What's your daily driver?

For the past couple of months, I'm just Rom hopping from one to another. I can't figure out the one perfect Rom. And, I'm kind of tired, really. So, I want to stick with one Rom for now.Seriously guys, What's your daily driver? I really(desperately) want your opinion.

I did a lot of ROM hopping, too. After all, my favorites are (in that order):
1. LineageOS 14.1 by dianlujitao
2. Resurrection Remix 7.1.1 official by sud.vastav
3. Experience ROM v10.1 by jamal2367
Currently I (have to) run Experience ROM, since I cannot connect to 4G networks on CM/Lineage based ROMs for whatever reason (weird, because OOS based works fine, still would prefer to return to Lineage).
Hope that helps.
Cheers

My only issue with non stock roms is Camera. How's Camera quality on lineageOS? I've tried resurrection remix and camera quality was ok. Paranoid Android has a great camera, but, has some minor bugs (deal breaker for me)

Did LineageOS something new compared with CM in terms of stability and performance?

Since back in october when I bought this phone I`ve been tested like almost all roms (CM, RR, Paranoid, AOKP, Omni, etc) - like 90% of them and in the final I stayed up on FreedomOS 1.7 (3.2.8 OOS based) with ElementalX MM kernel and AKT scripts. I get as a daily basis at least 5 hrs sot (if I have enough time to use the phone that much ) or at least 24hrs with no charge, or more with almost 2 hrs calls, 2-3 hrs sot, sync on, mobile data on/wifi on and location on (battery saving). The main things that this to help is to be around my hometown since its mandatory that carrier signal to be good for that battery use. In a week-end went in a mountain zone with some friends and because phone had a bad signal (also had mobile data turned on) I got abt 17 hrs battery with like almost 2 hrs sot. I won`t move to Android N yet, because all that it brings, at least so far, isn`t that huge improvement compared with MM.
Another thing that kept me on stock was (and still is) the photo quality and the GPS performance since I`m using navigation alot(waze) when I`m driving around in my area.
Edit: I use the phone with both dual sims online btw.

Yeah, same here. All this roms are cool, but, camera quality is just not there yet. And that is a big deal breaker for me. I try every new rom in a hope that it would be comparable to oos (I know oneplus has tightly integrated their camera's with system that it is difficult to extract into apk, but, god it would be awesome)

apk ports aren`t the thing to get camera performance. It`s the kernel that makes that work. Else you`ll get only a more processed image, and processing images can`t be made to work in all taking pictures conditions.

Oh I see. So, if the Oneplus releases the kernel sources, why is the camera quality still an issue?

Stock OOS 4.0.2 with Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP and SuperSU, also running latest ElementalX Kernel, so far its a good combination, also unbloated the Stock OOS with a Script from the Community, battery life could be better but its okay.

freedomOS MM with ElementalX. I'd love to try over ROMs but for whatever reason all the ones I have tried don't let me use the hardware home button...

Experience rom since its oos based. Used freedom in MM but both roms are similar

After testing dozens of roms i finally decided to stick with Experience rom v10.1.
Combined with latest kernel r7 franco build wich provides zero idle battery drain and using akt fusion performance profile,i have best performance with zero lags and great battery times(6+sot).Definitely recomend for daily driver.The reason i stick with oos roms is for the camera wich i want to get every time the true potential

Open Beta 11 & so on, now with blu_spark.

FreedomOS since i got my phone, love the ROM. Kernel is bluspark

Interesting. I've to give a try to akt scripts now.

I also tried a lot of ROMS... OOS 4.0, LOS14.1, CM13... and the best one for me is:
sultan's CM13 with SuperSU, Xposed and ForceDoze
This is IMHO the smoothest and most bugfree ROM. I'm using it since 1 month now, and I'm always getting 7-8h SOT (Wifi, BT, 4G, GPS, auto-brightness, everything turned always on). On light usage battery lasts for 3 days with 5-6h SOT. I also never experienced random reboots like on OOS or other ROMs.
I really wished to use Nougat, but this ROM is just better than Nougat. Also thanks to Android N-Ify I'm not missing anything from Nougat.

latest Open Beta is my DD
no point in adding specific version numbers - major versions only IMO

Slim is super smooth and has insane battery life.

What about camera quality?

FreeDom stable, not ce-cb, it's my favorite. Experience, it's good too.

ROM recommendations

Hey,
I've been using this device for a month now. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied. I'm currently on Open Beta 14, with root, franco kernel and unlocked bootloader. However, I've noticed that I cannot pinpoint my location in Maps, and GPS doesn't seem to be the issue. The device fairly quickly locks down to the satellites according to GPS Status & Toolbox, but when I go to Maps, and click the little circle that's supposed to focus the map on my current location, nothing happens. I can't seem to figure what's the cause of this. I kinda have the feeling that I should go back to regular OTAs with possibly stock kernel/no root.
I wanted to ask, what ROM/Kernel/bootloader status/root are you using and why? Would you recommend it to me?

Pheonix AEX is by far the best rom..especially in battery life.
I get better battery than stock also is very smooth with lots of customixations +substratum

I'm using Sultan's unofficial LineageOS 14.1, with his amazing stock kernel, and no root. It is extremely stable, has great battery life (I'm getting 5-6 hours SOT, whereas on stock OOS I was getting around 4) and is really speedy.

This three are the best
1 Eliminaters RR
3 Sultans LOS 14
2 Phoenix AEX

Performance on VertexOS is top notch! It's a CAF based ROM with EAS. Battery life is also very good. Although, it doesn't havrany customization features... That's the only down side.

FreedomOS (CE),you can select most minimal ROM or some more customizations, just as you like it.
Everything is rock stable since its OOS based and paired with bluespark kernel i get around 7h SOT in everyday use.

VertexOS. It's simple like OOS.. Its receiving alot of updates also it had a really good integration of EAS and Voxpopuli the rom is simply perfect for me.. Its fast has decent battery life and simple and a dev that actually knows what he is doing and spends alot of time with the community. Incombination with Magisk it is all I need.

Slim

i always liked OOS but using Vertex converted me, great rom, the only thing you need to know is that it's as minimal as possible , that's the Dev preference, so apart from Substratum, which fully works on Vertex, it's as pure OSP as it gets, and i have Google phone latest version 9 fully working on it, battery is great specially if you played with the Voxpopuli thing , overall Solid Rom, no issues what s ever

suggest a stable Rom

Post it own opinion

so for the usual "this month's" question...i suggest freedom ce and experience os. tho each of them have their own quirk, but it's stable. maybe the issues's with me, but some custom rom really have some daily usage/stability problem like dialer app crashing or alarm not ringing while they list the rom as "bugs free". obviously i have not tried all the roms or done extensive performance testing on them, so this is just my opinion.

Please post your opinion thank you!
I personally don't use OOS since ages because of the terrible android system drain I got back then. Not sure how it is now but I basically fell in love with VertexOS. VertexOS has been the stablest rom I have tried. Even the Testbuilds on the Slack channel are really stable. The dev definitely knows what he is doing and is putting blood sweat and tears into optimizing the rom. if you are looking for a stable minimalistic rom, with great peformance and decent battery life Vertex is the way to go.

You can basically never go wrong with a Sultan rom

I sugest Sultans Nougat build(if you want theming through Substratum use Matssas builds, for me it was just as stable). Other then that AOSPA, although I sugest you wait for the next build since high idle drain is a known issue.
Both Sultan and AOSPA is known for high quality camera by custom rom standard.

Phoenix aex is the best right now. Best performance and battery life without any modifications

Go with ...Phoenix AOSP ?

Yep, Phoenix AES.

Sultanxda lineage OS is working perfectly.

Have tried RR, Phoenix, Freedom and a couple of more.. Loved all of them to be honest.. But felt experience lite was the best of them..
Yup.. Just a personal opinion..

try Paranoid Android, tons of features, great battery life and (ALMOST) bug free and stable, but keep in mind that OxygenOS or OxygenOS based roms have the most stability ...

Using freedom os + bluspark kernel + akt hawkpepper! Moderate use but too much of voice and duo calls! This combo is perfect one
And full day wifi on! Plus when not using wifi, 4G was on!

I've personally been using vertex for a few weeks now with a gapp prop tailored just to my liking for adding in just stuff I want and debloating of things I never use to clear up wasted space and absolutely love the current setup. Minimal, battery friendly, and zero issues with stability.

Minimal ROM?

I've been using LeeDroid romfor years but my M8 is now struggling badly with battery.
I was wondering, and struggling to find, any ROM's that play nicely on battery and resources to use the devices as a backup of sorts.
Had a search for the Sailfish OS that looks interesting but seems the M8's ROM support might be finally dying along with the phone.
Any suggestions?

1. You should've asked in Q&A section tbh.
2. There's not much that can be done about bad battery. I'd clean flash the rom again and do some undervolting and underclocking.
If you want to switch roms and want a sense based one then try a debloated stock rom - sometimes stock works best. ICE also had a good battery life.
If not sense based isn't an issue then there's plenty to go around - I think they'd be mostly the same with battery life, so pick whichever one you want - Oreo roms are new, Nougat roms are solid.
I'm currently on RR 5.8.5, did some underclocking and battery life is acceptable for such an old device.

[Q] Battery friendly?

Hi
I have newly rooted G5 Cedric, I was happily using the stock rom with xposed and gravity box, which gave me pretty solid battery performance. But I missed a few tweaks and mods so I flashed the last release of RR, which is a 7.1 rom. I haven't gone to Oreo as I am using 32bit version twrp, and quite happy keeping that.
Problem is since installing RR, battery life is considerably worse than the stock rom, so I guess I will have to go back to that. Can anyone suggest a rom which looks and feels as nice as RR but can offer a more stock sounding performance when it comes to battery?
I have rom suggestions threads as much as anyone, so I apologise for that

Got to say since I switched to 64bit lineage I've not even thought about battery. Never use to last before even with battery friendly kernel optimization. Not setup any optimization since I upgrade to the latest 64bit lineageos and had a good run, screenshot of my phone just before replying to this.
