If you want to get rid of the search bar you have to install another launcher. You can't disable it when using the stock launcher.
The notification light should indeed light up in white color when you get a message. You can install LightFlow from the Play Store to give different notifications different colours.
To add a new home screen just pick an app from the applauncher and place it on the last homescreen on the right. That should be an empty one and automatically creates a new screen.

On stock you can of course flash a custom kernel. That should be no problem.

Out of the box charging light doesn't work. If you use LightFlow now it should work. But it could be a bit wonky since it is not optimized for 4.4 yet, I guess.

Wifi is draining power

Hy
My asus is working fine, but when I let my Wifi on and have my dock attached I lose 10% in 12 hours
Can anyone help me with a few ideas?
Thanks guys
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk
i simply turn off the wifi when im not going to be usung it for a while. it uses a lot of Push data delivery systems so thats why i think it would drain as quick as it does..
thats crazy! I'm having a similar problem, i turn on my screen and it seems to lose power faster than when i don't have it on!!!!
Whatever could my problem be!

My WIFI uses battery power, rather than the power of greyskull, to function.

You are funny, and I am sorry
It's losing power while I turned it off or better I put it to sleep and it still using lots of power without doing anything
I hope that is a little bit better?
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk
Like I said.. simple solution, disable the wifi. Or change the apps to not Push or to pull for updates over longer time intervals so reduce the ti,e wifi needs to stay connected in the background. when I've just disabled wifi the battery drain is next to nothing.
EDIT: There is also the option to auto-disable wifi when the screen is off in the settings

LED notification and brightness for stock 2.3.4?

On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.
Thanks !
Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.

Try LG Optimus 2x Touch Key Lights. That really works to adjust to light level of these touch keys =)

On the new 2.3.4.. every time I get a txt, my screen turns on for just a sec or 2... I can't find a way to keep the screen off on received txts. Kinda stupid if i'm in a txt conversation w/ someone.. screen keeps coming on.

There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.

ha, not while i'm texting... duh, the screen would need to be on for that, haha. When I receive a text, the screen turns on. The other day I was txting with a friend then I got into the middle of something and she sent another 5txts.. and the screen kept turning on. Pretty wasteful on the battery..

Light flow HELP ME

Why am I having so much trouble getting light flow to work? I just had it working fine on my galaxy Nexus so I definitely know how to set it up but no matter what I do it won't work.
Are there any special settings I need to turn on or off?

Make sure Light flow is checked in accessibility settings. So currently, having an "always on" notification for any one setting will mess with the other settings. Dev is working on a fix. other than that it should be working.
What exactly is happening on your end, you didn't give a lot of detail?

No prob. I emailed the dev, he says he is working on a fox, so it shouldn't be too long now.

I understand that I wasn't trying to be rude I was curious.
I've been using lightflow since my OG Droid so I know how good the dev is.

Yeah for sure. The main reason I thought I was doing something wrong was because Droid life posted an article that gave me the impression the "always on" was working.

You should be starting to get the update now. I've done a workaround for always on as the LG drivers just don't accept it. I'd class the "always on " option for the Nexus 5 as being "almost always on"
Updated the app now, will see how it goes
I still seem to be getting notification light illuminated after the notification has been read.
Addmitedly I don't have it running as a foreground service.
Anyone know of a way to get rid of the lightflow notification in the pull down shade? I like to keep that area clean for notifications. I know other apps offer an option to disable that notification.

Uncheck the option that is "Run as foreground service" or similar.

Does that disable the app or any of its features?

I feel the screen is calibrated very nicely after the update. I even lost the yellow banding at the bottom. It's barely noticeable now.
