Lockscreen notifications - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I tried to search on xda and on google but could not find what i'm looking for.
I wanted to know if there is a flashable zip or an Xposed module to get the Notification system in lockscreen, like the one of CarbonROM.
Thanks in advance!

You can do that with Xposed + Gravity Box.

You want "active notifications". like when you pull your phone out it is like the moto X right? I used to have that on my Nexus 4 with carbon ROM, I don't know if it is implemented yet in the latest Carbon. I didn't find it as useful as it gets a rep for.
It isn't in GravityBox

you are either using a custom rom or a different launcher.

i cant identify any launcher ...and there is no trace of custome rom. I have just got it few hours back and every thing is running smoothly
Hi,
Have you an app named SoftkeyZ?
Or maybe an Xposed module? Take a look in your app drawer for Xposed something...
It's not an "issue", there is something installed that modifie the look of your soft buttons.
if it's rooted you can use softkeyz from the play store though it's a paid app... or just flash the factory image (not sure if just factory resetting will fix it).

In any case you are not stock, kernel: Franco kernel.

i bet you are rooted, running franco kernel, and have xposed modules installed

You can use Xposed Framework with Gravity Box to change them to any color you want.

Are you referring to changing the Quicktiles? If so, then yes, Gravity Box also lets you choose which ones to display and what order you want them in.

Hmm. Not sure on that one. Maybe there's a custom ROM that allows it. AFAIK, there's no Xposed Framework module that allows that. I could be wrong though.

Cant install apks

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my N5: I cant install apks. When I open it and I get the screen with the permissions and 2 buttons: Cancel or Install/Next I cannot press the Install one. It just doesnt respond. THe cancel one works fine..
I am rooted with franco kernel, custom recovery and android 4.4.2
Cheers!

as an experiment, completely remove xposed, reboot, and try. chances are that it is xposed itself causing the issue. if its still not working, we will go further after. but with xposed still installed, thats all the help youll get from me.

Should I just uninstall the framework (via the app) or uninstall the whole app?

I think it was Halo on Paranoid Android. Or any ROM with Halo actually.

Do you have "Unknown Sources" checked under the security settings. It should prompt you if you don't but just in case, check that.
I've got the same problem. I can't install apk's since I'm using the latest stock 4.4.3 update. I've never rooted my phone or whatsoever. I can't seem to find a solution for it

I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to install apks. Even on stock and no root, I am fairly sure you are able to.
Check this out. . We discovered this in the Paranoid Android Community the other day.
If you have Echo Notifications Lockscreen installed, whether you have it activated or not, it disables installation of apks and the OK button on certain other dialogs. I went nuts trying to figure out what happened...

5.1.1 Google Search Bar in Recent Apps

Hi guys, when i updated to 5.1.1 the search bar in the recent apps menu vanished. Did they make it optional, did they remove it or is it a bug? Thank you for your help

I only found you can enable it through Xposed module. It seems to be a feature that it's gone.

Hey man, do you know which Xposed module?
I've been searching through the modules page and am not sure which one.
I just want to be bale to show the search bar on the "recents" list/page. Thanks.

Favorite Xposed Modules

Now that we can use Xposed, what are your favorite modules? Here's what I've got so far (it's a pretty weak list):
Greenify
Gravity Box
XPrivacy
I've got APM+ and GravityBox so far

I thought you don't need xposed for greenify to worn even with root.

You need it for some experimental features.
Amplify
Gravity Box
Snapprefs
There's some other ones I loved but I haven't used Xposed ever since my Nexus 6 got 5.1 months and months ago.
I have the same as OP set up. Unfortunately Power Nap seems to not like the Moto X. I'm hoping that it gets updated and works.
Which file do I flash to get Xposed working? Can someone please let me know which one cause there are so many?
Thanks!

You'll want the SDK22 ARM64 one. Flash that with TWRO and then install the apk.

Yeah it definitely helps. I don't think it's a gigantic improvement but it makes a noticeable difference. Even if it's only a few extra hours in standby or a few minutes more of screen on time it's worth it.
I'm at work and can't remember all of my favs, but crappalinks is one of my favorites now... Removes redirects from websites, so if I click on a link I can open it directly now.
APM+ is also great. Used to use gravity box but may not need it now.

xposed is the framework
gravitybox is a module
(note - don't follow the steps in the video, to install. Instead, use the thread I referenced earlier that has the 2 files.)
Running GB and twisty switch here. All is well

I am not using xposed, but here is a link with more info on gravity box.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
Well, I've added to my list. MinMinGuard, Snapprefs, and Xposed GEL Settings (It seems like about half of the options in this module actually work...once its fully working, I shouldn't need Gravity Box anymore)
