Hello,
I am currently running SlimKat stable build 7 with elemental x. My nexus 5 has been unlocked, rooted and been running custom roms since 4.4.1. I have flashed the 4.4.4. Radio recently and it's been working good.
Will i benefit from flashing a stock Rom apart from the Radio?? Will flashing stock fix any bugs I might have even though I'v e been running SlimKat with no problems at all.
Thanks.

If slimkat is running without problems why flash stock?

I must admit I simply don't understand what you're getting at here. You say Slimkat is running good, why change it? If you go to stock you'll lose features. Most ROMs are about as stable as stock by now anyways.
and radios and roms are completely unrelated. you can flash whatever custom rom, none of them include radios. radios are a separate flash.
Very true. SlimKat at has been really stable for me. Its more of planning for the next Android OS release. Maybe something I'm not seeing or experiencing but might cause problems later on.
Thanks.

This is my point exactly, even though I flashed the radio, it doesn't apply to the Rom and it's features.

I understand I'll lose the features, but maybe there are certain "codes" that the stock Rom has and custom does not.
You are right though, most custom roms are very stable already.

As far as I know, there's no good reason to return to stock. People still on stock generally have had problems in the past with other ROMs and prefer the guaranteed stability of stock. I know Franco one of our kernel developers uses stock with his kernels and his reason given was because it's the only ROM that can support everyone the way he intended and guarantees it works properly.

If you don't know what these "codes" are or how they affect your experience then they should be irrelevant to you.

This is why I am on stock. Seems like everytime I go with a custom ROM I eventually end up getting annoying system UI FCs. Very rarely ever get it on stock. Would love to ask what ROMs are the most stable so I can experiment, but alas that's not allowed so I'll stick with stock, but rooted.

I'm not familiar with Rastakat, so how is their history with ROM development? I ask because I don't want to flash it and then before long they just stop official development (like what happened with CyanogenMod on my Moto G).

Official as in from Moto, yes, you are right. But there are official CM10.2 builds out there.
since the op doesnt seem to want to weigh in on exactly what or why he wanted that particular build, this debate is more or less pointless.
there is no "official" 4.3, so rick is correct.
but there is a official cm 4.3 so palm is correct.
stock is stock, generally referred to as official.
a custom rom is a custom rom, official only means it was made by the cm team, nothing more, and should not be confused with an official rom as made by the manufacturer.
everybody is right, end of story

Ok, so I'm no stranger to modding and XDA but every phone I've always had I always flashed custom Roms immediately so I'm not sure how it works on stocks. I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader on the stock ROM with Franco's kernel. Can I install system updates or is it best to do that on stock kernel and does being rooted with unlocked boot loader affect it? Thanks for any help.

The OTA should contain the stock kernel, so you would just need to flash the custom one afterwards. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't see why it should be different from what I said...

Sorry, I wasn't clear: most likely the OTA itself contains the stock kernel, therefore it installs it instead of whatever you already have. After the OTA you should just have to (re-)flash your custom one back and be good to go.

worse case scenario you can flash an update zip but like previously mentioned the kernel is not what generally causes the issue but the recovery. I do not think you will have an issue but hey there are some nice custom roms out there with options give one a shot. Just nandroid you current setup
Remember custom roms are running 4.4.4

Yeah I know, I always use custom Roms cause I generally have phones that have some OEM ui plastered on so since this is already close to stock I'm going to ride it out and see how CM does updating for a bit. Especially since they promised L within 3 months after it's release.

1. Does not belong in General section
2. There are threads regarding OTAs which can be found in the first thread of my signature, which is a sticky
3. There are dedicated Lollipop threads
4. No and yes
Why do people think they will get an ota from Google when they are running custom firmware?

Are you also concerned about updates when there are new versions of SlimROM? Or Paranoid Android? Cyanogenmod? You shouldn't be because those are ROMs that you're not currently using. In the end, the Google image is just another TOM.

I know about ART vs. Dalvik, but why does it specifically not work on Samsung stock ROMs versus all other Lollipop builds? I'm just speculating, but i wouldn't think this has anything to do with the runtime considering its works on all other ROMs.

If you're not working with him then it doesn't seem like you should be calling it clean rom. If you're looking to make and share your own debloated but very stock rom that's inspired by his clean roms then go ahead and give him a shout out in the op but call it your own.
