Anyone on Kitkat? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am thinking about going to kitkat from marshmallow, mainly because I got tired of whiteness of material design and want better battery life.
Is there anybody who compared kitkat to marshmallow about battery life? Which one got better battery?
Or is it berret to just flash marshmallow/nougat and install some pitch black theme on it?
Also do I need to flash older version of recovery if going to flash kitkat or do I just can install newest one?

I suggest staying on MM/N for latest security patches. I use (cataclyms) KK in multirom as secondary. It works flawlessly. Very quick and responsive. You can use any recovery to flash KK
Personnaly i would choose the Beltz nougat rom by @setiawanjimmy (It's availble on Devs-base.com) and Beltz substratum theme (or any other dark theme there are plenty good ones)
Beltz is smooth , has great battery life and has some nice customizations.
Hope i helped. Happy flashing

Also Euclidean OS is very nice , has a system wide dark theme switch and substratum OMS for theming

Did you test if there is a difference in battery life kitkat vs marshmallow?

I tried to stay on kitkat but I kinda miss the material design atm on Android L preview becaause i can and the bad thing is i can use apps there from playstore cus the all crash

Battery bug
Every thing is ok but I trace one bug
Automatically battery low and device off
My device Lenovo A6000
download links broken .....
This rom is very smooth
Please make nexus rom based on marshmallow!
Downloading...
under trying.
Please. Why it's necessary to be on stock Lollipop, when prior the flashing we have to perform also a system wipe?
bugs?? gapps link??
Hi
I ve flashed this ROM and is very neat fast and everything working fine.
Too early to say if its a bug, but did have this 2 problems:
1. Could not download gapps from your link so downloaded directly from gapps site for arm, 5.1, 32 bit, full stock version, but unable to flash the same, it says I do not have enough memory, but I have more than 10 Gb free! Anyways flashed nano version and all went fine!
2. Once I noticed the phone went off, while disconnecting from charger, I switched off and reset the device, and so far no issues. Will update asap.
Otherwise very smooth no issues and the camera included, I feel is the best of all ROM's. Thanks, really liked it.
And a very noob question, (I am very new to this custom ROM's concept), When switching on for the first time, saw a screen saying looking for available updates, so my query is whether ROM will also revieve updates (ota)??
Thanks in advance for your effort, time and replies.

Hi friend, I've just installed the Rom and I got the 2nd bug, and now I'm reinstalling with my previous Gapp.
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------
when I disconnect charger, phone turns off... only the 1st time
but now it's solved with mine Gapps.
camera is excellent really, but just its max resolution is 5 MP, I hope you find a solution for this to obtain also 8MP.

Battery bug
This ROM is working grate only problem is battery automatically increases battery percentage and automatically decreases pls fix this bug
ROM is smooth but ....
battery goes down randomly and phone shutdowns
can't use the ROM more than 15 mins
Battery issue
Please fixx Battery Issue wit my lenovo A6000 Plus its geting shut down when even my phones battery is on 89%........

Modding request!!!! Gtn7000

plz make a system ui of gtn7000 jellybean stock like marshmallow 6.0 so we can experience a latest marshmallow system ui without install any other custom rom..
bcoz battery life is very good of stock rom against any other custom rom..and we can enjoy beautiful ui of marshmallow in stockrom.:victory::laugh:
Is anyone here?? To make this happen...for us:angel:
Honestly stock roms are really out of date, and believe me, it eats a lot of battery and mostly RAM.
I suggest you to upgrade to CM 12 (Android 5.1) as it is the best version you can have.

Hey Guys How are you doing , hope you're having a wonderful day/night
I am a newbie , And I need helping finding the most stable ROM Android 7.1.1 Nougat , I've heard of cyanogenmod , aosp , pure nexus ... , There are a lot of them and I got really confused and i just want a good STABLE ROM

Flash latest Fakenexus rom. It gives you 100% pixel look and functionality. Get latest build from recent posts and flash HTC camera for 100% working video recording. Performance is top-notch
I use Dirty Unicorns rom daily. It is very fluid, bug-free and has a ton of customization options..
For fakenexus gapps are integrated
after testing several roms i stuck to AospExtended ROM V3.3 with HTC Sense 7 as Homescreen for Daily use .. workin' like new without any problems (so far)

OTG working?
Is OTG working? And how to solve the camera not rendering good color?
Very nice one, runs a lot faster than CM. Almost no bloatware, clean and bright interface. Thanks!
*Apart from the known bugs, the sound seemes a little bit too low, especially while calling.

best rom for s7?

Hey guys! I'm currently using my s7 G930F running on AOSP extended rom and I wanted to switch to a new ROM because this ROM was a bad experience for me. I wanted to ask if I should flash another ROM like the superman ROM or lineage os or just go back to the stock firmware. I love customisation but I don't want to compromise on my devices performance. Looking forward to great advice
