Doesn´t the fact that you can see it in screenshots proof it´s a software problem?

thank god its only a software problem, thanks for replying.
how can i fix this?
i tried flashing stock rom and stock kernel but it still happens.
i am currently on stock deodexed rom and franco kernel

A lot of ROMs let you change the DPI, maybe it has something to do with that. But I don't know what the hell those weird dots are in the second screenshot.
You could ask around in the franco kernel thread, if that's the only thing you've changed. When did this problem occur for the first time? Right after you flashed the kernel?

Kernel had nothing to do with it. Definitely ROM fault.

Embarrassing that someone loves you? Nah, of course not! But we're getting a tad off-topic. If you were already experiencing this problem before you were rooted, it has nothing to do with that. Was it this way the second you turned on your Nexus 4 for the first time ever? Right after you bought it?

Flash it with stock and check if it is a S/W issue !?
If not ... RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER ! and RMA ! something mst be fishy with the H/W then !
Although I dont think that's a H/W issue

this is not 100% correct. if there is something wrong with the GPU or the memory for the GPU then its quite common that it will cause artifacts these artifacts would also show up in a screenshot because the errors/ issue is being rendered.
so reflash stock images if you still see it then you have to RMA, or contact lg for repairs. it MAY be a hardware problem. so just its a screen shot does not instantly make it a software issue.

I'd say flash stock ROM but 4.2 without any ota and carry on from there

Neldar: I already had a look at the nexus s sources and there is no way documented to control the touchkey backlight.
So i need access to a nexus s to check if there is an undocumented way.

For anyone who is wondering about BLN this is the answer i got today from the dev himself.
Thus, if anyone is knowledgable enough to help him out in accessing things in the nexus S we may finally figure out if we can get it

I think so, because it requires you to flash a .zip, much like a rom, in addition to installing the apk.

BackLight Notifier/Notifications
Basically to get around the fact that the phone has no LED alert, BLN (originally for the Galaxy S, but the same problem arises with the Nexus S) uses the phone's capacitive buttons as notification lights, flashing them like a normal LED. This is different to NoLED (a software based solution), as it requires a bit of hacking, as most phones do not have a way to control the capacitive buttons by default.

BACK LIGHT NOTIFICATION. its a subsitution for not having LED notifications. its built into the kernel so we'll see the dev will work with someone experienced that owns a nexus s. i hope.
Couldn't one of the google employees that post here point him in the right direction?
I'm sure they have access to any information he might need. After all, they are the ones developing the operating system for the phone. It would be in the spirit of openess
any progress with BLN??

no i'm just wondering because it would seem a color issue seems like something chainfire is meant for, and I just wanted to confirm if you tested it or not.

Atrix is not listed as supported device as of yet. Photon works so I am assuming a fix is on its way. Chainfire 3D does not make a difference to the purple/pink tint
It's not just you.

I downloaded it after reading this thread and I can load games and all but the screen is kind of pink indeed.

found out how
Dowload "filter your screen" from the market and when installed apply a greenish tint.
You may have to mess around with the color.
Update was just released and it resolves this issue.

That's a naughty Nexus 7 you got there. I hope it's fixed now. If not try deleting all the porno from your device. That should stop it from touching itself.
You are all wrong! You should sit down with your n7 and explain its perfectly natural to be curious....and if it wants to touch itself....to only do it in private and don't feel ashamed. Every tab does it!!!

I would spank my n7 if he'd touch himself. That's not how a gentleman behaves.

Request for Dual Shot APK... Mine does not work

Whenever I go into dual shot and try to take a pic... As soon as I click on the dual shot icon my camera (both front and rear facing cameras) freeze and I cannot see what I am taking a picture of. I have only got it to work 2 times so far. Hopefully it's just a bad Dual Shot APK that I have and not faulty hardware. Anyone have the dual shot APK that'd be greatly appreciated!! Every other camera mode works fine.

Well.... I'm expecting my current one to Brick beyond repair. You know how man EVO 4G LTEs I blew thru? A few lol! But the HTCs are much different. Honestly, Odin is amazing. With HTC you had a exe file to run, but it was perfect Eveeytime. I don't ever see myself going back. But Sammy has proven to me it's much easier to theme certain parts of the system.

I think this is kernel related, i just tested it on stock mdl no other mods and flashd kt kernel. It locks up as soon as the cam goes into dual mode. Weird, but very minor annoyance

Wow so weird... I was literally JUST about to test if it was KT Kernel doing this. I will notify him of this and maybe there is a workaround for it! I thought it was either a mod or the kernel... turns out it's the kernel. Not too big of a deal, but like you said, yes it is a minor annoyance lol.
thanks
I am looking for this dual shot APK also , hope can work on someother phone
