Hello XDA
A friend of mine got her OP2 with some kind of issue with its eMMC: EXT4 ROMs, including stock Oxygen, get really slow after some time, even when manually trimmed often. We tried many custom ROMs to solve this problem and the solution was always one: F2FS! When formatting cache and data as such, all problems and stutters disappears.
Now let's get to the title: she tried LineageOS, the official one is not yet stable enough for her daily use (especially the slider, still not working at all), but she liked really much the new Android, especially the split screen feature.
Any advice on which rom to choose? (especially one with CAF updates )
Thank you
Try CosmicOS, afaik its based on AOSP CAF, don't know how it will behave with f2fs tho

Hi All,
I have had my Galaxy S 4 (I9505) for a while now but it is still running android 4.3.
I was hoping to update it to 5.0.1 but when I plugged it into my PC, Kies said 'This device is unsupported'
I want to flash a new rom onto it (I have done this in the past with a samsung tablet)
I was just wanting some feedback as to what is regarded as a good rom for it these days. Should I go a standard stock rom from sammobile or are there custom roms out there that perform better?
Thanks for any help and advice.

Custom roms give you more performance. Stock roms tend to lag here and there, from what I saw in rom reviews.
If you want a minimalist rom, go for CM12 or Slim roms. They have very few features.
If you want lots of features, go for AICP or Resurrection Remix. These two combine the most popular features from other roms (I personally use Resurrection Remix).
And there are the GPE roms. I don't know how GPE 5.1 is, but on 5.0 the rom was rock solid and everything worked.
I can't say anythinv about stock touchwiz because, since I changed I never went back

Try a custom S6 Touchwiz ROM for your phone model - you'll be pleasantly surprised by the new look, feel and performance. I know I am!
I tried CM but not such a big fan... Experiment a bit until you find what you were ALWAYS looking for!
You try to consider CM 12.1 or GPE Roms. The major disadvantage is the camera quality and some multitasking features on TW, but it's hella fast and smooth.

Roms
I would recommend Cyanogenmod but sometimes it comes with some problems. Check out first which is the stable version for s4.
Also, I would recommend the WickedRom which is great and great performance. And the WanamLite Rom is amazing if you would like to tune your mobile , for example gpu or cpu in higher frequencies or even set custom gestures and etc.( but remember to be careful with those why you might break your phone

it's like you have already a custom rom, or a rooted & modified stock rom !.

go for Resurrection Remix like said: GDReaper, or may be BlissPOP ( with terrible battery drain for me).
I tried just the straight CM 12 rom and it was okay, but once I put on the one of the Optimized CM 12.1 roms I got better battery life and faster performance, but also lost a few features, got a few bugs, but so far so good. It really depends what you want.
If you are willing to have a few crashes, bugs you can put on the newest rom builds, but if you want stable, then going for the older well established ones may be a better option.

I have to correct you here buddy It's almost always better to pick the latest CM build. Because it's a work in progress, every new build has a lot fixes.
I'm curious though to what bugs you are referring to. I used it pretty long and I found it almost to be bugfree. Besides the obvious difficulty's with bluetooth.

Hey Lenny, the official CM builds I have never had an issue with (except nightlies of course) however when we get into the custom ROM world such as Slimroms, modified CM builds etc I do tend to hit a few bugs, such as crashes of apps, however often those builds then become stable.
Hope that makes more sense?
The only good advice is to just use stock roms. It's stable, no bugs, no issues. The only thing that pisses you off is the laggggggg!
Can anyone pls tell me whats the feature upgrade that we get while moving from Android 6 to Android 7....

there r lots of YouTube video for that .. watch them you will get to know
The biggest feature of Nougat based ROMS, or more accurately CM14 and LineageOS14 based ROMS, is inconsistent instability.
Random things mess up at random times.
Every single 7.1.x based ROM I have tried for Z00T (almost all of them) have gotten pretty annoying sometimes. They are all almost there, but still short of fully stable. There's tons of really nice features, especially in OctOS and Resurrection Remix, but the random crashes of random apps has just become too much for me to tolerate.
I applaud the devs who have put in their time to give us these ROMs. I have a coworker who is an Android dev, and he says the problem is really with Nougat, not the devs. I believe him 100%, especially after reading articles that Pixel users have had with stock Nougat versions.
I am, as I type this, in the process of backing up apps and SD card data so I can revert to a Marshmallow ROM.
If you don't mind random app crashes, and mind you it's not all the time but you never know when to expect it, the 7.1.x ROMS are worth trying out. Aside from the bad times, Nougat is really nice.

I'm also facing similar issues on my zenfone selfie
Is there any stock ASUS MM ROM which is pre-rooted and can be flashed via TWRP or which MM custom rom is most stable? I tried RR MM rom, but it was also unstable..

Try HalogenOS, I found it very stable and well optimized for our devices
I am a noob user, I just know how to use a phone, and seldom understand many technical terms, and just able to perform flashing new ROMs on my phone, I prefer a stable ROM for long term use, I have been using CM11 after trying a bunch of ROMS, and I factory reset it a couple of times, because of some lags and abrupt shutdowns, I now want to have a change in UI, but want a good battery backup. I use, JIO 4G sim in one slot and telenor 2g sim in another. I dont play games , occasionally i watch videos, but much of the time, I prefer using my phone for exam prep and browsing.
Does my phone support Nougat? is there any custom ROM that is stable, in NOUGAT?, If yes, please suggest the same for me.
Thanks in advance for the seniors
try AICP by dev_harsh
stockrom 4.4.4 s040 is the best
If your N Fan and u just have to try it out then check out Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 (with over the air updates supported) -by Dev Harsh
however i used it and grew out of N because it became laggy after a while i guess its all the accumulated data that causeses that ultimately what i find best is CM13 - By ED300 + Prometheus/ Phatom Reborn Kernel (Overclocked to 1.6Mhz CPU/720Mhz GPU + Xposed Module for ultimate tweaking)
Use mokee7.1.2 by dev_har****. Very stable rom and smooth like butter. No lags no problem crashes. Use it if you want nougat. Around 400 MB ram always free in 1gb variant also.
Cosmic OS
I know there are some common bugs, but I know they'll be fixed soon or later. Meanwhile I just want to try Oreo in my phone with an stable ROM. Thanks in advance!
I bet everyone will name a different rom, but I would suggest Omni Rom, because the developer is pretty quick with fixes. If you don't like Omni, you could try unofficial Lineage 15.1 32bit.
I would definitely not use a 64 bit version, because of the memory leak problems, at least not until we have Motorola's Oreo Kernel sources and drivers.
Personally I wouldn't use any Oreo rom as my daily driver, especially since stock rom has very good performance and battery backup.
I was using AICP but the dev is currently busy with other things, so it hasn't had a working update in a while. RR is pretty good as well. However, if you're not willing to deal with memory leaks, Omni is the way to go.

I used RR for a week, but the memory leaks were just too bad. H e c c, every single time someone would send me something on Messenger and the chat bubble would appear, my phone would freeze. And while it is true that Omni doesn't suffer from memory leaks, I found it very laggy even after trying clean flashes of multiple builds over time. And yes, Night Light and LiveDisplay were off. I was quite happy with Nitrogen OS at some point, but, if I'm right, it wasn't updated in a while. I'm currently trying a clean flash of AOSiP and I am quite surprised, the ROM is extremely fluid and, even after getting all of my apps from RR back up and running, the RAM didn't get eaten up yet. So I would recommend giving it a try, but every ROM has different features, and everyone has different tastes. So you'll need to do some testing until you find one to suit your preferences. Good luck!
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.

Is that Android Ice Cold Project? If so, after looking it up, only see for the Moto G5. Guess they stopped for the Moto X Pure?

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.
