lol @ buggy stock roms.

the best battery performance i got so far on the N5 is with stock rom and kernel (4.4.4)

franco kernel when on 4.4.2 (kinda hard to tell though)

i left Xposed a while now.....it bothered me for more than a week waiting till they are compatible with ART

N5 hardly have any tweaks at the moment....gonna put android L on saturday and leave it for a week....

thing is, although stock roms don't have that much bugs, the bugs that are there can be quite annoying. for example, my phone's stock rom has poor network performance, as the network-based location doesn't work, and on 2g/3g mode it doesn't auto connect to a low strength 2g network. CM11 has neither of those bugs

[S_2NR]

Umm..network is controlled by the modem driver software installed, not the ROM. Cm11 probably came with a different modem to what stock had, hence your result. Different modem softwares work differently in different regions and with different carriers.

Me eh know what you talking about because all the different modems I flash all work the same way... whether is from India, Grenada, Canada or Arabia

[M_2NR]

stev. lemme know how stable L is. But i rel missing my settings in gravity box though. The custom quick settings, quiet hours and the persistent notification damper settings.

Zzzzzzzz in here

So much noob-ledge

[devon4786]

Been using L since the first day when I did a video review of it...its extremely stable..only bugs I find was Dropbox kept crashing while Facebook comments had a transparent background. The Facebook problem was fixed with an update already and the Dropbox problem was a quick fix.

I find the 4.4.4 drains the battery in my tab buy not my phone.

[Trini Hookah]

What do the bug gurus have to say about this?

[X_Factor]

anyone using an S4 mini and the phone constantly restarts for itself while using it?

[Trini Hookah]

Sounds like bad battery.

The ebola thread keeps crashing my Tapatalk. Happening with anyone else?

same modem file my friend... this particular ROM doesn't flash a new baseband as it relies on the baseband that is already there

Yep, have to exit and restart the app.

CM now isn't what it used to be long time. It's buggy as hell compared to stock. I using stock and gravity box

Thats true. on top of that, since kitkat, CM has actually gotten a little slower than stock
You notice any speed/performance difference between Dalvik + Xposed, vs ART?

Right now Im using a workaround to keep the phone on ART -
LMT Launcher for pie
Edited build.prop to remove soft keys
Nova Launcher to hide status bar.

Agreed. CM11 kinda crappy IMO. the most force closes I ever get with a ROM is CM11 on the N5.

clear your facebook app data...uninstall it even and install it again. see if that works. the new update working fine to me.

Hey guys I have high data usage from my android os on mobile data, even though I restricted background data for my apps, and unchecked backup. The android os downloaded 15 mb in 10 minutes in the background! Can anyone suggest a solution, moto g running newest kit kat

Which version 4.4.4 because the ROM itself buggy pal do ur research
It draining battery hard best u revert to 4.4.3

I am running 4.4.3 right now

Run down the battery till the device can't come on then charge until full while off...should fix it!

Slight difference with smoothness of the UI. Not enough to warrant giving up xposed.
