I side loaded android L on my nexus 5 ,but there seems to be issues with it. I lost my gallery app and one of the quick toggles in the notification panel is invert colors option instead of the auto rotate . What should I do?
The gallery app is not bundled in the Nexus 5 factory image. Google wants you to use Photos app. If u really want it back just search the forums. I saw a link to the old gallery app floating around somewhere. Or even better install piktures from play store..
There was another post about the invert colors toggles as well somewhere here, I just can't seem to find it. May be you will find it.

Just wanting to confirm that there's no shortcut to the play store built into the launcher anywhere? I've had a look around and there doesn't seem to be one. It seems like quite a regression to me having to find it in the app drawer or have it on the home screen, unless I'm missing something?
Yeah can confirm. I believe it has to do with decoupling the play store from the core of android, giving better security / control over app installation. Don't have to hunt very far

While this question is not directly related to Nexus 5, but since it is one of the few devices running KitKat, I'm posting it here. Its been more than a month since KitKat has launched, but even today the "immersive mode" (which I feel is SO important!) has not been translated to many apps that I use regularly -- Kindle, Pocket, Feedly etc. Its not like these apps haven't updated in the last month or so (they have). Is there any reason why these companies have not considered putting immersive mode as a priority item?
Stability is always the priority. Ask the developers of each app if they plan to support it. We don't know the answer in that, we cannot read minds

There is an Xposed module on these forums somewhere, that enables immersive mode everywhere. It has a few flaws though, as some apps just don't work right with it, or once the navigation bar pops back up, it cuts off the portion of the screen.
However the ones that did work with it, it worker great. It would be nice for someone to make an app or tweak to force selected apps into immersive mode, while allowing the navigation bar to stay where needed.

I still use expanded desktop + PIE controls. I think it works better than immersive mode. I turn it on when gaming.
I used the "Immerse me" xposed module, but it had some issues. Fore example in the AOSP messaging app, when the keyboard popped up, the last message received appeared inbetween the keyboard and where I was typing the message, but only partly. part was behind where I typed teh message. I found that disorientating. Also in tapatalk, which I use a lot - when the keyboard came up, teh top of tapatalk (the tapatalk toolbar) disappeared and I couldn't scroll. Really tricky to use with Pie as I had to keep backing out of the keyboard to do things within tapatalk when typing messages.

Could you elaborate on this? A quick play store search couldn't find expanded desktop, but I found something called pie control.

Hey man thanks for this! This is pretty much what I've been wanting. Now I can use the full resolution of my nexus 5! Great for streaming my PC games. Woohoo!
Would still be nice to have some sort of way to choose what apps go full screen, cuz it would just be easier to already have the nav bar for apps that are better suited for it, then go away on ones you want full screen for, but this is still a lot better than the immersive module for xposed. Thanks again.

Hey no prob, happy to help. It kinda breathes new life into the phone, doesn't it? This mod saved my N5 from being tossed in a drawer. I use it more than my Moto X now, just because of gaming on its 5" screen.
I know this may seem a bit of a silly question but I love transparent widgets and so forth. I was wondering if it would be possible to have Gapps that are transparent.
For instance, the swipe to the left feature of getting Google now on the home screen is nice but sometimes I love still seeing my family photos in the background. Or even semi transparent so that you could still see the background partially, or maybe modify something within the system to make all apps appear with some sort of transparency like an Xposed Module, anyone know if its possible?
(I used search but I'm on mobile so it basically included every thread that included the word 'gapps', nothing about transparent apps)

Is there anything I can do to let me get the phablet ui . I know paranoid android doesn't have hybrid settings yet and pacman isnt officially released so is there a way ?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
The phablet ui no longer exists. Google removed it.
There were 2 things before:
Tablet/Phablet layout of SystemUI - This changed how status bar, notification drawer and navigation buttons were laid out. Google dropped the native implementation (which PA used) for kitkat. Any future implementation of this will need to be completely custom. I haven't seen that anyone has managed this yet
Tablet layout of apps - this is different. App developers may want their app to appear differently on a tablet than on a phone so they develop the app to change at a certain dpi (generally tablets have lower dpi). This still exists. It can be triggered by dropping the dpi to something that will make your eyes bleed or by using xposed+app settings module, which allows per app control of the layout using the "screen (dp)" option
Hope this helps

I think google wanted a unified experience across device types. It kind of makes sense to me. If you can use an android phone, you can use an android tablet. When I first tried a Honeycomb tablet I didn't know wtf was going on

You cant, it's a upgrade for the future read the future updates on the play store description
I could not find why people are so interest about this spam .
Guys this is still in BETA version i must say. So some features will still be developed, expect less first but the most important thing here is check for bugs and fc's.
I'm testing this on CM10.2 and CM11!

Looks nice but I don't know what's special in this lockscreen
Nice..but a bit laggy for my s4 though..
This works fine and the interest is because its a Android L lock screen. I use and it there is one more being developed as well. Gallery is coming soon as well as the status bar.

I dont have any lag.
Thanks, well it replace my default Samsung lock screen?
Okay so this surprised me, it works pretty well. Just one thing, maybe don't have the settings on the lockscreen. Also have a look at allowing for customizes gestures. I am very used to just swiping right to unlock my device, will take a bit to get used to swiping up.

My link send you to the play store.
Pressing the home button still lets you unlock it without any more action
There are various causes why I won't use this lockscreen for now:
- Hiding the status bar results in nav bar and status bar beeing accessable by swiping up/down, making unlocking a mess (it's just fullscreen...)
- Because of the previous bug the notification / quick settings area is accessable
- Disabling the home button results in the nav bar always beeing shown
- Nav bar is transparent, but has a bad looking shadow (see next image)
- The apps-ring of the home button is under the lockscreen, but the apps open when you "select" them (http://imgur.com/eNitpBU)
- My camera doesn't open with the build in feature (com.android.camera2 v2.0.002)
- No music player control
Nevertheless I buyed the premium addon to support your work, I hope this app will get better.
Link doesn't work
Can you just upload apk files on mediafire?
Any way to find a working link. Would like to try this out but all the links lead to nowhere.
Plez give me a working link.......
