[Q] Cyanogenmod for Nexus 5 Lollipop 5.1?

I have a LG Nexus 5 with Lollipop 5.1, unlocked and unrooted. Is there an easy way to install CyanogenMod to it? I'm new to tinkering with my phone so don't have much knowledge or experience with this.

Good Luck!

Yes get the cm download app for phones. It finds the latest version and downloads it if you want. I normally have a stock rom and cm so I can switch

Go to CyanogenMod download center to download a nightly:
• hammerhead: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hammerhead
OR
• hammerheadcaf: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hammerheadcaf
Check daily until we see a build named cm-12.1xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Completed] How do I get multi-window like in the Note 4 on to my Nexus 6 running CyanogenMod?

Hello,
I have a rooted Nexus 6 running Android 5.1.1 with CyanogenMod 12.1 on a nightlies build. I really want to get multi-window like in the Note 4, but so far I've seen that I need Xposed framework to do so. Is there another way to do this, or is there a way to install Xposed with CyanogenMod?
Best,
HB

Qualcomm bootloader update required or not

Dear Developers and Android users,
I have Xolo A500(msm 8225)512mb, with 4.0.4(same SOC/chipset Nokia x/XL, Lg L 7II)
wish to update Android,
Question: do I need to update bootloader or I can just provide mobile with different kernel-ramdisk base address which are available for same chipset but other brands. E.g.Like KitKat for Nokia x
Thanks in advance.

[Resolved] Does anyone have Android 4.2.2 zip file?

[SOLVED] Does anyone have the zip file for Android 4.2.2? I messed up my Acer A1 830 by updating it and fastboot method isn't going so well... (I have drivers installed, ADB drivers and offical ones and it still says "waiting for device" after I input a command, whilst the tablet is on the droidboot screen.)

I did a quick search and it looks like the following links should have it.
https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/5243?b=1
It looks as though they may have it under documents titled "Kernel Source Code (Android 4.2 Jelly Bean) - 20150520" but, i can't be sure though, the download is 132.4 MB.

It was not a problem at all.
Certain questions intrigue me to do a little research so I, personally, would know for future reference.
When it comes to device Manufacturers, there shouldn't be any reason as to why locating Stock Firmware for their devices should be such a chore.
I feel that they should make searching for them a bit easier for those individuals who help keep them in business.
Anyway... I wish you the best of luck!

Yeah, try to ask for permission in their Threads first.
I know that Devs will often ignore unsolicited PMs from people whom they don't know.
