Phablet Ui - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is there any way to use the phablet ui mode on my Nexus 5 (theoretically at any Android)? I had paranoid on my Nexus 4, where i could adjust it. Does it work without special ROM?

Change icon size?

How do you change icon size on this phone without rooting and while using the Google launcher? Not quite ready to root, yet. And I like the default launcher other than the icon size. A bit big for me.
Thanks.

Wow. That was helpful.

Just won't happen without root. Even then it would probably require changing DPI settings.

Lol that was funny. Just use nova or my favorite Apex launcher. Although I believe Nova is only confirmed to work 100%. You can customize anything!

Yeah. I figured. But I thought I'd ask anyway. Thought maybe there was something I missed. Thanks.

I was just joking. You will have to root and change the DPI. I have mine on 400 right now and it looks a lot better.

It's cool. No worries.
I did that before on my old HTC One. I just didn't wanna root and wipe out everything in storage by unlocking the boot loader.

Use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex. You can customize everything, including the icon size.

LG G2 Launcher on Nexus 5

Has anyone tried porting the LG G2 launcher to the Nexus 5 with the Knock on feature? Just wondering if its possible. It would be great, if we get it working on Nexus 5 somehow.
I think there is a kernel with the knock feature
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The whole launcher is pretty dope. It would be a nice port but I wouldn't count on it any time soon

try @Jishnu Surâ„¢ one (no knock to wake)

[Q] screen resolution changed .. showing 1080x1776

I have installed cpuz on nexus 5 and it is showing screen resolution of 1080x1776 ... Please tell me is it a hardware problem or software problem .. I have installed slimkat
I may be mistaken, but I believe it excludes the pixels used by the navbar
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No problem at all. It doesn't count the pixels used for the nav bar.
