[ROM] RaBit 7

Nothing fancy just basic Android built from AOSP. Unsecured boot.img, You will need to flash Superuser and Gapps after flashing ROM if you need them.
OTA weekly updates will be available via ROM Manager or download.

What's the advantage to an insecure boot.img?

adb remount

[Q] Does rooting or installing custom kernels affect updates?

Hello all,
Does anyone know if you root your phone, or install a custom kernel, if it will affect Nexus updates in any way?
cheers!

Rooting no, custom kernel yes
Sent from my Nexus 5

root alone, no.
if you add a custom kernel, the updates will download but fail.

Thanks for the quick reply gents!

Will root get lost if the firmware gets updated?
Also is there a stock kernel flashable zip anywhere?

[Q] Build.prop 4.4.3

I need the stock build.prop for the nexus 5 to update to 4.4.3 as an xposed package edited it without a backup. I tried to use the build.prop.p in the Ota . zip but it didn't work. Thanks in advance

I updated to 4.4.3 with a modified build prop with no problems

build.prop.p is a patch - i.e. not a full build prop

Use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit:

Just to confirm, you want the latest stock 4.4.3 correct? But you will want root once updated? If yes, why not download a pre-rooted rom.zip that can be flashed via recovery instead of OTA?

I was trying to flash the Ota. Zip in recovery so I didn't lose my data and apps etc. I didn't know that rooted stock zips existed. Can you post a link.

Regarding Rooting Nexus 5 Running Lollipop

I have a confusion after going through various threads.
I have an unlocked bootloader and the device is running Lollipop and I would like to root it.
Should I use Nexus Root Toolkit or CF-Auto-Root.
I'm confused because somewhere I read that I need a custom Kernel, but I have stock Kernel.
I would no want to change my kernel as it will stop further OTA Updates which Google Rolls-Out, according to me. Please correct me on this too if I'm wrong.
I really need help. Thanks in advance

starting from stable supersu 2.35 modified kernel is NOT required.
stay away from auto tool

Flash latest SuperSU in recovery. Stock or custom doesn't matter.

[Q]Does anyone have a CWM flashable 5.0.1 ota or stock ROM or know how I can make one

Title says it all. I really don't feel like running the stock img since I don't have my own PC right now. Please let me know. Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

No. OTA no longer will apply if you have custom recovery.
Download an existing full stock flashable ROM.zip

That's what I was talking about. I can't seem to find a 5.0.1 full flashable zip anywhere.

Might need to wait a day or so...

Yeah just wait a few days. Some one will post up a stock rooted zip that you can probably flash over what you have now in a few days
