Nexus 5 Expand Desktop without CyanogenMod

So I had CyanogenMod 11 installed for a while and whilst I much prefered it to stock android I am a big user of the camera and I couldnt stand the CyanogenMod camera so I have gone back to stock.
Whilst I am mostly finding stock completely useable, one thing I am really missing is CM's option to expand desktop.
So I am wondering if there is some img that I can flash to give the phone this feature without having to install the whole rom?
Thank you.

Bump

Search for xposed framework, then follow the instructions to install. Reboot. Download GravityBox (can be downloaded from within xposed app) and activate it. Reboot.
Expanded desktop is under display tweaks in GravityBox, and there's even pie control in status bar tweaks.
Don't forget to thank the devs

+1. I use this method on both of my phones and it works beautifully. There is also an immersive mode option in gravitybox but I much prefer standard expanded desktop + pie controls.
I wrote up a semi detailed guide on how to set it up- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554592

Thank you very much to both of you, much appreciated

Thanks for the guide. Do you have any idea how I can automate this in tasker for stock 4.4.2 rom? (i.e. auto immersive mode / expand desktop for specific applications) I have tried enabling it via secure settings, but it complains about my rom.

You know, I never got into tasker so I can't help you there, but there is an Xposed module called App Settings which allows you to set Immersive Mode on a per app basis. It's a must-have module, IMO. You can download it from the Xposed Installer app.

Obviously XInternalSD. Important things for you, who using CM11 or CM12 and above that facing save to SDcard issues

Xinstaller- Allows installation of older versions of apps, installation of unsigned apps and many more..
Lockscreen tweakbox- Many features but my favorite is 'Unlimited Pattern Attempts'
HideBatteryLowAlert- You will not get anymore that message to charge your battery. This annoying message even worsens the already low battery status

Xposed modules for the OnePlus 2

Figured we could use a thread like this, so here we go. Feel free to post the modules you're using, requests for compatibility or just general discussion.
I'll kick off with the few I'm using:
Clean Lockscreen (Repo) | (No XDA thread)
SNAPPREFS (Repo) | (XDA thread)
YouTube AdAway (Repo) | (XDA thread)
I've found GravityBox to be too buggy and unreliable to use in case anyone was wondering. It doesn't play well with O2OS at all.

Greenify + PowerNap

Hows powernap working on the OP2?.
Is it very good ? Any problem?

What have you configured inside GB? I tried remapping the navbar keys, changing the power menu, changing the battery icon and a few more minor tweaks. None worked as they should.

I tweak a few things
• Percentage on battery icon (I mean I use standard circle battery icon but percentage is in the middle of it)
• Date next to time
• Network traffic
• Quick shortcuts : no more brightness bar and added battery shortcut (no icon, but I can swith on/off battery saver mode quickly) -> with those modifications I can't use the little shortcut (the grey four-squares button on top right) to readjust shortcuts positions but I can use the GravityBox settings to do it.
Screenshots :

I think they are the only tweaks I set. I use a standalone module for progressbar (statusbar download progress) which works really fine
Other modules working :
Amplify
Greenify
App Settings (at least for per-App DPI setting)
XuiMod (nice Xperia toast animation, just need to reboot after a change)

Powernap working fine just the force touch UI is not working(another xposed module that i love to use during OPO)

I'm using Xposed GEL Settings but it will not unlock the premium features. Says "Lucky Patcher" is installed and that I need to uninstall it to gain access to the premium features. I googled Lucky Patcher and among other things, it is used to get around IAP's. I don't have it installed so I'm unsure what is going on. Anyone else run into this?
Edit: I've done a factory reset and installed nothing but xposed and gel settings and still get this error so it appears it's something within the OS. I don't have this problem on any of my other devices (I have many).
Edit 2: when I trigger the soft keys, the premium features of GEL Settings begin to work. I can then go back to hardware buttons and the features remain. A reboot resets this. So, it looks like something in the software regarding the hardware keys makes GEL Settings think this "Lucky Patcher" is installed.

xposed-v73-sdk22-arm64.zip yeah. Note that you need the 22 SDK as O2OS is based on Lollipop 5.1.

Can I assume V74-SDK22-arm64 is fine as well? I dont see V73

Curious that people report Amplify working, for me it installs fine but blocks no wakelocks.

SUMMARY
adityak1303 said:
OK so I've flashed the latest build and here are the improvements over the previous build:
1) ROM is much smoother and more responsive. RAM management also seems better.
2) Camera works now. Although you still can't record videos using the default camera, footej camera works fine.
3) Flashlight also works. No problems there.
4) Moto gestures are added and work without any hiccups. They are under system>gestures.
5) Ambient display works as it did in Lineage 14. Display lights up when notifications arrive or when you wave your hand over the proximity sensor or when you just pick up your phone.
6) Alarms work now. Alarm wakes up the screen and works fine.
7) The battery charging LED is off by default.
8) For Root, I flashed Magisk v14. It rooted the device properly but Safety Net test failed.
Some other things I noticed:
1) When ambient display turns on, you have to double tap the screen to get to your lockscreen. It was a single tap on Lineage 14.
2) There is no menu to assign custom long-press and single tap actions to navbar buttons. Navbar tuner/editor is not available. Although you can add a few extra buttons to navbar if you enable the System UI tuner.
3) Also I couldn't find the gesture to enable double tap on status bar to sleep.
4) AOSP keyboard stays on screen if you're typing and hit the home button. It does go away by pressing back or home again.
5) Memory usage is under Developer Options.

I found a key code to turn off screen - It's a 26
first of all you need to turn on system UI tuner by following below steps :-
1. Pull down the status bar
2. See the ‘Settings’ cogwheel at the right hand corner? Tap and hold on it for around 10 seconds.
3. Once you let go after 10 seconds, you’ll be taken straight to the Settings app with a prompt saying that System UI Tuner has been enabled.
Now go to settings - system - system UI tuner - navigation bar - Extra left button type / extra right button type - choose a option keycode - enter a value in left keycode / right keycode '26' - choose any icon for left icon / right icon - that's it..

Yes, now we can just give a link instead of verbose replies! Yeah, I'm out of thanks buttons, too, again, but THANKS!

aisa bi koi rules hai kya 8 thanks ka = I do not have any rules for that - well not quite! but that's google's version, but we know what you meant!!!
wish we had more thanks buttons but I guess things would get totally out of hand.

This is an alpha of alpha. I would give it almost to official before asking that question again, esp since notification dots don't work yet, if you don't see changes. Theme-ing is probably bottom priority. Thanks for testing! Only test the stock launcher here, please! Others go in Q&A....

hey man i know all that. i am also annoyed by these "n00b" questions. but better read my text more carefully next time. i was asking about pixel launcher inbuilt icon shape changer. its not ROM related. i just asked, as i saw few here posting screenshots with pixel launcher & those round icons. thats why i asked there. please calm down a bit.
as you opened this nice Q&A thread, i would recommend to add some info or workarounds like for: how to root, how to enable notification dots,not working list may etc on OP. so we can send ppl here if they ask. i can write those up if u want,. like this:
Q: how to enable Google Assistant on 1Gb RAM osprey?
A: just open build.prop from /system & at the very bottom add this line "ro.opa.eligible_device=true" make sure the last line is a blank one. save & reboot

Actually i have read somewhere that round icon is only for pixel device.. sory if my info is wrng.. because for round icon need to work around on framework-res.apk
Have u installed latest pixel launcher which u will found on apk miror... And install as system app.. if not then just give a try..
Edit. Sry ya this is available for all with 5 new icon default, square, rounded square, squricle and teardrop...
So my suggestion install latest pixel launcher from apk mirrror or pixel oreo dup file..
And on launcher settings u will get this feature..

You dont need pixel luncher for round icons.. you can have round with default rom luncher..
Also thansk for google Assistant..i was thinking to use magisk module or some apps for playstore bit your way is easyer and faster

I went back to another rom for now because of the charging light staying on. No app from the play store working with this rom. Had this issue on another rom and the dev wrote a script that you can flash to disable. Got to be a way to rid it until option put in rom. Sorry if I sound like it's a big deal. For me it's a deal breaker. This rom and developer is so good, I can wait for it. ?

Search this app on play store " Moto LED for moto X & E"
I am using it and it works totally fine but make sure you have root access.

This is a great idea - I added 2 to post2 of this thread but if that is not what you had in mind or you have a better idea, holler. This is not locked in stone. I am not the all-controller.

I suggest you use blackmart app as an alternative to play store until its fixed. Just search on google blackmart apk. @melp57

Very useful apps working without root

I'll root my device but not for the moment. In the meanwhile, I suggest these useful "no root" apps to perform tasks for which we usually use apps needing root:
- For adblock, Block this: this a VPN based adblocker, works very fine, free
- To hybernate some apps, Hybernator: manual hybernation or automated hybernation when screen off, free (not free for system apps)
- To prevent apps autostart at boot, All-In-One Toolbox, free
- To increase number of volume steps, Precise Volume, free (pro version not free)
Pls give further suggestions if you have some...

Guess your already making themes and apps for the xz2 @nreuge nice bro congrats we will miss you back at the z5 community

I'd suggest (and I'm already using) this one: NetGuard - No-root firewall by M66B. Btw, this great app can also block ads :good:
Big thanks @M66B, you're awesome :highfive:

I prefer Greenify to Hibernate Apps.

Yes, Greenify has a no-root mode. Hybernator or Greenify, I don't which is the more reliable. Hybernator seems to work fine on my device.

BLOCK THIS is awesome, youtube is totaly adfree... before i used blokada (i dont know why i have realy used it so.... great app thanks for sharing
HYBERBNATOR gave me little stutters before unlocking screen and sometimes black screen....but i guess it is about fine tuning it

I'm using YouTube Vanced Non-Root version and it does work fine (background playback as well) - its xda thread!
I have my own debloat script to uninstall system apps (no root required ofc), not yet released. Is it worth releasing it? @Klaus N. can say a few words about it!

Yes bro, I can confirm, with your script you get rid of many unwanted apps - without root! It's a bat file, means you simply connect your phone with your pc and double-click the bat file via shell. The device reboots automatically when finished. The only two things you have to consider:
1. USB Debugging must be on in developer settings
2. If there's an app which has already been updated before running the script, you can simply use settings > apps to remove that apps.
But I guess, there will be a better description when you'll release it
@serajr
A big thanks to you - awesome work as always my friend! :good::highfive:

Download Progress in Status bar.
And Wireguard works on our phone without root

Picture Manager is an awesome app to consolidate your 3 different 100andro folders because you flashed too many different ROMs and have always new DSC0001.jpg pictures.

Custom Navigation Bar also rocks!

Ruthless (Pixel 2) Launcher is an awesome launcher with plenty of customizations.
I recommend it.

for pictures/photos there is only one - quickpic, been using it for years, it has every conceivable option possible and has no bloat, the main reason I ever explored the need for a 3rd party app was because the standard Sony Album didn't allow you to exclude folders, it really is extremely good

Port of Pixel 3 live wallpapers are now available: [PORT] [APP] [6.0+] [Google Pixel 3/XL] Pixel Wallpapers 18 [26/09/2018]
I particularly like the Pixie Emerald...
After apk installation, grant location permission to the app to avoid FC.

AdAway
TitaniumBackup
Maybe Greenify. But my battery life and speed is fine.
Running the phone the entire day in the battery save mode.
Btw. Since I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the last September firmware, my touch got better. Even with battery saver mode.

Ha ha, maybe should we start a new thread now
Lspeed is always a must. I've enabled all the performance options which don't affect battery life. XZ2 is still more than powerful, but even more power can't harm ^^
On the contrary, you can enable the battery options (which affect performance). This is the magic of Lspeed, you can do whatever you want
I've installed the following magisk modules:
- Magisk SELinux Manager
- AOSP Volume Steps Increase
- Audio Compatibility Patch (for audio effects remaining active whatever the app)
- Looki75 Product Sans Font (it's the new Google Font)
- App Systemizer - Terminal Emulator
They all work fine
OMG!! Root is so fantastic
