Where ROM to use now?

Now that Cataclysm ROM has been shut down where is everyone moving to? I've tried Pire Nexus and Resurrection ROMs but came back to Cataclysm. I'm at a loss right now.

Just curious, anyone know the reason why its gone?

Got tired of accusations of being unoriginal.

Ahh that's too bad

ubermallow+kylo is not bad.....they are not on xda but move to google+

Pure nexus or aosip

Whaaat ??
Got tired of accusations of being unorigina!?

Dirty Unicorn Test Builds + elementalX
AOSiP and AICP are 2 other great ROMs

Actually, if you want the kinds of mods that Cataclysm gave you, while remaining very close to stock, Chroma is probably what you're looking for. Only two small mods to the stock kernel and a handful of useful features (status/notification bar customization, advanced reboot/power menu, a few display tweaks, etc).

I switched to Dirty Unicorn and love it.

Actually liking screwd the best at the moment

Team Nocturnal SinLessROM is sweet! But there are othe good ones as well...

Benzo by far! If your looking for a feature rich rom, this is it. Not that the others aren't great also ...

Running screwd. Great ROM

I forgot about Chroma, maybe I'll give that a go. I just remember the Dev kind of being like Franco; a bit snooty.

I didn't have the 6. I've found it OK. My problem is I also like virtually a stock experience except I really like status bar customization, advanced power/reboot menu, and the Chroma dark theme is a nice touch. Not really interested in Layers or CMTE any more. Interestingly, I always liked the CM cLock module, but so far the weather component hasn't worked, so I ended up using Chronus. End of the day, now that the February security patch is out, I may just reflash stock with TWRP and root.

cm!

Need an advice in choosing a ROM.

Hi guys.
I've using the stock for about 5 months, but it's not as crist fast as my oneolus one.
I'm sure it's a ROM issue and I was thinking to switch to cyanogen. How do u like it and do you like other Roms as well?
Thanks.

PureNexus is the best I ever tried

Should be an issue from your side because my N6P is flying compared to my OPO.
Factory reset might solve the issue - backup first.

This might be due to something else cause OPO is not as smooth a stock 6P. Anyway, ID suggest you to try Pure Nexus, it's really smooth and has many features.

The stock rom is like butter and for sure is way better than my old OPO. Like the others mentioned you should try a factory reset, otherwise try the Purenexus rom, I'm on Purenexus with ElementalX kernel and its coup de grace is the Layers theme engine and customization! Hope this helps

I kicked out Cyanogen about a few years ago when I had the Nexus S. As the above users advised, PureNexus is currently the most-used ROM here, and pair it with your choice of kernel, and you will be good.
I have the OnePlus One too, and it's performance is nowhere near my 6P.
If you're looking for a lot of customizations, DirtyUnicorns or ResurrectionRemix would be great choice too.

Pure nexus, vanir comotio is good. Cyanogen is good. Dirty unicorns is the best. Its fast, perfect on battery, and has anything that exists. Dirty unicorns with their kernel, and I've ran every current ROM.

But I've heard that Cyanogen is still not well developed for this phone, is this true? or can it be used as a daily user ?

After enabling developer options, try reducing Windows Animation Scale and Transition Animation Scales

I may be in the minority but I prefer screwd ROM. The 4/8 milestone release is very smooth, fast, & stable. I was a long time RR user, but since "OK google" detection from the lock screen wasn't reliable Ive switched. I've tried a lot of 6p ROMs tho & pure nexus is a great, stable ROM. I didn't have the best luck with cyanogen, even tho for other devices its been one of my favorite. & some cyanogen based ROMs ive had some minor issues with. For reliability & stability I'd go pure nexus or screwd. For customization I'd go Resurrection Remix, but those are simply my personal preference. DU is also a great rom. Theres lots of ROMs to choose from. I like to try em a wide selection & then decide. Afterall what's the point of having a nexus device if you're going to leave it stock. I guess for me thats any device tho.

Pure nexus rom for sure
I have been using it since I bought my 6p

[REQUEST] Can anyone port EMUI for our device?

It has really good themes. If this isn't the right section for request, inform me

CM and DU are working like charm already for our device. Why you want a heavily skinned UI again for the device?
I think MIUI wasn't enough for you screw things down! ;P;P
Try CM 13 its way smoother or snapoier than other heavily skinned UIs.

Cm13 is the one I'm using right now. it doesn't do any good for me. Lags while multi tasking and the battery has been poor too. So I give up performance on my 1GB device

Are you on latest official nightly?
CM is not lagging even a bit on my device try clean installing the next nightly and use Slim Gapps Zero this time.
Also flash Berserk latest kernel and tune it as per the OP of Berserk Kernel thread.
Flash Xposed and install Greenify and activate the Greenify module in Xposed framework, Turn ON the 'Aggressive Doze' from settings of the Greenify App and hibernate unnecessary apps from running in the background.
The combo of these things will give the best Battery life and performance.
I personally get 6hrs of SOT daily.

Try the latest Dirty Unicorn ROM 10.2 from s.sawrav and pirej.
I checked that thread and even Ashish94 claimed that DU is much smoother than other CM based ROMs.

I wonder how much time it takes.

[Discussion] Favourite rom and why?

Thought I'd start this discussion just for a place to talk about what rom we're all running at present, for what reasons etc. to perhaps offer and overview of what choices are available for our great device.
I'm currently on Oreo Beta 1 - runs very quickly with such impressive performance, loving the stock camera (though keen to see what future software updates can offer...), with my screen brightness down to 5-10% indoors and on WiFi I'm getting anywhere between 10-12 hours screen on time.
Will be curious to run Lineage when it comes official/stable and will love it when Google camera port is running nicely on our phones as definite enhancements can be had!

Nice! I'm curious of it, how do you find it compared to stock? In terms of speed (can't imagine this device being any faster lol), battery life and of course the seemingly dreaded question... Camera quality?

Right now on official OmniROM 8.1. It's fast, extremely stable, has excellent 10 hour screen on time for battery life over 1.5 days(my usage), and has excellent OMS theming support with nice minor OS tweaks and addons like OmniSwitch Recents replacement.
I was running official Oreo OOS but didn't care for the lack of proper theming, but the camera is a tad better and battery life was about the same. Maybe a little less than Omni.

Sounds good to me! Is it the case that some Google camera ports work better on none OOS ROMs? Also with OmniROM, can you run that encrypted?

Try the Validus by Ground Zero Team, rock stable and gives outstanding battery life, lost 5% for 1st hour of screen on.

No tweaks beside my own changes of rom content. Camera is "snap" camera as seen in many roms, have not checked picture quality yet tho. Same goes for other camera apps.

I don't think the ports run any better or worse depending on the ROM.
Omni runs encrypted by default..

Codename phoenix 8.1 because it's stable, fast and great battery life, plus the right customisation features
And you can run it encrypted too

thats great. i can make use of my otg drive then..
i just need to start reading now coz im running my 5t stock unrooted.

Only ever used three ROMs on this device. First was the stock ROM the device came with (OOS 4.7.3), didn't get to experience it much because i flashed FreedomOS 4.7.4. I loved that ROM on my 3T. Had a lot of features. But i kinda lost interest because most of what i found useful in the 3T weren't yet implemented on the 5T ROM. And the dev took his sweet time releasing updates (not that taking time is wrong, it's just that i need my updates as quickly as possible). So i flashed OOS Oreo Beta 1. I'm loving it so far. I'll probably try out LOS when they release a stable 8.1 build.

Which one in your experience has the best battery life? Stock vs other ROMs

Some say Stock ROM is the best while others favor Xiaomi.eu. What is your experience?

May i ask you or warn you?[emoji23] [emoji23]
You are just creating a post like a PM in social media. [emoji43]
And for the above message
I would say
Those rom which occupies less storage space is the one which saves the battery.
And
I prefer custom rom for battery saving as they are made for saving, performance purposes.

This is a direct question that requests the personal experience of other users. Don't understand why it would be against the rules.
Anyway, I switched to Xiaomi.eu after Stock. Will report my own experience after some days.

Once I tried aosp I couldn't look back... MIUI just isn't as fast and stable, and since we don't have custom kernels on MIUI 11 Q I can't adjust the screen saturation (lavender screen is pretty washed out by default). In terms of battery life, Lineage OS with stock kernel has probably been the best for me.

You are not the only one that speaks in Stock's favor. So there is a noticeable difference between it and Xiaomi.eu? I'm feeling tempted to go back to Stock now, custom ROMs are nice but there always some issues.

If there will be aosp rom for making me leave stock , this will be resurrection remix android 10 official, but I see that its not gonna happen.

Alright, forget what I said, due to many people praising it I tried MIUI 11.0.7.0 PFGEUXM, debloated of course.
With 3G network only and full Wi-Fi access, I'm getting battery life similar to my Z Play's. It maybe slightly better or worse, they seem the same to me but in any case, I'm very satisfied.
I used the Xiaomi debloater tool... Are there additional methods to de-bloat the phone a bit more?

I knew that since my Windows Mobile times. First thing I did was removing the fancy things and unnecessary apps. People reported MIUI as very aggressive when it comes to battery saving, and I found it to be true (if I'm not missing anything).
