    • RE: Best version so far?

      @alvarogr91 From what I understand this model has had battery issues even with stock android on it. I had the BQ aquaris (Ubuntu edition) and that phone's battery did last around 24 hours even with light use. However it's pretty much impossible to get one of those these days. I was looking for a phone that was simple enough to hack, so I could install Ubuntu on it, and it looked like the Nexus5 was a Favorite of developers, so I opted to get that model even though the specs are not really all that great. I go it, and found out I can't even install an sd card in it.

      I hope they make more of the Meizu Pro5(Ubuntu edition) phones. That's a phone with some serious specs, but when I tried to buy it, it seemed like Chinese people don't like to take American money. The phone was/is sold out.

      I got a little side tracked, the point being that I don't think we'll see a phone with a Custom ROM in it that has at least 24 hours of battery life, until we can put it on better phones, but most of the ones with specs like that are seriously locked down, and not that easy to hack.

    • RE: Best version so far?

      @alvarogr91 I am using the latest stable image(r13). The battery on a Nexus5 lasted me 7hours (on standby). I don't have a SIM card in it yet, so I'm only using WiFi and the browser has never opened. All though I could browser internet stuff such as the Amazon app and search for stuff, but anything that relies on the browser will be pretty much DOA.

    • RE: Nexus 5 /stable browser

      The browser on stable in a Nexus5 (hammerhead). Is still not working, but I think I saw a commit on it in github, and if I'm right that should be fixed on the next update. I'm just not sure when that is scheduled to be.

    • When is the next scheduled update to the Nexus5 (stable) image?

      I flashed my device, and it boots into ubuntu now. I haven't tried making calls, or sending texts, as I don't have a cellphone plan right now, but I'm planning to get one on Friday (payday). I will be using this phone as my daily driver (at least that's the plan) but there are things that don't work on it. Such as the browser, it opens and quickly closes, I installed Plex, and it does the same thing. The dialer doesn't seem to crash, so I think I'm okay. For now all I really need is to be able to make and receive calls/texts. MMS and web browsing I hope can come at a later date, I'll wait for the next update to see if it starts functioning, but I'm not sure about how often you guys do updates.
