Sometimes this phone becomes unusable. For example when I open Google maps the phone will freeze for about a minute until I turn the screen off, sometimes I have to reboot. It's not only with maps it will happen if I am on YouTube or just on chrome.
It happened in another rom and I switched ROMs but still have this issue. I am on skydragon and only have magisk with energized protection, BusyBox, and wifi bonding installed through magisk.
Could it be the high RAM usage
High RAM usage is never a problem even if your device is using close to total RAM available.
If you're using F2FS try changing to ext4.
I am not using that.
I also haven't downloaded any rogue apps.
I have noticed my battery dies faster and charging takes longer. Not sure if related
Try the Magisk FDE.AI module. I installed it on my OP3 and it works waay faster

Anyone encountered random reboots on the G4 before? Happens randomly, not sure if it's the cause of root or Xposed installed. Have Power Nap, Greenify and Amplify activated.
I've had zero random reboots since buying the G4 on release day. I'm rooted, no Xposed yet.
My old Galaxy S4 was ROM'd, rooted, xposed… and would randomly crash very often. Driving along with satnav, switching apps too quickly, opening the camera, look at it wrong = reboot.
I'm hesitant to install xposed, given how rock solid my G4 is now.
I was trying to draing my battery so I could test my new Quick Charge charger. After I turned Wifi, Data, Location, Sync and 100% brightness it rebooted. This is the first time I have seen it reboot by itself.
I have Greenify, Power Nap, Amplify and Xposed installed as well.

I've turned off Power Nap and it seems to solve the issue, you may want to try that out and see if it works or not.
I think Power Nap is hibernating/closing something that is needed for the system to work properly during sleep, causing it to crash and reboot. Can't seem to find the root cause/app that's causing that though.
I have noticed ever since I have started using lollipop based roms, the apps seems to install alot slower. For instance I had about 10 apps to install and I went to bed, when I woke up the next day it still wasn't done. They download fast, they just don't install fast like they did with kitkat. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, is there a fix?

Apps definitely install slower on lollipop. It has to do with ART vs Dalvik. Lollipop uses ART by default, where earlier Android versions used Dalvik, though kitkat did have an option to switch to ART. At a high level, on ART your apps will take longer to install because of some pre-compiling that has to take place. They also might take up some more room in your storage. However, they should open faster and hit the CPU a little less hard each time they open when using ART. Whereas on Dalvik some just in time compilation happened every time you started an app.
Not getting 10 apps installed overnight seems extreme. It sounds like your phone went into deep sleep and didn't work on the installation. Do you use something to try and aggressively force your phone to deep sleep when the screen is off, or revoke some "keep awake" privileges somehow? Also, if you use a CPU governor like interactivex that locks your CPU to min frequency when the screen is off, installing apps on lollipop will take a looooong time if your device is sitting with the screen off.

Should be longer, but all night seems excessive, perhaps it failed overnight or your phone went into deepsleep.
I bought a used Note 4 Sprint and since I flashed marshmallow using odin on it it gets laggy or reboots from time to time.
Is it something with my Baseband? Like should I install a different Frimware or it's a marshmallow issue?
The battery is okay and the screen is all good as well.
And finally do you recommend me any stable ROM or stock ROM ? Thank you I'm advance
You could likely do better with later Marshmallow releases and possibly custom ROMs if that's your thing. I'm on the PJ1 update running UN7 (Note7) port.
Between, Samsung, Google and Sprint, there's enough bloat on a stock Sprint Note 4 to sink a ship. And Samsung can't optimize the RAM caches well enough to suit individual preferences because it favors its native apps that are baked in as well as other system apps from Google.
This optimization may not favor the apps you prefer to run at will so you need to understand how to deal with it. There's Samsung's version of Doze and there's Android's version of Doze on your Marshmallow Touchwiz firmware. Samsung's version will routinely shut your apps down and doesn't do a good job of real time RAM management while sleeping. It's based on a 3 day run theory but it doesn't my user apps use at all; it shuts apps down that haven't been used in three days. This favors apps that it runs in the backgrounds continually.
So turn that of and focus on Android Doze is my advice. You can find both methods in battery management. Smart Manager may a shortcut to battery management but you can use Settings to find it too. You may see App power monitor on first battery screen; I advise turning that one off. Android doze can be found by tapping Battery usage then tapping 3 dot menu button in top right to goto Optimize battery usage. Once there, the dropdown menu will allow you optimize doze by showing all apps. I disable ones I don't want running continually but enable those that may be impacted by doze with screen off only. If you ever wonder why your music or downloads stop with screen off, here's a place to start. Push notifications should happen anyway with doze active so those may not need enabling to run continually.
You may consider freezing apps that show as running when you don't prefer them to even you're checking running apps. You can use Smart Manager often to optimize RAM or get an app that allows you white list some apps and dump cache for non white listed apps on a scheduled basis.
Personally I find Marshmallow Touchwiz poor for RAM management. The UN5 Lollipop ports managed RAM better without having doze. Somehow I think even the Note 5 may not have good RAM management on Marshmallow. Maybe Nougat is a different story? But I do know that Marshmallow proved to be a bigger challenge than Lollipop did, especially the ports. Why would I run Marshmallow? I guess its inherently faster than Lollipop. But only when optimized, IMO.
I also use Boost+ by HTC found in Google Play Store to free up RAM. Samsung thinks many apps I use regularly aren't being used. HTC Boost+ can discern app use better and logs freed RAM so you know it's working.
As a user, you can discern if these suggestions help or not. Just lag, preferred running apps and battery management advice. They may not be every user and YMMV.
Edit: pay close attention to battery capacity at reboots; bad batteries do have a tendency to shutdown, possibly reboot as well. Last time I had a bad battery, it was on a lollipop ROM; phone shutdown at 30% and plugging in charger showed 0%. Marshmallow may be different; battery is suspect for reboots in Marshmallow. I haven't experienced reboot issues with Marshmallow or have a bad battery to add to this suspicion though.

You couldn't have got a better answer very concise and thought out. I can only add that a bad battery will have the same results as far as shutdowns in marshmallow. Never had a reboot issue. However many have with the earlier builds.

I been using custom nougat oxygen ob roms, and they seems to have an issue of too low performance(or battery saving thingy idk). For example, while I'm downloading something in chrome, minimise chrome/screen off, the download would pause. Or when I'm using my phone as a hotspot to connect psvita as a controller for pc, there's input lag whenever the screen is off, but no problem when screen on or charging. Also to mention ping for gaming would spike when screen off/not charging. Mostly network problem. I don't have greenify and turned off battery optimisation and doze.
Would someone recommend me a fix, either changing Rom, kernel, app, mod or something? I can't afford to trial out everything...

Well if you stop dozing Chrome/Download Manager it should not stop the download. For the rest I can't help you.
Been a long time greenify user and I just flashed crDroid recently though I turned the battery manager off as it might interfere with greenify. Has anyone tried using the both together? Standby drain seems to have increased in pie and I was thinking if the battery manager would help (and not cause noticeable inconveniences such as delays in notifications).
I'm also on cr droid and that is kind of an double edged sword. I would certainly suggest not use both. And battery manager is also a reported bug in pie. But ram management is the whole point of pie and supposedly the biggest improvement. Some builds of cr droid I got 1 hour screen time and others I get 9-10. I think pie changed so much it's still an infant and I can also say that I'm a long term greenfly user and stopped using it on pie. It wasn't helping because the point of phones with 8 gigs of ram and background ram management is to leave processes open and let android idle them. So constantly killing background processes and reinstatement when the screen turns back off is way more taxing on the CPU. And I have honestly found the best results by using neither. Greenify used to be a must have but I believe its no longer needed
