How many of you would like a ROM like this?

Hi guys,
Like many of you, I've tested lots of different ROMs. After all, that's the beauty of owning a Google Phone.
However, I can't seem to find ONE ROM that fits all my needs. I was wondering how many of you would like something like this:
- Stock-based
- MIUI notification bar toggles (Cyanogen's would also be fine though)
- Battery Percentage Icon
- Themable (AOSP)
- Compatible with most kernels out there (so that we can choose whichever we want)
- No copyrighted things from other devices (ie. ringtones, apps, etc.)
I've yet to find a ROM that suits all these needs. Cyanogen is not stable or smooth enough to my liking, when compared to the stock experience. MUIU is beautiful, but a bit heavy and not really optimized for SAMOLED (even the darker theme uses very little pure black). Most of the other ROMs don't have notification bar toggles. The ones that do are based on Cyanogen or MUIU, so it's not much different from using one or the other.
The closest ROM I've seen to this is Amethyst, but it's been discontinued by the developer, and it's a bit limited on the notification toggle options. Heck, MIUI is perfect with so many toggles all easily accessible from the notification bar.
Does anyone else feel that way? Maybe if enough people would be into this, perhaps a developer could feel it's worth doing something like that. Or am I alone in my wishes?
Regards!

I too have went through a ton of roms on this phone, and the one that i keep coming back too is the NSCollab series of roms (currently on 1.0.43). it has the stock launcher so it is really smooth and has the app drawer that i love, also has notification buttons and other settings from cyanogen. You can also flash the theme chooser to have a few different looks to the rom, but the best thing i have like about it is that its really stable and fluid

Zuluzulu might be what you are looking for. Its really cool looking and stable. The batterylife is incredible, and it is clockable to 1.4 ghz since it use the netarchy kernel.
CM even the latest RC 1 consumes all my battery in less than 24 hours.

You can flash the systemui.apk that I made over a stock rom and get the notification toggles and still be able to theme the phone but be ware if you flash a theme copy the drawables to your system ui or loose the toggles. Its in nexus a themes and apps

What's the best rom for the nexus 6p ?

Hi everyone i want to know what is the best rom for my nexus 6P ? With a good battery life, fast and clear with options for personalisation ?

Each rom is different and unique in its own way, and whether a rom is the "best" is strictly subjective. If you want good battery life and extremely stable, with a decent amount of personalization, go rooted stock. Personally, Pure Nexus has given me the best balance of battery life and features.

Custom ROMs have always been subjected from a user to another, depending upon their taste and requirements. I have used most ROMs available here at XDA-Developers. And after thorough testing and experience, I am now sticking to Pure Nexus. It is lightweight with a decent list of customization options, and layers support too. You can give it a try.
P.S: It also has a CM theme engine variant, if you are not a fan of RRO Layers.

Also, glad to welcome you to the community. Your 6P will be the best Android phone you've ever owned up to this point, and will probably remain so until Google release the next few Nexii

Yes Pure Nexus works rather nicely

Try some like mentioned plus sinless, chroma, etc...happy flashing!

What custom rom has the most features and customisations/mods

As the title says, i'd like to hear your opinion on that. I had a bit of a look around the forum and can't really come to a winner.

dirty unicorn will probably have the dopest features and mods. If you want stability, pure nexus will probably be the best.

Pure Nexus is probably the most popular, I run it and it's rock solid with great customisation.

Pure Nexus gets better battery life and is rock solid and has as many customizations as DU. I like the fact that it includes CM Theme Engine as I like it better than Layers.

Just installed pure nexus and it really is amazing. Even better with some slight coloring tweaks with gravitybox such as navbar buttons. It's also nice that the recommended gapps include the stock camera which i really like.

Best Nougat ROM for OnePlus 2

Hello xda members! I upgraded from the moto g 1st gen lord this phone was amazingly supported by developpers so does this OnePlus 2! As the titles says I am looking for the smoothest rom for the OnePlus 2 based on your usage. On my moto g my favorite roms were:
-Resurrection Remix
-Lineage OS
-AOSP
-AOSP extended
I liked RR for the customisation but I prefer smoothness. I wonder what is the smoothest rom for our lovely
OnePlus 2 :laugh:
Thanks!

looking for one as well. I've tried lineage but there are some random reboots (all over the place) so i then switched to halogen OS. Everything was cool and stuff until i tried to use my data. It wasn't working. i therefore went into the apn settings and there i see : "apn settings not available for this user"...
so im stuck with dumb dns changing apps to get it to work.
But overall halogen is way better (more customization, aosp...)

Try XenonHD rom. I use it for a month on my op2 and it performs really great, i am satisfied!
i use in combo with fraco kernel and i stop looking for other roms, this one got me. xD

try mokee os it have amazing battery backup with substratum theme engine inbuilt....its inbuilt app hibernation system Aegis provides better battery backup then other roms...

There's no such thing as the best ROM. It's all from a point of view. You may like a feature that the second guy doesn't making priorities different. Rating ROMs like this can hurt the hard working developers sometimes please refrain

I've tried WAAAAAAAAAY too man ROMs, and I can give a pretty good overview of some of my favs
1) HalogenOS -
Pros: great performance, stable af, updates about every 2 weeks, a focus on stability and bug squashing, extreme battery life
Cons: Not many features, a focus on stability means that features are slow to be added.
2)XenonHD -
Pros: Lineage-based means plentiful features, nightly updates, decent performance
Cons: OTA doesn't support OpenRecoveryScript, updates are extremely frequent (might be a con?), included apps seem to be in a constant state of flux
3) Cosmic OS -
Pros: Features! (like, all of them), fairly stable ROM, good battery life, good performance
Cons: Performance is a bit lacking in comparison to some other ROMs, likely due to the insane number of features

Your ROM sweetie, I like to try them out, and am currently searching for the ROM that is best for me, I don't expect anyone to change their ROM because what I want will be different than what they or their target wants. TBH I am mainly just waiting for Lineage to implement some form of theming, although I am wagering they are going to switch to OMS

No I was thinking myself to slow down. Daily / alternate days is too fast for a grown ROM. Either way; yes they're not gonna implement theme engine in this release probably because after a few months we're all gonna start hyping up for O. Maybe they'll​merge OMS then. Theme engine is probably dead because it's unheard of and OMS is the new thing.

That and the only real benefit to CMTE was that it could be used without root and without reboots, back when it was CMTE vs. Layers, but OMS/Substratum has addressed both of those, and has better performance. The only reason to make a LOS theme engine for 14+ is to maintain fragmentation in the Android theming community. Obviously, this is not a good thing

Try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-customized-lineageos-t3578442
Its LineageOS With OMS and Majisk built in.

Try Roms outside XDA
I found Dirty Unicorns to be the smoothest with best battery backup and with good features..Its the snappiest nougat ROM I have tried till now..and as nearly all ROMs have OMS support, no doubt it also has the required commit ..Haven't found any bugs uptil now..(1 weeks usage)..

I am appreciated that you liked this thread.?

Are you seriously, seriously not gonna mention the horrible notification system on MIUI? MIUI doesn't even have single finger swipe to expand notifications. How stupid is that?
My replies in red...

Simple Difference in Between
Miui 8 vs Custom Roms i.e~ lineageOS,AOSP
Starting with Miui 8.
Miui 8.2.5.0 has a lot of features.
Features it has with stock are:-
PROS-
1-Copy OTP (Yes because it is so hard to just type the damn OTP by looking at the heads up notification)
5-Inbuilt theme option (Tons of themes) (No match to substratum)
6-Dual Notification Panel option (If only the notification implementation wasn't stupid in MIUI, this would be useful)
7-Fast responsive Stock Apps. (Uhhhh)
7-One hand mode (available in custom roms)
9-inBuilt Cleaner +with Battery Saver (Are you seriously saying a Clean Master + DU Battery Saver hybrid clone is a PRO?)
12-Quickball for quick navigations (RR PIE says "Hi". Hey, that rhymes!)
13-Mi cloud for direct System Data syncing. (Yes, let's give up our data to a random cloud)
15-Lost mode i.e either theft or Lost (Android Device Manager says hi)
16-Special Permission Manager (you mean the one which constantly kills accessibility permissions?)
CONS:
8-Bootloader Unlocking method. (Oh hey, atleast this list isn't biased)
CUSTOM ROMS:
CONS-
3-Bootloops usually occurs. (Only if you don't know what you're doing)
4- Too pure roms like AOSP has least features compared to Resurrection Remix. (Then use Resurrection Remix)
5-Though lineageOS uses Substratum in N builds but yes Substratum isnt user friendly and has minor bugs in it. (Select the things you need and tap "Build and Enable". How hard is it?)
6-Again the problem with some app compatibilities. (What?)
7-Doesnt have features like Copy Otp,Long screenshot, Quickball,Applock in memory,call recorder and many more features that are already provided in Miui 8. (Doesn't need Applock in memory because unlike MIUI, Custom ROMs can actually keep apps in memory)
If you are a Xiaomi user then I must advice you to stick with Miui 8. (I facepalmed so hard, my brain suggested me to flash MIUI for a second here)

What ??
Most of the time (hey, lets say 99.9% of the time) Its the stock builder who prematurely stops development update.
Development of custom Roms, in contrary, continues long after

Aaand he didn't even get my comment hahahahaha

Mwah,
Development is really these days more of the same just another name tag.
Tons of stock roms with tons of the same options ( no offense)
Back in the days every custom rom was really different, other look and feel. New options, new features.
Some roms had even a major ui overhaul.

But now what is your opinion over Todays custom roms.
I have seen so many custom roms with some minor tweaks with base cm or Aosp.
Just change the name make some tweak and then rename it to hydrogenOS or Jellyblast.
I am telling that Miui 8 is best for Xiaomi users.
Atleast i have a Redmi 3s which is friendly only with Miui 8.
No other Roms are stable enough.
Back in 2014 the galaxy y had a taste of custom rom like hyperion,jellyblast, kernel advancement.
Also what about almighty Nexus 5? Tons of Development.

Nope, because I hate bloatwares and spywares. Thanks.
