When I applied it no bubbles were on. When I started to apply it I used a card to flaten it and stop bubbles from forming in the first place.
Then said some wizardry things to it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah man, everyone forgets the incantations.
Hey guys, I'm getting a Nexus 4! I need app suggestions. Useful apps, for my daily life. Games too, I guess.

I'm still seeing loads of gingerbread UI things amongst stock Google apps. That ain't a good example!
personally I like the Gingerbread UI for when you press the menu key better than the holo thing
but you know that's just me
Failed to get shell root.
What does that even mean?
So I'm on Verizon (Currently using the Galaxy Nexus) and am due for an upgrade. Do you guys think I should go for the Note II or is there something bigger and better on the horizon that is worth waiting for?

Yeah I can't understand why HTC decided to go with removing the menu button and replacing it with the 'Recent Apps' button. I press menu WAY more often than I hold the home button on my phone.
Because that's what Google did? The problem is that HTC can't magically allocate the space where the softkeys are to fit a software menu button.
So Samsung finally pushed the Jelly Bean update for the ATT Galaxy S3 over Kies - I'm loving this.
All the Snapdragon LTE versions are getting 4.1, it's rolling out in waves.
Good exynos 4 news:

It's been a while since the last time I visited this place, just wanted to know if you guys are using this thread to discuss themes/widgets and so on? Since I can't seem to find the old "Post your homescreen" thread.
We often discuss the wonderful themes produced by XDA.

It's because the average Joe will buy a wildfire and never update it. Also the slightly above average Joes on mid range phones will be left wanting as promised dev support is reneged upon.
Yah he'll never update it because there's no fucking update for him because X OEM's bloated interface combined with Android uses 99% of the RAM on the device.
that poor poor wildfire...

I know right, I kinda don't really like the list, I miss the 3x2 buttons with icons and it was always so much easier to press.
Damn, my N4 has only JUST made it to the end of the working day (16:30) after a bit of browsing and 20 minutes of playing a game.
Prepare yourselves, Nexus 4 stock is coming up in the uk in 2 minutes time
