ah thanks for the video links.
haha thanks but not really wanna play GoW
I'll check around for other games. Thanks tho.

Lol. Anyway good luck for your sale bro

You mean the screen security > slide right? What rom?

Yes, only the LTE band of D820 (US vers.) not compatible with Malaysia LTE band. Rest will work.

Yeah, a lot user been praising this Diztronic matte case. Think got some member selling in LYN/ post in this N5 thread.

Since you're from iOS, you need to familiar yourself with Android ecosystem
Make sure before attempting anything (root, flash), ALWAYS READ INSTRUCTIONS provided by the OP.
If you planning to root, I suggest you unlock it right after you get it since unlocking will wipe your phone.

So now since you got time (before your phone arrives), go do some reading on what are rooting, flashing, roms, kernels, etc,etc. First page got some links for reading too or head on to Nexus 5 @ forum.xda-developers and do some reading.

Happy learning. And have fun

can unlock bl and not root mahh.. for newbie is good to learn benefits/dangers of rooting.

Btw, anyone can recommend good SP? not glass SP please. Good ol' plastic sp. Dry or wet is no matter.
Read a lot in xda. But skeptical at some cause some say good, some say bad.
Post any experience of any SP you used before. TQ ~

+1 for great guide for newbies

Lol. Is real that the phone is original. Just no local LG Malaysia warranty. Go for directd, satugadget here in lyn

ROMs are optional. You can stick to stock and root. Custom ROM provide more features than stock. But if you want to stick to stock but want features, you can install xposed (study this too)
Custom kernels may provide better battery+performance than stock kernel.

Now go study more: EFS backup (This is important), nandroid backup, [how-to] adb

Wow.
So much features that I won't use

But it depends on your preferences. If you like the features that the ROM offers, go ahead.
You have the option in experimenting with different ROMs and choose the one that suits you best

Edit: Sorry totally missed your question. Can suggest me a good pair of rom and kernel? Preferred battery saving.
It depends on your usage. I'm having great battery life with Cataclysm + faux. Go on and experiment.

I did not subscribe the LTE plan. (I'm on E28 so no LTE..boo UMobile)
But after my 1GB quota I still get roughly ~4mbps, according to speedtest app. Still can spotify also

It's faster than Malaysia

No such thing as "best" in android development.
Recommendation is a more suitable request. I've been on Cataclysm since day 1 on my N5, so far I'm satisfied with it.
I have Slimkat 3.4 on my S2 so it's good as well.
I have Carbon on my N7 so that is also a plus.

Go test/experiment with your phone and see it for yourself.

1. Nope. Just use custom recovery to flash and do backups. I don't see the necessity in using rom manager when the recovery can do it.

2. Restore/Flashing stock rom will restore stock kernel.

elementalx @ flar afh

Yeap, can just flash it over

Not necessarily unless he frequently changes kernel

If you flash stock image, it will revert back to stock recovery.

I doubt they will bring in N5 already since got rumors on N6 releasing this year
