I have a Verizon LG G2 and i was wondering what your favorite Stock android/CM/AOSP/AOKP/etc. ROM was. I am on PAC-Rom right now on the latest nightly an i am looking for great battery life, stability, and smoothness. This is a poll, but leave a reply explaining why you like the ROM you are on/ like a lot so I can make a decision, and I know someone is going to say "Try some ROMs and see which one works best for you." But I already know that, I just want other people's opinions because I know development for the Verizon LG G2 isn't the greatest right now, It has the least support of all of the G2 variations other than the Korean model F320x. I want to help myself, and other's learn of some cool, stable, and smooth ROMs. Alright, 'nuff talking... What is your favorite 4.4.x ROM for the VS980?
Mahdi by far. Its based on AOSP with some great features.

I like AOKP for my device. The stability is the best for me. Very small amounts of sods and no other issues I can find on my day to day use. Seem to sod a lot more on other aosp ROMs. Every device seems to be different on what works best so I would try them all and decide.

I like CM11. It's been very stable overall (VS980) on the M4. I'm planning on trying out Mahdi and a couple others to see what features they have to offer. I've had great battery life with CM; close to a day and a half with 6-8 hours screen on time.
I've got to go with Plain Andy. I ran it for a few days before I jumped to 24A, and out was the only non-LG ROM that didn't give me any SODs or RRs.
Now, it's not nearly as customizable as many of the other flavors out there, but I found Xposed + Gravity Box gave me ask the features I wanted.
Im currently on liquid smooth. Been three days and I haven't gotten an sod. First reboot was this morning, but I can deal with reboots versus sod's.
Illusion, plain Andy, and liquid all run roughly the same kernel, so they should all have about the same stability.

I love SlimKat :good:
:highfive: It's only 155MB, very slim along with minimal Gapps, and very fast and stable.
Liquid smooth/CM11
Liquid smooth seems to run very beast on my G2....no problems at all

I have an Atrix HD, rooted, with unlocked JB bootloader, and I've also done the MAXX battery MOD. I haven't had this phone long and it seems to be a bit laggy, and a battery hog on the stock firmware. I am not partial to JB or KK so I am pretty open to suggestions. All I am looking for is SPEED, STABILITY, and BATTERY LIFE, and of course the LEAST amount of bugs possible. TY all in advance! :good:
ROM recommendation posts are a dime a dozen around here, and the answer is always the same: figure it out for yourself by browsing the development forums for your phone, and flash the one that fits what you want.
Thanks

Thanks but thats what I've been doing for the past almost 2 weeks now. I only asked because there is ALOT of developement already for this device and it looks like EVERYTHING is buggy as Hell so far so I was really looking for a USEFUL suggestion. But thanks a bunch.

No, not everything is buggy as hell. The majority of them run just fine and are good enough for daily drivers. If you installed one, you'd see for yourself.
I understand that you want a perfect ROM but there isn't one. You've gotta take what minimal bad there is with the good. Even stock ROMs have bugs.
The best advice is to flash a ROM that sounds good and see if you like it. Hell, that's half the fun!
Thanks Dr. Orange

I understand what you are saying, and I have been checking them out, I'm on CM11 now, and have tried Holoblur, and a couple others. I've went through this with literally 13 devices now so I'm not new to this. I was simply asking the community for the best ones that they have used from their experience. I have asked this question on XDA about all of my other devices and normally people respond with just what I said before. Its just a lot easier when I can narrow it down between a handful of ROMs that are DD material.
What has been your favorite so far Doc?
Ah yes! Had to make sure you weren't just asking for the best instead of researching for yourself! I guess I could've been a little more helpful from the beginning...
My most important feature is pie controls, second is tied with customizing options and battery, So right now, carbonROM is perfect for me. I'm running the 8/04 jbbl build and it works great.
I have the MAXX battery mod so battery isn't as important, but I still want it to last all day.
Team Gummy works well too. The only build for our jbbl phone that works is the April build 2.0. It's light and battery life is good too. Also has pie, not as many customizable options.
Those are my KitKat choices, I'm not sure of the 4.3 Roms other than the last time I had a 4.3 PAC ROM installed it worked really well with excellent battery life. 4.3 Roms are arguably the most refined, but development has shifted towards KitKat obv.
That's pretty much all I know.
Awesome!

That my friend is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for the input... I will definitely try your recommendations next. I also did the MAXX MOD on mine the other day with the EB40 battery and cutting of the inner frame, but just like you I definitely want it to be able to last all day. Lol, I know there is no perfect ROM, I just didn't wanna be crack flashing for the next couple months with as many nice sounding ROMs there are for this phone. Either way, your info is extremely appreciated, and thanks for the heads up on Gummy. I typically look at a ROM's OP first to look at the features then look through the last couple pages to see if and what issues it may have. It just got frustrating bc MOST posts end with people all talking about their damn RAZR's in the wrong forum lol. So thank you very much Doc.

4.3.1 unified build from 1 Feb 14 works well and has decent battery life with the battery mod, best battery life i have seen so far was on ATT's stock pre-heartbleed fix revision.
Thank you very much as well palm beach. I'm on Gummy 2.0 now (the one that works) that the doc suggested and I love it aside from some random systemui force closes so I think I will try your suggestion next lol.

I am gonna root and install a ROM tonight. I see dozens and I'm not sure what the major differences are. My old philosophy has been to pick the ROM that has the most thread views or posts.
The things that are important to me are stability and performance tweaks. I don't want much of the developer's personal customizations if possible.
Also, any tips before I get started? Thanks in advance.
just so you know, the most popular roms are usually the furthest from the best. popular does not equal best. my recommendation is either rastapop rom or terminus.
Rooted and installed my first rom in my nexus. Pure shamu. Awesome ROM, stable, quick and sufficient tweaks.

Can you tell me why you chose those two?
Chroma ROM.
The best advice anyone can give you is, try a bunch and decide for yourself. No body but you is going to know what is best for you. Read the ROM threads and see what users are saying. That's the best way.

rasta roms ive been running for years. its built by a very good friend, and he does lots of the actual coding himself. probably the cleanest roms around. terminus is also built by a good friend, he started learning 2 years ago, and he does it well. but he doesnt really code. but its a good rom nevertheless. terminus includes more tweaks than rastapop.

What do you need help with?
Also Chroma is based off Rastapop with some elements of terminus, not too many as I've drifted the ROM to other sources. Pretty clean as I go through everything and use test builds on a daily basis.
I ran across Purity ROM a few days ago and it's really good. You won't find it here though. Search Purity on Google plus.
Lots of really good ROMs for the nexus 6 though. That's why I love having a nexus.
SinLess ROM is smooth like butter, not very much customization as AOSP ROMS tho. If you are looking for a lot of customization, then the roms mentioned above are very nice.

I'm good now. Followed the guide and figured it all out. Just coming from the Galaxy series where there were programs that did it all for you. 1st time doing ADB installs.
Always slim
Hey everyone,
I am new back to the custom ROM game and I am wondering what is most stable right now.
I installed CMRemix yesterday but started getting "Google play services has stopped" loops and "cannot connect to camera."
I have been thinking about trading the device in for a Nexus 6, but I really enjoy the Note 4 and would just prefer to have a more stable build.
What do you guys think? I could always go back to Stock also, but that doesn't seem very fun.
This guy was 1 of the 2 developers for the s5.
I'm testing his rom out, right now.
Haven't run into any trouble.
Project Infinity:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3076657
Infinity and Alliance have both been rock solid. PacRom was great also
I have been using the SM-N910W8 port and it has worked well for me.Also I can recommend Alliance,Beanstalk and Pac-Rom also but there are so many choices for this model now. I say try them all and see which one caters more to your liking but remember to make a nandroid backup .
I've fallen absolutely head-over-heels in love with Alliance. I'd elaborate but I think pretty much every other thing I post these days is an ode to its perfection. I will however say that it's super stable and has unparalleled customization. You can theme almost every aspect of it on the fly. I've been getting above average battery life out of it too. Prior to finding Alliance iI hopped between a bunch of lollipop ROMs and Project Infinity was my favourite of the bunch back then out of the touchwiz based crowd, although if DynamicPop is anythinglike DK, aand I understand that it is, then that's most definitely going to be worth a look. Rapture /Arcadia (the one that has the most active development, I always get them mixed up) is a nice, stable no frills rom and pretty lean. As far as CM12/12.1 based ROMs Beanstalk has always been my favorite. CmRemix is great too, would give Beanstalk a serious run for its money, were it not for how wildly each release swings from super stable to a horrorshow so I found the whole process to be too stressful and full of compromise. When it's good it's great though. Unless something has drastically changed since I switched to Alliance Beanstalk is feature-packed, stable and easy on the eyes and battery.
In all honesty pretty much any of the lollipop Touchwiz based roms are pretty well put together and have one or more extremely dedicated and talented developers behind them
and you'll probably be happy with whatever you flash. AOSP ones seem to be a bit more hit-or-miss stabilitywise, but still have a lot to offer too. As someone else said, make a backup just in case and then flash away until you find the one that's right for you.
Hey guys,
I've had my T-Mobile S5 for about 2 months, bought it used after my S4 drowned in a swimming pool. So far I love the thing, and I've been trying lots of ROMs, but I can't seem to find one that matches the speed or battery life of the stock! What's up with that?
Memorable roms I've tried:
Cyanogenmod 12.1 Nightly
Tesla ROM for S5
TipsyOS for S5
All of these roms were stable, but they felt slow. Especially from waking the device while locked, it always seemed to take a few seconds for the display to pop up, as opposed to the almost instantaneous response from the stock (debloated) T-Mobile rom. Another issue was battery life, with the stock debloated rom I get insane battery life. Like I can use it all day and still have 60%+ when I get home from work. With the other roms I never had more than 20%. I gave each rom several days to "settle" but nothing seemed to change.
I'm skeptical that roms based on CM12.1 would be any faster/better, but I'm willing to try. I think AICP would be my next choice.
What do you guys have to say? Any fast/good roms out there for the S5 that don't kill battery life?
I found the same, tried a few popular custom ROMs, but none of them matched the smoothness, stability or battery life of stock
Samsung have really optimised their stock ROMs
I felt the same for a long time
I've felt mostly the same for the most part. I've had my gs 5 since the day it came out for tmobile. I really like it and all. But I've really been on the prowl for a good custom rom. Most of the best things aren't as stable as stock touchwiz.
I mean don't get me wrong there are a ton of custom roms (at least right now, a year ago not so much).
That said I have done extensive testing of alot of aosp roms. MY findings are below:
- The most stable rom I've used was probably a version of sokp rom from all the way back in may. Its not perfect, but pretty quick. I used it for 6 months before it suddenly started giving me bootloops which I think I caused by messing with xposed and my kernel. Overall, It has probably the best battery life and is the least volatile, but has little features and is outdated. Another thing to note is that I used ktoonez kernel with this so that maybe why battery life was better.
LInk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-sonic-kang-project-android-5-1-1-t3107139
-Another rom that I used frequently, and am currently using is Fusion rom. Its ever so slightly more buggy, and you have to find your own gapps but still stable. Not to mention that fusion probably has more features than any other custom rom out there. I cant speak for the battery life just yet, but its bearable. Another plus is their still updating it! Its also the fastest of the three IMO.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-fusion-v5-1-lp5-0-2r1-klte-kltespr-t3036933
- The last custom rom you should look into is dirty unicorns. Its not that big so you proabably havent heard of it, but its just as stable as the sokp rom. It has alot more features though, and is still updated frequently. Has alotta bloat though for an aosp rom, as isn't particularly fast for a custom rom.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development/rom-dirty-unicorns-v9-0-t3005670
Based on your memorable roms, I might also suggest looking into AICP which is suuuuuuupppper fast, faster than alotta roms but still only on nightlies.
Let me know what you think, and sorry for the long post I just got carried away.
I hope this helped
it's a useful subject indeed
thanks again

Long posts are the best posts! Anyway, the only reason I'm hesitant to try AICP is because it's CM based, and I had Bluetooth issues with the official CM. (I use Bluetooth every day for hours)
I think I'll try at least Fusion Rom, thanks for the insight! I'm hoping that SlimRoms will make a comeback and *hopefully* add support for our device. I used slim on a previous phone and it was phenomenal.
This is not a place to compare roms, but a place to share your experience with your current daily driver on your Oneplus 5.
What rom are you currently using?
How do you like it?
What is your overall experience with it?
Are you using it with a specific kernel or the built-in one?
Would you recommend it to someone?
Etc...
Let discussion begin!
Note: I think having a thread like this can help keeping development threads clean.
Good initiative!
I tried many Roms and Kernels since I've got my OP5 about an week and a half ago.
First thing i was getting rid of the "buggy" official stock rom haha. I played with it for a vew hours and gave in. Than i was preparing everything for unlocking, rooting etc..etc... It was easier than i thought! Didn't expect it!
First ROM i flashed was an unreleased BETA build from a team i being part off. Just to getting used to this device and playing aLOT with an optimized Kernel (also an build by the Team Dev) after a vew days, i was trying other ROMs, i mean no Roms that where close or based on stock OOS. More based on AOSP and LOS.
After a couple of days, i found my right ROM and Kernel combination so i ended up with:
"RR Unofficial" with "Blu_Sparky" Kernel!
I like the debloated version of RR and the battery friendly and easy tunable Blu_Spark Kernel with EX Manager.
I get about 9-10 hours SOT, since I'm not an heavy multitasker or gamer. Besides that, i'm facing no errors, no random reboots, no screen blackouts, or whatsoever! It is for me the Stable Combination!
Currently I'm waiting for an Android 8 Build by the Team Dev. Which is also going to be an AOSP based Rom with "hopefully" aLOT of Optimizations!
Easy does it
Edit: This was a newbie post. I won't recommend this anymore, since it is outdated and whatsoever...

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us. That's helpful! :good:
My first ever Android device was a Nexus 6P, and I ran only Pure Nexus on it. I then moved to the Pixel XL, and also primarily ran Pure Nexus. After basically two years of running an AOSP based ROM, I had only good opinions on AOSP based ROMs.
Because development seemed a little tricky for Pixels, I decided to switch over to the OnePlus 5. I, then, flashed a handful of AOSP based ROMs, hoping I would receive the same stability, smoothness, and just the right amount of features Pure Nexus has.
The results didn't seem to be the same. I am by no means bashing on, hating, or criticizing any AOSP based ROM that is available for this device, but I personally just did not feel the same smoothness as I did on Pure Nexus. I decided to try LOS based ROMs, and the unofficial RR has by far been the best!
It's smooth, stable, and very snappy. There is one thing that "bugs" me though (excuse the pun lol):
The VPN icon doesn't hide, unless you disable and reenable something else in the SystemUI tuner. This workaround only lasts until you restart the phone, or even restart the SystemUI
Another thing worth noting (which isn't a bug), there are some unneeded apps that I have to manually uninstall with TitaniumBackup, such as the Music app, the file explorer, and the default phone and contacts app (among a couple others). Very small inconvenience and it's not enough to keep me away from the ROM lol.
Other than that, it's an amazing ROM, especially because it already comes with a custom kernel, and YouTube AdBlock/Background Playback!
Going back to the AOSP based ROMs, just to further reinforce that I'm not trying to bash these ROMs: OnePlus 5 is still a relatively new device, and development is probably still in its early stages; I'll definitely give those ROMs another try down the road, and see how my experience is then.
Also, I wasn't on those ROMs for too long, so maybe I just didn't allow the OS to "settle". Not sure if this is even a real thing, but I've heard other users mentioning letting a fresh install of an OS "settle" before truly making any critiques/comments.
As for OOS based ROMs, I was on stock for a very short amount of time, and I also tried xXx, both great ROMs (especially xXx). However,when you have as many features/customization options as RR has, it's hard to use anything OOS-based, especially because there is no full Substratum support (which is super important to me).
Hope this helped!

Well elaborated. And as you know the device is very new, so hopefully custom roms will become more and more stable with time.
Thanks for sharing!
Share about your daily driver experience here. We want to hear how much you are enjoying your OP5.
I used Nexus 6p before i bought the OP5 and I think OxygenOS is one of the best roms build by a hardware building company. After some months I started to switch my kernel because I had a little bit drain and started to read in Xda what could help and now I am at my best every day use combination and it is OOS plus blu_spark it works stable and I can underclock it easily because I am a light user: Browsing, WhatsApp and Phone call sometimes Maps that's all what I need and this combo lifts my usage to 2 full days. I am not an SOT guy so the lowest Screen Off Drain is my Must Have.

Thanks for sharing!
Just a quick update on my daily driver:
In my previous post I mentioned being on RR Unofficial, but since then I have switched to Pure Fusion!
As you know from my previous post, I'm a huge PureNexus fan and Pure Fusion is based on that, so I flashed it in a heartbeat.
That with the stock kernel has been amazing, as I feel it provides just the right amount of features I'll most likely be sticking to this ROM for as long as I own this device!

Great to hear that. How do you find Pure Fusion compared to PureNexus you used to use?

As far as I can tell, it's pretty much identical. The settings for the ROM have the same UI, very similar set of features; maybe just a little more than PureNexus!
It's also fast, smooth and stable like PureNexus as well

Nice! Are you using N or O? How's signal?

I'm on N as there is no O build available just yet. Signal is completely fine, but I believe there were a couple of users having issues with signal strength.
I've encountered no bugs or issues thus far. I did have random reboots but a clean flash seemed to have helped
