Suggestions for an AOSP Lollipop ROM?

Hi, I'm looking for a suggestion on a good Lollipop ROM with AOSP look.
I need it to be stable enough for a daily medium usage (Web browsing, Facebook & Messenger, no gaming except for some light games here and there (like aa)), and good battery life with at least 4 hours of SOT. It's a 2GB version though. Will any ROM for D855 work on it?
I actually prefer cyanogenmod on my devices, but I heard it has some issues, so that's why I'm asking for a suggestion.

I've been using CM12 on my D852 for quite a while and just moved up to CM12.1 and I have no issues with SOT, 4h+ or battery life. Bugs are so minimal I'm not sure you'll find any. I use the HTC M9 Camera mod, google " HTC m9 camera on LG G3" + the htc m9 patch v1.1.
I'm not sure I trust the cm12 camera, though it supports 4k recording in CM12.1

Sorry for to be a newbie
Whats is ASOP and OPO. I saw it several time but cant get the right full name of it or meaning?
Thank you for your answer.

AOSP= Android Open Source Project
OPO= one plus one?

Depends on what you want. If you want the stock-based experience, then in this Forum here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development ) you can find ROMs such as CloudyG3 and ChupaChups ROMs that are based off stock. You can install AOSP themes for stock if you want complete customization for stock features, otherwise there's AOSP ROMs like BlissPop (HIGHLY recommend), Euphoria-OS, and others. Have a look around the forum I linked you to above, see which you'd prefer and look at all the features of each ROM and see which suit you. If you want battery life then AOSP is the way to go with nearly unlimited customization and custom kernels (Stuff that controls your CPU, GPU, screen,etc) you can achieve almost double the screen on time of the stock ROM. BlissPop's latest version includes the 777 kernel by jon777 and an app built-in to select whether you'd rather performance or battery life.
Essentially, AOSP is the pinnacle of Customization, while stock-based ROMs allow you to keep the stock experience with some tweaks. Although AOSP ROMs don't have some stock features like the QRemote, QCircleCase and others built in, you CAN install XPosed (Currently in Super-Alpha for Android 5.1) modules that insert these features into the ROM. For example, I'm running BlissPop with an Xposed Module that does all the funcitons of the QuickCircleCase so I'm able to use it with my non-stock ROM.
Ultimately it's up to you, but I'd look through that forum I linked you to above and see which looks best and suits you the best.
Hope this helped!

Custom ROM recommendation, lollipop

I've tried AICP and XenonHD, but they have some bugs and lag(on my HOX) except on performance governor.
Is there any "cleaner" ROM, like AOSP or CM12.1?
I saw CM12.1(unofficial), is it good?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any CLEAN ROM, not full of .... like changing notification bar color(just example)?
AOSP? I couldn't find any.

First of all don't post in two different section it is enoght to post only on one place.
Second one no body will say this rom is better then anather, have few roms based on lolipop try them all and take decision for you wich one is better. And don't be anger for this where you don't like some roms the dev's work free for this roms and you are not happy. Yes the roms are stable for daily use and some people like AICP and XenonHD, others like SlimLP or Resurection Remix, other CM12.1 or FlexOS, Pac ROM too. You install two you heave to install more 5 and take decision. If you are not happy with lolipop you can try KitKat if you are not happy with them too, then go back to JellyBean if not happy with them flash stock rom, if not happy with stock buy a new phone with Marshmallow.

First of all, thank you for your answer.
Second, I respect everything devs have done for the community but I don't like when they say "smooth" when it isn't. Also, I'm raping the "thanks" button whether I like the ROM or not. I tried these because they seemed the most popular.
Third, I'm not expecting stuff to work like on S6 for eg. but just working normal would be enough.(Had HD2 with jellybean, I know what is patience). I'm not even mad for those options, I like them. But if they cause stability issues, why adding them..
Fourth, if you read, you would see I apologized for posting in "General" and wrote for mods to delete it.
I guess I'll try Resurrection.
Have you tried CM12.1?
EDIT: My first post was a little bit rude. Changed it now. I was angry when my phone got stuck while trying to play Youtube video in HD.

No I didn't try CM12.1 but some people say it is good. Try SlimLP too, Pac Rom is new too the thread is before few days it is new in the ONE X forum. Just try them all and maybe you will find the best rom for you. I am on JB because I need realy stable phone because of my job 24/7,and good battery life, only today I have 180 min call time. With KitKat and LP roms have big battery drain and this is know bug. I will see the new Marshmallow release how is going, hope @teemo will make it perfect for us.:fingers-crossed:

Costum ROM - been absent and lost the touch

hello there!
I have been absent from this community for a long time but i think its time that i finally load a costum rom again. and there are a loooot of new acronyms that i dont know and i am completly lost.
i have been looking for a costum rom which is (close) to stock without many fancy stuff which offers a smooth user experience while offering a good battery peformance. right now i am using stock with the elementalx kernel and one of its profiles.
mostly playing pokemon go, listening to music on spotify and reddit/9gag with youtube in the evening.
which one could you recommend to me? i was looking at xtrafactory, any experience?
best regards!

well, stock AOSP or stock Google?
if AOSP, go for Omni/PA/Chroma
If Google, go for Pure Nexus (has custom features) or Xtra (totally stock factory as far as features go, with gapps included).
For best combo if features and smoothness, I would go for DU.

Care to share what are the features of that rom? unable to find any info regarding that

YAOSP is not on XDA, I think that updates are not so frequent.
I suggest Chroma, in my opinion it just lacks translations. Very fast, smooth and battery friendly. Perfect with EX kernel.

Sure it has N5X support? Seems like N5 is the closest I found.

Try out a few different ROMs and kernel combos to see what suits you..but you can't go wrong with Chroma + Phasma Kernel/ElementalX. I personally run Uberstock which comes with Phasma kernel and it's been great! Better than Chroma for me.

Stock Rom vs Custom Roms.

Today, I went back to the Stock rom, Lg G3 marshmallow... even tho i have bloatwares of Tmobile and other apps, the performance is smooth, battery is good also i found that the phone doesn't get hot on the back like when using custom roms.
I have been using different custom roms, like N&N, Fulmics 5.3 and 6.0 ... etc but all had the issue of getting my phone super hot and not smooth as stock.
Are you using a custom rom for Lg g3?
If yes, which one and why you choose it over the stock? pros and cons of the custom rom?
Thanks!

I been off of stock for awhile now. I rooted my phone and flashed a custom rom within two weeks. Way too much bloatware on stock. I tried a few roms. My favourite was Dirty Unicorns, but I am on Slimsabre 5.1.1. now. I am considering trying Paranoid Android to see how it is. Plus right now I am running without gapps, which is another advantage to custom roms. My battery life has greatly improved and I love it without Google Play Services. I prefer the AOSP roms over even stock roms like Fulmics. I tried Fulmics and I wasn't really impressed with it. More customization I have found, and I like the custom kernels settings that are available. Only thing I do miss is the knock code feature. It was so much easier and faster to unlock the phone that way. I had overheating issues as well. Once I lowered my resolution to 1080p the overheating woes were done.

well.. AOSP has a big disadvantage for me because of the Camera quality, a lot of force close and the lack of features, IR blaster and keyboard...but i guess some were ported?... and i guess the knock code feature can be added through xposed? i remember seeing a module there.
Also, not sure i can live without gapps, for updates and looking for apps and also the voice commands, make the phone smart, useful and fun.
overheating issues with aosp?
At the end, we are going to end up with AOSP one day because of Nougat won't be supported by snapdragon 801... and CM is doing a good job with it but it seems that what they are going to port is just some features and the UI... which makes it quiet hard to leave the full stock rom for AOSP .

Yes the camera quality suffers but for me, I don't use the camera really so I am fine with it. The knock code from xposed only works when the screen is on, which defeats the purpose of the knock code I think. There is f-droid, and apk's that I use. Plus if I switch roms, titanium backup has my apps backed up so it saves the headache of having to install each one again. I've been getting away from Google do no Gapps is the first part. I am starting to trust open source more now. I had overheating issues but once I lowered the resolution to 1080p it fixed the issue.

Giving my Z2 to Mom, How to make it fool proof? Suggest ROM and Apps Details inside

The requirements are simple – everything should just work fine. Requirements include games like Subway Surfers and such, browsing the web, YouTube and working camera. For me I am getting a Mi A1 or Redmi Note 5 Pro (I don’t like MIUI though but for the price I can compromise and it seems the best choice, there are no other options at that price, please suggest if you have other device in mind. Also in future I can Install ROMs on Note 5 Pro also, so yeah).
Below are my few ideas:
Stock ZUI EN 2.0.133 ST because it is more stable than Nougat variant. With ZUI I am planning on installing the Material Notification Shade app to fix the disappearing notifications icons issue but in my testing I found it to be using almost 50% of the battery, therefore I am scrapping ZUI idea. Also ZUI feels a bit cluttered too. If the notification shade app can be made to consume less battery then I will go with it though. I know ZUI with Oreo is around the corner but it's ZUI after all.
I am currently using AEX 5.2. It is quite stable but has good overnight battery drain, like ~15% sometimes. Yesterday I slept at 3 am with 82% and woke up with 68% battery at 10 am. Also there is the camera problem. I have been using the Modded GCAM and it is GREAT! Only problem is the videos, unusable slow motion and normal videos come dark and they are unusable as well. BUT for videos I use OnePlus’ camera app and it is good but I can’t see mom using camera without getting confused So I am ready to forgo the camera2api magic and install a non-frills camera.
So for Camera please suggest an all-rounder workable camera application that I can install in the system or as priv-app and also any suggestion for the battery drain.
I am looking at some other ROMs as well. I want to test some ROMs that just work. I have been hearing about ViperOS and H2OS for some time that they are great. I just need a ROM that will work, no bells and whistles needed. So please Suggest some ROMs.
If you have any other suggestion then please let me know.

I did use 4.6 way back and here is what i found if i recall:
In notification shade when you swipe the notification it stutters.
I don't remember about the heating issue though.
It was stuttery in general now that i remember, i had to flash Heliox Kernel for the heating issue and there was no improvement in the performance.
4.4 was quite good if i remember it correctly.
Anyways thanks i think i might revisit this ROM

I do not have any battery drain. 1 percent at nigth on airplane mode . Check ur apps.

you can use deodexed zui 3.5 oreo oreo zui is far better than nougat zui

I have to say, just ask your mum about her preferences of what she likes to use out of the phone.
And install barebone AOSP-ish rom with adblock/popup block/youtube ad-block on it. Then get her apps installed and she'll be happy. No complexities whatsoever.
Our elders aren't picky as us , my mum is using an LG G3 and its been on fulmics rom from day one, and it works perfect for her because all she does is follow up daily news, youtube, browse some internet, watch some episodes and thats it.
Also a 5.5" or 6" screen is ideal for our elders because of good visiblity of text etc.

For stuttering issue, use HelioX kernel. You'll get the best performance+battery efficiency out of AEX 4.6.
If you want good camera, flash this camera oss.zip from here and use Pixel Camera mod by Arnova. Then you're good to go.

Aw man now i feel like i am doing something wrong.
Okay i'll try it again but tell me if there are any mods i have to do to get the best out of the rom.
like what kernel, camera app, gapps package size, baseband version, magisk etc.

I'm using the rom as it is, with its own kernel (it's heliox btw). The rest is up to you, I'm using gapps pico, magisk just to have root and remove ads with adaway and gcam mod

just use viper os 3.1.1 with heliox 10/15 ..

Nitrogen OS Would be the Best! But there isn't any solution to Dark Videos as yet. Still you can use Proshot or Footej Camera for the Job.
