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.

what is the most optimized rom for redmi 2?

Hey,
I search for the most optimized costum rom for my redmi 2. I saw a big performance boost when I switched from miui8 to cm13. does exist a more optimized rom as cm13 with even longer battery time and with less lag?
I would like to use a rom which is easy and where you can change a lot. the music player is important for me too.

Is redmi 2 and redmi 2 prime same

Each developer gives their at most effort to make a custom ROM that is best for our smartphone.So at first we have to greatful to every one of them.
If u want good performance and customization option,try DU ,zephyr or aicp.

I agree with you. When I Switched from MIUI to CM13, I experienced better performance and better battery life. CM 13 for Redmi 2 is best ROM regarding performance and customizability. But, I think the Dirty Unicorn ROM for Redmi 2 Outperforms CM13 for Redmi 2. I am using Dirty Unicorn from last month and triumphal with the performance and battery backup. Also, the Dirty Unicorn is based on CM Theme Engine and AOSP, so we get customizability and Pure Android UI.
In my Opinion, The Dirty Unicorn is optimized ROM for Redmi 2.

Two Recommendations ...
In the category of Optimized ..
Xosp - Fully Customized , No bloatware , may flash The Xperia Apps on your own , longer battery Life and a Lag less Environment
Xiaomi.eu ROM - this is the best MIUI ROM you can get for your Device , trust me .. bloatware fully Removed , Google Apps Removed , Smooth like a Butter , Font Change Option Available , Based on latest Firmware , Regular Updates (once a month) .. try this a You'll love it

Isn't there any ROM on which we can get same sound quality as of stock MIUI ROM??

The CyanogenMod is as good as Stock MIUI but provides better customization features than MIUI. I am using the CM13 on my Redmi 2 and never faced any problem. I am happy after replacing the MIUI7 with CM13.
Here are the features of CyanogenMod OS, if you are interested. Top CyanogenMod Features
I also tried the Dirty Unicorn ROM. It was a fantastic ROM. It is highly optimized ROM for Redmi 2. I never faced any battery backup issue while using the Dirty Unicorn ROM. The MIUI is little less optimized for battery usage.

How about Resurrection Remix?
Who is the best between CM13 vs RR vs DU???

I think the best option is try these ROM by yourself and see which is best for you.

Mokee has ads and a lot of bloatware. It has a Chinese base which I despise a lot. Hell, it takes up more space on the system partition than any other custom ROM!
I have flashed quite a lot of ROMs on my device from both Android 6.0.1 and Android 7.1.1. So far, best marshmallow experience was with CM13 20161031 build and best nougat experience was with CM14.1 20161225 build. You see, these ROMs not only provide great battery backup but they also have their share of necessary customization features which I loved a lot. And yes, if you want to try MIUI best choice would be to go for xiaomi.eu ROMs. Also, Redmi 2 and Redmi 2 Prime has the same board wt88047. So any ROM for Redmi 2 is compatible with Redmi 2 Prime and vice versa. Happy flashing!!:good:

Try Validus for good battery backup and use viperv4 or any other sound mod if you want music and try lineage os for stock experience it has heating issues for now, try in next update.

Custom rom: Tesla, Mokee and LineageOS
Miui rom: Miui 6.6.3.0 or another by Xiaomi.eu is amazing! The more beautiful at all. Very good battery backup!

RR N OMS :good: insane battery backup with full features and OMS.

Quick Question

Hello ppl.
Until now we have some amazing custom roms.
My question is:
What do you prefer?
Until now we have aokp, slim7, viperos, lineageos and xenonhd.
For sure we can use one device tree for all custom roms. We only need to add an slim.mk, viper.mk, xenonhd.mk and such stuff to the device tree's to get a working rom at all.
I found xenonhd yesterday and i thought that viperos is my final rom. But that was finally wrong.
With xenonhd i have full root, full working equalizer for music and such stuff.
So this one is my favourite for now.

Lineage os is my favorite, with a close second of viper os, but I'm not familiar with xenonhd. What is that? Is it nougat?
(Sorry for quoting you Kraze I didn't mean to)

where is the xenonhd ROM link? until now I prefer Lineage.

Lineage is usually a base for other ROMs , so it would be nice if it got more focus to optimise it
, also many of the phone's major issues (Camera / Performance ) Can use improvements

After trying all ROMs other than xenonhd you mention. I have settled on Slim 7. It works good enough and I do not need the extra features with other ROMs. Plus you also get more storage space which I keep running out of.

Slim7 is my favorite

i would prefer pure AOSP

you should update properly your github and sources, even vendors.
so we can use one for all people./rom and we will make better device tree.

My favourite rom is LineageOS. But I prefer Slim7 or ViperOS too. Other roms have bad performance and toooo many useless customization. I think you should update 5.1/6.0 custom roms. CM for example. Now I still on Lineage because this rom is more stable and smooth.

an update to cm12.1 would also be great as it has some issues also like:
- no option to prevent the phone from waking up in your pocket when using double tap to wake
- cannot connect to camera problem happening sometimes
- unable to change lock screen wallpaper
Those are some quality of life updates fixes to the CM12.1 rom that would make it even better while we wait for the nougat roms to be completely fixed.

But the development of the Oreo version at what point is it? Is anyone occupying it?

lineageos

lineageos 13, stable cm12.1 or cm13 or Miui prefer, can you port?

Best rom ?

Hi there guys , there so much diferents ROMs here
And wanted to know what are the best 5, in terms of fluidity, battery and functionality?

Well, there's no best, only favorites. A ROM that runs great for me on my device may be a problem for others (VertexOS is a good example).
For the record my favorite on the Axon 7 is Dark ROM.
ZTE Axon 7 A2017U, Dirty Unicorns UNOFFICIAL v11.7.2 ROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5

With the exception of MIUI 9 I have tested just about every ROM that's currently in development for the Axon 7. I always end up coming back to DARK ROM because it combines the simplicity and smoothness of LineageOS with a few extra features, such as OMS support and bypassing the PIN unlock on reboot.

ROMs differences.
Instead of creating yet another thread, I'll just hijack this one if that's alright with you guys .
Can somebody give me a rundown of the pros and cons of AOSP and LOS based ROMs in comparison to stock?
I know that camera apps won't work properly on custom ROMs and that there used to be some issue with the DAC, but that seems to have been patched since then (on LOS at least), is that right?
Thanks in advance.

have tried many rom's, last one was lineage14.1 (full of bugs) and now i'm very satisfied with '' Stock 7.1.1 B02 based for A2017G. The "We can do it better than zte" ed. ''

LineageOS was utter crap back in February, but it's gotten a long way since. I believe Lineage + BeastMode Kernel is awesome for performance (not so much for battery though)

Honest Review of OnePlus X Custom ROMs

Hello everybody, just wanted to share my honest review of using custom ROMs on OnePlus X and below are my reviews of a few ROMs :-
1. AOSP_JDC Team: The battery backup and performance are good, and there is no lag. The ROM is stable and fluid.
2. AOSP Oreo 8.1: As usual the performance is good, battery backup is ok and there is no lag.
3. Lineage OS 15.1: Seriously I had a very bad experience with this ROM. When I flashed it there were no issues, the battery backup was excellent but suddenly after half an hour the message kept popping up "android.process.acore keeps stopping", I also flashed the latest build not of any use.
4. Resurrection Remix 5.8.3: This ROM is also good but for me there was Data Connection error.
Currently I'm back on Stock ROM. Its not 100% stock because I modified the stock rom by rooting and using magisk modules. I also flashed Viper4Arise_Sony_Stock_Edition to increase the sound quality.
I'm happy on my modified stock rom. Currently not planning to flash any custom rom. :good:
