I love the stock ROM so far. Coming from a rooted Sammy 10.1 that had the full tablet UI, but I think with the 7" for factor the stock feels rgt for a change. I still would like to root and get whatever helpful mods on here that I can. An OC kernel with better battery life is always great too. What choices do you guys recommend for what I'm after?
Rooted with stock is working fine for me at the moment. I wanted root just to get otg thumb drive support for more space for my 8 Gig rig. I could not pass up that $200 price tag and still get some 64 gig loving Lol.

Can I use a custom kernel with rooted stock? Will it work as well? Maybe a bad question.
Most ROMs and kernels are so early along that you better be prepared for stability issues.
My recommendation is that you go look around the Android Development forums and the Original Development forums. Everyone has their different preferences and styles in their choices, so nobody here will be able to tell you exactly what to use.

Yeah. I read around and it does seem early bit the kernels look good so far. 1.5 with some undervolting seems stable. But the hybrid Roms aren't what I'm looking for. Maybe a cm10 when its ready.

That statement is very misleading, as there are several ROMS with zero known issues whatsoever, and kernels too. Sure, most of them are unstable, but you only really need one of each to be stable. For example Trinity is totally stable, never an issue with that Kernel. CM10 is stable as far as I have heard, I have not tried it. But I have used AOKP and encountered not the first issue since installing that wasn't cause by apps not liking JellyBean(which would have happened on stock). My advice is, root then backup stock. Then toss on a few ROMS and see how you feel about it. Can always go back. It's the rooting itself that voids your warranty. Once done there is really no reason not to try on a few ROMS. If it's stability you need stick to CM10 and AOKP in my opinion. Most other ROMS are simply based on these with more things added, and that is where your stability problems usually lie anyway.
Paranoid Android. It has everything I wanted that wasn't included in the stock image.

I loved PA but i had major problems with it, sadly, that required me to move on to another ROM.

I've used Trinity Kernel a few times now and have had stability issues, even without overclocking. I think it has something to do with deep sleep, but whatever it is, it's frustrating. I'm gonna wait a few weeks to let the problems get ironed out before using it again. I'm on CM10 at the moment, and for the most part it seems rather stable, but I do have random issues here and there, and I don't know if they're related to the ROM or not. The only reason I'm on it is because I'm a bit flash happy, and just find the nightly updates exciting.
For most users, my recommendation persists, stick with stock and give the development a bit more time. If a user is feeling adventurous, then your advice definitely applies: Get a good backup, and explore with a multitude of ROMs, for everyone has different tastes and preferences.
Well dear all the people talking about stability issues:
Not flaming, just expressing my opinion:
Morfic's trinity kernels are still experimental releases, I wouldn't be expecting stability because they are not classed as 'stable'
I used earlier versions of his kernels and faced no problems at all
So it depends on which kernel/kernel version as to whether or not its stable
I am on AOKP build 1 and using Faux's 008 mainline kernel, it works very well, super stable and super quick
No issues at all here, I guess because I am on two stable and tested releases
I just got my phone couple of days ago, and today had the time to root it. Which is the most popular ROM for this device ?Is it worth to flash a custom ROM ?I mean for someone who needs a stable build ?Can you recommend something ?
Regards!

As of now, no there is not.
CM 10 is generally the most popular ROM. But when you're here, paranoidandroid is the most popular ROM.

CyanogenMod is always going to be the most stable custom ROM as long as you use the stable releases, simply because it's the most actively attended to and tested one. MIUI, Paranoid Android and Slim Bean come next and have their own perks, but they're just not on the same level.

ok, since there is no stable version of CM10, and I am not so into paranoidandroid, I guess the stock ROM is my only choice...Any custom kernel which works better with the stock ROM ?Without overclocking...I have 1800+ benchmark points in Antutu...Do you recommend smthing else ?

not really,
other roms base on the most stable rom in existance, google android, aosp. cm must take this base and make it possible for old, incompatible devices to get their share. thats only possible by extending the living heck out of it. some of it is overlaid, some is not. errors come in naturally, that just happens when you leave the safe path of aosp, hundreds of commits going through gerrit stemming from all kinds of sources. dont get me wrong, cm is an amazing project. but it cant provide the same stability that aosp based roms provide, the same speed and level of customization.
as a developer i can tell you that the software i get from google is flawless, they support me with functioning drivers and blobs, documentation and guidelines. i can literally forget about everything else and go wild, extend and create new stuff that wasnt there before. i will never run into the myriads of problems the cm team is uncovering in their crusade of introducing android to legacy devices - and that in my opinion is their true power.
pps- i see you included MIUI as well. think again. guess which is the worlds biggest rom with millions and millions of users. miui. guess whos the only rom that has on ounce of design credibility. miui. they have done things in their freetime that rival professional products and you can be sure a matias duarte will not go to xda when he's out of ideas, he's taking note when miui drops a release instead. i think you are greatly underestimating them.

dont get me wrong, cm is an amazing project. but the reason it traditionally takes a backseat on nexus plattforms is that it cant provide the same stability that aosp based roms provide. it cant provide the same speed and it cant provide the same level of customization. on all other plattforms cm is the unrivaled king, that is true.

thats up to you. try rasbeanjelly, aokp, carbon, liquid, xylon, minco, whatever you want. try cm. they all are unique in one way or another. im not commenting on what you should flash, you'll see what suits you best. i am commenting on the assumption that cm is stable and everything else is less stable which is complete and utter bullsh1t. :laugh:

paranoid android, just put all the apps back in phone mode and its basically a stock rom with added speed and a few more customizations. plus i like the kernel colors and the custom app colors, very well done
xylon is also great but not personally my favorite, has many customizations and is much like aokp with its own feel
Codefire-X is also one of the most stable and speedy roms out, it and PA are probably my favorite roms right now, and i feel bad its often overlooked, its like aokp with a more stockish feel but faster and stabler at this point
theres also Carbon rom which is made by a few the awesome liquid rom developers, havent tried yet but looks good
Saber Mod looks cool too with its linaro optimizations but as with carbon i havent had time to try it out
there are also some interesting roms like PAC and Rootbox, but those dont really sound like they would appeal to you as much
also keep in mind i mostly prefer the roms in original android development because of the general cleaner feel, but many of the roms in normal android development are also good if you want a bit of a different feel or special tweaks
but whatever you choose, just dont stay on stock you wont regret going with any of these roms over stock
I'm using MMuzzy rom now for some days and is realy good. Is aosp with some optional features i miss in stock rom. I combine it with Trinity four kernel and for now no problems with that combination.
Never like CM or aokp...to much features and never work without problems.
On the road with my Nexus S...

thanks a lot for the review...i've tried the PA ROM and it just ain't my thang....I will try some other releases
rasbean jelly, fast and stable.
So as the title says.. Iam kinda wondering whats the best rom thats close to the Pure nexus rom? Since they stopped dev on the pure nexus.
I love this rom variant on my nexus 10. So want something similar on my OPO too with android 7.1.1
Are there even any around yet ?
Sorry if this have been asked many times before. just didnt find a good answer to be honest...
Hi! There's a Pure Nexus ROM for OPO, I've never tried it but that's the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-pure-nexus-oneplus-one-t3477772 ; If you want something very stock-like there are many AOSP based ROM in the Android Development section. I'm using Nitrogen OS right now and i can say it gas a good mixture of feature from different ROMs like DU. I hope that this has been something useful
EDIT: thread has been closed as you mentioned, but the ROM isn't good ad a daily driver as i read later... Sorry

well some answer and recommendation is better then none so really appresierte that.
ya noticed there are many. And feel its a little messy whats a full rom and whats not. my OPO got COS 13.1. and since they are no more is the reason i want to change.
Also i have been using the pure nexus rom on my nexus 10 witch is why i want something simelar on my OPO. it made my Nexus 10 fast and smoother agian.
In my opinion best Nougat ROM for OPO is Nitrogen OS: fast, stable, tons of personalizations, great battery life, Sultan's camera HAL (which is way better than CM ones IMHO), substratum, weekly updates.
I was on Pure Nexus and due to the dev blowing a fuse and closing his project after putting out a bug filled 7.1.1 build and blaming the users, i moved to Resurrection Remix, very stable, no bugs so far, i'm on the 20170104 build. BTW this is my MHO

Lol, he abandoned the project because he don't have bacon anymore. He just wanted to put out a final build, where's the problem? He can't test it and without logs he can't do ****...
He didnt blame the users...but only the morons who reports bugs...complains....ask to fix bug...but same.morons can't even provide a log
Just hope he'll bring CarbonROM for bacon

It's all pretty much the same for me. Just different interface/some customizations, battery life between stock rom and CM13/LineageOS.
I flashed pretty much most of them stock, Cm13, Google Edition, Turbo rom. It depends what you like I think, everyone is different.
I like Cm13 by the Spainish team this tread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/cm13-0-lex720-team-superluminal-t3523391
I am running this rom I found it good: T.A.R.S-Dev-23S by Steve: http://tars-lepro3.blogspot.com.es/2017/02/tars-23s-beta-dev-para-lepro3-x720.html.
And Turbo rom I flashed few of them maybe the K6 was good, not sure you can still download it as the tread been closed.
7.1 Rom just one available I haven't try it yet. The custom roms are better than stock I think for speed,performance, sound etc.
Lineage or Turbo

Compared to the overbloated stock, I would also say that all custom roms are an improvement. I started with Cydras google edition, 2 Turbo versions but for the longest time and still am on the official lineage which has it's flaws, but all combined is not far from great.
Imo this could still be consolidated, there are some obviously very skilled developers involved but they do - to me as a noob - not seem to fully benefit from each others discoveries. Why would you need more than one great marshmallow and one great nougat rom(at some point in the future when they manage to get the camera working) which can then, as it always could, be customized to a very far extend?
I hope that at some point they will do some combined version - looking at what different parts and functions some of them managed to exceed expections, if that was combined... Well, I like to dream about it ...
Hi folks,
I want to change my ROM from xXx to another one, because xXx doesn't feel as fast as it used to be. And I wantto try another one. What ROM would you suggest? Which ROMS are considered popular, fast, stable andwith good support and user base? Thanks for helpimg me deciding, I want to narrow it down to 2 - 3 alternative ROMS to xXx mad try them and decide which suits me most.
Notice
please do not hate me for another topic which may seem dumb to you. I have been reading XDA Developers daily since I got my android (I started with HTC HD2, heh). I know there is no correct answer to my question and I believe most of you will reply something like " don't ask, just try" or "it is stupid question" or "go to other forum in this section, because we want to trashtalk you there".
I know that most of the users here on XDA are helpful, and so am I - I try to give advices to others whenever I think hadI experienced and solved any problem that other users might have had. But sadly there is also the loud minority of users that instead of helping others just replies something like "RTFM" (in better case). So, if You are this kind of people, please do not answer.Yes, I googled. Yeas, I read comparisons< just want to hear yout tips etc..
Thanks, folks!
Since owning my OP5, I have tried the following roms:
Freedom OS
then tired
xXx (for many months)
But recently, i'm now on
AquariOS 8.1.0 https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...om-aquarios-8-1-0-live-support-volte-t3768515
For me it’s d.u the most stable rom and aicp just after.
Have you considered that the setup on your phone and not just the ROM could also affect performance? What kernel and settings do you have? What other mods and tweaks do you use?

I would love to use AquariOS also .. But when I tried it I ended getting reboots always when using portable hotspot so that was a deal breaker for me .. Which version you are?
Also Im coming from xXx and now using aosp extended .. rather would use AquariOS
Why not try resurrection remix? I'm using it ever since 7.2 and it's amazing
I was on OOS until a few weeks ago. I tried a few custom ROMs, but crDroid seems to take the cake for me. It's pretty stable, has nice features, it's just great overall. I suggest giving it a try.

I am using blu_spark kernel, but with xXx ROM I am fed up with every other version there is a bug which makes me spent few hours figuring how to even boot the phone :/
Go for codename Phoenix. You can use camera m with all features working. It's also pretty smooth and gets updated often.

Thanks, will try.
I tried AquariOS, but the ROM is not ready for encrypted phones and has battery-related issues, despite being super beautiful and ultra fast. So I came back to xXx, this time to 10.3 version. But I will try other roms, so I can post updates here if anyone is interested.
Yet I must say I hoped for far larger number of people giving their thoughts, when I see how many users downloads and uses custom ROMS, as well as how many discuss threads.
Anyway, thank y'all!
I was on xXx for many months. Today am gonna try the Ressurection Remix (the GSI one) since project Treble is ported to our phone!
