Hi guys, I have this question for the experienced users.
Is possible to build lollipop starting with the code from nexus 5?
As far as I know they have the same SoC. Is theoretically possible to change drivers related stuff and make it work?
I'm just curious because i'm trying to discover something solid based on AOSP for the One, but all the work is based on CM, and still remain the same until the release of oxygen i think.
Snapdragon 800 in N5 is a bit diffrent from 801 in OPO.

Yeah, not the same SoC at all.

I need opinions and this is what you need to know
Recently bought a Nexus 5 and I am coming from a Galaxy S4 that was my first android phone and I don't know a lot on how to root but my friend taught me how to install new roms after he unlocked the bootloader
I really like how "pure" the system is on my Nexus 5 and how stable it is compared to the roms i used to install on my Galaxy s4, I also like that it doesn't require me to install a new rom everytime the old one becomes buggy.
problem is, I also liked the extra features on the roms i used to instal, like PIE and all that stuff
now... my questions are, Is it worth rooting the nexus 5(also got a nexus7) or am I better off with it like it is ?????
also, do I need to look for a rom for my specific carrier (the phone is unlocked) or any rom will work?
thanks for the help

Any rom will work (easier with a Nexus device right? ).
Rooting is worth as per your needs. Rooting will allow you to use LMT Launcher (PIE Controls and other cool stuff).
Anyways you can root then unroot if needed.

Unlike Galaxy devices, where there are a million different carrier versions of the same phone, each incompatible and with different hardware to each other, there are only 2 models of Nexus 5 and EVERYTHING is fully compatible with both.
so the wife & i each have a 1+1.
i am a flasher
i flash almost daily...she is still running the stock 1+1 rom
from my experience every 1+1 lollipop i have tried has had some issues with 1 thing or another.
is there a stable enough one out that i can put on my wifes phone? she is not technical AT ALL!
currently im running the blisspop...i like it,,but there are some quirks...
any input would be great...

Your wife let's you wipe/flash her phone on a fairly consistant basis? If so count your blessings. My wife freaks out when ever something changes on her's. I gave her GPE Lollipop for her S4 and she cursed me for days.
lol helllll no!
i flash my phone alot....not hers...
thats why i was wondering about a stable lollipop...
She has/had lollipop on her Nexus 4,,,,but now she has the 1+, & she said the other day "why can i do this, this way on the old phone,,,,but i cant on the new"
so she is used to Lollipop not kitkat...& wants it...
It seems to be that you answered your own question in your first post. Wait for CM12S to be released in a month, until then leave her phone on KitKat.

Try temasek unofficial cm12 latest version on yours first. It's been stable as hell for me and others. U need the cm12 alpha modem but you probably are already running that lol
If you find it stable enough for yourself then move onto your wife's phone. But be warned, she may kill you if her Facebook/Instagram videos don't load lol (not that I have any problems with either)

I haven't seen one. Lowest android is 5.1

That is almost in possible.. But im not an expert.
Even Moto G (2013) cannot boot Jelly Bean if the Bootloader has been updated. This is due to changes to the Kernel, and how it, and Bootloader interrelate. In theory, a custom Kernel by a skilled Dev might make it possible.
hello all, I just bought this device for around $630 in AUD brand new with a spigen case included thought it was time for a upgrade came from a nexus 5 running AICP 6.0.1 HammerheadCAF with racer caf kernel also has the latest twrp so when it comes to flashing stuff I know what I'm doing.... anyway I noticed there is very little for the s6 compared to other devices ive bought from google so can you guys point me out to the most stable, most recent custom rom, looking for little to no bloatware As it takes up in size.... as far as the device goes I have not received it yet just getting prepared for when it does arrive. need directions to rooting and custom recovery as well not sure if the bootloader needs to be unlocked? I'm aware that this device is 64 bit so is that the reason for very little mods or just lack of devs?
I also noticed that there is such a thing called alliance framework which helps with customizing the rom as well as theming am I right?
all these things are considered so with that being said I would like to know what you guys are running and whats the best out there in your opinion at this point it time :angel:
Hi,
First regarding the most stable or best ROM, I suggest you to, as you probably did with the Nexus 5, look the threads and check for complaints of bugs and features, so that you can know what's the best for you. There are lots of debloated ROMs, and most say so already in the thread title.
About the lack of development, it's due to Samsung processor Exynos. Since Samsung takes too long or doesn't even release the processor documentation and development sources, it is very hard to develop anything that is not based on TouchWiz, which is Sammy's framework on the stock ROM. Recently the CyanogenMod Team took the Galaxy S6 as an official branch, so I believe that we will have a CM based ROM soon and I hope it will bring more development to our device!
I don't know about that framework, although if it's something that is used on the S6, then you will probably find it in any development or general section.
Rooting is as simple as flashing TWRP and SuperSU, although it'll trip your Knox, which is a flag in the bootloader that shows that something was modified in your device, there is no way to reverse and on most countries it results in void warranty. If your device ships with Android 5.0.2, then you can try using Ping Pong Root (again, just check the development threads for it), which is a root method that doesn't trip Knox.
I'm still running stock since I'm waiting to try out Samsung Pay, which requires untouched Knox. So yeah, welcome to the S6 family! Hope you enjoy your device . If I forgot to answer anything let me know.
All the best,
~Lord

Advice : Keep your knox working update to MM setback and relax the best and fast rom is Marshmallow
I am using Android phones since several years and had no problems finding ROMs and flash them. Bootloader Unlock was no problem back then on Galaxy S1, HTC One S, Nexus 5 and Galaxy S5 but it kinda surprised me that the S7 is my first phone which will "probably never" see an AOSP ROM because of the locked bootloader and the unknown software architecture of Exynos processors.
What has happened that pretty functional and stable AOSP ROMs are now blowing up on XDA?

What locked bootloader? Did you not know that aosp and exynos doesn't mix before you got the s7?

see the Exynos development forum there's a bunch of AOSP ROMs there now.
I'm also wondering what changed to facilitate all these ROMs working on the Exynos S7.
magic dude, im telling ya, in a period of 2 months, they already made it bootable and stable enought, not for daily usage, but really near to!
I think some devs were working to get aosp on exynos and Samsung.

Good to hear, still unrooted so i barely visit that section. When i bought the phone when it came out i knew it probably wouldn't get aosp, but after using touchwiz i really don't miss it.... omg i've said it!
