Pure Android experience for LG G2

Hello! I've been using Cloudy ROM for a long time but now I feel lack of RAM on my G2 Int. That's why I search for the ROM as close to pure Android as possible. Please, advice me some. Thanks!
P.S. I record a lot of video so tell me what to install in addition to this ROM in order to capture nice photos and videos. Thanks a lot.

Resurrection Remix
Give a try to Resurrection Remix rom, one of the best I've been testing.

Any LG ROM is better than any AOSP/CM ROM for G2. Fact. Stay on LG ROMs.

Both roms have pros and cons.
On AOSP (MM) multitasking is much better.
On LG Stock camera and battery is better.

You can try exodus and cm13 or blisspop.
I have benchmarked on exodus rom , clean install, via antutu benchmark and i get low score than my currently installed lollipop stock with bunch of apps and stuff.
Anyway , for me , if you dont want lots of customization and stuff, or not looking to get a marshmallow on your device, then flash stock lollipop, root, install twrp, install dorimanx kernel, greenify with exposed, and enjoy highest possible battery life.

go for the rom called Google edition 1.5. Flash Dorimanx. Be happy.

I use Dirty Unicorns with Lambda Dominó kernel and right now i have the most high batt/speed i ever had on my G2...

I'd say:
- for lightweight stock experience take somboon's stripped-down rom
- for a modern UX rom, take Ice-x rom. Take this one if You want to focus on photos and videos.
- for an up-to-date original android experience take Dirty Unicrons and Exodus roms. Both are AOSP base, both offer stability and lots of features.
These roms don't offer milions of customisations, but provide a great experience with excelent batterty life. At least for my D802.
I used all of them them as car navigation and did a lot of document photographing for my work.
All 4 are good daily drivers and never failed me.
It is up to You to tune the roms to Your needs. I have found out that both Dirty Unicrons and Exodus don't really need a custom kernel.
However Dorimanx's kernel is highly recommended for stock-based roms.
So I recomend You Ice-X with Dorimanx's kernel, but I don't know which version will work best for You.

I add that the AOSP MM roms are heated much more than the stock. Stock 25ºC-36ºC and 32ºC-44ºC AOSP...
With the lambda kernel and underclocking they improve a bit, but still warming up the phone rather than the stock, especially when using some app like the camera, gps,...
- For AOSP MM and great customization, Resurrection Remix rom [6.0.1_r46][UBER-GCC 4.9][CM13], great rom, + kernel lambda stable, improve overheating.
- For stock rom for my the best is ROM 5.0.2. stock based SRKG2-4-10 (Fast,Stable,Yummy) [3 In 1 ROM with Thai Food Names]

Any rom or kernel better than Stock?

In my experience the best SOT I got was with stock rom. Custom roms and kernels do not give me as good battery as stock rom. Anyone experienced differently? If so, please share Rom+kernel combo.

I would like to know too. But custom kernels as of this date for our devices doesnt seem to live up to their purpose in giving performance and better battery. Most of them only gives you better idle battery management but has problems like slow charging etc. Damn i wish we have huge number of devs like in RN5pro

I am searching for some custom ROM which can be used as a daily driver as this is my primary phone.
Hope our developer bring it

Android Pie ROM is better then stock in my experience. If you want otg support it isn't for you.

AEX 5.8
AEX 5.8 + Darkonah Kernel v3 = Very good battery backup and butter smooth. Also, you can try PBH Kernel

I tried crdroid rom
I was getting better sot than stock
But it was not as smooth after i installed so many apps
As of now it is the best rom and dev is also very active in fixing bugs

Wait for Android p. Hope everything will be fixed in that.

best rom and kernel combo

Just bought my mi a2. Have to say its buttery smooth but as history says, i never stick to the stock software for more than a week. As there is no objecticely best kernel and/or rom out there, what i want to know is the most popular configuration being used for this phone. What kernel and rom are yall using and how well does it hold up in terms of battery life and performance?
Also how many of you have tried the new pie resurrection remix? Is it worth trying right now?

Havoc stock

Hex kernel + pixel experience
And resurrection remix has a pure stock look that kind of bothers me. I've also heard of some other problems on the ROM thread.

Havoc + Hex

Stock Vs custom

Hi, now I use stock rom and sometime it is a little bit laggy. So i would like to try lineage Os.
What is the best version (from 7.0 to 9.0) in terms of battery and stability?

Now I flashed LOS16. I will inform you about it

how is it going with LOS16? is the software experience more snappy than stock marshmellow?

LOS16 works like a charm. It is very speed (no lag)

Thank you! Is the camera software any good? About battery life?

All is good. LOS16 is amazing
Use opencamera instead of LOS camera

Worth to install Custom ROM? Which one do you recommend?

Hello, I am currently on MIUI 11 11.0.4.0. Xiaomi.EU, Android 10
Is it worth to install any custom ROM in terms of battery life and better loading of common apps like browser, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, browser etc.?
I am not looking for rom, which has 2 fps more in PUBG. I am looking for stability, fast and fluid optimized system without any bloatware and preinstalled apps.
Miui 11 is not that bad after debloating, except battery performance. I was on miui 10 , Android 9 before and it was bit faster and with better battery.
So now I don't know if I should install MIUI Eu with Android 9, or try custom ROM.
How are you satisfied with MIUI 11/Custom ROM. Which one would you pick?

I recommend Havoc OS, it's very stable, fast, and user friendly. Only one downside that it's present on all Pixel Based ROMS: Android Auto it's not working..

I am very happy with Havoc OS, its buttery smooth, customizable, good look and fod is better than the other custom ROMs in my experience, also the battery life is tiny bit better than MIUI rom. If you ask me install TWRP, make a backup of your current MIUI rom, install whichever ROM you like and then decide, good luck!

Thanks guys. I already installed latest HavocOS yesterday. It is really smooth, battery is ok, no bloatware. Seems stable for me. The only thing to mention, is that charging is only 2,7A max. On MIUI it was max 3,4A.
