Best STABLE ROM released for Redmi 2?

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

I am on stock miui brother. First root your device, install flashify and flash twrp from flashify. You are done.

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.

Custom ROM with VoLTE(Jio 4G) Daily Driver

Hello Community,
I am currently on OxygenOS 3.5.6.
Since this is my only device, I would like to try a stable custom ROM with minimal to no bugs with VoLTE (Jio) working.
I have been following Oneplus community forums and came across issues where in there are frequent network drops and bootloops on certain roms. As this is my daily driver, I don't get much time to experiment with various ROM.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Cosmic OS

For a daily driver give slim6 a shot, its smooth, boots up as quick as OOS, currently getting ~5hrs SOT so battery is quite good, and best of all its xposed compatible
If you want to compare options, I also found H2OS to be rock stable as well, I personally just wanted to change after using it as my daily driver for over a year LOL.
P.S. I'm not 100% about VoLTE on slim6 so best double check that

I gave Cosmic a try. It's a nice ROM but I didn't like the stock phone dialer and camera.
Is it possible to flash OxygenOS 3.5.6 camera app and phone app on this? I really like the phone app from OxygenOS 3.5.6
Citrus was good but the fingerprint lag, persistent HD notification and Google Assistant setup every time trying to initiate it made me switch back to OOS 3.5.6.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I've tried HydrogenOS in the past. Don't like the UI.
Looking for a stable, bug free, without fingerprint lag, nougat based daily driver material.

Try AospExtended from the xda forums.it will fullfill all your's needs.

You can use the latest pixel phone dialer. It is much better than the one present in custom roms. Just install it and set it as the default phone app. Alternatively, you can flash the full open gaaps or using aroma installer

First flash H2OS and then lineage-14.1-20170214-nightly-oneplus2-signed.zip with the VoLTE firmware fix. Perfectly stable for me. It does reboot once in a few days, which I think is acceptable.

Try Xenon HD! It's super smooth compared to all other ROMs!

All 7.x roms currently suffer from random reboots and network drops. I tried a few roms and switched back to OOS .
Oneplus need to release the kernel sources for 3.5.x in order for custom ROM makers to uptake and fix this issue.

Stable nougat roms?

so ive been away from this phone for about 6 months now and im finally coming back to it as my daily driver, I broke the screen and had to use an old pantech my dad had from 08. But Im amazed seeing all these nougat roms popping up and i have a few questions.
1. Will Dirty Unicorns or TruPure be updated to nougat? These 2 were my favorites back 6 months ago and i dont have the time to look and see if they will be at the moment. But im guessing not as no ones talking about them in other threads anymore.
2. Which rom if any is the most stable out of the nougat roms we have so far?
3. Is it even worth upgrading to a nougat rom yet? should i just wait for official nougat

DU was updated to Nougat, just not posted on XDA. Google for the official DU site and you will see they've been updating it frequently. I like DU, but I was having issues with cell signal.

I can vouch for DU. Very stable ROM.

DU is most stable by far. The latest resurrection remix builds have been stable as well. Both these ROMS are 7.1.2.
Honestly these ROMS are pretty stable by now, and if you are on xt1575 dont get your hopes up about the official nougat. Even when or if it does come, it will be extremely buggy I would assume. So yes definitely go for a custom ROM I would recommend DU or RR. Also if you want a good custom kernel to play around with definitely check out handbag kernel!

Thank you guys/gals I will most likely be going back to DU as it was my favorite ROM! I've tried RR but i didn't have it long as i was missing DU but im pretty excited to be back on the moto train later today. And big thanks for the direct DU link as i was having trouble finding it.

Thanks!
I've been testing DU since last Saturday... I gotta say I'm amazed! Way faster and stable than I expected.
There are only minor bugs... Like random audio bumps or screen glitches. But nothing major.

Do you guys have issue with calls and speaker on du? Basically the moment I switch speakers on during a call, the other party can't hear me well. Anyone with a possible solution?

Dirty Unicorns vs Resurrection Remix... Which should i pick?
Is there a stable CyanogenMod 13? I just unlocked my bootloader and I'm looking for a rom that is stable, has theming (cmte preferred), and good performance and battery life. I use CM13 on my Moto E LTE and love it.

Did you ever find this out? I am on RR right now and everything seems smooth but tried to use the speaker phone today and the other side could not hear me. Wondering if it is the same for DU before I flash. This is my first Nougat flash and had been running MM TruePure this whole time lol

DU stopped nougat development & moved on to oreo. Now that we got the N source, it may fix it. That is if the device maintainer wants to keep working on the device.

Stable Custom ROMs for Moto G4

Hi guys,
Today I have LineageOS nightly running on my device, but this is second time that my device was bizarre factory reseted when I charge my device.
I like LineageOS but I don't like to lose my data, then I want other Custom ROM that is more stable.
What custom ROM I can use that today is stable and support encryption? Thanks.

In my opinion, rr is the best best for device(if you like customization). InvictaOS great, aicp Rom, aosp extended, for stock rom experience use jx's rom series.
**All ROMs mentioned above are official and are upto date(nougat 7.1.2.)**
Idk if paranoid is available for xt16xx . If it is give a try to it.(latest is 7.2N)

Best Pie rom?

Recently there have been many Pie rom for our device, I am certain many of you might have tried. As far as I am concern I tried pie rom in the start of their release but I switched back to oreo. As title says Which is best Pie rom till now? Recommendation should be focused on battery life, stability and customisation. As always Thank You.

Generally all pie ROMs have good battery life..
Bt the stability and encryption are my main issues....
I have tried ARROW OS official version(voLTE didn't work for me) , PIXEL EXPERIENCE didn't boot up and currently I'm using NITROGEN OS unofficial =which supports voLTE and has quiet a number of customisations and moreover it is stable also.
"NITROGEN has great battery backup and most importantly it doesn't support encryption?(i hate encryption).
IN the past 4 days i didn't even face a single random reboot.
*Bt it is not that smooth and you feel slow..
So I'm thinking of trying HAVOC OS unofficial...
Will update about it once i try it...

*Update
Tried HAVOC OS unofficial.
Everything is better than NITROGEN OS
and the only issue is encryption.
Hope you can bye pass it...

I have flashed pixel experience pie but facing encryption problem

What is encryption?
I want to flash pie rom on my redmi 3s but, i see everywhere peoples are talking about encryption issue. What is it?

If u want Oreo then go with miui Oreo room,,,,if pie then go for pixel experience...

Try Woivod's Syberia build... Really Stable and amazing Battery... Customization still in early stage but better than most other ROMs...

I have been using Aex extended for quite some time now. It's the most stable, I tried many in the meantime but most of them failed to impress me for different reasons.
I saw few members are Praising Syberia official/unofficial, but I haven't tried yet.
Aex Extended pie will be around by Dec 12 otherwise oreo is almost perfect. Wonderful BB/performance balance. More than enough customisation.

Havoc Unofficial by Weritos is really Good... Performance, battery and Customisations...

Try disable dm-verity from latest twrp??

I am using superior os... I have not used any other pie rom... But this one seems to be completely fine for me... Volte, wifi, hotspot all are working great... It comes with gcam 5.1...I am a newbie in this field so i do not know how to exactly check bb... But yes while playing games it last for around 4 hrs.... And as for customizations there are tons of options to customize

I tried many roms for my redmi3s and from my experience I found that PixysOs is the best Rom.
It is smooth and battery consumption by it is very less...and you will also find no. Of customizations..in it.
I surely recommend PixysOs Android Pie Rom installation in your land device .
Till now no other Rom gives that much stability and customizations.:good:
