Hey guys, first android phone here.. Just rooted my phone last night via adb (not new to *nix) and got rom manager, superuser, root explorer etc.
I just deleted the stock apps that are safe to be removed, however, kindle for the LIFE of me will not go away. Searched entire filesystem for anything pertaining to kindle and nothing comes up, yet it still shows in my apps menu.. This really bothers me... lol any suggestions?
Also I haven't come across any ROM's yet since the bootloader being unlocked was not too long ago, any kernels that are out however?
thanks for any help..
Have a look in the development forum. There are a number of ROMs and kernels out already. No AOSP ROMs or kernels, but CM7 is being worked on.

Yeah, new to the forums as well.. Was just looking as the virus rom and kernels from Adrynalyne, was just about to edit this thread.. thanks dude.
Most of the roms out right now have the bloat already removed for you. Just flash whatever you like and you should be good!

So i have been searching for 2 weeks for Roms and how to Root this device. I have finally rooted the devices but yet to find any roms for this device . None of the main websites like here and Android central even have a section for this device yet. i was wondering if anyone had started working on any Roms for this device. i might try and mess with it my self but the device is my wifes so i dont have it in my possession all the time to be able to do that. Any info would be great thanks guys
There is none that I know of yet SDX is doing alot with transform. The samsung moment is very close to the transform and little john has just come out with 2.2.1 for yhe moment still has some bugs but will be working soon. I'm sure some one will be porting it soon as its done. also there is a very cool theme for the transform and some of moment things do work on it. I am getting 9.1 on linpack. Go to SDX!!!!

I will be a much excited as you if we can get more community support for this phone, I have the same one got a few weeks ago... right now a current issue is that I flashed and screen is gone blank, even though it seem to be fine, I just cant see anything on the screen. no ideas what to do or what ROM to flash again or even how to flash when you cant see the screen come on.
It seems that some Russion people made a custom rom for it, but it is still not based on ICS.
Mediatek did not made their source public, so it will be difficult to port ICS to our phone.
So lets hope a developer buys one
Cheers
I have made a custom rom for B63M with dt a2sd support.....but it is gingy......
@Degogar:
Custom rom's can be found here, but you have to register first to download them.
They are also working on a ICS version.

Ill post the link IF im allowed to do just that.
(I cant seem to find the Rules and Regulations Page. Sorry. I know its posted when i registered but i didnt read it)

Thank you so much. any help will be much appreciated.

Man, the stock ROM for vega s5 is very good (of course you have only 2 option for language but I think English is very good). I am newbie too and if you really want to progress on your project, please share with me and we can do it together like a team. The reason noone answered is cos' a840s is very rare here
For the port ROM, I suggest we should use the Panaroid source for S3 north america or htc one x north america which is same hardware as pantech
Hi I just got an A84oSP, I'm in Korea and it's loaded with a ton of bloatware that I want to remove. Any link to a proceedure for rooting it, links to custom recoveries or links to ROMs, nothing fancy, (Stability > Battery > Preformance) would usually be my priorities for a ROM...Usually basic CM does that for me, but can't find any..
Since Im a complete newbie I wanted to ask a few questions before doing anything stupid.
1. I noticed people are already posting new ROMs and kernels. Do I need them? I mean, I like the stock and everything but there are a few things I can't do. Why do YOU root and change ROMs?
2. I found a lot of kernels, and I understood that it can improve my performance and battery life. I would very much like to improve my battery life. The thing is, I don't know how. I do know that people are UVing and OCing their CPU, etc but what can a noob do who is not only a noob but also just bought a phone that the rooting thing is new to it. So no everything is fully developed, optimized and ready to go in a few clicks. Do I still need to wait a couple more weeks to change my kernel? I always read kernel threads and their changelogs but it is like jibarish to me. I can't even decide which one to pick.
3. I would really like to change my icons in the quick settings panel. Am I able to do that? How?
4. I tried setting Hebrew as my default language but that just moves the whole interface left. Because in Hebrew we write right to left. It wasn't like this when I had my GS3. I used a few CM Roms on my s3 and they were fine until the update to 4.3. Then it did the same thing on the S3 but I didn't know it would be like this on the N5. Is it something that can be fixed? Can I email Google or call them about this?
5. Is there anyone who is willing to recommend personally some ROMs, mods, apps or any modifications at all?
Thank you in advance!

1 & 2 - I recommend reading the FAQ first, stickied at the top of this Q&A Section. This should give you a good starting knowledge
3 - would need an AOSP based ROM with this feature (CM / AOKP perhaps?)
4 - sorry, can't help
5 - No. This is against what XDA stands for. Read "No best rom threads" sticky in this forum.
1. All your answers can be found here for why you should root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510966 or http://lifehacker.com/top-10-reasons-to-root-your-android-phone-1079161983
2. Franco Kernel is very friendly to use and once rooted everything can be done from his paid google play app. check it out
3. Once rooted and with customer rom installed like cyanogenmod or paranoid android the themes you download from the google play store will sometimes change the settings icons too
4. i believe cyanogen mod roms have a good hebrew compatibility
5. Just start off very simply. use the cyanogenmod installer from the playstore and wait for the nexus 5 to become compatible. wait for the device to get into more peoples hands and youll see an influx of great roms and mods
good luck and welcome to the nexus community.

Thank you for your comments.
Kinda hard to decide wether to flash a different ROM or not. Hell, I haven't even rooted my device because I got it 7 hours ago
I'll be rooting it for sure, but I guess I'll wait a bit till CM or PA will come out. What did you guys install?

My choice was to stay with Stock ROM. I am new to Nexus devices so I wanted to see the subtleties between stock and AOSP.
That said, De-odexed roms are easier to modifiy so I flashed one of those

How are they easier to modify? I mean, how does it come to use? Can you give me an example?
Also, I see you wrote your ROM, kernel and UVing settings in your signature. How is your battery life?

Go to settings > About > tap build version 10 times to enable developer options.
Go in to developer options and you can change the screen alignment.
I second the FAQ at the top of this forum. Incredibly helpful and informative for anyone new to rooting. That should have everything you need, but I guess if I were to add anything to what the above guys (or girls) said, it would be to root FIRST before playing around with your N5 too much. Not sure if it's really obvious or not yet, but the rooting process will result in wiping your device, so it's generally recommended to get that out of the way.
That being said, once you're rooted, I can't recommend Titanium Backup enough for making sure all your stuff is available after any future ROM changes.
Lastly, welcome to the Nexus family =) Glad to have ya

thank! yea I watched a couple of videos and tutorials about rooting. I'll use Chainfire's tool that unlocks the BL + roots the device.
I'll stick to stock in the meanwhile, I'll just install Franco Kernel.

Its just easier. Every system app has an .odex file too that requires extra modification by a themer / developer. Deodexed systems don't need that

Hey guys converter from iPhone over here. Last time I rooted it was fairly straightforward and was able to get going quickly. This newer stuff is a little new to me.
I rooted my sprint s5 using towel root. Now what? I see roms like omega but none really say anything about the sprint model.
What should i do next to install a boottloader then a rom?
Thanks

Assuming you are a new XDA user. Welcome to the forum and be sure to read over the forum rules. They might save you some headache in the future. For example, this post should of been in the Q&A section but no biggie. A mod will move it if need be.
Anyways, about your question, this is the Sprint specific forum so all the roms here should be compatible with the Sprint S5 (900P). Some of the roms will be based off of Touchwiz (these will keep almost 100% of stock functionality while adding some extras) and AOSP roms (custom based on CM, MIUI, etc.) The first post of each rom thread will give you a good idea of what the rom has included, instructions to flash, what works and doesn't, and so on.
If you just rooted get a custom recovery on there and do a backup of the system and EFS first thing. As for bootloader, that is preference and may depend on what rom you flash but I would think you will be fine with what version you have now.
This is also a good thread to take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52456762&postcount=1
