Which Rom & Kernel Are You Hoping To Flash On You Nexus 5X ?

For those of you who will unlock the bootloader & root your brand new 5X. Which rom & kernel combination are you hoping to flash (either based on previous experience or from what you have heard) ?

Am i the only person that stopped rooting and flashing roms when they got their n5? I used every top of the line Android phone on T-Mobile, was a flash addict. Got my n5, it was perfect, and people were talking about how rooting the n5's were showing slower data speeds. I didn't want to chance slower speeds and vanilla Android runs too good to play with. Missed the addons from other roms but it wasn't worth it me.

On my moto G 2014 I unlocked and rooted but didn't flash (rom scene isn't close as good as nexus I think) only used stock. Only rooted to use adaway and cf lumen. I wish we can root our phones without unlocking bootloader.

I am going to be unrooted and completely stock, like you. Marshmallow added in features that makes custom ROMs less of an appeal to me. I would like Android Pay to work

From what I can see Nexuses have no real need to have a custom rom installed (compared to other smartphones). Also Android Pay will not work if rooted.
Would people agree ?

I agree. I used to just like flashing roms to see new things, but man, when a phone works as good as an n5 right out of the box, its hard to want to mess with that.

Same here... plus I have some root apps I can't live without. I don't really care about custom roms on the Nexus, but like you I won't be able to stop myself, I'm sure. I'd like for Android Pay to work though, but not necessary.

What are the benefits of Android Pay ?

Being in Canada and not being eligible for Android pay there is no adverse affect of rooting. Ideally would be running stock + xposed/gravitybox but one can only speculate when that will be available on 6.0. Until then something ASOP or stock based that includes extended reboot menu, circle battery mod, multiwindow, and additional quick setting toggles

You can pay with your phone at 23% of the stores in America lol lol. Which it's pointless. Now if you had Samsung pay that would be a different story, but you don't so let the rooting begin

You can be embarrassed holding up the checkout line trying to use Android Pay while your pay card rests in your back pocket. The only use I ever see for this stuff is if you actually forget your card. Then it's great to be able to pay with a phone. And at a drive-thru or restaurant, they take your card.

Cataclysm ROM -PERIOD!
Hands down smoothest ROM I have ever used on any Nexus phone, including stock Google. It is a little different but has everything I could ever want. The battery life is amazing. I've tried others, but have stayed with Cataclysm with my N5 2013.

@Mrwirez Is it guaranteed to come for the 5X ?

Cataclysm was favorite in N4 days. But the developer went MIA for 10 or so months during the jelly bean and kit kat days.

@Riverdales27 He's back now ?

I'm usually stock with some kernel like franco or elemetnalx.
Also, I love GravityBox but I guess we'll have to wait a long time for that to work on M.

I'd be looking for put SlimROM on there as soon as possible, I have it all customised just the way I like it on my Nexus 5.

Hopefully none. I didn't get to play around with Marshmallow yet and I hope the new features are enough to make me stay stock. I'm a big fan of CM's Privacy Guard and I want to see how extensive the new Marshmallow one is, that and quick toggles customization. If I'm not satisfied, I'll probably flash CM 13 nightlies when they're available.

[OPINION] Getting a Pixel this week - Are you stock or custom? Which Rom?

So I'm getting a Pixel this week, and I don't feel like trying a bunch of different Rom's, but I can't pick one or decided if I want to go stock.
What Rom are you using? What is great about it? What Problems have you faced? Why did you choose it? (Also, What Kernel are you using? Stock/Custom?)
A few notes:
I will 100% be rooting/TWRP, so that's no concern, just not sure if I want to go stock or custom (and if custom, which Rom). Right now I'm leaning towards Pure Nexus, as the last OTA Update broke my phone. (My fault, I wanted to see what would happen if I accepted OTA update while rooted/twrp ), but I know with Custom Roms, that won't be an issue!
[UPDATE] I use AppRadio Unchained ReLoaded daily which means BT + HotSpot + Chromcast/ScreenCast + Music and Phone over BT + Tasker etc, so anybody who uses AppRadio Unchained, or the aformentioned things a lot, with stability, I would love to know what Rom you are on. I'm looking for stable AppRadio which has been hard to find with so many moving parts in the equation.

I can't tell you which rom is best, you'll receive lots of differing opinions on the same thing. Only way is to try yourself and find the one that fits you best as that's what these forums are about.

For the time you took to type that, you could at least share your choice and why, I didn't ask "what's best" I asked what did you choose and why did you choose it.

I run Pure Nexus as Beans does great work as I also ran his PN rom on my Nexus 6 and he is good at what he does. I also run the kernel Elemental x both are great together and super fast and buttery smooth. That is the only custom rom I have ever ran on my pixel xl as I never wanted to give up how great it runs to try anything else lol.

That's exactly what I'm leaning towards, hoping I don't have a reason to try anything else

Velocity with build in MVK kernel. Fast stable and the best battery usage for me.
Also a lot features I need to have and a lot I don't use
Did try most of the custom out there, but I am using velocity for about 5 years now starting with Nexus 4, so I always flash back to velocity.

I been using pure Nexus, I like it a lot. Just tried RR that one is good to. U just have to try one.

Nah I am using stock ROM, have basically no interest in trying out them custom ROMs, sometimes I do seek for a few features, but I pass. Stock ROM is stable as ****, smooth as **** too, just flash Franco and be done with it.

Running PureNexus here with ELX kernel and am enjoying it

I'm running invisibleks lineageos builds. The best for me!?

I was on same boat just got my pixel xl ROMs had BT problems decided to read and got pure nexus and elementalx and no BT issues at all fast and great battery with wakelocks disabled. Take my word for it

If you want aptX bluetooth capability then you must use a Lineage OS based ROM (formerly CyanogenMOD). I use Resurrection Remix because it's got the most customization options that I like to use.
If you want systemless root or rootless system (whatever it is) then that's not something I know much about but I think it's default in upcoming Lineage OS based ROM's too. Or already is. Whatever. If it sounds vaguely familiar and something you want then ask someone else. lol
If you want pure Android then go with an AOSP based ROM.
If you want Pixel stuff then stay with stock ROM.
Yeah, I know.
You would think a Pixel ROM is pure Android huh.
It is, kind of/mostly.

Pure nexus didn't has the Bluetooth problem because he is not on the latest update.
It's a Google problem on first connection. After the first fc all is fine.

Pure Nexus and Elemental from the get go. No issues. Both are great with no issues so far. Highly recommend.

PureNexus for me. Tried most Roms out there, but keep coming back to it. Buttery smooth, reliable, great battery and great support as a bonus.

Resurrection Remix for me.

Dirty Unicorns have some RC builds up at devs-base

Custom roms that support the pixel 2 xl squeeze feature

Is there any custom ROMs yet that support the squeeze feature? I already am utilizing the edge sense app and magisk module on stock ROM but I have become very accustomed to it and would like to get the benefits of custom ROMs but have that feature as well. I thought there was a ROM that was one of the first for the pixel 2 xl that had it but I cannot remember what one it was.

Best 9.0 PIE ROM for Pixel XL?

I plan on buying a Pixel XL 32GB, as soon as I get the money. But thinking ahead, what is the best ROM for the Pixel XL? Preferable that is well supported and maintained.

Keep it with the stock rom. That's the best for me. I was a flasholic until I bought Pixel XL.

Same.
I dabble a bit with the other Tom's here but always end up on stock with root and a kernel.
Pixel dust is nice though, so is lineage.... Well they are all nice, but I'd run stock for a while

Thanks! But when it come to kernels, which on should I use?

Bootleggers

My goto is KingKernel, with blackened mod. Many choices of governors, I/O schedulers, network TCP. Then you can decide which works for your needs. With a little practice, patience try them all

I must be the only one who keeps going back to Android O. I tried P three different times now. Each time I wipe my phone and start from scratch but still immediately notice worse battery life. Doesn't matter it I'm stock or on a ROM.. and then as soon as I go back to oreo it gets better. That said I'm probably gonna try PixelDust for Oreo I guess cause I am getting bored with stock

If you want an official custom rom with quick updates and a large community then go with Liquid Remix, they've been around forever for a reason and have roms for many devices.
If you want a rom that does NOT include any of googles apps (instead of Google Phone/Calculator/ETC you'll get base android ones) then go Lineage. It's a solid rom that packs just as much customization as the others but is unique in its own way.
If you want (imo) the best rom and can wait for updates patiently then go Pixel Dust rom. It's more akin to Liquid Remix than Lineage, doesn't update as often (monthly instead of a few times a month) but has a few features the other roms don't (custom launcher, a few unique setting options).
I myself haven't had much luck with bootleggers or benzo rom, so the above 3 are my goto's.

You're not alone! I'm sticking with Oreo. I have yet to see value in Pie - worse Recents menu, forced awkward gestures,...no thanks. I'm hoping they wise up and release a killer 10.0 Android.

There is nothing good to see in Pie, end of story. Its just one of those eye catchy release to attract the kids and level with iOS UI design that's it.

Stock rom, flash king kernel and magisk with LKT set to balance, im hitting 6h sot instead of stock 3.5h

Still rocking Dirtyunicorn 12.3 aka 8.1 until DU pie comes out!Sean

I don't necessarily have the time to be flashing between various custom ROMs and seeing what works and all that nowadays, so I usually just stick to LineageOS and the kernel they include with that. There's an unofficial LOS 16 (Pie) ROM provided by a maintainer of LOS for this device that works relatively well in my experience.

Liquid is best for me. Lots of options no slow downs it reboots. It just works.

Is this 9.0 Stock rom? How long have you had the device? Would it possible to share some screenshots for above numbers. I've been thinking of downgrading to Oreo for battery but if this battery can be achieved with 9.0, I'll probably stick to it.

Does you device lag with LKT and King Kernel?
I was able to run it smooth only with Franco Kernel, but King kernel even on "performance" profile still lags horribly.

Im currently on ElementalX with feb security update, lkt not needed to hit 5+ sot
And yes phone was a bit laggy but since the pixel for me is so fast, i didn't really mind much

What all Oxygen OS features will I miss if switch to custom ROM?

My previous phone was Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus and it had a ton of custom ROMs and features. But even though the 7T doesn't have a large number of custom ROMs, I'm very happy with the Oxygen OS since it very similar to the stock Android and has necessary features.
I want to know that what all Oxygen OS unique features will I miss if I switched to a custom ROM? I mean the features that won't get in any custom ROM. I know the features that present in every custom ROMs but I can't figure out which unique feature will I miss from Oxygen OS.

Nothing

You'll lose face unlock. I haven't found one yet that has it

You'll miss the following things:
1.Proper refresh rate switching
2.Reliable fp
3.OIS
4.Pro mode
5.48 mp
6.Portrait.
7. Fix for wide angle distortion
8. Noise reduction
9. Good battery life
10. Stability
Don't bother flashing custom ROMs if you need everything working and want peace of mind. Sure you can use gcam on custom ROMs but that still doesn't fix OIS, pro mode,48 mp and wide angle distortion

You'll lose stability. There are no proper Custom ROMs for this device yet.
Besides, OxygenOS already feels like a very stable custom rom so why bother anyway?
Just flash beta if you're really itching to try something "new".

Thanks all for the answers. I've been using custom ROMs (even developed a few) since the decade old Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 to the Lenovo ZUK Z2 Plus, and I always preferred those with both feature rich and similar to stock Android. The Oxygen OS is very well polished, stable and looks very similar to the stock Android, and since I started using my OnePlus 7T I even forgot about custom ROMs. After reading your points I think it is better to stay away from custom ROMs. If this was a few years ago I wouldn't have a second thought, I'd definitely try them. Don't know what is pulling me back (age ??). Anyways thank you all again.

I bought a OnePlus device because I thought I'll be flashing a lot of ROMs and kernels like my Nexus devices.
It turned out to be quite different since there's not even an official TWRP (yet).

Don't even bother, I have tested all available custom roms and returned to stock after a week of use. When you flash custom rom, at first looks like a refreshment, something different, but after a few days of use, you will notice problems (bugs). On one of the custom roms, my phone just shut it self, an I was not able to boot anymore. So, Oxygen is still the best, fastest and most stable. I think that One Plus has the best software on the market, and because of that, it was my choice

Yes I have tried all of them! And doesn't matter which custom rom, OOS is hard to beat this time.
Combined with Arters kernel you will get the best battery results! On custom rom you could only dream about it.
Im a guy who always flash custom roms, but this time i'll stay on oxy. Treskmod is a great alternative, but you won't get same SOT as OOS + arter.

That's what I think the reason for me not rooting as well. Age and new edition of kids...twin boys to be exact in my life. And raising them alone is the biggest so time if a factor. I will admit I miss a few things which require root like ad adaway, Viper mod, various simple edits like turning on features like caller ID and other little stuff, and prob a few other things. But it is what it is. I bet sports using a app from Station Casinos in Vegas and the app will not work it won't let you sign in with dev options unlocked and I have a feeling it will def not if root in enabled. I'd have to decompile the app and figure out where the controller is for that and changed it but after I do that it will prob get updated like always happens and have to do it again so I'm just riding stock but I can't lie the itch is strong!

Yeah,if someone still needs to try out custom ROM, definitely try AOSiP and treskmod. Treskmod will give slightly lesser battery life than OOS/AOSiP tho. And don't expect PA for 7t to materialize,that herna dude has ruined PA for both 7t and overall.
