Hi. I've got a G5 plus on the way and wanted to ask if the stability/battery life of the Nougat custom roms is as good as the stock rom, and if so, which is the most stable?
I gather the camera quality on custom roms is not as good as stock?
I've also read complaints about the low speaker volume on this phone, is it something that can be fixed with a custom rom/rooted stock rom?
if there are any other advantages/disadvantages I've missed out please let me know, thanks!

Hey there!
I'm pretty new here. Anyway, I was wondering if I should go ahead with installing the stock Lollipop update for Zenfone 5 or should I use a custom ROM, say, ResurrectionRemix? I've been checking on this for a while now and found out that the Stock Lollipop ROM has battery and heating issues whereas ResurrectionRemix has GPS, FM and slight stability issues. Also, camera not working after unlocking bootloader seems to be a common issue. So I'm not sure which one to install. I love both the interface and style anyway, though I've always had a thing for the native Adroid Lollipop style.. Could you also suggest some other nice ROMs out there?
If you want to try something new, go for Custom ROMs.
Hi all. I was wondering about the quality of the camera on custom roms. Is it close to stock? Much worse or maybe even better? Thx for answering.
It's the same quality for every custom ROM based on stock ROM (TouchWiz)
It's worst on every AOSP-based ROMs (LinOS, RR, etc...)
Hey guys I have a quick question. I'm thinking about buying a 6P and I can't help but to be paranoid about all of the bootloop issues I'm hearing about. The thing is, it seems that this only happens with the official update(at least that's what I think). If I buy the phone(used) and flash a custom rom, will that be a way to avoid this bootloop issue?
Only some models are experiencing the bootloops issues (I don't know what about the Official PA), otherwise, you'll have a great number of some of the best custom roms (Resurrection remix, purenexus, lineage...) & kernels (elementalX, franco, flash...) and you can choose what's best for you.
I can also say, that the N6P has an amazing camera for taking great photos, and is just a great android phone.
Personnaly I'm on the android O developer preview 3 since more than a mounth, and I can say that it's running great with a good battery life and smooth animations.
Ok thanks. I guess I'll flash the custom rom as soon as I get it just to be on the safe side. The camera caught my attention. It's basically why I'm upgrading from my Oneplus One.
I'm wondering what everyone's go to rom is. I'm new to this phone and I'm looking for a reliable rom.
I'm on the stock due to the warranty, but i can suggest a rom based on AOSP code for a pure android experience. Less extra features more stability you get. Probably i'd choose the AOSiP, try several roms until you'll find the right for you.
Debloated stock rom, rooted with ElementalX kernel. Not as many options as with custom roms, but everything just works. I find with most custom roms the camera quality is lacking.
Going with stock rom, mainly cause of the camera quality.
Camera quality has been fine On aosp roms, I'm running viper right now with no issues

There is a fully working stock Moto Camera zip available as of yesterday that is working on custom ROMs. Just an FYI. It is on the g5 plus app forum.
So according to you, which is the best & stable custom rom for Moto G5+? and which rom you are currently using?

It's really astonishing that every week a thread with that question pops up here, I think at the moment we have three or four of these. Why has everyone to open a new thread to ask a question that can't be answered?
The only valid answer is: Try them out.
There is no "best" custom ROM, if there would be one we only needed that, all other ROMs would be obsolete.
But to give you a direction:
Imho the stock ROM is the best in terms of battery and performance.
All Oreo ROMs have bugs, some just small ones, others bigger ones. Examples are camera, video recording or high battery consumption.
Also there are some big problems if you want to return to stock, losing voLTE, losing 4G or IMEI are well known in this forum.
I wouldn't flash any Oreo ROM before Lenovo releases stock Oreo, the bugs can be sorted out and there will be safe ways to return to stock if you wish.
If you still want to flash a custom ROM Aosp Extended 4.6 based on Nougat is a good one but don't forget to make a nandroid backup before you flash anything.
This is only my personal opinion, as written above to find "your" best ROM you'll have to test them.
