Easiest is still to use a lock screen app, unless you can find a launcher that uses a different wallpaper from the system's one.

Another alternative is to install a custom rom that allows u to set the lock screen wallpaper directly

Hi, may I know is it good? Will it have some "thickness" after applied. Worry it will peel off after put in/take out from pocket. Thanks.

Technically 2A is the max current output the charger is capable of. So how much it actually draws depends on the phone.

I dunno if the phone has the capability to draw 2A if u use a 2A charger. Someone free can try using a multimeter to measure :D

i have

in addition, i went to device manager and it reflected that my nexus 4 is installed correctly..

do a adb devices and see whether your device is connected.

Did you install the driver from the toolkit or did it yourself? Your drive got install twice right? Try using the back usb port instead of the front if you still cannot detect your phone.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? You need it to root

Think Farebot does not work with JB, cos the one on my s3 also crash ever since upgraded to JB

How to make it work have to wait for developer to fix

FareBot works with JB. My friend's S3 and another friend's GNexus(4.2.2) both works
