Lollipop 5.0.1 home screen bug - Ram consumption - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have a Nexus 5 working under lollipop 5.0.1 ( not rooted )and, just like the 5.0.0, my phone bug a little bit after working a lot on the phone.
The Ram turns to + 70% of consummption and the phone bugs whenever I try to get to the home screen until I restart the phone ( almost everyday )
I use Cleaner to clean my phone.
I thought about going a full reset to the phone and try if this problem will be fixed ( I'll need ur suggestions for the best app backup )
If it doesn't work, I'll try to root my phone ( my last option )
So what you think guys ??!
PS : I can upload a video showing the issue I have if necessary.
Thanks.

I thought the 5.0.1 fixed the bug ..

Anyone ?

Try one of the AOSP 5.0.2 ROMs which has the fix. Optipop is pretty good. Cataclysm is good but it doesn't have the fixes in AOSP last I checked.

You don't have to root to have a custom rom. You just need a custom recovery

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is flash twrp with fastboot. Then flash the rom of your choice and see if it fixes your bug

I'll try that, Thanks.

Alternatively you can also reboot your phone as a temporary fix.

Are you wiping data when you flash the rom?
If you don't have any important stuff on your phone, I would just flash the factory images and start over with the rom process.

Please tell us also what is your phone's status at the moment. Like is your phone rooted with bootloader unlocked and stuff like that.

Well since he's flashing a rom, it would be rooted and the bootloader unlocked.

It never hurts to ask though. Maybe he did something different and bypassed something. You never know. You got to have the whole story. :sly:

When you flash the ROM it also flashes the kernel that comes with it.
So if you are using Mahdi ROM then everything is ok but if you try a different ROM you get the error constantly?
using the ClockworkMod recovery.
If you receive issues on flashing, double check your download. If nothing, I suggest using the ClockworkMod recovery.

The type of recovery you use will have no bearing on it, hundreds of people on here use twrp and cwm.
All I can suggest and it was suggested before is to wipe your phone completely and start over again. Something went wrong, clearly.

Not getting Android 5 update because I'm rooted?

I thought the Lollipop update for Android L was being rolled out. I'm on stock 4.4.4 and rooted. I also have xposed framework and Gravitybox mods added. Could this be why I am not getting the OTA update?

No, it rolls out in stages. But once you get it it won't work with xposed installed. Also, you have to be on the stock recovery if you're not already.

I actually just received the ota today and didn't change anything at all. What happens if I attempt to download the update even though I'm not on stock recovery?
It will fail and be a waste of time.

[Q] Unlocked/Rooted Nexus 5 (stock) gets error when doing OTA Lollipop update

I have an unlocked and rooted Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 KTU84P running a stock image that was updated OTA.
I've been getting the OTA update all day but it keeps failing to install. The error says there is an issue with the file in the /cache/ folder. I've been able to update OTA in the past until this version.
I wouldn't mind just using Nexus Root Toolkit to update but to do that don't I have to unroot and wipe the device? I just want to update without wiping the device.
Is it possible?

There is an option on the Toolkit to revert the recovery back to stock. Will that be enough to install the update or do I have to unroot as well?

The tool kit will probably return you to stock and wipe your device. Skip the tool kit. Just flash the stock recovery in fastboot. If you don't know how see @rootSU's sticky in the general forum

5.1.1 to CM12.1 advice please

Hi
Stock 5.1.1 LMY48B
rooted with TWRP installed.
Can I flash to CM12.1 just by flashing the zip from TWRP ?
will I lose any data ? Do I need to worry about bootloader or radio versions ?
If I want to go back is it as simple as flashing my nandroid backup ?
Thanks

As I know going from rom to rom you need to make a factory reset.
That will remove all what is stored on /data
All apps, cache and dalvik cache.
All other data insidr /storage/sdcard will be on safe
As I know stock rom cannot be restored, but I just take this device before 1 day. I don't know for that, because on mine previous phone that was impossible

CM nightlies include a radio and bootloader so you don't have to worry about that.

Even if I never tried you should be able to restore a stock nandroid backup thru TWRP (you don't flash anything).
Thanks I'll try this at the weekend ?

No they don't.
But since he's upgraded to stock 5.1.x already, everything is up to date and there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Google's bootloaders usually have good forward- and backward-compatibility.

From Jira:
Me => CM (AOSP) is the only rom which has a bootloader and a radio into its zip. Why? Could you remove them?
I was on the newest bootloader HHz12f and a radio from KRT16M. Every time I flash CM nightlies I have to update my bootloader and flash an older radio. Very annoying.
Thank you.
CM Team => Sorry, we will continue to ship both. It saves us more headaches in the long run. Thanks for your understanding.
It's as simple as that.

Custom ROMs have a check into their update-script for the bootloader version. If you don't have the good one then you can't flash it.

Rooting MMB29X

Hi everyone , i was wondering if any of you guys found a good way to root the latest version version , i tried to manually root via recovery but nothing , please let me know if any of you guys sucessfully did , thanks in addvance .
Yes, pretty much everybody, I'd guess. What method did you use? SuperSU? Doitright?
Best to think of all the answers you want and supply the info up front - you save everybody a lot of time, not least yourself.
I used SuperSU , 3 or 4 different versions 3 betas and 1 not beta then bootloop after every SuperSU installation .. Then I flashed the boot partition again and I removed the bootloop but the root was not there ..
