Hey I was wonder what roms, Kernels, or other modifications are you guys running on your nexus 5's. I am running cataclysm ROM, Chaos kernel, Dalvik and Bionic optimizations, volume boost, Faux gamma tweaks, and Jishnu's camera mod. So far it seems to be working well. +Twrp and root ( duh)
Stock everydamn thing

Pretty much this. The only thing I have changed is I flashed the optimized Dalvik library files. Other than that I am running TWRP Recovery and SuperSU for root.
Stock ROM, stock kernel, xposed w/ gravity box.

this combo is fantastic
Mahdi rom and franco kernel. Absolutely amazing combo IMO.....
Do you guys prefer franco over chaos? and if so can you use gamma tweaks on franco?
stock, franco and xposed with gravity
Rooted stock. I'm all over *all* over the place considering which rom to go with. Vanir, Cataclysm and SlimKat all have their attractions.
Paranoid Android 4.0BETA - but doesn't really matter, I could go back to stock and be just as happy, the current ROMs are pretty basic.
Stock rom, elementalx kernel, xposed gravitybox.
Stock rooted on ART. I was on Purity and Franco for a while, but the battery life just wasn't doing it for me. I've also tried stock and Gravity Box, which is awesome but isn't compatible with ART. Basically, I keep coming back to stock with ART because nothing I've found beats it for smoothness and battery life.

Have you tried cataclysm with ART? It breaks my camera app but is just as smooth as stock. Or have you tried the dalvik optimizations, they may dalvik on par with ART.

I use the camera all the time so I won't flash anything that breaks it. My personal experience with the Dalvik/bionic optimizations is that they make the phone benchmark like a beast but don't actually improve day-to-day usage at all. When I switch back to ART, there's still a noticeable difference.

I agree, especially when combined with ART. However, stock is also quite good. There is not a compelling need for a custom ROM with this device.
Cataclysm rom 4.4.2, elemental 0.21 kernel with cooler colors and swipe 2 wake/lock, twrp recovery, viper4android(on every one of my Android phones) , dalvik and bionic optimization. Just as smooth as art if not smoother. Benchmarks higher and I get to keep my xposed framework.

I'm guessing swipe2wake costs maybe an extra 2% battery per hour due to the phone not being put in deep sleep?
I'm using Cataclysm, Faux Kernel, ART, TWRP,

Currently running MIUI 1.99 with Matr1x #5 kernel. Looking to flash a new ROM and/or kernel as it's been awhile. There's so many of each that I don't know where to start. My main priorities are stability and speed.
The only other ROM I've used is Cyanogenmod but I had a lot of issues with random reboots. Have these issues gotten better?
Any ROM suggestions? Thanks
Rooted stock with Matr1x. I recently switched back after months on CM7 doing the nightly flash routine. Don't miss it a single bit.

I don't even remember what the stock rom is like. I got cyanogen almost inmediately after getting my phone. Perhaps I'll try stock... what's the best way to go about doing this? Do i need to unroot my phone?

backup apps with titanium backup + factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik) + flash stock rom.
here you can find a great collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
you DO loose root by flashing a stock rom, but you just have to re-flash superuser (and maybe cwm if needed). I find the stock gingerbread rom very fast and reliable.
Plus, you'll receive the ICS ota when it's ready
(but you'll need to flash the stock recovery)
Wait another 2-3 weeks and flash ice cream sandwich.

Flash deck 1.3. Really fast stable and great battery life. Its just like stock rom with a few extra tweaks. Has some of cm7 mods without the bloat. Has toggle switches on the drop down and some status bar tweaks but very stable and like I said its close to stock. Running it with matrix 9.0. Give it try.

Sorry man its in the nexus s 4g dev section but i cant find it on the GSM dev section. You can always try oxygen rom which is very similar to deck which I was running before I flashed deck. Has the same kind of tweaks more or less. Was also a really good rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285243
give carbon a shot. it's based on oxygen but gives better performance than any rom i've used since getting this phone

Nexus mv paired with franco kernel

I'd suggest NSCollab and a trinity kernel. This combo worked well for me but I caught the flashing bug since getting this Nexus S and now I'm off to try Nexus MV.
you should try superosr rom (AOSP), very fast and include CM settings as well
I've been trying all NS Roms, and I'll prefer NSCollab because,
-Fast and stable (Near 5000 in quadrant)
-Never had a random reboot
-Extremely stable at 1,2GHz
-Probably the best CM7-based ROM
I don't give a opinion about which kernel u need to use, because they are all awesome, for the highest score in Quadrant, use the Trinity TUV kernel.
But I like the Netarchy or Matr1x kernel more because they are more stable in my eyes. I hope this will give you some more information
U can also wait for ICS (IceCream Sandwich), it will be awesome too.
I'd suggest stock rom + stock kernel.
lower quadrant score but higher performance
Oxygen 2.3 with Matr1x
4097 quadrant at 1,3Ghz.
*UPDATE*
Try the Franco.Kernel, tested it, very stable and high performance.
Greets.
Matr1x all the way bud lmao

You will lose your data when you unlock your bootloader. If you have already done this, then you can safely flash Franco kernel without wiping your data.

And yes, it is very compatible with ART. Been running it since day 1, very smooth performance by Franco.
You can look in the Franco's FAQ thread as well as the Franco kernel thread for all the answers that you have asked. I am on the xda app so I can't get you the URL but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Is Mahdi-Rom AOSP or CM (CAF) based?
I've been researching of this for the whole night last night but keep on finding mixed answer.
and now I'm hoping for you guys to answer me...i wanted to install elemental x but don't know which version to install aosp or cm
and will franco kernel be comparable since its for aosp?
Thanks soooo much to who ever answer this...!

Its AOSP with CAF stuff in it. Just flash one and if it doesn't boot reflash the ROM and flash the other.

make a backup in recovery and just flash the darn kernel. if its not compatible, it wont boot. then you can either flash a known booting kernel or restore the backup you made in recovery. that's the quickest way to find your answer.

Haha this really is a good question though. I myself didn't know either. I had been under the impression it was full AOSP.
Last time I ran Franco kernel on it though all was fine.

Quite a few ROMs say AOSP but have CAF parts lol. Rarely are ROMs full CAF though, the only one that I know of is CM of course. Some AOSP kernels work with hybrids and some only do after modification.
An AOSP Dalvik will only boot up on full AOSP ROMs so it the Z2 Dalvik boots, it's full AOSP. If a CAF Dalvik boots, it's either hybrid or full. Nice way to tell

Hey back from playing with the note 3 the past few months. Running cm11 on my red nexus right now but I've fallen off the kernel game. Any recommendations? I remember running Mahdi ROM with a experimental x kernel. Looking to oc this a little bit
Just look for the features you want. Find the features because otherwise, they're all good.

and its cm, so it has to be a cm compatible or CAF kernel. aosp kernels will not work on cm.

Hello guys,
I'm new to Nexus 5 as well.
I have been using Chroma for few months now/

The version I installed on mine is: 8-10-2015 built.
I have been following the post lately,
many people said, 'franco.Kernel' is a good Kernel.
how do I check if I already have franco kernel installed?
I went to About page, it says: 3.4.0-gbebb36b [email protected]#1
also,
if I want to go with franco kernel, what advantages will i get?
do i just need to download this app thru google play to install the franco kernel?

That is stock kernel. Recommend using blu_spark (aka code_blue) over franco.kernel. I won't say FK is abandoned, and it is a good kernel, but it's just not updated for the N5 much anymore. Same thing happened to the N7 2013. When the devs move on, you should also.
What do you get with a custom kernel? They say battery, performance, etc. Most of it is negligible at best. You'll need to read the kernel OPs.

Better battery life? Negligible.
New features like color control, governors (highest impact on battery life), S2W, DT2W, USB fast charge... It varies for each kernel.

I suggest you to read (again & again) the kernel threads on XDA before flashing anything. Franco is a well known kernel but we have other awesome kernels.
so my nexus 5 is stuck on the bootloop or the chroma logo...
I flashed:
1) chroma_hammerhead-ota-2015-10-05.zip
2) tk_gapps-modular-nano-5.1.1-20150927-signed.zip
then the nexus 5 was able to boot fine, and I saw the phone already has SuperSU came with the Chroma ROM
3) I went ahead download the BusyBox, and installed
4) reboot to recovery , and flashed blu_spark_r30-6.0_hammerhead_40fbe53.zip
my phone is not stuck on the ChromaLogo .....
I have also tried,, on the step 3, I flashed without installing Busybox.. It's a no go either..
any help would be appreciated..
Thanks
