As the title states, I was wondering if anyone has been developing nougat based roms that I can use? I would rather have the ability to have twrp installed to the second partition and an easier way to root since nougat is somewhat lax in the way you root it. Maybe an unofficial build of lineage? I'm not ready to try out Oreo out yet.

I've unlocked and rooted. I have several questions atm:
1. Is Nougat stable or recommended?
2. Can I use exposed framework/Viper4android on Nougat?
3. Can I flash back to Mashmellow after flash nougat and don't like it?
Thank you in advance.

1. Yes, for the most part.
7.0 ROMs are based on official 7.0 source and are very stable. 7.1 ROMs are also generally stable, but they aren't based on stable source for the 6p because google hasn't released it yet. Though it seems official 7.1.1 will be coming to the 6p next week.
There is a bit of a transition period right now as ROMs are going from 7.0 > 7.1.
2. Last a heard is that Xposed isn't ready for Nougat. But I'm not sure about Viper. I do not use either one.
3. Yes.

Thanks. I just found that viper4android can work on Nougat. I am still thinking to flash mashmellow and wait for Nougat to go mature.
Flash resurrection ROM you won't be disappointed
I currently have a Moto X Pure with ResurictionRemix (7.1.2) on it, with the last version of stock being the last Marshmallow update. Would there be any benefit to update the phone to stock Nougat (updating the bootloader, modem, etc.) and install another custom rom onto the phone, or will that cause issues (unable to install a custom rom). Thank you for your time.

So not that it would cause issues if you upgraded to 7.0 then to a custom ROM... It literally isn't possible. Honestly if I were you I'd stick on custom ROMs. Going back to stock to upgrade to stock 7.0 will be a huge pain in the ass if you ever wish to go back to custom ROMs again. Honestly, not really a benefit to stock 7.0, and I wouldn't recommend especially if you wanted to change back again if you didn't enjoy stock 7.0.
So what I'm saying is you can't upgrade to stock 7.0, then to a custom ROM, as none are compatible with the new bootloader introduced with stock nougat. And to revert to stock 6.0 from stock 7.0 is kinda sketchy...just read around the help forum for this phone here to know what I mean
Sorry for the formatting, hope that makes sense
There's only 1 custom ROM (check the Lineage 14.1 thread) that works with the 7.0 firmwares that anybody has made public. I don't seem to have much free time to work on getting any of my builds to work on 7.0 firmware. So if you want to upgrade to 7.0 you get stock or Lineage 14.1. Not that there were a lot of options before.
I'm now using Android Oreo, but I'm considering installing unofficial Android system to my Nexus. I'd like to try Android Oreo or android Nougat. But the thing is I'm afraid that my phone may be laggy or buggy.
According to the post for Nougat port, the camera doesn't work well on the system.
So I'm wondering if I can downgrade to my Android Lollipop in case I can't stand the new system.
Thanks!
You can switch ROMs back and forth at any time, just make sure you make backups and always do a clean flash. Custom ROMs are always a subject to bugs so go for the most stable one you can find which would be Lineage OS.

There are many rock stable Nougat ROMs available for mako and you can easily find them on xda. Even some of the Oreo ROMs are stable enough to be daily drivers...
And yes, you can downgrade or upgrade the versions as you wish (that's the benefit of having a Nexus phone, isn't it?)

My g4 plus is a Rooted 7.0 NPJS25 running in Elemental X Kernel with last security update on 1 June 2017.
Can somebody point me to a good and stable Oreo Custom ROM and possibly the instructions on whether i need some other things beside the custom ROM to make my device better.
Sorry for being a noob. All help is Appreciated

There is already ongoing discussion on this topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/discussion-stable-oreo-rom-t3792049
Also make sure you are posting in question and answer section not in development section..
There's no Oreo custom ROM stable at moment, if you really want to use custom ROM i would recommend Nougat ROMs, especially the Official Lineage 14.1. Alias, even Lineage and ROMs based on lineage suffer from random reboot(And thats why after using custom ROM for more than a year on my Athene i started using Stock again, where everything works well and no random reboot)

Resurrection remix 5.8.5 seems great. No random reboots. Been using it for almost 1.5 years now.
Nougat ROMs have no reboots and hardly any minor bugs. Orero ROMs do have some bugs but are 90% stable which is due to the old baseband and blobs of the device. Hopefully, once official Oreo update is out (or even soak test is out), it should fix the remaining 10% problems.
I tried
RR (Oreo)
Lineage OS (Oreo)
Havoc OS (Oreo)
And in my experience the "most stable" is by far Havoc, righ now is what Im using even when the Dev just droped the project
Im waiting for RR to improve and will be definitly looking for it
I'm currently running an Oreo version of crDroid -- I see that somebody uploaded a Pie version, but it isn't getting full-fledged development. I'm wondering what people's favorite ROM's are that are derived from LineageOS? Who is still keeping the S5 up to date?
