App or module for effects? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like animations sometimes, or for those of you who use Softkey Z or Gravity Box, a glow effect. I was wondering if anyone might know if there was something that could something similar that would show the same when opening an app and hitting any other soft keys.

Firstly, there's a Q&A forum for asking questions or requests... Please use it in future.
Secondly, you have created the same thread 3 times in the wrong forum.
Thread moved and duplicates deleted.

I did not realize the thread was made multiple times. I keep getting failed to connect to servers when I try to post. My bad, Tapatalk isn't working, or the forum constantly goes down.

[Q] add shortcuts to lock screen

No flaming please. I've looked everywhere but I'm also extremely exhausted. I can't seem to figure out how to add shortcuts to the locksreen
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Why do you think you should be able to?
That feature is not a part of Android

This is my first nexus phone. So I didn't know. Always thought I could have my apps on the lock ring
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Just wait for the custom roms to start dropping. You will see that feature soon.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Sorry about that. Like I said, I'm tired and not thinking straight. I thought the shortcuts came with Android. Didn't know those were mods
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Actually shortcuts is a part of CyanogenMod
The excact same lock sreen is available with CM 10.1.3 and forward, WITH shortcuts :laugh:
But I would like this feature on my new Nexus 5 ... Any suggestions?
Holy old thread revival Batman!

Lockscreen missing

When my nexus boots up, it has a lockscreen. The moment I get a notification (email, voice mail, etc) my lockscreen disappears and never reappears when I turn my screen on until I reset the whole phone. I have screen lock slide selected under the security section. Anyone have ideas?

Did you load a custom ROM onto it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Nope. It happens on my stock nexus I've noticed in logcat it says "no lock screen! Windowtoken=null"

Seems it was something to do with the Nova launcher beta. I'll email the dev

Did you find a solution to this? I'm not using Nova launcher and having the same. Posted here what I'm experiencing, plus some adb logcat output:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50416162
Yup! I found out why it was happening but it wasn't the developers fault Mods can closed/delete this thread!

I posted above in my thread what I was doing wrong: I messed myself up! I have the No Lock app it turns out that it was somehow set so locking was disabled. Re-enabling locking fixed this problem and solved my hours of wasted time.

Auto turns off feature

I have this "feature" on my NX5. What it does is it locks itself when I set on the table. Sometimes it works.... sometimes it doesn't.
I'm using the Stock Kernel and Stock ROM with gravity box. I looked at it and noticed that feature is not included inside gravity box.
So I wanna know if anyone has this rather buggy "feature" on their phone. If I try to unlock it it'll lock itself again... And if I try again it'll lock itself yet again. Eventually it stops though. Only works when on a flat surface too
I have a video if anyone wants it see it. It's really weird. Anyone got this at all?

What is VERY weird is it knows how high above the surface it is.
If I hold straight above a few cm above the tbale it turns itself off. Few cm up and boom it's on.

Noooo. It's not even touching the table and it would turn itself off it held just cm from the table. Any higher then a few cm and it will turn itself on. It's extremely weird

Dude it's a crazy ass feature. It works on CERTAIN surfaces and ONLY corners.

It's extremely weird. It works on one corner of my computer and on the other corner it doesn't. You'll see in the video.

I think you are having the sensor being tripped that activates the sleep feature. If you hold a magnet above the screen very close to the volume button and slightly higher, it shuts the screen off. It is a feature to make cases power off the screen when the case closes. Try it with a magnet, you'll see what I mean. I'm willing to bet there is something magnetic in your table triggering this sensor.
@BCSC sounds like a logical answer.
Tested your answer and yup 100% correct.
Link of the video that shows his answer is right

Yes, this was my reasoning behind asking about whether it was only on certain tables. I was wondering if the table had some kind of magnetic charge or something

Naw man you know the Samsung flip covers that have a magnet that turn on the screen when the flip cover is opened? The nexus 5 has one of those magnetic sensors so something in that computer is emitting a magnetic field enough to simulate the flip cover closing when it goes closer to that corner and turns on when farther (flip cover opening)

I was unaware, OP still needs to update the OP to reflect this.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
anyways.....
anyone using the app notice the home and mulitask buttons are slightly larger than the back key?
edit: original post updated...
I'm using SoftKeysz and observing some "ghosting" behavior where the "up graphic" ^ overlays the home key, which causes the home key to stop responding. the only fix is a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this behavior and/or have a fix i might try? thanks!
EDIT: Fixed, something related to XBlast or GravityBox options i selected. I thought i had disabled them, but i didn't. I disabled both apps and ghosting went away, will have to see which option (if any) was the causing my problem.

Hey man how the heck are ya? Looks like you decided to go HTC to I see. I got fed up with the Note 3, and gotta say this was a great replacement.
Anyone having problems with the size of some of the softkeys? It seems to be enlarging them.

By chance did you backup your stock m8 keys is softkeyz? If so can you attach them here? I did not backup mines and the ones available in-app don't have the stock find button.
Thank you

Mine themed, but most of the time one button (in my case the recents)...was huge. and wouldn't correct itself for some reason, even if I used GravityBox to shrink the Navbar. No idea...guess I'll wait for the next update..I really like it though - lots of cool designs on there.

Even refreshing doesn't work for me. But on my Nexus 5 it works fine and everything is set the same. Didn't know if I was missing something blatantly obvious with it
