It all comes down to your habits. I love flashing new ROM's, I sometimes try multiple ROM's per week. So for me, development means a lot. It's why I switched from the S4 to the N5. The S4 just received 4.3 and was locked down by Knox. Plus, with the N5 being an unlocked phone, you can flash any ROM on any carrier, so you won't ever have to drool over another carrier's ROM.
[Nexus 5 General] darkgoon3r96:
I also flash a ton of ROMs every week and also used to enjoy it, but I am getting tired of it now... I want to live life more than flash ROMs (if that makes sense) :P
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
Anything and everything. The top reason I don't even consider not getting a Nexus device anymore is the development scene. Look, you're viewing the huge development community on the Nexus line as people who are "fixing" a "broken" stock image. That's not really true. The stock image is perfectly fine. The developers are merely making things that they deem better than how stock handled it. For instance, a developer might think that the on-screen buttons are too large on stock, taking up way too much screen real-estate. They would then develop a way to remove it, but still be able to navigate. They might make something like PIE controls. Now, I may agree that the buttons really are too large, but I like the nav bar. So I might just resize it, instead of working around it.

I guess the point I'm making is, all of those modifications you see to "improve" the stock image are there to "improve" it, but what counts as an "improvement" is completely subjective. There are different people in the world with vastly differentiating opinions about things, so they will make something to improve something else as they see fit. The development sections here on XDA are merely huge repositories of any modification that anyone who was willing to make, made. Looking at them all as collectively-required flashable improvements isn't how it should be viewed. That's the beauty of having a large development community. You can pick and choose, depending on your personal opinions, which modifications are improvements and flash them. Another way to think of it is cookie-cutter vs modular. Do you want a phone that appeals the masses,;a one-size fits all, or a phone that is completely customizable?
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Battery life has been great on stock for me. Absolutley no complaints here. I have ran so many custom kernels on prior phones and never saw a large boost in battery from them. Lots of times it would actually be worse.

The speaker volume can definitley use a boost and the camera needs some fixing. I know there is some dev work for both of these issues but I am going to hang a little and see if Google fixes it. If not, I might think about rooting solely for those 2 things. If Google fixes it, absolutley no reason for me to root this time around.

Anyway, as a prior flashoholic there is no better phone then a Nexus for people who like to flash Roms and like every feature on the sun. No other phones custom Roms work as good as they do on a Nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] brooksyx:
Development is like the first determining factor for me when buying phones.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Screen size. A 5" screen starts the sweet spot for a device that uses on-screen buttons. I always felt shorted on prior 4.7" screens with on screen buttons. Like there wasn't enough viewing real estate. Sure you can remove the on-screen buttons but then you would need something that always to longer to activate then the actual buttons being present.

I also think the quality and colors of the N5 screen are just gorgous.
[Nexus 5 General] capathy21:
I just got rid of my moto x for the N5 for this very reason. The moto x is a great device and probably the best carrier controlled device to date.

That being said, it drove me nuts to be locked down with a locked bootloader and no development. Knowing the n5 is open and has all the Dev support means I have control over MY phone, not AT&T and not Motorola.

After dealing with the locked down s4, I promised myself I would never get another device without an unlockable bootloader. I caved when the moto x came out and as I said it's one amazing device but at the end of the day, I'll be sticking with nexus devices from here on out.

To me it's not worth giving up that freedom but for you it may not matter.

Please elaborate. I want to know which features exactly do Custom ROMs provide that you won't be able to get from the xposed mod that you would want that much.

If I do get the Moto X, then I will get the Developer Unlocked model.
[Nexus 5 General] sluflyer06:
Same here, after my first Nexus phone, I could never go back to a phone that didn't have a strong dev. community behind it. For me; tablets and phones are as much about the journey of playing with ROM/kernel/mods as they are a communication device.
[Nexus 5 General] brooksyx:
No stock rom mod can touch the stability and features of cyanogenmod. It is the only way to do anroid. In fact I prefer iOS over stock android. But CM is awesome.
[Nexus 5 General] darkgoon3r96:
To be honest, CM's future plans SERIOUSLY excite me.. Like that recent conversation feature :D
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
CyanogenMod, AOKP, AOSPA support, along with great kernel devs. The Nexus 5 is essentially guaranteed support for these things, and these are things I like.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Who said anything about roms or features? Its all about kernels.

But if you look at ROMS like PAC, you'll see what features true roms can offer over xposed

[Nexus 5 General] lyall29:
I personally will never buy another phone that has a weak dev community. This is the main reason I didn't buy the Moto X.
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
To me an Xposed module is only a piece of the puzzle. You will never get the optimization of a custom ROM and more importantly a custom kernel running stock. Period. I do believe Google does a great job in their stock software but they do not put in the personalized effort that our Devs do for themselves and for us. A lot more time and care is put into the software being tweaked by people who are using the devices themselves as opposed to company looking to make profit.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I've been on both sides of that fence. I used to flash all the time - I'm talking multiple roms per day back on my old Droid Incredible. It's really tapered off with my last couple phones though. I had my S4 for probably about a month before I tried flashing anything, and even then I didn't change roms all that often. I've had my N5 for a couple days now, and I have no plans to flash a rom for quite a while. I love it the way it is, and I'd rather at least wait until development is further along. I need a phone where everything works - I have no tolerance for using a rom with issues as my DD anymore. With that being said, I've already unlocked, rooted, and flashed CWM just in case something comes along.

I don't know exactly how to describe this. But my Xperia Z1 seems slightly bent at one side. The power button side. Look at the pic. Lying on a flat surface. Compare the power button side and the usb side. In honesty, my phone has been recently exposed to a lotta heat. Abuja, Nigeria is really hot. The phone got so hot that day it actually started damaging the carrying pouch. Should I be worried?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zegun:
idk if my eyes are bad..

but isn't that more like a hump on the battery part?

seems logical if it is a hump... batteries are never good with high heat exposure

well try putting i on a flat table and get a shot from the sides while the phone is lying on the back and front

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante2086:
Yeah, but I think I've adapted to it. As for the phone, the problem is Sony mobile, has poor, if not nearly non-existent representation in Nigeria. Most Sony phones are sold via third party representatives in Nigeria, and I don't think too much of them. If it does get worse though, I might be forced to send it in. As u can see from the pics it's not too severe. And I kept the phone in water for ten minutes today just to verify if it was still waterproof, apparently it still is.

How in the world!???
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbell13:
They sat on it or applied some other force to it. The laws of physics disagree with "it just bent itself." As for heat, the melting point of aluminum is 660 celcius... that's over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. And that's almost how hot it would have to get to start bending "by itself."
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shteren:
Smartass all fo you....

The aluminum frame is fabricated it such a way that IT CAN ACTUALLY BEND ITSELF! If the stress tensor in the alimonum block was highly distorted before the chipping process THE FRAM WILL BENT ITSELF AFTER A WHULE to relive inner materials pressure...

This can defenetly be cause by wrong fabricatimg procedures....

yeah my z1 seems bent too. i've noticed it shortly after getting it. girlfriend thinks i'm crazy but i'm sure. i did put it off as an optical illusion due to the port covers not being 100% parallel to the frame sometimes, but even on a table it wobbles, so it must be bent.

very disconcerting to say the least.

Could be that the battery is swollen due to overcharging, or the aluminium could have bent, melting point doesn't mean that it can be made into a durable metal at lower heat, but i find that unlikely, i'm putting my money on the battery swelling.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante2086:
You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Few people in the world are as careful with their phones as I am. And I definitely don't sit on it. And fabricated aluminium doesn't need to get to it melting point to bend.

Yeah, I thought so too. It happened to my K700, but that significantly affected my battery life. But since uninstalling CNN app and installing 4.3, my battery life is great.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Could still be m8, i've seen batteries swell until they literally broke the devices, i have a device for transferring data from any mobile device to any other mobile device, called celibrite, I like i div had it charging all the time and the battery ended up like a massive blue bag (swollen) it broke the front sim slot and pushed the screws out through their threads, nothing was stopping it, in terms of battery life i have to say when it was disconnected i didn't noticed a drop in battery life either, although it was never unplugged for very long, as for my phone I have it on a timer at night so it never gets more than an hour of overcharge.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
That's not case with all Z1 devices.

And I really doubt charging after battery is full could "melt" battery.

It could happen on bad battery or device but generally - you can hold your phone 1 week on charger and it will only charge when it need to charge.

As I said - I'm talking about non defective devices.

Only problem you'll have is constantly charging and discharging battery which will lead to bad battery life but it'll not "melt" or "bend" because of that.

I charge my device 4-5 times in one week and I connect charger at 11pm and disconnect at 7-8am.

Not once my battery was hot or something else.

There's mechanism that prevents overcharging - invention we are using for over 15 years so please, stop talking nonsense and scaring people.

Yup, it just happened with mine as well. I'm super careful with my phone too so I know it can't have been anything I did. Please let me know if you find a way to get it back to normal or if it gets corrected or worse on its own.

I'm going to try to get my carrier to replace the phone; hopefully that'll work.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] anactoraaron:
I ordered the bright red hoping that I too will see it as more orange (as some review sites have noted) - as orange is my favorite color. I couldn't justify paying more on shipping so I will wait until tuesday to get mine...

I also couldn't justify paying for another made in china for 50 cents case - like any spigen or rengke or kayscases - since I already tried that route. All of these cases are all low quality (see the sub 3 star reviews on all of these cases on Amazon) and spending $20 on ANY of them is a complete waste of money. I only bought the Kayscase (black with kickstand) only due to all of the (what turns out to be mostly fake) positive reviews for them. Come to find out the case is ugly, feels cheap (BoM is south of 50 cents from china and a not so nice markup of $15 is complete robbery) and feels like it would cause more damage to the phone (rather than protect it) if dropped. See the spigen isn't returning any of my emails thread to see that poor qualilty (power button being forced down) and customer service are common for these less expensive cases so I figured getting the official case will 1) be of a higher quality and 2) if dropped a few feet (say 2-3) and damage to the phone occurs there's a better chance of getting a free repair using the official case.

Ordered the red and I received it today. Very upset it looks more like an orange. The back is very hard and it reaches out the edges of the back.... Uncomfortable.

Also the case makes it 10x more difficult to hit the buttons. If any of you had a d3o case it's much worse.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wbroshea:
As far as your number 2 going, have you ever heard of that working? I only ask because I had the nexus 4 in the official bumper, dropped it from three feet and broke the screen (it did hit just the corner which should have been protected by the bumper but we all know how unpredictable corner impacts can be). I imagine google would laugh at you if one asked for a free repair. However I hope I am wrong because I will contact them immediately if you have heard otherwise.

Gray case + white Nexus 5 = Sexy as hell. Unless you're under a really bright light, it pretty much looks white to me.

I'm loving it... I know it was overpriced, but it still says Nexus on the back, its grippy, cutouts are precise and accurate and its non-intrusive to the screen so you can actually select and touch icons that are at the extreme side. I'm happy. :D

The nexus letters aren't engraved like the back of the phone. It's a bit embossed actually.

Aside from the power button being rigid, I like this case very much.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ethantarheels123:
does it make the phone feel boxy, hence, making it feel more bulky? The thing I love about the diztronic tpu case is that it contours very nicely around the back edges, making the phone retain its sleek form feeling in your hands.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] crazykefka:
It does a bit, as it doesn't retain the natural curves of the phone. But I did come from a spigen ultra hybrid bumper case, so I'm accustomed to the boxy feel and this case is less bulky than the former.
