What's the most stable or bug-free custom ROM?

Is there any ROM that is completely bug-free, or at least doesn't have basic features broken? I've seen lot of threads about custom ROMs where a worrying number people report serious issues. Like no GPS, no deep sleep, severe battery drain, broken modem, etc.
For what it's worth, this is for a rooted E980 20g with CWM recovery 6.0.4.4 that has never had a custom ROM (still has stock Kit Kat 4.4.2). I want something based on Lollipop but I'd settle for Kit Kat if it meant no issues. I'm kind of a noob, so the fact that there are seemingly dozens of custom ROMs has overwhelmed me...

im looking for it too

Best for you is to go and test every one of them.

Im also looking for it bro....

There is a quick-fix for camera in forums; for blackouts - try with Wildkernel, build 4 or 5.

You're flashing kernel, not ROM. No need for data wiping, just flash kernel and reboot.

That is not even remotely feasible. It would takes weeks of research and testing, and the entire time the device would be useless, given the high chance of major bugs. There's just too many custom ROMs available for your suggestion to be practical.

There are 3-4 actively built AOSP-based custom ROM's for E980 (CyanogenMod, BlissPop, SlimLP... I'm not mentioning hack-roms made from stock), and you can test them in maybe 3-4 days, if you use each for 24h at least. Total time to backup, flash and restore is maybe 1.5 hours so it isn't a big thing, can be done at night, right before you go to sleep.
I can give you recommendations what to test (which isn't quite necessary when you have a choice between 3-4 ROMs, isn't it?); I can't tell you which ROM is 'the best' simply because what is maybe good for me is not good for everyone else.
Thing is, if you want to try custom ROMs, you try CM first. If it satisfies, ok, you use it. if it doesn't, you go and test another one. Back in the time I was searching for perfect ROMs, there were mabye 10-12 source-built roms (again, I'm skipping those stock-based hack-roms) and I've tested every one of them in course of two-three months, searching for the one which would work great and is customizable to the great extend.
So yeah, changing software on your phone actually involves some testing and reading, not getting everything 'pre-chewed' and ready.

Latest cm11 snapshot (not cm12.1 or cm12) this is pretty stable and is kitkat 4.4.4 based.

Justlovejoy cm11 is better than the cm11 snap12 , since the dev modify the ROM some more. The battery life is better than the most ROM you're able to find IMO. Here is the download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60430532

The SlimLP port for our device is really nice and stable. MMS works on it as well, which is not available with stability on other ROMs. Also it is very smooth and has a nice battery life as well.

Yep! I was installed Slim LP on my e989 and work very very good!
I was tested with Cyanogen (w/o radio) , BlissPop (great ROM but random reboots and black screens) and finally SlimLP w/o any problems in 4 days. The battery life time is so good. I downspeed muy procesador from 1.7 to. 1.3 and The time is incrrased some hours.
(Sorry my bad english. I speak Spanish)

I am in the same boat.
CM works for me, but the screen turning black and requiring a reboot makes it not really usable. Especially if you use your phone for work, because in the middle of typing a texting or something your phone screen will go black and you will need to reboot. (Although the screen is black, it is still responsive so if you have good enough memory to know where you are pressing on the screen I guess you can send what you need before rebooting)
Tried blisspop, but same issue.
Tried installing the wild turkey kernel but it puts my phone in a constant reboot loop, and if it does load then everything is broken. Tried installing it 3 different ways via factory reboot.
Also, every rom install/update for CM and Blisspop, I had to install the audio fix rom from dangdavy to get audio on phone calls. My Plantronics Voyager Edge also doesn't work with voice assistant and the mobile hotspot does not work.

ROM for daily use without HTC Apps?

Hi there!
Are there any recommandations for a htc10 ROM for daily use which comes without alle the htc Apps?
Or is it possibly to replace or deinstall the htc Apps like phone, and calendar?
Thank you.

OR GPE

Is this a ROM? I think there is no Google PlayStore Edition of the htc10?!

There is no GPE of the HTC 10, version only available on M7 and M8 and there is no official Cyanogenmod rom actually. Maybe some unofficial CM13 versions but never tested on HTC 10 and don't know anything about their stability.
---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
But you can disable applications in the applications settings if you don't want the phone to load it at start and then, install the app you want from PlayStore or apk file.

Now I'm going to try this ROM I wish it will be good for daily drive.
I'm disappointing because there is no "pure android ROMs" and no "official CM" for our phone..

Just install either cm13 or resurrection remix or did what I did and flash venom and only keep what you need. Everything works that way.

If you don't use Android Pay or Pokomon Go, then I highly recommend Viper 10 ROM, many mods built in and the Aromo Installer can let you choose remove Sense and other HTC apps.
But 1st thing you should do is to unlock bootloader in HTCDev, then flash custom recovery (e.g. TWRP), then you can install Viper 10 custom ROM.

Which one are you using?

I'm scared to update to any as tried from Lollipop to MM and got the dreaded bootloop
Did it twice, raw install second time round and same issue
Still looking to install newer OS but so hesitant
Interested to hear what's a good OS to upgrade to also
Sent from ASUS ZE551ML ^_^

Lineage OS = Stock Design
ResurrectionRemix = Stock Design also but more customization options
For the battery, it depends on the user.
Btw, I'm currently using RR

Hi, I'm currently using the latest Lineage OS for ZE550ML (Z008) plus Greenify app with root permissions to ibernate the apps that I don't care about when my zenfone goes to sleep. Thanks to Greenify I can have a lot more battery than the Marshmallow original stock rom.
I have one question: If I want to switch to ResurrectionRemix I have just to flash the ROM with TWRP, but what if i want to switch on CyanogenMod 13? Is it the same way? Have I just flash the CM13 with TWRP? Anybody knows? Thank you!

well, i don't want to be/sound like the 'captain obvious' here ; cos i'm currently facing the terrifying error message on boot: "Can't load invalid boot image"....BUT i strongly believe that the point of installing TWRP is to be able to flash custom ROMs to your phone right?
So what makes CM.13 different from the others? Just like any other ROM, i believe they follow a pattern...same way u installed LineageOS - same thing applies to all... UNLESS:
1. U are new to these whole stuff about flashing and
2. U are uncertain about the kind of ROM u are about flashing (whether or not its meant) for the Laser....
Conclusion of the matter: YES, IT IS THE SAME WAY

For sometime now (before bricking my zfone), i've been asking myself the same question...but as someone mentioned earlier, u r the better judge! But how can u be a better judge of things u hv no idea of right? awesome! u can follow these few steps to make a decision for yourself.
1. Install and use LineageOS for 2weeks (or more--to about a month), then wipe it off and clean install Resurrection Remix for the same period of time. Once u fall in love with one, that's the best for u....OR
2. Install both in dual-boot, use them interchangeably for about 2 weeks (or more). If u feel comfortable with one, u have your choice! then wipe clean the phone to make way for a clean installation of your favorite rom.....OR
3. (I won't advice u to do this, but it may help)....Watch videos about on YouTube, read reviews online et al....and make your decision based on that which u think is best for u....but once again, to pronounce judgement based on someones' experience can be hazardous!!!!!
THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT!!!
BTW, if you care to know what i'm using....Was about commencing my test with LineageOS b4 the zfone went crazy....going with the first option....

Nougat worthy?

I have a stock LP-rom H815 with locked bootloader, rooted and TWRP-in-FIsH by @steadfasterX installed and I want to try the update from LG for new experiences but tbh I am very much skeptical about the N rom successfully booting up without any issues since I have been reading about in other threads and a lot of users are complaining of it bootloop-ing or crashing and such while there are few who are impressed without any issue from updating to Nougat
I am hoping maybe you experienced members could shed some light on this Nougat rom not blowing up right back on my face since it is my only device and daily driver and suggest me if it is worth the shot safely.
--UPDATE--
Yes it is. With proper guidance, it is.

LG G8 LineageOS

I've been a huge fan of the LineageOS roms in the past & have a couple of questions that maybe people can chime in on:
How come no ROMS, that I know of, are available for this phone?
What can I do to get my phone to something bare bones, like what LineageOS provides.
I've gone ahead and done the debloating without root, but the list that's available, only covers so many apps & my Sprint phone comes with so many junk apps.
Is there a difference deleting apps when rooted and when not?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

If the list is incomplete, just find the rest of the package names yourself and uninstall them.... Not too hard, I think. You have to bootloader unlock, and then you can install gsis like lineage or others. When rooted, you can do exactly what you can do without root, except you can easily do it without a computer (although you can use package disabler pro without root). You can also permanently uninstall system apps, so they stay uninstalled after a factory reset. Generally there's not really a point in that, and I barely ever do it.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I think I'm going to pay for package disabler pro. I would really love lineage on here but I don't see a dedicated version for this device and don't really want to spend all the time & effort to unlock the bl.

At some point, I might try to build lineage or someone else might, but right now there's nothing that a device specific rom really gives over these gsis. Of course you would have to unlock bl to flash lineage as well.

Thanks, but too little too late for my dodo self. I went to the apps page for the LG version and I saw the option to purchase direct through them. But didn't pay attention that it was the Samsung version. No where on their site is there a link for the LG version & I want to avoid buying through the Play Store.

It's fairly easy to get an apk for it... Anyway those devs have taken it off the play store in the past, so people were forced to buy it again. I don't think you should be too morally concerned in this case.
