Most stable Marshmallow rom+kernel comb? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I'm currently using SAOTP + Taurus Kernel and without zero changes in the settings I keep getting random reboots. At least 2 every day, sometimes up to 5.
Before that I used CM12.1 and that rom got slow ..so fast. Super annoying.
So now I just want a really stable rom (no reboots at all) with decent battery life (it will never be good for me when I turn 3G on anyways).
What would you recommend?
(Btw I want root because of Adaway and maybe even Xposed)
Thanks in advance!

chorma + hellscore kernel

Frank's Marshmallow ROM + TaUrUs Kernel seems to be stable for me.

For me OctOS+Hellscore are very stable and battery life is about 2:30h SOT (3G always on and using chrome for about an hour and a half).

I'm using Chroma with its stock kernel, been really stable for me.

SAOSP and Taurus

Pure Nexus ROM + Stock Kernel

Chroma and TaUrUs

Chroma + Stock. My goal was just to extend the life of the Nexus 4 with current OS releases and minimum complications. This combo gives me exactly what I need. No surprises, everything works, it is super fast, and fixes a lot of problems with Lollipop. Xposed is not officially supported because it could affect stability, but I see where people are using it.

Pure Nexus ROM + Stock Kernel for me, It is stable.

nscollab/cyanogenmod - the need of a stable kernel

Hello all,
i have been an owner of a nexus s gsm s-lcd since August 2011 and i have been experimenting mostly with cyanogenmod and cyanogenmod based roms such as nscollab.
Using my phone mainly for my jobs, since the beginning of the usage of non official roms, i am always having stability problems ending up not trusting my phone for everyday use.
I have tried cyanogenmod stable, rc, lots of nightly builds and various nscollab versions from 1.0.39.
From my experience so far, except when using matr1x 5.5 cfs i always have some of the following problems, some times some of them and sometimes all of them:
1. reboots
2. reboots with no ability to load the os, with only solution the removal of battery
3. crashes with the result of the pin needed to be given again
4. never waking up after deep sleep
The kernels i have used so far are all the matr1x cfs(sorry, i do not trust con Kolivas and his bfs, being a linux user for 10 years), various netarchy and the stock cyanogenmod .
The only kernel that has been stable for me until now is matr1x 5.5 cfs.
The reason for not going back to the official rom, and be ok with my mobile is mainly the bln and voodoo(although i have bought the paid app and i can use the module with the official rom) modules.
The first thing I though having all these problems is that the main cause of them would be the undervolting that all most of the kernels have. After some tests i realized that with the voltages that proton suggests or even with the stock voltages, the problems do not disappear.
Although, i have found my stable kernel and i always flash matr1x 5.5 cfs in all the roms i use, i would really like to know what is the usual suspect of all these problems. Is there any possibility that some of them are not kernel related and the cause is in the source code of cyanogenmod?
To sum up, i really believe that we should try an effort to create a kernel that is very close to the stock one, and be very careful with the extra modules that we add. Although i do not have the experience of making a kernel package for android, i will try for sure to make a flashable kernel for my needs, and if it's stable i will upload it and share with all of you.
I believe that every mobile has to be bug-free(as possible), and reliable for everyday use and at least i should be reboot-free.
I would really like to read other users experience and opinions.
Regards,
Michael
it was the same for me. nscollab was unusable since it was always freezing in two minutes after boot. changing the kernel did not help. so I decided to change the rom to Nexus MV 10.05. it works very stable (not a single reboot or freeze) and faster than nscollab.

Well, I found that custom kernels can work with stock ROM's. I'm using stock Google 2.3.6 on my 9023 + pete's kernel with Voodoo sound and BLN. Stable as ****, practically no issues, I'm happy with my NS as never before just because of the lack of constant flashing the **** around to "optimize". It just works flawlessly.
Here's the link to the kernel : http://www.peteralfonso.com/2011/08/download-nexus-s-263514-kernel.html
Had the no wake issue with cm7 216 and nscol 1.4.5. On nscol 1.4.6 and no problems yet. If it happens again it would seem to be a cm7 issue. While annoying devs are constantly hunting down and correcting problems, just the way it is and doesn't bother me.

Just use nscollab .46 because that has stock voltages and you should be fine

The hole point for me is not using any other kernel but the stock one.. compile yourself a nexus s kernel (google it for how to) and be happy without any reboot, crash..
baterry? normally 1.5 days @ 1.0ghz..
You could do that as well

.45 with stock voltages caused the "pin asking" issue even with stock voltages(even with 5.5 cfs - maybe a cyanogen problem?), so that's why i am stuck at .42 with 5.5 cfs and did not even try .46.
Try .46 and lemme know

If you see, in the thread of nscollab, there are also problems with the phone dying etc, even with the new stable cyanogenmod + matr1x kernel.
I only do tests in my mobile during the weekend, because i use it all week for my job. So stuck with matr1x 5.5 until i see a really stable matr1x kernel coming after 8.

Thank you very much for posting this link. I did not know that kernel. I just found some time to flash nscollab .50 with this kernel and i only changed interactive governor with ondemand to be even closer to stock kernel.
I hope that it is as stable as it is for you.
After some hours with this new kernel, i am not sure about stability(although it seems stable) but nexus is running smoothier than ever.
I've used ondemand from the beginning I started using this kernel, then I tried interactive (default) just to try it out. Not really a difference, same stability/speed and I could get rid of NoFrillsCPU app setting the default governor at startup. So to wrap up, kernel runs beautiful from the start, no extra fiddling necessary.
I do not believe the issues described in the OP are kernel related. They persist in all custom kernels. I think it is from Dalvik VM crash but I have no proof.

As I read here I am not alone in the problems described, and after lots and lots of tests i am sure that this is a matr1x specific issue.
So, as i do not have permission to write in a development thread yet, I suggest the following:
1. if the developer of nscollab wants to continue with Matr1x kernels, makes a new release with the last well known stable kernel, which is Matr1x 5.5 until Matr1x developer finds out what is the problem with the new kernels.
2. Matr1x is replaced with another kernel, such as Peter Alfonso's kernel(running FINE for 24 hours. In the same period with Matr1x kernels i would have at least 2-3 problems- 5.5 cfs excluded).
EDIT:
I just got the first "dead phone" issue with alfonso kernel. I should be more patient about stability results of this kernel, or this issue is not kernel related.
After many days of testing with nscollab and different kernels, i am sure that the major problem of "dead phone" is not kernel related but a cyanogenmod issue.
The most stable kernel i tried was Peter Alfonso, but after 4 days of use the issue appeared.
As i need a really stable rom, before going back to stock, i am testing Oxygen 2.3.1, which i do not know yet if it's stable(i hope) but until now is the fastest and smoothest experience.
Id say if you want stability, stay on stock, extra features like BLN and Voodoo sound are added via kernel anyway.

Kalimocho found a kernel error and a missing vendor file in the CM kernel. It will be fixed in the next nightly. The hope is that this was the cause of the freezes/reboots/bootloops/dimscreen bootloops that people were seeing.

[Q] Deciding between a few Lollipop ROMs. Suggestions / user experience?

Currently running CM12, but I've been thinking between XenonHD, RastaPop, Euphoria OS, Terminus and LiquidSmooth.
Any experience about these ROMs? Most of these seem pretty same if you look at the features. But does some of these stand out?
Just start flashing and find out what you like the best.
sent with my Nexus 4.
As much as I hate CM I quite like the xenon.
Very stable and doesn't require too much micro management.
Well I had to install better battery stats but my battery problems might be down to a dodgy app.
I haven't tried them all but so far my favorite is my setup now...boostpop 2.7 with Franco sabermod kernel, overclocked to 1.7ghz max 192mhz minimum. Rro layers running giving the black look I liked on slimkat. It's as fast as I've ever felt this phone.
I've tried liquidsmooth v4 and a recent paranoid android and cm12 I think. Those are the only recent LP ROMs I've tried.

Frank Rom and Rastapop both great 5'0'2 Roms with all latest optimizations like RRO etc

What is the fastest ROM out there for D802?

Hi,
I went through several ROMs with my G2, and the only one fast enough so far (with LP) was BlissPop. But the latest builds of BlissPop have random reboots in them, and I can not afford to wait with a useless phone. My phone performs fine in benchmarks, but the feeling and overall snappiness is just trash with most ROMs, because I do a lot of multitasking. I tried these ROMs, and they were not sufficiently fast enough:
Stock LG LP
Stock LG LP + Dorimanx Kernel (tried all the profiles)
CloudyG3
Ressurection Remix
SlimLP
No name 420 DPI
CM 12.1 Official
Maybe I should switch back to KK, before BlissPop developers solve the issues? Or is there a fast LP ROM I did not try yet? And if so, which one?
Thank you for your answers in advance.
Cloudy was getting way too laggy for me too, so I switched back to CM12.1 a few days ago and now I love my phone again. I did a lot of multitasking too, Chrome and Messenger at the same time would cause issues on Cloudy, but no problem on CM. Battery lasts longer too.
I found it, I'll take a look, thanks. But more tips are welcome.
You should try Xceed kernel immediately!
Recommended stock based rom+ xceed kernel .. It will make you phone like Lamborghini

temasek's unofficial cm build is really fast and you will get 5 hours+ sot with ultra speed without any kernel and customizations. just install and use
Stock LP from + dorimanx gives me 6 hrs SOT and its pretty fast
That is what I do not understand. How? How does it work for you, but does not work for me as well? Stock LP and CloudyG3 were HORRIBLE with Dorimanx! How is it even possible?

Yeah, Lollipop Cloudy is horrible with dorimanx. But pretty good (imo best g2 experience) on stock kernel, but i haven't tried xceed yet. Dorimanx was fast and stable on kitkat, now it isn't. It has horrible slowdowns.
Btw. I broke my g2 today
have you tried tesla or tipsy. they were fster on my s2. then the rest..
The fastest rom is stock CM.
Try cm12.1 unofficial temasek realy amazing and very very good battery life
I'm trying out stock CM 12.1 and it isn't bad, but it is definitively slower than BlissPop, so, is temasek's build faster?

Can't blame if you want LG experience. Working just great for me.
I know exactly what you mean. The multitasking performance and ram management of G2 stock roms is horrible - doesn't matter which one and which kernel you use.
No comparison to HTC Sense for example.
With CM12.1 and BlissPop you already have the cherry picks.

how long stay the battery ?
So I tried the official CM 12.1 and it was no better than the others. Heavy multitasking is impossible (Messenger, Firefox, CG Transit, Apex, Google Play Music + Viper and Opera just can not run at the same time, and the could in BlissPop).
I'll give a try to the unofficial temaseks build, but I doubt it.
Aosp is obvious faster than stock, but u are daying goodbye to a good camera, a good voice recorder, probay u are going to have a lower sound volume/quality (happened to me with aosp roms) also qrremote and a lot of lg goodies,
Since i use a lot the camera and i sing with guitar and voice, i need a good camera and a good voice recorder, so i stay with cloudy g3.3
It isnt that slow imho, just slower than aosp, this doesnt mean slow itself, stable no reboots no problems and the battery last a lot, equal or better than aosp

smooth and fast in nexus 6p

Wich ROM, mod, kernel or combination of two of them give me the best experience in android?? I m looking for an Android system fast, smooth and best battery life. Thanks to all
If something was the best, nothing else would be used as there's no point in using something that's inferior when you can get something better.
There is no best, I suggest you read each thread and pick one that suits your needs. Saying X ROM and kernel is the best is like saying a specific vehicle is the best...One may say a Ferrari and another may say an F-350. But who's right?
Some people like roms and kernels bloated with 1000 customization options filled with placebo "optimization and enhancements". Others prefer a clean, minimal ROM without all the useless bling that they'll never use.
P.S. there's probably 10 threads like these, and possibly 11 by next week that you could've read through. I'll just copy and paste this same post on the next one.

Using the phone for SMS/MMS, YouTube and web browsing. I can get ~ 5/6h sot with a full charge on WiFi and ~ 3h30 sot on 3g/LTE which is enough for me.
Also using custom CPU governor profile in EXKernel Manager helped me with battery life without affecting performance (at least not that I noticed). You can find more infos here:

F2FS + Dark ROM + FLASH kernel ! That's the best combination and I am a serial flasher
These people that are saying there isn't a best ROM, I don't really understand the reasoning behind this. There most certainly is a best ROM kernel combination. Otherwise all these ROMs and kernels would be exactly the same right? Sorry to say, some are better than others. This is just a fact.
If you want speed, smoothness, glass, breakneck speeds, great battery life, there really is one only choice.

Why?
On f2fs, (trust me, you want f2fs) I have yet to find kernel or ROM combination that beats this.
Its the only rom that's built with GCC 6.3.1, and the only rom built with clang 3.9.1. Coupled with f2fs, this rom FLIES.

Uber rom by Chad I definitely agree is the best. I tried using his faster angler but it caused problems with mods like viper4arise so I am sticking with flash kernel. Uber by Chad is definitely the best rom though and I have tried so many roms like pure nexus, resurrection remix, dirty unicorns, sixRom, lineage, cyanogenmod, nitrogen, Cortex and so many more.
Is the stock camera working on either Uber or Dark ROM with f2fs file system?
Thanks
There's no such thing as a best rom fact, but only best rom opinions, which isn't a good idea to ever discuss here. [emoji14]
As for battery, that all depends on you as a user to manager your battery life your way. I get 4+ SOT easily and I listen to a lot of music and text a lot.
As for what I'm using, I'm running ABC Rom with franco.kernel, root, and V4A. ?

I basically just wiped cache and dalvik/art cache and flashed the rom and kernel and all my mods. I also made sure to do stuff like rename audio effects and everything I did to make it work with flash. I use stable 2.4 deutronomy aroma installer. I was talking to someone else on this rom and kernel and he said he had the same problem too so it might be hit and miss or maybe you flashed it different than us. Please tell.me what you did to get it to work. Thanks
What partitions do you guys convert to f2s besides cache? Data as well? Everything else remains ext4?
Running stock has been great for me lately. Downgraded to 6.0.1 running Xposed for pixel mods. Amplify and greenify. With exkernel has been a great experience so far. Near 7h SOT yesterday. Will be going back to 7.1.1 soon, as the February update is out.. I heard lineage OS has good battery life. Will be trying that out soon in a few days.

Been a long time Franco Kernel user so didn't try anything else as generally didn't feel the need. My main needs are satisfied with a kernel that gets additional battery life, Viper4Android and Substratum theming. After that OOS/Nova Launcher was good enough.

In the past when I had the OP3, h2os was way more polished and used to be the base (got updates early) for OOS. However, now both seem to be at the same page and the h2os build is always updated post the OOS build. How has been your experience with h2os?

Just got my OP5 in the mail today, will be unboxing it tonight! I'm planning on either flashing RR with Lightning Kernel, or the unofficial RR since it has lightning built in, as well as a few other mods (like YouTube AdBlock/Background playback)
I used H2OS from the start since I bought both the phones (8GB versions) ridiculously cheap for just 3500 RMB (€450) in China. Removed some of the Chinese apps. But most of them I actually use since I am actually living here. The H2OS versions were not haunted by most of the early issues I read on the international forum.. I didn't have wifi or Bluetooth issues.. also didn't have weird battery drains. So after trying OOS for 2 days I went back to H2OS which I found to be slightly better on the battery.
Right now I use my OP5 1 with H2OS and Franco kernel as my daily driver and the OP5 2 I experiment with with other roms and kernels until I find something that is worth making my daily driver software.

For you, what is the best Kernel for Battery ? I'm using stock OOS and Lightning Kernel.
If H2OS is good I may try it

Lightning v7 is great on battery. Just tweak it a little bit for your usage and you may get even better results. Boeffla is also equivalent good for battery. Blu_spark and ElementalX are more biased towards balanced profile.
