The link says 926 so is this for the xt926 or will it also work on the xt925? I'm a little afraid to go onward without a little more info but it does sound like a nice ROM to try out :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] legend221:
This is what I've been able to find for you Safe Strap users: " I have this ROM running via safe strap right now. Built it out last night.

SS 3.12

My procedure: Erased rom slot 1 completely by doing standard cache wipes and wiping the OS. Then activated a different ROM slot. Then clicked rom slot 1 and deleted it.

Rebuilt rom slot 1 with a 2 gig partition. Did all the standard wipes again before I installed. Mounted system only, unchecked other boxes. Installed ROM. Once this ROM was installed wiped cache and dalvik cache & booted, no issues to report yet"

wifi not work

my device is 925, and I own the safestrap procedure that legend221 described. The rom flashed normally, but the wifi does not work.

What could have happened?
[RAZR HD Android Development] legend221:
I removed the kernel in post #2 as it was an alternative for the Rom but not a requirement.

Performed a full wipe and re flashed just the Rom by itself and it fixed my wifi issue at a local hotspot.

I use mobile data 99 percent of the time so I never noticed before.

Try the same and let us know if you can connect now.
[RAZR HD Android Development] danzituh:
I installed with CWM and now it worked. It's a pity I have not got the safestrap = /
[RAZR HD Android Development] legend221:
Glad to hear.

I don't have safestrap and am unlocked. Being unlocked is better than having safestrap as some users have tried to unlock but their phones are already upgraded so they cannot unlock their phones anymore.

You should be happy you are unlocked :)

Is there an option in this ROM to remove the soft keys at the bottom of the screen? I use PIE Controls and don't need or want the built-in soft keys. I'd prefer to have the screen real estate. If that option exists I'd love to give this ROM a try.

Backup

Hey guys, am really android newbie with my first Android phone ever, I`ve red the guides and tutorial, few things want to clarify:

1/ I want to make FULL backup of device - is there a way to make CLONE of all content of the phone before I start using it and customising, rooting etc? I guess the right word for this is Nandroid, right? From reading to do a Nandroid, I have to install custom recovery into phone which doesnt make sense as I would like to backup it without any modification made. Any advice?

2/ What about some easy tool to run on computer, connect phone via USB cable, turn to recovery mode and perform full backup this way???

Since I will have full backup I can start messing with the rest, thx for answer
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Making a nandroid when you first get your phone is a perfect way to start. You do need to do it in the custom recovery. It'll back up your system and data. If you ever want to return the phone to a like new, right out of the box, you can flash the factory image to do that. Look in the development forum for the factory image.

Good luck on your experience and keep reading and learning. It's the best thing you can do.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
Just out of curiosity, what purpose does a nandroid image of a new/unused/uncustomized phone serve? In case of issues, isn't flashing the factory image going to do the same?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Restoring the nandroid is a little easier then flashing the image. I just like to have a nandroid as I start playing with apps, some of which I won't keep. That way I can easily go back to a clean slate. Also if you ever have a bad flash flashing custom roms you have something on your phone to fall back to.
[Nexus 5 General] .jond:
Thanks!

Yeah, coming from an HTC EVO LTE on Sprint.

With the EVO, if you didn't grab s-off when there happened to be an exploit, you could lose the opportunity for months.

HTC offered a root tool, but it didn't S-Off, and would also watermark the boot screen showing that you rooted it(thus voiding any warranty).

Glad to be on Nexus now....
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
ok. I've always created a nandroid backup as well, but only for non-Nexus devices (kinda harder to get the factory image at times), and/or after making changes to get the phone customized just right (screens/apps/settings etc) - hence the question :)

Thanks

Can I do the nandroid backup of stock rom?

[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Yes, of course you can. Just make one right after you install a custom recovery
[Nexus 5 General] FireStorm@:
Is there a difference in using different backup tools?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Yes, they all backup slightly different and generally are not compatible with each other. Which tools are you considering?

Since I am a new user, I do not have a certain backup in my mind, what do you suggest? Which one is the most user friendly?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
If you have a custom recovery you should make a backup, nandroid, in it. Also, backup your phone to Google, settings, backup and reset. And use titanium backup. That'll cover you

[Nexus 5 General] deepakanand:
Hi,

Have few questions :

1. If I take backup using TWRP, will it create a new backup or it will override the old backup file?

2. Also, if I reflash kernel, will it have any effect on any other data/cache?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] xBeerdroiDx:
every time you make a backup in recovery, it creates an entirely new backup file.

are you asking if it's ok to reflash a kernel that you are currently already on? like an updated version? yes, that is ok to and wont affect data or cache.
[Nexus 5 General] KaylordTheuZ:
Hello guys and thanks for this thread ;)

I tried to read almost everything but there are now some concepts which are not that clear:

1) I just want to gain root access in order to manage every app's permission... I know that bootloader must be opened in order to gain root so I will lose everything on my phone.

I also read that anyway, OTA updates will be guaranteed flawlessly even on rooted phones (so, I'll get the notification of eventual updates like non-rooted phones, right?).

Given that I haven't anything of important on the phone (but anyway, would you suggest an APP to make a backup?), I could go both with adb/fastboot methods or with a tool (Wug's one, for example).

But then I found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47164660

Is there something that could interest me? What precisely a "Modem" module is, and .. should I take an EFS backup?!? How could I "break" the actual one on my phone so that I need a backup?

2) I'm in doubt whether installing a custom recovery or not... What will happen in case on an OTA update?

The custom recovery will be replaced by the standard one or not?

Can a custom recovery compromise the success of an OTA update?

I'm coming from an old, glorious Nexus S, which have been rooted and modded with lots of custom roms and modules... after Google support ended. I'm actually a bit worried as I don't wan't to compromise any OTA update that N5 will for sure have ...

Could you help me with some info on these points ? Thanks in advance :D

[Nexus 5 General] Spottswoode:
I just went through this process today and this happened to me also.

Two things to do:

1. Turn on USB Degbugging in Settings > About Phone > Build Number (tap on it like 5 times)

2. Get the latest Nexus 5 usb drivers - Search google for "google nexus 5 usb drivers" and grab them from one of the first two sources. Unzip them somewhere on your PC.

Plug your device into Windows and go to Device Manager. Find the nexus phone, right-click it and Update Driver. Point it to the "usb_driver" folder and let it install the drivers.

You should be good to go after that.
[Nexus 5 General] Darksteel5:
Could someone go into a little more detail about when to wipe and what you should wipe on your device when flashing ROMs and kernels? Is there a general rule? Does it depend on the specific ROM/kernel? Does the "direction" matter:

stock ROM --> custom ROM

custom ROM --> custom ROM

custom ROM --> stock ROM

stock kernel --> custom kernel

custom kernel --> custom kernel

custom kernel --> stock kernel

Is each case different? Thanks.

When flashing a rom you should wipe system, boot, dalvik, and cache. Dint need to wipe when flashing a kernel.

Nice guide! I hope you don't mind if I add

my tip: battery life-

I know alot of people are experiencing poor battery life like I am, I can barely make it through an 8 hour shift of work. So last night I finally tried turning off Location completely, and turning off sync (with the sync icon that's next to the brightness, on the stock Power Control widget) and my battery stayed at exactly the same percentage for an hour. With sync and Location on, the battery always went down quite a few percentage points every hour- I realize these numbers aren't very scientific, lol, it was the last hour of work and I just wanted to try and make the battery last a bit longer. I plan to test this out for the full 8 hours tonight. Anyway, I just thought I'd share, because I've always known that it would help, but I really didn't want to turn off Location because I didn't think it would make enough of a difference to justify the loss of functionality(like Maps and whatever else needs location info). I will edit this post tomorrow with my results

Update: check these results out! That's better! :cool: I just wanted to share how much of a difference it can make, turning off Location and Sync (note: I had wifi turned off the whole time, my only guess as to why it says wifi used so much? I did turn Location on a couple times for about 60 seconds each time- weird)
