Currently I use MIUI (1.11.11), but it has a few bugs like WLAN is not reconnecting. The speed isn't that good, but MIUI looks better than most roms
I'm looking for a stable and fast ROM.
Perfect would be:
-Android 2.3 or higher
-NO big bugs
-720p recording enabled
-support for the bigger Defy+ battery
Any suggestions?
CM7 last stable?? Allredy stesting battery on it. No major bugs, stable and really fast, faster than MS2Gibger and stock 2.3.4. I had only one FC from yesterday when I installed it and it was Market when installed 62 apps at the same time.
Sent from Defy+ CM7 (7.1.0-11)
CM7 is fast and stable. But does it support HD video capture? I have installed MS2ginger2.1. Supports many languages. It is fast enough I think and supports HD video capture. Moreover, the battery life is amazing. There are some posts about it...
Looks like CM7 is gonna get installed. 720p is not that important (just nice to have).
Does it support the bigger battery or does it get stuck at 83%~ and won't charge anymore? MIUI (whis is based on CM) has this bug.
720p maybe gonna be supported in next CM7's and You need to patch battery support but didn't tried it yet. I'm using 1500 from old Defy cause I didn't format 1700 yet and still testing this build and it's still connected to pc.
Hey !
I'm also looking for a smooth & stable rom.
I don't need the last features.
Currently, I'm using CM-10-20131030-NIGHTLY. Which doesn't crash and so, but it's not smooth.
I didn't install any widget, and I got battery drains.
Any recommendation ?

Hi,
the OmniROM 4.4.2-20140202 is very smooth and stable.
Links are in the development thread.
Hi !
It's still under development it's it ? I'm a bit afraid of something that has not been tested and validated for a while.
I don't need the last version of Android. I just want something smooth and stable.
The last Android 4.4.2 (kitkat) is the fastest Android version for the Defy.
That's why I also recommend the OmniROM version and not the CM11 version. OmniROM runs with me stable and very fast for 1 month. If you want to take it try not the latest version take the 20140202 version.

Thanks for your suggestion.
As my phone (Nexus 5) will soon be back from repair, it didn't take the time to reinstall my phone.
But if I need to reinstall my defy, I will follow your advice.
CM7 not faster than CM11?
What about White Rabbit 1.7.1 or Maniac?

Been using this rom since yesterday, so far so good
UI seems a *little* bit laggy sometimes compared to the stock 2.3.6 GB rom, but so much more functionality in Omni.
What about battery life with Omni? Better than stock rom?

Highly recommend SlimKat, anny build you like. I'm running two defy+ on it, one on 3.85 build, other on latest 4,both very stable, didn't notice anny bug,no random reboots, no lag, memory & bat. friendly, amazing look... thanks to TJKV and all contributors on this GREAT ROM.:good: Just try it!
Im using slimkat too its really good except the camera doesnt work for me when i use it my phone reboots :/
I'm on SlimKat build 4.0 since release and it's a great rom. Battery life is reliable and it's fast and stable. The camera works fine (720p etc).
Theres only issue with reboot to recovery, which can be easly fixed by replacing one apk (click).
And sometimes battery percentage is stuck at 99-100% (click).
My settings: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52086816&postcount=19
There was a great 3.6 build which was almost bugfree for me (at least it didn't need any fixes).
so am i the only one with the camera problem on slimkat?
Have no issues with camera (did you set up Video Encoder to MPEG4?), just one or two reeboots in to recovery since i'm using SlimKat, but there is an easy fix like Stoku wrote. Yes, that little bug about battery percentage...
All in all - feel like my beloved Defy is reborn, fresh, fast, stable...feel like i have 3/4 of new phone:victory:
Again, thanks a lot to TJKV, thanks to all of you kind and good people for spending your time and sharing your knowledge with all of us! THANKS!:good:

After a while of using this (Omnirom), the only slightly annoying bug I encountered was that the camera would stop working (regardless using the stock camera app or another one), after having taken lots of photos.
A simple reboot and the camera would work again

So it's very like stock rom, my green lens defy always did that.
I'm now on CM11 and camera is (at least) as stable as stock, haven't had the camera stopped working..
Good to know.
I have a green lens too.
Now running the latest homemade Omnirom build (omni-4.4.2-20140518-mb526-HOMEMADE.zip) from Struq's google drive.
I shall see if the same bug occurs.

Downloading ROM, and will participate the vote after installation.
I have been running build 0.26 for 3 days now as my daily driver. This rom is very stable. I am very happy that everything on this rom that I use on a regular basis works very well. The utouch button works flawlessly for me, even with the navigation bar enabled. The configuration is perfect to my preference - tap (back), press (home), swipe left (recents), swipe right (menu). The finger print scanner works perfectly. I have not had any issues. I was surprised when I first flashed the rom that there was not a messaging app or brower installed, but I guess that is part of the Slim concept. I was able to install messages and google chrome from the play story and they are working great. The battery life is comparable to Lineage OS and Mokee rom on my phone with my configuration. I will say with the other roms I was running Greenify as well, but with Slim7 I decided to try the rom without Greenify, and I am getting about the same battery life. SOT for me is a little over 4.5 hours. Performance is pretty good with an antutu score of 140662. I also rooted the rom with Magisk v12 and I have no issues with root. This rom is very smooth and works great. There are not a lot of configuration options with this rom, but what is available works very well. If you are looking for a stable rom, that works very well without a lot of extra "fluff", then I highly recommend this rom for you to try. Kudos to the development team on this rom. Thank you for the great work!!

The rom is simply perfect, no bugs and stable for daily use... But the v0.26 is much better on battery than v0.27 (1.30/2h more on the same usage) and slightly higher performance (always at 0.26)

Not sure when you installed v0.27, but I noticed the same thing on day 1. On day 2 it seems to be better for me, much like v0.26 was. I have no complaints today with the battery life, but that is just me with my setup. Your mileage could definitely be different.

When will you make this official? Can't wait.
camera
can we get stock zuk z2 plus camera running on nougat in this rom ?
The requirements are simple – everything should just work fine. Requirements include games like Subway Surfers and such, browsing the web, YouTube and working camera. For me I am getting a Mi A1 or Redmi Note 5 Pro (I don’t like MIUI though but for the price I can compromise and it seems the best choice, there are no other options at that price, please suggest if you have other device in mind. Also in future I can Install ROMs on Note 5 Pro also, so yeah).
Below are my few ideas:
Stock ZUI EN 2.0.133 ST because it is more stable than Nougat variant. With ZUI I am planning on installing the Material Notification Shade app to fix the disappearing notifications icons issue but in my testing I found it to be using almost 50% of the battery, therefore I am scrapping ZUI idea. Also ZUI feels a bit cluttered too. If the notification shade app can be made to consume less battery then I will go with it though. I know ZUI with Oreo is around the corner but it's ZUI after all.
I am currently using AEX 5.2. It is quite stable but has good overnight battery drain, like ~15% sometimes. Yesterday I slept at 3 am with 82% and woke up with 68% battery at 10 am. Also there is the camera problem. I have been using the Modded GCAM and it is GREAT! Only problem is the videos, unusable slow motion and normal videos come dark and they are unusable as well. BUT for videos I use OnePlus’ camera app and it is good but I can’t see mom using camera without getting confused So I am ready to forgo the camera2api magic and install a non-frills camera.
So for Camera please suggest an all-rounder workable camera application that I can install in the system or as priv-app and also any suggestion for the battery drain.
I am looking at some other ROMs as well. I want to test some ROMs that just work. I have been hearing about ViperOS and H2OS for some time that they are great. I just need a ROM that will work, no bells and whistles needed. So please Suggest some ROMs.
If you have any other suggestion then please let me know.

I did use 4.6 way back and here is what i found if i recall:
In notification shade when you swipe the notification it stutters.
I don't remember about the heating issue though.
It was stuttery in general now that i remember, i had to flash Heliox Kernel for the heating issue and there was no improvement in the performance.
4.4 was quite good if i remember it correctly.
Anyways thanks i think i might revisit this ROM

I just flashed ViperOS with stock gapps. Too much heating and user interface stutter and lag.
I do not have any battery drain. 1 percent at nigth on airplane mode . Check ur apps.
8 h of sot on aex 5.2.
you can use deodexed zui 3.5 oreo oreo zui is far better than nougat zui
I have to say, just ask your mum about her preferences of what she likes to use out of the phone.
And install barebone AOSP-ish rom with adblock/popup block/youtube ad-block on it. Then get her apps installed and she'll be happy. No complexities whatsoever.
Our elders aren't picky as us , my mum is using an LG G3 and its been on fulmics rom from day one, and it works perfect for her because all she does is follow up daily news, youtube, browse some internet, watch some episodes and thats it.
Also a 5.5" or 6" screen is ideal for our elders because of good visiblity of text etc.

For stuttering issue, use HelioX kernel. You'll get the best performance+battery efficiency out of AEX 4.6.
If you want good camera, flash this camera oss.zip from here and use Pixel Camera mod by Arnova. Then you're good to go.

Adaway for adblock (it blocks adfly links too)
YouTube adblock is Xposed module.

I'm using the rom as it is, with its own kernel (it's heliox btw). The rest is up to you, I'm using gapps pico, magisk just to have root and remove ads with adaway and gcam mod
just use viper os 3.1.1 with heliox 10/15 ..
Nitrogen OS Would be the Best! But there isn't any solution to Dark Videos as yet. Still you can use Proshot or Footej Camera for the Job.
Hello ,
Actually my Mi5S is working great on MIUI 9.5 global stable ROM. Nevertheless, I don't really like MIUI design and I'd like to change to a Oreo (Stock) ROM like Lineage OS 15.1 or AOSP extended but I need some feedback about them (like Battery, bugs, Performance, Stability etc...) because feedback on topics aren't really complete. You also could share other Oreo ROM which are stable enough. Don't forget to specify which version of the ROM you have.
Thanks a lot and I hope this thread will help others!
Install RessurectionRemix ROM (or PixelExperience - slightly faster IMO) and you don't have to wory about nothing
AEX seems to work best with my phone. Faster than LOS and PixelExp, superior and consistent battery life (6h of SOT with ForceDoze installed) and no noteworthy bugs. Considering stablity and extra functions there are very few bad choices as most ROMs for this device are pretty good. Just be sure to install the right hardware-firmware and follow installation instructions carefully.
If you're moving from MIUI the battery is the thing that will probably will get worse results. Performance and features are better with the custom ROMs. Also installing a modded GCam (ported Pixel image processing for really good quality) is a must.
[sorry X2 post, didn't find how to delete it]
Okey guys thanks for your reply. Are you using a custom kernel ?
@Djeloan Pixel Experience seems to not be updated anymore... No more support ?
@8166uy I reckon I will install AEX if it's enough stable for daily use. By the way, you recommend to install a modded Cam. Is it because pre-installed cam on Custom ROM doesn't work as well as stock Cam on MIUI ?
I'm not a big fan of custom kernels as you don't profit THAT much with it, but does give extra problems every few weeks. And yes the modded camera is partly because the stock camera from the ROMs aren't all that good, but also because with it you can make it as good as modern flagships from the big western brands. So expect better sharpness, better dynamic range, better low-light performance and a properly working portrait background blurring effect.
For the best results take the GCam from B-S-G or Arnova for pictures (there are threads plenty about them here) and OpenCamera for videos (can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera).
Download link for all versions of the modded GCam are btw here if you feel adventurous. Some are more stable than others:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I use this one because of stability and device specific tweaks:
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...018.177470874.41362666__A7.0-8.1_MI5S_v2e.apk
Great ? thanks for sharing that ^^
I've heard that Arnova's GCam works significantly better on Oreo than BSG's.
For me the Arnova ones just keeps crashing with low light no matter which version I pick, so I would just try both and see which one fits best. I personally never had any problems with B-S-G builds on Oreo.
i avoid messing with kernal's unless its a hobby you enjoy. it can get time consuming later on

Hey,
I have a Poco F3, I unlocked the bootloader recently, and I want to know which ROM should I get or is the best for you. I tried xiaomi.eu, but I prefer AOSP/pixel (I tried some, but I can't make a choice). What is the best, I know for now there is crDroid, Pixel Experience Plus but unofficial, Pixel Extended, etc Should I wait for more stable, official or new custom ROMS ?
What are the pro/cons or features of each ?

Edit : anyone can share his opinion here and/or ask on this thread

Thanks in advance !
In terms of features you can't get more feature rich then crdroid. Most ROMs are rock stable and the one main missing feature dt2w is going to be coming in the next week or so. I'm currently using pixel extended and I've had no problem and am thoroughly enjoying it

Running Lineage on mine, with Quantic kernel, Micro-g, I am getting insane battery life, This phone has been an amazing upgrade for me after being on Mi6 for over 3 years.
for a beta Build, I have yet to run into a single issue, everything is running smoothly.
I have the feeling this phone will receive lots of love from developers and will have custom roms for years to come.
Edit: on my build I have finally fixed battery drain when, double tap, ambient pick-up, or AOD is enabled, it makes no difference, my phone dozes beautifully at night. How is it with other ROMs?
The key for me and everyone i think is the kernel, no matter what I changed with the original kernel that comes with lineage the phone gets no doze, only when I use Quantic + Lineage everything is 100%.

Did you flash the kernel only via TWRP or is it TWRP and fastboot dtbo?
Also, have you had issues surrounding running apps like Google Maps or Kodi? They install and boot up but crash seconds later.

I believe there is a telegram group, I don't have telegram or any other chat app so I rely on XDA. I am using my own Frankenstein build though, where I borrowed features from all roms but I use lineage as base.
