[Q]Stable stock-ish rom with NFC polling options. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently running Cataclysm rom on my Nexus 5 and really like it. Very stable, and does just about everything I need. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like its going to be updated anytime soon, so I'm looking for an alternative that's current with 4.4.3 at least (prefferably 4.4.4)
I've seen a few people in the Cataclysm threads recommend Purity Rom, however, I don't see NFC Polling options on its list a features, and this is a must for me.
Anyone have a suggestion for a good stable Nexus 5 rom that's up to date and has NFC Polling options?

Have you tried rastakat?

Use any ROM you want, install Xposed and NFC LockscreenOff Enabler module.

I looked at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-rastakat-vanilla-t2541185
But I don't see anything about NFC mentioned in the feature list.

Haven't played with Xposed yet, but I may just do that if I can't find a rom with that feature built in.

I'm running slimkat on my tablet, and it doesn't have the NFC Polling option either. Looks like I may have to go with the Xposed option.

Yeah, I think its in AOKP, and probably others. I used to run those type of roms, but they were just too flaky for me. Too many random browser crashes and such.

[Q] Nexus s nfc mod question?

Ive seen threads about nfc mods that lets nfc work when the screen is off or on lockscreen, I was wondering if there was such a mod for the nexus s 4g with a jellybean rom?

They do? I didnt know that, Im going to go check and see then, unless you know some?
Edit: I looked into some ROMs, and I didn't find a ROM that supported it, maybe i missed it.
Hmm. I thought AOKP and SlimBean have one in the NFC settings :/
Maybe I'm mistaken.

Multi Window on Nexus 5

I'm sorry If I am asking a trivial question, but I just switched from Blackberry bold to Nexus 5 (Wooo big change) and now that I'm into rooting and customizing my stock android, I would like to add the multi window feature you find on Samsung galaxy s 4 to my nexus 5, so is this possible?
I'm not 100% sure but I think Omni ROM has multi window built it.

Yeah I read about OMNI Rom but I'm not sure if it's available yet for my phone .. Also for example can I have Cyangogen mod and Omni rom both at same time ?

There is a thread in the development forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523587
Also if you mean dual booting both Roms I haven't seen anything available for the nexus 5 yet. Or if you're talking about running both Roms together than no that's not possible
Omni's developers say they're almost done with multi window. Considering how efficient they seem to be so far, I guess that means it will be a few days. There are rumours of unofficial builds with glitchy multi window support but I can't find them.

The module hasn't been updated since Feb either. It's loosely based on XHaloFloatingWindow, so I imagine it has the same issues, eg not all apps working properly and inability to switch between full window and reduced (floating).

[Q] Is there a PORT of new peek notifications of AOSPA?

I saw the video and I am so fascinated about it. I would like to install it in my nexus 5 without needs to flash the beta aospa.
You're gonna have to flash a rom. It probably won't be ported to an app.

Why not?
OmniSwitch has been ported into OmniSwitch for instance.
However Peek isn't stable yet including important wakelocks atm.

that's true, but then again it might be like PA's Halo. Simply just not portable.
but now that i've though about it, perhaps it MIGHT be possible.
May be try using a similar app like AcDisplay ?

Tesla Rom lovers?

Just letting everybody know that their has been a Tesla ROM developed for Clark. Their is a test version only right now but its still bad ass! Go to android file host and search it. I'm sure we will see it posted to XDA sooner then later.
Great news!
I really liked their rom and used it on my Samsung Galaxy S2.
It was awesome!
But I'm already used to moto display, chop chop for flashlight And double twist for camera...
Will be hard to switch to AOSP for me ?

Chop chop and double twist are working on it. I've been running it for the last few days now, and it's my favorite ROM. The 03/12 build is better than the 03/13 build. The 03/13 build was chewing up my battery.

Nope, you have to move them manually.
I tried it for a day and it seemed very unstable and buggy. But so was Broken OS, and PureNexus. I don't know if it's my phone, or just the ROMs becoming more unstable than they were in February. I haven't found a DD yet.

Yeah :/ I had really high hopes. At times it seemed great. I wished there was a way to turn their theme from holo blue to red! I've been using black and red themes lately. I wish I could remember the specific issues I had with this one. I know Broken would be working fine, then just crash, and not power up again. Pure nexus only had 3/4 of the features working, and had all the notofication and scrolling lag that the CM ROMs have. Who knows. Could be my device.

I'm leaning toward it being your phone. Broken ran great for me as did Pure, with the exception of the music bug.
Alpha release is up on their G+ page.

Do you mind describing how it was unstable and buggy? I need feedback in order to fix issues. It's running very well for me right now. And I'm working on porting EAS from bullhead as well

I apologize, but I can't honestly remember now. I can't remember if that was the one that would have apps close on me, or open on me without any input, or why I used the word unstable and buggy. If I say something is unstable and buggy, it typically means I had significant issues, beyond the normal one or two things that just don't work. But I unfortunately cannot remember.
I would like to note however, I noticed that restoring my apps and data with TiBu seemed to be causing some of my issues with the ROMs from that timeframe. Because I flashed the same purenexus build twice, once with restoring apps and data, and once by reinstalling everything from the play store, and noticed a huge difference. Using TiBu was much buggier, on the very same build. So it might have been that.
Link??
Restoring system data with TB can cause all sorts of weird issues. I strictly use it to restore apps/data for everything else, but not system data.
Sometimes it helps to wipe internal storage too when moving from one rom type to another (ie, stock based to aosp).
I haven't tried tesla rom yet, but may give it a shot in the future.

Thank you for all of you rom maker, you make clark more wonderful . The only hope is to the aosp based rom can support dual sim, by now only brokenrom support dualsim as I know. I tried DU , orion, purenexus and your tesla, they all not support dualsim .I m glad to help to the best of my ability like make logcat ,etc.

Xposed for 6.0

I'm rooted on stock with twrp, wanted to install some tweaks for the reboot menu and status bar and I know we need xposed for it.
Can anyone guide me as to how to install it? I've read tutorials but wanted to ask the people here. I'm new to this phone.
Much thanks

good info, im just not sure why people use xposed as opposed to a custom ROM with the features that theyre looking for baked into the ROM
Because sometimes, there are many things "cooked", and if I need 1 or 2 mods, then I don't need to deal with all the bugs that came with custom ROMs.

thats pretty fair, but i dont really get many (if any) bugs with custom ROMsif installed correctly. Im not bashing xposed, i just think that custom ROMs are the way to go for my taste
plus, in my experience, using xposed on a stock rom is better, you don't have to deal with any bugs

It can screw things up fast and often! Haha. I use XPosed purely for boot manager and greenify. Those are safe on any rom. Unfortunately there are so many modules you can use on your phone that aren't meant for it. If you're not happy to screw things up to learn what works than it can be a huge headache. Lol. I gave up screwing with many of the modules. Oh. I also use it for no ads and background play for YouTube.

You're using it on stock? How does it improve the camera quality?
As I've seen... I'm using the s5 for a second phone while my first is a note 5 which is the best phone I've used, after I had to give away my note 7.
And also that the camera on the s5 is not bad either... I just don't like it when it asks me to hold the device steady while it's taking a photo...

no, im on resurrection remix nowadays and very much miss the TW camera. I ran MOAR for over a year and wanted to try out the AOSP ROMs that everyone was ranting about, and i rather enjoy several things about RR, but the camera is rather lackluster on AOSP. TW ROMs have access to the stock Samsung camera, which is awesome!! I really havent found much that just WOWs me about AOSP vs MOAR other than the fact that MOAR isnt being updated anymore (yes, you jsut witnessed someone remind themselves about why they decided on something that they had totally forgotten LoL) I spent a little time finding out if one could port the stock TW cam to AOSP, but apparently its not possible
