Suggestions for an AOSP Lollipop ROM?

Hi, I'm looking for a suggestion on a good Lollipop ROM with AOSP look.
I need it to be stable enough for a daily medium usage (Web browsing, Facebook & Messenger, no gaming except for some light games here and there (like aa)), and good battery life with at least 4 hours of SOT. It's a 2GB version though. Will any ROM for D855 work on it?
I actually prefer cyanogenmod on my devices, but I heard it has some issues, so that's why I'm asking for a suggestion.

I've been using CM12 on my D852 for quite a while and just moved up to CM12.1 and I have no issues with SOT, 4h+ or battery life. Bugs are so minimal I'm not sure you'll find any. I use the HTC M9 Camera mod, google " HTC m9 camera on LG G3" + the htc m9 patch v1.1.
I'm not sure I trust the cm12 camera, though it supports 4k recording in CM12.1

Sorry for to be a newbie
Whats is ASOP and OPO. I saw it several time but cant get the right full name of it or meaning?
Thank you for your answer.

AOSP= Android Open Source Project
OPO= one plus one?

Depends on what you want. If you want the stock-based experience, then in this Forum here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development ) you can find ROMs such as CloudyG3 and ChupaChups ROMs that are based off stock. You can install AOSP themes for stock if you want complete customization for stock features, otherwise there's AOSP ROMs like BlissPop (HIGHLY recommend), Euphoria-OS, and others. Have a look around the forum I linked you to above, see which you'd prefer and look at all the features of each ROM and see which suit you. If you want battery life then AOSP is the way to go with nearly unlimited customization and custom kernels (Stuff that controls your CPU, GPU, screen,etc) you can achieve almost double the screen on time of the stock ROM. BlissPop's latest version includes the 777 kernel by jon777 and an app built-in to select whether you'd rather performance or battery life.
Essentially, AOSP is the pinnacle of Customization, while stock-based ROMs allow you to keep the stock experience with some tweaks. Although AOSP ROMs don't have some stock features like the QRemote, QCircleCase and others built in, you CAN install XPosed (Currently in Super-Alpha for Android 5.1) modules that insert these features into the ROM. For example, I'm running BlissPop with an Xposed Module that does all the funcitons of the QuickCircleCase so I'm able to use it with my non-stock ROM.
Ultimately it's up to you, but I'd look through that forum I linked you to above and see which looks best and suits you the best.
Hope this helped!

Most Stable ROM

What is the current most stable Android Lollipop ROM? Need one that is closest to AOSP and least amount of bugs with things like the Camera etc.

@Ziyan's zmod is a stable basic rom. All 5.1 roms for GN have ~250MB less available RAM than 4.x roms, because of a deficiency with the kernel. The lack of optimization for 5.1 means skippy performance and worse multitasking. So the problem now isn't stability

What exactly is that about deficiency of the kernel @bamtan2?

Apparently the combination of Android 5 and the old 3.0 kernel means the developers must reserve RAM permanently for some features, like the camera. This is called a memory "carveout". The 3.4 kernel would let developers stop wasting that RAM. But making a new kernel is a lot of work...
Here is a list of (some) developers who have helped bring Galaxy Nexus from Android 4.3 up to 5.1: https://github.com/MWisBest/android_manifest THE OMAP4XXX TEAM by @MWisBest

So that's why all the 5.x ROMs I've tried so far become sluggish in matter of hours
So the best solution would be going back to 4.4?

If ZMOD + whatever tweaks you choose is still too slow for you, then yes, 4.x would be more polished in some ways! But some of the best 4.x ROMs are unfortunately disappearing from the internet even though they work well. Software doesn't "age" the same way hardware does Ideally the old releases would be re-built with the latest security patches and kept online for people to download. Exactly what ROM is best for you is hard to say without a lot of personal testing.

Thanks for a new keyword to google (ZMOD)
GNE is my secondary phone, I'd like to have it around and to be able to count on it should I need it.
I like to have Xposed and even the stock ROM would be totally acceptable then (well, "stock" feature-wise), without any bloat. Any recommendations for 4.4 or 5?
Thanks for the info so far.

I was leaning towards ZMOD, thanks for explaining the kernel issue.

Best bet is to stick with Ziyan

Which Rom to go for, Tab Pro8.4 ?

Hi,
There's a multitude of roms available for the tab pro8.4.
As someone who's not particularly tech minded which would be the best to go for to give my tablet a new lease of life with the minimum of bugs ?
Cheers

I would suggest CM 12.1. It was Lollipop, but still batter than stock (Kit-kat). It has stable releases (CM is down, but you should still be able to find a download somewhere on the Internet). There are newer LOS builds, but that's only nightly builds, and the ones I tried are not very stable.

I've tried 2 roms,vu-vu-2.0 and slim6 and both have failed to install because of signature verification failure.
What am I doing wrong ?

I am using the Resurrection remix, by rnwalker. Version Nougat 7.1.2_r2 - N2G47E, from 24th April. It is running smooth without crashes or bugs, but I don't have Gapps installed.

I'm assuming the camera doesn't work as per all Nougat roms ?
I managed to instal Slim6 in the end,it's pretty good and very stable,better than stock battery life

I've been enjoying Slim6. Great battery life, and has been pretty stable for me:
https://slimroms.org/#/device/mondrianwifi

i am also running slim 6 . pretty stable and bugless

I'm have the odd issue with charging. I'm using a fast charger that came with my phone,2 amp I think.
Obviously it only works as a standard slow charger with the tab pro but it never reaches 100% unless I switch it off briefly

Yesterday I installed AICP 6.0.1 unofficial from August last year (after cfautoroot & latest twrp 3.1.1 for the 8.4). Was going back and forth between latest nougat cm and this one, really like some of aicp features and have different levels of it running on other devices.
Seems to run fine except for 3d rendering in a game I play, Star Trek Timelines. That game ran fine on the old original kitkat but is very choppy on this rom. Turning on forced 4x msaa in opengl es 2.0 apps dev option seemed to help a little. Anything else I should try?
Thanks!

Switched to latest Nougat Resurrection Remix (5.8.3) for the Tab Pro 8.4, running great! All options that AICP has, and then some. Enjoying some extended life for the Tab Pro.
Still having 3D stutters in ST Timelines, though.

I went with Slim6 and have been using it for a few months.I found it quite laggy so have just switched to the latest Lineage nightly and it's like chalk and cheese.
Can't comment on it's stability but it's so much more responsive,it's given my tab a new leese of life,thanks

I've switched from Slim 6 to Lineage 13 and what a difference.
Slim used to lag and stutter but Lineage is in a different league.The camera is rubbish mind so I've installed Open camera.......focussing appears to be an issue but as I rarely use the camera I'm not bothered.
Good work on the O/S though

Looking for new ROM

Hi,
I want to install new rom on my Z1C. I don't know exactly what to choose. I've been running on MX V8.50 but then I realised that battery drops fast and it also have Trojan inside. I want to increase my battery life as much as possible and I was wondering about installing KitKat based ROM is it a good idea? If yes then which ROM? I need some advices and I'm also concerned about security on KitKat. Maybe should I stay on 5.1.1? Or look for newer versions? How about Lineage? Is it good for battery?

Hello, I join as I am also looking for a system that will go fast with a good kernel for the maximum overclocking for games and with a small battery, I've tried several systems based on 5.1.1 as well as 7.1 it's hard to choose something, somehow as I used to have phones LG there were many more rums to choose from !! strange because Xperia Z1 and Z1 Compact are very good phones

Battery drain is best when controlled by you. Use firewall and app disabler/system manager apps, etc, and control how your battery gets used.
Security is only solved by using latest versions, since you can't add security patch to built rom, so if you're concerned, use latest rom, (for this phone would be AICP or LOS 14 by munjeni. However, some would say that the security issue is way overblown. For sure, if you use your phone to do security sensitive things regularly, (with bank account and personal information, etc), then you want to be wise, but the actual instances of Android phones getting violated because of lack of security patches are pretty few, and also can be controlled by things like firewall, etc.
My suggestion is to test many roms, and if you find one you like, but is lacking in a certain area, find a way to address that issue.

Yes levone1 you're right I agree that the protections are important, thanks to you I will check this AICP is a system based on CM 12.1 (Resurrection Remix - only newer with baiers, etc.)

Best battery custom rom

Hello everybody, I just have a quick question regarding the battery life of custom ROMs. I have tested many ROMs and all of them either have performance issues or battery life issues and I was wondering if somebody could tell me which ROM has the best of both worlds? (if any of them do) because I really don't like LG's nougat skin. (Doesn't matter which model it's for they all seem to work lmao)

I have been impressed with [G4][13.1][TITAN] ~ AICP ~ [H815][H811][UNOFFICIAL] feeling it combines the best of AOSCP N and Lineage O.
Refer to post # 1206 in the UsU thread for my review of it. Here's a relevant excerpt:
Coming from LineageOS 15.1 Oreo, I am very impressed with the performance and stability of this rom. It seems to me to combine the best of the AOSCP N and LineageOS O roms, and it has Privacy Guard included, a big plus in my book as I can extend some battery life (in addition to having Greenify and Amplify installed), by turning off Keep Awake in Google Play Services and Google Services Framework and other apps as well as limiting some that I don't need to Run In Background or load on Bootup. Find it in Settings > Security and Privacy > Trust > Privacy Guard > touch the 3 dot menu in the top right of the screen and select Advanced.
