Hi all! The purpose of this thread is to gather a bit of information about the LP ROMS people like the most, and why. As you already know Android 5.0 arrived along the last few months to our awesome phone, the Moto G. However the Moto G is a popular phone, and despite being a bit of an oldie there is still a huge amount of support for it from the community. The proof is that we already have (at least) 22 different ROMs we can flash, and counting. Amongst such number of ROMs being developed at a time, it can be hard to choose sometimes, and that's why I came up with this idea. In the end it is something someone would have done sooner or later, and while I am aware that pretty much all of the projects listed here are under development and still far from a final release, in my opinion most are mature enough for daily use at this point. Therefore, I believe it is about the right time to start sharing our opinions on them!
If this turns out right (hope so, lol) we will have a better knowledge of the current LP ROMs out there, which of them are the most chosen among users, and most importantly the reasons that stand behind. Plus, it will be easier for newcomers to decide which ROM suits them best.
Long story short, just vote for the ROM you like the most. I encourage you to post your opinions on the matter as well, so we can know why you like that ROM so much!
Note: I did my best at gathering all the ROMs available at the moment. If you can't find your ROM in the list just post it here (and tell us what makes it cool). I don't know if I will be able to add them to the poll since this is the first one I do, I will if it's possible.
So tell me, what's your favourite lollipop flavour?
Guess I'll be the first? xD My vote goes to BlissPop. I tried a few other like CM12, stock, Resurrection Remix or Pac-rom, and found BlissPop was the one that most satisfied me in terms of features. I like omni-switch, viper4android integration in settings and bliss interface with all the personalisation options. It also fares nicely in overall performance and battery life, and IMO it is quite stable... hardly any bug and when there is one it usually is nothing bothersome. Still got a lot to test out though, so my opinion might change.
Euphoria OS is really good. Very stable, better performance than stock. although right now I have 5.1 installed.
Pacman and exodus
Optimised stock by @lost101 with xposed, fantastic, just how motorola should have done it.
Pacman and aicp
Stock without any doubt.
Broken is pretty good as well imo.

Euphoria is definetly one that I want to give a try to. Interested on it's performance and their cm12 theme is one of the best I've seen.

A lot of people are going for stock, this surprises me a little. May I ask what are the benefits of stock? Is it just stability or is there a difference in performance too? Curious.

i guess for some stability and performance. Euphoria OS is a great rom although I am not a fan of CM anymore. they got too big for their own good.

Better performance, stability and everything works as it should.
Also xposed gives you almost all the additional features.
Battery life is much better imo

Is it for dual sim ?
Resurrection
Although I'm on stock optimised by @lost101 great battery and stability.. And multitask is great too..
Stock 5.0.2 Brazilian optimized.
Stability, a couple of random reboots but overall stable.
As it was said xposed compensates the lack of some customization or functions.
Amazing battery performance, about 14/16.

No way to choose the best ROM. Each ROM has a unique features . I think every rom is best. Just keep on giving treat to my phone by constantly changing ROM. Now my current ROM is beanstalk ROM .
So beanstalk is best for now
Been using Resurrection Remix current build for several months now and was considering flashing dirty unicorns. But if dirty unicorns is basically the same exact thing I don't see any point in flashing it. RR is cm based which is caf based (?) And Du is also. I've also been using elementalx and franco. What is the difference between Resurrection Remix and dirty unicorns? I'm looking for something that's fast stable like everyone else but I also like themes. Do you guys know of anything that's different?

The major difference that I would point out is the originality of DU. A great deal of the code found in DU is actually written by the developers of DU. RR is basically just a bunch of commits from different developers thrown together to create the feature list that it has, no actual original code as far as I know. Then you have the things in DU like Fling, Pulse, and Smartbar. Fling is a really fantastic and different way of using the navigation bar without buttons.
From my experience, and this is my experience, DU seemed to have slightly better battery life and as Heisenberg said, some very unique and exclusive features. On the flip side, RR was more stable for me and also has no shortage of features. As for speed, I did 5 or 6 speed tests on each over the course of a few days using An tu tu benchmark. DU averaged about 86,000 while RR never clocked below 90,000. Both were tested using the pre package kernel that ships with their ROM. Can't really go wrong either way.

RR for me
Also DU os not CM based and they avoid using most of anything from cm. The only thing is the theme engine.
DU is class and is AOSP based .... Purely class

You're so off the mark on so many things here dude, and I think that's what is making you write DU off preemptively. Not only is DU AOSP as opposed to based on CM, they abhor CM to the point that they avoid merging anything stemming from it all costs with the exception of Theme Chooser. It's stock kernel (Unicorn Blood) is also AMAZING and almost warrants flashing it in it's own right.
Up until last week I would have listed fling, pulse and Smart Bar as the main "differences" that set DU apart from RR and any other ROMs, since all those things originated with DU and were exclusive to it to boot, but the DU crew released the souce code for it and a number of other ROMs, including RR, started merging the commits for them over the course of the last week or so. Now the main thing that sets DU apart from RR is stability and commitment to improving thecustom firmware development scene as a whole. While I admittedly also think RR is cool, at one point it was even my favorite ROM, I find it to be a bit unstable and sluggish for my blood (from my experience RR is substantially less stable and fluid than DU regardless of what kernel I've flashed alongside it. It's like night and day) whereas DU is straight up one of the most fluid and bug-free experience I've had with any ROM ever, hands down. A ton of the stuff we take for granted as standard perks of flashing an M based ROM (like full screen recents, for example) originated with DU as well, and since there will doubtless be many, many more to come DU affords you the opportunity to get in on that sh*t o the ground floor.
Basically, while RR is a great ROM in it's own right any similarities to DU are merely superficial. While it does have slightly more than DU in the features department pound for pound, DU still has a ton on offer in it's own right and is just generally a way tighter and more cohesive experience. I know I sound like a massive DU fan boy, and that's because I am, but for good reason lol.
If you're not sold on the merits of DU over RR and want something that deviates a ton from what you're currently using I'd also recommend VRToxin. I can't even begin to list all the features it has on offer and it has an unimaginable depth of original and exclusive features and customization offers baked in. Plus it's AOSP and not based on cm13, so while not even a fraction as stable as DU it's every bit as stable as RR, if not more so, despite having everything under the sun included.
Well it;s better to avoid ROM's having CM13 base as it breaks one or the other stuff.. I have been using Omni Rom for a while and is quite stable and rocking. This week I thought to flash DU hence was checking on this thread.. Nice read though from @pringled

While I won't write a mile long comment. I do agree with Sobek. Dirty Unicorns has been around for a long time...a few years ago both Liquid Smooth and DU were my choices. I never had any problems with DU...I was on Resurrection MM for a while until I switched to WETA N 8.4...I might switch back to MM. If I do, I will most definitely go to DU. The latest 10.6 is rock solid. Unfortunately, I do not know if DU is under the process of updating to Nougat. I sure hope so because I can't see the community losing an instant classic like DU...Nothing against Resurrection though - it's a good ROM too, but personally I'd rather use DU...I really like that updated CMTE Resurrection is using. I'm not sure if DU moved to substratum once they started basing there builds on AOSP. I imagine DU no longer uses CMTE and instead uses Substratum.

Shame that the LS990 version of DU is only on 10.2 and has a known LTE issue. So still on RR MM, which I'm fine with as I know my way around. Thankfully I was able to flash a stable copy of aCC kernel, and now with Alucard governor getting much better battery life. I'm not yet sold on the new theme engine from CM yet, but probably because it's still new to me. Hopefully there will be a Nougat version of DU available and working properly at some point for my LS990. If not, I'll just stick with RR as it's always treated me well.

Ah man LG G3....I remember having a LG Optimus T back in the day...a lot of huge changes since than...The updated CM theme engine is nice. I was never a big fan of Layers, but now they call it something entirely different (substratum). It's amazing how much around here changes after not having a phone for almost 2 months. I take it the G3 is your primary phone or is it your backup? I've only got the Nexus 6p

Had the HTC m8, but the charging port was damaged. I could of fixed it, but I saw no point in doing so. It was going to cost me more to fix it myself then its worth, so I jumped to the 6p....M8 development was super slow anyways...

Just did a quick search and nothing. Not surprised though, as I was never able to find a Nougat version for LS990 or VS985. Unless you know of someone with the Dirty Unicorns team that plans on building for an almost 4 year old device, I think you probably won't be finding one.
I don't see any comparison in this subforum.
Perhaps we can compare and discuss different ROMs
Which do you like and why?
I only really test CyanogenMod 13 and Lineage OS.
Can I add something ---
Which ROM is best for GAMING?
Ah ah I just had the same question. I wondered why there were so many flavors of Lineage Os, and what were the difference. For the moment I have tested only stock (Alxndr's rom) and Lineage 14.1 Official.
- Lineage OS offical is great. The fingerprint recognition is lightning fast, and the rom is globally fast. There are lots of customization and options.
- Stock has however a better battery life, Ultra Power Saving Mode, camera and dialer.
I don't do gaming. However, I can tell the performance in antutu is equivalent (+/- 53.000). Stock had a better 3d score (11.000, vs 8.000 for LOS) and should do better for gaming.
My dream would be a Lineage OS with ported touchwiz framework for edge, camera, sms and dialer. Or a S7 nougat rom with ported LoS fingerprint.
I am running Vaniraosp these days.

AOKP seems to have everything working that i have come across and gets nightly updates i like Cr Droid but was still getting rotation issue Kltedv hopefully that will be sorted in the next update
Official linage
Tried LOS, Resurrection Remix and crdroid. LOS is good but seems so vanilla in front of RR and crdroid.
I like features. Resurrection Remix has the most features. crdroid is similar but slightly less features, but excellent battery life of all.
I switched back to RR from crdroid in the hopes of getting battery life improvement with boeffla kernel, forcedoze, hebf optimizer, but not seeing it so far. May go back to crdroid.
@freefourlife
Battery life with crDroid so much better? Any disadvantages?

No. Minor additional features in RR. Planning to switch back, as I couldnt get similar battery efficiencies even with custom boeffla kernel
I feel safer and more stable with official lineage OS, but this is only illusion in my head.

You are in for a treat for v 2.1 when it will be released. They are improving it a lot in terms of performance and battery life.
based on stock mm, great bat life, nice mods on stock SUPERLite MiNi MM *361mb*
i tested AICP, LOS and CrDroid i want to test AOKP, the most developed was AICP, but the battery life and the ram usage was the worst, but it was the better choice, all the things worked, but i prefer LOS, Crdroid it has a lot of bugs in 2.0, i don't tested the 2.1 but a few users said that the sim card is not detected so i will wait, it has the best battery life compared with the other roms but a lot of things aren't working so it's not the best thing and LOS is vanilla but with little customizations, so it's really cool, the dev's can improve the battery life but, i think that if you use LOS is ok for daily use.
I really like LINEAGE OS official. But I use custom TW roms just because I prefer TW camera . So I hope to use LINEAGE OS with ported TW framework for stock or N7 camera .

Never tested AICP, but there are daily updates I see.
crDroid has different problems I recognized that, too. And few updates.
I only have a very small test with AOKP, everything seems working.
At the moment using LineAge OS with (nearly) no bugs. Battery life is OK, but not perfect. Performance seems good, no problem at the moment.
But I'm always interested in other ROMs or interesting features etc.

Hi, i've counted about 30 roms in the roms section... I'm looking (like the title) for a rom like purenexus on nexus but for oneplus 5... For who don't know what i'm talking about, it's not full of customization and it's very fast... Suggestion?
The stock ROM?
It offers a slight bit of customizations, but not too much. And it seems pretty fast to me.
Your only other option may be Slim. They don't have many features and pretty much no bloat.
When I say they don't have too many features I mean in comparison to ROMs such as Resurrection Remix which is loaded.
Dirty Unicorns is on par with PN in terms of stability, performance and features. Sadly is not on XDA but you can grab it from devsbase or their G+ community page.
Omnirom with pixel launcher
thank you all... i really love how fast the freedom os is and no other rom is so fast but i really miss substratum for themes... i've tried the resurrection remix is amazing but too much options for me and it's not fast like oxygen/freedom.... i tried also DU and PA but they're too laggy and too slow for me... I will try Slim7 and OminRom, thank you
Hello, I've been sticking to stock ROM as long as possible but with the recent fall of ZTE, and the fact that stock started to feel sluggish I was looking for some ROMs I can get and I can see two big players LineageOS 15.1 and AospExtended. I like the huge amount of features in AospExtended but there seems to be some battery bug and lack of encryption and also in the changelog is states "Final Nougat release" which is kinda implying that there is not going to be any new version and I don't think that's the desired message. So my question is how much customizable is LineageOS 15.1? Which ROM do you think is better suited for long-term usage?

That changelog is very outdated. We already have oreo AospExtended with no bugs a while ago.
I'm currently running it and I love it, I really recommend you to install if you want a clean, stable and customizable system.

I don't know what you mean by "battery bug" but LOS and AEX share the same issues since they use the same base, which is B12 Oreo Beta.
Also AEX is more responsive and has better audio than LOS. Battery life is about the same.

What do you mean "full of serious bugs" what version is stable enough to be considered daily driver?
There are some posts in the AEX thread about the battery dying at 50% or so.
