Any chance of it coming in white?

I don't know about you all but I'd love a really white (ie no black screen with a white backplate) n5. So far the leaks make the phone look really ugly and cheap. I know we buy the nexus for its guts and software... Not its looks but it may look so bad in pictures because of the matte soft touch black paint. If you examine the pictures closer it has a very clean design.
To get to the point, this phone would look really elegant I think in white. Not since my original g1 have I had an all white phone, AMD certainly not a white nexus. I know beggars can't be choosers, but if Google ever wanted the nexus line to be a commercial success instead of just a Dev line for their new software, options like this would be awesome.
Given that zero of these leaks have revealed anything other than a black phone, I'm SOL.

Well white would be nice however all the leaks show a matte back and we all know matte white doesn't work(HTC One X)

Not that this means anything, but some of the case makers have renders of it in white. Regardless, i think google likes the oreo look of "white" devices, so i dont think they'll make a white bezeled phone anytime soon.

may be released with white as well...

Here's my quick (And bad) photoshop of how the Nexus 5 should really look like in white based on the leaked box's images.

I think this is fake
Even i photoshopped the nexus 5 black picture and got something similar to this.
This is just an inverted pic of original nexus 5 pic and it took less than a minute to do it..

Oh yah lol good eye the white nexus on the box has a black camera lens too.

Yeah the image looks legit as it follows other nexus packaging and the N5 displayed on it as a black front face just like the white version of the N4

[APP] Xpaper - Wallpapers to Match Your MotoMaker Moto X

My latest Android app has been published. It's an app aimed at Moto X owners who have custom colored (Wood included) devices from MotoMaker. It supplies those users with wallpapers that match their devices custom color. As a Moto X owner, myself, I found this to be very difficult to do. Therefore, I made this app to ease everyone's troubles, including mine. The app is available on the Google Play Store for 99 cents.
Please try it out and leave feedback!

I spent a lot of time on it, and am continuing to spend a lot of time crafting the wallpapers. If a useful app like this isn't worth a dollar to you, then that's fine.
(sorry if that comes off as mean, it's not meant to be )

How would I know if it's useful to me if all I have to go by are the screen shots and no trial available.

You have 15 minutes to refund.

OK, so gave it a whirl and like it, good job. One suggestion for improvement: instead of immediately setting a wallpaper, show it full-screen first.
Good app. But you should still consider a trial version with watermarked wallpapers

Version 1.1.0 is out. It adds a loading indicator so the user knows that it is actually doing something while there used to be a blank screen. Modified the No Network connection page to look nicer, and there have been quite a few wallpapers added.

Just bought to show support. But, where's the black/white woven back love? (I have the black)

I just bought this too. Keep up the good work on it! Would love to see some different wood grains so we can match it closer to our backs (thinner and thicker patterns, if that makes sense).

Thanks! I will consider having different grain variations for the wood options. I've been pretty busy with college as of late, so that's why there haven't been any new wallpapers recently/

just get FKU and use the colour profiles to adjust it, all the screens will be slightly different colour depending on manufacturing run so you have to tweak it to normal manually

from your OTHER thread thats the same.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54123818&postcount=4
every single screen will variate, every one will be slightly different. and the screen color itself will change depending what kind of light you are standing in. his yellow screen might look much better in sunlight or fluorescent light, then in the incandescent light you are in.

What is FKU?

The yellow screen will get whiter with use. Give it a couple weeks

Franco Kernel Updater... it's one of several kernal tweakers. A custom kernal like Franco allows you to change the color profile or if you install ElementalX, you can choose a pre-defined cooler color profile during the installation without the need for a kernel tweaker.

If you ask me, the right one looks a little bluish :silly:
If it does wither away (I doubt it), well and good otherwise you will need a custom kernel which supports gamma calibration by which you can set profiles to change the color.

I don't think it will but this is the perfect opportunity to test it.
OP, report back to us in a couple weeks if there are any changes. I think that most people's eyes just adjust to the slight yellow hue but with another screen to compare against, the difference will remain visible.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Low Light Test

Hi guys,
Got my hands on a European S7 for a day or two, I won't go into details but here are some low light camera shots.

Much appreciated. Do they look over exposed to you? Is it the best camera you've ever used?
I've ordered but am not excited, my nexus 6p is doing just fine
And finally, are we Europeans getting the EXYNOS?

I think this is Exynos but I cannot be certain. Any application I use to check the specs comes back as "Processor Unknown"
In regards to the pictures, all I can say is the first few were taken in extremely dark environments and whilst I was pleased with the results when viewing on screen, when enlarged they are not fantastic.
HOWEVER I don't think I have ever used a camera on a smartphone as good as this in low light. In normal lighting conditions, the 6S Plus (my daily driver) seems better but this is without extensive testing, the S7 really shines in low light situations.
It's as great camera and I doubt anybody will have any issues with its performance.
In regards to the S7 itself, there is the occasional lag on the operating system however all in all it builds on last year and it's much smoother.
I've owned every Galaxy S device, and by far this is the best generation but anybody coming from an S6 will struggle to be excited. It's certainly not as fluid as a 6P, which I have owned too.

I would think because that is how most people actually take pictures when it is dark... So it is a real world test, not some theoretical/lab nonsense.
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Really for a low light test you really shouldn't be using the flash lol.

Maybe so, but pretty much everyone I know leaves the settings all on auto, which usually uses the flash when it's dark.

I just said that as the title suggests low light test, meaning not even the flash.

Hello
Some of my low light pictures taken with SM-G935F

I think the photo are very good. Of course you use flash light in this condition.

If you use the flash which we all know is a light source then how can you test how the camera performs in low light?

Hiding the hole punch. Is there a way?

Is there a way to hide the hole punch to make it look like the notch on LG phones? Or, even better, make the whole top a black status bar? On my OP6T I could hide the notch and the notifications and status bar would remain on each side; on Samsung phones it pushes everything down, which is stupid design choice.

I found an app that works. It's called Nacho Notch and it's pretty neat. You can black out the hole punch and keep the status bar and notifications on each side, and it can black out the navigation bar. It also lets you customise the corners. It's a pretty awesome app which so far is bug free. Not sure if it will drain battery or not as I just started using it 15 minutes ago.

Wow...good find trying it now. Really like the rounded corners.

When you said wall I thought you meant wallpaper. I know what you mean now.
I personally do not like pitch black themes, but prefer dark themes. I use Hex installer. I haven't tried substratum in a long time. Has it improved over the past year? The last time I used it i always had issues with certain things not theming properly. Hex Installer works really good and is pretty powerful when it comes to what you can do with it.
