[Q] Are Lollipop ROMs ready for primetime?

Hey all,
Last flashed on FireKat months ago and have been wanting to try out Lollipop but wasn't sure if it was ready yet. When I first used FireNote, mega was remarking that it would be a few months before KK was stable enough for everyday use.
Have you guys had good luck with custom Lollipop ROMs? Which ones are the "best" ones you'd recommend?

Sorta/not really. It's like smooth sailing except when you hit the new barrier reef. But it's pretty!
Latest problem is Viper4android can't possibly work until someone figures out how to enable SELinux Permissive mode. Then like something makes a noise or vibrates in a way you might have tamed with Xposed before. But there's no Xposed either. How do you fix it? You don't. I might just go back. Sucks either way for now.

Galaxy Note 3 - AT&T (sm-n900a)

How's battery life? Right now on firekat I'm losing 35% per hour during use and 3-5% per hour when the screen is off. Can't be worse than this.
Lack of viper and xposed aren't really deal breakers for me. Inconvenient, yes, but still usable.
Root WiFi hotspot still works I assume?

Running FK with them specs you didn't have something setup right. I'm lucky to use 35% in a days time just saying.

Yeah i figured that battery life was abnormal. Not sure how to troubleshoot it, though. When I go to look at battery stats (using GSam) to troubleshoot, it just shows that most of the battery is consumed by "Android System," followed closely by "Kernel (Android OS)." Battery life was pretty good when I first installed FK, but has gone down considerably since first install.
Any idea on how to further troubleshoot?

Not knowing how you flashed it. always odin back to nc2 then install ss and tr, Flash the rom. Never use battery saver. When using greenify make sure its uncheck in exposed. Don't forget to make a fresh backup of nc2 before flashing fk. But the new build v19n3 and v19n4 is running awesome. Great battery life. One thing I do is in tb is to change Google play services from system app to user app. Hope this helps. If you try this rom again and have problems jump over to the fk thread since this thread is Q&A on LP.

Yeah I installed FK according to all the instructions and it was fine at first. Battery life degraded over time, though. To give you an idea how long ago I installed FK, I have version 4 installed.
What I'm wondering is if i should install the newest FK or jump over to lollipop. Anyone have any experience with both? Curious to see all the new lollipop features and battery life can hardly get WORSE compared to what I have now.

Well I tried LP on a older Nexus 4 that I just tinker with I didn't like it. I put slimkat back on it. But the new fk builds is great. I'm not switching to LP unless Mega does a LP build for us. Like I said if you try the new builds just jump over on the threads if you have problems.

It looks like allianceROM is one of the more popular Lollipop ROMs. Anyone have any opinions on it vs firekat?

I think lollipop roms are awesome, very smooth. I did have better battery life with 4.3 then anyother

Benefits of Custom ROM on the Nexus 6

Im having mixed thoughts about installing a ROM on the Nexus 6. Previously Ive installed ROM on other devices to remove bloatware/speed up/improve battery life of the phone. I wanted to if installing a ROM on the nexus 6 will provide these benefits as the stock firmware seems pretty solid.

You don't need a custom ROM to remove bloat. Just root it and you can debloat it as much as you want. Battery life is definitely wayyyy more dependent on the kernel and kernel settings you are using, not the ROM.
The benefit of custom ROMs is more customization. Stock ROM only support layers, some ROMs support the CyanogenMod Theme Engine or some do Layers. Do whatever you want to do. It's a Nexus so you have the flexibility. Even if you stay on stock you can use the Xposed Framework and gravitybox along with other modules and have a similar level of customization. I personally use Dirty Unicorns as my daily driver on all devices I have that they've released builds for. It's my personal preference.

first off, custom roms DO NOT EVER INCREASE SPEED, kernels can if you learn how to set up your own cpu. bloatware is done very simply, as you dont need a custom rom. all you do is get a root file explorer then delete whatever apks you dont want. and number 3.. battery life is NEVER improved using any kind of roms. battery life can be improved by being picky about which apps you install, how you set up your device, and by having good signal quality.

I meant the kernel/ROM combo, to clarify. Im well aware that ROMs dont directly affect battery but there are some very unoptimized ones that are detrimental (dont know about nexus 6). Also, what i meant was that roms like cyanogen mod run way way smoother for me than samsungs touchwiz

The ROM doesn't influence the speed of the device. It's the kernel and how it ramps up and down frequencies, onlines/offlines cores, etc...
You are comparing apples to oranges. Touchwiz is different than CyanogenMod. On the Nexus 6 basically you have ROMs based on AOSP and ROMs based on CM13. Neither make a difference in terms of speed, just a little of the feature set. Now different ROMs come bundled with different kernels and that is where you see the performance difference.

blacks, yea. but that has nothing to do with custom roms, at all. as layers also works on stock. but using blacks in forground and background will save a little battery.. 10% i dont know, but some itll save.

And encryption? I didn't mention I have a unencrypted data partition.
I think less CPU use. Also good for the battery.
Blacked out N6 and unencrypted and debloated.
That's why I think I have about + 10% 'bb' live.
I hope you won't tell me all this work is marginal ?

Off course custom roms are improving speed. You just have to build them with the right toolchain and the right flags. And you can also debloat a rom by delete unnecessary commits. If what you say were true every rom out there would be the same speed if you use the same kernel. A good kernel is improving speed, but a good rom can do the same.

I would never say one is faster just for saying it. I am flashing roms since hd2 and I ll normally flash all roms out there to test.
But I only can tell it is faster for me. My device with my installed apos and my hardware release. Roms and kernels are so different on the same device with different hardware dates.

roms and kernels can be very different on the same device with the same built date as well. for example, the n6 has 16 different cpu varients, 16! mines a bin 5 btw. also, i run mine at 3033mhz/35mhz(high/low), stabley with decent battery, on a daily level. when many n6 cant overclock that high at all, or even stabley.

Happy Holidays All - OnePlus 3T

As of about 2 days ago, I have noticed a rapid drain of the battery. From 100-0 in about 8 hours.
And just now, recharged around 1:30 p.m., and as of about 4:00 p.m. it went from 97% to 55%, with "3 more hours of battery left" (I use the Dash Charger Only fwiw)
I have hardly been using it...at all. I leave the display on 50% normally, but again, not using it. And since noticing this, I even took the dispay to 25%.
I went to the settings/battery to find that right above Android is Dictionary, which I don't use. I force closed it
Dictionary 8%
Android System 6%
Android OS 5%
Facebook 5%
TypeApp Mail 4%
T-Mobile Name ID 4%
Google App 4%
Google Play Services 2%
I would welcome any help.

Try a factory reset?
I'm on the leaked nougat and this phone is blowing my mind. Just as good as the iPhone 7+ in regards to battery life and butteryness. Longest battery life I've ever used on an Android and the smoothest experience.
I'm so glad I didn't get the pixel, so glad..

Factory reset your phone and don't install any other apps for a while. See if the battery drain continues. If so, return your phone via manufacture's warranty, since you probably have a defective battery

Trying to avoid a Reset.
I restarted in safe mode, and it is much better now, only indicating is is one of my apps etc
I also have the Pixel XL which does blow this away even when this phone was at its peak. But, I guess we all use different apps
What do you have to do to get Android Nougat you said you have.
Thanks so much

Hey bro! Right now on oos 3.5.4, did face issues but I've flashed blu_spark kernel and phone's working like a charm again. You are using stock kernel right? do you have any experience with blu_spark so you can compare performance to your actual rom?

I am on stock correct. Otherwise don't root etc. Haven't for a few years with C and beat it. Cant keep all that knowledge together
So I guess I answered your question, but otherwise I am lost. Thanks for sticking with me everyone

Yup, stock everything from the leak. I haven't tried blu_spark since I'm not sure there are any kernels compatible with the leaked build

I was referring to (oos 3.5.3/3.5.4 + blu_spark) vs OOS 4.0 but thx anyway! I'll keep on MM & custom kernel untill final 4.0 is released.

Nougat is the solution
Im running the new nougat leaked and is been phenomenal here is a screenshot

Horrible software?

I read that a lot of problems in OOS system.
battery draining.
sometimes device didnt boot up after ota update or stuck on TWRP recovery.
OP releases many updates and I need to wipe this phone after new version was released? why?
I'm debating whether to buy the device.

I have none of these issues

No issues here.

I would say that these are mainly user errors..., They can not read correctly (or make a little research) before doing something to their phone.
Battery drain can be caused by a lot of things (user settings, faulty apps, signal and so on).
No issue here about battery life nor updates.

Hi,
Flashed 3 or 4 times my 1+3 before offering it to my son when I received my 1+3T, also immediately unlocked and flashed from 3.5.3 to 3.5.4 and now on RR 7.1.1 by nicesoni_ash and never had one issue during processing.
I agree with @Manson79, mostly user errors. Reading some topics and not only one may save from a lot of fear and time...

I've had 0 issues even on a custom ROM and a really good SoT too.
I think a lot of fears come from other people who do very silly things to their phones and do not understand what they are doing.
Buy one, its a pretty good phone.

Yeah, i'm running android N and oos 4 stable. After the ota update, the phone was lagging,but then ive made a factory reset and now everything runs incredibly smooth. Im very pleased with it

please more comments..
many problems in OP3T !!!
even GPS problems..

No issues like this at all. Maybe Oxygen is not the most picture perfect and polished OS but definitely none of there happen

How the OP3T is the fastest phone in the world if the oxygen is didnt stable system?

I don't understand you.
The OP3T never tried to claim a title of 'fastest phone in the world'. It has great hardware yes. Oxygen OS is a great software.
It seems you're intent on bashing the OP3T, so you're better advised buying a more expensive phone.

Not sure if OP is trolling... anyway, most problems are user errors. Most don't even clear the cache after doing a major OS update like from MM to N, or install random apps that they have no clue what they do in the background, and then go complain.
I am using latest OOS and have zero issues. Battery life and speed are amazing.

On the initial Nougat update I had horrible battery. With the newest update, getting amazing battery. Everything seems to be running great.

Not quite this good. It was this newest update that seemed to fix it. Happy with the entire phone now.

I do have one problem with battery life as in attachment. But I still find it a decent phone with at least 4hrs of SOT. I'll still struggling finding what causes the issue but no success so far. I strongly recommend the phone, since battery is the Google issue.

I got no issue since I got my OP3T, mine is chinese version A3010 run 3.5.4 and now 4.0.1. I mostly got 6 to nearly 7 hours of SOT. I play game about 15mn to 30mn each charge and watch youtube all day long. I rocks two sim cards and mostly use wifi. If I use 4g, battery drop very fast.

This is on Official RR 7.1.1 not bad for being on cellular network about 80% of the time.

Nexus 6 in 2019

Hey, i recently bought a second hand Nexus 6 because i wanted a daily driver with custom rom and magisk, thing which is virtually imposible in my main phone (S10) so i thought the nexus will do great, the phone isnt running so bad but i think it could be better so i installed Carbon ROM and runs nice but it has some weird lags on the UI and some apps, i know this is an old device but i think it can run better, what ROM or thing can i do to get it at his best right now? Im planning to buy a new battery since i dont know how old it is (if anyone can tell me how many hours should last or SOT it could get the battery in great condition will be appreciated)
I'm planning to install the last system image from google (i dont remember the version it had when i changed the ROM) and then install LineageOS 16, that will do?
Thanks in advance for the help, i really llke this phone.

I have recently replaced my battery and a full charge lasts me a day with multiple hours sot. Sadly I don't have an exact number sot for you.
Currently I'm using Colt OS but I think you'd be fine using any any of the big roms. Some need a few reboots to stop the lag (or so I've read, I haven't had to do that yet). So just try some out until you find what works for you!

To reduce lags,
- You can reduce the resolution to 720p if you haven't already tried it (Display will appear blurry, but it will make the UI smoother)
- Try some Kernels/Kernel Manager and experiment with the provided options (May reduce the Battery backup)

How do i reduce the resolution? How it runs on 1080p?
Well i wanted to try a custom kernel but all of them are quite old, which kernel do you use?

SOT: I would say between 2 and 6 hours, depending on how you use the phone - around 4 hours typically.
Lags: it's common to have extra lag the first few days after installing a rom, until background optimizations are finished.
Otherwise, the worst lags occur if the phone has to reload the launcher or app, because of shortage of ram. Then you get delays of a few seconds.
Ram handling can be modified slightly by tweaking system parameters, but it cannot change that 3 GB just isn't a lot today.
---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------
As to whether you should replace the battery:
If you start getting sudden power offs when at, say, 30% charge, then you need to replace. That is what usually happens with a weak battery on this phone.

I'm keeping my devices updated as possible, and those security patches can be irrelevant for most people, but it's your choice and i'm personally using many financial instruments on mobile, banking apps, even some cryptocurrency wallets, so i'm feeling a little bit more comfortable with latest security patches, and of course "unlimited thanks" to people who keep this device alive :highfive:
