i have a SP with UBL and i flashed Vanir AOSP rom since January 6 with "in-rom" kernel. Recently i flashed NayakKernel v0.3.
its fast, good battery drain, and very stable for daily use. Have a little bugs like others KitKat roms but is the most suitable for my daily use.
Try and then tell us what you think

VanirAOSP rom is really fast, and has great battery life.
I have no crashes or FC. since I installed it, the only problem I had was that the screen became totally unresponsive and I had to do a reset. But just one time…
Sometimes the screen does not respond to touch if it is in a horizontal position on the table, and i need to pick it up ...but I think it is a SP bug and not a ROM bug…. Or not!?
I charge the battery overnight (100%), i make and receive calls and sms, read the news, personal and corporate email, check the XDA forum many times :laugh::laugh::laugh:, facebook, Google +, 3 or 4 lightweight games (almost never play), some youtube videos for my baby, do not usually listen music, and have google location disabled. Usually I end the day with 40-50% of battery,
Is always connected to the internet. At home and at work have WIFI always on. If WIFI is OFF, 3G is connected.
For my daily use, this is the best kitkat based rom for xperia SP, with a very good performance and lite features. I'm very happy and satisfied with this ROM, and i'm waiting the new version (and changelog) to update.
Thanks to Whitemamba for the great job. :good:

Thank you i will give it a try

I9500 Kernel (Light Weight Kernel 20.4) Issues

There's only one kernel for i9500 CM, and after flashing LWK 20.4 my wifi stopped working and I've just dirty flashed CM12.1 on my phone again.
Well, since I can't post on development forum: is there anyone that can help me with this?
The original reason I've dabbled with kernels is the abhorrent battery life I was getting out of my box. Like, 6-10 hours with little to no usage!
When I've first installed gearCM about 5 months ago, battery life was tolerable. Not as good as stock firmware, but good enough to last the day. I've installed OTA updates every few weeks and after the latest such event (~2 weeks ago?) my battery just started to drain.
I've re-installed another rom, Resurrection Remix 5.5.8, which still drained battery. Now I'm on official CM 12.1 latest nightly. Google services crashes every now and then. I haven't really gotten a chance to test battery life, but I'm pessimistic.
What can I do about a good and functioning kernel with a stable ROM? (no TW please)
CM and CM-based roms I like most, but if LWK isn't going to work on them, what other ROM would you recommend?

Try PAC ROM 5.1.1

Hi,
Try GearMod kernel and let me know.

Best STABLE ROM released for Redmi 2?

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.

[Q] Seeking specific rom

Hello
I've dug my old N4 for some use while my current device is in for a repair. Been a few years since I last used it. Madhi rom was the last one I flashed, oh yeah the good old days.
Can anyone suggest a stable and battery consistent rom that has status bar tweaks that allow the battery icon colour to be changed (or the icons individually)? I'd prefer Lollipop which is probably the most stable as I'd be using this as a daily driver and not looking for FCs every now and then!
Also would like the latest CM theme engine with the rom.
Resurrection Remix on my HTC fitted the bill, but does the N4 version have the same features, and the N4 version I found is Marshmallow based.
Apologies, I know these type of threads are not popular

Cm 12.1 is available for n4

Have Nougat roms stabilised enough to be useful as daily drivers without too many crashes? I appreciate the N4 is an antique these days and we're lucky enough to have Marshmallow, let alone Nougat!
Had a feeling battery would be poor on Nougat roms compared to Lollipop or even Kitkat? Thanks,

Nitrogen os rom is very stable best nougat rom chroma is best for marshmallow and I like cm12.1 for lollipop personally

Thanks for that, would you say they all offer similar battery life?

Yes I would say that

Suggest Rom with the best battery performance

Hi guys,
After a disappointing stay at Oreo for several months, I downgraded to Nougat. Things are a bit better but far from marshmallow I recalled when I got the phone.
I got a bit older so I am not so fond of trying different roms every month.
So before downgrading to stock marshmallow for good , is there any other rom with a better battery performance? I just need a stable rom (I don't care if it is not supported anymore) with the most optimum battery life.
Is that too much to ask?

Best battery life without you having any involvement would probably be straight stock.. You can get as good battery life as you want with any rom by taking control, with root apps for disabling system services and apps, firewall, kernel tweaks, etc... If you're not interested in doing the work, just use straight stock rom with Greenify or something.

OmniROM, actually the best battery/performance ROM on this device http://dl.omnirom.org/kugo/

Levone1, my attempt to do so in Oreo failed miserably
It was better though, but far from ideal. Maybe though I didn't mess with kernel, so I can't really blame Oreo (yet!).

Would you recommend Nougat or Oreo release for OmniROM?
