What is a good custom ROM for Lenovo Z2 Plus? - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

I'm looking for a Nougat based ROM for this phone. I have a score of 156K on Antutu V7.0.4 on stock ZUI 2 Android 6.0.1, which I think is fairly decent. I don't care about customisations. All I want is a ROM that does not gimp the SoC's performance or reduce battery life/efficiency or have too high resource comsumption (RAM, CPU). Which ones would be the best? I mostly use this device to play games, browse the internet using Chrome and that's all. TIA
Edit: What I basically need from a ROM
1) Shouldn't degrade my SoC performance, only pump the benchmark numbers up
2) Doesn't have to have the latest security patch, as I've had no issues running August 2016 security patch since I got this phone
3) Shouldn't have connectivity issues with LTE/VOLTE, Wifi, Hitspot, Bluetooth
4) Shouldn't degrade the battery life
I know it's too much, but could you type your Antutu V7.0.4 scores in your comments? Does your custom ROM on your Z2+ really support Vulkan? Use Aida64 and lemme know.
TYVM.

Aicp vs jaguar vs rr

Which Rom is best for our device... Aicp or jaguar or RR...
So far from the comments i understand aicp is the most stable and gives the highest battery standby but lacks frequent updates or support from the developer... Jaguar gives high performance but low standby.. Need to activate af wall... Webview manually and best support and updates from the developer....
Rr has some bugs but good for customization....
This is my personal feedback...
Please comment your thoughts too so that we can conclude the best rom for our device.....
Aex so far
But now that official viper is coming, let's see what will happen
Go for AICP or Jaguar. Im currently using AICP.
Sent from my Z2 Plus using XDA Labs
I think AICP is the best.
I have been using AICP since 2 months and its the rom, which I felt like I should not change, you can make a lot of customization in it.
Official Viper!
Has ota, insane customization, extremely stability, INSANE benchmark scores and amazing battery life at the same time!!!
Seriously, you need to try this ROM!!!
I had never heard of it either before I tried... Never switching again
Benchmarks at oneplus territory... OnePlus owners watch out!
P.S. I had stuttering issues with resurrection remix, hence switched ?
Bro tell me how u get that much score
Bro I am running on viper os 3.1coral 2017/10/16 .but my scores are very low 3d is only 35k and geekbench to very low.i am on stock viper kernel
Jaguar Wins, more stable in my opinion
Jaguar, AEX 4.6, AEX 5.0 best ROMs
Aex and Jaguar
RR is the best and stable
I'm using RR since 3months, Even though it is discontinued. It has good battery and performance.
Its the stable rom according to me.
I have tried Viper and AICP before.
Thanks.

As per my old experience with AEX it has very poor antutu and SOT is also less. Can you tell me about RR's antutu and Battery life?

Please Give me link for Hydrogen os oreo 8.1.
Nitrogen OS would be the winner far better in terms of performance

what about its antutu and battery life?
Jaguar antutu with stock kernel 174k
However antutu scores shouldn't be used to judge ROMs.
how the hell did you get 173k ? i rarely get above 140K with AEX 5.2 (which is a respectable score for a SD820)

That ss is of new version of antutu(v7), you might be talking about v6 of antutu. Take a look at v6 antutu of jag Oreo.....
Hey can you please share the link for the Miui 9 nougat which you are running.

What is Jaguar, a rom or a kernel? Do you have the link?
Best rom for pubg? I am on PE and getting about 3.5 hours of sot while playing pubg. But the idle drainage is very huge. Any alternative??
Jaguar is definitely a good ROM . Almost better than every ROM out there. PUBG works smooth on it at temps around 55-60C but as of now VoLTE is broken on jaguar and DEV is trying his best to come up with a FIX .I would suggest BootLeggers as an alternative Antutu Score around 162K PUBG works smooth as well.

You have lot of options.
IMO I am using AEX 5.2 rooted with stock kernel and helix engine to balance battery and performance.
Enjoying my experience. No lags anywhere and able to get 6 and half hours of SOT.
Thanks,

Yes. You can download it from one plus forums. It does a really good job. It's an accessibility service like greenify. But it implements the dynamic control of cpu profiles.
Helps me get more SOT and giving me a good control whenever I need more performance.
You should definitely try it out
My suggestions
Nougat-Miui 9,h2os,viperos
Oreo-aex, pixelexperience, basically most Oreo roms are similar in terms of performance and battery, have charging issues, not as stable and bug less as nougat ones.
jaguar os

BootleggersROM very stable
I would also recommend bootleggers ROM. I am using it as my daily driver and I am immensely satisfied with it. I highly recommend to you this ROM.

Best ROM for performance?

Yo, whats the best rom to make the most performance out of the Z2 Plus? Low thermals if possible? Im currently using RR 6.0 and i can run pubg fine on high settings but sometimes, my phone just heats up xd, mostly normal temps tho. Last time i benchmarked, the result was around 140k
Want best performance and a good battery? try none other than jaguar.
if volte user: may 8 build
non volte user: latest build
And for best battery..?

It has akt inbuilt. Average 6+h sot in stock profile. You can configure it to get up to 8h. It has many kernel aduitor profiles on it which give a good customizability.
Use Aosip Rom, Latest 9th July Build..!! It's The best.. !
Running AiCP 13.1 latest weekly. Default kernel. No extra mods. No root. Jio VoLTE (Primary) AirTel Second SIM. A lot of indoor WiFi usage also.
I follow a 20-80% charge cycle assisted by AccuBattery app. Once a week I do full 100%.
Getting around 6 hours 15 mins SoT. General phone, social apps, work apps usage along with few matches of PubG before bed time.
Performance is okish. Not as great as some non treble ROM but if compared to other treble ROMs, performance is satisfactory !!
Bootleggers best performance and battery ( do some digging you'll know ?)
Try miui 9.5 rom it is best rom
Try H2OS
You should try H2OS, the most stable custom ROM I've used so far. Smooth and fast, with great battery life and features. My favorite custom ROM for this phone yet.
I hope it gets updated for 8.1 though.

Android Oreo in 2019

Hello everyone,
Just curious to know if we have Oxygen os builds available for Oreo in 2019. Would like to rollback to Oreo but don't want to lose android security patches.
Android pie is working fine. But really miss the brightness levels and camera was better in nougat and Oreo compared to pie. Battery was the top in nougat easily got 6-7 hours screen on time with enough battery left for the day and with Oreo it was the best 8-8.5 hours.
Not complaining about pie. Can get through the whole day with moderate use and 20-30% left in evening. Just sharing my experience so far with 5t.
I would like to try nougat or Oreo if there are any versions available with latest android security patches.
Apologies if this has been already asked somewhere and answered. I went across XDA and OnePlus forums, Plz let me know if anyone is running Oxygen os with nougat/Oreo at the moment. Thanks!!
No OOS oreo/nougat builds with latest security patches

I dont see any decrease in battery life in pie. More likely your battery degenerated over time or some apps or background services drain it.
Go hunting for it with logcat or betterbatterystats
Try custom ROMs

Yes...custom roms are totally worth it, Since I have multiple work apps installed at the moment. a bit concerned on how they will work under root. Just sharing my usage logs with a comparison between Oreo and pie
The first set of screenshots are from moderate day usage in Oreo back in 2018 which has mixed usage of social apps and gaming
The second usage is from current stable 9.0.6
Not sure if everyone is getting similar battery life between Oreo and pie in moderate usage throughout the day.
I feel the 10-15% difference with battery left at end of day cause a big change still I get to manage throughout the day in pie.
Compared to Oreo from these random usage screenshots, pie is getting worse day by day. Maybe it's the battery that gets degraded over time or its the overall phone hardware that runs round the clock for us
I have this feel almost with every device, Samsung galaxy 5, Xperia neo v and also back in opo. Android kitkat had best battery and lollipop had a moderate and with marshmallow it got worse.
Just sharing my opinion and also curious to know if y'all out there feel the same.
Edit : Would like to add all these usage were taken in locked bl running unrooted
No need for root , just flash a custom rom and then enjoy ,for me comparing to Oreo pie has good SOT , AND im a heavy Gamer so cant help with battery stats :silly::laugh:
Still many custom ROMs works good in SOT with a custom kernel too.

Hmm yeah.. planning to give it a try. Been sticking with stock unroot most of times since I got 5t. Had it unlocked and under root for few weeks back in January due to shutter sound bug. Since it got fixed moved to stable.
I could see many custom roms are available to try.
Any tips on choosing custom rom, I mainly look for Oxygen os camera and good battery. How's OOS open beta holding up compared to stable pie in terms of battery.
