Am tired of waiting for Oreo update for my Moto g5 s plus.
Planning to install custom rom.
Please suggest me a good stable rom.
Resurrection Remix, Lineage, Liquid Remix, AEX, PE (once the update is out).
All the Oreo roms I have had tried, [most] eventually showed some kind of bug. Majority were just nuisance types, but a couple were more than irritating. It's probably because they are built without true 8.* firmware for our device. Personally, I wish I would have waited, because once you go to Oreo, there are major issues with going back. At the very least, be sure to do a complete back-up, but especially EFS and save it externally.
That is too sad news, so we have to wait still the official release

So now that we have had FP/LAF working on MM ROM's for a few months now, it seems that the ROM development has slowed down...
So far I've tried the following in this order:
CyanPop by Taker18 - The original best working MM ROM in my opinion, from before FP/LAF was working. This thing was solid and made me begin enjoy my OnePlus 2!
BeanStalk by Taker18 - Ran for for about a month, was great but got bored and wanted to switch it up.
CM13 by Seraph08 - This is what I'm currently running.
I'm kind of bored with the Seraph CM13 ROM and it's time to do full wipe as my battery life isnt as great as it should be.. But I can't decide what to try. I was about to flash TEMASEK'S CM13 yesterday but then hesitated when I saw that they were retiring Temasek after CM13...
How are the OOS based ROM's? I was never a fan of OOS as CM13 is where I'm comfortable but I'm looking to spice it up for a bit.. I'd almost be willing to even give MIUI a go but don't really want to fall back to a 5.1.1 based rom with no FP/LAF...
What are people using these days? and what are the opinions on the current state of OP2 development? I get a sense that it has somewhat stalled most likely related to the delays in the OOS 3.0 OTA..
Use Exodus.
In my opinion the best rom so far.
I would say that your list there was pretty close once upon a time, but I really don't think it is accurate anymore. In my opinion, I would say that the most popular ROM for the OPT would be Seraph08's CM13. Everyone likes stock CM. Then I would say Resurrection Remix, and then Beanstalk and Exodus for a tie at third. I would suggest you try Exodus if you don't want many bloat features. I got over having tons of features. I used to only use Resurrection Remix, but then I decided to try some other ROMs. So far, my favorites have been Exodus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/orig-development/rom-exodus-android-6-oneplus2-t3333929), Purity (https://plus.google.com/communities...5/stream/8da711ee-6e10-450e-94db-b0ad895d3234), and Validus (https://plus.google.com/communities...8/stream/d0341921-196f-4f6c-8c61-10e6a0c36eb6). The best ROM to keep an eye on in my opinion would be halogenOS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/orig-development/rom-halogenos-oneplus-2-t3377799). Happy flashing!

there r lots of YouTube video for that .. watch them you will get to know
The biggest feature of Nougat based ROMS, or more accurately CM14 and LineageOS14 based ROMS, is inconsistent instability.
Random things mess up at random times.
Every single 7.1.x based ROM I have tried for Z00T (almost all of them) have gotten pretty annoying sometimes. They are all almost there, but still short of fully stable. There's tons of really nice features, especially in OctOS and Resurrection Remix, but the random crashes of random apps has just become too much for me to tolerate.
I applaud the devs who have put in their time to give us these ROMs. I have a coworker who is an Android dev, and he says the problem is really with Nougat, not the devs. I believe him 100%, especially after reading articles that Pixel users have had with stock Nougat versions.
I am, as I type this, in the process of backing up apps and SD card data so I can revert to a Marshmallow ROM.
If you don't mind random app crashes, and mind you it's not all the time but you never know when to expect it, the 7.1.x ROMS are worth trying out. Aside from the bad times, Nougat is really nice.

I'm also facing similar issues on my zenfone selfie
Is there any stock ASUS MM ROM which is pre-rooted and can be flashed via TWRP or which MM custom rom is most stable? I tried RR MM rom, but it was also unstable..

Try HalogenOS, I found it very stable and well optimized for our devices
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.

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.

Anyone can confirm if zoom 2x and PhotoEditor, for Camera, are working on CUSTOM Roms ?

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

I know there are some common bugs, but I know they'll be fixed soon or later. Meanwhile I just want to try Oreo in my phone with an stable ROM. Thanks in advance!
I bet everyone will name a different rom, but I would suggest Omni Rom, because the developer is pretty quick with fixes. If you don't like Omni, you could try unofficial Lineage 15.1 32bit.
I would definitely not use a 64 bit version, because of the memory leak problems, at least not until we have Motorola's Oreo Kernel sources and drivers.
Personally I wouldn't use any Oreo rom as my daily driver, especially since stock rom has very good performance and battery backup.
I was using AICP but the dev is currently busy with other things, so it hasn't had a working update in a while. RR is pretty good as well. However, if you're not willing to deal with memory leaks, Omni is the way to go.

I used RR for a week, but the memory leaks were just too bad. H e c c, every single time someone would send me something on Messenger and the chat bubble would appear, my phone would freeze. And while it is true that Omni doesn't suffer from memory leaks, I found it very laggy even after trying clean flashes of multiple builds over time. And yes, Night Light and LiveDisplay were off. I was quite happy with Nitrogen OS at some point, but, if I'm right, it wasn't updated in a while. I'm currently trying a clean flash of AOSiP and I am quite surprised, the ROM is extremely fluid and, even after getting all of my apps from RR back up and running, the RAM didn't get eaten up yet. So I would recommend giving it a try, but every ROM has different features, and everyone has different tastes. So you'll need to do some testing until you find one to suit your preferences. Good luck!
Hello, I own a Moto G4 Plus that I have tested various ROMs on and have had experiences with flashing ROMs on Samsung devices, so a friend of mine asked if I could help him out too. So how stable are the Oreo ROMs? Would there be one that could be called the "best" one? Would it be worth for him to switch to a custom ROM or should he stay on the stock one?
Oreo ROMs are very good the best for me are LineageOS and Resurrection Remix OS
Just my personal experience but...I´m yet to see a Custom Rom for J5 2016 that matches Stock Rom. Used all of them from Lineage to Dot OS and although they are pretty stable, performance is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes the phone works like a rocket and sometimes you nedd to reboot it to make it usable again. I have kids and take a lot of photos, so the shutter lag in custom roms is a great con, for me.
This may vary from user to user, which GApps you use, which apps you use, so I would give it a try anyway. From the ones I used, Lineage is by far the best.
