That's not a bad little app! Got some good ones for my nexus 7 theme that I'm doing
A question to the android peeps, is there a faster way to trigger the task manager besides holding the home button? It's takes a only second or two on my galaxy note, but it feels awkward. User interface wise, it feels weird to press a button and hold especially for something that we use so much.
That's pretty much it. You can also assign actions to one- or two finger swipes and change settings for the app drawer.
I don't think you can trigger it any other way. A custom ROM might change the delay, but I don't know of any other action. Perhaps you can use Nova/Apex and assign a swipe to trigger it though? Lemme try.
EDIT: Yep, you can asssign a swipe to trigger the task manager and it starts instantly - at least on my sgs 2 with CM 10. YMMV with TouchWiz... I set two-finger swipe up to trigger the Recent Apps action and it works just as intended.
Cyanogenmod 10 has a feature to remap hardware keys, so you can make the menu key open the app switcher (and enable the 3-dot menu in apps), or the search key if your device has one of those.
The features are listed in the Google Play description. Or you could just install it and have a look through the settings. Your current home screen set-up won't be affected so you can easily go back if you don't like Nova.

Carphone Warehouse in the UK seem to have jumped the gun on Nexus 4 pre-orders. Bad side, they are listing it as having only 8gb memory. Plus side, they are offering delivery for the 30th Oct, possible immediate launch?

Edit; just noticed they are using the faked AOKP Screenshot from yesterday.

Was just about to post this. The 8gb storage will not go away, I am convinced there will be a 16gb at least option at least at launch but I must admit I am starting to get a tad worried...
Edit: Not sure what to think about it also just listing GSM and no LTE, they are only offering it on Vodafone & O2 which at the moment don't have LTE. Not too fussed about that now actually after seeing the stupid prices EE want to charge, I can wait until Q3 2013 and see who are offering what.
Edit 2: Looks like the rumour of an in build Swype style keyboard are true:
"Stay in touch with Gesture Typing, a faster way of typing that lets you spell words by dragging your finger across the screen from letter to letter. Browse the web with the super fast Google Chrome."

Like I said. There is probably a "cheap" off contract version of the nexus and a carrier version. All will become clear in daysss.
Thanks! Signed up.
they are using the photoshops, its not the real bar

looks like that is the case:
also yeah this pic from the same set of renders has a different bar:
But everyone is treating this as an official spec list. Wouldn't they have received the official press photos along with the official spec list? Either those specs AND the photo is official... or they are both faked by some overzealous Carphone Warehouse employee.
if the phone looks just like those renders... i actually really really really like the look of it
carphone warehouse puts up whatever it can find.

It basically looks like a higher quality galaxy nexus. Which I'm ok with.
Okay. So why is everyone treating this as an official spec list? I'm so confused.
well we already know 98% of the specs and have for a while

GSMArena have an update on the story, now with scans of an upcoming Carphone Warehouse brochure.
Nice price for PAYG model.

The spec and features list is probably real, the picture is most likely not.
What Carphone Warehouse employee comes up with detailed descriptions and a name Gesture Typing for a rumoured feature of 4.2?
£389 is for the 8GB version though...
Also I REALLY hope the battery in the Nexus is not lower than the 2100mAh one in the Optimus.

I'm too tired to even speculate on the subject any more. Monday is close enough.
Also one of the LG nexus prototypes factually had a 2100 battery so it'd be weird if it shipped with something lower.

meh, there is only so much you can do when, if the launch date from Carphone Warehouse is true, you are going to say "buy it tomorrow!"
Google can't just sit idly by and let Apple and MS release 2 flagship tablets within mere weeks of each other and not do anything.
A notification LED?!! YES! Fuck yes!!
Can they, for the love of the Google, make the front facing camera better than the back one? I just don't get the appeal of people taking pictures with fucking tablets.
I would mostly use the front facing camera to Hangout.

Any bets on the US price of the Nexus 4? I'm going to guess $400 for the 8GB model, if they want to be really competitive. However, given the UK price, I could easily see $529 (Nexus One and S).

My educated guess on Nexus 4 pricing:
$500 for 8gb version. No LTE.
Then carriers will sell an 8/16gb version with LTE.
Wildcard is maybe the 8gb version also has a smaller battery and the 16gb doesn't. But that would make little sense.

shit just got real!
$429, 8GB, no el tee eeee
It doesn't have a pressure sensitive pen so don't buy it
Am i the only one who uses the AI Keyboard?! It has 5 rows and you can switch the top row on the fly to have arrows keys. Easily moving the cursor is way to important imo for me to switch back to swiftkey or swype

TBH I don't know why anyone would even buy a phone without LTE in late 2012.
I think this one will match the iPad (4) price.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'd agree with this statement at least North American wise. US and Canada residents would be stupid to buy a non LTE phone at this juncture unless they are just getting a cheap/free phone for money reasons.

Or, you're on T-Mobile, like me, and there's absolutely zero point in getting an LTE phone.

price matching is not enough!
