OK, I'm buying a new phone very soon, so far I'm going with the HTC one M8...
But, the note 3 is only 40$ more which got me thinking if it's worth it..
Here's a comparison between the two in terms of specs : http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6074&idPhone2=5665
My only issue is I hate touchwiz to death... I hate it so much that I'd rather use iOS than using touchwiz and I hate iOS so much as well BTW, but still.. Touchwiz.. Uggh..
And that means that I'd be relying mainly on AOSP ROMs..
So how are they on the snapdragon model.. Are they as stable as official ? Is there any known unfixable issues on them ? Performance wise ? The Camera ?
And on a totally different subject, does it record slow mo videos ?
I can see it records 1080p60fps... What about 120fps on 720p ? Is it possible ?
Camera is not as good as on Samsung ROMs, and NFC does not always work, but otherwise the ROMs are as good as you would get on a Nexus device, IMHO.

Define "not as good" ?
Any major crashes or just overall quality ?
You may hate TouchWiz as i did, until they released a different version for Note 5/S6. While they're stubbornness to respond to UI/UX feedback from users is still lacking, Sammy did something here worth checking (i think it has to do with the fact that they asked Google for help).
The Note 5/S6 Ports are SOLID. Personally, AOSP is unmatchable to TW Ports in battery life, but they're better in performance though (most of the times). Please note that this is from my personal experience, i prefer not to flash every week a major system update, let alone daily.
Again, a Note 5 Port gave me 2 days of battery life with 5 hours screen time, consistently, with minimal modding.

I don't just hate touchwiz coz of its performance... I hate it coz it looks pretty darn awful.
If I'm getting the note 3.. I don't think I'm ever gonna be running TW...
__
so still my questions ?
if anyone's has been running AOSP roms for a while, I'd love to know how it's been going ? major issues or anything ?

Poor low-light performance. Sometimes blurry images. IRS usable but not great. YMMV.
For system stability, if you are comfortable with CM, it's as good as is expected. Some builds and kernels are solid as rock, others a crash-fest. I'm very happy but others are not.
One thing to note, though, is that the next Android update might have issues, as a lot of the devs have moved to newer devices. Marshmallow builds are now good enough to use, but next year things might be more difficult.

That's the things I care about....
Well, then.. No NOTE 3 for me...
Thanks for your help.. I think I'm gonna go with the M8.. It has a more active development community...
or wait, and eventually get a 5X or a 6P

I'm waiting for the next Nexus phones myself. Recently got my son a Nexus 5 and realized how much nicer it is to have a phone fully supported by AOSP. Better camera and longer period of upgrades.

Yea, I just checked with the stores here... The 5X is available... But I really wanna get the 6P.. I might wait till its price drop a lille bit... If it doesn't in the next two months.. I'll just go with the 5X
You can try stable asop rom. I prefer CM roms. Its much much better than touchwiz roms
Hello guys, what is the most better, customized rom for nexus 6p?
Normally when it comes to Nexus roms, there is no real best ROM. Its all about what u want and don't want. Some are heavily customised, some are almost stock, some come with fancy kernels, etc. But all of them have some small bugs, nothing to keep most form calling them a daily driver, but some. The ones with the least bugs and quicker development are normally the most replied. But just do a backup and try them for yourself. That's what most people will tell u.

Yes, I can taste all the roms, but it will take a certain amount of time, I just wanted to see even one who sits on what rom

For me the best nexus rom is stock with xposed with gravity box and EX Kernel. :good:

I started out with Screw'd rom with synapse and ak kernel (and the kernel updater) which I like very much. As of now I am sitting with the current Screw'd rom and beta testing the Nethunter 2.1 kernel. Loving it!

There is no best ROM, what's best is purely subjective and changes from user to user. These kinds of threads go nowhere, you'll just get a bunch of different opinions. What's best for you can only be decided by you via your own testing.
I was on pure Nexus for a few weeks...had to flash back to stock to get AirWatch mdm to work.
Since then I rooted and am just going stock with Xposed. GravityBox plus a few other modules can do pretty much anything I needed a custom ROM to do.
Is stock with xposed n Franco working correctly?

Are there any ROMs currently developed in CAF?
I'm running Ubermallow ROM and R23 Kylo Kernel.
Smooth, stable, and using the built in Kernel auditor I use Barry-Allen and Despair governors for battery life that lasts for days. My favorite set up for sure :good:
I'm using Chroma and FK with Xposed as my daily driver and cannot be happier at this time with the combo
Dang, Xposed and Franco...I'm very happy with the 6P stock as is. But that sounds nice. Xposed and any of those good kernels.

Hello everyone,
After weeks of reading & seeing tests and videos about Nexus 6P, I'm now thinking about buying one.
I've got the International Exynos Galaxy note 3 for two years now, with the CM12.1, it did the job until now, but it got old.
My question is : what's the best rom (custom or stock) for the Nexus 6p? I want the smoothest rom, with a good battery life (I don't care if it's odexed or deodexed)
P.S : I live in algeria, we dont have 4g, Project FI, Google Now...etc

There is no better ROM.
Similar to me saying that's the best phone, or best car. There is no answer because with choice comes preference and opinion..no one can tell you what you need to know.
Also didn't think these threads were allowed on XDA?
Personally using beanstalk and its been decent.
So has pure, resurrection, screwd and I've heard good things about the others.
All very similar to be honest.

I came note series myself and the last one was the note 5. But due to disappointments around overall speed and smoothness of note 5 considering it has more eye watering specs than the nexus 6p, I settled for a nexus 6p. Usually with samsung I always had to use custom roms and kernel in order to get some better performance out of it. Am pleased to say with nexus 6p I still haven't installed a custom rom and kernel because this phone is fast out of the box. Try stock first and if you feel you need more power then go custom.

Thx for the answer dude
Why is there so little love for this device?
there is only 5 threads in the dev subforum.
2 of them is about recovery
1 is on unofficial LineageOS
1 on a DPI changing patch and the last one on beta MIUI 9
thinking to myself if i've decided on the less loved device lol
Xiaomi has not released the kernel source. This makes development challenging. Things are probably going to change when that happens in roughly 5 months (based on delay to release Mi Max sources).

this is my 1st xiaomi device. didn't know they take so long to release their sources.
5 months is a long time man lol... that is kinda disappointing.
but let's just hope it'll be sooner, thats all users can do..
I was an earlier obsessive ROM/kernel flasher and have now sort of settled down. I honestly feel that stock roms are good enough for most general use cases. What I would suggest is to get on the Global MIUI beta for the weekly updates. Nothing offers more stabiility (in terms of connectivity, bluetooth, GPS, etc) for a device as the stock rom and I am saying this from experience.

Thank you for the inputs.
I played around for a day / two but MIUI, it is just a little too messy.
Settings seems to be all over the place.
I've been on android devices since cupcake and always like the simplicity of aosp or lineage in this case ever since cyan. That is y I'm looking forward to lineage official support. I guess it'll happen, just gotta wait till kernel source is releaseed. :fingers-crossed:

I agree. With my first android phones, custom roms could be an improvement. But now adays, theyre usually worse. I have had a redmi note 2, redmi note 3, mi max and now mi max 2. Miui-roms has been the best rom for all of them. especially battery life and camera.
I root, delete apps I dont want, choose the launcher and theme I want and I can get the look I prefer.

MIUI is not that bad at all in my opinion. Give it a try a little more. It's not bloated, interface is relatively clean. I just don't like that dodgy built-in cleaner app.

it'll come a day, whereby things will just be like @praveen6585 .. i'll get tired of following updates and flashing this unlocking that and just settle with what comes out of the box. there's just too much options nowadays.. and too much to read into lol.
There will be more mi max 2 buy by Indians as there is huge discount in flipkart. So future development will be good for this giant.
Got this phone for INR 11700/- (184 USD)
4GB RAM/32 GB.
Now looking back worried, because there seems to be no stable custom ROMs out there...

They r great at coming out with cheap phones with good specs but suport is ughs.
I now only use this for media consumption if am not on my tablet.
Have moved on to the op5t.
This have been a standby for me anyway. I’ll be glad if theres even a decent kernel out there.

I'm with you. I'm a former serial flasher with all my samsung phones but now I'm more than content to have something that just works...no crashes, no spontaneous reboots, no compromises. I did switch to the DEV rom so I get weekly updates which suits me fine. LOVE this phone.
um...

besides, kernel sources were released just 16 days ago. give it some time, im sure there will be something more coming up soon-ish
Hello,
When do you think we will have LineageOS for our device? Unofficial or official? Thanks.
That's a good question. Let the experts about ROM development say something
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
Well, I'm no expert but Xiaomi needs to release the kernel source before we start seeing custom ROMs. They said they would do it in three months. So, let's wait and see.
The phone is pretty accessible and runs under the android one frechise so, just wait till they release the sources.
When kernel sources are released, im sure custom ROMs will start to roll out.
I really hope guys!

It's because the Redmi Note 3 has a better CPU "Snapdragon 650" vs The Mi A1 "Snapdragon 625"
what's really weird is that Xiaomi downgrade the CPU on the newer phone "Redmi Note 4" to the Snapdragon 625

Benchmark score doesn't matter and by the way Redmi Note 3 does have a faster processor but it is not power efficient and heats up more than 625.

The SD625 is built on 14nm process whereas the SD650 is built on 28nm process(older, gets heated after playing for long sessions, and reduces its speed)

Didn't find it necessary to mention the tech stuff.
Why would you asking custom rom when you already have pure android,the stock one is definitely more stable,our software is actually already incredible only need more fixes on camera stability and some minor issues,I'd prefer asking for fixing the issues instead of build from the scratch

There can be multiple reasons. I am waiting for the sources in order to have a clean Lineage install with signature spoofing. That and microg on top to get rid of gapps.
Also, maybe some people like the customisation that exists in some particular roms.
+1, also waiting for LineageOS for this device.

I don't see why it wouldn't. Xiaomi's snapdragon models seem to always have development since it's easy to unlock the bootloader. For development to thrive though, we have to wait till the kernel sources are released, which is about 2 months after release on average.

Just got the phone, definitely feels slower than it needs to be based on the specs. I am really hoping we see a custom recovery and ROMs soon to see this phone fly. I was checking and the X3 NFC got those 2 relatively quickly post release.

No miracles, no custom rom is going to make the phone fly.
For its price it is a very good phone.

I disagree with your assertion. Even Redmi note 5 pro from three years ago, performs very well without lag on AOSP ROMs. And we all know that SD 662 on the POCO M3 is faster and better than SD 636 on RN5 Pro. So i believe that POCO M3 will perform greatly on AOSP based ROMs.

The miui roms of that time were loaded with bloadware and not very optimized, so any "clean" rom made an appreciable difference in performance.
Today it is not like that, the current miui roms are quite clean and highly optimized (and can be easily cleaned of the bloadware they carry).
There is not much difference apart from the security issues with the other cleaner android roms.

I have a Redmi Note 7, with the SD660, that phone runs much much much faster, even with slower memory. The Poco M3 can go faster.
