Feature rich ROM with stability - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Guys, my Z2 is now on LOS 16 and getting ~6 hours of SOT with stock kernel and without any modifications. But the customization is very low compared to some other ROMs. I want to know which ROM has lots of features and customizations with good stability?

For customization try bootleggers and msm xtended.

Msm Xtended and Syberia OS - Filled with customizations
Aosip - Stable and decent customizations

Thanks for the replies. I found a couple of people suggests AOSiP for both stability and customizations. To AOSiP users, is there any annoying bug in the ROM which you face in the day to day use?
How about Resurrection Remix and Carbon ROM?

No bugs in AOSiP, very smooth ROM. Wifi disconnects some times (doesn't annoy me), but I guess this problem is prevelant in all popular pie ROM's

Guys, if you're using Resurrection Remix ROM or the Carbon ROM could you please give some reviews of these? Like SOT, stability, features, customizations, etc.?

Yes, I have this problem constantly in all of the Android Pie ROMs. For me the Wi-Fi disconnects both whilst using the device and also when the device is in sleep mode. It's annoying because when the Wi-Fi disconnects in sleep mode, it will not reconnect until I manually wake the phone. So I end up missing a lot of important notifications. I heard from other people who also have the same problem. One person said that having his phone in airplane mode (with Wi-Fi enabled) made the problem worse. This is also the same in my experience.

Best Oreo 8.1 ROM with Oxygen OS features?

Which is the best 8.1 ROM with best performance and battery life? With oxygen OS features like long screenshot, App lock ,Gaming mode and download speed in status bar?
Long screen shot afaik only in OOS. But gaming mode and download speed statusbar there is lot of rom have that features. Like Xtended, Havoc, and other rom like RR based but they do not have the gaming mode. You can enable the gaming mode in Quick Settings, the function almost the same they disabled head up notification and disable hardware key when gaming mode enabled.

Thanks for your reply.
So I guess I'll have to use a third party app for long screenshots. That's a bummer.
What about Built in App lock?
And which rom in your experience had the best battery life and performance? I'm willing to try custom kernels too.

App lock also only OOS have that feature. You'll have to use 3rd party app to use applock.
Depends on user, there is lot of custom rom out there and you gonna need to try it yourself to suit it with your taste. Some rom does not have all features, I've flashed almost all custom rom for OP3 Nougat, Oreo and Pie. For Nougat I would recommend Zenity RR and NucleaRom. Oreo, Havoc OS, RR Luis, Xtended, except Havoc and Xtended rom most RR based rom does not have gaming mode. For Pie, there is a few as Pie is still new, Xtended Pie and Havoc Pie. Havoc rom is one of the rom that has most of all the features custom rom have. Try Mady Kernel for best battery life for Oreo and Pie custom rom.

OmniDragon is a very smooth and stable ROM (based on AOSP with a really good kernel preinstalled), with enough features and it has the best download speed meter imo

Just got done trying Omni for about 3 days. It has a lot of features and customization. But I noticed some minor ui lag and frame drops on it. Not the smoothest.
Right now I'm on Los 15.1 Lesser customization but it feels smoother to me.
Camera?
I'm looking for a new custom rom for my oneplus 3. I'm on open beta and getting a bit bored.
I've used custom roms before but always found the camera to be a bit crappy. Can anyone recommend a custom rom with the same features on the camera, such as slow motion video and all that?
Thanks

Resurrection Remix 6.2.1 or LineageOS 15.1 for lenovo P2?

Hi,
All is in the title: between Resurrection Remix 6.2.1 or LineageOS 15.1, what would you choose (or have already chosen) for a Lenovo P2?
I look for stability, bug free and secure rom.
Thanks by advance for your answers

Well I have used both I can share my experience.
1. Stability wise both are nearly same as RR is Los based and uses Mike's source. Personally, I did not find any issue on both regarding stability.
2. Both share the same wifi deep sleep bug. I did not find anything else.
3. Both are big names, so nothing to worry about who is more secure. But in Los SELinux status is enforcing while its premissive on other. So, better to go with Los here.
But Los lacks customisation.They are removing so called feature with every release. On the other hand RR have tons of them.
Hope this helps!
SELinux is Enforcing in RR. Whereas, Video capture and Slow motion capture is available in RR only. I don't know if LOS and other ROMs have catch up or not as I'm on RR for quite some time now. Deep sleep bug can be controlled by switching WiFi tethering On and Off after using WiFi.
Android is all about customization and RR is what Android needs to be!
My bad if its Enforcing in RR.
Yes RR have tons customisation which also I mentioned earlier.
But I dont think RR would be more stable as it also uses Mike's source and also strongly believe Los will support those camera features. Obsession is right but U can't ignore the big elephant in the room i.e LOS here.
Hahahaha.. No one is obsessed here, only experienced here. Why would a guy leave its fully stable stock ROM for a dull and feature less ROM which doesn't give stable experience, eats battery and lacks customization :silly:
If I am not wrong then AOSP is even bigger elephant but nobody cares.
?? If it was experience then u would have not termed it as unstable and battery drainer.
I use Los and I know how it works.
Yeah! RR is a great Rom but that don't make others unworthy.
What you think
What about liquid remix custom rom
RR is stable and comes with tones of customization. My favorite is the edge guesters which provides a truly botton less navigation experience.
Never liked LOS much because of lack of customizations. Mike has done an amazing job with it. Too bad that apart from RR no one else use his sources for making ROMs.
Cr Droid 9.0 pie is better
I tried all Roms but c4 Droid is better rom
For Oreo: CrDroid is the best option, also don't forget to flash highwstar's camera(Only use VERSION v2-7.1, it's for nougat and oreo). fix. As well as Astrids Video recording fix. So that every camera works. (Photo and Video recording, also no wrong time shown after recording video)
For Pie: Every Rom build after the 24.11 is good. And don't forget to flash video recording fix! Only that one is needed.

Anyone still using Oreo?

I have tried Pie roms but they are not as stable as Oreo. Especially in games like PUBG where there are glitches.
Anyone else on a stable Oreo rom? Which rom and why? (Do mention Android version to avoid confusion.)

I'm on bootleggers 3.0 last oreo build with derp 2.8 Kernel i tried almost all ths oreo ROMs and this one is my favorite , you should try it once :good:
yes,
I am using Cardinal AOSP and pretty much happy with this ROM ! :fingers-crossed:
you can try it
Yaps i still on orea , i have tried most of pie rom available for our device but all of them has some kind of glitches and not enough customization as in oreo ,so i will stay in oreo untill pie rom as stable as oreo and has enough customization.
yep, still using aosip oreo rom, it's the first rom i flash after unlocking bootloader, pretty much stable for my daily use
I'm still on AOSiP Oreo, pretty much since I've bought the phone back in June (used RR for some 10 days maybe), and have briefly tried Pixel Experience, but back when it just came out.
Oreo roms are still more stable than Pie, although for my kind of usage I could even go for Pie, but I don't want to give up Xposed just yet.
It would be nice to have another update for Oreo roms with updated blobs, but I guess exactly 0 devs share this opinion so there's that.
@Cirra92
What"s wrong with AOSP PIE roms ? I"m using PE right now. Apart from "not perfect" standby battery drain, broken manual network selection, broken 5GHz hotspot and that time when MIUI camera refused to record a video (fixed it by rebooting the phone) there isn"t much to complain about. PIE roms seems stable to me

Well I didn't state anywhere that they are unstable, I have just said that Oreo roms are still more stable which means more refined and bugs (mostly, or at least the major noticeable ones) ironed out. You have named couple of bugs already, there are also couple of bigger ones, not supported SD card formats, unstable network handoffs (4G->3G->2G), some roms have WiFi bugs. And that's normal, count in the time put in Oreo roms, and on the other hand Pie roms, as with each major Android release, new bugs arrive, some harder to fix, some easier.
And another note I want to make (mentioned in previous post) that for my particular usage, Pie roms are probably suitable enough, though it depends when will I decide to switch and give up on GravityBox and XInsta (mainly the latter).
Pie roms are certainly getting polished, and are already daily driver material for most people, but still, not everyone.
Revolution OS in combination with latest Deep Kernel.
Perfect for me. Smooth, no lags, fast and awesome battery life

Question Best custom rom

Hey,
I have a Poco F3, I unlocked the bootloader recently, and I want to know which ROM should I get or is the best for you. I tried xiaomi.eu, but I prefer AOSP/pixel (I tried some, but I can't make a choice). What is the best, I know for now there is crDroid, Pixel Experience Plus but unofficial, Pixel Extended, etc Should I wait for more stable, official or new custom ROMS ?
What are the pro/cons or features of each ?

Edit : anyone can share his opinion here and/or ask on this thread

Thanks in advance !
In terms of features you can't get more feature rich then crdroid. Most ROMs are rock stable and the one main missing feature dt2w is going to be coming in the next week or so. I'm currently using pixel extended and I've had no problem and am thoroughly enjoying it

Thank you, I'm currently using crDroid but the lack of Google Apps bothers me. I was using pixel extended but I had some bugs. I might retry, I'm hesitant for now with pixel experience plus too.

How can a rom lack Google Apps as you can install them through the playstore ?
ps : it nice not to rely to much on Google btw
Thanks for all the response, I am waiting for more stable releases, but for now I'm with pixel extended still with some bugs, but the best that I've tested so far.

Running Lineage on mine, with Quantic kernel, Micro-g, I am getting insane battery life, This phone has been an amazing upgrade for me after being on Mi6 for over 3 years.
for a beta Build, I have yet to run into a single issue, everything is running smoothly.
I have the feeling this phone will receive lots of love from developers and will have custom roms for years to come.
Edit: on my build I have finally fixed battery drain when, double tap, ambient pick-up, or AOD is enabled, it makes no difference, my phone dozes beautifully at night. How is it with other ROMs?
The key for me and everyone i think is the kernel, no matter what I changed with the original kernel that comes with lineage the phone gets no doze, only when I use Quantic + Lineage everything is 100%.

Did you flash the kernel only via TWRP or is it TWRP and fastboot dtbo?
Also, have you had issues surrounding running apps like Google Maps or Kodi? They install and boot up but crash seconds later.
best currently MIUI BASED rom? ive tried miui.eu but ive found some bugs.

I believe there is a telegram group, I don't have telegram or any other chat app so I rely on XDA. I am using my own Frankenstein build though, where I borrowed features from all roms but I use lineage as base.

Nice! If you are comfortable sharing a build I would surely try it once I receive my device, I've been on Lineage for years!

Question Which custom ROM are you running?

Custom ROM users, which ROM are you running?
I've noticed that there are a few ROMs that don't list their features and people are just supposed to know which ROM will suit them, unless they want to keep reinstalling new ones and testing them all out.
All (almost all?) of the ROMs are based on AOSP, so what sets them apart from one another? What makes a ROM worth choosing over the others, for you? What features do you like of your ROM? Let me know!
If you are using a ROM not listed, post below
Kinda hoping some folks comment on this in addition to taking the poll. I'm considering switching to a custom ROM, but there are so many and I don't know which ones would be a good fit for me.

What's unique or different about them vs. stock? Any particular reasons you like either one?
I prefer the AOSP type roms both very snappy
Running crDroid, which is taking after the Pixel interface. Very stable, customizable, good battery management without throttling in games (at least for the ones I use). Definitely becoming my daily driver.
The only thing I'm missing is the original camera app from Oxygen OS/Color OS 12.
I recommend having MSM tool already set up and drivers installed before flashing custom Rom, although following the instructions, you shouldn't run into any issue. This will make it a lot easier in my opinion if something goes wrong.
I'm personally using Nameless at the moment, and is pretty nice. It's different then oxygen os 11, but pretty good. It has an ota update in settings like stock.
There are some really nice options at the moment, and am very thankful for the devs time for each one of these Roms.
Like previously mentioned, there is not a Oxygen camera port yet that I'm aware of with all the features like stock, but maybe soon. Wireless charging is slow, and a few minor bugs(like really minor). Overall very very nice. Thanks for reading, posting, and I hope this could be of some use. Thank you sincerely to all the incredible devs on the OnePlus 9 pro XDA forum.
crDroid too. I like it more than stock C44. The one and only ROM, which installation is flawless. Any other ROM is plagued with 'Cannot read' issue.
Now I run "Nameless"
For me is the BEST ROM out now for OP9 Pro ( I've tried all others ROM's to )
Most stable
I use Visible cellular service. The only A12 rom that has been compatible Visible is crDroid. I don't know what is done differently with it. I've tried them all and it's the only one that works for me.

Look for CAF telephony when choosing a rom for your phone. I used to have Verizon with the same issue. Derpfest might work for you too
Those that have chosen a ROM such as Nameless or crDroid, the reason often given is stability. Is this the main reason, or are there unique features for each ROM like there are between different phone manufacturers?

crDroid: You have some customisation features in a dedicated menu, the wireless charge is fully operational, battery optimization is great, everything has been working as intended so far. I feel at home using it.
I tried all of these ROMs but Derpfest and Paranoid are the only rom I didn't experience frequent stuttering. I prefer Derpfest because of its completeness and customizability.

Spark os right now and cherish os before that.
Tried almost all of them, they're all a mess imo.
Nameless was the most stable and had all the basic needed features like choosing the display resolution, min/max Hz.
Stag reboots and gives crashdump too many times
Crdroid is extremely laggy, has a lot of features but lacks basic ones, huge battery drain
PE/Lineage too many stock apps freeze, stuttering, doesn't feel smooth
Derp was ok-ish
Nameless probably the best when writing this.
