Every phone I've owned ran a custom Rom. Since selling my 1p1 for this a month ago, I've been extremely happy. Just rooted and recovery.
Favorite feature is the ability to delay/time my text message with the stock app. Silly but i work shift work shop it's handy.
I use a Windows phone launcher.....I know....but I like it
Stock keyboard is great too however the swipe feature is hit and miss. No issue with speed either. I know everyone wants lp updates but I'll be holding off.
Good job LG.....especially with the way it feels in the hand.
I'm currently the same way, I havent had the need to rom or root this device, LG has done a great job with the software, no lag, fast, great battery life and your right about the stock lg keyboard the swipe feature with it is terrible
Me too, first thing i usually do is slap a custom rom but love stock features like keyboard launcher knock code i like and DT2W / DT2S PS Glad to see a thread where someone ismt complaining love this device

On my D852 I've tried the only fully working custom rom (CloudyG3 rom), And I tried the only custom kernel that exists too (Rin kernel).
From my experience stock rom + stock kernel gives me the smoothest + longest battery by far on the G3.
Which is weird because custom roms + kernels usually give more performance & battery life, But for my D852 everything that currently exists in the custom community is just worse.
For example:
Ktoonsez kernel on my S4 INCREASED my screen on time by 30-50% over stock.
Rin kernel on my G3 DECREASED my screen on time by more than 30% vs stock.
At the current moment there is NO custom kernel for the D852 that has better battery life than stock.
Same here. Just root and xposed for g3 tweaks. Sadly they didn't do a 4.4.4 as L is a no go because of ART.
Same here, ROM-ed my all previous tabs and phone. But this one is beast by itself. Rooted on 1st week and Xposed , Tweak box has all things i need. Love it.
Just the same here... Rooted it with bumped TWRP, installed xposed, tweaksbox and that's it. No custom rom required. I just love this phone for everything. I didnt, however, liked the stock icons for the apps...so i installed Unicon and flashed an icon pack and voila! Tweaked heavily for lollipop look using tweaksbox though. Doesnt want lollipop cos i cant live without xposed framework.. If ART finally gets xposed support, then i will flash the stock update from LG.. Using even the stock launcher and loving it
Ditto

Same here !!
I like LG's UI but I gotta admit that the Stock Android L UI is much better looking than LG's Lollipop update. I feel they didn't add much "Material Design' to it. I thought of flashing CM12 but then I would lose Knock Code and Warranty.
I wish we had something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...eme-ics-domination-v4-6-4divine12-10-t1334922
Its a full AOSP theme for Samsungs Touchwiz ROM. I think when APKTool starts supporting Lollipop we will get something similar.
Just for curiosity, I have a stock nexus and my lasts phones I usually rooted to actualize with new rom, because always them was behind. Our phone is been actualized stock software until now, and I want to know from who rooted their nexus which benefits can u see of root our nexus 4?
P.s: if moderators not see that is a relevant post , can delete, just let know me first.
Thanx

Benefits are the same. After rooting you can install cutom roms. You get better battery life, USB fast charger, App opps, UI customization etc. But you will not get direct updates from Google.
So I just flashed stock image 5.1.1 and my battery life really took a hit. What custom rom has the best battery life these days? I am definitely not a power user, I just want long battery life.

Almost agree except for "After rooting you can install cutom roms". Rooting has nothing to do with custom roms. In order to flash a custom rom you need a custom recovery and an unlocked bootloader
Back to topic, I root my device to get my freedom. There are noumerous apps (wich I use) that require a rooted device. So, for me no root, no joy.
cheers

You can try SimpleAOSP Rom by snakeater. Install Hellscore Kernel or modified Semaphore kernel by Snakeater. Use conservative governer with touch boost to get better battery life.
Hey everyone, so I am pretty new to the whole android scene and had a couple of questions.
Do you prefer to use stock w/Xposed or a custom rom? And what are your reasons for doing so?
Also, I had a OPO before and had it rooted and had Blisspop installed. One thing that I really liked was the fact that I could install the nightly updates from the Rom settings, and it did not affect my root status at all. Are there any decent ROM's that can do the same thing for the Nexus 6p?
Thanks for the time and sorry if these are dumb questions!

Your custom ROM had root included.; standard feature in every custom ROM. But that doesn't matter anymore, since SuperSU 2.60+ doesn't write to /system.
Stock ROM, franco kernel, Xposed for me. Because I can.
You can install a custom ROM of choice and xposed. Just be careful not to enable any modules or settings that conflict with your custom ROM. If you have any problems you can always flash xposed uninstaller in twrp and try again. This way you can have the best of both worlds. I'm currently running pure nexus with elemental x kernal as well as xposed.
Does pure nexus allow you to install updates through the settings without having to manually flash a new image?
As of now I'm running stock with Xposed. Stock has just been so damn smooth, fast and stable I feel no need for a custom ROM. Plus Xposed takes care of all the little tweaks/mods that make the phone look unique/custom to my liking.
Most of the custom ROMs we have are just the stock ROM with some features added, so what you really need to ask yourself is whether you want features built in to the ROM, or whether you want to lose some of the ART opportunities by using Xposed.

What exactly do you mean by losing some of the ART opportunities by using xposed? Is there a downside to it?

With pure nexus you have to download a new update and flash in twrp. So far I've been able to dirty flash all updates except the 6.01 upgrade. It only takes a couple minutes to do.

When Xposed first came around it would only work on the Dalvik runtime. When Android switched to the ART runtime with Lollipop I remember reading that the Xposed devs had to mess a bit with the ART optimisations to get Xposed to work with it. It probably isn't all that noticeable in the real world. But really, most custom ROMs for Nexus phones are based on the stock ROM anyway, they're both derived from the same aosp builds. So the argument that stock is smoother is pure placebo. You can choose to have features built into the ROM, or choose to add features yourself via Xposed, the native option seems like a better choice to me.
I'm also on stock + xposed. I thought this would be the most stable, but I seem to get apps crashing at least 10 times per day, ie "App X stopped working. Close or Wait?".
Does anyone else have a similar problem, or would this be addressed if I installed a custom rom?

I'd certainly try a custom ROM, you won't know until you try unfortunately.
This is the very first time in Nexus history that more people are running stock roms rather than custom roms. So let's settle it, shall we ?
custom because im lazy
stock
PureNexus user checking in. I've always enjoyed flashing ROMs and there seems to be a lot of thought put into this one - not to mention overwhelming community support and usage. Android, to me, has always been about third party development and I love to have that perspective represented on my device.
Just got it today so stock...... For now?
Still on stock. Not even rooted yet.
Stock here.
I'm not even rooted either.

Entirely stock, but downgraded back to 6.0 since i was suffering from weird LTE issues. Otherwise stock and unrooted.
Stock and with no root. Its the first phone wich i havent rooted
Stock is way smoother than any other custom ROM, I miss the features like unlink ringtone and notification from custom roms, but the smoothness of stock is unparalleled.
Stock..unrooted

Rooted all the way baby. Stock is nice but I can't live without xposed framework and custome governor profiles
If you guys ever root try this set up and never look back.
Custom Room (xTraFactory is what I am running)
ElementalX Custom Kernel (with DarkSpice profile)
Xposed Framework ( look at pictures bellow)
Cataclysm Mod
AdAway
Naptime App ( on aggressive mode)
Crazy Battery and insanely smooth. Use my phone without worrying about anything
Stock rooted with a custom kernel (franco at the moment) and xposed is perfect.
I used to check out different ROMs on all my previous devices but 6P with all that stated above is perfect.
For those that say stock is smoother than a custom rom ...must be a placebo lol

Could always stay stock, root and take advantage of Xposed?
That's I am using now, stock plus Xposed, but that slows down the phone a bit, and I get a force closed every now and then.
Stock, rooted, running xposed

Stock, no root - for the 1st time ever
Ubermallow or bust... There's literally no comparison.
Darkspice?

hey im using elementalX kernel but would you tell me how to get this darkspice profile working?
Thx
I am liking stock OOS and not a big fan of custom ROMs but reading the posts in some of custom kernel threads, I start to wonder if rooting is worth it just for the sake of flashing a custom kernel.
Performance is already great on stock so the question becomes whether battery life is that much better on a custom kernel compared to stock?
Depends on the Kernel. If you choose Omega, then Yes. Battery life is definitely better. Also if you root you can also use Root Apps to change Themes, get a System-Wide AMOLED Black Dark Mode and change the Fingerprint Animation. Custom Kernels are an added benefit.
