I'm seriously considering getting an X to replace my broken Optimus G (Nexus4's big brother).
Something I haven't seen in my lurking through these forums or reviews online is whether you can change the colour for Active Notifications. For example,is it possible to make them red instead of white (mainly art night)?

I'm driving but I bet if you extract the apk you may be able to alter the image files. That's a total guess though.

It's possible in the app "active notifications"(search Google play for it), it's a clone of moto x's feature
Motorola Moto X DE XT1053
Ah, found Dynamic Notifications in the Play Store that supports changing the colour. Nice. Thanks.

Should be noted you won't get particularly good battery though. The native Active Display is tied with hardware integration with the special cores. Using a 3rd party app to accomplish this doesn't use hardware integration--thus, it will kill your battery faster. Just an FYI.
True. I'll be sure to test with both versions to see if colour optimizations affect the battery enough to be worth it.

Is it possible to get render effects like on cm7 on rooted, unlocked bootloader stock to, I also have cwm.
It will be cool to use night mode, it actually save battery on oled they said.

This is not true, you CAN get screen rendering just like night mode (like single colour only) by installing an application called Chainfire 3D. It's useful if you're at the movies or don't want to light up the whole room with the bright XP screen

You are my hero, I am going to download it now, thanks for the tip, this could be useful, I though that it only modify the 3D thing not the whole render of the phone.

No problem. It was actually one of the first things my girlfriend and I thought to try. We were quite disappointed. Now, it's actually pretty inconvenient (in my opinion) but an app exists (not sure of the name, if you are really interested let me know and I will hunt it down)
The app requires BOTH users to have the app installed and Bluetooth enabled.
It will allow you to use NFC to make the bluetooth link and send the picture over bluetooth. To me it doesn't sound like it's worth the effort, but it might possibly fit your needs.

Was going to suggest the same thing. Bump works with even gingerbread phones. It doesn't require you to turn on bluetooth.
I've successfully transferred web pages, contacts, and play store links via android beam but pictures don't work.

Nope, is Android Beam.
S-Beam is currently GS3 proprietary that used NFC to hook up WiFi-Direct for a hyper-boost in transfer speed.
Rechecked & Revised, Found out it was not supported in ICS. Android Beam in ICS mostly support in text based functions, on my guess the root cause was NFC's tiny bandwidth.
However, Google recently adding picture and video support into JB which will hook up bluetooth to speed up transferring. Ehhh~ Too bad, personally prefer S-Beam from Samsung which hook up WiFi-Direct for much better speed, though there are fewer devices compliance with WiFi-Direct now. Sammy, it time to show your commitment give that to Google...
Isn't the whole switch to wifi-direct thing how Bluetooth 3 works?

Use Bump. No wifi or bluetooth required.
So the Xperia T and the SGS3 can both do NFC transfers and yet the One X, one of the few other phones in that class, can't? That has left me beyond disgruntled. HTC really are a disgrace at times.

I want to replace my DHD, but Im not sure whether to choose a one x or galaxy note2.
Personally I love the design of one x and im fantastic about its UI, but after so many problem exposed im not so sure now.
galaxy note2 seems like a powerful phone, no interest on its UI but maybe a good phone.
I want to know if the problem with one x on the web is true and how good its performance is. i saw someone in DHD forum go back to DHD from one x, and not sure why.
Sorry for my messy expresson( maybe because im in mess....) but I do need some help
Hi. I do own both a DHD and a HOX. Since I bought a 64gb SD for the DHD and installed ICS on it I felt in love with my DHD again.
Don't get me wrong, HOX is a great phone! It's fast, makes great pictures and so on, but it has no place for an external SD card. I do want to have everything on my phone, from music to videos to games. With my HOX I have to watch carefully it's space.
If I were you, I would buy the galaxy s 3.
Press thanks, if it was helpful.

Lol there is an internal virtual SD card, of course it's possible to transfer stuff to and from a pc, leaving out such basic functionality would be ridiculous

better than iPhone; you do not need any iTunes like prog to transfer files, you can use OneX int storage as an usb storage as usual, mine is 32gb international model, I had also similar thoughts and hesitations as well at the beginning but this is not really a problem. I can easily transfer my camera shots, videos etc without problem.
The only concern, with my OneX, is wi-fi policy; it goes sleep when screen off, and this turns out a problem if you use it for ex. as remote control for other devices like tv, stereo etc in your home network like me, because reconnection to network is required each time you wake your phone, also the same issue makes streaming music via home network through your sound system unusable, just due to that. Otherwise, if you will not use your phone in that way, no any matters at all.
Note: in some custom roms this is already fixed afaik.

I think that the hox is the best phone on the market. My wife ownz a sensation, which is much better that the desire hd and the one x blows it away! The screen quality has no match and it is really fast. In the initial roms the hox had some problems but with that latest update from HTC everything works great.
I also use a custom rom which makes the one x to fly...
Buy the one that you like, all your options are great phones.
Get a Motorola razr maxx or wait and get a razr maxx hd.
Battery life is almost double, it is made by Google so you will get quick updates and there is an sd card slot.
I wish I knew it existed before I bought my one X.

Google bought Motorola for patents, they aren't in charge of their software updates.
Only Nexus devices get quick updates. No Motorola device (apart for the Xoom which is a Nexus) has got JB yet for example

Thanx for your pationt help,man.There's another thing coming to many mind that how much space we can use as Rom to install apps? If there is some storage work like the tf card, it cannot work like Rom at the same time.am I right on this?

It really depends on your network provider. I am living here in a deserted place in U.A.E and i haven't face this kind of problems yet.
If you pick One X, i am sure you'll not regret it, besides from its simple and good looking design, the phone itself is a beast, especially if you unlock your phone and install a custom rom, battery life will surely increase as well.

I like it. Very "KitKat" looking. I don't take many pictures nor do I care much about photography (obviously or I wouldn't have a Motorola.) The photos look better and brighter. Likely the UI or placebo I know. Regardless I like.

If you don't like it you can ways just use the "last" view on the list and it's basically identical to the old gallery.

LG opted to have less bloat so that's why. I think the camera is fine how it is, although options are always good.

Try this ... A Better Camera
I also recommend A Better Camera. It's what I use and I can confirm that even the free version allows you to control the ISO and White Balance settings (along with lots of other things too). I haven't seen anything about the stabilization settings, so I think you are out of luck there.
PS - you can change the stock action of holding down the volume down key when the screen is off and it can start A Better Camera instead of the stock camera if you want. That's what I do. I think I'm doing this with the G3 TweaksBox xposed module.
Image stabilization.... it's hardware, you can never turn it off

Try the stock Google Camera. I did several shots using it and the stock and favored the Google shots over the stock in 2 of the 4 comparisons. It doesn't have a lot of settings but ISO is one of them.
