I've been using Stock ROM since now and it lags way too much for me, my friends on Stock facing same issues, idk which custom ROM to go to as there's just so many ROMs with different bugs in them. Athene is my daily driver i don't wanna lose it by installing a crappy ROM. Please help.
P.S. I'm just a noob in flashing. Please someone send a link for first time installing of custom ROM. Thanks.

LineageOS is a very stable and well-supported ROM with OTA updates as well.
As for installing a custom ROM maybe try reading the forum.
Try lineage or resurrection remix. They are the most stable. Till early this month I was using rr now shifted to lineage os

Before flashing anything, have you tried the usual troubleshooting steps of wipe your cache and Dalvik in your recovery? Or if that didn't work, a factory reset (which may wipe your apps and app data)? You could also look into reflashing the stock ROM (e.g https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369) but before trying any of this, make sure your data is backed up.
I'm using InvictaOS (unofficial lineage based ROM) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/xt16xx-cyanogenmod-14-1-alpha-t3492274 as my daily driver and it's been very stable, of course my usage will be different to yours, so your experience may vary. However, I get good battery life, watch YouTube at 1080p, calls are of good quality and the patched Moto camera works, as well as the system being smooth and responsive.
As with flashing any custom ROM, be aware that you'll have to unlock your bootloader from Motorola, which will void your warranty and also erase your data. Relocking your bootloader will not restore your warranty if you need to visit a service centre. Also, switching to a custom ROM will also result in device wipes so ensure you have a good backup before starting.

Yes i wipe cache like once a week and have tried factory reset, but no luck . Stock Nougat still lags, my usage is mostly same as yours, calls and YouTube and texting. The only thing that bothers me is warranty. Thanks for replying.

That's fair enough, losing warranty is definitely a consideration. Re flashing the stock ROM as mentioned above shouldn't affect your warranty and may resolve issues with your system (which is possible if your problems are persisting after a factory wipe). What build of nougat are you on (under settings>about phone)?

It's NPJ25.93-14, I'm waiting for the March Security Patch update, as other people are claiming better battery backup and to see if lag problem sorts out, if it won't hit my phone in 1 week or so then I'll move to one of your mentioned ROMs
I tried Unlocking Bootloader, entered the hex code in Motorola's website and it says my Bootloader can't be unlocked. I bought it from Amazon India (Retail package, no contract of any kind). Help me please.

Well, maybe that is for the best of your luck! I advise you to go to a service center and complain to them. Why? Because Motorola is BI*** and you are better off keeping your warranty stuck up their faces before trying anything else.
One more thing: when you are a noob, flashing a stock rom is not as safe as it sounds, you might end up without a sim slot or lose some other functionality.
Stick to your warranty and fight back the tedious way.

Ok I found that the hex code i was writing on, I cut off a string (low key my mistake) i unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and now on lineage OS 14.1. It's working great, just a little worried for battery life but it's smooth af.

A generic battery saver: disable adaptive brightness and lower brightness only to the level you need. A full charge that way - with me using both WiFi and LTE - lasts a little more than 48 hours.
One last thing: please do a full backup from TWRP. Select all partitions you see available. Copy the resulting backup folder from SDCard to PC in a safe location. Do not modify further unless you really really can't breathe without it.

How much screen on time you get?? I am using Resurrection Remix. It gives me about 3-3.5 hours of sreen on time.

With my usage pattern, I get typically 4-4.5 hours.
This includes:
Calls, texts, and brief Whatsapp usage
Browsing XDA, reddit, instagram
Youtube over 4G/LTE at 1080p (with a slightly weak mobile signal), which is my main usage.
This is with ambient display set to 100 ms wakeup, and 2 sec on time. General brightness at about 25 %. EX Kernel manager used to set maximum number of big cores to 2, I/O manager set to zen with 256 kB readahead buffer.
Of course, your experience may vary, though I've always had good battery life with Invicta.

Did you underclock your processor??

Nope, stock core speeds (think the big cores run up to 1651 Mhz, little cores at 1200 Mhz), just capped the maximum number of big cores to 2. Besides, the interactive governor will likely pick the speeds appropriate for the task, I imagine. In fact, I recall having good battery life even with the stock kernel settings and all cores available, just with these settings my device runs cooler in my experience. Again, the beauty of EX Kernel Manager and the Invicta kernel (alongside many other kernels and managers) is that you can try and tweak a lot of options, many of which will be subjective and vary depending on your usage

Wow... my usage is nearly the same and on nearly every ROM I get about 5.5-6.5 hours of SoT. Whether it be LOS, Invicta, GZR Tipsy (slim based), AOSP-CAF, or even MM ROMs (which are even friendlier on battery).
I disable any memory killers, location, bluetooth, set zen/512kb, disable all big cores, default adaptive brightness, and my usage is reddit/Instagram/Chrome/Telegram. This is over a 2 day period too.
I'm an AOSPLOS Junkie who runs Resurrection Remix most of the time and CrDroidures the rest. I enjoy the speed, features more, tweaks most, and the fact that I can easilly run MicroG instead of google play services and other google crap if I choose not to easily.
I have never ran TW more than 3-5 hours when I bought the phone before I spent a night installing a custom AOSP/LOS based rom.
I did use The Phoenix 15.0 build for a couple weeks, and liked it, but it had too many features that I simply didn't have a need for. That still ran in the BG even though I didn't use them. There are also many features I don't use in my preferred roms but even though I don't enable most they don't run in the background. I still loved the rom and used TIBU to disable a lot of crap I didn't use.
I've seen a bunch of stock updated roms for my unlocked bootloaderd phone, but those would require tweaking, and with xposed available it wouln't be hard to lock it down. Can I use the theme store with MM stock roms, Samsung theme store that is, or even substratum?
So what do you guys and gals suggest I do.. I'm wanted to try TW again, because of the better camera, and a few other things, and to see how long I can make my aging battery last , I'm ordering a new one soon but haven't decided on original sized sammy brand name stock battery, or one of the extendeds that I've read about, the better ones being around 30 plus dollars.
One more question, My entire device is encrypted, with encrypt to boot setup, to install Phoenix for example, I'd have to go back to 3.0.0.0 or so TWRP to use the aroma installer, and I don't know how all this would affect encryption, I don't want to reformat anything. I guess that's why nandroids and so on are a good idea but I don't feel like backing up my 64GB SD card again, I just did that before encrypting.
I can disable the Pin to boot andn keep the lockscreen pin, and probably have no issue downgrading TWRP but I hope I don't have to reformat internal and external encrypted SD's to go back to TW.
Thanks a bunch about any and all recommendations.. THANKS
Griz
Still at the top and no replies.. Maybe I should post in the general android section since it mostly pertains to encryption.
Hi all XDA's members and Meticulus's RR ROM contributors,
I would like to share my experience with Meticulus's RR ROM for Honor 5C.
First I tried Elite V6 with no success : bootloop, F2FS or EXT4 nothing to do ; the Elite V7 is available from Christmas but I see that there are bugs to fix for Hassan, so I gave up and restored a backup of my STOCK system.
The restore was not good as my camera and audio no longer worked...
Before I get back to the STOCK update NEM-L51C432B357, I decided to try Meticulus's RR. It was a very good idea as I now have a renamed Honor 5c to hi6250 (...) working with no bug up to now.
LTE OK, SMS OK, GPS OK, SDCARD OK, AUDIO OK, VIDEO OK, GAPPS OK, MTP OK, etc
Adaway OK, Afwall+ OK, Magisk v14 OK
+ Bonus : Evie Launcher working as it was not using with STOCK ROM (icon size issue) !
Many thanks to Meticulus and contributors for sharing this very good work.
---
To be more precise for Honor 5C owners :
DEVICE : HONOR 5C
ROM STOCK BUILD : NEM-L51C432B350
MODDED RECOVERY .. : TWRP-3.1.1-0-hi6250-v5.2.zip
ROM INSTALLED .... : RR-N-v5.8.5-20171214-hi6250-Meticulus.zip
GAPPS INSTALLED .. : open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20171225.zip
---
Steps of my successful installation with SDCARD and no SIM CARD :
1- FASTBOOT the TWRP then reboot to the TWRP RECOVERY
2- Wipe all except external SDCARD
3- Install the ROM
4- Reboot to TWRP RECOVERY
5- Install the GAPPS
6- Reboot to system (RR)
7- During RR Android setup, when asked insert the SIM CARD.
It would perhaps also have been successful with the SIM CARD inserted from the beginning...

Questions/feature requests :
- On Resurrection Remix site, I have not found your great ROM why ?
- On XDA Dev, there is no thread "Resurrection Remix For The Honor 5C [METICULUS]" but a "[ROM][7.1.2] Resurrection Remix For The Honor 6x [METICULUS]" one, this is why I put my comments here and in the Elite thread for those like me unable to get Elite V6 or V7 working with their Honor 5C.
- One thing is really missing to me (not found in settings) : the scheduled start/stop that worked very well with the STOCK ROM.
Do you think that this useful feature could be added on a future version ?
- The double TAP for screen wake up, would be a great bonus feature (was not provided in the STOCK ROM).
- Not tested the OTG, I will tell it in this thread.
Thanks again.
---
Meticulus's replies :
1. It is unlikely that any device with a kirin processor will get "official support" for LineagOS and therefore Resurrection Remix. There just isn't enough source.
2. Just because there is no "Honor 5c" thread doesn't mean you should come here and confuse information. It makes the water muddy. There is nothing stopping you from creating a thread in the "Honor 5c General" and post your experienced there.
3. Scheduled device start and sleep is not something I will work on.
4. DoubleTap 2 Wake only works on some P9 Lite's. Other devices with different touchscreens simply do not have the hardware capability.
5. I'm glad you like the ROM but please re-post your experiences in the Honor 5c section. I intend to delete these posts...

What do you think solved the audio issue?
Reverting to Stock Rom backup could have helped somehow.
Renaming it maybe ? And how did you rename it? After installing this rom mine became hi6250.
I own a nmo-l31 and ever since installing EliteRom v7 i could not get the audio working. Installed EliteRom v6 , applied l-31 patch,nothing.
Trying to switch to stock rom with dload gave error
Directly flashing boot,system,cust,recovery from firmware packages didnt change anything on the userspace ,literally.My files,homescreen etc. remained the same and only recovery changed. I think i made a mistake there but who knows.
Now installed this ResurrectionRemix twrp and rom after seeing this thread.Audio still refuses to work .

I had the same problem on my NEM-L51. The problem is (or at least i think it is), that the vendor partition is somehow corrupted.
Short explaination, the vendor partition holds some drivers which are not open source (therefore not in the android kernel) and also aren't shipped in the custom roms (because of copyright stuff). So you always need to have them, if the custom rom depends on them (and most/all of the honor 5c custom roms do so). That's also the reason why you always have to flash the custom rom over your emui5.x and if you screwed your whole system, you first need to flash a backup or get back to emui on a different way before you can flash a working custom rom again.
So that's the explaination part. I installed twrp on my device, took a complete backup, flashed aosp from meticulus, everything worked except of Audio/Videos. Flashed LineageOS from Hassan, everything worked except of audio/video playback. Flashed backup, everything worked except audio/video. WTF. I don't know why, but i believe that the backups made with TWRP were somehow not complete, because flashing all partitions (the backup was over all partitions, triple checked, made new backups from stock) didn't solve audio issues, not even on the stock backup. What I now did was getting back to stock with the dload method, and flashed again directly the lineageos from hassan, which then worked. I had a try before where i first accidentially flashed aosp again, and same problems occured again. Also the now stock backup again didn't work. That's why i think that the TWRP backups for Honor 5c NEM-L51 are somehow not right.
Tl;dr if you have audio/video playback issues, try to get back to stock (make sure those features work on your stock rom) and flash again. If it still doesn't work, custom rom is maybe not compatible with nem-l51 (only experienced that with meticulus roms, hassans work great).

Try again with the dload method, maybe use another UPDATE.zip. I had to try it several times, device booted sometimes for ever, and suddenly it worked. No idea why, but maybe try it again.

Hi,
Dual SIM not tested, Volte I don't know if it works using my ISP (free.fr) and don't know how to check this.
An advice, don't update Magisk, I have done it on several rr (honor 5c, idol3 5.5), the result was bootloop.
Hi, I have a Lenovo A6000 single sim with his stock rom s025 kitkat and is very laggy.... What can I do to solve the lag? I have this phone by 1 year, first runs very good, after I upgraded it to stock lollipop, which was very laggy, I flashed back the stock rom kitkat for dual sim, after that I flashed some custom roms (MIUI 7, CM 11, VIBE UI 2.0), very laggy, after that I flashed the stock rom kitkat for single sim and is very slow. * I 'm not playing games on the phone, I have all the apps updated *
Pls, someone?
via Kernel Adiutor edit cpu goveronr to ondemand instead of interactive then reboot the device :good:
Don't know if you still need an answer or not but if I were you, I would do a clean flash of the stock rom. Google search Kraft-A6000 S032 150327 WCDB and download the file to external sd card. Flash twrp if you don't have it already, go to advanced wipe and wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, system and internal storage. And then flash the stock rom. This should do it.
Needless to say this would wipe all data from your phone, so backup everything and of course do this at your own risk (although there is very little chance of anything going wrong here).

As said by the other member (joke19), the best solution is to use the mi tool so as to bring the phone back to its original condition, certainly one of the partitions (probably The vendor partition or persist) (it's just a guess) but ... did you install the latest firmware available in the version of the rom that you then installed?(you said you did a clean install, which means formatting sistem data cache vendor ... And then before installing the new rom reinstalled the Appropriate firmware ...) Personally only once did I return from custom to MIUI (not MIUI stock, however, and at the time I lost the IMEI despite all the correct steps) but it was a long time ago However, these are things that can happen even when you switch from one custom to another, even if one does all the steps. Correct "formatting" from twrp is never a formatting Really clean ... only from fastboot or using the xiaomi tool you usually have a Complete formatting And I would like to underline COMPLETE because in twrp only some partitions are cleaned and this can sometimes lead to small problems
