Since I am using marshmallow i notice that there is a battery drain and low performance, so i decide that why not use Kitkat rom after using it i am still amazed.
What's your suggestion ?
Do you know about multirom? It can help you have mm and kk just about a reboots distance.but it does require rooting and custom recovery(which I'm guessing you already have)
As for kk vs mm, i haven't tried sense based mm roms but with most of aosp based mm roms that i have tried devlop some quirk sooner or later .it does not break the daily use of the phone just an irritant.i only use mm because of doze. Because it really helps standby battery use . And with my sprint m8 , i can run mm roms with lp firmware , so its like best of both worlds.if you can live with an old ui then kitkat is still very relavant(as far as i know no major app is unusable on kitkat)

Thanks for your post,but can u tell me your rom that u using because i am having Harman/Kardon Edition.
A couple which suited me best
Turbo rom (had signal loss,dont know if it actually was signal problem or rom failed to correctly :nterpret signal strength,because other roms didnt)
Vanir aosp (still using)
CrDroid
cyanogenmod 13
Dirty unicorns
Resurruction remix( failed to get it to work properly ,got a lot of fc,but that was a 2months before)
Bliss pop - got slow after a while
Edit: oh and as for kitkat,haven't tried anything other than offical cm 11 and sense 6 official rom,both were rock solid without any issue
One more thing ,if you are big on audio,and is a fan of neutron music player,you can forget it on mm,audio quality degrades faster than a politician's character after election and other music players too can't match sense rons for audio quality but with neutron, difference is very high
would u prefer performance or design?
I will prefer customization mostly,performance at the expense of quality or stability or lack of customization is unwelcome in my phone
KK is almost 2 years old. Are you purposely omitting Lollipop, or just forgetting it exists (since you know, there is an "L" between K and M)?
KK is missing a huge number or security fixes. Being on an Android version that old is a terrible idea from a security perspective.
stock gpe mm or sense 6 with kitkat?
rooted can be optional

Ok, so I got a G3 (UK SIM-free). Comes with KK 4.4.2. I've Rooted, installed recovery (with modem/EFS support and backed up everything) and customised with Xposed modules. New lollipop ROM has been released but I'm not sure I can do the things I need or want to do with Xposed on KK with the Lollipop custom ROMs currently available, like Gravitybox's expanded desktop options to remove dock or DS battery saver's tasty battery life gains..
Trouble is most of the custom ROMs that look good Android Now or Chupa Chups etc. only list Lollipop ROMs now and I can't find the last KK versions of these custom ROMs for download.
So what do I do? Do I stick with my customised 4.4.2? Do I go for a custom Lollipop ROM and risk losing the look and feel I like? Does any one know where a list of the last (most stable?) 4.4.4 KK versions of the good custom ROMs would be?
KK + Xposed for the win. Don't look back.
LP is not impressive enough for me to give up my Xposed. Running 45-50 modules (yes, 45-50) I refuse to give up my Xposed.

There aren't actually any good custom 4.4.x roms for G3. They all were prematurely terminated bc of 5.0 release.
Well, most Xposed modifications aren't doable without it. Try to live without it for a week, see what it's like.

SlimKat is pretty much as good as KK is going to get for these phones. Not supported or updated anymore, but the best all-around ROM for the G3's wanting 4.4.x
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe CM 11 is still supported / updated via nightlies (even if fewer and farther between updates now with CM 12 up and running)? Unless things have changed in the past couple of weeks...

It is, but AFAIK there are no official builds for G3, so you'll have to compile it yourself. Plus, the device layer (HAL, etc) is incomplete, so there will be bugs.

Really? How good can the Lollipop ROMs be then? They really are immature.
I really need Xposed, don't like the dock, at all. Use PIE via LMT.

Sorry, I probably should have said I am only considering modified stock custom ROMs. I didn't buy a phone with such a good camera to lose the majority of the function.

I never said that lolipop roms are good, i said that all G3 rom makers forgot about 4.4 and moved on to buggy future. Current 5.0 roms suck, they drain battery twice as fast, they lag, they have inferior memory management, etc...
We have to wait for good stock-based customs. At least until 20L and apktool 2.0 RC4 release. After that, we will have a good base and will be able to decompile and recompile any LG apk, which would allow for some serious mods.
Exposed until L is ironed out. The G3 camera is excellent. Xcam for me.
Don't leave home without it.
Long story short, custom ROM'S never be good as official ESPECIALLY for LG G3, you just need to understand that, for some people it's ok but for some don't. All you need is a root and MAYBE a custom kernel. PEACE.
I found lollipop is faster especially with chrome, yes, I gave up xposed but worth it
Sorry, I have been pretty dumb. So LG went from 4.4.2 to 5.0 with the G3 and there are no customised stock 4.4.4 ROMs? That being the case, I might as well stay on 4.4.2, get to debloating and sort out the annoying boot animation and sound.
Any prefered/recommended method for debloating? Anything else I should look into doing to my stock 4.4.2 ROM?
Hello, i need an advice from you guys.
i've been looking for 5.1 (not sense) builds for the m8, but cant decide which one is better for me or maybe just better overall.
On the other phones i had i used CyanogenMod, now im running SkyDragon Sense 7.0, but i dont like sense, the best thing of that rom is the harman/kardon mod, but the problem is that i get some FC and sometimes it get really really slow.
What ROM i can use that is stable for a daily use and have enough features like the GPE versions?
CM12.1? CyanideL? Team UB ROM? SkyDragon 5.1 GPE? dont know what others 5.1 ROMs are here
so i was using stock kitkat rom for almost a year now. yes i havent updated to lollipop cause i was rooted.
and now im planning to install a custom rom, because stock rom are not as smooth as they were as they first were.
and im looking for a change, lollipop roms preferably.
so which roms suits me the most, cloudy or cyanidel rom? the important thing of course is battery life and performance.
thank you!
Cloudy all the way may have to do a few tweaks to get to your liking on top of xcam for replacent for stock app i flash all kinds of roms and crap and always come back to cloudy xposed works pretty good there are a few modules i have probs with but no major deal breakers
---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------
My opinion of coarse i like almost all the roms out for g3 multi varients all of them have there own special quirks i like
Cloudy is based on stock so you have all the advantages of the stock rom like:
-Camera driver
-Good battery life
-Stability
And for cyanide, its based on cyanogenmod, the adventages are:
-Smooth like butter
-Features
The choice is up to you depending of what you really want. Personally I'd go with a stock based rom because of the camera driver and the stability, I add xposed and I can have a lot of features.
But you can try one, do a nandroid backup, try the other and go back if you don't like it!
okay i think im gonna go for cloudy since i actually prefer stock feelings too.
one more question, can cloudy use lgg3tweakbox, Xinsta, Xstana using xposed without no problem?
some people says lg g3 on lollipop cant use some modules for e.g lgg3tweakbox
I use grav box tweekbox major one that dont work for me is advanced power menu
When u setup cloudy make sure u click in aroma installer to use exposed also you havento manually install the framework after u flash framwork zip youll thing u bootlooped but first boot after exposed takes a couple on min

I tried the following roms for the LG G3:
crDROID (AOSP Based Rom - Android 5.1.1)
Cloudy3G 2.5 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)
Fulmics 1.6 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)
My opinion:
crDroid : It was the smoothest rom I've tried until now but the I was disappointed by the battery life. The camera app is not the same as the stock rom camera app so the pictures quality is inferior.
Cloudy3G 2.5 : It was laggy for me, and it has a few bugs like the UI crashing when the phone is charging. The GPS has bugs as well. Cloudy is not being developed anymore.
Fulmics 1.6 : For now is the best stock based rom I've tried. It's smooth and it's always based on the latest updated stock rom from LG. Even better, the updates are via OTA so it's faster to update to the latest version of this custom rom.
Been really enjoying cloudy and I am super picky. I think you will be impressed, the developer did a really good job. Its working better than stock for me and feels quick no lag here.

For me, Fulmics ROM is better than Cloudy. Its much smoothier and I had gps problems on Cloudy.
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
so cloudy has gps problems? i used gps a lot that could be a problem for me.
i never check fulmics before.
what about cyanidel? no one mentions cyanidel?
so i switc hed to fulmics 2.0 just updated 2.1 and i love it smoother than cloudy and about the same battery life

I think it's because not a lot of people right now has been using cyanide (no updates since forever) and rr and bliss pop has taken the cm based limelight
Cloudy is okay but have some issues that will make you wanna flash another rom
Fulmics is much better but personally i've been losing data connectivity every once in a while.
Maybe try old timers like Lion, Chup Chups or Spartaxxx if you want stock
Or you can always try the cm based ones... like cyanide
Hey, I just started this thread to give an idea about how I've been thinking these days and how I can see that this phone isn't an old phone anymore...
LG G3 is a popular phone ... well that means developement on our G3 is huge, we have a plenty of custom ROMs out there waiting for you, stock or AOSP one and from kitkat to android N the latest version of android, well we may be confused about what is the best choice for us ( battery life, performance, beauty ....), well I've been thinking : I am a man who really love AOSP ROM for it's design, but camera is really bad on it (comparing to stock ROM), on Stock ROMs I can't install or get other android updates (since it is stopped for our G3 )
well I have an idea : I can install them both using MultiROM and I am using Fulmics 6.6 as primary with cm13 and miui 8 and I am testing cm14.1 (unofficial)
so guys what do you think about the best combination that you can get using MultiROM or Dualboot app ?
reserved
I bought this phone and it's really great, I have nothing to complain about it....it's really too perfect
but....I was used to flash all the day, try stuff ecc....things are getting boring, my addiction is healing
I'm a stock guy because I feel stock rom+kernel performance more reliable and consistent, but maybe your experience could inspire me, and maybe others to try different things
Show your stuff!!
Thank you
For AOSP, best setup worked for me was ResurrectionRemix + mini gapps + tabp0le kernel coming with the rom, however in the last builds i got some performance issues are reverted back to sense based ROM. many people say Dirty Unicorns + Nebula kernel is a killer setup. but i didn't really like it because it didn't have pixel launcher and i don't know how to setup it tbh.
the best sense based ROM setup for me is Stock ROM + ElementalX + PnP mod by ivicask on balanced. i am using LeeDroid now + Stock kernel and sometimes i experience some lag not sure why but after a reboot it works perfectly. will try it with custom kernel.
trying ROMs on HTC 10 is good because most if not all of them work perfectly with phone and all of the issues you may face can be solved. just try many roms and see what's perfect for you.
here a sheet i made with all custom roms available for the 10
here
ICE and Leedroid to me feel more stable than stock ROMs on other phones. The 10 is extremely stable
Viper10
It's the most popular HTC ROM on XDA for a reason.
You can stay as close to stock as you want, tons of customization options if you want that instead, timely updates, and a strong community on the thread to help with any issues you may have.

Leedroid and ICE do not use stock kernel, they're including cleanSlate kernel with their builds (I think for mod reasons), so performance/stability issues should not be ROM faults IMO....Thank you anyway, I was thinking about trying ICE, it was my daily driver on M8, I'm just not sure about the kernel

yes.....viper10.....you know, I always had this feeling.....the more mods you include, more the rom will be potentially unstable....and viper has damn tons of mods
The curious thing about viper ROM is that everytime I try it, it's damn smooth. don't know why. but again, it doesn't feel stable....I will try it anyway
thank you anyone
I use lineage os, I like frequent updates, I like the fact that's it's a WIP. It is good and gets better by the week. I like that is very up to date.

the lag i get is in notification panel and i am pretty sure it's not a kernel thing because other than that the ROM is so smooth with 5hours SOT battery. i never tried ICE maybe i'll give it a try this week.
I use lineage, I only switched off stock because they were not releasing a security patch update every month, nor upgrading to the most recent version of android. I like keeping everything updated and its frustrating that you have to wait for them to do it rather than just getting it from google.
I used to be a flashing guy, the htc 10 maked me stop flashing by now, I gonna wait for U11 ports, I think stock rom is stable and wonderful.

Totally agree. Thankfully HTC 10 has massive support in terms of AOSP ROMS. I recommend you to try crDroid. It's so clean and simple with perfect performance and battery life
Resurrection remix with the custom kernel that comes with the ROM. I've tried mostly everything as my DD but I always come back to AOSP. I've tried lineage but it started to stutter.
Edit- I'm back on lineage and it's amazing.
