By the way, I haven't flashed the new radio still and everything is working fine. I suspect I should flash it in case it becomes important later, but my "if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it" conservatism is creeping in. Any thoughts from you knowledgeable folks?

I haven't noticed anything different on new baseband. It's going to come down to personal preference.

I just had a VERY odd thing happen. I decided to give DU another go so I downloaded the latest and banks's updated gapps. In TRWP I did a factory wipe and installed DU plus the gapps. Upon booting I had to set up my phone due to the factory wipe but once I was in Android I realized that I had stock 4.3.3 installed. Please tell me how this is possible when I did a wipe (and obviously worked as all apps were removed and I had to go through the setup routine again) and only installed DU and Banks's full gapps.

And now when I restore my phone via an nandroid I get stuck on the spinning 4 dots. Hopefully I didn't just brick this damn thing. Time to try the toolkit...

I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you saying that DU comes up as 4.3.3 (which doesn't happen here) or that you ended up with something else, not DU, showing 4.3.3. Is this in about phone or somewhere else?

I am not sure what is happening with you either. I had the OTA 4.4.3 update on my N5 and then did a flash to the latest DU that has the 4.4.3 in it. All went well for me at least.
Wish I had a better answer for you :(

My DU install was 100% stock. It showed 4.3.3 with no DU settings. It was as if I flashed the stock image for 4.3.3.

I'll probably try it again tonight to see if I have better luck.

Where did you download this from? Considering I don't think there ever was an Android 4.3.3, and certainly not for the Nexus 5 (which never had any version before 4.4), this is very odd. That's why I asked if you were getting this information from "about phone" or somewhere else.

Then I don't think I understood what exactly you were saying was wrong in the first place? Not the first time I've been mixed up. :rolleyes: ;)

To me, it sounded like after flashing, instead of DU, he got the stock rom. I don't know how that could happen either unless the wrong file was flashed. A stock recovery would do that after a factory reset, but not TWRP. Hopefully, his backup turns out to be good

I also have noticed that when I turn the phone off and then hook it up to the charger the screen stays on with the battery charging (lightening bolt) icon staying instead of it going to the battery filling icons. Anyone else notice this?

You have to turn off wake on charge in settings > display. It's that way in virtually every AOSP ROM.
