Ok Google only works from the home screen on 4.4.x versions of android, the moto x has a special always listening function built by moto as well a chip that has low battery usages that allows for the active listening function anytime. Its probably possible for the nexus 5 to do the same but it would drain the $h1t out of the battery.
In moto x it called the "active display".. In which the phone always listening thru its mic. If somehow our nexus 5 can have this feature would be awesome..

No, this is not possible as we do not have the same chipset as the Moto X.
utter! has "always listening even when screen is off" functionality (and much more).

Active Display is actually a notification feature that shows you what notifications you have while you're screen is off. It powers on your screen while you're phone is locked to show you notifications periodically. This feature was developed for the amoled screen that the moto x has since that type of display can light up individual pixels and not the whole screen to save battery. But active display has been ported by a few different custom roms now like Omni.

Without installing an App with the "always listening" feature it is not possible.
There are Apps for that.
Open Mic+ is a good one. Use it myself.

I have read so many posts about this thing so I can't remember the source. What I did see was a screen shot about having to be at your Home Screen or in Google Now before the voice activation works. Going only on this it would appear that the X still has a advantage with touchless control.
The Nexus 5 page says you have to be on the home screen.

Indeed it does say "When on your home screen" but it DOESN'T say it won't work from sleep mode, or?

I'm hoping as people in the US begin to get their Nexus 5, they will be able to confirm this 100%. Currently it seems that the Nexus 5 does NOT get woken up like the Moto X - "Ok Google" only works with a NON-Secure/Slide Lockscreen and ONLY on the Homescreen/Google Now.
Hoping we are all wrong
I have mine (UK - Carphone Warehouse purchased this morning) and OK Google does nothing at all whether on the lock screen, sleep or home screen.
Sad.

+Ryan Yakus Google Now has a dedicated home screen (one swipe to the left). The Nexus 5 also listens for you to say "OK Google Now."
(A caveat on that "always listening" thing -- that feature is disabled if you have lock screen security enabled and you have to unlock the phone before it will listen for your voice.)

Has anyone found a working flashlight app for the N5? I found it was pretty useful for me to be able to click a widget/icon and have the flash on the camera fire up. I had one on my Note, and found I miss the functionality.
Thought I would ask before trying the multitude of apps out there in the play store.
Thanks!
Here's one...

I use one called Tiny Flashlight + LED, works great and has a nice selection of widgets that you can place on your home screen. There is a slight delay though, that wasn't present on my last device.

TeslaLED is the one I've always used, it's by the same people who make Nova Launcher.
Is it just me or is the torch slow to come on? I noticed this in comparison to my Galaxys S3, which fires up without delay.
I use Brightest Flashlight

The n1torch I backed up from CM for Nexus 4 works.
I use a widget called Power Toggles available in the Play Store. It includes a switch that is a small flash graphic that turns the flash on like a flashlight. It is instaneous. The other toggles are very handy as well.

Power Toggles seems just as slow as any other app. About 0.5 to 1 second to engage. Think it might just be the LED itself is slow to engage.

Nexus devices don't support sysfs.
AKA the entire camera module has to be fired up before the torch can be turned on.

I'm running the Purity ROM on my nexus 4 and 5. The torch on my N4 comes on instantly when toggled while on the N5 its about a 4 sec delay before it comes on...so I doubt that reasoning..might be right..(I don't even know what sysfs is or mean)....but i can confirm its not all nexus devices

Someone will eventually make it. The thing is without a dedicated processor like the moto x has, the battery drain would make this phone's battery even worse.

Also this mod could be combined with some intelligence:
* When charging, enable 'always on' google now
* Otherwise google now from lock screen enabled only with double press of power button
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, has there been any progress on this front? I would love me some always listenings.
I actually want to permanently disable it, whenever i long press my headset button which i used to set for rewind the mp3 i'm currently listening, google now popup.....

Isn't this what you're looking for? I don't know if it uses the low-power core and whatnot, but it seems to do what it's set out to do at least.
Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

The screen standby app sort of works for me ... enough for me to keep using it at least.... basically on my nexus 5 the normal screen off method doesn't work I have to use the one two dim method and the screen stays off for good
So currently i have it setup like this :
Auto HDMI detection > starts timer when i plug slimport in
lasts about 10-15 seconds ( enough time for me to setup my app etc )
screen turns off
