The Nexus 5 Thread

[expositox]

hi guys, anyone noes the service centre for nexus 5 phone? just drop my phone and it randomly auto shuts down.

Before you had gotten the N5, you should have known that it has no service center in SG. it's either you send to ahbeng shops for repair or buy parts to repair, or the more expensive and more troublesome alternative is to send it back to the country you purchased from and ask LG/Google for a repair that should not be more than 150USD, excluding shipping fees.

IMO if you're brave enough, just repair it yourself. Otherwise just bring to abs and repair.

When I saw some Android L interfaces my first though was 'holy crap it looks a hell lot like iOS'
Especially the lock screen..

And the colour tinted notification bar looks a hell lot like iOS 6.

But after seeing both iOS 8 and Android L preview, I think I still choose Android L. The interface looks way cleaner and the new material design is just kickass.

Seems that the Developer version for Android L will be out today? Supposedly in a working but not very stable condition.. Haha Google's really into Nightlies these days. 4.4.3 followed by 4.4.4 and now "beta" for Android L.

Actually the soft keys design was used by a theme called Orange for PA/CM11 a while before Android L's soft key design was revealed.

Google's products have always been in "beta".

Its because they are always improving and updating it.

Don't know which calendar year they live in, 26 June alr

so far only Dialer & calculator has the material design
there is a new boot animation and i think it's uglier than kitkat one.

how to install in our phone? i tried but cant open

 

[||||||||||]

You must run the batch file in adb mode but you must wipe everything and be rooted.

Or you can install thru multiboot.

 

[shichuanhua]

Lock screen swipe up unlock, swipe left camera, swipe right dialer,swipe down c notifications

 

[cKm]

Tried it..it's lovely..one thing though, I needed to clean wipe cause had quite a few bugs. My pull down menu wasn't working, lock screen also, until I wiped clean. Now it's working perfectly!
