Most Popular AOSP?

What are the most popular and downloaded AOSP for the Note 3?
This one is a bit hazy but from what I researched I found:
- C-ROM Kang
- Temasek CM11 (a bit more stable than main CM from what I hear)
- SlimKat
Although I assume many don't use AOSP much due to loosing S-Pen features.
If you want AOSP look then you may want to go for X-Note which has an AOSP theme as well switching to something like Nova Launcher where you can still use S-Pen features.
I want a pure android experience in my rooted Note 3, because I also have a stock non rooted Note 4.
I want to experiment with the best pure Android in my Note 3. So I need to know what are the most popular Original android Roms.
@iq-dot is totally correct!
You should definitely try out those 3 then, all are equally popular and fairly stable. There are more but they are less stable and less popular, I narrowed it down to those.

Best custom rom

Can anyone suggest me the best stable rom ..And a suitable kernel ...I'm flashing for the first time ..So please help
I have been using Validus-athene-7.1.1.Release.13.7-OFFICIAL-20170319-1903! and I have faced no problems so far, it is smooth as butter and substratum works like a charm! It has a built in magisk instead of su which really helps!
The best is subjective. My favorite is Ressurection Remix but for some reason the notification light doesn't work for missed calls and voicemails and that really bothers me for some irrational reason. If you like the Moto camera, it will work without having to remove any system files.
I am using Tesla which has been working great. There is something about RR I like better but have forgotten what it is. Validus is an awesome time as well.
Most of the other ROMs seem really good as well but I can't get the Moto camera to work with them. I have to reboot to get the pics to show up in the gallery, Google photos etc.
The best and most fun thing to do is try them all. A day without flashing is like a day without sunshine.
The only good custom kernel ATM for Athene is ElementalX. Vegito and Quark have very buggy hotplug implementations so there's a lot of jank and lag. ElementalX keeps the 4 powersave cores enabled all the time, but also has a slight overclock, sound control, color control, and a bunch of other features as well.
Custom ROMs are also subjective in terms of UX. The majority of ROMs out there are LineageOS-based, and all are pretty smooth and functional.
Beanstalk is a very solid ROM that I've used. Stock ROM + ElementalX is also a very good combination.
In my opinion, the best in terms of:
1. Customisation - RR, AICP, Validus, DU
2. Stability + useful additions - Invicta, CypherOS
3. Close to stock + Behind the scene optimisation - Jerome's Creampie with Nougat (basically ODE-XED stock Moto ROM) or just Stock ROM with EX kernel
4. Battery life (subjective, but based on average opinion) - Invicta, Oct-OS
I wouldn't recommend LineageOS yet as it still is jittery and unfinished to me - needs more time.
I haven't tried AOGSPX, TipsyOS, Tesla, Beanstalk and Darkness redefined ROM so can't comment. Maybe you should
AOSP-CAF Pure, AICP, CarbonROM, DU development​ is relatively stunted and unofficial versions so updates aren't as reliable I guess.
In my opinion no kernel comes close to EX. Actually most inbuilt kernels seems pretty optimised. Lineage + EX and Stock + EX seems pretty nice. I also think some of them ROMs have EX commits baked in so not much of a difference.
Have a nice day Happy flashing!
Ok, fine, I'll make a decent list of ROMs and kernels here:
Kernels: Nothing but ElementalX. LOS incorporates EX commits, or vice versa, idk. Regardless, @flar2 's kernel is by far the best if your ROM lacks some TCP config/io schedulers/sound control. Most ROM kernels are generally stable regardless.
ROMs:
So far, I have tested:
- RR- stable, customizable
- DU- stable, customizable
- LOS 14.1- stable, limited in customization, but naturally better than stock
- LOS 14.1 OMS (now Invicta)- stable, customizable with OMS
- AOSP-CAF- fast, stable, great battery life, limited on the customization
- Slim7 UNOFFICIAL- same as above
- Slim6- stable, good battery life, but unoptimized and stuttery
- Temasek CM13- stable, meh battery life, performance is slightly better than Slim6
- CM13 UNOFFICIAL- same as above
- GZR Tesla- fast, customizable
- AOSPExtended- slow and laggy even after repeat flashes and wipes, like wtf? Very customizable however.
- AOKP- meh, somewhat laggy, good customization
- BeanStalk- one of my favorites- fast, customizable, good battery life
- OmniROM- also a good ROM- fast, somewhat customizable, stable
- Stock with EX/Magisk- extremely stable, but it's never been as good as a clean custom ROM. Other people may argue with me though.
My list of favorites are the following:
- AOSP-CAF
- BeanStalk
- OmniROM
Huge shout out to the new PureNexus build that was released today! Will update this list after testing it.

Looking for Rom like PureNexus, fast, clean and smooth

Hi, i've counted about 30 roms in the roms section... I'm looking (like the title) for a rom like purenexus on nexus but for oneplus 5... For who don't know what i'm talking about, it's not full of customization and it's very fast... Suggestion?
The stock ROM?
It offers a slight bit of customizations, but not too much. And it seems pretty fast to me.
Your only other option may be Slim. They don't have many features and pretty much no bloat.
When I say they don't have too many features I mean in comparison to ROMs such as Resurrection Remix which is loaded.
Dirty Unicorns is on par with PN in terms of stability, performance and features. Sadly is not on XDA but you can grab it from devsbase or their G+ community page.
Omnirom with pixel launcher
thank you all... i really love how fast the freedom os is and no other rom is so fast but i really miss substratum for themes... i've tried the resurrection remix is amazing but too much options for me and it's not fast like oxygen/freedom.... i tried also DU and PA but they're too laggy and too slow for me... I will try Slim7 and OminRom, thank you

Apps take lots of time in opening Pixel Experience Android 9 pie Rom

Hi All,
I have installed pixel experience ROM in MOTO G5 PLUS .
problem Apps takes 30 sec or 1 min to open same way for camera as well.
only call browser works instantally.
i got developer option choose animation Transition duration scale: Animation off earlier it was .5x by default.
if its bug then please fix.
Ram 4gb 15 gb space vacant in internal storage.
Thing i notice i have installed 15 gcam for testing does it create problem.
Same reason made me go back to stock oreo again.
Try CAF based roms like CITRUS - CAF or revengeOS. I am on regengeOS and its great.
Same. I will probably switch ROMs... Everything is sluggish as hell.

Do you guys think ArrowOS is better?

All AOSP roms will be same. But its different story of it is CAF based. CAF roms are more smoother and performs better compare to AOSP based roms. Because code aurora repository are updated for each chipset by Qualcomm contrarily to AOSP. That's why they are more optimised than AOSP roms.
As I said previously try CAF based roms CITRUS-Caf or revengeOS.
I'm on Pixel Experience 17-12 build. Things aren't that slow. It's not as snappy as stock but apps don't take 30 sec or so. A couple of seconds max with apps like WhatsApp and Deezer and stuff. 4GB variant.
Did you get a solution?

Best Android 10 Custom ROM in terms of stability??

Hello guys!
I've been using my Redmi 3s 2 GB Variant for 4 years now and I want a stable android q based ROM without bugs and I don't care about battery backup or customizations because I only want a ROM which can be used as a daily driver with no bugs
And if there isn't one on android q please suggest me one pie ROM with no bugs except LineageOS
Thank you
AEX 6.7 (November build ) ran w/o any issues. At least I couldn't find one. Had it installed for 3 months or so.
AEX lagged for me too much and I had tried the same build
Please can anyone suggest any good Custom ROM based on Android 9 or 10 for THE 2 GB VARIANT which has no bugs and performs good
I really don't need battery backup or any customization
Lag is most probably on account of too little available RAM.
You could try flashing Nanodroid microG + low RAM enabler package. Together should net RAM savings anywhere from 200-400MB. Also maybe look into Android Go apps like Gmail Go, Maps Go etc. I replaced SwiftKey with no-frills one like Old Keyboard(T9 only, no swipe) which consumes only 10MB vs 70-100MB. AnySoft is a feature-rich alternative but consumes less RAM. Among mainstream launchers Nova is still pretty light. Also Web versions/PWA wherever possible instead of a separate app. Titanium Backup to freeze infrequently used yet oft-running apps. F-Droid hosts plenty of lightweight yet surprisingly well-featured alternatives.
Edit: I found Kiwi Browser (even with a handful of extensions enabled) to be quite good in terms of tabs being retained for a reasonable length of time. Better than Samsung Browser and even Chrome.
