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

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.

Best rom don't exist, if someone is looking for a best rom just need to flash all roms and decide which rom suits his needs better, no one can tell you what rom will work better for you.

I am using Dirty Unicorn currently and I think it is a nice rom with features that I like. Before DU, I was using Turbo rom and that was a nice rom with features that I liked then. Before that (and in between sometimes even now) I switch to Nuclearom because it is not overtly feature-ridden and has a nice balance of everything. I used to use Resurrectionremix as well because that was what I used to like in my previous devices. I thought it was cool too. Also cm13 nightlies and snapshots.
Bottomline: I think when you declare one rom as the best, it is disservice to the developers and users of other roms because it might demotivate them. Because of the choices, choosing rom is subjective and you should find out for yourself which works for you or stick with the stock if none does. I don't think you achieve anything even if one rom is declared the best because there are still users and developers of other roms who don't agree with you. A new user should just stumble upon the one he/she likes best from his/her experiences. Just my 2 cents.

Nuclear Rom 7.1 is best choice for me...

So, according to the current results, the most popular is one of the most buggy roms..
Right. Truly reliable.

Why can i not vote on the poll?

Lineage os 14.1 I think is the stable for daily use battery life up to one day approx

mokee rom-71.1 ham , No bugs, And its branf new nougat

LineageOS 14.1 nightly - using since 1 week almost stable for daily usage but found some Bugs -
1. Cyanogen Camera app got broken after enabling power shutter [but fixed after clearing data]
2. Sound recorder broke [but fixed after clearing data]
3. AOSP Browser is sluggish
4. Settings app gets crashed so often [but doesn't create a big problem]
Apart from this everything works well as of now with very amazing battery life & smooth UI.

Many new roms have come, Can you please update the rom list in PoLL.

What would be really interesting is to compare the features and characteristics of the ROMs. What does each ROM offer. What is unique for each ROM. How much battery life you get per ROM etc etc. Because one shouldnt install and operate all ROMs just to understand what we are talking about

Main features are written in each rom thread. Additional features are added often weekly,so comparison is quite difficult.
You can provide such a test if you want :good:

List of Roms Updated. Share your feedback. Sorry cannot update the Poll!

Quick Question

Hello ppl.
Until now we have some amazing custom roms.
My question is:
What do you prefer?
Until now we have aokp, slim7, viperos, lineageos and xenonhd.
For sure we can use one device tree for all custom roms. We only need to add an slim.mk, viper.mk, xenonhd.mk and such stuff to the device tree's to get a working rom at all.
I found xenonhd yesterday and i thought that viperos is my final rom. But that was finally wrong.
With xenonhd i have full root, full working equalizer for music and such stuff.
So this one is my favourite for now.

Lineage is usually a base for other ROMs , so it would be nice if it got more focus to optimise it
, also many of the phone's major issues (Camera / Performance ) Can use improvements

After trying all ROMs other than xenonhd you mention. I have settled on Slim 7. It works good enough and I do not need the extra features with other ROMs. Plus you also get more storage space which I keep running out of.

Slim7 is my favorite

i would prefer pure AOSP

you should update properly your github and sources, even vendors.
so we can use one for all people./rom and we will make better device tree.

My favourite rom is LineageOS. But I prefer Slim7 or ViperOS too. Other roms have bad performance and toooo many useless customization. I think you should update 5.1/6.0 custom roms. CM for example. Now I still on Lineage because this rom is more stable and smooth.

an update to cm12.1 would also be great as it has some issues also like:
- no option to prevent the phone from waking up in your pocket when using double tap to wake
- cannot connect to camera problem happening sometimes
- unable to change lock screen wallpaper
Those are some quality of life updates fixes to the CM12.1 rom that would make it even better while we wait for the nougat roms to be completely fixed.

But the development of the Oreo version at what point is it? Is anyone occupying it?

lineageos

lineageos 13, stable cm12.1 or cm13 or Miui prefer, can you port?

Chill down, it's only the battery led option It lights the led when the battery goes under 15%, you can disable it from LED options. And I strongly suggest you that you give RR a chance, many users including me believe that it is the best ROM for this device. Good luck!

I'm looking for a good rom for my Moto g4 XT1625 and users mention some issues for example this is the latest post on the RR thread.
Is there no ROM that just works?

The OREO roms can not be considered stable, you will have to choose between a big problem or a small problem.
Do you want a rom that WORKS? (With exceptions)
0. Stock ROM. (Very stable, with no special feature)
1. LOS 15.1 (Some bugs, low features)
2. Havoc-OS. (Some bugs, but many features)

Actually, if you can live with out root, give Omni a try. Apart from some random reboots, everything is smooth. Though I wouldn't recommend rooting since it has impact on the performance, it seems.

Check the rom threads, it's stated in the first posts. Los have at least features compared to most of the other roms cause most roms are based on Los.

7.1.2 aokp, 8.1 omni
The Most Stable Nougat 7.1.2 rom right now is AOKP. AFAIK this is the only Nougat rom that is still updated with security patches. AOKP is smooth and lag-free, and it has lots of useful features and customization.
Every Oreo rom right now is buggy, and will remain buggy until Lenovorola pushes Oreo ota to g4 plus. Most stable Oreo 8.1 rom right now is OMNI. Only 8.1 rom with selinux enforcing and wihtout su binary built-in to my knowledge, which allows banking and payments apps to be registered on the device. OMNI has some unique features too and it is updated regularly on nightly builds.

use stock rom 4.4.2

if you happen to use your phone for a simpler basis, you can try out the /e/ ROM for beloved moto e. it tends to be on the lighter side even on the nougat while keeping the google services, albeit in a lighter form.

I have but I have recently flashed it and found Wifi not working after flashing the latest magisk. You can go with the Slim unofficial build of 2017 its MM based, can find the download link among unreleased builds of Condor. Its quite fast and more suitable for our devices if you want a fully functional and a fast phone.
