Few questions about N4

Hi folx.
I got this phone today.
So i have few questions about it. All questions consider rooting phone, but not putting custom rom
1. Is Light Manager working on this phone or we are doomed to use Light flow?
2. Can i put some shortcuts to unlocking circle?
3. How can i remove google search bar on stock launcher?
4. Can i add some more shortucts to switches menu in notification bar?
5. Can i change color on softbuttons?
If i remember something more, i will write it here
Thanks i advance

Hi,
1) Light Manager works perfectly, I use it.
2) Custom rom.
3) Not possible if I remember right, need to use an alternative launcher like Nova / Apex or a moded stock launcher.
4) Custom rom or maybe with an existing mod (I doubt)?
5) Custom rom or take a look here but here the colors are limited.
Mainly what you are asking is in almost all the custom roms...

Thanks a lot for response!
Tell me, is it possible to add wather widget on lockscreen as widget?
Thanks in advance

Check out dash clock widget. If that's not what you're looking for and want full size widgets then try a custom ROM.

Many custom ROMs have a feature that allows you to put any widget on the lockscreen.
It looks like you need to start flashing!

Ahhh.. I wanted to use stock for few weeks.. Ive heard that there is one kernel that is working best with stock rom and makes battery life much more better.
P.s. can i recieve ota if i am rooted?
P.p.s. does build number affect ota updates (like on galaxy nexus)?

Enable Navigation bar/Disable capacitive buttons and lights

This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen
buttons) , its very simple and easy...
Warring: if you mess something dont blame me.
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
To turn off capacitive buttons:
Go to system/use/key layout/ synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Long press it and click open with text editor
Delete everything there
Reboot.
To turn of capacitive button lights:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.kblight
Or
This will mess your screen brightness and it will stay on 100% all the time. You have to use screen filter app from play store or some other app to control the brightness of your screen.
Go to system/lib/hw
There find lights.msm8960.so
Rename it to (whatever you want)
Reboot.

To turn off the lights you can just edit framework-res.apk.

This is only applicable to AOSP/CM ROMs this won't work on sense based ROMs.

Here you go, if your rooted, extract this and put it in etc/init.d to turn off your lights on boot.
Or, just execute it with root explorer.

This doesn't work. I did exactly the way you described and still no go. Is this of cm based or sense?

Does work, been using it. On sense. If you are using a custom kernel with bln then that could be why. Make sure you set permissions though!

I have to dig out this old post.
Unfortunately i cant get the navigation bar to work?!?
Or can it only be done on CM Roms?
Im on Google Play Edition 4.3, did the total conversion as i want to stay on Stock GPE.

*Bump* this is of interest to me
I only managed to get a nav bar by using PA, fiddling with build.prop never gave me a nav bar GPE or anything else.

I think I read on the s4 forums that they also can't get this going with stock based roms (touchwizz and gpe), something about the lines of code for this to happen being removed or not there.
From personal experience, I could only get the navbar on pa. Another person on a thread enabled it on a cm based ROM.
So in the end, yes, it seems the only way to get the nab bar working is a cm based ROM. Its a pity cause that means we'll be giving up:
* good speakers - missing beats audio
* ir blaster and fantastic TV app.
* blink feed
* slightly better camera optimizations
Anyone able to recommend a cm based ROM ? Or at least alternative apps for the problems above?

Nope....doesn't work on Sense-based or GPE. Tried it like........I lost count. I kinda savvy it too. However, even on a Touchwiz I can't produce it. So probaly it only works on CM or CM based roms.

[REQ] Signal / Wi-fi / Operator on the left side of status bar

You know, like in MIUI v5? Is there any ziptheme mod, or does anyone know what do I have to edit to have those icons on the left side of the staus bar?
Thanks in advance.

I also REALLY want this. I'm surprised no one has already made this happen, it seems like a no brainer customisation feature.

Gingerbread MIUI had the option. Would be neat but I doubt I'd use it.

Great find
I found something similiar, involved editing xml files after decompiling sytemUI, but for an older Android version, so it didn't work. I will decompile his file and check for differences.

I'm currently working on modifying the systemUI.xml of my PA rom which should work on most AOSP roms. I'm trying to adjust icon dimensions to allow for a larger signal strength icon to simulate the new ios7 dot style signal strength icon. Not that relevant... But while I'm there I'll see if I can't make a simple switch sides mod.
Make a paint image or something or find a screen shot of exactly what you want or what side and such. I don't want to forget icons.

It says: ''I'm going to show you to properly center the clock using the xml found in stock Sony Timescape ICS but the principles can be applied to pretty much any rom on any device.''
So i think that could be done in any other roms. I will try it in PA

Yeah, I know. I tried something like this, but it was based on stock ICS, but some lines weren't present in JB's XML.

Sorry, there was supposed to be a picture in my post. It's just one wallpaper that I am after, and it isnt posted in this thread (or any other thread in the nexus 5 forum), hence why I asked for it here. It's the wallpaper that the nexus 5 was marketed with, the one with the colourful curved shapes.

Thanks, now i can make my backup phone a little bit more like my nexus 5

Thanks for your work. But I don't see a way to download items from the site as your OP stated. I'd rather do it manually instead of by way of downloading another app. If it has to be through your app, will the items downloaded stay on the phone without the app?

Can I get flashlight and rotation toggle on the Stock ROM?

The stock ROM is absolutely perfect for me, except for 2 things. All I want is a flashlight and a rotation toggle in the quicksettings panel.
I know I can get an app to do it and put it in the notification panel, but I'd love to get them in the quicksettings panel.
Also, I'd want to keep ART so I can't use Xposed.
Basically what I'm wondering is, is there a flashable zip that adds those 2 toggles to the qs panel?

As far as I'm aware--although I could be wrong--no, there aren't any flashable .zips available. To do what you're asking would certainly require modifying the SystemUI.apk, and while there are plenty of guides for doing this on 4.3 and below, I'm not too sure those methods would be applicable for 4.4... Sorry, mang. Hopefully someone with greater knowledge can chime in with a true answer, but I honestly don't have one.
EDIT: In the mean time I'm going to keep looking into it for yah though. Kinda curious myself.
