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 !

thats awsome :fingers-crossed:
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

I have the same model as yours..... Go to settings -> the very last tab (phone settings) => system updates => refresh......... w8 and a pop up will appear accept and you will be on 4.1.1 after a short 144mb download!
PS: I would recommend you to stay at ICS because 4.1.1 does not posses many features however it will eat ur ram like hell on average u would have 70-100mb free....... and games will lag a lot!

It looks like you're using a custom ROM so the update option isn't showing up. You must be on stock ICS to take the OTA update to JB.

You are on AOKP ROM and not custom ROM.
You can install Stock OS using factory images
OR
Install custom ROMs like CyanogenMod, AOKP or SlimBean (Personal favorite).
You'll find the tutorials in the development thread.

There is no Custom ROM without any bugs. Even stock ROMs will have some bugs.
The reliable custom ROMs are CyanogenMod, AOKP, SlimBean etc etc
You can choose any of them and I'm sure you'll not be disappointed.

If you already have a custom rom on your device you already have a custom recovery on it
First step update it via rom manager from playstore or manually flash the latest one from here
Then go to recovery and
-Wipe Data Factory Reset
-Wipe Cash
-Advance Settings>Wipe dalvik cash
Then Install from recovery rom and gapps
-Reboot and then install Superuser for root
And final only if you need i added a filemanager in attachment that you can flash from recovery because the rom don't has one or you could download one from play store

A kernel is the core of android but for more information just google it
To install just flash it like you flashed the rom and whipe cashe and dalvik
You will notice a better performance and also a better headphone sound thanks to voodoo sound mod(a kernel audio driver)

Flash it in recovery and Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Hi all,
First let me start by telling you what device I am using a Samsung Galaxy S III I535 running Liquid Smooth 2.37 rom.
I have been flashing phones for years and have bricked, unbricked & in most cases had success with dirty flashing and doing clean flashes. I have gotten to the point in my adventures with flashing phones to experiment with kernels, since that's all anyone talks about that gets some legit performance and battery life stats. So my questions are as follows ( and i apologize now if this has been asked a bazillion times before. If that is in fact the case, some direction to the link would be much appreciated, thanks! )
1) what are the steps one would have to take to properly flash a Kernel
2) are there any pitfalls and caveats i should be concerned about ( bricking is the obvious one here )
Thank you again in advance for taking the time to help me out. Just trying to get fully educated before i decide to start messing around further with my phones!

1) Make sure the kernel is compatible with your rom, Do some reading about the kernel -pros & cons.
2) Flash away. In theory, you don't even need to wipe cache or dalvik cache, but just wipe them to make you feel like...it's clean!!
3) The worst thing is you get a bootloop which is an easy fix.
One other thing to note, is AOSP kernels are not compatible with TouchWiz roms, and TW kernels are not compatible with AOSP roms.
Make sure you get the right one, if the developer offers both options.

Just adding onto this, one good way of ensuring #1 is to flash a compatible AOSP 4.3 or 4.4 kernel that is dated at or about the same time as your rom. If the more recent kernel doesn't work, try the release prior to that.

I noticed as soon as I loaded the Kernel there was an issue. It wouldn't connect to any wifi networks. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even turn on wifi, the switch just stayed grayed out after i initially hit it. So currently I am running KT until I can find a solution to my issue. I would love to run BMS given the great response but I need to be able to use wifi lol

Hi folks
I am using ressurection remix v5.4 android 5.1 based custom ROM on my N5 for a couple of days and facing some bugs which are
1. When I change app drawer animation sometimes app icons don't show on the whole page.
2. When screen rotate sometimes notification keys don't appears.
3. Facebook messenger doesn't popup. I can't use when I am using another app.
4. Most of the time when I restart the phone, 'android is optimizing the apps xx of xx' appears.
And some other bugs those I can't remember right now.
So I decided to change the ROM but confused which one to choose.
My need is a stable custom ROM with some beneficial changes and most importantly with no bugs.
I really need your help folks.
Thanks

Cataclysm rom uses stock kernel, you have to download ElemetalX separately. First flash rom and than flash kernel, but you don't have to wipe anyting before kernel flashing.

Thanx dimi3ye....last night I flashed the cm12 nightly caz I downloaded it before and installed the elementalx 2.10 stock/aosp version. Very much satisfied with the kernel as its giving me pretty good standby battery life though I m using the dt2w option and most importantly impressed with the sound gain option.
But still worried about custom ROM because cm12 launcher still has some bugs. So I need to know about cataclysm ROM what are the best picks of the ROM and the stability.

Your curent kernel will be reflashed with kernel that comes with Cataclysm... Read first page on Cataclysm tread for flashing instructions, because latest version is sometimes just update (~ 30mb), and first you have to flash major, big version (~ 550mb) before that update...

2.8.5.2 is fine... stable release means that every feature works perfect, beta is also rockstable rom, but new added features might have small issues (usually everything works perfect). I always flash latest whether is stable or beta, never had issues.

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 !

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

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.
