I do not have any backups stored externally. I'm not familiar with RSD lite, could you explain and/or link? I have only left my phone for about half an hour at the most before hard rebooting it. I'll let it sit for a couple hours and see if it does anything different.

See this thread for information on how to restore stock... always a good idea to know how to reset the phone back to a complete stock configuration ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
Hi,

Basically I'm trying to update to lollipop via OTA so I dont lose all my data, but whenever I try and install the update, my phone reboots into TWRP, but then it just goes to the main menu and doesn't update anything.

Just wondering how I should update? Do I have to install the stock recovery? Or will that make me lose my data too?

Cheers,

Jack
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuCkyCn:
I don't think it's a very good idea to update ota when your phone is rooted. I don't think it will update either because you don't have the stock recovery.

What I did personally... I backed up my 4.4 ROM and followed the instructions on bixie's stock ROM. I didn't delete my internal storage and everything carried over.

If you don't have the latest twrp. You can either download flashify from the market or you can use adb/fast boot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_Chicken:
So I used TWRP to install that rom but lost my root in the process. Any idea's what I screwed up?

I made sure to backup using TWRP before starting.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Root is removed as the OTA removes it, just root again (if you read any of the guide threads on here you'd know this)

[MENTION=4656043]diazlol[/MENTION]

Can you enter into fastboot mode again? Flash [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] [MENTION=273310]monx®[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] kernel.

On which step of the procedure fails?

Recovery can get after flashing, since no BL root.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dashrink:
You might want to recover the rom with Flash Tools.

There is a thread about this. Just install flash tools and upgrade the rom & you should be fine

[One (M8) General] jbarr3:
OK a philosophical rant.

I've spent hours trying to decide which custom rom to install. Watched all the youtube videos went on all the developers web sites and read hundreds of pages of threads and yet nothing jumps out at me. I was asking myself why do I want a custom rom. So I went through a checklist of what roms offer

1. Remove bloatware - done that through titanium

2. Display customisations - I use sense and nova and various other gui apps that provide many options

3. Tweaks - I have exposed modules - sense 6, gravity box and xsense which give me all the tweaks I need

4. Speed - my phone's running very well.

5. Gestures - I use gmd gestures

Some roms offer hundreds of tweaks. In reality how often and how many would you change. Also while most roms are stable and bugs are fixable, there are many reports of problems and yes I know they do get fixed eventually but losing wifi, carrier access, reboots, bootloops etc can be disconcerting and a common question is how do I get back to stock rom.

I came to the conclusion that the only reason I wanted a custom rom was to see if I could load one and try it out. Seems like a lot of mucking about to achieve, in my case on this phone, very little.

Have i missed the point of roms?
[One (M8) General] 2103ehleec:
I installed the Android Lollipop custom rom and it was nice. There were two bugs that I encountered and they were 1) no system r/w access and 2) I kept having to dismount and remount my sd card. I tried Cyanogenmod and while it was nice, I missed Blinkfeed.
[One (M8) General] primed1:
It's a presonal preference, really. Everybody has their reason for what operating system they run on their phone. As for me, I like custom ROMs because I like to stay on the bleeding edge. If a new version of Android is released, you can guarantee there'll be a custom ROM for it within 1-2 weeks. Even when the OEM has stopped pushing out updates, custom ROMs give the ability to always stay on the bleeding edge. Also, some people dislike the Sense UI. Understandable, since it does slow the phone down just a bit. But really, it' just down to personal preference.
[One (M8) General] jbarr3:
Maybe its a Windows vs Mac thing. Its funny you know that I'm an experienced computer teacher and on PCs I always stay up to date and I do like to be on the bleeding edge but when it comes to phones I feel differently but on my Samsung tablet I do have a custom rom. I'm not anti custom rom. Samsungs bloatware is ridiculous, touchwiz is awful and the tablet is very laggy. A custom rom here was absolutely necessary. Now it flies but on the htc one m8, I don't mind sense 6, speed is good and customisations are adequate.
[One (M8) General] md1008:
Technically speaking they are not necessary. I prefer stock android to sense.

Also lollipop appears to be a game changer for exposed. It's uncertain the future of exposed.

I know my ROM of choice is miui although it can be a crap shoot to get a stable ROM to my liking so I usually use mi launcher
[One (M8) General] bdizzle1686:
Once u try Xposed Module Xtended Settings (for Sense 6) u won't need a rom. It's ALMOST got more features than s6tb, xsense, htc one tweaker, gravity box,- ALL COMBINED AND THEN SOME THAT NONE OF EM CONTAIN.... Newest versions up on Play Store (Xposed report has older versions).... With this 1 single mod, I have no need for custom rom. Try it u WILL NOT regret it (or turn back either)
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Are custom roms necessary? In my opinion yes they are.

1: some people prefer a pure android experience (me included)

2: some people want certain tweaks, apps, and settings

3: and the MOST important one! Faster updates, and longer device life.

What do i mean by device life? Newest android on phones that the manufacturer phased out. Look at the galaxy s3 running 4.4.4, or the galaxy nexus running 4.4.4 and probably 5.0 now. These devices stopped getting updates from their manufacturers but are still good usuable phones, preventing me from getting a new device.

This is why companies have been locking down bootloaders, to get you to buy a new device for new software when the one you own is perfectly good.

So it comes down to taste, preference, and android version.
[One (M8) General] munchy_cool:
Xposed and all these apps which you are using came in very late if you compare them to when custom roms started popping up. Now, me for one prefer to have some of the functionality you use baked into my rom instead of me going to the play store and downloading an app to do so.
[One (M8) General] jbarr3:
Which rom are you using then?

BTW In Australia we are bypassing 4.4.4 and going straight to 5.0. When I don't know (Jan. was mentioned) but I'll revisit roms when they match my firmware. The point about updates is a good one. I forgot about that.
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Im running the google play edition 5.0 lollipop leak right now. Hoping the official google play 5.0 update comes this week. Kinda laggy. I tend to run cyanogenmod (cm11) so as soon as cm12 comes out ill be switching to that :)
[One (M8) General] luigi90210:
Flash the antilag fix holyangel posted, it makes things usable imho. Its not 100% gone but its a whole lot better without the fix.
[One (M8) General] R4INS:
Yeah i have the tweaks all set. Also switched to nova launcher (ditching google now helps). I really only experience the most lag in chrome and keyboard. I could try a differrnt keyboard i guess but it matches so well.
[One (M8) General] luigi90210:
Its funny you say that cause im only experiencing lag on google messanger. Everything else is smooth with the occasional hiccup once and a while.

To add my $0.02 to the topic, i feel custom roms in the sense like CM, AOKP, paranoid android, ect. are not necessary unless you have no way to get pure android on your device. Im running the leaked lollipop rom and im loving it aside from the minor lag issues im experiencing, i feel android has itself to a point where if you need to customize something, you have rooted apps that can do it, there isnt any need to have all these seperate apps baked into a rom when you will only use 1/3rd of the features, its just adding more bloat to what could be a pure aosp rom
[One (M8) General] primed1:
While I do agree, that the feel of stock AOSP is unbeatable, I don't think that AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and Paranoid Android are completely useless. They have some features that you can't simply add with an Xposed module, or some root app. Take CM's theme manager, for example. I honestly don't know what I'd do without the theme manager. And Paranoid Android's Hover feature? (Which I guess with Lollipop's floating mode, is now useless), but in KitKat, it was revolutionary. And I'm sure they'll continue to add new, unbeatable features in Lollipop, too. And until they stop adding new features, I don't think it's likely that I'll stop using them.
[One (M8) General] luigi90210:
Hover can be used via gravity box, wanam, and other tool boxes like it, themer however is unique to android but for a user like me who stays with stock themes that feature is moot.

With xposed not working on lollipop i can see where having a feature hardcoded into a rom would be good but thats only if xposed is broken forever.

Thats my $0.02 on the subject though, i personally find no need to run a custom rom on my HTC One M8, lollipop has all the features i use and i only need root to manage my kernel, files(root explorer), sound control, and an app like greenify that forces apps to shut down when not in use to gelp battery life.
[One (M8) General] jbarr3:
Just installed this and your right, its very good but it is missing a couple of my favourite tweaks from my xsense, sense 6 toolbox and gravity box. Using all of these gives all the tweaks you could possibly want,
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
CM theme Manager based on T-Mobile theme engine is used by RichmondoUK in his xposed module too ;)
[One (M8) General] ione2380:
A custom rom is a great thing but not necessary. I wish i had a custom rom on my m8, but since is almost certain that i can't s-off it, i don't wanna risk not been able to update the firmware or to lose wifi or network signal if i upgrade to a rom based on newer firmware. So i'll keep it stock at least until lollipop comes.
[One (M8) General] Jabber Abdullah:
I`d like to add something,

Before knowing that GREAT invention called "XPOSED" , custom roms were a must for me and I assume for every android maniac like me. But now things are totally different , with XPOSED u can have customize ur stock rom in all ways . And thus u get all the benefits of both stock roms "stable bug free" and custom roms at the same time. Guys we shud really thank Mr. XPOSED inventor whoever he is. :good::good:
[One (M8) General] kickassdave:
I see everyone talking about Xposed.

Given it's uncertain future in Android 5 I'm afraid for the foreseeable you are going to want baked in features on custom ROMs.

I personally cannot wait to see what themers can do with Android 5.0 in the CM theme engine.

Like others I am also waiting for CM12 as it always just feels more snappy than stock.

Me too. I agree. CM Theme Engine. Can't survive without it.
