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..

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.

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

1. Is having a ROM such as CyanogenMod safe to use for a long period of time? (I don't want to wake up and my phone won't boot.)
2. Is CM Updater safe to use?
3. Is having TWRP on my device as reliable as stock recovery?
4. Is there any other popular ROMs with OTA updates besides CyanogenMod and Omni? I would feel more comfortable having it auto-flash for me rather than having to manually flash each update.
I always flash my devices with CyanogenMod and revert back to stock shortly after because I feel like if something happens to my device I won't be able to RMA and I'll be screwed.
Thanks in advance.

The great thing about Nexus devices is they are very hard to brick. As long as you can get to bootloader, you can flash stock images and you're back in business. As far as your questions: 1. Yes as long as it's a stable build. It's very alpha right now so if you want safe, you should probably wait. 2. Yes. 3. Not right now. It's still buggy. 4. Yes. There are many. Paranoid Android is one I can think of off the top of my head.

No no no no no.
If you're not comfortable manually flashing your device, DONT flash your device. The people who "auto" anything are the people who don't know enough to get themselves out of trouble. This is the reason you should READ, READ and then READ.
Dont do anything until you are comfortable. Dont do anything automatically that you couldn't do manually.
Definitely start by reading the ref thread stickied at the top of this q&a section

Please don't take this the wrong way, I just want to ask for my own curiosity.... If you are not rooted and do not plan on rooting, why are you asking for help on a developers forum that is centred around being rooted? Where teh assumption is that you are wanting to be rooted and are willing to do so to achieve the benefits of this forum?
If you have no intention of rooting, please be aware this is a developers forum, not a help forum so this probably isn't the right place for you to be asking for help. I can highly recommend "Android Forums" which is a great help forum for device specific users. I used to be a member myself.

I know this is a Developers forum, but I am asking a question about wake locks that both stock and rooted phones get alike. I did not have this problem with 4.4 so I was just asking for some advice on what could be causing it in 4.4.2. You can choose to leave advice or not, but leaving responses like this isn't helpful at all. I am not taking this the wrong way just wondering why you would take the time to "not be helpful" If my post some how bothered you please feel free to let a MOD know. I am very capable of ROOTING my N5 as all of my previous phones have been. I am just choosing not to right now. Also I thought I posted this question in the "Nexus 5 Q&A Help & Troubleshooting" forum. I didn't think it was just for "ROOTED" users only.

Ok I will install the app and let it Run for the day. Just curious though, when I installed it last night and clicked on Partial Wake, it said requires ROOT. Can you recommend the correct app to use? In case I didn't get the right one. Thanks

I'm just saying, because although BBS isn't requiring root, you get BETTER information if you're rooted so it would MAKE SENSE to root your device it you WANT ANSWERS.
So yeah, you are taking it the wrong way.

It requires root for Alarms. Maybe Sven had to make that change for it to work on KitKat. I've never not been rooted, so if it's changed recently, I wouldn't know about it.
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.

Hi GUYS, i am going to get Nexus 5 this month.
And i gonna change it to CUSTOM ROM when it arrives, (Since this ROM is PURE, nothing special).
I went to XDA android development thread and original 1 to check some ROM.
OMG, there's so many many ROM. Not like my Old Galaxy W.
I am really confusing and curious, WHICH 1 is stable enough?
So, I would like to know, which ROM are u using now, and ur experience on that ROM. :silly:
-I HAVE NO INTENTION TO COMPARING ROM, all i want is to know ur review-
and NO FANBOYS ROM please. :highfive: THanks you~
Well i havnt tried custom roms yet.. but i am satisfied for now with stock ROM + Gravity Box(gives a hell lot of customizations )
Hi,
Currently on stock 442+Gravity Box+Franco kernel. Works perfectly for me.
Custom ROM Im waitin' for is AOKP. Will flash once it has the customizations which I have now with Gravity...
Stick to a stock rom. Most features in aosp roms are available via xposed modules such as gravity box.
I dont think these threads are useful.

Im just updating to the new nightly realese like 2-3 hours ago, :3
I am not a fan of ROMS.
There is always some issue with them. They optimize the heck out the software but the take away is issues.
I prefer stock.
You honestly cant beat stock + xposed + a custom kernel (i use francos)

Stock 4.4.2 ± Xposed + Gravity Box + Franco Kernel + Dalvik optimizations + Sound mod.
On a very different note, I totally find this thread reminding me of the new ways scams work nowadays. Plus a loophole and scammed find new ways. Is this the new way for people to ask about beat threads now?
To OP: Get your phone first. You might not root at all. And if you want to try ROMs then try one by one and see what is stable in your opinion and what makes you happy. As far as reviews of each ROMs, you will find those in their respective threads from users who have installed it.
Read and search.

Q&A for [ROM] DarkWulf Beta 1 ATT LG G3 stock based
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM] DarkWulf Beta 1 ATT LG G3 stock based. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Great job on the rom but I did find a problem when trying to enable ART. The device restarts and sits at the LG logo for a few minutes. Other then that your rom is very impressive in battery life and speed. Almost forgot At&t G3 850.
The Rom is deodexed and that could be why but can't say for sure. Are you saying ART doesn't work?

Would it be possible to disable the services and remove the libraries and the apk to disable CarrierIQ? There are those that would appreciate having all the tracky bits removed. Little scary for us noobs.
