since it's again more than a month from previous post, finally I decided to give a try to share some new thoughts among my readers.
Despite of Nexus 5 being Vanilla Goddess, I decided to root my Hammerhead and install both custom recovery and custom ROM. Decided to go with super lazy method via using toolkit to perform needed procedures. Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit gave more than enough to satisfy my current needs, so to speak. Toolkit also allows to unlock bootloader, nonetheless did that a while ago manually through CMD Prompt.
In nutshell entire process went following: NAND backup, full wipe and then custom recovery. After phone booted successfully to TWRP, it was time to install custom ROM. My first ROM to my Hammerhead was Cataclysm since wanted to try first stock based custom ROM instead of AOSP/AOKP. After testing Cataclysm more or less a week, decided to try out custom kernel as well. Currently using ElementalX kernel providing smooth performance and battery durability combination. The perfect companion for ElementalX kernel is EX Kernel Manager by giving total control over device. Totally worth of 3,5 EUR if you want to tweak kernel's settings manually instead of using kernel's stock adjustments.
