[Q] Do you have to install a ROM to get xposed? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do I need to get a ROM with xposed on it or can I install it myself without one? This is my first nexus device so I'm new to this territory! Sorry for the newbie question

Xposed isn't nexus specific so the same rules apply to any Android device.
The point of Xposed is to be able to apply custom features without having to change rom or edit your existing rom, so nope - you can use whatever rom is there now

Your device does, however, have to be rooted.

Okay thank you - so don't HAVE to have a ROM right? I am on Vomers stock ATM so in theory I can just flash xposed on and done?
Just confusing because all the other phones I've had its just always been a part of the Roms I've used and I don't see one in the nexus specific Roms!

Xposed is an apk that you install. Then from there, you install frameworks. I've never seen it included in any rom.

It's included in a few ROMs which are just small modifications of the stock ROM lol.. And they usually come with GravityBox which is kind of pointless and you might as well use a full AOSP/CAF custom ROM.

Ah the sorts of ROMs I stay away from then
To be honest, if you're including it with a ROM, it means you either cannot be bothered to or do not have the skill to add teh functions to a rom, in either case - perhaps you shouldn't release a "rom" hahah

[Q] N5 won't change to ART...

So it's been a little bit of time, and I'm curious to try out the new runtime. Problem is, every time I try to make the switch, all it does is reboot. I don't get the 5-10 build time, and I'm still running dalvik. Stock ROM, Franco r16 test kernel, rooted, unlocked boot loader, etc. Any ideas what could be preventing me from making the change? Or a method to find out for myself?
TIA

[Q] Custom ROM Droid Maxx Developer Edition

I'm somewhat a noob to custom ROMs, and looking for a bit of information before I decide to flash a new one. I have a Verizon Droid MAXX Developer Edition (XT1080) with the current KitKat 4.4 installed. I'm looking to try the nightly CM11 out. I have already unlocked the bootloader, its not rooted just yet though.
In another forum thread located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654816
A user posted a link to http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960dt (3 downloads, I'm not sure which one to choose for my device)
I'm wanting to know if this build would work on my phone before I flash and possibly mess something up, and also does Verizon work okay on this build. Is there anything else I should know before flashing a ROM (I'm somewhat tech savvy, so the process seems pretty straight forward, but any advice is appreciated)
I would have posted the question in that thread but I didn't want to break any rules, which says to Q/A here.

Obviously you need to have a custom recovery installed and get root. All three of those builds are for our phone. They are "nightlies" that get updated, well, nightly. I ran the 2/19 build for a little while and it worked pretty well. GPS was the only thing that didn't work and I think there is a work around for that. Active notifications and touchless controls are not part of cm.
Sent from my XT1080 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
I'm not worried about GPS or the Motorola controls.
Do you recommend a good recovery to flash? Also I've seen people posting problems when rooting this phone with 4.4 installed.
Any reason why you reverted back? Didn't like it?

I use TWRP. No problems rooting the Dev edition on 4.4 the problems are all with the consumer edition. I've never been a big CM fan plus I like having a working GPS, and I just didn't feel like going through the steps to get it working
CM seems to be good for my first custom ROM, but for future references do you recommend another ROM? I've seen that PACMAN ROM posted a bunch, but it looks pretty buggy.

CM 11 is pretty much it for our phones right now. You can flash the firmware for the Moto X and try those ROMs though.
One last thing as far as rooting goes. Do I use rock my moto to root. Also if I should decide to keep my stock ROM are there any advantages to rooting other than apps like titanium backup etc?

So with xposed you can customize a current ROM without having to flash to cyanogenmod? I like the stock ROM but I'd like to be able to change certain designs (example: change the way my notification bar looks. Maybe battery icons and change menus within settings. Etc ) Just trying to really see the benefit of flashing another ROM if what I'm wanting to do can be done through a 3rd party program.

When I first installed CM11 it looked almost exactly like my stock set up using the Google launcher and xposed. The only advantage CM provides that I can see is the ability to tweak the kernel settings, if you are into that sort of thing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
I appreciate all the help so far. I think I will try xposed out and see what I can tweak as far as display settings.
I'm assuming no custom recovery is required for this, only rooting. I like some aspects of cyanogenmod but for this also being my work phone, I don't want to risk messing up my network settings etc.
When you root, can you still update your stock OS? Or do you need to unroot before each update?

ill look into it...also if you are referring to any sort of play services error...this has to do with the gapps that are flashed and it just needs to be updated from play store itself

I have flashed this rom with CWM recovery without any issues. I'm not sure why one recovery is recommended over another sometimes, but if you like the rom and want to stick with it, you can always switch to the TWRP recovery. There is a flashable zip available on here that works just fine.

[Q] some questions

Im new on nexus 5 forum so im sorry if i havent read some of these.
I wanted to know if CF rooting, i can underclock my device so i could save battery? And yeah i havent rooted my n5 yet. I need an easier way :/ those adb drivers driving me nuts with my windows xp(i know i broke my laptop with win7)
So yeah can i? I also wanted to try the display control(color changing) so does cf rooting do it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi,
You should read what CF-Root does: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/nexus-5-cf-auto-root-t2507211.
It only unlocks your Bootloader and root your device, it's not something to control the kernel (CPU) settings.
To underclock and use the coulour control you need an app (easier) and a custom kernel that includes the colour control feature, see the dev sections.
For battery life you should take a look at your use, settings and apps if you have a "bad" battery life, maybe something is draining your battery as unusual (it depends what is your battery life actually with what kind of use).
Can i install custom recovery with cf root? All these drivers are making me nuts. They arent doing well with windows xp :/

You need to flash the custom recovery via fastboot...
However, once you are rooted, you can use Flashify to flash things!

Just get the drivers fixed. If you run into trouble whilst modding your phone, you'll need your computer working with drivers to fix it so it's best to address that issue first. If you can't get the drivera working, DON'T ROOT. There are no useful shortcuts.

I don't use PA, so I'm not sure. However, the PA team has made a complete overhaul in their approach towards the rom. That's why you can't see any specific PA rom settings anywhere.
Besides that, the align thing needs to be done either at source or by decompiling the systemui.apk afaik.

I used to run inverted on my S3 all the time because of the battery saving it provided for the amoled display. Since this is a super lcd display, that's a none issue, and I'm trying to run everything white just because I can.
I'm still running stock because it's so quick. On my S3, stock touchwiz was so slow and buggy I had no choice but to install a new rom.
However, there are many more roms available in the international m8 forum correct? Is there a way to tell if they'll work with our phone? Or do they have to say it's specifically compatible with the Verizon variant? The last thing I want to do is flash something and have it missing the CDMA band needed to get data. Also would super CID basically allow flashing of any rom we wanted.

They'll say if they work for Verizon or not. SuperCID would allow you to flash any carrier Rom, but I doubt you would get data or anything, maybe 1x...that's more for like if you want to take your phone to t-mobile then you would be able to flash a tmobile Rom and be good to go (whether you get LTE or not on tmobile is a diff story).

Yup, stock rooted. Love it. I don't usually flash too often anyway. Just want something as stable and bug free as possible. So I'm thinking I'll probably end up running bonestock or cleanrom. I'm also extremely intrigued by the gpe rom.
I'll start flashing soon, but I generally don't like flashing too often.

Plus I ran bonestock for a while at 1st. I have tried all Roms an that is the best stock ROM he has lots of things enabled VZW hides. Only thing he is missing is eps mode but that is so easy to add via XML ...all you need to do its add another line for a quick setting tile like the rest of them an use value 30. Reboot an then your bone stock will have everything you need plus on the house teathering.

(Which I really hope you say yes as if so you can help out a lot of people by doing me a favor)?.....or have you updated to the new firmware 1.55.....myself I hate pretty much all google apps besides chrome an I don't really care for that just my backup browser so the gpe ROM is very well put together by @digitalhigh . I have flashed it just to see how it ran but google everything an no blinkfeed is a total bust for me..

Plus I ran bonestock for a while at 1st. I have tried all Roms an that is the best stock ROM he has lots of things enabled VZW hides. Only thing he is missing is eps mode but that is so easy to add via XML ...all you need to do its add another line for a quick setting tile like the rest of them an use value 30. Reboot an then your bone stock will have everything you need plus on the house teathering.

Nope, I don't have the original firmware.
I think my sister also updated hers.
Andy has done fantastic work on his roms since his S3 days. He does a great job adding in hidden features and keeping the rom as stock as possible. Really hope he continues developing for this device.

Why would you want to go backwards? Firewater issues?

No a lot of people r asking in my firmware/radios thread I started are asking for old radios cause they were stronger for them. With a pull from a phone that still has this we can make a flashable old radios. An some else wants the old firmware to create another safety net for everyone.

Got it, I think a friend of mine is upgrading soon, if he gets an m8 and it isn't updated out of the box I can pull it from that.
