guys... My Galaxy nexus officially died today working in my factory and dropped from high scaffolding. I really LOVE nexus, so I am thinking of the new nexus 5.

Any guy out there may shine some light on me giving some opinion? nowadays, HTC M8 or Samsung Galaxy S5 got "tablet-like" battery performance, but i really love to be a flash-aholic and play around with lotsa custom rom.

One more issue i am thinking was that i heard Nexus 5 facing problem with dropped data with 4.4.2 and no one has fix that even in custom rom? is that true? if yes then its a big turn down until the 4.4.3 shows up with fixes....

Guide me please guy! give some open minded OPINION HERE

what about the data drop issue... are there any rom out there that temporary fix that out rather than waiting for 4.4.3 google update??

And i tot HTC have those boom sound or so whatever speaker it is... nexus 5 have problem with low volume?

thanks for brainwashing me.... my hand is sided on the nexus 5 now actually : )

My only gripe with Nexus 5 is the weak GPS
Other than that I have not had any data drop issues.

For your viewing pleasure

I tot there is a lot of apps out there can dead lock GPS in a second??? plus there are a few AOSP rom that do hardcode of it for a better gps performance....

i have one question here.... in XDA... our nexus 5 is refer to

"Nexus 5 Original Android Development"

OR

"Nexus 5 Android Development"

i cant see the diff? why seperated?

thanks for clarifying... good to see u here djlah.. i know u from the Gnex... lol... seems like i gonna join the hammerhead soon!

anyway...the n5 is a non-removable battery... what happen if there is bootloop ...like gnex.. i will just plug the batt out... then go into recovery if any **** happen...

called 1gadget to inquiry... screw it... talking attitude like S**t... really... DD is so much better regarding of service

anyone have the red nexus 5? now no stock for black... only white and red.... which is better among the only choice now?

i also side on the black... but the problem is no more stock... left with the white and red... and i need a phone urgent now as my gnex died.... HOW!!!!

Guys, its been quite sometimes i haven post anything here and I remember back to the Gnex day I am quite active in forum. Anyway since Im free today, I just want to share some of my setup of my Nexus 5 and some comment about it.

First of all, I am using 4.4.3 Rastakat + 4.4.3 Trinity Hybrid. And with an updated new radio for 4.4.3. There are many reason behind I am using this combo as previously I am a big fan of PA 4.3/4.4 but why Rastakat now. Let me explain.

First of all, Rastakat ROM is really INSANELY smooth, sure i always tell myself, heck man, N5 is already a fast phone, throw any crap rom in, it will run as smooth also. But guess I am wrong here. Once Rastakat is on your hand for a week or so, try going back to PA, Purity, Slim, Mahdi, or any other rom and it will make you feel "somethings wrong". Next why with Trinity, the answer is Trinity works very very well with Rastakat. Super fast, and the battery is awesome. Franco and ElementalX is good too. But what I can tell, Franco is not as fast as trinity but with franco color, and elementalX got too many feature that i Dont need at all. My battery life is very good during idle, 100% went to sleep at 12am, wake up at 7am, it went down to 98%, and believe me, sometimes when I'm lucky, I get 99%. With about 20 hours on battery, I will get an average of 3hr30min SOT, with fairly above average usage. Trust me this number is legit, and those who claim 5 hours SOT. The only way I can think of achieving that is to on your screen standby at homescreen with minimal brightness doing nothing till it flat out.

Afterall, I WARN YOU AND I DO NOT want to repeat again. N5 is originally FAST! with whatever ROM you put in. But Rastakat+Trinity makes a different. For flasholic out there, try it out and you will know why i say so.

And oh ya, as for the 4.4.3 radio, people around XDA have mixed review. for me, i dont find anything different. Digi user.

Yeah, you should try, Rastakat have officially 4.4.3 but with trinity i think they still dont have it officially. You need to search in trinity thread XDA to find the 4.4.3 trinity hybrid kernel to download.

EDIT: or maybe i should just give u guys the link:) (not sure if this is agaist the forum rules)

Rastakat 4.4.3 ROM: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rastak...vice=hammerhead

Trinity 4.4.3 Hybrid: http://goo.gl/38Uxte

New radio: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Nexus_5/Modems ( GET THE LGD820_KTU84M_RADIO.zip)

not sure about the 821... but i saw 820 with 4.4.3 for nexus 5 and so i assume that is for us.

and as for those link for rastakat and trinity, read back a page or 2. I've give a full link there.

remember to wipe cache and dalvik. XD have fun and let the rasta fly
