New to Android - Which ROM should I use?

I was WP/iOS user and recently switched to Android. Just got my OP3, which is my first Android device. I am wondering, which custom ROM should I get. I kinda need more battery life and SOT so I want to ditch the OOS.
Do note that I have literally 0 use for fingerprint scanner, android pay and camera (well, not fully but any mediocre quality camera/pictures will work).
Also, I would appreciate if there is any guide or video tutorial, showing the whole process of custom ROM installation.

I would recommend Cyanogenmod 13.0 with Elemental X kernel.

OOS is a great near-stock rom tbh, but if you still want to try another I'd recommend Sultan's CM

Would recommend you to stay with stock as you may feel all this tweaking thing a bit laggy (coming from iOS , which doesn't let you even customize properly) but for sake of having the taste of tweaking :
Its a 2 part step
1) Unlocking bootloader , installing TWRP , backing up your data (as this will completely wipe out your phone) including whats app (using google drive built-in feature) and messages (using "SMS back up and restore" available in Play Store) . Avoid using links provided in video discriptions

2 ) Installing Custom Rom close to stock with patched Kernal would be better for you to address battery and SOT issue and lot of audio mods , I would suggest freedom OS 1.6 CE ,

I'd say OOS on stock has the best battery. If you want some rock hard stability along with battery, go for ElementalX kernel on OOS. If you dont want OOS so badly, then go for sultanxda s rom.

I've never been interested in securing my phone and thought I would not use the FP scanner but found it is the quickest and easiest way to unlock the phone so I use and love it now. Just a quick press and the phone is ready to go instead of a double-tap + swipe etc. I suggest you get familiar with OOS for a while before you jump.

Resurrection Remix Blackjubel is great
There es elementalx Kernel preinstalled
It's smooth and stable and battery life is also good.
And you have many in build Features so you don't have to install xposed.

@arandomdude, this poll might shed some light on your question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/september-rom-kernel-mega-poll-t3456213.

Just at OOS, just root it, install Xposed and use Amplify and Greenify. It'll boost your SOT a lot. Also don't use Chrome browser. It drains battery a lot.

No one can tell you what the best custom ROM for you is as everyone's preferences vary, my advice stick to stock for now . SOT will improve over the first week of usage and you need to get to know the device / OS before choosing a rom to mitigate any perceived weaknesses. Take your time assessing new roms, as I said SOT will take about a week to stabilise. Above all enjoy yourself it only takes a few minutes to flash a new rom do why not try them all.

New to android?
Then start reading, you have a hell lot of things to learn, don't blindly jump into what random users says is good, laziness will damage your phone and diminish your trust in Android

Hey,
Recently broke my phone and bought a Find 7 as a replacement. Hate the OS so started searching for ROMS etc. Never flashed anything or rooted anything so everything I've done so far - I've just learned.
I basically want to get as close to android 6.0 marshmallow stock as possible. Which ROM is the best for this?
So basically, I've tried to flash CM13 (latest release) which I got directly from their website, all goes well however when the phone boots the screen is blank. Volume rockers work, capacitive buttons work and haptic feed back there but screen is blank. Not sure what the problem is.
ANY help at all is appreciated.
I have the Find 7 QHD version which I think is the 7S? (X9076)
Thanks all!

1) You have to flash CWM or Twrp recovery to your phone. I recommend TWRP 3.0.2. Download it for your OPPO Find 7.
Flash it. Can be done via ADB.
2) You need micro SD card formatted by the phone! Not necessary but recommended.
2) Then download needed ROM( I like crDroid : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3171600
but it's developer left it. So no further support planned) to SD card(on PC of course).
3) Put the card into the phone.
4) On the phone: go to recovery mode. Wipe data, system, cache.
5) Install ROM from the micro SD card.
That is all. Enjoy it.

You can also check out resurrection remix rom. Find the official thread in xda for find 7. As for your screen being blank it maybe because you have a new lcd panel which the official cm rom does not support. Try flashing omni rom instead. Last nightly is from aug 30. It is very stable and very close to stock android.

Hey guys,
Many thanks for those tips (especially for the LCD patch - I'll have to try that).
So CM seems to be the best for Find7 at the moment but doesn't support unified storage? Does this mean I'll have this silly app storage limit? Anyway around it using CM?
As for the rest which is best (close to stock, stable, no bugs) -
RR
Omni
Nameless
Thanks

Omni is close to stock and very stable. RR and possibly nameless are both cm based.
Used omni for a couple of months and now using rr for the last couple of days. I would choose rr because of all the additional features.
Both are great daily drivers. Both support lvm so you can unify your storage in coloros and then flash either rom.

Hmmm,
CM thread has loads of additional things like installing some of the default apps like camera etc and how to get rid of all the bloatware.
I'll probably try nameless first since it seems to be the most popular next to CM. Its hard choosing one since theres so many! Out of Omni and RR which do you think is faster? What features does RR have that made you switch over to it?

If you truly want a stock like experience without too many features and full stability in your software then I would recommend Omni for you.
RR and DU have a lot of extra features relating to various visual effects that can be tweaked to your liking which can make your software look pretty, if you are interested in that sort of thing.
Cm is also stock like experience with some bugs here and there, nothing too big.
Nameless is based on cm with a few extra features but personally that Rom gives me bad battery life. (can be different for you)
Exodus, Mokee and Crdroid are just better alternatives to CM regarding features.
Edit: There are Roms that provide you with the option of LVM and there are those which only support stock partition. (Lvm is a way to enhance storage capacity).
Cm and a few other Cm based Roms that do not support lvm can be used with the chinese partition instead which also increases storage. But that is a bit lengthy process and for someone new like you I would recommend you to stay with a Rom like Omni which does support LVM.
Hope all this helped somehow

Interesting ROM. Smooth, very fast, it is interesting to choose additional settings (not many, but the most necessary). App start quickly. Nova Launcher, Phonograph, Substratum. No root, strange but no camera (Snap Camera HDR works super). Good firmware, I think many will like it. But RR is better :laugh: (Google translation)

I decided to stay on this ROM for a few days for testing. (Google Translate)

So next week it's gonna be XenonHD.
Finally got to the letter X after about two weeks of flashing almost every AOSP ROM we got.
Man...on your Github thing it's like raining ROMs there. Xenon seems to be right in the middle in terms of custom options. Just enough for me.
It's like LOS but with Substratum and Nova.
On thing I noticed on every ROM is that on startup where you choose language the screen either turns black or sometimes green. You still can choose the languague by tapping the black screen.
Flashed most ROMs with gapps pico 05-20.
Thanks a lot for sharing your work.
Since you're searching for ROMs maybe you haven't heard about ScrewdROM (or ScrewedRom?).

https://github.com/Spookcity/ROMS-G800F/issues/10 There are many roms uploaded, maybe some you like, I'm trying to compile screwdrom, but I had some problems, anyway I'll try

Really like XenonHD. Been using it for the last couple of days and it's running very smooth.
It has Nova launcher, Substratum (which works flawlessly), internal root (but I use MagiskSU 12.0), dt2s on statusbar and lockscreen.
You can turn off the button lights and there is no preinstalled camera app.
Toast symbols work and there also are LED setting. Battery life is great for me.
Thanks for making this work on our device.
Also thanks for the many ROMs on the github page.

After using XenonHD for a week I'm pretty happy with it. Had not a single issue. ROM feels very smooth. Kernel test6 was also running good.
This is a ROM for people who don't need that many custom options. But it has more than Mokee or Octos.
Next I'm gonna try AOSGP from that new Github page, it has a lot of options just like crDroid or RR.
Hard to decide which ROM to use next. From test flashing I also liked Candy, Legend and Liquid.
---------------
 @jimmy999x AOSGP has trouble with onboard Pixel launcher which doesn't work (flashed the ROM twice). Onboard Flick launcher does work.
I flashed Nova launcher and after rooting with Magisk Nova was very buggy (flickering and screen reset again and again), so reflashed Nova.
Again same trouble after uninstalling the Pixel launcher and Nova had to be reflashed. And once more after restoring some apps with Tibu.
Now after a day ROM seems very smooth and I will stay on it.
Thanks for the many many ROMs.

Hey, thanks for the update. Did a dirty flash over the last version and it runs great.
Substratum works really fast, Magisk 13.3 works. Spookcity's kernel 3.0 also works.
Battery LED shows when charging with powered off device.
I use the app Android Assistant to show the boot time in a message and here the app icon in the message is colored in the apps color...nice (before only white).
It uses the round icons and could be compared with Liquid ROM in terms of custom options.
Device is now G800 and no F so no certified device, but I don't care.
Thanks for the many ROMS.
BTW Cosmic didn't boot and Carbon showed error 7, am3d is Liquid dark and Emotion looks like AOKP and has some trouble with Substratum crashing also the interfacer crashes.

can we pleas get an update on this rom? i wanted to do it myself, but im new to compiling roms and i didn't get any good results. this is the best rom for s5 mini so far for me, and i tested like all of them. its smooth af, and the personalisation options are perfect, nothing more needed and nothing less

How is the audio clarity and quality when compared to the stock ROM? I have stopped flashing any custom ROMs - be it Oreo or Pie just because of this issue. Also, could you please share the full camera version that you are currently using - is that without the Portrait mode? Also, how much screen-on time are you getting?

Hello there... this post got my interest too. I have jumped back and forth between stock and custom. It is sad "for me" that it seems most devs have given up on supporting / maintaining Oreo 8.1. Everyone is trying to iron out the bugs in a Pie custom... however, I simply want the stability to be there... especially with the camera features and battery life. I am not a gamer either, btw. With all of that said, I have a question or two please.
1. Why did you quote using an older version of Magisk? Is there a compatibility thing that I should be aware of?
2. With the Gcam mod you referenced, does stability work smoothly while recording video? I have found that in many custom builds the stability mode can be jerky and no too smooth.
TIA

Best custom rom for Mi A2 lite

1.Which is the fastest, smoothie,bettery saving custom rom for Mi A2 lite?
2.Which is the fastest, smoothie,well optimised(ram management aslo) custom rom for Mi A2 lite?
Please help me and thanks in advance.

I went through several custom ROMs and ended at Android 10 crDroid. Even though most custom ROM devs now switched to Android 11 (R) development, from my experience the R ROMs are still too new and too buggy for daily use. A custom ROM probably won't help you save much battery, but for RAM management, you'll see massive improvements given how terrible it is on stock.

This GCam: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-the_dise/f/dl0/
Remember to enable HAL3 in Settings - System - Camera HAL Switch. Also portrait mode (the blurry background thing) and HDR+ don't work on selfie camera, so you have to disable them before taking selfies. Everything else works well.

Thank you so much

Syberia os
fast system, but it has its own problems as in other custom firmwares. As I understand it, no custom firmware developer is able to fix some bugs due to the fact that some bugs are found on absolutely all firmware for several versions of android in a row.

I used Android 10 crDroid. More than often the bottom navigation bar became unresponsive. Real show stopper for me.

What's the situation now? I realised that the phone is no longer getting security updates which is not great. I haven't flashed custom in years, but I remember it was a bother to get banking apps working. Is it still a problem? What's the most reliable and secure custom out there?

Almost all of the custom ROM available for Mi A2 lite is very stable and bugless. Ram management was never a problem in custom ROMs and battery life provided by customs is very near to stock ROM ( keep in mind the battery is very old).
Banking apps should work fine. But it also depends upon the app itself. You can pass safety net and app requiring only safety net should work fine.

Do you need Magisk for safety net? I remember I had to do that with my old LG G4.
Which of ROMs is best when it comes to security updates?

For some ROMs you don't need magisk and for some you do. Almost all the ROMs for daisy are up-to-date and receive monthly updates.

There isn't a "best", your experience will determine which is the best for you. I have tried POSP, arrow, crDroid 7 and all of them are very stable and up-to-date. They differ only in customizations and such. Search what do you want and see the specific features of each ROM.
Battery life and stability cannot be compared across users and different ROMs. You can choose any one of the ROMs, all of then are very good for daily usage.

Have you been able to get Android Auto running on any of those ROM's? I tried a couple of ROM's a year ago but AA never worked except on stock (which is no longer updated as we know).

I flashed latest Arrow OS, Gapps version, no root, and Android auto works on it.

I used Android 10 crDroid. More than often the bottom navigation bar became unresponsive. Real show stopper for me.

I've found unofficial LOS 18.1 the most stable. Almost no issues.
