Initial impression on the Nexus 5 after 2 years using Galaxy Nexus, damn smooth and lightning fast the phone is..

BTW why my N5 freshly formatted also around 26GB? Sync with google account and load some youtube videos + browsing on Chrome now left 25gb only haih

That's normal for all 32GB

mini review on minuum after 1 day of using:

first off... to me.. i think its not a keyboard for noob to be able to master it by just 5-10 mins of using.. it needs practices to get away from the habit of qwerty keyboard..

pros:
- its really minimalistic.. so u can still view a huge chunk of ur message while u are typing.. compared to normal qwerty (lol the obvious)..
- it looks pretty cool.. probably ppl will not know how have you typed out your word.. and give you some wow factor.. laugh.gif
- you can adjust the size of the keyboard slightly to your comfort..
- it learn new words as you type (like any other keyboard)...
- it has gesture that allow you to backspace, space, enter, voice, i think this is similar to swiftkey.. i didnt use much swiftkey before.. this is what i remembered.. (purchased but not using.. haha)

so the main factor is it looks cooler and save you space to view the long winded msg u are replying to..

cons:
- especially for us (my own assumption) that always use rojak language in our msg... e.g yalo, liao, meh, omg .etc
  you need to let it learn slowly all the regular words that you use then only it allows you to type as fast..
- and to type in your own word.. u need to slowly drag left n right to choose the correct letter..
- i don't see any option to view own dictionary hence I am not able to edit words that I accidentally added..
- adding your own word isn't like swype and android keyboard..
- the import dictionary/contacts menu did not ask you to reconfirm if you would like to import.. but touching it will straight start the import process..

i will continue to use and see if i will stick with it for its coolness or will switch back to kitkat keyboard which i liked coming from swype..

Have you tried swiftkey? perfect for rojak language since can swipe both english and malay words together

"Another burning (as in "well, what is it?!?!" and not "oh, my eyes!") question was whether the back case would be the matte plastic like the white Nexus 5, or the more stylish soft-touch black. It's the former. No soft-touch to be found here."

Checked MTP, still same. Strange how I don't need to configures all this stuff when I plug in the phone to other laptop. It works fine. Haihz. Now trying to install Google USB driver via SDK since Nexus 5 does not listed on device manager.

If you had a previous driver, it will conflict. I'm on win 8.1 and it's working for me.

Had to uninstall the current one (and any other conflicting ones i.e. android usb drivers). get the google usb driver and MANUALLY update from device manager

When I try to install manually via Device Manager, all it said that "Windows was unable to install this driver..."

[attachmentid=3845252]

And it stated under Other Devices > Unknown Device. (Instead of Nexus 5 with exclamation mark)

Update** : Install Google USB driver via SDK, same problem. Still showing unknown device. Help me. sad.gif

Did you disable Driver signature enforcement on win 8.1?

Yup, quite interested with Omni, PA and Slim but CM just releases a Milestone. What's the status for CM nowadays? I was really into custom ROM back when I had a HTC Desire (that's somewhere 2012) and Omni and PA didn't even exist back then. CM and MIUI are the most popular one, and AOKP is still a newbie.

If CM is still as good as it was, I think it's a good starting point for me.
*
I can vouch for CM; It's become easier to get it onto your phone nowadays... just download the installer app on phone/PC and it'll download and handle the flashing for you.
If you're a power user/feeling a little adventurous, you can manually download the file and flash yourself using recovery.

Not much to say lah about CM.. almost stock looking but with added tweaks and little things that make usability very nice.
Features wise, they have Pie Controls as well, built in App Ops, Privacy Guard, WhisperPush, etc etc...

You want more? get Xposed, Gravitybox, etc etc... haha.

EDIT: Oops, most importantly, CM11 is based on KitKat AOSP which right now is on their 3rd month (M3) snapshot build.

Ya, I saw PA and Slim seem to be on weekly and Omni is on nightly. Probably will get the CM Monthly. Now I just need to find the time to sit down and do it.

CM has nightlies too if you're into that sort of thing. I prefer stability over bleeding edge features though so i opt for the monthly M snapshots instead until they release a stable version tongue.gif

Yep. Works off the Google Dialer (which is currently only bundled with Nexus 5 stock). AFAIK Custom ROMs don't include it (only the normal Dialer). Of course, you can always sideload the APK to get it wink.gif
