Hi guys. Back to my reserve phone it feels kinda slow now compared to first times back in 2015. In this current marshmallow stock rom I have "not registered on network" issue whether or not my SIM is inserted. Looking for some of the stable and lightest ROM out there for better battery life you know. Which ones do you guys recommend?

picked up a old used captivate recently, planning on using it for a prepaid and only going to be using it for calling/texting.. no data.. if anything i may use wifi once every blue moon.
just got 2.3.5 with recovery mode on it.. was looking through all the roms and couldnt decide what would be best for me 0_o
I would go for the Lanight ROM. It's extremely smooth and fast.
Hi,
I am currently considreing this dual sim phone as an upgrade from my Lenovo P780 which has horrible problems with reception.
Can we expect more ROMs for P7 dual sim soon? So for I see almost none I like pure android roms not a 3rd party GUI.

I think the dual sim model is the P7-L00 variant. There are a number of custom ROMs for this variant. To give you an idea check this site out:

You'll need to make use of Google translate to work out what the features are.
Pretty much all of the ROM development is occuring in China. It's likely to stay that way as well. The phone is not being sold on a global basis and as far as I can see sales are confined to Europe and China. I imported mine from Hong Kongas they are not sold where I live.
It's a nice phone. Quite responsive, good display, good specs and very lightweight. I've not experienced any major issues. If you wnt a phone with heaps of ROM development then you need to look elsewhere.

This device just came out few months ago, now Vodafone is starting to sell them too so I'm sure it will have a decent popularity in Europe in these months to come.
And for the default ROM with EmotionUI, I was surprised for how fast and reliable it was. I'm a veteran coming from multiple Android devices and I have tried all their different ROM flavours (from CyanogenMod to MoKee, MIUI to SlimKat, and a lot more) and this EmotionUI ROM made from Huawei really is great, that I have left apart my maniac obsession of custom ROMs for now.
I'm sure if you'll consider one day to buy this device you won't regret it, and the design in my opinion is absolutely stunning. Everytime I take it out from my pocket, everybody will start to look at it curiously for at least 5 seconds.

Yeah the Honor 6 is a beast, it's the big brother of the Ascend P7. I was considering buying it too but then I prefered the deisgn of latter one, it's just a matter of tastes.
I'm no noob to this, but wouldn't consider myself a Dev at all.
Of course I'm not suggesting actually flashing Verizon's stock lollipop on my unlocked T-Mobile S5 G900T
But, i was absolutely shocked,stunned when i was able to play with both my coworkers' Verizon G900V's on 5.0. Checked out the battery life especially
I've had T mobile's S5 for 8 or so months. As soon as i got it,as i do with every new Galaxy phone i get, i get the extended battery, this phone got the Gorilla 5800mAh.. 2x a stock battery
Long story short, Tmobile's lollipop came out,i flashed the Stock Tmobile 5.0 and the battery went from lasting 2-3 days to lasting from 7am to 4pm (9 hours with the same type of use) so 9 hours(5.0) vs 2-3 days(4.4) on my g900t
Flashed multiple times just in case, always awful battery. 3/4 of a day lasted with a battery thats twice as big? So im back on 4.4 and happy.
But seeing my friends Verizon's lollipop, them being happy with the battery life, and the build, it makes me wonder if there is something i can flash to my G900T that uses some part or most parts of Verizons build of 5.0 on my Tmobile G900T?
Some sort of cross firmware or something. Like i said, i'm no dev, but that would be nice.
I want 5.0 but the battery life for the G900T is unacceptable with lollipop, at the same time, i like to stay as close to stock as possible these days , i use it for work now.
I wonder if the two months difference in release could have made that much difference? Any rom suggestions?
02/08/15 5.0 for T mobile Released
04/08/15 5.0 for Verizon Released
Have you tried a different kernal?
I've been using a MM based rom for sometime now, but from the start I've noticed that battery life has been way less impressive than it used to be. When on LL, two days of moderate use was not something unusual for me, but with MM I haven't last more than a day not a single time, on a busy day my phone can die in 16 hours. My battery is rather new, about 6 months old and really well taken care of.
So, what's your opinion? Is LP more gentle on our phones than MM?
Actually, in the beginning it seemed like LP was friendlier but after months of use, I have to say MM is excellent.
It's very smooth and in comparison to ask the rest of the phones I currently own, all 2017, it's battery lasts forever.
I can never quite get to two days but certainly a day and change.
Services and controls in MM are updated and with that comes better battery if you know how to set everything up.
Also, stock should no longer be an option for Note 4. I'm getting better performance AND battery on ported roms... because they're better programmed and updated, where as Note 4's firmware is now stagnant.
Get a NOTE 5 or NOTE 7 port, get the right Kernal, you will NOT regret it. Changed my life.
Marshmallow is better! The only reason there was ever a dispute over this, Is because in the early stages of marshmallow there were bugs and problems, but now all is good.
Marshmallow added much more features. Anytime you add more code and processes, I don't care how little they are, they're gonna use some power. Hence why your battery drain. But for me marshmallow had been smooth and more secure.
Which is the most stable note 7 which u suggest...with min no of bugs...i have a n910g
I need to buy a phone. My preferences are good performance, good community support and development and ample storage. Mi5 only comes with 32GB here in India. But given the price to performance ratio, its awesome. Can someone tell me if I opt for this, what will I be looking forward to ??
I've seen the Redmi Note 4 getting more or less regular updates and MIUI 9 is quite stable. Can the same be said for the Mi5 ??
Since it has the SD820, I can assume it won't be lagging any time soon. Since the development looks awesome, the phone isn't going down any time soon. So is this a good buy now ??
Any comments and/or advice is appreciated.
I bought my Mi5 4months ago and I am very happy! for this price tag 190€ for 64GB it's a good deal!
If you like flashing and trying out different roms, than yes!
It's a high performance phone with a lot of options as far as roms, kernels and tweaks go.
As for the MIUI global rom, I can't say that I was satisfied when I was using it. I felt like it was hindering performance, especially since they updated to nougat, and only with custom roms (including custom MIUI roms like MIUI eu) I was able to squeeze all the performance MI5 has to give

i bought the 32gb model too because it was the only one available in india. i bought it in june 2016 .
it is still a good option if you install lineage or any other custom rom the day you get it because miui global is straight up trash.
if you decide to buy this get the black colour( it hides the black bars around the screen) and flash lineage os the day you get it....
also gps is not good.. battery life average at best( after all this time)
much better when it was new...
good luck
Go for it Best phone I ever had after LG G2. But the experience is much better on LOS 14.1, but it's my personal opinion. For 200 euro you won't get anything better.
