Why can't you just change your launcher and swipe up to open Google now.

These complaints are seriously getting out of control. Android is about options. If you don't like the way something acts, use something else. If you don't like the keyboard, use another one!
[Nexus 5 General] torranceeric:
Yep. It's going backward in features. That was useful as hell. If you never used it, ok, but give me something to make things easier, I get used to it and dig it. Take it away and I'm annoyed. Why take it away? It reminds me of the "new" Google Maps. They took away a few features that I LOVED.

I'm tied into Google. I use a lot of their offerings. But I'm not going to blindly defend everything they throw out, I'm going to honestly say what I like and dislike.

This. FFS stop complaining. Before long people are gonna start saying you're apple fan boys posting to start drama.

Can I have your Nexus 5 then?
[Nexus 5 General] torranceeric:
Cool, suggest something for me, please. I don't like screwing with things too much, I like vanilla Android as Google intended. But I liked Jelly Bean Android. Kit Kat feels less intuitive. I know Android is all about the ability to be free and have different choices, but the reason I got rid of my HTC EVO was because I hate skins and crap on my Android. I just want it plain and yummy. If there's an alternative launcher that looks just like Jelly Bean, sweet, I'm all in. I just don't want it to give completely different functionality in other ways.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Nova Launcher
[Nexus 5 General] torranceeric:
I'm actually considering going back to my Nexus 4 and selling this. Obviously, I won't be jumping to Kit Kat when it's available on the N4.

But this is why I post - maybe there are fixes.

And guys, aren't these forums about helping? No, I don't use Apple products. Nothing against 'em, but I'm tied into Google and don't care to switch. I just loved most everything about my Nexus 4 and was hoping to love the 5 even more.
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
1) stock launcher always sucks. Just get Nova or Apex like everyone else. I didn't know people used the stock launcher.

2) See 1.

3) It's there on mine, not sure what you're talking about.

4) I haven't noticed this. Same as 3, I think you're missing something?

5) See 1. Also, the Nexus 4 4.3 app drawer was way too crowded.

6) This is the only complaint I can understand, but as you concede, it wasn't in the Nexus 4. I only use portrait mode, so I didn't notice this until you just said it. This can be fixed by a custom ROM, but that is starting to ask too much. I'll give you 6.

7) I haven't noticed this. If true, I'll also give you 7, but I just don't think it's true.
[Nexus 5 General] NfamousDroid:
Nova or apex. Probably others but I always use nova.
[Nexus 5 General] mrro82:
Then sell it and be done with it. No one cares.

[Nexus 5 General] elementaldragon:
As for #6 with the home screen rotation... i'm pretty sure that's a stock phone-wide thing. Don't even think most other phones from Samsung, HTC and the like have that by default, because it just seems odd to rotate the home screen on such a small device. But as it's been pointed out, not only can a launcher like Nova Launcher help with issues #1, #2, and #5, but i'm pretty sure home screen rotation is a setting in Nova Launcher as well.

But.... about the icons.... Yes, they're a bit big, but i think it's actually kind of neat. Why bring out a phone with an absolutely BEAUTIFUL screen, and have tiny icons on it? Bigger icons help show off that "Try to find a pixel.... i DARE you!" effect. lol
[Nexus 5 General] cipsaz:
I don't have much of a issue except for the #5, though... Yeah, the icons seem oversized and stretched. Hate that.

However, I have the issue with the actual device. It's all plastic and I hate plastic devices. The LCD display isn't as good as on the N4. The LCD screen feels like a plastic as well. I found my self many times just looking the N4. Looked beautiful on the sun. Can't say that about the N5.

Just looking at this review makes me want to go back already.

[Nexus 5 General] mgenova:
7) The notification sounds seem even quieter than the Nexus 4, which wasn't the loudest ever. I always turn vibrate on text OFF so when I'm texting back and forth, it's not unnecessarily wasting battery. But in doing so, I could most times hear my Nexus 4 chime when in my pocket. Not with the 5. I find myself pulling it out of my pocket every 15 mins to see if I missed any calls, emails or texts. I guess I'll have to turn on the notification vibration and sacrifice battery life, but that's lame.

If I'm overlooking anything which fixes any of these, please advise![/QUOTE]

As for number 7 why don't you use light flow to configure your notification LED so you don't have to use vibrate or turn your screen on. I work in a loud environment I can never hear my phone I use the led
[Nexus 5 General] torranceeric:
Thanks for the help. Why even post? As I said, I'm asking for help, maybe I overlooked things. A guy earlier helped with #3. You have no help, so obviously I'm not asking you. I need pro help, not amateurs.
[Nexus 5 General] torranceeric:
Cool idea, thanks. I can see why that would rock for you. I don't work in the same environment, so I was hoping that I would just hear notifications like I did in the past instead of actually having to take my phone out of my pocket every now and then to see if there is something I missed.

[Nexus 5 General] torranceeric:
Too many fanboys, they'll just pretend to love everything blindly. If anything ever swayed them to another side, they'd be the first ones saying this sucked or that sucked while they praised it before. I love my Nexus 4, but it had things I disliked. It just had a lot that I loved more than anything else. The 5 isn't doing the same for me. I came here to see if there were fixes. Some have offered helpful advice, while fanboys just sound the 8 year olds they probably are.

Thanks to those who helped.

kikate and not Nexus 5

Hello

I agree with some points because we were waiting for some more useful Google device ... Never had the 4 but my experience with the S and Gnex was wonderful!!!

What more enoying me on nexus 5 that by playing games if you tap twice you will got the screen zoomed and that's really very suck cose you lost some control. I searched how to lock that and having non-zooming screen by knocking twice on the screen by playing games or other but no success !! May be it does exist some solution???

What more : some app icons look not nice and net as others ( eBay icon for example) !!! Some of you remark it ???
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
I can see why people don't like.the fact that you can't have a home screen on the left side of your main screen, I had to get used to it but other than that the nexus 5 launcher is my favorite after the HTC One launcher.

Complaints? Speakers but fixed in a flashable zip....that's about it for me. Love this phone
[Nexus 5 General] teambestyrandy:
User preferences. I like the way kit Kat is setup but some users don't but that's what makes android better than iOS, customization. if you don't like the stock look there are tons of launchers and customization apps, keyboards etc. out there I.e. nova launcher apex and such. You can basically setup your nexus 5 to look like your nexus 4 setup.
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
I just have two disappointments.

A Few days before KitKat launch there was AMA on reddit, where someone already had Nexus 5 and he said that Google would provide backup solution. I know there are tons of solutions including adb backup, but it's not official. They sometimes don't work for me, like Helium last time. I wish I could just connect my device and in one click restore all settings including apps, data, accounts, settings. That's why I don't like switching roms.

Second is how Google integrated Hangouts with SMS. Soultion like iMessage would be better in my opinion.

Same here - IIWPO doesn't work

Same here - IIWPO doesn't work (on my jasjar I mean). However, I was unable to re-lock the Extended ROM - can this be the reason? Does it need to be locked?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chetccox:
Universal and IIwpo

I have succeeded in getting iiwpo to run on the Qtek 9000 with the new o2 rom update. First I tried it by just installing it in the my documents folder and it works. I then tried to put it in rom with no success. After a hard reset it simply would not install. The reason is because it is unsigned and never loads. The solution is simple. First of course you have to unlock and unhide the extended rom, and then follow the instructions for installing the iiwpo cab file you have created. After that, you need to install the program available in this forum to bypass the security check (default_disablesecurity.cab). Put this in the extended rom as well. Then modify the config.txt file. Mine looks as follows:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_PortalKey.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_UAProf.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_VoiceMail.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_o2UK_Customize.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_UNI_Disable_ErrorDump-Obex.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_Version.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\CAB-Customization-O2UK-Universal.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_MoveO2Tone.sa.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\CAB-Shortcut-O2UK-22Aug05.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\VT_DisableOK_O2_0830_signed.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build88.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MS5.CAB

I named the iiwpo file ms5.cab instead of iiwpo.cab for a little extra security, since you can see iiwpo loading after a hard reset. It now works as advertised. You should of course do a hard reset to relock and rehide the extended rom. I used the beta of sprite backup to back up my qtek, and so after the hard reset and a re-install of sprite it is easy to restore your unit. The original instructions did not take into account the security check in wm5, as the program was not written initially for our universals.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chetccox:
Back to the drawing board, but I don't think it is a serious problem. I found out that a hard restore writes the programs iiwpo_startup.exe to the windows folder and to the startup folder as it should, but the registry values are never written into the registry. I had been playing around so much with this iiwpo that I forgot that I had restored a registry and thus had the values already in it. A hard restore does not touch the registry as it should. I believe there is a simple solution to this but my knowledge of how the values get written to the registry is not sufficient to immediately solve the problem. Hopefully one of the gurus will read this thread and help out. The values are entered into the registry if you run the iiwpo.cab file from a location other than the extended rom. Perhaps the location in the config.txt file is important. I will continue to work on this and post any further progress.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] chetccox:
Solved. Put the items in the config.txt folder

It seems that the security defeat has to go at the top. Perhaps there is some timing delay problem. It now works, and you can put your own phone number in for testing. It will send you an sms.

I still don;t seem to be able to get my xda exec to get the IIWPO program to work. I have followed the instructions found here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=IIWPO

I have customised the file

I have unlocked my extended rom (though I appear to have directories extended rom and extended rom2

I have adjusted my config.txt file (in both extended rom directories to be sure)

I have installed and activated IIWPO

I have added the disable security cab file, and installed that.

I still don't have any joy with the IIWPO application, and I don't know how to lock the extended rom. I have only being performing soft resets to test the IIWPO out, but using the hole and PHM Tools reset

Hello there people

I've been searching for hours on end with no joy so far.

I'm trying to install IIWPO in my unlocked extended rom. I have an XDA Exec that's been flashed with the Imate JasJar 1.30.76

I've taken the steps as per the wiki exactly, that is: got the anonymous file, opened it using the recommended WinCE CAB Manager, changed the platformxxx.reg file to contain my details, stuck it back in the cab.

I then try to just launch the cab file on my universal and it fails. First it asks me where I want to install it, I leave it in the deafult directory, it attempts to install then it says:

"eDsuBsofT IIWPO by XDA-Developers" cannot be installed.

To try installing again to a different location, choose a location:"

It offers me a chance to set another directory and at this stage it fails immediately.

The only difference between the original anonymous template cab, and my cab is the platformxxx.reg file, which I've followed as per the wiki! (I've tried with and without checking the hard-coded box for the \Windows directory entry for that file.

so I've come for help... I've really tried every thing under the sun now. many thanks in advance for any attention!

i've had the exact same problem which i sat hours to figure out.

my problem was the winCe cab manager, i had a damaged version, and without knowing it created damaged installations.

get the newest version from their site (google it if you can't find it), reinstall and try again.

(don't apply any cracks on the app, tho. that may also be the reason)

No idea, but I will look into it for sure. I don't ever like to badmouth XDA, this site and its users and devs have been good to me over the years, but this new app is so buggy it makes me want to throw my phone! Try to add more than one pic to a mobile post and it only adds the last one, but allows the upload beforehand, making you think everything is on the up and up. So, if you make a post trying to show multiple pics and they don't post, you will look pretty foolish trying to explain something. Try to add pics at all sometimes and I get a 'you don't have permission to do this blahblah' nonsense. The app force closes or won't update if you don't back all the way out of it after each use. I could go on, but you get the idea. I can't possibly be the only one, and the new UI alone made me rate it 5 stars on Market, but damn! Can we get a patch puh-leeze! Ok, rant over.
