I've encountered a weird bug... Whenever i add two CM12 themes together(for example : Coalfield - fonts, navigation bar, and MaterialUp - status bar, wallpaper, boot animation) if i reboot a couple of times or reboot with changing my dpi it goes into a bootloop. If i don't add these themes and reboot, etc its working fine. Noticed this with all ROM's including the non-bokroms. Any ideas why? Thanks. Ill try to post a logcat later.

No doubt this is most important thread in nexus 5 forum. Can you please post a changelog or put updated thread on every sections 1st in OP?
[Nexus 5 General] rob420p:
This is always my go 2
[Nexus 5 General] jugoslavpetrovic:
So AWESOME thread, thanks the most, all in one place.
[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
Thanks a lot, feeling honored somehow :o.

A changelog would be too much additional work. But actually I sort the threads chronologically in each section. For example check the "AOSP ROMs - Android Development" section. On top there you can find the thread with the latest changes, based on my own reviewing date (currently 31 Oct 2015). With latest changes I mean the changes within the first post usually. The next reviewing will take place tomorrow or on Sunday. As I have quite a few device index threads to maintain, it'll take a while to go through all threads.

Thanks guys for the nice words. The threads is helpful for me as well, haha. Hope you will stay aside with your Nexus 5 and keep enjoying this index. :laugh:

[Nexus 5 General] rachanta:
[MENTION=4465234]benkxda[/MENTION] do you think it's time to classify ROMs and Kernels as Permissive or Enforcing. It's disappointing either way if you are looking for enforcing and find the ROM / Kernel permissive or the other way round.
[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
Honestly, I didn't have a problem with that yet. But I know, it might lead to a disappointing experience at search results, like you said. The best way would be, the thread title of the ROM/kernel includes the proper information on this.

The other way would be splitting threads in the index another time. Currently the Nexus 5 index thread has 4 ROM sections. After I overtook my latest index thread, I was told to keep the existing layout, where ROMs are listed in only one section. The best thing would be in the middle: 1x AOSP, 1x Stock (based), not splitting in Development and Original Development.

Back to the former topic, I prefer to not split something within the index another time, nor do I want to find out which ROM/kernel is enforcing/permissive. Do you maybe have a good solution?
[Nexus 5 General] rachanta:
I don't have a solution, but its a pain that developers are in general keeping mum about it. Most often nothing in the op mentions anything about enforcing and permissive.

Bliss 6 stared with 6.0.1 beta
[Nexus 5 General] zerosum0:
Damn right we will! The Nexus 5 - the phone that won't die;). Just got a used 32gig as storage was the only issue for me.
[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
Yes, the storage... I also have the 32 GB variant. But as I use at least two devices (private and business) there is always enough juice in the battery and enough storage for pictures and music.

Nevertheless, back in 2012 I bought an OTG cable on Amazon, which helped me with my 16 GB Galaxy Nexus before, just plugged in a small sized 16 GB USB stick (similar to this one). Today I use the OTG cable in combination with a tablet as a mobile charger for smartphones.

If the ROM of your choice doesn't support OTG USB drives out of the box, you can add Stickmount, but at least the kernel has to support it, you probably know about that.

Compared to my other device indexes, none is on the Nexus 5 level in terms of development/mods/themes etc. threads yet and I don't see a change soon.
[Nexus 5 General] jugoslavpetrovic:
Moved from beta to official in fresh new thread, link in my signature visible on desktop browser.
[Nexus 5 General] Dodgexander:
Just a suggestion, but would it be possible to separate roms between CMTE and layers? So many roms now are switching to CMTE it would make it easier to filter.
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
Good news :)

Do you know why?
[Nexus 5 General] Dodgexander:
I'm not sure, I don't favour the changes myself. Too many roms now the same. Screwed was the last with a good feature set that had layers. Now it joins the rest.

Hello and welcome! Here are some good resources to start with:

http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-and-unlock-the-google-nexus-5-xda-developer-tv/

Once you are ready it is normal to take a nandroid backup and then flash as many ROM's as you can and try them all for a while. You will then get a feel for what is common among them and which ones with unique features you like. After you get a feel for features, battery life etc. you can read features and changelogs for ROM's you haven't tried to see if they are candidates for future flashing. At some point you will most likely settle on the "best" ROM for you.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Hi friends.

I read there is soms issues with Pure Nexus and Chroma rom with battery.

I have a 2 weeks old battery, with Scrw'd rom, nice rom, amazing fast, but battery drain alot. Did a reset, clean (no dirty), new rom/build, tried stock/elementalx kernel.

But still drain my new 2 weeks old battery.

anyone knows and good stable/batteryfriendly rom? thnkx
[Nexus 5 General] matgras:
stock or a close to stock rom will give you the best battery life, a slight underclock may or may not help as well.

also check the actual battery capacity with antutu
[Nexus 5 General] momotizzati:
Hi all

I have ex kernel and ax kernel manager. There is any settings to keep performance that improve battery life? Like the one for Nexus 6p or 5x.

For a couple of months I'am searching for a adequate ROM for me, but I did not find it. Till now I have used Slim 5.1.1. beta 0.12. (see figure 1 for complete information) but I'am seeking for a Marshmallow with few options which I heavily use on Slim 5.1.1.

1) launcher on which 5X5 icons can be placed (see figure 3).

2) launcher which will correctly show Aix Weather widget like in a figure 2

3) Manage LCD brightness by sliding across status bar

4) Rigth or left edge quick pulldown

5) Long press turn on button while phone is locked turn flashlight

6) Power off and advanced reboot menu (reboot, recovery, soft reboot, flashboot)

7) Gapps with calendar 6, and google CAMERA 2 app compatible with chosen ROM

Does anybody knows which Marshmallow ROM and compatible mini GAPPS provide all this fatures?
[Nexus 5 General] Mackie Messer:
I didn't try but there is already a Slim6 alpha 0.10 for the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
you could use latest stock 6.0.1 rooted and xposed with gravity box module. has all your mentioned features.
[Nexus 5 General] DTFuser:
I'am not sure if this combination has all my requirements or maybe I does not know how to set them up. I just installed your combination and I cannot manage following requirements.

2) There is just option for 5x2 Aix Weather widget and I need 4x1

5) In Gravity box module I can not find option for:"Long press turn on button while phone is locked turn flashlight", but this is not crucial since there must be some module which allows that

7) Unfortunately stock rom comes with calendar version 5, not 6. It is not problem to install calendar 6 but it could be problem to remove calendar 5 from system in order to free memory. My Nexus is 16GB version and any MB is valuable. Also stock rom comes with many apps which I don't use and I would like to get rid of them to free some space. Is it enough to just delete particular app from /Data/app/desired_google_app or there also somewhere system puts files from this apps. Also what would happen to stability of system if I just delete non desired apps in this manner?

Does anybody has some suggestion about requirements particularly requirements 2) and 7)?
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
to 2.

i dont use that launcher function in GB, while I have nova launcher, but there are several other modules to tweak the stock launcher. I would suggest first to ask in GB threat

to 5.

its under "navigation key actions / lockscreen torch"

to 7.

you can uninstall all apps you like to, including system apps via titanium backup from play store.
[Nexus 5 General] DTFuser:

[Nexus 5 General] Ebra92:
Hi all. So right now I'm using cm13 rom with greenify and amplify, but I'm not very happy with my screen on time. Will flashing a custom kernel help? and if so, which one? I care about performance,stability,battery life (screen on time to be specific) (there's almost no battery drain during off screen), and also theming, and so I care about everything,lol. I don't play games or use heavy usage but I do hate lags when performing light tasks. Should I try cm13 with franco kernel for instance? or another rom?

So, to rephrase and make it short, what is the best combination between rom and kernel for :

1)performance stability (no lag/bugs..etc)

2) screen on time (and battery life in general)

3) theming

I'm on nexus 5 ofc, I did try finding comparisons but I reached no conclusions
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
There's a while I didn't try custom ROMs since Dirty Unicorns + blu_spark are perfect for stability and performance with awesome features and DU includes CMTE.

As for me, CyanogenMod is THE rom to flash to enjoy custom themes (the source of the theme engine) but not a good ROM for performance and stability (nightlies).

Feel free to try many custom ROMs to make your own choice.

SOT: no matter the custom rom/kernel, you should almost have the same SOT. However your apps have the biggest impact on your battery life. Keep using Amplify but replace GApps by microG and remove any crappy apps like Facebook, Google Now...

DISACLAIMER: this is MY point of view :p
[Nexus 5 General] Ebra92:
I will check micro G. I can't give up facebook though. Just one more question, installing a new kernel will not contradict with amplify, will it? thx for reply
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
No, it won't.

Even if you want to use Facebook, you can give a try to 3rd party apps (less memory/battery consumption, more privacy friendly).

[Nexus 5 General] benkxda:
In fact a good question. Some moderator(s) decided to remove the pin and un-stick this thread (actually I don't know which moderator(s) was/were in charge). Someone told me, that this thread was un-sticked, moderators did not inform me. They put it in a long time ago already closed sticky roll-up thread. They also never made an attempt to re-stick it.

This un-sticking action was followed by long discussions, the result was not really satisfying. However, as the sticky roll-up was closed long time ago, they might already have forgotten about the Nexus 5. Not me. I will keep this thread up to date quite longer, even I sold my device long time ago.

I know, this thread is hard to find since it's hidden in the sticky roll-up thread, I even recognized decreasing thread view. But bookmark the URL address or subscribe to this thread alternatively.

Nougat lineage or darkrom?
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
Kernel is a user depending thing. I would go inbuild stock with the ROM that you use or Ex, but it's on you.

Lineage nougat is the most up to date (security level) but from now on no longer supported, and darkrom (lineage based) was feature rich and my favorite over long periods but I changed it to lineage because of ongoing development and security patches.

I am really feeling sick, when I see this kind of device destruction.

BTW, yesterday, just for a short time, the black 16 GB model of the G2 was available for 415 EUR at Amazon, which is about 573 USD. After the news sites and blogs posted that great price, Amazon set the price to 479 EUR and currently it is at 439 EUR. The black 32 GB model is currently at 690 EUR (951 USD) - way to expensive. And things could be so easy, but for the white models the prices differ of the black ones.

I would be really happy with the black 32 GB Nexus 5 which includes... just more than 2,3 Ah battery and costs 400 EUR (552 USD). :fingers-crossed:
