Hello Team,
I do have a Zenfone2 Z00AD, 2GB Ram, and 16GB internal memory.
I kinda seem to find it slow, with the apps and games I have installed in it, it is currently in official firmware.
I am planning to install custom firmware in it, can you guys give me some advice in which custom rom is so far the best that you have tried for zf2?
What I am looking for a custom rom to address for my zf2 are th following:
rooted by default
ready for xposed (if possible)
not power hungry (battery friendly)
debloated (most stock/unnecessary apps removed)
themable (optional)
fast/smooth system/UI
Will have long term support/update (incase if the marshmallow android version will already be officially available for zf2)
So far, what I have in mind are echozen (echoe rom?) and slimp.
Any other suggestion guys will be highly appreciated.
Thank you!
each person have different opinion about what's the best custom rom, i have tried CM 12.1 , Cm 13, RR Remix, the last i try is AICP Rom and since then i stick with this Rom until now, more or less AICP Rom is the most suitable custom rom for my need, to know which Rom you need the most, you should try them, but don't expect too much (looking for perfectness rom) because each rom have plus and minus. to answer your questions in AICP Rom that i use:
rooted by default yes
ready for xposed (if possible) i know nothing about xposed and don't really care either
not power hungry (battery friendly) yes
debloated (most stock/unnecessary apps removed) yes
themable (optional) yes
fast/smooth system/UI yes
Will have long term support/update (incase if the marshmallow android version will already be officially available for zf2) until now the developer always give an update

All ROMs - both official builds from Google and Custom ROMS from our talented developers here on XDA - have bugs. Just a fact of digital life!
If you want the most stable build available, you're probably best served by Google's official releases. Scroll down for the different GNex versions/links.
If you want Lollipop, check out the Android Development board. Plenty of great developers and ROMs to chose from there. I have a 5.1 ROM linked in my signature below, as well.

thanks for the answer. i will try this 5.1 rom. Some roms have little bugs, and others like lollipop roms make the device not good for daily driver, like the camera not saving pictures, green lines on video etc. i will try some roms and leave the most stable on his device, but i think i will flash 4.1.2 in the end.

I've tested out many of the newest ROM'S and I'm still not impressed with the overall functionality of them when compared to the 4.1.2 PA ROM I've been running for over 2.5 yrs now.

Man this device was a pain for me today. after wiping to install 4.1.2 the device disconnected. and the usb connector i think is faulty. i had to flash every bit of rom in fastboot and a lot of errors. so i installed 4.0 rom because system.img was smaller and took a lot of time to copy the 300mb file and finally the device booted. i ota to 4.1.1 and i think i will ota manually to 4.1.2 because on device already appeared 4.2.2 ota. do you think is worth update all the way to 4.3? the device is smooth and i like the camera app better than 4.2 rom with that awful lag to rotate. do you think is better have an updated device or keep it in 4.1.2?
AOSP Lollipop 5.1- a wee better than stock is the best lollipop I could find yet. It is near-stock Android, and the overall performance is very good comparing it to the age of this device. The only bad thing I can say about this device isbthat the battery is draining faster(it might be an issue with my phone). If you are brave enough(such brave, much wow), you can try to overclock to 1.5 and the performance will improve by a lot

Hello,
my G3 is running AndroidNow 14.0 - I love this ROM , but probably that was the last eversion. Now I look for another - I try different , they are nice + good kernels, but most of them are based on CM 12 and I have some troubles.
1 - THey don't have task manager. That's fine but task manager widget perfectly fit my home screen on older ROM.
2 - I can't change the font. I'm used to Pure white and it's strange to see my apps using other.
3 - The lack of notifications for apps like Facebook, Messenger, Missed calls.
If someone know for newer Android Now release or to help me to fix some of that problems with new roms , I'll be more than grateful. Thank you!
(debloated) KITKAT STOCK ROM plust STOCK KERNEL is the best combination for me so far (in term of battery and SOT), give me around 30-45 more SOT (compare to xtralite ROM)
I don't know why but I'm sick of all CM12 roms. If someone can suggest me rom not based on CM12 it would be great.
If you like stock based roms go for cloudy 2.5.

I was using CM 13 which has so many bugs..
Suggest me a stable ROM that has no Ram Leak Issue and provides good battery backup
First of all, this list is poor. Second, there's no use I or someone else vote or say a ROM is better than another because it varies from user to user.
Use the ROMs for at least 1 day and draw your own conclusions.
But if you want to my humble opinion.
Because of the rich resources I would be between RR, CARBOM and BLISSPOP.
Prism Barebone. Stable as gold.
If you're not satisfied with custom roms because of their "instability" (as they are all based on CM/AOSP, which are young on this device, but i'm much satisfied with CM13 nightly 01012016 & nano gapps) :
As with a lot of android smartphones: Stock with root, xposed, greenify, amplify, powernap...
Alternativelly, is CM12.1 more stable than CM13?

It's been developed for a longer period of time. That would most likely be the case.
Hey guys,
new OP3 owner here - coming from a Galaxy S2 running 6.0.1 and I have to say I just love the idea of 'unofficial' developers and they're doing SUCH a great job!
I just unpacked my device after the OP3T reveal and finding the upgrade isn't worth the money for me and now I have a few questions:
on my S2 I had not exactly the biggest variety of ROMs to choose from so I haven't had this problem before: I have no idea where the basic differences are between CM14.1, Freedom OS 1.10.0, AICP 7.1 and CypherOS 7.1
I know switching ROMs for a few days would be the safest way to say which suits me the best, but I'd like to have some info beforehand - the threads for those ROMs do list the features, but I honestly can't really see the difference most of the time.
So, if anyone here with quite some experience could say 1 "unique selling point"/special feature or what the ROM is known for in one sentence each, I'd be overly grateful
And another question: is there any ROM supportin OTA updates so one has not to flash the whole ROM again to get the next version of said ROM?
Thanks in advance for any advice incoming
Gwiel
CM14.1 - cyanogenmod itself
Freedom OS - based on stock oxygenos with additional mods
AICP 7.1 - based on CM14.1 with more features added
CypherOS 7.1 - based on AOSP with extra features
If you want to know the special features of those roms, go to their threads.
And I don't think incremental OTAs are supported.

Freedom OS and OOS is also based on AOSP, just to clarify

I would say AICP if you want just some extra features and OTA, in terms of updating I think AICP is the best. Although I never flashed CM so i don't know about OTA on CM.
Hydrogen, Oxygen, FreeDom. Official or CB, CE, best. You only dislike them if you are a CM fun.
Does anyone know a custom rom that is simpler than the rom stock ( the customs roms are so polluted with functionalities ...) ? No features, just the basics. Which comes with the minimum of application?
My factory rom does not work the Data Usage. And now this is appearing a folder of the terrible Baidu!
I did not want to use Chinese roms ...

try JDC AOSP it is pretty stockish ROM with substratum theme engine
This looks good. I'll try her. Thank you.
Jaguar is pretty pure in terms of functionalities...
You can try lineage 14.1 which is very close to stock.
