How To: Get Nexus 6 "Ambient Display" Notifications on Your Nexus 5
Android "Lollipop" introduced a ton of cool new functionality. Unfortunately, the Nexus 5 didn't get all of these features, as some were exclusive to other devices. For example, the Ambient Display function on the Nexus 6 that shows new notifications as they come in with a black-and-white lock screen. Sure, the new Nexus phablet has an AMOLED display that doesn't waste any battery to power black pixels, but it would be nice to have this feature as an option on the Nexus 5, wouldn't it?Not one to be left out when it comes to new features, developer Raffaele D'Alto came up with a way to add Ambient Display functionality to the Nexus 5. To be clear, his mod does not replicate the Nexus 6's lift-to-wake feature, just the new notification interface. But awesome new functionality like this is more than welcome as our devices begin to get a little long in tooth. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
PrerequisitesRooted Nexus 5 running stock Android 5.0.1 Custom recovery installed
Step 1: Download the Ambient Display ModD'Alto's Ambient Display mod comes in the form of a flashable ZIP. To download this file, point your Nexus 5's web browser to this link, but make sure to wait until the download has finished before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Boot into Custom RecoveryNext, power your phone completely off. When the screen goes black, press and hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously. When Android's bootloader menu comes up, press the volume down button twice to highlight "Recovery mode," then press the power button to select it.
Step 3: Install the ModFrom TWRP's main menu, press the "Install" button to begin. (Note that other custom recoveries have a slightly different interface, but the process in general is mostly the same.) Next, navigate to your device's Download folder, then select the "5.0.1Ambient.zip" file. After that, just swipe the slider at the bottom of the screen to install the mod. When the process has finished, tap "Reboot System."
Step 4: Enable Ambient DisplayWhen you get back up, no further setup is needed. The Ambient Display option can be accessed in Settings under the "Display" menu, but it will already be enabled by default.New notifications will now wake your device to a black-and-white lock screen for a few seconds. Combined with Lollipop's new lock screen notification interface, this makes reading incoming messages incredibly easy. If you'd like to interact with one of these notifications, just tap anywhere, and the lock screen will return to its full color state. (1) Ambient Display notification, (2) Full color lock screen after interaction If you'd like to get the full Nexus 6 Ambient Display experience, try out our GravityScreen guide to add lift-to-wake functionality.How are you liking the new Ambient Display notifications?

For some odd reason, the Netflix app likes to disable the Nexus Player's built-in screensaver. It doesn't use its own, it simply keeps your screen on indefinitely, which of course can lead to screen burn-in. This is not just an Android TV issue, as the Netflix app does the same thing on Roku and smart TVs.
