Been away awhile - IYO, What ROM is best for Manila 2D? [Plz no negative comments]

Hey guys!
I've been away awhile and I was trying to find which ROM was the most stable for Manila...but there's sooo much to read!! Wow, a lot's been going on here.
I'll be honest, I just don't have the time to weed out the best rom...
If anyone is so inclined and can be nice and has been keeping up to date on the new ROMs, can you please care to direct me to which ROM you believe is currently the best?
Thanks for your desire to help me out!!

Well, im afraid to tell you but this is all a personal preference. Different roms have different pre-packaged software. There is no such thing as the "Best" ROM . Its which one is Best for YOU.
It takes all of 15 minutes to download and install one...... just see which flavor suits ya best
On that note, I use L26M2DV4 and its pretty nice. Ive also heard HDIII M2D is good as well.

I've been flashing like crazy... from G-DK4 to everything but my best pick is HyperDragon III Jade +Manila 2D
Super Fast no bugs so far, battery is good , GPS fast
btw
AT&T in San Juan Puerto Rico

Thanks for the vote karlospr!
Much appreciated

Gotta check out PDACorners Versions as well, it rates right at the top .

Rupy's is the best IMHO
I have been burning M2D's for some time, including NATF, PDACorner, & Hyperdragon, but have found that RRE V5.9 is the best out. I realize that some will complain that it has too slow of a startup time, but how often do you really reset your phone. It is EXTREMELY stable and is suprisingly lite for what you get. You can find it below:
Rupy's Thread
unfortunately Rupy has called it quits on TILT roms as he has gotten the fuze, but give it a shot, i am very happy with it.

Newbie to Galaxy S

Hi I'm hopefully getting a Samsung Galaxy S and i just wanted to know what the best CM7 Rom is and the best Kernel to go with it. If anyone can give me a good idea I would really appreciate it. Thank you

i never answer these questions as a rule, but insanity cm with glitch kernel is a cracker apart from battery...good enough if you can charge nightly.....and camera....which is getting better...i use miui camera for the video and zomfx for stills.....this is purely my opinion though, i recommend experimenting if you are a flash addict!

I recommend stay where you ate and you won't get much trouble and search for some more stable rom's.

Recommend me a ROM

Hello XDA
I know there is no such thing as the best ROM but I was hoping to do a little cheating and save my self some reading and get some opinions on what would fit me the best.
I use my phone as a business phone and thus my battery is dying constantly. I got ALOT of SMS and my phone is constantly slowing down. I want something that won't seem like a old device.
I want to root to install a new ROM and battery tweaks. Here are my requirements:
MUST be stable
Smooth
Good battery life
I want something I don't have to constantly tweak. With my note 4 I essentially changed so much that at the end it became such a nuisance trying to keep modding etc. I want to set this up and forget about it, unless needed.
Thanks !

Use Paranoid Android 7.2.1

Vertex OS

There are people that use RR and have insane battery life, but i recommend hydrogen os because it's officially supported by Oneplus and have a better battery life than oxygen os

Thanks, I'll look into this!

I understand where you are coming from, but from a practical point of view, if someone recommended a ROM, you may find your experience different from theirs. Happens all the time. Second, it's a good idea to read first. I just got this phone. All I have done is read threads here at xda. Not even so much ROMs, but reading about the phone. This step alone has saved me from myself in the past. Makes it easier to troubleshoot problems.

OxygenOS

Youll probably find yourself coming back to stock tbh lol...

I agree. I have tested enough roms to conclude that for the 3T there's no point in trying to find something better than stock
Perhaps only something purely based on oxygen os, but more debloated, like freedomOS

basically it doesnt matter, 99% is all placebo.
TugaPower is out-of-box really good, which is LineageOS with some small mods (Viper4Android Audio mod ie.)

good battery life, camera comparable to oxygen os, stable and fast rom , theme option for people who don't use substratum theme engine

Beta with Magisk for root and a kernel of your choice. Get some performance and battery benefits from the kernel (if that's the type you decide to flash). Debloat it. Use Greenify and BetterBatteryStats to eliminate wakelocks.

Smooth, stable and substratum suppprt

I guess stock is the best choice here for you. It has no additional battery hungry features like viper but is still stable. You may consider flashing a kernel instead and I would hardly recommend you to read into them since that's the best way to get to know to new kernels.

I would say oos..if u want a flawless stock experience with better battery life, use freedom os..
I personally use oos open beta 12( rooted with magisk) with elemental x kernel..it gives me good battery and flawless performance..apps like substratum and viper 4 arise works fine..

Thanks for all the replies. I tried out RR and had an issue with the WiFi dropping - since this was a business phone I decided not to flash a custom ROM. I am now on OOS open beta, the latest one. Loving the parallel apps feature!
Now to get into theming and modding. I've got the basics down already like greenify, BBS.
Any recommendations on rooted apps? What have I missed in the last year or so

MI MiX, FIRST STEPS?

I'll have my new Mi Mix tomorrow. What are some of/all of the things I should do to make it the best it can be? At the very least, what are some of the big things I should do right away?
Bootloader Unlocking
OEM Unlocking
Update OS to 7.?.? or Oreo if possible? How?
Root - Anyone know what the best method is, maybe provide a link, I'm a noob.
Flash ROM - What's the best ROM out there? One that doesn't cripple the phone in anyway, what are the benefits of it?
Pixel/Pixel 2 Camera App, is that included in any ROMs? Is there a way to install it only?
Is there any other way to make the camera better?
Is sticking with stock worth it or just to unbearable?
Did I miss anything? Any links you can provide would be greatly appreciated! I get so overwhelmed looking through these forums I wind up giving up. I really want to make this phone the best it can be!
Thanks in Advance!
P.S. If you and recommendations for cases or screen protectors, that would be cool too!

Go to the guide section it's all there, as for Oreo, were still waiting.

My best advice is give miui a chance I love it make a miui forum acct and get themes I've always been the root and custom rom guy but I love this phone as is with themes of course

+1 for that. Some call miui is laggy etc, which is bullshît. I was always choosing miui even on non-mi devices. Theme engine of miui: A fk'n cool stuff ever built in my eyes. Easy to set and customizable ?
Yet, I tried many of Los/Aosp based roms on Mix, always went back to miui, Epic rom actually.

Thanks for all the replies! I got the phone a day early and holy crap is this thing gorgeous!
Anyway, @Kalisfura1001, I took a brief look at the guides and boy there's a lot of modifications, tweaks, etc... Surely standard for any phone on these forums but still a bit overwhelming for me. I'll dig deeper once I'm more settled in with the phone. Thanks.
@gtshiftin6, @james1089, I'm happy to hear that you really enjoy using MIUI. Some questions for you if you would be so kind:
Is there an MIUI beta update out there with Nougat and is it worth it? Or are you just using the latest MIUI provided by OTA updates?
What tweaks or App installs have you done. if any, to help out with the poor performance of the camera?
Are there any tweaks in the settings that you would recommend turning on/off?
That's all I can think of at the moment. If you guys think of anything else that new owner may not be aware of please share!
Thanks

Which Custom Rom for the best Pixel like experience?

Hello,
I hop you can help out.
I got realy tired if MIUI and it's heavy weight "souvenirs", therefore i'd like to install a Custom Rom to get the closest pixel like experience possible. I saw the Pixel Experience ROM which seems to have been abandoned by it's creator. A case which i would realy like to avoid.
On my Galaxy S4 Back in the days I realy liked Lineage OS, because it was clean and pretty well maintained.
What rom can you recommend me that is:
well maintained
as close to a pixel experience as possible
Realy looking forward to your recommendations!
BR

I'm on Project 404 now (with FlameGapps) and it's the best in terms of battery life and pixel experience. I recommend also Paranoid Android.
Unfortunately PE Plus has a lot of battery drain.

Revenge OS is very good in terms of performance and battery life, maybe the best... It's also updated frequently. But if you want pure pixel experience I don't recommend it.

One issue I already found: can't see when people are calling me nor can I see the call window when I call someone. Known bug?
Edit:
Found it: have to set default app for calls in settings. Now I'm fully happy. Thank you!
