Thanks tongue.gif laugh.gif

As for me hiding status bar is kinda fine as I can swipe-down (or two-fingers swipe-down) from anywhere in the home-screen to access the information there.

However as for the navigation bar, I've tried Pie Control and seriously I don't think I could get used to it, based on my  style so for now I'll just stick with the default navigation bar.

After all I don't really want to stagger the usability just for the sake of beautifying the device tongue.gif

Exactly the way I felt. Pie is just not for me. Sometimes hiding status bar is too bothering me. Haha

Customisation completed. Overall nothing much changed except the wallpaper, icon pack & colour used in the widget tongue.gif

Rearranged the shortcuts to allow me to access frequently used ones much more easily when using the phone single-handed (right-hand).

Previously it was really kind of darn-hard to reach the "Call" or "Message" button rclxub.gif

Well issit possible to develop the nexus 5? From the pic its like no bazel at all.

laugh.gif Possible but the phone can take NO DAMAGE from the side else 100% the screen will crack. laugh.gif

That's the problem of bazeless. Unless they use flexible display else it should be very fragile.

Why want bazeless?? See how well lumia 920 perform with that huge bazel tongue.gif

I change wallpaper almost on daily basis, so I can't have set up like this, if not I will have to move my widgets everyday... So I have a page of homescreen with only a clock and nothing else. Swipe left/right for widgets haha

Usually it's hard to find oversea cases locally in retail stores unless they're really famous / high demand. However the price will usually be jacked up so might as well as directly order from U.S. and save some $. laugh.gif

Haha. So far I change my wallpaper once every month-or-so, and I back-up previous configurations using Nova Launcher backup so I could fall-back to my previous designs as per required tongue.gif

But yeah, moving widgets/realigning them is really rclxub.gif

Homescreen with only a clock? Child's play tongue.gif

My current setup sweat.gif

Simple lockscreen with DashClock. The text is a bit difficult to see because of the light-ish wallpaper.. Might consider changing it haha.

Attached Image

Homescreen drool.gif It's as minimal as it gets LOL.

Attached Image

Two finger swipeup to access the dock. Swipe left and right on the dock for additional frequently used apps.

Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

Two finger swipedown to access the app drawer.

It's fun having friends trying to figure out my phone. That's probably the main reason it's like this tongue.gif tongue.gif

i think it's very hard to do so, since there's not even the 3 months contract package anymore.

laugh.gif Yeah I loved to do this to trick my friends too. There's no app drawer button and they are having a hard time to figure out where it is (except one of my friend whom are android user himself, easily figured out that I used swipe-up gesture for app drawer; but did not realized that I replaced the home button to be the app drawer button too tongue.gif)
