Hi everyone,
Does Nexus 5 support Android 4.3. I am going to test a software compatibility issue. So is there any problem to flash 4.3 to my Nexus 5 ROM? Thanks.

there isnt anything 4.3 available for the nexus 5, so you cant just flash it. theres no 4.3 source for it, no binaries, no code at all meant for the nexus 5 and 4.3. so, how do you expect to just flash it?

Sorry, I don't quite get you.
Can I download factory images occam 4.3 for Nexus 4 from "developers.google.com/android/nexus/images", and flash it into Nexus 5. I am wandering if it works.

No. Nexus 5 was released with KitKat 4.4. There are no nexus 5 "drivers" that exist that will work with 4.3 because the nexus 5 did not exist then.

You can't just downgrade to 4.4.1 you need to flash 4.4.0 image and than adb sideload 4.4.2

How do i do it?
Is there any way to possibly make a rooted Nexus 5 continue to receive OTA updates from Google?
If so, please advise the best way
Thanks

So in this case I can still receive OTA updates from Google even with the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery by just leaving the stock firmware/ROM on the phone?

Ok, the Nexus 5 is my first android. And just as I learnt pretty much everything an intermediate user needed to kno (rooting, launchers, clocking, ROMs, kernels, that stuff), there comes another problem. 4.4.3. I've been hearing rumours about the new KitKat version, and it scares me! Coming from iPhone it was pretty simple, click update. What should I expect from android? Is it the same process of "New update, update now?" Click yes and its done? Or is it more complicated then that?
Side note: I'm rooted with custom ROMs and kernels, so is it like an iPhone jailbreak, will it f**k up my phone if I straight up update or do I have to wipe beforehand?
Sorry that's its such a nooby question, I just want to have knowledge of what to expect.
Thanks for putting up with me! ;D

If your stock - you will get it OTA and you just need to click. But if not got to the above thread.
If you're running a custom ROM you get updates from the developer, not Google. If you were running stock, you just go to settings\about phone\system updates.
Your ROM should update to 4.4.3 within a couple weeks, so you can be patient or go back to stock.

Is this the Verizon Nexus phone? And does it run on TouchWiz or original android (AOSP). I'm trying to start some research on that device.
This is the nexus 5. There is no verizon version. It does not run on the Verizon network.
Touchwiz is a Samsung operating system.. It only runs samsung phones. The nexus is a google phone.

Google stock is built on an AOSP base, just like all OEM builds are.
Google stock is not AOSP. Sure, it's not modified as much as TouchWiz builds but it is still modified none-the-less

LG Nexus 4 has ended at 5.1
How does Nexus 5 will end?
Marshmallow should be the last update (official support but we have custom roms )

"Android M"? What? Lol.
Yes, we should be getting 6.X/6.0.X, but Android N (if that's what you meant), is probably out of the question officially.
