No. Fixed position lense and no digital zoom (speaking of which why the hell do people use digital zoom).

You can have digital zoom with the last camera ZOOM FX paid app

why take a photo then crop it when you can just get it all done then and there. I personally like digital zoom. Plus it just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling your phone does that "one more thing"

Digital zoom is what I meant so does have it ?

Your question is answered in Post 3.
FYI - Use the Type 4 setting to enable the zoom. This is the option I use on my NS.

Zephyr Multitasking

Hey guys,
Anyone who has ever used a jail broken idevice must be familiar with the zephyr multitasking tweak that allows you to switch between apps by swiping the screen?
You can also exit any app by swiping up from the bottom which takes you to the home screen.
What I wanna know is that is there any such tweak or utility for android?

I'm wondering the same too! any luck?? that multitasking swipe is the best i found... do let me know if you found anything similar.. thanks!

Nope no such luck.

What you're describing makes me think of my old Palm Pixi if you find anything like this I would be interested too. I'll do some digging an if I find anything I'll let you guys know.

Has anyone found a solution to this yet? There are a few guesture-based multitasking apps and tweaks now, if only we could get hold of the source for one and impliment that smooth two-finger swipe 'gallery style' animation for switching apps.
Cydia substrate is available for android, maybe someone could get in touch with the zephyr dev

Buuuuummmmmmp

Face lock on nexus s 4.0.4.

Can anyone post the face lock for 4.0.4.? Thanks in advance.

You have to download the old Gapps package that supports it. It is very slow and barely works if it works at all in the NS.

True, because of the VGA-quality front facing camera on the nexus s, Face unlock cannot distinguish your features as well as the GNex front facing camera (1.3 Megapixels). On the NS, its a broken gimmick more than a useful screen lock.

There's a reason behind everything, the reason they didn't include this feature in the Nexus S is because it wouldn't be very good. Just like the other users stated, the front facing camera quality is not good enough.

Here is the link for the face unlock download.

nexus 5 supports DLNA?

Hello.
They know if nexus 5 supports DLNA?
Thank you.

Yes it does. But seems like it doesn't have any built in app. So your best bet is to install an app that allows you to do so.

Is any one knows some one?
