The Nexus 4 Thread

[expositox]

No leh, I like to flash stuff, idk why plus I use TWRP as my recovery so restoring is pretty easy.

if you wanna flash once every few days, then you're most suited for nightlys!
go find those threads with nightlys in them.

for me, i like to flash every 2 weeks or so, gets too troublesome at times, unless there's something horribly wrong with the ROM i flashed.

I'm on RootBox nightly, their nightly is like.. Once every few days..

I kept a nandroid of stock, literally stock, backed up immediately after I unlocked bootloader. So if anything goes wrong I just restore from stock.

For me i always keep a nandroid of the last rom i flash, if the current one is ok, then i do a nandroid of the current one and throw the old one away...

Sure, if u can get over the current hurdles to get it. Now requires US based credit card iirc.

But in terms of streaming on a 3G connection it's spotty. KKBox and Spotify are much better imho, at least locally.

Using Touch Control since Day 1 (since I bought the phone 2nd hand, power button was already faulty). Very useful

Just replaced my Nexus 4's power button. Works fine now. No longer need to send for service

Not really hard to fix it. Just taking out the back cover takes some time.
Briefly sum up the steps...
1. Take out the back cover
2. Unscrew the black plastic covering the circuit board
3. Pull out old power button and replace with new
4. Screw back the black plastic cover
5. Put back the back cover.
6. Play with your new power button
