Optimus Nexus Me is a custom rom based off CyanogenMod7 and currently developed by <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4794403" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Yash98</a> at xda-developers forums. From the looks of it, the point of this rom is to give users the Nexus 4 feel and look, judging by how it is themed on the screenshots. It is a very light in size rom and has all of the bloatware removed, even most Google apps, but you are left with Play Store and Google Search.<br />

Have you ever wanted to use air gestures similar to the ones that the flagship phone - Galaxy S4 does? Well your dream has partially come true as xda-developers member <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2945040" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">forgin</a> has developed this neat app that simulates the S4 air gestures. The best part about this is that it's free and it requires Android 2.2 and above.<br />
<br />
The app uses the proximity sensor that the Galaxy Y has on the front, so now you won't only use the proximity sensor for shutting off the screen while making calls, but for a lot more things. Please note that the video you will watch below does not show all of the features the app offers, explore the rest by your own.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Main features: </span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Set apps to open with all the available gestures.</li>
<li>Silence alarm.</li>
<li>Silence incoming call.</li>
<li>Switch betwen recent apps (like back and forward behaviour)</li>
<li>Fast go to home screen</li>
<li>QuickGlance like Galaxy S4 has!!!</li>
<li>Control your music player (next/previous/pause/resume) even with screen off!!!</li>
<li>Shake phone during a call to activate/deactivate speakerphone.</li>
<li>Answer incoming call, just put your phone near to your ear (its like Hover Hold)</li>
<li>Lock/Unlock screen with hand slides!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h2>
For rooted users:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Slide betwen your photos in your image gallery (1 slide->next, 2 slides->previous)</li>
<li>Scroll up and down in your browser (1 slide->down, 2 slides->up. Not all browser are supported).</li>
</ul>

Installing the app is pretty simple. Download either the APK from the xda-developers forum attachment or purchase the app from the Play Store. Then after you install the app, it will give you a screen where you need to enable it as a device administrator, so don't worry, just enable it and you are done.<br />
