Database Develop

Can't we mod the stock 5.1 ROM for better performance

I know that this is a ridiculous request since all of you are contributing here without any gains, and no body can demand something to be done for free!
But, I was wondering, with so much development going on over CM based ROMs for Moto X, why is there no ROM that is being developed by changing the stock rom?
I guess it is because the source for the stock ROM is unavailable, but wouldn't there be other ways to mod the ROM? I want to know this because I feel the performance of ROMs available here (on Moto X Development forum) is far better than the stock ROM. However, I love the active display and Moto Voice features of stock.
I tried using xposed and got most of the features (IME keys,RAM bar,lockscreen mods, clear all in recents, etc.) on stock 5.1, but my phone is too slow, compared to from when I was using Carbon/AICP/Resurrection ROMs (Thanks to those devs again).

Once the sources are available for 5.1 modding will happen.

5.1 was just released be patient but if you want a modded rom with stock features, try eclipse 4.4.4

Resurrection remix by mrunalkaran (cm based , cm themes) or Tesla (Aosp based, Layers manager) , these are roms with no major bugs or noticeable bug
Features -RR (has more features than Tesla, battery backup of 4hrs +)
Battery backup - Tesla (has lesser features compared to RR, but has better battery life 6hrs+)

There is nothing such as best roms.
Everyone has his or her own preferences/taste. You might like a piece of software which others wont.

Try Minimal OS by Vatsal
One of the best!

1. CyanogenMod 12.1
2. Minimal OS
3. AOSP
These are the three ROMs I have used (currently using CyanogenMod), and all of the above three are very much stable. AOSP is stock experience, but if you want additional features, you can go for CyanogenMod. Battery backup is more or less same for all the above ROMs.

Stock 6 is stable

My personal Favourite is the Orion LP, I keep going back to this ROM as it's stable, fast and RAM management is quiet good as well.

Best Rom?

Hi Guys,
My moto G 2014 lags quite a bit and the battery backup is horrible .. I'm on stock currently.
I'm new to rooting and stuff, so need suggestion as to which is the best (not fast, but just no lags .. battery is very imp) .. I'm not a gamer or anything, just normal whatsapp and photos, thats all.
Thanks

all rom are best. please choose rom according to your choice and like

OK so here is my opinion, (note it's My opinion)
Stock based : Radium Redefined v1.2
Cm 12.1 : Fusion LP or Orion
Cm 13 : Vatsals Optimised Cm 13 Builds
AOSP 5.1.1 : Minimal Os
AOSP 6.0 : haven't tried any type yet.
I've used all with just Whatsapp, Uc Browser, 2 games and a couple of music apps.
All the above give me more than 5 hrs of SoT with little gaming that is.

For me cm13 official

I try :
Cm 12.1 : works well but some bug time to time
Cm 13 : I love marshmallow but big big problem with sim network provider, always lost connection and poor battery
SlimSaber 5.1.1 : the best for me.
I really waiting good connection and battery life with marshmallow.....

I use stock kitkat 4.4.4, rooted+xposed for some modules(greenify, amplify...), unistalled some system apps that I dont use. I downgraded from Minimal OS because of battery backup and reliability. Now I am getting AT LEAST five hours SOT with heavy usage, a lot of youtube, whatsapp and FB. No force closes unless you unistal something you need for the phone to work properly but you can fix it with a Nandroidbackup.
However, if you mind having the look of lollipop I definitely recommend Minimal OS as it is VERY VERY STABLE, it has the best battery backup on any lollipop rom I tried (at least 7 roms), I think i faced 3 reboots in 2 months since it was my daily driver other than that, rock solid.

Best roms for moto g 2nd gen (xt1068)
The following roms are the most stable roms i have ever used on my moto.
1. Blisspop. (with maximum customisation) BlissPop-v4.0.3-titan-OFFICIAL-20151031-1345
2.Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Minimum customisation) cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-titan
Try them, you will definitely love it.
Cheers

I'm using minimal OS and i have any single lag (on other rom's there are many as you said) also battery backup is very good. You have to try it!

THIS is what I'm using...
I've been using Nexus Experience 10.1 with Extended Kernel and am extremely happy with it. No bugs, very smooth, excellent battery life, and pulled a 29203 on AnTuTu Benchmark(Would post a screen shot but am not allowed).
YMMV, as they say...

I would suggest you Minimal OS 5.1.1 . It's very stable, no bugs what so ever. Integrated kernel is very battery friendly but you can have any kernel you want really (Halogen R14 is my choice) . RAM management is on top of what the device is capable of and it got everything you need in terms of customizing your device while keeping it clean and not overloaded like CyanogenMod.

Not that there is any "best rom" but here is my opinion:
6.0.1 -> Broken OS by ishubhamsingh
5.1.1 -> (1).SlimSaber by aayushya, (2).Minimal OS by vatsal
Stock -> definitely 6.0 over 5.0.1
I recommend SlimSaber as I am a huge fan of Slim, the roms are always very fast and light, which means good battery. If you want a pure AOSP experience, go for Minimal OS
As far as kernel goes, Decipher kernel is really great. The kernel that comes with broken os is also very good. Rest kernels have too many features which may end up slowing it down

5.1.1 definitely Resurrection Remix ROM (v5.5.9)

What's the best ROM?

Hey guys, i have installed the stock MM rom from Motorola, but it is so slow, and i want to change my rom, what custom rom do you think is the best? And what you think about Kitkat versions? Are they too outdated or is worthy to install one of them nowadays? Thanks!

I've been using CM12.1 as my daily driver, works good enough for me.

Minimal Os (5.1.1.). Best rom for the Moto G 2014 imho.

Best Custom Rom

Hi Guys,
which Custom Rom would you recommend flashing on our Moto X at the moment?
Any suggestions appreciated

Resurrecction or cm13.
Rest are Cm based

SlimKat

I use stock kitkat fully debloated with a custom kernel because the amout of bugs and the poor battery life of >5.0 drives me crazy.

Cyanogenmod 13 is still only nightly status, I update regularly but I still have random problems/unreliability with it. My preference would be a solid AOSP style ROM, even if it were Lollipop.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences
