please help ..i am on pure nexus rom 6.0.1.
In that rom they mentioned fully working VoLTE
Nexus 5 does NOT have the hardware to support VoLTE. Pure Nexus is not made only for nexus 5. It is built for other Nexus devices as well which support VoLTE. So the features mentioned are for all the devices in general and not for nexus 5 in particular.

Actually it is specifically for Nexus 5 Hammerhead. Custom roms are made device specific not series specific. Also Nexus 5 is running Snapdragon 800 chipset which supports VoLTE. If it does not work we need to figure out why?

Yes custom ROM is made specifically for that device (common sense). But Pure Nexus is like CyanogenMod which makes ROMs for many devices and not just one devices. So they don't give the ROM features seperately for each device. They just make a feature list including all devices and post it in each Pure Nexus thread even though some features might not be available on certain devices.

Theres one question came in my mind.
I thought is it possible to port ROMs from Nexus 5 to other Snapdragon 800 phones which in my case Xiaomi Mi3?
Because in Mediatek it possible to port ROms from phones having same chipsets..

No one is going to port a ROM for the Nexus 5 to other devices. Maybe someone will build it for another device, but porting it is a waste of time if you have the ROM source to be able to build it anyways.
I think Xiaomi doesnt comply to GPL and doesnt release the source code thats why I asked if it is possible to port ROM from Nexus 5
Yes, it is possible. We have a "premature" Sense 6 port in which some things aren't working and are difficult to solve. But it is possible.
I am planning to get SGS7, NOT Edge version. I kinda hate it actually. HEre is my question. Is bootloader unlocked ? Cause I can't live without my CM13. And if So May be you guys can recommend Snapdragon 820 based Phone that can run homebrew roms. Right now I am on OP2 and I simply can't handle it anymore after 5 minutes in any game phone slowing down to around 10 FPS, unplayable condition.
Thank you in advance.
The bootloader is currently not unlockable on the Snapdragon 820 version. On the Exynos version, root and (I think) TWRP is available, but definitely no CM support.
Bottom line, this isn't the device for you if you want CM13

Thank you very much for your answer. I also looking into upcoming HTC M10 and LG G5, what do you know / think of them ?
Thank you once again !
Check the Cyanogenmod website to see if your (future) device is supported by CM.
Currently the S7 (Edge) are not supported, but that's just a matter of time.
Galaxy S7 has so far the best camera ever Samsung has introduced. Being Water-resistant is an additional advantage for that people like it, awesome battery and Gear VR system as well. who use a costly phone like a crap.
Story:
I broke my nexus 5 camera and replace it with LG G2 13 MP camera instead of using original 8 MP module.
Nexus 5 and G2 have same Chipset "Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800" and similar motherboards (camera port is same).
So I had no problems to fitting everything together.
Problem:
After this my camera app crushes when I try to use main camera. (when I use front facing camera everything works).
Question:
As I understand Android uses isolation layer (HAL) to separate Android Camera API and Camera driver layers.
I need to update Camera Driver and HAL will do the rest. At this point it is using old camera driver and camera app crushes.
How can I get LG G2 camera driver and how install it to my nexus 5 ?
Android version is 6.0.1 marshmallow.
Would be so cool if it works.
Try this: little to no chance of the working.
It surely needs compatible drivers.

They may be available in cm's source.
This needs a dev's attention.
Also, the ISP may not be able to handle the camera modules output.
Nexus 5 has camera.hammerhead.so inside /lib/hw/ so at least you have to replace it with the one from LG G2 (remember to set same file permissions) to have a chance to make it work and import settings from media_profiles.xml to support bigger resolutions but there could be a lot more, and to improve compatibility flash Lollipop 5.0 on your nexus 5 and get files from LG G2 Lollipop 5.0

I'm sorry but this discussion was made long time ago, I have no more a Nexus 5 and I've forgotten almost everything of that device. I guess I can't give you any help
Hello guys, would be possible to port the note 7 features to the note 5 as a flashable zip or we must flash a custom rom to got those things?
Thanks in advanced
Not going to happen on the 920P. No devs care about Sprint's Note 5 and have moved onto the Note 7
If you want Note 7 features, get a Note 7.
I'd rather see CM13 for the Note 5 than lame ass Note 7 features.
It will happen a full port no doubt about that but that will happen in the future a few months probably.

Will there be any Android O custom rom for Nexus 5 because some people said that Android O might not support 32bit device. I actually consider to buy Nexus 5 since it cheaper than 5X. If Android O only support 64bit device I might get Nexus 5X.

I think it's better to save some more and get the Nexus 5X because Nexus 5 it's starting to become a legacy device
Why do people always jump on these developer previews and request them being ported to other devices? We're currently at the very first dev preview, this is not even a beta, and just about nothing is finalized right now.
We're going to see whether the Nexus 5 could be supported by third-party-ROMs when the source code for O drops. Until then, there's not really a point discussing it.
If you're looking for a cheap phone, I would consider getting a newer budget phone, like the Moto G5 /G5 Plus, or one of those cheaper Sony ones. You'll get better battery life, a much better camera and maybe even Android N/O, depending on the OEMs' willingness to update. Or just go with one of the Android One devices, if they're available in your market.
Unless you already own one, I don't see any benefit in getting a four-year-old phone.
If Google is testing Android Or for nexus 6, on got its code might be available. CNA we use it to port it to nexus 5??

We cannot. The hardware specs are completely different.

If they would publish an official build for the n6 and with it sources, but since it is internal testing they most likely wont.
I've heard the update schedule for the Moto Z Play is promising Android O updates later down the line and the device has a 32-bit processor. Of course I believe that there's clever devs on here that could make something special happen

The Snapdragon 625 is not a 64-bit CPU. The phone itself does run a 32-bit ROM, however.
Now can it be built?
