Stable rom for everyday use in 2019 - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello community, I bought a cheap nexus deb as my daily android tab, I tried different roms but most of them have bugs glitches issues etc... I need a stable rom to everyday use, I would even like stock 6.0.1 but it has no split screen (useful to multitask write/read as I’m a university student) and mostly because installing stock rom uses stock partiton size so no space not even for adaway that I need cause sites are too heavy with ads. What roms could I try? I would prefer if has an overclock kernel avaiable.

What android version do you want to use?

All ROMs - both official builds from Google and Custom ROMS from our talented developers here on XDA - have bugs. Just a fact of digital life!
If you want the most stable build available, you're probably best served by Google's official releases. Scroll down for the different GNex versions/links.
If you want Lollipop, check out the Android Development board. Plenty of great developers and ROMs to chose from there. I have a 5.1 ROM linked in my signature below, as well.

thanks for the answer. i will try this 5.1 rom. Some roms have little bugs, and others like lollipop roms make the device not good for daily driver, like the camera not saving pictures, green lines on video etc. i will try some roms and leave the most stable on his device, but i think i will flash 4.1.2 in the end.

I've tested out many of the newest ROM'S and I'm still not impressed with the overall functionality of them when compared to the 4.1.2 PA ROM I've been running for over 2.5 yrs now.
The following is the files/order I flash in Clockworkmod:

Man this device was a pain for me today. after wiping to install 4.1.2 the device disconnected. and the usb connector i think is faulty. i had to flash every bit of rom in fastboot and a lot of errors. so i installed 4.0 rom because system.img was smaller and took a lot of time to copy the 300mb file and finally the device booted. i ota to 4.1.1 and i think i will ota manually to 4.1.2 because on device already appeared 4.2.2 ota. do you think is worth update all the way to 4.3? the device is smooth and i like the camera app better than 4.2 rom with that awful lag to rotate. do you think is better have an updated device or keep it in 4.1.2?
AOSP Lollipop 5.1- a wee better than stock is the best lollipop I could find yet. It is near-stock Android, and the overall performance is very good comparing it to the age of this device. The only bad thing I can say about this device isbthat the battery is draining faster(it might be an issue with my phone). If you are brave enough(such brave, much wow), you can try to overclock to 1.5 and the performance will improve by a lot

Stable Custom ROM on Nexus 5X

Which Custom ROM is stable as much as such stock in Nexus 5X?
There are tons of roms that are stable as stock. There'd be no point in listing them because you can just browser the forums yourself. Just about all of the official MM roms are stable (note the "official" part here) and some unofficials. N roms are more finicky at this point as I've tried lots of them and had lots of issues with FCs due to substratum theming on those that supported it (easy solution here is to not use themes).

I am thinking to use themes actually. Ultimate aim to keep device in a dark state. I like black color. Is that official CM13 ROM is stable enough (really stable) for daily use ?
I recently bought a nexus 5x so it is first time, I am going to try a custom rom.

Best Rom for Nexus 5x

Goodmorning everyone?
Which is the ROM that offers the best relationship between speed and stability?
Thanks for the answers
PS: Excuse me for my bad english?
LineageOS 15.1 is in my opinion the most stable rom.

But... is Lineage OS faster than stock 8.1.0 ?
The main issue is that this device has only 2 GB of RAM... so if Lineage OS takes less, that would be amazing! (maybe you can post a screenshot of the average memory usage?)
I prefer ABC, since I stepped over from stock 1y ago. Pure AOSP +some usefull extra's, no bugs, fast. Latest build. But:
1. best-ROM-threads are unwanted here, because everyone has his own best ROM. Use search function and read earlier threads.
2. Bullhead has BLOD-problem and BLOD is hot up by CPU. So don't prioritize speed.
None, stock 7.1.2
Best one so far

Yes, but it's not updated
In my opinion Slim Rom 6.0.1 is the best ROM you can get for this phone. It is the fastest, quickest, and most reliable.
I personally went back to stock ROM after Pure Nexus stopped updates. For my basic use, stock runs fine, updates regularly (just updated to 9/5 update), and has been totally reliable. But it's not my main phone, so I don't want to spend time screwing around with it.

Which custom roms do you recommend for the N7 2013 in 2019?

I have a N7 2013 (flo) running Android 4.3 and I want to upgrade its software to something more recent. Suggestions?

Please!
I would be keen to know this as well.. I don't really need latest Android, I don't use the tablet that much and all the apps I need are still compatible with the Stock Android Version
Having said that, I always like having the latest so I firstly installed the latest Lineage 16.0 with Pie and found the device to be too laggy.. It wasn't unusable but enough to be annoying.
So I tried Resurrection Remix and found the performance to be a lot better but still some small lag. I went back to Stock to compare and it was smooth like butter
I guess the small lag is to be expected installing a PIe ROM? If this is the case, I will stay with stock but still with TWRP and rooted with Magisk.
However, if anyone can advise that maybe another custom or original ROM with an earlier version of Android is still smooth like butter eg Oreo or Nougat then I would happily give them a try.
Cheers

My version is Lollipop
As far as I know Nougat, 14.1 is still the most stable.
Here is a link to 14.1: It was official but is now being periodically updated by JT1510365 in an unofficial release.....

I've been happiest with this one thus far: [ROM][9][Pie][Flo][Deb[UNOFFICIAL] AICP P 14.0
Pretty snappy, excellent battery life, standby lasts days, lots of extras, and SElinux can be set to enforcing without breaking anything serious (imo). I haven't had any crashes either, that's a plus.
Stock marshmallow + elemental x kernel works well for me.
I put validus on my lads nexus, it works really well, but I've recently discovered it does not allow install of unknown apps, so I am looking for something else on Oreo or above which is fast, stable, and has good battery life.
I will try the ones mentioned above and post an update.

Just go into settings and click "allow apps from unknown sources (or sth. like that)

It doesn't work, installing unknown apps is blocked by the validus developer, hence why I need a other rom, lol
I´m use stock mod for me<+ Elemental X... is most stable... and battery

What Rom is most stable of 10.x builds?

Hi guys i used to be a active here on xda but since i got my one plus i kind of left all this behind. Im now looking to bring some life back to my 5t but i want something as stable as possible as it is a work device. Thanks!
This is a hard question because most people didn't try all custom roms. I suggest you check each Android 10 rom status here, if it's mentioned "stable", it should be good enough for daily use.
Any rom which doesn't use h2os firmware.

Buggy
i tried pixel experience and OOS 10 beta , pixel experience is a daily driver not sure about oos10beta tho cause i just got it today but it seems stable
Mainly I'd avoid custom roms cause I'll miss OOS features,no matter how good the custom rom is
I've tried Pixel experience only.
The battery life is more or less the same during normal use (if you play game, the battery will empty soon).
Derpfest rom
