Hi, I'm very new to this community, I want to put Android 9 on my Nexus 5X device. I see there are at least 3-4 different "releases". Which one is more recommended in terms of stability and similarity to the original Android 9?
Also this article shows how to install LineageOS 16, but the official pages for LineageOS don't list Nexus 5X as a supported device. Is it safe to follow that guide?
@n1ckn4me: I found in your quoted text only links to known builds here, no LA16. As always: there's no recommendable ROM, it depends on your preferences. My preferences are lite and googlefree, so I'm happy with GroundZero Pie. I mention it, because its thread is a bit hidden. Read the recent posts of the 4-6 ROMs and try and have fun.

No Lineage OS based on Pie available at the moment.
I tried to install a couple of roms based on Pie but I think no one rom is currently stable and smooth for a daily use.
My nexus has 4gb of ram, so I think no way to use Pie roms with 2gb at the moment.

So the T-mobile stock rom is stuck in 4.4 as we all know and I wanted to know if another rom would make it faster or slower? Which would be the best rom for performance and what OS 6.0, 7.0, or 5.0 is generally better. Also, battery life is a concern
Similar concern, how are last builds of cm 13? I know 7.0 is in flux with transition to lineageos. But I'm about to pull the trigger on a used s4 to be my new daily driver. It's the most compact GSM phone with relatively modern specs and good custom ROM support
Any input greatly appreciated
The last build of CM is rather stable and has proved to be the most reliable for daily use. AlaskaLinuxUser seems to be the only remaining active dev for the M919. He recently mentioned that he will continue to support the (currently 7.1.1) AOKP rom, which for the time being is the only actively maintained Android N rom for our obscure variant of the S4. It is rather stable but there are a few quirks. If we are lucky, an official Lineage 14 build will be made available soon. I wouldn't count on it though!

im getting random reboots on aokp, what is the best aosp rom for s4 rn? (nougat or otherwise?)
Same here, I've had several issues with 7.x.x roms and rather dreadful battery life. I would recommend the final build of CM 13 as a stable OS until some milestones are met.
Hey guys,
Could you please recommend alternative to MIUI ROM for Mi9 SE?
My GF using this phone with Pixel Experience, but it is no longer supported, so I'm looking for something else.
The point - it has to be stable.
What would you recommend?
At this moment, crDroid is the most developed and stable AOSP ROM.
Thank you. Is there any specific way to flash from PE?
Just follow the developer's instructions on crDroid thread (first page) and check http://svr4.ru/projects/grus/ for updates (read read.me before updating).
You can actually dirty flash over pixel experience, that way you keep your settings and apps. Just flash the newer firmware, then crdroid.
Hello guys,
There is a lot of customs roms for our OP3T but why there is no Oxygen OS roms unnoficial (based on the latest OOS build) for our OP3T, since OOS is a very good os, i don't understand.
It's not possible ?
Thanks guys
There are OOS based ROMs such as theOne3OS, Experience etc. They have mostly been debloated versions of the official ROM with some baked-in enhancements like Magisk modules. There are no OOS ROMs based on Android 10 AFAIK. Not sure how difficult it is to port stable official Android 10 ROMs from other OnePlus devices.

OOS is closed source - nobody (but OnePlus) has source code for. The non-OOS custom roms are source build (aosp and caf open source based). The OOS based roms are just repacks of the original OOS. OOS is no longer supported for op3/t - after OOS 9.0.6 there is nothing to repack.
Like the others said repacks are availible, if you want to try to run a newer oxygen os version than is officially availible you have the biggest chance with the unofficial gsi support route and a oxygenos gsi rom. But i don't expect it to work well so only do it if you enjoy tinkering with your phone and are an experienced flasher who has the neccesary backups.
OneUi is closed source too.
Why have old galaxy phones OneUi-costum rom from new galaxy Devices?

Hard to say on this general basis. Maybe gsi.
I suggest you read the threads of such roms and ask the dev if those threads doesn't answer your question.
Then you can do the same for oos. I'm sure many people will appriciate your work.
Hello, I'm new here and I think about to install android 9 or 10 on my Lenovo P2(a42).
So I think original Android is not really possible, especially when you want to have Android 10, right?
Anyway, I came to Lineage OS and AOSP ROM then. So my question is now, can I expect that the user interface is like original Android (9,10)? I've never used Lineage or this AOSP ROM. The only reason why I think about to "upgrade" is more customization-possibilities (like in Android 9 or 10). But i have no interest in unstable Alpha stuff. So I think Android 9 based stuff would be the best option for me.
So do you think Lineage OS based on Android 9 (or even Android 9 itselfe) is possible to use (stable) on Lenovo P2 and is the userinterface the same as in Android 9 ? And are the Lenovo P2 exclusiv-functions still available? Like hide navigation-bar, use fingerprint for moving back and the battery-saving-mode with the physical button (these 3 should really still be possible because I use them alot). And do I have to expect higher Battery-Usage on Android 9 based Lineage OS ?
Would be cool, if i can get some answeres here
Edit: Ah i didn't see there is a Lenovo P2 forum here
man, just use lineage os android 9. It will be good. Its defacto solution and based AOSP. Also you should stop using stock rom if you are using.
Hi!
If I understand things correctly, my Moto G5 phone is born with an Android OS version that only accepts 32bit code, although the hardware is 64bit?
Why did Moto do that? It sounds like selling a car with a 6 or 8 cylinders engine, and only use 4 of them...?!
And on top of that, I discovered they stopped updating that (primitive 32bit) Android 8.1.0 OS in February 2019...
Should I switch to a custom 64bit ROM? NB!: Stability and robustness is more important to me than fancy new features...!
I found 2 lists of 'Best ROMs for Moto G5'. The shortest recommends 8 here:
https://romsx.com/best-custom-roms-for-moto-g5/
So which should I choose?
NB: Moto G5 only has 16 GB.

You will have to ask Motorola for the answer to the first part
As for custom 64bit roms:
Lineage 17.1
Lineage mint (based on lineage 17.1)
ASOP android 10
Are the latest custom roms for this device (see dev section)
All will have the same issue with regards to camera/video recording not working fully

Thank you for your reply!
But what about ROMs that have been more tested in real life, where camera and video etc. work?
Yes - it is Motorola that should answer my first questions. I don't expect any answer from them... But others might have a comment...

All 64bit roms will have the camera issue as Motorola have not released updated camera libs
The roms I listed above are the latest roms which will have the camera bug minimised but you will still experience issues in some apps like only being able to take a certain amount of photos before the app freezes, camera not working in low light, green tint, video not recording/saving and so on. You can use various other apps but nothing is perfect and you may still experience issues
The only fully functioning custom rom with no bugs will be the 32bit lineage 14.1

That is the most useful information I have yet seen about custom ROMs - thank you!
But according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973 LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 is:
ROM OS Version: 7.1.x Nougat
Last Updated 2018-03-18
And the 'stock' OS on my Moto G5 is Android 8.1.0 updated in February 2019.
My intention was to UPgrade my OS, not DOWNgrade it... !
So THAT LineageOS 14.1 doesn't really seem relevant.
And on https://download.lineageos.org/ there doesn't seem to be a version for Moto G5(?) There are versions for G4 and G6, but not G5. (Neither under Lenovo - the actual producer.)
But thanks anyway!

Only official versions will be on the lineageos website
There is no difference between an official and unofficial version except the official versions are built on the lineage servers every week with any lineage side changes (not device side unless merged by maintainer)
However official versions have to meet certain criteria in terms of everything that works in stock rom must work in the unofficial lineage build submitted to become official.
As the camera doesn't work as it does in stock in lineage 17.1 it will never become official in its current state
They are listed under Motorola because that is the company that makes the phones
Lenovo is the parent company that owns Motorola

But I am not 100% sure about whether you are confirming that the stock ROM on Moto G5 is the newest available Android OS version where everything works?

All 64bit custom roms have camera issues due to no updated propriety sources

That's sad.
So when I want to buy a phone in the future:
Which other smart phone brands will probably not leave their customers with 'a choice between plague or cholera'...?

Samsung will have the most community support as they are the most popular phones
Google pixel will obviously have longevity
Xiaomi might be the best budget choice other than later Motorola models
