[Q] Halo + CM Expanded Desktop - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone recommend a rom? I don't want Xposed to use, because of ART.

AICP. It's my favorite rom out now. It has everything you need in a rom including Halo and Expanded desktop as well as its ART compatible
Super powered Nexus 5 running AICP/ElementalX

[Q] Which ROM suits me better? (No bashing please)

Have the P3110 which means I have the WiFi only model. I am torn between Cyanogenmod 10.1 and Pac Rom. CM10.1 is more popular and it's like stock Android. The problem I have with CM is the notifications pulldown, I want the default sliding toggles that come with Touchwiz, not the square tiles, which look like they just waste space. That's my only problem with CM. Then I looked at Pac Rom and thought "Wow that looks sexy, all those vibrant colors!" and it had the option to change the UI between Tablet UI, Phablet UI, and another option I forgot. So I am swaying more towards Pac Rom, but I read the replies and it looks like there are lots of bugs, specifically the glitched boot animation, and apparently some glitches with the nav bar and changing the UI. What ROM is better for me?
If you can wait, than choose P.A.C man, it will suit you the best.
Sounds like you want a 4.1.x rom rather than a less stable 4.2.x rom. I'll always suggest aokp milestone 1 to everyone.

I want 4.2, but it sounds like there's no stable 4.2 ROM yet. I still want it though, what is the most stable 4.2 ROM?
CM10.1

But the tiles are ugly, is there any way to change them to sliding toggles?
No, this tiles are the new feature of 4.2.2, but you can have your old toggles back if you activatet them in Settings>System but you can not make the tiles disappair
There's a free app called notification toggles that you can use if you like the sliding toggles.

CM10.1 or AOSPA3+ for me.
I use Power Toggle widget. Very convenience, everything on/off is one click away.
I'm loving cm 10.1, defgo recommend it

PAC Rom
FATURES:
* All in One Rom [CM, AOKP and PA]
* PhoneUI, TabletUI, PhabletUI
* Latest Version 23.0.0
* Some Features from AOKP
* All Feautures from PA (the one with the chaging UIs, ie: Phone, Phablet and Tablet)
* All Features from CM (based on the RC4 CM10.1)
* Of course JellyBean 4.2.2
* Ketut.kumajaya's Kernel (black hawk kernel)
*just join the thread to further improve the ROM by reporting bug issues.
i recommend you use PACROM. it has everything fromCM10.1, AOKP, and paranoidandroid. it's basically CM10.1 on steroids.

Is Paranoid Android missing these features?

I just switched over to PA and it seems to be the one ROM I like the most out of all the ones I've tried (AOKP, CM, CarbonRom). However, I liked having the power toggles at the top of my screen along with the weather widget that CM and CarbonROM had (cLock). Are these missing in PA? I assume cLock is missing since it by CM, but are the power toggles missing as well?
If either or both of these are missing, what are my best alternatives?

Could try Rootbox. It's not on 4.3 yet, but it has features from CM, AOKP, and PA all bundled in one, along with a few of it's own tweaks. I have it running on almost all of my devices (minus my Rezound): both Nexus 7's, Galaxy Nexus, and my S3.

Statusbar settings - Navbar - pie control - halo

Hey guys,
Since I got my N5 I was wondering if there is a way to configure the navbar... Put the back-button on the right etc.
And is there a way to get some quick settings like ring mode or gps directly into the Statusbar "pull down menu"... I don't like that title based setting stuff
Second: any way yet to get pie control? Certainly not integrated in kitkat (what kinda sucks)
And, most wanted, but also least possible: halo))).... Likewise not in kitkat (what sucks even more ) I want it but I guess I'll have to wait for the first few custom Roms to feature these things, right....
Just wait for paranoid Android, i used it for about 6 months on my nexus 4 and it was a realy great rom
Pa allows you to customize the nav bar use pie navigation and also halo
I will wait with rooting and using custom Roms because i realy like my nexus 5 as it is, because they made the nav bar transparency
And i will also weit till the nexus 5 developement section is filled
LMT gives you PIE and some other nice things like gestures and integrates with Tasker. Still waiting for my N5 so not sure if LMT works with it.
Yeah, I think I'll wait for PA then.. Enjoy the n5 little as is...

PA features

Hi all,
I been using OPO for last 3 weeks now... I m coming from galaxy s3 with liquid smooth ROM. Some of the feature I m missing are Halo and pie control.. Particularly recent apps button from pei. Can someone suggest how to get simile features?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
Halo has been replaced with Hover or Heads Up. Mainly Heads Up.
Pie Controls, look for a ROM with the feature. Mahdi has PA Pie or Slim Pie (you pick)
Well I don't want to install custom ROM because I like CM I just want to get these features... I don't see these apps in play stores.. Can you provide link for apk?
There is a standalone app for PIE. Find it on the internet.
Heads Up is built into CM.
PAC rom has halo.
Also these days PA pie and slim pie are almost identical what comes to functionality, in other words they are useless, I suggest to use dbpie even through it hasn't been updated for a while.

[Q] PIE or Custom Navbar Buttons?

Hey there,
i excessivly use custom navbar buttons (e.g. Chrome with Chrome Icon), but my current ROM BlissPop 2.0 got Lockscreen Lag, which I can't fix. And newer Versions of the ROM discontinued the extreme customizable Navbar Settings with the for me useless CM Navbar Settings.
I searched and searched, but no ROM seems to have the "old" Navbar Settings, where you can add what you want to it and change the Icon.
Now my ROM keeps lagging even more and I am searching for an alternative, maybe with customizable PIE controls. But not even the new ROMs seem to still have PIE Controls :/
Does anybody have a ROM suggestion for me ? Could also be an older Version (but available)...

Actually the best way to find out is to try for yourself for a few days. You just make a titanium backup of your apps. Then start flashing. Try every other roms and you would be surprised actually. I even tried the ROMS I never heard before but they were worth it actually.
Like Validus has awesome battery life and I have become a fan of it with its smoothness and tweaks. I would have never known if i have never tried it.
Also after every few days, redo your titanium backup of your apps like whatsapp and other messaging/notes app if they are not synced online.
Quote me in case you expect a reply!
