Hello!
The only Custom Rom I've tried is AICP and I really liked it, but since the project is dead (and I can't bare anymore the Chrome resizing bug). What is the best ROM you've tried by now? Considering the different aspects of them (stability, customization, whatever).
Also, any tips to don't lose my data between flashes? I'm too lazy to back up everything and I always keep forgeting something important.
I really want to switch now but not without some opinions first!
Thank you in advance

BeanStalk is and always will be my favorite rom because of all of the customization features and the weekly updates are sweet as well. I can almost guarantee you will like it. Here's a link to the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/rom-kernel-beanstalk-6-07-t3313835
Now I use Dirty Unicorns - many features, customization. Cyanogenmod - official, stable. I like BrokenOS and AOSP-CAF but their apps are very old.
I like Resurrection Remix Rom. It is stable and fast. Amazing customization and so many features.

Hello
Please i don't interstand yet the real differences between the Custum Rom Cm, PA, Slim, Carbon
I want to instal only one for long times and want to know which is the best
I heard that CM is the must but what about the others
Thank's
right now, none are stable, so better wait. btw, all these custom roms are almost same: tweaked, deodexed, extra features missing in stock android and theme support

I agree. Also, right now I believe they are all running barebone features. CM is working on becoming more stable and the others will probably put off their implementation of features until CM is stable (a lot of them use CM as their base). I know for sure Paranoid Android for the Zenfone lacks all defining features of PA (aside from App Ops, which is Privacy Guard in CM). So far, I'm running CM until other ROMs beef up their features (I'll probably switch to Paranoid Android when it gets peek, hover, etc.)
I am "new" here, so for start warm Hello to everyone In fact I registered here 4 years ago but I used to be only reader until now.
I have a LG G3 d855, and after using CM on Desire Z many years ago and after Nexus 4 I knew from the begining that I want only AOSP based ROM. So I rooted phone, installed TWRP then Lolli-based Xenon HD and now - Euphoria. The latter one seems to be very slightly slower than former one, but more stable. But one thing came to my mind and I am not sure. What is your experience with various AOSP based ROMs? Is it worth to try another one than these two mentioned here? Perhaps I should go with pure CM 12.1, which above ROMs are based on? Just which of AOSP ROMs is the most stable and fast for you? Are there any really pure AOSP 5.1.1. ROMs in "stable" version for G3? I couldn't find one... Any suggestions are welcome.
Xenon HD is AOSP based and i use it ATM. It's stable for me and i use experimental build. I also tried Slim Minux build, wich is also AOSP based but it was kinda slower for me. Euphoria OS is CM based i think. And you do have a pure AOSP rom in android dev section, just look a little harder next time. And, as always, Google is your friend.
F-AOSP suits my taste. Absolutely smooth and battery friendly (stock aosp kernel). But there aren't many features like CM for this is based on pure AOSP. Note that this rom is very stable and proximity works very well.
CM based are cool and packed with features, but I found our AOSP versions tend to be a little smoother, eve if you have to exchange some features for performance. F-AOSP is leading in performance for me, but since I take a lot of pictures... well... you can guess. :|

I had a small problem with double screen tap wakeup with Xenon, so I gave Euphoria a shot I thought Xenon was somewhat CM based too?

Thanks, I saw it in ROMs section, but it is in "testing" stage for now, perhaps I should start testing it too

F-AOSP is in "testing" stage as I could see, but it is great to hear from you that it is very stable Thanks, I'll give it a try. Usually I don't need to many gimmicks in OS, Android i its pure form is very mature and usable now.

Whenever I plan to take good photos, I take my "serious" camera with me, so using somewhat limited Google Camera app is not a problem for me. And another voice for F-AOSP, thanks!
Definetly, F-AOSP deserves a handful of votes. It's vanilla AOSP, very stable and the animations don't lag like CM Roms do.
Yup I'm using the F-AOSP by kjjjnob. Stable and would definitely recommend to other users.
Any one knows when updating the custom rom, do you have to wipe everything again or just clear cache ?
What is the proper procedure to update ?
I do not want to reinstall all my apps again

If you REALLY do not want your apps to dissapear, try flashing a custom rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache only. If you are coming from Stock and want to migrate ti AOSP, pretty sure you need to wipe data and not just the cache. Keep in mind that clearing the cache only will cause problems like FC or overheating. I suggest you use Titanium Backup.

Thanks for the advice!
I've tried to update the custom rom and only wiping cache and dalvik cache but android errors are popping up.
Perhaps I'll try backing up my apps first before wiping everything else.
Thankfully I made a backup at recovery of my rom first.

After a first day with F-AOSP I can only confirm your experience! Very fast, reliable and stable. I just used Open Gapps instead of suggested packet. The only small glitch I've noticed were web and calendar applications not conforming to material design, but I guess it is common thing for AOSP and I easily have fixed it with appropriate apps from google play.

I'm guessing F-AOSP brings AOSP apps, so flashing a stock google package (from opengapp) would replace the aosp components with google ones

Yes, it seems so. Both browser and calendar are part of AOSP ROM, but I've installed mini version of GAPPS, so only calendar gets replaced when you install newer version from Google Play. Chrome from Google Play was installed besides AOSP browser. This is somewhat a plus for CM based ROMs, where at least browser has more modern, material UI.
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.
Dear All,
I'm looking for stable custom rom (if possible lollipop/marshmallow) for my e988 4g KitKat device, especially that can save battery usage. Do you guys have any refference?
There are so many custom rom but i'm difficult to find the plus and minus side of those rom.
Ive been looking to cm site, but unfortunately they are not available anymore
Thankyou
Look, most AOSP ROMs have same issues: camera crashes, bluetooth connection problems etc. etc. Everything else is pretty much same. People were mostly using SlimLP and Carbon, some used Bliss but I think there is no download link for it. Slim and Carbon use a bit more customizable kernel (dave used my kernel for as long as he built Carbon, and SlimLP has just a bit newer version of it, with GPU issues fixed completely).
My choices were Slim and (later, after Slim stopped updating their Lollipop sources) PAC (built for personal needs, no uploads) so if you want AOSP, go with SlimLP or Carbon. Carbon was working nicely too, and last time I had Bliss installed was somewhere after Lollipop just started, so can't judge how last versions worked.
If any of this is not good enough, try any of these stock roms, if any still available. I can't recommend anything from there simply because I never wanted to use those - if stock was that good, I'd stay on it
P.S. This device never received Marshmallow updates due to insane amount of work someone had to provide. I had few attempts but never moved over some issues with modem. More in the forums...
Thank you for the explanation, i will look more for Carbon in Android Development threads.

Were there any MM kernels ever compiled that you know of? Could someone with enough time and work be able to successfully compile a working rom? A bit of a developing noob, but have two E980s and plenty of time on my hands.

Yes, mine I was probably only one who worked on Marshmallow, but sources are now long gone, drive I've kept my repo is dead and I haven't uploaded that anywhere.
I've been using Carbon KK for several months and it is very stable and smooth. I've never used MM so not sure how it compares, but it has all the features I need to keep using this phone every day.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know what is the best rom between Paranoid, lineageOS and OMNI?
Stock
Too open ended of a question. Unless one of them is missing a function you really need, or has (a) critical bug(s), they're all good in their own way.

for me smoothness is very important and in that case omni is the best choice for me.
btw if you can't choose just try them all and use them for a couple of days. when you have found the one you like just flash that and you are all done
Cheers.
Jim
Omni is the clear winner. It's smoother than stock. My opinion ofcourse.
I've tried Lineage, Paranoid Android, etc... Nothing beats Omni. And the support is also great.
Carbon is only in testing, and GPS is broken (should be fixed soon) but I think you should give it a try
