[Nexus 5 General] CalebQ42:
[MENTION=5689782]Xaif[/MENTION] started this thread, then get too busy and abandoned it (it seems he does update it occasionally), then [MENTION=4769686]abemore[/MENTION] continued the thread, but also abandoned it after his N5 died. Now I decided to maintain this list. I'll try to keep this maintained for all of us with a N5 that's still kicking :).

Sorry for the long time between updates, my N5 is having wifi issues so I'm trying not to wipe my device very often, making me forget about this list. Another factor is that there aren't any new roms coming out, just updates to existing roms, so it isn't that big of a deal if it isn't updated that often.

Issues on All ROMs:

Bluetooth Calling audio bug (I haven't tested this as I rarely ever make or recieve phone calls)

Face Unlock crashes when you try to add a face (Fix can be found here)

Video Recording issues (A fix can be found here, but i cannot confirm if it works or not as my camera is messed up physically)
