Best rom for athene

What do you think the best rom for the moto g4 plus is in terms of battery life and performance. And which rom would give the best battery life for a light user

I tried most of them, and I think stock is best.
I have my setup with magisk: systemless xposed and superuser.

using vanir, that or stock best for me.

RR 5.8.0 is very good in battery life out of the box, I'm using it for 5-7 sot for nearly 2 days(no gaming, no stream,Bluetooth, WiFi, flight mode over night)

For the simplest experience, don't look away from Stock.
Or you can go with RR 5.8.0. That's an awesome ROM for customization freaks.

I tried a few, but Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 is best so far.
Good battery life, rooted out-of-the-box, all features I tried actually worked.
I have a canadian 1641, retail, and have NOT upgraded my modem to the N version yet.

For me the rom has been xenon hd it's great has reasonable battery life around 5 hrs sot and it is smooth AF.

Stock ROM here. Stable, no issues. Systemless rooted SuperSU, added XtremeMusic mod and Dolby Atmos (same thread).

Im also using vanir but after upgrading to latest build battery draining fast.. any idea why this happening..?

Stock, Xposed, and maybe custom Kernel

I agree with stock. A little tweaking and stock is hard to beat.

Of you want a stable daily driver then stock can't be beat. Rooted makes it even better. Tried all the roms and they aren't good enough for daily drivers for me. Until an official rom, PAC was and has always been the second best to stock in my opinion.

I tried XPerience and Resurrection Remix, both for about a week, but I returned to rooted stock with ElementX kernel. That is the most stable setup I have found so far. Best battery life too.

Resurrection Remix hands down, been on it since the day it got released. Yes, it is a feature rich ROM and can let you customize in innumerable ways, and yet won't cost you in terms of performance and battery life.
Motor G4+ has official status to its RR ROM which means support from the Xda thread and RR devs as well.
Having tried quite a few Nougat ROMs on the Moto G4+ forum, can vouch for RR's stability. How about not having a single freeze, boot loop or auto restart since past two weeks I've been on it?
You can check its support thread, you'd have to look hard for reported bugs. In all the years of using custom ROMs, this ought to be one of the rare cases.
And it comes prebaked with kernel based on ElementalX, which means you get not only the kernel but can also tweak and optimize it with EX Kernel Manager, just as you'd do on stock.
As for the battery, I'm getting between 6 and 6.5 hours SOT with moderate - heavy use (streaming Spotify over VPN included)
Also, Xposed for Nougat is still nowhere in sight, which means having to wait still longer for the mods to be updated for 7.0 and 7.1. So, having a highly functional and feature rich ROM that can offer at least some of the functionality and customization of Xposed mods, is where RR wins over other custom ROMs.
Here's my current configuration on my XT1643:
RR 5.8.0 + SuperSU 2.78SR5 + ARISE Deuteronomy alpha with Dolby Atmos add on + Patched Adfree background playback YouTube + NoChromo adfree browser + Greenify Donation (sucks without xposed but nevermind)
Though I've not tried, but users confirm running (some) Substratum themes as well.
Future updates should get CMTE support as well, just in case.
I guess there's still lot more customization that can be done along with finding patched/alternative apps that Xposed mods would take care of other wise.
And yes, MotoG4+ is now officially supported for dualboot patcher, meaning you can boot into different ROMs which significantly expands scope of how you can use your device.
Lastly, all that's mentioned above is from Xda itself which means not only can you trust what you're doing to your phone, in case you do screw up you'd still have good chance to salvage yourself.

Id say stock with your criteria. I have only tried several versions of CM 14.1 myself but if I remember correctly the battery felt as if it was lasting longer on stock 6.0. The experience after dealing with several reflashes and getting used to that process is a bit hard but the system I use now feels allot faster. I can only guess that the better performance comes at the cost of battery usage.

I guess you did not read, search and you're also rude. That's not the way you should request something on XDA.
Did you ever installed a custom rom? If not, please take your time and learn basics BEFORE going further with installing ressurection remix. Otherwise you will run into big trouble.

Ok sorry for that..?

Stock ROM vs Custom ROM

I've yet to set-up my new OP5, as i'm still undecided whether to stick with the stock 4.5.4 ROM, or try 1 of the custom ROMs that are currently available.
Who's stuck to stock, and who's tried/trying a custom with a kernel?
Stock ROM = ROM that was supplied with the OP5
Custom ROM = ROM that has been shared on forums by developers. etc.

As off now I am on stock but will surely be going over custom ROM and custom kernel. Custom ROM and Kernel surely gives some extra benefits over stock(battery backup and many other features.)
So just test the phone for any HW defects or any for a week or so and you are good to root.

As far as I'm concerned, stock is a custom ROM. Not sure which option on the poll to pick...

By custom, i'm refering to custom ROMs that XDA users have shared on the forum.
Stock ROM = ROM that was supplied with the OP5
Custom ROM = ROM that has been shared on forums by developers. etc.

Most of what I needed custom ROMs for in the past can be accomplished with oxygen OS now so I probably wont be installing anything aside from OEM updates until they stop supporting this device, if I still have it at that time. And when I do, it's just to try out whatever the latest OS is so I'm familiar with the new features when I do upgrade.
I think the most I will do for now is root, and TWRP but I'm still up in the air about that.

I think Oxygen OS works really nice at the moment, i will stay stock for now.
Updates will come rapidly from Oneplus thus the custom ROMS are not worth it for me at the moment.
Once Lineage or RR Remix arrives i will switch to custom ROMS

I'm on FreedomOS and it's very faster then original OxygenOS... I like this for now better than the original one

I've had my OP5 since yesterday and it's been fantastic and I haven't felt a need to use a custom ROM at all. I also usually add a custom kernel to I can change sounds and increase vibration sensitivity (may still do a kernel). I'm getting just over 9 hours of SOT with everything stock. I mean hell I used Google Maps today for 1 hour straight and it only used 6% battery!? My Nexus would have lost at least 18-20%.
When it's all said and done, I'm sure I'll get the itch to ROM and kernel this phone, but this is truly the first phone I don't feel a need to right now. Of course I rooted the phone and applied TRWP the first 5 min I had the phone haha. That goes without saying for my root apps like TB, Accubattery and Nova Launcher.

Can anyone check if the jelly effect is still there after they flashed the custom roms?

that's exactly what i would do

I really like the stock ROM. Coming from Samsung and LG phones, the OP5 is already running the type of ROM I'd likely flash to those phones if I could. I did root it though, and I'll likely stay this way unless something really compelling comes up, or OP stops updating it.

Using stock for now. I personally see no point in switching to custom until AOSP/LOS based ROMs begin appearing. It's still going to be Oxygen OS with basically the same features if I'd switch now.

As of now i'm sticking with stock. The phone is still young and i expect software updates to happen more frequently. As soon as the ROM's have more time to be developed and mature and OnePlus slows down the updates I will probably switch. As of now all the ROM's and recovery's are still in development and I am choosing to wait till it smooths out a little.

I have tried AICP, Tipsy OS, Mokee, Lineage, Hydrogen os. I would say Stock is the best. My present setup.
Hydrogen Os 3.5.0
Root via Chainfire Super su
Official TWRP
decrypted
Android o emoji's
A few tweaks.
Enjoying every bit.
May switch if CMTE (CM theme engine) comes to lineage Is, not a fan of the present theme engine.
Rooted, because wanted to get rid of the annoying ads and have some tweaks

I'm on xXx 2.0 Stock ROM and it works great. I will wait until everything is working to move to custom rom.

FreedomOS is a very good rom.
Also with Boeffla, Magisk.

May I ask, how is your idle drain on H2OS? What did you tweak to improve battery life?
I'm on H2OS too (so far unrooted), and idle drain is crazy... I even uninstalled Google Play Services (using Yalp Store to get Google Play Apps). Now Android System and Android OS kill my battery haha.

Stock OOS 4.5.6
Rooted with Magisk
Pixel Launcher, Android Messages, Google Dialer
Works great!

Stock rom with dirty core, amazing, while dirty unicorns is not released

Which rom are you using and why?

Hi guys,
Thanks very simple I just wanna know what do you think about roms.
My data:
Rom: Stock 6.0.1
Why?: Because I think it's the best in terms of performance

LineageOS. I like it because of its stability and fast updates. It's very close to stock with no unnecessary add-ons.

Latest stock because battery life, smoothness and picture quality.

I just got a used G4 XT1625. I'm staying with stock Nougat until Lineage 15.0 is stable. It works fine for my needs. I used LOS 14.1 on my G3 and that was fine too.

InvictaOS is best in my opinion.
Currently on : 7.1.2 but, soon to be Oreo, may be in a day or two.
Stable, one of the best performing, eduqate amount of features, and fast updates!!

Its all about the personal Choice! 1st of all understand what do you need! Stock or Custom!
The best custom ROM, out of the ROMs which I have tried is Invicta... The beta version of O is out already so you can try that, and it is being updated every week (Almost! Great Dev we have!)
If you want stock, you should use 7.0 with Vegito kernel! It is very stable and gives you good battery backup! Now nothing can match stock, but it does miss out on features so once u have Vegito, u can root via magisk (its my personal choice) or any other, and then install Xposed which is now out Officially and works perfectly with stock. Adds a lot of features and good thing? You can always take stock OTAs as they come along! (you can even try systemless Xposed, I am not sure it will work or not, but it is available)
So its your choice! I have tried both of them and works perfectly! I stay on custom ROM since, it gives me one of the most imp feature that is notification LED, And more ! So, its your personal choice!
Hope this helps!

Same here Stock 6.0.1 with xposed and supersu

InvictaOS because @Silesh.Nair is an awesome developer and I really trust his judgment on what he finds best to put in a rom. And it's stable with features of my liking.

Anyone know which is better for the moto g4 the pixel experience or resurrection remix thanks

It's really more of a personal choice. Try them both out and see which one you like more.
I'm on AICP 64-bit.

Ty ragarianok I'm looking for something to use as a daily driver and I've heard mixed reviews on 64 bit saying its not as good as 32 on our device

Pixel experience has almost no customization options while resurection remix has hundreds(compared). That's the first question you should ask yourself: do I want less or more?

Stock or Custom Rom?

Hello friends, I know this is a very common question but, which one do you prefer and why? hope I don't bother anyone.
Also, Im thinking about installing a Custom Rom, but I can't decided which rom should I install, please give me some options!
Thank you!

Hi, right now I prefer use the rom stock because the battery life is really better than the customs roms.
I tried pixel experience and for me was the best rom, the gcam it's amazing, the app has some little bugs but I liked that rom. However, the battery is not good like the stock.
Right now I am using the stock rom because I want the official update to 8.1 oreo from moto.

Been using Nitrogen Os as my daily driver for months. My battery life is on par with stock. My performance is better with NOS. My Camera is tenfold better in NOS. Basically everything works better on latest NOS. Highly recommend that Rom...probably the most under rated Rom for G5 Plus.

is worth to flash a custom rom

Hello guys, I would like to know from you if its worth it to flash a customrom on my mia1. I've been using it since one year now , and i have keept it stock, just the camera2api for gc.
And over all i've been happy with it.
And have 0 experience with A/B partition phones ,my previews phone was nexus 6.
Is it easy to flash twrp and than a custom rom ?
Any suggestions would be apreciated :victory:

Depends what extra feature you seek.
I use stock happily with xposed

I'll probably use a custom ROM once Xiaomi drops update and support for Mi A1.

Thats what i've been thinking too , its not that i need any more features , im used to stock android.

In my opinion, nowadays smartphones already have many cool features and don't really require custom mods, like root or custom roms, however there are still a few but pretty strong reasons why you would like to flash a custom ROM:
- You'll always have the latest Android OS and security patches without having to wait like on stock ROM
- You'll have a wide range of customization possibilities so you can set your Mi A1 just on the style you want
- You'll also have the possibility of using custom Kernels which can give you better performance, specially in gaming or if you're more of a battery guy, they'll focus more into battery, depending on what you're looking for
- You'll be able to root your device which also opens many possibilities (mainly using root apps) but it's also pretty useful specially with that magisk modules thing which allow you to install things like the stock Mi A1 camera on custom ROMs, apps like Viper4Android (which is an equalizer with premium sound quality), etc.
Last but not least, keep in mind that the stock ROM already is very smooth and has a great battery life, so don't expect custom ROMs to be better than that, from my experience I can tell that custom ROMs are pretty close or equal, but I haven't found a ROM that gives better battery life than stock (maybe there are some or maybe it just needs some kernel tweaking, however I'm not really into kernel tweaking lol)
My advice: If you're looking for latest updates or customization, go ahead and flash a custom ROM, every other thing can be done on stock, keep in mind that the stock ROM can also be rooted or flashed with a custom kernel
I'm actually using NitrogenOS with Moun kernel and I couldn't be more satisfied, ROM feels stable, smooth and has a fairly decent amount of customization along with latest Android 9.0 and latest security patches without having to wait for them like on stock ROM.
Aaaaand also keep in mind that if after trying custom ROMs you don't like them, you can always come back to stock, like if you've never flashed a custom OS, so I would try it out, if you want I can guide you through the whole process on telegram

Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer:
Xiaomi seem to not be that good with speed & quality of updates. I haven't experienced many bugs myself but just the fact how slow updates are compared to custom ROMs and the fact that Magisk doesn't work properly on Stock made me just forget about it and flash a Custom ROM.

The question has to be asked.... What do you want you don't already have?
If a custom rom offers a feature you need then yes do it otherwise I have to ask why would you want to?

I guess rooting would be enough then. You can change both with magisk (or build prop settings afaik).
I liked LOS to try out something new but came back to stock. Now I am thinking of rooting again for bt volume.
Another great reason is camera2 for google camera. Way better than stock IMO

Better flash custom roms after xiaomi drops the updates. Like after a year Pie updates.
