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

Good, stable and bat. friendly ROM

Freedom OS 2.8, bluspark kernel. wih 4g heavy usage, giving me 4-5hrs SOT constantly. and in wifi/light usage , 7-8hrs SOT always. Loving the current setup.

Pheonix AEX by itself... has a great kernel and easily gotten 9+ SoT in the last two battery cycles. Has all the customization you'll ever need built in and has the best OOS camera port. Just give it a try, it wont disappoint.

Pheonix aex is the best

I'm running the unofficial Pure Nexus ROM with its included Sultan kernel. It's good in my opinion.

Use unofficial Pure Nexus ROM with its included Sultan kernel. It's good ROm, stable ,bat. friendly

Thanks guys. I will try Vertex Now, I have EAX Phoenix, but it's a bit laggy...
I gonna try Pure Nexus when it's stable enough. (I see posts about lags).

Well, reduced small cluster max freq by one step. Rest all as it is. Agressive doze is OFF. Somehow feels that keeping it ON drains more. /Contradicting/
Tried naptime initially, but with and without it, the duration is more or less the same.

I am also looking for a great ROM.
Is official Resurrection Remix the "best"? It has all features of the other ROMs?? Good battery life and stable??
Official kernel?
Or are there better ROMs or kernels and if yes, which are the advantages?
---------- Post added at 11:42 ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 ----------
I personally don't know, why to use a Oxygen OS based ROM? I think, it has no features and not much customization and nothing great? Or am I wrong?

xXx no limits rom with bluspark kernel is a beast. Camera is my priority especially video recording and no other rom could suffice that. Very stable ofcourse.
Rom has inbuilt performance tweaks and is super snappy. Ofcouse I tried plenty other roms especially for camera, sulan's rom phoenix aex rom and many more , they manage to take good photos almost as good as OOS but none of them could match video recording smoothness of OOS especially in 1080p 60fps. Tried and tested a lot. And with my usage I easily get around 6 to 7 hours of sot with excellent performance.

But Oxygen OS based ROMs don't have many features, I suppose.
I am trying Resurrection Remix at the moment and it seems to be excellent.:good::good:

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.

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.

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

Not in mine.

AEX seem to receive a lot of positive feedback on zukfans too.

PIE Rom recommendations

Hello guys, I have recently fixed my zuk z2, and I am a little behind the new custom roms based on pie. Can anyone help me with some information about them and with a revomandation. I would prefer something stable and fluid.

I'd suggest Arrow pie and aosip pie. They both rock. However aosip has less customisation options available

Bootleggers is also excellent in battery life.. it also has lots of customisations. On the other hand Arrow OS and AEX is also very good... With Arrow OS getting faster updates (weekly)

If you want fluidity and smoothness without any animation shuttering then go with pixysos. Its buttery smooth like I'm using any pixel device. Battery is also decent. I'm in love with pisysos.

Pie rom with good battery life??

Also lineage 16 very good

AEX the best rom for our device no one can beat AEX.

MSM extended with lots of customisation that no one can beat

Try Aosip & Aex 6.x
I personally like Both ROMs are very stable giving great battery backup in compared to all other pie ROMs available right now both gives 5-6 hrs of SOT and They are quite good in pubg but they slightly lag sometimes (I have the stable wifi connection ) but the gaming was decent it gives 3-3.5 hrs of continues gaming ?? With nameless kernel

1. Syberia
2. Carbon Rom
No hassle of custom kernels. 3.5-4 hours SOT with heavy gaming. Inculing pubg and clash Royale.
