Looking to upgrade my stock android for Xperia V since it is no longer supported by google, kindly recommend one that is stable and can be used as a daily driver. Also mention issues if there are any compared to stock ROM. Thank you.
I'm currently running @WhiteNeo 's CM12.1. I find it very stable. (I am having problems with celular reception, but suspect it is hardware related.) Requires an unlocked bootloader, though.

I must point out you can get more recent versions of CM on Xperia V, but I prefer tried and true roms
I'm using WhiteNeo's final CM12.1 build since January and haven't had any issue so far. Perfectly stable.
Adrian DC claims his latest CM13.0 to be stable. Can anyone say if it's worth the upgrade? To me stability is above all, but runtime is also important.

Yes, CM 13 works perfect. I've been used it for all time I have Tsubasa.

Nightly versions are not considered stable. You can expect some bugs and issues when using nightly versions but in general they are relatively stable, you might not notice any bugs at all. You really have to test them to know, they are automatically compiled (not tested) so one version might be very stable and the version 2 days later can have some issues. If you are comfortable dealing with minor issues and flashing roms then you should be fine. If you want a 100% stable phone then nightly versions might not be for you.

There is no stable release of CM12 yet and don't expect one soon. I think they never released a stable version of cyanogenmod for the M7. The most "stable" version released were snapshot versions of CM11. If you are unsure about using nightly version then wait for the first CM12 snapshot version. Snapshot version is the most stable nightly of the month.

yeah, about snapshot i was talking, but thers isnt any release yet , so i will try the nightly !
I'll be dead honest. If you are looking for rock stable then stay stock. All roms have issues. Mainly for devices like the m7
What about gpe edition ?

When I say stock I meant official releases and as this version of a device with both OEM and gpe then both can be considered stock. So it's up to you which one you go wirh
Hello everyone,
I've always liked CM and the different features it offers, so I was planning to flash latest Snapshot since I would like to use it as my daily driver. What's your experience with it? Any major bugs? Is it stable enough? Or should I consider something else, such as Xposed + some modules (such as GravityBox)? I'm currently running latest stock build 5.1 (LPE23.32-14.2).
Thanks for your help.
The latest snapshot isn't bad, but I've had more success with the nightlies simply because they have patches that haven't made it into the snapshot builds yet. I'd say try out a couple nightlies and just stick with one that doesn't have any issues for you.

Could you recommend any nightly in particular to begin with?
I'm on the 10/25 nightly and haven't run into any major issues yet.
Sony said, No more Z1 OTA. sadly.:crying:
So I want to know.
Is it possible to change the 'sony stock' + 'marshmallow'
+ 'custom(like Rockz1l)' + 'porting(z5, X series... Whatever)' rom
in the future?
Sorry for bad Eng.
I wish it is possible.

No, because you need Marshmallow sources from Sony, which they'll never release.
Z1 is done and obsolete. If you really want the latest Android version, download the unofficial CM/AOSP Marshmallow ROMs; otherwise, buy a new phone. Although CM/AOSP MM build has been released a while ago, they're still full of issues (camera is bad, low battery life, etc.). They're still under active development, so things may change in the future. I recommend staying with Lollipop because it's stable and has excellent battery life.

I'm on 5.1.1 Kai rom + rockz1l kernel.
and I love sony features.(DSEE HX, Sony camera...)
So, I wish what I said, but it can't....sadly :crying:
maybe, buy used Z2 or X series is best choice in current situation.

People had success with porting Sense 6 to hammerhead, and it's surprisingly usable with some issues considering it's a non-source port for an entirely different device.
Porting a proprietary ROM is a pain as it mostly involves trial-and-error to find out what's preventing the ROM from booting up but we will see if a similar project appear for the Z1
Guys, I would like to extend my Xperia V for another 2 years perhaps, please mention best and stable build for daily use, since there are many builds out there and I am confused. Please note that I am not a techie and I don't want to install upcoming builds either. I just wanted to bring my device from old android (jelly bean) which is not supported to latest android(at least lollipop) so that I can install latest apps.
Note: Also please mention if there are any issues in your recommended build compared to stock android version for reference. Thank you.
Hello.I have an Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and I'm using the optimized lineage os from 19 jan. Could anyone recommend me a good and stable ROM for everyday use but in the same time to have performance ?
CM11 is what you need.Here you go: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58442741&postcount=1112
Make sure you install the latest build(20150126).

But it's not a little outdated ?
If security is what you want,then you should install the latest LineageOS build.There is a i9505 up-to-date kitkat build,only if I knew how to port it,or if someone could port it.
If xposed is important to you go with CM13 (MM). That is my choice now, 28/dez + my mic fix works very well.
If you like Samsung style go with WizCyan (LP)
Otherwise go with RR or LOS (N)
Miui 8 is another alternative (MM)
For performance don't move apps to storage, uninstall all apps that you don't use (included system ones), install Kernel Adiutor and do tunning like this:

Our RR is stable. At least the newest version... I'm using it as daily for more than a week now, no problems whatsoever.

As soon as xposed is available to N, that will be my daily choice. Thanks for the builds!
I don't know which modules you need but most things that required xposed on LP are now integrated into N.
Especially in RR version which is highly customizable.

I am crazy or something but stock rom moves smoother than any custom rom or I am doing something wrong when I m installing custom rom.
I had stock LP ROM with only deodex and xposed running and it was never as smooth as Nougat...
