Best rom on this phone for STABILITY and SPEED?

Have been on true pure since day one... Great stability and speed. Can anyone recommend anything else though? Am looking for a reason to try something new.
As title says , all I really care about is stability and speed. Thx

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.

How do work the gestures on DU? Just like on the stock? Worse/better?

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.

After testing Tesla, DU, RR, crDrpid, and tipsy, I can say DU is best nougat ROM and like @acejavelin said BrokenOS is best Marshmallow ROM
I also agree that stock untouched is best way to go besides custom ROMs

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?

Don't use the one directly from Moto/Lenovo, it is actually the original MM release from 2015

I'm using AICP (which I'm assuming you mean) too and I love it. I tried to go back to a stock based ROM and I hated it. It's very fast and has been extremely stable for me.

I'm thinking this post should be marked as solved by OP, as he has said he would flash a stock image. All the other custom ROMs mentioned are great choices too though!

OPwas looking for stability and speed, and DU and BrokenOS have been found to be most stable and smooth ROM's out there, if OP does not want stock. @Cowbell_Guy should mark this post as solved so far @acejavelin has hit the nail on the head for what the OP asked.

Which should be the best (working) ROM for Samsung J5 (SM-J500f)?

I triedAOSP and Lineage OS. But both of them showed the fading and discoloration of the screen during boot, meaning that they were compatible. I am currently downloading the Stock firmware but would like to know whether there are any better ROMs out there than these.
Edit: The stock firmware is giving invalid zip error.

No, read OP, you need Lollypop firmware, just install 5.1 then install this Ron or any time that requires firmware 5.1
You also need recovery compatible with 5.1 like TWRP from Vince (OFFICIAL TWRP) you can download from TWRP site https://twrp.me/devices/j5lte.html

It all depends, if you want to have great camera or you are into taking pictures, never flash AOSP roms, because their camera is a loot worst compared to touchwiz camera (samsungs camera app is optimized like hell)

If you are curious and want to unveil your phone's power I suggest you AOSP/Lineage based ROMs.
Camera isn't enhanced as stock propietary crapwiz one, but works fine. If you love pictures, better you go with a pro Cybershot camera or similar.
I prefer paying the price of freedom and use free software than stay tied to proprietary closed source crapwiz.

Yup it almost works on all Samsung MM based Custom Roms or Ports like A5UX Rom , J2UX Rom etc.

Im also pretty keen to know what ROM you guys think is most suitable ? I am currently using stock 5.1.1 rom on J500F, anything better out there ? Would doing a factory reset on stock 5.1.1 and removing bloatware maybe be the best ? Not trying to hijack the thread but as mentioned im also looking for something as stable with less bloatware and better battery life. Thank You !

You can't get better battery life than stock lollipop + hard debloat, period.
Lollipop is the best for me, plus camera sucks on all custom roms

the smoothest rom is XeonHD , and AOSPextended both are extremely optimized except the camera is not that good , if you don't take pics often i suggest that you install either of them

AOSP-CAF based, are the goods. XenonHD is the better Lineage based rom. You have many options to choose one that fits your needs. Camera is fine, I don't complain about that, You should try to choose the better one that fits your needs.

Thanks for the reply Ragazzza, could i ask which method you used to debloat ? Also did you possibly install a custom recovery and root the phone ?

Picture quality is extremely important for me, i am leaning towards stock.
Have you ran into any problems with XenonHD Taivo ? You say the camera is fine, do you mean its not that much worse than with the stock rom but a little bit of a degradation ? Thanx

i didn't run into any problem in xeon an excellent rom , i recommend it

i could always give them both a try, you guys recommend this method to debloat ? https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

@Ragazzza debloat zip is very nice if you're in stock. XenonHD satisfied me, very nice and smooth ROM. You should give a try to test by yourself. My better pictures I got with my Cybershot camera. Pictures are fine for daily use, and you have Vince's TWRP that works in lollipop and marshmallow, you choose the correct for your device. And from within TWRP you could debloat too, using the embedded explorer or flashing Ragazzza zip or whatever you want even with no root in your system.

Without twrp, better you try that no root debloat you show us before..
And if you follow correctly the steps to flash twrp, dont need to be afraid. Its from twrp that you could flash a debloater zip, for example, even without root...
You can stay with stock debloated, twrp and no root.
Hope you understand.

Installing now, and will dig into it once I get home from taking the kids to school!

Ok, so far it's running great. I haven't gotten to really dig deep into it like I planned due to a busy day, but I did learn that YouTube still runs like trash. I honestly think it's the app, not the ROM, since it has been this way across several ROMs, and more than a couple devices. I found a little bit of screen flicker when plugged in and in landscape view. This cleared up immediately by disabling ambient display (which I don't think is even usable on the nooks anyway). Other than this, I have nothing to report, all is working as desired!

Ahh, good old amaces. He's been at it for a long time too! I bounce around ROMs from time to time depending on what I want to use my Ovation for. His ROMs are pretty solid and stable too, but I wanted to give old-school KK a try again. I've alwayse liked the split-screen menu layout it used over the newer versions too.

I used to have a working Hummingbird, but it's got a bad battery, and I haven't replaced it yet, so I'm not quite as versed on it as the Ovation anymore. I do know that he's got a following of people that test on the Hummingbird since he doesn't have one himself, and aside for trivial things like the boot screen's orientation being upside down, his' ROMs are known for being quite stable. I remember my Hummingbird feeling faster then my Ovation, but that's also due to the GPU not being taxed as hard as it is on that 1080p display. I remember I had MANY hours of use in on that Hummingbird with his ROMs at the hands of my kids. So much use the battery wore out. Never had any issues with it on the software side that I remember. Now you have me wondering if I can mod mine to fit an ovation-ish battery into it for longer life...

I haven't tried, or heard of before now, unlegacy on my ovation. So far, your ROM is a very well done re-release of CM11. As for the other, newer ROMs on Ovation, yes, they run quite well. I've only tried amaces' ROMs, and he put a lot of hours, and software tweaking magic into getting it to runt he way it does. I'm going to try this new stuff tonight I think. Just to see what it's about.
Update: I can't get Un-Legacy to boot, so I would say it's not as stable as hoped

Sorry, did you flash the LineageOS 11 (4.4.4) ROM or the 7.1.2 one also mentioned in this post? My previous experience with anything newer than KitKat on this device was that performance was too slow. I'm back on CM 11 at the moment but would be tempted to flash a newer ROM.

I flashed the recommended 7.1.2 and seems to work great for my use. I use it mostly as a media player in my shop. for google music, tunein, iHeart, and HDHomeRun, but HD HOMErun stops streaming after 30 seconds, must be due to 512meg memory on the system. But Plex works with out an issue.
Its connected to a car radio in my shop and works great and responsive. I do leave it plugged in beacuse its always in the same spot.
Thanks again, if I start having any issue,' ill let you know.

I do have both a hummingbird and Ovation - both on the old 4.4.4 ROMs as anything newer had too much lag. Which ROM exactly are you trying to install and what recovery version are you on? I seem to remember that the 4.x ROMs needed the old recovery to install.

OPTIONS for MANTA after LOS 13 KILLED

Now that the lineageOS team has stopped LOS 13 updates for manta, what other ROMs work well? Ones that include monthly security updates and are stable (enough)?

Yeah, not only that but the latest OTA is hot garbage. Why use the new kernel if it offers no noticeable improvements and only introduces a huge regression bug (buggy audio jack)?
Monthely security updates?
you have a 2012 tablet, give that dream up now.
Stable?
A quick peep in the android developement gives that away. Some of my favorites for Nexus 10: Phoenix OS, Remix OS, Omnirom 6.0.1 (tablet navbar support!!!)
My personal reccomendation?
Phoenix OS. It has a great tablet UI and allows you to switch to normal phablet UI whenever, and doesn't murder your battery like Remix OS.

Im using latest LOS 13 and it has gotten way better then the nightlies before
even audio jack works.
i thnk i will stick to that for the next time

@ Galaxyninja66
I haven't move from Jan update to the last Feb nightly yet,...
but I disagree... Yes, I agree if the older Kernel is stable and secure, no need to update. Disagree because, none of the ones you mentioned, have the latest ASB fixes included. @followmsi is going to keep this going not sure for how long... he has four versions going... 14.1 and 15.1 based on AOSP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/development/rom-t3584526 AND AND 14.1 and 15.1 based on LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/development/rom-lineage-14-1-20170216-unofficial-t3557735, which also includes instructions to revert back to the old kernel for audio fix... unless I am mistaken!
Thanks for the info on RemixOS versus PhoenixOS... I did not however see PhoenixOS on manta android development... page 1.

Yeah, not only that but the latest OTA is hot garbage. Why use the new kernel if it offers no noticeable improvements and only introduces a huge regression bug (buggy audio jack)?
Monthely security updates?
you have a 2012 tablet, give that dream up now.
Stable?
A quick peep in the android developement gives that away. Some of my favorites for Nexus 10: Phoenix OS, Remix OS, Omnirom 6.0.1 (tablet navbar support!!!)
My personal reccomendation?
Phoenix OS. It has a great tablet UI and allows you to switch to normal phablet UI whenever, and doesn't murder your battery like Remix OS.

Were is the Problem? Just install the old kernel over the last LOS nightly.

Good thread. I am wondering if there is anything better than LineageOS 13. So far the best for me..

Lineage version 20170509 seems to fit. Flash via TWRP, wipe cache/dalvik. At first start I had 2-3 reboots but after optimisation with sd maid it works fine for me.

Using it as a Hybris base, and I can't find the kernel commit that broke the headphone jack so I am angry. Also its not that you *can* just flash the old kernel, it's that you *have* to flash the old kernel. If most people are just flashing the old kernel why even use the updated one? That's like me releasing an update to an office application that forces you to restart the app every time you want to switch orientation, and offering an older version of the app for people who don't like this.

Did that, but with this kernel i do not have hw decoder support. At least audio jack works.. thanks

I moved to Nexus Pure Android ROM 7.1.2 and it is amazing. So fast, smooth, audio jack works, hw decoding as well.. so far way better than LineageOS 13 or 15.1.

Now if that camera works, I'm gonna believe every single word you say.

I have not say anything about camera. I never wanted/needed camera to be working. I prefer fast and stable system for youtube, movies watching and for that Nexus Pure ROM is amazing. You should try.

I'm a total noob with an old Nexus 10. I'd like to put something new on it. Nice it would be to have more Linux-like capabilities, but not absolutely necessary. This thread has given me hope, but as a total noob you're talking over my head. What would you folks suggest?

The problem is that when I build hybris-hal with the busted up kernel it breaks pulseaudio, and in order to apply a patch I shouldn't even need to apply, i not only have to rebuild hybris-hal with the old kernel, I have to build a new base rom with it. so no, it is not as easy as just "flashing the new kernel over the LOS install" and frankly, if the new kernel breaks more than it fixes, then we shouldn't upgrade, if anything, the NEW kernel should be the optional one.

Which one is currently (Oct-2018) the best XT907 Custom ROM to use?

Good afternoon!
Well, after being loyal to this Motorola for a couple years, I finally got on my hands a XT907 with Android 4.1 (that means I can unlock bootloader for free! YAY!)
Since something like January 2017, I want to have a higher Android version on a Motorola RAZR M. Back then, I had a couple ROMs on a list what I wanted to test. However, I got a XT907 capable of this 22 months later
So, now what we are on 2018 and things evolved a lot, I want to hear suggestions: Which one is, for you, right now, the best Custom ROM to use for a daily use? That means this XT907 will be my principal phone, so I'll use from Office Suite to Hotspot (Short words: I need a ROM fully functional).
Thanks in advance :highfive:

I have recently flashed CRDroid Android 7.1.2 shared by DiamondJohn, it looks great with Overclocking and extra customization, so far there is no bug apparently, and being on unlocked bootloader means you can switch to any rom after testing, i had cm 12.1 before this which restart it self randomly after somedays, so def Android 7.1.2 is so faar good one.

I see. I just installed to my mother XT912 LineageOS 14.1, and that is my first experience seeing a non-stock ROM on a Motorola hahaha
Just wondering: You need to overclock CRDroid Android 7.1.2 for it to run smoothly? Or I can just install it to run it well?
I don't have much experience going deeper on customization. The farthest I have went is Xposed Framework in Motorola, and Custom ROM/Kernel in Samsung

crDroid is the best android experience, but for the fastest and smoothest non android experience Sailfish OS 2.1 is the way to go.

Thank you! For now, I'm using CrDroid and my phone has been a bit laggy sometimes. However, nothing to worry about (for now).
Thanks for both answers!

Hows your battery so far ?
i was using CrDroid 7.1.2 , but as everyone know Lineage OS 14.1 and all other Nougat Rom have problems with battery calibration on our devices so i reverted back to Marshmallow Lineage OS 13, so far battery is working alright but not as good as Lollipop, so i might revert back to Kitkat Bootloader and then CM 12.1 after somedays.

My battery is running out faster than usual, but that isn't a problem for me (for now). I overclocked it with Kernel Adiutor (yeah, 'Adiutor') and it's working fine! :laugh:
