For some reason, my S6 feels really sluggish after a few hours of not rebooting. I am currently running TeamSPR Rom with the Hacker Kernel. Haven't changed any of the settings of the kernel.
I have also experienced this in stock as well. Not sure if it is my device or if its normal.
My S6 is not even a month old running the latest firmware.

Love CM, and enjoy trying out new roms/builds on my phone regularly.
I just bought a SGS2 on ATT about a week ago, and after a few days running stock, i am now on the newest CM KANG build.
It runs great, but my only concern (sort of) is battery life. When flashing CM, or any non i777 rom on my phone, there are drawbacks. Its not horrible, and deifnitley something i can live with, but im wondering is the nexus phones are faced with the same issues.
For example, my standby drain when using the stock rom w/o root was about 12-15% after using it minimally for 7 hours. That same use with CM is about double, which still isnt THAT bad.
Ive never owned a nexus phone, but im wondering how CM performs, and if there are any drawbacks to flashing CM over the stock rom that comes installed on the device.
As someone who flashes a lot, and someone who is starting to get tired of troubleshooting bugs, should i consider selling my SGS2 and gettings a nexus prime?
Cm is best on nexus phones.

I've used CM on both my Nexus One and currently running it on my Nexus S. While I did enjoy it on the N1, it's been unstable on my NS.
I've maybe done one or two battery pulls when I was running the stock ROM on my Nexus S (in a 9 months period). Ever since I've switched to CM7, it seems I do about 4-5 battery pulls a week. And the battery life has been inconsistent. I'm getting ready to revert back to stock. In my case, the added features of CM7 do not outweigh the reliability I was experiencing on the stock ROM.
Once I get the Galaxy Nexus, I'll definitely rock the stock ICS build for as long I can.

hmmmm, i thought CM is just an AOSP rom that is skinned and modded, so maybe the problem isnt the incompabilties with the hardware, but that CM is actually bad on battery life itself.
The rom that nexus phones use are just AOSP roms with google apps installed right?
In all politeness to Cyanogen and G8D love him for his work on the android platform. I would never run one of his roms on my phone.
I have never really been that impressed with the actual running of the roms. They are great full featured produces but from my experience with them they have never been the best rom for a device.

No skin. Extra features. More tweaked than modded really.

I was just wondering what most of you guys use. And which one is better and more stable. Stock rooted with xposed, or custom ROMS?
bump - interested to know as well
just want a smooth and stable experience. had some memory leak issues since i bought it a month ago - works really fast on boot then slows down after a few days (100hrs on stock and around 40-50 on Pure nexus with bluejay governer/elementalx which i installed cuz it kept lagging right after screen on)
going to go back to stock + xposed on the april one now see if that helps
I am planning to flash my Nexus 7 2013 of a new android OS version. I would like to seek for your help.
Marshmallow works great, minimal lag and the latest security updates
I use Slimroms' Slimkat and absolutely love it. I'm using it to type this right now on my Nexus 7 2013.
KK
I'm dual booting MM and LP right now. I tried going back go KK hoping lag would subside. But I miss lots of the new things. Unlike iOS where the OS is purposefully made laggy, android runs really smooth on the latest OS. On my iOS device I'd rather downgrade(if it were to be possible) since getting the new features are pretty easy(everything's in cydia)+ iOS 6 and older looks great when Steve was alive . On android getting new features is not as easy and often they are pretty buggy when ported. And old version of android isn't aesthetically attractive to me.
Hey, running pure nexus on nexus 7 2013 really fast and full of great features also tryed cm13 nightly but battery life was poo, I'm looking now for a new ROM like purr nexus but want better battery also always do a back up before trying new ROMs belive me when ur buzzing to boot into ur new ROM things go wrong lol peace x
I'm using stock mm rooted and it works great. KitKat is a little faster but not enough to give up the new features. Closed causes my tablet to periodically not want to boot up or to boot really slowly so I got rid of it.
Marshmallow works great for me
Tbh if your system can go back to KK I'd suggest it. Lol might sound old but that's one of the best updates thereabout. MM is second in line tho due to it being really smooth and has tons of features also a lot of ROM support.
IMO kitkat is the most stable. But MM has the newest features and aesthetics and is quite stable too. LP was crap.
For those on MM, how has your battery drain in doze been? I updated to MM and let it "optimize" for weeks, and the drain never got better than -10% overnight. Completely unacceptable. I flashed and reinstalled after a factory reset, and got the same results.
I've had a Verizon M8 since '14. I used Sunshine (or whatever it was) to set S-OFF and have been flashing various ROMs from day 1. Since Marshmallow ROMs started to appear I've been using them. Over the last 2 months or so I've noticed that my phone tends to die at around 50%. Often times after starting the phone again what appears to be filesystem corruption has occurred and settings reset themselves, icons disappear from my launcher, etc. Now I'm more or less looking to find the most stable, reliable ROM to keep me going until I get a Google Pixel.
Yesterday I flashed a the KitKat RUU (0P6BIMG_M8_WL_K444_SENSE60_VZW_MR_VERIZON_WWE_3.28.605.4_HSM_Radio_1.09.20.0926_NV_VZW_2.11_002_release_393779_signed_1.zip MD5: 6077fefbc12b51ae55f1a066c863a414) and so far it seems very stable. I noticed that this version actually has the ability to disable "Fast Startup" like the calibration directions say. I'm now running a stress test to see how fast the battery drains playing a stream.
Anyway, here are my questions: which version has the least number of issues, especially with battery life? Is my experience with Marshmallow ROMs not normal? Is it a known issue? Is either KitKat or Lollipop considered more stable? Do any of you stick to older ROMs?
As for bases, I think my only choice is stock. I love that 1080p60 camera too much to give it up. The flashable Sense camera for GPE ROMs does NOT record at 60fps when in Fast FullHD mode, it doesn't even hit 30 it seems! I don't think CM or any other AOSP ROMs offer it either, but I could be wrong.
I've had my M8 for roughly 6 months with nothing but MM roms on it the whole time. While I cannot vouch for KK or L roms on this device, I can say that your experience with MM roms is not normal. I've had outstanding battery life with MM roms on my device. Have you tried to flash a few different MM roms to see if it was just an issue with one of the roms? And does the issue still persist with the KK rom that you've most recently flashed?
Stay at kitkat , I was having almost most of your problem after I return it to stock it makes everything good or stock gpe its good for battery life.

Had no issues at all with my M8, been using GPE since a week after I bought the phone (about a year ago); Never even saw Kitkat on this device, only Lollipop, which was stock and also worked very well for me...
The GPE camera is as good as it's gonna get with an AOSP base, however they're not all the same. Cyanogen utilizes opensource camera and bluetooth drivers, which in the past have caused mucho trouble for me, GPE is the best of both, Google works with HTC to bake in your phones legit drivers, while still giving the vanilla android experience.
ive tried variety of roms on my sm p600, from debloated stock LP to full stock rom then debloated myself, then to CM13 then recently couple of the CM14
dont get me wrong the unofficial AOSP/CM roms were awesome but they have little bugs and glitches here and there not found in the stock roms, completely understandable and expected and the teams did a fantastic job, however they also have much worse off battery life and gets hot, much hotter than stock firmware if you use it for prolong period, but the speed and smoothness is unbeatable, whereas stock firmware is just rock solid, little could go wrong and things just work as you expect.
is anyone else tired of switching roms back and forth(and im thankful we have so many choices!), i just want something i can stay for sometime without full wiping every so often and im sure many of you share the same sentiment, i am thinking of switching back to stock, debloat it to hell and then just put on the Prime Kernel and leave it til it dies or whatever, the note 2014 had a very good run with me and should still have lots of life left.
does anyone have combination of roms and tweaks thats got a combination of the advantages of both stock and custom roms?
