Noob question alert: How can we get the new OTA features if we are not on stock CM11S? Are they in the CM11 nightlies? I'm on a custom rom (SlimKat) but am willing to use another rom to get the new fixes. I guess I could go back to stock rooted CM11S but wondering if there are any other alternative. Thanks in advance.

CM11 will have these updates. Of course the rom you are on will integrate them but you have to wait for them to update the rom. The choice is yours what you want to do...

Hi all,
I'm trying ROMs for my Nexus S and I'm not a big fan of all modifications...
That's why I'm looking for a light ROM with no tweaks or MODs.
Any idea ? I can't find this.
Thanks !
What you want is stock OTA rom right?
I don't know exactly what's the name of what I'm looking for.
Is there rooted OTA ?

Yes, look in the development section. You want a rooted OTA or AOSP ROM, though a most of the AOSP ROMs have a few minor tweaks (optional power toggles in the notification drawer, etc).
I tried some AOSP.
I'll search for a rooted OTA. Thanks.

Well, if he doesn't have issue with signal, then you shouldn't have to flash the new ML1 modem. If you want to flash it anyway then here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313
There are a bunch of custom rom, either TouchWiz custom rom or just custom rom you can choose from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/development
If you want to stay away from bugs, pick the one that close to stock rom as much as possible.

What is your baseband? If your is already MF1 (I think you are), then just download the ML1 zip and flash it.
So I've downloaded all the stuff and made my mind to root the device.
Just some final questions..
1) I would be installing Xposed Framework on the device, will it hinder any OTA updates to the stock ROM?
2) If I install a custom ROM like CM, and then let's say Android 4.4.3 comes out... What should I do to update to the Android 4.4.3?
3) What is the need of getting Gapps when flashing a custom ROM? Aren't Gapps already present in Android?
4) Any other drawback of installing a Custom ROM?
Don't forget to search. Every thing you need to know is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47369234

Okay searching XDA is the best way to find out these answers, but I'll help you
1.) Using Xposed framework will stop you from receiving otas
2.) If you're running a custom ROM when 4.4.3 drops, all you will need to do is flash any 4.4.3 ROM that drops to update. Believe me, when it drops it won't be long before some 4.4.3 custom ROMs surface.
3.) Most custom ROMs do not include gapps. You'll need to flash those separately. Read the ops of each ROM you're interested in to find out if they're included.
4.) You have a Nexus, they're made to be rooted. Lol

If you're using a custom ROM though like CM, 4.4.3 doesn't really matter. Since it's a custom ROM it won't be releasing an update at the same time as google. It would be whenever CM releases their update that's based on 4.4.3. Anyone should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though. I'm fairly new to everything as well.
I have not unlocked my bootloader.. And have many things on my device [Been Using It For Over A Month]
I have many apps, contacts, app save files [games], etc.
Will I need to re-download all the apps again? Is there any way i could preserve this data? What all can I preserve.
Also, any Custom ROM suggestion. I liked Paranoid Android, but it releases a new beta like every week... This means that I'll have to flash it again? Leading to data loss every time?
I use this device as my primary device
Use helium to backup. We will not suggest you a rom.

Hi,
No need to flash obviously all the new update if you don't want unless there is an important bug fixed or a new feature you want. You can dirty flash (wipe only Dalvik cache and cache partition) so you won't loose your data.

Because it turns into something like "best" rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-rom-kernel-threads-t2477889... And you will have 20 different suggestions depending of each users needs, it will not help you more.
You need to test by yourself, read the OP of the rom threads to see the features, issue, videos, etc... read the last pages of the rom thread for feedbacks.
So.. I just want customizations to make android fun.. Paranoid would be fine?

Here is the list of ROMS for Nexus 5, http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...dex-google-nexus-5-roms-kernels-mods-t2475401
Hi folks
I am using ressurection remix v5.4 android 5.1 based custom ROM on my N5 for a couple of days and facing some bugs which are
1. When I change app drawer animation sometimes app icons don't show on the whole page.
2. When screen rotate sometimes notification keys don't appears.
3. Facebook messenger doesn't popup. I can't use when I am using another app.
4. Most of the time when I restart the phone, 'android is optimizing the apps xx of xx' appears.
And some other bugs those I can't remember right now.
So I decided to change the ROM but confused which one to choose.
My need is a stable custom ROM with some beneficial changes and most importantly with no bugs.
I really need your help folks.
Thanks

I had no idea about xposed as I m not very expert android user. after ur reply I googled it and liked the idea. But only one thing I don't want to loose is the USB storage support because I didn't find this on stock rom without using any app.
I've been running Cataclysm for a few weeks now
Combine that with ElementalX kernel and my phone has been rock solid, great battery life (some of the best I've seen out of it) and I couldn't be happier.

Cataclysm rom uses stock kernel, you have to download ElemetalX separately. First flash rom and than flash kernel, but you don't have to wipe anyting before kernel flashing.

Thanx dimi3ye....last night I flashed the cm12 nightly caz I downloaded it before and installed the elementalx 2.10 stock/aosp version. Very much satisfied with the kernel as its giving me pretty good standby battery life though I m using the dt2w option and most importantly impressed with the sound gain option.
But still worried about custom ROM because cm12 launcher still has some bugs. So I need to know about cataclysm ROM what are the best picks of the ROM and the stability.

Cataclysm is based on factory images, so it is rock stable rom with excellent features. For me, Cataclysm is best rom so far.

Your curent kernel will be reflashed with kernel that comes with Cataclysm... Read first page on Cataclysm tread for flashing instructions, because latest version is sometimes just update (~ 30mb), and first you have to flash major, big version (~ 550mb) before that update...

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you... You have to flash updates via recovery.

Gapps are included in rom. Usually, just flash latest update, if something else is needed, there is a description.

2.8.5.2 is fine... stable release means that every feature works perfect, beta is also rockstable rom, but new added features might have small issues (usually everything works perfect). I always flash latest whether is stable or beta, never had issues.

Hey, i have given my oneplus one to a friend which is currently on darkobas 6.0.1 rom (17/03/2016)
I want to update it to a nougat rom, can you tell me what steps i'll have to take, also i've moved onto a different phone since over a year so i have no idea which are good roms. i did read the threads but would prefer a recommendation.
I'm looking for a rom which is stable and won't keep rebooting randomly and i don't care about updates, just need a stable rom and want to forget about it.

What's more stable than this?,

Flash and forget, though recommended to dirty flash updates when sultan releases.
BTW,which device you're using now?
