Is there a way use can use a different user agent to the point that apple severs will think that this is an apple device and allow imessage?

Nope.

Short answer: no. Longer answer: there WAS an app on the Play Store that allowed this, and it did actually work, but it was extremely dodgy as it filtered the messages via a random Chinese server. So technically, I'd say it's not impossible for this to be done in a more legit way, but it can't be currently. Consider buying a secondhand 3GS exclusively for iMessages.

[Q] Franco kernel vibration damage?

hey there,
i just installed the franco kernel and i've noticed that the vibration has been set to 100 instead of 63, nothing wrong with it.
but here is the main question: can this damage the device after long term of use?
(i could not post this in the official post from the kernel because i am a new member to this)
your sincerely,
Acelius

Its just a motor but I suppose technically it could wear out faster but I wouldn't expect to see that within the lifetime of the device

hmh, if it doesn't die in the next 2 years i would be happy, but there's only one way to find out. And otherwise i could replace the motor right? (newb questions approaching...)

Sure you could, assuming you could find the right part. This phone is easy to take apart and fix.

Browser questions

On my old HTC EVO LTE you could make the screen bigger by swiping outward. (to make the text larger)
Then tap the screen and the text remains larger and is fitted to the screen.
Is this still available with any browser?
Doesn't work on chrome or on an aokp rom i tried.
Good feature for those with not so good eyes anymore.:cyclops:

Works for me in Chrome, stock not rooted. You can pinch-zoom and double tap to zoom in. It depends on the website. News articles from MSNBC don't allow for it but news items for Yahoo do.

Kitkat webkit seems to prevent text reflow.
In chrome you can pinch-zoom and then double tap but this seems to fit to the existing lines of text. It doesn't reflow, where words that used to be on line one are now on line two... not that I've seen anyway and read plenty of threads here complaining about it too

It's totally baffling to me that text reflow isn't supported in every single mobile browser. It's so important to have on a phone.

I just now installed Dolphin for the first time in probably 2 years and I'm absolutely shocked at how fast it is. It's much, much faster than either Chrome or the AOSP browser, but I hate all the ugly green and hate the fact that it can't sync all my Chrome tabs and bookmarks. I might just give it a shot for a few days though for the speed alone.

Precisely. The OP is complaining about the text not being large enough for people with poor eyesight. I just thought I'd mention a possible solution - you know, something that may help.
But, I understand that the technical aspect of the text-flow problem, and a debate about the various browsers, is infinitely more interesting than is providing such a simple fix.

Its not a simple fix. It doesn't address the issue. Text reflowed means as you make the text bigger, the text reflows to the next line meaning you don't have to scroll left to right to read the same line

There are themes included in its add-on section. Mines mostly blue... also couldn't handle the green.

[Q] Will be there any fix for the microphone noise?

Hey guys!
Today I made some videos and when I watched them, there was a noise during the video. However there was almost complete silence while I was recording. I looked up on the internet and I found this and this video. I have the same problem.
I've read under the video and on many different forums that it is a common problem, but it is not present for everyone...
Will we get fix for it or should I replace my phone? Also during phone calls people say that they cannot hear me well and they say that there is a background noise while I am sitting in silence.
I bought the phone in Switzerland through an acquaintance, but I live in Hungary so it would be a very long process...
Or is there any fix?
Who else has this issue?
Thanks.

It seems its a software issue (some say the noise cancellation algorithm) so returning it wont help unless you're getting a different phone.
No fix as yet

But can others notice this while talking on the phone or is it easy to notice it on videos that you recorded?
Because on my phone this noise is not that quiet, its very easy to notice.
BTW let me ask one more question. Is it okay if my CPU temperature during gaming is about 75-80°C?
Its quite warm on the back. Is it ok?

I don't speak on the phone much so no one complained. I tested voice record apps though and same problem.
Although I have no snapdragon 800 information specifically, it is generally accepted that the maximum safe temperature for 28nm CPU's is 95 degrees C. Take that with a pinch of salt though because that's a general rule, not explicitly our CPU

So I shouldn't be worrying with the 80°C max CPU temperature because its normal?

No, although stock kernel throttles at 65-70..

80 is 80. I've increased my frequency and core throttling from 65 and 70 to 80 and 85....
But I dont understand why yours is 80 as stock is 65 and 70. Perhaps its how its being read surrounding the cpu

From what I've been able to research, it supposedly has to do with the noise cancellation algorithm, which may or may not be addressed in the next firmware update. Google Reps have confirmed they are aware of the issue, although a solution has not been announced.

I'd like to let you know that we are continuing to investigate this, and we appreciate the data this community has helped us collect. Note that any potential software improvements to this behavior will have to be included in a future Android release.
(I'm going to mark this post a an answer to this question. Please don't take that as a sign that Google considers this issue fully resolved.

That is what I cant understand too, because others say that their CPU temp is around 60 when gaming, while mine is hotter...:crying:

Make android look and act like iOS

Before I get some stupid replies, this isn't for me. Let me explain. I bought a Nexus 5 for my wife and she is just not getting the hang of android. With android being as amazing as it is, I'm sure there is a way to make it look and function just like an iPhone. Look, feel, lock screen notifications, ect. If someone can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Actually, there isn't. You may find themes that slightly look like ios but act? No.
She's either going to have to try and get the hang of it or you're going to have to buy her an iPhone. My guess is she is hoping for the latter

you can get it to look like an iphone, and easily, but it will always function like android.

Women and their iPhones... its like going backwards... they like it small

What I mean by feel is mostly just lock screen notification where you get the notification and slide across the screen to go to it. As long as it looks like iOS and has that, I'm sure it'll be good.

There are alot of custom roms that have lockscreen notifications where you can slide it to the left to see it, and either click on it to go to the notification, or slide it to the left again to dismiss it.
