New things - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning XDA,
I'm probably not the only one here that has the same issue, so I'll just ask. Coming from the xperia Z the nexus 5 just blew me away. New phone , very exiting. But in the last few weeks that excitement kind of went away. I'm currently on Mahdi ROM with Franco r35 kernel. Now my question: what are fun new things you can do with your nexus 5 to get that excitement kind of back? I'm a complete enthusiast and I really like new stuff so I hope you guys can help me

The Fryetech Rom

The Fryetech Rom for HTC Thunderbolt
After making a Windows and Mac program to automate the root process on the HTC Thunderbolt I have decided to put out my own rom.
I kind of did this for my self but I thought I would share. And I will be making it better over time.
I'm making this rom to be as smooth as possible.
This rom is kind of Nexus One inspired but is based off of the stock thunderbolt rom
Right now this is a beta. Just thought I would post it up anyways.
I will be working on it more tomorrow and so on.
By stock it has the imoseyon leanKernel normal v0.85
get setcpu from market to get your phone to 1.4Ghz Sable
Please report bugs here.
This has been updated.
Sorry I forgot to add the gallery + music app. So It has now been added.
Also cleaned up system for a lighter rom.
Video and Download here.

being an ex Nexus One owner, this rom brings me back. seems to be running smooth so far. will keep checking back for further updates and see how far you can get this
PS, this should be in the development section, just to let u know
on another note, you should take off the recent apps from the notification bar and replace it with them toggles a lot of roms have now. i think its a neat feature. just giving u some feed back
Running the 1.0RC very smooth so far, im liking it and looking foward to future updates.

Not really.. You're not allowed to post "Coming soon" threads in Development, buddy haha
This runs amazing. With great battery life

Would like to see what's different about this and any other ROM...? Looks pretty smooth and such.
If this is the wrong group I apologize. I posted it after not sleeping much for 3 days supporting people with the rooting scripts I put out there.
Keep it here lol great stuff though amazing battery life

Would it be to much to ask if I asked if this can be put into the development section? This rom is to bad ass not to be.

you'll get more hits if you post this in the dev section. wow, i never thought i'd see a proper dev thread misplaced in the general section. its always the other way around lol
edit: i saw the video. slick looking rom, makes me miss my nexus one

Think of cyanogenmod without the cyanogenmod features? Better yet, think of the nexus one.

Really nice looking ROM so far. Is there any plans to have Power Control Widgets added to your ROM in the future at least with the option to have them on/off. I know a number of ROMs on the Droid 1 had this feature.

Nexus 4 and others starting to get Ubuntu, any chance for sgs4g?

Any development hear anything in the works for this?

Didn't we have a *nix loader available for us a year or two ago? Though I remembered seeing posts on that, but the links were dead by the time I decided to kill my phone.
Keep an eye on this.
THIS
Ubuntu stated that the OS works better on multi-core devices. We can still try to see if it works...

Seeing what it did to some of the nexus 4 peoples phone I think it's a crap shot and very risky. There is a git that just got his nexus two days ago and already bricked out from flashing a alpha build of Ubuntu mobile.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I messed around with it yesterday on my galaxy nexus. It's still in the very beginning of alpha stages in my opinion.
But there were allot of people having trouble going back to android afterwards on the galaxy nexus forums but no bricks. It's a cool idea but I think it needs some time to mature like android did.

Since Ubuntu is using CM as source I'd say it's possible. They seem to be optimizing it towards duel core(possibly quad by the time it's fully released) devices though. So why it should be portable to this phone the experience may be less the stellar. Think of running a new PC game on a three year old PC and you get the idea.

I hear it builds just like CM. A guy is building it for the Rocket as we speak. Or trying to. It's still so early in the development phase that even getting it to boot will be a challenge in and of itself. But you know the deal. You build it I'll log it. I'll have to look into what package would be needed to log it. lol

since they use cm as a base I don't see why it wouldn't since Erik got cm10.1 to work on this device.

That link looks strangely familiar. Maybe cause I posted it yesterday. lol See post 3.
I saw that on the galaxy nexus forums today I never looked at your link. oops

The biggest hurdle from what I seen posted is the transition of VM between android and Ubuntu. For the most part I think the issues with building and actually getting it to boot is the different Vm the two OS's use.
I wanna post the link just to say that I didn't see it on this thread twice already but here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
. It looks intricate but it's not really different from porting a new rom . I can't wait to tinker with this...
Looks like somebody ported it the the original galaxy s

Although it looks pretty cool, the only thing I use Ubuntu for is for Eclipse and I wouldn't program Java in a phone. If it's on a Nexus 7 (other tablets too) then OK, but why would anyone want Ubuntu on their phones? Serious, not hating.
Being able to run both Ubuntu apps and Android would be fun.

Any roms working on vzw SCH-i705+

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

I like you shakatu. you've got a sense of humor I can relate with. :good:
Yeah, I can be a little sarcastic. But he DID say people like me used to be super active then disappear to play video games and aren't helpful anymore. Not that we have a life and are actually, you know, devoting 12+ hours a day sometimes 6 days a week to working full time and advancing our education...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
Uh,,,,, that would be a NO then.because none of those lead to a working Rom or a working anything for that matter,,, development for this particular device is dead......that was why I made my remark...because most of you guys go to great links to impress yourselves but add very little to helping any of us that aren't as savvy,,,,, that's pretty cool animation but I see you really haven't followed any of those links in that real cool way to say nothing.....

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.

Few really easy questions before buying Nexus 5.

Hello,
I intend on replacing my Galaxy Alpha SM-G850A with a Nexus 5 D820 because the SM-G850A cannot be rooted. They are both in similar price brackets but I had a few questions before buying the Nexus 5; answers weren't found when searching.
A) Is there a root method for all operating system variants INCLUDING Lollipop 5.1? Can you please provide documentation/links for me to read over.
B) Many say the camera is terrible. I don't care a whole lot about the camera but is there a thread or website somewhere demonstrating photos from the Nexus 5 that are not resized or tampered with and in various lighting conditions?
C) Are there any known hardware issues with the Nexus 5? Software issues won't matter so much as I will be using a custom ROM.
D) Would you recommend another phone smaller than 5.5" display and below $350 USD?
E) Anything else I should know?
Thank you to those that take the time to respond.
Camera is ok(depends on how you use it,i took better pictures than my gf who has iPhone 6).
Yes you can root it even on android M.
The end.
What destroys me just a little bit on the inside is you went out of your way to do a few things that are going to piss off the whole community.
1. You clearly did NOT search, it is 2015 this device is NOT new.
2. You wasted time creating a thread that can be answered by AGAIN searching google, or better yet; the NEXUS 5 forum here on XDA.
3. I wasted my time typing this, yet again to another person who doesn't understand how to read forum rules before accepting them.
But to humour you.
A - YES. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+to+root+nexus+5+android+5.1
B - POOP (sometimes)
C - it depends on the custom OS you will be using.
D - G3 maybe? G4 if used?
E - how to search and use XDA accordingly, google is your best friend.
