Keyboard works for me without issues too. I really want the camera from the nexus 5. I'm getting a little tired of how laggy the touch wiz camera is.

Everything is working fine on my note 3 except FC on hangout/sms when sending mms and ok google active listening prompt as it FCes too. There is a temporary fix to that by switching back n forth languages . Soon as you open anything in your phone and go back it will FC again.

keyboard is working great for me too, as well as hangouts aside from mms totally crashing the app

Google search seems to be giving me an error when I search with the search bar.

I don't have root access to my Note 3. I followed the instructions to download all the necessary files, installed them in the proper order, and did the language switch trick, but I'm getting force closes whenever I swipe to the left and click on any card.

^^^exactly .I dont want to root my phone . Doing the language switch is just a temporary solution and will go back to force close when do anything after on your phone .

no idea how i did this..
Okay so I'm not totally new to android. Tbh I do a lot more modding on I phones. But way more than your average jailbreaker.
I've had a rooted gs1 gs3 and now I've turned in my iphone5 for the Note 3. Great decision.
So I have my rooted note 3 on at&t.
I then somehow got xposed framework to work with the new Google launcher. (Okay Google hotword and Google now to the left working fully ) also installed the Google keyboard after with no problems.
The weird thing to me is I read all the instructions on how to install the new Google launcher experience, and followed the instructions.
But when I went to install all the apps but the Google launcher file (last file you install) they failed to install. So then once installing the launcher I rebooted. Then went into the xposed framework and turned on and off the module and rebooted again. Then I set all my settings, rebooted again. And the FINAL product is
The new Custom Themed Google experience.
Here are some pics.

Haxsync and KitKat

Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.

Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.

Working fine for me too.

I have sync.me on one of my old androids letting it update my contacts...good idea if you have a old phone laying around...not sure but you could use haxsync like that too.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

Been using haxsync for a week now on my N5 & no battery drain/wakelocks according to bbs from haxsync so its ok to use.

I have not as the Dev put in the description that it's only needed for 4.1. Calendar and contacts are syncing just fine without it.

On 4.4.2 haxsync doesnt work anymore at least for me
are there any alternatives?

I don't find HaxSync on Play Store, on both Play Store app (on Nexus 5) and Play Store web

There's a playstore fix in xposed installer. This may fix your problem

MersauX,
Can you please tell me where you found it? What link? When I search for the Haxsync APK, I find a lot of sites, but I am always a bit leery at downloading them from these types of places since I worry about the files authenticity. Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not currently available on the play store. That's the reason I asked in the first place.

I've never had any wakelocks using haxsync, and it has never shown up in my battery stats ever.

OK Google not launching Google now

Anyone else having a problem getting OK Google to launch gone now? It worked fine when I first bought the phone then stopped after a couple days. Then I rooted the phone and it started working again but then stopped after a couple days. I'm running stock rooted. I even cleared the data on the search app and it still didn't work.

It only works on US english.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

It only works on US English but as the OP said, it did work before and he hasn't changed language so we can assume he is using US English.
It's an issue that I've seen crop up around XDA and Reddit and one I've had myself, so don't worry too much because I assume it'll be fixed in later builds. All that works for me is a reboot, then Google Now will detect 'OK Google' again. Try that.

"Ok Google" may disappear but feature is working
that's what is happening with me. I wiped the Launcher data twice to get back the "Ok Google" on the search bar
but it disappeared again and When I say okay google it works

A reboot definitely doesn't help. The only other time it came back was when I unlocked the bootloader and it wiped the device.

If the microphone on the "Google" search bar of the home screen is filled in, it is listening. If it is hollow (an outline of a microphone) then it's not listening.
Reasons it may not be listening:
A. An app has requested audio access (games, music, videos, camera, even if they're in the background). This is especially common with games that insist on running even when no longer visible. Swipe away the app(s) and the microphone will activate itself again.
B. Not set to US English.
C. Google Now isn't configured.
D. Hotword in Google Search settings is turned off.
Any of those reasons are common and considered normal functionality. If you can eliminate all of them then you're looking at something more in depth like ROM issues, broken hardware, etc.

The microphone is hollow.
A. It isn't a game or app because it doesn't fix with a reboot.
B it is set to us English
C gone now is configured
D hotword is turned on
I haven't changed any of the settings but I have double checked that the settings are correct. I read on Android police that other people are having problems with now but none of the problems are the same as mine.

Not sure if it'll work for you, but changing the language, back to home press the microphone and then changing it back to US seems to work for me.

So opt-out and then back in?

[Q] Feature Similar to Samsung Galaxy S5 Download Booster

The S5 seemed relatively unimpressive, however the download booster feature seems interesting where it uses lte and wifi for data. I was curious as to whether someone could port that over to the Nexus 5 or create their own implementation.

Anyways I think it's hardware

I think it is implemented in software. There is a demo for using both LTE and WiFi on Galaxy S2 on YouTube already. (Search for "Energy-efficient multi-link video streaming on smartphones")

This would be REALLY nice feature to have. I actually might root for it!

Im pretty sure that it is software related, because I remember reading about an app for android that does this for you, but for the life of me can't remember the name of the app.

oh i am going to test

Any feedback? 4/5 stars on the Play Store from a N5 user.
Unfortunately I have no WiFi connection to test...

My LTE connection blows away my home Wi-Fi connection.... I don't see how I could benefit from a booster. I would think it would utilize bandwidth from my cellular data connection and not touch my Wi-Fi. Just another gimmick to pay twice as much as you need for a device imho.
