Guys.... Is custom roms better than stock rom.? I am on stock rom locked and unrooted. Afraid to void warranty. [emoji57][emoji53][emoji52]
[Nexus 5 General] manuabraham:
Thanks bro .. And I'm guessing 64 GB is ok?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Depends on what you expect from them. I love a lot of customization which I can't find on stock(I don't like using xposed), so I'm always on a custom rom and kernel.

Don't worry about warranty, after flashing a custom rom and modding your device, you can install bootlunlocker app from playstore by which you can lock/unlock the bootloader as well as reset the tamper flag without wiping the device :)

64GB is nothing.. You can even connect External HDD to this baby! :D
[Nexus 5 General] BlazeForth:
I also need a lot customizations. But if i unlocked bootloader everything will get wiped.. I dont want to loose apps and its data..... Feeling lazy to reinstall every apps and all... Is there any solution for this?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Copy all /sdcard content to your computer. For apps. you can use Helium to backup all apps and then restore them!

Yeap. If you know your way around adb, it can be a very powerful tool! However, I've seen backups going bad at times with adb. Upto you to decide which way you wanna backup. Both ways will do the job.

One more doubt... [emoji16]How is camera performance in custom roms?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
No problem. Always happy to help. :)

Same as stock rom. I'm using Google Camera from the playstore. It's a nexus device which is free from htc, Samsung proprietary frameworks and hence changing roms won't affect camera performance.

However, I've seen on a few roms like slimkat, the hdr option is missing. It can be fixed by flashing the required update released by them.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Best is to replace the entire frame which would cost you around 8k or so. Yet if you aren't looking to, make sure you put a proper screen guard over it as broken glass pieces can be dangerous. Please take care.
[Nexus 5 General] BlazeForth:
Can anyone suggest me a good rom and kernel that have very good battery performance(better than stock) [emoji14][emoji13][emoji12]and support customisations.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
All custom roms and kernels are optimized. Battery and performance mostly depend on your usage and the settings you choose. I use AICP along with ElementalX and find it the best combo as per my requirements. However, you might be looking for something different. Only way is to try out a few roms and see what suits you the best :)
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
you should give try to mahdi rom
[Nexus 5 General] BlazeForth:
I seriously wamt battery performance. Thats important for me. Or should i stay in stock?
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
i am on mahdi and franco kernel and battery is good in deep sleep 1% discharge in 2 hours
[Nexus 5 General] BlazeForth:
I will try tat...
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you just want battery life then install any custom kernel, underclock to 1.5 ghz and use battery saving governor.

Apart from kernel, switch off location services, google location reporting, bluetooth and set lowest brightness which suits your eye. Don't use auto brightness.

Install greenify and hibernate all apps which you don't want. Once you're rooted, you can install titanium backup by which you can change system apps to user apps so that you can easily greenify them as well!

Slimport to HDMI

Here's a video which explains it - http://blog.clove.co.uk/2012/11/02/what-is-slimport/

You just need to connect the cable to the TV's HDMI input and you are ready to share the mobile phone screen. Its like a projector which only duplicates the display. It is useful when you have a video to watch or some games whcih you can play with bluetooth controllers.:cowboy:

The adapter is very good. You can charge the phone while you are sharing the screen too. :good:

Hey guys, i recently bought nexus 5 32gb and can't really express its performance and looks in words :) First thing which comes to my mind is whether to really use screen protector or not. I have searched in this thread and found out that most of the guys are using glass protector. Is there any difference between normal protector and glass protector? And is it available in all mobile stores? If yes, please recommend a good one. I actually bought mobile from reliance digital for 33k and they said they didn't have screen guards with them(Really!!) I can buy them online but i really don't know how to apply it :-/

Thanks in advance.

One more thing which i think is frequently asked question. Can i only root and flash recovery without wiping data and without unlocking bootloader?

I am using my Nexus 5 without a screen guaed from past 10 days.. have not encountered any issues.. not even a single scratch
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I'm using my Nexus from the past 6 months naked! If you take care of the device, there's no need to put a screen protector. Yes, there's a huge difference between ordinary and glass protectors. The glass protectors are made of glass which will shatter when you drop your phone protecting the device's screen. It will surely be a worthy investment if you plan on buying one. I would suggest you get the Nillkin Tempered Glass Screen Protector from aliexpress! It costs about $10-$12.

The nillkin kit comes with alcohol cloths and other things using which you can install it perfectly! You can also search on youtube for applying a nillkin tempered glass protector.

There has been an exploit found in KitKat by which you can achieve this but I wouldn't advise you to follow this method. Do the traditional way which will guarantee a 100% success. You can backup all your apps using Helium! :)
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
But the fingerprints are easily noticeable :-/ And keeping it in my pockets while travelling will definitely produce some scratches which may not be visible now. So, it might be better to use it. Better safe than sorry. Only thing is, which one should i try.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
In the mobile world, there's nothing called a "new" device. After the Nexus 6, there will be rumors of the Silver Program and so on.. If I were you, I would buy this awesome piece of hardware right now and forget about everything else. The development community is very strong over here which will guarantee a long period of Development Support! :D
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
That's the exact reason i bought this model along with the likes of mi3, recently announced htc e8 and rumour around next nexus. But who cares, this is such a very well built device along with huge development, so one must not think any furthur for purchasing it :)

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

Do you recommend buying glass protectors from mobile shops instead of online? From big names atleast?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I haven't seen any good branded tempered glass protectors in retail outlets in Mumbai. All I can find are cheap ones costing around 300 bucks which aren't worth buying. However, one of my friend bought an Amzer Tempered Glass protector for Rs.1.2k which I think is too much for a protector. Besides that, the Amzer one's tend to mess up after a few weeks around the edges.

If you want a tempered glass I would only suggest you to buy Nillkin, Glass-M or MIME. The Nillkin one is the cheapest among the lot and by looking at the reviews, it's one of the best.
[Nexus 5 General] Prattham:
but what about the specsof N6

it will have better much better specs than N5 and even much bigger battery

i dont want that if i buy N5 today and after 3 months when N6 comes out i am regretting myself.

thanks for ur help

Cheers
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Can you please tell me your source on this supposedly "Nexus 6" being developed?? LG has already said few months ago that it's not making a nexus device. Everything reported in the threads are just speculations. There's no hard material stating that there will be a Nexus device launched within 3-4 months.

Again, if there's a Nexus device released in Sept/oct, the android silver line of devices which will be partnered with google will be launching in Q1 2015 which might have better specs and battery. There's simply no end to it :silly:

After waiting a few months, if you find that there's still no news about a nexus 6, then what? Anyways, as I said earlier, if I were you, I would certainly buy the Nexus 5 now. Rest is up to you to decide :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Recently, a google engineer revealed to some magazine that they didn't stop nexus devices. So, nexus devices lives on but IMO, there won't be any device this year.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
All they ever said was the nexus devices will continue along with the Android Silver line of devices.. They never spoke about a new nexus device.

Yeah, even I think there isn't going to be any device this year. A jump from Snapdragon 800 to 801 or 805 isn't a huge jump IMO. Probably they will wait for the 64 bit one's! :D
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
[emoji115]this sums it up..

First of all, Touchwiz is crap and paired with an Exynos processor and an amoled screen, its a blunder.

Now, if I were u [MENTION=5426778]Prattham[/MENTION], I would make the jump right now because u will get a somewhat decent price for the sammy crap u have already bought (if u r planning to sell it).

And Snapdragon 801 or even 805 is not worth it right now..the only upgrade from a N5 would be a phone with a 64 bit processor which is only going to show up in Android Silver range.

Now, this Android Silver range is going to be unveiled in Q1 next year and will go on sale by May/June 2015.

And Google is also coming out with the very first Project Ara handset next year(in Q1 itself).

So these are the upgrades that u should consider.

If u can use the Sammy u already have for atleast 1 more year from now, then hold on to it.

Otherwise go for N5 right now. I made the switch from an iPhone 5 and I am really glad that I did.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I was online via tapatalk so I must have missed your image. I took a look at your image just now. It's a PowerBank mate. Which means it's USB charging and hence the max you will get is 1A from it. Even if you connect it to a 2.1A out, you will need a kernel which supports Fastcharge. However, even with fastcharge enabled, the max output you will get is about 800-900 mA.

In short, you will never be able to charge your nexus 5 with a powerbank @ 2.1A
