New nexus 5 rom

[$droyd$]

I develop ROMs for a couple devices called TwistedKat .. I'm looking to expand to your device. I built one and need someone to flash it and let me know if it boots or not asap ... If it boots I promise you'll like it .. Please only respond if you can test it now I don't need someone to answer and test it tonight or tomorrow..

I can do it right now. I was about to wipe my phone anyways! Start fresh. I'd love to test it and can tell you if it boots or not in under 3 minutes.

Well I didn't flash gapps just for testing purposes. The ROM does indeed boot. You were also correct. I am impressed. Very nice ROM. I have not had a single FC off the bat and am playing through settings now. Looks like you did a great job as of right now though. Looking forward to the N5 thread. Thank you.

Haha, sweet deal. I haven't found any bugs yet. Working my way down the settings menu. Going to install again with some gapps this time so I can test the reverse lookup, etc. I'm not sure about needing to flash root or not yet, as I couldn't install a root app due to lack of play store. I'll report back in a few minutes. Downloading the mini modular package from PA. ~85MB. Shouldn't be too long.

I use slim minimal gapps and recommend them for the darkness switch compatibility ..

True, I just went with the first small package that came to mind. Okay so root does need to be flashed after the ROM and gapps.

So far I found 2 things.

1. Quick Setting tiles > style > transparency goes from a flat gray (normal) at 0%. Once you get it to 50% it will be come slightly transparent. 51-100% transparency will just make it turn flat black with no transparency. Not sure if it's meant to be like that but I can see through them on other ROMs. Not a big deal though.


2. I'll try again with slim gapps, but I can't use nearby places lookup. Doesn't work even after toggling in settings. But that might be a gapps issue so I'll check and see.

This ROM is quick. I like it a lot. So that's the only issues I noticed so far, everything else was working good. Well polished for the first release on this device. Honestly I don't think it even needs an Alpha/Beta tag. No reboots no SoD. Feels like its ready for primetime. all in all it would take more time to list what isn't working rather than what is which is what I did. No force closes, etc. Ready for a daily driver. I'm going to stick with it.

Edit: would you ever consider SuperSU over SuperUser? I know some don't like it because it isn't open source (last I heard) but it doesn't give me problems with some apps like superuser.

I think the transparency issue is due to having a black background.. Switch the background color and try again I think you'll see through it ... Thanks for the input I'll release after my movie is over..

Nope. I had a Droid X2 that I rooted, then a Samsung Stratosphere (for like 2 weeks only) then I got a toro galaxy nexus on Verizon. That's why I asked if you had one of those. Your name is familiar too. I know that I know you from somewhere lol I just can't put my finger on it.

Update: I couldn't use nearby places lookup on PA gapps. Also couldn't connect to camera on PA gapps. Was about to send a logcat when I decided to try slim AIO package. Both issues gone.

Only use slim Google apps package on this ROM. Can't find a bug yet
