As the title suggests, all the Moto x play users are invited to tell which ROMs they used and term as best.
The criteria is all you can choose from like fluidity, features, stability, battery life, etc
So start flashing new ROMs and keep posting in the thread.
Enjoy Flashaholics...
In my opinion Resurrection Remix has the best combination of features and it is very stable, but it could have better battery life and fluidity (I read that the next release will be more fluid)
CrDroid has the most commonly used features, it lacks some bells and whistles but it provides good battery life.
Using RR with squid's kernel, the device performs superbly, but yes, as @alresave mentioned, the battery life could be a little better.
Haven't used it personally, but for performance and battery life, I'd recommend you go for Tesla since its mostly AOSP and much more stable and fluid.
For me Cm13 with squid kernel

How is battery life vs stock for you? Also, does CM13 support ambient display?
I thought I saw temasek say his CM13 was tweaked to include it.
I just found out that the stock ROM doesn't support hotplugging, which I thought only had to do with the ROM. I'm wondering if I would get bettery battery life using CM13(due to hotplugging, mainly,) but also wondering if there are any noticeable hiccups still.

Cm13 does have ambient display - showing notifications, clock etc.
On stock with my setting - I don't used greenify and such apps i got about 6-7 SOT with a little below 40 h mark without charger. I am using CM13 with squid kernel for about 24h and needles to say the battery life will be a little worse due to changing kernel settings flashing CM13 nightly update etc . The kernel needs to be left alone for a few days to settle which gives best results. Latest 0407 nightly build with squid kernel 16b with interactive governor will give 5-6 SOT IMO.
To put the battery life in perspective - my friend has stock HTC Desire Eye and he has to charge it every day with medium usage and maybe 3 sot.
From the next nightly ota update i will be using cm13 without any extra kernel just to see how the basic kernel performs and that the basic battery life is

I am on Blisspop and man its got everything I need. It's stable and slick. Battery life has to be checked. Blisspop and RR are very similar in features they offer. Tried both of them.
The logo of RR is very slick and nice. Even the boot animation is really nice.

I miss SlimPIE. Some ROMs even say they have it but have PAPIE or CMPIE.
Gotta say the best rom was stock 5.1 but I found Tesla Rom to be stupid snappy regardless of kernel. Battery for whatever reason has been crap for me but most users in the thread report an amazing battery life. I've only had it for a day so I guess I'll let things settle and see if the rom does the trick after all.
I tried AICP and Bliss, and Bliss with ultra kernel r5 works fine!
If you want battery go with any slim based Rom's. That will be for battery- I tried orion- one bug each time I reboot data Sim got switched to primary slot.
Now I am sticking with Stock due to it's smart Sim feature.
I am on validus right now and it seems better than RR in terms of performance.

Tried Every ROM, But Stock Based ROM Marshmallux v2.0. Because Camera Performance & Battery is Great in Stock. Without Stock Other ROMs Camera Performance is Not Good.

In Which ROMS
Stock rom or a debloated stock rom like marshmallux or GtrCraft are my personal favorite's for smoothness and battery life.

Hello guys
I'm a CM based ROM lover and used Exodus Lollipop (CM) for some time, it is pretty good.
But as time goes by our battery starts needing some tweaks to maintain its acceptable performance level.
I wanted to try doze so I tried Pure Nexus (AOSP) for Mallow and it is good too, specially after using Taurus Kernel.
So I decided to move to Resurrection's (CM) using the same kernel, after seeing Pure is not updated with frequency.
Bam! Same battery consumption of Lollipop, on Mallow.
I'm not sure about it, that's why I'm asking here, have your guys ever noticed such a difference in battery performance between AOSP rooms and CM ones?
I always got poor battery backup on CM roms and sometimes average battery life. I got great to average battery backup on aosp roms but never had poor battery on aosp roms. It was mostly kernel which influenced battery life on aosp roms. CM on other hand didn't work well for me no matter which kernel i use. (since i prefer battery life)
I've tried cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13. They give terrible battery life...
Plus I've tried phronosis v5.2 which is ok..but not that much great with battery life..
So, which is the best ROM for note 3 considering battery life(without lag)?

Try Stock ROM or AryaMod (stock based) and flash Lean or Idle Kernel for battery life.
because Stock gives better battery anyday!
bob
Testet many roms but best and stabale battery friendly is aryamaod 5.3
The best is still debloated Kit Kat rom, either from jamal or rayman95 ☺

Try to look at ROM as linux distros.
Every ROM is bunch of apps,graphic and services put together while kernel is the one who makes the calls.
Kernel tells how every piece of hardware is going to be used including battery/cpu/gpu.
By installing custom kernel and lowering max freq. and minimizing active services you should get best results.
There are also undervolting uoptions and much more.
All in all its sad that you didint even bother to read any of existing articles about how android works ,battery management and kernel optimization.
Here are few articles you should read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ROM-VS-Kernel
http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu/projects/vss/docs/power/2-how-do-batteries-work.html
These are bear essentials so dig in.
Hi,
I am currently running Marshmallow stock firmware with root, because I pretty much have enough customization as I wanted with Xposed modules.
The reason I kept my firmware is because I think that its battery life is already great.
However, I am open to any ROMs that are more capable of handling more battery life than the current latest stock ROM.
Thanks.

According to people beanstalk and resurrection remix have best battery life
Try Oct OS N with Quark Kernel 2.2.
I'm getting around 6-8 hrs SOT with medium usage (Whatsapp, Tapatalk, Opera browser, Messenger, Music, General use like SMS, Phone)
Note: I use Greenify which further increases battery life.
From my experience even RR Nougat is pretty good. Great balance of customisation and battery life. Bugs are lil more compared to Oct OS or CM though.

Lineage OS, AOSP, or Stock Android?

I have no personal experience with Lineage but I was never a fan of Cyanogenmod and have read multiple posts that suggest it's pretty buggy. Stock will depend on which version of Android you are talking about. All versions of stock are pretty stable. Marshmallow is outdated but some people prefer it to Nougat because it gets better battery life than Nougat and works with Xposed. Nougat gets the latest features and security updates but for some reason Google has been pushing the default kernel settings very high recently so people have been experiencing poor battery life and the operating system itself eating up much more battery than in the past. AOSP would depend on the Rom you are running. I use Dirty Unicorns which is extremely stable and has better battery life than stock. Some Aosp Roms are more buggy and may provide better or worse battery life than stock depending on how they are programmed. There are also stock based Roms like Cortex, which adds Pixel features and gets the best battery life of any Rom I've been on. But the downside of a stock based Rom is that there is no OMS support for Substratum theming. My personal preference is for Dirty Unicorns but different people like different Roms.
I went to dirty unicorns and to me it's is faster than stock ROM cortex. I also like DU because it is oms and that is very important to me. Also having nav bar button customization is a plus. I would only jump back to stock if aosp takes to long to release
Stock is always most stable and allows for instant, effortless updates when available.
In terms of battery life, varies on your usage, I've had battery life that I would expect from a 3450 mAh phone.
You would see people buy a 6P and then start installing ROMs hours after and claim to get better/phenomenal battery life. Funny thing is that they have no idea what baseline is -_-

I went from Cortex to stock 7.1.2 for several days because I wanted to try stock again. The drop off in battery life was extremely noticable. People have also noted that on recent builds of stock if you look at the battery stats Android operating system and screen are eating up much more battery than they used to.

I didn't notice DU being any faster but I do like OMS support. There always seem to be problems with Substratum if you don't have it.
Bro, Chads uber obviously is the best. It is on clang 5.0.0 and is extremely fast and stable and I get up to 8 hours sot and weeks on standby. Also I built wakeblock for uber so I can block wakelocks to save even more battery.

Hello,
All ROMs should be stable. Stock is bloated, using a custom ROM helps getting ride of all the unnecessary stuff running in the background. Depending on your usage, battery life will fluctuate.
I only browse, send SMS/MMS, take pictures, videos and watch youtube with my phone. Mostly over WiFi. Don't have social network apps syncing in the background all the time. Yeah, i get 7 hours sot...
But, i guess the same with 3G/4G + Facebook + WhatsApp, etc... And I would be down to 3 hours sot obviously...
Don't let people decide for you which ROM is the best, because there is none. The best ROM is the one you like. These guys put a lot of time and effort to release their ROM. Some more than others, but still, saying this or this ROM is the best is kind of dumb and also insulting to other developers.
If there was a "best" ROM, the forum would only have one. Because everybody would use it. Or there is a best ROM and in this case those using the others are completely blind to see the truth?
Lol...
Check the forum and decide by yourself. Some are stock based, others aosp, lightweight or filled with a lot of options and customization.
Takes a few minutes to setup and if you don't like one, switch to another...
Happy flashing.
Cheers...

You can get 8 hrs SOT with any rom, including stock, given the proper usage.

Not really with sot. It depends highly on the rom and kernel.
I dont care much about saving space, and from my experience debloating doesn't do much to the battery life. I'd like a stable rom with possibility of black theme. All I care about is decent speed and screen on time. As for kernel I'm open for anything. SmallWiz V8 UX seemed like a good fit, but fingerprint doesnt work and theming is not possible.
Maybe stock rom with assertive display, phoenix kernel and modded theme is enough?
If you want black/dark themes, you are limiting the possibilities by going with stock-based ROM. Resurrection Remix N may be a good candidate because it has theming support, good battery life (although less than stock) and is quite stable for daily use.
If you only care about battery life (and can give up some theming), (generic unbranded) stock official ROM is your best bet.

Surprised to hear that stock is supposed to be best. I had xXx rom before, but when I got my phone back from repair with stock rom and new battery there's less juice than on xXx. Regarding black theme, it's just about battery life, not about fancy theme.

Stock usually performs the best in SOT tests because it has better frequency scaling and is able to use samsung closed-source drivers that is unavailable to AOSP ROMs. Most problems with battery life arise from either carrier bloat, or the apps installed by the user. There may also be a chance where something else is the cause but only in rare-cases. Usually a factory reset can fix all of these problems, however it may not work for all.
With that last line in the original post, it is often thought that using stock kernel will yield the best battery and stability. It has been discussed throughly about the battery impact a custom kernel places, and whether or not undervolting makes a difference (where it usually will yield almost none).
Any rom that supports the Boeffla-Kernel
i'm using popwiz 5.1
give it a shot
