If your N5 is rooted and and you can install a custom rom. CatalystROM does have that option for you to disable that gesture from home. Give it a go.

Theres also an app called "Google Now Swipe Disabler" which can bind to it and do nothing. The gesture still remains though, very annoying in games!

Remove search bar

Is it possible to remove the Google Search bar from my stock launcher. It just bugs me being there, so have to use a Apex which I don't like using a 3rd party launcher.

The OP mentioned he doesn't want a third party launcher. You can try disabling Google Search. It worked on other versions of Android but I don't know if it will still work. One thing; anything that relies on search will not work.
I want it out of there as well, I've been on android since the begining and I have an exact layout I use. That location is where my clock widget goes and there isn't a chance in hell I will use their stock launcher until it can be moved.
visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google"
I would love to be able to simply visually disable that "Search bar", while still having the "Ok Google" voice function working (don't mind loosing the Google Now swipe too)!
if there is an app or some hack that can be applied to stock tooted ROM, pleas let me know.
Thanks

Apex Launcher

Is it possible to make the notification bar transparent and also the 3 touch buttons, like on stock launcher.

Not yet. There should hopefully be an update to the launchers in the play store soon to allow this.

Yeah, I'm trying to like the stock launcher, but despite how pretty it is, I missed being able to change orientation and having more icons on the screen. I feel like the icons are oversized on stock.

Another PIE option

I'm a fan of lmt but it's a little tough to set up. This is more like Paranoid pie but different. Both apps can function at the same time too.
Copy of Dev's op. The free download apk is in the thread and also a link to the play store to donate to the developer.
****************************
Pie Control
Ohai Pie! 
First things first. This is not Paranoid Android's Pie.
What is this app?
An app like Paranoid Android's Pie feature with a lot of functions and features.
What this isn't?
This is not real Pie feature of PA.
Why is root needed?
Root is needed for some functions. Although some functions can be used without root, I did not allow it as people would ask why the other features do not work.
SCREENIES
FEATURES
1. Can be called over any screen.
2. Fully customisable trigger points and pie.
3. Light weight.
4. Best part? Compatible all the way from Froyo for the first time!
Controls available
* Home
* Back
* Menu
* Volume Up
* Volume Down
* Power Off
* Play Store
* Search
* Pie Settings
* Music Controls
* Recents Apps
Please tell me if there's any bug so I can fix it.
This is just the intial release. I'll keep adding features accordingly.

Click the link in the op. It goes to the dev's thread. It's not a launcher at all, just sits in the side or bottom and like you see in the pics you can add shortcuts that will be available on any screen your on.

pie v touchwizwhich ma
pie options are pretty sweet but for some reason i just have to have my touchwiz features for s-pen. switching between roms its more of a preference only option between the two. I like the best of both worlds. i switch roms every week lol sometimes more then once a week depending on whats new the devs deliver today lol.
so much and so many good projects to choose from all excellent work

No. I believe you need root. Why would you want to remove the nav bar anyways?

Definitely needs root :/ It is not hard though, quite easy (Did it in 10 minutes), that along GravityBox for KitKat did the trick (No NavBar and Pie Controls give you ALL the screen for the apps!)
Yes there is an app for this and it works too. Its paid but not much. Its still in beta though...works in most apps/games too. But there are some bugs too. You can try out if you haven't rooted already
I am a new user so I cant post the link. Just search "immersive" in play store and its ususally the first result. Hope it helps.

That's weird, it's not working for me either. Say "wake me up" instead of set alarm.

No clue. I know that it used to work.
I just said "Set an alarm for 6am" and it worked. It must want a time maybe for an alarm? Maybe what you were trying to do was better as a timer. Like "set a timer for 20 minutes" which works.
