I'm about to get a replacement for my Nexus 6 and I was wondering if I could get some Fi Network people to help me out with compatible ROMs, hopefully in continuing development.
Not that I use Fi myself, but I believe you need a Nougat or Oreo rom. Pie doesn't support WiFi-calling.
I suggest LineageOS, where the Oreo is kept up to date with security, and built weekly.
Another option is AOSiP, where @wavedashdoc occasionally provides new builds. Last one is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/aosip-8-1-official-t3801408/post79344497

Hello,
I haven't really messed around with rooting or custom roms in years. But my phone is starting to feel a bit dated running Lolipop, Verizon's latest OTA version. I hope to keep it another 18 months though. Ideally, I am looking for something stable and close to stock. And with good battery life (the same or better than stock), preferably with the widely known "battery-dies-before-0%" issue fixed. Future support and security updates an added bonus. I would prefer something Oreo-based, but Nouget wouldn't be too bad if there is an issue with that. I wounder if we'll ever see any Android P roms on this device. These are all the 8.x Oreo ROMs I am aware of for this device that have been updated recently (past 4 months or so). Any Others? What would you guys recommend?

+ SailFish OS, but that doesn't count.
Also, where can I download, or how can I backup the stock Verizon image before tampering with it, so I can latter revert to stock?
Hi,
I am looking for a custom ROM for my father's Huawei P8 Lite 2017. It has to have OTA Updates and it must not have the well known Huawei-Android-Auto-Issues. Because it is for my father, it should run "out-of-the-box" with the mostly used functions (like camera, google apps etc.). I am going to be the one, who installs the ROM, but he will use it.
I was looking to LineageOS / CyanogenMOD, but nobody writes about the Android-Auto-Issues. These issues are the main reason for the wanted change from stock to custom ROM.
Which one can you recommend?
Greetings from Germany.
There are no official roms for this phone and no ota updates either. As far as I can tell development on nougat roms has stopped or slowed down significantly and I wouldn't expect any more updates. Oreo on the other hand is still in beta and roms are still in early builds so quite a few issues/stuff not working is to be expected. I would suggest flashing lineage 14.1, everything is working and it's been recently updated with april security patch but no more updates are coming.
Edit: CrDroid is official with ota updates
As far as OTA Updates, you have CrDroid, this has just been updated as an official ROM on CrDroid site, you just need to be on EMUI 8 in order to install that ROM
Although, I have no idea if it has any issues with Android Auto, but considering that its a Treble ROM, it might not have
Hello
Please advise which is the best ROM Android 8.1 or 9.0 at the moment, which has all the features enabled and no bug?
And as OTA is upgradeable, it does not need to be installed through recovery !
Well, one of the reasons that there are many roms, is that different people find different things "best".
Personally, I'm happy running Nitrogen Pie. Still, there are a few reports of bugs on all Pie roms:
- WiFi calling is missing
- encryption doesn't work
- SeLinux is turned off
If you want OTA updates, I think only Lineage has that. That is also a rom with weekly updates, whereas Nitrogen updates when Nitin feels like it, usually once a month. But Lineage has a bit fewer options to tweak things.
Generally, the Nexus 6 roms are all good. Unless you need very specific stuff, I don't think you'll be disappointed no matter what. And even if you are, changing is easy.
Mention best ROM in your opinion you have ever used till date on MOTO G5S PLUS
Also please try to mention XDA link for your respective ROM .
Not to sound negative or unappreciative, but literally none of them have worked for me in the USA with Sprint as my carrier. If I try to change the carrier settings to work better (or at all) with Sprint, carrier services stops working completely until I reboot. This is the same with literally all the ROMs on this site. I don't know if they're using wrong or very region specific proprietary blobs when compiling or what, but it's the same thing with all the ROMs, including popular "unofficial" ROMs like Dirty Unicorns, LineageOS, etc. It's been a very disappointing experience after upgrading to the Moto G5S Plus from the Motorola Nexus 6 where I had so many more (working) ROM options available.
So, my answer would be the stock ROM. I recently flashed back to stock, unrooted Nougat, took the Oreo update, and since there really aren't any working ROMs available for me, I didn't even bother to root again. Sprint added a free 50GB/month wifi hotspot to each phone on my account and the Camera 2 API is active in Moto's stock Oreo ROM. Those were my two main reasons for rooting, and they're no longer needed. So, I'm just running stock Oreo with Nova Launcher.
I got the RM Note 10 Pro when it was brandnew and just wanted a stable custom rom. I installed and used Arrow OS with Android 11 and was satisfied with it. But then the team and apparently all the other teams stopped supporting and updating those roms and moved on to Android 12 projects. So like 2 month ago I moved on to Lineage 12.1 so I could have a rom that keeps getting updates and support. I don't really like changing roms and transferring everything to the phone that I had before and having to figure out certain things that work differently on the new versions. Now I am seeing Android 13 roms popping out in the forums and I am concerned that thosed based on Android 12 will also stop getting updates and support and force me to change to a Rom with 13. Will the 12 roms keep getting updates at least for a while longer? I would prefer staying on 12.1 for a while

When Xiaomi stops updating an android version, developers must also follow to continue the development of their rom.
Nothing prevents you from staying in A12, security will be and will remain on the date of the last rom in A12.
Xiaomi for some time has preferred to sell phones rather than provide bug-free roms before moving on to another newer android version.
For example, the beta stables are updated via OTA but it is just indicated Stable on the phone, moreover for some phones the beta stables are just renamed stable later when it is exactly the same rom without bug fixes.
For me the A12 Aosp roms are crude and ugly only reason that makes me stay on MIUI but I am from the old school.

The right answer for this is: depends on the resources that community have to preserve the older build. I'm talking about people and hardware. If there's none, they have to move forward to newer one and ditch the older. Why Lineage could support several versions android because they have resources to do so. Most don't have that luxury.
Yes, most custom Android 12 ROMs should be abandoned in the next 2-3 months. Some devs may keep updating 12 if they aren't confident in 13, but that's a bit rare. If you are on a stable Android ROM, stick with that for a year or so even if it means no updates. I plan to upgrade to Android 12 now, have been on Android 11, and when Android 14 comes out, I'll upgrade to Android 13. You might be able to do an in-place upgrade to Android 13 rather than clean installing, if you are lucky.

I am on the same boat. Was running LOS 18.1 happily on Oneplus. Then purchased Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and sh*t started. No official Lineage so started research. Found Arrow to be close. Official and vanilla.
The A11 development was already gone so went with A12 as a future proof option (as I thought). They killed it quick and went 12L. I flashed A12L but after a short while they quit that and went A13. I did not even started to think about swap and they are at A13.1 that I read have bugs.
I wish that development power went in the same direction but no, there are tons of custom ROMs for 'sweet' but I couldn't find stable and polished one. Started to regret that I got a device that is not supported by LOS.
When I got my Note 10 pro last year, I also wanted a device with LineageOS support. But this was the best hardware I could find inexpensively that seemed like it had a lot of development interest, so it's what I went with.
I tried some custom ROMs when I first got it, but was disappointed and went with xiaomi.eu for a long time instead. It's only recently that LineageOS has become available, though it's not official.
