Root if you're having trouble with your nexus 5x or 4, read this!

hey so i got my 5x and actually within a couple days i can see what you guys mean by the performance issues, and oddly enough i had similar issues with my n4 (though much worse on the n4)

I made this thread about what helped make my n4 run amazing and i tested it out on the 5x and it works just as good! Basically its flashing Cyanogenmod instead of the stock google rom, though i recommend waiting until CM releases a stable version for the 5x, that being said i am running the latest nightly version on my 5x, and it feels much nicer than the stock rom and i have not experienced any issues so far.

Thanks for the suggestion. Personally, I'm real happy with Vanilla but should that change, I now know what to do
