Good thing about Franco's app is that you just need to be rooted. You can be on any ROM/kernel. The gamma setting on faux's app requires you to be on his kernel. Fauxclock also costs twice as much as Franco's app.

Wrong. The gamma control works on stock kernel & his.. And the $5 is very much worth it. That app also has a boatload of other features

You're right. I wasn't updated with his news. It used to only work on faux kernel users.

The app does cost $2.60 but it works really well and you don't have to constantly go back and change the settings. Do it once and you can leave it.
Try it and if you don't find a setting you like you can refund it within 15 minutes.

your setting sucks haha
sorry
this is built into Franco Updater

Yeah I'm now currently using Xylon version 15 with Franco R28 and it's starting to get decent. Will see how it goes for the next few days.

when the phone is in sleep/stand-by mode (screen is off) is there any way to wake the phone/turn screen on, other then the power button on the side? Like using the home button or swiping the screen somehow? I've tried searching but haven't found anything... thx

^have you been spoiled by the PlayBook?
Haven't heard of anything of that sort but when you install custom ROMs there is an option to wake the screen with the volume keys

You'll need either a custom rom or a custom kernel. Roms usually allow power or volume to wake. Kernels like faux allow swipe2wake where you simply swipe the screen to turn it on. Mind you this will take up some battery.

Generally, I'd say read up as much as you can on androids..
This is the SAFEST WAY you can root your phone

xda-developers - View Single Post - [Guide] Ultimate Nexus 4 Root Guide

now outside of this, you are on your own...I encourage reading up on android and all the how to's because essentially you will learn just how much of a beast these phones are

look under the original dev section on the N4 via XDA. Franco, Faux and all the roms have their own thread

Just use the latest Nexus Root Toolkit, can't get any simpler than that.

I've used ADB to unlock/root a few devices in the past so I'm familiar with the steps. There's no comparison when using the root kit, everything is pretty much automated and you just press buttons, no prompts to deal with. To each his own.

I can vouch for the tool kit. Easiest thing to use. There is even a YouTube video on how to use it
