I never said it's a ROM issue... But there is an easy way to change the mode.
[T-Mobile LG G3] pside15:
Well, apparently I'm lucky then. I've used 3-4 different ROMs since Chrome started doing the floating window thing and it's always had the the up/down arrows and x at the top right. I just assumed it was how Chrome does it since it was always like that for me.

Everyone is blaming Google because they developed the app to open that way by default.
[T-Mobile LG G3] LeoRex:
There is nothing wrong to blame though. Takes a second to change.. and if you didn't know to click on the recents item, a quick search would give the info necessary. But on several threads here, on G+, I see people posting complaints and warning others not to take the new version because it is broken.

Is it annoying? Not really.. its easy to fix. To be honest, I'd prefer Chrome launch in a floating window if called via a clicking link... and stick to being a full window when opened directly (which is almost what it does). Having the floating window that doesn't disrupt the background window is a cool feature.
[T-Mobile LG G3] luc.highwalker:
Guessing it's safe to assume that the camera doesn't work?

And I'm sorry if this isn't the thread for questions, I'm on the phone app, and did not see mention of a QA thread.

Thanks

Teach a person to use Google, and teach them for a life time.

Oops looks like I gave you a free like. Anyways, the camera function has been working for a while now on all the aosp based custom ROMs.
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Yeah that's true. When it happened to me the first time I thought what the heck. At the same time it was kinda cool given that I do use halo windows anyway.

Kind of just caught everyone off guard I suppose.
[T-Mobile LG G3] LeoRex:
They could have added a tool tip... But it's still useful. I've been paying around with Link Bubble for this kind of functionality, might not need it where it's supported.

Speaking of Link Bubble, have you tried the Javelin browser? It has that type of feature built in. Pretty nice.

In my bid to find a ROM for daily use I've hit a snag with the Play Store not working. Three ROMs and same issue. Only happening today. Hopefully it's a temporary server-side issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dollarside:
***PLEASE CHECK OUT UPDATE METHOD AT THE END!***

For those of you who cannot get Google now to work because you live in “Other countries", here's a fix that works for the Nexus 5 running the official Android 5.0 Lollipop released yesterday (Thursday 13th).

Here are the possible problems you ran into:

1. In Google Search's setting, you are unable to "flick on" Google Now with text "Google Now requires location services which are not available."

2. You signed out of the Google account, cleared Google Search app, uninstalled updates from Google Play Services, and signed in again. But after you click "Yes, I'm in" in you get a simple message saying "This account is not eligible for Google Now"

Be sure that your device's language is in English (United States)

Fix:

1. Download and install Market Unlocker (I am apparently a new member and not allowed to post links)

2. If your country blocks Google Play (eg. China), download SpeedVPN

3. If you are logged into Google: Settings-->Accounts-->Google-->*Click on your email*-->Three button on top right-->Remove Account

4. Go into Settings-->Apps -->Clear data for both Google Play Services and Google Search

5. Now open Market Unlocker --> Enable Unlocker (Default should be Verizon United States, if not, swipe right and choose that)

6. Turn of the phone.

7. Important: remove SIM card

8. Turn on the phone, connect to wifi, and open SpeedVPN -->Choose "United States"

9. Long press on homescreen -->Settings--> turn on Google Now

10. Log in and you should get your Google Now working.

11. Put back your SIM card

Hope it helps guys. Let me know if you run into any problems during this process.

UPDATE!

HERE'S A NEW METHOD THAT WORKS FOR LOLLIPOP ON NEXUS 5 as of February 1st 2015

This method has also been tested on Nexus 4 running Lollipop 5.0 as well. Here are the steps

1. Make sure you are rooted and have a working VPN

2. Download and install "location report enabler"

3. Run it and grant root access

4. Restart phone, turn on airplane mode with Wi-Fi on

5. Set VPN to country like America or England

6. Clear data for Google Launcher, Play services, Play store

7. Settings--> Location--> Google ----> enable location

8. Sign out of Google account

9. Back to home screen, use Google search to "remind me to buy milk"

10. Go through sign in steps

11. Back to home screen and swipe left. Voila!

Again if you have any questions please comment!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unixcuboid:
When it says account not eligible and goes back to google search just make it remind something (eg - remind me to sleep in 10 minutes) before doing anything else and it should automatically enable google now and take you to google now. Worked for me and hope this helps yall :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knox420:
Interestingly I didn't even get to try it out.

Google Now worked after following the steps mentioned by dollarside. However, it was probably the 5th I've tried.

Might be related to Market Unlocker that didn't seem to work at first. I used the guide from here (including proxy settings) and downloaded the latest version (3.5.1). After rebooting I made sure that the app actually said Market successfully changed (I had failed before after the reboot).

Another reason could be that I used Astrill VPN before (with different US servers). The last and successful attempt was with SpeedVPN.

In the end I cannot say what helped. Being persistent turned out to be successful. This time.

Yay the new update (Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm) works with the old trick I used. :D

The old trick if anyone needs it (Needs root) -

Install Titanium Backup. Install a File Manager and a Launcher. I used ES File Explorer and Nova Launcher.

Find and download com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-2.6.7.721924.arm version of Google Search and copy it to your phone. (Won't post the link because it's not allowed. You can find it in Androidfilehost)

Open Titanium Backup and tap on "Backup/restore". Scroll down to Google Search and tap on it. Do a backup by tapping "Backup!!" (Just in case) Then tap on "Un-Install!" (Make sure you have a different launcher installed before doing this!!")

Restart your phone.

Open the file manager, navigate to the folder where you copied the Google Search 2.6.7.721924 apk and install it. Open it and it will ask to Opt in to Google Now. Tap on "Yes I'm in".

Download and install the latest update from APKMirror Google App 4.1.24.1672412.arm.

And you are done! :D Feel free to remove the other launcher and file manager.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkroshana:
I found a method worked for many devices

(You have to reset your device to factory default settings)

Step- by- step

1. Download SpeedVPN APK file

2. Download Google App APK file

3. Copy those to files to your SD card

4. Reset your device to factory defaults

(Remove SIM cards before resetting. When setting up your phone do not connect to WiFi and your Google account)

5. Then install the Speed VPN (Apps copied to SD card) you downloaded

6. Connect your WiFi network

7. As soon as you connected to it open SpeedVPN > Auto Select > United States > Connect ( wait a moment )

8. Install Google App downloaded

9. Open it > Go to settings > Accounts and privacy > Google Account and Sign in to a new google account

10. Enable Google now

11. If doesn't work try to log in again about 3 times

12. Then it will work.

13. And you can connect to your own account

2. Sign out from the google account, settings ---> accounts -----> Google ----> tap your email ----> more ---> remove account now.

3. set up a VPN ( I used tunnelbear ) and connect to US or UK.

4. tap the mic on google's search bar and you will be required to sign in

5. sign in with your account and you should have Google now working for you ;) even after disconnecting VPN.

Unless I was in a hurry and *needed* the extra 15% a 'quick' charger would give me.

Samsung tablet chargers are interesting. They will actually increase voltage slightly as current draw increases to compensate for cable losses.

End result is Samsung tablet chargers often charge faster than others, sometimes significantly faster.

My Phone Info shows the same info as yours.

View attachment 3014948

If you did a Wipe for ROM from CWM that should do it.

As to how to flash twice:

Flash the first time, make sure that the ODIN check box for reboot is off. When flash is complete, remove the battery by pulling it, don't press any buttons. Then, wait minute or two, and replace the battery. Go directly to Download Mode and flash a 2nd time. Then, you can let the phone boot into the system.

At that point, before you flash anything else - try the Voicemail.

One, more thing where did you download your 4.4.4 firmware? These are the two that should work:
