Finally got my phone set up again. Admittingly, it does feel a bit faster, can't comment on battery though, but I'm liking the new notification panel a lot. Back on 5.0 and 5.0.1, if you clicked on "cast screen" fast the OS would glitch out and then it wouldn't work until a reboot. But that's fixed now as I can tell.

The only thing I'm not liking is that even in airplane mode my phone still shows "no Sim" now I have a Sim in the phone but it isn't active, and I can't pop it out at the moment to check for dirt or whatnot. Anyone know what's up with that? Other than that and wishing it was fixed I like the new animations of the notifications, and play store and overall I'm having good feelings. I'll report back soon in a day or so with my full thoughts.

So far no flashlight bug either, it stayed on for 5+ mins. I did see a launcher redraw however after all my apps reinstalled. Hopefully the leak has been fixed at least some and battery is better.
[Nexus 5 General] rpr69:
It seems I am the only person with this problem. I flashed 5.1 as a secondary ROM using the zip provided in the multirom thread, it boots up fine, and everything seems to work except WiFi. I can see networks, and enter credentials, but it never shows any icon in the status bar, and in settings it will show authenticating, then switches to obtaining IP address, then after a number of minutes it will show 'IP configuration failure', oddly enough from a logcat and the terminal I can see there is an IP address assigned to wlan0, but it nevers seems to finish the connection. I get this both at home and work, on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks. I manually flashed the new bootloader and radio, so it's not that. I don't want to necessarily do a full wipe, so I'll probably just wait until SlimLP gets a 5.1 release and go from there, but I was curious if anyone else was seeing the same thing? I admit my scenario is somewhat uncommon, but I can't believe I'm the only person seeing the issue.

Am I the only one who notice a bad battery life? Today, I've reached 2.30 h of screen, when I used to do over 3 h (usually 3.5 h...). I have to verify, but I'm very puzzled. However 5.1 is awesome! All little bugs are been fixed, UI is more beautiful with some new effects and transitions, and, overall, it's smoother and faster than 5.0/5.0.1. Now, for example, the dialer is been opened very faster than 5.0.1, and all results more pleasant. Very good job Big G!
[Nexus 5 General] linj:
rpr69 , just to let you know, I see this problem too. Also using MultiROM with 5.1 as a secondary ROM, using Tassadar's original basketbuild build. Have not checked logcat since adb shell is broken right now for me.

Have tried radios and tried updating bootloader--no difference between old 5.0 bootloader and 5.1 bootloader, and LPV79 radio and current radio.

I am also experiencing bad battery drain of all android versions yet.

Rarely got 2 hours of SoT with about 30 - 40% screen brightness.

I just installed Franco kernel and will see how it is. So far 45 min SoT and still 83% battery left.

I'll play it around for few days see how Franco kernel battery efficiency is.
[Nexus 5 General] francescobabbaro:
Really? Honestly, differences are a lot, and the smoothness and the "pure speed" are very improved. About battery life...I need some time to rate it.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

I'm thinking to franco kernel after seeing that it is been updated today. Smoothness and reactivity? Such as stock kernel? Battery life with Franco is always a warranty and a prerogative.

Hello everybody! First, sorry for my bad English. ;)

I did a factory reset and then installed the Android 5.1 by the toolkit. I left unlocked bootloader, I root and installed TWRP. Now I noticed some small problems: :rolleyes:

1- I couldn't install the Instagram. Says it's not compatible;

2- I couldn't install Cerberus by TWRP. Says installed, but when I restart it's not there;

3- I can't install Avast Anti-thef to root. When I try to install says there's no space in the folder "System".

Someone is going through this?

[Nexus 5 General] kicksilver:
Running 5.1 for 30 minutes, and it's easy to see how much the memory management has changed. Over 700mb in cached apps, multi-tasking is efffortless. :)

5.0 5.0.1 never had this much cached apps.

Just hope the memory leaks are gone.

Reported this to android police some hours ago but no answer. I think it´s new, but i don´t know if this is a bug or not.
[Nexus 5 General] fkloznica:
Management is ways better than on 5.0.1 ,but i don't think the leak is fixed :(
[Nexus 5 General] sykosoft:
So far, 5.1 seems like a big improvement over 5.0.1. My wife and I both have Nexus 5, I left her on 5.0.1, and updated to 5.1. Immediately I noticed improvements in fluidity, and multi-tasking as compared to her phone. This isn't confirmation bias, this is A/B testing. Apps start faster, performance (including encrypted I/O) seems better. Battery life is a question mark (needs more testing), but performance seems much better as does memory usage.
[Nexus 5 General] michaelopolis:
Just sideloaded 5.1 with wugfresh tookit , all seems in order and pretty easy to do.

So far battery life has been horrendous for the past two days. I had to charge the device twice today and got about 1.5-2 hrs SOT each time. This is the first time I had to charge the phone twice in a day.
[Nexus 5 General] opssemnik:
Did anyone notice this, sometimes my phone will be detected as off by the cellular operator (like, if anyone calls me, it will say my phone its turned off or with no coverage), but i do have cellular signal... . never, never on any of my devices this has happened, will try another kernels.

Also i think google finally fixed the "Allways check for networks" under advanced settings in wi-fi, now if i turn it off, it will not connect to any other wifi even if its a know one, unless i turn on the screen.
[Nexus 5 General] rockhwd:
surprisingly, MX Player is working fine in 5.1
[Nexus 5 General] Ieatnoobs:
So far so good. I updated and loaded Franco's kernel. Everything seems good. I previously had ElementalX and noticed a huge battery drain on 2.10. It just got updated to 2.11 so I may try that next in a few days.
[Nexus 5 General] shmshd12:
MX Player should work because it is already compatible with ART :)

I'm absolutely sure this is a glitch. It happens on Instagram too and anywhere with a list. Easily reproducible. Instagram really freaks out lol but it got a material design update finally. But they still haven't colored the card.

Noticed something else a bit weird with 5.1. If you have WiFi and bluetooth off and open the "lists" from the notifications panel where it shows networks/pairings it automatically turns on BT/WiFi. I guess it makes sense, that way it can search but it feels weird :P

Also, when I rebooted my phone one time today it was in a bootloop. Turned it off and tried again and it optimized apps.

Weird... Also it definitely gets slower but is faster at first. It was sloe and I rebooted but besides after instlalimg my apps I have had 0 redraws in launcher.

Guess I experienced the same yesterday. Running smooth after a reboot, but after (approximately) 1.5 days usage I started noticing redraws.

Later that day I checked the memory usage, various apps where restarting. And Spotify was constantly closing while playing a game, launcher redraw, etc.

While this bug is/was fixed in 5.0.2. So I'm not sure if it is still a memory leak in the OS, or an app/game which is actually causing this.

Been on 5.1 stock since today. Works great, except batterylife and a scroll bouncing bug.

This is killing battery way faster than before. It seems it even doesn't reach deep sleep. Wakelock on NLP (location) and powermanagerservice. Going to investigate, trying to fix and inform you when possible.

Also when I scroll down in a list the scroll automatically bounces up again. Very annoying!

Using Elementalx kernel latest .11 version.

Has anyone tried using navigation on 5.1? I was using it and testing it this arvo. It would continually pause, maybe every couple of minutes, for a short while then resume.

I'm one of those having memory issue. Less than a day uptime and my free ram goes to ~300MB. I can't start anymore games and have some occasional redraws. It's a full wipe install (except the internal sdcard), I wonder why only some people are experiencing this.
[Nexus 5 General] zagorteney:
I don't quite understand from where are all of those issues, you've got, folks. For me, 5.1 is fast and furious and battery is as allways - one day of average use. I've just rooted and deleted bloatware like Google office apps, LGE related apps, all necessary keyboards and some other stuff. The phone is flying.

All I have really noticed strange is, that is someway (for now) impossible to integrate updates of system apps into rom. :)

P.S. Finnally we have got two different silent modes (now, as an option to exclude an alarm from None is integrated) and we would no more need to read about "Silent mode is missing yelling". :D
[Nexus 5 General] iamterence:
Damn, I feel sorry for all you folks having issues. I haven't had any problems with 5.1 so far, or even 5.0.2 for that matter. 5.1 is definitely a huge improvement in terms of speed and performance for me, and battery life is still average, if not slightly better with the new update. I can pull about 3-3.5hrs of SOT (sometimes 4) with 10-17 hours of uptime, depending on exactly how I use my phone. I'm happy with everything.

- For me 5.1 is pretty much faster than 5.0..

- I have much better battery life compared to 5.0 WITH location disabled in both instances. (I don't use location lately...) And WiFi 24/7 ON but using LTE data most part of the day.

- With 5.0 i had 2/4 LTE bars at my workspace but now I have 3/4 bars of signal.

- Is fast enough for my needs? Not yet!!! I think still needs more polishment. When you open an app for the first time..(I.e. first time you open Hangouts or Phone or whatever...) sometimes takes more than a second to finish loading the app.

BUT I am really happy with this new lollipop there is a huge difference between 5.1 and the first L preview in performance and app loading.

Not sure if they totally fixed the memory leak, but It's a lot better than 5.0.1. Now after 18hrs and turning the screen on and off a lot of times, the system usage is only 350MB. It would've crossed 400MB in the previous versions.

Also the phone feels BLAZING FAST while multitasking :D

I don't know how to see if the memory leaks still exist or not. I did notice I was using around 1.2gb of RAM during the first boot up (after setup). It dropped to around 500-600mb and that's where its currently at now while listening to Pandora.

I lost a lot of battery life in the first few hours after updating (OTA, stock, unrooted). After that, it stabilized to a much lower battery rate. That's happened to me on every update I can recall. I update, test a bit, reboot, charge to 100% and let it sit, other than checking battery every hour or so.
[Nexus 5 General] greatgoogly:
Volume much lower?

I've found both the headset volume and the volume through headphones is horribly lower on 5.1. Don't know what Google did but it's now very tough to even understand the person on the other end of a call in a quiet environment, much less if you have any noise around you. If your listening to music thru headphones it's also very anemic.
[Nexus 5 General] asawi:
I do not have that problem at all. Just hung up from a phone call and sound was just fine. With headphones I had no problem at all getting volume up way beyound what would not have been a healthy level for my ears. So it doesn't seem to be in the firmware.
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
I noticed an abnormal power consumption on the first day, too, but now the situation has improved a lot!

For those who have just flashed, wait a couple of days before complaining about battery life: in my case it seems better than 5.0 :good:
[Nexus 5 General] greatgoogly:
With headphones it's not as noticeable, but on calls using just the built in earpiece (tiny little circle at top of phone), it's horrible. Funny thing is if I make a call via hangouts and use the earpiece the volume is okay, it seems to only be when using the dialer.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Flashlight bug still present. Clean flash with full storage wipe
[Nexus 5 General] asawi:
I never use Hangouts and almost never use headset suring phonecalls. I will take extra notice the next call I make and see if maybe I have the volume turned up more than I used to.

XDA on Tapatalk is more annoying, getting loads of failed to connect toasts and constantly have to refresh. That could be a Tapatalk and/or XDA problem though, could be a coincidence.
