If you mean the N5 ROM, nope, not yet. My N5 will arrive in a couple of days, and I decided not to root it. Just look general tips and tricks, especially, for the battery life. ;)

Edit:

Oh wait, I just saw that the codename of N5 is hammerhead. :p

Thanks! :)

[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
What!, Not root, what.....??????

You must unlock the true potential of your Nexus!

Stage 1) fastboot oem unlock which will wipe your data partition.

Stage 2) I'd strongly recommend instantly installing the Catalyst ROM (after you've unlocked) see link in my sig, its the power of stock with customization!

unlock this should be the first thing that you do after you've determined that you've a working unit.

[Off-topic] NVardan:
Thanks! Will probably arrive on Friday or so. Already dying. :p

I said I won't root, but I didn't say I won't root at all. I know that the stock experience is somewhat limited, but I want to test it and see if it's enough. If not, then I'll root it. :)

Thanks! Will be more careful with it than I was with my Saga, to not deadly brick it lol. :D
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
quite a challenge to brick a nexus, and if you do Google aren't that fussy regards to warranty return, so no sweat
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Well, I'll look into rooting after a while of using it stock anyway. Just as I did with my Saga, which my father somehow managed to restart into the bootloader, so now, it's working. I'll flash a stable ICS ROM (most probably fallout) and give it to my mom.
[Off-topic] suku_patel_22:
I flashed the CM 10.1 build of 23rd August and have given it to my wife. It has been quite stable.

I flashed fallout though, because it's a Sense 4 and that means my father could also help my mother to learn things on her first smartphone, because he has a Sense 4 phone. :p

With all this root talking, I'm not even sure that I need root at all on my Nexi. I mean, I stick to stock ROMs anyway, and I barely use any root apps, except for Root Explorer maybe, but I rarely venture into /system partitions and the likes so... maybe when 4.5 comes I won't even root any of my devices

Thought the same, so not rooting yet. But a day might come that I will actually root the N5 for the sake of Secure Settings helper for Tasker.
[Off-topic] PVL_93_RU:
Yeah, I guess only benefit is Titanium Backup because some games don't have the proper backing up in the clouds or some old games don't have the Play Games support which leaves them without cloud saves too. But on the other hand we have Helium which also allows backing up stuff without root and can even save data to the GDrive...

And besides, I ATM have BusyBox, Flash Image GUI, ROM Installer, ROM Manager, SuperSU, Root Explorer and Titanium Backup - all of them are root apps, and I actually never use any of them... could've cleared the space for other apps or games (because now I have exactly 4 app pages in the drawer and the perfectionist inside me is saying "F@$#" each time I see one or two apps on the 5th page)

One major disadvantage of Helium for non rooted devices is that it needs to be connected to a PC to activate it. I hardly turn on my laptop.

yep, I did, certainly a performance improvement over stock although I prefer ART as seems just as fast and is meant to be more battery friendly, plus I don't use xposed, it's completely compatible with all my apps, and it the future.

Thanks for the feedback. Currently on ART stock ROM, but since I've read about performance improvements, I thought it might be better than ART, but since ART is more battery friendly, I'll still stay with it. :)

This thread makes me sad.

If XDA is supposed to be a community, why ban OT threads in device general forums?

Except for phone hardware and software stuff, anything else you post is OT. The hangout and offtopic threads in the general device forums are supposed to be a place where people from all over the world (having their phone as their common denominator) can get together and share their experiences about everything.

If the mods can let noobs get away with asking the silliest questions without being pulled up for it,

If the Dev committee can make a guy who de-odexes a stock ROM (and adds Gapps and a few other apps to it) a Recognized Developer,

If people can lose Recognized Contributor status just for getting mildly angry at people noobing it out in the Dev section,

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR A REBOOT.

XDA NEEDS TO RETHINK THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE.

/Rant end.

Got lots more to say, but not enough time to say it. :(

in fact my country was one of the first to ban carrier locking.source http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock

Singapore is the first (now also Israel) country that forbids outright SIM locking and contract/phone bundling. Singapore's telecommunications regulator has ruled that the competition clause in mobile carriers' licenses means SIM-locking is not allowed, and has warned at least one operator for selling SIM-locked phones [47]
[Off-topic] shrome99:
Well, the thing about US (maybe Europe too, probably not) is that their tariffs are incredibly high. Unlocked phones (off contract) are sold for an unsibsidized price ($600-700 for high end stuff) but people find it easier to get a phone on contract with tariffs included (my cousin in US told me about this a while ago).

Of course, for people in other regions where tariffs are lower, there is no reason to introduce the contact system.

I took the plunge today and I upgraded my T-mobile contract to EE (which has 4G), as various areas around where I live, although not my home town have coverage now...slightly cheaper than my current contract....not a huge amount of data but I'll up the tariff, if I find I use it, in reality I'm on wi-fi nearly everywhere I go, my home, work, friends houses, pub, etc... but couldn't continue to use the N5 and not run it at 100%.

SIM should arrive tomorrow or Friday.
[Off-topic] NVardan:
I'm okay with my N5 having only a max of 3G. Also, I think the carrier I'm on doesn't have LTE anyway (it's based off O2, but is mainly focused on TV and Home Internet, with 3G SIMs with some data plan offering as extra). Hope that T-Mobile upgrades their network so that you will have access to their 4G speeds on your Nexus 5!

[Off-topic] NVardan:
I have both ART and Moto X bionic binaries (I assume dalvik binaries are not necessary since I have chosen ART as my runtime. But the phone started to lag a lot. Frame drops here and there and lag. I'm thinking of flashing stock deodexed ROM while keeping root. If the lag doesn't disappear, I might as well return to stock settings, lock the bootloader. :(
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
dalvik libraries are useful still in case you switch back.

The lag, must be caused by apps you've installed as mine never does, you can fiddle with Franco settings to make things more responsive (nearer stock kernel) but this will be the expense of battery....cataclysm is stock, so don't restrict yourself, reverting to being locked seems like a backwards step to me...
[Off-topic] NVardan:
I have the same apps installed as on the stock ROM, so this lag is puzzling me to be honest. :confused: Reverting back to stock for now, I need a lot of testing time to test ROMs/kernels out, so I will have to wait till the next holidays in 2 months. :P

Keeping the bootloader unlocked though, with the hope that Google won't release any OTA anytime soon. :P
