Can I get a couple opinions on a rom that is really close to stock...I just want the old messaging app and the aosp browser.
Otherwise I like stock 4.4.
not asking which are best or comparisons...just some opinions.

1) its not possible
2) no
3) this is a developers forum. I know you think its "fun" posting these "funny" comments but please give it a break. We know you prefer your iPhone 5,but your mother in law gave you a nexus 5. Man up and use what YOU want. Please stop trolling this board

[q] installed droidkang, no smart dialer?

You should define "isn't working" if you want help

If droid kang uses the aosp dialer like cm then you won't have it. Check in themes and apps and look for Google dialer.

I figured it out about 10 mins after posting this. Sorry guys. Yes it does use the aosp dial. I just installed the Google dialer afterward. Thanks for the response.

[Q/Possible Req?] Xposed + Stock

I'm liking this stock android but its mini-downfalls like being unable to unlink the notification sound from ringtone bugs me. Is it possible to build a rom with xposed+stock Google build? Would anyone be so kind to point me to some guides if it is possible or even better, if a beautiful and talented developer out there would like to have a go at this :laugh: lol.
Eh? Just install xposed. What's the big deal?

By install, are you saying theres a flashable zip out there I can use on my Nexus 5? If theres no other method other than using a flashable zip, I will most likely not be able to do this lol. Which is why I'm asking for help either with some guides or letting me know that there is a zip out there.
Just read the xposed thread. It comes as an app that you install that then installs the framework. This is the normal method of using it

I just installed it on mine a couple days ago. It's really easy. In on stock now but still have a lot of the features I used to only get with different ROMs. Including the volume thing you mentioned.

You were asking for a stock ROM with xposed, how did you think you were going to install the ROM if not through flashing? But as was said, as long as you are rooted it's an easy install and gives so much control over your stock rom. Check out the xposed thread and go for it. You'll be happy.
Yes, just found it. Didn't realize it was just an apk lol. Thank you everyone.

[Q] How can I change the colour of my battery & network to the LG G2 ones

Hi guys,
I'm new to Android, in fact I just got my Nexus 5 today. I would like to change the colour of my network and battery icons from the default white to the same colour as the ones on the LG G2. See attached image.
Is this possible, and if so how do I go about it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Edit: I don't have enough posts to post a link to the colour of the LG G2 battery and network icons
Root + xposed framework + gravitybox mms xposed module.
You can find all these on xda using Google search.
Gravity box allows you to set the colour to whatever you want from a pallet

You're the first person I've seen who wants something from the G2's ui.

Haha. I really like those colours, what can I say lol. I'm a little apprehensive about rooting my device though. As I understand it, if I root I'll no longer get the OTA updates. And one of the selling points of the Nexus 5 for me was the fact that it gets all Android updates straight away.
There's an ota helpdesk thread in general.
Quick ota updates also means quick updates to full roms...

You're not going to be able to do what you want without changing the system and giving up easy ota updates. But they're easy to apply through a custom recovery.
OK, so it looks like I'll be rooting :fingers-crossed: Is the cfroot the best way to go? Or I've seen another thread all about rooting the Nexus 5, which seems to assume you're using Windows. I'm running Linux Mint.

Personally, I would do it by myself using adb and fastboot instead of letting something else do it for me. But I guess cf auto root works as well.
Thanks for the help and advice guys. I've decided not to bother rooting, it's just not worth it just so I can change the colours on 2 icons. Thanks again.

Indeed, but recently coming from iOS I'm very happy with kitkat I just wanted to change the colour of those 2 icons. For me to do that I'd have to root. And if I root I lose my OTA and then have the hassle of having to flash the updates myself.
Actually, you don't. Unless you make changes to system files. Stock rooted would have no issues with otas..

Would need to keep stock recovery though.

Did you unlock your bootloader yet? Do that at least. It won't affect your device's OTA update or anything and locking it is extremely easy.
---DO IT IN CASE YOU DECIDE TO ROOT LATER---
it'll pay off trust me.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I've done a bit of reading and from what I gather even if I root, unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery, I can still install all the very latest Android updates simply by boot to custom recovery and flashing the update. Is this correct?
What are some of the benefits of rooting? And would a custom ROM be better than the stock vanilla on the Nexus 5?
Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to get things clear in my mind.
Thanks again.
Also - Is there a way of rooting without wiping all my info on my device?
No you cannot root without unlocking the bootloader which wipes device.
Benefits of root are in the faq stickied at the top of this forum

[Q] ROM Name Ideas

I am probably going to start building a ROM from source for the Nexus 5 soon, but I really can't think of any ideas for the name of the ROM.
Any ideas? Help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Reflect on what is most meaningful to you. Identify the value to which it refers. Think of symbols that might represent that value. Choose a symbol that is easily recognized in the current time and place. Think of words that characterize the symbol. Choose the most exciting word.
I suggest Homer, it's easily recognized.
