No, not with a custom recovery.
yes, you will still get ota updates if you dont mod anything else, you just wont be able to flash them.

at that point, if really the wanting exists, you can flash the stock recovery to flash the ota. but, its just easier to flash an aosp build when its in aosp via your custom recovery, and usually way before an ota is available

From what I understand it is just security fixes and no bug fixes? Is it worth flashing a new ROM for? I am on 4.4.3 right now and it is running pretty smooth.

If you're on the stock ROM I don't see why you're even hesitant to simply flash the new factory images.
If you're on a custom ROM it'll get updated in a day or so, if not, then already.
Everything will run smooth regardless unless you mess up something really badly..

I dirty flash my new builds over my old almost daily and nothing bad has come out of it. The only reasons you would really need to clean flash is to start fresh, test out a new ROM, jump a whole android version (4.4.3 to 4.4.4 is minor.. I mean like Jellybean to KitKat), or if something isn't working properly.

I am using xposed framework and gravity box. Will I have to reconfigure those if I dirty flash or will everything stay in tact?

You'll just have to go into Xposed Installer and install the framework again, your stuff will stay.
Seeing as KangaKat is hardly a custom ROM and more of just a few minor mods on the stock ROM with Xposed thrown on top of it (lol).. I doubt you'll run into any issues.
As always, make a backup just in case.

Ask yourself: Is security something that matters for you? If not well its not worth.
Creating a thread for this seams pointless.

You can extract the zip and flash the system, kernel, radio, and cache partitions separately using fastboot without overwriting your data partition.

How do I exactly flash those individually? I've used the guide in your signature before but thats to flash everything back to stock. Im not familiar with the commands to type, or maybe theres like a 4.4.4 with those mentioned that can be flashed via TWRP ?

You won't lose any data, just flash the 4.4.4 zip in your custom recovery. Don't wipe cache or dalvik. The zip can be found here.

Hi all,
I have searched the web, but haven't found an exact answer to my question.
I have a Nexus 5, currently on 4.4.2 (KOT49H). I am unlocked, rooted + Xposed and have TWRP. I want to update to 4.4.4 preferably OTA, officially. I would like to be able to use OTA updates from now on if possible.
Currently, if I disable Xposed, and use Suvival Mode in SuperSU and try to install the OTA update, TWRP intervenes and doesn't let me.
I would like to replace TWRP with the stock recovery so I can update OTA in the future. I don't want to wipe the phone to achieve this if possible. If this isn't possible, could someone step through how to update to 4.4.4 with TWRP installed — I'm on a mac also.

OTA is the least compatible and hardest way to update. Why do you want to use this method? It's the worst option available to you.

Because it would seem easier for me—AFAIK. Although this didn't work, this workflow sounds appealing to me every time an update comes out:
- Disable Xposed
- Enable Survival Mode in SuperSU
- Install OTA update
- Re-enable Xposed, done.
No USB, no computer, no terminal.
Is there another way to achieve this?

Running a rooting rom without a custom recovery is dangerous IMHO.
Without having to lose custom recovery
1) Download latest rooted stock ROM
2) Flash
3) Enable Xposed

Yes, whenever there is a new stock ROM, someone makes a rooted stock flashable zip of it. Also if you make any small changes to system, sometimes like adblocking, OTA will fail but flashable zip of rom will just override all that bs.
latest 4.4.4 rooted stock rom is in a thread which you can find i the resources section of the sticky-roll-up thread. You can get there via my signature.
That way, you can take a nandroid backup so if anything goes wrong after the update, you can do a full restore, where as with OTA you will not be able to with stock recovery.

I just think that way is easier....I wouldn't want you putting extra work in, if you dont have to. It also gives you more freedom to work with mods in the future too, or kernels etc

Yep it's all good. For some reason, I had this little fear of the fact it's an official stock rom, that's been "toyed" with. But of course that makes no sense really, considering I'm willing to install many third party apps and processes that could easily alter/mess my phone up.
Do the rooted stock roms get released fairly rapidly after the official one is released?

Yeah. as soon as the factory image is released. Maybe a day or two. Which is before 99% of people even receive the OTA notification

I used to have sony devices so i new how to flash roms on such phones pretty well. Now i moved to nexus 5. I need somebody to help me install twrp recovery and a good kernel (i found elementalx) for lollipop. Also i got a question.. If i get bored or need the warranty in order to get back to full stock will i just have to flash the factory image with the instructions google give us? Also if i flash the custom recovery will i have to reflash the rom?(by unlocking bootloader do i lose my data?

It should install the OTA without unlocking the bootloader, but if that's failing then unlocking the bootloader is the best option. Why don't you want to? There's no benefit to keeping it locked, and no detriment to unlocking it.

Well...I just bought it yesterday... and I don't know if this is offical device or fake device...because the backside of the device...don't have the cyaanogen mod based logo....and it has some Chinese word behind the phone cover...so I'm not sure that is this a regular one plus one device or a china fake one plus one.

The Chinese OnePlus One isn't a fake, it's just the Chinese model.

so its all the same? root ,bootloader and all those hardware.
the only different thing are those word are write In Chinese?
The Chinese version is missing one LTE band, but that's the only hardware difference.
So..if I flash custom ROM or kernel...will it bootloop ? Cause of different hardware from the other one.
and can yoh tell me the use of bootloader? If unlocked in this device... and is it safe for me to flash custom stuff in this china 's OPO?

They're identical in hardware, apart from the one missing LTE band. They're completely compatible with each other, so you can flash anything as long as it's for the OnePlus One.

Bro...first of all I wan to thank you for the friendly And helpful reply and so the hardware are same...just the LTE bandwidth are different right? so I can flash everything as long as it is compatible with OPO.

That's right, and yes you'll still receive OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader, even with a custom recovery installed. Here's a few threads you might find useful:

Yes, as long as you're currently on the build that directly precedes the one that you're going to flash. They need to be flashed in order. For example, to go from 33R to 05Q it must be done in this order
33R > 38R > 44S > 05Q
You can't do this:
33R > 05Q

Yea...I know...now I'm on XNPH44S...and I wanted to updste to 05Q
