Thanks for the pics!! could you possibly make a video review on it?

thanks again!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _jordan_:
Nice photos. Curious to see what the black one looks like. Hopefully someone takes pics.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Just got the black/yellow case. It looks very sharp. The yellow is very rich. Would be hard not to see it if you left it somewhere.

The case is of great quality. Not bulky but definitely provides protection. The audio jack opening should be big enough for any size connector. The micro-USB opening is big enough even for some wide cables. Buttons are easy to press. It is very shiny in the back and a little slippery too. Overall, I like it a lot.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kingston73:
I just ordered a white one, I have a slim armor so I do t know if I'll keep this or not. I ended up with5 or 6 cases for my s3 so I probably will get something else even if I end up liking this speck. How do you like it as far as holding it? I'm worried it's going to be too slick.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
I like it a lot. Its solid. Slides into/out of jeans pocket easy. The back is a bit slippery but you get use to it and I have no issues now. Its not that slippery from the sides.

Seems like it will protect from a decent drop. I wanted something solid but not bulky. I feel like this case is it.

[MENTION=2660796]chris6278[/MENTION] Does your Speck have a little bump on the back where the K is? Mine does probably from production that allows it to spin like a top which is super weird. I picked up the white/black as well. I wish they had more normal colours though but at least the white hides the scratches
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bdizzel1982:
I'm curious for those of you who bought the case are you still happy with it or did you move onto something else. I'm currently using a cruzer lite case but looking to possibly pick one of these up as well.
[Nexus 5 General] 2sl0w:
What is everyone running?

I run 340 and love it.. But it seems most of you run/prefer 400.

To edit your LCD density use any root explorer and find the build.prop file. Then edit ro.sf.LCD_density to whatever you desire... 300-480 is safe. I use android tuners built in build.prop editor and this is what editing it looks like:

Here are some images at 340dpi :

Stock launcher - homescreen

Chrome

****

Edit with nova launcher 400 DPI is better. Nova icons are so small and the grid spacing is smaller that 320-340 overkill now.

Nova 400dpi home screen:

Chrome 400dpi:
[Nexus 5 General] Molitro:
I was using 440, now I'm testing out 400. Feels pretty good.

320 looks a lot like an overkill to me.

I tried going higher with 320 and small font but the icons are better proportioned to me at 300 / normal font. Anything lower than 280 enters phablet / tablet mode.
[Nexus 5 General] kaywalker23:
Damn you guys are going low. I couldn't even stand 340 so I'm at 440 now which is nice. might try 400 later on.
[Nexus 5 General] 2sl0w:
300 with normal font
[Nexus 5 General] umesswitme:
340 with normal font for me not too bad just enough to get sms text fields below the "nexus 5" on the stock screen protector
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
Some others in another thread were discussing this as well. 445 seems to be the consensus for what it should look like stock. I've been running 445 for a few hours and I'm loving it. I'm considering trying 440 but 445 really does seem to be the perfect size for the screen.
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
368
[Nexus 5 General] chirantan.f:
Which rom are you guys using? I don't seem to find option to change LCD density in stock rom
[Nexus 5 General] ahfunaki:
You have to be rooted. Then you can use an app like ROM Toolbox to change it.

What app is everyone using to change it? Anything better than ROM toolbox?
[Nexus 5 General] 2sl0w:
I used andromodizer. All apps should be about the same. Its really just an edit in the build.prop file. I am going to try 445 and 368 to see how it looks. I am mostly interested in 7 icons in the home screen with the stock launcher. But can use apex or nova to get 7 with a higher DPI. The inky problem with 300 and normal font is the keyboard is rather small in portrait mode. In landscape it is fine though.
[Nexus 5 General] DevShaft:
I used 320dpi until I found a bug in the launcher which pops up the keyboard every time you go from an app back to home by pressing the home button. Very annoying. Now I noticed this does not happen at 361dpi and up, so I'm at that now. Just do not want to switch launcher.
[Nexus 5 General] phositadc:
Does changing DPI put apps like tapatalk into tablet mode?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] .jond:
I used "texdroider_dpi" from the market to set it.

400 looks good to me. Haven't tried smaller yet though....
[Nexus 5 General] umesswitme:
I just change the build.prop
[Nexus 5 General] Molitro:
400 feels like the sweet spot to me.

(I just edit build.prop btw. Faster than downloading apps)
[Nexus 5 General] GHOSTIVVI:
400 looks to be the sweet spot indeed!
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
Man, you guys are going low. anything under 440 just seems to small to me. I just wish I could decrease the icon sizes a bit more while leaving everything else at 440. Hopefully Nova Launcher Beta will be out soon.
[Nexus 5 General] ahfunaki:
I wish for the same thing! And I can't wait for Nova either!
[Nexus 5 General] bikeryder007:
I am digging 400 on mine, but the GE launcher will not let me resize my widgets. I am hoping Nova will get it dialed.

I've just ran through a bunch of different DPI, image stayed, might have been unrelated.

Edit add on:

[Nexus 5 General] charesa39:
You should try 439. All the benefits of 445 without the drawbacks. Or at least I haven't encountered any glitches, and I've been running it for about a month.
[Nexus 5 General] hihihehe:
how do you get that 7 icons at the dock?

i set to 380 but i only get 6 icons on the dock.
[Nexus 5 General] shadowdevil:
Agreed..:good:
[Nexus 5 General] Ubichinon:
Im currently using 439. Cant understand how people use 320 and dont get headaches and eye strain tho :)
[Nexus 5 General] xnickfx:
Could you post a screenshot of the visual glitch you are seeing and is this still happening?

I am not getting that for any LCD density changes I make. I am using a custom ROM that has a LCD Density section found in Settings > Interface > LCD Density.

I don't think my custom ROM is helping me to not have any glitches though because I remember changing the LCD Density on another ROM where it was not built into the settings and I had to directly change the LCD Density by editing the build.prop file which can be found in the root folder system and I never had any glitches then either.

Have you hopefully found a fix for this yet?
[Nexus 5 General] RomSeeker:
Can anyone explain to me the reason not to use maximum DPI?
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
The notifications in the pull down will be cut

off. I think it only happens in stock based ROMs. I've seen it in a lot of different dpi settings I've tried like 320, 340 & 350. I get around it with Expand All Notifications in Xposed

Lowering the dpi allows you to have more screen real estate.
[Nexus 5 General] skippywilcox:
I'm using Nova launcher which in the free one allows you to have up to seven
[Nexus 5 General] Decimation:
It's not a big deal. When I was using 400 the collapsed notification in the notification drawer were cut off a little at the bottom. Since I set my density to 405 I have no issues.
[Nexus 5 General] WitchL0v3r:
I am on 380.
[Nexus 5 General] RomSeeker:
I still don't understand 0.0.... What does it mean?
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
It makes everything in the screen smaller, therefore giving you more room to work with.
[Nexus 5 General] qpkg:
This works nicely for dock, thanks! Is there any way to change nav bar items spacing?
[Nexus 5 General] ldubs:
I'm set to 439 and see a weird issue...I've got 7 icons in my dock, stock launcher but upon every reboot, the rightmost one disappears and I have to add it back in. How to fix this?

[Nexus 5 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
the weirdest part is not the icon that disappears but having 7? @439?
[Nexus 5 General] ldubs:
no, I have 7 icons in the dock. As I said, every time I reboot, the rightmost icon disappears from the dock and I have to add it back in.

Anyone know why this might be happening and how to fix it?
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
Yeah it is odd, 7?

On my tablet, I've seen this but not on n5.

So kudos, I think only way to keep it far right folder\icon is to move it prior to reboot.

WR

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
The problem may be a conflict with settings. with 439 on stock launcher you must have 5 icons on dock, not 7. the framework somehow has a DPI vs # of icons scale and that's why it deletes the icon but the size is not changing.

You may try wiping data for 'google search' on settings/apps/all then, force stop Launcher. Also edit build.prop again to another value like 430 and reboot.
[Nexus 5 General] ldubs:
OK its 6 icons plus the app drawer. I'll try 430 and see if that helps.

[Nexus 5 General] Galinha1:
Is there a tweak were you can get more saturated colors ?
[Nexus 5 General] charesa39:
For what it's worth, this happens on my N7 (2013) as well. I just sideloaded the GEL, and everything works perfect. But everytime I reboot, that bottom right icon in the dock disappears, and I have to manually put it back. Trying to figure out why. I think it may be a bug in the GEL itself. Will post back if I find out. Hope you will do the same. :)
[Nexus 5 General] :

Happens to me too at 320. I just put it back after every reboot

Weird, same thing happens at 361dpi too. Looks great tho!

Just need to remember to change to back before any system updates.
[Nexus 5 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
Hi, there are. but you need to know that most tweaks require It developer's kernel to get

Sorry, not going to read through 21 pages. Either be a helpful member of this community or not.
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
Search and read before asking questions, especially simple ones. Basic forum etiquette.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Oh, I didn't realize internet etiquette was such a thing. If a new member asks a question (only been over to an Android device for a month or so), usually senior members help out.

Once again, I apologize. You've quoted me twice and responded back twice, which within that time you could have simply typed out the answer I was looking for.
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
I could have. But that would be enabling poor behavior. I don't normally have a problem helping people out, but when someone just jumps in a thread and asks "what's this for" without doing any reading at all, "read and search" was the appropriate response. It's the equivalent of going into a ROM thread and asking the same question
[Nexus 5 General] :
Oh well, must not be to important for me to try out anyways. Thank you.

[Nexus 5 General] rickyx32:
Seriously man? This is asinine considering how long you've been here...
[Nexus 5 General] :
10 seconds and then read. I'll pass when it doesn't seem important.

Actually, I've only been here since end of December. I bought a Note back in February and registered, played with the Note for a day and sold it since I didn't like it.
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
I'm sorry, 20 seconds. It's important enough that most on these boards know what it is and probably use it. With the amount of time you've spent responding here you could have educated yourself on it ten times over
[Nexus 5 General] :
I'm just riling you up for my amusement.
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
You somehow see this as me being riled up? You're kidding, right? I'm laughing at your stubbornness and ignorance, nothing more.

Maybe you should re-read the forum rules. Rule number 1 - search before posting. This is a basic rule on any forum. Ignoring it will usually get you flamed. I did nothing more than suggest you read and search. Now, in the interest of getting the thread back on track, and you either out of it out more self educated, I will stop responding to you
[Nexus 5 General] Galinha1:
Thank You very much, i was doing a little search over things that you can and cannot do with N5 (just bought it), i just switch phones so often that sometimes you get a little lost with all those changes 'we' like to do with our gadgets to suit us better and make to our own taste. Sounded a little more related asking in this topic then in a kernel topic. I am careful not to ask things before reading and searching around ,this time i was a little lazy. Thanks again Bro .

Does changing LCD density result in any playstore issues?

[Nexus 5 General] charesa39:
I haven't seen any issues with any of my apps that I use. Although, I suppose your experience may differ depending on which apps you use. There's also a module for Xposed Framework that always reports a standard DPI (customizable) to the Play Store so it tricks it into showing all apps available for your device no matter what DPI you use.
[Nexus 5 General] hotnikkelz:
I tihnk i prefer this option. I haven't dabbled with xposed framework before, guess i'll start now

What's the name of the module
[Nexus 5 General] charesa39:
Looking at the Downloads section in the Xposed app, I believe it's "All apps in Play Store." Do it. You won't regret using Xposed Framework. The only module I've ever needed is Gravity Box. It can tweak anything I need and more. Very satisfied with it.
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
I used the modified play store. The Xposed module stopped working for me. The modified play store always worked fine. I've since moved to Purity ROM and haven't had a problem with the play store after changing the dpi

[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
What about the cut off notifications?
[Nexus 5 General] rickyx32:
I was using 439 for a while now, but 405 is perfect for the 5 by 5 launcher grid. Neither of these gives you the cut off glitch.
[Nexus 5 General] MakisupaVT:
I haven't seen any issues with notifications at 320. Figured that its what the Nexus 7 2013 runs at, so apps shouldn't get that messed up on it. Proven right so far. Only had to use App Settings on my banking app to make it display correctly.
[Nexus 5 General] crzycrkr:
Those are both way too big for me. 340 is about the biggest I can go, but 320 is perfect

At 320, before the update, notifications were cut off. Maybe I'll try turning off the Xposed module that expands all the notifications and see what happens

That's what I read too. However, I read somebody's post saying it made their wallpaper scale weirdly on their N7 2013. I'm assuming this only pertains to the N7 2013 though. I know this is the N5 forum, but I assume there are some folks here that have a N7 as well.

Compared the Nexus 5 side by side to my (old) HTC One and 440 LCD Density is where they show the (almost exact) same screen real estate.

It's just my preference, but ever so slightly better than 445.

Personally wouldn't go lower, but curious that some enjoy 400.

If anyone interested on Franco Kernel color control, I have tweaked a profile that looks brilliant! Now convinced that this is a screen with better colour reproduction than the HTC One.
