Thank you. Well, the ratings starts to be better, so from 3 stars back to 4 stars, quite a good tendency :)

BTW, thank you for your help in the old days (Galaxy Nexus), would be nice if we keep up the cooperation. :good:

Gimme gimme gimme! Starts slowly, but work in this index will increase with every device which is shipped. And I need people like you, helping filling and improving this thread. If you (or others) have an idea how to make anything better, let me know.

Added, thanks!

I need one as well... but probably I'll also keep the UNSUPPORTED Galaxy Nexus :)

Hopefully your stars are not that expensive as those from Mattayx:

Hi [MENTION=4924920]killian17[/MENTION], there are already KitKat ROMs out there for our Galaxy Nexus. Check those ROMs out! :)

I don't think we need Google for that. But normal users won't get Android 4.4 on their Galaxy Nexus and they can't unlock, root etc.

Could someone tell me what I'll need to do so I can install custom ROMs and Kernels once they are out of course.

I'm not sure what guide I need to follow (Root, recovery, bootloader).

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] szucsgf:
I'm only going to give very high level information. Please do more reading before taking any specific steps.

A recovery is a state your phone can boot into before it boots into the Android operating system. Installing a custom recovery allows you to install ("flash" ) custom versions of Android ("ROMs" ) or kernels. ROMs and kernels are flashed in the same way; they are zip files that are installed in recovery. They differ in what this you need to wipe prior to flashing (the nuances of wiping different partitions is something you'll get used to in time).

The first step is to root your phone (which gives you and root apps the ability to modify system files generally) and install a custom recovery. The easiest way to do this is through a root toolkit such as this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2508817

[TOOLKIT] [ROOT] Kwongger's NEXUS 5 All-In-One Toolkit

This gives you an easy way to root and install TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), which is one of the two major "brands" if recoveries (the other is CWM).

Once you are rooted and have a custom recovery, go into the XDA thread of a ROM you're interested in and read the instructions very carefully. They will briefly outline the steps you need to take to flash their ROM. The instructions are always along the lines of 1. Do a backup/nandroid, 2. Full wipe/factory reset, 3. Flash ROM and gapps, 4. reboot. Also read as much of the thread as possible to see what people are saying about the ROM. There may be more details involved, depending on the thing you're learning how to flash. All those general steps I just listed as an example are done in recovery.

This is by no means a comprehensive guide. It's just a bare outline that hopefully gives you a vague but accurate idea of the process, introduces you to some of the terms and vocabulary involved, and raises a few questions for which you can look for the answer. Good luck!

I hope it will be helpful.
[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
Well... sorry for that long answer :).

That was the plan, right. The Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013) were announced and hat a start date, when it will be available in our local stores. I think it was just a second after it was available on Google Play. Google Nexus 4 was also available in local stores, but unlike the Nexus 7 devices, its price was 50 EUR (about 67 USD) higher than at Google Play. Unfortunately, Google chose the same marketing way with the Nexus 5 and I was like WT...no! This means first: The approximately date for sale in local stores is end of Nov - maybe. And second, its price is 50 EUR higher, again. So for my ordered 32 GB black model it would be 450 EUR (about 606 USD). This is nasty.

I had a damn real social life event at this holy 31th Oct, started at the time as the device where announced. This completely ruined my Nexus 5 order experience. Finally, after a few days of crying, I luckily was able yesterday to order it after all these "We are out of inventory. Please check back soon." messages. As now it says in 2-3 weeks, so I hope about getting it in November. Otherwise [MENTION=5054799]DumF0rGaming[/MENTION] would be right (again). If dreams become reality and I unbox the Nexus 5, I'll check the display. If everything seems to be allright with the hardware, I'll have to do my customizations. If not, I'll have to return it to Google Commerce Ltd, HQ of Google Europe, resides in Dublin/Eire.

Let us know how the device fits in the case, maybe it's possible for you to upload a few photos.

Don't mind if I ask, are you German? You know... the username ;) Oh, wish you good luck for getting this beauty soon!

Munich, he. Neighbor. :) I'll visit you and your Nexus 5 if you get it sooner than me ;)

My experience is, yes, those guides are very helpful, for example if you have to return your Nexus 7 (2012) 3 times because of display issues and you already flashed custom stuff on it ;). Will add it soon, give me some minutes. Thanks!

A Bayer, servus :). We probably speak the same language and by that I don't think about German LOL. Well, wish you a lot of fun and no display issues - I have had so much problems in the past with displays... did you also choose a custom ROM?

Yes and no. I use LTE with the company phone S3 LTE and that's the reason why I wanna get a new private smartphone. The Galaxy Nexus is definitely a beauty, but it's old and even if I push the dual cores to 1.8 GHz, they cannot compete with the S3 LTE at 1.4 GHz each core. The Galaxy Nexus (Maguro) has no LTE functionality but LTE is not interesting for me actually. From the Gnex to Nexus 5 there changed so much and as a tech junkie, I just need a new device. Oh, the German Google website tells, there is LTE available.

Oh hi. You are very welcome over here as well, will check the Gnex thread later, think there is something waiting for me ;) Thank you and stay (also) in here :D

Hi,

Can anyone confirm what it is I'm wiping before I attempt a custom rom, (stock rooted, Franco kernel) as instructions are always,

Wipe data and dalvik cache??

Sorry but beginner here, Titanium backup installed also.
[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
Wipe data and dalvik cache is enough to start a clean flash with a new ROM. And you delete usually every installed app. Titanium Backup is a solid solution as well. Is that what you were asking for?

EDIT: And with the apps its configuration is lost, as well.
[Nexus 5 General] brenmi:
Yes, pretty much, was just concerned about contacts and settings.

So I would obviously have to reinstall all apps, or just restore apps only from Titanium?

Then do fresh back up after? Which will then give me a choice because I'll have two backups, one before and one after.

And flashing gapps, just reinstalls the Google apps?

Sorry, just want to be certain before trying any custom roms?
[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
You would have to reinstall all apps, but Titanium Backup can do this for you with its batch functionality. Pro version is much more comfortable here, if you have many apps installed.

Short timeline.

1. Backup

2. Wipe data and cache in custom recovery

3. Install custom ROM

4. Install Gapps

5. If you like to, install custom kernel/mods/anything

6. Boot device, install Titanium Backup from Play Store and restore all apps

If you flash the same custom ROM in a newer version in the future, you don't have to reflash the Gapps anymore, but you still have to flash kernel and mods after.
[Nexus 5 General] brenmi:
That's great, explains all for me, just what I was looking for, much appreciated.

Seems like, once you get used to doing this it doesn't take long restore things anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
Oh good. :D

I usually have always a working ROM and Gapps and a Titanium Backup on my device. If I break something or a nightly ROM does not boot properly, I make a full wipe, flash ROM, Gapps and restore the apps. It's so comfortable compared to installing a new system on the computer.

Let us know what you installed and how it's working for you :)

Honestly, I also had this thought. But in short, finally no. This would start a very big discussion about loving this and hating that ROM/kernel because of xyz. Normally discussions are not bad, but they should take place somewhere else. That's what I think. Also, if 10.000 users like a very common ROM/kernel, the new users or undecided users won't even try out anything else but the most beloved. I really would like to see a poll like this, because I am also interested in this topic. In this index I try to be unbiased. It's ok talking about your personal experiences, but rating ROMs/kernels should take place in another thread. Maybe you start a thread with a poll like this?

Nexus 5 Battery Issue after Root

Hi guys,

Recently i've been in doubt about root or not my Nexus 5. For some reasons like, Titanium app, and other who i can't use without superuser permission i've decided to root my phone. I read like 20 different topic and guide before doing that, But ,once time done something is gone wrong. My batterylife now is kind burned or something like. Before rooting my battery life could survive something like 2d and 6h . Now i can't reach 16h!! Before rooting the only process which drain massively my battery was the display, after rooted the process which burn my battery is the Android OS. ( No sense ). So i tried to search on google and in this forum but i couldn't find any solution. That's why i come here asking if someone had this problem too and if can be fixed. I really don't wanna change my phone.

Thanks advanced.

HJames.
[Nexus 5 General] michianamcr:
I'm suspecting that you made some changes prior to rooting that you haven't yet duplicated. Things such as turning off the hotword detection in Now, changing gps to device only, screen brightness and sleep timeout, etc.

Do a search for battery saving changes for KitKat and you should get back to your prior battery life.

Just rooting and not flashing a different rom would not have made any changes to the operating system or kernel. All it would do is reset the phone back to it's initial state, just like doing a factory reset and wiping the data partition.
