Well, here is a video to show the outcome.
Giving big thanks to Omarsalmin for providing me with a replacement spring!

I personally haven't tried, but one of my buddies said after a few days, up to a week of use, it goes back to the way it was.

Sweet! When are you planning on doing it?

Wow! Very nice! The springs seem to not be available right now. I also have a little fear of disassembling my phone.. The last time I did it, it was on a Sony Ericsson k800i, I ended up break the power button off without even knowing it until there was no feel in the power button when I tried to turn it in.

hey,
for everyone not being able to buy a new spring right now.
i tried just to stretch the spring buy ya...it goes back after a few days...
so i heated it up and then stretched it.
it works like a charm!
just take a lighter and then stretch it with some tools cuz otherwise ull get burned.
for now it seems to work reeeally good. have beein using that for 6 days now.
(and i open and close it a lot!!)
just try it out.

I know you guys don't see stuff like this often. But this is part of my hobby. LOUD BASS! The bass is doing that to the windshield. Figured i would combine my 2 loves and try this feature of the camcorder out. Enjoy! Or don't.....take a look either way! lol I'm about to upload a vid to photobucket of me striking a lighter at the slowest setting.
Wow! Is your windshield glass or plastic? Looks like it may be a convertible that's why I'm asking.

Did you slow it down in video editing software on the PC/Mac? I can't find anywhere in the stock camera that allows you to adjust the FPS?

I wish I'd done that to my Element, maybe after those frozen baseballs fell from the sky this spring it wouldn't be covered in craters now. :crying:
How many FPS?
love the stealthy all black look of the nexus, i think if you had the right color skin to cover the lg logo it would look pretty nice. was wondering if any of you guys had skinned yours yet. i think the only one ive seen available is the exoskins, but they dont have black

This is a nice share. Actually i am waiting for Gelaskins and decalgirl to come up with their design. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this I will be ordering the brushed titanium Monday. Looks really cool

Please post pictures after you get it on! I wanted something on my phone, so I went and had them custom cut a Zagg InvisibleSHIELD. Doesn't look as good as I'd hope so I'm looking for something else.

as I love the look of carbon fiber, but it won't arrive til next week. IF it looks half as good as the pic then I'll be stoked.
Did it about three hours ago. Went pretty smooth for me. The kit comes with skins for the volume rockers as well but I thought it would look better without. So far, without much time to test, I like the feel. Definitely like the look. My only worry and it's a big one, is how it will fare going in and out of my pockets.
Edit: posted 5 total pics and only one uploaded. I'll keep trying the rest.

Nope. I put it in my pocket everyday. It really depends on how well it's installed on the phone though.

Well, judging by your pictures, I don't see any difference so I guess I'll find out.
Edit: nvrmnd. I see I did mine differently. I went off someone else's pics and assumed there were gonna be gaps and arranged it so the chrome-ish band would show. Didn't think of covering it up.. Poo. Guess I'll buy another one.

Incipio feather case is what I use. Works great, but the phone doesn't fit in hand as well. It is still a good fit, but LG seemed to optimize it pretty well.

Buy and apply the back cover from XtremeGuard, which only costs about a buck or two.

Hey everyone, I just flashed CM11 and I'm lacking a nice wallpaper..I keep looking for some nice artwork or something to put but nothing seems to give my phone that perfect look.lol. I'm in need of someone who could maybe make me a custom wallpaper for my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 7(they both run CM11).
It should match the resolutions..so maybe 2 copies of the wallpaper. One that matches the S4 and the other that matches the Nexus 7(2013).
If someone could do this, I'd be very grateful. If you are able to, just comment on the thread or just DM me.

I was thinking maybe some that are "minimalistic". Like if you have ever watched any review videos by MKBHD, the style wallpapers he uses. I was also thinking maybe "tech"style wallpaper. Like maybe a circuit board type look or something.. As far as colors are concerned, I'm down for almost any colors.I wanna utilize the Super AMOLED display hahaha
