I have been using this rom since i had nexus 5 and the last update ive had the best battery life on a phone ...i can go 3 to 4 days texting and talking constantly which is fantastic !!:) just make another update with multi window and this will be my rom for years to come lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NYCguy2020:
Not holding my breath for any future updates :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MrCatalyst:
Y'all need to calm down.

DK isn't the best, and neither is Mahdi ROM. That's all up to the user and what they like. Had DK been truly the best, how come Mahdi ROM is still around and getting updates? Why do people use inferior ROM if there's DK, which is oh-so-better!? Stupid people, I tell you!

For some, Android device is the best. For others, it'll be an iPhone. Both have their own features, faults, and so on, but it's all up to the actual user.

The only way in which one ROM may be superior to another is more features, or - to be specific - features which the user really is looking for. I've switched to PAC because it combines 3 ROMs in one, nightlies (and DK is currently on hold), and the fact it has lockscreen notifications - something that official CM11 doesn't, and that has held me back from trying out the official CM11.

DK is good in its own right. I don't like it - for now - due to month of no updates, for whatever reason, hence why I've posted before that those who want to switch until DK v20 is out, should go for PAC. Both are good, but there's also loyalty to the Developer (just like customer loyalty). PAC is in Alpha and it's all about nightlies - unstable for some. DK is a stable ROM, so it's better for those who want more (than Stock), and a stable OS to run on their phone.

If you gonna start petty arguments, take it over PMs or don't at all. There's no "best" nor "worst", but all opinions. If one ROM lacks features, that doesn't make it inferior - perhaps these features are useless for someone, therefore the "inferior" ROM is the best for them. Nothing else. Opinionated, not a fact.

Does anyone noticed more and more random reboots when using Feedly ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ApriliaM3:
Can everyone get back on-topic here please and quit with the Best ROM posts in particular...

It's not a discussion that's acceptable on XDA and it's also disrespectful to the OP of this thread.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Thanks to all who have condemned such posts.

Perhaps we could open up a discussion regarding features that have been implemented but are less known by some people. A compilation of sorts. That way, we could redirect anyone with the same questions over and over (i.e. the black screen YouTube glitch) there, as well as teach even more experienced users something new.

I can't right now, seeing as it's 11:30 and I have to finish a paper, but I (or someone else) could start it tomorrow, depending on the desire for something along those lines.

Hello, i have the v18, i have tried the v19, but it was all bugged...

Why it drains alot of battery (When the screen is locked) with data enabled???
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tatico28:
V18 plus latest franco excellent battery life ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] EpicChineseTime:
I will try franco kernel :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
This morning, I woke up and Apollo wouldn't work. It would play songs from the widget I have, but it force closes every time I try to use the app itself. I've rebooted, reflashed DK, and disabled the Xposed module I installed yesterday (that kept Viper4Android from stopping), to no avail.

Suggestions?

Edit: I found a backup and it worked initially, but now it doesn't work again. This is great.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Bytecode:
You're telling me that weird YT glitch isn't kernel related? And is there a way to fix it? If not I need a replacement for this rom until update, how's Mahdi rom compared to this? New features? I'm not saying that one is better just asking for guidance.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Synyster06Gates:
I believe it was a problem with all early CM ROMs, but is now fixed with later CM sources. I'm running PAC right now and it works great. I really wish DK would get an update, I miss it quite a bit.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sledge3n8:
I had to flash a custom kernel (ElementalX) when I flashed v19 and the kernel cured my fast battery drain problem.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dz1:
What ElementalX kernel do I use for Android 4.4.1/4.4.2 or for Cyanogenmod and CAF Roms for dkang rom
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sledge3n8:
ElementalX .29 on up. I am running .32, which is buried deep in the thread. .29 and up all have CAF compatible versions. You will like the kernel. I will see if I can find the page and post the link...

Great rom but you tube!! I need it because I have a daughter that loves watching singing shows on it. :) is there a way to fix it? it works but after a few videos, I have to force closes cause of black screen.. I read thru the thread but can seem to find an answer.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
There's a YouTube update today. Wonder if that would help. I'll give it a try. :)

Edit: updated YouTube on v19. Watched well over 10 videos with no problem.

Edit 2: unfortunately, YouTube still broken after more videos watched. Lol. Oh well.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Google wouldn't cater to ROM users. It respects the community, but they'd get in a lot of trouble.

And again, don't detract from the thread by talking about other projects.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
pretty sure they wouldn't but it was an update that could have help or not. I was just testing it. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vnvman:
I think this is not entirely ROM related. I'm experiencing the same issue since yesterday, and mind you I've been on Cataclysm since last year, without YouTube failing to launch a single time (except for random wtf moments, crashes and hangs but goog gon goog I guess). Still no good news to report, even after today's update. I wonder what's up with the damn app...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Bronyr:
Love the ROM but frequent BT disconnects just not fixed yet ...:(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ApriliaM3:
Guys I've had a cleanup here and I don't want to be returning for the same reasons.

If the developer is MIA for some time, so what?

People have lives and surprise, surprise... maybe XDA is not the most important thing on their mind at the moment.

If you donated some coin, so what? A donation is just that. A donation.

A donation on XDA is generally recognized as a way of showing appreciation for work already complete... not for what you expect in the future.

This is a Development thread... so please keep future posts, Development related.

This is off-topic...sort of. A while ago some of us were asking m3dd0g if he got a red nexus. We still don't know but I wanted to let you guys know I'm getting one! I have a black one now. I am buying an N5 for my wife and I wanted to see the red in person. If I like it better I'm keeping it! I'll post pics when it comes in as long as nobody cares.

I know this is off topic but its friendly chit chat and the OP just might have gotten a red one too. ?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] smarki:
Is anyone else having problems playing videos, both using video players like MX Player, and YouTube? Sometimes when I try to watch a video, I see the progress bar jumps fast forward, no image/lagging image, sound is also choppy. I need to relaunch the app a few times, or even close the app through the processes list (this doesn't always work).

I would like to hear your thought about that, thanks

Awesome ROM paired with elementalx 32. Great work and no issues to report
[Nexus 5 Android Development] docsparks:
Just to save you some headache, its a common issue that no one has had the time to respond to, but there is no fix. Best bet: move to a new rom, which? No idea either.

I tried it, I didn't like it much. The only better feature it has, in my opinion, is the quick settings ribbon. There are simply more features in DK. I'm happy with it until a new official release (still waiting on 4.5 details...).

I highly doubt dk has stalled due to a pending 4.5 release

so is it and the Rom ran, smooth, greate with ART and Elemental X v.34.

What will you more!!

Droid Kang v 19 run better like many other Rom here with KVT 49L :cool::cool:

The build number is never important, but what's under the hood and how stable the Rom's what you offer and what you can.

And Droid Kang can many...:D

Nice Day...

You can want the latest fixes and patches from CM. This ROM does run smooth, but it desperately needs updates. It's really unfortunate that the best ROM for the Nexus 5 has been abandoned.

At the moment there is no official Build Rom of the Nexus 5 and KVT 49 L is from the Nexus 7.

Maybe the DEV comes back, nevertheless, and does build to us then the V20 ....??

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Spider_Pig27:
Guys if you guys miss a lot of this custom features you guys can get them back with modules from exposed. Especially gravity box KK. Also there's an app called nils in the playstore which is free and I personally like it better for lockscreen notifications since a lot cleaner and can be themed. So you guys really don't have to sit around waiting for updates. Just saying. In the end it's your choice. Just remember this devs do have a life they don't just sit here updating stuff.

I was quite unluckly, twice!

I bought my first N5 or release day and Cataclysm was the most promising ROM back then and it's apparently no longer maintained... Now same story hear...LOL

Please bear in mind I'm not complaining, I've been using this ROM since V5 and it's been improving release after release. I say thank you to the developer.

I recommend you guys try AICP, it's looking a really promising project.

By the way, I can no longer find desktop/immersive mode in this ROM, where is it? I can only activate it adding a button to the power menu.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] sledge3n8:
Lol! My friend, it has been almost 2 months since the last DK update. You might want to go and try a ROM with all of the new bug fixes and improvements and just keep an eye on this thread like many users are doing now, waiting for m3dd0gs return (whom I no longer think will be back). It appears there are only a few users who are still using the antiquated DK v18/19 ROMs. DroidKang is a good ROM, but lots of others are now better than DK. I understand that "better" is a very relative, personal opinion, so I am referring more to bug fixes and performance improvements to CM source itself.

Good luck and HAPPY FLASHING! :victory:

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Lol! You can come out of your cave now! It is safe out here in the real world (well in some places at least)! :fingers-crossed: Yes, DK USED to be "the best" and I'm sure it WILL be again when all of the updated, improved CM source code is finally merged into this ROM. Go try a few of the updated ROMs out there and you will no longer say this one is the best. There are obvious performance improvements in the updated source that don't even require a benchmark test to see because you can see and feel them without it.

As far as options and features go, DK used to lead the pack, which is why it got to be so popular so quickly. But now there are so many other options that go beyond where this old ROM is currently stuck.

This is ALL personal opinion, so those of you who are happy with v19, awesome! Continue to be happy! For those of you on the fence, well, you only live once! Go try something new. You never know, you might just like it ;) You can always go back to DK. Peace out Bro's and keep an eye on this thread if you move on for now! Haters, feel free to flame me but don't expect a response.

Remember: Always Nandroid first!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] drdoulittle:
So I think you're sleeping on the tree? :confused:

I have tested other, current Rom here and I can't say is not better than the old CM 11 source v19.

Other ROM will run slightly faster, but have more error like DeskClock (FC), screenrecoder (FC), video / camera (FC), etc.

So I need not only mileage, but stability and which can currently offer no Rom under KVT 49 L.

The only ROM that runs really well great CM 11 / build 16 crDroid and everything else on AOSP is not basis for me acceptable to try come too many compatibility problems with them.

This is also my opinion and I'm already so long Android, so what does not blind me and I am sick every day to install a different ROM to determine that it does not work!:D

okay come new Build from Nexus 5 (Image) test new Build and hope the Dev come back and make v20:laugh:

good Luck my Friend!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sledge3n8:
Lol, no, I am not sleeping on a tree, but it sounds like it could be fun (as long as I didn't fall out)!

I am glad that you are content with DK because it is a nice ROM. It would be nice if everyone could find a ROM where they were happy. I as well am happy with the ROM that I am on and I will definitely be back to give DK another try when/if it is updated!

I can remember first google tablet xoom, there was brilliant TEAM EOS , CM and many many more, updates were floding us even on holidays . Now it looks like developers have less fun with cooking , just hope it will change soon othervise in 2years time we will only have cm
[Nexus 5 Android Development] drdoulittle:
Hi sledge3n8

If there a new Google image is to Nexus 5 and then the Droid Kang is not updated, I must likewise search new Rom. However, at the moment it is not necessary yet, because I see like other her Rom are based and what you insert and it resembles more a building site where single holes are closed. A problem is repaired and another problem appears. Now has tested 7 Rome and except crDroid everything run with certain mistakes or do not have Features well work. Unfortunately, I must always after 2 days back to the Backup of the Droid Kang Rom.

The Kernel Elemental X is careful really smooth and Battery friendly, that is Fakt.

Time see what still comes and I wanted to modify the Droid Kang quite wide, however, it is not my Rom, thus I let my modifications flow in and uses the Droid Kang like I would like to have and am more than contently.

nice weekend :good:
