Choosing between ROMs for nexus 5x. Coming from OPO

I'm coming from the OPO and I've used CM13 and derivatives on that device, mainly because of the better battery life and other optimizations.
Do you guys recommend any good clean ROMs for the 5x? I'm looking at CM13 and OmniROM, are these roms stable and do they have a good battery life? Would the battery life be better than the stock rom?
Thanks a lot in advance

Then choose CM13 from jgcaap. Jgcaap also build CM13 for OPO.

I would recommend Pure Nexus/Krexus + franco kernel combo for Speed, Stability and Optimal number of features.
ON contrary, if you need features, Dirty Unicorns and Tesla have quite a large feature set.

Nothing can beat the stock ROM =)
Install xposed for extra features, completely stable now.

Opinions Rom/Kernals sofar.

Hi lads, Im getting my OP3 soon. Im wondering how your experience is with which rom/kernal.l so i can make my decision better. Thx!

Ask a dozen users and you'll get a dozen different answers, IMHO try stock for a week or so then see how you feel.

To me H2OS at the moment.

this is highly subjective question. it all depends on your personal preference.
1) best campera performance : stock
2) some extra features with decent camera: cm13 and other unofficial builds like of sultan.
3) lot of extra features: rr or dirty unicorn
4) nexus like stock: paranoid android, i personally love the floating mode on that rom.

I like features, but battery is the most important. Ill stay stock and see how it runs. Which kernal do your guys suggest for stock? Boefla or Elementalx?

Best rom doesn't exist, you better edit your thread and write, "opinions about roms" if you're lazy enough to read the ROM's threads to collect them

Im not lazy.. Features are almost all the same. In just gathering user experiences so i know how much a rom is developed and how it runs. Since that isnt stated in those OP's. But i agree my thread title isnt correct, thank your for mentioning that.

I recently bought an OP3. If the stock rom can bring out the best of camera, I'm really going to regret buying this.

True that. However, this thing is a beauty. Hope it lasts a while.

Camera sources are closed as they are for almost all devices
All development around camera it is focused on porting it to cm13 - 14
Most camera mods for other devices are mostly placebo, I haven't seen any important improvements regarding the quality on a device so far, what stock brings it's legit

*Kernel, not kernal (sounds like drunkass)

try stock OxygenOS for at least a week, then try Snapshot Build of CyanogenMod 13 with ElementalX Kernel and OxygenOS Camera Port and see if it works well for you ...

Best stable ROM

I don't have time to test every single rom so I want to ask the people on here what they think is the most stable rom. I don't really care about features I just wanna know which one has the best battery life, less bugs etc.

Yes stock was ok but I am asking for the custom ROMs

I settled on SAOSP after many weeks of testing many different ROMs. Seems best to me, combined with EX kernel

ABC-Rom, no bugs, stock feeling:

based on my experience, DU, LOS, and AOSPA.

paranoidandroid ROM is awesome!

PureNexus or PixelROM

You could also look at Carbon Rom or Tesla (other GZR Roms are available ) or AospExtended or Slim
Then you have the Lineage based ones such as crDroid
I prefer the ones which are true to the Nexus look rather than Pixel Wannabes. But that's the beauty of the old Nexus phones that it very much whatever floats your boat.

@tactical bacon: that's, why 'best rom'-threads are unwanted here. Finally you get a complete list of all settled ROM.
Features and base are given in each OP. Battery-life depends on your usage.

PureNexus. Great team, solid ROM, nice features, quick updates, and very helpful thread.

Most stable fully functional ROM?

I've been out of the XDA/Android world for a while. But I remember that 80+% of the roms had nasty bugs, esp. w the camera, calling, etc. pretty basic usability stuff.
Which are the best roms when it comes to stock bugfree performance? Is dirty unicorns the way to go?
I don't really mind ZUI, but I need to be able to solve the heat issue, unacceptable. I am not so much into trying every single rom out there, I just want to have food experience w my new AWESOME phone

AICP is the one
AICP is the best rom out there which is stable for lenovo z2 plus. It has tons of customization and good battery life.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/development/rom-aicp-12-1-nougat-z2plus-t3590357
This ROM is worth rooting.

Try ViperOS ...trust me you won't regret it...it is bugless... also if you are not satisfied with the camera quality then you can flash snapit camera
I always flash snapit after installing any custom rom

Thank you for the recommendations, I will check them out first thing after I root my zuk

ViperOs 2.1 last version a very good rom and good battery life

Check out AEX too. Been using it for more than a month now. Solid. Of course, I don't play video games. So YMMV

Recommend to me a good Oreo rom

Hey guys
I previously owned a Redmi Note 3 and flashed so many roms on that phone.
Now i just got a Redmi Note 5 Pro. Unlocked it. But currently I am very busy with assignments and don't have a lot of time.
So i can't keep flashing rom every few days.
Please recommend me a good Oreo rom. It should ideally not lag and have no random reboots. Basically I just want to flash and forget for a few months until Pie roms get very stable.
Thanks to all for their help.

Go for RR it's best so far in my opinion. Good bb ,no lags,no encryption ghost and of course edge gestures work really smooth on this rom.

Lineage OS 15.1 will be the best choice. Most stable & best battery life & no lag at all. Always go for lineage os official rom over others.

Bro listen! Lineage os is most widely used custom rom in the world. Your device has official lineage os 15.1. So you should flash it & see if you're happy with it. Only customizations not present in los. After that you can try any other rom you want.

"Bro listen" - This does not sound like suggestion, rather like a command. What is good for you does not really mean that it will be for someone else. For example, on devices I have used, RN5 included, pure AOSP roms performed better than Cyanogenmod/LineageOS ones. They have been smoother and better in battery life.
Just because something is official it doesn't translate to a better than everything else, MIUI is an official rom from Xiaomi yet some releases were a bug fest.
I've tried LOS/RR and than jumped to AOSiP Oreo, that's close to pure AOSP but with additional useful features and it has been more stable, smoother and more battery friendly than LOS/RR and overall performance was consistent. In combination with Insigniux/Derp kernel it's great.
I've seen reports of MSM as great one as well, so that can be considered as well.
Anyway you'll have to try different rom and kernel combinations to see what works for you.

Exactly.
Although I can understand why some newer members are just dazzled by the "official" tag especially in context of LOS.
I especially dislike LOS because of lack of so many useful features. Why should I need to use xposed and 10 modules to get those features when I have root and recovery and I can simply flash a feature rich aosp rom.

Ok. I apologise if i gave someone wrong suggestion. But i was telling from my experience as for me los official always works great with no single bug till now. What i've seen is people sometimes complain a lot about problems in other new roms. So i was saying in that way. Thanks for your suggestion. I'll flash aosip with derp kernel.
One question tho. I want an oreo rom with battery life similar to miui 9.6. can you suggest me that rom? Miui 9.6 is giving me 12 hrs & 13 minutes of screen on time. Thanks in advance.

No need to apologise to me, since your post wasn't directed to me. You didn't suggest anything wrong, but the way you suggested it was a bit wrong. Anyway, AOSiP is a clean rom with good features and a default Derp kernel is great for battery life, I have had up to 14h of SOT (that depends on usage of course) but as far as I remember it was never below 10h.

Neither one, it has Snap cam as default. You can additionally use whichever you want.
