No, I am not asking for the best rom. I am going to give this phone to a family relative of mine as I have the z ultra.
I would like to strap a error/bug free rom, should I go straight to stock rom? The most irritating issue I have had with CM based roms is that the phone suddenly did not recognize the SIM and the user had to unlock the sim. A huge issue for me and a big no no.
Any alternatives to stock rom?
As far as I remember stock rom ,rooted ,is the best experience for this phone.
CM 10.1.3 Stable 4.2.2 release.
i'd recommend stock rom, or stock-based debloated rom like zaiben. good luck :good:
I have finished rooting my phone (XT1097) and now I'm looking at changing ROMs but before I do, I want to know what benefits there are of CM 12.1 (or another ROM) over the stock retail (Wind Mobile) ROM. There isn't much bloat on my phone and what's there is providing benefits (okay, maybe not spotlight). What would you say is the biggest benefit of removing the stock rom (now that it's rooted) and replacing it with [ROM OF YOUR CHOICE]? This assumes I get the stock 5.1 ROM soon.
More features,nice little additions. Some cases there may be better performance and battery life. I suggest you try everything and see what works for you best
I rooted my unlocked the bootloader/rooted my phone back in April but I'm looking to try a ROM for the first time. I've been looking around but I wanted to see what people here are using.
Basically what I'm hoping for in the rom
Moto display (if possible)
xposed compatible
no major bugs
better battery life/stable
Stock KitKat it is.
I am currently using the Cyanogenmod 12.1 and it's running fine with no major bugs. It has moto display, I have successfully installed xposed but I have no use for it, also the battery life running the latest nightly is quite poor imo. Would recommend using it though.
here's the link to that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-moto-x-t2995381
Hi,
I've been on 6.0.1 with kernel 3.10.84-OM5Z (rooted) for about a year now, but would like to update to the current best rom for fully functioning camera (with DRM patch), battery life and heat.
Have been watching and waiting regarding Nougat. What's the opinion? Which is the best stock-based rom/patched kernel combo to go for at the moment?
BR.
Hello,
I have 2 HTC M7 with slim rom 7.1.2. build.2.0 and GAPPS pico. One of them is S-OFF with GPE firmware (6.04.1700.19). Clean install via TWRP, no further apps installed, so far. Both phones lose about 1.5%/h battery in stand-by - thus more than twofold compared to stock firmware+rom, before.
Can anyone tell me, what are the reasons for this higher battery consumption? Forums on custom roms mostly give information that battery consumption will be improved with custom rom.
I think of installing a custom kernel to improve battery life. Where can I find a compatible kernel to my custom rom and different firmwares? Or would it be sufficient to install a kernel tweaking tool (eg. kernel toolkit) to adjust settings for the current kernel? In Slim Rom, kernel information is 3.4.113-g9776217([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9 20150123) prerelease).
Thank you very much.
There is only one custom kernel for N Roms and this one doesnt have any improvment for battery or kernel tweaks, there is no way to extend the battery life except for dont use gapps. You will get the best battery life with gpe rom and elementalx kernel, but this is android 5.1, but this is the only way to underclock the cpu/gpu with all adroid versions higher like 6.x undervolting allways caused system instability. If you want to have a bettter battery life with android 6.x or higher the only way is to use nanomod microg (or the new name of this magisk module "nanodroid") instead of gapps. It will replace everything what google services do for you with opensource programms, you will be able to use your google account as usuall and being able to use the play store but without the high battery drain gapps are causing. If you want to know more about this you can read everything here https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/tips-standby-time-t3661814
Thank you, I will try it. As I have seen this should still allow for using paid apps from play store if needed.
Though I don't understand why battery consumption with custom rom nougat is that higher than with stock rom lollipop. I also tried clean installing custom rom without any GAPPS, but battery drain in standby and with flight mode was still considerably higher (0.9%/h) than in stock rom incl. Google services and no flight mode (0.5%/h)?
Hm, now I have
- 1 M7 S-off, GPE firmware, Slim rom 7.1.2 build 2.0 + microG
- 1 M7 S-on, HTC firmware, Slim rom 7.1.2 build 2.0 + Gapps pico,
- 1 M7 S-on, HTC firmware, HTC stock rom.
So far, no further apps running, GPS, NFC and bluetooth deactivated. Hourly battery drain in stand-by is almost identical on phones with slim rom (1.5% per hour) - and more than twofold compared to stock rom (0.6% per hour). Since I have tried several custom roms before, I noticed that other Android M+N roms (lineage, AICP, xenon, tesla) all have battery drain comparable to slim rom.
Seems to me that there is no way to get low standby battery consumption with a custom rom Android M/N. Within a 16 hour day I loose about 15 percent battery more than with stock rom Android L only due to standby. Am I the only one with this issue (or the only one interested in this)?

If you have identical battery drain on both devices with slim rom (one with gapps one with microG) there is definitivly something wrong on your side. Every user i have ever read from using microG said the same about better battery (about 10% more at the end of a day compared to same rom with gapps). And for me it was the same, with aicp and gapps i had only 15% at the end of a day, with aicp and microG i had about 25% left.
