I'm on AICP with ElementalX. No in-app jitters, lags here. Everything's super smooth! I don't really remember about stock rom but I felt a little improvement when I used ART on stock! May be you could try it??

BTW, it's really not worth the wait (4.4.3)... Just unlock the bootloader and begin flashing.

I think that the In-app scrolling thing depends on the way the app is coded. Apps like whatsapp, hangouts, Gallery are smooth.. Only apps which in which I find jitters here and there are Tapatalk and sometimes 9gag... These apps are also Internet dependent so that might also be a reason.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Just switched to ART.. its much better now..I was rooted earlier running Stock+Franco.. But was having problems with Franco.. So got fed up and unrooted my phone.. And ART has broken up Gt Racing 2 and Threes...

Btw which Rom is AICP?
[Nexus 5 General] mrcreativity:
Root... Add a custom recovery and just flash the OTA when it's out.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Stock ROM with custom kernels haven't been good for me either...

Yes, if you are a gamer then few games aren't stable on ART... After all it's still a under-development project.

Here's the AICP thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632552

It's basically a combination of cherry picked features of all roms along with some of it's own goodies... Completely stable and when coupled with ElementalX, the phone turns into a beast :D I think elementalX is the perfect balance between Performance and battery..

+1 with the scrolling jitters. Stock + linaro.

But I've gotten so used to GravityBox, it's tough to get a custom ROM now :P

What ROMs play well with GravityBox? Alternatively, which ROM is the most feature packed (that will contain most, if not all of GravityBox's tweaks)?
[Nexus 5 General] Sheikhspeare:
I agree totally. This kind of mentality is what gives ALL OF US INDIANS a bad name. Then, when companies treat us differently, we cry foul. Furthermore, people with genuine issues with their devices will be subject to unwarranted difficulties while wanting a replacement thanks to the countless number of those making fraudulent claims.

With very warm regards and may peace be upon you,

AICP! Check my earlier post for the thread link... It's the most feature packed rom... I've been using it since ages now... HD2, One X and now on N5! :D

I've tried almost all roms out here but AICP has become my go to rom always because of the customizations it provides...

Never tried xposed/GravityBox on AICP since I didn't find it's features helpful on this rom... But those things should work on all roms...

- Sent from an IceCold Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] :
The thing is that GravityBox will not work with any ROM that has undergone customization, it'll only work with stock Android.

I'll check out AICP, but I doubt it'll have the many features that GravityBox provides, and constantly adds.

Cerberus free for lifetime license, i think it's the best application to locate your nex5 if stolen.. :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
In that case it's best you take a nandrioid backup before using it with AICP...

About the features, may be. May be not... Depends on what you want out of your phone... I can blindly say that AICP is the most feature packed rom for the Nexus 5 and the features which it offers are enough for me... I can't really go back to stock after using aicp... Just can't stand it :silly: :eek:

People..this may sound like a pathetic and stupid question..but still..

I want to root my phone but unlocking the bootloader will completely wipe my internal memory..so is there a way to take a complete back up of the internal memory including the apps and all?

So that once I am rooted I just restore that entire back up and live happily ever after ..Thanks..
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes. Install Helium:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

Follow the on-screen instructions and set it up.. Backup all the apps which you need. After the backup there will be a folder named "carbon" in the root directory which you need to copy paste to your computer. After unlocking, rooting, flashing, copy paste that folder to your root directory again and restore..

I had used it about few months ago so make sure it's the same now. You can find all the instructions on their website.

However, for games, I prefer copy pasting the /Android/obb/ folder to my computer as it's quicker..

Media files and other documents can be just copy pasted to your computer.

This is all that you can do without root... :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Thanks..Games I dont care about..I dont play them much on my phone either..

Google isnt coming up with the new version so chuck it..I am going to root it..

One thing more..I checked out AICP but uts still nightlies only..Are there any bugs too?

Coz I want something thats perfectly stable.. I cant change Roms again and again..you are using this Rom so u can give an honest opinion..and is pairing up with ElementalX fine too..thanks..
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
Is the new one plus one going to be a nexus killer??

I'm already jealous of the price tag and specs..

And started to hate Google pricing in India.. almost $570 compared against $400:mad:

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
They are named nightlies just for the sake of it. Everything's stable. Even I don't flash regularly now.. Only if there is a major bug fix in the nightly, I flash it.. BTW, it has OTA Update functionality. So, you can download and install updates easily.. Only requirement is that you have everything stock. ie: AICP, kernel, aicp gapps and twrp recovery... If all these are unchanged, then OTA update is a walk in the park..

However, I don't use their stock kernel(n3ohammer).. I use ElementalX as I've mentioned earlier.

BTW, I think you just checked out he nightlies section.. There's a RELEASE section as well. The latest "release" build is v4 dated 19-4-2014...

Nightlies are auto-generated on their server and contain the day to day changes.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
AICP it is then..I will use that screen tuning app too to correct the gamma..forgot the name ..lets see how it goes..

One last question..I am bothering you too much..but this is the last one for sure..

Are u using ART with AICP? ..coz i dont wana go back to that jittery Dalvik..thanks
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
The gamma depends on the kernel setting and the default settings used by ElementalX are great! You have 2 options, either select their default or use "cooler" colors... You can try both and if you aren't happy then use any 3rd Party apps to control it...

I believe it's "Nexus Display Control" by franco?? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexus4displaycontrol

No worries mate, always happy to help out! Shoot as many questions you want.. It's better to read/know everything before flashing anything and messing up the device :p

No, I don't use ART with AICP but it works on AICP the last time I checked(May be 2-3 weeks ago). I really don't find any jitters on AICP (except tapatalk) and because ART breaks a few things which I use, I settled with dalvic!

If you're interested, here's the things which I flash in sequence when I update my rom:

1. Rom, aicp gapps, ElementalX(kernel) and reboot.

2. Latest Qualcomm / Andreno Drivers and then reboot: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/updated-driver-binaries-qualcomm-adreno-t2629123

3. Ubuntu Font Pack: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/fonts-chromiums-font-packager-complete-t2513985

4. Few navbar mods from CandyShop: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/4-4-candyshop-lockringssoftkeysglowdotz-t2514238

Also, one thing which you need to keep in mind is that: When you change roms, kernels, It takes about 2-3 battery cycles for the battery to settle down. So, don't get alarmed if you notice "out of the ordinary" battery drain right after flash!
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Whoa whoa..thats an overload of information..did u type all that or had it saved on Google Drive or something :p ..n ya thats Nexus display control by Franco ..

[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
You didn't understood what I was trying to say. What I want say is that when i purchased my nexus it had some minor problems like loose buttons and a very small single dead pixel at the very top corner but I didn't find those problem very serious and hence i didn't RMA my nexus 5 many people had same problem and got there nexus 5 RMA. Now in future I am going to face some serious problem like battery replacement because I am a very heavy user I am charging my phone 3 times a day in this case I am going to end my battery life in 1 year or may be little more if lucky( considering 500- 1000 life cycle) So can I replace my nexus 5 just before 1 year so that I can get a new phone with new battery and save my money on battery which cost around 2000.also I will get a new build nexus 5 since my nexus 5 was old build which has those small speakers grill hole this will also increase the speaker loudness

So you all people stop thinking that I am doing some kind of fraud. What I am doing is what you people did the only difference is I am doing it slightly late.

Sent from an IceCold Hammerhead
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
n3ohammer doesn't have DT2W or S2W. They have been removed as they drain a lot of battery when enabled.. If you want it you will need to switch to a kernel which supports DT2W like ElementalX... :D

Does anyone know how to solve these wakelocks . I have never encountered these plus didn't got much help from Google too.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
The answer is right in the title of the wakelock... Alarm. Turn off repeat alarm and manually set it each night when you sleep... That's the only solution afaik...

Regarding the download service.. I'm not sure but I think it's related to playstore or Google apps like play movies, music, newsstand .. Greenify playstore and all of those google apps...

One more suggestion I would like to give is: Restart your mobile everyday... So if there are apps which have memory leak or any services which haven't been terminated, a reboot fixes it.

Hello, my Nexus now 5 months old has started giving some problems.

Apps get closed abruptly, sometimes network goes off, yesterday lost sound.

I've very few apps on the device, mostly from big vendors like Facebook, twitter, WordPress etc. Not much gaming either (occasional quizup game)

Now is there a way to reboot my device without losing the data I have?

Or should I rather call up Google or lg and get it checked?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Please give us more info? Which rom are you using? Stock? Rooted? Custom rom?

Apps get closed abruptly? Do they force close?

Lost sound? Did you get it back or just faced the issue that time?

How will rebooting a device lose data?? You can reboot as many times as you want.. You won't loose any data.. :)

[Nexus 5 General] zurufe:
I use nova launcher but haven't done any other changes to setup.

Got back sound after restarting device. Same with lost network and WiFi issue on more than a couple of occasions.

By rebooting I wanted to say going to factory settings in terms of applications and settings, without losing my contacts and documents
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes you can... Head over to recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvic and format system.

Flash the rom and gapps... Reboot..

Doing this won't touch the internal sd.. All your data will be intact... You will need to install apps again though...

As for contacts, you can sync with Google right now and when you connect it after flashing it automatically gets synced and all your contacts will be restored..

Thanks. Does any of this lead to warranty void in any way?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If Google covers your n5's warranty then it's fine.. Google doesn't care about root or unlocked bootloader. However, LG is a different matter altogether.

If warranty is covered by LG, then it's better to go stock, lock the bootloader and reset tamper flag before sending the device for repairs...
[Nexus 5 General] rkkaranrk:
What he said was about custom Rom and flashing gapps will surely void your warranty.

I would say just format your phone you will lose all your apps but you can allways reinstall them.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
If u ask me u should root and flash a custom Rom asap..its a different world altogether.. I thought that its 4.4.2 everywhere so what difference is it gonna make..but trust me, the attention to detail is just amazing in the custom Rom I am using..and I am on AICP..give it a try and u will be amazed..

[Nexus 5 General] :
+1 with the flashing custom ROM.

I was using Stock + Gravity Box up til very recently, but realized that my phone wasn't running to par. Recent apps took a second to load, and scrolling was always jittery.

I'm now running CarbonROM, and let me tell you, what a difference! It's much smoother, and that much quicker, and there aren't any holo blue inconsistencies left in. There's a dark theme mode, too, and that makes it look more badass. The customizability in this ROM is off the charts, and has lots of stuff built in, like Active Display and LED control. And battery life seems to have increased to boot, though I couldn't do a proper rundown test today because I had a stupid wakelock that got through before I got to Greenify-ing my apps.

I chose Carbon because of how many different features it has built in. It's perhaps second to only Dirty Unicorns, which messed with certain Stock Android design cues that I didn't like. Carbon has the professional feel to it, and the many ways you can customize this thing added to it, too. It's what Android should look like, IMO.

But you may prefer a different ROM. Slim's been getting quite a bit of press, as are the regulars (PA, Omni, AICP). Try them out and see which one you you like the best.

But be warned. Once you pop, you can't stop!
[Nexus 5 General] zurufe:
Apologies again fellows, but I still can't make out what impact running custom ROM has on the warranty.

I purchased my phone through Google play, is that what [MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION] meant by Google warranty and LG warranty?

Secondly, I'm new to the world of Android, so could you brief me on the way to go about this flashing ROM. Please guide if this ain't the right forum for this question.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Flashing a custom ROM would void your warranty. It's a software thing, though, not a hardware mod, so it's not as bad as, say, prying open your phone and drilling holes in the speaker module.

In most cases, if you need to claim a warranty, it's either of three things:

1. Your device is so messed up that they can't switch it on, in which case they'd never know it was tampered with.

2. You can un-root your device before you take it to claim your warranty. This of course is possible if you can access your phone, if even via fastboot.

3. They don't care whether your phone's rooted or not.

Don't expect people here to spoon feed you. You will be helped, of course, but you must do your own research prior to everything, and be willing to read a lot. There's guides here for basically everything, you just have to find them.

This guide, in the Nexus 5 General section is a guide to get your phone from stock to rooted with custom recovery. After that, you'll want to find threads to teach you to flash ROMs, kernels, and various other tweaks. Once you know how to flash something, the knowledge can be carried forth. And if there's something specific you need to for a particular mod, it'll be mentioned in the dev thread.

Good luck, and welcome aboard!
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
If u r new and dont know much..then I would suggest that u use the "Wugfresh Toolkit"..It will do everything for u..U will be rooted with a custom recovery running in no time..

N dont worry about warranty ..if the need to claim warranty ever arises then we are here to help and u will be able to..rooting and everything is a reversible process and this toolkit will do that too..so no worries..forget about that..
