The rom is very smooth
All is workingbut sometime the screen becomes flickering and when I play youtube in full screen, the screen becomes die, and I have to restart the phone to get the screen normal again

I love the dark mode
If I can request, please don't remove talkback and Google text to speech as pre-installed app because Ivneed them to operate my phone

Thanks a lot

Hate to ask, but how do I "Increase system partition from 1GB to 1.5GB (If already increased then leave this)"? In fact how do I check that it is set to 1 or 1.5 gb?
Thank you.

Thanks for your response.
I have Solid Explorer and it shows in the root folder that I have 1009.29mb of storage room. I'm guessing that this is what I needed to know. How to I extend this to 1.5gb?

there's a guide at the first page

Sorry, my bad. Was flipping between topics for 2 different devices and missed the post.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Its been a long while since I updated this my Nexus 5. I understand the instructions, but just want to be clear:
Resizing will not wipe twrp off the phone? If yes how do I boot into the phone without it.
After resizing the partition, drag the rom to the root of the phone, boot into recovery and install the rom from the root. I can't remember, but to make sure, the rom won't get wiped from the root of the phone when I do the clean flash?
Been working with a phone and tablet with sd card slots and that's where I have been installing from.
Thanks for your patience.
