As the title says users who used asop roms for there v20 just got some quick questions about the experience and feel of using these kinda of roms vs stock roms.
1) Any noticeable improvements using ASOP roms vs stock rom? like cellular strength, battery and other general usage per say when using the phone in every day use.
2) is there any downsides to using these kinda of roms? i know the second screen doesn't work but other uses like cellular voice/data bluetooth , camera, screen brightness control or anything that is necessary to use the phone. Or rather anything that would hamper a daily use of the phone, camera, sms stuff like that
3) finally how is the speed when using the rom vs stock? is it more snappier, faster or pretty much the same. is there any reason to stick to stock vs ASOP based on your usages with these roms so far?
If everyone can chime in it would be so helpful.

Try is out yourself. Not everyone has the same experience with the same rom.

I have tried few most popular roms for note 3 (even tho its TMO i was using supported ones) and i can tell you that stock lolipop gave me best experience and here is why.
My first rom ever to be flashed was darklord note 5 port by darkera13 and even though it gave me stunning battery idle time it also gave me some bad experiences using camera software which was either poor quality or simply not working when it was needed.
Next I tried s6 port by same developer assuming 5.0.2 base would be much more compatible with our official one but there were some massive memory redraws and weird display brightness bug(screen becomes dim on wakeup).
Since roms above were used as base to other port style roms I dont expect any better from them.(not saying they are bad,contrary,but when stability and reliability is in question ill prefer stock sluggy rom.
I must say that I have never used CM on note 3 so I must leave that to someone else but by the time I am writing this i am using stock and only 5.0 rom provided by TMO on top of lean kernel.(also its massively debloated ).
Cheers,hope it helps!!
AryaMod: Fully featured. Stable. Fluid too (as fluid as stock), and believe some features are really handy, like the alarm notification on lock screen which Samsung omitted from Lollipop. Just use it without Xposed, and you are good to go.

Try tazzy-aurora note 5 port with darklord kernel 1.5 & LS speed mod. Everything works fine and it's really fast with good battery life.
I flashed the s6 settings + stock ui mod (extra mods) and i'm really happy with. Also no camera flickering with darklord kernel
See my sig. Temasek ftw ^^

AryaMod IMO is by far the best Lollipop TW based experience available. I tried literally every single rom from here for 5.0 and nothing compares to Arya when it comes to stability, usage, battery... I highly recommend it!
Always back to cyanogemod CM12.1 = quick, slim, reliable. Only negative is of course the lack of s pen, but you got some third party apps for that.
Used to be great fan of miui, however they are now getting less popular by making their new MIUI 7 lollipop based, which is a sad thing.
G'Day all my friends of the shining sun!
I'm a S4-owner since the first second and I really like that mobile... On the hardware site. I switched from the iPhone 4s and I loved to playing around with Android, Tasker, Flashing... Etc pp.
But I missed this "set it up and just use it"-feeling. Why? Because I have to care about the battery life, about the speed and about the storage space. So I tried all possible roms, starting with A like Alucard, over CM, Google Edition, Samsung Stock, crDroid, Abele, optimized cm... And now I'm with kushan rom.
Thank you all for this fantastic community, for the development, for the reports, help, Q&A, love and peace for the world!! There are also nice tweaks, features, gimmicks and other crazy stuff for everyone - awesome!
BUT: It feels like that there is no really stable build in any rom. There are still some little bugs that no one cares about because of the new Android (every year) and no one fixed it. Especially the CM's only nightly and monthly builds politic... Maybe I have very exotic problems or I'm still to stupid to find the stable one.. Anyway I'm unhappy
I'm just looking for a really stable and basic rom, that is fast and low on battery consumption. I just use the smartphone for browsing, sms, camera and Bluetooth music connection to my car... That's it, nothing more.
I don't like to start a big discussion of the best rom or sth like that, I'm just looking for tips because I don't have more ideas. Additionally I don't care about the newest rom... It just have to work (see the paragraph before).
Thank you

Performance and battery don't go along very well.
For stability and battery life you would be looking at stock roms. But, for some reason, people have problems even with stock roms. So what does that tell you?
Even stock roms aren't completely stable.
Marshmallow took android's speed up a notch. Everything seems snappier. Although, there are still issues. But they vary from user to user.
People say that Lollipop didn't improve over Kitkat in terms of battery life.
Toucwhiz still has the best camera app and can make most of the camera features (HDR, Slow-Motion). And it probably also has better battety life. We are talking about stock touchwhiz, not a custom touchwhiz.
Slim roms are very basic, with a few extras.
AOSP roms from JDCTeam are even more stripped down. It's just basic android.
Keep in mind that wifi and mobile data are big battery drainers. I can maybe get 2 hours SOT with wifi or mobile data activated. But I can probably double or triple that with wifi and mobile data off.
But I don't use the more fancy features of the phone, like GPS and such.
Should I sell the lg g2 and get mi4C which is currently on discount for 173$.
I think it is a better phone and I also like miui a lot. I like the g2, but it is only 9 months old from the date I bought it and I know that a lot of people have yellow spots on the sreen after 1 year use.
I don't know if I should change with the mi4c. I like the g2. I am currently on cr droid android m and it is very fast.

Why are you thinking of that ? It is still a good phone . Development is still in motion .
Because the mi4 is a newer and better device with software that I like better
The sore point of the G2 is the slow, buggy stock ROM. One way to work around it is to install an AOSP based ROM, but you lose the stock camera and the ability to run certain banking and video streaming apps (because they seem to check for AOSP ROMs). The second options is perhaps to get a stripped down G2 lollipop ROM (only for d800). But if neither of these works out, I'd say sell it and get something else.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Most(/all) aosp roms are garbage - laggy, lower raw performance, no camera, poor stability, etc. They're experimental roms for enthusiasts to test, not like stock roms that are fast and stable which are meant to be used everyday. For some reason people delude themselves into thinking aosp is somehow better...
Op, if you like miui and want to spend the extra $ for the mi4c, then you should do it. It seems to be a much better phone.

I highly disagree with this post. I am not speaking for "most" AOSP ROMs. Just look at the well established ones: Cyanogenmod, BlissPOP, etc (I honestly think this is it, as far as good AOSP ROMS go). I had pretty much zero issues with Cyanogenmod ROMs on devices I have used them on. Of course, if you run the bleeding edge CM13 will have more bugs than the more stable and well established CM12.1. Right now I am running the last LG2-compatible official OmniROM, which is based on KitKat, on my G2 and this ROM was basically a revelation. It's incredibly, blazingly fast. So fast, that I think if I took away two cores and halved the clock speed of the remaining cores, there would still be no difference in speed or responsiveness, and it still would run fast. The stock 5.0.2 ROM on the other hand, seriously feels like its running on its last legs, specially if you multitask a lot. The lag can be real and very noticeable.
As for the camera, the advantages of the stock LG camera are highly exaggerated. It can take forever to focus, and often fails to focus, specially shooting videos. I downloaded every free camera app I could find on the play store onto the OmniROM install, and pretty much everyone of them is more than passable. Right now I am using Google camera, but HD Camera seems pretty satisfactory too (sans the ads in the free version). Overall, I'd say the LG camera is better, but it's not that much significantly better or more important to prevent me from using other ROMs.
I used reconstruction remix, blisspop, vanir and currently using cr droid android M. Even with android M I have no issues. Have been using it for about a month. Had one crash or two on one app. That is all. I really like it and it is very fast.
I like everything about this phone expect that you can't put tempered glass screen protector, because it doesn't fit good.
The mi4C is on a really good price atm for 170$. I like miui, new features, usb - c, sunlight display, better SOC, tempered glass will stick good, new device(Released 2015 September). The g2 is almost 3 years old. That is the thing that makes me wanna sell it. It is just old and I might get a yellow spot on the screen, because a lot of people have one.
The mi4C is really a better phone, but I am still not sure if I should do it, because I still like the g2, but on the other hand the mi4c is on a really good deal atm
Hey everyone. After noticing that Moto X Style (Pure) is getting a lot of new ROM's of different base I am starting to be curious .
What is the best advantages and disadvantages of all bases: stock, CyanogenMod, AOSP, AOKP?
I will try to flash some of them, but right now I don't have time to experiment, so I created thread for this question.
Earlier I was Samsung Galaxy S3 proud owner, but after experience with TouchLAG, ou sorry, TouchWiz, I tried a lot of bases, but the main disadvantage of all but stock ROM's was that all "drivers" for my device was gone! - camera quality and speed, audio loudness and quality, screen colours, battery life, and other features was gone. Also battery life on outher ROM's is not so good, and a lot of bluetooth wakelocks was coming to. The main advantage of custom ROM's was speed and ability to modify everything!
So now, I am looking for answer, what will I loose after installing custom ROM to my device.
1) I suppose that Moto features like moto display and all gesture controls will be gone? But is it possible to add ambient display to work with IR sensors of Moto?
2) After my Galaxy S3 experience, I am curious will I loose my camera quality, audio, and other? Will it loose some of its juice?
I am TruPureXMM and Frakenclark user with Xposed (GravityBox) and other stuff, so basically I have all functions that I want, but, maybe with custom ROMS its possible to gain some battery life and some perfomance.
Feel free to write comments, I want to know what is your experience with custom ROM's, what did you like, what not!
Hi, im looking for a fastest ROM for our G2, i want to have ~5h SOT and good stability. Anybody know what is the best?
Many opinions here, in terms of speed stock LP is the slowest for me and aosp nougat the fastest. I definitely recommend aospextended3 and you can flash a custom kernel of you want more options specifically to save battery.
AOSP Extended v3.0 for sure!
I have G2 for almost one year, and still didn't flashed any custom ROM. But its rooted and have custom recovery.
I would like to try something at least 6.x+
What do you suggest guys?
I want stable, as much as possible bug free ROM. I do NOT need all the world customization options, or things like that. I will be fine with some basic stuff, yeah.
I wanted to give a try to Exodus ROM, but I waited for them to fix WIFI connect from list bug, but that will never happen, as they are stopped developing MM.
Camera and back led is not my main concerns, but I would like to have normal sound in Calls, Hotspot, NFC, Radio, Bluetooth and IR if possible And OK battery -> ~4 SOT like on this stock LP. Does I want too much?
Thank you.
I would recommend linage os 14.1. im using this rom very stable i dont find any issue for now. Sorry for my bad english.
