Stock plus root for me this time round. I did the whole Kernel and Rom flashing thing with my Nexus 4 but it gets old after a while. Also the Nexus 5's battery life is much better so no need for custom kernels ect.
[Nexus 5 General] petard:
Really I just want a way to customize my nav bar and my quick toggle tiles. I'm pretty sure I need a custom ROM for that unfortunately, I'd prefer to stick with stock if I could make those modifications.
[Nexus 5 General] wolverineclaws:
Yeah I'm on rooted stock to. Want to stay that way. Waiting for the exposed framework mod though. Just to add the little things I can't do without in my phone like volume rocker to skip tracks, customizable quick toggles and a kill all button in recent apps. I don't know why Google hasn't added a torch to quick toggles yet. Roms have had that for ages. Freak, the iPhone even has it now!
[Nexus 5 General] P.Mobile:
yea bettery life is ok on the nexus 5.. but its even better with a custom kernel :)
[Nexus 5 General] wolverineclaws:
You should check out exposed framework. Hopefully it will be available soon but it's exactly what you're looking for. I stopped with the whole Rom flashing desk when I found it about it
[Nexus 5 General] torana355:
I bet it is but im getting over 5 hours SOT atm as im constantly on the phone as it new, im usually a light user so i will get 2 days of my usage once i start using it how i normally would. I prefer to get the OTA updates.
[Nexus 5 General] Z51:
Kitkang or kangbang whatever it's called plus custom kernel. Loving this device even more
[Nexus 5 General] digweed4me:
Cataclysm baby perfect amount of features just needs little bit of polish. Aosp keyboard with numbers row.
[Nexus 5 General] blacknet101:
Ohhhhh that keyboard! Can you please provide a link! :D
[Nexus 5 General] Z51:
I concur. Share please :D
[Nexus 5 General] HiddenSanctum:
It is part of the Cataclysm rom, don't think you can just extract the keyboard out though since the settings to do it aren't under the language & input but Cataclysm settings itself. If you flash it, go into Cataclysm settings in the settings -> AOSP keyboard layout -> enable 5th number row
[Nexus 5 General] columbo67:
I believe you need stock recovery to get ota.
[Nexus 5 General] BirchBarlow:
Stock ROM, rooted. At this point, pretty much all the custom ROMs are alpha build/experimental which I don't do. I do plan to try out popular ones like AOSP and CyanogenMod once they're more stable.
[Nexus 5 General] Pekempy:
Cataclysm and Franco kernel is treating me nicely

You can receive stock OTA. If you stock and rooted provided that's all you have messed with. So you only lose root in that case.

Chainfire survival mode can save your root though. And just restore after the update.

[Nexus 5 General] :
I'm running unlocked, rooted and with the faux custom kernel.

Otherwise I'm stock and likely will be for the phone's duration. I may switch up the kernel, but unlikely the ROM.
[Nexus 5 General] zephiK:
Cataclysm + Faux 002b02. Cataclysm has just about every feature I like, a lot of features that you'd typically expect from a 4.3.X ROM.
[Nexus 5 General] Boonyard:
What I'd really like is a stock ROM with just a couple of tweaks like being able to change the quick panels, add torch etc. I can't seem to find one though...
[Nexus 5 General] splashattack:
Stock. This is my first android phone I haven't felt needed to be rooted and modified in any way.

Is WiFi signal strength better or more stable with custom rom?

Xplodwild, Entropy and a few other ex-CM developers now works OmniRom: http://omnirom.org

Im impressed with them, for example, Omni 4.4 (alpha) is already available on SGS3 and works very good for Alpha.
[Nexus 5 General] enaybee:
Stock + root for now.

Root for ads removal and TiBu restore/backup of course.

Stock because so far I am liking it. Its smooth, fast and gives me a great battery life.

I am waiting for Slim or AOKP to come out then I will feed my ORD.

I'm still debating if I'm going to keep my Nexus 5 or S4, but stock is too bland. I miss my advanced volume settings, a reboot option, quick toggles, and my circle battery. Hopefully CM official builds don't take to o long. (:

[Nexus 5 General] d.kozzer:

As per my signature. I've never had a Nexus before so I want to run stock for a while to see the subtleties between that and AOSP.

I'f like to see PAC though. I'm missing some features.
[Nexus 5 General] cooooooop:
Tried slimkat alpha first, it was great but limited features right now. Excited to see it develop.

Now on Cataclysm, tons of features. Also got Pie Control from the Play Store and set NavHeight to 0, huzzah! Full Screen!
[Nexus 5 General] vvarma1:
I'm currently running Cataclysm + Faux's kernel. I find that Cataclysm seems to have the most features that are useful for me.
[Nexus 5 General] Pard0ned:
This is my first nexus. Stock is going to be it for me, for a while. Quite like the stock experience so far anyways, if only Nova would hurry with that update I'd be right at home. :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troedi:
Hi!

Because I didn't get any answer in the help-thread I try it this way.

When you receive a phone call on your XZ, does the screen turn on again when you move the phone away from your ear?

This problem drives me crazy! Every phone call (active and passive...) the display of my phone turns off (as it should) when I put the phone to my ear. When I put the phone away from my head, the screen doesn't turn on again. I always have to press the power button to enable the display again. In rare cases, the display turns on as it should. But when a phone call is longer than a few seconds, the display won't turn on again.

The only reason for this problem I've found on the internet is the usage of a screen-protector. Actually I have a screen protector installed, but is has a cutout around the proximity sensor. I've also tested the proximity sensor with an app - it turns on/off correctly when I move my hand in front of the phone...

Does anybody of you experience this issue? I've tried a lot of firmware versions, but it's everytime the same... No matter if I use CM10.2 or different stock roms...

I hate it so much - not being able to stop a call before being redirected to an answering machine only because this piece of shi*** refuses to turn on the display during a call.

I'm looking forward to your answers - I can't imagine that my XZ is the only one that shows this behaviour.

Regards
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troedi:
is there really nobody with any screen on/off during call problems? can't imagine that my XZ is the only one... or is there an android-"feature" I donn't know? ;)

I've already removed my screen protector... but nothing has changed...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3taker:
I also have this problem frequently, i enabled power button to end calls under accessibility setting so if i press it, it ends the call, so could be partial solution to allow you to end calls, but not a real solution at all if you want an option not to end the call but to have the screen turn on only. Let me know if you find any other solutions
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troedi:
Actually stopping phone calls isn't my main problem. But it annoys me that I can't check the current time by removing the phone from my head for a second. Also when I have to interact with an answering machine (windows activation hotline for example^^) - everytime I have to input a number during a call this f*cking screen is off and I have to press the power button.

Don't people use their XZ for making telephone calls? Am I the only person on earth who uses the phone for other things than watching movies and surfing the net?

I also want to know if this is a general Jelly-Bean problem... If so, replacing my phone with another one would be meaningless.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmiswm:
Press the power button twice to activate the screen during call.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troedi:
Pressing the power button ONCE also works to turn on the screen during a call. But that's the point. I do not want to press this damn power button. What does the phone has a proximity sensor for??? When I start a call and remove the phone from my head after a few seconds, the screen will mostly turn on itself. But after a while (a minute or longer) moving the phone away from the head will not turn on screen anymore...

Is it too hard for phone manufacturers to build a phone that can be used as a phone? If I wanted to have a tablet I would have bought one...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troedi:
Problem solved. I have a Nexus5 now and it is just awesome. May the new owner get angry with this piece of sony sh*t.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristophers:
Turn off phone

Press firmly on proximity sensor

Turn on phone

Once on main screen

Press firmly on proximity sensor

Try to make a call

I hope it works for you

Dear all,

I have a Droid 3 Verizon unlocked, using sim GSM and running rom XT883 normally (boot loader : 0A.64).

Does anybody know the way to flash back to stock rom of this Droid 3 and can put sim GSM to use as before ?

Because I do not like this current rom.

[Nexus 5 General] n19htmare:
I don't start many opinion threads and I've been on this site a very long time.

However, I've been seeing lot of threads come up for the NEXUS 5, regarding it's QC, and maybe questionable components. So I'll chime in and offer some of my views, for what they're worth and you can go ahead do the same.

In this day and age, a $350 smartphone (Unlocked and with no contract) is a bargain, ESPECIALLY one as capable of the Nexus 5. You guys CANNOT forget that.

This is a device that can easily handle some of the devices costing twice as much. it's a powerhouse with very up to date specs for a price that is very low.

You're getting the latest in processing power as well as graphics. You're getting an excellent screen that's large, VERY bright, very sharp with accurate color reproduction. Yes your contrast might not be as ridiculous as the OLED screens but they both have ups and downs. but come on, you forget all the negatives when you think it's a $350 device. I do atleast.

Me personally, battery life is good for me, but if it's not for you, well again, it's good, not excellent. But if you got this battery life with a $700 device, you'd be upset but at $350...........how upsent can you possible be? not to mention it's one of the very few wireless charging devices with VERY fast charge times.

Camera is Good, not a ground breaker but trust me....it's much better than other sub $350 retail phones. Compared to them, it's a gold mine of a camera.

Not to mention the software...it has the latest and during it's cycle will always be the first to have the latest.

wait....did I mention it's a $350 phone? Think about alll the feature it has at $350....... then see if you complain about the little "button rattle" you have.... which you only discovered because someone else did...... come on now..

It's one helluva a device, and if you take price into account....GOD DAMN, It's a bargain of the decade (Till the next nexus :P).

your thoughts?
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
It's a bargain no doubt. If you don't mind the cut corners in battery, speakers and camera and value latest software very highly then it's the right device for you.
[Nexus 5 General] n19htmare:
Of course, that's why it's a $350 phone, not a $650 phone :)

But given the choice of nexus 5 at $350 and a Galaxy s4 at $600.................I just couldn't justify the extra $250 for the GS4...that's me. ..... and I own both lol.
[Nexus 5 General] patriotaus:
I still think it is pretty crazy what they managed to pack into a $350 phone.

I just think these people are whingers. If they weren't whinging about this, they would have something else to whinge about.
[Nexus 5 General] avocco:
I'm not one to complain. I've just sold my HTC One and bought this. But in the UK and a lot of other countries we are paying $560 for this phone.
[Nexus 5 General] shoco:
It's a great bargain no doubt, it's just that discovering hidden flaws in a product is never pleasant, regardless of the price.

Also they try to make it pass for a no-compromise product, which inevitably sets people up for disappointment. If they just came out and said "hey, this is just a decent phone, not perfect, but the price is amazing guys" then it would be different, expectations would be different I think.

They're the one inviting comparison with $700 devices by marketing it as they do.
[Nexus 5 General] air2k57:
And what is wrong with the battery? Stock, my battery life has been very good so far.
[Nexus 5 General] Manbot27:
Posts like this is what causes contention among people. I think most people understand it's basically a steal for what you get at this price, but when you have people who act like the phone is flawless it's highly annoying. The nexus 5 is a great phone but the battery life definitely isn't one of it's strengths. Battery life is average on this phone, if you think it's great(or great with tweaks) try out other phones and you'd reconsider your definition of great.
[Nexus 5 General] Deekayy:
I'm assuming the Nexus program was an intention of to show what Google can bring to the platform through software and not hardware.. Well then.. can Google make another program where hardware matters and listen to the community of what they want without cutting corners? I'll pay for that.
[Nexus 5 General] cas8180:
I have yet to see anyone acknowledge the feet accomplished by Google. Let's look at the problem space here. We need to build a phone with a good camera. Has latest hardware specs. Performs well with new operating system as it will be a hallmark device for it. Works on major carriers. Has LTE support. Work internationally. Has international LTE support. Supports both gsm and cdma. Oh and let's not forget it needs to be half the cost of all other flagship phones! Come on people there is only one other company that is even comings close to accomplishing such feet's and that xoimi. And for now they are only China based handsets. So let's give some props where props are due. I just got my bad boy today and I am in love with it!
[Nexus 5 General] darkgoon3r96:
Many of you talk like Google Play supported countries are the only countries in the world. In many countries in Asia the Nexus 5 will cost just as much as the S4 and Htc One. In that case, it is unreasonable to see these issues in such an expensive phone. I may still buy it because of the development but please don't say that there had to be corners cut for the cheap price when in the majority of the world the phone is being sold for the equivalent of other high end phones.
[Nexus 5 General] n19htmare:
I'm sorry but what do you mean by "they try to make it pass for a no-compromise product"? Who exactly are "they"?

From my understanding, the product was launched WITHOUT any fanfare. It just mysteriously one day popped up on Google Play store.

If by "they", you mean the Tech Media and their "rumors" and leaks..... then yes, that's what they do. but the manufacturer and seller of this product never set any expectations, we set them as consumers from what we were fed by the tech media.

If you read what I said, I also said it's been good for me. Not sure about your question.

pretty much.

Lastest in processing, graphics, bluetooth, radio chipset, NFC, wireless charging (Very few phones support this), excellent software, a rather well built device, great screen, acceptable battery life, acceptable camera...... and to package it all in a $350 price tag...it's no small feat indeed. I think the more we take THAT into account, we can begin to appreciate the $350 price tag.

unfortunately, there are other economic factors that play into the pricing here when involving other countries that just out of Google's hands. Customs, taxation, economic conditions all play a role in it....... just things that can't be controlled in all cases.
[Nexus 5 General] darkgoon3r96:
Yes but in my case it is completely reasonable for me to moan about low QC, battery, speakers, and camera when I paid full price. Of course I won't be doing that because the nexus 5 is awesome for the most part. :o

It's not only hardware. It's also this f****** closed source cpu drivers with Samsung, (exynos), the considerable delay to have version updates with correct sources and so on. A lot of major companies tend to turn like Apple. (See Knox, region simlock and so on)

Google is not a charity foundation neither, but at least our devs have less pain to bring us good roms.

[Nexus 5 General] patriotaus:
12 hours usage so far today, battery is at 73%. Spent about an hour streaming music over wifi at the gym. About 1 hour of sporadic screen on time. Pretty happy with the battery.

What people forget is that when they get a new phone they tend to spend much more time than usual installing new apps, testing things out. The battery ran out on me and I started to agree with you all... until i realised i had installed 80 apps and played 3 different games for 4 hours of screen on time. (add on top of this all the stuff going on in the back ground setting things up).

[Nexus 5 General] alhadee12:
This is actually a very good phone when you look at the cost. There are other phones out there that are subsidized that lack some of the specs. It has flaws just like any other phone, but will likely get better.
[Nexus 5 General] torana355:
Exactly right OP, the other thing that people forget is that the other flagship phones have flaws aswell. The S4 uses thin plastic battery covers that give it a really cheap feel, has an average camera with bad low light performance and blueish whites thanks to the AMOLED display.
