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.

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
Whats Your Current favourite Rom?
Why is it favourite?
And Any bug that you aware of....
I Tried few rom and there is always some issue so and i was wondering which rom does people use the most so i can try it.
Thanks you in advance for replying............
Currently im Using RR with EX kernel and camera is having some trouble (random reboot while viewing image):silly:
the screw rom is fast and smooth plus have too dozens customization options but sadly just in Marshmallow and haven't any update on the nougat.

Screw'd Android does have a nougat based rom (7.0), check out their Google + page. It runs awesome!!
I am surprised that u guys haven't used uberstock..
It's the fastest a rom on Android can be.. Super smooth and fast
Nitrogen OS has been my bread and butter for a couple months now.
One of my favorite Roms has to be Android Ice Cold Project.
It has so many features that you can mess around with to customize the experience the way you want it.
Probably the only downside to this Rom is that it drains battery much faster than Roms with less features, so if you want features but don't mind losing battery life, then this Rom is for you.
Another Rom I can recommend is jgcaap's custom CM13 builds.
It has a little more features than stock CyanogenMod 13 has but it saves a ton more battery life than AICP.
I've been using this Rom for quite a while now and I've had no problems with it so far.
Hope I've assisted you in some way
Have a great day!

Hello,
Since LG abandoned LG G3 (right?) and my warranty expires soon I'd like to change the ROM. Do you know any custom ROM that's as stable as the stock one? G3 is my daily driver and I don't want to experience any problems/bugs.
Unfortunately I've heard there are issues with Lineage and RR. Is that true?
Thanks.

To be honest, there are some problems with Lineage but it is still in Nightly so it is to be expected. In my opinion the best one (and the most popular) is Fulmics 6.9. It is based on the stock LG Rom and makes your G3 look like a G5 with UX5.0. I've been using it since day one and have had no problems with it at all. No bugs whatsoever.

If you would like to preserve the camera quality, then stock ROMs are the way to go. The bad thing about stock ROMs is you won't have Nougat with them, and worst of all, they generally don't have as much battery life as the AOSP Nougat ROMs and feel a bit less snappier.
If you would like to have the best battery life and/or performance, go with AOSP ROMs.
From my experience, best ROMs out there for LG G3:
ROMs with LG UX 5.0:
- Fulmics ROM
ROMs with LG UX 4.0:
- Tekcafe UX4
Fulmics have a few extra options in the camera and is much more (and easily) customizable through its Fulmics Tweaks menu, but Tekcafe UX 4.0 feels more fluid and snappier. For me, the extra speed bit is not a deal breaker, but sometimes I really hate the white UI of UX 5.0 - it appears fugly and eye-piercingly-white at times!
AOSP- and CM-based ROMs:
If you want a relatively more stable Nougat release, go with Mokee or Resurrection Remix, though AOKP will also probably perform well, too.
If you can live with a few bugs and a "dark" camera when you launch the camera (you need to take a picture with the camera for once so that the brightness gets properly adjusted for the following shots), AOSP Extended or Dirty Unicorns unoffical Nougat release should also be fine. Last time I tried them, AOSP Extended and either AOKP Nougat or else Dirty Unicorns Nougat (I can't remember which is the one now) had substantially better camera performance than most AOSP ROMs out there despite the aforementioned camera auto brightness bug. The problem is this auto brightness bug really started annoying the hell out of me after some time, so I switched back to stock ROMs.
Resurrection Remix Nougat was mostly fine, but sometimes I felt that it got slowed down too much if you enabled the Power Saver or lowered the performance profile of the phone through the battery menu.
If you want an AOSP-based Marshmallow ROM, Mokee, Resurrection Remix and Dirty Unicorns will probably be the better choice for you. Although the last Marshmallow release of Dirty Unicorns was an unofficial build for the D855, I liked how fluid it felt. The phone really felt slick - like a well-oiled machine :good: Unfortunately I stopped using it as the camera was nowhere near as good as stock. If you don't care about the camera, you may give it a try.
I hope this answer is of any help to you. Good luck with your new ROM!
Interesting thread, might i ask which ROM would give the most adequate camera quality? Thank you.

Do you have the LG G3 LS990? Thats what I have and I just cant seem to find good instructions or help on installing the Lineage rom.
Since my comment above, I was able to get the Lineage OS 14.1 installed and working. So far so good, I like it. But I am no expert with this.

Stock ROMs or Stock-based ROMs should be your choice for the best camera quality.
So far I have tried the stock LG v30b, Tekcafe UX4 v3.5, N&N ROM v10.0 and Fulmics 6.9. I have been on Fulmics for some time now, so I can't make definitive comments about the others as my memory is fading, but from what I remember they were all very close to each other, if not identical. With Fulmics, you have a few extra options such as FHD 60 FPS video recording. That might be present on N&N v10.0, too, but honestly I can't remember it at the moment. For me, the most striking difference between the LG G5 camera app in Fulmics and the original LG G3 camera app in Stock v30b/Tekcafe UX4 was NOT in image quality but rather in colours/saturation. In daylight conditions I wouldn't see any difference, but in environments illuminated with lamps in a less-than-ideal manner, I get a bit more saturated and slightly yellowish pictures with Fulmics v6.9. With Stock v30b/Tekcafe UX4, colours seemed more natural, but also the picture seemed to have slightly less contrast with a hint of slightly washed-out colours. Honestly, I can't say one tops the other - all have their cons and pros, but all should be more than satisfying at the end of the day. As for photos taken using HDR, I found that the LG V20 camera mod found in the Fulmics Hub worked the best for me. If you zoomed in a bit after taking the photo, you could see that it reproduced colours a bit more faithully while being slightly less grainy, but it occasionally hung or crashed on my phone, so I ended up reverting to the stock G5 camera, which ALWAYS works great for me! :good:
If you want to preserve the camera quality, but want to get rid of most LG crapware, you can try Nimax Slim Fit, I've been using it in the last few days and so far I'm really happy with it. It's one of the most snappy and battery friendly stock based ROMs that I've tried.
I tried the AOSP pixel g3. So far it seems stable, however its far from the G3's stock rom. But honestly, nothing beats the vanilla android experience.

I flashed the LineageOS Official Latest nightly build a few days ago. It seems to be good, very responsive and good battery.
Unfortunately....there is an issue (on my device anyways) with the screen rotation not working. I have tried every possible configuration under screen rotation settings and it just wont rotate any screen or app.
After hours on google, this site and even submitting a post on here for help and getting no responses, I am going to give up on Lineage and move to RR I think.
My device is the LG G3 LS990
Allow me to join this thread too, I am confused on choosing the better rom too.
My standard on choosing rom is
1st: battery life
2nd: speed (performance)
3rd: customization on layout
Most important is battery life. I have tried many roms, I flashed AOSP-CAF for its pure android & slim, but I cant even use wm density command, plus customising the notification tiles.
---------
I flashed Fulmics, Tek-Cafe and crdroid, stock based & crdroid cannot read my SIM contacts, and crdroid drains battery pretty fast.
--------
I am using Cloudy G3 now but there are bugs making music app force close sometimes, if there are no good custom roms, I will be flashing back stock v10n. Since Kingroot is not compatible woth v30c D855...
----------
Which rom would you recommend in my situation?
Another question: will lowering size to 1080P, and DPI, increase the battery life and performance of the phone?

I moved from STOCK ROM because the voice dial through bluetooth does not work neither Lollipop v21a nor Marshmellow v30b, v30n..
Hands free Voice dial does not work on Fulmics 7.6 as well.
Instead it works with RR and LineageOS but the Camera and stabilty are bad.
What is the most Secure ROM
CRDROID ROM is currently the best now... That's what I'm using right. I promise you won't regret using it... Hit the link to download https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=228321
I have an LS990 and I've had tons of NO SIM issues with CrDroid (both versions). I'll be going back to fulmics for stability and better camera.
Itried many newwest Firmware . Most of It By hardStyler . its good but some kind of many Bug Like in f400 They cannot detect Storage .. You need to go on TWRP mode To transfer file on pc ... For me the best Firware Are Lineage 14.1 Nightly Build... Stable and Fast.. Oreo Is bit Unstable for now Many thing need to Improve... For stability Chose Lineage heres link https://download.lineageos.org/

Battery life looked better than stock in most ROMs, but the biggest gripe from my side is the sound/volume. For example, Invicta ROM has everything you would expect from a custom ROM (according to me, its the only ROM you could have for the moto g4 plus), but I immediately came out of it as the in-call volume and speaker volume are way too low - which are the BASICS for a phone. After this, I tried out several ROMs and all appear to have the same issue. Stock is the way to go buddy, because at the end of the day, you can live without all those features, but without hearing the other person on a call or unable to hear a sound playing out of your phone will totally turn you off.
Hope this helps.

I have been using LOS on my moto g4 plus since it was officially released (7.1.1 now 7.1.2) and I have seen how the devs take leaps and bounds when making a custom rom stable. In the beginning, LOS was far more stable than any other rom and that's why I used it however it still had significant battery drain. Today LOS is very stable on 7.1.2 and the battery life is pretty much the same a stock rom, however with more power saving features. I am now using resurrection remix official (7.1.2) for the moto g4 plus because, due to it being based off LOS, the battery life is around the same as LOS however it has many more features which is why I use it. If you are looking for stability and good battery life, look no further than the stock rom (at least until the custom roms are stable) because on the custom roms there are still many bugs that need to be fixed and sometimes random battery drain. If you want customizability and the bleeding edge versions of Android, go for a custom rom. I suggest resurrection remix because it is a great mix of stability and customizability, however, most custom roms will be fine (just make sure to look at the reviews and make a backup)
Hope this helped

Battery life is almost the same when compairing the stock rom to the LOS(on Stock kernel). But I must suggest you using the Elemental x kernel with the Lightning Blade tunables. The Kernel tunables give you a noticable amount of battery life increase.
LOS is the most Stable and battery efficient rom available for the Moto g4 plus.
One thing that I noticed on the LOS is that the battery percentage drops very quickly while playing games.

Yes but you'll lose out on other Nougat features and security protection.
Stock Rom has better battery life since the March security update. I was on LOS Invicta, because I wanted to be on the latest Android OS and security updates. But I just got tired of the many bugs, reboots, and updating to the newest release to fix other previous bugs. Stock is now improved and I do miss the Invicta customization, but I like how everything works right on Stock.
On stock the camera works better, for some reason it charges faster, and everything works perfect on Stock. Also Moto has been releasing the security updates faster than any other manufacturer. So for now I am going to be sticking to Stock.

Sadly, custom ROMs (LOS and RR) on Moto G4 Plus are really bad in terms of battery and stability. I only tried those two and I had bad experiences with them to the point that the inestability and power consumtion beated the other good things such as customizations and all that great custom ROM's stuff that stop being important when your phone starts rebooting, heating, and cant handle one day without charging constantly. But you should try them, maybe you wont experience those things. What I can say is from my experience with those ROMs.
However, I have LOS on my Moto G2 and it works like a charm on it.

Is there a possibility of porting the stock PIE rom from either G7 or other Moto phones down to the G5 plus? I don't care if it is 32 bit or 64 bit. Would not it be awesome to the stability of stock plus the sweetness of PIE?

I don't think so. There's a ***load of custom Pie ROMs out there, stock like, pixel like and what else you want. They're all based on the kernel source of the Moto G5+. A Moto G7 is a completely different device and porting that software would be inefficient and almost impossible.
Also I don't see any advantage in doing something like this, the difference between a G5 and a G7 is 90% hardware, not software.

I say why not? With so much overload of PIE roms for the G5 plus all over with major issues like low in-call volume, low media volumes, the "hyped Gcam" not able to take decent nonstuttering videos, would it not be prudent to have a stock PIE rom ported from either the G7 or G7 power which would definitely work out in terms of better performance for our G5 plus?
Do they even have custom ROMs for the g7 yet?

That's your opinion. These are not major issue in most people's eye. If you consider this things issue no one is forcing you to you use custom roms. Most of the users including myself don't mind these things.
That's your opinion that stock is better most of the people and devs don't share your opinion.
Second most of the devs and users don't want to use stock Android. When devs themselves don't want to use stock why would they try to port it. As it's just a hobby as most of the devs are collage / school students they do it as their hobby. They won't develop something which they don't use.
Third it's waste of time and energy most people want to use latest android in their limited budget. When q is around the corner no one waste that much of a time in this.
And last at littery require lots of work which is not feasible.

I think that it is 'hyped' for a reason. And, as far as I can tell, ported apps tend to show more problems. There are many options around that could probably take better, 'nonstuttering' videos, you can go ahead and try to find one that suits you.

Porting can lead to many, many bugs. Its not like you could just copy and paste and call it a day. Lot of work has to be done. If nobody did it yet is probably because either there is no reason (eg there is already a stock version, many custom ROMs available, etc) or because it would require so much work that it isn't worth it.

Now that i bought moto one power after using stock android pie now i get what you were trying to say. Its lot better experience overall. Because its android one phone it has all pie goodness like app actions , slices , digital wallbeing , proper pie recents with search bar and predictive apps in recent apps with moto goodness like moto display , chop chop .

My main complaint with stock ROMs when compared to customs ROMs on all of the Moto phones I have owned (5 of them) is bloat. Secondly, performance and battery life tend to be sub-par. I have tried several custom ROMs on my G5+ and they all have pros and cons. That said, I recently settled on ArrowOS Pie with Opengapps pico and am quite satisfied. It has great performance and battery life without any of the apps I don't need or want. Furthermore I don't see any of the issues you mention above. Finally, the camera works well and doesn't have the lag seen in other versions. Give it a try! :good:
