Dark/inverted ui on stock - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to get a dark system wide ui on stock nexus 5 rom? I know there is team black out but that's app by app. I know there is slim kat too but I'm wondering if there is a theme or any way to do something like that on stock.
Thanks

Don't think so. Did you check themes and apps section?

KitKat stock keyboard emoticon skins

Any way to download and install new skins for the emoticons on the stock KitKat keyboard. Maybe like the same skins the iPhone uses. I cannot tell what half of the blobs are supposed to be doing. Thanks

Mistakes Google made in kit kat.

Hello guys,
I am on android kit kat right now and I can tell you many reasons why it is poor cosmetically.
First it looks like they took jelly bean and slapped a kit kat wrapper on it:
Look at the settings app, it has some blue colored toggles. Wait...... The new stock color base is white. What gives?
Now, the transparency issues. I like the transparent status bar a lot. But slide down the notification center. Its solid. That's right solid, they should make it transparent so the UI actually go in sync.
That's all i can think of right now. So anyone with a nexus or running a custom rom comment below if they think something is a little off in Googles new OS.

Yes, its not perfect, but its getting there. Im sure when they hit 5.0 they will implement a lot more continuity into Android.
I suppose its Google just testing the water

Someone will create a CM theme that fits 4.4 KK theme.
It's not perfect but I personally enjoy it.

I think the biggest mistake I did google both have chosen to no longer support the galaxy nexus.

Gravitybox kitkat and stock?

Hi all, I read the description for gravitybox and it says it is for pure vanilla AOSP ROMS. Does that include stock kitkat?
I have read that Google's nexus 5 kitkat has modifications to pure AOSP.
Can anyone confirm that gravitybox works with kitkat?
Thank you

Google stock does have modifications but not many. It works fine. It is close to AOSP. It's things liek Sense and touchwiz it is not designed for.
Yes it works on stock I was using it with no problems

It actually works best with stock kit Kat rom and kernel as that is what the developer of gravity box uses along with a N5. Tailor made for it!

Ok, quick question. I have X Blast running now. Any problems using Xblast and Gravitybox?
Thanks

If you run gravity box and xblast at the same time some things might conflict such as the status bar clock. There might be two of them so just disable one in either app but from personal experience there is no conflict with using both just make sure you don't have two things enabled for the same thing it'll display both and look goofy.

Did you search themes and apps forum?

Agree. I have samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0. And one od the reason why I won't get the samsung for my handphone is because I don't like the touchwiz.

Nothing surprises me anymore though when the top trending themer theme is iOS7
Hi,
If it's just about the look... Find a rom that supports Theme Chooser (like CM) and install a theme like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz&hl=fr (there is anothers).
Obviously that "the tastes and colours"...

Transparent Launcher for Non-rooted Phones?

Is there a basic launcher that allows trasparency on non-rooted Nexus 5? I used Holo Beta from the playstore before but it does not seem to work on Kit Kat. 4.4.2
Thanks folks!

I think you need more details than this? If you're non-rooted, does that mean you are on stock ROM as well?
If you're on stock, the base standard out-of-the-box launcher supports transparent navigation bar and status bar? You can't get much more basic than out-of-the-box!
If you don't mean navigation bar and status bar, which transparency are you referring to?
Or do you mean "basic" as in lighter and simpler than the stock launcher?
Action launcher
All of the major launchers have transparent top and bottoms. If not download nova beta, apex, etc. They should be up to date by now. My personal favorite is nova but it is your choice.
Hope this helps, please clarify if this is not what you were asking.
Yeah I kind of posted without checking what I wrote... Duh.... I meant transparent themes.... I was on carbon 4.2.2 on my galaxy s2. I may end up just rooting to get more goodies... I am loving stock right now. Got 4.5hours sot yesterday!
