After the huge success of OneDroid for HTC One, I present to you: OneDroid for Nexus 5!


zM7SEn1.jpg


What is OneDroid:

OneDroid is a custom ROM for Nexus 5, based on CyanogenMod. It's always up to date with latest commits directly from CM repos, optimized for best battery life and performance and offers a lot more, like pre-installed Google apps, screen recording, lots of tweaks, etc.

What is the aim of this ROM:

I made this ROM for the following reasons:

1. To provide updates as soon as code gets committed, so that you're always up to date
2. Remove features which aren't necessary, so that you get a ROM which doesn't have a lot of crap in it
3. Fix bugs and optimize the code, so that you get the most stable ROM
4. Add my own features, like custom tweaks, OTA updates and more, so that you get the best experience

Small favor:

Please don't ask for ETAs. I am studying in school (final year, ending in March) so I really can't provide exact release date for a particular build every time, at least not before March. I'll be trying my best to push out stuff as fast as I possibly could, however. I hope you guys enjoy using my ROM!



Features:

Based on latest CM commits, 4.4.2 KOT49H
Unsecured boot.img
Deodexed and Zipaligned
Bloatware free
Pre-rooted with latest Superuser v1.0.2.8
Pre-installed latest Google Apps
Pre-installed latest Xposed
Pre-installed latest Busybox
Fully optimized for battery life and speed (this thing flies!)
Custom init.d and build.prop tweaks related to VM, internet, ext4/mounts and more for smoothness and performance
All latest /system applications
Root Browser as default file manager, Greenify for even more battery life
Inbuilt Flash Player
GPU UI rendering
Most stable CPU governor
Custom kernel with OC support, Button Light Notifications (BLN), lots of wake options (like sweep2wake, sweep2sleep, doubletap2wake), etc
and so much more


Quick Video Review (HTC One) (thanks technostein!)

Download

Once a particular BETA is reported to be working fine without any major issues then it will be moved to STABLE. If you want a STABLE experience with no major issues then you can download the STABLE build but if you want to try out and test new stuff then you can download BETA builds.

Warning: BETA builds are not guaranteed to work stable and can crash or cause issues and certain things might not work as intended.

STABLE
NOT AVAILABLE

BETA (beta 5, DEODEXED): http://www.mediafire.com/download/h7cvs72vmro95ju/onedroid-hammerhead_signed_011814_204129.zip
Removed Apps (Apollo, Stock browser, etc): http://www.mediafire.com/download/audjazo8igedhde/removed_apps_onedroid.zip

FAQ:

Q. The ROM has two dialer apps, is it a bug or an error?
A. No. The ROM comes with two dialer apps: One is the stock, AOSP dialer app and one is the Google dialer app. The stock dialer app comes without Google's new Caller ID feature so I have supplied Google dialer along with the stock AOSP dialer app, just in case someone wants to use that feature. There is no way to have that feature in stock dialer app since the code for that feature isn't open source.

Q. The video recorded by screen recorder doesn't play at times, what's wrong?
A. Its BETA.

Q. Whenever I am using 4G/LTE, the signal bars don't show any activity, does that mean LTE/4G doesn't work?
A. No, it's a glitch/bug in CM code. When you have turned on LTE/4G and don't see any network indicators, it does not mean 4G/LTE isn't working.

Q. Can I install a particular build on top of another (like, flash BETA 13 over 12) without wiping anything (dirty flash)?
A. Yes

Q. What is the name of the iconpack used in the picture at the top? Also, the wallpaper link please?
A. The iconpack is called ClickUI. Wallpaper here

Awesome to see another ROM, but isn't it not allowed to include google apps in aosp roms? Just curious because I don't remember that ever changing

There's no clear answer: Some say it's perfectly fine since the ROM is for a certified device, some say it's against Google policies. If Google tells me to remove it, I'll do. Until then, Google Apps will come pre-loaded.

Okay I have re-installed this ROM 3 times already and I don't know if anyone else is having this problem. But I'm getting random reboots even before finishing the setup :( hmm unless it's a MultiRom issue but I hope I can try this one day!

    No. Beta 1. It is running fine with different kernel. I was saying that it did not wipe my internal sdcard.
