I am looking for a non-stock rom that has pretty much everything working. I have tried many, and the one that worked the best was CM 13.0 by HDHR. It was very smooth and I liked it's features like hold volume buttons to skip music and the ability to use themes, but I've had issues with the gallery. Some thumbnails for photos or videos would not show up and after trying to inspect them, everything in the gallery would just turn black and I had to restart the app. Someone recommended using a media scanner app but that didn't do a thing . I had the same issue on PAC rom by aswinp222 and lineage os 13 by HDHR. I have also tried lineage os 14 by Rohan Taneja, but it had many bugs including not being able to move apps to internal memory. I am currently on the stock rom, because every rom I tried so far had a bug that made me change it to another.
tl;dr
I need a recommendation on a good rom that has almost no bugs and is not the stock one.
I have tried CM 13.0, PAC rom, androium 7, lineage 13 and 14, but none are bug free.

So after almost month using CM9 and before that CM10.1 by Bleached before 3 days I got back on KitKat ROM's.
And now here is problem which I discovered still in February with CM11 by The Whisp and now on OmniROM.
Problem is that I can run Instagram, BUT - when I try to post image app stops working and nothing helps and only battery pull out works. On any other ROM (like CM10.1 BLeached, CM9 any build, older CM10.x builds) it works great, but on any KitKat ROM it crashes (Ican't get any logcat coz phone totaly breaks).
Any help should be great
EDIT: All problems are gone away now... Instagram account is deleted and now I'm gonna use Pinterest with Pixlrmatic for picture editing. Either way if somebody knows how to fix this or maybe get any kind of logcat to make this app working on KitKat based ROMs with 3.4 kernel
Just a update: with CM11 build 08032014 and everything newer Instagram works again. Hopefully that was some Instagram issues, not ROM based as far I hope so.

There is an important bug that has been preventing me from using unofficial p880 source-based ROMs since they were out.Since camera is pretty much fixed and unofficial ROMs are smoother overall, I don't feel like switching over to official cm11, so here is the bug.
When you run some applications, real racing 3 to name one, the app crashes with kernel logs printing :
tegradc tegradc.0: Size of window 2 is invalid.
tegradc tegradc.0: Window attributes are invalid.

This bug happens with many more applications that I don't have anymore nor remember their names.But this bug has existed since the very first unofficial kitkat based ROM.I can remember I had about 5 - 10 more apps crashing this way, printing same message in kernel log on the first unofficial kitkat ROM I've tried.
It works really well in official cm11.No crashes or anything.But when I try to launch it on any unofficial based ROM, it just crashes.When I first installed the very first kitkat ROM for our device, I had about 5 - 10 apps like this crashing.And not all of them were 3D applications.
However I didn't bother reporting that bug before, as unofficial ROMs were fresh and had more important stuff to fix.
Note : It's not a bug within the kernel as I've used custom kernels in official and unofficial both, the bug only occured in unofficial based ROMs.It also happens with stock kernels unofficial ROMs come with.
Every unofficial based ROMs have this bug.
I will post more logs once I create a backup.Have logs turned off as I don't need them usually.
EDIT : I'm unable to activate system logs for some reason.But I've found some logs laying around regarding exact same issue.

Thanks to remembering about this. Piano tiles also doesn't work
OP updated with logs.
PVZ crash logs give '410 Gone' error so can't be accessed.
The bug is very likely grouper blobs related, another incompatibility.
Hey guys, since I've installed CM14.1 I'm been facing a lot of issues and bugs with the gallery app, the camera app & many times I get a notification that "CM bug report not working" and my phone becomes unresponsive. Which ROM would you guys suggest would be the best alternative to CM14.1? Or should I roll back to stock AOSP 6.0 Marshmallow?
EDIT: I'm really confused which ROM should I switch to I really wanna try MIUI 8 for TITAN and also lineage OS. I want no bugs that would be good because I really don't get the time to reflash other ROM's and keep testing others. So please suggest the one which has almost NO BUGS.
Try this stable af, just a couple of minor bugs here & there but the rom overall is fluid & battery efficient as heck.

You might be running an really old build, since those issues were long solved. CM is dead now, but there's LineageOS, its sucessor. If you want, download it here.
I've tried 3 different ROMs in my new X526.
Lineage 15.1, Pixel ROM and now I'm running Arrow ROM.
The error shows up some seconds after running google photos which is trying to synchronise my collection
"Unfortunately Camera Has Stopped Working".
Is there a workaround in order to fix it?
I'm a little bit frustrated.
Thanks in advance.
Camera is an issue with new ROMs since the kernel sources are of marshmallow, but you can look around the particular section to minimize this issue

I am not really a huge fan of getting the bleeding edge ROM for my device.
I just want to work everything as it should be without annoying problems.
Maybe I should go back to an older android build.
Suggestions? Maybe Havoc?
Miui 10 and lineage nougat are pretty much okay for daily use. You could go for RR too
Hi, I have decided to install a custom rom for my Note 5 (N920C).
I have tried Bliss and LineageOS but they both have camera bugs. Sometimes I cannot record videos even in low resolutions. Sometimes my camera freezes permanently while in video call and it does not fix until system reboot.
Are there any roms that can bu used without ANY problem in daily life for this device?
Or else, I'm gonna have to switch to stock rom.
So far and similar u I tried Bliss & LIOs roms
Reverted back to stock and everything worked BUT the alternate i am using currently is the Floyd ROM since last 4 months and so far everything i tried with it has worked
Give it a shot and see if it works for U
