Camera swap - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I've seen a lot of threads about changing the battery, but not about changing the camera. Would this even be possible? The G2 camera connector seems to be the same and in the same side, so, if we could fit it in the nexus 5, the only trouble would be the drivers right?

I guess people who want to swap ol dis better go n buy the G2 and flash pure android into it...N5 is in itself is a very nice phone!!

Why not just buy the G2 and flash the 4.4.2 stock of N5 instead of trying to murder your N5, spare it some agony and just give it away and buy a G2.

sure.. then why have roms like cyanogenmod if i can get an oppo with cyanogenmod stock? Why have better camera software mods if i can get an iPhone? Why have sound hardware mods if i can get an HTC One? Why swap batteries if I can get an Galaxy Note? and the list goes on and on... The Nexus is to play with it, develop and so on.

thank you but what's your opinion about that "nexus s or galaxy s"
I donno man.
If you are thinking about changing phone and wont be able to go for the brand new and expensive ones, I would recomend you to go for the Nexus S.
I myself changed my LG O2X for a Nexus S, mostly because of the Google brand, the promised updates, and all the good stuff developed for the phone to customize it with.
And lets be honest. Samsung Google Nexus S is so god damn sexy

Yeah, ****ty LG didnt provide me with a stable phone.. reboots and bsod was occuring often with LGO2x.
Plus they didnt send out updates so often. I was still running Android 2.2 FroYo when Google updated their Nexus S with 4.0 ICS.
Atm LGO2x is on Gingerbread recently updated, and waiting for ICS in the end of the year or probably even next year...
To make a short story. I love Google Android, but not LG.
Thats why I changed for a Nexus s (same screen resolution, same clockspeed, not dual core though )

no.
its more than just porting. you need the framework for sense to work on the n5, and a kernel to support it. right now you have neither. its not a little work, its so much work that nobody in their right mind would spend the time on it, and for free!
trust me. the only people on this planet that want sense on their devices have already purchased a phone from HTC...the same company who lost 3 billion dollars last quarter.

I don't understand the point of putting Sense on a Nexus phone. It seems counterintuitive. You can probably get a One on eBay for the same price or even cheaper.

it is, and a variety of roms is good too. problem is is sense itself, it uses up your phones resources and will slow it down. you want a slow nexus?

I understand that but when I used the newer sense it wasn't as slow like the other versions of sense. So to me sense 5 wouldn't be as slow on our n5. Plus if it was then we could remove the bloatware to make it less heavy on our n5.

go ahead. make sure that you get the framework working on a nexus 5 first, then develop a kernel to support sense. really, it would be cool if you do. i wouldnt use it, but some would. the issue is that it would take a mass amount of time and effort to do so, and not many are willing to be so dedicated to it.
I came from having had 3 HTC phones in the past. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and evo 4g LTE. All good phones. Sense wasn't terrible.
I can say though the only thing I miss was linked contacts. That rocked. Otherwise I'm totally happy with stock android and getting updates when they come out, not a year later or never.

Nexus 5 vs. HTC One performance experience question.

I know these threads drive people nuts. I'm a phone junky. Over the last 2 years I've had at least 4 phones. Although i've had my HTC One since launch day - coming up on one year.
I hate skins on android. That's why I root and install an AOSP based ROM on my devices. I also like battery life and A2DP Bluetooth streaming.
So...anyone out there think the nexus is a worthwhile upgrade?. I'm already running KitKat. Software is no advantage the Nexus has. However... Is the Nexus a worthy upgrade? I have read that battery life was disappointing at launch. Is it still bad? What does the N5 offer over my One?

I had the One before the N5. Nothing wrong with the One, but honestly the only thing I miss is the speakers. I personally like the bigger screen, and I'm getting better battery life now. Overall better experience, imo.

My 2 cents give the nexus the skip.
i had the htc one and the gs4.. sold my htc one to get the gs4.. then sold my gs4 to get the nexus 5.. i think the n5 is way better the both the gs4 and one.. thats just me.. this is my first nexus phone i love it.. i been threw like 6 top of the line phone in the past 3 yaers.. htc evo 4g.. htc evo 3d.. htc evo 4g LTE.. GS3. HTC ONE.. GS4... Nexus 5 is my fev phone out of all of them
I went from the GS4 to the N5 and haven't regretted it for a second. Out of 12 phones that I've owned over the last 3-4 years, this is easily the best one.
Get the N5 and keep the One.

So comparatively...battery life is on par?
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Let me tell you a story:
Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted an awesome new android phone. He decided to buy an HTC amaze as that was probably the best phone on the market at the time. He got it 1 month after the phone came out on the market and it was awesome. He enjoyed using it for 9 mos. before HTC decided to stop supporting their FLAGSHIP phone! Alas that phone was relegated to ICS forever.
Then, his girlfriend wanted a new phone and he thought, well, maybe it was just my bad luck to buy the HTC amaze right before HTC decided to realign their phone offerings. The HTC One S looks very good and it has the latest snapdragon S4 chip in it. So he bought her that phone and 9 mos later, HTC announces no more updates after android 4.1.2!
Moral of the story: stick with HTC one if you want an obsolete android OS in 1 year.

Battery life is as good or better. I still have my One and mainly use it to play music, but the Nexus outperforms it in every way and also seems to have a better antenna than the One. Plus, the Nexus has ART which I know is not supported on the HTC One because of Sense.
It's a very worthy upgrade. I do miss the speakers, Aux Sound Output, and sometimes a few 'Sense' things like BlinkFeed and the features in the stock messaging app.
I was in the same Situation like you and i dont regret getting the n5 at all. I had the GpE of the one and still the n5 beats it by a longshot. Speakers and build quality aside the n5 wins everything

I had the HTC One before the Nexus 5 as well,and I love the Nexus. The One is a great phone, but the One has 1) A faster chipset 2) bigger screen 3) STOCK Android (yay!!!)
However, if you're satisfied with your One.. just keep it. Unless you're dead set on having stock Android. The One does have some nice features, like the speakers (yes, stereo speakers) and very good build quality, compared to the Nexus 5 at least, which doesn't seem to fit together perfectly like the One.
As for battery life, I would say it's about equal. They both have the same size battery.

Good luck getting a 90% working ROM for the phone once htc stops supporting it. The Amaze and One S ROMs all have major things broken on it, whether it is Bluetooth or camera or something else not working or not working correctly. So I would say software for HTC phones are important.

The HTC One does have the benefit of being a GE supported device. Can't predict how that'll play out yet. Besides that, you statement is accurate. I came from ATT with and Atrix4g... the hardware is still great. But zero software support from the OEM and all the ROMs available aren't DD material for someone that uses their phone as part of business.
Hence the move to my HTC One on Sprint/Ting... Just to find out that I should have bought a cheap used nexus s and waited for a N5. :/
The way that I understand the GPE phones work is that Google releases the operating system to HTC and then they optimize it to work with their phone before they push out an update. So updates still have to pass through HTC. If they decide to end support for the one, I doubt they'll continue supporting the GPE phone.

That's just it. Even though the UI of the GPE One is all Google, it actually uses the stock Sense kernel. Once HTC stops updating the phone, it stops for the Google Edition as well.

This needed to be said. HTC one to Nexus 5

Okay people. I'm closing in on a whole week with the n5. After being mugged for my htc one. The change to nexus was a bit sad. On paper the htc one is better in many ways. But in reality. I'm happier now. Here is why
Community
The nexus 5 is being show a lot of support. That alone s enough to take all the pain of getting ripped off away.
Clean slate.
The nexus 5 is nearly free of bulk. Its the pefect device to mod. Just unlock the boot loader. No Odin. No s off. No tegra recovery flashers.
But the most un talked about reason. Its not an android. Its the android. Directly from the mothership. Its like having the Jordan's that Jordan actually used! Not just ones designed for his fans. Its the tobacco from the Indians themselves!. Pizza from Italy!. An actual Mexican taco!. 1970s muscle!. Not today's! Its.. its.. Its Nexus 5!!!...
... That's as lame as it gets people. Thanx for all the help

ooh dunno about that boss - I think the htc one is far better with the stock rom. I had my nexus 5 for 3 days and got rid. issues I had were the battery been ****, hated the way it left smudgy fingerprints on the screen unlike the htc and the camera was terrible.
now granted I had one of the very first ones and I think the camera issue has been improved but build quality wise the htc feels better in my opinion

No, the reason might mainly be because the Moto X is a dual core phone and the Nexus 5 is a quad core. It will be a tough task to get it to work plus the ROM is so much similar to ours.
I'd like to get the OnePlus One ROM on our phone though. It has the "always listening" feature like the Moto X & the "knock on" feature like the G2.

No. The OnePlus One has a custom version of CM11 with special features like already mentioned that has not been released as open source yet. I believe it's CM11S.
Some of the features of the Moto X require hardware we don't have/can't access. For instance the active notifications take advantage of Amoled capabilities our screens don't have. And, though our hardware supposedly has "always listening" capability, even the dev that figured out how to turn it on won't release his method for fear of legal action.

What is so complicated about my question?
Moto X software is aosp with a few additions like always listening and active notifications. Both of those can be replicated but with poorer battery life. The software running the moto x will not benefit this device because those functions are boosted by the hardware backing them.

The moto x is near vanilla, as is the N5. I don't see any reason to want to port it. Its barely different. And the moto x exclusive features either won't work on the N5 period, and the ones that may would kill our battery.
Just my 3 cents.

Regarding the Sense 6 port and the (possibly) upcoming TouchWiz port by GalaxyUser, the devices they're ported from have similar hardware i.e. similar SoC/other hardware, the Moto X is quite a bit more different.

No. The OnePlus One has a custom version of CM11 with special features like already mentioned that has not been released as open source yet. I believe it's CM11S.
Some of the features of the Moto X require hardware we don't have/can't access. For instance the active notifications take advantage of Amoled capabilities our screens don't have. And, though our hardware supposedly has "always listening" capability, even the dev that figured out how to turn it on won't release his method for fear of legal action.

CM11S barely has that much new to it. If you wanted active display a lot of custom ROMs implement it, however as stated, the Nexus 5 does not have an AMOLED display and it'll use more power when it displays on the screen compared to the Moto X for example.

You are agreeing with me, right? Because that's what I was saying regarding the different tech.

Interesting. OP asked a question and made several responses, but when he didn't get the answer he wanted gave no thanks to anyone. That's nice.

Its not possible. There's a big thread on it somewhere here.
Edit: sorry, yes, you posted the thread. So far it hasn't been done. And trust me, if it does ever work....its sure to destroy battery life.
But, I do hope I'm wrong. Its an awesome feature.
What hardware moto x have for always listening feachure
