It's been 2 months since I've bought the Lenovo P2, and I love it. It's any amazing phone. It runs marshmallow and it's very stable and I have no problems. But I've learnt that Nougat has multitasking, which is something I really want. I've seen that the nougat update hasn't been the most stable when it first rolled out. Is it stable now or should I stick with MM?
You're implying here that they made changes after they rolled the N update. Which they didn't. And will never do. N is the same since its release. On the other hand, I don't see where should it be not so stable ? It was very stable since the beginning of it.
I agree been stable ever since i installed and they havent updated anything.
It has it's share of bugs but compared to the marshmallow build it is way better.
For me, nougat is rock stable. No issues so far.
I'm using Nougat on my P2 since day 1. Rock Stable, not a single problem. (did a factory reset after upgrade)
As above. Nougat is rock solid. Used it since I bought my phone.
It's my daily phone and never experience any crashes, app freezes etc.
Yes it still has a couple of bugs but they don't get in the way of daily use.
I also did a factory reset when I installed nougat as my VOLTE wasn't working but after a reset it is working fine.

Hello,
My GF's S4 Mini is 2 years old, not a single hard reset, with unrooted stock ROM.
She is happy with performance and with phone in general but battery is bust, it barely holds for 10 hours with light to medium use.
She uses her phone for WhatsApp, Messenger and occasionally taking some photos.
I am not sure though which version does she have. I can find out that later today but meanwhile I would be grateful for your advice.
It doesn't have to be the newest ROM version, it has to be reliable, with good battery and preferably with stock camera app.
Thank you!
There is no perfect rom. Keep the rom she is using. Change the battery , after 2 years is busted as u said
It could also be old problem that battery was draining fast even with 3g/wifi/gps OFF. That`s a motherboard problem that can be fixed by changing motherboard or with a custom kernel that have the fix implemented. Stupid thing is, after u install a custom kernel, u need to root phone and disable Knox apps or they will bother u. Search what version of S4 mini she have, what rom she have and start from there to search. I have for example some kernels with fixes for that problem, but first read on forums.
The above being said and valid...
... I find that this ROM: Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-20151026-serranodsdd
works pretty well for me. It is stable enough. You would have to root and stuff but its worth a try.

+1. RR LP 5.5.8 is very stable and battery friendly and also Blisspop 4.0.3 last two versions are good enough. BUT, in these 2 fantastic roms i have found a major bug (at least for me) that during incoming calls most of the times my contacts dont show up their names (only numbers) or sometimes very lately. I asked the devs about the problem but did not get any reply. So m back now to PAC rom KK 4.4.4, i used it for around 4 months continuously before i tried lollipop roms. Stable, good battery(05/01/2015 version) and hell lot of features.
N.B: The above is based on my experience only. It may very from person to person. And also it does not imply that other roms are worse or better, because i have not tried all of them.
What I have observed is temperature and the kernel have big impacts on battery drain. Stock 4.4. drains the battery much slower than 4.2., and the Cyanogenmod kernels also use up less juice than the stock roms.
the same
I have same issue. 2 or more years i9195 with stock 4.4.2 android. Battery drain is about 1%/hour at idle (sleep). When using it raises to 2-5%/hour. I want any other ROM or kernel that drains less battery. Please help
My phone has almost two years. Battery remains excellent. No tricks, such as calibration, etc.
In my experience the best ROM Stock based is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/gt-i9192-galaxy-s4-mini-duos-4-4-2-t2832673 .
I never installed another kernel, etc. in its use. I tried several ROMS CM based but always came back to this rom for stability, reliability, battery.
But lately I have been interested in Android M.
And I was already giving up again when I decided to use CM13 (feb / 21) by K2wl without GAPPS (Open GAPPS) or Custom Kernel.
My intention is to test CM13 in its purest possible code.
So far it has been amazing. No call issues, great battery (as in SilviuMik ROM). etc
I'm curious. Will this time be able to use a ROM CM based for more than two weeks without problems with Call and battery? If this happens it will be worth testing other GAPPS.

ADR USR, your suggested ROM Stock is for i9192. Will it work with i9195?

I do not think so. But this is not a problem. Just try the kernel to 95:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592308
I believe that all you need. I never got to use debloated version of this ROM. I'd rather do it manually.

I used the official CM12.1 nightlies (& kernal) for about a year on my I9195, in the first few months I did get almost weekly random restarts, as you might expect on a nightly, but towards year end almost none. Then I installed the last Snapshot YOG9 (or whatever) and didn't get a single reboot in months.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-s4-mini-t3100159
Currently I'm on an unofficial version of same CM12.1 that has latest monthly security updates patched (which will be built until a stable release of CM13 is out) as the official CM12.1 development has stopped due to CM13. I've not had a single crash or reboot on this CM12.1 ROM, so that's about 6mths with no problems all together.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightly-t3300836
My wife is on CM12.1 (NightOwl) too on her old Note N7000, she has not had a single problem in the 2mths since I installed it. So long story short I'd say almost any version of CM12.1 is now very stable (provided you clear caches etc when installing and don't load dodgy apps )
CM13 version not suggested yet?
The best choice is the updated CM12.1?

I have been using cm13 nightlies ever since it came out. Almost updated every new package. Since then i had to revert it twice. For me so far it's stable. Using it with gapps pico. But do nog use any extended cm13 roms like bliss or rr, as they are highly unstable, lagy and full of buggs.
Have a nice day to all. I have an i9192 (GT-I9192ZKAAFR, S4 mini DUOS) with the latest original I9192XXUBNB1 ROM and the CSC is I9192OJVBNB1 (AFR / Kenya / AE). I have to use this phone again and it is horrible. Often becomes hot and unresponsive. Sometimes just simply shutdown itself or reboot. That is why I moved to another phone but that is in service now. Otherwise this is an amazing little device. I decided that it is time to take steps towards to a more stable ROM. Phone has Knox and it is still 0x0. Manufactured in 2013 and bought in 2014 so support has definitely gone. Therefore I am not really keen on Knox status but would be great to keep 0x0.
I am a Hungarian user and I would like to use Hungarian language on the phone. I see some ROM recommendation here. Is that true for Hungarian language as well? What about different region, modem or so? Are these ROMs working on my device? Is it possible to revert my phone to any factory version? I am not familiar with flashing ROM on this phone but read some tutorials and more or less trained.
Hi,
I'm on Exodus (+ Gapps pico) & very happy by the quality of this rom. (I haven't tried many other roms though)
I have been trying different Marshmallow roms and they are all very unstable full of bugs.
The best I've gotten to a stable rom was Nameless 3.0 nameless-3.0-find7-20160321-NIGHTLY and flashing the chinese modem afterwards.
However with the new nightly of Nameless 3.0 the phone keeps randomly restarting and the signal comes and goes every few seconds. I tried everything, including a full wipe and going back to the previous stable version, but the problem is still here.
Any idea how to fix this? Do I have to flash color OS 1.2.x first?
Is there such a thing as a stable rom at this point?
All I want is a phone that works and it's been over a year that I've been going form Rom to Rom, and from bugs to bugs...
Please help
Cr droid 6.0
Yeah someone else said that, and I want to try it, but the official xda thread says that it's not yet suitable for chinese variants (x9077).
What do people recommend for updating to a custom rom for my HTC 10?

Can't really recommend any Nougat Roms at this time. Too many issues (at least on my device like the camera not working). Probably the top 2 Sense-based roms are Ledroid and Viper. You could try either of those. I can however highly recommend Viper10 V3.5.0. This is a flawless Marshmallow rom. I'm still on it and will be until the Nougat kinks are ironed out. Good luck. Happy flashing.

I don't recommand a Nougat Rom too, i've been taking a "quick" look at it and they are'nt really optimized.
On my HTC 10 (unlocked version) I'm actually on Ledroid's Rom.
Quick launch, smooth interface, very usefull multi task button and so beautiful notification's section.
BUT
My battery is like ice in summer, like i'm 4H SOT and was 5/6+H on marshmallow stock.
Can't connect on snapchat (I don't really care but you care maybe)
I have issues on the automatic luminosity which get super agressive and is buged (don't set up the luminosity while i'm in a dark room, broking my eyes...)
Sorry for my bad english, i'm French ! ^^'
Hope I helped you !
Thanks guys, ill have a play with ledroid and viper. Resurrection remix seems to have few problems aswell
@aceniz Venomrom or leedroid.. If it's aosp then I'd say RR.. But if for stability id stick with sense based.. Strip it of sense and htc apps then use the pixel or vanilla type launchers, this is what I do and it absolutely flies.
Thanks, Ive gone with Leedroid, everything seems to work on it so far. seems to be the most stable. just need to work out a few tweaks with it to get it working ok the way i want and itll be better than RR
Hi all,
Thinking of dipping my toe in the water with a custom rom. I'm still on stock H815v20L or something and whilst P is apparently being released I thought I'd check out the alternatives.. Unless P is out, rootable and stable?
Any recommendations for a custom Rom with Nougat 7.1+ pkease?
Any to avoid?
Cheers,
H

I think there is only 3 Nougat roms which are LinageOS/AOSP based which are being activily developed for LG g4. Resurrection Remix, Linage OS and Dirty Unicorns. I personaly use Resurrection Remix, more stable build for my taste for stable daily driver, DU probably also pretty stable but Linage OS releases are pretty much nightlys.
Only thing with these roms that camera performance is pretty bad to stock, doesnt matter what camera application you use. You can get pretty decent pictures with really good sun/day light and maybe small color editing but the noise and grain from like google camera is terrible in darker photos.
Nougat actually doesnt bring anything new for me, I personaly flashed RR and got theme engine on to get different settings menu cuz I hate the blue theme on lg stock.
If you got TWRP and unlocked bootloader , just flash and try
I use LineageOS on a daily use since mid May. I prefer not to update the ROM every week but every month.
So far, LOS is very stable. I change the camera for the Google Camera and works properly for now.
But as Diddymies says, flash and try

Please!
I would be keen to know this as well.. I don't really need latest Android, I don't use the tablet that much and all the apps I need are still compatible with the Stock Android Version
Having said that, I always like having the latest so I firstly installed the latest Lineage 16.0 with Pie and found the device to be too laggy.. It wasn't unusable but enough to be annoying.
So I tried Resurrection Remix and found the performance to be a lot better but still some small lag. I went back to Stock to compare and it was smooth like butter
I guess the small lag is to be expected installing a PIe ROM? If this is the case, I will stay with stock but still with TWRP and rooted with Magisk.
However, if anyone can advise that maybe another custom or original ROM with an earlier version of Android is still smooth like butter eg Oreo or Nougat then I would happily give them a try.
Cheers

My version is Lollipop
As far as I know Nougat, 14.1 is still the most stable.
Here is a link to 14.1: It was official but is now being periodically updated by JT1510365 in an unofficial release.....

I've been happiest with this one thus far: [ROM][9][Pie][Flo][Deb[UNOFFICIAL] AICP P 14.0
Pretty snappy, excellent battery life, standby lasts days, lots of extras, and SElinux can be set to enforcing without breaking anything serious (imo). I haven't had any crashes either, that's a plus.
Stock marshmallow + elemental x kernel works well for me.
I put validus on my lads nexus, it works really well, but I've recently discovered it does not allow install of unknown apps, so I am looking for something else on Oreo or above which is fast, stable, and has good battery life.
I will try the ones mentioned above and post an update.

It doesn't work, installing unknown apps is blocked by the validus developer, hence why I need a other rom, lol
