I want to know your opinion, which one is a better(generally) option for a daily driver ROM on our phones based on today's options?
1- Stock/Stock based ROMs
2- Aftermarket ROMs (Like CM,Carbon ...)
It depends...CM Based are for Android Purists who don't like other designs but prefer raw and clean android
Hoever I prefer Nice UI so I go with stock based such as Existenz and the like

The stock roms is not bad, but in my opinion i'd prefer on custom rom because it has a lot of customization, but of course use it at your own risk because ur warranty will void if use custom roms. right now im using VanirAOSP in my XSP. its CM based running on kitkat 4.44 and can be used daily, im not a pro yet and i think u must read and learn and then compare them (the stock vs Custom). good luck ^.^

How smooth it is compared to stock based ROMs?

Vanir is much smoother than stock roms.
You dont invalidate your warranty unless you unlock bootloader (and even then keep a backup and noone will ever know).
Try out the LBL ROMs such as paranoid nexus or CM11 if you dont want to unlock the bootloader. They run really smoothly and with the right setup can be just as good as stock for power consumption (obviously non stock has no stamina mode) and personally I think better for features and performance.
You can also find most Sony apps on XDA to install should you want those (I use Sony Album, movies and Smart Connect).

There is a problem with cm11 roms - sound and mics seems to be very low... So may be 4.1 or 4.3 roms.

So in terms of actual performance stock/stock based ROM's do better?
Why use CM11 roms? They are buggy and laggy. Just use CM10.2, it's a lot faster than stock roms and all the features are working except for FM radio, but you can use SpiritFM.
Try the custom roms and if you like them more than stock use one of them. Many people prefer them but i like more sony's stock rom, i don't have any performance issue on it and i love sony ui.

Well, last time i used 4.3 - it was very laggy and slow. Existenze or something like that... I really dont need "new" features - i just want fast and smooth response.

I don't mean stock 4.3. Try CyanogenMod 10.2. It is Android 4.3 as well. No slowdowns for me.
Here is a link to it.
Xperia SP = HuaShan
i used vanir in a few weeks, it run smooth, until i try playing HD games like MC4, and the screen is only black with the hud, no cutscene.
now i use beanstalk rom. it run smooth and i can play MC4 with no lag at all, so i guess vanir is not that perfect too,
i wanna try CM11 but the review tells that cm 11 is still buggy (am I right ?).
anyone in here try that out?
Ok so I'm trying to find a daily driver. I've done a lot of flashing. I have used dirty unicorns, linage, rr, aokp. I just can't figure out what I want to run so I want to see what everyone else is running. This isn't a hich room is best thread. Just tell us what your running and why that rom.

LineageOS
I think they provide better support, quick Stable update
Good luck

Oxygen Open Beta
But do those have customization like rr? I use Nova.

RR is a customized LineageOS with lots of extra options. The launcher however, you decide over no matter what ROM your running. I'm also using Nova on stock LOS.
Lineage OS from sultanxda. Stable, best battery life, best camera, no bloat, not so many unnecessary options
Looks like resurrection remix the best rom. I am using always resurrection remix on all my phones, SGS 2, LG nexus 5x, Lenovo A6000, nexus 10, SGS 7 and now one plus 3t

Ya when I was running it I had some force closes and some lag. But I'm not looking for the "best" ROM BC that's going to differ for everyone I'm just seeing what ppl are running.
I decided to flash sultans linage. I'll give up the customization for stability.
Stock - i used to be a custom ROM guy but can barely be bothered now-a-days saying that ive never been as happy with a stock ROM as i am with OSS.

Yes, it is. Call it what you want: most popular, favorite, best ROM. It's still all just the same question. Everyone has massively different preferences and needs, and your experience will vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use your phone. Asking strangers to make a decision for your is not only useless, it is also bizarre. You clearly already have the knowledge/ability to try various ROMs (as you stated you did). So leaving the decision to something as arbitrary as a stranger's whim (or a ROM's popularity) is just strange.
I'd also caution against using a ROM, just because it's widely used and "most popular". Plenty of times in the past, the ROM that worked best for me, was one that was less popular, and more obscure. You do yourself an injustice by ignoring these "hidden gems".
For the first time after using a smartphone, i decided to settle with Stock ROM. For me, it gives the best UI and a lot of useful options. I don't even need to tell that the Stock camera is far better than any other apps used in other Custom ROMs. Battery is really amazing too considering my way to use the cellphone( Facebook app, the great battery villain is full time here in use).

Thanks everyone.
ROM Lover
I love trying out new ROM's.
Fot OP3T i have tried Oxygen official, Oxygen Beta, Lineage & Ressuruction.
To me Oxygen beta since May has become really good, improved battery a lot.
Stock is always better
What about paranoid android?
Dear Sir,
If quick update is the requirement, the Lineage is the best and I have to say unofficial sultan 14.1 is the same as he is also quick but If you are installing sultan 14.1 for only battery back up then I think you should have a look with custom kernel such as franco and elemenatlx which are great in battery back up.
But for me and also with some other friends, stock oxygen is the best as camera is the main priority for me. For other features magisk is readily available.
Thanks to all developers for the support time to time.

no restriction and it is not impossible...
we can port them too...but the main thing is no one is porting now days...everyone makes rom from source...
and thats now easy way to make roms and these manufacturer roms are not having source code ...so no one make them...
but i must say this device will also have these rom in near future ...
because many devs are trying hard ...
so we need to wait and watch

Sorry, but you'll have to test them by yourself and pick one that works for you... what suits me probably won't suit you. The features that I use the most probably are not as important to you, and probably the things that are important to you I don't use as much in order to say they are stable. The apps I use probably are not the same as you, the signal strength, the carrier, the charger, the bluetooth devices, the root method, magisk modules or even if you are not going to root.
I'm enjoying the PE+ rom, but I did many tweaks to it and it works for me, but there are many people facing really annoying bugs that makes it a no go. So there isn't an easy answer for what you are looking for.

wow what kind of useless responses are those? He didnt say what is the best one, he asked what is the most stable dudes.
Hi! I tried most of them, PE+, HavocOS, AICP, LINEAGE, in my case the most stable and daily driver is Havoc OS, there is one problem on all of them for me, my banking app wont run on modded rom's so i reverted to miui, android one.
There is trial and error, some might work from start, some are harder to make them run ok, without any crashes. The fastest one i found was Pixel Experience+, the most stable one, Lineage OS(be carefull, it doesnt support google apps from the box), and the one which does any task well, good battery and stability in my case, was Havoc OS. With pleasure, ViVa.

Lol, no.
Stock has serious bootloop issues between updates.
If you're staying on stock you should still unlock bootloader, just in case. And backup important data before updates.
This saved me 4 or 5 times already.

Which Android version? I am on 10 and never had a boot loop after update but I always do it manually using fastboot.
I've also stripped Stock down to the bare-bones - no Google anything, except Play Services, Phone and Contacts and everything seems to work OK with no crashes ever.
I concur with your bootloader unlock advice.

Root using Magisk, then use something like link2SD to get rid of the bloat. I always freeze the unwanted Apps instead of deleting them.

Hello everyone,
Do you know if for the pixel 7, currently it is possible to have the combination of a custom rom + the stock camera in some way not too complicated?
Thanks, I read you!

Installing the stock camera of Xiaomi on a Xiaomi phone with custom rom is much more complicated.
And would it be 100% compatible with the custom ROM?
Finally, what custom ROM do you recommend for the pixel 7?
Thank you !

I understand that, I'm Xiaomi user for along time
Almost Any things in stock android of pixel can be downloaded from play store
I only try crdroid with p7, great rom, alot of custom feature, great battery life. But it still has some small bug that affect daily use experience.
So I fall back to stock and wait for crdroid become official for p7 like p7 pro

My question is because I have just had 4 Xiaomis in a row.
In all of them, the first thing I did was unlock them and install the Xiaomi.eu rom.
With this rom it had much less bloatware, a little more privacy (services blocked in the background), native call recording, and some more features. All this without sacrificing camera stock.
I thought that with the Pixel you could do something similar with a rom like Lineage or another similar one.

I don't know about Pixel, but it is not that simple in general. Some apps rely on certain frameworks or modules which are present in the Stock ROM but not in custom ROMs.

does it have all the new features like cinema mode etc.?
that would be a surprise to me, if it is almost the same feature level like on stock.
