Android 5.1.x development is still happening, thanks to our talented developers However Kitkat Roms will give you the most stable and fully functional experience. Jcsullins and Milaqs CM11 builds are both great choices. I'm personally using Sumashs 4.4.4 PAC Man Rom, overclocked with Kernel Adiutor (ROOT) Increasing the default clock speed from 1.2Ghz to either 1.5Ghz or 1.7Ghz will give you a little extra performance boost. Everything you need to know and a list of the Roms is available in my full thread below, happy flashing.
[ROM GUIDE]How to install Android 5.x.x/4.4.x with Jcsullins TPtoolbox Super Easy Way
Thank you!
Evervolv
Even though Flintman is moving onto M which will be dropping next week or so, I gave this 5.1.1 rom a shot and was eternally grateful for his most recent update expanding bluetooth connectivity and the front camera to work. It does not do video as it will lock up, but stills are just fine in either orientation (landscape/portrait)

Nice thanks for the info, I didn't know Flintman had the camera working or decent BT support. Looking forward to seeing Android M on the HP TP:highfive:

I am surprised too! Still using TP few years. Bought it in China for funny 100 USD and it is some prototype with 3G module, Memory eMMC: Samsung 64Gb and LPDDR2: 8GB Samsung.
Using with ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.10.02 and absolutely satisfied.
Waiting for Marshmallow!
I have TPs running CM9, CM12.1 and Evervolv's AOSP Marshmallow 6.0.1.
I've been using CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1) for about as long as anybody here, and from my experience, it's pretty rock-solid. I've had fewer problems on that than I've had on my CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0) TP.
The TP running Evervolv's Marshmallow is still my "testing" tablet. If you don't need Bluetooth or the camera, it could be a daily driver for basic tablet use, but if I were a heavy user of Netflix and Skype (which I'm not), I would probably have a few more concerns about this early Alpha build. That said, this is getting really close. It's probably closer to a finished product than the first releases of Windows 95 were.
Thanks, xda!
Just a quick shout out to jcsullins and Roland Deschain for their collective works. I've successfully updated my old HP TP with Android 4.4.4 (CM11)! I'm not a dev guy, so the TP Toolbox was awesome and easy to use.
Thanks guys!
Just wanted everyone's updated opinion: Anyone have a list of stable Lollipop(v5.1+) roms that have both camera AND Bluetooth working?
thanks

Evervolv! The last update on their 5.1.1 had a working camera and bluetooth. I'll warn you that the bluetooth is not 'perfect' in that it will pair w/ just about everything, but won't move data necessary, example, doing file transfers won't work, but the audio works w/ no issues.

Thanks. Now I will have to decide whether I need to do Bluetooth file transfers or not.
So I gather JCScullin's(or Milaq's) 4.4.x releases are the only ones that have a fully functioning Bluetooth with Camera. Decisions, decisions.....

You'd be right in saying that. I would say that if you can hold on a little, Flintman has been working really hard on the Marshmallow version of Evervolv w/ working bluetooth, but no camera. The bluetooth stack he's trying to work in will be, in my opinion, even better than the existing HP one.
I'm not sure if he'll be able to get the camera working though, so you may have to stay with lollipop if you really need or want it.

Did some reading. I think I'll go with Evervolv v5.1. You mentioned in an earlier post you had issues with video working on this rom. Has the video been fixed? Would love to do video chats in Hangouts.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get video to work and I think that was in part due to a lack of hardware libraries that are compatible with lollipop and newer. While the convenience of that camera is pretty neat, most feel it's not justified to get it working versus something like Bluetooth. It's really hard from a dev perspective to get that camera working. So kudos to Flintman for even getting it to do still pics.
hello,
i bought a mi5 with 32gb for my mum. at the moment she has a Motorola phone with quite to vanilla android.
i dont want to change the OS to miui for her. so i intended to flash mokee 71 (cm 14.1 based). but a read a lot about bad camera with cm roms and i am not sure if its a daily driver.
what rom would you recommend?
They are all the same... Maybe you should go for marshmallow roms... They are really more stable than n...
i bought the phone because i thought all sources are released and officiall CM would work great in any way. now i have read about problems everywhere. i am very unhappy with the device...
If you want nougat, i'd suggest AICP/RR. I've personally had issues with RR and Doze, for some reason the phone is active all the time and bleeds battery. I've seen it go down by 10% in 15 minutes. Although i think this problem is related to me only.
AICP is nice. And Only flash pico gapps. The others hog a lot of resources.
As for marshmallow, CM 13 is good, RR is also good albeit a few bugs, and hasn't been updated since 21st November.
as RR is based on CM i thought there will be more bugs than in pure CM?

try this "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini", it is working fine with my mi5.
There is a Snapshot of CM 13 https://download.cyanogenmod.org?device=gemini
i have tried mokee, which id basically a cm14 rom, and its running nice, except the picture quality of the camera.
I have been using XOSP ROM, somehow the screen on time is like 6-8hrs. It is crazy. It seems faster and smoother compared to Miui8 as well
At the moment:
AOSP based:
CHYPER OS --> good battery and youseful features
SLIM --> rock solid, almost plane
JDC AOSP ---> little feature, good battery and camera, good stability
CM based ( i m not a fan of cm roms but this one it's really good)
XENON HD: battery smooth, fast, cm features plus some more, really good battery and no drain.
i m using cache and data formatted to f2fs, for all roms.
CM 14.1 is great except camera quality. I would use that rom for daily use but now I switched to miui eu rom just because i will take full advantage of camera.
If they ever get camera quality even near to miui, I will switch back to CM.
Xosp Record battery life, no lags. Just check it

after a lot of reading i think all non-miui roms have the same bad camera quality as xiaomi has not released drivers/sources for the camera.
this is the first and last xiaomi device i have bought!

The camera quality is quite on par with the Miui ROM on the unofficial Lineage 14.1 builds. It takes time for DEVs to fix bugs in custom ROMs before they can get it to become stable and then, can they actually improve things like camera quality. If you are not willing to wait, then you should always research on the phone and making sure the custom development on that phone is up to what you expect before buying it. The Mi 5 is a superb phone for its price, but trade offs have to be made too. Be glad that there are people who are actually working on making this phone even better. If you can't even appreciate and spare a thought about these Devs when you make such uncanny posts, then I doubt this community will be happy to have people like you over here either! They don't owe you anything for your "mistake" purchase.

thats not what i said. i appreciate the great work the devs do and did. the only thing i dont like is xiaomi's way of acting. xiaomi is always promising to release sources and so on but they dont do it in a proper way.
but i'm happy to hear the devs are on the best way to solve the camera problem.
I'm using the last official CM nightly and find it superb.
Stock camera is only average, but with Footej Camera from the Play store I'm happy with the results.
Just make sure not to install a full Google apps package since some of their apps don't play well with the CM ones. I use the nano package.

So speak out and call out bull**** like this. People who use their ROMs should be appreciative. I'm glad OP isn't one of those insensitive people!
I think the ROMs right now as we speak have suffered major updates, and all of a sudden I have doubts about choosing one instead of another, because if you guys check out the Development section, there's a lot of ROMs in there. We don't have any comparison or debate thread about one guy or so doing a review or brief about each and every ROM. So all threads and posts like this one (about daily usage and so) will only have a statement about current status of the ROMs. The devs aren't magicians, and there will always work to do. Bugs to fix, and features to be implemented. Just be patient.
Right now I'm in doubt of which ROM should I choose, and I hope you guys could tell the difference between each ROM (there's almost 10 different in xda). These are the ROMs available and I really want to know which ROM should I choose. I've currently Lineage OS 14.1 installed.
- AOKP
- Dirty Unicorns
- Resurrection Remix
- Nitrogen OS
- Zephyr OS
- XOSP
- Mokee
- Cypher OS
- The Android Open Source Project (JDCTeam)

My 3T has arrived, and I want to migrate from my 5X. I have a couple of questions:
Which ROM?
I know this has been discussed ad-infinitum, but I can't see the forest for the trees. I see lots of discussion about Oxygen vs CM / Lineage / Paranoid Android / AOSPE. I can say that even though I'm a "power user" in that I use my phone a lot, I am happy to stay close to the vanilla Android experience with minimal bloatware / "custom" experiences. I will need root for Titanium Backup, Greenify(*), Xposed, and perhaps a couple of other apps. In the olden days, I used CM on my HTC Desire and Moto G, but my Nexus has been just great with the factory ROM. I'm looking for maximum stability rather than tweakability that I'll never use. And sorry for being lazy, but I don't want to try ten ROMs to see what suits me, it will just become a pain.
How to migrate my apps and data?
Just use Titanium Backup? It's worked well for me in the past between different handsets. Or is the Google Android sync working well these days, and everything will just sync when I sign in with my Google Account?
(*) Is Greenify still regarded as useful on a 3T?
OxygenOS is fine. LineageOS is very stable too.
Most apps restore data from google, but some don't.
OxygenOS: Better camera. Reliable slow motion video recording, slightly better image quality.
Currently there is a bug on the latest official version (and custom ROMs based on it) that randomly wakes the screen up during phone calls if you have the double tap to wake feature enabled. Disable it or use the latest open beta, which is number 13 at the moment.
LineageOS: You have Substratum and and a bunch of ROMs based on it with a bunch of features. I believe you know it already, so it's up to you to decide.
Use Titanium if you want the app data as well, for example facebook login, offline game saves, etc. Google backup simply installs all the apps and logs you into Google services.

I do take a lot of photos (snaps, for serious stuff I use a DSLR), so camera quality is important to me. However if we're talking about a small difference between cameras, and the Lineage camera is still fine for most use, I don't think I would use camera quality as a single reason to prefer one ROM to another. Anything else good / better about OxygenOS, or is it mostly bloatware (for someone like me who's quite vanilla ).
It will be weird but good going back to Lineage, as a CM user from many years ago. What about AOSP(E)? Does it feature in the equation?
On one hand, I love the developer-friendliness of OnePlus, on the other hand, there's so much contradictory information out there, it's hard to know what's real. Some people say the cameras are night and day, some say they're similar. Some say battery life is night and day, some say similar. I just edited my original post because I read that Paranoid Android might be a contender... You get my point...
From what you say, I'll definitely use Titanium. I've been with it for years, so I know where I am. In fact, maybe I should stop Google installing the apps so I can do it with Titanium?
I went from the Nexus 5x to the OnePlus 3T myself, and I'm currently running Paranoid Android. It's close to stock, has great battery life (usually I have 73% battery after 6 hours of frequent usage, but I don't have a Sim Card at the moment so I don't know the drainage with data enabled) and great performance. Bluetooth devices have a battery level in the status bar which I find incredibly useful, and theming is nice and easy. Only problem is updates, so I recommend switching to an Oreo based ROM when they are developed and switch back to PA when it gets Oreo.
i have been use all rom and the best still oxygen os very stable and minimum bloatware best rom so far but now i tried AOSPA and great but i think the oxygen is best
If you are lazy, Use FreedomOS : it's stock beta rom with nice addons: bloatremover,magisk,... and it's stock, mean you are no need to think about other problems like bugs~ they will be fixed by oneplus.
If you still want something like you old nexus i think you should take a look at Viper: not update so weekly, but it mean less bugs, brilliant features, nice stock apps, and even 2 theme engines: one similar to OOS and one is famous Substratum

That's exactly the kind of disruption I want to avoid. But PA is currently pretty up to date, so hopefully they can keep it that way. I could wait a few weeks for Oreo whilst bugs are ironed out.

At first, I thought, I am lazy, great idea with FreedomOS. But for updates, it means waiting 1) for OnePlus to release then 2) for the FreedomOS code to be updated. They're still on 7.1.1, PA is up to 7.2.3. Also I'd be worried about the long-term, it seems PA have disappeared in the past, but at least they are a big team, FreedomOS looks like a one-man show.

PA 7.2.3 is android 7.1.2 like other custom roms based on aosp/linage , 2.3 is just their name they call that rom,
And about long term support, here in XDA, we all knows every devs have their life, they could drop their project for works family...
we can't blame them:fingers-crossed:, since we pay nothing but "likes" for their works, PA may discounted, FreedomOS too.But there will many good devs here, in XDA create new good rom for us,
Did you have an nexus5 before?i run it great for years with slimkat, DU... then google dropped support for it and slim disappear, but even now, nexus 5 still can run good with android 7.1.2 Darkrom. and even Gcam with HDR+ from pixel, So dont worry about support. we're in XDA, with little search, try few roms for days, then choose your favorite :good: I'm currently running Viper with google cam, but maybe i will add lastest freedomos as secondary in multirom.
Enjoy your phone,
Oh wow, how silly do I look with the version numbers... Thanks for the clarification!
I wouldn't blame any open source development for not having time, but equally I'd rather use a ROM that gets updated in a reasonable (not quick) time. I just don't have time to spend hours researching every few months.
I have a Nexus 5X, running 7.1.2 from Google, with minimal tweaks. SuperSU, Titanium, Greenify (is that still a thing that people use), AdAway. I've been really happy with that setup.
So it's a funny decision:
PA based on AOSP with many useful things added.
FreedomOS based on Oxygen with non-useful things removed, and a few useful things added?
Did I sum it up reasonably?
Also, are these statements relevant / true?
PA is CAF-based and FreedomOS isn't? If so, should I care?
FreedomOS has Viper4Android and ARISE, which as a music fan I should care about? Or is it just fake audio processing, which actually makes the audio less natural? I'd never heard of either until I started reading about 3T ROMs.
Hi,
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. If not, please let me know.
I just bought a Mi Mix last week and am wondering which ROM is best for me. I had been using a Nexus 6 with Pure Nexus which works very well for my needs. Given that, and the following requirements, which ROM would be best for the Mi Mix?
1. Double tap to wake.
2. Not MIUI (I really don't like it).
3. Stable (I'd like to load once and not have to flash new ROMs very often).
4. Nougat 7.1.2
5. Lots of customization options.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, welcome to the yard.
Simply all your criterions are telling like you'll get what you want by Resurrection Remix rom. Second shot perhaps should be the AOSiP rom.
Sent from my lithium using XDA Labs
Right now I think AOSiP is the most rounded of them all right now. Just my opinion though.
AICP. It works best for me, has all the customizations you need but isn't as overloaded as RR.
You dont want miui, but sadly epicrom is the fastest in my experience. I tried rr it is recommended.
I loaded Resurrection Remix last night and it was working well until I tried to run the SquareHome launcher. It kept crashing so I then tried Lineage but it went into a reboot loop shortly after the initial start around where you enter the wireless information. So then I flashed AOSiP and it also went into a reboot loop at about the same point. I wiped everything each time. So at this point I flashed RR again just to see if it would load without rebooting and it worked fine. Fortunately I was able to figure out why the SquareHome launcher wasn't working so it's all good now too. Everything with RR seems to be working fine so far but I haven't used it very much yet.
However, I'm curious why the others caused the reboot loop problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Update: I have the YouTube slowness and audio problem so I'm guessing my firmware needs to be updated. Could that have caused the reboot issue with AOSiP and Lineage also?

Not sure, but the video slowness and audio problem is caused by the dated firmware, try flashing the 7.7.20 firmware found in the RR thread.
I will also recommend you to try ViperOS , it doesnt have much support but the rom is smooth with great battery life (compared to other AOSP/Lineage based roms in my experience) and the performance is very good with no need of a custom kernel.

Thanks. I've downloaded ViperOS and may give it a try. Updating firmware did fix the video slowness and audio problems.

I have tried every rom for the Mi Mix and the ViperOs is the perfect fit. It's probably the closet to Pure Nexus. I get 8 hours screen time easily, very smooth and very customizable, I love it

I've been having a couple weird things with RR (intermittent proximity sensor and a couple random reboots) so I flashed ViperOs. It seems pretty awesome so far. Thanks!
ViperOs is awesome. Unfortunately I've decided to sell the Mi Mix. I've tried but I just can't get past the audio quality from the 'earpiece' during calls.
Anyone interested in a good deal on a basically brand new Mi Mix 6/256? U.S. only please. Thanks.

Sadly, yes. As I mentioned, I just can't get past the earpiece limitations. My hearing isn't the best and I'm having problems with hearing and understanding callers compared to other phones I have. I really love the phone (that screen! and that battery life!) but I need to use it as a phone which just isn't working for me.

Fair enough to leave. I even have had an another(basic) phone to make calls from it.

Damn, is the sound that bad during calls? I'm in the process of setting mine up. Waiting the 72 hours to unlock my bootloader. Which rom did you find to suit your needs the best? An how much you asking for your mix?

It may not be that bad for everyone. My hearing isn't the greatest so I'm sure that factors in. The best ROM I used in the short time I was using it is ViperOS. I've got it on Swappa right now for $415 but that's a little flexible.
Thanks.

Oh ok gotcha, do you remember which twrp you used with viper rom? I might be interested in your mix, my girl seem mine an how good the camera is so of course if I get mine set up an everything working good an have a good signal in the US northeast, she wants one lol I'll pm you on it at that time, if it isn't sold we'll figure something out.
+1 for RR.
I was exactly just like you, came from N6 and I am happy with this ROM.
Hey,
I'm thinking about buying Pixel 5 and ungoogle it to certain level (I will most likely use microg). Does a modded GCam works as well as a stock Gcam? I know most of the pixel's camera quality comes from software, hence my question.
yeah, it does work reliably! I'm running PX Mod v8.1 on LineageOS 18.1 without any gapps except Gcam Services Provider.

Alright, thanks! I'm assuming the quality is same, right?
By the way, out of curiosity, how much does you battery endure without gapps?
I can't compare the camera quality because I never used the stock version. I installed LOS right after getting my Pixel 5. the battery lasts about 12-18 hours, but i can't compare to stock here either though.

Do you know if it is possible to install the stock camera on lineage with microg or with the gcam services provider? I pretty much love the results of the stock cam.
Sorry about these newbie questions, by the way.
I tried a couple of times but it doesn't work for me. which is odd because the general consensus on the internet seems to be that it should. I never tried to install it using any gapps though, maybe that's why.
also your questions are perfectly fine, don't worry! not knowing stuff shouldn't be a reason for derision.
Yeah, I want to try and stay clear of Google with this phone (quite ironically, though), but not having the camera at its best is a dealbreaker for me.
I had the exact same thoughts! the irony of de-googling a Google device is very funny, although it's kind of...normal? I mean, both CalyxOS and GrapheneOS favour the Pixel phones. also it's like, a middle finger in Googles face lol
another thing I should probably mention about camera apps: I can't seem to access the ultra wide angle lens in third party apps and manual focus doesn't seem to work either in those. that might just be my device/setup though.
For me is that it is the perfect phone to buy today.. I currently have an S7, which I love, but it's getting old (not charging sometimes, camera getting blurry, sad, really). So I've looking for a phone with the same specs - good camera, battery and at the same size (I hate current phone sizes).
I've reading on the lineage thread about people using gcam but with google service.. which i really want to avoid. I want to use, at max, microg. Thanks for the feedback, man.
you're welcome, hope you find what you're looking for!
My pixel will arrive the next day, can you directly suggest a gcam for LOS, with link please.
Thanks.
Sure!
Hi. Can you, please, help with the correct GCam app link for Pixel 3a XL running Lineage OS 18.1 (Android 11)? I became confused while trying to find something suitable.
Thanks in advance!
