The very first thing that I want to find out for long time after getting my Google Nexus 4 ~ how fast is the Qualcomm APQ8064 CPU chip inside? Slow, Nominal, Fast or Faster bin? The faster bin means you can overclock and undervolt better than other bins. So you can get better performance, battery life and generate less heat if configure correctly. Want to know yours? Just use Terminal Emulator to find out. Note – Root access is required.
Kernel is the heart of operating system including Android. Therefore, the better kernel you have, the better performance and more features you will have. Same apply to Google Nexus 4. Overclocking, undervolting voltage control, multiple tweaked CPU governors, GPU overclocking, I/O tweaks, USB force fast charge, gamma control, Fsync control are some of the features in Nexus 4 custom kernel. You will get more out of it after tweak here and there manually. If tweak well, you will get better performance, more battery life and cooler LG Nexus 4.
Come on, left Adobe Flash Player alone. Don’t install it on Android Jelly Bean anymore. Yes, Flash is not supported officially on Android since Jelly Bean by Adobe.

So don’t be cruel. Here is the way to enable Adobe Flash Player on Nexus 4.
Oh no, my Google Nexus 4 hangs at during boot after installed custom modification. What should I do? Simple, just restore back to your existing Nandroid backup will do. Of course, you need to have copy of backup Nexus 4 with CWM first in order to do a Nandroid restore. Else you need to find other way to fix your fail boot issue. Restore is as simple as backup. Just few clicks and you are done and have a working Nexus 4 back…
Remove bloatware on Google Nexus 4? Seriously, is that needed? Well, it is up to personally choice to define bloatware. For me, I still don’t use some of the stock Google Android 4.2 Jelly Bean features. And some of them are loaded and running by default. It uses up a bit system resources like RAM and CPU. System apps like Currents, Earth, Google+, Local, Maps, Movie Studio and Navigation are considered bloatware to me. Therefore, it is better to disable them if you are not using them at all.
