Questions about CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM by ED300

Hey guys, I'm new here.. like super new and that's why I can't post to The Best CM12.1 CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM For Lenovo A6000/Plus (Stable) thread.
I would love to flash this rom. Stock KK is so slow and hanging every time I try to run more than one app (Spotify + Snapchat? Impossible!) But here is the thing. I've never did that before. I guess I know how to flash TWRP recovery and the actual ROM but I have no clue what to do with so many kernels.
My questions are:
1. Why do I need flash some kernel? I just want functional phone for everyday use with the best peformance+battery backup. I'm not looking for some "everyday flashing something new.". so can I just flash the rom without any addiotional kernel?
2. Dolby! I love music and I love Dolby. Can I flash Dolby Atmos?
3. Nobody is talking about heavy RAM usage (like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram - that's all I need actually). I know, 1 Gb is not many but I was suprised when my friend's 1GB ram phone can handle running Snapchat, Messenger and Spotify in one time without any significant lag! HOW?!
4. What is No Optimization? Why do I need it? What is this good for?
5. What is screen blinking bug? I just want to know if I wouldn't mind it.
6. Is there any guide how to revert back to Kitkat stock rom? I'm always trying to be safe.
7. In Kitkat there's possibility to swap internal storage and SD card. Is it presented also here?
Thank you so much for your answers! Really guys! And sorry, my English is bad, I know.
Have a nice day.

i will be glad to guide you
1-make a backup for every thing in twrp recovery savet in ext sd -just in case
2-as a beginner don't disturb your self withe custom kernel section
3-just download the rom and update 11 and gapps
4-no optimization for advanced users who are like to use their own optimization
5-blinking bug is bug common in this rom the screen goes off for 1 sec and turn on again
6-you have to try the rom by your self to judge it for me it is the best rom i have in this device

i have a question too that which rom is stable, ive tried cyanogenmod 12.1 but it lags i believe it hits a bottleneck limit causing it to lag because i cant seem to browse websites on chrome in peace without it hanging for a few...is there any other stable lollipop rom which doesnt consume too much RAM or should i add a custom kernel to squeeze out more performance

Custom kernels r used to squeeze more power and performance, so that u can get the most out of ur phone. If u know how to use custom kernels, dn go ahead with the flashing of ur preferred custom kernel. All ur hanging and lagging isues will be minimized at a great level. I personally prefer telo kernel by Mr. AW., and used the balanced setting given by ED300, and some settings that satisfy me, i haven't faced any lag thereafter.
Good luck!!

Best rom for athene

What do you think the best rom for the moto g4 plus is in terms of battery life and performance. And which rom would give the best battery life for a light user

I tried most of them, and I think stock is best.
I have my setup with magisk: systemless xposed and superuser.

using vanir, that or stock best for me.

RR 5.8.0 is very good in battery life out of the box, I'm using it for 5-7 sot for nearly 2 days(no gaming, no stream,Bluetooth, WiFi, flight mode over night)

For the simplest experience, don't look away from Stock.
Or you can go with RR 5.8.0. That's an awesome ROM for customization freaks.

I tried a few, but Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 is best so far.
Good battery life, rooted out-of-the-box, all features I tried actually worked.
I have a canadian 1641, retail, and have NOT upgraded my modem to the N version yet.

For me the rom has been xenon hd it's great has reasonable battery life around 5 hrs sot and it is smooth AF.

Stock ROM here. Stable, no issues. Systemless rooted SuperSU, added XtremeMusic mod and Dolby Atmos (same thread).

Im also using vanir but after upgrading to latest build battery draining fast.. any idea why this happening..?

Stock, Xposed, and maybe custom Kernel

I agree with stock. A little tweaking and stock is hard to beat.

Of you want a stable daily driver then stock can't be beat. Rooted makes it even better. Tried all the roms and they aren't good enough for daily drivers for me. Until an official rom, PAC was and has always been the second best to stock in my opinion.

I tried XPerience and Resurrection Remix, both for about a week, but I returned to rooted stock with ElementX kernel. That is the most stable setup I have found so far. Best battery life too.

Resurrection Remix hands down, been on it since the day it got released. Yes, it is a feature rich ROM and can let you customize in innumerable ways, and yet won't cost you in terms of performance and battery life.
Motor G4+ has official status to its RR ROM which means support from the Xda thread and RR devs as well.
Having tried quite a few Nougat ROMs on the Moto G4+ forum, can vouch for RR's stability. How about not having a single freeze, boot loop or auto restart since past two weeks I've been on it?
You can check its support thread, you'd have to look hard for reported bugs. In all the years of using custom ROMs, this ought to be one of the rare cases.
And it comes prebaked with kernel based on ElementalX, which means you get not only the kernel but can also tweak and optimize it with EX Kernel Manager, just as you'd do on stock.
As for the battery, I'm getting between 6 and 6.5 hours SOT with moderate - heavy use (streaming Spotify over VPN included)
Also, Xposed for Nougat is still nowhere in sight, which means having to wait still longer for the mods to be updated for 7.0 and 7.1. So, having a highly functional and feature rich ROM that can offer at least some of the functionality and customization of Xposed mods, is where RR wins over other custom ROMs.
Here's my current configuration on my XT1643:
RR 5.8.0 + SuperSU 2.78SR5 + ARISE Deuteronomy alpha with Dolby Atmos add on + Patched Adfree background playback YouTube + NoChromo adfree browser + Greenify Donation (sucks without xposed but nevermind)
Though I've not tried, but users confirm running (some) Substratum themes as well.
Future updates should get CMTE support as well, just in case.
I guess there's still lot more customization that can be done along with finding patched/alternative apps that Xposed mods would take care of other wise.
And yes, MotoG4+ is now officially supported for dualboot patcher, meaning you can boot into different ROMs which significantly expands scope of how you can use your device.
Lastly, all that's mentioned above is from Xda itself which means not only can you trust what you're doing to your phone, in case you do screw up you'd still have good chance to salvage yourself.

Id say stock with your criteria. I have only tried several versions of CM 14.1 myself but if I remember correctly the battery felt as if it was lasting longer on stock 6.0. The experience after dealing with several reflashes and getting used to that process is a bit hard but the system I use now feels allot faster. I can only guess that the better performance comes at the cost of battery usage.

I guess you did not read, search and you're also rude. That's not the way you should request something on XDA.
Did you ever installed a custom rom? If not, please take your time and learn basics BEFORE going further with installing ressurection remix. Otherwise you will run into big trouble.

Ok sorry for that..?

Hello Suggest Me Best Rom for Lenovo a6k 1GB model.

Please Suggest The best Rom for Today !!
I want rom that should have 200-300mb free ram after installing more than 30-40 apps on user profile .
which gives Flexability while playing games.
1gb model Halt or hangs most of the time. when the cache size become bigger in 4 to 5 days usage. (any sol for that is appreciated, temp sol is to clear from twrp recovery. )

Follow

Use mokee7.1.2 by dev_harsh!t. Very stable rom with around 400mb ram always free. Good battery backup. Smooth like butter with no lags. No crashes even. Recommended to try it once.

try Resurrection Remix or AICP by dev_harsh....

try CM13 by ED300 + Phantom Kernel + Xposed Modules with CPU OC to 2GHz/ GPU @ 720MHz (for your insane gaming requirements to run smooth) if you plan to go with Marshmallow otherwise with Nougat go with Resurrection Remix 5.8.4 by Harsh (its got all the required fixes and is up to date and even supports OTA Update however u can only flash custom kernel on Port)

Lag on any custom rom :/

Hello, I have a question, I have a Moto G4 XT1621, which in STOCK works correctly and smoothly, but when installing a CUSTOM ROM, a LAG and an intense BATTERY DRAIN is presented, I pass this with RR 7.1.2 and RR 8.1, in the same way install Mokee this worked normally, but it consumed a lot of battery, and in the three ROMS the phone was heated more than normal, now well in Kernel Auditor in the three ROMS I noticed that 3 more frequent nuclei with name "BIG", they were detained and even if they were activated they stopped again causing the above described.
My question is why and if someone else has happened to this type of problem and what solutions there are.

Like when I install a custom kernel, the cores remain deactivated and with the lowest frequency, this happens to me so much in stock with any rom

Did u disable live display?

SD 617 is a heater and heats up a lot... only stock ROM is the coolest.. after that, i found Invicta OS. RR both nougat and oreo are good given you use Invicta/EX kernel for nougat or you use frostbitten kernel for oreo version of it. I do not remember other ROMs, since i have tried too many.
custom tweaks that you can apply are... having atleast 1 big cluster core and 1 small cluster core active, as it results in less heating, if needed you can make 1 big cluster and 2 small cluster or 2 big cluster and 0 small cluster.. find the combination that works on your phone the besT! Also, give sometime for the ROM to settle before testing for battery and heating issues!
Deactivating live display and night light on oreo ROMs result in less lag!

i have tried all the oreo roms both 64 bits and 32 bits (with and without Gapps) tried changing kernel profile to performance (also tried different kernels) as well but status bar and recents were lagging horribly and i dont know whats the reason, the only rom that ran smoothly ware Bootlegger and Aosip (but these 2 also had lags here and there sometimes)

So the we will never get a good custom rom? The phone came out 2 years ago and still no custom rom that can match or beat the stock ROM.

InvictaOS was very good(better imo compared to stock) followed by official ressurection remix

Custom ROMs can not match the stability and smoothness of stock ROMs. Stock ROMs are made only for the specific device/model, hence it is perfectly tuned and optimized according to the device hardware requirement. On the other hand, custom ROMs are made universal (maintainers pick it up and compile it) which may or may not go well with your device.

A Way to Game while Maintaining the Normal Apps needed for daily usage

Okay so Ive come up a pretty simple way to get really good gaming performance on the Redmi Note 3, while still being able to use all ur other daily apps like social media and stuff, altho idk if anyone has done this before...
So basically i realized that everyone keeps talking about different ROMs and Kernels, which ive tried a lot of, but my main problem always was when i started to install the daily apps that I need like Facebook, messenger, whatsapp, and so on. And ive not seen any game booster or anything which can actually improve ram performance enough to play games after installing all these dozens of apps that I need. In android they say that "free ram is wasted ram", but for gaming context its definitely not true.
So my simple solution was this: To dualboot two different ROMs : One for daily usage and one for gaming, So after trying a lot of stuff, what I've done is ive used DualBoot Patcher to boot ABC ROM Oreo with stock kernel (or radon or agni, but sometimes they cause bootloops on some builds) as my primary ROM, and then installed NitrogenOS Nougat + Radon kernel in gaming mode as my secondary ROM in the /dual partition or /data partition if u dont have enough space (I usually install picogapps to have more free space in /system).
And then I install all my games to NOS and also use link2sd to link the data to my SD Card.
This works really really well for me because whenever i want to game, i can just switch to this rom and it plays all games extremely smooth. PUBG works on the highest settings without any lag at all. So thats basically what you need to do.
I have mentioned these two roms because they work very well for me, but it is possible to use any other ROM of ur choice too. But, an oreo rom cannot be installed in the secondary partition so only install nougat roms, or marshmallow roms
I'm providing links to the various things mentioned here:
DualBoot Patcher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/mod-dual-boot-patcher-t3529570
ABC Rom:

NitrogenOS :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-nitrogen-os-11-01-2017-t3536211
For Gapps just use Picogapps or microgapps or anything from Opengapps (whatever u like).
P.S. I'm still a noob at this Android stuff and XDA stuff and ive only tried to share something from my own experience... If there is anything wrong or anything i can improve please let me know :3 Also, all the credits for all the softwares go to their respective developers. This is just a simple guide to help other people who may have faced similar issues like me.
If someone is unable to follow this guide and would like a more in depth and step by step guide to doing this, then please let me know and i will make a post with more details about this

Nono, not NOS Oreo, I used NOS Nougat. NOS Oreo is good as a daily driver for ur primary ROM (or ABC ROM too). For gaming, use NOS Nougat as the secondary ROM.... Nougat roms work well for gaming,

NOS N with Radon is not good for daily usage ? Any problems with using NOS N as the primary ROM ?

It definitely is good for daily usage, but if you install a lot of apps then it tends to slow down a bit. So if u want u can use NOS N as a primary rom too, but if you install only gaming apps on the secondary rom, then it will continue to run very fast. My guide was intended for those like me who tend to install dozens of apps ( even a hundred) that will slow down performance for gaming a lot...

Does miui supports dualboot? Miui is a beast in daily usage with its features but terrible gaming performance

Really miss radon kernel...the best kernel for gaming. Radon kernel with headphone jack fix? Is it possible? Just confused. Im only can use agni kernel because audio jack issue
PS: i found a kernel based on radon with customized option (include jack fix issue), its called "padon kernel", but im only found padon for oreo. Any idea where i can found padon kernel for nougat?

Yes MIUI can work if you use it as the primary ROM. Check out the dualboot thread to see how to make it work

Can you tell how you make Dual Patcher work?
The TWRP you are using, how yo install the ROMS and configure Dual Patcher, because i tried several times and i can't make it work
