[Q] set homescreen - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know if theres a way to set the home panel to whichever one you want?
Currently, only the far left panel seems to be home, and you can't change that.

No way to change it. The far left screen is always going to be the default.

I'm not sure. You can use a custom launcher if you'd like.

Help what is this notification from?

Help, what app is giving me the second message notification? I disabled the stock so as you can see hand cent is on. I can not figure out what the other one is. At one point I installed led me know, I feel like that screwed it up. I attached screens below.
Crap it won't let me attach a picture. Adding link, moment please.

It's the default messaging app. Go into the settings in the default app and disable notifications if you're going to use the Handcent ones.
The default is already disabled. The other comment is right, i installed beautiful widgets but I don't see where to disable notifications.

How is the other comment right? The only two notifications you show in the screenshots are default messaging and handcent.

It must be a glitch because default was disabled and it was still showing up. Once I deleted beautiful widgets and add on it went away. I think this was the same issue the other poster had.

Halo feature, paranoid android

What do you guys think about the new paranoid android halo feature? I think it's gonna be fantastic with PIE. The whole reason why i never switched to using PIE is because i couldn't keep track of notifactions easily.

I had the same experience with PIE. I never use it because I can't see my notifications when I turn my screen on quickly and turn it off, but Halo might solve that problem. However, I do have issues with PIE because it gives me issues with things at the very bottom of my screen like the space key. Sometimes I hit the key and it activates PIE instead of space (or whatever else I have down there are the moment).

You can move the trigger area to the left, right, or top for using pie.

Yes, but it creates the same issue for me. If I want to swipe the screen from right to left in an app it pulls out pie.
It's a minor issue and one I would surely get used to if I used it more, but it has still kept me from using it.
been impatiently waiting for this feature. hopefully it gets ported over to our build with the quickness. it looks great.

I know... thats why I wont use pie. Its a great feature, but it interferes with swipes. I just didn't know if you knew that you could change the trigger location.

Yeah, I too find pie more annoying than anything.
Maybe I'm just doing it wrong but I don't really see the need for pie. Maybe halo will change my mind

Me either, it makes a lot of sense on phones with on-screen softkeys, like the Nexus, but on a phone with dedicated hardware buttons like the GS3, it's totally unnecessary.

unless youre like me and dont use hardware buttons.
Ive always used pie or the navigation bar.
I hate using the buttons.
Pie is useful for shortcuts to activities or apps you use often.
Example: I may want to look at the weather or messaging app, or maybe even battery stats. But I'm in the middle of a different app. No need to close it and find the app on my home screen. I can just use pie.

Master chief will be rolling over in his grave on this development
I like the idea of HALO, but I haven't found a ROM yet where the blacklist function works as advertised. I'd like to have HALO not show me Tasker or Clipper (my clipboard manger), and blacklisting and whitelisting never work.
On the PIE tangent, it's nice to be able to do things like sticking in a shortcut to a Tasker task to the app drawer, so you can get to your app drawer without having to go to the home screen first. Having 2 rows available as in some ROMs gives lots of quick options.
waitting for the apk
I love the lmt launcher I hope they make halo a apk file so I can install it like lmt on my moar ROM
Could someone explain the pie feature to me? I don't get the point when we have physical buttons. It makes sense on a nexus 4 since it only has on screen buttons.

just personal preference. I just dont like using the buttons. once you get teh gestures down its quick and responsive. it also adds some real estate to the screen over the nav bar. that with halo allows for full screen use which i like.
you can turn it off in every rom ive ever used.

[Q] Extended power menu for Nexus 5 rooted?

He doesn't mean quick settings in the notification window. He means additional options in the power menu (reboot to recovery, reboot to bootloader, etc).
To answer your question, I unfortunately have no idea.
Seconded. I've done a little research before and it seemed to require a lot of gritty work (but that was back when I had a MotoX). I'll start peeking around to see if I can get something working, that would be a nice addition to a great device.

Just about to comment that ^ I would recommend xposed/gravity box in either case so I would use that method.

Notification bottom of pull-down

Looking for a way to have notifications display from bottom to top instead of top to bottom of the pull down menu. Does anyone know how to get this option either by messing with the system or xposed? Trying to minimize the long stretch to the top of the screen with my thumb.
You can see by reset.

You need to trick your phone into tablet mode. Not sure how exactly without a custom rom maybe perapp hacking with xposed

anyways.....
anyone using the app notice the home and mulitask buttons are slightly larger than the back key?
edit: original post updated...
I'm using SoftKeysz and observing some "ghosting" behavior where the "up graphic" ^ overlays the home key, which causes the home key to stop responding. the only fix is a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this behavior and/or have a fix i might try? thanks!
EDIT: Fixed, something related to XBlast or GravityBox options i selected. I thought i had disabled them, but i didn't. I disabled both apps and ghosting went away, will have to see which option (if any) was the causing my problem.

By chance did you backup your stock m8 keys is softkeyz? If so can you attach them here? I did not backup mines and the ones available in-app don't have the stock find button.

Mine themed, but most of the time one button (in my case the recents)...was huge. and wouldn't correct itself for some reason, even if I used GravityBox to shrink the Navbar. No idea...guess I'll wait for the next update..I really like it though - lots of cool designs on there.
