And now attach an actual Nexus 5 thumbnail :p

But whats wrong with GCC 4.8?

edit: yay first.
edit2: Shouldn't this be in Android Development instead of Original? Because this is mostly stock with extras from other roms.

We use so much work done from us, including Bricked kernel, and so much optimizations with a few things from other ROMs. If you base you OD ideas on the things you can see I think you do not know as much about this as you think :)

For some reason I thought there was already a Nexus 5 Illusion Rom in the XDA Development Threads.... I must be mistaken. I loved Illusion Rom on my old Galaxy S3. I think I will give this baby a try. Thanks dev.

There is an Illusion rom, was in original development forever, & then the mods did their brain storming & anyway the other Illusion thread is in android development, way towards the bottom, search, you'll find it. Rom is running good, I did have about 3 or 4 random reboots.

Illusion has been around forever. Mike Ramsay created it years ago. He left development for life (house kids job etc.) Many people have "taken over the project" but the illusion we see today is 0% of what it used to be.

I'm aware of this, not the details you've provided, but yeah, I've been using Illusion since I had the Note 2, even have a build a friend developer made for HTC evo 4G, I flashed every release of Illusion from other thread, I was just answering the guy who posted that he thought there was another thread.

Gotcha...was just shedding some insight on who created it in the first place. He was a great dude. I miss his development a lot.

Now we have another to carry on the illusion!!****

So yes MikeRamsey is missed but now Herma in da house! Lets support this dev. If Illusion fails to return its not the devs skill s that hindered it but the community that cheers him on.

Just reflashed, full clean wipe, while setting up, restoring apps using TB had several reboots. Had that issue before on a couple roms using TB, so I thought when I was done it would stop. Nope, just randomly using phone, now & then triggers a reboot.
