[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
From what I have observed, the app starts quickly after the animation. So animation really just slows things down. To prove my point, try opening the stock camera app with and without transitions/animations. This is different from iOS - which loads apps in the background when you're seeing those incredibly long transitions.
[Nexus 5 General] bufosp:
hahaha someone like me! :victory: i too used to go to phone store and compare speed with N5. however, in my country the newest one is only GS5 which is sooooo slow (even though in 4.4.2 kitkat). Nothing compared the speed of N5. only iPhone 5S so far is on par with N5.
[Nexus 5 General] third son:
Very impressed

I am very impressed with this phone overall. I am running a rooted phone on stock with a ton of customizations (Xposed). It still keeps up with everything and is a great experience. I am glad I switched from Samsung. Had an E4GT before.
[Nexus 5 General] shadaab:
Nexus is the fastest

I hv bought the new nexus 5 32 gb two weeks ago and fallen in love with this device, really this is the fastest device available. I have checked it through Quadrant Standard and the result is awesome, even HTC One is coming below Nexus 5 as far as speed is concerned.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
I love the Nexus 5 and people have been asking me about what do I personally think about the Nexus 6 that's up and coming because I'm a technician. I tell them if the Nexus 5 was just a sample of what's to come then the Nexus 5 is a mid-tier priced phone that outright battles and destroys the top leading phones at the moment. We have no OS skins to slow us down like TouchWiz.

If the Nexus 6 was manufactured and retailed at the same price as the Galaxy S5 there would be no doubt the Nexus 6 would be the fastest phone known to man and several species of ape.
[Nexus 5 General] tanjiajun_34:
I think the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Z1 and Z2 is able to fare up well against the Nexus 5. Sony Xperia is the smoothest, non Nexus device I ever felt to me. But Nexus 5 is just as impressive too.
[Nexus 5 General] md1008:
I agree the Z1s appears to be pretty fast. One thing I hate about Sony is they make their phones huge with still just a 5 inch screen. Zs1 looks like a phablet compared to my Nexus however actual screen size is the same. Never mind the fact that it's still running jellybean
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Z1 is running 4.4.2, my mate has one
[Nexus 5 General] svengalis:
if you think nexus 5 is fast as it is, you will be in for a surprise when you download nova launcher which makes the phone even faster.

Nexus 5 party!

I used all of sammy flagships from Galaxy S2 I9100, Galaxy S3 I9300, to Galaxy S4 I9500 but nothing is as clean and an awesome experience than my Nexus 5, running stock, rooted day one, had ART then moved to XPOSED with dalvik. Seriously wow! And yeah people bash its camera but lemme tell you it takes awesome snaps, and the camera is ready snap from lockscreen much faster my GS4. I got so annoyed with S4 that this shall be my last Sammy! I might move to HTC One M8, dunno maybe, only thing I miss in Nexus 5 is a MMC SD card but, i use a 64GB SD and yes I need it, for my bulk data, music, movies, titanium backups, backedup apks, roms, flashables, dunno why Google is messing with it, I need the bulk data. I so want a GPE M8 but it ain't available in India if it were I would buy it!

nexus 5 yes spoilt us ;)
[Nexus 5 General] howard bamber:
My monkey has a devopers N6,but I'm more than happy still. Cleaning up unless empty files helps keep the speed. Clean master does wonders imo. In fact being able to get rid of left behind crud is a major reason to root now kk is so good. If only they could make a decent kernel. I suppose that's what elementalx etal is for :D

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

With all these things you HAVE to factor cost. Nothing comes close to the sainted N5
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
+1

This is the truth! Nova is amazing! If you want a snappier experience go into the developer options and change the window animation scale and the transition animation scale to a lower rate. I tried 0.5 and it was uncomfortable how fast it was for me lol. 0.75 works the best for me.
[Nexus 5 General] hakkers420:
Try coming from the i9000 the original galaxy s to the N5 lol

Now that's an upgrade lol

[Nexus 5 General] dia_naji:
Yes I know how you feel. I deal with phones almost everyday, but like you said nothing comes close to nexus 5 speed. Software sometimes plays a part in the speed of the phone
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
I would have as well
[Nexus 5 General] Rdogg112:
I have to agree. My first android device was a ZTE Blade (Horrible), I then upgraded to a Galaxy S2 and that was an amazing switch for me. Afterwards, to the Galaxy S4, which was even more amazing - unfortunately, that phone got stolen, and now I have my Nexus 5, in raw speed, it may not be the best, but in responsiveness and smoothness it's definitely the best I've ever laid my hands on.
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Faster than greased lightening!

Faster than a speeding bullet!

Faster than stink on sh#t!
[Nexus 5 General] cheese458:
I want a n5 so much. The speed looks incredible... Is the battery life bad though? Ive heard it is from some reviewers.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
battery life depends how you personally use the device, how you personally set it up, and very much depending on the quality of your personal data/phone connection. battery life can be extremely great to mediocre.
[Nexus 5 General] fluther:
I can go one better, I've just come from an iPhone 4, and before that an iPhone 2g since 2007. Glad I finally jumped ship. The speed of this thing is incredible. I'm running CM11 with the Chaos kernel and it flies.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Battery life is awesome but I came from an S2. There's a battery thread here so check it out. It's way better than reviews.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
Just like you, I've also came from the Note 3. The only thing I miss is the over saturation of the Amoled screen.

[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
Try franco/faux gamma tweaks and display app. Changed my life.
[Nexus 5 General] TwinkyOfHope:
I'm the only person I know with a Nexus 5. It's totally faster than my gf's Galaxy S4, but the s4 has a ridiculously good camera. Faster than my sister's iPhone 5, but the iphone does have some pretty animations.

But overall the N5 is awesome
[Nexus 5 General] Jwizzled:
Yeah, a month ago or maybe a bit more I got my nexus 5 to replace my crespo (Nexus S). Fastest thing i've had since building my double SSD Rig.
[Nexus 5 General] Danub:
SAME!
[Nexus 5 General] viny2cool:
Switched from S4 to N5. Even though I miss good camera, this phone makes me happy. So Smooth.

sometimes while showing off my Galaxy S3/4, it used to take so much time to load apps. With Nexus 5 I never have that issue. I Wish N5 had better camera and battery life. This would be the phone of the year.

Now I am in dilemma if I should get GS5. I am up for an upgrade.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
Yeah, it is the first Android phone I've used that doesn't have launcher or menu stutter...finally... I got my first Android phone in 2011. I have had the EVO Shift, Nexus S, EVO LTE, Galaxy S3 and Nexus 5. All of them exhibited some form of lag or stuttering in menus or in the launcher when swiping screens so I was never quite happy.

With the Nexus 5 I am finally content and even have it running stock other than root to block ads. With all of my other phones I was a chronic flasher trying to get rid of the stutters or other performance drops. If there is a Nexus 6 released this year I am not sure why I would even get it. I think the only complaint I have is that I don't care so much for the sharp edges of the screen. I liked the rounded edges of my Galaxy S3 which are similar on the Nexus 4 if you've used one of those.

Battery life has been fine for me. I use it all day and throw it on the wireless charger when I go to bed. I also have a wireless charger at work if needed but I never need it unless I forget to charge the night before. I don't do any social networking though so I am not getting blasted with notifications all the time which is probably why a lot of people have bad battery life.
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
I came from the gs4 as well. The gs5 doesn't even interest me (kind of weird because I always get the latest greatest). I'm not going back to bloated ui's any time soon, maybe one day when stock Google gets old to me....The 2 phones that have really intrigued me as of late is the One+ with cyanogen and the lg g3.

[Nexus 5 General] supersain08:
Its fast but not as fast as iphone
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
False. My n5 is much faster in every aspect than my daughters iPhone 5s
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
True, the iphonie does crap out a lot faster! :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] psp9000333:
false. even though the iPhone beats the Nexus 5 in single core tasks due to its 64 bit processor, the Nexus 5 beats the iPhone 5S in multi-core speed. another reason why 64-bit is essential to bring the mobile platform to the next level.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
False...... Source is my daily carry of an iPhone 5s and Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I'm going to jump on the "false" bandwagon. I've used both the N5 and 5S, and the N5 feels much faster.
[Nexus 5 General] mistahseller:
Ignore
[Nexus 5 General] -error:
IMHO apple did a little trick here. When app opens they draw it's "outline". And it looks like app already started. IMHO this is the source of iphone being faster feel.

On android apps draw themselfs when they're completely ready and have all info loaded.

This could be seen clearly on this video.

>>> knox free

explain this.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] zygzoo:
Knox files were removed
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] degast:
I see, but let's say I flash this, then Knox won't go 0x1 on my ass?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] zygzoo:
flashing custom recovery will trigger knox

And to install this you need custom recovery

Nihil sine Deo !!!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] degast:
I know, but since you remove Knox files, does this change anything? I'm wondering what the purpose is. Is it just bloat?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] zygzoo:
Knox from bootloader will be set to 1

That can not be removed and can not be reset

Nihil sine Deo !!!

No disrespect OP but you're likely to really confuse the noob and/or un-willing-to-read mob out there lol, just saying :D
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] leoaudio13:
No! Enlighten me if i'm wrong
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] m_beek:
I don't know but there is a lot of line in S5 Priv-app apk AndroidManifest Line that needs Knox, we will see if it works after testing ! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] leoaudio13:
Ummmm... when i acquired root, 1st thing i do is to freeze or delete all Knoxs. and the rest works just fine. I guess its not all about Knox, just Knox's function enhance ? I'm not so sure.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] m_beek:
Exemple:

to port S5 launcher to their ROM, E-team needed to decompile, Mod , recompile TouchwizHome.apk to make it work without Knox, You see ? But for S5 I don
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Ricky Divjakovski:
By "knox-free" he means there is no knox implementation in the rom, so in future if theres a root method or a method to flash a custom recovery without triggering knox then you can run this rom without triggering knox at all.

also if this rom was made with my kitchen(not saying it is) then there is still some knox files, my tool needs to be updated ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] blackknightavalon:
Will this work on the T-Mobile S5? And is there bluetooth tethering?

thanks. i have been searching for this !

thanks for making a way to root s5 (g9009d).

i have been searching all over the net for this.

i was almost giving up.

i even wrote to chainfire to help me make one, even if i have to pay.

thanks so much for this.

i really hope it wont nuke my new/sweet device.

i there anyone who has installed this and is happy with it?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fenchai:
friemd you have to read, this is a knox free rom but to install it you need a CUSTOM recovery, so you have to trigger knox anyways...

Do not attempt to do anything without asking.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] phransys:
what do you mean by CUSTOM recovery? how do i install it?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pamarakos:
Hi

Can you do the same for the G900F with the ANE2 latest firmware please? If it's easier for you no prob with either Odin installation or CWM:)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] shadowblazer08:
So I know having a removable battery has its own perks but one of it really concerns me. Compared to a unibody with a fixed battery, you can easily shut down a Note 3 just by removing the battery. So what if my Note 3 got stolen by someone with a broad knowledge about Android, he/she can easily just remove the battery, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset from there rendering the pin/password/pattern and Android Device Manager useless and be gone forever (the thief can easily sell it/get rid of it) compared to unibody smartphones. Is there a workaround for this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] exprxp:
What about Reactivation Lock and KNOX?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] senectus:
Unibody does not protect against Factory Reset, I've never seen a unibody not have some powerbutton+otherbutton combo that wont let the user do exactly what you fear.

Sorry mate, but the one enduring law of digital security is: If you have physical access to the protected device, consider it compromised.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
Reactivation lock asks for pin even if you done factory reset or flash new firmware
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shadowblazer08:
Yeah I understand what you mean but, as for my other phone which is a HTC One 2013, as long as it has charge and pin/pattern/password set-up, no one could turn it off hence could not access recovery mode giving me enough time to locate and track it. Same as on my iPhone 5s with Find My iPhone app.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
These features are available on the note 3 add well. Go settings - genetal - security and it's all there
[Galaxy Note 3 General] iwanme:
Every unibody phone has a reset combination. For HTC One AFAIK its holding POWER button for 10 sec. and additionally VOL DOWN and POWER combination for factory reset confirmed with additional VOL DOWN click.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shadowblazer08:
But it has to be OFF before you can do a hard reset through hardware buttons.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
Which was just explained to you how to shut it off... NO phone is secure... All phones turn off if you hold the power button long enough whether they have password protection or not...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
Reactivation lock all the way
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.m0x:
This. All phones have this safety feature. Ten seconds and they switch off. How else do you switch off a uni body phone which has stopped responding?

This will make it a brick for the average thief but it can be bypassed. Plenty of dodgy phone shops around who will do it for you.

I'm haveing a weird problem I'm on stock deodexed mk4 rom and I did the wifi patch fix wifi works but if I flash any theme or anything that uses aroma istaller it kills my wifi redoing wifi patch does nothing to get wifi back I have to reflash the rom. Any one know what's wrong
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Which themes are you using? Which recovery are you using as well? Never heard of that with Aroma, although most roms I have used were none Aroma based..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] oakieville:
I have tried with twrp and phils touch and any theme or anything with aroma it doesnt have too be a theme i even put together a blank aroma zip it doesnt flash anything and it still kills wifi i had my friend test out an aroma installer on her note2 same prob
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Weird, try a none aroma based rom, and see what happens.. Also what rom are you using.. I know you said stock deodexd, but from whom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] oakieville:
I can flash anything that doesnt use aroma with no problems I can take any of zips that use aroma and kill my wifi rebuild them without aroma and flash them with no problem

I make flashable zips to fix mms on phones flashed to metropcs im trying to use aroma installer to make a zip for multiple devices. I have it running pretty smooth on note 2 cm 11and s4 4.4 so far but cant figure out note 2 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Not sure what the problem might be. I would simply find a rom you like minus aroma and use it instead... Or you can flash back to 100% stock and try it again..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] oakieville:
Not sure ur understanding my problem finding a rom is not going to help my issue i like the rom I'm on just fine nor is going back to 100% stock going to help i tried that also the problem happens when I'm on stock mk4 i have had 2 other people thqt i new had note 2 try aroma also same results for them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Sorry I could not help.. One question, your MK4 does that include the bootloader? I know the rom I have tried, left out the bootloader and left in the MC2 bootloader..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] oakieville:
At first no rom only but after finding this issue I odin mk4 tar I beleave included bootloader my bootloader now says knox warranty 0x01 or watever now it did say anything about knox before the tar. Thank u for ur help either way
