I stopped using GO Launcher (now using ADW EX) but I really liked the GO TaskManager widget. Anybody know of a app that's just like that?
(meaning it shows the currently running apps and lets me quickly kill any I want right in the widget. It also shows the available RAM)
I have tried many and non is like the GO TM?
Wow. As of yesterday, I'm looking for the exact same thing for the exact same reason (switching to ADW Launcher.) I know that doesn't help you any, but you're not alone in the search. If I find anything, I'll post back here.

I would also love to have something like this.
I just started looking myself, but I will post back if I find anything.
I found this one which is somewhat like GoTaskManager (but not as good)

Guys,
Do I stand any chance of finding stock ROM, but with following mods?
Volume up or down wake up screen
Turn on flashlight on long(2 sec) volume up or down while screen turned off. Turn it off on volume key up or down.
Wake up lock screen on double tap
Google calendar with text in month view
Remove google apps including Google search bar
Advanced reboot menu
Android 4.3 dialer
% instead of battery
Thanks :good:
Check the development section, read the OPs of all the ROM threads, pick the one that best suits your needs.

Would you please explain the difference between Android developement and Original Android threads?

Stock ROM, rooted with xposed installer. Gravity Box KK for most of your feature requests. Titanium Backup to remove or freeze the apps and features you want removed. Simply install alternative launcher, no root needed, to change search bar behavior. A thread is in the Themes & Apps section about adding full text to Google Calendar, or use a third party calendar app.
Search, research, simply browsing these forums will bring you all your answers.

Unfortunately I have no Android skills to implement all thes features separately, its too advances stuff for me, therefore I was hoping for ROM with them built in.

Honestly, if you can't root and install a few apps from xda and the Play Store then there is no way you should be flashing a custom ROM.
Read threads. Research. Learn. Xposed is simply a collection of apps. Titanium Backup is an app from the Play Store. Search Bar simply needs another launcher, such as installing Nova Launcher from Play Store.
Really, flashing a custom ROM is much more "work" than all the individual steps that I listed.
Not trying to come off as a jerk, just don't want you borking your device without actually understanding what you are doing. None of the requests you made Require a custom ROM, and all of them are more simply implemented without using a custom ROM.

The problem is that every mod/tweak thread is full of terminology, which is understandable only to Android wise people. There is no consistent way of implementing mods, as every developer choses his own way of doing things. If there would be just one way of installing a mod, then there would be no problems. Imagine, for example, one program to run which would ask you to browse for file to be installed, few clicks, reboot and its done, you have modified your Android or installed a new feature.
I have been reading forum for so many weeks, but I still cannot get my head around this all flashing/modding etc. I`m not the stupidest person on the planet, but I can`t get it because there are soooo many ways of doing same one thing and developers use whatever option they like. You really have to understand writing code/Linux.
But I love Android as OS and Nexus 5 is amazing phone, hence I jumped from iOS. Shame I`m just not able to use it to its full potential and enjoy as I would like it.

Well the development section is supposed to be meant for ROMs that are built off the stock ROM, and original
development would be for full custom ROMs built from AOSP source. Though with the Nexus devices it seems there is a lot of grey area when it comes to dev and original dev.

Xposed Framework IS exactly as easy as installing an app, choosing from a list of mods, downloading them, then rebooting. That's exactly what you described that you are looking for.

+1. All my devices are stock + Xposed. No need for a custom ROM anymore.

Hence the purpose of Xposed Framework. Xposed is an app that allows you to have some of the front-end features and granular control of custom ROMs while keeping the Stock ROM on the backend. All it requires is root access. Once you're rooted you simply sideload the Xposed installer. Then from within the Xposed Installer, you install the Xposed Framework. Finally once Xposed Framework is installed, you download modules from within the Xposed Installer that suit your needs i.e. GravityBox.
Thank you very much, will start with that then.
Hey all, new to the forums and Nova, but loving them so far.
One thing I couldn't figure out though in Nova Prime, is if there's a way to change the apps in Frequently Used Apps at the top of the Drawer.
I want to be able to "pin" certain apps at the top of the page so the apps would be custom, rather than just assigned based on my usage.
I'd include a picture to show what I mean but apparently I can't post links.
Any help/info is appreciated, thank you.

Hi all,
I am loving Nova Launcher, and found a few themes I like in Playstore. I also found a site this a.m. that I would love feedback on, Android Looks There are tons of themes to choose from but I am not sure about the .apk files. I've used them before as I installed them for Google Play on my Kindles. Never an issue. But I did get the .apk through xda, so I felt pretty secure trying that.
I'm only a little, bit tekkie but I also know the risks when trying new things for my devices. I did look around (did a search) on this site to see if the Android Looks site was talked about anywhere, but nothing came up.
I'd like to hear from anyone that may have used their themes (.apk's) and found them reputable? Or maybe just someone that knows the site and creator?
Thanks for any feedback. Phone info below:
Moto G6 8.0 Oreo
Nova Launcher
Android Looks says it's for Go Launcher, but as you read down the site, it also lists other launchers compatible with the themes. Nova being one.
Thread closed as per Op's request.
