I have the dynamic notification app and it doesn't take as much battery for me, maybe 10% or so. 2hr screen time and 15h 27m on battery. I check twitter and use hangouts/fb messenger alot and I was listening to music for about 3-4 hours straight.

+1 for Dash Clock.
[Nexus 5 General] davwman:
Problem is, you came from a one s. That phone was garbage and no matter what ROM you flashed, the phone was still garbage. I had it and am not biased towards the nexus line in any way. Its a good thing you now own a nexus. The ROM scene is much larger as well as the nexus kernel scene, plus this thing is far from garbage. As far as staying stock, that's your choice, but, I can guarantee you that you will find a ROM dev if you decide to flash and most likely stick with that dev and his/her ROM series. Main reason, the nexus 5 is not garbage nor was the nexus 4. I'm not going to go into battery life, or any other spec/aspect of the nexus 5, but trust me its the best nexus device to date, and the ROMs will only improve upon that statement.

Wow Gravity Screen is awesome!
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
i used to do that kind of thing with tasker. but it's a pain to set it up.. on samsung phones the speaker is on the back, so i had a tasker program to switch to speakerphone if i laid the phone face down during a call. and used the camera flash led as a really obnoxiously bright notification light.

Stay stock on developer phone? o.O
[Nexus 5 General] garyHal:
I definitely wanted a Moto X until the N5 came around, as a result I do want to emulate a couple features as I can from the Moto X.

DynamicNotifications is kinda buggy for me but GravityScreen works really well. What I need next is full speech navigation for the N5.
[Nexus 5 General] cannondale0815:
I had a One S as well. Its amoled screen was much better than the crappy screen on my new Nexus 5. I really miss the deep blacks. Bothers me immensely.
[Nexus 5 General] glaudrem:
I also had a HTC One S, S4 version, and I disagree with you totally. For me, it performed even better than HTC One X which was suposed to be flagship. The colors were awesome, only thing I don't miss is the Pentile matrix where you can see pixels even in fullHD devices as SGS4. Camera was totally awesome, when I moved to SGS3 I missed it, but even more when I moved to N4 which has crappy camera. N5 camera has way to go in order to match your "garbage" camera. Build construction was awesome, I had not any kind of scratches but I know people had. For a device released nearly 2 years ago, HOS was for me best mobile you could buy.

I'm very happy with my n5 (in HOS I tried to get AOSP and, even being good, was not that good), but anyway still think of my HOS (now my mom has it) as a very durable and capable phone.
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
You're just used to amoled. I understand. I was once too. Give it a little time and maybe you'll "see the light" and the way a smartphone screen should look.

If you look at the quality reviews around the internet on the N5, its screen is flat out awesome.

Although it's up to you in the end. If it doesn't look good to your eyes and you're unhappy with it you could always return it.
[Nexus 5 General] knucklesmckay:
Great thread. Thanks. Didn't know about Dynamic Notifications. Using them now, hopefully it doest kill the battery. I have been getting great battery so far on my N5.
[Nexus 5 General] ecdy:
One S

Have to put in a good word for the One S. Mine was rooted with AOKP 4.1.1 ROM and did everything I wanted--except for LTE. So I got an N5. sure the N5 is faster but the One S was a more convenient size and seemed more robustly bult. And KitKat on the N5 has a lot of--let's admit it--Google bloatware that has to be stripped off. Google is actually becoming more like Apple (do it my way!) and the carriers (Take this crapware or else!)
[Nexus 5 General] cannondale0815:
Well, I like dark backgrounds. And it just looks cheap on the N5. Reminds me of an old rear projection TV where blacks weren't really blacks.

This is my set up, and believe me, it looked a lot better on my HOS. But I suppose I digress.
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
Totally understand. Looks nice
[Nexus 5 General] garyHal:
Does DynamicNotifications conflict with Screen Gravity? Seems like they have some overlapping features.
[Nexus 5 General] piperx:
+1 on ES File Explorer;)
[Nexus 5 General] davwman:
So the one s screen looked better? :sly: whatever you say. And the one s was crap, With crap Sense bloat, crap reception, constant loss of cell service, dropped calls, non existent data service. Amoled is crap, and provides nothing but over exaggerated color. I had the one s, in fact 2 to be exact, and they both had the exact same issues. The one s was a low to mid end phone. Never mind htc's mind numbing s on annoyance, and HTC dev unlock. :banghead: the last HTC device I will ever buy.
[Nexus 5 General] rgbedin:
Great apps! DynamicNotifications is good, but it doesn't replace the lock screen properly. I've even bought the premium features because it was supposed to have a feature that replaces the original lock screen, but it does not work. I mean, it's buggy. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] jimlad:
Light flow is handy, you can set your led to flash different colours for different notifications, seems to be battery friendly.
[Nexus 5 General] gautham_y:
First off, +1 to ES File Explorer.

My suggestion: Superbeam.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majedev.superbeam

It's basically S-Beam for all phones, it transfers files (through the Share menu) using WiFi Direct, and if that's not possible, creates hotspot on one phone and connects the receiving phone to the hotspot, all automatically. Works with NFC, failing which uses QR Codes to initiate transfer. The disadvantage, both parties need the app installed to share files. I still feel it's an awesome app. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] yomuppet:
Gravity screen eats battery about twice as fast as without, and I had the battery friendly stuff enabled, FYI
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
I'm still stock. Got it on 4th of Nov. So what? And believe you me, i have flashed and done more, a lot more with modding before. N5 is finally good enough for me on stock. Still no temptation to root. Bootloader is unlocked though just in case I decide to try stuff, so i don't lose my data.
[Nexus 5 General] psychoace:
I just got my phone today. I will probably flash a kernel tomorrow but will probably wait on ROM flashing until I get tired of stock. So probably a week
[Nexus 5 General] lordroy:
Loved the idea of DynamicNotification and Gravity Screen but I could not get either to work for me. Using unlocked stock N5.
[Nexus 5 General] athani:
Is it possible to have any sort of ad-blocking without root?
[Nexus 5 General] skttrbrain:
Yep: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install

It runs in the background constantly though, hence root + AdAway is the way to go.

P.S. anyone using DynamicNotifications, make sure you set the screen time out to something reasonable. I woke up one morning with the default settings and discovered it'd been on most of the night, which obviously led to a LOT of battery drain.
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
I normally use a screen timeout of 2 minutes, and then Light Flow kicks in with the colours when the screen goes off!
[Nexus 5 General] uao:
Surely i will unlock BL and root it! in the next days. custom roms instead will make it next year to my device.

for the first time i dont feel like the need to install a custom because the stock is so good! anyway 18 months from now and custom roms will be the only way to update this wonderful baby! so also this nexus5 will enjoy the xda comunity work.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Is it safe to download and install adblock this way? Does it spy on ones phone? It doesn't look like it has suspicious permissions, just wanted to double check though. and does it kill battery.

[Nexus 5 General] caribouxda:
Im looking so forward to PA to customize the colors of each app because stock look is so damn boring! Add to that the fact that the devs we have so far do not like to add theme engine to the roms because it adds bloat. I wonder if they noticed this phone has a cpu faster than my desktop...

Does anyone know how to replace the charging port I want to do it myself but I'm not sure how to remove the port since it has the surface mount solder. If there are any step by steps please let me know and I thank you all in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messerschmitt262:
Ok, so after I flashed my ROM to PA, and deleted all my data, it seems gmail decided to DELETE my contacts instead of uploading them back on my phone.

What's wrong with gmail? What's the point of syncing. Anyway, I have 0 contacts, and I went to my gmail that I used to sync my phone. I tried to retrieve contacts as I understood you can within 30 days. But no matter the time period I select, no contacts are restored. I flashed my phone on the 19th, yesterday, so they should be there.

Any way to retrieve them back?

I also happen to have a full backup w/ custom recovery made with nexus root toolkit. But I cannot seem to restore it (tried to restore it initially for my apps).

Clicking "Restore Nandroid Backup" does nothing, and trying to restore data/media does nothing after it takes 10-20 minutes doing it's thing.

Still, maybe I am missing something, isn't the whole point of google gmail is to keep your contacts synced and restore them if something happens with your device?

Hoping someone can help me out. I would like to contact google tech support but can't seem to find an email or number for support. Most likely they should still have them in their databases if at least its within 30 days.

Thank you

Hey everyone, I was checking out some apps today and stumbled across this: Boot Animation app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations

And there are some sick looking animations. Has anyone ever tried this for this phone? Was it successful or did it jack it up?

It works great as long as your kernel supports it.

Any AOSP ROM will likely work fine.

Stock TouchWiz ROM will NOT support it, nor will Google Edition. At least not with stock kernel.

Even rooted, those kernels require QMG boot animations. Which this app you linked to does not support.

I'm a light user and abuser of my Glacier and just hurtled another simple personal victory. So 2 nights ago my data for 4g stopped working completely, with out any reason or me tinkering with any settings. Last 2 days it's driving me nuts, a couple calls to customer service back and forth about towers, and technicians doing magical work behind the scenes the next 2 days. Yea right...

While looking up how to return my devices to S-on / stock boot loader I start thinking this is BS, leading to the thought of looking up other radios.I have yet do do this as normally my service has been fine, but I surely don't want to send MYglacier (you thought I was going to type touch) to another fool to mess with.

This afternoon I installed::: Radio - 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19 ::: http://d-h.st/S9t ::: MD5 Sum: 220528cbb349dc2f267b54ca3685c9d2

Fast, quick connection, non-stop. I'm excited. Adb fastboot install took like 1 minutes to install and this entire evening my devices has been money. I am in the North East of the US and will add to this thread how the services is when I return home further North. Anyone who has the stock old radio, drop it, this radio is excellent so far in this region.

I will stress the fact that I read through 20 pages of threads from 2 years ago, just to make sure I understood the background behind what I was doing and why. That is why we, well why we should be here, to learn and to share our learning to make these devices live up to their potential.

I searched high and low (I thought?) both here and via Google searches but couldn't find anything specific for this firmware version. I am a bit of a noob to this rooting thing, though, so maybe that's it... I tried using this guide here but it didn't work. I'd click restore but the phone would never reboot. It would just briefly say "restore started" then "restore ended" and that would be it. Is there a guide anywhere specific to this firmware? I know it's fairly new-ish.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] bstaletic:
What worked for me

What is required:

-Phone drivers

-Fastboot (You'll find it in fastboot drivers directorium) and adb

-Fastboot drivers

-Recovery.img (I'd recommend cwm touch, because on my phone twrp has issueswith restoring backups)

-Zip that will root your phone (copyed to external SD card)

Instructions:

1. Install mobile phone drivers

2. Install fastboot drivers

3. Extract ADB

4. In terminal type adb devices to check if your phone is recognised as adb device

5. Type adb oem-unlock (terminal)

==================

Phone reboots to bootloader

==================

6. Read whats on screen

7. If you want to unlock bootloader push vol+

=================

If everything worked as it was supposed, phone will be recognised as fastboot device

=================

8. Type fastboot devices to check if phone is recognised propperly

9. Type fastboot flash (boot) recovery "path_to_your_recovery.img" (flash if you want to change your recovery with cwm/twrp, and boot if you just want to use custom recovery this time)

9.1. Turn off your phone and boot to recovery by holding vol+ home and power, when phone vibrates release just the power button, when you see logo of cwm/twrp release everything*

10. Flash the .zip

11. Reboot phone

*Skip this step if you used boot instead of flash

[QUESTION][GalaxyS2] Questions/Help with internal memory, customized ROM, "true" fact

(1) I need to completely wipe, remove, restore my phone to absolute stock. I am having some weird issues and want a "clean slate" to work off of. I currently have AJK (with custom initd and extweeks), cwm recovery, and cyanogen installed. I want all of it removed and want to start from scratch. What's the best way to accomplish this?

(2) upon completing Q1; I have a very small internal phone memory, somewhere around 1/2gb but I have a 32gb SDcard -- is it possible to format my SDcard to allow it to be used as "phone memory" so I can have more apps installed? I know there is the "move to SD" options, but this is not what I am looking for since this does not work for widget apps. Also I have a difficult time downloading apps without getting the "insufficient space" error via the play store during app installs.

I am so tired of having to uninstall apps just to install or test new ones. There has got to be a way to use my SDcard as phone memory

I have:

- 100mb out of 1.97gb on Internal Storage (/system)

- 7.82gb out of 11.36gb on Internal Storage (/sdcard0)

- 14.84gb out of 29.32 on SD Card (/sdcard1)

So even if I could combine /system and /sdcard0 to become /system and only have 1 sdcard partition would suffice

(3) is it possible to customize/package CyanogenMod to install NovaLauncher (remove/replacing Trebuch) and SwiftKeyboard (instead of AOSP keyboard), amongst other apps (I have the .apk files) so they are installed by default? Also removing apps like Apollo and DSPmanager.

(4) what are some custom scripts, init.d, extweeks, etc you guys are using that I should look into using to get the best performance, battery life, speeds out of the GS2?
