Google Nexus 5 Thread

[ico]

anyone here? could only find the Nexus 4 people in this forum.

I'm a proud owner of Nexus 5 D820 (US version). Best phone ever, except for batter life ofc.

LOL didn't even notice that there wasn't a N5 thread here


I own a 32 GB Black D821 model. Obviously unlocked bootloader and rooted. Currently using MultiROM to dual boot Stock 4.4.4 and L dev preview. L is awesome. Blazing fast and rock solid.

All in One Tool Box
Screen OFF
Box (50GB free for LG brand)
Camera 360
MomentCam (funny)
Dolphin Browser
Opera mini (doesnt work on wifi)
ES File Explorer
First Aid
Greenify
IndianRail
MX Player
Google Keep
My Tracks
Power Toggles (add one touch data on/off buttons)

I use the following on my N5 (no root)

AndChat - for IRC.
Barcode Scanner
CamScanner Full Version - for scanning documents. Used to retail for Rs. 250 or something. Saw for Rs. 50 one day so purchased it.
Dropbox - got 48 GB free space cuz I activated Dropbox on my **** Samsung alternate phone. Total 59.75 GB now.
File Manager - yea, that's the applications name. Interface looks good and it's free + no advertisements.
Tiny Flashlight - I miss my Nokia 1108. First phone.
Google Keep - good for notes.
Opera - better than Chrome imo. Enabling "Off-Road Mode" makes it equivalent to Opera mini. Otherwise Dolphin + Opera mini is also a good option, infact better option because Dolphin > all.
PicSay Pro - for resizing pics. Purchased for Rs. 5 long back.
SoundHound Infinity - sometimes used for recognising songs. Purchased for Rs. 5 long back so no regrets!
Telegram - good for sharing documents. Encrypted. Better than Whatsapp.
Terminal Emulator - sometimes with MTNL/BSNL, 3G is connected but no data transfer takes place. So this app gives me a Linux-like terminal. "ping 8.8.8.8" to test internet connectivity.
Twicca - still using this for Twitter.
Whatsapp - everybody needs this these days.

Some friends are using this app named Tinder hoping to meet some girls. They're saying that Indians are using it now. Dunno if they will succeed.

Where did my post go?

To the Nexus 4 thread.

I added MIUI to MultiROM last night didn't play around with it much as I was very tired yesterday. But it looks very smooth and beautiful. Plus it's very functional.

I like nexus 5 usb adapter charger. Thinking of getting one more for use with galaxy s2.

I am also owner of Nexus 5. Like this one very much. Other than the battery life.
However I find some signal strength issue (also comes with battery issue) after the 4.4.4 update.

strange, i am having no issues like that here, if it was OK for you with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3, you can just flash the corresponding radio.img and it should be fine..

Update: Just saw that new 4.4.4r2 images are available, which seems to contain a new radio.img for indian users, i think this might fix your issue: *developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

btw, i was wondering what Screen density you guys are using? I use 360, 480 now seems like too big for me now, like a low res screen..

whats that?

 

[srkmish]

Although i don't own it, i use my friend's from time to time and this phone flies. Much better than the galaxy crap.

 

[ratul]

whats that?

the dpi of the screen, can be changed by editing the value of ro.sf.lcd_density under /system/build.prop.. (should be rooted, default 480, lower, the better)..
now i have more screen estate, so it now more feels like a 5" screen as i can see more now on my screen at a time, and hence this is what my home screen and app drawer looks like now:

well as they say, preference..
everyone prefers different settings, some can't go below 440, some even run 300 or below screen density, it's all about what feels right to you, i have ~120 apps installed, so 30 icons on one page just reduces the no. of scrolls for me, and just feels right to my eyes...
