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.

Hi, I'm quite new to putting a new rom on my phone, but so far loving the results but just have a couple of questions if anyone can help??
I have just installed an ICS rom, and I quite like the simple weather widget it comes with as stock, is there a Digital Clock widget to match it, I cant seem to find one, but I am sure I've seen one somewhere.
And secondly, is there a tweak somewhere that will allow me to have Wake On Volume keys?
There is not one in the settings maybe there is a downloadable one somewhere?
Thanks

Widgets in ics are more or less a problem right now. There are only few, because until there is a stable version it will be held as clean as possible. You can use any widgets from market not made for a special launcher. Try Android widgets pro, even if it had no digital clock though.
I think cm9 is the only ics ROM with volume key screen on, even if I'm not sure whether it's supported or not.
But there are other non-ics roms supporting that feature. I'm using endymion 3.4 and always waking up my screen with volume keys. On cm7 there was the same feature for sure.

I'm using ViperXL, I love that i can use the AOSP Lockscreen, but i miss some of the functionality the sense lockscreen gives me, is there some way to regain some of it? at least the shortcuts, I know that in the features list it says that i can do it, but i have tried several ways, like customizing the icons for the sense lockscreen an then disabling it, with no luck. Does anyone know how to do it? BTW I'm not posting this in the ViperXL thread because I don't have enough posts to ask in a developer forum, and i don't feel like spamming. Thanks.
I use WidgetLocker for this.

I don't like lockscreen apps for 2 reasons
1 they never work properly, every LS replacement i've tried appears after a glimpse of the homescreen and are kinda slower
2 they rarely look good and work at the same time
The Multi power reboot menu mod for the Stock N5 image is fantastic. There's one other tiny mod that I sorely miss from Shiny on my GNex:
"Kill All Recent Apps Mod - Places a small button in the bottom left corner of the Recent Apps screen that allows you to remove all of your recent apps from the list with a single tap."
I've seen someone else mention some ROM that has such a feature . . . but part of my joy in owning a Nexus is running a very-nearly-stock version of Android, with a couple of minor tweaks or mods to add or change things I want.
I'd be very grateful if someone whipped up a version of this mod for Stock N5s.
This would indeed be a very awesome mod, second vote!
Yes, they have this option for notifications, why not in recent apps? CM does have this.
+3
If you run cataclysm ROM it has this feature. It pretty much is stock ROM with a bunch of needed/useful options. I've been running build "Nov 20, 2013 Stable" as my daily and no real issues yet. Definitely worth checking out.

I would love this on stock. My stock room runs smoother than the cataclysm rom. Scrolling is slightly better. So does anybody have a flashable zip?

Or wait for xposed and gravity box
I agree, I really want to keep stock rooted on my N5 with add on mods. If any developer can throw one of these out, that would be like O M G; T Y!?
that option is included in most custom roms
Current/updated Gravity Box has it; not all GB features work, but some do.
See top right.
Well, it's still halfway into the status bar, but it can still be used somewhat.
GravityBox does this. Works great.

Is there a single lock screen app that does just the basics ; show upcoming appointments, missed calls messages and some short cut to few apps ? HTC lock screen did all this and i dont see a single one available for nexus 5.
Cover is nice but shows no notifications
dashclock is nice but android 4.4 for some stupid reason wont show the widget full length and shows the lock pin pad for half the screen by default.
Dashclock has a feature, that collapses all widgets. That will cause it to show all the important stuff, as soon as your screen is unlocked, having you drag the little lockpad on the bottom upwards or tapping on it to bring up the keyguard.
Edit: Also go to settings>lock screen>widgets and check maximize widgets.

i do not see any such option.. My understanding is android in 4.4 forces you(widgets) to run minimize mode by default and a system apk needs a change to fix this https://code.google.com/p/dashclock/wiki/FAQ . did you get around this somehow?
Its probably worth mentioning that I am using beanstalk. I completely derped and forgot other Roms/non-root exist. I really don't know how the situation is, with third-party programs, but I guess you could look around for some app that forces the expanded/maximized view. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
is the beanstalk rom stable enough to use on my nexus5? basic functions like camera, calls, bluetooth should work fine.. ( CM for nexus 5 is not reached stable release yet)
Almost all roms here are stable enough for everyday use. Just because they aren't labeled stable, doesn't mean they aren't stable.

You can also root and run XPosed Module - there is an option in Gravity Box that forces widgets to be maximized on the lockscreen by default.
Another app you may want to look at is Widget Locker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&hl=en
It costs a few bucks, but you can customize it to your liking.
i ended up rooting the phone ( CF auto root) and getting xposed framework and installing the maximize widget module. works fine with dash clock now. Should have done the root day 1 i got my nexus 5
I found this app yesterday, and I love it.
It is like pie controls for your unrooted Note 4.
One hand, one swipe access to recent tasks and people, favorite apps and toggles.
It works flawlessly and looks cool as well. Check it out. It's free.
Lazy swipe, ONE HAND and ONE SWIPE,do whatever you want!
Slide out the "Lazy Swipe" from your screen's left or right bottom corner in any situation, you could:
1. Find and open your most frequently used applications without any settings;
2. Find and open your newly installed or recently used application, no longer need to scrolling in your many application list;
3. Switch on and off the commonly used general settings, such as wifi, bluetooth, flashlight etc...
Since this is my first post, I can't post the link to the Play Store for it, or a review of it that led me to it in the first place, but it's "Lazy Swipe".
Loving it! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks for posting!

Super super slow app
I have tried it on z1 compact running cm12.
They changed the name to Omni Swipe. About to try it now.
EDIT: I'm loving this app. I don't even flip screens much anymore. Very easy to use. Thanks.
you know pie launcher can be ran on stock phones now too
so you dont need to be root just sayin
Has anyone using Omni Swipe been having any network issues when trying to download a theme through the app settings? Lately, every time I try to download my favorite theme, or search for a new one, it keeps telling me there's something wrong with my network when everything else is working fine. All I want to do is reapply the 'Hola Awakens' theme I have on my Tab 3, which is also having the same network issue using the same app, but I can't find the install location for Omni. If I could find it, I could probably just copy the theme there. Anyway, the rest of the app works fine, aside from that pesky network thing. Any thoughts?
