There's not loads yet. But all good roms. They do make the device smoother and have better battery life. I would recommended it. Some devs have some awesome stuff up there sleeves in progress for this device too

[Q] New to nexus 5

Hi everyone finally i got rid of my gionee elife e3 version of Turkey and laid my hands on a Nexus 5! Yay for me!
But with apologizing I want to ask you guys a couple of questions.
Firstly, I'm on rooted and unblocked LMY48B build with TWRP recovery.
First question: Which ROM to switch from the stock one? Stabile and battery friendly.
Second is; I want to change my kernel to a one with DoubleTap2Wake. Because using the switch button with spigen slim armor case is not easy that much.
If you could guide me i would be one of the happiest Nexus 5 users ever.
Thanks in advance =)

Id recommend cataclysm rom personally. Not sure what kernels have that feature as i never used it because it's a battery drainer. But you can't go wrong with elementalx or code blue kernels

Battery life is alsmost the same on every custom roms.
DT2W is the opposite of battery life with this device. Some built-in kernels have this feature though or read OPs of custom kernels.

Runnin Chroma ROM + Elementalx. Best battery life I'v ever had ( trust me tried many ROMs )

[HELP] To root or not to root

Hello,
I am using Nexus 5 on stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow (MRA58N).
I read that Xposed framework is finally working on 6.0 (as well as GravityBox).
So I decided to give a try, but I realized that I need to root my device first. Then I started reading about custom kernels. Then I started looking through all the great custom ROMs that are availble at XDA....
Which option is the best for now for Nexus 5? Are those custom ROMs really that good compared to stock 6.0?
So I can't make my mind, what should I do?
1. Stay on stock (bo-o-o-o-o-oring)
2. Root and install Xposed
3. Get a custom ROM
What I want - more customization, 100% stability, good performance, good battery.
Can you guys give me some advice?
P.S.: I have a lot of experience with custom ROMs, I installed a lot of that on my HTC Desire and even installed Android on my HTC Touch Cruise (that came with Windows Mobile). On my Nexus 5 I tried MIUI and I loved it, but every time I still comeback to the stock Android.

1 or 2 or a few layers roms like Chroma I guess (I didn't tried). CM based roms aren't stable enough for now.
Xposed and Gravitybox are at early stage so if you need 100% stability, stay on full stock.

Nope but you can feel it by using custom apps like Amplify.
Custom roms and kernels don't really help for battery life. FYI http://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/

Can i update my desire s?

Newbie here! Hi! My question is. Had a desire s sitting in a drawer for ages because the battery wasn't holding a charge. Bought a new battery, but its running really slow even after i did a factory reset. Are there any new updates i could download for it please? Its currently running android 4.0.4 TIA for all and any help!

Look at the Desire S Android Development. There are a lot of good ROM choices. Just need to be S-Off or have an unlocked bootloader plus a Custom Recovery installed like TWRP or CWM. If you do then you can choose between the ROMs available. There are a ton of it. Just need to try which one fits the best for you.
I'm currently using Sagasation V2.0. I just removed the Samsung stuffs in the ROM even the Launcher and installed Nova. I also did some CPU Overclocking. I can say this is the best ROM I've ever tried. Really fast and can stand to be a daily driver. It's Jellybean 4.2.2 by the way.

Thanks! Will give it a go!

What's the best custom rom as to date?

Hello Guys im gone here for a year and not customizing anything about my phone aside from being rooted. And because of being rooted we know I am not able to receive any software update so i got bored with it. so what are your recommendation with least or no bugs? should i go with updated stock or custom rom? my preference is good battery life and easy access. cheers!

Not many custom ROMs being updated now but Lightrom is debloated and very near stock. Forget about good battery life there's lots of things affecting it so there no perfect answer

I've been using the LineageOS 16.0 ROM for some time, it updates regularly. But being LineageOS it's not a ROM for you if you like the Samsung experience and apps.
