Your "must have" mods? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just wondering what every ones "must have" mods are. they always have to have on their Nexus 6 no matter what ROM.
For me I feel I'm rather simple.
leankernel: enable Green LED for Full Battery, Double Tap to Wake, Set Color Calibration, -50mv
Root: to use Trickster Mods, and fo build.prop tweaks
Build.pro: enable Google Launcher Home and lock screen roation, 493DPI

Franco kernel (latest release)
Clean ROM 1.4
Double tap to wake
Light flow for led notifications
battery percent text instead of battery icon.
I install nova prime and, screen off. Then I enable double tap to screen off.
The one mod I have not seen (other than in CM12) is the ability to add/remove options to the stock lolloipop quick setting tiles. I would love to add the accounts sync toggle to that section.

What is 'screen off'?

Its an app in the play store I use the one called screen off the developer is icillin. I use nova prime to set double tap to activate that app and it locks the screen just like the LG stock launcher did when I had the G2.

LED notifications, battery percentage, no boot music, no hard coded Web bookmarks as a start.

Quick Access To Battery Status?

i am running Stock up including clock face but with NULL_18 as base for extra benefits.
how can i quickly see the battery status like what i see when i plug it in?
currently i have to go to Settings > Battery which is not quick and easy.
i had used the Watch Style app where you can get faces with battery but it seemed to use more battery and i like Stock look.
thanks for any suggestions.

When I double-tap, the status bar shows up. The problem is now when I load a full-screen app, the status bar is always there at the top. How do I go back to hiding the status bar at all times?

Thanks, I'll check out GMD. In the meantime, is there a setting somewhere to revert back to the no-statusbar UI?

Are you looking for a setting to switch back to the original tw launcher or for use in the nova launcher? To set touch whizz as the default launcher just go to nova settings and it's the first option, select touch whizz, switch the screen of and use the twisting arm wake gesture to select home. If you're looking at changing the nova settings it might be an idea to reflash null and not check full ui in the aroma options. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for though. It's a bit late here and I'm a bit frazzled

I'm in the TouchWiz launcher / shell, which is nice. No issue there. My problem is I two-finger tapped or double-tapped the screen to try gestures, and the status bar appeared at the top, showing the battery %, time, Bluetooth icon, etc. I now have no way to make this status bar disappear at the top. For example, I see it when I'm in Settings, or in the root browser, or any custom app.
It seems the two-finger tap toggled it on, but there is no way to toggle it off. Where is the setting to turn it off?

That's not the two finger toggle. The two finger toggle on stock or null without full system ui is a shortcut to brightness/volume and battery screen. Sounds like you've selected full system ui in the aroma settings. I can't see any options to switch off the status bar in apps. You can turn it off on the nova launcher with nova settings but that doesn't apply to apps. You can try flashing the Rom again and uncheck the full status ui and see if the status bar is still present in third party apps or you can download another third party app to control things like the status bar in apps. There's a list of third party apps you could use in the help sticky null_/free falling theme..... It's under notifications icons/soft buttons

double tap to wake not working after OTA nougat update?

With an app called Kernel Adiutor. On my rooted Nexus 6,
It worked first (and every) time for me, no tweaking required. Presumably all your other root apps are working ok?
may I ask how you enable double tap to wake on Nexus 6 on Nougat? thanks
No special action apart from pressing the "activate" button... It just works, normally 95% of the time, since I occasionally have to double-tap a couple of times.
got my Nexus 6 double tap to wake working with Kernel Adiutor (ROOT), is it a heavy app just for the double tap to wake?
any recommended app just for double tap to wake? that and notification led which I use lightflow (any better app for the job?)
they are the main reason I root my Nexus 6,
If you're rooted you shouldn't need Kernel Adiutor for Double Tap - mine works fine and I have no such kernel control apps. As I said, it's not 100%, and I read a long time ago that this is the reason that Google put the ability in the ROM but didn't activate it - they didn't want to frustrate users with what looked like a buggy app. Still, Sean's app works well enough for me, and it means that I'm relieving stress on the power button - Double Tap to wake, and Nova's swipe gesture to sleep, so I rarely need to touch the power button at all. Given the number of people complaining that their power button has stopped working, I reckon the less I use it the longer my N6 will last (touch wood... )
I use elemental kernel and it has an option for double tap to wake on install.
thanks for all comments.
looks like kernel adiutor consume much battery too,
any recommend alternative app for the job? hope there is an app for both double tap to wake and notification led (is lightflow the only choice? looks heavy too on batt)
tia
btw I use chainfire way to root, and has no plan to install custom recovery and custom kernel, prefer all stock, thanks
I bought Light Flow a year or so ago and it seemed to be a battery hog, so I uninstalled it. But given that I'd paid for it, just out of curiosity I tried it again a few months ago and it consumes very little. I put it down to advances in the programming, and I'm still using it happily today. As far as I know Light Flow on a rooted device is the only way to get the LED to activate as a notification.

will elementalx kernel saves battery?
seems like the kernel adiutor eat battery, it is the first item that drain battery after full charge? should I use other util to get the double tap to wake? that only what I need and beside not fond tweaking,
pls recommend, thanks

may I know how you install the elementalx kernel? am I right I can simply use the EX Kernal Manager from playstore to install it?
sorry, noobie on these, thanks in advance

Some question on OnePlus 3T and OOS 4.0 (coming from OnePlus One (COS or CM14.1)

1. Is there no way hide notification on lock screen for apps that's always in the notification bar (like Tasker or Call Recorder?)
2. I can't find anyway to turn of the screen by double tap the notification bar (like in COS or CM).

1. I'm using the payed version of call-recorder, and I can disable the notificationbar icon and notification.
2. Sadly this feature (or better gesture) is not availible in oos.

Call recorder is a widely used name for apps that record calls. I use the one from Skvalex, also payed version.
What I mean is that normally apps that shall stay active all the time needs to be in notification bar, but I rather don't see it when I only turn on the display with the lock screen.
In CM and COS I could deal with this with options like "never show for apps always in notification bar".

Hmm, I'm on 4.0 and havn't used call-recorder in the short time I was on 3.5.4, next time I'm restoring 3.5.4, I'll check and report back.
Stupid me! It was because I had no PIN set on the phone, I had no specific options for the lock screen.

You can also achieve this via nova launcher. Although i am not sure about widget but you can double tap on the screen and it will lock the phone Check out nova settings for customizing the gestures and taps.
This setting is present without the use of any third party app.

Hey! Same phone,stock theme..don't work double tap to sleep for me neither
I think it's not meant to lock the screen, it's meant to wake the off-screen to Lock screen and opposite.
Or don't you write about the option in the ,AOD' menu of preferences?
Kinley7272 said:
I think it's not meant to lock the screen, it's meant to wake up the off-screen to lockscreen (or if the '10 second AOD' is on) and opposite, to turn off the screen from lockscreen with double tab. That's what working for me.

Yes it's under the AOD menu. Maybe you are right, the double tap works on the lock screen both ways. Coming from an LG phone and so used to double tap to lock I do it automatically and missing it.
Thank You
Not for the homescreen, just the lockscreen. Maybe xiaomi devs will implement in the future who knows.
if you use another launcher it work perfect both wake and sleep (olauncher, lawnchair,... etc). double tap to turn off screen only work on lockscren and it is happen on all xiami device i think. alternately you can set shortcut on navigation bar by long press on home/menu/back button to turn off screen.
Go to setting-Home screen-system navigation-Button shortcuts

Thanks, my search bar couldn't find it, cause I looked for something with "double" but the term is "2x tab..."
If you want t2s on your homescreen. Just install poco launcher
It works only on lockscreen not on homescreen. You can add lockscreen widget on your homescreen.
this was a major issue for me with miui......
so I made a cool trick.
download one tap lock software from play store, then from gestures option of your launcher ( i am using smart Launcher, you may use nova or whatever you want) , select double tap > open app > one tap lock ( the one we downloaded earlier).........
now you will not feel this issue anymore and this is a bypass for this bug.......
double tap to lock doesnt work on stock launcher well it works from lockscreen , thats the reason i switched to different launcher but lost the gestures which were pretty cool full screen
When I use a launcher, the double-tap to lock works, but the navigation gesture doesn't.
Does anybody else have this problem too?
I have a redmi note 10.
MIUI 12
Android 11.

Open app drawer, there click on the 3 uneven lines on the top right corner to open the settings. Scroll through and there's an option to enable double tap to sleep.
