Are you kidding? After I hyped that thing? Its not worth it. Having a 4.7" screen on my N4 now and a 5.2" later makes sense. Besides, I'm getting the N7 2013 model here soon so I need screen sizes that the kiddo can enjoy.

They were so close though...
And then I see that you can customise the software buttons and hope was returned, and then immediately shattered when they were just rearrangements of the same keys....

Oh, really? I saw customizeable as well and just assumed you can replace Menu with Multitask.They were so close though...

If the N5 uses a Snapdragon 800, this will happen again.

JBQ is a cool dude but he can be a bit of a diva. He almost quit Android after the whole "Google C&Ding ROMs that include their proprietary apps" thing went down.

I'm surprised we don't have a retina scanner with facelock tech on Android now. Maybe the Blade Runner app will do that.

It doesn't seem to work for me. It could not locate my N4, ring it or anything.

What is it with open source people and bad taste? Is that some kind of trope I'm not aware of? If it isn't, it should be.
"Open Source people and their designers have bad taste, when it comes to design"
it worked on both my devices... you have ADM in your administrator accounts? (if its not enabled it will still ring, but you can't lock or wipe)
We have lost LG to the dark side.

Oh, and what would you make it looks like?
The wood is deliciously hipsterish but it reminds me of the minimalism I've been chasing.
I wouldn't be surprised if he backpedaled in a few days, similar to before.

What's this bug he's talking about? Not being able to boot to the home screen? I don't understand.
Vyse The Legend

I have ADM enabled, yet still doesn't work. I'll try a reboot.
It's not a bug.
Qualcomm's lawyers have blocked Google from releasing the drivers for their chipset in the past (and more recently, with the new Nexus 7), which means the support for those devices in AOSP is extremely limited.
In this video, they mentioned you can change the software button layout and function: http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/07/the-engadget-interview-lg-mobiles-dr-woo-on-the-g2/
