Hi everyone finally i got rid of my gionee elife e3 version of Turkey and laid my hands on a Nexus 5! Yay for me!
But with apologizing I want to ask you guys a couple of questions.
Firstly, I'm on rooted and unblocked LMY48B build with TWRP recovery.
First question: Which ROM to switch from the stock one? Stabile and battery friendly.
Second is; I want to change my kernel to a one with DoubleTap2Wake. Because using the switch button with spigen slim armor case is not easy that much.
If you could guide me i would be one of the happiest Nexus 5 users ever.
Thanks in advance =)
Id recommend cataclysm rom personally. Not sure what kernels have that feature as i never used it because it's a battery drainer. But you can't go wrong with elementalx or code blue kernels

Battery life is alsmost the same on every custom roms.
DT2W is the opposite of battery life with this device. Some built-in kernels have this feature though or read OPs of custom kernels.
Runnin Chroma ROM + Elementalx. Best battery life I'v ever had ( trust me tried many ROMs )

Got my shiny new Moto G which I am about to Root.
Can you pls suggest the best rom if the aim is 1) best battery life and 2) stability. ? Is stock rom the best for this or will you suggest a custom rom.
TIA

My model is xt1033. Also if custom kernel is the way to go on stock rom, then pls suggest the best custom kernel.
So far, I'm using stock rom until now, I love the battery usage, i got 8 hours screen on time with 20 hours of standby.
with faux123 kernel and faux clock app.
If you wanna try a custom rom, i suggest Paranoid Android
the performance and battery life was good!
@OP, there is no such thing as a "best ROM/kernel". Everyone has different opinions/needs. The only way to find what's best for you is to head over to the dev sections and try a few, then decide for yourself which you liked the most.

Hello,
I am using Nexus 5 on stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow (MRA58N).
I read that Xposed framework is finally working on 6.0 (as well as GravityBox).
So I decided to give a try, but I realized that I need to root my device first. Then I started reading about custom kernels. Then I started looking through all the great custom ROMs that are availble at XDA....
Which option is the best for now for Nexus 5? Are those custom ROMs really that good compared to stock 6.0?
So I can't make my mind, what should I do?
1. Stay on stock (bo-o-o-o-o-oring)
2. Root and install Xposed
3. Get a custom ROM
What I want - more customization, 100% stability, good performance, good battery.
Can you guys give me some advice?
P.S.: I have a lot of experience with custom ROMs, I installed a lot of that on my HTC Desire and even installed Android on my HTC Touch Cruise (that came with Windows Mobile). On my Nexus 5 I tried MIUI and I loved it, but every time I still comeback to the stock Android.
1 or 2 or a few layers roms like Chroma I guess (I didn't tried). CM based roms aren't stable enough for now.
Xposed and Gravitybox are at early stage so if you need 100% stability, stay on full stock.

Nope but you can feel it by using custom apps like Amplify.
Custom roms and kernels don't really help for battery life. FYI http://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/
Hi all,
I know this question was asked a lot of times but I was away from this community for a lot of time so I need some info.
I'm using Back-to-Note v13.1 and Arter kernel last version.
I'd like to update my device but I'm not sure what rom+kernel combo to flash.
I need stability and a really good battery life, extreme performance is not my main goal since normal one is enough.
Thanks a lot!
Stock ROM.... when do you people finally understand. If you need root, just change the kernel and stay on stock ROM. The stock ROM is the fastest and smoothest with highest battery life.
I can understand and accept your point of view but a well developed Custom ROM is way better than Stock ROM.
Right now, the only stock one I'm interested to is the official MM release!
So hello everyone. I have currently rooted my phone and flashed TWRP recovery. And now I am searching for rom which has best battery life and performance. Would love to have some stock android look to it as having touch wiz for almost 4 years now is kinda borring. (Had S3 before, now S6). Would love to see some suggestions of which rom's you guys are using.
Thanks!
Hi xda community, just got my OP6 and installed OB2 pie on it; it has been great so far, been getting 5-6hours of SOT and lots of standby time on it, but just wondering if i could squeeze a little more out of it. Now im planning to unlock and install custom kernels on it. I've read the tutorials and scanned different kernels.
Its not my first time on unlocking and flashing stuff, I've been doing this since i had the sony p1, but it's been a while (Galaxy s7 days..) since I've done this, and need a refresher. so i was just wondering with the help from you guys.
1) is 5-6hours SOT normal for OP6 running on OB2pie on stock kernel? i know SOT is subjective, but I've seen other going for more than that, or have i just been spoiled from my previous device which had 4000mah batt.
2)What kernel would you suggest in terms of battery life and stability? (Doesn't need to be boosted or overclocked, leaning on flash kernel and franken kernel)
3) if i flash a custom kernel now and oneplus releases the public release of OOS pie. Will updating reflash my kernel back to stock? Do i need to reflash a custom kernel again?
Hoping to hear from you guys and thanks a lot!

When you unlock bootloader, it will wipe phone. Second, I use and i am very happy with flash kernel. For me as a lite user on op6 on beta pie 2 with flash kernel, I get some were between 3 to 5 days on a single charge with sot of 6 to 8 hrs. Too me, this is good battery life. when updating, it will put stock kernel back every time.
