[Q] GEL, Stock Launcher 4.4 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just ran the 4.4 emulator, when I realized it has the 4.2/4.1 launcher.
Does this mean that G.E.L is proprietary?
Does this mean, CMIIW, it either comes through the Play Store for compatible devices <4.4 ;or not at all (bc GApps only apply to specific API levels.)
I'm probably wrong knowing myself :victory:
Peace

4.0 apk compatibility

Is there a way to make 4.0 apk compatible for devices running 2.3
no, apps that require 4.0+ to work need features present on 4.0+ to work, which 2.3 lacks

I think the only way is to upgrade your OS or use modified OS like cyanogen or others. If your phone spec doesn't match the minimum requirement for upgade, you need to buy a new phone that use OS 4.0 or more.
As far that I know, we can't change the apk compatibility.

Google Now Launcher

Google Now Launcher is working on my Galaxy Tab 7.7
Maybe you want to try.
Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561057, download and install Google Search and Google Home apk. Maybe it's necessary to install new Google play services first.
And done.
Works great on my device.

I don't know where you're from but if you're fine with English language stock Rom from Singapore works great. But to be honest it's not snappier or more stable it's just nicer. The new stuff works finally

System update OFF

Hi, i can at Nexus 5, disable system updates on a lollipop? I want to have a KitKat, but in settings-phone- details download system updates is not an option to cancel the notice of the availability of OTA.
Other phones here have the option not to notice, nexus 5 no
Huh?
He wants to know how to stop the Lollipop OTA from coming through to his KitKat device. More precisely, he is concerned about the persistent notification.

And here we are getting impatient coz Google haven't given us the OTA update. Google really need to sort their issues out. People who want the OTA update should be able to get it and people who don't should be able to refuse it.
Google makes available the previous version of Android, but does not allow the previous version of the system have to leave. Why is it then makes available ???

Yes, your English is bad. I still don't understand what you are saying. The good folks at Google make factory images for older versions of Android available and what's your beef with that?
I want to have to stand in the Nexus 5, KitKat. And I do not know how to disable the warning system on new lollipop.
Here I wonder why Google makes available for all Nexus devices older version of Android, we can not be then in tlelefonu permanently.

1. Do not stand on your phone. You'll break it.
2. I wasn't aware Lollipop came with a warning system. What does it warn you of?
3. 'tlelefonu' isn't a word. What are you trying to say here?
1. I dont anderstandt you.
2. My sister wants to update her favorite game supports only Dalvik. And she got used to the KitKat and wants a new environment, my sister does not like the lollipop system. The materials nor design is not like her to.
3. correction:
Otherwise, I wonder why Google makes available for all Nexus devices older version of Android, we can not be the phone permanently.

When you long press the notification, and it takes you to the Apps section, do you have the option to ignore notifications from it?
Are you rooted? Are you on Dalvik? If you are on Dalvik, get Xposed and GravityBox.

I believe what he is asking is:
1 - is there a way to stop kitkat from displaying that there is an update available.
2 - Why does Google make older versions available if, when you flash them, you still get a persistent notification to update.
His sister wants to stay on kitkat because her favorite game needs Dalvik and won't run on lollipop.

GooGooMuck Yes it is. She has Dalvik and not root.
So far, nobody knows how to help us.
Once stable month-tested rom lollipop, so maybe update lollipop.
I wanted to write to other sections, perhaps should my topic noticed someone experienced android-people user.

Please do not write to other sections. If someone knows how to help, this is the best place to ask.
Unfortunately I am unaware of a way to stop the update notifications without having root.

Ohhh, finally I get it. Well,
1. No, there isn't. Not without root.
2. Same reason why they send update notifications to 1% of the Nexus device user base, while the rest of us wait in agony. Look at your example for instance... you're being pestered about the 5.0 update even when you don't want it. A friend of mine, he's studying overseas and left his Nexus 7 with his 56 year old mother, when leaving his home country, for Skyping n stuff. His mom now keeps asking him what an "Android 5.0 System Update" is and how to get rid of the notification, while he bangs his head against the wall with his KitKat Nexus 5 and his d*ck in his hand.
lol sorry this icon -question mark , i make testing functions
Before the KitKat without errors, it took a month or two months? (4.4.3 Nexus5)
After this experience with Android, a sister like to wait for a stable release, or lollipop never want.
I am changing in my Motorola moto g settings for morelocale2, wets pm adb commands (non-root) settings. To cancel the update notification system on a lollipop pm command does not exist?
So I got it, just disable the app OTA. Happy, i go back KitKat
edit: my motorola has the option to disable OTA (in Settings -> Applications) but nexus 7 2012 my father anymore.
I think that the Nexus 5 will be the same problem
I found that when kit kat ignore the call for availability OTA, so after 14 days to report ...... and will KitKat is 4rever

AOSP rom isn't fully working yet. Even if it gets fully stable, we have to wait quite long time before that..
I would be so happy when we would get Marshmallow's Custom Rom's for Xperia M2. I guess it will take a lot of time like another year or so to appear on the internet fully functioning and working how it should. Also can someone explain what does AOSP mean ? I have heard this word a lot but don't know for what it is used, sorry, I'm new here.

AOSP (Android Open Source Program) is pure Android system without any google apps and services or any other additions.
In my personal opinion it's the best rom for mid-range device like we have. Despite lack of customizations.
One we get fully working AOSP I flash it immediately and I will compile it on my own with all updates from Google.

Well then it might be something for me because I hate this all bloat which comes with every smartphone you buy (Google Movie, Google Newsstand,Xperia Lounge and other crap like this). You said that AOSP is a pure Android system so does that mean after you install it, it lacks apps like Google Play or Gmail and Youtube ? Also is AOSP released by Google or some third party company and what do you mean by lack of customisation ?
I THINK
they are only for developers . we have to wait until some one build the stable system.. am I right?

I uploaded it to my google drive, here is the link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx2X76GhQpwDWjJxamhXNzBDX00/view?usp=drivesdk
Note: I suppose this version need google based launcher, so you need to install Google Now Launcher to use (or other google based launchers)
I'm sorry if this post is duplicated. This work is NOT credited to me
Edit: work in stock 5.1 with google now launcher
