Best ROMs according to users

As the title suggests, all the Moto x play users are invited to tell which ROMs they used and term as best.
The criteria is all you can choose from like fluidity, features, stability, battery life, etc
So start flashing new ROMs and keep posting in the thread.
Enjoy Flashaholics...

In my opinion Resurrection Remix has the best combination of features and it is very stable, but it could have better battery life and fluidity (I read that the next release will be more fluid)
CrDroid has the most commonly used features, it lacks some bells and whistles but it provides good battery life.

Using RR with squid's kernel, the device performs superbly, but yes, as @alresave mentioned, the battery life could be a little better.
Haven't used it personally, but for performance and battery life, I'd recommend you go for Tesla since its mostly AOSP and much more stable and fluid.

For me Cm13 with squid kernel

How is battery life vs stock for you? Also, does CM13 support ambient display?
I thought I saw temasek say his CM13 was tweaked to include it.
I just found out that the stock ROM doesn't support hotplugging, which I thought only had to do with the ROM. I'm wondering if I would get bettery battery life using CM13(due to hotplugging, mainly,) but also wondering if there are any noticeable hiccups still.

Cm13 does have ambient display - showing notifications, clock etc.
On stock with my setting - I don't used greenify and such apps i got about 6-7 SOT with a little below 40 h mark without charger. I am using CM13 with squid kernel for about 24h and needles to say the battery life will be a little worse due to changing kernel settings flashing CM13 nightly update etc . The kernel needs to be left alone for a few days to settle which gives best results. Latest 0407 nightly build with squid kernel 16b with interactive governor will give 5-6 SOT IMO.
To put the battery life in perspective - my friend has stock HTC Desire Eye and he has to charge it every day with medium usage and maybe 3 sot.
From the next nightly ota update i will be using cm13 without any extra kernel just to see how the basic kernel performs and that the basic battery life is

I am on Blisspop and man its got everything I need. It's stable and slick. Battery life has to be checked. Blisspop and RR are very similar in features they offer. Tried both of them.
The logo of RR is very slick and nice. Even the boot animation is really nice.

I miss SlimPIE. Some ROMs even say they have it but have PAPIE or CMPIE.

Gotta say the best rom was stock 5.1 but I found Tesla Rom to be stupid snappy regardless of kernel. Battery for whatever reason has been crap for me but most users in the thread report an amazing battery life. I've only had it for a day so I guess I'll let things settle and see if the rom does the trick after all.

I tried AICP and Bliss, and Bliss with ultra kernel r5 works fine!

If you want battery go with any slim based Rom's. That will be for battery- I tried orion- one bug each time I reboot data Sim got switched to primary slot.
Now I am sticking with Stock due to it's smart Sim feature.

I am on validus right now and it seems better than RR in terms of performance.

Tried Every ROM, But Stock Based ROM Marshmallux v2.0. Because Camera Performance & Battery is Great in Stock. Without Stock Other ROMs Camera Performance is Not Good.

In Which ROMS

Stock rom or a debloated stock rom like marshmallux or GtrCraft are my personal favorite's for smoothness and battery life.

Best battery friendly MM ROM?

Anyone has the most battery friendly combination of ROM and kernel? I've tried almost every MM ROM but doesn't satisfy me. I just bought a new battery recently for my D802 and still draining fast. Im using latest bumped twrp. I have never had an SOT of more than 4 hours of normal usage. Now I'm barely getting 3 hours sot and it sucks. So any tips will be appreciated thanks!

Hi,
the PA-Rom is very battery friendly.

I've tried that too. What kernel tweak you use and settings?

I should have mentioned that I have been using the Lambda Domino Stable kernel and the efficiency battery profile. I also use Greenify for doze on the go (aggressive doze).

I use PA with the original Kernel. Battery life is for me like Stock KitKat.

I once use beanstalk and the battery is really fine but when i changed ROM and install again Beanstalk battery was never the same. I don't know what went wrong. I've always used greenify.

Using PA with Lambda Hipnose Beta 9 kernel right now. Using lots of alarm/wakelock blocks etc with amplify and greenify. Battery life seems okay, but I'm asking myself if exodus, beanstalk or resurrection remix would do better? Did anyone try and can make a direct comparison? I care more about battery life than about performance tbh. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app

crdroid was great, with aggressive doze !

Currently on XOSP with latest lambda beta. Averaging 4hours SOT from 100 to drain. Basically lasts a day with minimal gaming and mostly web surfing, youtube and facebook. Performance kinda lags but tolerable.

This isn't a marshamallow ton but if you want best of both worlds trust me and try ice rom v5.9 final it's actually as some with the camera battery life evrything it's fluid. Trust me try it you won't regret it even though it's lolipop based
Otherwise if you really like marshmallow I really liked aokp but I'm sticking with the ice ton you can find it on 4dpa

EMUI vs CM 13

I want to hear the experiences you guys have with emui vs cm13.
At some points i always wonder if i should flash back to emui because of a few bugs and problems so i wanna hear a few experiences to see what you guys think about it.
- generally speaking i would love to hear what you like in comparision to the other
- how's your battery life, usage experience, how you think about the current bugs, etc.
- are you thinking to change rom to emui or to cm13 and why?

cm gives a more stock experience compared to emui, better battery life. unless youre going to update to emui 5, cm is better

With papsi ROM everything is fine by battery life is miserable with an outdoor brightness and mobile data on (only few hours).
Speedo; very descent battery life , zooming is fine but video recording is not, still buggy and finger print not working
Till now I think the best available firmware is stock but if speedo_thc managed to get his ROM as functioning as papsi's he will be the best daily driver for me.

papsi's isn't that bad on battery life for me. i get two days usage with constant bt connections and a few messengers push. you will have monitor wakelocks and stuff to optimize as much as possible though.
i am using
- amplify (no donate)
- greenify with xposed + root
but have 3 messengers, email and android wear on push at all times.

Cm notifications fixed emui not

cm's will always break after few months of heavy using, stock wont. sure cm has more customizeable tweaks and in some cases better battery life (never in my cases). evey device i have tried cm it always starts randomly rebooting, lagging and eats battery like hell(hahe had this issue with multiple devices). i prefer stock base and then rethemed to whatever you choose.

Currently, no custom rom is stable enough for daily use. I still love the EMUI camera and the finger print gestures. I will stick with EMUI 4 for now hopefully until custom roms are more stable and fully functional.

I've used papsi's rom for a few weeks as a daily. So far the only downside to me, is the battery life compared to stock emui.

Papsi's cm13 is better than stock EMUI on almost every points except the battery. I'm using his rom since he published it and it's pretty stable but the battery life can be a deal breaker. Some optimization would make the rom great for daily usage.

I agree with you, i would use his rom but the problems with the camera and battery life and the phone getting too hot when playing games or watching videos is what keeps me on EMUI since i never had issues with notifications.

Which is more stable, and best battery life?

Lineage OS, AOSP, or Stock Android?

I have no personal experience with Lineage but I was never a fan of Cyanogenmod and have read multiple posts that suggest it's pretty buggy. Stock will depend on which version of Android you are talking about. All versions of stock are pretty stable. Marshmallow is outdated but some people prefer it to Nougat because it gets better battery life than Nougat and works with Xposed. Nougat gets the latest features and security updates but for some reason Google has been pushing the default kernel settings very high recently so people have been experiencing poor battery life and the operating system itself eating up much more battery than in the past. AOSP would depend on the Rom you are running. I use Dirty Unicorns which is extremely stable and has better battery life than stock. Some Aosp Roms are more buggy and may provide better or worse battery life than stock depending on how they are programmed. There are also stock based Roms like Cortex, which adds Pixel features and gets the best battery life of any Rom I've been on. But the downside of a stock based Rom is that there is no OMS support for Substratum theming. My personal preference is for Dirty Unicorns but different people like different Roms.

I went to dirty unicorns and to me it's is faster than stock ROM cortex. I also like DU because it is oms and that is very important to me. Also having nav bar button customization is a plus. I would only jump back to stock if aosp takes to long to release

Stock is always most stable and allows for instant, effortless updates when available.
In terms of battery life, varies on your usage, I've had battery life that I would expect from a 3450 mAh phone.
You would see people buy a 6P and then start installing ROMs hours after and claim to get better/phenomenal battery life. Funny thing is that they have no idea what baseline is -_-

I went from Cortex to stock 7.1.2 for several days because I wanted to try stock again. The drop off in battery life was extremely noticable. People have also noted that on recent builds of stock if you look at the battery stats Android operating system and screen are eating up much more battery than they used to.

I didn't notice DU being any faster but I do like OMS support. There always seem to be problems with Substratum if you don't have it.

Bro, Chads uber obviously is the best. It is on clang 5.0.0 and is extremely fast and stable and I get up to 8 hours sot and weeks on standby. Also I built wakeblock for uber so I can block wakelocks to save even more battery.

Hello,
All ROMs should be stable. Stock is bloated, using a custom ROM helps getting ride of all the unnecessary stuff running in the background. Depending on your usage, battery life will fluctuate.
I only browse, send SMS/MMS, take pictures, videos and watch youtube with my phone. Mostly over WiFi. Don't have social network apps syncing in the background all the time. Yeah, i get 7 hours sot...
But, i guess the same with 3G/4G + Facebook + WhatsApp, etc... And I would be down to 3 hours sot obviously...
Don't let people decide for you which ROM is the best, because there is none. The best ROM is the one you like. These guys put a lot of time and effort to release their ROM. Some more than others, but still, saying this or this ROM is the best is kind of dumb and also insulting to other developers.
If there was a "best" ROM, the forum would only have one. Because everybody would use it. Or there is a best ROM and in this case those using the others are completely blind to see the truth?
Lol...
Check the forum and decide by yourself. Some are stock based, others aosp, lightweight or filled with a lot of options and customization.
Takes a few minutes to setup and if you don't like one, switch to another...
Happy flashing.
Cheers...

You can get 8 hrs SOT with any rom, including stock, given the proper usage.

Not really with sot. It depends highly on the rom and kernel.

G900F most battery friendly rom?

I dont care much about saving space, and from my experience debloating doesn't do much to the battery life. I'd like a stable rom with possibility of black theme. All I care about is decent speed and screen on time. As for kernel I'm open for anything. SmallWiz V8 UX seemed like a good fit, but fingerprint doesnt work and theming is not possible.
Maybe stock rom with assertive display, phoenix kernel and modded theme is enough?

If you want black/dark themes, you are limiting the possibilities by going with stock-based ROM. Resurrection Remix N may be a good candidate because it has theming support, good battery life (although less than stock) and is quite stable for daily use.
If you only care about battery life (and can give up some theming), (generic unbranded) stock official ROM is your best bet.

Surprised to hear that stock is supposed to be best. I had xXx rom before, but when I got my phone back from repair with stock rom and new battery there's less juice than on xXx. Regarding black theme, it's just about battery life, not about fancy theme.

Stock usually performs the best in SOT tests because it has better frequency scaling and is able to use samsung closed-source drivers that is unavailable to AOSP ROMs. Most problems with battery life arise from either carrier bloat, or the apps installed by the user. There may also be a chance where something else is the cause but only in rare-cases. Usually a factory reset can fix all of these problems, however it may not work for all.
With that last line in the original post, it is often thought that using stock kernel will yield the best battery and stability. It has been discussed throughly about the battery impact a custom kernel places, and whether or not undervolting makes a difference (where it usually will yield almost none).

Any rom that supports the Boeffla-Kernel

i'm using popwiz 5.1
