Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a thread I found under the Nexus 7 forums for downloading and using the Nexus 5 Experience launcher on other Kit Kat devices. The main thread is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556139
Also, I can confirm that you only need to download the app and install - Scroll down a bit as the newest version is available about 10 posts down. I really like some of the features of the N5 launcher and would rather not root my phone, so this was a nice option.
Let me know if there are any questions as I have already installed and ran this app.

I own a Google Nexus 5 with the Lollipop 5.0 (LRX210) and it has full ROOT access. I would like to be directed to the right apps that I can use on this device and I will like you to recommend me to the right ones with genuine apps. Thanks
Hi,
You will need to be more specific here. Most apps that worked before will work now, or as soon as app developers update them.
I'm not sure what you say... Check the play store for compatibility of apps.
Or please be more specific.
Thanks!
Thank you. Thread closed.
I have a LG Nexus 5 with Lollipop 5.1, unlocked and unrooted. Is there an easy way to install CyanogenMod to it? I'm new to tinkering with my phone so don't have much knowledge or experience with this.

Yes get the cm download app for phones. It finds the latest version and downloads it if you want. I normally have a stock rom and cm so I can switch

Go to CyanogenMod download center to download a nightly:
• hammerhead: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hammerhead
OR
• hammerheadcaf: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hammerheadcaf
Check daily until we see a build named cm-12.1xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello,
I have a rooted Nexus 6 running Android 5.1.1 with CyanogenMod 12.1 on a nightlies build. I really want to get multi-window like in the Note 4, but so far I've seen that I need Xposed framework to do so. Is there another way to do this, or is there a way to install Xposed with CyanogenMod?
Best,
HB

hey everyone, i m pretty new to the forum and to the rooting thing as well.
i own a nexus and was previously using lollipop in it which was rooted ( it was an easy task)
but no after installing the marshmallow version and after a quick search on the public domain i realized that marshmallow cant be rooted like the lollipop ( as the kernels have changed significantly by the google)
i during my research i came across various kernels from despair, elemental x and hell core.
but all the kernels where not available on the download link showing an error of 403 forbidden on the website.
so here is a kind request to all who wants to help, kindly let me know where can i download the kernels for rooting my nexus 5 android 6 i.e. marshmallow d.p. 3 build number MPA44G.
http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5/
Yes I used elementalX and after root and no problems.
Thank you for your inputs fellows !!

I'd like to root my Kindle Fire (2nd gen, I think - system version is 6.3.4_user4120720). I can't post a link to the method I'm planning to use, but a google search for "techhive how to root your kindle fire pcworld" will take you right to it.
My questions: Which version of the Android OS will I end up with when this process is done? Once the Kindle is rooted, is it then possible to install later (or the latest) versions of the OS, or does the device itself limit what can be installed?
The reason I want to root is that as certain web sites have become more complicated, the Silk browser has become pretty much useless. It's almost impossible to read the news any more. Pages bounce all over the place, or the browser crashes as pages load their nonsensical graphics and animations. I'm hoping that rooting will open up options for installing a better browser. In addition, my Kindle is no longer able to run the current version of Dropbox, which is important to me. And finally, it'll be refreshing to get rid of the stupid carousel!
Hi there,
Rooting a device doesn't change the version of Android.

Good luck.
Thanks. I somehow missed that forum section.
