Hey guys, this is my first post ever here. I have a couple of issues with my nexus 5.
First of all, I have the 32gb, rooted nexus 5, and I am running ElementalX kernel and TWRP on it.
I observed that I cannot switch to ART for some reason. When I choose to do so, the phone just reboots and still runs Dalvik. Does this happen to someone else too?
Secondly, the music player widget on the lock screen doesn't show up most of the time when I'm using my earphones. Any fix for that?
Lastly, the icons in my app drawer automatically get arranged in a 5x6 grid, making them smaller. I don''t know why it's doing that.
I am also running Xposed module with GravityBox, LMT launcher, and a couple of ad blockers.
Please help!
Xposed framework does not support ART...
Don't know about the other stuff.

I completely love the stock launcher on the Nexus 5 but I cannot stand the paged horizontal scrolling in the app drawer. I know this can be changed in Nova Launcher but i'd rather not use another launcher.
First, has anyone been able to accomplish this? If not, I would love if someone could help me figure out if it's possible and what files I may need to update. I've changed various things with the SystemUI apk but never anything in the app drawer. I would also be fine with horizontal scrolling but continuous (ie. it doesn't stop moving every page and just glides).
I would appreciate any help.

you might be able to port over a samsung touch wiz launcher from android 4.3, they ususally have a vertical list scrolling setting... it might need some of the framework files though. not sure how samsung does things these days.
That's a place to look but I'd prefer to just edit the stock launcher. I was trying to find any app drawer mods to figure out where to look. No luck yet

I have also started using xposed installer. Is there a module for this? I'd settle for just getting rid of the paged scrolling at this point. Ie. You can just swipe once to get from the first to forth page of apps.

My old Nexus 4 and current Nexus 7 have had a number roms flashed to them, but I've remained stock on my Nexus 5 because Xposed Frameworks has come a long way.
I haven't felt the need to flash a rom other than habit so I've stayed stock (except for trying out PA for about a day). Is Xposed missing something that can only be found on a rom or is there really just isn't much of a need to flash custom roms anymore?

There certainly isn't much need anymore. Its all personal taste.

I'm not sure that everything is available with Xposed modules.
For instance: blur lockscreen, toggles modifications (swipe to switch, screenshot delay, toggle style, toggles per row, text color...), Enable persistence, ribbons, tons of animations, Active & lockscreen notifications, Halo, the great Theme Provider...
But a xposed module can do something that a custom rom can't so I use both.
BTW I'm fond of themes so custom roms are mandatory.

Ribbons, active disply and lockscreen notifications are features that can be installed from the play store

No need to install additional 3rd party apps is an asset for custom roms and the modules for themes don't work as well as Theme Provider afaik...

I know xtheme doesn't work good, but hkTheme manager has-been updated to v6 and is working great for me, no lag at all,but i guess you are right that's why I'm still using custom roms

Toggle style is unique to roms. XuiMod for Xposed handles animations. Halo has a mod that works well with the app Flotifications. I think the theme chooser, then, is the only thing truly unique, though with Xblast you can theme your phone a bit and Unicon has icons taken care of.

That's kind of the point of Xposed, though. It's adding just what you want so, while we may have to install this or that from the Play Store or through a mod, it means we can also leave out a lot of things we don't use or need.

I wonder if Xposed will be around much longer. Google is moving from DEV to ART and xposed runs only on DEV. From the posts it sounds like a total rebuild which they didn't sound like was going to happen. Xposed is cool and I would like to find an alternative that runs on ART. If Xposed support ART I would be even happier.

Rovo89 has promised to make xposed compatible with ART but he's gonna wait till ART beta phase is over, he even said that he has created a version that works on ART

hkTheme manager is an alternative to cm themes provider, and v6 works flawlessly

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I was curious about peoples opinions/preferences between these two launchers?
I've been using Google Now Launcher on my Galaxy Nexus for a couple of months and really liked it. After grabbing my M8, I installed Google Now Launcher on it, but I hear a lot of praise for Blinkfeed on Sense 6.
While the concept of Blinkfeed is certainly interesting, the link summaries in my highlights are vague or non-existent. I'm also struggling to find a way to do Google Search voice triggers. Adding a Google Search bar doesn't seem to provide this functionality. Overall, Blinkfeed seems to be a poorly done Google Now with social media integration. Are there any fans of Blinkfeed that can help me improve my experience?

I tried blinkfeed on my M7 for a few months until root came out. and switched to the google launcher.
I tried blinkfeed on the M8 for all of an hour before I switched to the Google Launcher again.
I'm in the same boat as you. I just wish I could get anything besides the HTC lock screen as I want pattern lock. But I don't want it to wipe my phone after 10 attempts.
I'm using Action Launcher but wanted to check out Blinkfeed. You can create a shortcut to Blinkfeed with Activity Launcher and use it like an app. Thought I'd give it a chance and still use my launcher of choice.

I hadn't considered that. I might just have to play with it that way. As an at a glance widget/page, I feel Google Now is far superior, but I'd like to play around with it and see if Blinkfeed is good for social media and the like.
I have enjoyed using Google Now launcher on my Rezound and my Nexus. I'm going with Blinkfeed and have moved the Google search as one of my five dock icons so I can get the equivalent at any time.

you know you can just swipe up from the bottom on any of the home screens and have google now anytime without using up your shortcuts on the bottom
If Sense supported custom gestures (I use swipe up to bring up the drawer, swipe down to see notifications, and double-tap to show the toggles) I would try it out. But I use those gestures ALL the time.
For those with Google Now Launcher, few questions(sorry for the sidetrack):
Is there more icons on the screen? I went to nova laucher for more rows of icons and no blinkfeed.
any issues with side loading?
where did you get the apk, (I can find one, I would like to have a know working version)?
Does the play store update the laucher after the install for updates?

Yeah, forgot about that; thanks for mentioning it. Ultimately, that's what I did, giving something else that precious 4th spot on the dock.
non transparent Nav bar on GNL
Hey guys. Did any of you getting this annoying semitransparent nav bar while having a Google now launcher on HTC M8 ?
I mean the original nav bar on BlinkFeed is completely transparent, also Google now launcher installed on any device so far (running KitKat) had a transparent nav bar ! What is wrong with GNL and HTC M8 ??
Check out this picks.

I really don't think viperone is what screwed your phone up as I am running it and have installed and re-installed about 10 different times when checking out different ROM's.
It sounds like user error to me.
What was your install process ?
Did you do a checksum on the download before installing ?
Only one time did I have a faulty ROM and it was due to a bad download as I forgot to do a checksum on it.

FWIW, I don't like either, I use Nova Launcher.
I have been using liquidsmooth for a while now, but thought I'd give cyanogenmod a try. One of the main features missing is the lockscreen torch which I use surprisingly often. Does anyone know if there is an add-on or anything for this? Done some searching and can't find anything.
Also, does cyanogenmod support changing dpi well?

I'm not the right guy to discuss about CM roms but you can probably add this feature through a xposed module.
Custom DPI is always possible.
I've been trying to find an xposed module to do that, but havent managed. its pretty key for me. Love the way AOKP integrated it (liquidsmooth, etc).
Go to the Google Play Store and download an app called the "Nexus Flashlight", it supports a flashlight(torch) application and also has lockscreen support. Plus! It only works on Nexus devices and I think a few others. I assume you mean like a lockscreen widget right? If yes, this is your app. Turning it on and off from the lockscreen sometimes has a delay but it's only half a second. :good:
EDIT: And yes! Cyanogenmod supports changing DPI, at least as far as I'm aware. I'm able to do this on my Inspire 4G running Cyanogenmod11. I got a boot loop by messing with this before, so make sure you know what you're doing and make a nandroid backup for safety!
Gravity Box allows for torch toggle when you longpress the unlock ring, but it can have some issues with custom ROMs.
You could also get access to torch from the lockscreen by using the quicksettings toggle from the lockscreen.
It seems like Xposed for Lollipop will not be released any time soon, so I'd like to request some mod to customize quick settings, clock position, battery icon/text, ...
Thank you for reading.
I'm considering going back to KitKat for Xposed. Not sure if fancy animations are worth the greatness of Gravitybox.
i didn't realise how dependent i became on Xposed and Gravity Box...is there an advanced power menu mod or app, at least?
Stock aosp.. Is just very.. Stock.. My craving for xposed on L is huge
I gone back to Paranoid with Art. I just cant stay without otg for pen drive, notification led settings, active display, changing stock launcher, etc...

After two days of most of the root apps and customizations I've gotten used to either being not available or broken... nandroid restored.
