I am looking for some advise on the best combo for the G2X. If I could get some advise or input on the best ROM and Kernel to flash I would really appreciate it. I am looking for something to use for my daily driver. I appreciate your help.

For a daily driver I would suggest EB Froyo. Awesome ROM.
I would suggest to not flash any kernels, stock is the best for now.
The kernels we got are in beta phase and I have experienced freezes and lock ups using them.
Hope that helps

Thanks, I take it you are talking about the AOSP rom?? By the way, What does that stand for anyway?

It stands for "Android Open Source Project"
So basically his ROM is kind of like the base ROM where everyone could start making, and cooking their ROMs.
I flashed his ROM but I like the LG keyboard plus I like the stock camera too, that's the only reason I don't use it as my daily driver, oh and is a big hassle to have to set up everything again.

Don't forget links for TWRP and philz touch
Op,
Thread has been sticked for now; please note that it needs to be actively maintained, or it will be unsticked.
Thanks for the contribution!
Thanks for the info!
I think you should update the info everyday and collect all other roms, kernels info. :good:

Well I might not update it everyday as I have other things going on, but I will try to do it at least once a week
Added more things from Original Android Development
4.4.2 and 4.4.1 builds are out . Enjoy!
Tried several 4.4.2 out there today but was getting error because update won't work if system is changed.
Finally, yours worked like charm. Updated from 4.4 to 4.4.1 and then to 4.4.2 using CWM recovery.
Thanks bunch!!

I must say that I do not have any ROMs in the Index, I just linked other people's work
Does anyone which kernels would be compatible with CM11? Tried the KEXEC and its non-KEXEC alternative, and wifi quit working on both. Really hoping to see Franco for CM11 at some point.
CM kernels

Bruce's CM is non-CAF so more kernels will work with it
From what I know franco is not compatible with cm11. Try at your own risk but just make sure to make a backup before.
I have used both glitch and franco but on an AOSP ROM (SlimKat). Glitch has way more options and it seemed quite stable. Franco comes with the promise of good performance and stability.

Just added a poll with most used/talked about ROMs. Unfortunately I cannot add another one just for kernels as from what I see, one thread equals just one poll. Best way for you to find out more is to read, read and read some more and then, when you really cannot find the answer...just ask around
I just bought a new Nexus 5. I love all the extra features custom ROMs come with, and I bought this phone because it has the best ROMs
How good are the various custom ROMs in terms of stability and battery life at present? Should I switch to a ROM rightaway or is it better to wait for better/more stable builds (the ROMs I'm considering are still in beta)?
Imho the best rom is purity for n5, stable and rock solid. For kernels there are a lot but i personally use faux

Hello,
Please read the stickies before creating a new topic. ROM Comparison threads are not allowed here. You can head over to the development section and try the various AWESOME roms which have been developed and settle on the one which suits you the best!
I would reccomend you to stay stock for at least a few weeks so that you feel the stock experience for a while and then jump on to a custom rom as you will now have something to compare the custom rom with and the awesome feeling when you jump from stock to custom!
Almost all the custom roms which are there in the development section are stable enough to be used as a daily driver...
Just a friendly reminder that this thread is about the stability about custom ROMs, not which ROM's the best/better than...
Discussions about stability are ok, but please don't slide into "best ROM" discussions, or else I have to close this thread
Stock works very well. I would recommend you unlock the bootloader right away, then run stock for awhile. Rooted stock with xposed+ gravity box will get you just about anything a custom Rom will have.

The phone is already unlocked/rooted/running CWM. That's the first thing I did when I unboxed it. And I'm already looking into the xposed modules that would fit my requirements.

When you say "stable enough", does that mean there are still some minor issues I might encounter? Also, how would the battery life be compared to stock?

Yes there are... I'm on AICP and I get SODs once every 2-3 days... Because of the various CM patches and other stuffs, it sometimes breaks Tethering (although it is fixed by the dev the very next day)... Some other patch broke the lockscreen wallpaper on other rom...
I hope you know what I'm trying to say... These are just minor issues which occur when you flash custom roms and are ironed out by the dev within days... but they seem negligible when you get the awesome experience in using a custom rom...
What seems stable to one person may not to the next. And vice versa. We all use our phones different ways for different things. The only real way to know is read through the rom threads, starting from the last page and going backwards for latest comments and/or flash them and find out for yourself.
Thanks to nandroid backups and restores....going back to our good setup is easy if you don't like something.

I would stay stock for now and test out all of the custom kernels and see which has the greatest impact on impoving your current battery life. As said before in other threads what works for one Nexus 5 may not be the same on another one. As for the rom I prefer using stock+xposed. The modules I use are: gravitybox, xHaloFloatingWindow (with Floatifications from the play store) and greenify.
The custom dishes by our chefs are all great! Those who have to ask should stay stock for a while!
Stay stock . There has been no need for custom roms for a while. Kk is great. Kernels are another matter. I'd concentrate on finding a good kernel. All the features you want on a rom can be got with Xposed framework and modules, ie gravity box
Sent by mobile telephone.
The N5 has been out for a while, alot of awesome dev's has made roms. At this point, a custom rom is a must for the N5!
I would recommend PA for a stock experience or PAC for a all in one rom.
Thank you for the suggestions everyone.
I've had this phone for just a couple of days, so I won't rush into a custom ROM. Gravitybox and other xposed modules have most of the features and customisations I wanted, so I'll stick to stock for a while, and explore stock KK thoroughly. I might try out a few custom kernels though.
Hi,
My N5 is running on Android Lollipop 5.1.0 (LMY47I), (Rooted)
I know choosing a custom rom differs from one person to another, but I would like to know which custom rom you recommend to me (Based on your exp). and Which CustomROM I can consider Switching to. More likely I'm looking for a CustomROM with Stock ROM Experience + Addition features (Circular battery, Performance, Better Battery life, etc..)
Hope your replies might also help other who has thoughts to switch to CustomROM !
Thanks in advance !

Well, it may not be helpful or expected, but it's honest. You're best bet is to scroll through the development section and choose one at random. You say you're looking for stock with extras, but ever rom out can fit that criteria....
If you're looking for a rom based off the stock google factory image, then I'd suggest Cataclysm Rom from the Original Dev section. It might be just what you're looking for because the Dev takes the stock google image and adds his own twist to it.
3 people=3 suggestions
Billion people=billion suggestions
Based on your expectation I would say Cataclysm+elementalx is good choice. But the best solution is download>flash>experience
Thanks for sharing valuable suggestions, now I can save some time by short listing custom rom's based on ya ppl suggestions
You have to try and choice a ROM.

Just scroll through the development sections. No need for someone to search for you and type out a list. Can't help those who can't help themselves.

Cataclysm hands down......
Euphoria and Chorma is the one I always use in all the time. Euphoria will more features compare to Chorma but both also awesome ROM I used before and also with CodeBlue kernel performance smooth and battery soso.
Hi all,
I am new to the world of flash experiments. So, this is my my ambitious goal. I am trying to get maximum battery life and experience out of my old Nexus 5. So, I flashed Paranoid Android 7.3.
Now, is it possible to change the kernel to ElementalX? Could not find a lot of literature on this combo, especially for Nexus 5. If ElementalX doesn't work with PA 7.3, what other kernel would you recommend ?
I was able to install EX with stock ROM. But when I tried doing the same with PA, the phone wouldn't go past the Google logo.
What am I missing here ?
Your expert replies are appreciated, as it would enable me and a lot of Nexus 5 fans out there to bring their favorite phone back to active use again.
Thanks in advance !

But one thing I want to add here is that when you dirty flash kernel over ROM, you don't wipe system. You only wipe cache and dalvik. Thats it
