One feature I've been missing from ROMs is the ability to swipe up from the home button to the left or right and access custom shortcuts.
Is this implemented into any ROMs yet?
Also, I've been seeing more AOSP roms. Are they more stable now than they were a week ago for some reason?
Current bugs across all AOSP roms?
Thanks
Bump, since every thread has a reply except mine.
Slim and droidkang have it. Others probably have it as well, but those 2 ROMs I can confirm have it from flashing them.
Read the ROM specific thread for bugs

Any ROM with a customizable navring will do this for you.

So, I've been debating between TouchWiz and AOSP ROMS. I love the smoothness of AOSP but I really enjoy the features of TouchWiz. I have some questions about both though:
TouchWiz:
One of my biggest irks about TW is that there is some serious lag with some buttons, the most blatant one in particular is pressing the Menu button on the homescreen. I want to use an alternative launcher such as Nova or Apex, but the lag between pressing the menu button and the menu actually showing up can be as long as 2 seconds, It's enough to make it annoying... I was wondering if there's some way to fix it. The ROMS I've tested are CleanROM, Hyperdrive, GalaxyMOD, and Vengeance, and they all have the same problem...
4.2 AOSP:
Do you think we will realistically have a good, stable, full featured (Photosphere, Functioning Bluetooth, Call Volume, Minimal Screen Flickering, etc) ROM? I would take a full-functioning AOSP over TouchWiz anyday, but with the issues with them, I find myself going to TW, but then I get drawn back to AOSP even with its bugs and all... Would be nice to have a more "purified" DD.
Thanks for your time

Touchwiz: settings>developers options and check disable hardware overlays will fix it.
AOSP: Closest you will get is running a unofficial, i.e. mastamoons or aerovans. aerovan is using the 3.4 kernel in his unofficials right now which breaks the camera. As for screen flickering disabling hardware overlays will get rid of it too.
The Multi power reboot menu mod for the Stock N5 image is fantastic. There's one other tiny mod that I sorely miss from Shiny on my GNex:
"Kill All Recent Apps Mod - Places a small button in the bottom left corner of the Recent Apps screen that allows you to remove all of your recent apps from the list with a single tap."
I've seen someone else mention some ROM that has such a feature . . . but part of my joy in owning a Nexus is running a very-nearly-stock version of Android, with a couple of minor tweaks or mods to add or change things I want.
I'd be very grateful if someone whipped up a version of this mod for Stock N5s.
This would indeed be a very awesome mod, second vote!
Yes, they have this option for notifications, why not in recent apps? CM does have this.

If you run cataclysm ROM it has this feature. It pretty much is stock ROM with a bunch of needed/useful options. I've been running build "Nov 20, 2013 Stable" as my daily and no real issues yet. Definitely worth checking out.

I would love this on stock. My stock room runs smoother than the cataclysm rom. Scrolling is slightly better. So does anybody have a flashable zip?

Or wait for xposed and gravity box
I agree, I really want to keep stock rooted on my N5 with add on mods. If any developer can throw one of these out, that would be like O M G; T Y!?
that option is included in most custom roms
Current/updated Gravity Box has it; not all GB features work, but some do.
See top right.
Well, it's still halfway into the status bar, but it can still be used somewhat.
GravityBox does this. Works great.

I have been using liquidsmooth for a while now, but thought I'd give cyanogenmod a try. One of the main features missing is the lockscreen torch which I use surprisingly often. Does anyone know if there is an add-on or anything for this? Done some searching and can't find anything.
Also, does cyanogenmod support changing dpi well?

I'm not the right guy to discuss about CM roms but you can probably add this feature through a xposed module.
Custom DPI is always possible.
I've been trying to find an xposed module to do that, but havent managed. its pretty key for me. Love the way AOKP integrated it (liquidsmooth, etc).
Go to the Google Play Store and download an app called the "Nexus Flashlight", it supports a flashlight(torch) application and also has lockscreen support. Plus! It only works on Nexus devices and I think a few others. I assume you mean like a lockscreen widget right? If yes, this is your app. Turning it on and off from the lockscreen sometimes has a delay but it's only half a second. :good:
EDIT: And yes! Cyanogenmod supports changing DPI, at least as far as I'm aware. I'm able to do this on my Inspire 4G running Cyanogenmod11. I got a boot loop by messing with this before, so make sure you know what you're doing and make a nandroid backup for safety!
Gravity Box allows for torch toggle when you longpress the unlock ring, but it can have some issues with custom ROMs.
You could also get access to torch from the lockscreen by using the quicksettings toggle from the lockscreen.
Hi all,
I been using OPO for last 3 weeks now... I m coming from galaxy s3 with liquid smooth ROM. Some of the feature I m missing are Halo and pie control.. Particularly recent apps button from pei. Can someone suggest how to get simile features?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
Halo has been replaced with Hover or Heads Up. Mainly Heads Up.
Pie Controls, look for a ROM with the feature. Mahdi has PA Pie or Slim Pie (you pick)
Well I don't want to install custom ROM because I like CM I just want to get these features... I don't see these apps in play stores.. Can you provide link for apk?
There is a standalone app for PIE. Find it on the internet.
Heads Up is built into CM.
PAC rom has halo.
Also these days PA pie and slim pie are almost identical what comes to functionality, in other words they are useless, I suggest to use dbpie even through it hasn't been updated for a while.

Hey there,
i excessivly use custom navbar buttons (e.g. Chrome with Chrome Icon), but my current ROM BlissPop 2.0 got Lockscreen Lag, which I can't fix. And newer Versions of the ROM discontinued the extreme customizable Navbar Settings with the for me useless CM Navbar Settings.
I searched and searched, but no ROM seems to have the "old" Navbar Settings, where you can add what you want to it and change the Icon.
Now my ROM keeps lagging even more and I am searching for an alternative, maybe with customizable PIE controls. But not even the new ROMs seem to still have PIE Controls :/
Does anybody have a ROM suggestion for me ? Could also be an older Version (but available)...

Actually the best way to find out is to try for yourself for a few days. You just make a titanium backup of your apps. Then start flashing. Try every other roms and you would be surprised actually. I even tried the ROMS I never heard before but they were worth it actually.
Like Validus has awesome battery life and I have become a fan of it with its smoothness and tweaks. I would have never known if i have never tried it.
Also after every few days, redo your titanium backup of your apps like whatsapp and other messaging/notes app if they are not synced online.
