LED - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to the nexus line and want to take full advantage of the beautiful LED I now have. Can someone point me in the direction of a quality app. I tried LITE FLOW (I think that was what it was called) didn't work, oh and by the way I'm rooted on cataclysm stockish ROM. Any help would be great.
Gracias.

Light Flow should be working okay now, it's gotten some updates recently. The dev is active on XDA so you could give it another try and if it doesn't work still, try asking for help. Other than that, the only alternative I know of is LEDBlinker Notifications.

Light Flow is by far the best. It can take some getting used to and can be overwhelming at first with all the options, but once you get used to it it's amazing!

That's how I felt. There are options galore with that application.
All I'm looking for is something very simple. Make gmail red, hangouts green, bbm blue, etc. That's it.

should work perfect for that, Liteflow has worked flawlessly since the first N5 update for me. I've got missed calls on red, primary email blue, hangouts green, calender white and they all work exactly as intended.

I'm using light manager and it do work fine for simple task...make a try

What color should i make the accents? I was going with yellow, but I'm not sure that that many people would like it. Multiple colors can be made but a little direction would be great to start off with
I think I would like an orange color to go with the gray.

OK... so for the people that want this theme... what rom are you running?
CyanogenMod is what I'm theming on because it's what I prefer and what most of you will be using in times to come, but I can get this up and running on sense as well. The status text on CM is also easily changed via spare parts
Keep in mind that status bar text is not editable on any rom that is not de-odexed so your text will be white rather than orange.
Anyone feel like testing? theme run's great but feedback is always nice
Beta released for CM 5.0.8 test 3. Please let me know how you guys like it. I'm taking a break for tonight and will work more tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll edit progress bars to be orange and finish up the framework. After that I'll jump into apps.
You guys want orange icons too?

I didn't think I'd like having the on-screen buttons, but tried it anyway. Turns out I really like them and never use the regular ones now. Also a good substitute since the hard buttons never light up anymore.
Looks really awesome!!! Can't wait to try it. Many Thanks for the great job you guys did.

No problem man, just trying to do my part in keeping the EVO alive..haha
Man what you guys do is nothing short of amazing! Much thanks for all the hard work and countless hours (i cant even imagine) that you guys put into development.
Not only does this display immense talent, but the knowledge is incredible. Personally, what you devs/themers do cannot be given enough thanks.
I dont know what kind of background you all have, but I am sure I am not the only one here that is extremely jealous...lol, and would give my left nut to have the time, patience and know how to put something like this together.
Like some others here my Evo is close to 2 years old, but with continued development like this I really dont even feel my Evo is old or outdated. I feel for the Apple crowd...lol.
GOD i hope teams such as yourselves come to the Asus Transformer Prime side and show what it can do. Like HTC I cant wait for Asus to give us the key to unlock the boatloader.
Thanks so much guys. It may take awhile for this dumb a$$ to figure out how to download and install this properly, but I plan on loving every minute that I search and find answers until I finally get it correct.
Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to beat the crap out of my brain this weekend, and avoid the "honey-do list" around the house.

I can't tell you how much I'd appreciate that. I just installed a contacts apk that does that, but instead of the gorgeous blue gradient behind dialer, its flat black....ugly. would LOVE if you could figure it out.
I also installed the mod cuz it made contacts apk black instead of bright white, but damn, if someone knew how to make contacts NOT bright white, AND have dialer have t9 function....be forever indebted.

Really all I did was swap the apk's, similar to what you did I think. I'm gonna put it in flashable zip format (hopefully tomorrow) to make it easy. Mine has the blue gradient on the dialer, but not sure what I did different from you...

Here's a bit of a mod to add T9 dialer to Evervolv. I honestly can't remember where I got the files from myself, but they're originally from CM9's source (if I find where I got them I'll edit this to thank them).
Add T9 Dialer to Evervolv
Remove T9 Dialer from Evervolv
I tested these on my phone (Evervolv p7) and they work fine. They'd probably work on Deck's or JTG's ICS roms as well, but I haven't tried it myself.

My mod has the blue gradient behind the dialer (at least it does for me) but still has the bright white contacts. I think I could figure out how to change that, but I won't have the time to play with it for another few weeks . I'm pretty sure you'd just have to modify the Contacts.apk...?

I have used HandcentSMS for a couple years now. They have a lot of add on things for it, from color, to seasonal themes. All sorts of things you can do with it. And it is Free.

Yeah, I've used Handcent on every android device I've had, going way back to my HTC Incredible. I may go back again, but I'm kind of enjoying the Stock experience on my G2.
To be honest, I never even tried the stock sms app. I just kept using handcentsms.

Just wanted to share this link. This MMS app works perfectly on my moto x and gives you total control with all color options.
It's a lot like 8sms but with a hex editor. Anyway, I'm super thankful to the folks that made it and even though it's on the nexus 5

Thanks for sharing. It works great on my Moto X Dev.Ed. too.
Just tested on Verizon Moto X and everything seems to work perfectly, even with the motorola connect extension, which seemed to have issues with other messenger replacements.
Nice Find. Work perfectly on my Verizon DE Moto X.

Not that I know of. Picture quality seems to me, linked and about the same as just using the regular camera app. The X's camera has taught me patiences... just standing there waiting for it to get the focus just right. If I shoot too quick I tend to get less than quality shots. All in all I have huge amount of disparity between one shot to the next. Maybe someone else knows.

Any advise on black.

I'm looking for an app or something that will give me a black theme, icons, most importantly when I open an app (like CNN, PlayStore, etc.) It will have a black background with white text.
I tried using the inversion setting but is then trows off my already black wallpaper to looking white and stuff. I have vision issue which is why I am looking for this.
I am running stock but am rooted. I was Running the carbon rom for this but got tired of installing nightlies for hammerhead. I'm just going to wait until they have a production version.
Thanks in advance,

Just curious, but is the reason for wanting black everything to try and conserve battery life? Because as far as I know that only works for AMOLED displays.

Search black icons in the store, heres one recommendation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.threekzerothree.softinsetroundicons.black
Use slimROM, a lot of people have this thing for black and holo blue and that is what slim uses, and you can enable darkslim or whatever. I think they have a milestone so you can load that and it will be stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-slimkat-hammerhead-t2511512
Go for Mahdi ROM and flash Slim GAPS with it.

Check out team black out. They have flashable zips for tons of apps even for Google now. That way you can keep stock Rom and the okay Google functionality and have blacked out apps. That's what I have, and it's awesome.

You already have the Team Blacked Out link so here is a more obscure theming app. This app allows you to override the colors on most Web pages. It works with both browsers and apps that display html pages within the app itself (eg. Flipboard). I use it on both my Nexus 5&10. Read how it works and how to install here:
[HOW-TO] Blacked out theme effect for Web pages (needs root)
A theme able alternative to YouTube which has some additional features is called Viral. Find it on the play store. That app allows no end of UI Color theming.
You can also use the XPosed framework and two modules (Gravity Box and HKTheme Manager) to implement dark themes including Color finer tuning nav and status bars. Here is a dark theme on the playstore which works with HKTheme Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/theme-black-blue-infinitum-theme-t2597690
Good luck
I like to thank everyone for their suggestions. Based on all the information everyone contributed to this thread I was able to customize my phone to work with the dark themes. Again this was requested because of some vision issues I have and despite one individual who decided to rant off without reading why I requested this, everyone else's suggestions help me set up my phone to work perfectly. Thank you all again.
