thats one question that he wont answer. we all have differing wants and needs when it comes to roms(and kernels). so its always recommended to try out a bunch of different roms, and stay with the one that fits your wants and needs. go through the android development and original development threads to check them out.

rom for nexus S

Hi guys. I need to flash a custom rom on my nexus S and I need your advice.
I need speed and stability and good kernel.
For Recovery I'm going for TWRP-crespo
As far as rom goes I thinking to flash TeamEOS3-29, but my doubt is the kernel.
I would like your opinion/suggestion on the rom and suggestion on the kernel.
Thanks a lot to all!

What happened to the RastaKat ROM?

It has been my favorite ROM for the Nexus and now I can't seem to find the thread. It seems like it was deleted, but does anyone know why?
It used to be at this link:

What the previous post said, but the reason is Rascarlo doesn't want to build for a device he doesn't own

Makes sense.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm on rastakat now... Hopefully he'll find someone with the Nexus5 to continue cooking this classic rom.

...and what will be "custom" about it? That's the real question.
If you don't know what you want to do to the ROM, there's nothing to.learn

Download & install Ubuntu, the android source code, and compile. Then make your changes.
Evaluate your skills, if any, you might be better at Kernel development than Rom cooking.
At the end of the day, simply put, if you want to create a custom ROM, no whatever what base you use, straight up source or someone else's, you have a lot of reading to do, A lot of friends to make and definitely not post a thread about how to even start.

[Q] Looking For Newest Radio

I'm looking to flash the new updated radio from 4.4.3
The quickest way is best.
I have Custom Recovery but for some reason when my Rom was updated to 4.4.3 the radio was not.
Looking for a reply soon please.
Go to 4.4.3 thread in general and search "radio". That's how I found it.

Custom ROMs usually have the modem stripped from the update to make the .zip smaller and also because you can flash them at will. (I have all modems on my internal just to switch modems when I go out of state.)
But as a friendly reminder, please think through how big 4.4.3 was and next time Google search what you're looking for, you wouldn't have been waiting for us to tell you this if you had. "4.4.3 Nexus 5 modem"
Here's the link if you can't find it however. All the best.

[Q] [opinion] the most feature filled rom with best battery life??

there are hundreds of feature filled rom present for nexus 5.. so what according to you is the best rom and why..
this will help any new owner and flasholic like me to decide which rom to flash first :angel:
Nice try, but this is qualifies as a best rom thread. You're going to have to try some and see what fits your needs.

You're not a flashaholic. If you were, you'd flash them all and see for yourself, which is actually inline with the XDA rules
I'd go for the ios5 rom
