Most stable Pie rom for Z2 play? - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

Hey guys
Can anyone please let me know which Pie rom is currently the most stable and stock? I have no problems with the current stock rom of this phone, but I need to try GCam so I need 64bit OS. Also because I have a 4gb variant and it's ram usage is capped at 3.6gb.
It would be really convenient if Turbo Charging and other Moto features could work with the rom, and maybe improve battery life too.
I'd really appreciate it if you all could share your experience. Thanks.

I'm currently using resurrection remix on the z2 Play. It works ok, the external battery mod is not supported but it's working and I've installed an app with root privileges to get more insight in the external battery's statistics. Android version is 8.1.0 and the ROM is downloadable from one of the z2 play threads here in XDA.
The Google camera is working, except for the slow motion camera.
I haven't done much ROM hopping yet as the prebuilt ROMs offering for this model seems limited.
I read the part where you say that you have the 4gb model but the OS is 32bit.
Same here, rediculous, one of the reasons that drove me to flash it with a custom ROM.

try Havoc GSI like me.
And return back here to write your feed back.
i'm using Havoc for a long time, and I will wait your feedback after use it.

Help

New to Android - Which ROM should I use?

I was WP/iOS user and recently switched to Android. Just got my OP3, which is my first Android device. I am wondering, which custom ROM should I get. I kinda need more battery life and SOT so I want to ditch the OOS.
Do note that I have literally 0 use for fingerprint scanner, android pay and camera (well, not fully but any mediocre quality camera/pictures will work).
Also, I would appreciate if there is any guide or video tutorial, showing the whole process of custom ROM installation.
I would recommend Cyanogenmod 13.0 with Elemental X kernel.
Here is a tutorial to unlock bootloader and install TWRP Recovery

And here is a tutorial on how to install Cyanogenmod 13.0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR4NkdHEq20
OOS is a great near-stock rom tbh, but if you still want to try another I'd recommend Sultan's CM
Would recommend you to stay with stock as you may feel all this tweaking thing a bit laggy (coming from iOS , which doesn't let you even customize properly) but for sake of having the taste of tweaking :
Its a 2 part step
1) Unlocking bootloader , installing TWRP , backing up your data (as this will completely wipe out your phone) including whats app (using google drive built-in feature) and messages (using "SMS back up and restore" available in Play Store) . Avoid using links provided in video discriptions

TWRP Recovery : https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/twrp-3.0.2-1-oneplus3.img.html
2 ) Installing Custom Rom close to stock with patched Kernal would be better for you to address battery and SOT issue and lot of audio mods , I would suggest freedom OS 1.6 CE ,

I'd say OOS on stock has the best battery. If you want some rock hard stability along with battery, go for ElementalX kernel on OOS. If you dont want OOS so badly, then go for sultanxda s rom.

I've never been interested in securing my phone and thought I would not use the FP scanner but found it is the quickest and easiest way to unlock the phone so I use and love it now. Just a quick press and the phone is ready to go instead of a double-tap + swipe etc. I suggest you get familiar with OOS for a while before you jump.
Resurrection Remix Blackjubel is great
There es elementalx Kernel preinstalled
It's smooth and stable and battery life is also good.
And you have many in build Features so you don't have to install xposed.
@arandomdude, this poll might shed some light on your question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/september-rom-kernel-mega-poll-t3456213.

Just at OOS, just root it, install Xposed and use Amplify and Greenify. It'll boost your SOT a lot. Also don't use Chrome browser. It drains battery a lot.
No one can tell you what the best custom ROM for you is as everyone's preferences vary, my advice stick to stock for now . SOT will improve over the first week of usage and you need to get to know the device / OS before choosing a rom to mitigate any perceived weaknesses. Take your time assessing new roms, as I said SOT will take about a week to stabilise. Above all enjoy yourself it only takes a few minutes to flash a new rom do why not try them all.
New to android?
Then start reading, you have a hell lot of things to learn, don't blindly jump into what random users says is good, laziness will damage your phone and diminish your trust in Android

How is the audio clarity and quality when compared to the stock ROM? I have stopped flashing any custom ROMs - be it Oreo or Pie just because of this issue. Also, could you please share the full camera version that you are currently using - is that without the Portrait mode? Also, how much screen-on time are you getting?
Hello there... this post got my interest too. I have jumped back and forth between stock and custom. It is sad "for me" that it seems most devs have given up on supporting / maintaining Oreo 8.1. Everyone is trying to iron out the bugs in a Pie custom... however, I simply want the stability to be there... especially with the camera features and battery life. I am not a gamer either, btw. With all of that said, I have a question or two please.
1. Why did you quote using an older version of Magisk? Is there a compatibility thing that I should be aware of?
2. With the Gcam mod you referenced, does stability work smoothly while recording video? I have found that in many custom builds the stability mode can be jerky and no too smooth.
TIA

Treble ROMS and Customs Stable ROM

Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is a ROM, no bugs in Moto G5, no camera errors, errors of synchronizing contacts, 4G.
I wanted a stable rom as the stock.
The Moto G5 is not compatible with the treble project , how to install treble roms? (There is always a method so I was wondering if there are methods to install treble roms on a mobile phone that does not support, and I know you guys from the XDA forum do not play in service so there is a method to install treble rom on the Moto G5)
*I'm sorry for bad English, I'm new to the xda forum, I'll be grateful for a helpful answer.
Technically the G5 does support treble but it's still quite buggy, I wouldn't recommend using it atm.
There are no fully stable ROMs yet (and I highly doubt they will ever exist because we don't have too many developers). The USB tethering and camcorder issues will likely still exist. Use stock or get a better device.
I am on AOSiP treble and it works fine. Moto actions don't work, but camera and contacts (after manually installing latest play services apk) work. So it really depends on what you need... I am talking of Oreo obviously.

There's 4 to choose from.
Lin17
Pixel Experience
Crdroid
AOSiP
The first 3 are based off LineageOS, and are also using the same sources from Fagyi, so they are all very close and I believe have the same amount of bugs, namely, SlowMo, SeLinux permissive and I think IMS - VoLTE.
AOSiP is based on AOSP. I would personally make nandroid of current ROM and maybe flash all 4. If you flash just the ROM, it should boot rather quickly and then you can run them stock for a little bit to get an idea of the ROM. You will be your best critic.
Whatever one you end up on, I hope you enjoy it!
Fagyi has been like a machine with all the work he does for our device, and also for kindly sharing his work with us, so I can reap the benefits and be able to work on crdroid.

Very welcome my friend!!
Glad to hear you will be giving them all a shot, I think they all are great and each has a little bit of a different feel, and MODs and everyone uses them differently, so it can be tough to suggest someone a ROM. I don't think PE has a dedicated 10 ROM thread ATM, sorry about that, but you are correct you will be able to find latest information in that P thread.
Here is what I believe is the most up-to-date PE 10 ROM.
I think this ROM is still in beta so possibly why doesn't have thread yet. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261625110
If you give crdroid a go, always looking for feedback (both good and bad). Have fun and enjoy Android 10!
Pie ROMs are also more stable if you want to compare say crdroid P vs 10, or Lin17 vs Lin16

Stable aosp rom for 8T

Hello
I just recently bought a Redmi 8T that has MIUI Global 11.0.9 installed.
I am not so keen on MIUI, it looks great but I just feel more comfortable using an aosp based rom.
I see there are quite a few custom roms for these devices. Can anyone recommend an aosp based rom that is stable enough as a daily drive? I don't mind so much about having the latest Android version, I'd prefer stability than the latest.
A few added features to the rom would be even better,
Thanks,
I tried pixel experience, paranoid android, and as usual, lineage. I found paranoid to be the best so far, with pixel experience being second and lineage the "worst".
Why so?
PE I tried to return to, yet something worked wrong and after I flashed the ROM, device said there's no OS. That's why it's second, otherwise I liked it.
With lineage, whatever is said to work does work, but there's one huge problem for me: when I plug in my earphones, apps like WhatsApp or Telegram go mad. Also with lineage I am stuck with using only raw_sensor, and I don't like it. Yet if/when they'll fix this earphone problem, I'm considering returning to it simply because they way I'm used to using my phone is more possible by it.
There are some things I don't like with paranoid, which you can read from the thread if you like, but for now I'm there and can recommend with its limitations.
