Nexus 5 help.

[matin94]

Hello just got my brothers Nexus 5 as a temp phone.

 

everything looks so plain and white. i need help to customize the phone. i want new text messages themes, lock button. app icons. all sorts.

 

i have no idea where to look, the app store isnt helping or i just dont know what to search. so hit me with the amazing apps and tweak available for this phone.

I have the same phone.
I used Purity Rom

Franko Kernel

 

For apps:

SMS Textra (I really like this)

I also Use the Nova Launcher to replace the Default Launcher app

this is a matter of personal preference.

Also the Aviate launcher looks really nice.

Either u can choose different launchers or maybe custom Rom for different stuff.

Yeah the first two are not obligatory but they helped in battery specs, also I use Lux lite Dash - This had major impact on my battery life.
Others that use are Boomerang (email app), facebook messenger and skype, Rocket Player for audio and torch for a flashlight.
