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

I am on stock miui brother. First root your device, install flashify and flash twrp from flashify. You are done.

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:

Hello Community,
I am currently on OxygenOS 3.5.6.
Since this is my only device, I would like to try a stable custom ROM with minimal to no bugs with VoLTE (Jio) working.
I have been following Oneplus community forums and came across issues where in there are frequent network drops and bootloops on certain roms. As this is my daily driver, I don't get much time to experiment with various ROM.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Cosmic OS
For a daily driver give slim6 a shot, its smooth, boots up as quick as OOS, currently getting ~5hrs SOT so battery is quite good, and best of all its xposed compatible
If you want to compare options, I also found H2OS to be rock stable as well, I personally just wanted to change after using it as my daily driver for over a year LOL.
P.S. I'm not 100% about VoLTE on slim6 so best double check that

I gave Cosmic a try. It's a nice ROM but I didn't like the stock phone dialer and camera.
Is it possible to flash OxygenOS 3.5.6 camera app and phone app on this? I really like the phone app from OxygenOS 3.5.6
Citrus was good but the fingerprint lag, persistent HD notification and Google Assistant setup every time trying to initiate it made me switch back to OOS 3.5.6.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I've tried HydrogenOS in the past. Don't like the UI.
Looking for a stable, bug free, without fingerprint lag, nougat based daily driver material.
Try AospExtended from the xda forums.it will fullfill all your's needs.

You can use the latest pixel phone dialer. It is much better than the one present in custom roms. Just install it and set it as the default phone app. Alternatively, you can flash the full open gaaps or using aroma installer
First flash H2OS and then lineage-14.1-20170214-nightly-oneplus2-signed.zip with the VoLTE firmware fix. Perfectly stable for me. It does reboot once in a few days, which I think is acceptable.
Try Xenon HD! It's super smooth compared to all other ROMs!
All 7.x roms currently suffer from random reboots and network drops. I tried a few roms and switched back to OOS .
Oneplus need to release the kernel sources for 3.5.x in order for custom ROM makers to uptake and fix this issue.
I am looking for a custom ROM for my lenovo k3 note device I have used 4-5 custom ROM which has some minor or major bugs.
Can anyone tell which the best custom ROM for lenovo k3 note with least bugs and good battery backup.
Any help is really appreciated.

xenon hd is the best one yet
here are the cons of the roms i tried
by far i have used many roms and the serious errors i encountered are given below
1. Resurrection remix --- proximity sensor makes the screen turn off when making a call and it doesnt turn it back on.
--- the gesture setting doesn't get saved,after reboot default config of gestures is loaded.
2. PIXEL farelwell --- WEBVIEW is not working,which results in Internet connection getting lost when browsing
3.Xenon hd --- by far the best i have tried.,doesn't have a keyboard build in first boot ,need to download one.
other prob with xenon hd is that after a short time use ,,,the reboot option makes the phone to go to shutdown mode and it wont turn on until you have power cycled
Best custom ROMs for Lenovo K3 note
1. RR - for good performance and customization for low battery life
2.lineageOS - good battery backup and performance
3.Blend OS - for good performance and battery life ok
4.cyanogen mod - good battery backup and good performance
5.ghost glitch v6 - installed more system apps but good battery life and performance
Hope this helps
I'm a long time using XOSP Nougat and out of flashing scene and i'm thinking of using Oreo on my device now.
Which Oreo rom is running more stable and smooth even with a good number of user apps installed?
I'm using LineageOS 15.1 (latest build).It works well. It's more responsive now compared to Nougat (thanks to Android Go). Battery life is the same, although if you modify the cpu governor to make it less likely to go at high frequencies you can expect a bit more.

You could try reflashing your ROM from TWRP or any other recovery installed . Make sure you wipe Dalvik Cache / Cache before you flash the ROM again .
Well as far as I have tested in my Xperia SP(C5302) , my top-picks for Oreo ROMs are:
1. XenonHD - It is the fastes Oreo ROM on Xperia SP I have tested yet . I did face a bit of heavy battery draining , but after flashing a custom kernel , the combo was perfect!
2. Lineage OS - I did not face a single issue with this ROM yet and the battery backup is also good.
3. Cosmic OS - Its based on AOSP and is pretty smooth

what custom kernel you flashed?
It's been a while since I was here...
Great to see the active development still, I'm picking up a SP next week & was wondering what ROM is best for smoothness & speed, but with battery life in mind, I'm not looking for flagship performance of course, but I want the quickest & smoothest definitely, up to now I'm hearing it's XenonHD is this correct?,
Also the ROM needs to have AdrianDC's music light effects implemented, this is a absolute must as this is something that was missing in the earlier years of development when I first had the SP, link attached below https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73049970&postcount=399
Thanks in advance guys for any help & recommendations
LineageOS 15.1 has the music light effects, and it runs good for me.

Lineage OS 15.1 is too laggy and sluggish.
Go with Adrian's AOSP Oreo. It has light effects included, does fine with Pico GApps. Smooth and good battery life.
Edit: After flashing the 27/02 build, it runs very good and smooth. Maybe it was a dodgy flash.
