What do you think the best rom for the moto g4 plus is in terms of battery life and performance. And which rom would give the best battery life for a light user
I tried most of them, and I think stock is best.
I have my setup with magisk: systemless xposed and superuser.
using vanir, that or stock best for me.
RR 5.8.0 is very good in battery life out of the box, I'm using it for 5-7 sot for nearly 2 days(no gaming, no stream,Bluetooth, WiFi, flight mode over night)
For the simplest experience, don't look away from Stock.
Or you can go with RR 5.8.0. That's an awesome ROM for customization freaks.
I tried a few, but Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 is best so far.
Good battery life, rooted out-of-the-box, all features I tried actually worked.
I have a canadian 1641, retail, and have NOT upgraded my modem to the N version yet.
For me the rom has been xenon hd it's great has reasonable battery life around 5 hrs sot and it is smooth AF.
Stock ROM here. Stable, no issues. Systemless rooted SuperSU, added XtremeMusic mod and Dolby Atmos (same thread).

Im also using vanir but after upgrading to latest build battery draining fast.. any idea why this happening..?
Stock, Xposed, and maybe custom Kernel
I agree with stock. A little tweaking and stock is hard to beat.
Of you want a stable daily driver then stock can't be beat. Rooted makes it even better. Tried all the roms and they aren't good enough for daily drivers for me. Until an official rom, PAC was and has always been the second best to stock in my opinion.
I tried XPerience and Resurrection Remix, both for about a week, but I returned to rooted stock with ElementX kernel. That is the most stable setup I have found so far. Best battery life too.
Resurrection Remix hands down, been on it since the day it got released. Yes, it is a feature rich ROM and can let you customize in innumerable ways, and yet won't cost you in terms of performance and battery life.
Motor G4+ has official status to its RR ROM which means support from the Xda thread and RR devs as well.
Having tried quite a few Nougat ROMs on the Moto G4+ forum, can vouch for RR's stability. How about not having a single freeze, boot loop or auto restart since past two weeks I've been on it?
You can check its support thread, you'd have to look hard for reported bugs. In all the years of using custom ROMs, this ought to be one of the rare cases.
And it comes prebaked with kernel based on ElementalX, which means you get not only the kernel but can also tweak and optimize it with EX Kernel Manager, just as you'd do on stock.
As for the battery, I'm getting between 6 and 6.5 hours SOT with moderate - heavy use (streaming Spotify over VPN included)
Also, Xposed for Nougat is still nowhere in sight, which means having to wait still longer for the mods to be updated for 7.0 and 7.1. So, having a highly functional and feature rich ROM that can offer at least some of the functionality and customization of Xposed mods, is where RR wins over other custom ROMs.
Here's my current configuration on my XT1643:
RR 5.8.0 + SuperSU 2.78SR5 + ARISE Deuteronomy alpha with Dolby Atmos add on + Patched Adfree background playback YouTube + NoChromo adfree browser + Greenify Donation (sucks without xposed but nevermind)
Though I've not tried, but users confirm running (some) Substratum themes as well.
Future updates should get CMTE support as well, just in case.
I guess there's still lot more customization that can be done along with finding patched/alternative apps that Xposed mods would take care of other wise.
And yes, MotoG4+ is now officially supported for dualboot patcher, meaning you can boot into different ROMs which significantly expands scope of how you can use your device.
Lastly, all that's mentioned above is from Xda itself which means not only can you trust what you're doing to your phone, in case you do screw up you'd still have good chance to salvage yourself.

Id say stock with your criteria. I have only tried several versions of CM 14.1 myself but if I remember correctly the battery felt as if it was lasting longer on stock 6.0. The experience after dealing with several reflashes and getting used to that process is a bit hard but the system I use now feels allot faster. I can only guess that the better performance comes at the cost of battery usage.

I guess you did not read, search and you're also rude. That's not the way you should request something on XDA.
Did you ever installed a custom rom? If not, please take your time and learn basics BEFORE going further with installing ressurection remix. Otherwise you will run into big trouble.
Ok sorry for that..?

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.
Hi guys,
Thanks very simple I just wanna know what do you think about roms.
My data:
Rom: Stock 6.0.1
Why?: Because I think it's the best in terms of performance
LineageOS. I like it because of its stability and fast updates. It's very close to stock with no unnecessary add-ons.
Latest stock because battery life, smoothness and picture quality.
I just got a used G4 XT1625. I'm staying with stock Nougat until Lineage 15.0 is stable. It works fine for my needs. I used LOS 14.1 on my G3 and that was fine too.
InvictaOS is best in my opinion.
Currently on : 7.1.2 but, soon to be Oreo, may be in a day or two.
Stable, one of the best performing, eduqate amount of features, and fast updates!!
Its all about the personal Choice! 1st of all understand what do you need! Stock or Custom!
The best custom ROM, out of the ROMs which I have tried is Invicta... The beta version of O is out already so you can try that, and it is being updated every week (Almost! Great Dev we have!)
If you want stock, you should use 7.0 with Vegito kernel! It is very stable and gives you good battery backup! Now nothing can match stock, but it does miss out on features so once u have Vegito, u can root via magisk (its my personal choice) or any other, and then install Xposed which is now out Officially and works perfectly with stock. Adds a lot of features and good thing? You can always take stock OTAs as they come along! (you can even try systemless Xposed, I am not sure it will work or not, but it is available)
So its your choice! I have tried both of them and works perfectly! I stay on custom ROM since, it gives me one of the most imp feature that is notification LED, And more ! So, its your personal choice!
Hope this helps!
Same here Stock 6.0.1 with xposed and supersu
InvictaOS because @Silesh.Nair is an awesome developer and I really trust his judgment on what he finds best to put in a rom. And it's stable with features of my liking.
Anyone know which is better for the moto g4 the pixel experience or resurrection remix thanks

It's really more of a personal choice. Try them both out and see which one you like more.
I'm on AICP 64-bit.
Ty ragarianok I'm looking for something to use as a daily driver and I've heard mixed reviews on 64 bit saying its not as good as 32 on our device

Pixel experience has almost no customization options while resurection remix has hundreds(compared). That's the first question you should ask yourself: do I want less or more?
For those who tested both version of custom roms, what u guys liked and did not liked?
i'm new here and i already tested invicta, rr, viper and aex (aex is the best so far). i will test some mm custom roms for now

I believe Nougat ROMs will be better than Marshmallow ROMs.
Just one reason, time gap between release of G4/G4+ and Nougat is nearly 3 months (so development period will be less than 3 months), when actual development of custom ROMs was started, little after Nougat was announced. So developers haven't got enough time for development of MM. There will be device specific bugs.
I have tried OrionOS, it was fine!

I had tried invicta, rr, aosp extended, viper, aex too, then vanadium, telsa, los. I preferred rr for its customization capability and los for stability. Aosp for simplicity but los is there.
All i had tried were nougat based, and i was not liking mm as there were no significant update in there after lollipop (a major one).
Specific to Moto G4+, the device was introduced at a time when Nougat was nearing official release, so custom ROM development for Athene obviously started with MM - the version phones were shipped out with. Within a few months (Nov 2016 ish) Nougat overtook as the preferred Android version for both devs and users, across LOS and AOSP based roms. This was mainly due to Nougat offering considerable improvement over MM, which just as the last post points out, was merely a refinement of Lollipop.
IME, those who stuck with MM were mostly ones who couldn't do without Xposed, or prolly were ones who cautiously waited for an official firmware upgrade by Lenovo.
Based on my own experience, I find RR N to be far superior than RR M, in terms of performance and stability both. The fact that customization options which lie at core of RR didn't change much over the two Android versions should further point to why N is preferable over MM.
Invicta's fate sadly hangs in uncertainty and that is a huge loss given SileshNair consistently worked to get us stock-rom level stability and robustness on super feature rich ROMs.
Unless you're particular about being on the latest Android version, currently the best combination would be RR N whose recent version come shipped with Spectrum to let you choose the gov profile of your choice. Or you can go step further and get flar2's legendary ElementalX to tweak your phone all the way up! Plus with official Xposed N and rapidly updated stable mods , you can have best of all worlds - performance, features, battery life and functionality.
Tho I did switch over to Invicta Oreo a fortnight ago, I can still vouch for RR N + ElementalX + xposed (with greenify, amplify, xposed edge et al) combo to be most rewarding.
Hi, everyone, I recently put Pixel Experience on this device and I'm not totally satisfied with the experience in battery life. Anyone who has another custom ROM installed in this device, which one you recommend me? Should I change the kernel? Or go back to stock? I'm interested on RR Oreo or Firehound.
Thanks in advance.
Honestly, I've been a ROMer for a long time now and in my opinion, ROMs just aren't as good as were before. I used Pixel Experience on my G5 Plus and a boatload of ROMs on my G4 Plus but the stock ROM works just fine. Sure, it may not be the latest version of Android and it may not have customization but it's stable, reliable, and passes SafetyNet. I use Material Notification and a custom launcher and I got all the customization I need. This is just my opinion, you don't have to revert back to stock, but if it were me, I would.
RR-O is really good, passes safetynet completely, and is stable, with no bugs for me so far, except for haptic feedback cutting out occasionally.
Flash Alize kernel. I am using it with PE and battery life is very satisfying.

I have the same opinion now days... I don't even unlock or root anymore, just stock ROM. A few ADB commands to enable advanced reporting in GSAM, Nova Launcher, and a few widgets and configuration changes and I am good with it.
The good old days of romming in Gingerbread, ICS, JB, and KK started dying in Lollipop... and Marshmallow and Nougat finally put an end to it being being bug-free and practical in my opinion. Romming is for people who don't *need* their phone to work 100%, hobbyists, seconds phones, etc.
Don't get me wrong, the developers are great and do their best, heck, I have worked on several ROMs and kernel teams over the years, and it's FUN... but it isn't what it used to be. :/
I'm currently using AOSIP with Alize kernel, it's very stable and battery saving
If you don't care that much about getting updates every now and then( it hasn't recently), and that it does not have all the custmomizations of other Oreo ROMs, AOSIP is a good option, I think.
Stock Rom Is the Best Rom
Its been a long time since I've flashed anything on my pure ( I think it's on a slightly tweaked stock marshmallow rom now), and looking around I can't seem to find a recommended rom.
What would you all suggest as the current most stable and fully functional roms and tweaks that I should be looking for?

I recommend updating to stock nougat and flashing the system with SuperSu for root. It's the most stable rom and I get a solid four hours of battery life. Lineage OS has bugs with sound and the audio effects aren't as good. Also Lineage OS has a battery profile I figured out that Stock has one like that but it functions dynamically as the battery life drops the clock speeds automatically reduce and cores turn off but on Lineage based roms if you leave it on balanced it'll drain the battery faster but if you put it on power save you'll struggle with lag and get the same battery life as stock. If you take my advice I don't recommend changing anything in the kernel except the I/0 schedular I set mine to ROW instead of CFQ and apps open faster. Another thing with stock roms don't try changing the partition format in TWRP that'll make it bootloop some people like to set their cache to f2fs and Magisk causes bootloops that's another issue with stock.

They haven't released anything new for the pure/style since nougat, and old builds have been shuffled off their website. Look at the last few pages of this thread. Some users mirrored the last builds after the downloads disappeared. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-aicp-clark-xt1575-t3222868
My pure died a little over a year ago, but at that time aicp was the best rom. The newer custom roms all seem to have some camera issues. The builds of aicp that are available do require the marshmallow modem stack.
