Hey guys, I'm new here.. like super new and that's why I can't post to The Best CM12.1 CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM For Lenovo A6000/Plus (Stable) thread.
I would love to flash this rom. Stock KK is so slow and hanging every time I try to run more than one app (Spotify + Snapchat? Impossible!) But here is the thing. I've never did that before. I guess I know how to flash TWRP recovery and the actual ROM but I have no clue what to do with so many kernels.
My questions are:
1. Why do I need flash some kernel? I just want functional phone for everyday use with the best peformance+battery backup. I'm not looking for some "everyday flashing something new.". so can I just flash the rom without any addiotional kernel?
2. Dolby! I love music and I love Dolby. Can I flash Dolby Atmos?
3. Nobody is talking about heavy RAM usage (like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram - that's all I need actually). I know, 1 Gb is not many but I was suprised when my friend's 1GB ram phone can handle running Snapchat, Messenger and Spotify in one time without any significant lag! HOW?!
4. What is No Optimization? Why do I need it? What is this good for?
5. What is screen blinking bug? I just want to know if I wouldn't mind it.
6. Is there any guide how to revert back to Kitkat stock rom? I'm always trying to be safe.
7. In Kitkat there's possibility to swap internal storage and SD card. Is it presented also here?
Thank you so much for your answers! Really guys! And sorry, my English is bad, I know.
Have a nice day.
i will be glad to guide you
1-make a backup for every thing in twrp recovery savet in ext sd -just in case
2-as a beginner don't disturb your self withe custom kernel section
3-just download the rom and update 11 and gapps
4-no optimization for advanced users who are like to use their own optimization
5-blinking bug is bug common in this rom the screen goes off for 1 sec and turn on again
6-you have to try the rom by your self to judge it for me it is the best rom i have in this device

i shall make a video tutorial on how to flash cyanogenmod 12.1 on a6000 by tonight =)
i have a question too that which rom is stable, ive tried cyanogenmod 12.1 but it lags i believe it hits a bottleneck limit causing it to lag because i cant seem to browse websites on chrome in peace without it hanging for a few...is there any other stable lollipop rom which doesnt consume too much RAM or should i add a custom kernel to squeeze out more performance

Custom kernels r used to squeeze more power and performance, so that u can get the most out of ur phone. If u know how to use custom kernels, dn go ahead with the flashing of ur preferred custom kernel. All ur hanging and lagging isues will be minimized at a great level. I personally prefer telo kernel by Mr. AW., and used the balanced setting given by ED300, and some settings that satisfy me, i haven't faced any lag thereafter.
Good luck!!

Hello, I got my cousin's Redmi 2, so I was hoping to put Custom ROMs. I've been searching around, but didn't seem to find the best stable ROM. I need a daily driver, and it doesn't need to be Marshmallow, but an upgrade from KitKat would be nice. I love the Lollipop UI. But still, I give my preference to the most stable ROM, since I don't want juggle around every single custom ROM available.
Thank You!
UPDATE 21/03.
Thank you guys for the poll! MIUI was getting all RAM sucky so I needed to get a Custom ROM. I've tried Nexus Experience, Resurrection Remix, HTC Remix, and Kuma's CyanogenMod 13.
Nexus Experience: It has same user interface you get from Nexus, but it lacks multitasking capabilities. Besides most of the ROMs in stock looks like this, so I wouldn't recommend this. Link to Download, Credits:Nexus Exp. team
HTC Remix: This ROM is bulky in size, I've waited for 3-4 hrs for it to complete the download, and when I installed, the recovery ended with an error. But from the reviews, it said it has some camera bugs with the stock cam but Snapdragon cam is working. It didn't have the HTC Dialer also. If you switched from an HTC and want the HTC UI, you should take this. Link to Download, Credits:(--light--)
Resurrection Remix: This ROM was good, but compared to CM13, this ROM sucked battery more and at the first boot, the status bar had some lag issues, but after one or two reboots, it was working perfect. Besides that, no problem, this is the second best ROM. Link to Download, Credits:nick37332001
Kumajaya's CM13: This is by far the best ROM I've tried. Battery is the best, considerable less lag while multi-tasking, good gaming performance, and the basic MM UI. I didn't find any bugs at all. If you're looking for the best ROM, this is the one. Link to Download Credits:ketut.kumajaya
I've also found that, newbies to ROM flashing tend to think Official ROMs and Builds are better than Unofficial ones. This is a wrong perception. Kuma's build's are unofficial, but it had a much better performance compared to Nexus Experience. What counts is how much work the devs put into this.
Hope this thread becomes helpful to both users as well as developers. Great work, devs. Hope you keep up the good work.
Hello Venkatesh, Im using 2014818 too. Can you tell me which ROM are you using? Also, even after I flashed Custom recovery, I still see stock recovery, but from there Im able to access TWRP. is this expected behavior? Please tell stable roms for Redmi 2 2014818

Blisspop ROM
I have flashed Blisspop ROM, run smoothly until now ( more than 2 days)
Kumajaya's Marshmellow as daily driver. Using since last december, never crash-rebooted and rare bugs. Battery could have been better. And camera, obviously you can't beat MIUI's stock camera but it's all right.
cm 13 by kuma is already stable because basic functionality of redmi 2 is now working been using till now
Thanks guys! I've updated my OP, with reviews.
@rohitaar I'm too on cm 13 its smooth stable,but have you tried aosp caf,if yes how's it? I like idea of pure aosp ROM on which I could use xposed if I want any feature.Please review it if you can
I must add the (at least) here, none of the MM ROMs has a working adb, and some of has GPS issues

Do not believe this guy, I've been using ADB for like every ROM to batch install the APKs which I've backed up from the Stock MIUI.
ADB works perfectly. Also, I love Here Maps more than Google Maps, and it has no problems at all. Brother, if you have any issues with your phone, you should check it with the manufacturers, or at least other users, see if they have any issues.

@rohitsonone No.. I had a look at it, but the UI seemed too Ice-Sandwich type! You see the screenshots! Guess I'm happy with CM13! You can use xposed in CM 13, no problems, although I don't want any tweaks.
I dont think kuma's cm13 ROM has best battery. I mean it is not to hurt him, but the marshmallow changes which forces us to enable gps for wifi functionality is the thief. It sucks battery like hell. But cm13 of kuma had awesome camera and it had no lags at all !! Very clean and smooth UI. As the kernel source has been released for redmi 2 we will have wait for some good battery management tweaks. PS: I am using kuma's cm12.1 as my daily driver and it has no problem at all except camera quality and the battery management(better than cm13 but still . . .)
can anyone help me with the audio bug? {audio playing with speaker and headphones.} the roms i used tends to work normally for 10 reboots. but after some reboots the audio bug kicks in. audio playing with speaker and headphones. hope thats the bug with roms. I have used Ressurection Remix both 5.1 and 6.0.
How are you, users? I know about the Pokemon Go fever is affecting everyone ... but let the matter.
I have a Redmi 2 (1GB), and I know that recommended by the Niantic is the utilization of an Android phone with 2GB of RAM. But the game can run normally in the official MIUI!, in other case, M based custom rom's are soo laggy...
Anyone know why or a solution or a custom rom good for that?
I'm asking because recently bought a sd card uhs-1 and miss Adoptable storage, and pure android. :crying:
Okay, let's go!
Android M is really heavier in RAM than the stock KitKat. I saw this playing Pokémon GO. After trying many ROMs and kernels, LMK values, optimized KSM, ZRAM, the game continued to crash, slowdown. Well, the problem could be only one: RAM.
After this I started to search a debloated KK rom. KitKat is lighter than LP and MM. And I found this: http://forum.miuirom.com.br/index.php?threads/rom-miui-8-miui-brasil-e-miui-global-6-7-21.506/
The download link is: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424948969 (for Redmi2 1GB)
Its a debloated version of KK MIUI8. Its blazing fast, and runs Pokémon GO fine, without any problems. I am learning something to develop a KK kernel with more features to this, specially to improve battery life. Maybe it will be available in next weeks.
Well, lets catch Pokémon!
Thanks, Dan_Jacques! I'm facing the same problem but I'm looking for a stable, non-MIUI KitKat rom. Would you happen to know any?

I've tried it and really liked it, but I had two problems with it: wasn't getting push notifications (from Whatsapp messages, for example), and couldn't install Google Play Music. I think I'll try it again sometime, maybe with the next update!!

My redmi 2 is 16gb storage and 2gb of ram. On custom roms pokemon go always laggy even mine is 2gb of ram. On the other hand when i use miui 7/8 th game is so smooth. The only problem is that, miui 8 that i used has problem with vpn. It says its connected but ip address does not change. I dont have vpn problem on custom roms only on miui.
Hopefully someday there will be a custom rom/kernel that can solve the laggy problem. Btw miui 8 on mine runs on lollipop

You can try the MIUI8 KK through fastboot. I think if I can flash LP MIUI8 on my 1GB Redmi2, you can flash KK MIUI8 on your 2GB Redmi2 :laugh:

Do you have vpn problem on miui 8 LP? If KK can fix my vpn problem i would be very happy. The reason why i use LP is because i got it LP first on miui 7.5 via OTA. So maybe its necessary to keep using LP.

U can try checking ip buy typing "what is my ip" on default browser or firefox. Dont use chrome.
Then connect to vpn check ip again. See if the ip change or not. If the ip change it means no vpn problem.
This problem only occurs when i use mobile data. If i use wifi, vpn works just fine
does this debloated KK MIUI8 offers the option of installing apps to the SD card?
I am a noob user, I just know how to use a phone, and seldom understand many technical terms, and just able to perform flashing new ROMs on my phone, I prefer a stable ROM for long term use, I have been using CM11 after trying a bunch of ROMS, and I factory reset it a couple of times, because of some lags and abrupt shutdowns, I now want to have a change in UI, but want a good battery backup. I use, JIO 4G sim in one slot and telenor 2g sim in another. I dont play games , occasionally i watch videos, but much of the time, I prefer using my phone for exam prep and browsing.
Does my phone support Nougat? is there any custom ROM that is stable, in NOUGAT?, If yes, please suggest the same for me.
Thanks in advance for the seniors
try AICP by dev_harsh
stockrom 4.4.4 s040 is the best
If your N Fan and u just have to try it out then check out Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 (with over the air updates supported) -by Dev Harsh
however i used it and grew out of N because it became laggy after a while i guess its all the accumulated data that causeses that ultimately what i find best is CM13 - By ED300 + Prometheus/ Phatom Reborn Kernel (Overclocked to 1.6Mhz CPU/720Mhz GPU + Xposed Module for ultimate tweaking)
Use mokee7.1.2 by dev_har****. Very stable rom and smooth like butter. No lags no problem crashes. Use it if you want nougat. Around 400 MB ram always free in 1gb variant also.
Cosmic OS
Okay so Ive come up a pretty simple way to get really good gaming performance on the Redmi Note 3, while still being able to use all ur other daily apps like social media and stuff, altho idk if anyone has done this before...
So basically i realized that everyone keeps talking about different ROMs and Kernels, which ive tried a lot of, but my main problem always was when i started to install the daily apps that I need like Facebook, messenger, whatsapp, and so on. And ive not seen any game booster or anything which can actually improve ram performance enough to play games after installing all these dozens of apps that I need. In android they say that "free ram is wasted ram", but for gaming context its definitely not true.
So my simple solution was this: To dualboot two different ROMs : One for daily usage and one for gaming, So after trying a lot of stuff, what I've done is ive used DualBoot Patcher to boot ABC ROM Oreo with stock kernel (or radon or agni, but sometimes they cause bootloops on some builds) as my primary ROM, and then installed NitrogenOS Nougat + Radon kernel in gaming mode as my secondary ROM in the /dual partition or /data partition if u dont have enough space (I usually install picogapps to have more free space in /system).
And then I install all my games to NOS and also use link2sd to link the data to my SD Card.
This works really really well for me because whenever i want to game, i can just switch to this rom and it plays all games extremely smooth. PUBG works on the highest settings without any lag at all. So thats basically what you need to do.
I have mentioned these two roms because they work very well for me, but it is possible to use any other ROM of ur choice too. But, an oreo rom cannot be installed in the secondary partition so only install nougat roms, or marshmallow roms
I'm providing links to the various things mentioned here:
DualBoot Patcher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/mod-dual-boot-patcher-t3529570
ABC Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-abc-rom-t3729629
Radon Kernel:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/kernel-t3414884
NitrogenOS :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-nitrogen-os-11-01-2017-t3536211
For Gapps just use Picogapps or microgapps or anything from Opengapps (whatever u like).
P.S. I'm still a noob at this Android stuff and XDA stuff and ive only tried to share something from my own experience... If there is anything wrong or anything i can improve please let me know :3 Also, all the credits for all the softwares go to their respective developers. This is just a simple guide to help other people who may have faced similar issues like me.
If someone is unable to follow this guide and would like a more in depth and step by step guide to doing this, then please let me know and i will make a post with more details about this

Nono, not NOS Oreo, I used NOS Nougat. NOS Oreo is good as a daily driver for ur primary ROM (or ABC ROM too). For gaming, use NOS Nougat as the secondary ROM.... Nougat roms work well for gaming,
NOS N with Radon is not good for daily usage ? Any problems with using NOS N as the primary ROM ?

It definitely is good for daily usage, but if you install a lot of apps then it tends to slow down a bit. So if u want u can use NOS N as a primary rom too, but if you install only gaming apps on the secondary rom, then it will continue to run very fast. My guide was intended for those like me who tend to install dozens of apps ( even a hundred) that will slow down performance for gaming a lot...
Does miui supports dualboot? Miui is a beast in daily usage with its features but terrible gaming performance
Really miss radon kernel...the best kernel for gaming. Radon kernel with headphone jack fix? Is it possible? Just confused. Im only can use agni kernel because audio jack issue
PS: i found a kernel based on radon with customized option (include jack fix issue), its called "padon kernel", but im only found padon for oreo. Any idea where i can found padon kernel for nougat?

Yes MIUI can work if you use it as the primary ROM. Check out the dualboot thread to see how to make it work
Can you tell how you make Dual Patcher work?
The TWRP you are using, how yo install the ROMS and configure Dual Patcher, because i tried several times and i can't make it work
I am considering to root my phone and flash custom ROM which has gaming mode, good camera app? Any inputs about these two basic requirements.. about which ROM should I flash.. I went through XDA but could find many of the roms which are updated regularly.. so bit confused about where to start from because i usually have no time to jump from one rom to another..I would like the ROM which is stable for daily use..

I assume when you say Gaming Mode you mean the one similar to OxygenOS? Then I'm sorry but no ROM has that. Some have a Gaming Mode (Havoc , Syberia) but that's not OnePlus's Gaming Mode. It's a fairly simple one that just blocks Heads Up Notification. Same goes for Navigation Gestures.
Now the second point regarding Camera. Many ROMs have Stock OOS Camera built in. Others have Gcam and some have LineageOS / Snap Camera. You can install OnePlus Camera on all ROMs as well as Gcam. However their are issues such as broken 4K/60 FPS Recording, in some cases Broken Portrait Mode, etc. As far as Camera goes your best bet is to use Gcam. Or OOS Camera if you can live with a Few Bugs.
Now when it comes to recommendation, try any one you want. All of them are similar to each other in essence. Some have some more Customization than others. All are stable. If you want a good one, try OmniROM TreskMod. It's not available on XDA. Google it. The reason why I say this is :
It has Gapps Built-in. Makes flashing waaay easier. Also has Delta OTA Support so you don't have to download full ZIP Each time. Has Pixel look and feel and has some Customization. Good Luck.

Edit*
It's the first time since I own Android phones that I don't flash a custom ROM.... If it's just to recreate the same features than oos why bothering flashing?
And most of all 'features' present in custom roms are unneeded and unused by 80% of people.
Apart from that most of remaining active roms seem good to use... It's up to you to try.

I would suggest you keep your stock ROM and flash a magisk rom on top of it, like xXX No Limits or RenovateICE. They work as mods, introducing some extra features.
I've explored ROMs and haven't found enough of a reason to keep one. I'm running rooted OOS. I've used Havoc, aosip, pixel experience, and in the end, they have bugs that are actively being worked out through weekly releases and I find myself having to restore back to OOS. I use Gcam on OOS after flashing the framework with Magisk. There's plenty you can do with the OOS and with Android Q coming, there will be a whole other bug repair sequence going on again, including adapting the custom roms to mimic or outdo the newest OOS with Q.
