OK, let's start with the obvious. Notifications are enabled in both Gmail and system settings?

Yes. Or I mean I guess, it have worked with kitkat before.
Just to be sure, where do I look for both?

In gmail it's Settings > your_email_address > Notifications
Look around in System Settings. Sometimes there's an option to override notifications.

Try removing and adding back your account.
Clear data of Gmail in Settings > Apps > All > Gmail

Removed account, cleared all data still no change. Very strange In my opinion.

you could try this too:
launch gmail>tap app menu (three small squares on right top)>tap label settings>check label notifications and notify for every message.

You have to manually set notifications for each of your inbox types. This is done through the overflow menu in each special 'inbox' (like Promotions, Updates, Primary). If you just set notifications for Primary inbox, you won't receive notifications when you get mail in any other inbox.

This solved the issue, very strange that the app by default isn't setup to sync every folder in my Gmail though, but now it works. Thanks a lot.

[Q] What is this status bar icon?

I'm on stock, and I've only seen this icon on stock. I usually notice it while I'm loading an app
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
also when I pull the status bar down there is no notification about it and the icon goes away. I'm on stock 4.1.2
Hmm, looks...unusual.. You first thought was a music app or distorted weather notification. How long has it been there? Maybe try downloading "Air Push Detector" and see if that app catches anything?

I only have stock music player and google play music installed. And I know it's not from my weather app cause I remembering seeing this back when I didn't have this app. It's always been here, it shows up randomly for a short period of time and only on stock. And I usually notice it when starting up an app or I'll see it there after an app has started. Then I pull down the notification bar and it goes away. I got that app and scanned and 1 app came up but I remember seeing this status bar icon at a time I didn't have that app installed.
You actually get that as you would with 3 navigation on Aosp when you get the 3 dot overflow but does it with your notifications when you load something. Nothing to worry about unless it's constant while your actually on the home screen?

Is there a way to do this?

I was using BlackBerry 10.2 the other day and noticed a few things I liked and was wondering if there's a way to get them on the Nexus 5:
1. Ability to click on toast notifications (say of a text message) and respond on the spot without leaving the app you're in.. is it possible to do this on the Nexus 5 anyway?
2. Text message previews/calendar events on the lockscreen.. is it possible?
3. Split calendar to show calendar on top, schedule on the bottom (see pic below) - Any app that replicates this or option in Google Calendar?

1. The SMS app Textra let's you reply from anywhere without exiting the app you're in. I'm sure there are plenty of others that do as well, but Textra is what I'm using.
2. Yes. If you drag the lock screen left you'll move to another screen with a '+' sign on it. You can then add widgets there.
3. There's likely a ton of calendar apps for this but Jorte comes to mind as one that has a split view like that.

Thanks! How would you rate Tetra in terms of fluidity and responsiveness? Also, when a message pops up, is there a slight 2 second delay when loading the pop up after the message is received? I tried a similar app in the past and it bugged me that there was a delay when I saw the notification in the notification tray.
Textra has been pretty good so far through a week of use. No major lags, stutters or anything like that. SMS and MMS work fine. I'd say its as good as or better than the old stock messages app.

First screen with all the apps in your battery usage pls.
If you had calls before for 1 hour - then this dialer wakelock is normal :good:
No. In fact the call is not answered. Then I just close until I realise the battery drains. As I am not using the phone for that hour.

Was on stock one day before i flashed AOSP. Cant say much about it. Maybe a service was running in the background, something enabled in google sync about dialer? Look in settings if something is wrong.
i have been also getting that wake lock..
So I'm getting this aswell. Any solution? Using PA 4.1 Beta 2.

Private SMS

I'm in desperate need of an application which can hide SMS from a certain person without any notifications. Have tried numerous ones from the play store but none seem to work on KitKat can anyone recommend anything?
try this one

Mr. Number works really well also. No notifications and stores the text message in the "blocked" section of the app for later reading.

4g/3g Icon While on WiFi

Anyone know why the 4g/3g icon stays on the status bar while I'm connected to WiFi? My status bar is getting extremely cluttered... On my Galaxy S4, it went away when I disabled caller ID but it didn't work on this phone.
I believe it is just to show you what network you are on. still uses wifi just shows as like a backup if that makes sense
I think it's a sense thing. All the icons up there are annoying me. At one point I only had 3 notification icons available after blue tooth alarm vibrate battery percent and then there's a couple that pop up and I'm not sure what causes them.

It's not a sense thing. It is part of the Caller ID crap that Verizon puts on your phone. It is using your wifi not cell data. If and when we achieve root and you use titanium backup to uninstall the caller ID, it will disappear. My SGS4 had the same thing on it till I rooted and used titanium backup to uninstall. If you disable the caller ID app it may remove the icon.

It is part of the app whether disabled or not it may also be integrated into the operating system that's all you had to titanium backup to actually uninstall it

It started for me with the 4.4.2 update on the M7. Guess they carried it over.
