[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] turbomzi:
I actually got it back. I gave myself a clue on here, apparently, the phone when factory resetting encrypted the device and I went through fast because the device would restart if I didn't so couldn't read all pop-ups. I went ahead and encrypted which is why TWRP and CWRM didn't work, tried many methods to remove the encryption and just wipe everything off. Nothing worked, the data couldn't even mount to be wiped therefore no ROM would successfully install. So I reinstalled recovery of GE build that I used for factory reset, went into that recovery and wiped cach and data completely and this time it worked (no other version worked before). After that it was easy to TWRP or any other custom recovery to get the stock ROM on the phone and now it's all back. Now I am back to completely stock with tampered flag and unlocek bootloader. Eventually, I will do a proper conversion to GE because I am starting to dislike the SENSE (which I knew I would) because of all the stuff I don't use and worse battery management and mobile data unnecessarily updating things I don't use. This was such a experience, as much as I wanted to keep the Nexus 5, had to return it.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

Is there any way I can get rid of tempered flag, I know I ran across something well hidden, ant link would be helpful, thanks.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] MrWhat:
what is meant with "GE build"? I am stuck in the same situation you have been, but have no clue what you did to get it back to life. THanks for a hint.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] turbomzi:
I meant version by build. You can find an RUU for the version you were on (4.2.2 or 4.3 or 4.4) and take out the recovery.img and in fastboot, flash recovery with that image and go in recovery and wipe data. I hope this helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albert_htc:
Just received my Nexus 5 and am quiet disappointed with it.

The sound is OK, not as loud as my S3 but OK

The screen is very nice, but quiet a lot of display is used by the 'buttons'

Comparing side by side to the S3, the S3 seems to display more page.

Anyone have any comments or thoughts on this ?

Any way to get access to more of the screen without rooting it ?

Thanks

Its a nexus device, did you realize that nexus devices do not have hardware buttons before you bought it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Not much you can do without root.

But if you do decide to root (use the guide in my signature) you can use pie controls or install a custom ROM/xposed module which will allow you to change the size of the navbar.

PROS:

It's a decent price

It gets updates quick

It's fast

Camera takes decent pics in as long as nothing is moving

Design is good

CONS:

The cameras slow focus makes it next to impossible to take pictures of my new puppy.

The sound seems fine to me for speaker calling, for music not so much but who listens to music like that. I picked up a bluetooth speaker and use that anytime I want to listen to music sounds 10 times better than the speakers on any phone.

The screen size is good, the Galaxys are too big IMO feels like I'm using a mini tablet. I have the white version I don't care for the shiny edges but when my Nexus case comes I won't see them anyways.

My only other gripe other than the camera is I can't get an otterbox for it that's not the phones fault though.

Overall I'm happy with it for the price.

Why? Did you not do any homework at all prior to purchasing this phone? Are you not familiar with Nexus devices at all?

I'm so tired of these people who drop a few hundred bucks and don't even know what they're buying. It's not like the navbar is some kind of huge secret that people are discovering for the first time. It's a fundamental part of the Nexus experience, and there are plenty of other phones you could have purchased that don't have it. Complaining about the navbar on a Nexus phone is like jumping into a pool and then complaining that it made you wet.

But you have a choice to return it also.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Well, there's no need to flame hard, but with all the people complaining about the N5's drawbacks...seriously? On-screen buttons? Remember what forum this is; literally all the ROMs have features to use full Immersive Mode, enable PIE, or decrease button size. Go and have a flashing day.

It's no big deal if you can use PIE or hide it or make it smaller; it's definitely something I can live with. I can't live with the ****ty perf of the S4 or the big big big bezels on the HTC One though. Worth it if you ask me...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
The navbar is not a "problem." It's an intentional feature of the device. There are mods you can flash to remove it, but they're not "solving" a problem - they're modifying or removing a feature that was intentionally included in the stock phone.

Once again, this is a standard Nexus feature that has been included in every Nexus phone and tablet that has been released since the Galaxy Nexus. This is not new, and it's not a "problem." The only problem is that there are apparently a bunch of people out there who refuse to educate themselves before plunking down hundreds of dollars on a gadget that is clearly not for them.

Sad but true. We spend $350+ on these phones we expect them to be flawless but sadly that's not the case. But what can we do we might as well unlock it's true potential and tweak them the way we want that's the reason why we chose android over iphone or for me that is (:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
I know where you're coming from. See, for most people, stock Android UI simply doesn't exist - what they've seen is TouchWiz or such. I gather that you are one of them. With that established, I can also surmise that you don't have a great problem with TW. I can see why you are disappointed in Nexus 5. S3 is a flagship device and being so, it has top-quality components and lots of flashy tricks. NExus 5 by comparison is understated, and its speakers and camera leave a lot to be desired.

I understand that you have no use for (1) stock Android, (2) understatement, and (3) prompt updates. Still, to ease up your buyer's remorse, let me offer these points:

1) Nexus 5 camera isn't great. Then again, phone cameras are just that: phone cameras. It shouldn't be a deciding factor in buying any phone

2) Pure Android interface is designed to get the job done without distractions. Over time you will grow to appreciate it tremendously, inluding the nav bar (soft keys)

3) WIth KitKat, there is an option for any app to make the nav bar go away. For example, MX player does that. As more apps will be updated to take advantage of this, you will see less and less of it.

4) Even if its there and nagging you, consider this: isn't using the nav bar INFINITELY better than using Samsung's stupid three-key setup? The home key takes a long press, and the capacitive keys have a mind of their own. Also they are not all that conevient to use at the very bottom of a top-heavy slab.

5) Using the Nexus 5, you will notice how flawlessly fast and smooth it is. See how good it feels in the hand and how your finger can reach most of the screen all the time (thanks to absence of hardware keys and those thin bezels)

So use it for a few days. If still you feel the same feel free to sell it!

Hi

Thanks for all the replies and sorry if I've caused any offence !

My S3 was rooted and for a long time running LiquidSmooth to get that clean Android feel.. Happy with it but it did have slow down issues and after a while started randomly rebooting..

I flashed a new rom on the S3, SlimBean, again this worked great and then started with random reboots etc... So I went back to stock and it's been stable ever since.. I'm more than happy to be getting away from Touch Wiz

My disappointment is more to the screen size.. the volume I can live with - I've increased the DB of the MP3 files and they sound better.

I was expecting all the google apps to use immersive mode, including Chrome.. but it looks like it's not there as yet.

I was hoping to force full screen for the apps, but don't want to root a phone that I've had for less than 24hrs.

I've no plans to send it back, and will keep using it.

Thanks :)

Hi everyone.

I don't know if its even possible but need to create the SIM CARRIER LOCK again.

When i unlock the bootloader i "erase" the sim carrier lock (guess happen to everyone) and that is awesome but know i need my phone to be carrier lock again.

Don't need that to be forever, i like it unlocked :) . If that is a way to fake it it's ok but need to be hidden and need to persist after reboot.

I know it's strange but i really need it... I already flash my nandroid backup from the stock rom, flash a stock recovery and lock the bootloader, still unlocked!

Anyone knows how to do it?

Thanks!

Well there is a way but idk if its works use J-Tag or Riff-Box it will make your phone fully as it was came in the box.

I converted my ATT HTC ONE to Google edition with updates. I don't take a lot of pictures but the quality of the GE rom camera seems great to me. Sense was great also but I don't see a big difference. If I remember correctly the comparisons of the two came down to sense being better in low light conditions. I haven't taken any low light with GE but normal indoor lighting and day time outside the GE editions camera gave me great shots.

I don't miss burst mode either - i did use it on sense when I had it and would use it if/when it's part of stock android.

GE edition panorama mode seems easier to use than sense's - my opinion of course...

Hello again all, since this is my first time owning a Nexus device, I was wondering if it was possible to have another version of android on it? i.e. Sense, touchwiz, Optimus OS, etc. Not that I have a problem with AOSP, I was just curious cause too much AOSP gets boring eventually. I'm not talking about themes either, like actual OS.

While on the subject of this, completely seperate question, will Ubuntu OS ever be available for the N5? I never tried it but it looks really cool.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Its possible to get these oem skinned roms but it needs to be ported by people who have the skill/time/patience to do so.
