and even in launcher you have to tap the status bar.(With nova launcher you can knock off by double tapping on home), but that still won't give you ability to knock off on lockscreen.

In Paranoid Android, you can use knock off on the lockscreen. It's been implemented since Beta 5, I think.

It won't be with play services, rather the Google app itself.

I wonder how this would compare legally to fingerprint/pin lock in regards to being compelled to unlock your device.

Don't think it would be any different than the other "trusted" options like face, location, and on-body. They are just smart compliments to backup pin/pattern locks.

Has anyone here received this update yet? I've been anxiously awaiting its arrival or been searching for an APK download. Looking forward to trying it out.

installed the latest, and it seemed to disable all security options... i would hold off

its probably not available for the nexus 6 because we have ok google with the screen off and not plugged in. thats my guess at least.

it would have to be fixed/enabled in the rom. but you might have a temporary solution, if it still works. i started a thread last year about this, and not working on aosp roms. until we finally found a solution to it(just some missing files in aosp source). check out the thread, yes its old now, but you might find a temporary solurion in there that will work for you. and please ask, thats the only way we will find out if its the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716
