I'd like to use CM12.1 (marshmallow) but I realize there still are no stable release? Why? Is it not good enough yet?
I've had a pretty bad experience with CM on my old Galaxy S4 so I'm a little afraid to remove the stock recovery and ROM from my Moto X Play. I want to make sure that it's bug free (or as buggy as stock) and suitable for day use. In other words I want to flash it and know it's fully reliable. Given the fact that there are only nightly releases, are they reliable enough for this?
Thanks

I can't vouch for the latest releases, as my xplay has been broken for like 3 months now, but being a nightly doesn't inherently make it unstable. Stable builds are usually relabeled nightlies. I say give it a shot. You can always go back to stock if you don't like it, unless you're speaking about voiding warranty

Oh! I thought nightlies were unstable releases. So before yours broke, you had a good experience? No problem with camera or other stuff?
It's not really a question of warranty but rather just not having any issues when I need it to work. For instance, with my Galaxy S4, the camera kept crashing while I was out with my kids so I lost time trying to make it work when I wanted to take a picture. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't want happening just because I got another ROM.
Indeed I did (have a good experience). If you're every unsure of a nightly, head to the thread. You'll usually find one or several people commenting if it's no good.

Yeah I had a look (I just realized I was talking about CM13 not 12.1) but given there are now 205 pages I thought I'd ask about the nightly situation in a different thread.
I think I may try it and restore it from the ROM available in the forum.
Oh and I keep wondering, given Motorola never actually released the ROM, how can someone make it available?
I m using nightly for like 3 months ......and I can say nightly is far better than stock if you are looking for customization and speed. I recently tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 but that experience is so "LAGGY" that I again return back to CM.I can say that CM nightly build working best for me with my requirements(like gaming and also photography and editing and HEAVY Customization and many more ) . and about custom recovery,it's a must have tool I suggest as with that I can return back to my previous builds. SO i recommend to go for NEW CM build,but in the end it's upto you.
and if u r still fearing about NIGHTLIES then flash the custom recovery(twrp) and then make backup of whole stock system and then do whatever U want to.
Btw this is the wrong forum to discuss things

Dirty Unicorn has been rock solid and I suggest staying away from CM based roms as they tend to have issues. Staying with AOSP based roms will give you better stability and Dirty offers a lot of options and features that limits your need for Xposed.
You can see the Dirty Unicorn XDA thread, but that is limited as it is just a dropping off point. you are better using their Google+ community.

Daam. So what are my other options lol.. Guess I have to go back to factory stock
I prefer CM 13 ROM above all other ROMs.
Try them all and decide for yourself. DU is by far more reliable and feature filled than cm. I ran cm for a few days but in the end pound for pound DU for me outperforms cm.

However there is any information about how well the hal3 enable mod works on that ROM...how manual can we get with the cameras nor if the ROM comes with some ported camera app
Two ROMs that I've had the best luck with are DU and Orion.
Orion has issues with the microphone. It seems to have low sensitivity so I have to talk really loud in call and even when using google speech to text I have to speak up. Others have had issues with MMS but it seemed fine to me.
DU seemed to have significant battery drain and random reboots on 10.6. Using 10.5 seems to solve both of these issues so for now DU 10.5 has been my daily driver.
Both are great ROMs and are both AOSP based. Resurrection Remix I've also used for a while but also had microphone issues which was a dealbreaker for me.
Best ROM for me. I'm on the February update.

Since I'm running Stock ( MPHS24.49-18-4 (May 1, 16) Security Patch) with Chainfire's SystemLess Root http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/, I have absolutely NO PROBLEMS with anything ( a bit bumpy in the beginning but working great ). I have been running flawlessly since I got my MOTO X Pure (2015) from SWAPPA https://swappa.com/. I LOVE THIS PHONE!!! and now will be even better https://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2016/10/n-is-for-nougat-android-70-is-coming-to.html?m=1, I just can't wait until June of 2017, or whenever MOTO/Lenovo pushes it out..
I have tried most of them (with TruePure being the best "custom" rom) and found that stock with root,xposed/gravitybox, and substratum is the best hands down. I mean honestly, with stock and gravitybox and using substratum in legacy RRO mode really does everything a custom rom does cleanly and bug free. I just recently fastboot flashed the current Sept factory image from Moto coming from TruPure, flashed TWRP, rooted, and set up exposed. The latest radio is already performing better than on TruPure, and the performance/battery is identical. I'd highly recommend this to anyone that's been running custom for a while. A nice factory image flash updates ALL of your partitions to the current build and I am truly seeing better signal performance (I am on verizon) from the "band 12 fix" radio that was really the only latest flashable radio for us.

I have tried various different custom ROMs such as DU, TruPure, Orion, AICP and found TruPure to be the most stable and Orion to be the fastest. However, TruPure started having very noticeable lag so I switched to Orion and the speed difference was night and day. However my one and only issue with Orion was that WIFI was incredibly slow. I constantly had to toggle wifi on off to get the speed back. I found this issue in DU and AICP also.
Now I am running the 6.0 Sabissimo V1 and Wifi is back to normal. Its sad becasue Orion was fantastic in its speed and customization! I really miss the little features such as adding date on status bar, % only battery sign, killall option when recents menu opened, and etc.
I just want stock rom stability with system customizations such as % only battery sign & the killall option when recents menu opened. I dont care for themes at all

The ROM you mentioned is an AOSP I imagine. Any pratfalls with AOSP? There's always it seems that doesn't work.

If you're looking for a 7.1 ROM, try out dirty unicorns. They are not on XDA, but they have a Google+ page and a website with downloads for Clark. It is one of the most stable ROMS right know for this device. If you wanna stay on marshmallow I'm pretty sure Tru pure is still a great ROM, and you probably wouldn't wanna change.
I've gone back to stock with this device as every custom rom that I have tried has had some issue or another, making them unstable. The Brazilian stock nougat TWRP backup that is available on this forum is working surprisingly well on my device, an XT1572 being used in the UK.

None of the ROM'S do gestures as well as the stock gestures work, such as waving hand to wake the phone..etc..but they still work fairly well. Dirty unicorns also has the other moto gestures such as flip the phone to silence among others.
+1 for dirty unicorns. I'm running on their latest official release and its pretty good.
The latest build of stock 6.0.1 + Root + Xposed.
Stock... pure, untouched stock is the best for stability and speed, no doubt about it.
If you mean what CUSTOM rom is best, BrokenOS for MM or Dirty Unicorns for Nougat... Both are good, but neither one is as stable as stock.

i am using AISP rom and it is working well so far. Fast and smooth so far with huge amount of apps in background, also phone is not overhearting
no bootlops, no crashes etc
Ok, I guess I should probably flash a stock rom image then... Where can I find an official link?

Hi all,
Have been using the 1+5 since launch day, bought this beast at midnight on launch day and since then it's just amazed me....but I've been stuck picking a ROM due to the encryption decryption worry, I'm currently decrypted on xXx
What ROM are you using and why?
Not looking for the best, just for the points of why one over another.
Cheers.
Hi!

Different ROMs are build above different sources -- OOS, AOSP, LineageOS... -- and contain various modifications -- theming options, kernel tweaking, features ported from other devices, ability to streamline the system experience, stellar stability or release-early-release-often, etc. Every ROM is different, though at some point they offer more of less similar features -- eck, it's all Android at the core! Still, they represent what their devs feel is important for a joyful experience. Read the first post of a topic, you should have a general idea of what you get.

Thanks, maybe I didn't explain it enough, what I meant was what do you use and prefer and why?
What features sell you the ROM of your choice over others.
I think you can see by the amount of phones I've had that I've seen quite a few.
What are you using at the moment and why?
Benefit over OOS?
I've always been in love with Codename Phoenix, and I still am. I flashed everything there is out there, and every kernel. My conclusion: either OOS, or Phoenix. All the others either have some bugs or annoying problems. I choose Phoenix over OOS because it is just as smooth if not even smoother & faster while providing much more features than OOS. Also, 2 stable builds a month. That's much faster updates than OOS.

The rom also has OOS cam working. The ROM itself is closed source, but it's stellar, so I am sure there's a reason behind him making it closed source. I bet he is some ex developer of some other mainstream rom who really knows his stuff.
The rom that give Codename Phoenix a head to head competition is AOSIP, I have used both and settled down on latter.

I went with AICP, firmware 5.1 at this point is needed with it. Modded Gcam working, modded oneplus cam also working. Alot of features, uses LOS and others for base. if your a flashaholic like myself they have nightlies close to every night even. If you want a custom kernel most of the LOS compatble ones (EX, Flash, Franco) work. Battery life is great, and I like the feature set. Eneough tweaking I dont need substratum to have the look I want. Using Magisk 14.4 beta for root. solid eneough to be a daily driver for sure. Bluetooth works perfect for me as well, no wifi issues.
Still using Pure Fusion 7.1.2, as it's aosp-based yet has oos camera fully working(with portrait and slow-mo).

Not a worry for me that, I've got a Lumie that gets brighter in the morning and tweets at me, wakes me up better than a normal alarm.
How's theming on pure fusion? Been having some issues with my preferred theme lately, in fact so many themes these days don't work.
Google just wants to be lighter and lighter, how they haven't got a dark side I'll never know.
Besides robbing everyone's data
Just like OP, i'm running xXx oos based rom since the beginning, and i'm pretty happy with it.
I'm interested in trying some custom roms, but i've read almost everywhere that custom roms can't get close to camera quality of OOS, is this still true ?
I don't mind flashing any magisk camera mod module if that could help :good:
in performance, battery life etc. :good:
i have omni 6 rn
performace is good but battery life was better in 7

I currently have Unlegacy Android 7.1.2 June 2020 build installed, but i'm planning to downgrade. Is omni roms a derivative of some other rom or is it independent? I don't like Lineage OS 13 and Slim 6 is a derivative of LOS. I have not tried omni 6 as of now.
I just got this tablet from a friend. I tried factory reset on the existing stock rom it had, I installed 4 different custom roms and I then went back to stock rom(4.2.2). This thing is so friggin laggy. Was there ever a time(rom) that this thing worked properly? I just want it for browsing, and it takes FOREVER to load a page(if it loads at all). As is, it is a useless piece of junk.
yeah I've just found it inside a closed. Flashed a few "newish roms" and it lags a lot even in the UI and random issues like Missing the top menu until I go into settings.
Will try to go back to 4.x and see if it lags there too. I remember it to be usable once booted.
It seems to heat a lot. Don't know if these things have a thermal paste.
edit cm11 2020 update works ok. but i need 5.0 up
try slim roms. i just flashed 6.0 and seems fine, 2020 security updates on andi's website

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Out of those 4 custom roms you've tried, were any of them based off android 6? If all of them were android 7 based, then there's the problem. As of now, any custom rom based off android 7 are unstable. If you want stability, then go with Unlegacy Android 6, Lineage OS 13, Slim6 and Omni6(highly recommended).

yeah I've just found it inside a closed. Flashed a few "newish roms" and it lags a lot even in the UI and random issues like Missing the top menu until I go into settings.
Will try to go back to 4.x and see if it lags there too. I remember it to be usable once booted.
It seems to heat a lot. Don't know if these things have a thermal paste.
edit cm11 2020 update works ok. but i need 5.0 up
try slim roms. i just flashed 6.0 and seems fine, 2020 security updates on andi's website

Yeah, avoid all android 7 based custom roms for this device.

I currently have Unlegacy Android 7.1.2 June 2020 build installed, but i'm planning to downgrade. Is omni roms a derivative of some other rom or is it independent? I don't like Lineage OS 13 and Slim 6 is a derivative of LOS. I have not tried omni 6 as of now.

Andi omni ROMs are quite good for performance and battery just don't install gapps. But I have not tried unlegacy yet but other than that I kind tried everything else

Slim 6 is like the worst for me
And the heating isn't exactly the rarest thing for this thing. If you want to sacrifice some of the apps you may use that require gapps then ditch google services entirely it improves performance and battery
Then for YouTube use vanced and for the app store use aurora

I just got this tablet from a friend. I tried factory reset on the existing stock rom it had, I installed 4 different custom roms and I then went back to stock rom(4.2.2). This thing is so friggin laggy. Was there ever a time(rom) that this thing worked properly? I just want it for browsing, and it takes FOREVER to load a page(if it loads at all). As is, it is a useless piece of junk.

The answer is simple. Ditch gapps

I'm not too sure about it since i flashed gapps, but you would have to flash f droid apk with TWRP. Aurora Store is what you'd use to download the file manager

Also what settings do you use for dhollmen kernel?

Download F Droid apk with another device such as a pc or another android. Send the apk to a micro sd card and put in your GT2.
If your GT2 have TWRP, use it to flash F Droid apk.
If successful, download Aurora Store via F Droid.
I always went with gapps, so these instructions are not 100% accurate, i hope i could help you out.
