5.1.1 adds RAW image support. It also has a flurry of bug fixes and security patches. As long as you don't care about root I would say go for it.

When Samsung announced the 5.1.1 update, camera improve Mrs were the biggest part of the update. I know that many users have said the camera improvements are there. I actually have seen photo samples and they look pretty good.

Don't update! The battery life of the preinstalled stock ROM is a little better as is the case in almost all smartphones.
I wished I didn't update, but the thing downloaded the update automatically
Nothing wrong with 5.1, but I find 5.0 battery life is better!

I find 5.1 battery life to be not too bad.
If you're willing to forgo all the patches, updates and improved RAM just for the sake of battery life, be my guest.
Yeah definitely update the phone. When I first got it the phone was very laggy compared to my m8 but with the update it's gotten better. Don't get me wrong, it still has its lags here and there but not nearly as much as before

Holding back on installing the update doesn't make sense to me.
The update includes various features, improvements, tweaks and fixes. Why wouldn't you apply it?

You can root 5.1.1 but some roms aren't updated to 5.1.1 so you won't be able to flash them due to the new bootloader also once you go to 5.1.1 there is no going back to 5.0.2 due to the new bootloader so I would just use a 5.1.1 ROM unless that has WiFi issues for you then just update.

Hi guys most of you might find this question silly but there are some of us newcomers who are still getting into this!
So, I rooted my phone, have ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, version 3 and my question is how we're going to update to official GB when it becomes available? Will we do it through official T-Mobile update, or will some of you guys make it available for us?
Thank you all!
Yes...
you should be about to get it either way. If you get the official update you will probably lose root... If you wait a few there will be a rooted version posted by one of the many xda members...

One more dumb question: Why is everybody so excited about the official GB update, when we have right now a few GB leaked versions with some custom ROMs (Bionix from TeamWhiskey, etc... ) available, for which as I hear, many say are excellent? Is this official one gonna be better in any significant way than these custom already out? Thanks! )

It will come with an official GB kernel and hopefully updated battery drivers and A2DP functionality...Amongst other LG fixes (again, hopefully).

OK, I get it... So, all these unofficial GBs are sort of limited because they lack these LG stuff they're (hopefully) putting into the official one. That's why it's smart to wait a bit more.
Hopefully it will fix most or all the problems.

Yes, that's the case. The leak has issues (which makes sense, it's not a finished build), and almost all Gingerbread mods are based on the leak so they have the same issues. I know CM7 is using the Gingerbread source instead and has fixed a lot of the issues, but not all of them.
The official update is not only going to be completely stable (hopefully) but will come bundled with better drivers/kernel support which will fix most of the common issues with the phone (hopefully).
I've gone through an Over The Air update to Android before, and if it's like what I experienced, you're going to get a pop-up that asks if you want to update now or later. Choose later if you want to keep root, someone here will have the official build rooted probably within the hour but definitely within the first couple of days.
In the mean time though, don't be scared of trying out one of the ROMs that are available. I swear by CM7, but I've heard wonderful things about EagleBlood and Ultimate too.

I have heard that official updating the rooted phone could actually brick it? And when a mod is nightly version, does it mean it it not completely stable? I am interested in CM7, but I could not find a stable version on their site.
Thanks!
i have question also since it's related to thread title. i'm running stock right now but rooted. once i update to gingerbread cm7, will i have to install all apps and settings all over? and will call log and stuff like that disappear also?

You should be able to get all of that stuff after startup my hitting the square boxes in the initial setup. Worked for me yesterday with the Eagleblood 2.3.4 ROM, when someone recommended it to me rather than Titaniumbackup which screwed up my phone a lot because I went from Froyo to GB

When I did an OTA update, it kept all of my apps and settings. I can't remember if it preserved call log.

I don't know if it will brick or not, my OTA was not rooted. And CM7 nightlies are NOT completely stable, but they're on build 58 by now and the ROM works perfectly fine. The only issue I can see with the phone is the top bar they added to the notifications menu that has toggle-able settings like WIFI, GPS, etc sometimes doesn't show up and in the camera, it calls both cameras "back" instead of one being "front".
But if you're concerned with stability that much, use the leak or EagleBlood.
This question is towards those who have used xboarder56 or doniqcc roms, which doesn't update the baseband.
Have you noticed any improvements in GPS? Battery?
Are you sure they didn't include the be baseband? I'm on xboarders now.. Whats the old base band and whats the new.ill check my settings info
old baseband should say Mar 27 the new one which i belive the only way to get it right now is to use the LG updater is July 15. I don't think there is away to flash just the baseband yet. Don't quote me but i am pretty sure if you want the new baseband you will have to update using the LG updater.

I got the update through the lg updater and I can tell you that is instant lock.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
In fact I was just about to reflash my Stock Froyo backup as I was getting better GPS and Battery with former pre-upgrade arrangement. Granted the udpate runs very smooth, but if it does not improve my battery life I will just as soon return to Froyo and wait for the official OTA.
With that said, if there was a way to flash the baseband, is the thinking that this will improve batery and GPS.
I can tell you the Battery life on this GB release is WAY better than any other leaked/CM7 rom. I can easily squeeze more than a day out of this GB if i configure things differently. GPS on the other hand is like 2/3secs or instant lock. ALL other roms and Froyo i can never get a lock. Takes about 2-3mins if lucky and i kid you not.

I got my Moto G mid-October 2015 but I opted for the version with 1GB RAM because of budget constraints. At first it performed pretty well even while doing a bit of multitasking, but now I'm just having problems; excessive lag during the animations and loading apps, slow multitasking, apps closing frequently in the background, battery drain and etc. How do I rectify this? I have tried limiting the number of apps allowed to be on in the background, using Greenify, factory resetting and even installing custom ROMs.
This is kinda putting a damper on things for me. Any help would be appreciated ;3
i'm actually amazed with the performance i can pull out of my device.. try a lightweight rom with flashhhh's kernel
Or try to flash the original Stock Firmware again via Fasboot.
Another thing what i have seen at my Sons Mobile is the SD-Card was slowing down the hole Mobile.
Just put for testing your Sd-Card out and try again. If its so, the just save your Data of your SD-Card, format it and put it back to your Mobile.
Hi... Same problem here... And i've tested the sdcard and the results were about 33 mb/sec for reads and 16mb/sec for writes... any rom to recommend? Maybe CM 13.1 ? I've tried CM 12.1 but it does the same... slow like hell even some times it completely freezes....Also with every restart it starts optimizing just one app... all the time... with stock 5.1.1 , with stock 6.0, with cm 12.1..... any help or advice?
PS: I just use (and need) facebook, fb messenger, fb pages and whatsapp.
Thanks in advance!
I'm using a Sandisk Ultra 32gb card since I started soak testing MM when it first came out and have every app that will go to it moved. I've never had a freeze or any slowdown. The only problem I've ever had is sometimes on a reboot the moved apps are greyed out until I restart Nova launcher. That seems to happen only with the beta Nova I'm running so it may be Nova.

I'm on MM too... I'm trying using Nova right now... will see...
Mine is 16gb but started to have similar issues (slow loads, some freezes). The solution was to stock rom & kernel and added my SD Card as internal storage (I can't explain why did it help either).

Which one? v1.0 or 1.0a? And how did you do to stop the update service? It never stops asking for upgrade to MM... Or if I do the upgrade, it will replace the modified/optimized kernel, right?

Mine is XT1543, using MM 6.0 (24.44.1). And no, the official auto-upgrade will not replace your kernel, you must flash the stock first or the MM Stock directly.

I do not use custom rom/kernel, I do use stock rom/kernel only (I did used custom kernel in the past, but my phone got slower)
Flash the stock rom to remove any customizations and get your device clean again.

I understood that you refer to the v1.0a , the .zip file in that link in "stock rom & kernel"..... Do you have the download link to the rom you are using?? Thanks
Hey guys, I recently had to downgrade my Xperia to kitkat since it softbricked, and now I'm wondering if I should go back to the marshmallow rom as I previously were, or go to Lollipop.
What do you guys think is the best rom in terms of stability, battery life, camera, etcetera?
Marshmallow IMHO.
Lollipop, battery life, if the phone is not in constant use - because of the old STAMINA mode.
The only real downgrade in mm is the caching and ram management. Everything else is in favor of marsmalmall.

This and battery life is bad too. I will probably go back to LP. Caché managment is really bad.
Battery, multitasking and almost everything but has a very annoying bootloop/"can't-be-turned-on" bug that makes this phone unusable : LP 5.0
Stability, memory management, but has a bad battery, auto brightness bug, and lockscreen lag bug: 5.1
Almost perfect Software (and camera shutter animation which I liked lol) but with outdated version and less great UI : 4.4
Could be perfect software, with horrible RAM management and less greater battery : 6.0 (if only the multitasking is as good as before, this will be my best, stable software on any phone I've used, despite an "okay"-performed battery life, not as insane as 5.0, but I could live with that).

You can't universally enable SD Card support for every apps like in Kitkat or Lollipop, instead you need to use this Xposed module work around: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.balamurugan.marshmallowsdfix

You seem very confused You know that LP has SD card support and Sony's current official version of MM for our Z3 doesn't so unless you think everyone roots there's Z3 or that it comes rooted then I don't quite see where your coming from I'm not currently rooting my phone cause I was no longer able to hide root from my Telus on the Go live tv app so I chose live tv over having Root with all the exposed modules added.

I am using the concept mm and it has an option to make your SD card internal storage
I want to give my unused nexus 5 for a friend, but it's been almost a year since I visited these forums. I want to give him nougat if possible, but are those ROMs stable? Basically I need a stable ROM with good battery life and that's it. What would you recommend?
I recommend flashing the phone with the latest stock MM so it will receive security updates.
Stock will be the most stable.

Thanks. But he doesn't really need security updates. And when I was using it, I'm sure XtraStock and XtraSmooth were really stable, no reboots and no bad stuff happenning. Also, multi window support would be cool, so what is the most stable Nougat ROM?

Try PureWhite6.0.1 Rom, it is very stable as it is based on stock rom.
I am using it since long time.
It's a Nexus, they're all stable. Some have some bugs, but I cannot consider any of these ROMs unstable, like so many of them were on my Galaxy S back in 2011. Me personally, I use Nitrogen 7.1.1, and not only is it stable, I can't even find any bugs in it.
AOSP 7.1.1 by @Santhosh M is great. Also The Fakenexus 7.1.1 is going yo get update soon i think. it was my favourite rom, but i lacked updates for last month. Right @ganachoco ?

Sure? I thought the N5 won't receive any security updates any more.
The n5 won't get nougat but I thought it would receive security patches for a little while longer.
Edit: Looks like the n5 was supposed to stop getting updates three years from the date of introduction or 18 months from when it stopped being sold. Maybe the security updates have stopped?
They have.
I am also searching for a ROM for my N5. I dont want to flash again and again. Lets say I want to choose between AOSP 7.1.1 by @santhoshm and the LineageOS Rom. What are the differences? For Updates: I think the LinageOS will have an integrated Update Feature. And in the Rom by SanthoshM I will have to flash manually in TWRP each Update? And besides that, one is completely the Stock Rom and CM hat some extra features but looks ans feels nearly the same as stock. ...?
Thank you guys!
