There are so many roms for the Moto G4 Plus that it's quite confusing to decide which to try.
I'm interested in a ROM that is:
Relatively stable
Still receiving security patches
No major bugs (like Camera not working or other major issues)
Ideally (but not necessarily) passes SafetyNet without Magisk and Magisk hide
Not interested in tons of customisations
Oreo, Pie or 10
What would you suggest?

Pixel experience plus, Arrow OS 10 or LineageOS 15.1
LineageOS and Pixel experience plus are more stable.

How do these ROMs compare to Stock?

Stock ROM is on Oreo while these custom ROMs are on higher android version. Plus latest security updates and some new features that you can not find on stock ROM. May be not as stable as stock ROM in some cases but are very close to stable and with some improvements like battery backup, etc. If you are doing great with Stock ROM then no need to flash these ROMs.
I would like to have the latest security updates and, to a minor extent, a newer Android version, but not if the custom ROM is unstable. What I would not like to have is daily random reboots or the phone turning off when battery is still at 30% for example. Have these issues been solved?

I won't consider Arrow OS 10 because the camera doesn't work. LineageOS is on Android 8.1 whereas Pixel Experience Plus is on Android 9. Is the latter slower that the former or is the performance similar? I would consider using LineageOS with a nano Gapps to limit the background processes since I have a device with 2Gb of RAM only.
Do apps generally perform better (faster) with 64 bit ROMS? Instagram and Messenger are very slow amongst other apps on Stock Oreo ROM. Since my device has 2Gb of RAM, are 64 bit ROMs too heavy?

For those who tested both version of custom roms, what u guys liked and did not liked?
i'm new here and i already tested invicta, rr, viper and aex (aex is the best so far). i will test some mm custom roms for now

I believe Nougat ROMs will be better than Marshmallow ROMs.
Just one reason, time gap between release of G4/G4+ and Nougat is nearly 3 months (so development period will be less than 3 months), when actual development of custom ROMs was started, little after Nougat was announced. So developers haven't got enough time for development of MM. There will be device specific bugs.
I have tried OrionOS, it was fine!

I had tried invicta, rr, aosp extended, viper, aex too, then vanadium, telsa, los. I preferred rr for its customization capability and los for stability. Aosp for simplicity but los is there.
All i had tried were nougat based, and i was not liking mm as there were no significant update in there after lollipop (a major one).
Specific to Moto G4+, the device was introduced at a time when Nougat was nearing official release, so custom ROM development for Athene obviously started with MM - the version phones were shipped out with. Within a few months (Nov 2016 ish) Nougat overtook as the preferred Android version for both devs and users, across LOS and AOSP based roms. This was mainly due to Nougat offering considerable improvement over MM, which just as the last post points out, was merely a refinement of Lollipop.
IME, those who stuck with MM were mostly ones who couldn't do without Xposed, or prolly were ones who cautiously waited for an official firmware upgrade by Lenovo.
Based on my own experience, I find RR N to be far superior than RR M, in terms of performance and stability both. The fact that customization options which lie at core of RR didn't change much over the two Android versions should further point to why N is preferable over MM.
Invicta's fate sadly hangs in uncertainty and that is a huge loss given SileshNair consistently worked to get us stock-rom level stability and robustness on super feature rich ROMs.
Unless you're particular about being on the latest Android version, currently the best combination would be RR N whose recent version come shipped with Spectrum to let you choose the gov profile of your choice. Or you can go step further and get flar2's legendary ElementalX to tweak your phone all the way up! Plus with official Xposed N and rapidly updated stable mods , you can have best of all worlds - performance, features, battery life and functionality.
Tho I did switch over to Invicta Oreo a fortnight ago, I can still vouch for RR N + ElementalX + xposed (with greenify, amplify, xposed edge et al) combo to be most rewarding.
Hi everyone!
I'm new here so i'm sorry if i could make any mistake.
I have a OnePlus 2 with the original OxygenOS 3.6.1 and Android 6.0.1, i know that the support from OnePlus for this device was stopped. So I would get Nougat or Oreo to be uptodate but i don't know which version flash on my device but I would like to get a stable one.
Which one you recommend? I'm undecided between:
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-android-source-illusion-project-t3735083
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v6-0-0-t3747176
- Wait the stable version of LineageOS 14.X for Oneplus2
- Other
I hope you can help me. If you have any suggestions, you are welcome.
Thank you
Simone
AOSP is better and stable ,but pixel experience is smooth and reliable with less features than AOSP

Thank you for your opinion. Are you using one of these two? What do you think about Lineage 14.x/15.x?
I am using pixel experience atm , was using lineage oreo but faced a lot of lags and fc hence moved to pixel experience
I think cosmic os 8.1.0 has best performance, battery & customization

AOSP with nougat or oreo? Can you paste the link?
Is anyone still on this? Feels like one of the best if not the best custom rom atm for one that doesn't get updated. Smooth, stable, battery drains a bit fast with everything stock it might be better after I test with jojoc or schwifty kernel. It has working oreo Dolby unlike los, pie toggles/settings without being an actual buggy pie, and a lot or the most customizations without xposed. Performance feels faster than aex, stock oreo and about the same as los while looking nicer. los could only work with nougat UI Dolby and i know a lot of people like viper though i prefer oreo Dolby. Stock oreo is good and all but feels like not much of a reason for me to stay on it anymore except for slightly faster charging compared to all aosp roms. Havoc has a different look compared to the other oreo roms like how Chinese roms are except with working root and gcam. No slowdowns yet like AEX had but I need to test more first. I hope there isn't that video recording bug later on if I flash schwifty treble. So far so good for me there isn't anything that hasn't not worked how I wanted it to yet. Sad we lost such a great dev
Stock nougat is probably still ok if people want the best performance, battery, charging and some features like daydream that I never used at the cost of what looks to me like an outdated system, Dolby UI and no gcam. LOS might be best for latest security patches. The only problem havoc could have is maybe the headphone jack audio bug since it's old so I'll use Bluetooth for now if that helps. Also at first boot it was a little laggy then got way better somehow I think after a restart. Dolby app only showed with magisk 16.4 and nothing higher. Open for suggestions if people know more roms like this!
I'm using Nfounds pixel experience havok os Oreo and its the best ROM I have tried so far .it doesn't have Dolby but using neutron it sounds very good . battery not bad with average 4 to 5 hours SOT . I've tried treble pie ROMs and will wait a bit before going back to pie , I see no real reason apart from security updates to change ROMs

Thx I'll try it soon I didn't even know nfound had a PE build. Pie was a little buggy for me too unless I was using it wrong. Hopefully all of us can use them later because this phone being treble compatible should make up for the lack of custom roms
Havoc only problem seems to be slight delay when opening apps like other aosp roms. I don't think Chinese rom, stock nougat and oreo have this problem
Edit - tried dotOS and in love with it now. Feels like an updated havoc
im back on HavocOS treble from NFound,its still very good oreo rom for me...and for now.
I use it with b20 modified splash bootstack

I think I liked havoc mostly for Dolby oreo. Dot os has better performance and battery life is similar in both. Everything else about both is about the same too except that dot os is still being maintained every once in a while. I only got Dolby nougat working with dot os so far thanks to a user on telegram. Viper has been a good replacement for me too but if there's ever a working Dolby oreo I'll use that asap because it's what I'm used to

There are a few pie options for this phone. I haven't tried any yet. Just read all the threads they all have descriptions of what is in the room. So you have to do some research to figure out what is best for you. And I can't stress this enough. Read read read the directions for installing. There are a few extra steps involved in flashing pie because of the change to the filesystem or encryption or something. Also there is a fix if your phone has experienced the boot loop issue.
Personally I am waiting for los 16 because I know it will be be stable not saying the others are not but los is just what I have been using and cm before that so that's where I am comfortable. Good luck and happy flashing
I'm running the Pixel Experience ROM on my Nexus 6P. It's a really good ROM and works great!
I have tried all Pie roms for 6P, and by far all of that works quite perfectly. There're still some minor bugs like Volte not working or Wifi hospot broken, but overall almost all Pie roms is solid enough for daily use. In my opinion, you can flash any of them, all are very good, but I prefer unofficial AOSiP Pie because it provides a lot of customizations.
crDroid v7.4, Pixel Experience 11, ArrowOS 11 or Havoc-OS 3.12...
Which one is the fastest or/and uses less storage?
Thanks, folks!

hmmm i think the issue with ur request is that the "lightest" rom is not necessarily the one that works best @Bugs. arrowOS 10 is indeed very good, updated my gf's G5 Plus to it recently and no troubles so far. from what ive seen any android 11 roms are not ready yet in terms of bugs / running flawlessly. as for storage / ram, general rule of thumb: the newer the android version, the bigger the rom / more ram it uses.
however, u should be on the lookout for android go roms, pie and 10 coming soonish.

Yeah! It is lighter than stock rom. I haven't tested Android 11 based custom roms. Most of the them have tonnes of features,but I personally prefer Arrow os as it has all the necessary customisation and is very well optimised.
However,you will lose moto camera,when you switch to custom rom.so I recommend you to use a stable gcam mod like this one,
Parrot043: MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V8.apk
Download MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V8.apk by Parrot043.

Additionally flash a boot logo which will remove bootloader warning.

I might be too late but I flashed dotOS 5.2 on my Moto g9 plus and Moto camera is working just fine. Unlike custom camera apps it doesn't crash and the only issue is that doesn't work after updating via Play Store
