Multirom with the following:

-SOKP 4.4.4 as daily driver

-Lollipop (multirom thread), testing this as replacement for SOKP

-Ubuntu touch build 243

-Firefox OS

The latter two are just because i can, but for me they're just not complete enough to really use for more than a bit of fiddling in an empty hour at this point, to my liking that is. I like to fiddle with "new" stuff so that's why i have them installed and why i update them as soon as new versions come out. Of the two i like Firefox OS most at this point.

SOKP is very feature rich and for me it's very stable, that's the reason i have for using that as primary. I've been running it since released and had no problems that weren't easily solved. Too bad development has stopped at this point, i would like to see what these guys can do with lollipop.

As for lollipop, i like the progress and a lot of the added features. Still setting it up with my apps (105 installed and in regular use on my daily driver) and such, which will take some time. When i'm done i will give it a shot as daily. And yes, i do really use those apps frequently.

Next on my "add and test" list is Sailfish.

I'm getting random reboots and BSOD on every lollipop room and kernel I try.

Any recommendations on what to do? Flash back to stock and re-root?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kealke:
The only answer i can give you is that you can install the version in the multiboot thread as secondary rom, after installing multiboot. If that works, you can swap it with your primary (the one you're using now and that works). Sidenote to that, if you switch it to primary, thereafter you can't use the multirom features anymore. At this moment that is. More detailed info is in the multirom thread.

You can also tell multiboot to boot lollipop as standard if you like, without any multiboot prompt at boot, but with the possibility to switch to your primary.

I tried lots of roms and kernels on my N5 and i will try to give a short review for each.

MIUI5/6 / yunOS

5/10

- if you use Titanium Backup, well you cant in this one totally. Even if you buy the pro key, it wont work.

- battery drain if you use miui kernel

- dat chinese bloatware

- clean master or some kind of third party cleaner is always running

- camera feels worse. Dont know if it really is

FlyMe

5/10

- dpi is small. If you try to change the dpi with textdroider dpi changer, you will break the rom

- bloatware

- there is no app drawer like iphone

Lucky Rom (chinese)

6/10

- chinese bloatware

- quite stable

- i like the recent apps look. Looks like iphone mulitasking

- horrible boot animation in my memory

CM11s/11/12

9/10

-highly recommend 11s and 11.

-you cant use gravitybox

-a bit of battery drain but underclock it or change the kernel

-sometimes its not stable (screen flickering, slight lag)

Slimkat/slimrom

8/10

- very stable and nice

- impressive multitasking, recent app look

- dont like how it looks when you first flash it. Dpi too small and nfc, daydream all turned on.

Cataclysm

7/10

- stable and very clean

- battery drain now and there

Euphoria 5.1

8/10

- stable and smooth

- nice battery life

Purewhite

8/10

[Edit]

Exodus 4.4.4

9/10

- no need for MCR already there

- stable like a rock

Stock 4.4.4 w/furnace kernel (current)

9/10

- obviously stable

- used furnace kernel for color control. W/ saturated settings, it looks like amoled display which i like more.

- has a setting to look more brighter w/o using more battery

I've never understood the purpose or appeal of Aroma installers. Why would I want to choose a bunch of settings during the initial flash that I can only change by reflashing the rom/kernel? I'd rather have the options built right in so that I can change them on the fly rather than having to reflash.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
To me, it became very useful on HTC One, I've never really flashed stuff with Aroma before then. Reason being, a lot of Roms would have features I would never need or want, or made visuals ugly. So, I would customize it the way I liked prior to install and be done with it. Roms that had their own built options, usually required stand alone apps. With kernels, I would rather not install a separate app to control it, but rather set settings upon install. I usually keep it all stock, unless, I want to UV a bit more, or change color mods.

Anyways, I decided to go purely stock now. No Rom I tried has the stability of stock, but Elemental X was definitely the closest perfuming kernel to stock I've tried. We shall see how it goes, I just wanted to compare.
