*****************************************​

Dear XDA members

There's a "help thread" for each flagship and the Nexus 5 has been unveiled yesterday!

• If you are starting on XDA please read this: XDA New User Guide
• Need help? Give detailed information: ROM (version), kernel (version), mods... you are currently using. These information are very useful to be able to help you. Cheers.
• And don't forget this: NO Best ROM/Kernel threads

If you want to answer (even for a point of view) please answer gently and/or point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself.
In Post 2 you'll find a few links that can be useful for general stuff.

Ask any question here: adb, fastboot, bootloader, specific apps, hardware, drivers...

When you try to get an answer, try to describe your situation as detailed as you can, at least what ROM and kernel you are using.

 

[Primokorn]

This is to be used to point people in the right direction.

Q: How can i unlock my Nexus 5?
A: Go post no2, link 7

No spoonfeeding, user pointed in the right direction, don't forget to thank useful answers. :good:

Did someone already try to unlock the bootloader?

I guess I'll be the one to get the questions started then

This may actually be better suited to it's own thread if this branches off into more of a discussion.

Even though this question is more related to 4.4 than the N5, it's still relevant so here goes...

Since the announcement of 4.4 and the N5, I've been reading most of the articles posted. Over the last couple of days I've read that the native screen recording capabilities are somewhat limited as of right now, as the device still needs to be hooked up to a computer and can only record 3 minutes of content.

What's the likelihood of this either being improved via a future update OR a developer improving it to include more realistic usage and what kind of things would need to be done to include such changes?

Since its just an adb command, I would think that you could run it using a terminal emulator on the phone. I haven't actually tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
