Or can it mess up/burn out the LED?
It CAN burn out the LED, but don't leave it on for extended periods and you'll be fine.
I only use it occasionally. So is it worth keeping or should I uninstall it?
So far I've only used it as a torch for say... an hour tops? Constant.
I would keep it, they come in handy especially if you drop your keys beside the car seat at night and you can't see. Look into the galaxy nexus flashlight on the play store doesn't take a lot of space and works well.

Is that one recommended then? At the moment am using 'Simple Torch', but if that's better or something, then I'll switch.

Not necessarily recommended but works well on nexus devices, widget looks good and had a lock screen widget. +it doesn't take up a lot of space

Was android coded whilst looking at it upside down? I'm currently trying to make a mod for the statusbar for CM10.2 where I'm moving the signal, and wifi icons to the left side. However.. I noticed that the battery icon says this
"<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Battery" android:gravity="left|center""
Correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt Gravity "Left | Center" mean its to the left, or in the center?
Im very confused.
I assume it means that either means be on the left but move to the center if there is an other icon in its way or it will be on the left but on CyanogenMod there is an option to move it to the middle so it will move it to the center.

go to settings, inputlanguage, choose hebrew
now you know why 4.3 has millions of lines of code.

It's not the millions of lines of code, Im talking about why does it say the clock is on the left side, or the center, when it is ONLY on the right side. Nowhere in CM is an option for centered clock. It's a bit odd.

Andy, I don't see an option in CM for a centered clock, nor does the clock get moved.
However I did finally just change it to only center, and it didn't move.
Most i got from it was a clean boot up, little bit of a flashing screen that cleared up within 5 seconds, and nothing has changed.

Then I guess that was some feature of a rom I used to have on my old phone which is currently hard bricked.
Did you look EVERYWHERE in the settings?

Looked absolutely everywhere, Some roms have it but CM trys to stay as stock as possible, while just enhancing the stock feeling. Like being able to add more tiles to the Quick Tiles. But thats about it.

The thing is that all that code is for translation because Hebrew uses different type of characters so it needs to be matched up with the English characters.

thats what i said. why do you think 4.3 had thousands of lines of code. they must have refactured the entire UI system for that one.
i once tried to reverse the navbar, heck, it wasn't easy - but this is just insane, they even flip fragments.
it makesfor a cool trick to play on clueless nexus users though

too much time on their hands? klp already wrapped up and waiting for release? boredom? i cannot say.
Just got my g2 this am and its not that I'm disappointed I just don't know if its worth the full retail I paid over my nexus4. I'm moving to India in a few months so lte does not really matter to me.
Anyone come from a n4 to the g2 and have any insight on what you are enjoying more about the n4?
*not a fan of the lg skin but figure its just a matter of time till we have aosp roms.
Picture comparison between the two

I am considering the same thing. Can you post pics of them together? I may wait for the nexus 5 but think i like the buttons on the back and bigger battery. I hope the bootloader is able to be unlocked.
Sure give me a few and I will grab some pictures.
Overall the nexus feels better in the hand to me, love the back glass feel, I don't mind dealing with stock for a couple weeks as long as that bootloader becomes unlockable and we get some aosp action.
Re: the buttons on the back, I don't mind em one bit and actually like em but I don't use volume up/down much on my phone anyway.
My phone is on back order, but I'll be giving my wife my Nexus 4 so I can't comment on that decision, but I'm definitely keeping the G2 for myself. I played with one for a few minutes and I'm sold.

Thanks!! Really loving the bezels. I see you hide your onscreen keys on the Nexus.... Decisions, Decisions. I may wait to see if the new nexus is based off of this.
I've had a nexus 4 one and s4 in the last 6 months and now g2.. loving the g2, screen is better on the g2, way better battery life, snappier processor better camera.. Also aosp Roms will come in time... That said I will undoubtedly get the next nexus as I'm a gadget junkie.

I had them all too, but I find myself back with the nexus. Mainly for the simple things. I love the onscreen buttons and cyanogenmod mms with the quick reply and functions. I would love the battery life and better camera though, .
Wow they really are close in size! The nexus screen looks great with the buttons hidden. Does the G2 not allow 3rd party wallpapers appear behind transparent notification bar and buttons at the bottom?

Yes, I'm on 4.4 stock. And I get the translucent bars on the home screen but not on the lock screen.
But as far as i can tell this is normal and you can't do anything about it aside from replacing the framework.
So this would be the only thing different software wise ,as I said in the opening post?

Yes your missing o, e, i, n and g. There must be a problem with your spellchecker. Try SwiftKey. Its much better than stock.

And you're missing an apostrophe and an "e" people in glass houses...
But to answer the OP's question, we're missing HDR+, low power music playback, and... yeah I'm struggling to think of any other software differences. Even the 2 differences I mentioned are hardware dependant. And to think I was considering "upgrading".

hardware difference = software difference....multiple features are exclusive, therefore there's a difference

I noticed that when I went to my camera app it constantly crashed. When I restarted my nexus 4 it opened however only showed the front facing camera. There seems to be no "Switch camera" option when I held my finger down only other options like "HDR" "More options" and "Exposure".
Could this be a software or hardware problem :/

By changing the software you mean using other apps? Well l used "Google Goggles" and it still used the front camera rather than the back
No, by software I meant use another ROM.
