CyanogenMod 14.1 Unofficial Review - G 2014 General

Hi guys,
i have made one video for review of CM14.1 on youtube. please update me if there is other bugs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCYT1K424So
until now i have found following bugs.
- split screen video isnot working perfectly
- battery management force close
- update from phone isnot working

Cellular data won't work normally, you have to go to Sim Cards -> select a preferred sim for data

I really wouldn't say they are bugs... It is much more device related than rom related... For example, no one of the listed above happens to me and to many more people using this rom... Cellular data is working better than at cm13 for me actually, faster and more stable

My Titan doesn't have those problems..

But, why this is in Original Development Section?

me neither. at the opposite, my clock app force closes and there's no way to open it. i dirty flashed the 7.0 build over the 6.0, and the 7.1 over the 7.0 (updated then three times with different build releases) ,and i can say this is definetly the best build, no bug except for the clock( but that's just me cause of all the dirty flashing) and the battery life is incredible with the ambient display found here on the forum. at least that's what i'm experiencing

Everything is working perfectly..

CyanogenMod 10 M1

CyanogenMod 10 M1 is available
"We aren’t exactly sure what M stands for. “Monthly”, “milestone”, or perhaps “MINE ALL MINE!”. Whatever it is, I hope that we are meeting the needs of community.
M-Series builds will be available under the EXPERIMENTAL tag. The filename will include the date stamp as well as the M version. These builds should be stable enough for daily use, and we encourage feedback and bug reports."

There are ninghtly, firmware updated daily and therefore possibly unstable, but they develop stops ("freeze") and start the release candidate and finally reaches a stable ROM. This was more or less up to now the procedure for CyanogenMod, but now the team has announced a new feature: the monthly build.
As can be imagined firmware is released on a monthly basis, after a "soft freeze" of the code done in order to stabilize the code more than the daily nightly.
Dedicated to those who do not want to flash a ROM every other day and the next also, the monthly will be available at the beginning of each new month but initially cover only a subset of all devices supported by CyanogenMod. Specifically, the first release of the M-series
Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro)
VZW Galaxy Nexus (bull)
Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus)
Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G (i9100g)
Galaxy S (galaxysmtd)
Galaxy S B (galaxysbmtd)
Captivate (captivatemtd)
Sprint Galaxy S3 (d2spr)
VZW Galaxy S3 (d2vzw)
AT & T Galaxy S3 (d2att)
Galaxy S3 TMO (d2tmo)
Galaxy S3 U.S. Cellular (d2usc)
Nexus S (crespo)
Nexus S 4G (crespo4g)
Galaxy Note AT & T (quincyatt)
Google Nexus 7 (grouper)
Sony Xperia Acro S (hikari)
Sony Xperia S (nozomi)
This is not yet a final project in the sense that the team will decide on its continuation or not, depending on user feedback, because it is not logical to maintain something of little use.
Finaly i'm come back to CM, my favourite rom.
flashed on my nexus s gsm 4h ago.
Until now:
No bugs
All works
Fast
Tnx to CM
P.S: If someone have trouble with apps installation with playstore... clear data of PlayStore and Google Framework in App Menu.

Carlito, is it faster than stock 4.1.1? I flashed Matr1x and I was delighted with the speed and performance but battery was drained too quickly. Is this rom that fast?
Now i have nightly [cm-10-20120908-NIGHTLY-crespo.zip ], and there are many errors ;/

No need full wipe for me, I flash over NIGHTLY-20120909. everything work and very smooth.
Just wipe cache partition and then flash M1.
does this support adhoc like cm9?
does this support adhoc like cm9? plz answer
Unfortunately, cm 10, nightlies or M versions seems to be much slower than cm9.1. I hope it becomes lagless one day, just as cm9. It was sluggish at the beggining, now it's awesome at speed, responsiveness and usage. Hope it's gonna be just the same with cm10.

I don't know about the current nightly but the "M1" version is awfully slow in comparison with Paranoid Android 2.0. I have even tried it with Air kernel (+65fps) which is one of the fastest kernels and Matr1x. I returned to PA 2.0.
I don't think that there is a serious reason for a monthly version. Nightly versions are very reliable in my experience...someone just have to choose his own "frequency of updating"...
I hope that we are not many "Ms" away from the RC or stable release! They'll have to speed up that ROM though.
wow thanks :thumbup:,
installed on my i9023 and work fine!

which kernel do you recommend for save the battery life?

I think something that many people forget is that not all phones are lucky enough to have AOSP support. I only have my Nexus S but I imagine that CM10 is not bugless and magical for all the devices it's built for.
M1
It's ready to daily use.. until now no problems, thanks a lot.
Been using this with the stock kernel and very impressed. 2hours 30 min screen time and still 52 % battery left. Only lost 8% over night with WiFi enabled. Best I've seen JB do since it appeared.

Agreed - same for me as well. Seems to be much more lag when connected to mobile data as opposed to wifi for some reason.

This is exactly how i feel about CM10 at the moment too!
Just needs more time to mature!
Gave it a go, still sluggish. Back to AOSP.
Cm10 with bedalus 4.5 gives me battery life similar, if not better to ICS and GB (which is very good!)

Mokee OpenSource ROM

I've not seen this ROM mentioned for Moto X before... but here it is:
http://download.mokeedev.com/?device=moto_msm8960dt
Details about this ROM:
MoKee OpenSource is based on the Google AOSP. We update our source code frequently to keep up with the latest development, and not forgetting to merge in special features of our own at the same time.
A small group of people from around the world who are interested in Android launched this project on the 12th of December 2012, and is committed to make this ROM better and better. Like most contributors of open source projects (Omni, CyanogenMod, Slim AOSPA etc), we are doing all these in our free time as our passion...
Since this project is open source, anyone interested can participate in the development (maintain new devices, contribute code etc). Newcomers are always welcomed!
Read here for developer application: http://www.mfunz.com/en/developer-application, you can host your unofficial MoKee builds on our server!
Some benefits of Mokee:
Phone & Messaging
Quick contacts look up, speed dialing, caller location and other useful features
Colorful Themes
Unleash the creative side of you, customize how your phone looks; make it cool, make it colorful!
Smart Controls
Increase your productivity with Active Display, Lockscreen Notifications and other shortcuts
Power Saver
With our unique battery saving strategies, get the most out of your phone's battery
Snippet from a review at techgeekal.com
"Some would accuse me of wrongly placing mokee OS above giants like PA and CM. But I shall give you the reasons why I have done that. First and foremost this ROM has all of the features the above mentioned CM11 has like dual SIM compatibility and being absolutely bug less. But it comes with the added incentive of a number of other features that CM lacks. Things like Multi Windows, List view animations, Halo, Active display including various others are not found in CM natively but in Mokee OS these work absolutely perfectly. Now some may even say that PAC and Carbon too have some of these features, but they lack dual SIM support which is why this is currently the ROM to beat. Its got everything you can ask for, from features to stability. And they are constantly adding new features which makes it even better."
I'm going to flash it now, and will post my opinion shortly...
First impressions:
1) Buttery smooth, polished and snappy; CM11-type setup process. Some native Chinese options appear right off (not of interest to me, but I wanted to mention that it was easy to select English as the default...)
2) I'm using an XT1060 Verizon Moto X. And while the ROM states it's for the msm8960dt, I waited several (uncomfortable) minutes on first launch before it detected a cell signal. All seems fine now. Strength is on par with CM11 4.4.4. I haven't used the ROM long enough to know if Mokee shares the same problems as CM11...
3) Really nice OTA interface, with frequency choices as to how often it checks for new versions to update.
4) The ROM throws up the error that ART is not officially supported, but you can easily select it in Settings/Developer Options and reboot. If you haven't done this before, I was quickly reminded that it takes FOREVER to convert all of your apps to ART...
5) Supports Cyanogenmod Themes - nice touch. I love the Flux theme (all but their icons - I substitute Velur).
6) I seem to be able to scroll up and down pages with this ROM faster than any other I've used before. Render time is incredible.
More soon...
And about 1080p back câmera record?
1080p option...though they must have their labeling backwards...that should be for "rear camera"...

I used PA 4.4.4 gapps and it is working beautifully.
A little lag here and there but not a deal-breaker.
Now I just need to test gps and if it has no issues, this will be my daily driver for now.

I used PA Gapps, and google keyboard force closed. Then wipe data and cache, then install rom, and doesn't install gapps, and reboot to rom. And the rom contains gapps. Hmmm...
I used PA 4.4.4 gapps also. I don't stay with other ROMs too long, as Verizon seems to really be sensitive with signals when I'm not on stock... so I didn't get to test the Active Display function. Either way, Floatify, DynamicNotifications, and NotifierPro are all great solutions for any ROM. I did notice lockscreen notification swipe panes on Mokee were functioning and nice though.
A few very minor issues with a couple of apps...I couldn't get BackDrop Root Pro, for example, to recognize that BusyBox was indeed installed.
I would likely have kept it if it weren't for the signal.
PS - I cant recall exactly where, but I believe if you install the ROM and then go to Settings / Mokee Center / Extras, you will see that the ROM will allow you to download and install gapps right from there...

I am using the release version of Mookie, not the nightly build, with pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20140629-signed.
I did a complete wipe including system folder.
So far I have two single issues after using this rom all day and they are minimal.
1. I had a f/c when I received my first call after installing the rom. The issue has not repeated itself after several incoming calls.
2. Btooth does not seem to be sending music data to my car stereo, which usually displays music information.
These two issues are all that I've had after a full day of use.
A couple of things.
Battery life is good. Seems a little bit better even, compared to stock, at least fot me. Still the best battery life I have had so far is with Krypton.
I used the camera, gps, bluetooth, wifi, wired and wireless headstes and had absolutely zero issues.
Call quality is good, as well as volume. There are no speakerphone issues. Gps locks very fast and stays locked.
CM11 themes work perfectly. And camera seems to be working fine.
I love the little touches added to the rom.
All in all, I say this is superb, and for a new rom, it feels like it is ready for prime time.
ROM is running very smooth without any issues...using gapps 6.30.2014 with an unlocked, non Dev, VZW Moto X. The theming is very nice too....

Translation has been corrected on yesterdays release, it now displays front and rear cameras correct resolution.
But rear facing camera has been limited to 320x240. It is the front facing camera that can record up to 1080p.
Photo resolution seems to be ok.
Battery usage looks higher now, on last release.
Im gonna try this, thanks!!
Doh! After updating to 7/12 I'm having signal and GPS issues.
Going back to previous version to see if it is resolved.

Because the developer is not here....there's no kernel source code linked....there's a very specific set of rules/guidelines for posting a rom in the development section.

Which Custom ROM are you using and why?

Hi All,
Since acquiring MXP back in Oct 2015, I have stayed away from rooting and flashing custom ROM (something which I did from day one on my Samsung Google Nexus) because I was more or less happy with the out of the box behavior.
But now MXP on Marshmellow has become kind of slow and ofcourse Nougat roadmap is still not clear (whether it will at all come in May).
So now I want to join the wagon.
So it would be immensely helpful if you can mention which custom ROM you are using as daily driver and why sticking to it?
My criteria is primarily smooth performance and decent battery (now it doesnt last 12 hours on full charge).
Thanks in advance
Roy
I tried almost every Nougat rom (Tesla, CM, RR, AOSiP, AOSP Extended) and finally been using AOSP Extended. I feel this is the most stable and smooth one out there. I use Greenify & GlassFish script and easily get over 30-40 hours on a single charge. I don't play any games on my phone, just some web browsing, music, whatsapp etc. It has almost all the customization available too.
Just like you I was sticking to stock
Now after the N delay, tested a few custom roms. From my experience, also in gaming, Aosip with Optimus Kernel and GlassfishCP-Optimus script have the best performance, does not overheat and has near stock battery life.
Instead of Greenify (that's behaving weird and sometimes causing wakelocks) I'd recommend Servicely.
Still not tested but also CypherOS should be worth a test run. It seems like the most stable and lighter rom on paper!
all nougat roms have camera bug,,d camera focus is not so good
using RR M v5.7.4 + coffee kernel v2.2 + xposed +SuperSU v2.79 +SonyMusicSSE ViPER 2505 DolbyAtmos Sony Beats +Busybox 1.26.2 +MusicFX Installer and AudioFX Remover +Moto g4 Camera v6.0.20.6.

Thanks all for your replies - sorry for replying late here.
I have seen Moto G4 Plus camera and I am not too happy with its focus.
Is the same camera app used in Nougat roms as well?
I hope and guess the MXP moto camera app would still work - right?
Thanks again!
i am going to change my stock rom, which custom rom should i choose?
Hello all,
I have been using this ROM with Optimis r20 kernel and latest GlassfishCP script since last 4 days.
This is my first custom ROM in MXP, so I must congratulate the devs who have made this usable as daily driver.
Mostly has been running fine with two odd reboots from Recent screen.
-------------------------------------------- Problem below is fixed ------------------------------
One odd observation-FB is unable to get updates, even within app when in mobile data mode. Works perfectly fine with Wifi. Otherwise mobile data works fine and other social apps work fine in mobile data mode. Any guidance if this makes sense, would help.
--------------------------------------------------- Solution by @manddar --------------------------------
This happened to me as well on almost all ROMs, in my case mms internet access point was setup instead of one which is required for internet, www to be exact for Vodafone India.
Try to switch it and you will be good to go. Alternate method is to remove proxy from access point.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My one of the most important criteria was battery life which has not improved till now. I would still reserve my view on that as it's been only 4 days.
Camera focussing has also been same as before in stock MXP using stock Moto camera app(not g4).
Cheers
Roy.
I primarily use RR as my daily driver. Mainly because it has the most features out of all roms. I like having as much customization options as possible. Battery life is pretty good for me, and the rom is stable and performs quite well.
My second choice would be either AOSP Extended or AOSIP. Both have a lot features as well, and they're very smooth and have excellent battery life.
I don't use any mods or custom kernels.

I don't see such an issue. Maybe you have some hardware issue or a scratched lens. What ROMs did you try?
Any one facing issue with quick charge? It stopped working on my phone
AOSCP because:
-Pixel style;
-Same battery life as stock;
-No bugs whatsoever
I'm on aokp rom since early January and it has been my daily driver ever since. No sudden reboot, no app crashes, everything works fine, bluetooth, gps, moto camera, google camera (I use it only for lens blur effect). maybe someday I'll try the aoscp or the aicp roms.

[Discussion] Zuk Z2 Plus - most stable / least buggy ROM for regular use

Fellow Z2 Plus users,
We have always seen discussion about best rom..with features x,y,z etc etc. Now when one says best, which is quite subjective depending upon user, mostly focus is around all the features/customizations of the world and not to mention best battery, best performance and what not.
Here I am flipping the question and seek feedback & suggestions from fellow Zuk Z2 users on the ROMs which they find :
1) Least buggy - given some bugs will be always there
2) Stable - suitable for daily use with no surprises
3) Battery Optimized for performance but with priority being battery
4) Suitable for Daily Regular Use - wallets, bank apps, sync, 4G / wifi, good photos
So while the suggested ROM might not have few missing features (like ViLTE) and might have only limited customizations, but it remains overall robust and stable enough to be used regularly for next few months.
I agree that regular updates are good to have but then with development moving to P soon, the current build of suggested ROM should be such that without updates it should work fine
Request if fellow users can suggest their preferred ROM(s) on above criteria with at least minimum details of ROM like name, version and the build.
If further details can be provided like what is missing (say ViLTE etc) it will be wonderful for others! Thanks in advance to all for their feedback.
Sorry if this is a repeat but think at this juncture when the transition is about to happen to Android P we should have a list of stable roms handy.
EDIT 16th July 2020 :
It is close to 2 years since thread was started and discussions are still ON thanks to loyal users. Also if I may say, part credit also goes to phone's good build quality that it is still worth using for many
When this thread was started, we were in initial days of developers transitioning from Oreo to Pie ROM and today, we already have loads of Q ROMs.
Having said that, general preference, if we need a stable balanced ROM is to continue on Pie ROMs versus Q ROMs - no surprises here !!

I had to use Activity launcher app for that meny because its hidden on miui 11 lol. If u also need that app, type in search network then find under settings - MORE. There u will find option.
Im glad u r happy with your device mate... I was considering Realme 6 Pro but I didnt like that 2 cameras in left corner. I like to see notifications there . So i decided to go with Xiaomi
Also here, it is the same, miui is heavy but apps stay in memory mostly, 6 gb LPDDR4X RAM, 64 GB UFS Storage 2.1. I couldnt find 128 GB model but i dont need it anyway, I would have buy it just because small difference in price. Cameras are real upgrade over Zuk, I also installed Gcam. Amoled is nice also.

Thank you for the work around.. I tried the non root method in adaway but wasnt that good.. changing DNS works much better.. I even updated this in my router..
I also don't like hole punch.. water drop notch is ok..
Hope all cameras are able to use GCam..
Your trick for miui worked as well.. Thank you again for that.
Stay safe and keep modding
Feedbacks Summarized
Thanks to all for sharing feedbacks/experiences. I am summarizing below, with focus on Oreo ROMs!.
EDIT 16th July 2020 : in last 2 years, we have also seen good development in terms of Pie & Q ROMs. So now we have some recommendations on stable and good for daily use Pie ROMs too
OREO ROMs (update basis discussions till Nov'18)
Resurrection Remix RR 6.2.1 Oreo is considered good by most - received feedbacks from @seking @Thisisaarush @Z750z @NaXal
One open issue: No auto call record
It has loads of Customizations, the final build released updated with Oct'18 security patches.
MIUI 10 ROM seems to be a good choice too as per feedback from @sivaramareddy @sidS6
It is stable and has good battery life
AEX 5.7 Oreo seems quite good as per feedback from @Vishwanath01 @sivaramareddy @suvankar.smart
They have not shared much details but what I see is that v5.7 is recommended by all even when the latest is v5.8. This ROM not updated after Aug'18
Download from versions availablehere
Jaguar Oreo is recommended as per feedback from @sanjay.2704 @seking @mGforCe
There seems to be battery issue/lag after couple of weeks of use. But with the entirely rebased ROM released, there are lot of hopes. Finally VoLTE working too - was broken since June build.
Hopefully the battery issue is resolved after few builds of the Rebase ROM. Having said that - this ROM is worth watching for!! The best thing is that dev is updating atleast once a month. With issues being reported, he updated within few weeks too!!
Pls note that have considered only those comments which had some level of details. Also there were more recommendations but since supported by only 1 user not included in the summary.
PIE ROMs (update basis discussions till Jun'20)
[Official - k4.4 // Beta - k4.9] AOSiP Pie is considered good by many and am @mGforCe using for last few months.
One open issue: Think Miracast doesn't work. The final build released has Sep'19 security patches. Link here
[ROM][9.0][TREBLE] SuperiorOS is also recommended one and we have @vuckovic_stefan using in on and off (when not trying other ROMs )
The final official build released has Oct'19 security patches. Link here

Bootleggers and Cardinal lastest. I have no idea about Volte because we don't have it here.
AOSP Extended 5.7 latest
Aosip rom is a clear winner, It's the best in every sector.. !
For me, as of now... Latest AEX 5.7 seems pretty stable and Recently I have tried one ROM that totally amazed me.... MIUI 10 ROM. It's very stable, considerably less heat with great performance and great battery life (6.5 -7 hrs SOT with Normal to Medium usage which include Browsing, Streaming, Instant Messaging etc). Coming to Gaming especially PUBG is a lot less laggy when compared to other ROM's when played with HD settings.
So, apart from the latest AOSP Extended(AEX) 5.7, I would recommend to try the latest MIUI 10 ROM too...
Thanks for sharing feedback

Thanks for sharing feedback. AEX 5.7 (8.1.0) noted. As discussed, any known issue here as per your experience?
MIUI 10 ROM - hmm, interesting. For my own Redmi Note 3 always moved out from MIUI to AOSP / LOS roms . Will be interesting to try. Again, for completeness, any issues/bugs noted/known here?
Between MIUI / AEX which will be one you choose?

Thanks for sharing feedback. So you mean Android Open Source Illusion Project (8.1.0) - AOSIP right?
Any bugs/issues noted here? Or all perfectly working. It will be helpful to note of even 1-2 small issues to have right feedback.
Bump, request users to pls give feedback

Reserruction Remix ,,,==> the best and most stable from all other roms ,,,???

Reserruction Remix os, the best and most stable rom from all,,,,???
Having a blast with #oxicOs since Viper and dot died
Enviado do meu Z2 Plus através do Tapatalk
Hello,
Most of the ROMs here are pretty stable as daily driver. Some are little better with some aspect of usage, like for example, in general, non treble ROMs better with heavy games like PubG compare to Treble. Now that doesn't mean treble ROMs suck with PubG, its just marginally lower grfx details for smoother playing exp.
Ever since introduction of treble, for last few months, I have been only with treble, so I can only comment on Treble ROMs. I have tried PE, AEX, AiCP, RR (Treble), crDroid and let me tell you all are equally good. However, having said that, few lose their edge time to time with some random update and it happens with all. So as an user, you will find your self switching between few time to time.
All these ROMs easily offer 6 hours 30 mins or more SoT for daily use (except heavy gaming). Game on them and SoT will come down based on how hard you are playing. Usually for heavy gamer, SoT is around 4 hours or bit less. All these ROMs have everything function, from finger print to Bluetooth.
At present, I am with RR 6.1. Switched from AiCP since at this point, for few previously weekly, AiCP is having some performance issue. Not that its slow, but RR feels little better compare to AiCP. Who knows, may be with next weekly, AiCP may out perform anything else.
Biggest point is, thanks to all these hardworking devs, I am spoiled with choices. So many of them. All are equally good but with some many options, I am spoiled to write comparison even for these slightest issues.
So its really hard or would be unfair to name single ROM to sum up the answer !!
Thanks.

Consider me a typical dumbass phone user. I strive for a functional device which allows me fast performance and all features should work fine. I don't like poking with things unless they are broken as like your question, I am looking for stability and I am willing to sacrifice bit of performance edge for that.
Now regarding improvement, what to compare with is the biggest question. If you want to compare this with Stock Indian ZUI 2.5 (Indian), its a heaven and hell of a difference !! But if you talk about other contemporary ROMs, there isn't much to separate them. It would come down to your personal choice of flavor .
Consider this buying a litter class super bike or super car in India. Anything you buy would be light years ahead of what average Joe is riding but when you want to chose between similar option, it would ultimately come down to personal preference !!
Regarding my setup, I am with the latest Version of RR 6.1 Treble (without any extra mod or kernel) + Open GApps Nano. Running Apex Launcher v3.3.3 along with Pixel Icon Pack (from Play Store). I have mentioned my issues or liking in that respective thread !!
Thanks.
Latest toxycOs.... 3.0

I am using Liquid Remix [8.1] [v9.1.4] [OFFICIAL] [08/10/2018][NON-TREBLE]
I listen to music and after installing viperfx magix module and modded you tube my requirement is met. Along with this I also use on application called "The Raging Beast KA" , see screenshot, which allows kernel level tweaking of sound ie increasing sound of left channel and right channel separately and it gives excellent sound. I also require volte as I use jio sim and net speed should be fast.
So the above are my requirements and everybody has their own requirements. All ROMs stable. But they differ on the following
1 heat. Some ROMs heat up
2 performance.
3 tweaks. Some ROMs contain more tweaks
4 volte. Some ROMs will not have volte
Installing ROMs are individual preferences and all ROMs are stable.

Guys,
Thanks for the feedback earlier. Bumping old thread to see if any update / revision in choices basis past 2-3 months?
Now that we have more or less final version of Oreo (though fortunately, some O ROMs are still getting security updates), the options are not likely to change further.
So far, have been using Jaguar Aug'18 build - worked quite well but in last few weeks seeing 10-12% battery drain overnight. Today am going to flash Oct'18 build to see if any changes.
CrDroiD is Best
i have used all oreo except RR..
I find CrDroid the best Rom of all times.
no issues at all.. be it SOT.. consistent 7-7.5 hours with moderate usage.. BT music play for 2-3 hours daily, phone calls for hour or so 1 hour of game play A8 & tekken.. all banking apps running including Tez..
Tons of customization. Built in adaway as well .. i dont think any feature is missing in this Rom. except 2.
1. Pocket detection - causes many failed FP.
2. auto call record - call record is present but u have to enable it in each call.
if some one with rom build knowledge can include this and update security patches then this would be a complete rom.
planning to try RR as dotos is giving very low SOT.. staying on that coz it has auto call record and pocket detect.

June 2020 Daily Driver suggestions

Can anyone recommend a good lightweight stable daily driver right now ? I don't need much in the way to extra features, I've gone through a few roms lately and either get instabilities or sluggish performance after a couple weeks, just looking to run something fast and stable for the summer. Thanks
I have already tried many roms, from Android 8.1 to 10 and I think that the most stable and functional rom is Oreo AospExtended ROM V5.8 (by [email protected]). In combination with Pico GApps and Ethereal Kernel you can get smooth and reliable smartphone. Mido is old and not fast enought so there is no point to installing something heavier.
ROM's with 4.9 kernel look stable and very smooth.

Thanks I was thinking about going back to 8.1 anyway I've found the 10 roms kinda sluggish in comparison so far.
Using Aosip 10.0 for about 2 weeks now and can't complain.
lineage unofficial smooth as silk, thas the 10
Latest Pixel Experience Official for me, not the plus edition.
Reliable for my daily use.
It depends tho but i still recommend it, latest Pie version also rock stable but i like systemwide dark theme for my eyes ?
AEX 6.3 Pie Official For me. Cant even find a single bug. Amazing battery with franco kernel. No complains at all. Perfect GCAM. What else do you want in life

Does AOSiP has the LTE issue solved. That is the bug I have seen in majority of the Android 10 ROMs. I tried Havoc 3.6 - it was pretty great too, but due to this bug only I had to rollback to Pie.

When I put my 4g volte Sim in slot 1, I can use mobile data perfectly but cannot make or receive calls. Call gets ended immediately when I try to make one. When I put my Sim in slot 2, then calls and sms work fine but data connectivity does not seem to work. Play store shows download pending for infinity.
And after you turn aeroplane on and then off, network won't work at all.
I have experienced this issue in havoc 3.6 and lineage 17 roms. And others are reporting that other android 10 custom roms have same issues.

I only have 1 sim card which is always in slot 1. Mobile data and calls (including volte) work.
Playstore is also fine. Apps start installing immediately
Make sure to flash the lastest firmware (I use global stable) before flashing the rom

Thanks for reply. But I already have latest firmware global stable 11.0.2.
I will try AOSiP rom soon to check.
At the moment I am using Zeelog's pure LineageOS 17.1 with 3.18 kernel. For this I install the underground kernel. So far Zeelog updates regularly and I can say for my applications it runs very well and also the battery life is very good with this combination.

Does someone have a fix to this? I have started experiencing this since the July patch on my PixelExperience as well. No data on slot 1 and no calls on slot 2. I am on Airtel.
