I own a Nexus 5 since three days now. I have rooted it (thanks to chainfire-autoroot) and flashed Custom Recovery (thanks to Wugfresh).
It's a great device, but coming from CM7, I miss some features and I am a little reluctant to flash a custom ROM already...
- After attaching a wired headset, music player does not start automatically.
- Volume rockers do not skip track in music player when phone is locked.
- Unable to set increasing ringing volume.
Maybe I overlooked some things, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
Xposed module with Gravity box will do the trick for you. There are a lot of other customization that you could do as well
Thanks! Applied some handy tweaks. I found a module to turn off increasing ringtone, does mean that increasing ringtone is a standard feature of the Nexus? I haven't tested it yet...

Modules are not device specific. Just because a module appears to allow you to turn off something, doesn't mean its on in the first place

Okay, Touch key lights too bright on your G2X? Two ways to fix this... First, the app, which is easiest for most people:
-------------
(note: This is NOT my app. Just sharing it with you guys)
LG Optimus 2x touch key lights
Little tool for LG Optimus 2x & G2x phones only that allows the user to change the touch key lights brightness levels. The desired brightness level can then be set up on startup.
Root access is not needed except for the new G2x Gingerbread update.
Warning, this application is not and will not be compatible with touch key notifications mechanisms.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.guenmat.android.optimus2x
-----------
The other is the TECHIE way... by changing the value directly! You can change the touch key brightness FROM THE SHELL with the following command:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
.
Possible values are 1-20, where 20 is the brightest. Though honestly 15-20 all looked the same to me. You can set higher, but I'm not sure if it is safe for your touch keys. 0 would be OFF.
Now, you can type that in through adb shell, but you'd lose it when you reboot. So, if you have a Rom that supports init.d scripts, you can add it at the end of one of the scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
If you don't have init.d scripts, you can also use TASKER with the LOCAL EXECUTE plugin. If you do, make sure to put a ! in front of the command so it executes as root.
I know, sparse, but I had to figure this out on my own and now you don't.
here is an app that does the same thing as the one you said PLUS it makes your 4 touch led lights blink when you have a missed called, mms, and gmail (hello notification lights)
https://market.android.com/details?...2xtouchlednotifications&feature=search_result
you dont need root access for froyo but you need it for GB
Interesting, is there a similar app that makes it so the lights are always on (dimmed, of course)?
This has been out for a while. The Custom Roms have this built in at a kernel level so it doesn't always run in the background and drain your batteries like a mofo.

well i haven't found it for weapon g2x if it has it on the kernel :/ , so i am using that app, is also great for someone that is running a stock gb rooted, like the 2.3.4 that is running arround

Actually, the ONLY custom Rom I've noticed that had anything close was MIUI (which you're using). In MIUI, the touchkey brightness was linked to screen brightness, all the way down to the lowest setting where it would be off. Nice, but not helpful to those of us who don't like the rest of the bugs present in MIUI. Also, I haven't seen any battery drain from this...

Good to have choices. I tried that one first. I didn't see the option to just change brightness, and I don't really want the notifications. I guess which one you choose depends on what you need.

Thanks. Ill try them both. I like the flashing buttons for notification option
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i like this app!
If you're using a stock rom you can always go into LG's hidden menu and adjust the touch LED brightness. Using your dial pad dial 1809#*999# and it will open the hidden menu. From there select Device Test and then scroll all the way down and select Touch LED Brightness. Adjust the slider and you're good to go. You can do this whether or not you're rooted. The only catch is that it resets when you reboot the phone so you have to do it again with each reboot.

anyone have the led notification app working on weapon rom? I tried installing it and just get a force close.
Op updated with a method to do this WITHOUT an app. I know, I'm spoiling it for those SELLING apps to do just this, but hey... whatchagonnado.
Super useful to use tasker for this, thanks so much.

Is it possible to use the notification bar "pull down" as my lockscreen? I have seen in the forums ways to change the behavior of the dropdown notification bar but I actually want to use it AS my lockscreen. Is there an app or ROM that allows this? Thanks for your help.
I've never heard of this being done. Modification to do this would be extremely involved

You could use Tasker to expand notification bar on screen on. That's as close as you're going to get

This was also my first guess, but this would not be a 'lock'screen, more like a startscreen
But maybe this is what the op want
I think he just means having the quick panel toggles like a giant widget taking up the whole of a screen?

He probably just wants to see his notifications on the lock screen.

Install nils from play google
Hey guys thanks for all the replies. I have tried dashclock and nils but they both seem very limited. Dashclock doesnt allow you to dismiss notifications from the lockscreen. Also I cannot get it to show me each notification. For example, if I get 4 emails, 5 texts, and 3 gchats, itll only show me the latest from each. I see the option to change it but it doesnt really seem to work. Additionally, dashclock doesnt allow for integration of power toggles. Even for dashlight, I have to unlock the phone to turn on the flashlight even when rooted.
As for Nils, it has many of the same limitations. I think even the notification pull down is pretty limited in functionality and customizability. I dont know how many of you have used a jailbroken iphone but the app LockInfo fantastic. Theres no alternative that I can find for Android.
Im pretty new to android so I may be ignorant of some of the functionalities in these apps, but I'd be happy to learn!

While this question is not directly related to Nexus 5, but since it is one of the few devices running KitKat, I'm posting it here. Its been more than a month since KitKat has launched, but even today the "immersive mode" (which I feel is SO important!) has not been translated to many apps that I use regularly -- Kindle, Pocket, Feedly etc. Its not like these apps haven't updated in the last month or so (they have). Is there any reason why these companies have not considered putting immersive mode as a priority item?
Stability is always the priority. Ask the developers of each app if they plan to support it. We don't know the answer in that, we cannot read minds

There is an Xposed module on these forums somewhere, that enables immersive mode everywhere. It has a few flaws though, as some apps just don't work right with it, or once the navigation bar pops back up, it cuts off the portion of the screen.
However the ones that did work with it, it worker great. It would be nice for someone to make an app or tweak to force selected apps into immersive mode, while allowing the navigation bar to stay where needed.

I still use expanded desktop + PIE controls. I think it works better than immersive mode. I turn it on when gaming.
I used the "Immerse me" xposed module, but it had some issues. Fore example in the AOSP messaging app, when the keyboard popped up, the last message received appeared inbetween the keyboard and where I was typing the message, but only partly. part was behind where I typed teh message. I found that disorientating. Also in tapatalk, which I use a lot - when the keyboard came up, teh top of tapatalk (the tapatalk toolbar) disappeared and I couldn't scroll. Really tricky to use with Pie as I had to keep backing out of the keyboard to do things within tapatalk when typing messages.

Could you elaborate on this? A quick play store search couldn't find expanded desktop, but I found something called pie control.

Hey man thanks for this! This is pretty much what I've been wanting. Now I can use the full resolution of my nexus 5! Great for streaming my PC games. Woohoo!
Would still be nice to have some sort of way to choose what apps go full screen, cuz it would just be easier to already have the nav bar for apps that are better suited for it, then go away on ones you want full screen for, but this is still a lot better than the immersive module for xposed. Thanks again.

Hey no prob, happy to help. It kinda breathes new life into the phone, doesn't it? This mod saved my N5 from being tossed in a drawer. I use it more than my Moto X now, just because of gaming on its 5" screen.
I designed a simple app that disables the backlight for the capacitive keys. It also installs an init.d script that disables them at each boot, meaning you can uninstall this app after using it, if you wish.
Perfect for roms that have a navbar but no option to disable the button lights, or anyone who doesn't need the glow to tell you where your buttons are.
I tested this on SkimKat. I'd like to know if it works on JB roms.

Does it have an option to undo the init.d script after it runs? Can it do it on the fly or does it require a reboot?

Sorry about the delay. Does it disable the backlight at all or is it only after a reboot that it fails? Does your rom support init.d?
Also, my app only disables the light, not the actual button.

If it doesn't persist it's because your rom doesn't support init.d. You could try another kernel for now. I'm dabbling at support for roms without init.d, but I hate to make my app run at boot.

Can anyone tell me how to turn off the sound on notifications for XDA Premium?
I am running it on HTC One Mini 2 with cm-NostromoPop-v2.0.9-memul-20150801-1140 Lollipop (based on CM12.1) ROM.
I don't think I had sound on previous versions of this ROM but can't be sure.
I cannot find any settings for this and it plays a different sound to my default notifications sound.
I still want notifications to appear on my phone and hence on my Android Wear watch but don't want the sound as it goes off when I'm asleep but I want to keep other notifications on for important messages.
TIA
