Finally arrived.. on the original estimated arrival date 
I see that you can't even get into the OS without connecting to a network and installing an update  |

just ordered a black nexus 5. my galaxy s3 turned out to be a lemon. it wont connect to any mobile network for some reason. i googled around and its a common issue with samsung phones. people send their phones into samsung for warranty repair and they'll get the phone back and about a week later it does the same thing again. i wiped all data and did a fresh software install using odin and still no luck. i'm really disappointed with samsung. hopefully the nexus 5 can restore my faith in android phones.

I realize that to get a true feel for the phone, I should run it in stock mode for a while.. oh well
That being said, I installed Purity right away since it was so great for the N4. It's really early though, and there are definitely some performance issues. I have a cool looking live wallpaper that runs at 60 fps, but not on this phone with this rom.
What's the best kernel to use? Franco was good on the Galaxy Nexus for a while but after a certain point he never seemed to get it running well. Semaphore was my fave for the N4.
Threw on Franco this time but maybe it's what's causing the performance issue... Suggestions?

I'm using cataclysm with faux kernel. Looks stock for the most part. Seems good for me. Although I don't use LWP.

Used 100% stock for 2 days. Battery life was good. Noticeably better than n4 but I couldn't stop my flashing itch.
Flashed Franco nightlies next and idle wifi was improved and colors were less yellow but a bit too blue. Performance was similar to stock, but multitasking was slightly more laggy.
Switched from dalvik to ART after and there was a pretty big performance boost in terms of responsiveness (especially when multitasking and just moving around the OS in general). That 1/2 second lag when you press the multitask/recents button is gone and everything is just snappy and smooth.
Flashed Cataclysm last night and stayed on Franco nightlies + ART. Battery life and overall fluidity in OS is about the same as stock + franco + ART. Just more options in ROM. Good combo for daily and stock-like.

Tried ART mode, and installed the custom libart.so to get whatsapp working. Unfortunately other programs were still broken (Final Fantasy V, Titanium Backup and who knows how many others, I switched back already)

Airplane mode idle battery drain was 0.3% per hour last night, and that includes about 30 minutes of audio playback  | |

Not sure what has changed, I've been streaming music through play music since they announced it. All I did was use tor, set it up so i was going through new york, logged into play music on my computer through my google account. Done. I get everything except access, and I stream my music through my phone every day.
