Does anyone know if the developer hellsgod has any plans on making his hellscore kernel for the Nexus 5? I loved it back on the Nexus 4 and would love to know if he will be doing so.
Hi,
And why not ask directly to the dev?

Hi all,
Just wondering what the custom ROM development scene is like for Nexus devices?
Are they available or does it get less support as people prefer stock Android
I understand that N5 will not have many ROMS at the moment, but what are peoples's predictions?
I have a Galaxy S2 at the moment, considering an upgrade to N5, and just wanna know what the activity of the scene is like for nexus devices?
Loads to browse through on this site.

Welcome to xda Ben... basically, dev support is likely to be huge... probably far more than a person can keep up with
Sweet, that's what i was hoping for!
Thanks for your help
If the Nexus 5 is like the Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus development sections there will be a ton of roms. Unless there is some sort of encryption with bootloader or kernel that makes a root exploit hard to achieve. We already have custom recovery so that is a good sign.
Whats difference between Nexus 5 Original Android Development and Nexus 5 Android Development
so few thread, why need to make 2 different place for same thing?
One is for original stuff like CyanogenMod where they actually do work, and one is for people who repackage others work and add a theme or whatever.
My friend and I was having a discussion on the Nexus 5 against other smart phones in the current market, and we got on to the discussion on to its features that it has and what other phones don't. I know the nexus 5 was designed with Google in mind but as my friend mentioned I believe you can link your Google up with other phones as well? Or is this Nexus 5 feature? Or are do some features exist on the Nexus 5 that are not available on any other smart phone (android related) through a download?
Cheers

the nexus 5 isnt a phone made for special features to try and sell it. its more or less a developers phone. i guess it has 2 "features" that other android phones dont have. first is hdr+(but other phones have hdr, hdr+ is just better). and the second one is the important one, one that all nexus phones come with that others do not, fastboot oem unlock.

I suppose we can also say Photsphere (although there are other versions of this) and GEL (Even though GPE devices get this).
You also get Android system updates instantly.

Yes and no. Not necessarily for root users. We do see commits fixing bugs in AOSP before a Nexus gets a release. So sure, we get the quickest full releases of official updates but some stuff, aosp users on all devices will get before standard n5 users.
I didn't realise this until recently. There was a bug with the window manager on stock where floating windows would not float over other windows. I moved to aosp to get the fix as i was sick of waiting.
Nexus mainly only gets full version releases 4.4.1, 4.4.2 etc but AOSP gets commits that don't increment the version. One benefit of OEM can be as they release fixes for their crappy frameworks, they can also pull fixes from google whilst we're waiting for a new version

so, it sounds like, most of these "features" of the nexus 5 are more like the benefits of owning a nexus 5

This might be silly question, but i have been wondering if we will get the final Android L in fall. I am very new to this how this gets updated and so on, and i wondered if we will be left with only the testing version of Android L or we will get the final thing too in fall as official update to nexus 5?

Nexus devices usually get 18 months of updates after release, so yes.
Thread belongs in Q&A, not General.
The Nexus 5 will get the L update. Even ones after that

No doubt! Wouldn't make much sense giving us a preview and then not giving us an update
Never fear...it will be here!
Of course, that's what the Nexus line of phones were meant for. That's what this OS was built and tested on by google engineers.

The last major update for the Nexus 5 will most probably be the L release. Minor updates will happen like we had 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and such.

Hey that happened to me with ICS and my Xperia Play...
Just saying...
The Nexus 4 is still receiving updates isn't it? Question answered.

No, if L is 5.0, the Nexus 5 will at least get 5.1 as well. It won't be a question until 5.2, but the Nexus 5 will probably get that as well. Heck, we're pretty sure even the Nexus 4 will get L, and the N5 will get updates at least a year longer than the N4.
I see the same question by many Nexus 4 users. "Will we get an official Android L?"
I also think we (Nexus 5) will get an official Android 5.0 too.:silly:
And you really needed to open a new thread for that instead of asking in one of the countless L threads ? Hope the mods will clean up here soon.

I'm seriously running out of popcorn reading the craziness from this L build.

No, Nexus 5 would burst in Flames as soon as it's get the updates... i wont suggest doing that....
I think this thread has reached it's EOL. Your question has been answered in this thread and others multiple times.

So I have been with the Nexus 5 since it came out and I see there are a lot of Nexus 5 ROM's available already....my question is would it be worth it to make one more? because I am interested in making new ROM's again.

Sure why not if its stable, fast and battery friendly and maybe has some distinctive features that add value to the rom.
In a nexus forum? There's no such thing as too many ROMs. Build away!
