The Google LG Nexus 5, and why you should it should be your next smartphone

If you're like me, you are sitting on an upgrade, and not really sure what to do as far as picking a phone goes. I'm here too tell you, buy an iPhone 5C. Just kidding. Don't waste your money on Apple garbage that's 3 years behind every android device on the planet. I suggest to everyone, to wait for the Nexus 5 to come out in the next few months, and let me give you a few reasons why.

1. PRICE (pretty obvious)

The beautiful thing about buying Nexus devices, is you are getting top of the line hardware and specs, for almost half the cost as anyone else. The Galaxy S4 is around 700 dollars off contract, which is absolutely insane. The Nexus 5 will cost (this is an educated guess) around 300-350 dollars, which is half the price of anything else, with the same (in my opinion better) user experience.

2. UPDATES (real catch)

Buying a Nexus phone has one simple bonus. You will always (except for you Gnex verizon people) get the latest version of android, before everyone else. Who doesn't like new software as fast as possible?

3. Everything else

The Nexus 5 is going to be a 5inch 1080p screen with a snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of ram and a 8mp shooter. Now for those of you who have no idea what I just said, I can break it down for you. Let's imagine that the phone you have in your hand right now (which im guessing is close to 1-2 years old) is the car you had when you were 16. Probably an old beater that had 200,000 miles on it that you didn't care about. The Nexus 5, is an Audi A8 with all the little extras like leather seats and air condition and the fancy GPS that you brag about to all your friends, but never really use it, because you would have your Nexus 5 navigating you around with Google Maps ;)

when it doubt, wait it out, and buy Nexus 5

ROM REVIEW - AOKP MR BUILD 5

I have decided to dedicate part of my time testing and evaluating ROMS. I am running a gNex (toro) but i'm sure that most of these rom i review should work on most phones..... DRUM ROLL PLEASE....

AOKP JBMR Build 5

I've always been a fan of AOKP for several reasons. The main point being, the customization of the phone. There is very little in this ROM that you cant change. The NAV bars... the colors... the icons themselves. I've been rocking this room for about 3 weeks now, and i must say i am enjoying it. The battery life is better than stock, but battery life varies to how much over/under clock to RAM management/widgets/display. Another reason I enjoy there roms so much is that the dev is always updating and fixing issuses in the rom. I definitely suggest checking this one out, if i had to explain every customization feature on the phone, id be writing a small novel. I personally change roms on my phone anywhere from 2-4 times a week.
