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.

hello everyone,
i've replaced my G3 with a S7 Edge and i wanted to give my phone to my daughter who is more willing to have a stable and durable phone than a fast and short life mobile.
so my question is simple, over all the Android ROMS and versions (Kitkat, Lollipop, Marshmallow & Nougat), which one is the best in term of stability & overall battery?
she does not need any rooting or special tweaks.
thanks for your recommendations

Hello,
I would recommend Marshmallow ROMs.
Something like Cyanogenmod 13,Stable,Fast,Easily disabled Root Access(it's disabled by stock).
No bugs and crashes at all. The battery with a lowered brightness(40%),can easily make a day (normal usage example wifi,data,location All ON messaging,(messenger)
And while playing games it can stay 3-4,5 hours and maybe more.
Also with Doze feature,the battery has more durability when the phone isn't being used.
So my opinion is Cyanogenmod 13.(And that's what I'm using right now)
Greetings.
thank you very much! i'll give it a try this evening
If you ever find the cm 13 ROM, let me know. Im looking for it on the d852.
Thanks
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.
LineageOS by Flo071
Recently got a M9. Wanted to know your experience about the most popular rom for the M9. Viper, Leedroid, ICE... How to you like them? What is battery life and performance?
I don't care about customization so as long as a rom is fast, stable, and hold good battery life, I would take it.
Let me know if you could jump in and share your thoughts.
Thanks
p.s. I actually went ahead and flash leedroid 10 v3.9.0 stable.
The room is fluent but I can't get notifications....
Do you have Leedroid tweaks installed?
I'm using ViperOneM9 now, seems stable and good battery.
I'm using ICE M9 5.5.9,and i have tested Viper rom. I prefered ICE with great battery life, smooth fast, and without problems. Ice great rom.
I used viperOne before, great rom with good battery life... I hated all the preloaded apps in the rom
I personally chose viper as the best stock based ROM but I found battery standby by time suffered to extent and i barely managed to get 8 hours out of the battery.
It also has far to many options and tweaks for my liking.
I ran a development stock ROM based on 4.x firmware for a few weeks, and it worked fine.
I'm currently running lineage OS 14.1 after a spell running lineage 15, but although 15 is very good, its not fully stable and has no working camera and does randomly reboot at times.
I'm getting a solid 14 hours stand by on the battery using lineage 14.1.
I just find that the best (for me) at this time.
The bad part of aosp roms is camera and sound.
For me stock nougat is the best.
This forum is very confusing, not like my old phones forums.
I just wanted to ask what ROM and kernel combo you all use and what you've found the best. Just asking for opinions and a chat. Don't kill me
I'm on LineageOS 15.1 with Alize Kernel. Very nice and smooth with good battery life and since it's 64bit I can use the Google Camera port with HDR+ which massively improves the usability of the camera for me!

How you can use the HDR+ on Los 15.1?

Details are in the LOS 15.1 thread. Read through the replies from the 21st of December, everything you'll need to get it working is there!
I'm using the stock debloated and rooted ROM, I prefer stock because it has better quality calls and because of the battery, it's just amazing, with linage is 14.1 I could even last a full day with a lot of use. But with stock I've been in a small trip with friends and most of the time we were with the Bluetooth and GPS on, battery lasted all day long, and over night it just use 2% of battery. Also you can install Xposed, so you have almost the same customization as Linage OS. The only thing that bother me is that I can not make run my favorite sound mod, Dolby ATMOS.
I'll wait until a stock debloated and rooted 8.0 or 8.1 ROM appears or gets developed.
It's always fun in XDA, thanks for the great times I've had in this forum.
I'm also using the stock debloated ROM but unrooted. I don't have a need for root really. But this ROM is amazing.
I had the phone for around 8-9 months before I could be bothered going to the trouble of unlocking bootloader and such. Will never look back, I have so much more free internal storage and phone is a lot faster!
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.
