SHADOW - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to get rid of the shadows? I'm on Nova, but it's not the Nova shadow.

You mean the shading at the top/bottom of the screen? That's a KitKat feature so you'd need to edit the system files to remove it

Any idea how to do so?

yeah i don't like helix, the launcher tab is too small and you cant minimize the drawer without hitting the back button.

Why dont you just take one of the many Android launchers and skin it to look like a Nexus launcher? Then it looks exactly how you want it, and its completely stable...
what app fc the launcher. lol i havent had a single anything go wrong with it. the fact that its an modd com.android.launcher... makes it far more stable then a home replacement..i think.idk might be talking out my a**.
Is it possible to have more than 3 screens with home?

[Q] Well, I feel stupid...

Running CM10 nightly evita from a couple nights ago, but the problem is more my fault so that shouldn't be a problem. There should be a screenshot. Notice the conspicuous absence of a very important button from the dock. Sorry to bug anyone.

Change the grid size in default launcher?

I'm rooted using Kangabean. I changed the DPI to 400. Widgets look a little strange. How do I change the grid size of the default launcher? I don't want to use a different launcher. I don't want to lose Google Now and the active listening abilities.
Thanks.

You will have to wait for a modified stock launcher or a rom with that feature for that bro, you can`t change the grid in the stock launcher afaik. Look here for a mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps when its available.

Okay. It's cool. I'll live with it, I guess.

Ohh just to let you know, a DPI of 410 works a little better for me. But its totally according to taste.

[Q] Launcher

quick question.
So I'm rooted and enjoying the freedom but have a few other questions.
Has anyone installed a custom launcher (Nova) yet? What has been your experience?
If I install a Nova launcher do I lose all the Sense widgets, etc? what are the downsides?

If you use BlinkFeed you can't get that on a custom launcher (no way that I know of at least) and you also can't use HTC widgets.

okay, thanks. I'm really not liking the square app folder icons. I'm so used to the round, stacked view. Is there anyway to change the folder previews with the stock launcher?

There not so bad if you make them transparent. I believe the stock launcher is the best. My opinion of course.

slow down app drawer open/close speed

Is there any way to slow down the app drawer's opening and closing speed? I prefer it to be smooth and slow instead of lightning fast haha.
Try changing the animation scales in developer options

Did you try all 3 animations?
Other option, try a different launcher

yep!
I've tried all three but no go. I really want to just use google launcher, so if anyone knows how to modify the app drawer open and closing speed let me know!
